" Portland versus Oakland at San Francisco,
tan Francisco at Salt Lake.
Vernon at Los Angeles.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
If someone doesn't top those San
Francisco Seals they'll be making a
runaway race of the Pacific Coast
League Just as the Angels did last
Spring-. Some there were who couldn't
see the Seals with long-range binocu
lars before the bell rung. As wise a
student of baseball form as Gue Fisher,
Portland catcher, felt sorry for the
Seals without Pins Bodle and Bobby
Jones. But the said Seals, by winning
the opening series from Vernon and
taking six out of seven from Oakland,
have shown themselves to be strong
offensively and defensively, and not
In the least in need of sympathy or
flowers.
. After a bad start Portland fared very
well against Vernon, losing the odj
game of the seven series Sunday after
noon. "Chief" Johnson hung up the
first no-hit no-run game of the Coast
season against the Beavers. Penner,
Brenton and Fincher all came through
with victories, thus bearing out the
dope from the Spring capms. Byron
Houck again fizzled, and the newcom
ers. Helfrlch and Leake, receipted for a
similar bombardment
Byron Houck is notoriously a late
atarter. Last year Byron lost his first
two starts and then came home and
began going great guns. When once
under headway Houch pitched as well
as either Sothoron or Noyes, who are
now in the big- leagues. He lost a great
number of tough luok low-hit games.
Some of the Beaver sluggers are
away below par.i Big Jack Parmer
hasn't gotten up steam yet. Perhaps
the big Pittsburg outfielder got too
many of his famed extra-base knocks
out of his Bystem In camp at Marys
ville. Bill Rodgers and Hollocher are
two others who have not struck their
batting stride.
Dennie "Wllie and Kenneth Williams,
however, have been stinging the horse
hide. Wllle's case is just such another
as that of Jimmy Johnston, now of
DrooKiyn. vviue nas had' two or three
tr-ials in the big leages, but somehow
the major league managers haven't been
able to "see" him. Back he has come
to the minors always to play great ball.
Johnston suffered the same trials,
finally going back to Brooklyn, getting
off to a good start, and proving a main
cog in the National League champion
ship ball club last year.
What the Portland club seems'to need
most of all is a reliable southpaw
twirler. Not one of the youngsters has
earned his clam chowder, and unless
the lads come through this week Man
ager McCfedle doubtless will be ready
to make some announcements.
One game under .500 for the first two
weeks away from home, however, isn't
t at all bad sledding. If the boys can
win the series from the Oaks this week
they will come home with an even
break. And it should be no difficult
feat to beat the Oaks. In the words of
a once popular melody. "Everybody's
doing It now."
Another big league ball club Is on the
trail of Billy Southworth this time
Cincinnati. Unfortunately for Bill the
Portland club sold his release to the
- Birmingham club, of the Southern As
sociation, a few days ago. Cincinnati
will have to do business with Birming
ham, and, as Garry Hermann is un
willing to part with any coin until he
has given the ex-Beaver gardener a try
out, it is not likely that Southworth
wll get his chance with the Reds
Southworth trained with Pittsburg this
Spring but failed to impress Manager
Callahan.
At the general meetinsr of thv Pnrt.
land Baseball Boosters held yesterday
delegates were named to call on the
various business firms of the city to
urge that they permit all employes to
participate in tne opening dav fes
tivlties. Judge Gatens was empowered
to confer with the School tlpard with a
view to having a half-holiday declared

mayer did not have such good luck
against Chance's nine last week as be
did against Portland, being batted out
of the box In the 16-to-S defeat handed
the Bees by Los -Angeles at Salt Lake
last Saturday in the first game of a
double-header.
Klrmayer was on the Bloomlngton
club in the Three-Eye League with Joe
Jackson, the young outfielder who was
with Los Angelea for a while last year,
and who Is now on his way to loin Spo
kane.
It was In ltlS that the Angels were
looking for new players. Jackson was
touted to the Angels, and Owner Pow
ers started corresponding with the
Bloomlngton owners. The latter as
serted Jackson was one of the bright
est prospects In the game and wanted
S4500 for him. with two pitchers thrown
in for full measure. The Angels took
Jackson, while the St. Louis Browns
drafted Klrmayer last Fall. He w
secured by President Murphy, of the
Bees, from Fielder A. Jones' club.
Klrmayer Is a big, right-handed
heaver who has a deceiving under

Outside of Joe Jackson, of the White
Sox, the name Jackson does not stand
for much In the baseball world, at least
not In this Western country.
Portland fans remember "Stonewall
Jackson, the weak-hitting first base
man who slumped from the Coast
League a few seasons ago to the Se
attle North westerners and then J -imped
to the Feds. Ho never amounted to
much. Joe Jackson, the recruit -with
Los Angeles last year, will play with
bpokane this season. Frank Chance
tried to do something with him, but
even the Peerless Leader admitted that
Stonehead Jackson, the name San
Francisco writers gave him, fitted the
outfielder to a "T."
The fact that Los Angelea got but
four of seven scheduled games in at
Salt Lake last week, missing the Sun
day double-header entirely and being
forced to play a double bill Saturday
because of an early week postponement.
shows that Portland was pretty lucky
to get in its full number of games In
the Utah metropolis the first week of
the season.
Although the Beaver-Bee contests
were threatened by snow for two days,
they were all played, and McCredle's
pocketbook thusly was benefited.

