PORTUXD TRAINING CAMP. Sac
ramento, Cal., March 20. (Special.)
jouis ouisto, the fat. Mary's Collegre
player, reported to the Portland club
today and assisted the Tannisans in a
4-3 drubbing handed out to the regu
lars.
Guisto appeared at first base for the
so-called yans and his share In the
beating given Lyle Bigbee was a two
bagger to right and a hard hit single to
Fnort.
The day was rather chilly, and aside
from this seven-inning1 game only light
orii nas indulged in by the Portland
Ilayers.
Teams Evenly Matched.
The Yannigans weren't really yanni
gans in fact it would have required
a soothsayer, armed with seven-league
binoculars, to discover which team was
"van-' and which was "reg." But they
anea uus fishers aggregation "yans'
and Bill Speas' losers the "regs," and
inat goes down in the book as satis
fartory to yours truly.
The two lineups were as follows:
Yannigans Fisher, catcher; Clark, Hig-
Cinnotnam, pitchers: Guisto. first base
C. Bigbee, second base ; Hollocher, short
s-top; Haworth, third base; Niidn, cen
terfield; Southworth, left field; Smith,
ripht field.
Regulars Cullen. left field: Sneas
center field; Lush, right field; Quinn,

third base; Derham, second base; Black,
Biiti'iiei , 3ioeu, pitcner.
! or the lannigans Guisto poled two
nils in three attempts and Fisher,
Clark. Carson Bigbee and Hollocher
one apiece. Lush contributed a couple
of safe blows for the regulars and
ipeas. Quinn and Ward produced one
a piece.
It was young Ward's first actual
signs of life since he hopped off a
westbound train a few days ago and
stepped immediately into a uniform
against St. Mary's. That night, as a
result of his sudden burst of enthusi
asm. Ward stiffened up like a frozen
herring, and every move since then
has been fraught with grunts and
grimaces.
His legs thawed out a little under
stress and strain today and in another
2i hours old Charleyhorse will be sing
ing his swan song in the Ward fam
ily. Ilrrhnm Does Good fielding.
Ward looks good, as did Derham,
Hollacher and "Skeet" Bigbee. Derham
did not hit. but he fielded like a second
edition of Buck Weaver around the
keystone. Manager McCredie is a trifle
inclined to the opinion that neither
Derham nor Cullen, his young outfield
er, ever will amount to much offen
sively. Quinn and Guisto. rival first-sackers,
showed excellent form. One of Guisto's
hits was poled on a low ball, and Mc
Credie says he does not think the big
St. Mary's lad has any particular bat
ting weakness.
"He is another Harry Heilmann," de
clared Walter. "He hits 'em hard, and
for a 200-pound man is very fast and
a good fielder. He speared one Sunday
against us with one hand that was a
peach. Guisto needs Just a little drill
ing on the proper shifting of his feet
covering first base.'
Sotboron Reaches Camp.
Allan Sothoron. right-hand pitcher,
arrived today from Dayton, O., to Join
the Portland ball club. Sothoron is
a dark-haired, well-knit fellow. All
of Manager McCredie's prospective
flingers are now in camp and the only
absentees are Second Baseman Vaughn
and Outfielder Wilie.
McCredie is vexed at the railway
company for the failure to deliver
Wilie's transportation to him at Waco,
Tex., in time to get him here with the
rest of the pquad.
Young Hollacher, the infielder Mack
drafted from the Central Association,
is not figured as sufficienty experi
enced for a regular niche, but likely
will be retained for utility infield pur
poses. SEALS WORK OUT IN RAIN
Squad Will Be Divided for Game
Today Before Weak-Minded.
SAN JOSE. Cal., March 20. (Spe
cial.) Tn spite of the fact that it rained
a little this morning, Wolverton
hustled the squad out to Luna Park
and put the men through a stiff work
out. No attempt was made at a game,
but everybody got up a good sweat
and the day was not lost. In the morn
ing they attended a reception tendered
the boys by the San Jose High School
lad s.
Tomorrow afternoon the squad will
bo divided. The Yannigans are to go
to- Agnew's State Hospital for the In
sane, where they will play the at
tendants' team before an audience
composed of a couple of thousand of
the mentally defective.
Wolverton intimates that a couple
of the youngsters will be separated
from the training table tomorrow in
orrjr to Bet the squad down to a
tlqhtly more workable number.
Buddy Ryan Is Around and Qnin-
lan Is on Way to Salt Lake.
MOPFSTO. Cal., March 20. (Special.)
Rain last night gave the Salt Lak
rrs a day of rest, as the Red's park
was too muddy for practice. The men
siept until 10 o'clock and took a hike
in the. afternoon.
There is a revolution in camp.
O'Connor's favorites and Blankenship's
squad, who met in battle last Thurs
day with a victory of 5 to 3 for Blank's
lni-n have overthrown the tyrants,
iilankenship's men chose Mrs. Bunny
Brief as manager and the O'Connors
have selected Mrs. Jimmy Shinn to lead
them in a second contest on Thursday.
The camp was pleased with the news
that Buddy Ryan was up and around,
and Tommy Quinlan is en route to
falt Lake, where he will stop until
the return of the training squad. The
weather is clearing and two hard
practices are scheduled for tomorrow.

