After a whirlwind assault on the Tiger machine in the morning game for a seven to two victory, the Portland Beaver ball club went down to an in glorious 6-0 defeat this afternoon be fore the no-hit pitching of "Chief'" Johnson, to whom is accredited the first game of the kind for the season. In the morning Brenton and Fisher worked against Fromme and Mltze and the seven runs were netted from six hits by the kindly assistance of Messrs. Fromme, Hollocher and Rodgers. But in the afternoon "Chief" John son struck out nine men, made two put-outs, two assists, one hit and one run, which is going tome for a pitch er. He had good support, the only err or by Callahan being a hard try for one he ought to have had. The Beavers presented Messrs. Hel frich and Leake, supported by Mr. Fisher, in their justly celebrated avia tion act: Mr. Helfrich let the Tigers take three runs and five hits, while Mr. Leake cordially reciprocated by letting them take five hits and three runs. Stumpf, of Portland, broke into the box score, the limelight and the discard In rapid succession. He was sent in to pinch hit in the sixth and stayed up Just long enough to get three strikes called on him.

The Oregonian baseball team put an end to any championship aspirations which the West End nine may have had when it took the big end of a. 9-to-3 score In the game played at the Sellwood Park grounds yesterday morning. The game was a snappy exhibition of ball considering the fact that the boys had to contend with a. wet field and a wet hall. Anderson showed good con trol in his pitching for the Oregonian team and Kranenicke, a new catcher, won his spurs with several nifty plays. Jake Webb also showed- up well at third for the Oregonian nine. Baseball Summary. STANDINGS OF THE TEAMS. National JLeague. W. L. P.C.I W. L. P.C.

A. C. Will Not Be Postponed. LEADING ATHLETES SIGNED Mose Payne, Ralph Coleman and PanI Clyde to Compete In Stellar Event Complete Arrange ments for Programme Made. A special added attraction which will be well worth the price of admis sion is being arranged for the Oregon Agricultural College indoor relay car nival slated for Corvallls, Or., next Sat urday afternoon, by Manager Everett May. It is a feature mile race be tween Mose Payne of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club; Ralph Coleman, of the Oregon Aggies and Paul Clyde of the University of Washington. Manager Everett May was a Port land visitor the week-end, taking in the Columbia University track and field meet last Saturday in which the Winged "M" athletes won out with 43 points, the Oregon Aggie varsity was second with 28 points, the Aggie Fresh men third with 19 points and the Uni versity of Oregon fourth with 11 mark ers. He telegraphed to Clyde In Seattle asking that the "Northwest Wind" come to Corvallls and compete in the exhibition mile. Clyde Holds Coast Record. Clyde is one of the best distance runners ever turned out on the Pacific Coast. He holds the coast record for the mile run at 4 minutes 19 3-5 and he was always able to show real speed in the event whenever he started. Payne and Coleman tangled last Saturday and after a wonderful race on the Colum bia indoor track the Cardinal and White wearer broke the tape first, scarcely a yard ahead of Coleman in 4:34. Complete arrangements for the race will be made later in the week, as soon as Manager May hears from Clyde. Manager May left for Corvallls last night after having rounded up enough entries from Portland to assure the spectators of a great meet next Satur day. .Under no circumstances will the af fair be postponed, says Coach Joseph A. Pipal, of the Oregon Aggies. Prepara tions have been going on for more than two months now and everything is so far advanced that there is no chance to call off hostilities. Oregon's Action Is Surprise. The report that the University of Oregon would not eend several repre sentatives to compete in the athletic carnival at Corvallls Saturday came with a complete surprise by all con cerned last Saturday but before he left for Eugene Coach William L. Hayward said that he thought that arrangements could be made whereby a squad would be taken to the Aggie armory. Athletic contests at the University have been postponed and cancelled be cause of the international situation but now that many of the leading military authorities are heartily in favor of athletics until conditions warrant their discontinuance, it may be that games will be re-arranged. Meet to Be Held at 2 o'clock. The meet Saturday will etart at 2 o'clock and will be run off the fastest of any track gathering ever held in the Pacific Northwest, according to Man ager May. The contestants and Port land visitors will be the guests of hon or at a dance given by the Student body Saturday night and arrangements are being made for a grand time. The Lewis & Clark high school and the North Central high school, both of Spokane, Wash., were rather dubi ous as to whether or not they should send a quartet of relay runners to en ter the interscholastic events on the grounds that they would not receive much competition. If any of the Inland Empire athletes could have seen the way the Jefferson high boys captured the relay at Colum bia Saturday they would never fear of not having much competition at Cor vallls Saturday. Jefferson high has entered to compete against the Spo kane teams. Special rates have been obtained on all railroad lines but Manager May asks that all secure a receipt so that the fare and a third may be obtained for the round trip. A delegation of ' Portlanders have planned on leaving on the 8:30 o'clock train Saturday morning while several others have arranged their affairs to leave Portland in time to take in the festivities Friday night previous to the track and field meet.

