(Continued From First Page.) rampage that ended in victory for the Portland fusileers. As first man at bat he picked on the second pitched ball and drove it far out into center field against the high board , fence. Before Ping Bodie could retrieve it Guisto was Jerry Downs promptly made himself as popular as rat poison by playing butter-fingers on a grounder off Fish er's bat. and. Guisto raced homeward with his second run of the afternoon. - Stumpfs two-base hit into left field moved Fisher around to third, and a walk to Ward filled the bases with nobody out This was the situation when Irve Higginbotham went to bat and hit a Kcreaming liner along the right-field foul line, scoring two runners and tying the game. Baum Gets His Next. Manager Wolverton thereupon de cided it was high time to summon Mr. Steen to the clubhouse for his evening ablutions. Charles ("Honkus") Baum took his place on the hurling' mound. Baum walked "Wilie. the first to face him, and again the bases were loaded with nervous and prancing ath- letes. Bobby Vaughn, who played, a brilliant game at second base, added to Baum's woes by singling cleanly to center, sending Chuck Ward home with 1.11,3 Wllllllll. X CglOLI .klUlli f Higginbotham sank his spikes Into the home plate a moment later when Baum again wobbled slightly and gave Bill Speas free transportation to first - base. The bases were full at the time. In this same inning Wilie tried to score from third after a fly to right field by Southworth, but Justin Fitz gerald cut him down dead, at the home plate on a brilliant throw from the sun garden. There was no further scoring- on . either side after this flamboyant sev enth stanza. IliKB DiKpones of Pinch Hitters. Higginbotham walked the first bats man in the ninth inning Curley Brown, a pinch hitter but he showed his mettle by disposing of two other of the pinch specie as nonchalantly as though he were ordering a pound of liverwurst for his pet poodle. Hap Myers, one of these pinch bats men, flied weakly to Vaughn, and the other. His Nibs Wolverton himself, fanned the air vainly for three con- D.nntiva , in n onH Vi&n tnnlf that lnnc and monotonous walk from the home plate to the bench. Gus Fisher was not expected to be in shape to enter the opening game, but it would have required a team of Fin pino yaks to have kept him oh .the bench. Gus was up to the wee sma' hours with his lame arm under a high- . voltage lamp, and, while he could hardly throw to the bases, he asked to ' be allowed to play, and caught a dandy game. While Fisher's presence strengthened the . team in that quarter, one of the other important cogs in Manager Mc Credie's machine Billy "Nixon had to retire early in the milling as a result of an injury sustained in the final game against the negroes at Sacra mento. Bill Speas took his place in right field. the weather was fine. Mayor liolph pitched the first ball, a strike, by . Jiminy, and the Chief of Police caught. Both will be in the movies in another 24 hours. Harstad will pitch for Portland to morrow against either Perritt or' Fan ning. The score: r Portland baa Francisc B H OAK B H A E Wilie, m. . Vaughn,-.

The game opened without ceremony. other than a street parade of the Salt , Lake Rotary Club, automobiles, led by a band, immediately preceding the frame. The weather was cool but fair and the grounds were in good condition for so early in the season. Fittery pitched a steady and consis tent game, with good support, and was never in danger after the fifth inning, when Brief hit one over the - leftfield fence, with two men on bases.

LOS ANGELES, April 4. Los Argeles defeated Vernon today In the opening game of the baseball season, 5 to 2. More than 16.000 fans witnessed the contest. The crowd overflowed on the field, and ground rules were necessary. Manager Frank L. Chance, of the An gels, was ordered off the field in the seventh inning by Umpire Held, when he vigorously dispuated the latter's de cision in calling Alaggart out at home on a close play. Los Angeles opened the scoring, reg istering one in the second on singles try McLirr and Ellis. The Tigers made their only scores in the fourth. Bates doubled, Mattick hit an infield grounder and was safe when Fischer attempted to catch Bates. Gleichmann forced Mattick at second and. Bates took third. Bates scored on a double steal, and Gleichmann , followed him home when Boles threw wild to third. Four singles, a double- and a wild pitch gave the Angels three in their half of the fourth, and they added an other 4n the seventh.

