FRESNO. Cal., March 18. (Special.)
One inning of baseball was played
here tndav bv the Portland Beavers
and the Chinese University; the remain
ing seven and one-half Innings were
given over to the scoring of runs
and the making or z mis oy xne oe
vexs. When the frame had been con
cluded the score stood 19 to 4 and four
pitchers had been used, two by the cnt
neae and two by McCredle.
The Chinese were in anything but
form yesterday afternoon, as the score
indicates. Portland hit the ball at all
times for doubles, singles and triples.
Seven of the regulars got three hits
each and the rest of them took at least
one.
By personal request Lush pitched the
first few innings against the Chinese.
tvanB was then warmed up and went
into the box. This is Lush's first ap
pearance since the opening of the
training season.
The first inning was fair and the
game would have been acceptable had
play continued as it started. The Chi
nese secured one run in the opening
inning, when Portland cameback with
one run in its half. In the second in
ning 13 men batted, scoring a total of
sine runs.
Announcement was made today that
young Bishop, who came to the Bea
vers from Cleveland, would be farmed
out to the Spokane Northwestern
League club. The score:

LOS ANGELES. Cat, March 18.
fSpecial. The Los Angeles Coast
Leaguers defeated the Chicago Ameri
can League No. 2 team at Washington
Park here today.
The Angels took unfair advantage of
Cieotte by hitting him rather hard in
the four frames he worked and practi
cally won the game right there, but if
they were unfair to Cieotte they were
pirates against Faber. Cieotte had
only worked four innings prior to to
day's game, but with Faber it was dif
ferent. All told, Los Angeles got 18
hits, three triples and a double being
mixed in, off the pair. The final score
was. Los Angeles 16, White Sox 2.
In the fifth the Angels stung Faber
for five hits, three In the sixth and two
in each, of the remaining frames and
scored in every inning of the game
Jack Ryan went five innings and got
away with four hits against him, one a
double by Cieotte. Love shot over the
slants in the last four and did a pretty
good job of it.
The field work of the Angels was
fast and perfect, not the semblance of
a bobble looming up. Meusel and Metz
ger pulled off a neat double play in
the eighth from left to third which
choked off a rally. McMullen had the
honors with the bat. getting four hits
in five times up. Score:

White Sox Regulars De-feat Chris
tians Team, 5 to 0, Easily.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 18. (Spe
cial.) The Oaks' disappointing pre
season record was not improved any
this afternoon across the bay by the
initial appearance of the White Sox
team No. 1 here. Another shut-out,
with the score 5 to 0. was registered
against them, making the third straight
row of goose eggs that the Chicago
1'layers have dealt out. "Death Valley
Jim" Scott worked against them for the
full nine innings, but even so the Oaks
did nothing particularly brilliant.
The trouble with the Oaks was their
old complaint weak hitting. Only five
hits were gathered off Scott and none
of these came in the pinch.
On the defensive Lindsay, Manda and
Middleton played spectacular ball. In
the pitching line, however. Lefty Brom
ley was pounded quite consistently dur
ing his four-inning stay on the mound,
and he displayed a weakness in fielding
bunts.
A. J. Leclaire, a former American As
sociation pitcher, who was forced in re
tirement because of arm trouble
stepped the last fire innings in fairly
good style. The newcomer can be
tabbed along with Boyd as a possible
addition to the Oalrs already strong
pitching staff.

St. Mary's College Swamped in Game
Marked by Four Home Runs.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 18. (Spe
cial. Though the Seals still further
fattened batting averages today, as
they had done previously against the
White Sox Goofs, their 14-to-5 defeat
of St. Mary's at Recreation Park was
not a walkover.
The college twirlers, Collins and
Brandon, met with reverses and the
fielding wasn't much to speak of. but
for all that, when the St. Marys lads
leaned up against the pil it traveled
some.
Spider Baum. after feeding the col
lege boys three hitless innings, found
himself in difficulty in not only the
fourth, but the fifth inning as well, six
hits helping the enemy to four runs.
Mickey Shader twirled for four in
nings, in the course of which he al
lowed four hits and one run. Three Of
the hits off Mickey were bunched, al
though an error helped considerably in
the run gathering.
The Seals chiefly distinguished them
selves by their long-distance swatting.

It's too bad Portland cannot have two

by the All-Stars and the Vancouver Mil

year in the Portland Ice Hippodrome
Wednesday night .between these two or
ganizations was one long to be remem

pions defeated the All-Stars 4 to 3.
The winning point came four minutes
before the end. When the first period
ended the count stood 2 to 0 in favor of
the visitors and the second closed with
them still in the lead, 3 to 2.
Sensations upon sensations were
sprung and the skating was the fastest
ever seen locally. Reckless speeding
and body checking made it impossible
for the spectators to get settled in their
seats. Mike Mitchell, the Portland
Uncle Sam's goaltender playing with
the All-Stars, stopped many difficult
shots and the winning point shot by
Nighbor was a complete surprise to him.
Lester Patrick was checked so hard
by his brother Frank that he smashed

1916 OLYMPIAD IS BERLIX'S
International Committee President
Says Transfer Is Impossible.
PARIS, March IS. Baron Pierre de
Coubertin, president of the Interna-V
tional Olympic Committee, now in
Lausanne, Switzerland, has written a
letter to the Associated Press con
cerning the Olympiad of 1916, in which
he says:
"I wish to repeat -what I have al
ready said, that the international com
mittee has no right to withdraw the
celebration of the' Olympic games from
the country to which this celebration
has been given, without consulting that
country. The sixth Olympic games re
main and will remain credited to Berlin,
but it is possible that they will not
be held. In olden times it happened
that it was not possible to celebrate
the games, but they did not . for this
reason cease to exist.
"I consider all that is said and writ
ten on this subject now to be useless;
the international committee will not
allow its hand to be forced."

