CHINESE TO BE MET TODAY Infantry Negroes Are Scheduled to Bo Beavers' Opponents Tomor row Team Due to Leave for San Francisco Friday. r BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. HONOLULU, Hawaii. Portland Training- Camp, March 9. (Special.) Man user Walter McCredie, of the Portland Pacific Coast League1 club, had Just told how fortunate he was with no neeidents thus far In the 1917 training Frind when Pitcher Mark; Hie-bee (Quiney) sustained an Injury to his flrm this afternoon while throwing to the hitters In batting practice. The injury may keep the husky Three-Eye Leaguer out of practice for the next two weeks. Tomorrow afternoon the boys will flay the traveling- Chinese team for the third time. The Chinese boys have walloped the Beavers twice. "Gus" Jlelfrich (Harrisburgr) and Byron Houck will twirl tor the Mackmen. Negroes Opponents Sunday. The infantry negroes with Pitcher Rogan. the best twirler on the islands, will be opponents for the Beavers Sun day. Lyle Bigbee and Ken Penner probably will be selected by McCredie. The Schofield Barracks team has the Inside track on games for next Tues day and Thursday, the last ones billed in Honolulu, for the Beavers will leave lor San Francisco next Friday. Judge 'William Wallace McCredie took the three Portland newspapermen, R. A. Cronin; Lou Kennedy and Roscoe Fowcett, around the island today and the trip was an enjoyable one. Marshall (Omaha), nor Frank O'Brien will do as Portland catchers. Manager Walter McCredie has aboue decided to fro out and get another good receiver to assist Gus Fisher. Although the young bucks are not crowding Fisher f fast, he has been watching his own conditioning work even more careruny tnan usual, ana Gus always has exhibited rare good Judgment in his care of himself In the fcpring. Fisher Works Hard. While his rivals Marshall and O'Brien were lolling In idleness throughout the Winter, Fisher was spending at least one hour each day In his basement exercising his arm. The veteran hung a matress against the wall at one end of his basement mid this permitted him to cut loose with his throws whenever desired. As a. result of this physical culture dur ing the leisure season Gus' wing Is In better shape than for several years 7ast. He does not seem to favor the leg that was broken last Fall,' and says It does not bother him In the least. Fisher's two younger rivals are O'Brien, the peppery, irrepressible San Francisco youngster, who finished with the Beavers last Fall as under study to Jack Roche, and Bob Marshall, last year of the Omaha. Club of the Western League. O'Brien Has Good Head. O'Brien broke in under Harry Wol verton last Spring In the camp of tne Pan Francisco Seals. Wolverton keot him a month and then let him go free after vainly endeavoring to "farm" him to some club in various smaller leagues. The kid immediately landed a Job in the California Trolley League and hit .302 there until Walt McCredie reached out and pulled him into the fold. Marshall Is new to Portland. When 16 or 17 years old Bob Joined the United Ktates Marine Corps and spent four years In service on the Coast and in the Philippines. He caught for the various Army teams wherever stationed and early established himself as a heavy gunner. As soon as discharged jrum tne uovemmeni uuLies -ftiarsnail returned to Iowa in 1914 or there abouts, and broke Into the Three-Eye League. Last Spring St. Paul sent him to Oma ha of the Western League, and, recall ing him In the Fall, traded him to Portland for Rip Hagerman. Marshall is a husky fellow, weighing about 175 pounds, and not more than 6 feet 10 or 10 in height, in practice he exhibits a very good pegging arm, looks the part of a strong batsman. uqu, li ins uiuiKing apparatus uuea no L clog during the heat of battle. Marshall may prove a first-class receiver. He is about 25 years old. RAIX STOPS SEAIj-CrB CLASH Indications Are That Oakland Will Not Get Rowdy Elliott. SACRAMENTO. Cal.. March 9. (Spe cial.) Baseball didn't turn a wheel today. Not a uniform was donned, and the scheduled opening Seal-Cub battle was called off. Rain made the grounds sloppy, so Wolverton and Jimmy Sheckard agreed to make it a full vacation period. Judging from the talk today there Isn't a chance for Rowdy Elliott to re turn to the Coast. The Cubs are shy on backstop material, and Sheckard. Tip O'Neill and the ballplayers them selves say Rowdy is to be rated a reg ular, which means Oakland will have to forage elsewhere. Spider Baum. "Lefty" O'Doul and other sore-arm individuals took treat ment at the Lands of Dr. Richardson, of Los Angeles. The osteopath straight ened some kinks and promises that the boys will be O. K. inside of two Aa-va According to the doctor, O'Doul's sore arm came from & vertebra out of place In the lad's spinal column. MAT BOUT OX AT HOOD RIVER Lincoln High.

