10 THE SUNDAY OREGONIATT. PORTLAND, MARCH 22. 1914. OUT Krause and Brown Hold Big Blacks Scoreless Spit l ball Recruit Satisfies. lOWAN'S CONTROL IS GOOD Southpaw Twirler Is Heady to Open Regular Show Doane, I lodgers and Lober Have Batting: Eye Working Weather Fine. r BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Santa Maria. Cal.. March 22. (Special.) Southpaw slants and spitballs stood the Negro Giants, of Chicago, on their heads today and Portland scored shut-out. 5 to 0. McCredie's Beavers will break camp in the morning and a big crowd was out to bid them god speed. Harry Krause, southpaw veteran, and Roy Brown, ' a recruit, were on the mound for Portiana and both made the black men look like novices at baseball. It was Brown's first appearance, and the railbirds were all there with an Inquisitive optic to watch his work. Me scored an instantaneous hit. Eu gene Krapp in replica minus the wild ness. Such is the staunch little right hander for whom McCredie forked over ?300 to Cedar Rapids last Fall. Brown Controls Spltter. Krause allowed four hits, one a scratch, in his five innings, and then Brown took up the assignment. After that the negroes" existence was Just one spitball after another. Unlike some masters of the deceptive slant. Brown seemed to have absolute control of his pet hook. He doesn't command Krapp's speed but his hybrid has, if anything, a sharper and more pronounced break. Taylor, cleanup man for the ethiopians was so badly fooled by one spitter that he stood stock still and took a fierce wallop over the heart. After that the black-faced comedians backed away at the first sign of an irrigated inva sion. Four innings is not enough to apply thoroughly the acid test, but Brown has impressed all about camp as worthy to take a regular turn in the box. Krause. too, is in fine fettle. He was as right as ever in his career today, Only two men reached second base. Doane Rodgers and Lober Hit Offensively, the terrific bat work of Walter Doane, Captain Rodgers and El mer Lober featured. Doane led with three hits, giving the speed merchant six for the two games; but Lober wrought more damage with a two-bag ger and a screaming home run drive over the right field fence. Doane also drove a ball over the fence but the umpire robbed him of his homer. Manager McCredie was not present, having preceded the team to Santa Cruz, and Captain Rogers took the lib erty of trying out the young backstop aspirant, Floyd Perkins, former Colum bia University athlete. If Columbia has any more like Perk, Coach Calli crate better send them along. Floyd behaved like a big leaguer. Perkiii Plays Like Veteran. He held up the pitchers like a young schalk: threw out the fastest base run ner on the negro club, attempting to steal second; pulled down a foul fly and then went out and belted in a run with a dandy line over third. His was a most impressive debut and the boy will receive a thorough trial. The Beavers will play the negroes March 24 and 25 at Santa Cruz and Watsonville, and then likely will go on to Stockton for a two-game series with Stockton s State League club, March 28 and 29. Stockton is only a short jump to Sac ramento. If sunshine is the essential for Spring conditioning the Beavers should be In perfect physical trim, for never before has so much wonderful climate been showered down upon one ball club in so short a time. Sun Smiles on Beavers. Not one bad day have the Beavers encountered here since reporting March 2. .

A meeting of members of the Portland Gun Club has been called for Wednesday nieht at the Imperial Hotel. Plans for the final purchase of the grounds on the Powell Valley road will be made and as soon as negotia tions are completed a clubhouse will be erected. President Metzger is con fident that work on the new grounds will start by April 1-. and in that event the clubhouse will be ready for occu pancy May 1. Five new traps will be installed and all will be incased in cement. J. A. Addleman, secretary of the Portland Gun Club, says Portland is destined to have charge of the best blue rock trap shooting grounds in the United States. Mr. Addleman made a tour of the East ern States two years ago, visiting all the principal gun clubs of the country. ihe property that is to be purchased by the local club will be so arranged that a public picnic ground and recre ation park will be platted, according to Mr. Addleman, and the clubhouse will be modern. The Portland Gun Club is the only club in the United States that employs a man exclusively to attend to the traps, said Mr. Addleman. "Sportsmen of this city shoot, rain or shine. An added feature at our new grounds will be a trap placed indoors, making it possible to shoot in any kinds of weather."