Lonla Golato, St. Mary's (olleee Athlete. Who Is Tiring Out With
the Portland Club at Sacramento. (Pen-and-ink Sketch by Artist
"Duke" Barnes.)
VAUGHN WILL SIGN
Holdout Second Baseman De
cides to Join Beavers.
SALARY WILL BE $3000
Contract With Kederal League,
However, Is Xot Affected and
Portland Will Pay Only
Part or Stipulated Sum.
"Holdoutiti.s" is cured, as far as the
Beavers are concerned, yesterday when
Bobby Vaughn telegraphed from Ta-
oma. Wash., his acceptance of terms
to Judge W. W. McCredie.
Vaughn was the most persistent of
the Beaver "holdouts," but after at
tempting to hold the trenches alone
for some time he gave up.
The future captain of the Portland
club received transportation yesterday
nd will be in here this afternoon to
ave a chat with Judge McCredie, and
will grab a "rattler" about midnight
for Sacramento. Vaughn will sign the
contract which was drawn up by Judge
McCredie which has written across
its face, "this in. no way affects Robert
aughn s Federal League contract.
The former Princeton University cap
tain will get $3000 for this season's
play just the same as if he were ca-
orting in the majors, only Portland
will not pay all of this. The St. Louis
Americans, who still have a string on
Bobby's services, will pay a portion.
Rise in Salary Is Denied.
The contract, mailed to Vaughn some
me back, was returned to the Mc
Credie: so modified as to include terms
of his Federal League parchment: that
is, Vaughn asked the Portland club to
agree, if they desired his services in
1917 and subsequent years, to pay him
his Federal League ealary plus 5 per
cent.
Vaughn understood thoroughly from
St. Louis and from the Portland owners
that during 1916 his Federal League
contract was to be lived up to.
But Vaughn was preparing himself
for the future. He wanted to tie the
McCredies up so that they would have
to pay him a 5 per cent Increase next
season in case St. Louis did not recall
him. This was foolish on the face of
it, for when the St. Louis management
finished paying Vaughn with Port
land's help for the 1916 season, under
the Federal League contract, their ob
ligation is ended. Vaughn after 'this
season will get paid according to his
worth.
In all events Walter McCredie will
no doubt be pleased to greet the
former putlaw at Sacramento, for it
will round out. his infield and he can
commence getting some view as to how
the boys will line up for the opening
game.
Wllle Probably on Way.
Judge W. W. McCredie is still un
able to get any word from the rail
road people relative to Denny E.
Wilie's ticket. Last Saturday the Judge
received a telegram from the out
fielder saying that there was no ticket
at Waco, Tex., for him.
The Portland magnate promptly got
after the Southern Pacific Company,
which said that it would look into the
matter at once. Up until last night
he was unable to find out whether or
not Wilie had the carfare. It is likely,
however, that the ex-Cleveland Ameri
can League star is speeding for sunny
Sacramento before this time.
"As soon as I get word from Wilie,
the railroad company or Walter Mc
Credie and see Bobby Vaughn and get
him on his way south, I'm going to
hike to a new hot springs resort just
out of Eugene, Or.." said Judge Mc
Credie yesterday. "The war is over for
another year and I intend to take a
rest."
The war referred to is getting all
ballplayers signed and in the training
camp.

