BOOSTER
PLANS
Automobile Parade for Fans
and Players Arranged for
Opening Day.
TROLLEY IDEA IS DROPPED
George Baker Will Start for High
Balls Against Beavers Manager
O'Bryan Is Looking for More
Talent for His Stars.
Opening day in Portland will not be
signalized by any streetcar parade,
tut the Portland Baseball Boosters will
again organize an automobile and fea
ture parade to mark the 1914 "Play
ball" signal of the Coast League in
Portland.
This was decided at yesterdays
meeting of the parade committee at the
Hotel Portland, when communications
from the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company were read, in which
the traction company wanted a guar
antee of $7.50 for each car making the
loop.
The automobile parade will be made
more spectacular than in former years.
The boys' drum corps of Portland will
have a prominent place with instruc
tions to make as much noise as pos
sible. Several bands also will be hired
with Instructions that real noise will
have preference and right of way over
"sob" pieces.
Boosters to Carry Horns. ,
The boosters will carry horns and all
in all it will be about the noisiest lit
tle celebration Portland has had for a
long time..
Tne two ball teams will be loaded in
machines and hauled through the
down-town district. Following them
will' be Harvey O'Bryan's High Balls,
the team scheduled to play the Beavers
before Oakland goes on the field.
Mr. O'Bryan reported on the strength
of his team and announced that he had
secured Gus C. Moser, Senator Perkins,
W.' F. Strandborg, and probably Judge
Fenton and Judge McGinn. Judge Fen
ton is a member of the Fenton team,
eight sons and the father, formerly
stars of Forest Grove.
George L. Baker will receive a tryout
Against the Beavers. George has been
working faithfully and expresses such
a desire to have a trial in big league
company that Manager O'Bryan has
consented to his starting the game.
Boosters' buttons this year are pink
and green, the design being the same
as that of last year.
High Balls Want Timber.
The High Balls .still want to hear
from old-time material, and anyone
wishing to play on that team should
I write or telephone to Mr. O'Bryan, or
drop a note to the office of the sport
ing editor.
The Boosters will make an effort to
have April 14 declared a half holiday
and get the biggest crowd ever out to
the game.
George L. Baker whispered this
around the table' and made it a per
sonal request that nothing be said of it
in the papers. However, it is too good
to keep and here goes.
The Baker Theater is going to run
"The Girl With the Pennant" during
the opening week of baseball. Un
doubtedly the big impresario will re
cent this breach of confidence.

Beaver Training Camp Notes
SANTA MARIA. Cal.. March 19.
(Special.) Walter McCredie and
lioy Brashear are both of the opinion
that Charley Baum is to prove one of
the mainstays of the San Francisco
pitching staff. Mac rates Baum as
one of the best six twlrlers tn the
league, while Brash, who formerly
captained the Venice club, from
whence the Seals secured Baum during
the Winter, is equally enthusiastic
Homer Haworth occupied third with
one out Sunday in the game against
anta Maria, when Derrick lined a
drive into left field. Instead of etick
ing on third, ready for a dash home
after the catch. Haworth pranced
down half way to home plate prob
ably figuring it was a base hit. For
tunately for the young catcher the
ball got away from the left fielder
and he scored but it was a lessou for
Homer.
"1 should have known better." he
remarked afterward. "Terry McKune
drilled me last year in that play."
"Don't let it bother you," chimed in
McCredie. "That's what training trips
are for. But always remember here
after to stay on the bag. If the ball
its caught you have to go back any
way to score after the catch, and it
it's a base hit you can walk in."

If Peet is worth 110 a ton how much
is Haworth?

to arrange a trade of some surplus
flinging material for a good sluggtr.

view to Investing, but decided Calla

that looked good to him.

Netvs That Pendleton Has Come Back
Into Trl-State League Received In
Time to Retain Players.
BAKER, Or., March 19. (Special.)
Word from Pendleton that the club in
the Western Tri-State League had been
re-organized there with a Jump put
new life into Baker fans and today
plans were made for a big campaign
next Monday to obtain the extra J1000
or so needed to finance the Baker club.
A committee of five was appointed
to solicit funds and a delegation of
Pendleton and Walla Walla magnates
will be here to assist in financing the
club. Many fans who have been luke
warm, including some of the heads of
the big business houses, volunteered to
contribute liberally.
News from Portland relative to the
high class of players secured by Man
ager Carl King has done much to lead
Baker fans to believe that baseball may
be a paying game here this year, as,
with Baker up fighting for the pen
nant the belief is that the attendance
would be such as to take care of the
financial end easily. This belief is
based on the loyal support accorded the
team last year when it won almost no
games.
Word from Harold H. Clifford, club
president, now at Portland, today was
that he had been on the point of re
leasing the entire lot of Baker players,
when news of Pendleton's re-entry into
the league was received.
FIRST VARSITY GAME TODAY'
Chcmawa Braves Will Meet Oregon
on Baseball Diamond.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
March 19. (Special.) Oregon univer
sity will play its first scheduled base
ball game tomorrow and the second
game Saturday. The Chemawa Braves
have daubed on the war paint and
will attempt to massacre the Bezdek
palefaces.
Three weeks later the University of
Keio, champions of Japan, will "kiyi"
around the campus in an effort to as
similate finer points of the National
pastime.
Although these games have no direct
bearing upon the conference champion
ship, they will serve as the grand
finale to an elimination process to de
termine "who is who and why" on
the lemon-yellow squad. The deter
mination is by no means easy as
Bezdek has 20 men who are showing
real varsity class.
Following is the probable lineup
which will be sent first against the
Indians: Motchenbacher, catcher;
Welch or Tuerck, pitcher; Fenton, cap
tain, first base; Annuson, second base;
Cornell, shortstop; . C. Bigbee, third
base; "Buck" Bigbee, left Held; Billings,
center field, and Nelson, right Held.

It is not surprising that uuim tar 1414 other
