CHAPPELL FINDS HIS GAIT
tkjriic Puts His Trusty Bludgeon to
Work Also Home Runs, Double
Steals and Other Classy
Tricks Feature Game.
SAX FRANCISCO, March 13. (Spe
fcial.) rossibly the anticipated arrival
of Jimmy Callahan, the real ringmas
ter of the White Sox. had something
to do with the Chicagoans' animation;
perhaps it was an off day for the
Seals. At all events, it was a differ
ent team that faced the Seals today in
the fourth game betwen the two clubs
and when the wind-up came, Comis
ky's Americans had registered a 4-to-0
shutout.
And most of the glory, although not
all of it, goes to H. Jasper, the young
gentleman from Dubuque, la., who had
such a disastrous session last week.
Jasper evidently has been improving,
and it's really due him to say a lot
of nice things to take away the sting
of the week before. He held the Seals
to five scattered hits and he struck
out eight of the Coast stickers who
faced him. Which record speaks for
itself.
Aside from Jasper as a feature
maker fjr the Sox, there was young
Mr. Chappell. The former American
Association card didn't look so very
good when he landed with the Sox
last season, but he is starting off this
Spring with plenty of work and dupli
cated his performance of earlier in
the week by lacing out four straight
hits, every one of them a beauty.
The run-geting in chief was reserved
for the seventh. Bodie led off with
a scorcher to left field and Chappell
put the ball against the right field
fence. Berger tried for a bunt, but
O'Leary miscued in his throw to How
ard and the bases were full. Schalk
dumped the ball on the ground.. Arlett
waited for it to roll foul, but nothing
of the kind happened and Bodie scored
with the bases still choked.
Then came Alcock's single to center
and Lord's sacrifice fly to right that
accounted for the other two runs.
Bodie made the circuit in the eighth
when he knocked the ball through
Corhan. stole second, took. third when
Chappell singled, and scored when the
pair executed the double steal. Score:

CHICAGO "GOOFS" EXPLODE
Venice Tigers Run Away From Sec
ond White Sox. Team, 9 to 2.
ANG-ELES, March 13. (Special.)
The "Goof epidemic is now in its
second, or acute stage. It was neces
sary to fumigate the park after today's
outbreak. The City Health Officer
would be justified in placing all of the
visitors in quarantine, while the in
sanity commission should examine the
head of any fan who will admit that
lie didn't once leave the park.'
In the seventh inning, the "Goofs,"
Individually and collectively, blew up
with the loudest bank of the many
loud bangs which have made the month
of March Just one bang after another.
At the same time the Tigers batted in
dividually and collectively, and scored
in a large chunk.
All told. 12 of them walked, to the
plate and twitted Brother Kogge and
seven of them crossed th plate in a
solid phlanax. They declined to desist
from their mischievousnees untill Billy
Sullivan, pressed to the very extremity
of his pitching resources, lifted the
ban from Clarence Smith and sent him
to the firing line. Clarence forthwith
winged his way back into the good
graces of Sullivan by stopping the on
slaught. Last Wednesday Smith was suspend
ed for tan days for "sassing" bade As
the players Jo not draw salary in the
Spring exhibitions. Smith bore up un
der the blow bravely.
Those six runs were sufficient for
all of Hogan's needs, but a minute in
spection of the box score reveals the
presence of three tallies picked up
before the bona fide banging com
menced. As against this imposing total of
nine, the "Goofs" could show but two.
Their industry ran in another direc
tion. Withr eight boots, they com
pletely overshadowed their opponents
In the error column.
Both rotund Hitt and Cack Henley
pitched like they were getting real
money for it, and were bedecked by an
artistic and flawless support. Sorry,
but we can't say half as much for the
"Goofs." Score:

CHICO. Cal., March 13. While Willie

fighting last night to retain tf title,
nowhere else in the world, -perhaps, was
the result of the battle being awaited
with more interest than in the little
community of Chico Veeino. Willie's

life Willie's name' is Geary Steffen,
three of his brothers and their wives
live there. Francis, Jr., is night lino
type operator on the Chico Record.
To the Record came the first news of
the decision. In fact it came before
the tenth round had ended the prac
tical joke of some waggish telegraph
operator in San Francisco: "Ritchie
knocked out in the third."
It was almost a real knockout for
Frank Steffen. He had to call in the
day linotype operator to relieve him.
and went home. Half an hour later
came the true news.
Brown Leads Milburn.
NEW YORK, March 13. With a

