BRENTON HURLS FINE BALL Recruit From New Orleans Shows Speed, Curve, Slow Ball, Control and Everything Inflelders Put TJp Corking Play. ' BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. MARYSVILLE. CaL. March 25. (Spe cial.) A county's pomp and chivalry aw the Portland Coasters give the Spokane Northwest League recruits a terrific beating here today, 14 to 8. Jack Farmer, the Pittsburg outfielder, came up twice with the bases full, clearing them once with a double over the left fielder's head, and scoring- two the second time with a single to cen ter. With the exception of Stumpf the team lined up lust about as it will open against Salt Lake April 3. Nearly everybody contributed to the total of 16 swats off three of Nick Williams' youngsters. -Hollocher led the fusillade with four, and Farmer. Siglin and Stumpf secured three hits apiece. Brenton and Penner twirled excel lent ball for Portland, 'particularly Brenton. It was the New Orleans boy's first start for McCredie and his debut proved a complete social success. Bren ton allowed but one hit in his five In nings. One run scored on errors by Hollocher and Siglin, both due to the bad infield. Brenton" is a curve and speed ball artist and he also packs around a slow curve that is a winner. His control seems excellent and he Impressed all the camp followers as a real pitching find. In looks Brenton reminds a lit tle of Fullerton, although larger. Penner walked one and was dented for two hits in his initial inning, two runs scoring. One of these hits, how ever, would easily have furnished the third out on a good infield. Hollocher and Siglin executed some nifty field ing, considering conditions. The crowd was small.

RAN FRANCISCO. March 25. fSoe clal.) The Chicago Cubs were whipped xwice toaay, at Oakland .this morning, 8-2, and at Kwing Field in the after noon. 10-6. They lost both series with the Oaks and Seals. Big Jim Vaughn had worked as a big leaguer should in his other starts here, but no matter what he threw up xoaay. it was nit right on the seam, and the runs simply poured over the pan. Jim was sent in to save the game when the Cubs had a one-run lead, for Manager Mitchell wanted to take at least one game played today home with him. But as a game saver Big Jim was a dismal failure. Olaf Erickson started the game for the Seals and he was as wild as a log ger from the state of Washington hit ting his first wet spot in California. , The sixth inning decided the issue in the morning game, when Del How ards' men chased over all their rum with Demaree gracing the mound. At that, it wasn't Demaree's fault, as Charley Deal pulled two glaring errors on grounders to third that loaded up the bases and made it possible for Mid- cleton to jam in a hit in the pinch. scores: R.

RODGERS. Captain Portland Pacific Coast Leagrue Baseball Club. MARYSVILLE, CaL. March 25. (Special.) Our visit at Honolulu was made more pleasant through the personal efforts of Henry Chilllngs- worth. a native-born boy. He Is one of the finest fellows I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. When It comes to hunting, trapping. fishing or any other outdoor sport along these lines. I am positively a bug on the subject. I always carry a high-power and small rifle and a shot gun in my trunk. Chillingsworth's mind runs in the same channel and In short time a wild boar hunt was doped out Our wild boar hunt was decidedly a success. Denny Vville. -Chillingsworth and myself left Honolulu behind us on a warm, clear morning at 4 o'clock, in the host's machine. In a short time we had clipped off 18 miles on a per fect road, arriving at a settlement In connection with a sugar factory. All Expect Hantrn. , Here we fell in with the others of our party, two Portuguese, one Porto Rican and a Chinaman. They all talked pidgin English and we found them to be hospitable, entertaining and Interesting. Before the trip was over we found out that they were on the Job and were experts at the gentle are of pig hunting, as they went out almost every Sunday morning and said they have never come back "skunked." They had four dogs that also knew their business, having had plenty of xperlence. Two were crossed about half and half with Airedale and shep herd, the predominating blood in an other was bull, while the fourth was ust simply plain dog. Of course, a bunch of curs like this would be a little shy on nose. What tracking they did was still-trailing and they never made a sound except when actually ighting or running by sight. This quality proved to be a good one, as every time we heard the dogs we knew they actually had a pig. We were armed as follows: Two of the Portuguese and Chillingsworth each had a .44 Winchester, the Chinaman a 351 automatic, the Porto Rican carried a long, heavy knife. Wilie toted my .250 high-power Savage and I had the shotgun with heavy shot. Athlete Get Plenty of Work. The mountains were near at hand and our trip consisted of an eight-mile hike up a deep canyon through a rank growth of high grass, underbrush and small trees. There was a narrow trail inflelder. catcher and pitcher, will be sent home tomorrow. ' OAK YANS BEAT SAXTA ROSA Billy Lane Is Injured Sliding to Base and Will Be on Shelf. BOTES SPRINGS. Cal..

