On the eve of the opening of the Vernon series came an announcement from Walter McCredie last night that "Chuck" Ward would not be the reg ular shortstop of the Portland club this ea5on. Charley Hollacher will be used this ween against ine i wers, ana oy next Tuesday, when the Angels come north Mack expects to have a new infielder h"re ready for service.

"We need hitting strength, and Ward has not demonstrated hi capacity to whang the pellet." said Manager Mc Credie. "I sent two telegrams. Eastward today, and as th majors will begin cutting down on May 1, I should have little difficulty in obtaining a good man for either short or second." "Do you expect to get Rodger back from Cincinnati?" was asked. "Perhaps so." replied Manager Maek. "Cincinnati telegraphed Judge Mc Credie a day or two ago a.-king If he woiiM take him hack should he be re leaser!. Of course Cincinnati has not released him yet. hut if this comes to p.s we stand a good chance to get him. IMerr Haa Old Job Waitlas. "Rodders would he placed back at Ms old job at second and Captain Vaiinhn moved over to short, his reg ular position. Vaurhn always played short and third In -the International I.casrue. and he says he likes short better than second base. This one infield change and some st rcnu'tlening of the pitching corps would give Portland a real contender, in the opinion of Manager McCredie.

Omen Qainn Geta A'otlee. ' Owen Quinn has received his five days' notice of release, and when his time is up zip will go another $750 of the McCredie money. Qtiinn was drafted from Syracuse, of the l ew York State League, last Fall and was figured upon as the regular first baseman of the Bea vers. This was the general supposition until Louis Ouisto showed up in Spring camp with a war cluh as formidable as one of Krupp's 19 16 model Berthas. Ouisto immediately began "busting" into print, and there was no keeping him off the club. Several clubs in the West were after Quinn. but he refused to do business with anybody west of the Mississippi, lienee his outright release. Owen hopes to land a job with the Puffalo club, C'f the International League. Johnny Lush or Irve II igsrinbotham will twirl the opener ajrainst Vernon this afternoon. No word lias been re ceived from Manairer Patterson as to his assignment for the task. ItUHOLPJI AVILIIELM DKFEATEl) Howell Jones Makes 18 Holes in 77, Gruhs Lead in Class A.

OREGON NINE PREPARES WASHINGTON Kit I II A V Hll.l, HK MKT AM SATLRI1AY. i:rrrt l lletrlrtr Two Be feats In .North Will l!r Made By KuKrnr Team. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Kugene. April 24. (Special.) Realizing that the two defeats at the hands of the University of Washington has handi capped the varsity team as a contender for the Northwest intercollegiate cham pionship in baseball. Coach Hugo Bezdek is sending the men through stiff nightly practices in the hopes of making a clean sweep of all the re maining games. Washington will play the two re turn games here Friday and Sat urday of this week and on Monday and Tuesday of the following week Oregon Agricultural College will invade the local field. This means the varsity will play four games with the inter mission of Sunday for rest. In tonight's practice with the fresh men team, the varsity showed poorly, making costly errors and allowing the rirst-year men to scene freely. Bill Tiien k, pitching for the freshmen, and Scoop Kathuun. pitching for the varsity, were instructed to put all they had on the ball for the last hard work out before the conference games. Dick Nelson, the other moundman on whom the coach is relying, was stationed at first. The big fellow's Index finger on his pitching hand is all swathed in tape as the result of an injury. Coast League Gossip. SOME nonsensical hollering is done by ballplayers, particularly those who are released and fancy they have a grievance. Take, for instance, Jim my Clark, the former University of Washington pitcher, who was let out by the Beavers. Listen to this howl: "A ballplayer from the Northwestern League has to be a second Walter Johnson to break into the Coast league. A fellow from this part of the country (Seattle) is as popular as the measles in the southern circuit. A man from any other league is wel comed, but a Seatle recruit has a poor chance of getting a job." And now let's look up Clark's record. He worked first on April 5. when he walked two, hit a man. allowed four runs and five hits. He started to finish a game at Oakland and once more showed he was wild. McCredie gave his new pitcher every consideration and can't be blamed for letting loose the man when he showed nothing but wildness. It doesn't speak well for Clark to make such assertions. The recent trip of Prexy Baum to Portland was his first in a couple of years. Harry Wolverton undoubtedly feels better now that the Seals won the last three games of last week's series with the Aagels. The release of Infielder Frank Gay by Harry Wolverton probably means that Sheehan, the Santa Clara boy who was scheduled for the Texas League, likely will be retained in the utility role. There is a persistent rumor out iu San Francisco that Wclverton expects to get hold of Roy Corhan again. This is likely due to the fact that Hornsby is playing short for the Cardinals. If Corhan is returned Coffey probably will be the utility infielder and Sheehan would be transferred to the Texas League. Wolverton refuses to com ment on the possibility of getting Roy. Here's one from a fan: "Is Walt Mc Credie in fear of a Zeppelin raid on this country? It surely looks that way, judging from the fashion In which the Beavers keep in touch with the cellar." The Pittsburg club is trying to wish Pitcher Flame Delhi back to the Los Angeles aggregation and it's likely that Manager Frank Chance will take a chance with the big bricktop, although the Angels appear to be well supplied with heavers. Delhi started with the southern team a few years i-go and was a sensation. The White Sox bought him for $5000. He invaded Chicago and immediately proved to be a bloom er. Flame was then shipped to San Francisco, only to fade away again. He then drifted into the Union Association and the Western League, performed a comeback and was drafted by the pirates last Fall. Frank Chance has started to clean house early. He has swung the ax on the necks of Pitcher Horstman and Outfielder Jackson. The former has been turned over to the Houston club of the Texas League, while the latter goes to Peoria under an optional agree ment. Both are youngsters of promise and Hortsman may be seen in an Angel suit again before the season is over. Guess who is asking Frank Chance for a job? Why, Jack Killilay, the heaver who has seen service with Oak land, San Francisco and Salt Lake clubs in the Coast League and North western League clubs in days gone by Killiiay was released just before the stuit of the season by Manager Blank- enship, of the Dees. He showed up in Los Angeles the other day and asked Chance for a job. The peerless leader told him to wait a while. (live Harry A. Williams, sporting writer on the Los Angeles Timee. credit for the following written , dung the Los Angeles-San Francisco series at Los Angele last week: "As the San Francisco club is equipped with a Block, the Seals had been figuring all week that they would give Hogg the meat ax in the neck. They hoped, by making him look like a ham. to enjoy a repast. That is they hoped to sit down on the Couch, and. after finishing Hogg, wind up the re past with Brown-Coffey, with a blue Berry or two for dessert. In case they wanted more they could send the But ler after it. or if Pol Perritt demanded a cracker they could send Horstman pslloping to the nearest grocery store. Then they would have felt very Gay. But it all proved to be a pipe dream. The Seals took a Chance on Hogg and lost out. Now there is nothing for them to do but fall back on Old-ham."

