Allen Sothoron let out his pitching
"wing- today for the first time since
joirring the Beavers and Manager Mc
Credie is now convinced that his pitch
ing corps Is stronger than he "doped"
it a. few days ago.
"He showed me a dandy hook ball,"
declared Mac, enthusiastically. "I be
lieve Sothoron is due to surprise some
of us. His arm appears to be rounding-
into good shape and he may be
ready for work during the San Frati
fisco series. Sothoron has had two or
three years of seasoning and if he is
ever to amount to anything as a
twirler this should be his good year.
'"I am better satisfied with my
pitching staff today than at any time
since we came into Spring camp."
Sothoron XJuilt (or Work.
Sothoron is a chunky fellow, stand
ing about 5 feet 10hi or 11 and weigh
ing 176 pounds. Judging from exter
nal appearances he can assimilate a
lot of hard work. Sothoron came to
Portland from the St. Louis Americans.
He twirled for Wichita in the Western
League last year, although the prop
erty of the St. Louis Browns at the
time.
A game had been scheduled for to
day between the Beavers and an All
Star Winter league aggregation, but
for some reason or other the semi
professionals failed to show. To pacify
the 18 persons in the grandstand.
Manager Mack divided his squad into
parts and a seven-inning game was
played, the infield regulars drubbing
the outfield regulars 8 to 6.
Jimmy Clark twirled with the Fisher
crew and held a comfortable lead over
Lyle Bigbee. the Oregon twirler, until
the final inning, when the infielders
put four runs across and salted the
score.
Louis Guisto was again the big
noise in the fireworks. Clark deliber
ately walked Johnny Lush to get at
him to see if he had the stuff in a
pinch and Guisto whaled a three
bagger into deep center field that
would have cleared the' palisades in
the Portland park.
OvlHto Mnkm Great Play.
Guisto also starred in his fielding
play, pulling off a wonderful one
handed stab of a liner by Gus Fisher.
Wilie, Lush, Nixon, Higginbotham
and Carson Bigbee delivered timely
pokes.
L-j'le Bigbee exhibited a lot of "stuff"
on the ball but at times seemed rather
puzzled as to whether the home plate
was registered at the Land Hotel or
at the Travelers.
Tdeal weather was on tap again for
both morning and afternoon workouts
and the Beavers made the best of it.
Besides the abbreviated game, there
was a plethora of infield and outfield
practice, the usual snappy signal drill,
some sliding work and a few minutes
of batting and bunting drill.
Although Sacramento has proved
somewhat of a joke from the view
point of the man who counts the re
ceipts of the various practice games,
the weather conditions have been
ideal. Just enough snappy weather
has been encountered to give the boys
the proper "toning."
Squad to Be Divided.
Walter McCredie has not yet decided
on the personnel of his split squad
for the Stockton and Colored Giant
games Sunday. However, Mack and
faptain Vaughn will both accompany
the Stockton crew. Gus Fisher likely
will remain in Sacramento to pilot the
rest of the squad to San Francisco.
Both sections will pull into San Fran,
cisco around 10 o'clock Sunday night
anr) on Monday the bpys will be taken
to Recreation Park on Valencia street
for acclimation. The plug will be
pulled on the Coast ball for the year the
following afternoon.
F. J. Mannix. a San Francisco news
paperman, was a visitor here today
:ind it is his opinion that Bill Steen
will be chosen to pitch the opener
against Portland. Wynn Noyes likely
win do the honors for the Mackmen
from present indications. Mack says
he will not determine definitely until
he has seen his gunners work against
ihe negroes.
A huge pageant through the down
town streets will precede the opener
at Ran Francisco.
ANGELS AND TIGERS ARE FIT
Cliance and Patterson Putting Fin
ishing Touches to Teams.
LOS AXGKLKS, Cal.. March 23. (Spe
cial.) The Los Angeles team, headed
by Manager Chance, arrived this after
noon from Lake Klsinore. where Spring
training has been indulged in for the
past three weeks. The men were all in
great condition. For two hours this
morning before leaving the players hit
the ball around the lot, ran bases and
indulged in general horseplay as a final
windup. On arrival here all went to
their homes or hotels and will report
at Washington Park tomorrow at 10
o'clock for the windup.
Manager Patterson led his Vernon
n'hletes through a fast workout in the
final week of the training season. The
players are in good condition and, with
another week to go, Patterson asserts
that they'll he in perfect shape.
SEALS SEEM WEAK WITH BAT
Frank Gay Plays Surprisingly Well
at Third-Base Job.
SAN JOSE. Cal.. March 28. (Special.)
The Seals put across a 5-to-2 win on
the attendants' team of Agnew Asylum
today, but it was nowhere nearly as
impressive to those who watched the
proceedings from the bench. Portions
of the Agnew team were affected by
a case of stage fright, and the result
was to give the Coasters some easy
tallies.
Koehn. the Agnew twirler. was beg
garly with the hits, holding the Seals
to a half dozen smashes. And it would
have been five save that the right
fielder misjudged a drive from Sammy
Bohne's bat and allowed it to go for
two bases.
Frank Gay, unexpectedly thrown into
the third-base job by reason of illness
in the family of Bobby Jones, gave a
surprisingly good account of himself.

