LOS ANGELES. Cal., April 1. (Spe
cial.) 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.

CITY LEAGCERS GET RELEASES
Leaders to Meet Sunday In Second
Game or Double-Header.
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.

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.

freshman, first challenged any other
class and then extended the scope of
their challenge.
Two six-men teams were organized
for the best two of three contests. The
combination team wan the two first
pulls, jerking the freshman team into
the canal twice. A large crowd
watched the contest, which was held on
the Kighth-street canal between Ferry

The winning team was composed of
Jones. Stewart, French, Springer, Hart
and Blair. The defeated freshman team
was composed of Parker. McKey, Tolles,

HAVANA. 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.

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.

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

Kid Mohler wants to be an umpire

filed an application with President
Baum.
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. "Very few good youngsters
have come into the -league and some
grood men have gone out. I don't
think there is a first-class third base

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

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.
