In 1, eI .words' a Parade is destined to wind Its tortuous course through the downtown streets, pausing only long enough to pick up President Allan T Baum, of the Coast League; various city and county officials, and a raft of other lesser dignitaries, who always like to participate in the unveiling or Amer ica s Isational pastime.

Out at the park, however, there'll be another band, probably McElroy's to play for the fans, and as accompani ment to Frank D. Hennessy. the well known Russian baritone. Mister "Hin nissy" Is to add a patriotic touch to the Initial combat by singing Krancis fccott Key's famous war tune through a megaphone pointed east. Hell be togged out in a nifty "Uncle Sam" suit, so the fans will be able to pick him out even If they can't hear his voice. If the weather Is good and the In dications are most favorable a huge crowd probably will Jam Recreation IJc-rk. The war has sort of put base ball into a temporary eclipse, but Just the same there's a great deal of en thusiasm on tap, and the boosters ex pect fully 10.000 enthusiasts and per haps a few thousand more. Portland once turned out close to 17.000. The past four opening games have ten spoiled by rain. Local fans will welcome a great many new players this afternoon at 8 o'clock. Some of these are Penner. Ftrenton, Fincher, Leake, Helfrich and Iligbee, of the pitching corps; Borton and Siglln, of the Infield, and Frank Farmer, the big outfielder. Only two games behind the .500 mark, the Beavers have done very well for a three weeks' stretch away from home. Henry Berry, owner of the Seals, Is expected to accompany President Baum from San Francisco. The Seals hpld forth last week at Salt Lake, so they are due from another direction. Harry Wolverton seems to have an other good club in tow. Last week San Francisco broke even with Salt Lake, while Portland was losing to the Oaks. Wherefore, with this off our chest, as the late Billy Jordan would say: "Let 'er go." Automobiles participating in the opening- day parade of the Portland Baseball Boosters will gather at Four teenth and Morrison streets at 1 o'clock. Here is the course: Iiast on Morrison to Fourth; north on Fourth to Alder; east on Alder to Third; north on Third to Pine; west on Pine to Sixth; south on Sixth to Alder; west on Alder to Nineteenth, and from there to the ball park. Lou Wagner, chairman of the fra ternal committee of the Portland Base ball Boosters, has advised all of the organizations wishing to ride ln the parade to have their cars ln front of the Elks' temple, Broadway and Stark streets, at 12:30 o'clock. From there they will proceed to Fourteenth and Morrison to Join the main body, under the direction, of Grand Marshal Ray Barkhurst. GOLFERS TO AID RED CROSS Money Usually Spent on Cups to Go for War Sufferers. CHICAGO. April 23. Bronze war medals instead of cups will be awarded winners of amateur golf events held under the auspices of the Western Golf Association, and the sum usually spent for cups and the entry fees will be contributed to the American Red Cross or some similar fund to aid war suf ferers. It was announced today by As sistant Secretary Crafts W. Higglns. This decision was reached by Presi dent Charles F. Thompson and the ex ecutive committee of the Western Golf Association, who urged golfers to do all they could to aid the country in carrying on the war and to demon strate that golfers are "perpetually and pleasantly prepared by the nature of golf." The announcement adds: "No change will be made In the Western open championship for pro fessionals, and winners ln this event will receive the various amounts stipu lated for prizes in cash as usual, but the entry fees will be given to the Red Cross the same as in the amateur championship and the junior champion ship.

The knockout blow, which was a solar plexus, was delivered after one minute of sparring in the fifth round. Up to the knockout the fighters ap peared to be evenly matched, with Ahearn on the offensive most of the time. Smith seemed to have little trou ble" dodging his opponent's blows. Ahearn was not seriously injured. He was substituted for Les Darcy as Smith's opponent after Governor Pleas ants had refused to permit Darcy to fight In Louisiana, owing to charges that he was a "slacker." TENNIS MEN MAY ENLIST LOSS OF PROMISING PLAYERS IVOW BEING FACED. IS Majority of Leading; Players Are With in Military Ago Half of Rank Expected to Go.

" FANS PREDICT GOOD SCRAP Pete Mitchle and Cliff Reed Also Are Billed Adolph Schaclit, of Seattle, to Referee Gib bons Boys Are Coming. "Muff Bronson and Eddie Brewster Plnkman, generally recognized as the best lightweight boxers in the North west, will clash over the six-round route ln the main event of a six-bout show at the Rose City Athletic Club, East First and East Morrison streets, tonight. The result will determine not only which boy is the best, but also will decide the lightweight championship of the Northwest and Canada. The winner will be accepted as the topnotcher in his crowded and classy division. Fistic fans predict that to night's scrap will be one of the ring treats of the year, and there will be enough of them on hand to test the ca pacity of the arena. The boya will box at 133 pounds. Pinkman says he will win. He, It Is said, has predicted the outcome of his last two contests. Before his battle with Lloyd Madden at Seattle he told the folks he would knock Madden down as fast as ho could get up. Pinkman did that very thing. Then Just prior to crawling through the ropes to tangle with Johnny O'Leary, also at the Sound City, he said that he would knock Jawn for a goal in the third round. "Pinky" also vindicated this boast. Eddie yesterday voiced his opinion of the outcome of tonight's setto. "I'm going to knock Bronson down in the first round," said he. "This will end the round. He's going to stick out the sec ond, but I'm going to plant my right lunch-hook on his chin in the third, when he'll hear the little birds sing merrily." But Bronson and many Portland boxing bugs think differently. Pinkman previously said that he would knock "Muff" down as fast as he could get up. He must have come to the con clusion that Bronson will be unable to keep arising. The balance of the card follows: 140 pounds Pete Mitchle vs. Cliff Reed, of Los Angeles. 190 pounds Frank Kendall vs. Dick Burke. 135 pounds Jack Wagner vs. Billy Williams. 122 pounds Joe Farrell, of Oregon City, vs. Freddie Lough. 130 pounds Carl Martin, of Oregon City, vs. Winston Gower, of Seattle. Adolph Schacht, of Seattle, will ref eree the two main' bouts and an official for the preliminaries will be selected today. Jack i'ahle will keep time. First bout commences at 8:30. Mike Gibbons and his brother. Tom. tne MiKe and Tommy Gibbons, the fis tic brothers from St. Paul, who are the only two members of one family to be generally recognized as holding two world s championships, will show their dazzling boxing skill before Seattle fol lowers of the ring game at the Arena in tne sound City on May 1. the Gibbons boys are on their way to Seattle. Each of them will meet the best boy in Seattle ln his class, and the fans who have been reading about "Phantom" Mike for many years will get a chance to see the St. Paul phenom n action. The men who will meet the Middle Westerners have not yet been picicea. nay Campbell. Sid Mitchell and ojick wens ana several others have de clared that they would like to have a crack at Alike, while the lierht heavv weights and heavyweights hailing from around faeattie. among them Chet Mc Intyre, are anxious to hook up with the famed Thomas.
