Walter McCredie trotted out a couple of nervous young fillies to do the pitch ing: against the Seals this afternoon and as a. natural consequence Portland's ball club receipted for a sound licking at the hands of the Ran Francisco pen xianters. The score was S to 4, almost a re Terse of tlie opening-day integers. San Francisco hesitated only long; enough in each inning for Messrs. Harstad and Clark either to walk a man or two or get themselves in a pitching hole and then the Seals rushed to the assault with heavy artillery. Portland's defense strove valiantly to ward off the impending disaster. Bobby Vaughn, at second base, launched two lightning double plays that apparently saved the day at psychological times, and Billy Southworth, in left, also fea tured in a double play to the home plate. But the boys couldn't stand the strain of runners prancing continually up and down the paths. Late in the game, with the game a total loss, even the doughty Vaughn fizzled in his field ing and ran up two miscues. Beaver Pile Up Karly Lead. Oscar Theander Harstad began the pitching job for Portland against that lean and cadaverous Texan, "Polly" Perritt. Both big right-handers were wild at the start. Portland, in fact, was leading the field by a 3-2 score as late as the last of the sixth inning. Then Harstad fell again into un steady ways, and this time there was no way his defense could ease him out of his trouble. Downs, as first man up for the Seals in the sixth, nearly knocked Stumpfs legs off with a sizzling sin gle through third. Harstad walked Bohne. Sepulveda singled on a line to right field, scoring Downs with the tying registration and sending Bohne around to third base. Perritt "squeezed" him home by laying down a neat bunt in front of the plate, and the Seals fin ished the inning with a 4-3 lead. Manager McCredie sent Jimmy Clark to the mound in the seventh stanza, and the former Vancouver twirler worked the last two innings. Clark was even wilder than his predecessor. He walked the first batter and allowed three men in a row to hit lustily, two scoring. Autrey was the recipient of the gratuity. Bohne doubled to center the youngster fielded very poorly to day but hit like a fiend whereupon Jeremiah Downs sent a line drive into safe territory in left field and scored both runners. Seals Increase Lead. Two more tallied in the eighth dur ing Clark's incumbency en a walk, two errors by Vaughn and a single to third by Autrey. With this 8-to-3 tally against them in the ninth, the Beavers staged an in cipient rally, but one run was the limit. Fisher singled to center, ad vanced to third on Bohne's cuff of a grounder and scored on pinch-hitter Haworth's infield out. A recapitulation of the day's score shows that the Seals amassed 11 hits as against six for the Beavers, and, besides, the Seals had nine men on the bags through wildness of the Portland flingers. Little wonder the hands that ap plauded the Beavers on opening day were manacled into impotence this crispy afternoon. Jerry Downs, red-headed Seal infield er, featured the bat fusillade with two singles and a two-bagger in four pil grimages from the playing bench. Ping Bodie and Sammy Bohne nicked two apiece. Gus Fisher ended the game with two notches on his hickory han dle, and Bobby Vaughn came through with a couple of the six safeties, one hit being rung up on a bunt to Perritt. Guisto Kails to Hit. Louis Gulsto faced "Pol" Perritt four times, but it was not in the deck for him to horn all the publicity for the week. Guisto looked good in there, despite his failure to hit safely. Two of his outs were line drives of those mile-per-minute variety you so often read about Guisto fielded fault lessly. By the way. the official scorer charged Guisto with an error on open ing day that belonged to Ward. The latter threw low on a grounder and Guisto's momentary juggling of the bounce caused, the scorer to tax him with the miscue. It should not have been. his. Reverting briefly to early inning de tails, Portland drew first blood by scoring one run in the initial inning. Wilie was hit by Perritt, advanced to third on Vaughn's beautiful hit-and-run shot between second and first bases and scored on Bohne's miscue at shortstop. Southworth Lets Ball Escape. San Francisco came back with two runs in the last half of f.he inning on a walk, Bodie's single and a double by Downs. Southworth also assisted to some extent by letting Bodie's drive escape between his legs. Portland tied the score in the second inning on a walk. Stumpf's two-bagger over Bodie's head and an infield out, and the Hackmen went ahead 3-2 in the fifth when Perritt walked Harstad and was crackedby Dennis Wilie for a two bagger to center field. ' This was the lay of the landscape : when Harstad staged his little ascen sion in the sixth inning. .The official figure on opening-day at tendance here was 13,084. and today the Baseball Statistics Bearer Batting Average.