Hard hitting in the eighth and ninth innings by St. Louis enabled the visitors to win the second game of the series here to day. 5 to 2.

John Dovle. snorting impressario. found so many fans this .Spring who had wagered hats, canes, automobiles nH loose chance on the two pennant races that he decided to arrange the proper odds for them. Colonel Doyle, who In a shrewd dop ster on his own account, went out into the highways and byways of Sportdom to find Just what the leading wagcrers were offering against each club not only for first place, but for second, third and fourth. The result, given above, is interest ing. The insiders pick both Boston clun 10 win, giving mem saie nmi- gins in the odds. The National League. In the National League they are will ing to lay 11-5 against the Braves, which means that the Braves are fig ured with a 31 per cent chance to finish first. The Braves were picked first for three reasons Stallings. the pitching strength and the infield. Brooklyn and Philadelphia are rated neck and neck. They are laying 3 to 1 against either to finish first and even money against' either finishing second. Gianta and Cuba. Four to one is offered against the Giants, despite the acquisition of Kauff. Roush, Rariden and Anderson. The Giants are rated uncertain quan tities on account of the pitching taft more than anything else, for this part of the club is an unknown quantity. And there is the feeling, too. that, like other flag winners who have slumped, the Giants have lost their ancient pep and will not be inclined to make the old drive for the top. The Cubs are the main surprise in these odds, for they are laying 10 to 1 Tinker's club doesn't win out and even money that it doesn't finish in the first division. Reds, Cardinals and Pi- rates are figured out of it, with only a bleak chance to win. American League. The Red Sox are rated stouter fa vorites in the American League than the Braves are in the National. The wonderful pitching power of Lannin's club, plus the unusual outfield strength, puts this club out in front so far as the dope is concerned. On account of these two strong de partments, they are only laying 8 to S against the world champions, which means they are figured with a 40 per cent .chance to hold the top. Tigers and White Sox. Two and one-half to one is offered against the Tigers, who are ranked the second strongest club in the league, mainly on account of the amazing out field power, headed by Cobb, and the fighting spirit of the club. The Tigers receive a slight edge over the White Sox. The insiders pay more attention to pitching strength than any other factor and the wide margin the Red Sox have with Shore. Leonard, Ruth. Foster, Gregg, etc., crowds both Tigers and White Sox back. The White Sox are figured with slightly better pitching than the Tigers, but they are also figured as lacking something in cohesive team play. All this in spite of the presence of Collins, Jackson, Fournier and Schalk. The Revised Yanks. The Yanks are ranked fourth; 8 to 1 is the price against Donovan's re- edited contingent, and 8 to 5 is offered that thev don't finish third. The club is conceded good attacking power and a first-class pitching squad, but several elements are too uncertain as yet. No one knows at this early stage just what the club will do with so many new neoDle lnmned together The dope is that with another year's experience In team play the Yanks will ne a roDust factor, with a strong chance , to win for 1917, but it is no easy task to hurl a new lineup into i.ne pennant, tne Ilrst year out. St. Louis and Washington. .o sreai pennant outlooK is given to Fielder Jones, although he has two ciuds to pick a team from, and such stars around as Sisler. Pratt, Marsans, Weilman. They are offering 2 to 1 that the Browns don't finish among the first four. Washington, even with a good pitch ing staff, is rated low on account of the weakness of the club's attack. For example, Johnson last season was the most effective pitcher in the league and yet rival clubs beat him 13 times where with only fair batting support ne wouio nave lost very few games. If you desire a long shot from the above you can lay 1 against $100 that Cleveland will win the A. L. flag. And such are the wheels of fortune.