The pro posed 20-round bout scheduled to be held here April 23 between Les Darcy of Australia and Jeff Smith of New York will not take place according to an announcement made last night af ter a meeting of the directors of an athletic club that had arranged the match.

The University of Montana baseball team won a sensational 12-innlng game, 10 to 9, from the University of Idaho here yesterday when Gossman, the Montana third Backer, hit a long fly with two men on bases and one out, the base runner on third scoring after the catch. Montana led. 9 to 2, at the beginning of the ninth, but Idaho tied the count by making seven runs. Captain Sanderson, of the Montana team, made three triples and a double.

Eddie Brewster Pinkman says he Is going to knock Muff Bronson down Just as fast as he can get up when the pair meet for the Northwest lightweight championship at the Rose City Athletic Club, April 24. The present kingpin of lightweights in this section of the country unloads this secret in one of his frequent letters. Jack Grant, the veteran Portland referee, was told yesterday what Pink man said. "Well, I'll tell you," mused Grant. "Just before the last Pinkman Bronson battle the Seattle boy told me something which made me laugh at the time and sounded even more unreason able than his latest remarks. "Eddie was explaining to me how he could knock Lloyd Madden down as fast as he would get up. I thought this was impossible, but Pinky went right back to Seattle and did it, didn't he? They tell me he had Madden wallowing all over the floor and sent him to the mat at least six times in four rounds. I won't say that it is impossible for him to treat Bronson as he says he will after he made good his threat against Madden. However, it's improbable, to say the least."

Even a good-natured guy like Rich ard Laughingwater Williams finds it impossible to get along with that grouchy cuss. Edward Alden Beals, the district forecaster. The Oregon mist hit the Spokane Indians in the slats again yesterday, making a clean sweep of the Spokane-Intercity League teams' games in Portland. The Northwestern League champions were billed to start against Clyde Ru pert's Beavers yesterday, but the con tinual downpour kept the teams from stripping for action. Spokane leaves this morning for Seattle, where after spending a day in the Sound City it will Jaunt to Euphrata, Wash., for a game tomorrow. Wednesday the Indians bat tle Odessa, arriving in the Inland City that night.

Spo kane always plays Gonzaga the Sunday before the opening of the season. Butte opens the Blewett season at Spokane April 24. The games scheduled between Spo kane and the Washington State College and Oregon Agricultural College teams at Natatorium Park. Spokane. have been cancelled. Suspension of athletics at the schools is the cause. Nick Wil liams is glad that the Oregon Aggie struggle is off, for he had given Thomas Everett May a guarantee. Spokane will lose approximately $800 on this Spring's training, declares Man ager Nick Williams. The jump from California here so soon is the reason. If the blonde Connie Mack of the Northwestern circuit had stuck under the Bear State's sunny skies he would have at least bad some kind of gate re ceipts, whereas he was knocked out of two successive Saturday and Sunday games here by temperamental J. Pluvlus. Williams can't figure how he can miss losing J800 on his training, even allowing for good crowds the rest of the session. Although his share of the gate money In California was small, it was something, and his athletes had a chance to get in shape. Southpaw George Swartz. the local heaver, and Cole, a left-hander from San Francisco, were released by Will iams yesterday. The rest of the squad will go north. Howard Mundorf joined the team. Pitchers Herman Schatzlein and Lefty McMorran will be telegraphed tickets within a few days. .' Jackson, last year with Los Angeles for awhile, and Red Baldwin, catcher, obtained from Tacoma for Outfielder Harry Harper, have accepted terms and will leave for Spokane at once. Jack son is in St. Louis and Baldwin In Oak land. Baldwin will be the first string catcher of the Indians. Harper, who figured in the Baldwin deal, has al ready joined Russ Hall's Tacoma Tigers.

Pitcher Al Zweifel. who went to Honolulu with the Beavers, will ac company the Spokane Indians north today, but Johnny Brandt, the other rookie from the Portland sandlots, will not be taken. Frank Le Roy Chance has added one more prediction to his long list. He says that Bobby Davis, ex-Beaver, will be in the major leagues next year if he hits .275 or better in the Coast League this season. Bobby wound up last year 10 notches below .275. Bring ing Davis" mark up to .275 on a win ning ball club shouldn't be such a hard task. Jules Pap pa, the Sacramento boy who played in the Coast League at odd times, has signed with Vancouver, of the Northwestern League. Nick Will iams was after Pappa, offering Harry Harper in exchange for his release, but could not land him. Now Harper has gone to Tacoma for Red Baldwin. Of the several million b ushers who went into camp with Nick Williams, 4t now appears that UtschJg. once a high school boy of San Francisco, is the only one to land a job. .