Contest. Governor James Withycombe will pitch the first ball April 18, when the Beavers open up here, and Mayor II. K. Albee will attempt to catch it. This was announced last night by J. K. Wer lein. director-general of the Portland Baseball Boosters, who are pulling for an attendance of 20,000 opening day. Both officials are in favor of clean and wholesome sport and are staunch sup porters of baseball. Both the Governor and the Mayor have college records on the diamond and the state's chief executive has promised to make the first pitched ball a strike. If the Portland Baseball Boosters are successful in getting 20.000 persons in Recreation Park opening day they will smash the other Coast League cities' opening records to smithereens. There were 16,000 at San Francisco Tuesday, 16,212 at Los Angeles and 10,000 at Salt Lake. Booster Buttons Ready Saturday. The next meeting of the Boosters was scheduled for Friday noon at the Hotel Oregon, but has been postponed until Saturday at 12:15 o'clock, so that the Booster buttons will be ready. There have been many telephone calls from fans to the best-known boosters asking where the buttons can be ob tained. They will be on sale by Monday noon at various downtown business houses. Ray Barkhurst, chairman of the pa rade committee, announced last night that the parade would consist of five divisions, of about five blocks each. This will make the affair about a mile and one-half long. It- is planned to have the American flag predominate throughout the pro cession. E. S. Higginc, Harry Melby and W. T. Pangle compose a commit tee which is visiting the various large business houses endeavoring to have large banners emblematic of opening day placed on their wagons and auto mobile trucks for the three days pre ceding April 18. Bands to Dot Parade. The parade will start at 1 o'clock from Fourteenth and Yamhilf streets and wind up at Fifteenth and Burnside streets at 2. There will be three bands distributed among the procession. The Portland Automobile Club has promised to have every member pos sible in line with his car. No car will be permitted in the parade unless it is decorated. It is thought that more than 300 machines will turn out. Many automobile dealers have promised that they will have several cars loaded with fair fans and decorated elaborately. Each dealer has promised at least one new car, which assures the directors that one car of each make will be in the procession. Dr. W. O. Spencer, chairman of the membership committee, reports that the 2o00 Booster buttons will be sold before noon of the opening day. Picked Teams ot to Play. The idea of having two picked teams of political candidates play three in nings of exhibition ball before the Salt Lake and Portland teams take the field has been abandoned. This will permit tne coasters to start promptly at 3. Most of the boxes in the grandstand will be elaborately decorated. The Governor and the Mayor will sit together in prominent boxes, which will be decorated and will stand out prominently. With the officials will be their families and state and city offi cials. Fanning bees throughout the citv are now in session and every one seems to be getting the baseball fever. "Twenty thousand or bust," is the Boosters' Club slogan and if the weather man is kind this figure may be close to the correct one. Another Query. We've wondered how the pitcher feels when Ty Cobb goes to bat; W've asked you how the batter feels when Johnson starts to pitch ; And having put theae queries through we'vo let it go at that. Well knowing -what the odds were for a most extended hitch. But taking up the cases now of Evers and and of Zim, Another q uory reaches out across the busy chart. With raging lip and burning words and crimson-tinted glim. We wonder how tho umpire feels when John and Heinle start? COLONEL J. TINKER picked the Cubs to finish first and the Phillies to finish fifth. Whereat the Phillies stepped out and made it six straight from the foresaid Cubs. Not that these early Spring de tails have any great value, but enough at least has happened to make Colonel Tinker wonder whether or not he isn't entitled to one more guess This looks to be a bad year for flag predictions inasmuch as a ball club in either circuit will be able to put good stuff on display and then finish a merry sixth. And the club in sixth place may be only a bleak edge back of the winner so far as playing strength is con cerned. X o False Alarm. Benny Kauff may be a number of things, but he is no part of a false alarm. Benny started away