While sliding into second Billy Lane skinned his ankle and will be out of the lineup for several days. SOMMERS-GEORGE BOUT OFF April 3 Clash Dropped Because Boxers Fail to Agree. Manager Fred T. Merrill, of the Rose City Athletic Club, has called' off the bout scheduled for April 3 between AI Sommers and Billy George, the Idaho middleweight. Inability to get the boys together is the reason. This may not cancel the suggested bout between them at Bend over the ten- round route April 15. The club across the river Is now striving to match Ralph Gruman with either Willie Hoppe. of San Francisco, or "Oakland Frankle" Burns.

FUN BUT HARD Enjoys Sport at Hawaii Cap Has Boar Two Pigs Are Captured. which crossed and recrossed a roaring mountain stream about 15 feet wide. A Portuguese, who seemed to be the ring-leader of the gang, hit this trail at horse-killing pace and we were taxed to our utmost speed to keep up. Wilie says that this was the best workout he had on the Island. "Ditto" for me. We had reeled off about four miles and the grind was beginning to get monotonous, when suddenly the festivi ties began. About 50 yards ahead in the thick brush we heard a terrible commotion. Rushing up on the scene, we found an old sow with two young pigs, which together with the four dogs were just tearing up the bushes. As soon as the sow saw us she beat it. leaving her children behind. The dogs immediately jumped and held the "pigs, which were small, weighing about 40 pounds apiece. We managed to get them away from their ravenous pursuers before any serious injuries befell them. The mother made her getaway. Rodgers Lose Chance. After traveling about three miles further on we heard the dogs fighting another pig off to our left about 100 yards up the mountain. I was in a small open place, which were few and far between, and decided to remain and try my luck on the chance of getting a shot when the quarry came through. This was undoubtedly a large boar, as he seemed to have the dogs bluffed. They fought past me in the brush about 40 yards away, but I did not get a shot. This was as close as I came to landing a pig. The big bulldog was badly ripped in this fight and I heard him howl distinctly when the boar struck him. However, the dogs stayed with this big fellow, as he would not run far before he would turn around and put up a fight. Denny was the lucky man and the hero of the party. In the mad scramble the hog accidentally ran right into him. It wheeled around and started back, but the dogs brought it to bay up against a big rock. What Denny was doing during this time is a mys tery, but nevertheless he put the .250 high-power soft point to him right at the base of the neck, which shattered the vertebrae, killing the boar In stantly. It was a fine specimen and we es timated its weight at between 350 and 400 pounds. Its tushes extended at least four inches from its lower jaw. One of the Portuguese boys came back with us, the rest of the party taking care of the spoils. We brought in the smaller of the two pigs alive to the ball park. SOUTHWORTH TO GO McCredies Turn.

