(Spe cial.) Walter McCredie does not pro fess to be discouraged because the Bea vers -were trimmed in the first series. The Portland leader has been handi capped with a pitching- staff that is far from being in the best of shape and he is planning on strengthening up in that department. "Little can be told of the players' abilities until the first month of the season has passed," said HcCredle to day. "The pitchers are not right as yet and the batters are on a rampage. Just as soon as the hurlers settle down we will likely see closer games in which the players will be put more to the test. Satisfaction la Eiprmned. "I am satisfied with the Beavers. My players are showing the right spirit and are in there hustling every minute. This boy Guisto is proving a sensa tion and when Nixon's injured shoul der gets all right the big first packer will have plenty of assistance in the slugging line. "The Beavers have not started as yet. but when we do we will make a good showing." To McCredie have been promised a couple of hurlers by the St. Louis Amer icans. Al Callamore. the Cleveland pitcher, is expected to join the team any day, and that will help out ma terially. Lush, the southpaw, is round ing into form. Lush's slowness in get ting started was a severe blow, for he Is usually good for two games a week. Improvement In Qulato Noted. The performance of Louis Guisto, the Ft. Mary's boy, more than offset the failings o'f the pitchers. Four home runs in one week is certainly a record for a youngster to establish in making his debut in class AA baseball. The thing that encourages McCredie most is that the Napa lad is improv ing right along. This would indicate that he has not reached his limit yet, all of which is bad news for the pitch ers around the circuit. Guisto is a follow who makes his hits count. The other new Beavers showed up well. Vaughn at second and the trio of midget outfielders loom up well. Ward at short has not been hitting enough for McCredie, but he will likely get-going with more work. BASEBALL BOOSTERS TO MEET Chairmen of Committees to Mako Reports at Gathering Today. Eirector-in-Chief Ed Wertein, of the Portland Baseball Boosters' Club, has issued orders for chairmen of the com mittees to make reports at the regular meeting of the club today at noon in the orange room of the Oregon Hotel. The meeting is open to all interested in having "20,000 for an opener." Ex tensive preparations are being made to have a long parade preceding the Salt Lake-Portland game at Vaughn-streef grounds next Tuesday afternoon. James J. Kichardson, one of the 33d degree fans, yesterday afternoon sent two dozen booster buttons to the mem bers of the Portland squad at Oakland this week. They will be worn in the parade next Tuesday afternoon. No official report has been made by Er. W. O. Spencer, chairman of the button committee, but an estimate has been made that more than 500 badges have been disposed of and three times that many promised, so that it begins to look as if every one of the 2500 reserved seats of the Portland Baseball Boosters will be taken up on the day of the opening contest. BEAVERS PLAY OAKS TODAY Lane, Barry and Martin Are Man ager Elliott's Bright Lights. SAN FRANCISCO. April 10. (Spe cial.) Manager Rowdy Elliott tele graphed to Oakland baseball head quarters today that he will arrive with 21 players this morning to cross bats with the Beavers. The bright spots in the Oakland ranks have been the high-class ar.d unexpected playing of young Bill Lane in center, the heavy hitting of Mai Barry, the new first-sacker, and the pitching of Speed Martin, the Oakland recruit. Zimmerman was figured on as Jimmy Johnston's successor in center, but Lane, who is a recruit from the Northern League, jumped right in and delivered. All the players are in good shape with the exception of Davis, who has a bad finger. Berg has been filling in and proved a handy substitute to have around. The attendance and enthu siasm at Salt Lake has been remark able, according to word sent by Secre tary Jack Cook. SCHOOL GAME MAY BE PUT OFF Franklin Xot to Play Benson Teeli Today if Rain Continues.

The world cham pion Boston Americans were defeated by the Harvard University nine today, 1 to 0. Fielding form decided the game, the Red Sox erring frequently, while the Crimson fielded without a flaw. Batting honors were about even. Walker, who played center field for the Red Sox in place of Speaker, made one single in his four times at bat. The Crimson run was due to Gardner's error, Harte's and Knowles' infield rap, which was safe because of slow fielding. Albany Gun Club Shoot Held. ALBANY, Or., April 10. (Special.) Percy A.