VERXOX SQUAD IX CONDITION
Mound Men Hold Workout Under
Stands, Despite Itain.
VERNOX CAMP, Los Angeles. Cal.,
March 20. (Special.) Rain stopped
the Vernon Tigers from holding their
usual practice at Washington Park.
However, Manager Patterson made the
assertion that rain would be no bar
rier and all the pitchers worked under
the stands.
All of the Bengal players, with the
exception of Roy Mitchell, have re
ported. Manager Patterson said today that
the week's work at Maier's Santa
Susana ranch has served to put the
players in the best of condition, and
that he expects all to be fit and ready
for the regular season within a week.
Patterson is puzzled about second
base. A keystone sacker must be se
cured this week, as team work must
be developed. The position still is
open, with a trio' of performers out for
the place.

letters to both A. R. Tiffany, graduate
manager of the University of Oregon,
and Dr. E. J. Stewart, coach of the
Oregon Agricultural College, asking for
dates regarding dual meets between the
club and the colleges.
Some Saturdays late in Aprl or the
first part of May were suggested by
Manager Hawkins. While nothing
definite has been done regarding who
shall represent the winged "M" at the
Far Western indoor track and field
championships under the auspices of
the Oregon Agricultural College a week
from Saturday, Manager Hawkins ex
pects to take five athletes with him.
Captain Hummel, George Philbrook,
"Maw" Magone, "Admiral" Dewey and
Chet Huggins seem to be the likely
ones to go to Corvallis,-April 1. if the
weather will only turn out to be good
for a few days, Captain Hummel an
nounced last night that an attempt
would be made to hold a couple of
workouts before the Far Western
events.
A letter was received by Manager
Hawkins from Sam . Bellah, National

impossible for him. to come north until
late in May or Just before the Pacific

Portlanders Take First Game
of Series for Hockey
Championship of World.
FANS GROW ENTHUSIASTIC
Tobin Is Star for American Septet.
Eastern Style of Play Is
Used in Contest at
Montreal.
MONTREAL. March 20. (Special.)
Smothering their opponents with speed
and outplaying them from the start
to the finish, Portland scored an easy
victory in the first of a series of games
for the historic Stanley cup and the
hockey championship of the world. The
Portland Uncle Sams won by a score
of 2 to 0, because they were far su
perior as a team. After the first few
minutes they never left the issue in
doubt.
The victory came as perhaps the
greatest surprise of the season, as it
was hardly thought possible for the
visitors to show at their best in the
opening game and after the long jour
ney.
The Uncle Sams went on the ice
without a workout or rest-up. Taking
the teams, man for man, the defenders
had the edge on the locals and if their
play of tonight under rules that were
strange to them is any indication, they
will carry the cup back to the West
with them.
Back Checking Is Fast.
The Portlanders' fast back checking
so bewildered the Canadiens that they
soon became disorganized and never
again got settled down in their stride.
The Canadiens did not show any re
versal in their form and played well
up to that shown in winning the Na
tional Hockey Association title. To
night they met a team superior to them
in every department. At the nets
Vezina held the score down through his
brilliant work. Murray, at the opposite
end, had little to do.
Only on half a dozen occasions were
the Canadiens forwards close enough
to be dangerous. Time and again the
Canadiens would break away for com
bined play, which usually terminated
outside the visitors defense.
I'ncle Sams Balk Advances.
Not only were the defense players in
their position able to break up the at
tack, but on nearly every occasion the
forwards were able to help them out.
making it next to impossible for the
locals to get an opening. Charley
Uksila, a Portland boy, scored the tally
in the second period. Tobin also ap
peared in a stellar role.