Mrs. "Bunny" Brief, wife of the Salt

removed to a hospital at Ann Arbor.
Mich. "Bunny" will leave to Join the

danger. If all conditions are favorable
Bunny should Join the Bees between
May 5 and May 15.
Joe Berger, last year with Oakland
and previously with the Chicago White
box, nas signed a Kock Island contract
and will fill the shoes left vacant by
the recalling of Charley Hollocher by
Walter McCredie. He refused to Join
Oakland because he was asked to pay

ular attention will be paid ' this year
by the vai us clubs In the Northwest
district to the Junior events. This
is said to be the first time that or
ganized effort has been jade in be
half of the younger players in the
Pacific Northwest.
The plan now is to hold junior cham
pionships and boys' cha pionshlps in
each one of the tennis centers in the
Pacific Nor.hwest, notably Seattle, Ta
coma, Portland, Spokane and Lewis
ton. Any boy is eligible to erter the
junior championship vr to will not be
19 years old before October 1, and the
limit provided rr in tne doj
events will be 16 years. The winners
of these two events will hold the cham
pionship for each district in which he
plays.
Plans are on foot to nave an inde

so that there may 'e a playoff, thus
determining who is to be the cham
pion for the entire district.

The dates of the championship have
not yet been assigned. . The preliminary
events probably will be played off early

high school duties are disposed of. The
independent playorr win proDamy tane

have ttn days' or two weeks' play on
the Eastern courts he may haye the
opportunity to do so.

Chet Mclntyre has succeeded Colonel
William Inglis as superintendent of the
Seattle Athletic Club.

Big Jim Coffey, the only glass-Jawed
heavyweight contender in captivity,
who consistently refuses to admit that
he can't fight, has started another cam
paign.
If you listen to the Drotnernooa oi
conductors and motormen In and
around Greater New York you will get
vision of the heavyweight crown
resting upon the classic brow of Cof
fey in the course of a few more months.
Those traffic boys are simply dairy
over the big fellow.
In the past few weeks Coffey has
been meeting all of the trial horses
promoters have been able to dig up for
him. among them Bob Devere, Terry
Keller and several leaser lights.
Mike Gibbons, generally recognized
in the United States as the middle
weight champion of the world, will
meet some good middleweight in Port
land May 8, says Joe Flanlgan, who
returned from Seattle yesterday. On
May 18 Tommy Gibbons, claimant of
the ll&ht heavyweight championship,
will be pitted against a crack light
heavy or heavyweight. Flanigan com
pleted arrangements with Eddie Kane,
handler of the two St. Paul phantoms,
who is in Seattle.

Tommy Gibbons, who will appear
here May 18. has a long string of vic
tories scored over the best light-heavyweights
in the game. Among them are
Young Mahoney. Gus Christie, Bob
Mo ha, Billy Miske, who has been beaten
twice by Tom; Buck Crouse, Joe Wor

Joe Stecher, of Nebraska, is going to
make one great attempt to regain the
wrestling championship of the world.
Upon the command of his wife. Stecher
is angling for a return matcn witn tne
youthful Earl Caddock, of Iowa, who
took the title away from the Nebraskan
April 9. "I'm not making any excuses
for having lost," says Stecher.
Harry Stone, the New Yorker, Is
springing something new over in
Australia. He is enjoying such success
in knocking out his opponents that he
has purchased a tent and goes around
the country meeting all comers. Stone
might be accused of stealing Je,ss Wil-

but he has no counter attractions such
as the bearded lady.
About 150 members, admirers of
Tommy Gibbons, attended a compli
mentary banquet in his honor at thi
St. Paul Hotel Just before the two Gib
bons boys left on their Western tour.
Following the dinner several speakers,
headed by Mayor V. R. Irvln, praised
him as a boxer and a citizen. At the
conclusion Tommy was given a gold

Don't Experiment With Catarrh;
It Often Leads to Dread Consumption
You Will Never Be Cured by
Local Treatment With Spray
and Douches.
Catarrh Is a condition of the blood
and cannot be cured by local applica
tions of sprays and douches; this has
been proven by the thousands who have
yainly resorted to this method of treat
ment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or
experimented with. The wrong treat
ment Is valuable time lost, during
which the disease is getting a firmer
hold uoon its victim, and making it
more difficult for even the proper treat-
men to accomplish results.
Though Catarrh makes its nrst ap
pearance In the nostrils, throat and air
passages, the disease becomes moreand
more aggravated and finally reaches
down into the lungs, and everyone rec
ognizes the alarming condition that re
sults when the lungs are affected. Thus
Catarrh may be the forerunner of that
most dreaded and hopeless of all dis
eases, consumption.
No local treatment affords permanent
relief. Experience has taught that
S. S. S. Is the one remedy which attacks
the disease at its source, the blood, and
produces satisfactory results in even
the worst cases. Catarrh sufferers are
urged to give S. S. S. a thorough trial.
It is sold by all drunggists. You are In
vited to write to the medical depart
ment fr expert advice as to how to
treat your own case. Address Swift
