Somewhat hampered by wet weather, rortland's 1917 basebali opening- withal proved a distinct social, as well as arstisttc, success. Approximately 6000 persons braved the cold and the continual drizzle yes terday to watch the Portland and San Francisco Coast clubs battle for 14 inningrs to a. sensational 1-1 tie score. Umpire Casey called the death grap ple at the end of the fourteenth be cause of darkness or perhaps because of Henry Berry's heart, or something; on that order or disorder. From start to finish the game, was a thriller, scintillating with brilliant plays and featured throughout by the excellent boxwork of the two pitch ers Fincher. for Portland, and South paw Oldham, for the Seals. Memphis Product Makes Good. It was Fincher's debut before the home crowd and the big fellow sent West by Fielder Jones, of the St. Louis Browns, made good with much to spare. Big Bill, from Memphis, car ried his club along for the full 14 in nings, allowed only four scattered hits and walked only one opposing bats man throughout the entire marathon route. To be sure there were other supple mentary and incidental features, such as the rainy weather, the parade. Frank Hennessy's solo, the Third Oregon band, a hair-raising catch by Borton, etc But when all Is said and done, the painstaking observer is forced to con clude that the National pastime as con ducted yesterday at Recreation Park was largely made up of six feet of ex patriated Tennessee physique who opens mail addressed to William Fincher, ah,. William Fincher, of Memphis. San Francisco scored its lonesome tally in the Becond inning. With one out Jeremiah Downs thumped a two base hit against the left field fence. Sandow Koerner, ex-Angel, followed with a line smash over short that Char ley Hollocher ticked with his mitt hand but could not capture. Downs scored on the drive. After this the Seals' bats were about as useful as a cook book would be to a starving hobo. Meanwhile the Beavers were finding "Red" Oldham's vivid and masterful left flipper too much for them. Up to the seventh inning an infield hit by Fincher had been the only semblance of a crack in Oldham's defense. Kodgera Uses Hndwork. Starting off the seventh. Captain Rodgers banged a hard hit grounder between third and short, and, though Pick knocked it down, Rodgers reached first base safely. Denny Wilie sacrl ficed him to second. Rodgers thereupon pulled a play that showed 18-karat brainwork and saved the Beavers from the humiliation of a defeat. When Farmer's grounder caromed back off Oldham's leg, or his glove or something. Catcher Del Baker, of the Seals left his position momentarily to retrieve the ball. Rodgers Immediate lv hoofed it for the home platter. Baker saw his faux pas instantly, but the discovery came too late. Rodgers run amidst an uproar that would have run, admist an uproar that would have done credit to a Yale-Harvard football embroglio. From the stand it looked as though Oldham might have thrown Wilie's bunt to second base in time to nab Rodgers Possibly Wolverton thought the same about it and called his pitcher to task Anyhow, Oldham never recovered his entire sangfroid after the fateful sev enth. He slipped and slopped and staggered along the rest of the route always in trouble and once or twice within an ace of defeat. Beavers Fill Bases. In the ninth the Beavers clogged the bases on hits by Hollocher and Wilie and a deliberate walk to Farmer, but Shortstop Corhan pulled the game out of the fire by executing a nifty double play on Borton's grounder. Borton met his death by Inches. Oldham's strategy board ordered an other walk po&on for the husky shouldered Farmer in the 11th, once more filling the bases. Borton again failed to come across with the hero stuff. All told, Oldham was nicked for nine hits by the Beavers. Fincher bumped Into Del Baker at the home plate trying to score on Wilie's single in this inning and nearly put Baker in the hospital. Physically, the game was much the same as most openings in Portland a little cold, a little rain, a couple of bands playing popular airs, a snatch of emotionalism here and there every thing but baggy-kneed baseball. There was none of that. Five Thousand Pay Way. And, considering the war and the weather, the opening-day crowd of exactly B080 paid admissions measured Tip fully to what might have been ex pected. Judge McCredle said if the day had been fair he would have been able to go down to San Francisco and laugh at the mint. Nobody could have marked the cleav age fissures of the social strata with trespassing signs yesterday, as Irvin Cobb would say. The upper crust-was there mingling with the lower crust. The players themselves smacked of pristine newness new caps, new uni forms, new chews of tobacco, new hosiery, new baseballs, new bat bags and new bats. Only the gloves were old at the start. After an inning or two, however, the rest of the outfits lost much of their pulchritude. Denny Wilie emerged from one slide on his stomach looking like a bituminous coal miner. Denny must have put his slid ing pads on the wrong part of his anatomy. Mayor Albee opened the festivities at 3 o'clock by hurling a baseball to Fincher In the pitching box. The May or's control proved excellent. The new players made a hit with the fans. Charley Hollocher at short and Paddy Siglin at third base blazed like beacons 'along the coast. Holloch er, too, exuded a couple of lusty pokes. Bill Rodgers looked good around sec ond base, drawing two walks and a hit for his portion offensively, and virtually Bavins a. defeat by agile thinkinsr. Wilie and Gus Fisher also cleared .with one stride what It would I ;Jt3kW ijTTTSrr -sss HIS I "V i minutes to tell on the I f . U &f onS '.!

Charley Hollocher Is the boy on whom Manager Mack is particularly stuck. "Hollocher is one of the great est prospects in the game today, de clared the Beaver chieftain after yes terday's game. Did you notice how he waded into Southpaw Oldham's delivery for two wallops? He hit a couple or others on the nose, too. Hollocher has a bunch of plays at his disposal and Is begin ning to smack the pellet. I wouldn't be surprised if some big league clubs bid for him before the close of the sea son. Being a left-handed batter doesn't worry Charley when he's up against the southpaws." Manager McCredle says that if Byron Houck comes through, he'll have four first-class pitchers Houck, Kenneth Penner, Bill Fincher and Lynn Brenton. He would like to have a good south paw and another catcher. Walter Mack intimated yesterday that Frank O'Brien would have to improve in his hitting a lot before he will be ripe for Class AA society. Pitcher Mark L. Rlgbee will be turned back to the Quincy, 111., club of the Three-Eye League this week. according to the present outlook. If this takes place, the McCredies will be out about $500 experimenting with this lad. The Portlani. owners paid $200 when they first obtained him and are out about $300 more on training, etc Lefty Harrington, of the Denver Western League club, will loin the Beavers today, or tomorrow. He has been purchased outright. Harrington had . a trial with the Angels, but did not please Frank Le Roy Chance. I m going to give George Helfrich all the chance in the world to make good," said Walter McCredle yesterday. .He looks like he would become great flinger." It is understood that Helfrich has not as yet developed a fast balL If he juld master this he would be one of the best chuckers in the league. The Beaver chief has a great pitcher in Fincher who worked yesterday. Last Saturday be trounced the Oaks 7 to 4 after 12 innings at San Francisco and showed his staying qualities by coming br.ck three days later and holding the beats to one run ana four hits in 14 Innings.
