SALT LAKE, Utah. April 4. (Spe
cial.) "Walter McCredie today proved
he had another pitcher who will do
when Lynn Brenton warmed the Jack
ets of the Bees to the extent of 9 to 3.
Brenton was sparing- of his yield until
the ninth inning, when he let up. Prior
to that he kept his five hits well scat
tered. Chester Hoff was the victim of
timely and hard hitting- by the Fort
land bunch. Although Hoff did not al
low an extraordinary number of hits
in the earlier innings, he permitted
them when they did most damage to
his side. He mixed in four bases on
balls at critical stages.
Double Flays Help
Three fast double play a" staged by
the Portland team wiped out whatever
chance Salt Lake might have had to
make a dent in Brenton. The double
plays came just right for the Beavers,
for in each case it looked as though
Salt Lake might slip over a few runs.
Williams' double, an out and Hoi
tocher's single counted the first for
the visitors in the second. A wild
throw by Orr and Btumpfs double
spelled another In the third. Farmer
started the fourth with a triple, Will
lams and Rodgers walked. Farmer was
cut down on Hollochers grounder to
Orr. A walk for O'Brien forced In
Williams and a sacrifice fly by Bren
ton sent In Rodgers.
Seventh Beavers' Inning.
Two walks and a hit by Hoff gave
Salt Lake one in the fifth. Portland
scored three in the seventh on sin
gles by Brenton, Wllle and Stumpf, a
hit batsman, a sacrifice by Slglln and
a boot by Orr. Two-baggers by Slglin,
Farmer and Williams and a single by
Stumpf gave Portland two in the ninth.
A Bingle by Orr, a double by Sheeley
and a single by Hannah counted Salt
Lake two in their half of the ninth.

Stovall Declares New Regulation Is
Farce and General Expectation
Is That So W1U Be "Crab
bing;" All Season.
BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
As far as the Portland club is con
cerned the new "four-busher" rule
adopted by the Pacific Coast League
can stand for 1917. Walter McCredle
has been bothered not a bit by the In
novation. In fact. McCredle has no
fewer than 10 or 11 players with him
at Salt Lake eligible to be classified as
"rooks."
Salt Lake, Oakland and San Fran
cisco also are within the pale of the
law, and possibly the same Is true of
Vernon and Los Angeles. These two
last-named clubs, however, - are not
counting upon any of their youngsters
as regulars. Chance and Stovall likely
wilt keep a couple of kids on the pay
roll doing nothing simply to be within
the rule.
Stovall has characterized the new
ukase as a farce and without doubt he
will be crabbing about It all year.
As proof that It Is possible to work a
few youngsters Into the lineup without
making the club look "bushy,' glanoe
over this list of Portland players eligi
ble to be classed as first-year players:
O'Brien. Penner. Flncher, Schatxlein.
Helfrich. HI g bee, ZwelfeL Hollocher,
Plnelll, Ken Williams and possiDiy
Leake. V.
It makes Kenneth Williams peevish
to be called one of the "bushers," but
It Is a fact that Williams has never
completed a full year's service with
any AA or major league club.
San Francisco has Kalllo, Dougherty,
Hollywood and Calvo; Salt Lake. Sheely,
Gislason, Carpenter and a young pitch
er; Oakland has Murray, Sheehan, Mil
ler, Murphy and a young catcher.
Groehling and Meusel of Los Angeles
probably count in the first-year string
and Chance may have a couple more
hiding in obscurity who qualify.
Shortstop Callahan of Vernon Is a
first-year player, but he is the only
"rook" In the squad of regulars. Stovall
likely is carrying a young outfielder to
assist Doane, Daley and Mattlck. and
he may have a couple of young pitchers
or an infielder in leash.
A new rule to prevent squabbling be
tween Coast League clubs over batting
practice periods prior to the games has
been adopted by President Baum. This
rule requires the umpires or at least
one of them, to report at the park an
hour before the games and personally
superintend the ringing of the bells for
the start and finish of fielding and bat
ting practice.