TWOHY AXD SMITH VICTORS
Squash Doubles Title Lost by Jeffrey
and Hamilton Corbett.
The 1916 squash doubles champion
ship of the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic' CJub was won by James Twohy
and Ferd Smith from Oliver K. Jeffrey
and Hamilton Corbett after a strenuous
five-set match. The contests started
at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon and it
was not until after two hours and S5
minutes of playing that a champion
ship due could be determined.
The scores were 21-12. 15-21, 48-21.
21-12 and 21-16. Smith was hit under
the chin with a squash racquet in the
first game and it was sometime before
he was able to continue. Jim Twohy
was the big star of the matinee, his
driving power having no bounds. Twohy
and Jeffrey are left-handed, while
their partners are right-handed play
ers, making it a more exciting match
than if both players on each side were
right-handers.

NEW YORK, March 20. In order to
allay the effects of some adverse re
ports as to the physical condition of
Jess Willard and Frank Moran, who
are to meet in a 10-round bout here
next Saturday night. Chairman F. A.
Wenck, of the New York State Athletic
Commission, had Dr. Joseph M. Cream
er, the Commission's supervising physi
cian, examine both men yesterday.
Dr. Creamer declared both men in
prime condition.
Moran did only light work this morn
ing and then came to the city from
West Chester. He spent the forenoon
in the City Court, where he won a
legal battle. Dan McKettrick, Moran's
former manager, sued him for $1462 he
claimed to have advanced Moran before
his fight with Jack Johnson at Paris
In 1914.
Both parties met later in a res
taurant. Moran's counsel, Frank
O'Neill, former chairman of the State
Athletic Commission, after a heated
exchange of words with McKettrick
struck the latter on the jaw. Then
Harry Pollok, manager of Freddie
Welsh, world's lightweight champion,
took McKettrlck's part and landed a
right smash on O'Neill's mouth, cutting
the lawyer's lip.
Moran took no part in the fray, but
acted as peacemaker and separated the
combatants.
Moran will resume his training to
morrow, but for the remainder of the
week will confine himself to only light
work on the road and in the gym.
Champion Willard and his trainers
directed to omit the early morning runs
this week and today the Kansan only
took a brisk walk. During the after
noon Willard. at his training quarters,
went through his usual setting up and
bendi'ig exercise.
TROUT SEASON OPENS APRIL 1
Wardens Report Abundance of Elsli
- Throughout State.
The open season for trout more than
six inches in length begins April 1 and
already enthusiastic anglers are be
ginning to overhaul their tackle in an
ticipation of the days to come.
The season lasts until November 1
and the bag limit Is 75 fish, or not more
than 50 pounds, which can be caught
in a single day.
The streams are full of fish, accord
ing f Carl D. Shoemaker, State Game
Warden. v
"Reports from deputies all over the
state are that the prospects for a good
trout season are splendid," he said yes
terdaj'. "There is apparently plenty of
water in all sections and it is clearing
up and evidently will be in good, shape
by April 1."
The work which the state has done
in planting fish in numerous streams
has in many instances resulted in a
large increase. Mr. Shoemaker says.
The work of the game warden's office
n protection has also assisted in this.
"I would caution anglers to carry
licenses on their person," said Mr.
Shoemaker, "as I will give my deputies
strict instructions to check up on all
fishermen wherever found."

PLATERS GET JiO PAY YET
Ball Boys' Salaries Start as Soon as
Championship Race Is On.
PORTLAND. 'TRAINING CAMP. Sac
ramento, Cal., March 20. (Special.)
Do ballplayers receive pay during
Spring training? No, they do not. The
ballplayer's pay check ceases coming
on the last day of the official schedule
in the Fall and the financial meter be
gins ticking again on the first day of
the championship race tne following
Spring.
This year the Pacific Coast League
season begins on April 4.
While the players receive no pay dur
ing the Spring exercises, they are
brought to the camps at the expense of
the clubs and all expenses, while in
camp, are paid by the management.
Spring training sometimes works a
hardship on the player who is en
sconced in a good job during the Win
ter. In general, though, the ballplayers
are lucky to have somebody pay their
expenses while they are fitting them
selves for their real work.
A business man seldom pays the busi
ness college expenses of it3 prospective
"stenogs" and bookkeepers. Yet that
is precisely what the baseball man
agers do. Of course, their philanthropy
is not unalloyed; it is tinctured with
some selfish aims, for the three or four
