BT HARRY M. GRATSOX.
Portland's 191J Pacific Coast league
baseball club will run as smooth as
oiled thunderbolt as soon as Manager
Walter Henry McCredie obtains the
shortstop and outfielder for whom he
is dickering-. This Is tha opinion of
Charles Franklin Walker, outfielder
extraordinary, who steamed into the
city yesterday afternoon.
"Dixie" preceded the club a day so
that his Injured finger could receive
medical attention at once, for he is
sorely needed by the Mack tan ma
chine. Mrs. Walker accompanied her
husband.
"Most of our games have been lost
at third base." said Walker. "Hens
linjr has got going the last few days,
however, and may fill the nicho satis
factorily. 1 feel positive that Mack
soon will have a new shortstop and
another outfielder with the club. That's
what we need. The Beavers have not
been getting the breaks and there'll be
a turn for the better soon. On thing
is certain, we) have a scrapping club
and will be up and at them all season."
Walter McCredie and his hirelings
win pun into the city about noon todav
Practice win be held tfcia afternoon and
in the morning, prior to the open la of
the Portland season commencing at
P. M tomorrow. Vernon will form the
opposition, arriving- from Los Angeles
tonignt.
Oakland and Seattle will pass through
tha Rosa City today bound for Prexy
Brewster's burg where a monster cele
bration will be staged tomorrow In
celebration of the opening of the sea
son there. Salt Lake will battle today
at Sjn Francisco and Sacramento open
at ixs Angela..
Outfielder Walker was rushed to the
office of Dr. Chester C Moore In the
Medical building Immediately upon his
arrival- Walker Injured the third fin
ger of his right hand attempting to
field Karl Sheely's swat against the
centertieid fence at Salt Lake last Frt
day. causing a Jagged gash when the
paw came In contact with a torn bit of
galvanised iron. Dr. Moore re-dressed
the Injured member and announced that
"IHxIe" will be out of the game for
1 days or a fortnight. Walker hopes
to get back In the game against the
Oaks next week however.
a a a
Governor Olcott will motor down
from Salem tomorrow morning, accom
panied by Dr. R. K. Lee ettelnrr. of the
Oregon State hospital. The chief
executive will be at the Hotel Benson
at noon tomorrow. He will pitch the
first -ball to Mayor Baker.
a a a
Outfielder Walker says says that
Manager McCredie announced In Salt
Lake Just prior to Walker's departure
Saturday night that Carroll Jones, big
I'etrolt twirler. would pitch the game
here tomorrow. "Dixie" says that
Jones has a oit of a sore flipper, but
that it may be in good shaps tomorrow,
tiuy K. Cooper, who has oeen here for
a fortnight, is the other candidate for
pitching honors.
Portland's baseball boosters con
vened vesterday at the Oregon hotel
when final arrangements for the vic
tory loan and baseball parade tomor
row were made. It will start from
Fourteenth and Morrison streets at
11:30 P. M. The 4700 pound victory
bell loaded on an automobile truck
with two soldiers tolling it with ham
mers will lead the procession. Mem
bers of the Devil Dog club of Oregon
riding m mortor cars will take part.
Each ballplayer will ride separately
with a man in uniform as a companion.
Speaking and community singing which
will precede tha conflict will commence
at 2:15 P. M. Judge McCredie urges
ail who possibly can to purchase tickets
at downtown cigar stores so that con
gestion at the park will be relieved.
If the day is as pleasant as was yes
terday the boosters hope to keep the
turnstiles busy.
Ray Barkhurst. grand marshall of
the parade, will discuss final arrange
ments with President Fred Peters and
Secretary Frank J. Callahan today.
Anyone wishing to participate is asked
to communicate with Mr. Barkhurst.
Automobiles will be furnished every
one. There will be over 100 automo

Baseball Summary.
BY EARL R. GOODWIX.
Real signs of spring were in evidence
yesterday when "Genial George" Howie,
groundkeeper of the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic club, put a scraper and
three wagons to work on Multnomah
field removing the eawdust.
With the "fine stuff off the grounds
all the track and field aspirants along
with the baseball fiends of the winged
"M" institution are ready for the call
"get on your mark" or "play ball. The
blanket of sawdust has kept the field
In excellent shape during the winter
and If old Sol will only come out long
enough to dry the surface there won't
be any kick coming.
Howie has an awful time keeping
the athletes off the soggy part of the
enclosure, but he doesn't want anyone
to cut up the ground and make It tough
pickings when getting ready for a
track meet or a ball game. Manager
George Philbrook takes his aspirants
out for a run or two occasionally when
the weather permits, but nothing
strenuous is attempted.
