BAN BTRANOISCO, May 18. (Special.)
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. Score:

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.

WAR TAX LOOrflS AS
BASEBALL'S KNELL
Club Owners Feel Minor Clubs
Would Be Unable to Stand
Additional Drain.
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
