TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, MARCn 6, 1914, BEAVERS PRACTICE UNDER WARM SUN BIG GUNS IN MAJOR LEAGUES WHO HAVE BEEN IN GLARE OF FEDERAL SEARCHLIGHTS Berry, Knapp and Pape Only Players Missing Derrick and Bride Arrive. DOANE AND "HIG" "BEANED" Milligan, Brown and Hanson Look Good at Mart Double-Header Planned for Sunday Young Pitchers to Have C'liance. BY KOtiCOE FAWCETT. PORTLAND TRAINING OA MP. San ta Maria, Cal.. March 5. (Special.) With the arrival in camp of First Base man Derrick and Bride, and recruits, Pitcher Brown and Outfielder Milligan, of Cedar Rapids, la., only three ath letes are missing from the Portland Coast Leaarue champs' rollcall. The absentees are Catcher Berry and Pitchers Krapp and Pape. Berry has signed -with the Pittsburg federals, ac cording to reports; Krapp is holding out and may not report, while Pape is involved in a legral fuss with the Buf falo team and is not expected for weeks. Hence, it would seem as though San ta Maria is as heavily populated with stiff-limbed athletes now as it is to be in March of 1914. Doane and "His" "Braged." All hands and the cook were out un der a broiling sun today both morning and afternoon, unlimbering. Training camps usually are dull affairs. Fifteen kids on a corner lot can fur nish more real live excitement than $75,000 worth of ball talent going through training vaudevilles, although it seems a shame to puncture this bubble. However, two accidents cut through the prosaic gloss this afternoon and, for a time, it looked as though Mac might have to endow a hospital. Walter Doane and Irvo Higgin botham were the victims, both inter cepting thrown balls with that por tion of the anatomy usually reserved for haircuts. Hig's injury appeared serious for a few minutes, for he sfuck ' his head in tne. way of one of Gus Fisher's rifle throws to second, but except for a little dizziness he pro nounced himself all right tonight. Doane's injury was more trivial. Milligan Not VouogHtrr. Dave Milligan, the new outfielder drafted, from Cedar Rapids, is not so much of a youngster as some had fig ured. He is 26 years old and was up in the American Association with In dianapolis in 1911, going back to the Central Association after suffering a fracture of the leg. Milligan soaked the pellet for .320 last year and stole 53 bases, so his lamps and legs appear to be in tip-top condition now. His side-kicker, Roy Brown, took his turn feeding up balls to the batters this afternoon and showed a nice easy swing to his delivery. Brown won 19 and lost 10 games in 1913 with a club that was in last place all but the last three weeks, so must have something to recommend him. Elmer Hanson is another young Pitcher who is attracting considerable notice around camp. Hanson is the phenom sent up from San Bernardino by Chet Chadbourne. He is a big fel low with a decided zip on his ball and can clout like a .300 hitter. On Sunday the Beavers are billed for a double-header. The Regulars will tackle Santa Maria and the Yannigans will hook with the Pinal oil outfit Captain Rodgers says he will use the young pitchers exclusively. SAN BERNARDINO, March 5. (Spe cial.) Three hours of hard work throwing, chasing and batting base balls, winding up with a fast "soccer game, constituted today's workout for the Angels.

Coast Leaguers Fight to Last for Game Always In Doubt Throws Askew ' and In fielders Shy at Ball In First Game of 1914. SAN FRANCISCO, March 5. (Spe cial.) Oakland is oft to a good start. Other than that Commuters show signs of real civilization under the tutoring of Arthur Devlin and while it's early in the game to predict that the aggre gation from Pleasanton will win any pennants, it can be said for them that worse teams have seen the light of day in Coast League circuits. Whatever else may be the matter with them and it is not fair to as sume, perhaps, that they are troubled at all the Oaks have added a world of speed to the club as compared to 1913. Not only on the bases, but in the field It is quite evident that the trans-bay team can 'race on tho high for some distance. At any rate, the Oaks trimmed the Chicago White Sox today by a score of 7 to 5. in a game that wavered first one way and then an other. - i Oaks Fight to Laxt. Of course the inflclders shied at the ball occasionally and naturally some of the throwing was askew, but it was a good exhibition -and the Oakland fans have a right to feel proud of the in itial effort of the team bearing their name. Hits were by no means shy. for the quartet of pitchers two twirlers to a side did not make any extra efforts to put "stuff" on the ball, and bunched hits were responsible for the scoring. Twice out in front as the game pro gressed, and finally seemingly beaten in the first of the eighth, the Oaks fought harder than ever and piled up three tallies in the Tast of that inning to give themselves a victory. Sox Miss World Tourists.- Although the White Sox are labeled a "No. 1 aggregation" they will really not be a first-class ball club until Jin:my Callahan, Buck Weaver .and divers others of tha Sox return from that trip around the world. As mat ters stand, however, Kid Gleason has a presentable lineup and a team that, once in its stride, should win its share of the games. The score: White Sox Oakland Ab H O A E AbHOAt Aicoclcs. .