Cooke and Coach Leon Fabre, Jr.. n f the I.incnlTi T T '. srYi RnYtnrA u-faq- tllng team, will meet two Hood River High School boys tonight at Hood River. Captain Conway Is the boy who beat Howard Stokes, the "Winged M" 135 pound champion, last Wednesday night. He will go against Arthur Lofts, a 158 pound wrestler. Conway weighs around 140 pounds. Evans, who has been substituted for Wallace MacTarahan, will wrestle Charles Johnson. The Portland boy weighs about 135 pounds, while Johnson weighs 145 pounds. Ames Five 24, Nebraska 22. LINCOLN. Neb.. March 9. In a Mis souri Valley conference basketball trame tonight Iowa Agricultural Col lege, of Ames, defeated Nebraska Uni versity, 24 to 22. Two extra periods were required to break ties. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. HONOLULU. Hawaii, March 9. (Special.) Apparently Lynn Brenton, the New Orleans pitcher. Is the only Beaver artist who was at all stirred up by Dave Fultz war dec laration. "Babe" Borton (St. Louis) Is not believed to be a member of the "Frat," and Paddy Siglin and Floyd Fanner (Pittsburg), Billy Southworth and Bill Fincher (Memphis) mentioned nary a word about their affiliations In contractural negotiations with Judge William Wallace McCredie. Bob Marshall was a member of the Players' Fraternity, but quit and got out from under when the strike trou ble began brewing. He said he had no quarrel with the magnates and that all he asked was an opportunity to make good and advance in his profes sion. There Is not another Frat member on the club In camp. Bill Stumpf says nobody tried to do any collecting of dues on the Portland team last season and as a result memberships lapsed. Bill Rodgers never was a strong be liever in baseball unions. He allowed his membership to die last year at Cin cinnati. Although Walter Henry McCredie In timated the other day that Herman Schatzlein would be one of the young pitchers either farmed out or released, to be truthful, the Los Angeles boy has the appearance of a great south paw. He Is a dead ringer for Lefty Will iams. ex-Salt Laker, and showed a world of stuff In the opening game on the Islands against the Infantry Ne groes February 22. He allowed only six hits in seven innings, and two of these were rank scratches. Ralph Pinelli fell down trying to field an ordinary grounder In the sec ond inning, and, owing to the slippery Infield, it was scored a hit. This was one of the scratches. Pinelli tripped over the bag and let a throw from Bill Stumpf go into the crowd In the fifth Inning and let in the second run scored by the Ethiopians off of Schatzlein. This first game was won by the heroes of San Juan Hill, 3 to 0. Penner pitched the last Inning and another error by Pinelli resulted In the third tally. Pinelli atoned for his skips by a couple of circus catches. Penner had not touched a ball all season and so did not attempt to show his real box of tricks. Penner is the lad who came from Cleveland in the Guisto deal. He pitched for Marshalltown in the Cen tral Association last year and hung ur a corking record of wins and losses 22 wins and 11 defeats. Penner reminds one of Al Sothoron, of last year's team, from the waist up. His lower decks are built on the BOOSTERS SET GOAL Beavers' Opening Day Crowd Fixed at 20,000. LUNCHEON IS POSTPONED Deatli of Little- Daughter of Roy W. Edwards, President of Or ganization, Leads to Delay in Fans'- Gathering. Because of the death of Evelyn Adele Edwards, 3-year-old daughter of Roy W. Edwards, president of the Portland Baseball Boosters, the luncheon sched uled for 12:10 o'clock today has been Indefinitely postponed. Roy W. Edwards, president of the Portland Baseball Rooters, had issued a call to every fan in Portland to at tend the luncheon at 12:10 o'clock today in the tearoom which connects the ball room and the assembly hall on the mezzanine floor of the Multnomah Hotel. Mr. Edwards will formally accept the presidency of the organization at the next gathering. There will be plates for all who care to come to the luncheon, and the committee in charge hopes to have at least 100 on the Job. A real active campaign to place 20,000 persons at Vaughn street when the Portland and San Francisco clubs open the Pacific Coast League season in Portland April 17 will be launched. "Twenty thousand for an opener," is again the slogan. The biggest question to be settled is whether or not booster buttons are to be sold. For the past few years the buttons have been passed out at 25 cents a throw. All they did was to assure the purchaser a grandstand seat in the booster, section. The money gained therefrom was used in the pur chase of the buttons and other ex penses of the association. There has been much complaint from many fans regarding the button and it is understood that the committee ap pointed last Tuesday will recommend to the association that no buttons will be sold this Spring. It is planned in stead to make every one a booster and to pass out ribbons free of charge. Railroad tickets have been forwarded to Pitchers Lynn Brenton, Bill Fincher and Pruitt, the Merlin, Or., recruit; In flelder Paddy Siglin and Outfielder Floyd Farmer who will report to Man ager Nick Williams, of the Spokane Northwestern League club, at Stockton next Wednesday. The Beavers will ar rive at Stockton March 21. Pearl Casey, the new Pacific Coast League umpire, who has resided in Portland for several years, will leave this morning for San Francisco. His hasty departure is the result of a letter from President Baum, who requested him to come to San Francisco to as sist In handling the games between the Chicago Cubs No. '1 and the Seals and Oaks, which start around San Fran cisco Bay March 14. Pearl does not know who his teammate will be. He will not return to Portland until he gets his first assignment here. The next time that you see Pearl he will be a full-fledged Coast League arbi