in I .os Angeles Portland
Opening to Be April 13.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Walter McCredie. manager of the five
times champion Portland baseball club,
left yesterday for San Francisco and
the sporting spotlight will now shift
Its bleary eye to tne soumwa.ru.
Mack's exit marks the real beginning
of the Spring training preliminaries.
He expects to remain in San Francisco
a few days to complete final arrange
nnt for his Spring games with Chi-
,iro and then he will bear away to
Fresno and to Los Angeles.
-1 have issued a call to all my men
to assemble at Fresno March 3." was
the Portland manager's parting in
junction as he boarded the Shasta
IJmlted at 3:50 P. M. "Twenty-six or
27 players will comprise the squad, but
I expect to prune this to 24 by the
middle of March."
Higk Place Expected.
"What's your prediction for 1915?"
Mack waa asked.
-We'll be up near the top again,
lie replied. "Of course It isn't reasoiv
able to expect us to guarantee pen
nants every year still, my squad looks
fine. Some aay I lack hitting strength
but wait and see. Derrick never hit
Jn his life until he came here, nor did
Bancroft. Rodgers, or Lober.
"I have a lot of young fellows in
my club who are Just about ripe. I
think Stump will strike his stride with
me Just as did Pitcher Bill James.
Murphy and Reed and Naughton all are
due to spurt to the fore this season.
Kircher is another young fellow, who
is due to hit about .290. If I get
Covington from St. Louis I think Port
land will be well protected at first
'ptfteen games w-lll constitute the
Portland Spring training series the
bulkiest schedule Manager McCredie
has ever been able to muster.
The first games will be played March
S and 7. only three days after the
first batch of ball stars strike camp.
The completed schedule follows:
March 6-7 St. Mary's College at
Fresno.
March 13-14 Indianapolis of Ameri
can Association at Fresno.
March 15-16-17 Chicago Americans
at Fresno, Hanford and perhaps
Bakersfield or Vlsalla.
March 21-28 Chicago Colored Giants
at Fresno and surrounding cities.
Port lead to Open at Lo Angeles.
The Pacific Coast season opens March
SO with Portland at Los Angeles and
Salt Lake booked up for the second
scries- Baseball will be officially
ushered into Portland on April 13 with
Happy Hogan's Venice team as the
Invading attraction.
The Portland roster for 1915 reads
as follows:
Catchers. Fisher, Murray and Widner,
a Los Angeles semi-professional; pitch
ers. Higginbotham. Krause, Marttnoni,
Lush, Rieger, Evans, Coveleskie, Leon
ard. Callahan. Barnes and Bishop: in
flelders. Derrick. Davis, Coltrln, Stump,
Naughton. Murphy, Reed and Hall; out
fielders. Speas, Doane, Lober and Kirch
er. Akana, the Hawaiian, dropped un
der Mack's hatchet yesterday.
If Derrick is traded to St. Lou 1 3 Port
land likely will get First Baseman
Covington, of Birmingham, and Out
fielder Sloan, of Nashville. Sloan hit
an even .300 last year in the Southern
League.
Kircher is being figured upon for one
of the cleanup batsmen. McCredie says
Atlanta used him in the fourth notcn
most of last year although his batting
was only .277.
AMATEUR WITH HOCKEY TEAM
Shore to Make Professional Debut at
Victoria Tonight.
Shore, an amateur hockeyist, will
Tnake his professional debut with the
Portland Uncle Sams at Victoria to
night In the Pacific Coast League
hockey race. Shore is a British Co
lumbia product, but played with the
Harrlman Club in the Portland Ama
teur League.
"He Is a big fellow and will be used
at one of the defense positions," said
Manager Muldoon last night as he bun
dled his athletes abroad a rattler for
the north. "Harris will not be able
to compete against Victoria because of
his bad shoulder.
"Poulln's absence from the Victoria
lineup, however, equalizes this weak
ness and I expect to beat Victoria by
a comfortable margin.
"We have always whipped Vancou
ver at home, so I think we have a fair
chance of taking both games on Friday
and Saturday. If we win two we will
be tied again for the championship."
Tobin will go up to the forward line
in Harris' niche.
Mickey, Mackay. of Vancouver, leads
the league in goals with 24 In 14
games. Oatman, of Portland. 1 has
scored IS in IS games and Cyclone

Johnson-Willard Bout Cannot Be
Held March 5, Curley Announces,
as Even if Black Is on Time
He Will Lack Condition.