AGGIES TO MEET INDIANS
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE BASEBALL
SEASON OPENS TODAY.
Clank With Cbenam Expected to Show
Coach Clarke Men Who Are Be"t
Kitted for First Team.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, March 13. (Special.)
The baseball season at the Oregon
Agricultural College will be officially
ushered in tomorrow afternoon, when
Coach Clarke's hdpefuls hook up with
the Chemawa Indian team. The Braves
have been holding strenuous practice
for several weeks, and are reported as
being a hard-hitting aggregation, so
the game should prove a good workout
for the locals.
Of the multitude of "bushers" who
turned out for practice at the first call
last week, 18 men have been named by
Coach Clarke to constitute the first
squad. These men are: Captain Bennie
Culver. Moreland, Weller, Goble, Hutt,
Loof, Fryer, Smith, Shaw, Wilson and
Robbins, of the veterans, and Supple,
Seiberts, Sinclair, Seeley, Williams,
Morgan and Tamerlane, of the recruits.
Of the new men, Sinclair, of Pasa
dena High School, is showing up best,
with excellent fielding form and con
sistent batting. "Ade" Seiberts is rest
ing from the arduous basketball sea
son just closed, and has not been out
regularly. His best showing has been
at the second station. Supple was a
secondary student last year, and con
sequently was ineligible, but has been
performing well at the backstop, and
should prove a good understudy for
"Chub" Weller. .
Three of last year's All-Star Port
land Interscholastic players are on the
squad. Of these, Seeley is living up
to his reputation as an expert at the
difficult corner; "Blinky" Morgan is
playing a good game at shortstop, and
"Billy" Williams bids fair to prove a
valuable addition to the hurling staff.
All three of these men will make
strong bids for regular varsity, berths.
Wilson, who landed at third last sea
son only to sustain a broken leg that
put him out of the running, is out
strong again, and has been snowing
form. All of the old men are showing
up well, and with the abundance of
new material to strengthen the team,
prospects for the Aggies are bright.
Tomorrow's game will be in the na
ture of a tryout, and several men will
be tried at each position. The veteran
lineup probably will start the game.

PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Santa
Maria, Cal., March 13. (Special.) St.
Patrick's day may be an official Ro
man picnic date for some of us, but
there is a big Norwegian boy in this
camp who is looking forward to the
Irish holiday with all the intensity of
in undertaker watching Aviator
Beachey do his loop-the-loop.
Said Viking s name is Elmer Hanson,
The strapping right-hand pitcher,
plucked out of San Bernardino, is
chiefly interested in St. Patrick's day
because Manager McCredie has dele
gated him to start again for Portland
against the Chicago Americans Tues
day. Mac made this announcement to
day, adding Higginbotham would pitch
the last four innings, with Haworth
behind the plate. (
"Hanson is chly a kid, but he looks
like a find to me," said Manager Mc
Credie. "He has a finished move,
good speed, a fair curve and fair con
trol. I think Chadbourne did me a
good turn by sending me that boy."
Haworth "Makes Good."
Another pronunciamento by the Port
land Coast manager today was to the
effect that Haworth had "made good"
and would stiok with the champs. Ha
worth is a Portland boy, who did such
excellent work for Pendleton last year
that the Macs bought his release. He
has tons of pepper, a good throwing
arm and, while small, has been hitting
the ball hard.
Roy Brashear reported to his new
teammates today. A huge southpaw
named Bill Hall, late of Santa Barbara
about two weeks also lumbered off
the "dummy" train at noon time and
was out warming up. Cap Rodgers
discovered him and will stand his bond
in the community.
To show that there is nothing in this
"Friday, the 13th," hoodoo talk, Bras
hear played second for the Yannigans
in the daily practice scrimmage and
came away with two screaming sin
gles and a walk in three trips.
Brashear waltzed up once with the
bases full and nearly exploded the rub
ber core by his violence.
The score was:
Regulars 4, Brashear 2.
Derrick and Rodgers Hit.
Fred Derrick and Rodgers also
trampled on all trumped charges of
astigmatism by poking out a brace of
hits apiece. One of Rodgers' drives
off Higginbotham lit in the village
chestnut tree and, at last reports, the
runners were still en route. Roy
Brown lived up to his reputation by
stinging a similar home run over the
right fence.
Higginbotham went the entire seven
innings for the Yannigans, setting a
camp record. He was nicked for only
six hits, but those two home runs some
what jarred his equanimity, if Hig
possesses uch a luxury.
For the regulars Salveson and Roy
Brown were on the gunning end.
Ryggs, of Decorah, Iowa, sandwiched
into one batter, but his arm was so
lame he could not have knocked a
wasp off his nose. Ryggs is yet a
youngster, but he has a cute little spit
ball when he can heave it and Hi West
thinks he is 18-karat stuff.
But. to return to Salveson, or, "Sally,"
as the camp has dubbed him. .
"Sally" Shows Speed.
"Sally" showed extreme speed, but
mean control, and retired under a mass
of three hits and a walk in the third
inning. He said his arm was sore,
and so did Brown, who pitched the last
four frames, but. In contrast. Brown
had control and a good mixture of
hooks and slow ones put the brakes on
the runaway.
The score by innings follows:
Yannigans ..0 0 2 0 0 0 0 2

