RODGERS GETS 4 SINGLES Ayau's Homer Tarns Tide Fine Fielding by llollocher Features. McCredles Worry Because Boat May Be Withdrawn. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. HONOLULU. Feb. 26. (Special.) Ayau, Chinese outfielder, whom Bill Leard has signed for his Seattle North western League club, defeated the Portland Pacific Coast Leagrue team this afternoon, when he hit one of Lyle Blgbee's fast ones over the fence, scoring one run ahead of him. The final score was: All-Chinese 9, Port land 8. Ayau, who will soon leave for San Francisco to report to the Sound City team, was the bright and shining star of the matinee. Besides his home run he swatted out two more safe blows and fielded faultlessly. Johnny Brandt, last season with the Baby Beavers of the Inter-City Leagrue, made his debut as a Mackian pitcher. He walked two, allowed two hits and three runs In the first two innings and was Jerked In favor of "Gus" Helfrich. secured from the Harrisburg team of the New York State League. Helfrich and Blcbee Lob Ball. Although Helfrich Just lobbed the ball up, the Chinese lads tallied only two runs off of his delivery until the sixth, when Lyle Bigbee was trotted out on the hillock. The ex-University of Oregon baseball and football star took things easy, too, the other four runs coming off him. two of which were the result of Ayau's mighty wal lop. Luckye and Hoonkl labored on the Blab for the Chinks and both were hit freely, Portland getting 16 safe drives. An Oriental named Kenyen caught for the home boys and his throwing to the bases was excellent. Hollocher's fine fielding at short was the thing that attracted Walter Mc Credle's eyes more than any other fea ture. Bill Rodgers led the Portland attack with four healthy knocks, while Hollocher, Bill Stumpf, Ralph PInelll and Alerle Wolfer got two each. Gue Fisher broke in for the first time behind the bat. Both he and Frank O'Brien who relieved him threw excellently. Portland made only one error as against two for the opposi tion. Beavers May Be Stranded.

Chance Has 3 More Players Coming. Umpiring Game Hard. HARRT WOLVBRTO IfS chief trouble is the San Francisco pitching staff. When the Seal leader starts his boys off today at Sac ramento on the annual training grind he will have only Spider Beaum who can be depended upon to keep above the .500 mark. There is always the hope that Bill Steen will come back, and if he does he will be a big asset. But Bill was not particularly valuable last season. Olaf Erlckeon and "Red" Oldham were pitching great ball at the close of last year. If they can get control they are certain to become stars, and they are big. strong fellows who can go twice a week without difficulty. But if they don't get control well, no fan will have to scratch his memory to recall the two wild men of last sea son and the frequency with which they were yanked out of the box. These four heavers are counted on for the bulk of the work. Rudy Kal llo is to have a chance, and he might live up to the big boss hopes. Th Portland boy has a wonderful curve ball, but he was a few chips shy on control last Fall, although control has always been one of his main assets. Another pitcher is Lefty Dougherty. This boy, who comes from the Wilkes barre club of the New York State League, is highly recommended, but there is little in his record to indi cate that he Is a wonder. He won 14 and lost 15 games for Wilkesbarre, keeping just about even with his club's record of wins and losses. He was re sponsible for. 2.59 runs a game. Only four men in. the league issued more walks than he, and each of them were in many more games. Several bushers are to be tried out, and there Is always the possibility of unearthing a boy who can deliver, but the Speed Martins are infrequent. Joe Stecher, world's heavyweight wrestling champ, will appear at Mater's Vernon baseball park, on March 7, ac AMATEURS VIE FOR ICE TITLE TONIGHT Unbeaten Multnomah Hockey Septet to Play 0.-W. R. & N. Team in Final Game. CLUBMEN'S RECORD FINE Uncle Sams Return From Vancouver and Tell of the Dash and Vim Shown by Millionaires in Match Saturday Night. The battle for the 1917 champion ship of the Portland Amateur Ice Hockey Association will be called at 8 o'clock tonight at the Ice Palance, be tween the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club team and the O.-W. R. & N. contingent. Around tonight's fracas is centered Just what team will be per mitted to represent Portland against the field- of amateurs in the Northwest championship tourney, which will be staged here a week from Wednesday and Thursday nighs. The Winged M" is flying at the top of the league with three wins and no defeats, while the Railroaders are next in line, with two victories and one set back, the lone walloping coming from the Multnomah early In the campaign. The clash tonight is the second meet ing of the two septets and a win for the O.