Jesse James is dead; long live Bill Speas. Speas didn't absorb all the glory in Portland's 2-1 defeat of San Francisco yesterday, but be ended the game with a remarkable catch that not only saved the game but also preserved a half portion of the joy for Roy Brashear. Brash, doing- a pinch hit stunt with the bases full, drove across both of Portland's runs In the seventh inning, and it would have been a shame had this spectacular performance gone for naught. But nix on the naught; nothing do ing! Speas was there with his jumping muscles all primed, and, when Del Howard pasted out a terrific slam into deep center field, ninth, inning and two on get that, two on and two out? Speas simply tore across the sward like the young dray he is, and leaped into the air as if he were McCutcheon doing his latest Maxixe. Ball's Wild Flight Stopped. Twenty-five hundred frantic and wild-eyed women and straw hat bugs gulped at lumps in their swallowing apparatus for one brief second. But for only one, for when it was observed that Speas had snatched the ball out of the asmosphere pandemonium broke loose and the gathering took on the aspects of a Brule Indian ghost dance. If you don't believe Speas can jump the kangaroo; if you doubt his ability to play leapfrog with the giraffes in Al i. Barnes' happy menagerie, ask Del Howard. Del's drive also a pinch hit ordinarily would have gone for two bases in any man's land. But yesterday was straw hat day, moving day and also Dresden china and cluny lace day, so far as delicate situa tions went, at McCredie manor. And, also, it was Bill Speas' day to play right Held in place of Doane. Bill is a right hand batter and was chosen pri marily because "Lefty" Leifield was on the mound for the Seals yesterday. And yet,- If there Is anything at all In this "inside baseball" chatter we read so often in the magazines, Walt McCredie ought to be praised a few boosts for his stragetic acumen. Hig was nicked for 10 hits as against seven off the San Francisco six-cylinder, 60-horsepower southpaw. And now just a word as to that spinach-spangled proverb: "Age can not wither nor custom stale," meaning, of course, Brashear's batting eye, Sharp t'rark Pierces Air. Leifleld was booming along great guns up to the seventh inning, so nat urally there was no wild-eyed trooping of Beavers home. In fact, the score was then 1-0 in the Seals' favor. Only three hits had been garnered off the cx-Pi rate. And then the clear, dominant note of a base hit by Kores rose above the din of the noisy crowd. Mr. Biff Schaller scrambled around pretty lively out in left field recovering it. And he kept on scrambling, for Lober and Davis leaped to the assault with singles to the same vulnerable spot. -. Such was the crisis, bases full and one out, when McCredie benched Fisher and sent out to do murder that pulchri tudinous pinch swatsmith, Brashear, Brash watched one groove ball wiggle its ears and chortle at him as it passed by. and then he sighted the second and drove it mightly down the third base line. Two runs crossed on the hit. Rodgers' Throw Perfect. Fitzgerald opened the ninth for the Seals with a single to center. He w-as sacrificed down and sailed to third on Schaller's third hit of the day. A mo ment later Rodgers cut him down at '. the plate with a beautiful peg. Del - Howard thereupon took up a bludgeon, and what he did and what Speas did need no repeating.

