Too much class and some mighty Quick pad work by Carisch in the eighth proved the undoing of the Aneels and they dropped today s game to the Beavers, 4 to 2, after a. 10-in- nins struggle. All told, i'i men were in the irauie at one time- or another, two of these bein pinch hitters for the Angels in the tenth? and both failed to deliver the goods. The Angels outhit the Beavers, 10 to seven, but most of the binglcs canio when no one was on or with two down Evans pitched a fine game up to the irhth when he was yanked after Volter had tripled, scoring Harper, who was running for Boles. Lvans' worK didn't merit his yanking, but McCredie evidently intended to take no chances, and sent Coveleskic to the bullpen. Carlarh Saves Game. With the score S to 2. and Wolter on third in the eighth, iletzger dumped the ball about 10 feet in front of the plate for what seemed a sure bunt. Wolter tore for the plate and Carisch tore for the ball. They both met on the base, but the cx-Nap happened to be out In front a foot and Wolter was declared out. No one expected Carisch could turn the trick, but he did, and It waved the game right there for the Beavers. singles by Speas. Derrick and Stumpf In the fourth, with some mighty rotten fle'.ding by the Angela, gave the Beavers a lead of two runs. The Angels took one in the sixth on Boles' triple and Love's single, and tied it in the eighth. Chech Goes AVild and Loses. In the tenth Chech, who had replaced Love, had a, wild streak, and passed both Davis and Derrick. Kisher, hitting for Carisch, singled Davis in. Doane forced Fisher, Derrick going to third, and then he and Doane pulled a beau tiful double steal. Derrick scoring. The Angels tried hard to get up in their half, but Meek and Ryan fell down in the pinch. Evans caught two men asleep off first in the second inning and got a good hand for his work. The Beavers had too much class today and 1 1 the luck, and that's what wins ball fames.

Not unlike several leagues of higher rating and caliber, the Portland City circuit has begun to trim its teams of surplus material. Five of the East Side Redmcn got the "Indian sign" yester day. Pitchers H. R. Thompson and J. Campion, Catcher Jorgenson. Third Baseman Bishop and Shortstop ener rctt all felt the keen edge of the instru ment that cut their names from the playing list. The Piedmont Maroons also slipped a blue ticket to Lawrence Grimm, first Backer. Manager Greyson figured that he could get through the season well with Dotv doing duty at the first stop ping place. The llonarchs are also duo lor a shakeup, according to Captain Murray. ustead of letting out men the Sellwooci ontingent has announced that it win make an effort to land a few more ikelv tossers. In all probability the game Sunday between the sellwooa ana aionarcn squads will be a seven-inning setto. This game will be the first on the dou ble bill. President Whitehead didn't warm up much to the long time in which last Sunday's games were played. A record turnout is expected for the Piedmont-East Side game. These two teams appear pretty evenly matched, both have a large following and both won their games last Sunday.

Pbyle and Toman TIGERS ril,L BEES' STINGERS UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, April 1. (Special.) The last week of rain has seriously handicapped the Ore gon track team. The outdoor track has become so sloppy that it is impossible to work the men on it. the inside track is in no shape and Kill Hay ward, vet eran coach, has begun to worry. With the Columbia meet a little more than a week distant." he sighed, 'and rny men unable to get in any real work, things will look mighty bad un less we get some sunshine before long." There hasn't been a day this week that rain has not played havoc with the work of the cinder patch athletes. All that they have been able to do is to go out, heavily bundled in sweaters. and take a few jogs up ajid down the partially covered track. Fans are predicting a win for Oregon when they journey to Portland a week from tomorrow to participate in the first meet of the season, April 10. There is one thing sure, that their condition due to the rain will be below par and endurance is a matter of much doubt. To date Bill has been exceptionally easy with his men. expecting to pit them through the hard paces this week and then 'ease off for the Columbia classic. Now the rain has spoiled it all. "It is good weather for ducks," smiled Ilayward, "but mighty poor for track men. "Two Home Runs Feature Second Game on Salt Lake Grounds. -. SALT LAKE C1TT. April 1.