The Chicago Negro Giants doled out a 11-0 drubbing to the varsity this afternon on the Univer sity diamond.. It was a slugfest for the visitors from start to finish, with the varsity having a look-in for thre measly hits, two by McLean and one by Sheehy. Dick Nelson, of no-hit, no run fame in the first game of the sea son against Chemawa, was started to day by Bezdek against the dusky vis itors. ' He was derricked in the fourth, after he had been nicked for 10 healthy hits. The big fellow was nervous to start with, and could not master his control. His place was taken by "Scoop" Rath bun, who was touched up for three hits, one of these a long homer by "Home-run" Grant. This long hit of the afternon came in the seventh, and was a pretty fly over the left fielder's head. Grant was the star, of the after noon for the Giants. Woods was on the mound for the Giants and retired nine of the Oregon men by strikeouts. Only once did he wobble. That was in the seventh, but he settled down strong. The defense of the Oregon team was decidedly brittle, especially with men on bases. From now on Bezdek will work toward bolstering up the weak spots and developing a strong offense. The "pony" infield worked fairly well. Grebe, on second, failed to come up to his fielding standard, being the chief contributor to the error column. Mc Lean was the hitting star for the Ore gon team, bingling safely twice. This is his first year on the first team, last year being the star of the interfra- ternity series of baseball games. The game today was decidedly slow, but the playing of the Oregon team was fairly consistent. It was simply a case of "too much on the ball," and the varsity was unable to cope with the big-league caliber dished up by the Giants.

M'CREDIE was the happiest man in town yesterday J afternoon after getting the returns from San Francisco. He immediately joined the "I-told-you-so" club. . v Judge McCredie has not as yet de cided what time the games will start in Portland this season. There are many arguments presented by differ ent persons for 3. 3:15 and 3:30 o'clock. Walter McCredie is in favor of starting at 3. The president of the club, how ever, is rather in favor of starting the week-day games at 3:15 so that" the fans who work until 3 on Saturday afternoon will have enough time to hurry to Recreation Park. The president of the Coast League leaves this matter up to the owner in each city so as to please the home fans. The local magnate will announce the time of starting within a few days. The Sunday games will start at 2:30 as usual. When there are double-headers on the bill they will start at 1:30. There will be absolutely no Sunday-morning contests. Box seats for the opening Coast League game here April 18 were last night placed on sale at Edwards' cigar store. Sixth and Washington streets. General admittance tickets will be on sale next Monday. Lyle Bigbee, pitcher, and Carson Bigbee, infielder, the Eugene lads who were trying out with the Beavers at Sacramento, have a'ceepted the Tacoma i Northwestern League offer and passed through Portland last night from Eu gene to Tacoma to report to Manager Russ Hall. Al Bartholemy, the crack Portland youngster whom Walt Mo Credie says is one of the best receivers on the Coast, left yesterday afternoon for the same city. The crack battery of the Piedmont Maroons, of the City League, last sea son will be with the Tacoma team this season. Jude Moreland is the pitcher who was sent td the Tigers for season ing from the Salt Lake club after con ditioning with them at Modesto, Cal. Bartholemy is the catcher and the two are liable to cut some figure In the Northwestern circuit. . Twelve more days and the Beaveral will be home. There are 22 Oaks In Salt Lake, in cluding Manager Rowdy Elliott. Here are. the new faces with the Oaks: Mai Barry is seen at first in stead of Jack Hess, Bill Kenworthy is at second instead of Lil Marcan, Jap Barbeau is at third instead of Lou Litschi, Bobby . Davis, the former Beaver, ie at short in the place of Art Guest: Willie Zimmerman is cavorting in center field in place of Jimmy John ston and Dave Griffith will be behind the bat as Rowdy Elliott's running: mate instead of "Red" Kuhn. f Well, Guisto didn't prove a flivver in the opener. ' v Before Catcher Al Bartholemy de parted for Tacoma yesterdhy afternoon he was asked his opinion of Louis Guisto. "He is a huge giant, smart as a whip and if he proves not to be as good as heralded I will be the most dis appointed fellow in the country," said "Chubby A." . "Everyone in camp is taking a big interest in the big fellow, and, you mark my word, he'll be in the big brush next Spring or sooner." Most of the last year s heavers are still with the Oaks. In addition there is a long string of new ones. Local fans will recall "Dutch" Kiawitter, Shotputter Pruiett. Clint Prough, Sammy Beer and Ray Boyd. Along with them Elliott has Martin, Klein, Chabek, Manser and White. Williams Hits Homer for Cubs. SHREVEPORT, La., April 4.