-W. R. & N. will mean that an other get-together must be held In the Ice Palace the latter part of the week. Manager Phipps is confident that the clubbers will be able to put up their greatest game for they have a record of winning the championship of the cir cuit for the last two years and by cap turing the high honors this campaign the J. D. Farrell trophy will be their permanent property. The officials will be Captain "Moose" Johnson and Clement Loughlln, of the Portland Uncle Sams. Six of the Portland Uncle Sams re turned last night from Vancouver, B. C, where they had received a 5-to-4 licking at the hands of the Millionaires Saturday night. From all 'accounts It was some engagement and the Uncle Same were trimmed in the last period after having led up to the final 20 minutes of play. In speaking of Saturday's defeat Clem Loughlln, the big defense man who teams with Captain "Moose." said: "The Vancouver athletes played as though their lives were at stake. The first two periods were the fastest we have played this year and the whole game centered around the remarkable performance of "Cyclone" Taylor. Un assisted he went the full length of the surface on one of his sensational dashes and before anyone knew it he had Bagged the net for the winning tally." Jefferson High will endeavor to put the skids under the Columbia Univer sity puck chasers this afternoon, start ing at 3:15 o'clock, in the Ice Palace. Columbia played Lincoln a 0-to-0 game last Friday night and It was the cham pionship game at that. They will play the tie oit later in the week, according to present plans. Today's game will be the only one of the Portland Inter scholastic League until the Columbia Lincoln match. CHECKER CHAMP TO RETURN Newell W. Banks to Appear Here Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Newell W. Banks, world's checker champion, who is now doing exhibition work in Southern Oregon, will again appear in Portland next Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

On his next trip to Portland he will play six men checkers and two chess while blindfolded. He will also give some more simultaneous exhibitions of both checkers and chess. Boards will cost CO cents each instead of $1 as charged last time. Reports from Salem, where the champion played last Wednesday night, are that he made a big hit through his skill and uncanny ability. KOERNER FAILS TO KEEP MARK Flttery, Prough and Decannlere Find Batter's Weak Points, Koerner, now of San Francisco, while with Los Angeles in 1916, made a re- cording- to Tim McGrath, of Los An geles. MoGrath also promises to use Ad, Santel who has the best claim to the world's light heavyweight cham pionship. William James, pitcher of the Bos ton Nationals in 1914. but since dis abled by- injuries, has notified the club management that he will not sign a contract calling for $3000 a year. He formerly received $6500 a season with Boston. Business Manager Hapgood said no further offer would be made "Seattle B11L" Although Frank LeRoy Chance now appears to have, on paper, the strong est club In the Pacific Coast League, he Is still expecting three players from- the Chicago Cubs for Harry Wolter. "Umpires," mused Nick Williams, Spokane manager, recently In San Francisco where he is wintering, "are perhaps to be classed one of the neces sary evils of baseball. "I ought to know. Didn't I try it once? . I umpired in the Pacific Coast League at least. I thought I was um piring. Never again" for me. Since that time I've had an admiration for umpires I never had before. "I figured when I started that all the players were friends of mine .and that we'd get along in great style. We did not! Why some of the birds who had been close personal friends "were "on me" from start to finish. They made my life miserable. They kicked at me during the games and they greeted me with cold nods of contempt when they met me on the streets or in the hotels. And the fans, too I'd al ways been a good fellow with them everywhere. My disposition is Sociable. I like to get around and chat a bit. Well, after I had been umpiring a few weeks I began to wonder if I had a contagious disease. Nobody wanted to associate with me. The only com panion I could have was Ed Finney, the other umpire. I simply had to Quit." f spectable showlr.g against Flttery, of Salt Lake, baling at a .297 clip and; t?oing httless in only two games. But that .297 clip was a big drop from the things that Koerner, while with Oak land and Los Angelee- In 1915, did to Flttery. In that year Koerner hit Flt tery to all corners of the lot' for 12 hits in 23 times at bat, a .621 average. Also, against Prough. of Oakland. Koerner hit at a good clip in 1916, but also as In the case of Flttery, that 1916 showing represented a big drop from the .400 average that he made against Prough In 1915. In 1915 Koerner never went hitless against Prough. In 1916 he went hitless In three games against Prough and batted only .290 nine hits In 31 times at bat. Decannlere, of Vernon, cut a big hole in Koerner's 1916 batting record. In 1915 Koerner had hit Decannlere ten times out of 28, an average of .393, and had gone hitless in only one game. In 1916 Decannlere held Koerner hitless in three games and allowed him only six hits out of . 25 times at bat a .240 average.

