BATTING SLUMP OF WORRIES : Doane Chosen to Lead Off at i Opening, With Brashear in s Line for Job at First. i NO FEAR IS FELT FOR RYAN Opening Game With Wolves to Tell Who's Who on Initial Sack Some of Recruit Timber Is Showing Keal Class With Willow. BY KOSCOB FAWCEIT. "; SAN FRANCISCO, March 26. (Spe- eial.) Portland's batting order for the I opening week of the Coast season against Sacramento is causing deep ravines and crowsfeet to scroll them ; selves across the phiz of "Walter Mc- Credie, manager of the champions. i .The big pennant baron is wavering between Derrick and Doane as lead-oft '. batter and from present indications 1 Doane will land the job, despite an J nouncements some days ago to the con i trary. - So much Manager McCredie admitted last night-as he lefl his charges off i across country to Stockton for the brief s interim before the league openin Tuesday. " But more than concern over lead-off man is causing the McCredie wrinkles. V Although Mac will not admit it, there L is a vague rumor around camp that Fred Derrick's permanent Job at first - is hinging on his bat work in the bac j ramento series. 7 Brash Practices at First Captain Rodgers also ridicules the : reports, but it is a fact that Roy - Brashear has been ordered to grab a milt H11U I" ami-D . ' ; whenever opportunity avails. That can have bnt one significance. !' Derrick, without doubt, is one of the fliaooUot Initial snrlrprs in thfl Tpame ; when hitting to his .275 stride, but in ; the Spring games thus fan his hickory l wielding has been away below par. In ' seven games the bridegroom had bat- ted only .222. If he begins finding the ball against the Wolverton crew all will be well. i, Derrick is popular with the fans and is a clean, gentlemanly fellow. But re : suits alone count with the manager. Derrick will start the year at first, . however, and under the revised pro T gramme of attack the batting array for March 31 will be: ! ; Doane, rf: Davis, ss: Rodgers, 2b; - Ryan, cf; Kores. 3b; Lober, If; Derrick, lb; Fisher, c; Higginbotham, p. - n Clin.. W It h Tim - TTnskv Klmer Hanson has been the " biffing sensation in the Portland camp ' so far in the campaign. While the j San Bernardino giant has pitched in only four Spring games, his batting average is up to the stupendous height . of .625. Bill Rodgers, Gus Fisher and Walter - Doane likewise have been going at a tremendous clip. In six games the ; doughty captain has averaged .416 and ; Doane, in seven, .392. Doane was the big star against the negroes and Kores - suraiTist Ohieairo. with two screechinsr " safeties. Buddy Ryan, Bill Speas and Fred Derrick appear to be the only regulars off in their hitting. Ryan's average j in six games has been only .223, but : nobody who has seen Buddy whang ; the sphere around the lot is worried a ! bit. Had Buddy been getting the I breaks in luck on bis line drives his : average would read close to the .300 mark. In the last game against the negroes i at v atsonvllle Bud nearly tore the cover off the ball every time ho faced me pucners. xne nrsi Daseman leaned im a ni knorkAi down nnn nf his shots with his gloved hand, but Bud came back afterwards with a scream ing triple and a home run over a 350 foot stockade. Haworth and Perkins, the two kid Neither likely will beat .250 this year if kept, but Perkins, particularly, takes a nice cut and ought some day to blos som into a .300 bitter.