GALESBURG. HI., March 3. Speak ing before the household science de partment of the Illinois Farmers' In stitute recently, Mrs. H. M. Dunlap said: "The present-day mode of eating and the dressing of many of our women should make the angels weep for man's and woman's shortsightedness. Let us take a strong stand against freak dressing and see if it will not be pos sible to have a hygienic, beautiful and sensible mode of clothing our bodies" Mrs. Dunlap emphasized the need for a county home expert, ma well as a county agricultural exoert. to direct a systematic, campaign of education among home-makers. J. W. Street, of Mackinaw, discussed eugenics. He condemned the double standard and disagreed with Governor Dunne, advocating the teaching of sex hygiene in the public schools. OLD CIRCUS OWNER DEAD "Doc Needles" Once Kicked a Lion Out of Turkish Bath. BRIDGEPORT. Conn.. March 2. (Spe cial.) George H. Downing, known in sporting circles as "Doc Needles," died here, aged 51 years. For So years he had been a theatri cal and sporting events promoter. While still in his teens he traveled the country with theatrical and medicine hows. At one-time he was the owner of the one-ring Goodrich circus, which wintered at Bridgeport. For a season he managed John L. Sullivan in an "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company under canvas, in which Sulli van played Simon Lagree. In his early years he was the proprietor of a hotel in Hot Springs. Ark., and later he owned a saloon in Forty-second street. New York. He made and spent several fortunes. Years ago, while in a.

FRAT "CANDIDATE" DEAN Zealous Freshman 'Secures Promise From Head of "W." NEW YORK, March 2 (Special.) As a result of a story which has leaked out on the Columbia campus. Dean Frederick p. Keppel. of Columbia, is the butt of the faculty and students. Wednesday afternoon when the fra ternities were entertaining members of the junior class. Dean Keppel made the rounds of all the chapter houses. In one of,the houses he was spotted by a freshman as a likely candidate for admission to- his fraternity. The freshman was so impressed that he in troduced the dean to some of the upper classmen. The dean winked at the older students, not to disabuse the freshman's mind, and when the- dean departed he re ceived a warm invitation from the freshman to be sure to attend the smoker which is to be held by the fraternity next week. The dean promised, but he said yes terday that he didn't think he would keep the promise. 13 OF 300 WOMEN .PASS Mental Test for Female Police Cuts Down Applicants. . . CHICAGO, March 3. (Special.)

"RAG" ORDER STOPS DANCE Students Quit Ballroom When Order Is Enforced. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. March 3 Ordered to stop "ragging" or leave the hall 70 couples attending an im promptu dance in the university armory hissed Henry Doerman and Allan McBean, who gave the order. Then all but seven couples, who were dancing sedately, according to the rules laid down by Doerman earlier in the week, hurried for their wraps and left the hall in disgust. The seven couples danced for a few minutes and then joined the secessionists. The piano had no more than soynded the first strains of the tango when "ragging" of the most extreme type began. "This must stop," shouted McBean, athletic director, who, with Doerman, Y. M. C. A. secretary, rushed out on the floor. They had taken the respon sibility of conducting proper dances after th basketball games. "Unless the rules are followed couples will be asked to leave the floor." A storm of hisses greeted the order and couples parted and the rush for the cloakroom .began. WIDOW'S VERDICT $7000 Deaih of Husband From Fallen Light Wins Case. NEW YORK, March 2. (Special.)

SOX SECONDS DEFEAT TIGERS Hap Hogan's Goofs Batted Hard by Major League Recruits. LOS ANGELES. March a. (Special.) "Goof." Had anyone slipped up be hind Hogan tonight and hissed thi word in his ear the chances are that Hap would have died of heart failure. The Goofs are species of ballplay ers to be avoided by reg'lar ball teams. Old Bill Sullivan exhibited this at Washington Park today, disguised as the White Sox seconds. The Sox knocked the yarn off the ball, batted over strong fences, fielded in August form and beat up the Tiger forces generally. Score: Chicago 4, Venice 1. The Goofs are recruited from Chi cago, Keokuk, Sugar Creek and way stations. Well knowing that the folks back home were scanning the town weeklies for news from the front, they batted the ball until they were black in the face. Ed Klepfer and Julius Decannier di vided the burden of pitching for the Tigers. Both men were spanked for a couple of runs, which were the con crete output of the afternoon. Rogge. Quarders and Prough, Sox recruits, pitched in pennant-winning form. The only clean Tiger hit was made off Rogge by Carlisle in the third in ning. In the fifth Sully trotted out Quarders. He went four innings. fanned a lock of three, and would have retired hitless but for a freak bingle by Klepfer in the eighth. Prough pitched the wind-up inning.