VANCE IS CONFIDENT
Seattle Wrestler Expects to
Toss O'Connell Quickly.
NEW TOE HOLD DEVISED
Puget Sound Star Declares Out
come of Match April 1 With
Multnomah Club Instructor
Will Not Be "Fluke."
Reports from the Seattle Athletic
Club have it that Frank Vance Is in
fine shape for his wrestling match
with Eddie O'Connell, which will be
held at the R.ose City Athletic Club
April 7. Vance has been unfortunate
in hurting the men with whom he has
been wrestling while preparing- him
self for the coming contest.
He broke a rib of one man who
weighed 210 pounds, using the body
scissors, one of the holds which he
applies effectively. He broke another
partner's ankle with a toe hold. Vance
says he has worked out a new toe
hold which is original with him. He
says that he has never seen a man
that uses this hold the way he does.
The physical director of the Seattle
club avers that he can fasten his new
toe hold on anyone, and that when he
once fastens it on a man there is no
way for the opponent to get away from
it witnout giving up or DreaKing nis
leg. Vance emphatically declares that
he expects to fasten this liold on Eddie
O'Connell and adds, in a letter just re
ceived here by the management of the
Rose City Athletic. Club, that it won't
be any "fluke" when he forces O'Con
nell to quit with it.
It seems that in their impromptu
match at the Spokane Amateur Athletic
Club four years ago, Vance was
besting O'Connell with a toe hold, when
friends forced them to quit. O'Connell
has always contended that the hold
was a fluke.
Vance posted his $50 forfeit for
weight and appearance yesterday.
Vance has not wrestled any profes
sional matches under his own name
and when he crawls on the 'mat with
O'Connell. April 7, it will mark the
first appearance professionally of one
of the greatest amateur wrestlers who
ever pulled on a pair of tights.
He wrestled four professional
matches under an assumed name four
or five years ago. . One came off at
Astoria against Dodan Singh. the
Hindu, which Vance won in two straight
falls. He then wrestled Barney Bow,
a light heavyweight, at Kent, Wash.,
and defeated him twice in six minutes.
The third match Vance refuses to
divulge, for he says it would startle
some of the fans of the Northwest if
he did. His last professional start was
made against Harry Krager.' who
weighed 190 pounds. He beat him.

Griggs, last year with the Brooklyn
Federals, was secured to the Vernon
Pacific Coast League team today for
second base by a trade made with Mon

WE have an 18-hole public golf
course already and, from the
looks of things, we may have to ar
range for a nine-hole course, too. The
cost of operating the 18-hole affair ror
the 1915 season was but $1012.27, most
ly for the employment of a grounds
keeper. No fee Is charged for the use of the
links, but to secure one of the lockers
in the spacious clubhouse erected on
the grounds near the first tee a charge
of $5 a year is made. The 'ordinary
player who goes around the course
walks about 3'4 miles for the 18 holes
of play.
As to the number of players we have
accommodated during the 1915 season
up to January 1, 1916, 4500 had per
mits to use the links. In most cases
they were persons from all walks of
life who were not able to belong to an
exclusive golf or country club. The
game is becoming more popular every
day. and we expect to have more than
7 000 players around the links from now
until the end of the year.

r-
Result of Spectacular Game
Makes Count Even in
World's Series. '
CAPTAIN 0ATMAN IS STAR
Portland Men Wobble at End of
Second Period, but Come
Back With Rnsh and
Submerge Canadiens.
MONTREAL. Que.. March 28. (Spe-cial.)-r-The
Portland hockey team to
night defeated the Montreal Canadiens,
6 to 5.
Sensational playing by Captain Oat
man and Smoky Harris in the last
period of the game turned the tide of
a bitterly-fought contest and made the
count in the world's series contests two
games each, with the final and deciding
game yet to be played.
The Uncle Sams started tonight's
game with but little hope of victory.
The Canadiens with 15 men in uniform
were ready for any emergency, but the
Uncle Sams made up in dash what they
lacked in numbers.
Portland Jumps Into Lead. ,
The puck had hardly been faced in
the opening period before Smoky Harris
of the Uncle Sams shot it past Vezina
into the Montreal net, scoring the first
point for Portland just 20 seconds after
play started. From then until the end
of the first period the teams battled on
even terms", but Portland jumped into
an apparently safe lead early in the
third period, when, from some fine
skating and. one pretty mixup in front
of the net, Uksila and Harris scored
points.
Here the Canadiens made their great
dash, and in quick succession Profgers,
LaLonde, Pietre and Arbour uetted the
puck past Murray, giving Montreal a
lead of 4-3 at the end of the second
period.
In the final period Harris lost little
time in eluding the Montreal defense
and shooting pact Vezina for the equal
izer. Captain Oatman, of Portland, fol
lowed suit, twice in rapid succession,
giving Portland a lead of 6-4. Just
before the final bell LaLonde, of Mon
treal, made the Canadiens' fifth goal.
Western Rales Prevail.
Tonight's game was played under
Western rules, permitting seven men on
the ice at once and checking the tactics
of the Montreal players which, in the
preceding game, had cost Portland a
victory. The method of penalizing by
ejecting a player and not permitting a
substitute prevented Montreal from
sending in inferior players at the start
to rough things, although the Canadiens
had plenty of men on the side lines for
such a contingency.
Whether the final game.-hich will
decide the. possession of the Stanley
challenge cup, will be played under
Eastern or Western rules will be deter
mined by the toss of a coin. The exact
iate of the contest is also to be de
cided, but it will probably be Thursday
night.
Attendance I Light.
The match was witnessed bv a dis
appointingly small attendance, it being
not any larger than on the night of the
rirst game, when the gate receipts
amounted to about $3000. This may
have been accounted for through the
threats of Ernie Johnson that he would
not play, and the conclusion drawn
that, without him on the team, it would
be an easy victory for the locals. A
victory to Portland meant another
chance in defense of the Stanley cup,
while a victory to the Canadiens meant
the championship and possession of the
trophy. Knowing this the players be
came almost desperate in their efforts
to score, and each gave his team all
that he could towards victory.
THE. AFTERMATH.
Now that the de.bris is cleared away.
Now that the fragments are brushed aside.
Now that the Willard-Moran affair
Is off the board for a finished ride:
What are we Koins to do, old Kick.
With our futuro lives through a fadingr
prime.
We whiave only a wife or a home
Or children or Jobs that may help kill timet
You mean to say it is over nowT
That we'll read no further from Willard's
pen ?
That we'll hear no longer from Camp Moran
Or the Knock-out patter that filled his den?
That the nineteen columns per day which
filled
And thrilled our lives are forever done?