In the closing matches of the United States Revolver Association's tourna ment, Portland revolver cracks won over Boston, 1109 to 10S3; over Dallas, Tex., 1128 to 1027, but were defeated by Philadelphia one point for a score of 1108 to 1107. Returns on the Phil adelphia match are not official. A feature of the final shoots was COLLEGE MEN SOUGHT BY DIAMOND MAGNATES President McCredie One of Leaders in Organized Game Who Think More Players With Letters Will Soon Be in Leagues. PRESIDENT McCREDIE, of the Portland Baseball Club, is one roan who likes to see the colleges contributing to the game of baseball. Also he thinks that as the game grows older there will be more men with a long list of letters after their names, to be seen on the diamonds of tbe big leagues. Judge McCredie is of the opinion that ollege men are rapidly losing - that feeling of reserve which formerly kept them from engaging in a career on the diamond. As examples of that type of athlete can be mentioned Eddie Col lins, of the Athletics: Charley Sterrett. late of the Yankees; George Davis, also late of that team; Jack Coombs, of the Athletics, and a score of others. It is a well-known fact that Johnny Evers was strong for college men and had his scouts looking around the dia monds in search of material. Connie Mack is said to have a contract or oral understanding with half the good looking college talent of New England. On the Pacific Coast, one of the best examples is "Orvie" Overall, the, ex- University of California star of the dia mond. Coming closer to home, Walter McCredie, the crafty manager of the Beavers, is a college man from the Middle West Byron Houck, formerly with the Uni versity of Oregon, and now one of Connie Mack's most promising young sters, is another example. Harold Feet, now with the Beavers, formerly went to the University of Oregon. In all parts of the country the col lege men are continually Jumping from the college labratory and study room to the ball field.

George Armstrong, for merly of Portland, but now of the San Francisco Olympic Club, scored a "possible" In match 23 and was placed on the "roll of honor." J. B. Crabtree, secretary-treasurer of the association, will issue the of ficial standings of the teams as soon as match 23, the closing one, is re ported officially. It is practically certain Portland will be near the top of the list. Portland's showing against some of the best clubs in the country has been remarkably good. Amateur Athletics. The second game and victory of the season came to Manager John D. Dwy er's Oregon Law School baseball team yesterday against the Tillicums on tbe West End grounds. Score 4 to 2. Lin coln, Nordlng and Applegate formed the battery for the winners and Han son and Brunner for the Tillicums. Fourteen hits were made by the law school and 7 by the losers. mm Sutherlln was the big star in the Lents Giants-Palace Laundry Com pany game. He pitched for three in nings, struck out five, allowed one run and one hit, scored two runs On a terrific home run over the left-field fence, and then registered a two-bag ger in the last inning. The final score was Lents Giants 23, Palace Laundry 3. Columbia' University fell before the Kenton Giants, 4 to 0, yesterday. The Brooklyn Midgets had little trouble in downing the Peninsula Juniors, 11 to 2, on the winners grounds yesterday. Robinson and Goldman starred for the Midgets. Playing in their old-time form, the South Portland White Caps registered a 12-to-l victory over the Portsmouth aggregation on the South Portland grounds yesterday. Wise and Gatz were the mainstays of the winners. For games with the White Caps after April 1, write Manager Mike DeClcco at 563 Hood street. The St. Johns baseball team defeated the Brooklyn Grays, 4 to 0, in the down-river town yesterday.

While the sand lot "busher" undoubt edly learns the game, in the skirmishes with the other towns and semi-pro teams, the college man has the "jump" on htm. In the four years previous to his advent in the real game, the col lege player is schooled and drilled and told all the "don'ts" by men who are selected with all the care of a professor of medicine, calculus or analytic geom etry. Just as often as not the baseball coach gets a better salary than half the professors of the college at which he may be employed. It would seem log ical that the players he develops would be worth something on the professional diamond. College baseball is getting better every year. Competition is keener and the men on the teams know more base ball. The victories which colleges win over minor league baseball clubs are convincing evidence that the colleges are not hopelessly outclassed. Brown and Tale, among others, won from professional clubs last year. Nowadays, the man who teaches the colleges the baseball is a veteran who has seen baseball. Also he is a man who knows how to impart what he knows a man who is a drill master. With the colleges all fighting for Athletic supremacy, the man who can not produce a team loses out. This has produced a game which today is noth ing at all like the slip-shod baseball which the colleges played 15 to . 20 years ago. This la borne out by the small scores. However, it was not 20 years ago that Lafayette made 8S runs against Lehigh University. Tale and Harvard scores of a decade back show the same wide range. . , ' fc s tV J V' 111' i WWJH lliS-S til RIGHT, ROGERS AND RYAN WITH WORTH (CATCHER RECRUIT) AMD COLTS WIH 3 10 2 Baptisti Holds Collegians Hit less for Six Innings.