The surest way for organized baseball to kill the Federal League would be. to wish the "Goofs" into the outlaw ranks. Manager Devlin, of the Oaks, says his lineup for the opening game against Venice will be Quinlan, 1. f.; Zacher or Middleton, c. f.; Kaylor, r. f.: Ness, lb.; Murphy. 2b.; Cook, ss.: Hetling, 3b.; Alexander, c; Geyer or Killalay, p. Coy May Go to Discard. From the above It will be seen that Kaylor moves over from left and takes Coy's Job, while Quinlan, the St Louis recruit, goes to left. Middleton, of the Western League, may supplant Zacher. Murphy, a kid from Washing ton. I. C, is the only new infielder. The fans here do not think he will come up to Leard's standard. One sure thing, he will not have far to go to beat Bill's batting. Only four outfielders will be carried later on, so It begins to look as if .the veteran, Bert Coy, is destined for the dump heap. Who would havo had the temerity to prognosticate such a switch two years ago? ic4iu iiuenus 10 reiy upon live ex perienced pitchers Killilay, Geyer, Malarkey, Christian and Pruiett. kil lilay and Geyer are the only two who have done much so far to justify con - f idence in their condition. The Oaks do not appear on paper to be in dire need of asbestos footwear, but perhaps they will surprise fans, as did Sharpe's outfit in 1912. SEALS BREAKIXG SPRIXG CAMP Howard to Start Season With el Men, Fearing Fed Raids. ' BOYES SPRIXGS. CaV. March 26. ( Special.) With get-away day of ficially set for Friday, something like two-thirds of the Seals beat the bar rier and boarded a train today for San Francisco. Boss Del Howard gave his permis sion to such members of the club as desired to spend the night In San Fran cisco rather than to take the early morning train for baseball headquar- ters, so married men and youngsters alike took advantage of the offer. Having reported February 23 the boys have had more than four weeks on the field for training. With prac tice over in the morning and nothing but a desultory workout at that, since Howard is laid up with a cold, there was really nothing to hold the men in training camp. Howard elected to remain until morning to pick up the odds and ends, and the rest of the party will leave with him. ' He will take with him to San Fran cisco 24 men. Under ordinary circum stances he wqnld immediately cut down to 20 men including himself, but with the war clouds hovering over baseball in the shape of the Federal League's activities he, intimates that It is quite likely he will be in no haste to cut down the squad. BAKER PLAYERS REACH CAMP Karl King Will Try Oat Men Against Willamette University. Team. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem, Or., March : 26 (Special.!

OREGON CITY, Or., March 26. (Special.) Stockholders of the Clack amaa Countv Fair Association at a special meeting here Wednesday, Anril 8. Drobably will pass upon a recommendation by Secretary M. J. Lee to abolish the horse-racing pro gramme as an annual 'feature of the fair and substitute automobile and motorcycle races and other features. "For several years ro have hung up several hundred dollars in purses for horse races," said Mr. Lee, "and we have seen tame contests. It has been persistently reported that the races have been cut-and-dried affairs and that the money has been split Few of the county fairs in the Northwest have horse races that amount to any thing as entertainment features and I think we shall cut them out, and I propose to put the whole matter up to the stockholders and directors of the association. Last year we hung' up purses that totaled about J900, and we did not get our money's worth." Mr. Lee will also recommend to the directors of the association that all Clackamas County school children be admitted to the fair free during the entire session. It has been the cus tom to admit them free for one day only, but Mr. Lee says the number of paid admissions from children during the fair is a small item. COLLEGE BALL CLUB STRIKES Kentucky Boys Refuse to Play When Faculty Cuts Schedule. LEXINGTON, Ky., March 26. The baseball team of the Kentucky Uni versity struck today because of an an nouncement that the Spring schedule had been cut from 14 games to 12 games. The boys Insist that the en tire schedule be cancelled if the two games in dispute are not played. The team is a member of the South ern Intercollegiate Athletic Associa tion and has games booked with the leading colleges of the South. The athletic committee of the faculty can celled the two games because, in their opinion, the sport took up too much time from the studies. DEVLIN SAYS HE IS "TOO OLD" Oakland Manager Will Direct His Team From Bench. OAKLAND, Cal.. March 26. Arthur Devlin, manager of the Oakland Coast League team, will direct his players from the bench this season. "I'm getting too old to play any longer," he said today. "1 have been In the game for 14 years, mostly with big league teams, which kept me going at full speed. I can't stand the pace now, and I am willing to step aside and let the youngsters have their fling." ' " - - , JOHX EVERS . CHOSEX CAPTAIN Manager . of Boston National Club Xames Successor to Sweeney. MACON, Ga., March 26 John Evers today was chosen captain of the Bos ton National League team hero by Man ager Stallings, succeeding William Sweeney, who was sold to the Chicago National League club.