with the greatest outburst of eloquence in baseball his tory, relating in advance his feats of valor. Then, getting away to a grogfry start where the average athlete would have been subdued, Kauff kept his head up and refused to waver in the slightest until the base hits began to pop. The extreme confidence that Benny has in himself may be over-exploited, but it is evidently sincere. It Is no part bluster. When the daily records begin to drift into Secretary John Heydler the ex-Fed will have his share of base hits and the rest of it. We'd like to see Benny make good to the last degree. He was a trifle boisterous in his self-praise, but at least he introduced a new element int6 affairs and added more than his share to the- general gayety of things. This in itself deserves a fitting reward. Two Years From Now. "It may be two years before they get Jess Willard back into the ring." Exchange. If they do it will not be into any 20 or 21 foot ring. .Nothing under a Cy GrAntand Rice 40-footer if Jess expects to turn around. The Federal League made one big mistake. It . should have grabbed Tex Rickard for an owner. Tex would have had second division clubs playing before 10.000 a day, with the gate receipts at $3 a throw. Any one who can entice over $150,001 for a ten round, no-decision boxing match is beyond the dope. The game holds no, hurdle that he can't take. "Give us Spring," the poet cried, "Spring and roses: Spring with flowers and dreams, Spring with posies." '"Give us Spring," the rooter cried. With a throb; "Spring with Speaker and with Kauff, Spring and Cobb." Both. Sir Which is the more important for a golfer to keep, his eye on the ball or for a prizefighter to keep his eye on the crowd until he has counted tip the last admission? This is not to settle a bet. but to establish a sport ing fact. EZRA. The Numbering; Stuff Aaraln. If Yale and Harvard are not to num ber their earnest athletes next Fall, then certainly Princeton and all other rivals should refrain from putting themselves under such an unfair handicap. Princeton for the last two seasons has worked under such a handicap, through her desire to meet a just request from the public which, pays most cf the bills. But there is no reason why Princeton should continue to give her two main rivals this advantage if they refuse to adopt the same custom. Either all, or none, should be numbered, to get a fair test. A Mere Detail, Perhaps. We are told that numbering the players only benefits sporting writers, and that, any way. football is played for the benefit of the team and uni versity students not for the public. On the day of a big game the 50,000 who are not university students and who pay ?2 per total $100,000 are a mere detail, of course. There are many queer and quaint drifts to human nature. The newspaper that is leading an assault on boxing was the one that paid Jess Willard, the heavyweight cRampion. $26,000 a year for articles that helped to boost the boxing profession: - Another queer drift is a sporting regime that pays Jess Willard $51,000 for 30 minutes' stuff and Ty Cobb $15, 000 for 154 appearances at two hours each. BEAVERS GET PITCHER CLGVEUND SENDS COLL AM ORE TO COAST LEAGIE. New S Inhaler's Record in Last Two Years in American League and As sociation Not Brilliant Word was received from Cleveland last night that Al Collamore. pitcher of the Cleveland American League club, had been sent to Portland to join the Portland Coast League pitching staff. Collamore has been in training with the Cleveland Indians at New Orleans. The Portland recruit has been in ma jor league or Class AA ball all of the last two years. In 1914 he was with the Cleveland Americans, winning three games and losing seven, with a pitch ing record which was far from im pressive. Last season he was retained by Cleveland, with whom he won two games and lost five before being shipped to the Cleveland American As sociation, Spiders, where he failed to do much better With the American League club last year, Collamore, in 11 games, allowed an average of 2.38 earned runs per game. In his 64 1-3 innings he fanned 15 men, walked 22, hit none and fielded .963. His batting average was .174. After going to the American Associa tion club, Collamore seemed to lose ef fectiveness. He allowed an average of 3.58 earned runs a game in 31 contests, pitching 196- innings to 753 batsmen. He won 10 games and lost 13 for the Class AA club. Here his fielding aver age was .908 and his batting average .157. In his 31 games he struck out 72 men and passed 71 and hit 10.