of Derrick, who is nursing a sore arm.
INDIANS AND SEALS CAVORT
Northwesterners Show "Smoke" In
Cainp at Boyes Springs.
BOYES SPRINGS, Cal., March 13.
(Special.) "Nig" Clarke put the Seals'
stay-at-homes through an afternoon
workout today and at the workout the
boys showed a willingness to do their
best for the acting manager.
The afternoon was an ideal one for
training, and with Mike Lynch leading
22 Spokane youths upon the battlefield,
"Nig" Clarke and his squadron had
some strenuous practice.
The Northwesterners had 10 twirlers
out today, five of which are south
paws, trying for honors, namely., Jesse
Baker, Sharon, Russell, Galvln and Lei
fer. They all showed plenty of smoke,
considering the short time they have
had in training. Joe Wagner, the stel
lar second baseman for Spokane, as
well as Covaleskie and Healon, are ex
pected on any train.
Young Croll, nephew of "Bull" Croll,
arrived last evening and will try and
claim third base sack.
A game is scheduled for. Sunday be
tween the stay-at-homes and the Spo
kane club.
Secretary Art Shea was on the bat
tlefield basking in the sun and an
nounced that he was very much pleased
with the way the young boys displayed
their talent. Another workout is
scheduled for the morning and possibly
again preceding the one that is to take
place Sunday.
DE FORREST FINDS BAT EYE
Wolverton's Yannigans Go 10-In-
ning Tie With Regulars.
MARYSVILLE, Cal., March 13. (Spe
cial.) Gilbert Da Forrest, Captain
Wolverton's recruit second baseman,
has found his batting eye on the eve
of the two games which the Wolves
play against the Santa Clara collegians
in Sacramento Saturday and Sunday.
In a slugging game between the reg
ulars and yannigans today, which in
cidentally went 10 innings to a 6-to-6
tie, De Forrest connected safely four
times out of six trips to the plate. One
of his hits was, a double: the ether
three were singles, and all but one
vere of the clean-cut variety. They
were all registered off Frank Arel
lanes. The battle started out as a seven-
inning game, but with the score tied
:.t five all at the end of seven frames
Wolverton refused to call a halt. Each
team scored one more in the eighth,
but the ninth and tenth were unpro
ductive "cf runs.
Frank Arellanes and Ralph Stroud
were the opposing slabsters and each
went the full 10-inning route.
Eddie Hallinan will probably not be
seen in action for the Wolves in the
Santa Clara games. In batting prac
itce today Eddie followed the exam
ple of Al Schweitzer and suffered a
broken toenail when he batted a ball
full force on his foot.
The Wolves go home tomorrow for
two games, Saturday and Sunday with
Santa Clara College.-
Pitcher Lang, of Los Angeles, and
Catcher Wakeman', of Oakland, have
been sent back to the bushes.
OAKLAND YANNIGANS WIN
Devlin Gets Two New Members and
Discards Mitze.
OAKLAND, Cal., March 13. (Spe
cial.); A few hundred of the dyed-in-the-wool
variety witnessed the Oaks
stage their practice joust on the home
lot today, the expectation being to ac
custom the players during the final
weeks of preparation to grass surface,
such as will be met with when the
real play begins. The usual five-inning
game was indulged in, the Yans
breezing home easy winners.
With Ramey and Arbogast working
lor tno rans, Devlin experimented witn
three left-handed hitters in the outfield
for the Regulars to leara how his off
side swingers take to left hooks and
fast ones. Ramey generously allowed
all of three hits. Barrankamp yielded
seven.
Killilay returned from the bedside of
his sick wife in Fresno, and is ready
to take up the conditioning process
where he left off one week ago. Geyer,
threatened with malaria, has been ad
vised by his physician to clamp on
the brake for a few days.
Two added starters reported to Dev
lin today for the 00. Messlinger, a
pitcher from the Trolley League, wear
ing a toeplate on his right foot, un
corked several underhand wild pitches,
until he dislocated his thumb fielding
a bunt. The other was no less than
Slim Nelson endeavoring a comeback
stunt. The former Oaklander ap
pears in good condition. Devlin to
day ordered Mitze's name stricken
from the clubhouse locker. This would
indicate that the erstwhile manager's
services are no longer counted upon,
notwithstanding the many contrary ru
mors. FEDS CLAIM TWO MQRE