trator again. Nothing new has been received from the three Portland holdouts. First Baseman "Babe" Borton (St. Louis) Pitcher Al -Leake (Rocky Mount) and Outfielder Billy Southworth. Borton wants a $400 bonus for signing. Leake wants more than the rise which the McCredies offered him over his last year's contract and So ath worth wants enough more to make up the carfare which he spent going to his home in Columbus. It is thought tbe McCredies will turn Leake back to Rocky Mount and let him stay in the bushes for another year as a penalty for being so inde pendent. - Pitcher Harry Hill, the Buffalo south paw, seems to have lost out with the Portland management. As he has not received a ticket It Is presumed that McCredie does not intend to bring him model of Tyler Christian, his legs be ing somewhat bowed. Cleveland still has strings on Penner. McCredie is particularly optimistic about Penner. George Helfrich, of Harrlsburg. New York State League, came to McCredie as a free agent and his record would make you sit up and look him over carefully before passing him by. Two years ago, as a kid of 19, he finished amongst the first pitchers of the out law Colonial League. Byron Houck says he exhibited remarkable control, a rare attribute among young mounders. Last season, with the tail-end Harrlsburg outfit, he won 21 games as against 12 losses and displayed this same amaz ing ability to make the horsehide do his bidding. As George Is only 20 years old and a husky, well-knit boy of 165 pounds, he may make the club as a regular. He Is a right-hander. Perhaps the most experienced of the young pitchers on this trip Is Mark Higbee. -late of Qulncy, of the Three Eye League. Higbee looks a great deal like Roy Mitchell, of the Vernon club; perhaps not quite so tall. McCredie has him on an optional agreement if he makes good, Portland pays so much, and If not, back he goes to the B league on the other side of the Mis sissippi. Higbee won 20 out of 34 games last year. . - Zwelfel and Brandt, the two Portland Inter-City League slabsters. are up against a tough field, and if they stick they will have to show a lot of class to offset the handicap of inexperience In professional company. There Is a report around camp that Al Sothoron will be back with the Bea vers before the season opens. Manager McCredie denies this, but admits that Fielder Jones has promised to give him first bid on him in case he fails to land with the Browns. By the time the Portland athletes get back to San Francisco, March 20 or 21, on the steamship Great Northern, Mc Credie will have a good line on his young pitchers. Unless he experiences another senational run of luck like he did in 1910, when he developed Krapp, Gregg, Steen and Seaton a quartet of youngsters In one short Spring train ing season, it is safe to say the big Scot will be in the field for a couple of real veterans who have passed the experimental stage and know the pitch ing ropes from Dan to Bersheba. Brenton. of New Orleans, from all reports, will be a valuable addition to the Beavers. Dennie Wilie played with him at Cleveland, and Dennie says he is another Gene Krapp in the fielding line. Brenton is built on the lines of Billy Southworth small in stature but husky. West. Hill Is a semi-professional who was highly recommended to Walter Mack. Before he left for Honolulu, the Bea ver chieftain could get no real dope on his left-handed find and decided that he would struggle along without him rather than spend a lot of money for the -carfare and take a chance of the youngster proving to be a bloomer. Drummond Brown, who was a cracker- Jack of a catcher with the Vernon club several years ago and who later went to the majors, has written Walter Mc Credle for a place. He writes from Minneapolis and says that he Is a free agent and in fine shape. Hugh Mc Credie, who. along with George . Shep herd, is looking after baseball head quarters while the two Portland mag nates are away, forwarded Brown's letter to Stockton. Business manager McCredie Informed Brown that Walter McCredie would be in the California city March 21 and he could then expect a decision. Trainer Merritt Douglass Wells the big policeman who will condition the Beavers, has received Instructions from the Portland magnates to report at Stockton March 22 for active duty. HOCKEY SERIES IS SET EAST AM) WEST TO MEET FOR TITLE MARCH 17. Other Contests In Seattle WU1 Be Played on Following Days. Eastern Team Unpicked. VANCOUVER. B. C, March 8. (Special.)- Word was received here today by Frank A. Patrick, president of the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association, that the annual world's ice hockey series would start March 17 In Seattle. While It is Impossible row to deter mine which septet of the National Hockey Association will play, Secretary Calder, of the Eastern circuit, tele graphed West that March 17, 20, 23, 26 and 28 were acceptable dates. Last season the champion Portland Uncle Sams went to Montreal and played five games against the Cana diens. They lost three and won two games. This year it was arranged to have ; the Eastern champs come West, The Seattle Mets led the local league soon after the middle of the 1916-17 season and from then on until the last they were never headed. By starting the world's series March 17 the visitors will have a two days' rest after their arrival In Seattle to rid them of the tiresome effects of the train ride across the continent. Plans have been made to have the Fastern title- holders play several post-season matches after the world's series, but Portland will not be included, as the Ice Palace there will close its doors tomorrow night. Arrangements will be completea soon by President Patrick whereby special rates on all railroads will be obtained so that local as well as both Portland and Spokane hockey entnusiasts will te given an oppor tunity to witness the big clashes.