EL PASO. Feb. 22. Virtual postpone
ment of the Jack Johnson-Jesse Wil
lard boxing bout was admitted late to
day by Jack Curley, the promoter. It
was believed that Johnson could not
arrive at Juarez. Mexico, on the border
here, from Havana by way of any Mex
ican seaport by March 6.
Curley.. however, declared that he De
lieved that the American negro would
arrive safely at Juarez within a short
time after the original date, but he did
not make known how he would cross
through the east coast ports held by
Carranza to the Villa lines.
The Carranza officials have an
nounced their intention of challenging
Johnson's entry on the ground that he
is a fugitive from Justice in the United
States. It was learned, too, that Amer
ican border officials were on the look
out should he attempt to enter Mexico
through the United States because of
the Indictment against him at Chicago.
Johnson cabled from Cuba today to
Curley that if it were considered Im
possible to hold the fight in Juarez that
the bout could be held at Havana, and
that Willard could cross to the Cuban
capital within a few days. Curley, how
ever, declared that he would not con
sent to this, since all matters had been
arranged at Juarez. It was pointed out,
too, that a postponement would make
no difference to the spectators, few of
whom have started for the border.
Curley declared again today that no
other boxer would be substituted for
Johnson. He said that Johnson would
need at least a week's training at
Juarez before the fight. This week,
with the time required for Johnson's
trip through Mexico, even should he
encounter no great difficulty, would
make it Impossible for him to fight on
March 6. Willard is continuing his
dallv training at his camp on this side
of the boundary.
JOHXSOX DROPS FROM VIEW
Hotels in Havana Refuse to Accept
Pugilist as Lodger.
HAVANA, Feb. 22. The unexpected
appearance in Havana early today of
Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight
pugilist, who Is on his way to Mexico
to fight Jess Willard In defense of the
world's heavyweight pugilistic cham
pionship, was followed this afternoon
by his equally unexpected disappear
ance from public view.
Tonight nobody except members of
his party who arrived here with John
son, and a few friends knew his where
abouts. None of these people would
disclose his place of abode.
When Johnson and his party, con
sisting of his wife, brother, manager,
sparring partner and servants, with a
great quantity of baggage, arrived
from Cienfuegos, which port was
reached last night on board a schoon
er from Barbadoes they drove to a
prominent hotel and registered, but a
few minutes later were requested to
vacate their apartment. After this, it
Is said, the pugilist endeavored to se
cure lodgings at all the principal ho
tels, but was unsuccessful. Finally,
however, according to the statement of
friends, the party found refuge In a
private house, the location of whjch
was not made known.
Johnson said this morning that he
intended to proceed immediately to
Tamplco and thence as rapidly as pos
sible to Juarez, where the fight with
Willard is to take place. He expressed
confidence that he wou-Id win and did
not seem to attach much importance
to the fact that he would have only
a short time to train for the encounter.
When informed of the difficulties he
probably would meet in traveling in
Mexico Johnson cabled General Car
ranza asking him if he would be per
mitted to land in Mexico and proceed
to Juarez. No reply had been received
to this message tonight.
Despite the fact, however, passage
to Vera Cruz on board the Ward liner
Morro Castle, which, was due to sail
this afternoon, was secured for John
son. The agents of the line, learning
that General Carranza had closed the
port of Progreso, to which much of the
freight on the Morro Castle was con
signed, postponed her sailing. Johnson,
It is said, hopes to take the next steam
er to Vera Cruz, and even has de
clared that he will charter a vessel and
sail direct to Tamptcq if he can get to
Mexico In no other way. He hopes to
get away from Havana by Saturday at
the latest.
Rumors were rife in Havana today
that the United States Government
would demand the extradition of John
son as a fugitive from justice In Chi
cago, but the American Legation has
received 'no instructions on this point.
CHESS CHAMPION HERE
MARSHAL! TO TRY FOR WORLD'S
RECORD IN PLAY TONIGHT.

67 simultaneous games prior to Capa
blanca's remarkable performance.
"I finished with a better score, how
ever," said Champion Marshall in his
room at the Multnomah Hotel, as he
whisked a cloud of Seattle dust off his
slim physique. "Capablanca lost five
games and drew 12, while I lost none
and had 11 draws."
Every effort is being made by the
Portland Chess and Checker Club to
place at least 66 boards against the
master. One entry will be J. Frederick
