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.

Bates Is Star for Vernon Team
Which loses Opener, 5 to 2.
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. Score-

M'LEAN IS VARSITY STAR
Yonng Player Makes Two of Three
Hits ' for His Team Nelson
Battered Hard, but "Scoop"
Rathbtfn Hoes Better.
UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, Eugene,
April 4. (Special.) 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. Score:

Coast League Note
JUDGE W. AV. 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.

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

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,

Facts
GET the facts on the operating cost
before you buy any automobile.
Find out the truth" before not
after. And don't be satisfied with hear
say or a salesman's claims. The. price of
gasoline is high; so is oil and there is sure
to be an increase in the cost of all tires.
So, what you want is the car that will
give you most miles per gallon of gasoline,
per gallon of oil and per set of tires.
Here are the facts proved by the Max
well' stock touring car that recently set the
World's Motor Non-Stop Record:
Maxwell World's Non-Stop Record Facts
Miles without a motor stop .22,023
Average miles per day (44 days) 500.6
Miles per gallon of gasoline 21.88
Miles per gallon of oil 400
Average miles per tire 9,871
Remember that this was a Non-Stop
Endurance Record in order to prove that
the Maxwell car was exceedingly sturdy,
reliable and trouble proof.
No attempt was made or could be made
to save gasoline, oil or tires. So these fig
ures merely indicate what would be possible
under ordinary driving conditions.
Right now we have a Maxwell we can
deliver to you, and if you don't want to
pay cash, make a deposit and pay the
balance as you use the car. But don't put
it off. We know the Maxwell factory, can't
get half enough freight cars to carry their
doubled output. Later on we may not
be able to supply you. But we can
NOW. Better phone us for a demonstra
tion today.