At Spokane Spokane 4 Seattle 1. xAt Vancouver Vancouver 8, Victoria 4. TACOMA, Wash., May 1, (Special.) "Butch" Belford was a member of the Tiger squad during the training sea son, but was released not long ago. The other day Nick Williams picked nim up, signed him and put a uniform on, his back-and today sicked him on the Tigers. The result was a 7-to-l victory in favor of the Colts. It was all Belford so far as the Tigers were concerned, but the Colts demonstrated on their own account just what a series of pinch hits, will do when hits are scarce. During the nine sessions, the visitors got seven btngles and all but one were con vertable. The Tigers made five, four of them wasted efforts. The Colts were entitled to win for 99 reasons and there was hardly a time when the game was in doubt after the fourth inning. The support accorded the three Taco ma pitchers was about as tight as im ported Swiss cheese and this con tributed greatly towards their down fall. Belford Alwaya In Control. The Colts did their hitting when there were men upon the bags, but Belford had the Tigers spellbound when -any of them appeared on the paths. Several times the locals got runners within striking distance of the plate, but Belford was always in com mand and was not to be denied. "Butch" did not appear to "have" much besides the goats of the Tigers, but he had their Angoras bound and gagged if their exhibition in today's contest can be taken as evidence. Bel ford used his usual fast dropping curved ball, and It produced results which were highly gratifying to Nick Williams. Speedy base Tunning scored, the first run of the game for the Colts. Coltrin got on through a pass and stole second. Guigni's scratch hit put him on third. A double steal was worked, and in the excitement Guigni went to third. Yohe's error and a double by Melchior was good for a run in the third. Errors by Neighbors and McMullin aided and abetted by a. hit by the pinch variety by Netzel ' scored two more in the fourth. Coleman Hits Triple. Again in the eighth two more Colts crossed the plate, a base on balls to Williams, a double by Gulgnl and a triple by Coleman being the modus operandi. The final counter for the visitors came in the ninth, when a walk to Beams, the theft of second and a single by Milligan allowed him to make the circuit. The one run annexed by the Tigers came in the eighth, Abbott leading off with a single, advancing to third on Neighbors' hit and ' scoring on West's .out.

JTEW GKOUITDiS WILL BK TJSED First Slioot to Be Hold at Jcune Sta tion Tomorrow. The first shoot on the new grounds of the .Portland Gun Club will take place tomorrow, beginning at 10:30 and last ing . all day. These grounds are at Jenne Station and give the Portland followers of trap shooting one of the most beautiful homes in the United States. , ' The tract is 20 acres and situated on land ideally suitable to trap shooting. The clubhouse is not finished, but a temporary camp will accommodate the shooters until the new house is com pleted. This will not be before Fall. The Kenton grounds seemed to lose their interest as soon as the gun club men acquired the tract of their own and this was one of the reasons for making the change so quickly. The traps have been nut over. The regular Sunday matches and practice shooting will make up the programme. YANKEES SEEK PORTLAND BOY CI 1 a nee Wants IVeenian Fitzgerald, Now at Notre Dame "U." Freeman Fitzgerald, former Colum b!a preparatory star, may Join the Portland colony in the major leagues. Fitzgerald is now pitching for Notre Dame University and has met with such success that the New York Tanks have offered him a fat contract. "I may accept," Fitzgerald writes a former pal, John Dwyer. "But, it so. not until after the school year." Fitzgerald recently set Michigan down with four hits and won, 3 to 1. Jimmy Richardson signed him up two or three years ago for Joe Cohn, of Spokane, but -he refused to report and Jimmy tore up the parchment- Fitz once fanned 19 Vancouver high lads in one game. - - - - BIER STILL CLIMBING WALLA WALLA TASTES OF 13 TO 19 DEFEAT BEFORE: CROWD.

EXPLAINED BY CHAMPION. Fighter Says He Paid ex-Maaager ll,0OO In Eight Months and Telia f Trainer's Vain Demist, SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. May 1. (Spe cial.) VTillie Ritchie, has broken silence regarding his financial relations with Harry Foley and has given out a statement of money paid. Billy Nolan while that individual was in the man agerial chair. Billy Nolan was made manager of Ritchie in the Fall of 1912. and worked on a basis of 2d per cent. He con tinued with Ritchie for practically eight months and during that time was paid nearly S11.000 in commissions. "After the Nolan episode, explains Ritchie. "I asked Foley to train me for the Rivers match. He agreed to do the work for J-'oO, but after the match I gave him a check for S500. He thanked me for the money and said It was unexpected. Thereafter -we never had an understanding. "On our way back to San Francisco from the Wolgast bout Foley said he had something coming. "I answered I thought if I paid him a salary and bis expenses that would be enough. Foley said that he didn't consider it enough and when I offered him S200 a month as a straight salary, with the understanding that I was to pay all expenses, he wouldn't consider it. He wanted 16 per cent. I agreed, but at that time I made up my mind to have a change as soon after the bout as possible. Irinces3 lorrIe Wins Stake. NEWMARKET, England. May 1.
