Today's Schedule. Lns Anirelea at Portland. Bait Lake at 'TBrnon, Oakland at San Francisco. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT "With four weeks of the Pacific Coast (ball season out of the way the clubs ere lined up this morning- Just about as the wise railbirds had doped them prior to the onening. Los Angeles is leading the league, but liv the skinniest kind of a margin. It ronuired a double-header Sunday to dis lodge the Oaks from first place, and so tlfrhtly bunched were the clubs that the Oaks plunked all the way down to third dace. Oakland hae been the surprise so far, due chiefly to the form displayed by young Speed Martin, the busher, who has won five games In a row. Barry at first base and Lane in the outfield also ave been surprises. Elliott's Chance Good. If these three athletes continue at tneir present pace Rowdy Elliott's Oaks stand a good chance to become tnor ' oughly acquainted with the folk, in the first division after several seasons roamlne around the catacombs.- San Francisco got off to a rather slip- vhod start, but the Seals are now com ing again. They won the series last week from Salt Lake by taking the double-header Sunday. Steen and Couch are rounding to form, and when Fan ning and Baurr. get going strong, aug mented by Oldham, of Detroit, the Seals are sure to be a dangerous aggregation. Salt Lake has strengthened mate rially since the season's start by the addition of the hard-hitting Rath at second base. Vernon Minna 1200. Vernon got away from Portland Sun day night minus about $1200, due to the rainy weather encountered here, but with two games of the four tucked away in their jeans. Ham Patterson has a well-balanced ball club, most of them old birds, still, Portland fans can not see where they have anything on the Portland club. The poor physical condition of the pitchers handicapped the Beavers for the first two weeks down south and this sort of took the heart out of the rest of the team. As a result when they did get some fair pitching after the first terrific lambasting at home the locals fell down with the war club and played some bad baseball to boot After losing three out of four to Salt Lake, however, and the first two to Ver iKn, the Beavers came back with vic tories on Saturday and Sunday. Byron Houck pitched a beautiful game Satur day and Ivoyes came through with an other on bunday. w ith these two twirl- ers apparently in shape, Portland should be able to give the Angels tough argument during the ensuing series. v Lush May Start Game Today. Johnny Lush is finally ready for serv ice, and either Lush or Sothoron will start the opener this afternoon at about 3:15 o'clock. Today's game will start later than usual, owing to train connections from the south. Los Angeles has a bunch of left-banded batters, including Ellis, Wolter, Mag- gert, McLarry and Galloway. Magger has not been hitting much this Spring, and Johnny Kane is holding down ceo terneld just at present. Kane enacted the role of a shuttle cock for a few days recently. Vernon sold him to Wichita and he refused to report. "Wichita thereupon transferred him back to Vernon and a few days later ' he was sold to San Francisco. Wolverton did not need an outfielder as badly as he needed another catcher, so he traded Kane to Los Angeles for Clarence Brooks. Los Angeles still has Boles and Base Jer for backstop duty. Fisher is back at shortstop again after an illness, and Chance's club peems to have entirely recovered from its slump of a week ago. The Ansrel took the last four in a row from Oak land. Chance May Be Drawing Card. Frank Chance has never appeared be lore tne DaseDaii pudiic or Portlan before and this should be a big week provided the weather is fair. The firs two weeks at home have been dismal disappointments from an atmospheri and financial viewpoint, probably the poorest opening In Portland in man years. Thanks to the 9000 crowd on openin day. Salt Lake got away without losin money, but Vernon was not so fortu nate. only four games were slaved nn the clubs showed to not more than 800 jans in tnese lour, because of cold w earner early in uie weeK.

