One In the tenth, when ; young: Hennling made a muff of a pop f'y, was particularly costly to the Beavers, since it cost them the game. Walter Levert-ns pitched shutout ball, not one of the six runs made by the visitors being charred to his pitching. Hi sent three of them across himself with a wild heave to first base in the second inning that cleared the bases f a full house. Red Oldham also was the victim of ml plays, but he was out pitched, and if the game were to have been decided oo pitching: alone, the score would have been 4 to 0 In favor of the home players.

He has received a number of citations for gal lant service. And there Is Major Carl Spatz of tho I3th aero squadron, who wears the dis tinguished service cross and who is of ficially credited with three Hun planes and unofficially credited with four more. It was in an aerial conflict over Metz that Major Spatz fought and won his first tilt with the German airmen, receiving official commendation from the French government for his intre pidity and skill. Maiy Germai Plaaea Dowaed. Escape from a German prison camp after he had won his spurs by crashing a Hun battle plane was the experience of the 3'oung Tcnnesscean. Lieutenant George W. J'uryear of the 95th aero squadron. Among the gallant craftsmen of American air fleets the lieutenant is certainly not the least renowned. It was near Chateau Thierry, in July, 1918. that Lieutenant Puryear brought down the enemy plane. Eager for its complete destruction, he followed It to earth and was captured. The story of 1 his escape, with rifle fire whipping about him, is one of the most dramatic in the annals of the war. Otiier noted American airmen with the victory circus are: Lieutenant H. W. Xollmer. 93d aero squadron, offi cially credited with three enemy planes. Captain W. J. Hoover, 27th aero squad ron, distinguished service cross and croix de guerre, officially credited with six enemy planes, who took part in more than 50 air fights. Captain John Hamblcton. commander of the 213th aero sauadron, croix d guerre, offi daily credited with six enemy planes, one of the youngest squadron com manders In 'he aviation service.

Accompanying the circus will be one flight of 50 LaFayette escadrilie me chanicians. They were decoratea oy the French government and wear the coveted fourrageur over their left shoulders for being twice cited in army orders. The American scout planes will rise to deluge the city with victory loan iterature. They will be attacked by four German Fokkers. piloted by la mous American aviators. Four Amer ican planes of various types will rise to combat with the German planes, driving them away. Then will ensue remarkable demonstration of aerial tactics and acrobatics stunts upon which life and liberty depended when the airmen were in action above the fields of France. Meantime, with the flying circus far thest from their thoughts, state and city victory loan leaders are bending every effort toward that perfection of preliminary organization that will bring an early victory for the fifth and last issue throughout Portland and Oregon.

Rollo Gray. Jeff pitcher, had a good day and fanned 17 men. Johnson of Hill was not so bad and retired nine Jefferson batsmen during the game. Ihe contest was about even and get ting along nicely with Jefferson In the lead, 4 to 3, when that fatal old ninth inning was reached. "Speck" Burkes. Jefferson ball tosser, got real ambi tious in the ninth inning and before the frame was over the game had been changed from a neck-and-neck contest to a one-sided affair. Jefferson nicked Johnson of Hill for eight safe smacks and Hill for seven safe runs In the ninth inning. Hill made a short-lived comeback in the last of the ninth, but flivvered out with one run, the game ending Jefferson 11, Hill 4. As stated before up to the ninth In ning both teams looked good. After the ninth, Jefferson looked fine and Hill a little worse, but neither ag gregation has anything So be ashamed of in regard to yesterday's fracas. For the first game- of the season, both teams showed up exceptionally well. As usual a few weak spots were un covered which- the coaches can now remedy. Jefferson scored three runs right off tne bat in the first inning. Hill made the large opening day crowd on hand sit up and take notice in the second inning when they knocked three runs across the plte, tieing the score. Jetlerson swung into the lead again In the third inning scoring one run and held it to the finish. Louis Coulter. Jeff shortston. and Andrews, Jeff catcher, co-starred with Gray. Andrews made three hits out of five times at bat, while Coulter made two hits out of six trips to the rubber. The Hill men played about on a par. with ncne of the players standing out above the others in yesterday's con test. Johnson made a nice two-bagrger in the second inn.ng that scored two men and Hill center fielder made a classy catch in .th-a seventh frame on a long fly of Healey's. The box score follows: Jefferson- academic division at the northwest in door meet at the Columbia coliseum last Saturday. The Jeff team scored 29 points. Washington was its closest competitor, with 12 points. ... With Leon Fabre Jr. now in charge of the Franklin high school track team, some surprises may be presented by the Quaker athletes. Fabre took hold of the Franklin team last Friday, which was too late to do anything for the meet last Saturday, but from now on Franklin is more than likely to be heard from. There are some young sprinters at Benson .Tech who may fool a lot of the track followers. James John also has some athletes who will have to be con sidered before the 1113 season is over. The next meet for the high schools will be in Corvallis on May 3. The event will be a state-wide affair and high school teams from all over Oregon will be represented. ... The interscholastic state champions will be decided May 10 at the University of Oregon. The anual Portland inter scholastic track and field champion ship will be held on Muitnomah field May 23.