PARADE ROUTE IS NAMED Vaughn-Street Park All Ready for Opening Contest Jess Garrett . Puts Helena Squad Through First Day of Training. Portland Baseball Booster buttons iwere received from the maker at yes- I terday's meeting of Boosters at the Ho- HAVE FIGURED IN NEWS tel Portland. The buttons have the same design as last year, the only change being in color. These are now in the hands of a committee and base ball fans soon will be able to buy them at down-town cigar stores. Clubs of the city have become inter ested in obtaining rights to the re served section which the Boosters will occupy and the committee yesterday acknowledged an order for 400 from the Portland Ad Club. - Other clubs may obtain buttons and the privileges that go with the emblem by writing to L. E. Warford, of the Portland Ad Club. The Harriman Club will be out in a body but it will sit in a special section and not in part of the 2000 seats re served for the Boosters. The Harriman Club also will be a big factor in the parade. The club is out for a record in noise and those along the street will not need any step ladder to know when the Harriman Club goes by. The route of the parade also was .an nounced by W. T. Pangle, chairman of the parade committee. Automobiles of loyal fans will assemble at Twelfth and Morrison street The parade will go east on Morrison to Fourth, north on Fourth to Pine, west on Pine to Sixth, south on Sixth to Alder and west on Alder to Fourteenth, where it disbands. The Portland Railway, Light & Powei Company will have some cars waiting at Fourteenth and Burnside streets and those who nave not automobiles will be able to get to the park without de lay. One of the features of the auto pa rade will be the boys' fife and drum corps of the Spanish-American War Veterans. ' The Vaughn-street park is ready for the opening game. - The sod is in splen did condition and the drainage system keeps it solid, even on damp days. Circus seats have been arranged in front of the grandstand and W. W, McCredie declares there will be no trouble in handling a crowd of 20,000, Jess Garrett and his Helena Club, of the Union Association, occupied the Vaughn-street park yesterday in the opening drill of the training season. If numbers have pny thing to do with the showing of the team, Garrett will have no trouble in walking away with the Union Association flag. The field looked like a May . day playground party. - - - - Crltten'dori." the ex-Taconia catcher, was on hand for the workout and looked good. He is fast and has a smart way of rapping the pellet occa sionally which is expected to break up the tight places. Bill Gleason, the ex-Oaklander and Portland semi-pro, looks a fit subject for a berth high up In the Union ranks. Garrett likes the looks of Gleason. Freddy Manning, the man from the Western Canada League, Is another who might be expected to help Helenas standing. Manning is a left-hander and from a pre-season inspection looks like a trouble-maker for- other teams of the plains. Manager Garrett himself seems to have lost nothing in his leave of ab sence from the game. The ex-Port-lander will be valuable both as player and manager. He is liked by the play ers and his experiences as coach of the Oregon Aggies gives him the "dope" on handling the men of his club to get best results. Garrett Is making no pre dictions but he retired from the field last night well pleased with the first day's workout Wlnterbotham. the local mound star. signed by Garrett, Is hanging onto his Job. but will be with the team on Satur day. , Gibson, another catcher, will be in camp in a day or two. Lussi, Qutgley and Amesby will be here today or tomorrow. Bogart and Sigsby were the only intielders on hand. " Steppe,- the outflelding sensation who gained fame in the lower Columbia, was also on hand. "Doc" Ackerman will look after the sore .arms for the training week, but does not expect any troublesome kinks until Monday or Tuesday, as the boys have Instructions to take things easy. "Chubby" Arthur, a