SIGNAL PRACTICE IS
BEGUN BY BEAVERS
Entirely New Set Is Invented
x and Will Be Rehearsed in
Game With Negroes.
HIT AND RUN TO BE USED
To Slake Play Effective McCrcdic
Insists on Mien Getting Signs
Down to line Point Murphy
I Candidate for Short.
J .
FRESNO. Cal.. March it. (Special.)
Secret signal practice was started by
atcCredie today, and the entire prac
tice period was given over to getting a
new set of hitting and base -running
signals drilled into the heads of the
players. This sort of practice will be
continued today, and the Beavers will
rehearse thoroughly the new system in
their frames with the American Col
ored Giants, to be in prime condition
when the Pacific Coast League opens.
For a time the use of signals of last
year was considered, but Mack decided
on an entirely new code. This . was
deemed advisable, as McCredie believed
that some of the managers last season
might have caught onto his system. A
new code has been invented. AlacK
aava that the signals are entirely ef
fective, and he does not believe that
tbe opposition will fathom tnem.
Men Mast Memorise Signals,
In introducing the new system every
man on the team is forced to memorize
th slsnals and is then put to the prac
tical test. The hit and run will be
used almost exclusively this year, as
was the case last season, and it is for
the purpose of making this form of
play effective that McCredie is insist
ing on his men getting the signal sys
tem down to a fine point.
Only a comparative few of the team
members are reliable base stealers, and
U is, therefore, necessary for the hit
ters to connect with tne Dan in oraer
to advance men. Players also are to
be made familiar with pitching signals
in order that they may know the na
ture of a pitcher's delivery and judge
the nature of the hit.
Onlv three pitchers on the Portland
staff Krause. Jllgginbotham and
Kvans are showing up to the satis
faction of McCredie. The rest are not
coming around as fast as they should.
Three Work In Games.
These three probably will pitch sev
eral zamcs against the negroes next
week. None Is expected to go the en
tire distance, and young pitchers will
fill in.
-McCredie said that Murphy had be
come a candidate for shortstop, and
that he would contest with Bobby
Coltrin for the place. Hitting will be
the determining factor when it comes
to a final decision.
McCredie received a long-distance
telephone message from Tulare tonight
regarding the playing of two games
with the American Colored Giants
March 27 nnd 28. Whether or not these
-.rames are clayed in Tulare will de
pend on the drawing power of Fresno
and the attitude ol I'Toster. manager 01

J.Y RISV OXE FOR MOR.MOXS
Blankenship Annoniices- Lineup for
Opening of Season.
RAN JOSE. Cal., March 19. (Special.)
Blankenship's sqund worked today
under a blazing sun three hours and a
half. In the morning the pitchers prac
ticed throwing to dummy batters and
the entire squad labored at team field
ing and signals. This afternoon the
pitchers hurled hooks and slants of all
eons for a hitting bee.
Manager Blankenship smiled at the
way the team walloped the ball, while
the extra pitchers did the "shagging"
in the outfield.
The practice ended with throwing by
the fielders to cut off runs at the plate
and at cutting off men attempting to
core from second base on singles.
One of Gay's ankles was injured in
sliding to the home plate and it is ex
pected he will have to ease up for a
tew daj-s. It is not believed the ankle
is sprained.
The Salt Lake team will line up as
follows when the season opens, accord
ing to Blankenship: Pitchers, Arel
lanes, Gregory. Eastley, Laroy, John
"Williams, Claude Williams, Hall and
Halla: catchers. Hannah, Lynn and
Jtohrer: first base. Tennant; second
base, Gedeon: third base, Halllnan;
t-hortstop, Orr: utility, Barbour: out
fielders. Zacher, Shinn, Ryan: utility,
I'aye.
3IOHMOXS TO TRY HEXDERSOX
Vrtrra il toast League Pitcher in
. Salt Lake Working Out Alone.
SALT LAKE, Utah, March 19. (Spe
cial.) One of Skipper Blankenship's
t-ecrets leaked out here today when Ben
3 Ic-.ideron. a veteran pitcher of the
'oast League, was seen loitering about
the lobby of a local hotel.
Ben refused to answer questions, but
Jt developed, however, that he had been
on his way to Join the Mormons at their
San Jose training camp, when he re
reived word from Blankenship to stop
in Salt Lake. Henderson has been in
Salt Lake about two weeks and has
been working out daily. He says that
lie Is in the best of condition.
' Henderson at one time was one of the
t-est pitchers in the Coast League. Fail
tiro to stay on the water wagon has
been his undoing.