Hawkins, Olympic games point-getter, will don a track suit and compete in the hurdles in the 1917 season remains to be seen. The former University of Oregon cap tain was out yesterday, but he made no attempt to work out. He may de cide to hold a practice meet with him self under cover and if he is success ful in coming up within anywhere near his form three or four years ago he may find time to try for a few medals in the various track and field meets. Jack Grant, brother of Dick Grant, formerly cf Washington High and Stanford University, is looking good in the sprints. Dr. Clough has been watching over the younger Grant for more than three weeks and he feels that he has a coming champion if everything- goes all right. BIG GATHERING OF ATHLETES PROBABLE Gathering at Corvallis Relay Carnival April 7 Promises to Be Record-Breaker. LEADING COLLEGES ENTER Teams From Portland, Los Angeles, Spokane and Willamette Valley to Vie at Annual Indoor Competition. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, March 25. (Special.) The first annual Intercollegiate and inter- scholastic indoor relay carnival, which is to be held at the Oregon Agricul tural College on April 7. will be the scene of one of the largest collections of college, university and high school stars ever gathered together west of the Mississippi River. If the meet may be judged from the numbers who have already signified their intentions of entering. The list will Include all the leading colleges and universities of the Northwest, in addition to entries from the principal high schools of the North west and athletic clubs. . Both the Multnomah Athletic Club and the Los Angeles Athletic Club will enter teams. The University of Idaho will be un able to send a team because of a mili tary encampment. University of WaBh ington and Washington State have been waiting for definite assurance that their teams will be In condition for competition at that time. Spokane Sends Entries. The latest entries to be received came this week from Lewis and Clark High School and from North Central High School, both of Spokane. Each of these schools expects to enter a full team in both relay and field events. Stanford University and University of California have been unable to make arrangements for entries in the car nival, on account of the big meet which is scheduled for next Saturday n the south. It was originally planned to hold the relay carnival in the evening, but since many Portland persons and others at tending from outside towns would be unable to" return before Sunday morn ing, the time of the meet has been set for 2 o'clock in the afternoon. All the officials for the contest have not yet been named. T. Morris Dunne, however, will act as referee, Pete Grant as starter, and Earl R. Goodwin as chief scorer: Other officials will be an nounced within the coming week. Members of the Varsity "O" Associa tion of the State College will serve as secondary officials and assistants. Full teams will be entered from both the University of Oregon and the Ore gon Agricultural College. Coach Pipal has been putting his squad of track aspirants through some rigorous train ing the past week or two. Freshmen Show Strength. The inter-fraternity, lnter-club and inter-independent meets last week, and the inter-class meet Saturday served as tryouts for the big approaching classic. In the class meet all men of the college were made eligible. In cluding letter men, and the first oppor tunity of the season was given for Coach Pipal to formulate an idea on how the team would conduct Itself un der competition. The advent of intra mural track and field events this year has served to uncover a number of dark horses who can aid materially in the securing of second and third places, but the number of possible first-place winners remains as badly depleted as it was the first of the season. In the meets between organizations of the campus last week the majority of the points in each Instance were annexed by - first-year men, and In the inter-class meet Saturday the freshmen swept everything before them. This fact brightens the chances for an Aggie victory in the relay carnival, to which freshmen will be eligible, but spells gloom for the chances of organizing a winning varsity team for conference meets. A final workout will probably be given the team next Saturday on the indoor armory track. In final prepara tion for the relay carnival. MANY NIMRODS VISIT TRAPS J. W. Seavey Is High Gun, While J P.

During afternoon practice the other day a promising young Marysville pick pocket sneaked into the Beavers' dressing-rooms and rifled Lefty Schatzlein's trousers of loose change aggregating 3.b0. A shortage of baseballs almost called a halt on the training work Friday. McCredie thought he had several dozen in the trunks, but when these were opened a search showed only eight baseballs to last three days until the Judge arrives from San Francisco. The boys nursed these along as though they were spheres of radium and tided over the drought. Portland lost a promising young southpaw pitcher due to the war trou bles. Soldiers formerly could buy their way out of the regular Army, but. when Judge McCredie attempted to dicker with the Government officials for the services of "Lefty" Crumpler at Hono lulu, he was told "Nothing doing."

Crumpler is the big youngster who let the Beavers down with five hits, pitching for the Chinese the last day of the Beavers sojourn in Hawaii. Crumpler owns a dandy hook ball, and. when he emerges from the Army a year nenoe, ne may oe ripe for professional baseball.