The Portland Colts, of the Northwestern League, defeated the St. Ignatius College baseball team, of San Francisco, playing under the colors of Sebastopol, here today in a close and exciting game of 11 innings by a score of 3 to 2. It required the last man up to settle the supremacy of the North erners, and the contest held its inter est to the last second. Nick Williams arrived here with his Colts Wednesday and this was their first game of the season. He worked his younger and new men and was greatly pleased with the result of their efforts. Baptisti, the Indian, let the collegians down without a hit for six innings, when he was relieved by Cole man.

SCORING RULES CHANGE PRESIDENT BAUM TO ADOPT COM MITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS. Cincinnati Base Hit Abolished and Ho Error Will Be Given Catchers for Throws In Double Plays. SAN FRANCISCO, March 22. (Spe cial.) Scoring instructions are to be issued to official scorers over the cir cuit this year by President Baum. Baum will follow the recommendation of the baseball rules committee. There are no particular changes, although such as they are will doubtless interest the fans who like to keep tab. In brief they are as follows : The Cincinnati base hit la abolished. Sacrifice fly is abolished and will be labeled sacrifice hit. Where fly in such case is dropped batsman is to be cred ited with sacrifice hit if it is tbe opin ion of the scorer that the man would have tallied on the throw-In. Catcher or innelder who attempts to make double play exempted from error for throw, but this does not exempt from error player who drops a thrown ball to complete a double. In event of attempt to steal base prior to battery error stolen base shall be credited and battery error charged. Earned runs not to be summarized, but instead "runs responsible for" to show pitcher's record. In this charge pitcher is not accountable for fielding error, even one of his own, or passed ball, but held to account for hits, stolen bases, walks and hit by pitcher. Also pitcher removed from game held responsible for men he leaves on bases in event they score. In keeping record of men left on bases, when two are out and play Is made other than on man at bat, the team is to be charged with one left on bases for man running from plate to first.

In a spectacular finale to a re markably close extra Innings game at Recreation Park today the Seals nosed out White Sox team No. 2 for a score of 2 to' 1. In the last of the tenth inning, with the score one-all and the bases full, with two down, Joe Benz faced O'Leary. On the first ball pitched O'Leary was pinked. Colligan started for the plate, Corhan finished up at second, with O'Leary running to first. Here Fitzgerald made a mistake, in fact he pulled a "Merkle." Instead of touching second he shot off at an angle toward the clubhouse. Shouts from his comrades called his attention to the blunder and he started back for sec ond, but not before Blackburn had taken the ball to the keystone cushion. Held, however, waved his head in nega tion and the run was allowed to stand. Had the ball, instead of being carried to second, first of all been given to the pitcher Fitzgerald could have been re tired and the game would have contin ued, as the play would have been in the nature of a force. Benz' wild throw then gave the Seals their great chance. With men on second and third Schmidt grounded to Barbour, and Clarke, sent in to re lieve Hughes, popped to second. Fitz gerald walked, but Benz hit O'Leary and forced in the winning run. Score: R. H. E. R. H. E.

Pitching a six-hit game, Barrenkamp of the Oaks, administered a 4-to-l defeat to the Chicago seconds on the Oakland lot this morning. Bunched hits off the diminutive Wolfgang were responsible for the Oakland tallies. The Coasters showed great work so far as the bat tery was concerned, Alexander coming in for his share of honors. Both teams registered a tally in' the second frame, but the Oaks cinched the game in fifth, when they bunched four juicy swats. Alexander poked out a long one to center and Barrenkamp drew a pass. Quinlan fanned, but Middleton's single filled up the bags. Kaylor rapped a grounder to second, and, though the play was maoe for Alexander at the plate, the catcher scored. Gardner put Barren kamp home with a left field hit. Bar bour booted Murphy's ground ball and Middleton reached home In safety. Cook forced Kaylor at the plate and Hetling retired the side with a fly to right. R. H. E. R. H. E. Oakland ...4 10 2! Chicago 1 6 1 Batteries Barenkamp and Alexan der; Wolfgang and Sullivan. Los Angeles 5, White Sox S. LOS ANGELES, March 22. (Special.) "Doc" White was "right" today, and the result was the first win for the Tigers, 5 to 3. White worked six innings and al lowed only one hit. Alcock smashed the first ball pitched, driving it over third base for a single. This was the only blot on a great afternoon's work. When White quit the place the hum bled Sox took courage at the appear ance of Hank Chlette, who pitched the last three innings. Hank is an inoffensive-looking individual, and the Sox twitted him for their three runs. Cicotte was not hit with wild aban don, but the seven licks came at a time calculated to produce maximum scoring efficiency. Aside from White, Hosp was the leading contributor to the day's classic. Franz scored a run in the second, drove over two more with a single in the third, and fielded his position in a way to make Callahan contemplate swap ping Buck Weaver for him with "Lena" Blackburne on the side.

