So has Manager How ard. Bill Tozer was sent to the mound for the last two innings of the day. out that was merely to divide the work. Six scattered hits were registered by the Chicagoans. and when the game ended the San Franciscoans were two runs to the good, both of them having been garnered in the first inning. Three double plays held the young sters out of possible trouble. Pete Standridge worked five innings, more than the other pair combined, and he was touched for four hits. Two speedy double plays assisted materially In keeping the score down and he was backed up by faultless fielding. Arlett, in two Innings, gave two bases on balls and allowed one hit for each session. Tozer, who completed the day's performance, was in good condition and the six Sox who faced him retired without reaching first. Sepulveda not only worked well be hind the bat, but he made two hits.

Bert Loomis. the man of mystery, and Tortsider Lloyd Ramey overlooked the little ceremony of passing along the horseshoe that enabled them to survive nine full rounds against the White Sox on the Oakland lot last Thursday, and in the wake of the oversight came the sad slaughtering of three of their fellow-moundmen this morning. Tyler Christian. Jack Killilay and Kube Geyer essayed the pitching burden in turn in an attenuated contest and failed to gather any garlands. Everything was lovely for a brief spell, with the Oaks doing the lam basting of the sphereoid and making the tallies. Then the scene took a sudden shift. The things that hap pened after the fifth inning brought tears to Musky's eyes and affected Chief Devlin so that he withdrew him self from the conflict. At the end of two hours of variegated sport the score was 13 to 6 in favor of the visitors, and the last round was called off.

TIGERS DOWX WHITE SOX GOOFS Players Keyed Vp to July Pitch in 3 to 0 Contest 2i t I.os Angeles. l.OS ANGELES. March S. (Special.) The White Sox Goofs ended .their first week's enjoyment here on the cipher end of a 3 to 0 beating. To morrow they will pack up their play things and go down to San Bernardino and find out how Hen Berry's pulse is working. Today's game was the best of the series, with everybody except the Goof pitchers keyed up to a July pitch. Kid Quarders, who received honora ble mention in the newspapers Friday because of his southpawing in Thurs day's game, came back for more, open ing the game. The Tigers bunched three hits on Quarders in the third, but the fates were kind to him and he wiggled through his half of the game without further damage. David Roth, a young man with a sore right arm and a listless disposi tion, took hold in the sixth. He en deavored to get by with the least pos sible effort, lopped up fat ones and placed his trust in Providence. The Tigers, however, also had a working agreement with Providence and smacked him for two runs. Ieard-full owed this misfortune with a line single over first. McDonnell, responding to the hit-and-run code, slapped the same kind of a blow to center, and Bill, sprinting like a thor oughbred, gained third.

Dutch Klawitter in particular and the Sacramento Wolves in general gave plenty of evidence today in a 6-to-1 victory over the St. Mary's Col legians that there is ample room for the optimist in capital city baseball this season. Klawitter mowed down his oppo nents with such regularity and had them swinging so helplessly at his of ferings that the fans demanded that he be taken off the mound after five Innings of no-hit, no-run pitching. In cidentally the big Dutchman hung 10 strike-out scalps on his belt and was so completely the master of the situa tion that the sense of sportsmanship in the fans asserted itself and demand ed that the collegians receive a chance. Wolverton then chased Howard Gregory out on the mound in the sixth nning. In the four innings he pitched Gregory allowed only three hits, two of them beir.g of the scratchiest va riety. The only clean hit made by the collegians brought in a run. BiLLIARDISTS TO MEET WELL-KSOIVS PORTLAND CX'EISTS OPEX TOURNEV TOMORROW. Henry Solomon, Walter Johnson, John A. Stuart, H. C. Georg and T.

