end beating of the training season here
today, the American Giants winning
their first game of the series by a 4-
to-2 score. Irve was nicked for 12 hits,
two of them going for extra bases.
Today's contest was the best of the
training games so far. It was played
in an hour and 25 minutes and was
replete with sensational hitting. Mur
phy and Hutchison contributed the
only errors of the afternoon. Murphy's
boot did more good than harm, as it
was the means of him getting a man
at the home plate.
Nesroea Score First.
The Giants took their first run in
the third inning and Portland was
never able to get the lead.
A single by Hill, his stolen base and
a long single to right by Duncan al
lowed Hill the score in the third. Hig
ginbotham suffered his worst in the
fourth .inning, when five hits netted
two runs. Santop led with a single to
center. Hutchison Elngled to right
center, advancing Santop. Francis hit
down to short, and with Hutchison,
went out on a double play, Murphy to
Derrick, Baucbman doubled to left,
scoring Santop, while Ball singled to
right,' bringing across Bauchman from
second. The Giants' last run was
made in the ninth by Barber, on his
ingle and a sacrifice fly by McNair.
Stumpf Drives in Run.
Portland got across a run in the
fourth. With two down, Doane hit
down to Hutchison and gained first
and second on the resultant wide peg
to first. Stumpf singled to left and
Doane scored. With one out in ' the
eighth. Murphy walked, went down to
aecond on Klrcher's out, and scored
when Carisch hit down the base line
for a double.
; Three double plays, two by Portland
and one by the Giants, featured the
fielding- operations.
Ty Lober was on the bench this aft
ernoon with a sore arm and Kircher
filled in at left field. Lober's arm has
developed a weakness that may not be
overcome until after the opening of
the season.

Bonny Pitches in Practice Game for
Mormons and Pleases Manager.
SALT LAKE CITY. March 25. '(Spe
cial.) For the first time Salt Lake fans
today saw the Mormons in action. Up
wards of 800 persons gathered at Lucas
field this afternoon and watched a ftve
innlng game between two teams chosen
from the squad. In the forenoon Skip
per Blankenship put his men through
some work at the Deseret gymnasium
and later took them to the field, where
a short batting practice was held. In
the afternoon Blankenship and Billy
Orr chose sides and a five-inning game
was played. Blankenship switched and
Interchanged the lineup on both teams
so much that the fans were unable to
glean any knowledge of the team's
playing ability. Henderson pitched one
inning on Blankenship's team and made
a splendid showing. He says that he
Is in the best rondition.
"The club looks mighty good to me,"
said Blankenship, "and above all. Judg
ing from today's exhibition, the high
altitude will have no ill effects on any
of the men. I thought at first that it
might spoil their condition, but they
steem to be just the same active bunch
that I had at the training camp."
Blankenship is enthusiastic over his
outfield, and predicts that his men in
the garden positions will do some heavy
sticking.
OARS PLAY IX- GRAND FORM
Bring on Your Seals,"' Shout Fans
as White Sox Are Beaten, 7 to 0.
SAX FRANCISCO. March 25. (Spe
cial.) "Bring on your Seals!" gleefully
shouted a transbay fan today as the
Oaks waded into the White Sox regu
lars for a 7-to-0 victory. The cheer
about represented the feeling that pre
vailed in the stands and the players on
the field performed in decidedly Im
proved form. They hit with a will,
fielded brilliantly and had the dash of
a winning combination.
It was simply a case of a team under
way with good pitching to carry it
along, and the result was that the self
same fans who have been disappointed
with the club were yelling and predict
ing what a walloping is in store for the
Seals next week.
Prominent in the victory was the air
tight pitching of Dutch. Klawitter and
"Nuts" Boyd and the slugging of the
Oaklanders. They rapped Ellis John
son for 13 healthy hits and earned four
of their seven runs. The score:

COLLEGE BOY VPSETS SEALS
Santa Clara Defeats Mighty San
Francisco Club. 5 to 1.
SAX FRANCISCO. March 23. (Spe
cial.) Harry Wolverton's Seals are no
longer certain they're going to knock
the cover off the ball every time they
come to bat. Facing Santa Clara Uni
versity with a team only slightly out
of line, so far as the regulars are con
cerned, the San Francisco contingent
met with a 5-to-l defeat this afternoon
at Recreation Park. It was an eye
opener, in a measure, and doubtless the
best thing that could have happened.
The Coasters were up against high
class southpaw pitching on the part
of Tom Hickey and they came away
with but a single run at the close.
Hickey, whosa chief fault Is a lack
ICG
of control, was in exceptionally good
form. He allowed but six hits during
the afternoon and walked but three of
the opposing stickers. He was ably
supported, since the collegians escaped
without an error and made three
double plays that shut off the Seals
when they looked most dangerous.
Ira Colwell and Art Benham divided
the pitching for the San Francisco ag
gregation. ANGELS IX MIDSEASOX FORM
Chicago Goo's Beaten by Dillon's

