I BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Like King Canute, W. W. McCredie
lias found that wet grounds will spoil
the beet-laid plans of mice and men.
Portland fans were scheduled to ob
tain their first squint at the local Coast
League club yesterday, versus Oakland,
and the occasion was marked in red
on the calendar. But, the red washed
out In the W. C. T.
V. weather, there
was no bail game,
no parade, no en
thusiasm nothing
but a bush league
trickle that ordi
narily wouldn't get
more than one
agate line on the
market page.
It was sufficient-
ly dampening, however,
plans of 20,000 fans, i
And yet, wnile the little globules
were globbing all over the 20.000 at
tendance and the box office, "Judge"
McCredie was sitting up in his Teon
fcuilding boudoir, with Nephew Walter,
calmly prophesizing for today.
"Barometer is still volplaning,"
mused the judicial larynx. "But I
think it will clear up by tomorrow. If
so, all the opening-day plans will go
through as originally carded. By noon
we will make a decision, and if there
Is to be a game the flag on The Ore
gonian 'tower will be hoisted sharp at
13 o'clock."
So, keep your optics focused on The
Oregonian tower at high noon today.
Wednesday is to be ladies' day here ail
season but the free offer doesn't go
this afternoon. Equal suffrage is the
order at the box office.
"Who do you expect to pitch tomor
row?" was fired at the-respective man
agers, Walt McCredie and Arthur Dev
lin. Mac's answer was "Higginbotham
Wednesday, Krause Thursday, Brown,
Friday and West Saturday."
Devlin was not so sure, but opined
it would be Ramey, his Juvenile south
paw, for the opener. Ramey, a Los
'Angeles kid, who formerly pitched for
the Hill Military Academy in Portland
two years tack, is the only portsider
on the Oak squad. Devlin thinks Port
land will be weak against left-handers,
owing to the preponderance of
left-handed batters, hence his prefer
ence for youth as against experience.
Both teams crossed the Oregon
boundaries early in the morning. Im
mediately upon arrival in the city the
Beavers scattered like chaff to their
respective homes and lodging-houses.
The Commuters, being on the boss' ex
pense list away
lrora home, quar
, tered at the Mult
nomah Hotel.
Devlin and Vice
President Cook
brought north
quite an assort
ment of new tal
ent, but all of
them snuggle up
to a menu card like
big leaguers. Shum
of zhem don t like
our climate, b"ut zhey will haf more
ehlngs to shink of later in zh' week.

Walter McCredie, Portland manager,
appeared to be more concerned about
the weather than over the alleged
weakness in his pitching corps.

like to get a good one like Bill James."

but the team made not less than 10

"Everybody has misjudged San

Portland has much the stronger team
and am not a bit disappointed. My
kid pitchers have plenty of. stuff on
the ball, but they were all about as
jrarrulous as jackrabblts when sent out
on the mound. It will take a little
time to give them confidence. If my
four reliables hold out in the mean
time we will be all right."
Mac says that Roy Brown will surely
make good. He is extremely sweet on
the Cedar Rapids draft. Mac has given
tip all hopes of Larry Pape reporting
before mid-Summer, but intends to
romplete the second payment to Buf
falo so as to hold him.
Aside from a possible switch in
catchers, Portland will line up today
exactly as announced for Tuesday.
Haworth was his original backstop-
ping choice. Yesterday, however.
Frank Schmieder reported CJus Fisher's

THE Washington Star thinks the de

blessing In disguise In that lt has
forced Griffith to develop some of his

to persuade Walter Johnson to jump so
that he could put on even more steam.
Abolition of horse racing and the
substitution of motorcycle and auto
mobile speeding is the unusual recom
mendation of M. J. Lee. secretary or
the Clackamas County Fair, at Canby.
This from the Horse Review: "Amen.
If Mr. Lee's idea of horse racing Is the
cheap, miserable farce that has been
characteristic of Canby, we are better
off without it. The autos and motor
cycles will make another first-class
funeral in the fair world."
Whaddyemean. Mr. Lee?

Packey McFarland hates himself. In

' "He's s great man. is Mike, a like
able fellow personally, very much on

earnestness, he is one of the greatest
modern boxers. But, he can't whip me."
All of which makes Packey a bird.