Quite an Important change In the scoring rules regarding the crediting of wins and losses to pitchers has been announced by Allan T. Baum. president of the Pacific Coast League. It Is in line with recent suggestions. John A. Heydler, secretary of the National League, issued the order to the of ficial scorers of that organization re cently and this is one of the main reasons for Its adoption In the Pa cific Coast circuit. Heretofore. It has been the uniform practice to give a pitcher who has re tired with the score in his favor credit for a win. no matter what may have been the conditions. The new rule will permit of more discretion on the part of the scorers. . The rule in question: Do not give the first pitcher erertlt for garao won. even- if the score la In his favor. unless he has pitched at least the first half of the game. A pitcher retired at the cloae or the fourth inning with the score 2 to In hia favor hai not won a game. If. how ever, he Is taken out because of his team having secured a commanding and winning lead in a few Innings, then he Is entitled to the win. The good judgment of th scorer must netermme In such cas?s. as much depends upon whether the pitcher Is relieved because of Ineffectiveness or be cause be has a commanding lead or because It becomes necessary at a critical stage to replace him by a stronger batsman. The new ruling was used In a game at Los Angeles last Tuesday. Prulett was yanked in the second inning. A the time the score favored the Oaks 2 to 1. but Prulett was wild. Beer got credit for the win. CORBETT LET OCT BY SEALS Brother of ex-Hearyweicht Cham plon Fail to "Come Back." SAN FRANCISCO. May . 1.

CHAMBER INDORSES MOVE Recreation Center With Golf Course Is Advocated in Resolution Com mittee Agrees to Put Vp $30 00 of Improvement Cost. Whether or not Portland will have a municipal golf links will be decided by the City Council tomorrow. At that time a proposed ordinance authorizing the city to enter into a contract with the Ladd Estate for use of 151 acres near Reed College free of charge for five years will be up for passage. Com missioner Baker at that time will have an estimate for the probable cost to the city of putting the course in shape. The Portland Chamber of Commerce at the regular meeting in the Oraron building yesterday noon adopted a mo tion indorsing the plan of creating a recreation center with municipal golf links. While the motion mentioned nothing regarding a site, the sentiment of the Chamber was in favor of the proposition to be voted on this morn ing by the members of the City Council. Dr. M. C. Holbrook, a member of the committee called together by ictor A. Johnson, president of the Waverley Country Club, was present at the Cham ber of Commerce gathering yesterday and he explained in detail the Ladd Estate grounds and the feasibility of constructing a recreation center and the municipal goaf links. 1th the indorsement of the project by the Chamber of Commerce, more Interest has been created in obtaining the proposed site. The offer of free use of the big tract was submitted to the Council last Frl day. Action on the matter was de ferred until Commissioner Baker could prepare an estimate of the cost of necessary improvements. This will be ready along with an ordinance which is being prepared by the City Auditor's office. A committee interested in municipal golf links has agreed to put up $3000 of the cost of improvements. While estimates have not -been completed by Mr. Baker, it is said the additional amount necessary will be between $3000 and $4000. Portland is the only city of Its size on the Pacific Coast without a munici pal golf course. Seattle has one of the finest public courses in the country, having spent upward of $80,000 in its beautiful tract. This links was opened last May and has proved not only self sustaining, but a real money - maker. Revenue is derived from annual permit dues of $6 or permits for shorter peri ods of time. Spokane has one public course and Is about ready to open another. Taco ma is well provided and the same is true of San Francisco and Los An geles. At Los Angeles, the city does not charge the golfers at all. the cost of maintenance being borne by the park department. It is believed, however, that the small fee system is the best for Port land. Anybody who plays over the proposed Ladd Municipal links un doubtedly would be agreeable to t charge of approximately 50 cents per month. The Ladd tract Is ideally situated for golfing purposes for a big ma lorlty of the people of Portland reside on the East Side of the river. Rudolph WUhelm. state golf cham pion, made a round of the Waverley Country Club Sunday and surprised himself with a score of 77. He wen out in 41 and in in 36, which Is par for the lower nine holes. Russell Smith. who will be WUhelm s chief rival in the coming championships In June, has turned in a dozen or more 77s. besides a few 76's and 75 s and a couple of 74s . Play in the Scotch foursomes at the Waverley Country Club will be resumed this afternoon on the averley links. David T. Honeyman and D. V. L. Mac Gregor will meet M. H. Whltehouse and r . H. Hoffman at 2 o clock. Coast League Gossip. T3IXG BODIE wants to go back to the JL big show next season, not because of