make the next start in the Northwest
race with a team composed of younger
blood, i
Mohler's place at the keystone sack
probably will be filled by Babe Reams
and i not Reams, some other member
of the younger set.
. Mohler has not been traded as yet
nor handed a release, but the latter
is the probable method of disposal, as
Mohler is too high priced for other
teams of the Northwest, and perhaps
a little too old for the Coast Leaguers.
The "Kid" is still able to put up
a lot of baseball and one of his most
valuable points is the manner in which
he is able still to hold down the
younger men around him and act as
anchor in' times of stress.
President McCredie is not so much
in favor of disposing of Mohler as
Nick is, but the later thinks so much
of his rebuilding plan that President
McCredie is agreeing with what Nick
says and does.
Victoria wanted Mohler. but when
the price which the Colts had been
paying him was divulged Victoria very
quietly backed up and decided that
Mohler was not at all a man for the
British Columbia team.
The others felt the same way about
it. Mohler probably would readily find
a berth in the Northwest League and
the teams would be glad to get his
services, but as Dugdale, of Seattle, is
the only member of the league who
can be said to have any use for a
money sack, the Northwesterners will
probably pacs Mohler up at his present
valuation.
There was some talk last Fall of his
going back to San Francisco, but in
what capacity was not mentioned.
Mohler still has a lot of baseball in
him.
As matters now stack up, it is prac
tically asured that Helena, of the
Union Association, will work out in
Portland. Manager Jess Garrett has
not come to any decision regarding a
Northern site, and while there are no
distinct advantages of drilling the club
around the Sound, there would be the
additional transportation of practical
ly his whole team as a drawback. He
would have to bring them back this
way to start at Boise. By being here.
he could save considerable. . Many of
his stars are living here.
President McCredie is anxious to see
Garrett train, his club In Portland. If
Garrett does, the Colts will play Helena
a series of five games the week before
the Williams team jumps in the North
west schedule. This also looks good
to Garrett and he has practically con
cluded to- do his unlimbering here.
-
Frank Eastley, Colt twirler, is a
holdout. He has been that ever since
the contracts were sent out. However,
Nick Williams is not worrying and
went south confident that Eastley
would buy a ticket when the middle of
th month came around.
President McCredie and Eastley are
expected to get together some time to
day and settle their differences.
President L. M. Brown, of the West
ern Tri-State League is disgusted with
baseball, according to a letter sent a
Portland friend 'yesterday.
Mr. Brown has been a hard and con
sistent worker in the efforts of or
ganized baseball in Eastern Oregon
and neighboring states. If the Western
Tri-State goes down the river, a state
of affairs which seems a drear possi
bility, Mr. Brown will in no way be
blamed and fans still will recognize
him as an earnest worker foe the game.
It is now late in the Spring and it
will take Herculean labors on the part
of those- interested in the Tri-State to
put things back In shape so that run
ning at the start will be fairly smooth.