Smith Thinks Port land Team Is Experiment, With Pitchers Weak. GUISTO FAILS TO IMPRESS Expert Quotes Biff Schallcr's "Dcy All Look Good iu De Spring." Vaughn and East Out field Best Assets. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, April 5. (Special.) With so much youthful blood in the lineup, the Portland team is more or less an experiment, as it stands today, and there is no telling where it will wind up in the pennantvrace practically just started. Candor compels the state ment that McCredio's bunch looks far and away better than the Seal aggrega tion, but that isn't saying much. To, pick directly at a vital point, the issue with McCredie would appear to be his pitching staff. He has sev eral men On his staff with good repu tations, but reputation and results are different things, as has often been demonstrated. Of the four men we have so far seen in action Noyes, Hlggin botham, Harstad and Clark Higg, the veteran, looks by far the best. Lush, naturally, when he rounds into form, should produce many a winning game; but the others are more or less a gam ble. Guisto Not Rated Iflgh. Personally I am not so enthusiastic over Guisto, tho hard-hitting first sacker, as the Portland war corres pondents. As Biff Schaller once re marked, "Dey all dook good in de Spring." The question is whether Guisto will be able to hit curves with the same facility that he has banged straight fast ones. Against Perritt this afternoon the St. Mary's man was more or less helpless and he is going to face a lot of the same sort of pitch ing. Guisto may be a find, but it will have to be out of the ordinary if he develops all in one short Spring train ing season. Vaughn at second seems to be a cork ing good man, and the chances are Mc Credie will find him mighty valuable before the pennant race is well under way. Ward at short ought to be well up with the other shert fielders of the league, but Stumpf can hardly be ranked as more than an ordinary third saeker. Outfield Seems Strong. The outfield seems to figure the strongest asset of the Beavers. "Nixon, in the short time we had a chance to look him over: Southworth and Wilie are all fast and apparently good hit ters, although batting strength is more readily determined after ,a month of work. So far as the catchers are concerned, Gus Fisher is handicaped just at pres ent by a bad arm, "but when ho gets over that little difficulty he ought to make a first-string backstop, and a good one. From reading of the teams around the circuit and perusing the box scores, without any desire to appear pessim istic, the writer is inclined to rank both San Francisco and Portland in the sec ond division, unless there are some changes scheduled soon. Did You Know! THAT in the game of July 19 of last season, between Washington and Cleveland, the former club stole eight bases in the opening game? It would seem from such a performance that the catcher was having a bad day of it, but, on the contrary, it was the pitchet who was mostly responsible, since he gave the runners such a big lead that in most cases the catcher never had a chance to make a play. Of course, Washington won the game. That Ray Caldwell, the crack pitcher of the New York Americans, om suc cessive days, while acting as pinch hitter, drove the ball into the right field stands at the Polo Grounds for a home run? The day following these two successive feats he took his turn as pitcher, and in that game managed to crack out another circuit drive. Caldwell's performances in these three games were not flukes, for he is re garded as one of the best-hitting pitch ers ir the game. That Larry Doyle's batting average of .320, which won for him the league leadership in the National last season, was the smallest figure to ever take down that honor? In the American league the lowest average to take down the honor was .324, by Ty Cobb in 1908. Last year was evidently an unusual one for baseball in more-ways than one, for Max Carey, with 36 stolen bases., led the National League in that department of the game, which is about half the bases ordinarily stolen by a league leader. That Jack Ness, who will get a chance to show at first base for the Cfiieago White Sox this year, broke a record in 1915 for consecutive hitting? Playing for Oakland in the Pacific Coast League, Ness went 45 straight games in which he made one or more hits. He started his batting streak May 31 and ended it July 21. In that time he made SI hits, 23 of them being for extra bases. The major league record for such a feat is held by Ty Cobb, who in 1911 went from May 13 to July 2, a run of 40 straight games, in .which he hit safely at least once. In that time Cobb connected for 80 hits, an average of two a game. That Pitcher Meyers, who Jumped into the spotlight late in the season by pitching a two-hit game against Wash ington in his American League debut, led the North Carolina League in strike-outs last year with 268? In the game against Washington. Myers proved conclusively that he had some thing on the ball that would baffle big leaguers as well as bushers, for he struck out 10 Washington players. The game resulted in a 4-to-0 shutout for the Athletics. Connie Mack has great hopes for Myers, as he figures he is a star in the rough, and that he isn't very rough, at that.

You can't cure catarrh by greasing your nose. Take S. S. S. regularly and you will drive catarrhal poisons out of your blood. The membranes will soon recover and no longer con tinue to accumulate the mucous that gathers and thickens into catarrh. S. S. S. stimulates the cells of the tis sues to select from the blood their own essential nutriment. Rapid recovery from catarrhal inflamation in the stom ach, kidney, bladder and ' all mem branes is the result. MALARIA. Throughout the country, wherever malaria abounds, are happv, joyful Seople to whom S. S. S. has given won erful help in the treatment of mala ria after the most sickening torture imaginable. The gaunt complexion of malaria's Tictims, the chills and fever, the ma larial dysentery that seems to defy all other treatment.'the malarial leg, the enlarged liver, the persistent anemia where the blood turns to water and the system wastes away. These are the conditions that S. S. S. so effectu ally asissts in overcoming, by helping to restore the blood to its natural vigor. STUBBORN SORES Sometimes a sore spot becomes indo lent. The tissues surrounding it lose tone and are unable to provide suffi cient nutriment to stop the drain. It is then chronic. Just saturate vour blood with S. S. S. This is quickly accomplished, as S. S. S. is naturallv assimilated the same as milk or any other healthful liquid. Nature acts with marvelous rapiditv when given the proper assistance, and S. S.