Los Angeles Angels annihilated the San Diego Bears at Urblta Springs today by the score of 12 to 2. The gane was- slow and failed to excite the small crowd. Crabb, Waldschmidt and Love pitched for the Angels and Hoffman caught the entire game. Bilaude, Lane and Cook officiated as the battery for the San Diego aggregation. The game was featureless,, except for the fact that Hoffman hit a home run in the sixth inning with two men on bases. In the sixth the Angels ham mered out six hits and registered half a dozen runs. The batting of George Metzger also featured, as the classy third sacker made three hits out of the same num ber of trips to. the plate, a two-bagger and -two singles being his day's work. "Slim" Love was put in in the ninth and fanned the first two men to face him, but the next man scored with a hit. The Angels will play the White Sox No. 1 Tuesday and Wednesday.

PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Santa Maria, Cal., March 22. (Special.) Dave Milligan, Beaver outfielder, has a pecu liar stand at the plate. The Cedar Rap ids recruit is a right-hand batsman, yet poses with his left foot four or five inches closer to home plate than his right. Leo Strait, formerly of Portland and Seattle, has the same habit, and McCredie doesn't like it. "It's impossible to get a fair cut at the ball from that position," said Mc Credie, of the Portland champs, today, watching Milligan in practice. "Bobby Davis came to me from Walla Walla last Fall with the same fault, and as soon as we broke him of the habit he began to hit at a .300 clip regular." A person might imagine that Milligan would be a right field hitter, standing that way. but the reverse is true. Dave poles three out of four hits into left field. He hits too quick most of the time, in fact, for seldom does he face a pitcher without fouling at least one ball over the fence back of him. Milligan Is 26 years old now, and has hit over .300 the past two seasons in the Central Association. McCredie hasn't undertaken to change his style. Mac thinks he would be even better, though, were he to bat with feet aligned parallel to the direction of the ball. PASTOR LAUDS SPORT PREACHER OPENS BILLIARD CON TEST WITH PRAYER. Vice Often In Excess of Virtue, Says Minister In Counseling Games For Boys and Girls. There is a vast difference between holding the boys and girls, too, for that matter and restraining them. The healthy youngster is impatient of restraint, but he follows eagerly enough when the right way is made pleasant for him. That point was emphasized on the first night of the great masters' bil liard tournament, recently held in Chi cago. This meet of the world's most proficient players Hoppe, Sutton, Ya mada, Demarest and Slosson was not opened in the usual fashion. Instead of some man prominent in Judicial or political affairs making a speech to inaugurate the tournament, that func tion was delegated to a clergyman. It was a marked improvement Rev. Frank J. Milnes, pastor of Faith Congregational Church, Chicago, was selected. Mr. Milnes paid a glowing tribute to the game of billiards. He maintained that, in the Interest of the young man. It should be generally ad vocated by the churches. Continuing, he said: "It has been held that vice is often an excess of virtue, or rather, virtue carried to an abnormal degree. The virtues of the Puritans quickly degen erated Into vices. Likewise, the very virtues that any church seeks to in culcate will rapidly enough degenerate into vices if their profession is carried to the excessive point that it excludes the normal appetite for healthy play." "AH work and no play not only makes Jack a dull and stupid boy, but It generally makes him a not useful boy. He degenerates into a piece of mechanisim of no service outside the closely confined sphere of his labor. Likewise, all stern virtue and repres sion and no exuberance will make Jack a narrow, bigoted man, unless the quick, hot blood of youth prompts him to jump the traces and indulge in the recreation which is really every young man's due."

Harry Krause was up with the world's champion Philadelphians for two or three years, yet Harry was the butt of practical Jokers the other night.

He was arrested by a sure enough police captain, taken to Jail and bailed out by Bill Rodgers and Erve Hlgginbotham, all within the space of a few moments. m There is a ban against "rag" dancing here, and the band has been instructed by the city dads to cease playing when ever the "Barber's" Coast shuffle makes Its appearance, on penalty of losing its monthly remittance.

The barber shops and some of the stores do not close until 10 o'clock. Naturally the dancers don't really begin to catch the spirit of terp slchore until the elite arrives.