Rejuvena tion of Ad Wolgast and reported over confidence of Willie Ritchie have failed to dethrone the latter as favorite in the betting for their ten-round bout next Thursday night. Ritchie, who will de fend his title of champion against Wol gast, from whom he won It, is at the long end of the odds. When the matchmaker of the local club signed the boxers, Wolgast's re cent defeat of Joe Rivers, the Mexican, and other indications that he had "come back" made them confident that Ad would be able to put up a great fight to regain his lost laurels. The public generally does not share in this belief, but certain authorities credit the Michigan man with ability to surprise Ritchie. It took a guarantee of $10,000 to in duce Ritchie to box with Wolgast. He has been shunning some of the boxers who aspired to a chance at his title, holding off from several good offers that he might get "big money." This he succeded in doing, for the Milwau kee club has promised him. it is under stood, an alternative of 40 per cent of the gate receipts. Special trains from Chicago and points in Wisconsin, Northern Michi gan and Minneapolis are expected to bring large crowds for the match. Ritchie has agreed to weigh 135 pounds at 6 o'clock on the day of the contest, and is reported to be within two pounds of the required notch. Wolgast is said to be within a pound of the weight. RYAN-MEEK DEAL DENIED NO TRADE CONTEMPLATED, DE CLARES BOSS M'CREDIE. Sudden Trip of Beaver Manager to Los Angeles Revives Report, but He Denies It at Once. A report is in circulation down Los Angeles way that Buddy Ryan may be traded to Los Angeles for Harry Meek and a bonus. Ryan, as everybody knows, is the famous Home-Run Buddy of the 1911 team of Portland. Harry Meek was the leading batsman of the Northwestern League in 1913, playing on the Van couver team. He was sold to Berry and has recently reported. McCredie, at Santa Maria yesterday, denied that any such trade was afoot, but at the same time .announced a projected trip to Los Angeles today and declined to state its purpose. Since McCredie has finally decided to keep Fred Derrick on first base, thus shunting Elmer Lober back to the gar den, the Beavers are long on outfield ers. Recruit Milligan is up and coming, too, having shown himself fast and a hitter, so there are Ryan, Lober, Speas, Doane and Milligan, all clamoring for places. Meek, who is chiefly valuable for his prowess with the stick, would make an ideal pinch hitter, sitting on the bench between times. Ryan, on the other hand, is too valuable a man to delegate to a utility berth. t But, as stated, McCredie says no trade is pending, and there can be but little doubt that he knows.

HAWORTH POUNDS BALL Harry Krause Opens Season With Home Run Batting Eye and Arm in Good Condition West, Hig and Frambach Try Out. BT ROSCOB FAWCETT.' PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Santa Maria. Cal.. March 8. (Special.) Bobby Davis and Captain Rodgers starred or Portland today in an even break with the Pinal Oil and Santa Maria teams. In the first real game of the season the Pinal Oil Diggers defeated team No. 2 by a score of 8 to 1, but In the second matinee the Regulars defeated Santa Maria 9 to 2. Rodgers performed his star work in the curtain raiser. Playing second base for Pinal, Bill defeated the Yan nigans practically single-handed by great sticking and superlative field ing. Davis featured in the other game, drawing two singles and a triple on the four times up and scoring three runs. Bobby is in great trim. Both games went seven innings un der a broiling sun. Batting Eyes Not Working. Hi West and Gus Fisher were in the points for the 3-1 beating, being backed up by the veteran outfield quartet, Ryan, Lober, Doane and Speas. The boys did not have their eyes primed and were unable to fath om two speed artists named Rojas and Stringer. West breezed the ball across and the Finals hit safely five times for three runs in his three frames. Then Hig went in and held the Oil Diggers helpless. In the 9-2 victory the Beavers poked out 14 hits off Palmtag and Jack Gil ligan, a veteran, now of Minneapolis. Two of these were sizzling home runs by Krause and Haworth almost over the town. Manager McCredie is beginning to sweeten up to young Haworth. He thinks the Portland boy is destined to become a second Red Kuhn. He is small but lithe and determined look ing. Pitchers In Good Form, Southpaw Krause pitched three of the seven Innings and appeared to be in much better condition than when he reported last Spring. He toyed with the locals, allowing only tTO scattered bingles. McCredie tried out Frambach, his Idaho phenom. the last four innings and was delighted. The big blonde had a world of speed and seemed to possess good control. He was nicked for three scattered safeties in the four innings, one going for a home run. All the boys hit hard and timely. Milligan does not figure in the box score, but he poked out one double that the umpire slipped up on. If Mil gan doesn't succeed in replacing one of the regular gardeners he is going to prove a tower of strength to Nick Williams' Colts. Dave is built low and rakish, some thing like Buddy Ryan, but is faster and hits from the right side. Bill Rodgers and Ryan featured In a coyote hunt at daybreak, capturing one hungry looking cripple which they toted into camp half scared- to death. Two Airedales disposed of it after the games. Manager McCredie contemplates a hasty trip to Los Angeles tomorrow. He denies any intent of trading Buddy Ryan for Harry Meek.