twirler who some years ago burned up the Interscholastlc League with his demonstrations, was out on the fit id. He is not under con tract but if he shows old-time form he will have no trouble winning a Job. The Helena Club may play the Ore gon Aggies several games at Corvallls. Dr. B. J. Stewart was in town yes terday and until a late hour last night seeking the manager of the Helena Club. The Oregon Aggies have been prac ticing three weeks, and Dr. Stewart thinks the time is ripe for games with stronger teams. He believes that the Helena Club would be an ideal one to give his collegians the desired resist ance. . i Garrett has two games scheduled for this week, the Mikado Club on Sunday, OF 1" vvvyv. .4y,v, w ? and Randall's All-Stars on Saturday. Next week, so far, is vacant and if Jess thinks the team can be bo mus tered as to take a two-day trip, the col lege and the Union Association teams nndoubtedly will get together. SOPHOMORE GIRLS WIX TITLE Freshmen Lose, 14 to 10, for Class Championship of Season. In the final game of basketball at Reed College yesterday the Sophomore girls, In a brilliant and exciting con test, defeated the freshmen- for the season championship by the score of 14 to 10. The-teams were tied for first place and the interest In the last game was keen. The excellent guarding of Adele Brault probably saved the game for the sophomores. Miss Williams for the sophomores, annexed ten points on four field goals and two baskets from the foul line. The lineup: Sophomores Misses Williams and Parker, forwards; Kelly and Walton, centers; Brault and Coffin, guards. Freshmen Misses Lacy and Eliot, for wards; Elliott and Roper, ; centers; Morgan and Nelson, guards. Substi tutes, Miss Saunders for Miss Elliott.

OAKLAND DEFEATS GOOFS Jack Killilay Goes Full Route and Wins Because of Poor Fielding by Opponents Los Angeles Fans See Frosty Game. LOS ANGELES, March 26. (Special.) Considerable horror was crowded into two hours today when the White Sox crumped the Tigers, 7 to 2. in a game that outsiders should consider them selves lucky to have escaped. Pitchers loitered on the job, as did everybody else, while icicles formed on the noses of the few spectators who are known to hav6 paid admission. Tn each inning the first man up for Ven'ce reached first base, and gener ally two or three others. Hiram Jasper, who heaved the bulk of the game for Callahan, had an an noying and time-consuming habit of walking a couple of men and then fan ning two or three. Johnson first essayed to pitch for the Sox, but triples by Meloan and Bliss and a few lesser calamities convinced Callahan it wasn't E ram us' day to es say, and he was forcibly removed at the end of the second inning. Decanntere and Klepf er, their arms as cold as a couple of legs of mutton, were hit only in spots, but there were enough of these spots to speckle the score board with many Chicago runs. It was a weird affair all around. The score: R. H. E. R. H 13. White Sox. 7 10 2Venice 2 11 3 Batteries Johnson, Jasper and Slight, Schalk, Daly; Decanniere, Klepfer and Bliss, Elliott OAKLAND, Cal., March 26 (Spe cial.) Jack Killilay achieved the dis tinction today of being the first of the Oakland pitchers to go the full route. He stepped off the nine innings against the Sox Goofs and at the finish had the better of a 6-to-3 score. Jack uncorked an assortment of benders that bid fair to advance him as the hurler to twirl the opening game against, the Angels on Tuesday. . To be honest, however, 1 was more the inefficiency of the Goofs than the ability of the Oaks that brought about the happy result The misfit aggrega tion traveling in Chicago uniforms piled ' up six whole-sized errors and pu'led stunts that would put a- busher to shame. There were assorted muffs, overthrows and, in fact, everything that is not staged in big league circles. Joe Benz was In to condition to give an exhibition of around-the-world pitching. He was nicked for 11 wal lops and made run-getting easy with his support full of holes.