CLUBHOUSE VISITS BARRED Rube Gardner Is Released Wood and Speaker Will Play Hard Against Boston Hold-Out Question Bothers Vernon. President Allan T. Baum. of the Pacific Coast League, has always ad vised the managers of this great West ern circuit to see to It that their play ers behaved like gentlemen. This has been the case for the past several seasons, but there Is a general belief now that Prexy Baum has de-'-lded. or wishes, to have the spirit of real strife underneath all this gentle manly conduct. It was impressed upon the managers at the last- meeting held In San Fran cisco a few days ago that clubhouse visiting is not to be tolerated. Play ers may mingle as they please when not In the ball park, but once they reach the park to get ready for the day's game they are expected to re member that they are enemies, and Intimacies are not possible. It has been tha habit of many play ers to go to the parks early In the afternoon so as to have a half-hour chat with old cronies playing on the other club. In the Western League this became such a habit that the fans began to sus pect the players of favoring each other during games because of friendliness. So clubhouses in the Western League have been abolished. The players dress now at their hotels, and each team goes to the ball park in a body. Thus there is no chance for visiting. m Rube Gardner, who has been re leased by Oakland, has been on the club for four years. The Oakland club had previously given Gardner permis sion to make a trade for himself, and finally concluded that he should be a free agent. If Joe Wood, who was purchased Saturday from the Boston Red Sox by the Cleveland club, can regain two thirds of his old-time form, then Jim Dunn made another good deal when he got the lanky chucker for $15,000. Wood helped to pitch Boston to a pennant and a world's championship in 1912. His sale to Cleveland marks the pur chase of the second great Red Stocking by the Indians. Trls Speaker was bought last Winter for 350.000. and made many thousands of dollars for every club .owner In the American League last season. His switch to the lowly Indians made them a pennant contender for most of the year, and made Jim Dunn more money in one season than Charley Somen made dur ing his entire regime in the Ohio city. How Speaker and Wood, both one time stars with the Boston Americans, will play when they stack up against the Beantown boys! s The holdout question must be both ering Los Angeles and Vernon officials. To date only a few contracts have been received at the two offices, and the start of the training season is to day. But neither club will give in to the holdouts, according to . the man agers of the two organizations. SIX AFTER BILLIARD TITLE Championship of Amateur Balk Line Game to Start Today.

Allowed 'Lmi Steps From Claim a Waaaina-toa St. leani and yet they're MILD w ROAD BODY CHOSEN Governor Tentatively Decided on Highway Commission. ANNOUNCEMENT IS HELD UP Appointments Probably Will Be Given Out Last of Tbls Week and Free Hand In Directing De partment to Be Given. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 24. (Special.) Governor Wlthycombe probably will announce the personnel of the now State Highway Commission the latter part f the coming week. No whisper has come as to who win be on that commission. The Gov ernor has his mind tentatively mads up as to who the selections will be. but has offered no Intimation as to their names. It Is possible even that the names of the men that he has se lected may be changed. Many applications have been re ceived for places on the commission and the question of appointees is com manding state-wide attention. Numerous inquiries are received daily at the executive offices, as to the men likely to be chosen, but no word has been allowed to go out as to the selections. The fact that the new commission may have to handle the J6. 000. 000 bond issue to be voted on by the people in June, as well as the fact that all other State road moneys will be at the dis position of the three men, makes the naming of the commissioners a mat ter of prime import. "No Legislature has ever passed as liberal and as constructive a measure along highway commission lines as that incorporated in the provisions of the new highway code." said Gover nor Wlthycombe. In commenting on the present situation. "The commission has a mighty work cut out tor it and it Is my aim and hope to make the selection of men who will have the confidence of the people and who will be able to fulfill the stu pendous duties which will be imposed upon them in a satisfactory and ef ficient manner. "The commission will have an en tirely free hand as far as this office Is concerned. When this office names the members of the ccfmmission it will be entirely through with the question of road work. The commission will then go ahead with Its labors un hampered and untrameled. Dr. Llndley to Lecture Tonight. Dr. Ernest II.
