(Special.) The opening game of the 14th season of the Pacific Coast Baseball League will be played tomorrow, and all Is in readiness for the start of the 1916 pennant race. Here are the openers: Portland at San Francisco. Oakland at Salt Lake. Vernon at Los Angelas. Both the Portland and the San Fran cisco clubs arrived in this city yester day from their respective training camps. Walt McCredie had his bunch out for a light skirmish this forenoon, and in the afternoon the Seals worked out under Wolverton's eyes. . . . oy "Will OppoRe Steen. Opening pitchers will be Winfield Noyes for Portland, opposing- Bill Steen for San Francisco. Steen formerly twirled for - Portland, helping the Beavers win the 1910 and the 1911 pennants. His prowess finally landed him in the American League, where he rf-mained for several seasons until his return last Fall to the Coast circuit. Although Gus Fisher, Portland's star backstop, was on the rubbing table until 3 o'clock this morning under the care of Dr. Leslie Clough, it is not be lieved his injured arm will be in con dition for tomorrow's game. If the Beavers' star batsman is kept on the bench Homer Haworth will do the receiving. San Franciseo Is Crippled. San Francisco likewise Is somewhat crippled through the temporary ab sence of Bobby Jones, third sacker. Jones is . at his wife's bedside In Salt Lake. Granting that Fisher is not able to play, the lineups that will face each other at 2:45 tomorrow afternoon will be as follows: Portland Wilie. c. f Vauphn, 2b. Nixon, r. f. Houth worth, 1. f. Ouisto. lb. Plumpf. 3b. Haworth, c. Ward. s. s. Noyes. p. San Francises Fitzgrerald, r. f. Autrey, lb. Scheller, 1. f. Bodie, c. f. Downs. 2b. Oay. 3b. Holme, s. B. Sepulveda, c. Steen, p. The umpires will be Billy Phyle and Jack Doyle, the latter being a new arbiter in the circuit. Doyle roomed with Walt McCredie, on the Brooklyn club, back about 1903. Elaborate preparations are being made here for a gala inaugural. An automobile parade will precede th usual services at the park. Mayoi Rolph will twirl the initial ball. Recreation Park has splinter room for about 11,000 fans and standing space for another 2500, and Henry Berry said tonight he expected every available inch of space to be taken. Good Tear la Predicted, i Baseball wiseacres around the bay predict a good baseball year up and down the Coast. As to the probable outcome of to morrow's game here, and the series, there isn't much ammunition for "dop ing." San Francisco appears about 15 per cent weaker than as the Seals finished last Fall, while Portland cer tainly is fully 25 per cent stronger. However, San Francisco won the pen nant In 1915 and Portland the booby prize, so do your own guessing. Portland unquestionably will trot the best Infield onto Recreation field to morrow unless Louis Guisto is stricken with stage fright. Guisto and Stumpf are both extra-base wallopers and It Is a cinch that Vaughn with his brains and his .275 hickory Is far preferable to either of the two recruits on the Seal inner works Bohne at short or Gay at third. Autrey and Downs Veterans. Autrey and Downs, for the Seals, are seasoned veterans and dangerous bats men, particularly the latter. In the outfield there is little for the Seal fans to gloat about. Schaller, Bodie and Fitzgerald constitute a great trio, but Portland is packing its "big Berthas or, perhaps, "little Berthas" would be more physiologically apropos in the outer gardens. Catching staffs are about on a par, with the odds in Portland's favor, when Gus Fisher s name is in the box score. San Francisco appears to have 'the superior twirling corps. Steen, Baum, Fanning, Perritt, Couch and Brown are all dependables. For Portland Noyes, Harstad and Higginbotham are right, and that ends the list of certainties. Johnny Luh Insn't Ready. Johnny Lush will not be ready for another fortnight. He pitched four In nings Sunday against the "negroes at Sacramento and his arm nearly dropped off. Jimmy Clark assisted Lush in the 1-0 rout of the negroes, and James may prove the Moses in Portland's flinging wilderness. Allen Sothoron, of Wichita, Is another untried but prospective phenomenon. Manager McCredie said tonight thafc he intended using Noyes Tuesday. Harstad on Wednesday and Higgin botham on Thursday, Clark or Sothoron will be chosen on Friday, and then the hand will go back to Noyes, Harstad and Higginbotham for another game apiece. Noyes Still Limps a Bit. "These three are all big fellows and I Intend to work them twice a week until the rest of my staff is shipshape,' explained Mac. "The best year Hig ginbotham ever had was In 1914, when he was in there two or three times per week." Noyes is limping a bit as a result of a sore toe or an attack of the gout he refuses to say which but so long as the ailment contents itself with that end of his anatomy it should not affect his pitching. Fair weather is tomorrow's forecast KLAWITTER MAY FACE FITTERY Crowd of 10,00 0 at Salt Lake Is Expeeted When Oaks Meet Bees SALT LAKE CITT. April 3. (Spe cial.) The sun beamed down on Salt Lake this afternoon and consequently 15,000 baseball bugs are wild with joy. Ten thousand of the 15,000 expect to 'crowd Into Majestic Park " tomorrow.

