SAN FRANCISCO, April 18. (Spe
cial.) The Oaks made it two In a row
from Portland today, because Bill
Burns pitched a steady game and the
Oaks were better than their opponents
at everything. The score was: Oak
land, 5; Portland, 1.
Byron Houck started for Portland
and walked both Chadbourne and
Mensor. Middleton bunted them along,
and, although Hack Miller struck out.
Rod Murphy delivered a two-base hit
and put the two runs over. Middle
ton hit in the third, stole second, took
third on an infield hit and then stole
home. Hack Miller scored the other
two runs with a home-run drive in the
fifth.
Rodgers saved his team from a shut
out in the fourth, when he doubled.
took third on Wilie's hit and scored
on an infield hit. McCredie used
Houck, Fincher and Higbee and none
of them baffled the Oaks.
Tom Hickey, the large left-hander
of banta Clara College, was in a Port'
land uniform today, but he has not
signed. The Chicago Cubs and Connie
Mack are after the big fellow. Score:

OAKS' NEW CATCHER MYSTERY
Rumor Is That Walter Schmidt May
Come From Pittsburg.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 18. (Spe
cial.) There is mystery about the
catcher Oakland is to get from a big
league club. One rumor is that It Is
Walter Schmidt, the old San Francisco
catcher, who is coming from the
Pirates.
Schmidt would make a wonderful
difference to the Oaks, or not only is
he a smart catcher, but he can hit and
scamper around the paths.
SEALS RELEASE SEPUIiVEDA
Catcher Undecided as to Future and
He. May Retire.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18. (Spe
cial.) Catcher Sepulveda, of the Seals,
has his five days' notice of release.
Wolverton tried to place the catcher
with several' other leagues but failed.
Sepulveda does not yet know what
he will do. He may retire.
Clifford Ball Wins Anglers' Prize.
OREGON CITY. April 18. (Special)
Clifford Ball, of this city, has been
informed that the Oregon Salmon Club
Racing Season of Western Canada
Fairs Association Will Begin on
June 2 9 and $50,175 Will
Be Offered in Prizes.
Despite the war. Western Canada is
proceeding with all lines of sport. Of
course, baseball slumped badly when
the war started, but reports from
Canada indicate that if the Western
Canada League had been reorganized
this season it would have experienced
a profitable season. Even now, Amerl
ca's National game is being played by
the semi-professionals to a great ex
tent
Boxing Also Is Popular.
The latest indication that sport is
far from being dead in Western Can
ada is the arrival of a booklet in Port
land containing entry forms, and full
particulars of information for the guid
ance of horsemen. It has been issued
by the Western Canada Fairs Associa
tion. The racing season of the asso
ciation starts with Calgary's fair, June
29, and closes with Weyburn and Prince
Albert on August 11. The complete I
list of circuit dates is as follows:
'Calgary $9"i00; June 20 to July 3.
Red Deer $1975; July S to 7.
Edmonton 8100; July 9 to 14.
Brandon $7!j00; July 16 to 20.
Regina $7500: July 23 to 27.
Saskatoon $6550; July 30 to August 3.
North Battleford $1800: August 6 to 8.
Yorkton $li00: August 6 to 7.
Prince Albert $275u; August 9 to 11.
Weyburn $2000; August 8 to 11.
A total of $50,175 will be distributed
In prize money among winners dur-
ng the season, as snown Dy tne
amounts following the name of each
fair above.
Condon, Or., has come to the fore
with a four-day official racing pro
gramme to be held there June 6 to 9.
About $2175 in prizes is up. All of
the harness races are to be half-mile
heats, best three and five, and will be
raced under the rules of the American
Trotting Association. The rules of the
California Jockey Club for runners
will be used as far as practicable. J.
D. Burns is chairman of the Condon
Racing Association. The programme of
the Condon folk soon will be followed
by other cities of Eastern and Central
Oregon.
At the present time, Portland's
chances for any horseracing this Sum-
er appear to be slim. Fred X. Mer
rill, who has a lease on the Rose City
Speedway, never has been able to make
the game pay here.
Many Portland dogs will journey to
Vancouver, B. C for the dog show
there May 24, 25 and 26. The Terminal
City Kennel Club, of that city, will
give over 100 special prizes and the
ordinary prize list will be the biggest
on record for a show in British Co
lumbia. It is reported that Mrs. Anita
Baldwin, owner of the Anoakoia ken
nels, San Francisco, has donated a $50
trophy for the best puppy in the show.
The programme will be held in the
Horse Show building. The Terminal
City Kennel Club of Vancouver has 70
members.
James W. Coffroth, president of the
Tia Juana Jockey Club, is in San Fran
cisco on a vacation and will remain
for a month. Coffoth, in spite of the
uncertainty due to the war, fully ex
pects to continue the racing game next
Fall and has every reason to believe
that it will see the greatest Fall and
Winter gathering the turf ever has ex
perienced.
CLATSKANIE TRACK MEN BUSY
Baseball Abandoned Because War I
Takes Team Members.
CLATSKANIE, Or., April 18. (Spe
cial.) The athletes of the local high
school have started track and field
work and the outlook is encouraging.
Several of the best men have answered
the call to colors and, due to this, base
ball will sleep this year and the stu
dents will devote their time to track.
One serious handicap is the lack of
grounds to play on. Plans for a new
athletio field for Clatskanle have been
discussed by the business men and the
school campus will be used tempora
rily. The most promising athletes to
turn out in track are McKiel, Balrd,
Schneider, Pulliam, North and McGil-
vary.