The high shot with a following wind that has to be stopped within a limited distance naturally will be the opposite of the low shot. Loose wiists and relaxed muscle j are needed for this shot. The weight of the body should be kept on the right foot, but tlie player must still feel a little pressure on the left knee and toe at the top of the swing. The ball should be hit up into the air. A ball ying badly in long grass does not call for much science. The player must use the heaviest club in his or her bag, grip it tightly and hit hard. It is very easy to hit two or three inches behind the ball in long grass, which ruins the shot. Something in the nature of a chop shot is needed, which can be fet by swinging the club up abruptly. This will make it easier t hit the baU close; but there must he a little toUow through. A ball thai iu sitting up in long grass is not such an easy shot us it might appear. Wnn the player finds the ball in such posi tion, care should be taken not to ground the club. Right Off the Bat. HERMAN PILLETTB, who pitched for the Standifer team last season and who was formerly one of the leading twirlers in the Northwest league, win play in the Industrial league in beattie this season. Herman received a try- out with San Francisco and made an excellent showing, but -as Manager Graham has such a world of material h was forced to let him go. Jack Knight is expected to be a big help to Seattle. Knight is a husky walloper with the bat and will come in mighty handy. .

"Babe" Pinelli and Art Griggs are the two coming in for the honorsr ... With Marty McGaffigan coming up, Sacramento may have something else to boast about before the season is over; Bobby Meusel will be ready this week to help put Vernon over in big style. ... Efforts to revive the old Nebraska state league have failed. Several of the former cities which supported teams were willing, but not enough could be obtained to fill tut a circuit. . The Tulsa club of the Western league. as a result of a visit of Manager Spen cer Abbott to St. Louis, will try out several Mound City youngsters.

Columbia will not be able to go through with the game because of the Easter holidays. As Columbia is a private school, many of the stu dents who are on the ball team will leave for home to spend the holidays, and George Dewey, coach of the Lin coln team, consented to tho postpone ment. " The Benson-Franklin will be the only other contest this week. Four games are scheduled for next week In the interscholastic league. It seems to have been definitely de cided that the high school relay race at the Columbia coliseum last Satur day was about 40 or SO yards short. The time registered by the high schoolers was around 1:38, while all the col legians did it in 1:40, so that alone es tablished the fact that the race was not the full 880 yards. The officials had the finish figures wrongly because of poor markings. Washington won the race and the academic relay cup. It was the third- cup of the season for Coach VireMl Earl's track squad. Earl BY BILLY EVANS. PITCHER can be substituted at any time, but when once an nounced, said -"pitcher must pitch until one batsman has been retired or reaches first base. This rule is an ex cellent one. The compelling of the pitcher announced to pitch at least to one batter is the feature of the section that carries the punch. It does away with a manager playing horse with his men to throw the opposition into the air. It does away with many tedious delays. It keeps a manager in a pinch from announcing pitchers at will, until the man he really wants to pitch has a chance to warm up. It makes the manager more wide-awake to the pitch ing situation, so that in the emergency he will have a pitcher ready to fill the bill. Some years ago a manager had the right to substitute a pitcher at will, and said pitcher had the right to throw five balls. If up against it for a pitch er, because the regular had suddenly gone to pieces, the manager would del egate the pitcher he really intended to use to warm up, and in the meantime who would leisurely pitch his five balls, only to retire in favor of another "phoney" twirler, who would go through the same operation, and so on, until the man really selected was ready. Compelling a substituted pitcher to pitch to at least one batter has done away with this practice. To clear up another situation that sometimes cre ates discussion, a pitcher can be shifted to any other position and then brought back to the rubber. Often in a ball game two runners are standing on the same base at the same time. This play, as a rule, comes up at third base. The runner on third is caught between third and home, while the runner from second advances to third. In many cases the runner caught between third and home man ages to get safely back to his base, so that it is held by two runners. Many think the moment the runner coming from second touches third base the runner originally on third is forced to go home. That is erroneous. A force out can be made only when a base runner legally loses the right to the base he occupied by reason of the bats man becoming a baserunner, and he thereby be obliged to advance. In all other cases the base belongs to the original occupant, and with two men on the base the original occupant easier h for men knox stetson borsalino christy cloth jameson monroe hats agent for Interwoven and phoenix men's hose 1X1.
