Today's Games.
No games scheduled, traveling day.
SALT LAKE, Utah, April 8. (Spe
cial.) Lynn Brenton didn't get away
to a very good start today and the Salt
Lakers won the final game of the
series, 7 to 3. The set closed with an
rven break, three games each. Ollie
Kirmayer, the gent who shut out the
Beavers on the opening day, again
showed pitching skill in the pinches
and repeatedly worked himself out of
tight places.
Dennle Wilie won the distinction of
having knocked the first fly ball over
the left field fence in the local park
this season, every one of the other
homers having been over the right wall.
Denny, although a left-hand hitter,
caught the fourth ball pitched by Kir
xneyer on the end of his hickory and
away she went.
Day Good and Crowd Big.
The day was good and a big crowd
turned out. The opening week, in spite
of three cold days, has been a success
from a financial standpoint, as well as
from the standpoint of good baseball,
every one of the exhibitions having
been an interesting contest.
Wilie opened for the Beavers in the
first with a home-run drive for a tally.
Salt Lake piled up five runs in their
half. Tobin and Rath singled and
Gislason walked, filling the bases. Ryan
grounded to Borton, who cut Tobin
down at the plate.
Shinn was hit by a pitched ball,
forcing Rath across. Orr soaked out
a stinging two-bagger, scoring Gislason
and Ryan and putting Shinn on third,
where he was replaced as runner by
Quinlan. At this point Helfrich came
to Brenton's rescue. Sheely fanned and
then a wild pitch scored Quinlan. Orr
cored on Hannah's single.
Bees Add One in Second.
The locals added another in the sec
ond on Tobin's walk, Rath's sacrifice
and Gislason's single. Their last one
was made in the fourth. Williams
muffed Tobin's long fly. Tobin stole
second, went to third on an out and
scored on Gislason's single.
Portland scored in the fourth when
Orr's wild throw gave Rodgers a life.
A walk for Farmer sent Bill along and
lie scored when Gislason muffed a
throw from Orr on a play that looked
like a certain double retirement.
Farmer's double and Williams' single
counted the other for McCredie in the
.sixth. The visitors got two hits in
each of the seventh and eighth, but
died in their tracks. Three fast double
plays helped Kirmeyer out materially.
Gus Fisher today received a telegram
Informing him of the death of a sister
In Texas.
Fisher's sister was Mrs. Laura Hud
son. 33 years of age. and she lived at
Granbury, Tex. She was born at Col
linsville, Tex., where Fisher also was
born. The telegram announced that
Mrs. Hudson's death was sudden, but
the cause was not given.