LOS AXGEL.ES. March 25. (Special.)
The White Sox goofs were not in
it at any stage of the game, and were
easily beaten by the Angels today, 5
to 1. Klepfer was hit hard in the
fourth and eighth, but in the other
frames he was nearly invincible.
Hughes, on the other' hand, allowed
the goof sluggers three measly sin
gles, and by the aid .of a pass and an
error they managed to sneak a man
across in -the eighth. Maggerfs hit
ting was fierce, he rapping out a
triple and two singles In four times up.
The Angels played ,as if the season
was half over, despite the cold, raw
wind that blew across the field. Dillon
changed his lineup, letting Harper lead
oft and placing McMullin down in sixth
position. Wolters, the hard-hitting
right fielder, has not shown up yet.

SAX FRANCISCO. March 23. (Spe
cial.) Henry Berry, who returned to
day from Los Angeles, reports a unani
mous sentiment there in favor of the
return to the double umpire system.
Berry also says he has had advices from
Salt Lake City to the effect that the
club management prefers to have two
umpires on the field. Oakland is said
to be of a similar frame of mind, but the
hitch is with Portland.
A telegram came from Judge Mc
Credle today in which the Portland
magnate spoke in no uncertain terms
of the move. He Is dead against it
President Baum was -confined to his

REFEREE FOR FIGHT
Physical Examination of Big

markable Condition.
JOHNSON LOSING WEIGHT
Champion Shortens Schedule, While
Willard Works Harder and Shows
Excellent Footwork and L'n
usual Snap In Punches.
HAVANA. March 25. Jack Welsh, of
J San Francisco, has been named as the
referee for the Johnson-VV lliara ngnt.
He was selected at a meeting of, the
nrlncinnls and promoters tonight ana
the promoters sent a cablegram to him
asking his acceptance.
Tom Jones was spokesman for Wil
lard; Johnson acted for himself. Welsh
was selected from a list of 14 men.
Harry Sharpe. of St. Louis, and Mike
Donovan, of New York, also were fa
vored, but Welsh won. ,
The proposal to name a substitute
or an alternate was deferred until
wori should he received from Welsh.
A physical examination by an American-
physician of Jack Johnson today
disclosed the fact that the heavyweight
champion, who is to meet Jess w Ulara
in the ring on April 4. is in fine, con
dition, that - he is enjoying perfect
health.
Johnson Is C'onfldent.
The physician declared that his con
dition was remarkable for a man of 38
years of age. .In addition Johnson has
been exhibiting an abundance of spirits
and is looking forward with confidence
to the coming fight.
The usual routine marked the after
noon work of the two men. Both drew
large crowds to their respective quar
ters. The Cubans appear to be taking
more interest in boxing, although they
do not appreciate the fine points.- The
weather is ideal for the work of train
ing.
Joh.ison has shortened his schedule,
finding that he is losing weight too
fust because of the climatic conditions.
This afternoon he punched the bag and
had eight rounds with his sparring
partners.
Wlllurd Increases AV'ork.
Willard worked harder. His pro
gramme was similar to that of yester
day. He showed excellent footwork
and unusual snap In his punches. He
says he is fully accustomed now to the
changed conditions from El Paso and
expects to Increase ills wora oauy 10
the middle of next week and then to
taper gradually.
Plans have been completed for stands
nt the Muriana race course to accommo
date between 20,000 and 30.000 people.
There has been a good sale of the
cheaper seats to Cubans. It is expect
ed that the box and ringside seats will
be sold principally to tourists and fight
enthusiasts from the United States.
The betting on the fight Has not Deen
verv extensive, but the small bets so
far "laid make Johnson favorite at from
2 to 2M to 1.
The largest wager to date is i4uu
on Johnson to $600 on Willard.