April 1. The man agers of the University of Pennsylvania relay race are experiencing difficulty in making room for the large number of colleges and schools that have en tered for the various events. More than 100 high schools have signified their intention of being on hand, and they have been put into 13 class events, which of themselves will take an hour and a half to run off. The response from the colleges this year is unprecedented. Not only will the relay, champion ships be more representative than ever, but all the special events will be filled with the highest class athletes in the American colleges. There is not a single event, with the possible ex ccption of the 100 yards, in which the world s record may not be broken. Seattle Crews Off for South. SEATTLE. Wash., April ' 1.

With only a few- days left for training, rain today inter fered seriously with the work of Jack Johnson and Jess Willard, who shortly after noon on Monday next will step Into the ring for their battle for the heavyweight championship of the world. Johnson did virtually nothing; Will ard was forced to curtail his activity. A hot, humid morning was followed by thunder storms throughout the afternoon. Willard carried out hi3 exhibition programme before a crowd of enthusi asts who paid to sec him. He boxed nine rounds in the rain with his spar ring partners. Savage, Monahan and Hemphill. The floor of the ring was slippery and he took many chances: yet he did excellent work. He cut loose against Savage and lifted the 200 pounder clear off his feet with an easy right swing. Wlllard'a Condition Good. He finished by letting Tex O'Rourko. the wrestler, throw a heavy medicine ball with all his strength 12 times against his stomach, at the conclusion of which O'Rourke, who weighs 220 pounds, was tired out, and Willard just laughed. Winding up his other routine work of the morning, AVillard walked and ran five miles in a heavy sweater and came home dripping. People apparently never tire of watch ing this young giant train. The at tendance at his quarters during exhibi tion hours has been large, and enough money has been taken in daily to pay all camp expenses. Johnson Visits Races. Johnson took a short run in the morning to a private bath in the harbor, where he swam for the greater part of an hour. When the rain began to fall in the afternoon he decided to cut out his exhibition in the open stadium. In stead, he went to the races, where he was the object "of much attention. M. J. Hlnkel, of Cleveland, was named today alternate referee. In case of inability of Jack Welsh to act Hin- kel will referee. At the same time Bob Vernon, of New York, was ap pointed timekeeper for the club, with Ben Harris, also of New Tork, as al ternate. Sam Leon, of Toronto, is the timekeeper for Johnson. Willard named Otto Floto, of Denver, as his timekeeper. Willard Plans Victorious Tour. ' Willard and his followers are so con fident of victory that they have planned triumphant entry into the United States of the "new champion" a few days after the battle. They expect to make a tour of the principal cities of Cuba on April 6 and 7 if Willard's con dition permits, and then go to New York by way of Key West, stopping at various places en route. Willard ex pects to be the principal figure at a great reception in Madison Square gar den. Later, he says, he will make a trip around the world. His plan is much like the one made by Jeffries previous to his defeat at Reno. He has! no particular plans if he should lose. Willard says that fighting is a busi ness proposition with him and that he bears no enmity toward his opponent. He says that he will enter the ring calm and determined to win because he needs the money and knows he can win in the prizering. Johnson Bears Xo Knmlty. Johnson, too, says he has no hard feelings for his opponent, and would like to be oh friendly terms with all of them before and after his fights. He boxes because there is money in it and not for the love of fighting. Johnson has interests in France and after his bout with Willard expects to return to the Continent and settle down for good. If he wins over Willard he probably will visit South America for exhibition bouts before going to n.u rope, but if he loses he will return to France at once. As a winner, he will be able to make plenty of money by giving exhibitions. It is the greatest desire of his life to retire as unde feated heavyweight champion of the world. Johnson and Willard have met on two occasions since they came to Havana, but thev exchanged only a few words Previously they had never met. John son encountered Willard unexpectedly last night. The champion was dressed as usual in a white flannel suit, white hat and white shoes, and was wearing a big diamond stud and rings, wuiara was dressed modestly in a blue suit and Panama hat. He also was wearing a large diamond stud. Negro Appears Nervous. 1 Johnson seemed studiously to avoid paying the slightest attention to his antagonist, talking ' loudly to his friends. Willard in the meantime care fully watched Johnson's every move. Outwardly Johnson is all confidence, but in the privacy of his training quar ters he views the fight seriously. This is something new in Johnson and causes many of his followers to be lieve that he looks for a hard match. Willard does not seem to be at all nervous over the approaching battle, hut he is under a strain nevertheless. The mere glamor of the championship apparently does not appeal to him as stronglv as it nas to jwimauu. cl J mail brings scores of letters from" the United States to Willard. Many are from cranks who offer advice which causes much amusement. conference yesterday, outlined the pro gramme that will occupy the Summer. A. M. Grllley, physical director, an nounced that he would lead two parties of hikers to Mount Hood and one to Mount St. Helena, and that the men of the gymnasium classes will take much of their exercise on some neighboring hilltop, where they will hare aupper to gether and return after nightfall.

