Elmer Martinoni attributes the poor tart of the Portland Coast champions to the rough and bumpy diamond on which the. boys trained at Fresno. Martv and three other Beavers lnfield ers Murphy and Naughton and Trainer Schmieder ambled into town yesterday from Los Angeles, five days ahead of the team, and enjoyed a workout at Recreation Park in th afternoon. "We will be just as strong as ever." commented Marty. "Los Angeles had it on ua a little, but hat was to be expected, as the Angels were playing on home ground. We did not hit that week, either. Portland trailed last in the league, for the opening week. Salt Lake led. with .356: then Oakland, .315; San Francisco. .307: Venice. .288; Los Angeles. .287. and Portland. .246. - "Our ball club looks good to me, however, and you can put me down as Pirklng Portland. San Francisco and Los Angeles for the strong clubs now. Marty saW Bobby Davis was hitting the ball hard, but was unlucky In plac ing his drives. The side-tracking of Murphy and Naughton leaves the club without an extra infielder at Salt Lake. Kircher and Speas are available, how ever. Marty is suffering from a cold in his arm and that explains his ab sence from the club. Rieger remained in Los Angeles and may report late next week. ... Despite the league's new scheme of leaving trainers at home. Frank Schmieder will travel with the Beavers. W W. McCredie said yesterday that Schmieder acted in the dual capacity of trainer and club secretary, and It would be necessary to have him along, anyway, to count the kale and pay au tomobile bills. Schmieder is a clever fellow aud the local magnates are for tunate to have a man around capable of handling both the secretaryship and the conditioning. m Just at present Salt Lake and Oak land are giving the fans a good run for their money. Cliff Blankenship has a good assortment of hitters on his payroll, but it will give the dope a sorry scrambling if the Salt Lake pitching staff holds up. as now con stituted. Oakland has a much-improved club with Jimmy Johnston, Howard Mundorff and Red Kuhn asr reinforce ments. The Oakland catching staff is a peach. Elliott and Kuhn ought to team up on a par with Eisner auu Carisch, everything considered. Hap Hogan'a Venice club does not look any too good to those who have watched the Tigers perform. Marti noni saw the opening game between San Francisco and Venice last Tues day and he was not visibly impressed bv the Venice squad. Hogan 1 ou after anotiher pitcher or two. and that might give him the desired starch ing. . Here are the. official attendance fig ures for the last four opening days ETportUml: I?"',13'2"; 1913 16.126; 1914. 10.363. The largest crowd ever entertained at the local park was the 16.126 of two years ago. It is estimated that fully 18.000 were In the park at that time, because the crowd swarmed In through a break in the fence for 30 minutes before the police could drive tliem back. Last year rain squelched the inaugural. K S Higglns, president of the Boost ers'' Club, visited the park yesterday with W W. McCredie and. they out lined plans for handling the jam. Pres ident Higgins says there will be fully 20,000 out if the day is nice. "We have reserved the big grand stand from the first-base end to be roiul third base for Those wearing Booster buttons." explained President HUE Ins. "Policemen will be stationed at the foot of the entrance stairway and at the Inside end of the inclined runnay and only those with buttons and box seat checks will be admitted at these apertures. ' Grandstand fans without buttons wm be steered down tfie exit stairs at . the head of the incline and sent west under the grandstand to the aisle open ings a.t the far western end of the stand. I wish to impress on all the necessity of securing the right change before approaching the turnstiles. Pay-as-vou-enter stiles have been installed at the. entrance and it will facilitate the handling of the crowd if everybody will have the correct change. Mr. McCredie announced that no bleacher overflow would be permitted on the plaving field. Circus seats, ac commodating 2500 fans, have been erected in front of the grandstand and the grandstand overflow will be per mitted to hold these seats.

WILLARD SHRINKS AS OVATION GROWS Wild Scenes of Excitement Greet New Champion, Who Responds Reluctantly. PUGILIST MAKES SPEECHES Crowd Howls. AA'ith Delight -as Jess Shows Hand, Big as Small Ham, AA'ith AVhich He Knocked Out Jack-Johnson. At- -Havana. SAVANNAH, fla., April t. The progress of Jess Willard, victor over Jack Johnson In the battle for the world's .heavyweight championship at Havana, on Monday, through Florida to day on his ' way north '.was one con tlnuous ovation. Not since the days when John ' L. Sullivan- held, sway as the king or glove wielders, have similar scenes and excitement been created by the advent of a fighter. The day's trip was made amid a succession of spontaneous receptions in which the populace of each succeeding city seemed anxious to surpass the enthusiasm of those places lust passed. Word of the approach of the new champion was flashed ahead and as a result flags and bunting were Hying, bands playing and hundreds waiting in the heat at every station between Daytona, and hi city. At every cross roads and depot were throngs number ing1 from a. few score to thousands of persons. - In many cases It was ap parent that the spectators had traveled considerable distances, for dust-covered automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles of all descriptions were present. Cbamploa Becomes Embarrassed. Although Willard answered every call for his appearance and repeatedly made short speeches, it became evi dent as the day wore on that the tow ering cowboy from Kansas was grow ing embarrassed by the constant en thusiasm of his admirers. His response to calls for him to appear on the car platform and make speeches grew slower as the larger cities were en tered, and he adopted several artifices to evade shaking hands with the hun dreds of men who crowded about the car. Willard wrapped his right hand. in bandages at one station and at an other hung his arm in a sling, for he complained that the hand that he knocked out Johnson with was grow ing sore from the repeated grips of admirers. At St. Augustine when a gathering of some thousands headed fcy a band stormed the train one individual cried: "Hey, Jess, show us the list tnai knocked out Johnson." Crowd Howls Its Delight. When Willard held up his clinched hand, which looked as big as a small ham. the crowd howled with delight. Jacksonville witnessed anocner dib turnout, the depot being packed, while roofs of sheds and taller buildings over looking the yards were thick witn men and boys. Just before reaching Savannah, where another great gathering cheered Wil lard, it was reported the pugilist, nso been offered $100,000 for his share of theatrical receipts for the next year. Willard refused to discuss the report or state who had made the offer.

Coach Says Oregon jjhould Win,, but Reports Show Ills Men Have Been Making Marvelous Record. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, April 8. (Special.) Twenty three Aceia track athletes will leave Corvallis Saturday morning for Port land to compete in the Columbia lnaoor track meet. Dr. Stewart has put. nis charges through light workouts this week in place of more strenuous exer cise that they may be in the best pos sible shape for the Portland contest. The team which will represent the Corvallis college differs but little from that which carried off the banner last year, but "Doc" is not at all hopeful of duplicating last season's perform ance. "I look for Oregon to take the meet this year." said the Aggie coacn. in view of the ract tnai me aaamon of Mulrhead. Gorezscky and Clarrtdge to Havward'a sauad will take rrom us some of the points we secured last year. I do not believe that our team is any stronger than last season's aggrega tion, and the superior condition of our runners will be more than onset D the increased strength of the University team." Nevertheless Portland fans will be treated to some exciting races when the representatives of the two state institutions hook up. Kadderly stepped the quarter on the Armory indoor track in the tryouts last Saturday In less than 62 seconds, and at the same time Captain Reynolds covered the half-mile under 2:05.