Training Camp Notes
PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Fres

Harry Krause and Elmer Martinonl are
two of the native sons in the Portland
training camp. Neither is a bit back
ward in telling about it. Just for the
sake of pastime, the two have picked
a ball team of Californians that they
declare can beat the world.
The players, their positions, their
homes in California and the club they
now are with are: Pitchers Dutch
Leonard, of Fresno, Boston Red Sox;
Bill James, of Chico, Boston Braves.
Catchers Oscar Stanage, of Stockton,

of the sensations of the training camp.

base and shortstop Is awaited by base
ball fans with interest, especially those
who have been watching the practice
work. . The elimination of Bobby Col
trin, owing to his hitting power, brings
the field down to three men Murphy,
Davis and Naughton. These three men
are about assured of a position with
the team, but the regulars are the
question.
Two of them will land steady posi
tions with the club while the other will
be used as a utility man. Murphy ap
pears to be the logical candidate for
shortstop, although he has made several
boots that have cost runs. From his
work In the past three or four games,
it is evident that he can play a much
better game at short than at third.
Carisch, McCredie's new catcher,
seems to have it on Fisher when it
comes to hurling the ball down to
second base, at any rate his showing
during the training games indicate that
opposing Coast League base stealers
will have to exercise as much or more
caution in attempting to purloin, sacks
when Carisch is behind the bat as they
have been when Fisher is working. '

HOWE'S PUNCH HARD
Little Chinese Boxer Not as
Nimble as Abe Gordon.
BOYS IN FINE CONDITION
Match Between Newsie and Oriental,
Headliner for Imperial Club
Smoker Tonight, Attracts
No Little Attention.
Abe Gordon, 100-pound amateur
champion of the Pacific Coast, will have
to use everything he ever displayed,
tonight at the Arion Hall, when he
buoks up against Jimmy Howe. Jimmy
Is the Chinese boy from Walla Walla,
and is said to be a real scrapper. The
bout between the two whisper-weights
should be the best one seen in Portland
for many moons. Both boys are in fine
condition. The Chinese boy will draw
a lot of Orientals to the ringside. A sec
tion of the hall already has been re
served by no less than 50 of the most
prominent Chinese in Portland.
The battle between the two boys has
caused more "of a sensation in local
amateur circles than any match seen
since Al McNeil and Walter Williams
fought for the amateur championship
of the city at 115 pounds some three
years ago.
Both boys have been working out for
tire encounter at the Imperial Club and
old boxing fans, after viewing the
work of each, say it is a tossup as to
which is the better.
Newsboy More Active.
Gordon has one chance to win. The
little newsboy is nimble of foot and
this may prove the winning factor. On
the other hand, the Chinese boy about
equalizes things with his terrific right
and left wallops. The Chinese champ
is said to put enough steam behind each
blow to knock out a middleweight when
he lands. The Chinese boy appears to
be as fast as Abe with his hands, but
lacks the clever footwork of the Port
land newsboy.
Valley Trambetus will attempt a
little "comeback." He is scheduled to
take on Eddie Flannigan. the Spokane
boy, who recently shaded Jimmy Mos
cow. Trambetus lost to Yost Schmeer;
Moscow fought two draws with Yost
and then Flannigan defeated him, so
the dark-skinned paper merchant
seen-.s to be picking a pretty tough
boy. Trambetus suffered a cauliflower
ear in his last bout with Jack Wagner
and this bothered him when he fought
Schmeer. After the Schmeer battle he
rested until his ear healed.
Mascott to Meet Mexican.
Billy Mascott will also be on the
card. He meets Pasquale Cordova, the
hard-hitting Mexican.
Jack Fahie. former manager of
"Mysterious" Billy Smith in his cham
pionship days, will referee the main
event. Fahie Is not unknown to fol
lowers of the boxing game as a ref
eree. Before he retired from taking
an active part in the boxing game,
some years ago, he was a referee of
international repute. He has refereed
before the National Sporting Club of
London and in Paris.
The Arion Hall Is at Second and Oak
streets. The first bout will be at 8:S0.
The card follows:
125 pounds Bill Brown, Los Angeles,
vs. Bert Forbes. Portland.
145 pounds Frank Parslow, Port
land, vs. Joe Yonce, Vancouver.
135 pounds Jack Wagner, Portland,
vs. Kid Mitchell, Chehalls.
118 pounds Billie Mascott vs. Pas
quale Cordova.
145 pounds Valley Trambetus, Port
land vs. Eddie Flannigan, Spokane.
100 pounds Abe Gordon, Portland,
vs. Jimmie Howe. Walla Walla.