Homer in Seventh Inning.
I.OS AN'GELF.S. Ca!.. March IS. (Spe

v.-ith the Chicago White Sox by poling
n homer ever the l-ft field fence in the
i-evcnth. chasing Mctzger in ahead of
him. and putting the final tab at 10 to 9.
When Maggert went to bat the game
stood 3 to I against the Angels and two
were down, but Scroggins had been
touched for three hits and three runs in
this frame and he wasn't any too
steady.
,'Benz worked the first six frames and
as touched up pretty welU Hughes
was way off bis stride and went out
after the fifth with eight runs and 10
Mts against him. Dad Meek butted into
tbe game in the fifth.-hitting for
Hughes, and made his fifth straight
pinch hit. Maggert also got a triple
nd a single in his other times up.

ASSOCIATION REBELS AGAINST
A MATE I H UNION RULING.
Taking of Water Contest From San
Francisco and Giving; Them to
Pittsburg Denonnced by Clubs.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 19. It be
came known today that the Pacifio
Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union rebelled last nignt against the
senior governing body at a meeting at
which more than 40 member associa
tions and clubs were represented. The
action was taken because the Na
tional indoor swimming and water polo
championships, originally awarded to
San Francisco, were recently on
from San Francisco and given to Pitts
burg. A formal protest, refusing to agree
to the chance, was ordered teiegrapnea
to the American Athletic Union head
quarters. The secretary was instructed
to telegraph every allied organization
west of Chicago urging that they join
in the protest.
A convention of all these allied clubs
and associations was called to .meet in
San Francisco in July. llo. It is ex
pected that 20 states will be repre
sented. A proposal to divide the pres
ent jurisdiction of the Amateur Ath
letic Union into four self-governing
bodies, to be termed the northern,
Southern, Atlantic and Pacific Asso
ciations, which would be unified in
some manner, will be presented to that
convention by the Pacific Association.
AWARDS CONFORM TO RULES
Committee Head Explains Setting of
Indoor Water Contests.
NEW YORK. March 19. In reference
to the awarding of the National in
door swimming championships to East
ern clubs this year. Chairman F. W.
Rubien, of the National championship
committee of the Amateur Athletic As
sociation, said today:
. "It was clearly understood that only
the outdoor championships were to-be
decided at San Francisco this year and
in addition there would be indoor ex
hibitions. The national indoor cham
pionships have been divided between
Eastern clubs as usual. -
"The rules distinctly say that not
more than one of the free style swim
ming championships may be held on
any one day. As only five days have
been allotted for swimming events at
the exposition all the championships
could not be decided within that time.
Hence the holding of indoor exhibitions
instead of championships at San Fran
cisco was deemed advisable."
Gossip From Fresno.
PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP. Fres
no, Cal.. March 19. (Special.)
Jakey Baumgartner, a Northwestern
League umpire, is now officiating in
practice games for the first division of
the Chicago hite Sox. Jakey blew
Into Modesto when Portland and the
Sox played there and demanded a job.
He was put to work behind the bat and
officiated during the afternoon. That
night Jakey hopped the train with the
Sox when the players left for San
Francisco and he has been with them
since. Baumgartner umpired the last
part of the season in the Texas League
last year and says he had the best year
of his life. He is now headed for the
Tri-State, where he says he has lo
cated a job during the present season.
Baumgartner believes that all ball
players are honest and when in doubt
he leaves a close play to the decision
of the man who took part in it. During
the Modesto game Derrick bounced one
off the home base! Reb Russell, in the
box. fielded the ball and threw to first.
A howl of foul went up from ballplay
ers and fans. Jakey. was disconcerted.
Ballplayers crowded around him and
demanded a decision. - Finally Jakey
broke away from .the players and
walked out to the pitchers' box.
"I'll leave it to your honesty, Mr.
Russell." said Jakey. "Was that a foul
or a fair ball?"
"It hit foul, was Russell's response.
"1 always believe in leaving those
things to the honesty of the ballplay
ers," explained Jakey when he came up
to the press box at the conclusion of
the inning.
The presence of Baumgartner recalls
a story of a successful financial deal
pulled off by him while working in the
Northwestern League. Jakey was um
piring at Seattle when an "Umpire's
day" was declared at Tacoma. Jakey
immediately left for Tacoma and se
cured a special concession for peanuts.
All during that game Jakey worked his
assistants at a high rate of speed and
at night he had collected 111.15.