Cleared for Balldom.
IF there hasn't been one thing blaz
ing away at baseball there has al
ways been another of even greater
virulence.
This Spring, just as the situation
was apparently cleared up and ren
dered ship-shape, just as renewed in
terest was on the point of bounding
forward, the giant forms of J. Willard
and F. Moran were tossed in between
the sporting public and the game.
Public interest in the Willard-Moran
affair, coupled with the overwhelming
display of space given the fight by the
press, has held the baseball frenzy well
in check. But" perhaps it is just as
well. Renewed interest is certainly
at hand, and there are still over two
preliminary weeks to readjust the dope
and discover about where things stand.
In the Melee.
In the way of a frost-bitten late
March prophecy it can be stated now
without fear of successful rebuttal that
1916 will offer more pqnnant possibili
ties for the two major leagues than
any other year since Hans Wagner and
Nap Lajoie slid from their cradles.
In the American T League you' can
- t.
only count two clubs beyond a 1916
pennant hope Cleveland and Phila
delphia. In the National League you can't
pick out even one club and prove that
it is outclassed.
No one believes with any frenzied
sincerity that St. Louis, Pittsburg or
Cincinnati is going to win a pennant
but even if they do not, any one or
the three is liable to finish close up.
Of the 16 major league clubs you can
list 12 six in each league as possess
ing sufficient class to have more than
a bleak outside chance.
Not Quite.
Mr. Welsh, lightweight champion.
has been collecting easy shekels for
nearly two years now.
Within the next few days he is to
get J12.500 for a 10-round party. But
while the purse is fat enough, it will
not be what you might term easy pick
ing. For while Benny Leonard may not
be quite ready to gather in the light
weight mantle, he isn't very far away.
Leonard can hit hard enough to take
the title away from Welsh, but catch
ing Freddie in 10 rounds is another
affair.
One Spar,
Slagle was the first to go. Then
Artie Hofman an then James Tilden
Sheckard.
Now. Frank Schulte is wavering
above the abyss. Possibly there have
been four greater outfielders in one
ball club. And possibly there haven't
been.
Anyway, we hope Schulte sticks at
least another year.' Not only because
he is quite a fellow, but because for
sentiment's sake we'd lilae to see one
spar left afloat of the old Cub ship.
For the Yank-Giant Series.

"When we meet I'll hammer the cover off";
"I'll show you who is the Home-run Maker."
Said Benny Kauff unto Franklin Baker.
Tris Speaker has discovered some dis
advantages in drawing a salary of
$17,500 a year. For example, it is
hard to cut J8000 off the salary of a
player who is only drawing ?4500 or
5000.
How About the Giants f
As signs and early evidence go, the
Giants of 1916 are not going to dally
in their cellar abode for a great many
Spring days. The strength of Mc
Graw's outfield is known. Burns,
Kauff, Rousch, Kelly and Robertson
are sure to provide three stars. They
should provide the best outfield Mc
Graw ever had not barring the Don-
lin-Mertes-Browne combination of 1905
or any of the outfield combinations of
1911-1913 all pennant years.
The infield is at least first-class, if
not spectacular. Rariden and Dooin
are two fine catchers.
With Doyle, Kauff, Burns, Merkle,
Fletcher and others to ret the runs
the club's attack is of flag - winning
caliber.
The chance for another pennant rests
upon the defense and in particular
what sort of a year Tesreau, Perritt
and Benton have.
Here is another piercing mystery to
be solved how is it that on the day
after a fight 99 prophets out of every
100 -can prove .to you they picked the
winner.
