Yesterday's Results.
No games played, traveling day.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 10. (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.
Unless the weather changes for the
better the opening baseball game of the
Portland Interscholastic League be
tween! Franklin High and Benson Tech,
Elated for this afternoon, will not be
played on Multnomah Field. Dow V.
Walker, superintendent of the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club, was
looking over the grounds last night,
and if no more rains come before the
start of the game at 3:15 this after
noon it will be staged.
Because of the inclement weather
yesterday the jpaches of the two
aggregations foud it difficult to get
the final outdoor workout. Ed Rankin,
who has been the official umpire for
the Portland Interscholastic League, in
all probability will work the contest.

HARVARD BEATS RED SOX, 1-0
Faulty Fielding of World Cham
pions Gives Game to Collegians.
BOSTON, April 10. 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.

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.

BROOKS 2, MOUNT ANGEL 1
Collegians Lose Game on Slow Field
Before Large Crowd.
BROOKS. Or., April 10. (Special.)
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. Figures in Baseball suits,
photographs of the players on the
team, Portland pennants, souvenirs of
the diamond or anything calculated to
arouse interest in opening day, may be
utilized to advantage in such displays.
Let's keep Portland on the baseball
map!

OLYMPIC GAMES OFF
Resumption in 1920, How
ever, Is Being Proposed.
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."
Asked if he thought it likely that
the sportsmen of the entente allied
countries would be willing to compete
with Germans and A usiro-Hunearians
in 1929, Baron De Coubert in" said:
"It is impossible to say what the
state of international feeling will , be
four years hence. It is possible that
Germans and Austrians may not be in
vited to participate.