EXPERIENCE GIVES VICTORY Canadians Show by Play That They Have Profited by Playing To gether for so Lon Almost Professional Class Shown. The Towers ice hockey team of Van couver, B. C. last night won the Pa cific Coast amateur Ice hockey cham pionship for 1917 In the Ice Palace by defeating the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club septet elghe goals to three. Showing exceptional experience and real class the Canadians handed the Multnomah clubmen their worst defeat of the year, but in the Judgment of the crowd which witnessed the contest It was no disgrace for the local septet, runners-up in the race for Paclf lo Coast honors. The Seattle Athletic Club team was eliminated by the Multnomah septet, 5 to 1, in the Ice Palace here Wednes day night. The Canadians" play clearly showed that they had profited by their several seasons of playing together. Their teamwork and combination play at times rivaled that of professionals. Fellowes brothers and Code were the scoring stars. If it had not been for Norman Youmans the clubmen would have been defeated by a worse score. As goal tender Toumans was shown no mercy by the opposing shots. When his defense men held he was all right. but the minute that they weakened he was unable to withstand the attack of the entire Tower forward line. Code Scores In First Period. Fifteen seconds after the first period opened Code had scored a point after a pass from Ben Fellowes and three minutes and ten seconds later the same combination was good for another marker. By this time Multnomah had come to life and after eight minutes more .of battling Bill Newitt sagged the net on a pass from Captain Leslie. Thus the frame ended. lit was nothing but Towers during the second period. Captain Allen Fellowes scored twice in succession unassisted, a point each from Code and Ben Fel lowes. The Multnomah contingent "braced In the last period and exhibited a good brand of hockey. The "Winged M" wearers netted the rubber disc twice in a row. Davis, who substituted for Wick Newitt when Newitt went to rover in place of Shannon, scored the first tally for Multnomah in the last stand and Bill Newitt added the final goal. In the last third, the Vancouverltes added two points to their score. No penalties were Inflicted by Referee Clem Loughlin or Judge of Play Charley Tobin. and no unnecessary roughness was displayed by either aggregation The visitors went through with the same seven players who started, but Multnomah made a number of switches in the lineup. Morrison Not Missed. The work of Jefford. who was brought to Portland in place of Don Morrison, was enough to show that the Towers did not miss Morrison. Jefford was a member of the Centrals contin gent, but was made eligible to compete for the Towers because of the failure of Morrison to come south. The Canadians were taKen over the Columbia River Highway yesterday.' as were several . members of the Seattle Athletic Club. The party will leave for Vancouver, B. C on a late train tonight, arriving home some time to morrow. The final day of the 1916-17 ice skat lng season of the Portland Ice Palace has been reached.

Important action affecting the Northwestern League schedule was taken at the recent meeting of the di rectors, it was announced today by Robert Blewett, president of the league. Seven-day baseball, which has been the rule for years, was again established and the former action making Monday a traveling day was rescinded. In explaining the action. President Blewett said that the directors de cided that a satisfactory schedule could not be arranged undty the no-Monday baseball plan. Further argument against the system decided upon last Kail was furnished by the fact that several holidays come on Monday, which should be a big baseball day. "The directors were unanimous In passing this rule," President Blewett said, "and, although Great Falls and Butte will be affected by the ruling, the schedule was arranged so that the Montana clubs would lose as few play ing dates as possible."
