Anger, caused by the results of his own wildness, lost the game today for Brenton, in the box for Portland, and let in a bunch of three runs before the visiting sharpshooter got his range again. The final score was 7 to 1 in Vernon's favor. In the third inning, with the score 3-1, Chief Johnson, of the Tigers, swung at a wild pitch on the third strike, and beat his way to first. Mr. Brenton was clearly annoyed thereby and in the ex citement of the moment he let Coane walk; then he fanned Daley; then Gal loway doubled and the next man walked. Stovall sacrificed, scoring Galloway. The old ball game rocked along then until the eighth frame, when once again the Tigers, with two passes, a double steal and a nice little bunch of singles brought in three more tallies. Simon and Johnson worked for the Tigers and held the Portland aggrega tion to seven hits, which by good sup port, were reduced to a lonesome run. The first corner was the busiest sector of the salient today. Borton had 12 putouts, while Stovall made it 13 for himself.

DETROIT, April 11. Oscar Vitt, star third baseman of the Detroit Ameri cans, who declined to sign his 1917 con tract because of salary differences, was automatically suspended -today.

It has been rumored that Vitt will soon come to Detroit from his home in California to discuss his dis agreement with Mr. Navin. Bobby Jones will play third base, at least temporarily.

Zweifel, therefore, was ordered to return to Portland and await the Beavers" homecoming April 24 By that time McCredie will know whether he desires to keep Higbee or to turn iwia uacK to me fciuincy club, of the Three-Eye League. "We bumped Into very cold weather at Salt Lake." remarked the big Swiss slabster. "I bumped into more than that the day Manager McCredie sent me into the iox. They gave me a fierce reception. I guess I must have been a little nervous. Toward the end of the series the weather mod erated to some extent and I did not hear any of the boys complaining of sore arma "Leake, the new pltcheer. Is a well built righthander. I should estimate his weight at 180 pounds." Zweifel expressed some surprise at the thumping the Vernon Tigers gave Brenton yesterday. Like everybody else who has been in th Beavers' stronghold. Zweifel thinks Brenton is one of the classiest twlrters Port land has had in uniform for some sea sons. Despite their "bushy" work against the Oaks and Seals in the Spring, the Chicago Cubs galloped out and won their opener yesterday. e How the bleacherites are going to "ride" George Stovall when he trots his Vernon club onto the local dia mond this season. Like the elephant, the bleacherite never forgets when a ballplayer or manager makes a grand bluff and then backs down on it. Sto vall did a, lot of talking about chasing McCredie over the fence, but it was all air. Carson Bigbee, the University of Ore gon boy, who graduated to the Pitts burg National League club last Fall from Tacoma after having a brief trial with the Beavers, has made known his engagement to Miss Grace Bing ham, daughter of State Senator Bing ham, of Eugene. Bigbee andi Miss Bingham attended college together. The we'ddlng probably will take place upon Carson's return at the conclu sion of the major league season. If Manager Mitchell, of the Cubs, can get Tom Hickey to report he may show the big league fans a real south paw. Hickey Is the char who, with Speed Martin, whitewashed the Beav ers 1 to 0 at Marysvllle in the last game of the training season. He hails from Santa Clara College. Hickey Is six feet three Inches tall and weighs 213 pounds. Manager Mc Credie, of Portland, has tried to land the boy for the last three seasons. Paul Fittery. the little Salt Lake southpaw, seems to have won a reg- nlaoA xxrltti th Prillllea. Tf EDDa Rixey can't hold 'em, then Fittery will be caiiea on. Big League Chatter. TWO "Chucks" are breaking in this season at shortstop in the National League Ward with Pittsburg and Wortman with the Cubs. St. Louis, in the National League, lost 820,000 last season. Christy Mathewson has decided to carry eight pitchers this season. Jimmy Mlddleton Is practically the only Giant recruit that will be kept with the team. "I'd be a Chick Evans if they pitched golf balls to me. Instead of having to pick "em off a tee at my feet," said Cap Anson in discussing his ability on the links. I d be a whole lot better, too. If they built tees shoulder high. I took up golf five years ago and found it was quite different from driving out base hits." Dick Rudolph is bothered with a sore arm.