"Whit-ey" Campbell Al Sommers gets his chance tonight to make a name for himself. If he can win a decision over "Fighting Billy" Murray he will he in line for some first-class encounters. Sommers recently got a draw with Billy Weeks, the Canadian champion, at Centralia, Wash. Sid Mitchell, the Seattle middle, turned the same trick with Weeks at Seattle last Friday. The boys will weigh in at 158 pounds. The card will be held tonight by the Rose City Athletic Club, East First and East Morrison streets, as the head liner of what should prove to be an interesting programme. Dannie O'Brien and Walter Knowlton will hook up in a return engagement for the champion ship of the city. Howe to Box Sammy Cordon. Jimmy Howe, the little Chinese, will make his first appearance here in about six months. Sammy Gordon, brother of Abe and a coming youngster, has been selected as his opponent. Roscoe Taylor, the veteran Tacoma miller, is likely to come within an ace of stop ping Jack Wagner. Tommy Clark, who always gives the fans a run for their money, will clash with Alurray Scott, a Fort Stevens sol dier whom Frank Parslow put to sleep a while back at Astoria. It is said that Scott is a game lad, however, and he gave Parslow considerable weight in their meeting. Another setup has been obtained for George Sommers, the hard - hitting young brother of Al. "Whitey Camp bell is his name, and he should be barred from appearing, for he doesn't know anything about the padded mitt game, and invariably takes a beating after rushing his opponent for a round or two. CWrnnt Chosen to Referee. Jack Grant was selected as referee of the three main starts only after Billy Murray had insisted. It seems that some of Sommers friends wanted Jack Helser to officiate in the main event. It is said that Murray didn't seem to want to take a chance of the con test being called a draw if he had an edge. In the opinion of many close ob servers Helser has a habit of calling matches draws where one participant has quite a lead. It is alleged that Jack don't relish deciding against a boy if he is strong at the finish, but outpointed. The selection of Grant to referee the three main bouts will meet with the approval of the fans. Jockey Bennett will act as the -third man in the ring in the three preliminaries. F.

Mount Angel College baseball team lost to the Brooks nine here today bv the score of 2 to 1. The diamond was a little slow, but the large crowd was satisfied with the style of play in the opening game of the year here. Mount Angel used Pitcher Sohler and Catcher Chapel, while Brooks had Williams in the box and Fred Moison and Gill al ternately as backstops. Cye Moison, who successfully man aged the 1915 aggregation, is handling the present squad for Brooks, and he has arranged a game with the Harrl man club, of Portland, Or., for a week from Sunday on the Brooks grounds. Coast League Gossip. WORD from Ogden, Utah, is that Mrs. Jones is being permitted to sit up for a little while each day. Mrs. Jones is the wife of the popular Ducky Jones, Seal third baseman, who a couple of weeks ago gave a quart of blood in a transfusion operation which un doubtedly saved Mrs. Jones' life. All games at Salt Lake are be ginning at 2:30 o'clock. Red Kuhn is catching nice ball for Salt Lake. Blank might have ob tained a star cheap. Paul Meloan, former Tiger and last season with San Francisco, has closed with the Des Moines club. Meloan has been working on a farm all Winter and is said to be in excellent condition. a Hallinan, Salt Lake third Backer, has a bit of a kink in his arm. This accounts for some of Eddie's erratic pegging of late. The ailment Is not serious. Lloyd Ramey, former Oakland and Salt Lake Union Association twlrler, may land a berth in the Central As sociation this son. Ramey formerly attended the Jiill Military Academy. He wrote a letter sometime ago to Wayne F. Lewis, secretary of the Inter City Baseball League, asking him to land him a job here and he would be glad to twirl semi-professional ball. Speed McDonnell, former Angel, who is wanted by Wichita, may not report. He balks because the club neglected to send him the adequate amount of trans portation. J. W. Beatty, the fast first baseman who went from Seattle to the Angels last season after which he sustained a broken arm is apparently out of base ball for keeps. He was released with four others the other day at Pine Bluffs, Ark., where he had been trying out with the Milwaukee club of the American Association. He was uncon ditionally released because he was un able to work well and an injury to his other arm three days before laid him up so that he would have been unable to play for a fortnight under any circumstances. Six more days and the Beavers will be home. "Twenty thousand for an opener!" m m To the Public Believing that a win ning team is an important asset to Port land and that public support will help as much as anything toward securing the pennant for Portland, merchants and business men of this city are urged to join us in making next Tuesday, April 18, a half holiday in honor of the opening game of the Portland ball club on its home grounds. Downtown merchants having window space at their command arc urgently requested to arrange displays at once calculated to interest the public in baseball.

ANTWERP'S OFFER DENIED Baron Conbertin, President of Inter national Committee, Says That Germans and Austriatis May Xot Be Invited to Compete. PARIS, April 10. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, president of the Interna tional Olympic games committee, an nounced today to the Associated Press that no Olpmpic games would he held during the present year or while the war lasted. He also supplemented the announcement with some interesting details. "Though there will be no Olympic games in 1916 or during the war." said the Baron, "preparations for the games in 1920 are being made so far as pos sible. Four cities already have ex pressed a desire to have the 1920 Olympic games held within their pre cincts, namely. Antwerp, Lyons, Am sterdam and Havana. "In the last-named capital." the Baron continued, "the application is about to be made or has been made to the Cuban Congress for 5,000,000 francs on account of the preliminary expenses alone. Antwerp already had signified a desire to have the games held there before the war. Since the outbreak of the war the city has repeated the re quest, and the Burgomaster has re ceived a letter from King Albert of Belgiam congratulating it on the fact. "The meeting of the international committee planned to be held at Venice has, of course, fallen through. and there will be no meeting of the committee till the war is over. "Baron De Blonay, the Swiss mem ber of the committee, to whom 1 have temporarily delegated executive au thority, has pointed out in the Swiss newspapers that if sports have been held in Berlin, as stated in the papers. they could not have been of interna tional character."