RUPERT GETS LONE TALLY
Score Blade Off Maxmeyer, Allowing
Two Hits In Three Innings.
Swartz, Webb and Catcher
Johnson Join Indians.
BT HARRY GRAYSON.
Owing to the soggy condition of the
Vaughn-street orchard. Manager Rich
ard Laughlngwater Williams, of the
Spokane Northwestern League cham
pions, did not lorce his regulars to
practice yesterday afternoon, but he
sent four or five of them and some
rookies against the West Side team of
the Inter-City League and defeated it. 3
to 1, in seven cantos.
The game afforded the recruits a lit
tle batting practice and pleased the 300
or 400 fans in the grandstand who
braved the mist to get a. wee bit of the
National pastime.
George Swartz, Portland semi-professional
southpaw; Richard Ripping
Maxmeyer and Hal Bloomfield toiled
on the hillock for the visitors. Swartz
looked good and did not allow a hit or
a run in two innings. Manager Will
lams pleased his old friend Maxmeyer
by requesting him to take over Swartz'
burden in the third.
Rupert's one tally was s ored against
Maxy, who allowed two hits in a trio
of innings. Hal Bloomfieldf a raw-
looking brother of "Parson Bill" Bloom-
rieia, ex-Portland flinger, allowed no
hits or runs in the last two rounds.
Johnny Brandt pitched the first three
Innings for West Side. A swinging
bunt was the only semblance of a base
knock oft of the kid who went to Hono
lulu with the Beavers. He allowed the
one run made off him when he threw
the ball almost Into the right field
bleachers upon fielding the aforemen
tioned swinging bunt. Lefty Heiman,
the well-known boy-farmer of Gilbert
Station, served the mustard for the
home boys for the rest of the afternoon,
permitting the other two runs made by
Spokane on three smites.
O. H. Johnson, the big catcher from
Roundup, Mont., caught for Spokane,
while Dave McBrlde and a newcomer,
Craks, Iid the receiving for Rupert
... Pitchers Swartz and Emery Webb and
Catcher Johnson Joined the Indians yes
terday and Swartz will have a thor
ough trial. Webb is looked upon as
one of the Indians' mainstays this sea
son. Infielder Frank Giugnl will join
the team upon its arrival in Spokane.
...
Infielder Bobby Coltrin and Pitcher
Hal Bloomfield, of Spokane, left last
night for the Inland Empire city. Col
trin has had plenty of conditioning with
Oakland, while Bloomfield has been
pitching in California practically all
Winter, and Manager Williams figures
that there is nothing to be gained in
carrying them with him further.
. .
Paxton, an infielder from the Im
perial Valley League, played second
base for Spokane in yesterday's workout-
He did not show much, owing
to the fact that It was his first time
out, and will not be carried by Will
lams. Paxton will most likely play
with some Inter-City League aggrega
tion. Despite the fact that last year's Spo
kane pennant winners were practically
wiped out by sale and draft, the blonde
Connie Mack of Bob Blewetfs outfit
has the nucleus of another great team.
Bob Marshall, obtained from Portland,
will start the season as first-string
backstop. It is not likely that John
son, the Montanan, will do, but within
a few days Manager Williams will be
flooded with telegrams for Jobs from
all over the country.
Williams has a crackerjack ball
player in First Baseman Meusel, from
Oakland. Nick is predicting that Meu
sel will be another Harry Heilmann
He Is a big fellow, six feet, three and
one-half inches tall, and ,has been whal
ing the pill in practice. Boby Coltrin
McGinnis and Giugni will form the rest
of the inner works, while at the pres
ent writing Harry Harper and Utschig,
a shifty San Francisco semi-professional,
who has had trials with Oak
land, have two of the gardens cinched.
Another outfielder is a necessity.
...
From Lyle Bigbee Portland 1 nio
enich, Holling, Lefty Schorr (Portland)
Hal Bloomfield, Emery Webb and
Swartz, Nick can pick three or four
who, added to a couple he expects to
get out of the Coast League as soon as
they flivver in the AA circuit, will
make up a pretty shifty pitching staff.
Eight of last years' Spokane club are
now In faster company. Pitcher ria-
car Harstad and Outfielder Kenneth
Williams are the property of Portland;
Catcher Sheely, Pitcher Rube Evans
and Infielder Gaard Gislason are with
bait Lake; Catcher Dan Murrav and
Outfielder Eddie Mensor are Oaks,
wnne fiicner uutch Reuther Is & Chi
cago Cub. If all of these players make
good in faster company. Manager Wil
liams says that the Spokane baseball
company will receive approximately
ouu as a. result or the disposal of
them.
The blonde-thatched boss of the Sno-
kanes will board the train for Eugene
toaay ror aauy sessions with the Uni
versity of Oregon boys from Monday
to Thursday. On Friday the B League
cnampions may play the (Jamas Inter-
City League team at Camas, and next
Saturday and Sunday will hook up
with the Kirkpatricks and the West
Side teams of Freddie Bay's cir
cuit at Vaughn street.
Nick will go home either via We-
natchee, playing an exhibition at Eu-
phrata. Wash., or by way of Pendleton
and Walla Walla, appearing there
against home clubs. He must be in
Spokane by April 19 as he is billed for
a game with the Oregon Aggies at Na
tatorium Park on that date. Spokane
opens the Northwestern League season
at Spokane, April 24, against Butte.

Birmingham of the Southern Asso

for the services of Outfielder Billy
Southworth, Beaver player trying to

League club. Judge William Wallace
McCredie. president of the Portland
Baseball Company, received word yes
terday from Walter McCredie in Salt
Lake that Birmingham had made an
offer for Billy in the event of his not
making good with the Pirates.
Southworth is much in demand. New
ark of the International League is also
after him. But Pittsburg has him on
trial and Judge McCredie cannot very
well set a price to Newark and Birm
ingham unless Pittsburg turns him
back. Walter McCredie is negotiating