any desire to leave his old home town of San Francisco, but just to show up Jimmv Callahan, whom Ping claims rode him off the Chicago White Sox sou ad. The Seal outfielder Is only waiting for a chance to appear In a big: league lineup so that ,he can demon strate that he is still "there" when i comes to playing baseball and clout ingr in runs. e Reports are coming from Los Angele that the memory of the late Happy Hogan is not to be allowed to fade. It was almost a year ago. May 17, that Hogan died unexpectedly, thereby cast ing: a deep shadow over the Pacific Coast -League. The present plan is ta have the six clubs of the circuit give a testimonial. The idea originated with Henry Berry and Johnny Powers. e e George Block; the castoff Seal catch er, is lamenting the fact that he did not get an opportunity to deliver the good.s in San Francisco. Block does not blame Manager Harry Wolverton nor the owners of the Bay City clus for his release, but simply charges it up to fate and bad luck, for he's a very fair-minded young player. m m m Virgil Earl, who coached the WaBh inton Hifth School baseball team when Bryon Houck,. former member of the Philadelphia Athletics and now with the Portland Beavers, was the main thing as a pitcher for the Kast Slders, was an interested spectator at the 8 to 1 victory credited to Houck through the great stick work of Louis Guisto against Vernon last Saturday after noon. "Red" Oldham, the new Seal southpaw. is only a medium-sized fellow. Fans from the California metropolis say that he is going to develop into a winning twirler for the Seals. Society Note, Frank Chance and his I-os Angeles Angels will be the guests of Walter McCreile and his Portland Beavers this afternoon and the remainder of the week at the McCredie Recreation Park, Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets. The visitors are xpecttd to arrive from the south this afternoon after having secured a f-nir-gsme to three- game series from the Oakland repre sentatlves. . . Sore arm is troubling Skeeter Fan nine and Pete Strandrldge. but both pitchcis hope to get into condition to be ready for service by the middle of the month. "Work"' seems to be the middl e name of the peerless Jeadr. acco the press accounts from Chanre has his playera out every morning for two hours' strenuous prac tice, lie lost six straight s;rn&, but the team did the 'Venn back." atunt and captured the series last week with Oakland even, though the Angels had a bum start. The Vernon-Salt Lake game slated for this afternoon at Los Angeles will be postponed because the Vernon team will not arrive In time for the game. A team can travel north from Los Angeles to Portland, leaving the cafe teria city Sunday night, and arrive here in time for a match Tuesday aft ernoon, but thts Is not the case when traveling south. The opening game of the Vernon-Salt Lake serlea will he played In Los Angeles tomorrow aft ernoon. Today's gams at the Vaughn- xtreet grounds will be delayed a little bit because of the late arrival of the Angels. CS IS DUE TODAY HVRKOIT AT ROSE CITV CLl'B IS KCIIEDllKD.

What relation exists between the um pire and a thrown or batted ball? AI though the various rules governing plays in which the umpire Is struck by batted or thrown balls is very specific, many arguments arise each year, when , the person or clothing of the umpire gets in the way. Before considering the changes that have been made in recent years rela tive to such plays, I might as well state that the thrown ball, with one excep tion, is always in play when it comes In contact with the person or clothing of the umpire and baserunners have a right to advance at their peril. The ono exception noted above has refer ence to the umpire interfering with the catcher In the throwing of the ball and. of course, has reference to the plate umpire. On such a piay the ball Is not con sidered in play and runners instead of being allowed to advance at their peril, shall return to their original bases without liability to be put out. The section covering the play says: "The baser unner shall return to his base without liability to be put out if the person or clothing of the umpire, while stationed back of the bat. interferes with the catcher in an attempt to throw." I have always sort of regretted that the ball was not allowed in play on such a happening. only umpires who work extremely close are ever lia ble so to interfere with the catcher, but It would be a very easy matter for a wise catcher to work the rule to advan tage with most any umpire. hat would be more eaby for a wise catcher. when It was very apparent because of the big lead secured by the runners, that he had no chance to get anyone. than eo to step back that his arm would come into contact with the umpire? Then he could let the ball go where it pleased and raise a claim of interfer ence which would result in the run ners being sent back, if the umpire re garded the play in the light intended by the catcher.

New Trs Gty W "ENDLESS CHAIN" DANGER OF CATARRH S. S. S. the Proper Safeguard Catarrh Is a -cold" In its chronto form. The air Is filled with bacteria which Is taken into the mouth and noM through the process of breathing. When the body is In a healthy condition no harm results.