Everybody knows what a 'bum' Wol gast was for more than a year follow ing his operation. The chloroform or ether is responsible for that. Now that substance is being worked out of his system and Wolgast 'comes back.' "I do not believe Ad will defeat Ritchie. 'Xiie languor that follows a serious operation of any kind is well known. The patient in many cases does not feel like severe exerttion for a year. Bud is at that stage now.

March 8 (Special.) Independence High School basketball team defeated Newport High School, 33 to 21, here last night. Gilmore, Angry, Promises Raid on Majors in Which Bank ' Rolls Will Melt. FIGHT TO OPEN IN COURTS Outlaw Heads to Bring Suit to Keep Killirer From Playing With Rival Organization Sign Men at Any Price Is President's Order. CHICAGO, March 8. (Special.) Open warfare on organized baseball was de clared today by Presiaent Gilmore. of the Federal League. When William Killifer, of the Phila delphia Nationals, failed to report to Joe Tinker, manager of the local Fed erals, at headquarters today as he had been ordered to do, Gilmore sent a telegram to the presidents and owners of the several clubs in the new organi. zatien advising them to disregard all former orders and to offer contracts to any ballplayers, whether under con tract or not. "The day of fair play is past." said Gilmore. "We waited until the eleventh hour for Killifer to report, giving organized baseball a chance to comply with our contracts, but we find that they have no regard for us and of course we must act accordingly. I have sent Klllifer's contract to E. E. Gates, of Indianapolis, our league attorney, with a request for him to start pro ceedings in the Federal Courts at once to enjoin Killifer from playing with any team in the country excepting the Chicago Federal League club. Wreekinir Campaign Planned. "We have been called pikers by B. B. Johnson, president of the American League, but the fans will receive a chance to decide as to who is the piker. Every owner in the league has been instructed to go after any player they should want. We are in the game with a load of money and we are not afraid of expenses. If money will get the players, we will wreck every major league club.' "Killifer, by all the lawr of contract, belongs to the Chicago Federals, and he will play there or else he will not play at all. Mr. Gates tells me that we have a clear case of breach of con tract and I do not think we will have any trouble enjoining the catcher." This outburst took place at the Illi nois Central Station just prior to the departure of Charles Weeghman's train do luxe which carried his players and friends to Shreveport, La., where the team will train for the coming season. It detracted somewhat from the inter est in the departure. which was watched and cheered by some 2000 fans. Recruit Jackson Report.-). Every player under contract, except ing Killifer, was on the train. W. IS. Jackson, the elongated recruit first baseman from Spokane, Wash., was the last player to report. Considerable comment was heard among the players as to the orders for war issued by President Gilmore. It was asserted that the Federal League will pay such salaries that major leagues will have to make some settle ment to get peace again. It was also said that Cobb. Jackson, Walter John son and other stars would be ap proached and offered enough money to keep them the rest of their lives, just for a contract with the Federal League. Should the Federals make good their promise to shatter the foundation of organized baseball it may force thn magnates -into court to protect their interests, a move that up to this time the clubowners have been sidestepping. Gilmore was vehement In his denunci ation of methods, that he termed crimi nal, and said he was ready to fight tire with fire.