CLOUTS ARE MIGHTY ONES Seal Infield Appears Wobbly in Opening: Game McCredlo Is sues Orders to His Men Not to Bait Umpires. SAN FRANCISCO, April 4. (Special.) Louis Guisto is the talk of the town tonight. If San Francisco Bay were to fill up with grape juice this sensa tional St. Mary's athlete would still monopolize) the tongue wagging. He played like a fiend, and if he does not spoil under flattery it is generally ac knowledged even on snap judgment that he will be in the big leagues within another Spring. Guisto deserved three hits instead of two. He hit his home run on the first pitched ball and when he again faced Bill Steen he whacked the first pitched Dall on a dead line to the left field. Had It been ten feet either way. it would have been a two-bagger, for it shot out like a rifle bullet. Sehaller pulled It down as 15,000 hearts were strenuously striving to see open air. San Francisco's infield appeared de cidedly weak today. Neither Gay nor Bohne secured a hit, and Bohne dis played a touch of nervousness by throwing the first hit ball several rods over First Baseman Autrey's cranium. This allowed Wilie. to go safe at first. Captain Vaughn bunted him down to seoond. He reached third base on Nixon's grounder, but went to seed on Southworth's fly to left, but Jerry Downs proved the real goat of the day. Downs inserted a couple of costly errors in pinches, and the bugs arc crowning him with thorns along sport Rialto tonight. Manager McCredie gave his boys a rousing talk in his rooms at the Con tinetnal Hotel before sending them out in the parade. He told them to lay oft the umpires. "Play hard, fast ball and fight for everything that is right but I want no umpire baiting on my ball clubs," ordered the big Portland manager. Bobby Vaughn was officially named captain at this meeting. In the first inning with two out and Autrey on second base, McCredie came out of his sarcophagus and ordered Koyes to walk Bodie. His judgment was vindicated. Downs drove a grounder over Second which Ward scooped and tossed to Vaughn for a force out. HIKER ENDS 8152-MILE WALK Robert Burns Now AVants to Go Across Country at Dog Trot. Robert Burns, of Eureka, Cal., who! has some reputation as a hiker, ar- 1 rived in Portland yesterday morning. He has just completed an 8152-mile walk from California to New York and return, he said. He made the trip in 80 days going and 85 days returning. The closest other record was made by William Bayson Weston in 112 days one way, it is said. Burns started from San Francisco May 23, 1915, reached New York Sep tember 21, 1915. He It't New York October 1, 1915, and reached Los An geles January 20, 1916. Since then he started a tour of the world on a bicy cle, starting without any money from Santa Rosa, Cal. He intended to write a book when his journey was ended. The idea was not to his liking after he started, for he ditched the bicycle and came on foot into Portland. He says he is dickering -with the Portland A9d Club in an effort to have them engage him to "dog trot" to New York and back advertising Portland on the way. Burns is brown as a berry, and says he enjoys the hiking game. AVIMiAMETTE SEASON IS NEAR Salem Team to Play Two Games AVith Oregon Tills AVeek. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem. Or.. April 4. (Special.)
