SAN FRANCISCO. April 13. (Spe
cial.) One week late as regards Coast
League history for 1916. but with far
more enthusiasm than was recorded
at Recreation Park in San Francisco,
Oakland celebrated its official opening
of the season a ceremony postponed
for seven days because their own
heroes were far away.
Thirteen thousand fans, boosting for
Rowdy Elliott's white-suited ball
players, lammed the grandstand until
it wouldhold no more; crammed the
bleacher sections until space was a
minus quantity and then took the best
there was in way of ground room and
applauded to the echo as the Oaks
ranged their way through not one but
three of the wobbling Portland pitch
ers Harstad, Sothoron and Clark.
Beaver Rally Scores five.
From an Oakland standpoint it was
an ideal ball game, right up to the
ninth. Then matters took a. turn for
the worse. The fielders played deep
instead of hugging the bags, and the
Beavers spoiled not a. victory, but a
clean-cut win, such as was coming to
'young Martin. Five northern runners
crossed the paths where not a man had
set foot in innings gone by and the
Oaks with their thousands of admir
ers had to rest satisfied with a 13 to
6 win instead of the shutout they
should have delivered.
For eight innings, Speed Martin, the
boyish-looking lad who- was no more
than a high school product a short
time ago. had heaved well-nigh per
fectbaseball. Aside from a slight un
steadiness in the first inning, which
was over with no more than a walk,
he held the Portlanders to just three
hits and was never in particular dan
ger. Just one man had gone as far as sec
ond base, and there was little mor
than a half dozen to tag in safety the
first-base cushion.
Oaks Score Baker's Dozen.
Meanwhile the Oaks had been piling
up the ecore. One run here, three there,
four in another spot and bunches of
twos, had given the home talent, all
told, a baker's dozen tallies
Nixon, the first man up in the ninth,
f rounded to Barbeau and was thrown
out at first. Captain Vaughn sent the
sphere whirling in the same direction.
Barbeau, a trifle too far back, didn't
gather in time and the Beaver leader
was safe.
It seemed the signal for a rally.
Pouthworth doubled to right, with
Zimmerman out of position on the ball,
and after that came the deluge, for
Vaughn had scurried for the plate.
Five stolen bases in the Inning, pure
gifts, and five hits, with three of them
doubles for Southworth, Catcher Roche
and Hollacher, entered into the situa
tion and by the time .the last man had
been retired there were five big rune,
all of them earned and charged against
the unblemished record of the novice,

BUTLER TO TRAIN TRAMBITAS
Expert to Instruct Boxer for His
Bout With Billy Wright.
Mike H. Butfter, veteran physical
director, has again taken Valley Tram
bitas under his wing and will prepare
him for his contest with Billy Wright
at the Hippodrome Athletic Club next
Tuesday. Butler thinks the world of
the battling Roumanian and says that
in him he can see a future shining
light. It was Butler who developed
Johnny Coulon, the former bantam
weight champ. Trambitas and Wright
are meeting at 158 pounds which both
will be well under.
"Muff" Bronson, who will tackle Leo
Houck. of Seattle, in the semi-windup
is working with Danny O'Brien at the
Rose City Athletic Club. The two
featherweights met at the club across
the river a month or so ago and the
Portland boy got the decision after six
rounds of hard milling. Bronson was
ill at the time and Houck said that he
was used to boxing four three-minute
rounds in Seattle and that the six two
minute cantos here affected his work.
The argument will be settled Tues
day night.
The Hippodrome Club has a classy
card. All members of both the Port
land and Salt Lake ball clubs will be
invited.

pitching burden. He did so well that
but two hits were recorded off his
delivery while his teammates registered
seven.

either wild or easy of solution by the

the last seven innings, was the best of
the lot, except in the sixth inning, when
Strunk and Oldring each doubled on
top of Cran's hit. The Athletica could
do nothing with Shore. Pennock. who
finished for Boston, was wild. Short

ball and failure to cover third base
proved the turning points of a twirl
ing duel between Tesreau and Mayer
today and New York defeated Phila
delphia. 2 to 0. Neither team was able
to score until the ninth inning, when
Doyle led off for New York with a
single.' Fletcher beat out a bunt and
when third base was left uncovered
Doyle raced there, drawing a throw
by Luderus. while Bancroft was hust
ling, for the bag. The ball went out
to left field and Doyle scored, while
Fletcher, who reached second on the
play, scored on Kauff's sacrifice and
Merkle's single. In each of two in
nings double plays prevented scoring.