BY ROSCOE FAWCBTT.
There's been a sort of slumbering In
terest in Coast League ball prelimi
naries in the- ranks of Portland fandom
the nftst month.
Today the button will be touched that
will set the magnetos sparking to beat
the band. George L. Baker, president
nt the Portland Baseball Boosters, n
called a mass meeting of the fans for
noon at the Hazelwood. and at tne ses
sion plans will be laid for the opening
h o Ti- ndrpTYinnmia in fortiana. apru io.
Of course, the champion Beavers will
officially open their schedule March 30
at Los Angeles, but April 13 will mark
their initial appearance in the north
eonntrv. and that's the big date nere.
Last year the boosters had everything
tagged for a 20,000 crowd, and then it
rained, drizzled and poured for two days
Ktrsierht.
They are after this record again this
Rnrinp.
Now for a little side squint at the six
teams in the race.
gcals Seem to Have Edge.
Nohodv can gainsay with any assur
ance what the teams will do when the
barrier lets fly. From all the dope of
the Spring, however, it looks as if San
Francisco has the edge on all its rivals,
with Portland and Los Angeles as fore
most rivals.
San Francisco has a few speedburners
on it3 roster. But Wolverton has a
flock of cleanup hitters that will send
chills coursing up many a pttcnin
vertebrae before the campaign is half
gone, or we miss our mark a million
nautical miles.
.- Furthermore, don't let it slip your
mind that the Seals will be back in the
little old Recreation Park, with its
short right fleld fence.
Ping Bodic picked up most of his hits
there when the Seal's won their pennant
back in 1909. Schaller will got 23 points
better as a direct result of the change
in locations, while Heilmann, Fitzgerald
and even Bob Jones are long hitters to
any field.
With the possible exception of Salt
Lake and Oakland, the Seals are the
only ones who have bolstered much
since last Fall, judging from the Spring
camp antics.
Oaks Look Good on Paper.
The Oaks look good on paper, but
right rhere the superlatives cease. They
have been acting up like a lot of wooden
kewpies at Pleasanton. There has been
a lamentable lack of bitting.
Salt Lake, too, has been a disappoint
ment to the wise ones. Some can be
found who think the Mormons are going
to be pennant contenders from the jump.
but there are some folk who still ad
here to single tax.
Venice, Portland and Los Angeles are
all weaker than when they finished last
Fall. . Venice has yet to show another
Ed Klepfer, another Elliott and another
Bill Leard. Gleichmann will not mus
ter quite up to Borton. Los Angeles is
not materially changed, except that
Ernie Johnson's hole at shortstop re
mains unplugged. Terry will not stand
the grind.
Bearer Starting Outfit Better.
So far as Portland is concerned, the
fans can take this straight from the
shoulder, the Beavers may not start
with that same old wreckage crew
Rodgers, Kores, et al., but Walt Mc
Credie will have a better starting out
fit than he toted over to Sacramento
March 31 of last year.
Mac was figuring strongly on Roy
Brown to make his pitching staff.
Brown came through with a four-hit
game against the Senators that week,
but he never pitched another good
game for the Beavers. Haworth and
Perkins wera Gus Fisher's only under
studies behind the windpan and Milli-
gan was expected to deliver In the out
field.
Every man jack of these recruits,
and Pitchers Hanson, Frambach and
Salveson besides, flopped by the way
side before two months had elapsed.
The Beaver boss had to fill up with
Yantz and Brenegan behind the bat
and the present reliable slabbing ex
perts, Evans, Rieger, Lush and Marti-
noni, and Pat isastley, now ot sail
Lake.
We shudder to contemplate where
the club would have landed without
these reinforcements. fi
Stumpf and Derrick Look Good.
Stumpf looks the goods at second
base for the 1915 corps of Mackmen,
and, of course, Fred Derrick is the
class of the league at first. Let Fred
buckle down and take care of himself
and he'll be in the big leagues within
a year. The catching, pitching and
outfield berths are full to the brim.
with highly capable winning players.
Which leaves only two infield posi
tions, short and third base, as possible
weaknesses. Naughton. Coltrin. Davis
and Murphy are all youngsters and
only the tests of time will determine
their staying qualities. Viewing these
i-two positions most pessimistically.
Walter Mack s job looks 100 per cent
easier than for two or three seasons
back.
It ought not to be difficult in these
narlous davs to grab off a couple of
big league castoffs of 'sufficient caliber
to tip the scales, even n everytning
now on the payroll goes back over the
long trail to Bushville.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 19.
Thomas Darmodv, managing owner of

Team Sad Because Games With Sox
May Have to Be Called Off.
VENICE, Cal., March 19. (Special.)
The Tigers had their usual morning and
afternoon practice at the Venice Park
today, but there was sadness in camp.
The games scheduled with the Goofs
for Saturday and Sunday may have to
be canceled, aa there seems to be no

enough for the Sox management, aside
from Washington Park, and that is en
gaged. Therefore, these games may go
to the Angels.

for tomorrow morning at San Pedro
which may be pulled off.