Gus Fisher says the new rule will
help some.
"When we play at San Francisco' the
home club takes about 30 minutes of
batting practice and gives Portland
about five," explained Gus. "They ring
the bell whenever they get tired."
In his instructions to umpires and
managers President Baum also called
attention to a stricter interpretation of
the balk rule. Perhaps not 60 per cent
of the balks were called last year in the
league. President Baum's decision to
call a halt to this balking will meet
with favor both in the stands and on
the playing bench.

RELAY IS APRIL 21
Indoor Athletic Carnival Date
Change Is Approved.
NORTHWEST TO TAKE PART
Big Field and Track Gathering In
Columbia University Coliseum
Will Be Held on Saturday,
April 1 4 Plans Gain Way.
The announcement that Coach Jo
seph A. PlpaL of the Oregon Aggies,
had decided to postpone the first an
nual Indoor relay carnival originally
billed for next Saturday afternoon met
with approval of every coach of the
Portland Interscholastlo League as
well as other Institutions throughout
the Northwest.
The date for the carnival has been
changed to April 21, two weeks from
next Saturday, and the week previous
the Columbia TJnlversly gathering In
Portland will be held.
Old Jupe Pluvlus has held sway for
the last month, with the result that
none of the track and field teams have
been able to obtain any outdoor work
outs but once or twice so far during
the 1917 season.
The coaches have not wanted to take
any chances of putting their star
sprinters on the "blink" by sending
them outside in the chilly atmosphere.
The present weather does not seem to
be any better for track stars to train.
The first big track and field meet of
the 1917 season as far as Portland
teams are concerned will be a week
from next Saturday In the Columbia
University Coliseum. Coach Dominic
Calllcrate, who is handling the affair
this year, is trying to have the biggest
entry list possible for the occasion. He
has received encouraging replies from
practically all the leading colleges.
high schools and clubs throughout Ore
gon stating that they would be repre
sented by at least one athlete and some
as high as 20.
The first event will start promptly
at 2 o'clock and every event will be
run off in clock-like regularity. T.
Morris Dunne, who has refereed every
prominent track and field meet In the
Northwest for many years and several
in California, has a schedule for events
which he is going to use and no waits
or delays will characterize the con
tests, as has been the case in previous
meets.
Several members of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College track and field squad
may be seen in action as unattached
athletes In both the Columbia Uni
versity gathering April 14 and the
Oregon Aggie relay carnival at Cor-
vallls. Or.. April 21. Coach Plpal has
several stars who are freshmen and
therefore ineligible to compete in var
sity sports, so the two meets will give
the "Gray Fox" a chance to obtain a
line on his material for the 1918 cam
paign. Coach-Manager George Philbrook. -of
the Multnomah Amateur Athletlo Club
contingent, has hopes of winnings the
Columbia meet a week from Saturday.
While his team has not been able to
obtain much practice, he figures that
they will be in condition to give the
other college boys a run for their
money if they figure they can win.
Captain Walter A. Hummel and
Coach-Manager Philbrook have held
several sessions trying to decide just
how to segregate the athletes for the
various events. The present plans are
to enter every athlete possible in as
many events as possible, so that they
will be able to grab up those extra
third and fourth-place points. The
team that will be taken to Corvallis
for the relay carnival of April 21 will
be determined according to the show
ing made by the Multnomah stars at
Columbia University a week from Sat
urday. Charley Parsons, the captain of the
Washington High School track team,
who was easily figured on two or three
first places in the field events of the
Portland Interscholastlo League, has
enlisted, as did "Pussy" Graves, the
star Washington High mller. Both
were stationed at the Vancouver,
Wash., barracks.
Abe "Hindu" Welnstein. the star
guard on the Portland Newsboys' 130
pound championship basketball team.
Is serving his country. He Joined the
Oregon National Guard last week and
at present is In Vancouver with his
company.