P- RYAX AXD HESS VIE TODAY Angels and Tigers Are In Fine Shape for First Clash. LOS ANGELES, April 3. Jack Ryan and Otto Hess will be the opening-day pitchers at Washington Park tomor row, it was announced today. President Al Baum, of the Coast League, visited Washington Park to day. "We're in. for the greatest year ever," he remarked. "I've been keep ing In close touch with the baseball public, and their enthusiasm is the greatest I have seen since I have been onnected with the game." The Angels and Tigers wound up their three weeks' Spring training grind with light workouts at Washington Park today. At the conclusion Man agers Chance and Patterson proclaimed each man fit for the opening game of the season tomorrow. The Seraphs took the field at 10:30 and the Tigers started practice shortly after noon. The outfield was roped oft today to take care of the overflow, for all officials unite in saying the crowd ivill be by far the greatest that ever watched an opening-day game. The threatening sky caused baseball officials to do a little fretting, but the official prognosticator predicts fair weather tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow will mark Manager Chance's first appearance in a baseball parade in all of his career on the diamond. Chance has never ridden in parade, and seems as tickled over the affair as a kid with new red-topped boots. Wichita Buys Pitcher Henley. SACRAMENTO. Cal.. April 3.

HEAVY SUPPORT INDICATED Manager Hall, of Tacoma, Declares Conditions in Industries Are Opportune for Brightest Season in History. TACOMA, Wash.. April 3. (Special.) Baseball prospects in the Northwest ern League are brighter this season than they have been for years, believes Russ Hall, manager of the Tacoma team. Hall and his associates believe that on the western end of the map condi tions are much Improved with the pos sible exception of Vancouver. Lumber ing and shipping, the mainstays of Ta coma and Seattle, are on the upward trend. Payrolls are fatter than they have been for several years and money is freer than ever. One obstacle in the pathway of finan cially successful baseball in Tacoma and Seattle is the love of outdoor games which may be participated in by both men and women. Golf and ten nis have a tremendous hold. In Ta coma alone five golf courses are sup ported. President Farr, of the Spokane club. and Manager Nick Williams believe that the Inland Empire city is ready to support good baseball. It breaks the long jump from Puget Sound to Mon tana. Conditions in Butte and Great Falls are ideal to make money. Each team has an aggressive manager and an in side park. Butte has approximately 30,000 men employed about Its mines, railroads, concentrators and smelters. These workmen are earning not less than 4.25 a day and many of them up to $7. Miners have the sporting blood and if Joe McGinnity gathers together a team of scrapping Irishmen nothing can stop him. One drawback to league ball in Butte prior to this time has been horse racing. When the game flourished there it was no uncommon occurrence to see 20,000 persons at the track. Great Falls, while not as large, is as good. Its smelter, refinery and power plants are running full blast and it is the metropolis of a wealthy empire. If Bill Hurley gets off on the right foot there, he has a rich field. 'I think that Tacoma and Seattle will be good, Vancouver will pull Bob Brown through, Spokane will be a power and Butte and Great Falls will be winners financially," said Hall to day. BOXERS MEET If! BOSTON NATIONAL AMATEUR CHAMPION SHIP CONTESTS ARE OPENED. Tout Vatlan, In 115-Ponnd Class, . and Adolph Kaufman, at 158 Pounds, Defend Titles. BOSTON, April 3.

Adolph Kaufman, of Brooklyn, title holder in the 158-pound class, entered the. semi-finals without opposition. Canadian and Kansas City boxers made the best showing of the out-of- town entrants. The feature of the night was in the 115-pound class '-when John Perry, of this city, and Joseph Cheulier, of Montreal, stood toe to toe and swapped punches for three rounds before Perry won the decision. By dls posing of F. Meyers, of the Union Set tlement Athletic Club of New York, in one round in the 145-pound class Roy Helton, of Kansas City, scored his eighth consecutive knockout. Most of the bouts went the usual three rounds limit. WERSCHKUU AT TEXXIS Phil Neer AVlns Championship in First Division at Washington.

PINCH PITCHER UNIQUE CA It RIG AN, OF RED SOX, HAS ONLY ONE IN CAPTIVITY, Carl Mays, of Portland, In Strange Role With Boston Americans, and Ili Ability to Stop Rallies Is Great. Manager Bill Carripran of the Boston club, who by his skillful handling of that team won Boston another pennant and world's series, handled his pitch ers a bit different than has been cus tomary with most leaders. Every club has its pinch hitter, whose main duty is to try to come through with a base knock in the emergency. While Oar rigan has his pinch hitter in Hon rickson, he also differed from other managers in that he aiso had his pint'h pitcher. On the Boston club last year was a youngster by name Carl Mays, a Port land. Or., boy. On a good many bis league teams he would have been tak ing his regular turn on the rubber. Because he had an abundance of pitch ing material, Carrigan early discovered a use to which .Mays showed to (Treat advantage. Most of Boston's pitching was done by five men. Foster, Shore, Leonard, Rutli and Wood. In fact, four men were worked pretty regular. While Wood was going good Leonard was suffering from a bad arm. Just about the time Wood began to fail, Leonard had regained his best form. It was Carrigan's idea that he could get better results if he used his four regulars as little as possible as rescue pitchers. To bring about that end. it was the duty of Mays to take his daily place in the "bull pen" and keep him self in readiness to go to the relief of any faltering pitcher. Mays had a position in baseball much out of the ordinary, and incidentally when he went to the relief of a pitcher he had an assortment out of the ordi nary to offer. Mays is one of the few pitchers of the big league with an underhand delivery. Batters who had been taking liberties with the south paws and right-handers of the Boston staff saw something different when Mays went to the rubber, and the bic blond heaver nipped many a rally in the bud with his peculiar style of serv ing them up.
