Fenner pitched a beautiful game of ball today and by blanking' the Seals he knocked them off the top of the perch. He -was hit hard at times, but when hits meant runs he -was the master. Olaf Erickson also pitched well for seven inning's, the Beavers combining two hits in. the third for only one run. Fenner should have scored in that round, too, but he was too slow on the hoof. In the eighth., however, Erickson was hit hard, Corhan and Maisel made errors and Erickson made a balk, the whole counting- four runs for the Beavers. i Corhan opened the eighth inning with a two-base hit and Calvo was sent to bat for Erickson, but he popped out. Fitzgerald made his third hit. and Cor han could have scored but preferred to play it safe, so the Seals were blanked. Maisel slid In twice on his wishbone, and caught hard-hit balls, and he tried It again In the eighth, but failed to hang on to the ball, and that helped in the run-making.

Of vital Interest to Portland anglers is the new state law relative to the closed fishing season on Oswego Lake. The law, which becomes effective Mon day, prohibits fishing of any kind on Oswego Lake between May 15 and June la. The new law has other restrictions which it would be well for Portland sportsmen to bear in mind. It Is un lawful to use a net or seine in Oswego Lake or any of its tributaries. It will be unlawful to use salmon or trout eggs or spawn for bait at any time. Trapping or netting of crawfish is ex pressly prohibited. No more than six salmon, bass or trout may be caught In any one day. There shall be no fish ing in the canal above the lower wagon bridge and no Ashing in Spring Brook or above the lower wagon bridge at Waluga. The law expressly provides that the Tualatin River shall not be designated as one of the tributaries of Oswego Lake, and none of the provisions of this law will affect this stream.

The release by Spokane of Pitcher Adolph ("Al ) Zweifel means that both chuckers from the Portland sandlots who went to Honolulu with the Beavers have failed in organized baseball. Johnny Brandt was the otner one. He is now pitching for the Baby Beavers and for the Crane Company team of the Commercial Baseball League. Zweifel will probably return here and pitch for an Inter-City League team. Perhaps another year In the "bushes" will do both Portland boys good. Glavenlch is a California sand lotter.

COAST THOUGHT SECURE Major Leagues, Too, Likely to Be Able to Weather Storm Question Arises Whether Clubs or Fans Should Contribute to Fund. Will the Government tax on amuse ments kill baseball? Coast League magnates are of the opinion that it will kill the game on the Coast, unless the player limit and salary limit are cut down. Major league owners are not of one mind on the subject. The majority agree that it will hurt if the Impost should be saddled on the clubs. In that case the majority of the clubs would lose money, a few would break even and a lesser number would be able to declare divi dends. There is still more doubt on what effect it would have on the game should the public be compelled to bear the added burden. Some argue that the average fan would not object to paying a few cents extra on each admission, while others maintain the attendance will be cut down to such an extent that the owners will have to go out of business. Those who have not lost their heads, although the situation is admittedly serious, maintain that there is no reason to worry, that the fans will be willing to pay anything within reason If thev want the a?am tn be part of the Nation's life. Millions to Be Derived. It is argued that the fans should support the game from patriotic rea sons, as every penny which goes through the gates will put something In Uncle Sam's Treasury. The Gov ernment has calculated that $75,000,000 will be raised through the tax on amusements. No figures have been 1 presented to show how much of this baseball is figured to pay. It has been shown that the total income from or ganized baseball should amount to $650,000, provided the conditions of last year are duplicated. The major eagues would contribute half of this sum, from which the conclusion would be drawn that it would be a good thing to keep the game going. Taking the known income of certain clubs in the major leagues for a basis. each figures to pay an average total tax of $25,000. Some would pay more and others less. The tax of at least two clubs probably will reach $40,000 apiece. Some would be as low as $15,000. Basing the tax on last year's gross receipts, Detroit, for Instance, would pay slightly more than $30,000. The White Sox, Giants and Red Sox would pay more than this. Cemlakfj Is Patriotic. As far as the White Sox are con cerned. President Comiskey already is paying 10 per cent of his receipts to the Red Cross fund, and the chances are, should it become necessary to raise the prices, the South Side fans would gladly contribute whatever was asked. Other owners, however, are not as well fortified, and It would mean bankruptcy for Just a few, but not many. With the minors It is different. Class AA leagues might get by. but none of the smaller leagues could ex ist were the tax put on the clubs, and it Is a question whether or not fans in the smaller towns would stand for an increase in prices. Taking the Northwestern League, for Instance. It Is calculated that each club would be taxed between $1000 and $1500. As dividends are practically unknown in this circuit, the coin would have to come out of somebody's pocket. Game Flourishes tn Canada. Taking all the leagues below the AA classification. It is estimated that they would contribute approximately $200, 000 a year. The three larger minors. Pacific Coast, American Association and the International, would be hit for a sum close to $225,000. This would be a big burden for these leagues, as the profits at the end of each season are not large. The magnates do not think that the attendance could be kept up Bhould the prices be Increased and they are certain that none could afford to pay it out of their own pockets. There is already an agita tion in the American Association for the closing of its gates. This is part ly caused by the great deal of rain. Figures have been presented from Canada showing that baseball is flour ishing, despite the war. Perhaps the situation will adjust Itself satisfactorily to all. Texas League Cuts Down. FORT WORTH. Tex.. May 18. The dropping of Galveston and Beaumont from the Texas League and the start ing of a new schedule Saturday will be formally announced tonight by President Morris as the result of a three days' session of the franchise owners in Fort Worth.