Owing to an excess of moisture Port land ball fans were not able to size up "Rube" Foster's famous Chicago col ored Giants yesterday-against an All- Star City League cast. "Rube" was here with his dark horde, however, and before he submerged for the run to Seattle the 240-pounder let drop th interesting remark that the Portland Coast club is the strongest McCredi nas opened with In three years. And "Rube" ought to know because he has met the Mackmen in a special camp series every Spring within that period. 'I told you last Spring your team wa weak," said the negro McGraw. "If Mack hadn't strengthened he would never have won the pennant. But I lik this 1915 club. Mack has a bunch of good pitchers. Of the youngsters like Coveleskie best, because he has all the natural requirements. Leonard beat us 1-0 in the final game, but, even so, I don t believe he will ever becom a Coast Leaguer. He pitches only on way. Callahan is young and promising. 'Stumpf at second base. In my Judg ment, will prove even superior to Bill Rodgers," added Manager Foster. "That Is a strong statement In view of th fact that Rodgers is now In the big leagues. Stumpf looks to me like comer. I have some of the greatest in fielders in the world on my club and yet they couldn't accustom themselves to that rough Fresno diamond UK Stumpf. He fields much better than Rodgers and I really believe he will hit just as well, although Rodgers is great pinch . hitter. "Portland's catching staff is 50 per cent stronger than it was laBt season. Carisch is a better catcher today than Chief Meyers, of the New lork Giants. I know because we were In tne feoutn ern California Winter League two years ago, when Meyers and Carisch caught for the San Diego club, side by side. Carisch isn't as strong at the bat as Meyers, but he is a wise man behind the wlndpad. "Thev were all shaking their heads at Fresno about Shortstop Murphy, but he looked all right to me." Foster is in close touch with the big league ball situation and he does not think the Federal League will ever stick as a third major. If it does not go broke it will be merged with the American and National, in his opinion The Colored Giants left early last night for Tacoma and Seattle. V Bill Rodgers was all to the good in Cleveland's 3-2 10-tnning victory over New Orleans last Sunday. Bill nagged three hits in four trips and it was his double and Jackson's single in tne mtn that scored the winning tally. Hager man pitched the last five innings for the Naps and allowed only two nits. - "Red" Kuhn told a Los Angeles newsnanerman that his salary with the White Sox was $600 a month and that he would not sign for less with Oak land.

Walter McCredie is not compliment ary to Coast League pitchers and third sacjsers. Pitching is becoming a lost art out here." said he the other day down South.

Two out of three from the club chosen to lead the league by "Pants" Rowland, the White Sox boss, isn't so bad, is it? In accordance with President Mur phy's neutrality requests The Orego nian will hereafter refrain from call ing the new Salt Lake club "The Mormons." It seems odd. however, that a hustling directorate like the new Salt Lake ball bunch couldn't have chosen an original title for its team. The Victoria Northwest club has been known as the Bees for three years and Victoria plagiarized on a league that was organized on Mt Ararat a few centuries ago. One San Francisco newspaper suggests that the Salt Lakers be called the "Salts," but this might be found offensive to the Utah folk, should they wake up some morning and read "Portland Has Taken Salts Down the Line." For the same reason Epsoms will not do and Utes and Piutes would hardly meet popular approval, and, for the good of the game over yonder, we hope it will not be aDroDOs to dub them tne "Blanks. So "Bees" it is with The Oregonlan from this time henceforth. n fl WHY NOT!

It was contended by many of the union governors that the marathon rule proposed, although it is now in force in competitions held by the International Athletic Federation, including the Olympic games, is an inhuman pro vision and that there was no good rea son why the Amateur Athletic Union should make such demands of runners in races in this country.