WHITE FELLS ROBIDEAU
Seconds Throw Up Sponge When
Hard Blow Sends Philadelphian
to Floor Aliearn Wins De
cision Over Clahby.
PHILADELPHIA, March 18. One of
the greatest fistic carnivals ever staged
in this country took place last night.
Five six-round bouts of more than ordi
nary interest were held bn managers of
two rival clubs, at one of. which were
brought together Johnny Kilbane, the
featherweight champion, and KKT Will
iams, the bantamweight titleholder. Kil
bane, who had trained down to 122
pounds, the required weight for the
bout. . outfought the bantamweight all
the way. , -
At the other club the chief attractions
were Charlie White, the Chicago light
weight, and Sam Robideau, of this city;
Young Ahern, middleweight champion
of England, and Jimmy Clabby, of Ham
mond, Ind., aspirant for that title.
Kilbane and Williams feinted and
sparred for an opening in the first
two rounds, during which few blows
were struck. Williams gave ground
continually and both rounds were a
succession of clinches in which the
bantamweight title-holder made in
effectual leads for the body. Kilblane
eluded most of Williams' leads and to
wards " the end of the second round
rocked Williams' head with three right
uppercuts in rapid succession. .
KilbanCa Lead Big.
Both men mixed it up in the third
round, which ended with Williams
making a rally ' after Kilbane had
jabbed him with lefts to the face.'
Kilbane' had all the better of the
fourth round, driving Williams to all
corners of the ring and forcing the
bantam champion to resort to frequent
clinches.
Williams missed a hard left for the
face in the opening of the fifteenth
round and Kilbane lead straight lefts
to Williams' head, the latter replying
with right and left swings to Kil
bane's body. The round ended with
both men fighting furiously in the
center of the ring. .
At the opening1 of tho final round
both boxers rushed, to a clinch. Kil
bane held Williams off and then sent
hard rights and lefts to the bantam's
face.
Williams was forced to the ropes but
came back strong; A few seconds be
fore the bell Kilbane landed a hard
right and left to the jaw, which jarred
Willjams considerably. .
' White Stops Robldeaa.
Charley White, the Chicago light
weight, stopped Sam Robideau of Phila
delphia, in the first round of their
scheduled six-round bout. After Robi
deau had received a terrific uppercut
on the point of the jaw and had been
knocked down three times for the
count of nine, the Philadelphian's sec
onds, fearing he was in a helpless con
dition, stopped the fight.
It was a fast fight up to the time it
was stopped. Robideau was setting the
pace and had White apparently guess
ing how to avoid a stiff left jab. They
clinched, and at the break White kept
his left arm around Robideau's neck
and struck him a terrific blow with his
right, which landed on the point of Robi
deau s jaw. He was down for the count
of nine and got up only to be sent down
twice more. Here his seconds jumped
into the ring and stopped the fight.
Ahcarn Ontflfrhta Clabby.
Young Aheam, middleweight cham
pion of England, won the popular de
cision over Jimmy Clabby, of Hammond,
Ind., aspirant for the title in that class,
in their six-round bout. With the ex
ception of the first round, in which
Clabby opened a gash over Ahearn's
eye, the English champion excelled.
Ahearn was rather slow getting
started, as though he was not sure of
himself, and Clabby, by his fast work
was entitled to the opening round.
After this the British champion went
better and at times made his opponent
miss badly. Both on the offensive and
defensive Ahearn showed the best form,
and his jabs while in the clinches ap
parently bothered Clabby much.
Gossip From Fresno.
PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Fresno.
Cal., March 18. (Special.) Indian
apolis in its two days' stay here re
cently proved beyond a reasonable
doubt that the American Association is
a better baseball organization than the
Pacific Coast League. At least this is
the consensus of opinion among local
fans. The brand of ball put up by the
club was not what could be called first
class, but this is due to the fact that
the two games here were just practice
rehearsals.
Considering all angles, the Indianapo
lis club played better ball than the
Beavers, as. is attested by the two victo
ries on succeeding days. Those follow
ers of the Beavers declare that it was
not a fair test, as the Portlanders were
not in condition. It was Just as fair for
one as the other, however, as both clubs
had been in training for nine days prior
to their meeting at the local park.
Portland had an excellent chance for
the first game but lost the bacon. Erve
Higginbotham declared that he was in
condition and consequently McCredie
decided to let him go the full route.
McCredie is not to be blamed entirely
for this. Higginbotham has a knack
of getting into condition - about two
weeks earlier than the rest of the ball
players and never is afflicted with a
sore arm. Higg said he was in condi
tion and McCredie thought it was fair
enough. The sad story of Erve's weak
ness in the eighth inning already has
been told. After it was all over, he de
clared that he had misjudged his phys
ical condition. Now he is working
harder than ever to get back in shape.
The second contest was in some de
grees like the first. A good pitcher
out of form was started and then with
drawn. McCredie then fell back on his
bushers and as a result, the Indians
pounded the pellet to almost every cor
ner of the ball park.
Considered on a whole, the Indians
were in much better shape than the
Beavers. This is due; no doubt, to the
fact that they had met several Coast
laiuc teams before colliding with
Portland. Their pitchers worked better.
although Hendricks had no conscience
in yanking the youngsters when they
began to go bad. The new pitchers are
getting their brand of work in the
training games, and. favored by good
weather. Hendricks hopes to have them
all in good shape before the season
opens April 22.
Hendricks is of the opinion that he
has a quartet of young twirlers equal
to any in the minor leagues. Tipple.