The annual gathering at Columbia
University a couple of weeks ago
brought out the fact that Multnomah
will have a regular team before the
1919 campaign is closed and the Ore
gon Aggies had to put forth all steam
ahead to grab off the meet. The Cor-
vallis team won by taking the open
relay, the last event.
There will be a couple of handicap
meets within the next month or six
weeks on Multnomah field.
It has not been decided definitely
whether any of the Portland athletes
will journey to Paris to take part in
the inter-allied gamesto be held early
June, io i u riner wora nas oeea
received from Frederick W. Rubier,
secretary . of the Amateur Athletic
Union, regarding the selection of stars
to go overseas again. T. Morris Dunne,
secretary-treasurer of the Pacific
Northwest association, has been in con-
tant touch with the representatives
f the Amateur Athletic Union in San
rancisco and Los Angeles, but he has
ot b'.en abie to corn's to any agree
ment.
Interscholastlc tracksters are coming
right along with their plans and the
annual meet of the high schoolers is
slated for Multnomah field May 23. Jef
ferson high has been going great guns
for so early in the season, but there
are a number of dark horses expected
to loom up and put fear In the hearts1
of the "champions. ' Frederick Kreuger
is a quarter miler of Jefferson who is
expected to be listed among the point
winners. He took third place in the
annual affair last year, but since then
both the first ' and second-place men
have left school. He is training faith
fully already.
feet in the air and the eyes of Thomas
glued on its descent, a spectator in a
box, either with malice aforethought
or purely accidentally, tossed his score
card in the general direction of where
Thomas was standing. The fan had
great control, because the card struck
Thomas in the face, momentarily blind
ing him, causing him to lose sight of
the ball and to duck his head, as one
does in time of danger. The ball struck
Thomas in the back.
I called the batter out, retiring the
side and breaking up the Cleveland
rally. For a time it caused consider
able protest, but the justice of the
ruling soon became apparent not only
to the Cleveland players but to the
fans as well, who loudly hissed the
guilty fan for the happening.
Joe Cantillon knows every angle of
the game, because he not only has
umpired and played but managed as
well. I always will recall the finesse
with which Joe pulled a bit of inter
ference when managing the Wash
ington club, even though he lost the
decision.
Chair Act Interfere.
Philadelphia was the opposing team.
Washington had the bases filled, one
out and a mighty good man up. It
looked as if Washington had a chance
to stage a rally that would sew up the
game. A base hit on the part of the
batsman was the most desired thing In
the world, from Cantillon's point of
view. The batsman, Jim Delehanty,
was a man in whom Joe had a lot of
confidence.
Evidently Joe had instructed Jim not
to do any waiting, but take a crack at
the first one that looked good to him.
Delehanty didn't waste a bit of time,
because he took a healthy cut at the
first one that came his way. His ef
fort was a high fly in the direction of
first base. Harry Davis, playing first
base for the Athletics at that time,
called for the play.
It seemed the surest kind of an out.
because Davis was death to balls hit
In the air. In going after the ball Da
vis was carried close to the Washington
bench, which was situated midway be
tween first base and the home plate.
Joe Cantillon always had a habit of sit
ting slightly out in front of the bench
on a folding chair. Davis, in order to
reach the ball, was compelled to pass
the point at which Cantillon was seat
ed. Joe in a most polite manner rose
from his chair as Davis advanced, as if
to give him the right of way due a
fielder. For a moment it struck me as
being very courteous of Joe to do so,
because, as a rule, opposing players al
ways try to make it as hard as possible
for the fielder to make a play.
Player Drop Ball.
As Joe got up, instead of pulling the
chair under the bench, as I thought he ,
would do. or even leaving it in its pres- j
ent position, he picked the chair up, ex
tended it at arm's length and folded it
with a bang, then withdrew under the
cover of the bench. It so happened that
the chair closed with a bang, just as
Davis passed Cantillon. Harry didn t
come within a foot of making the catch,
which would have been the easiest kind
of a chance had it not been for Cantil-
on's kindly efforts. Joe at the time
insisted he was evidently being penal
ised for being over polite, that if he
hadn't folded the chair and pulled it
under the bench In all probability noth
ing would have come of it.
While Bill Byron's vocal interference
is surely something out of the ordinary
on which to retire a batsman, I feel in
terference on the part of the scorecard
and the folding chair run a close second
and third.

BY BILLY EVANS.
jXTERFERENCE plays create unus-
I ual situations on the ball field. In-
cidentally, the calling- of such plays
usually gets the umpire into a peck
of trouble. When a batter hits a fly
ball, be it fair or foul, for the batter
to be retired, one expects tha fielder
to catch the ball. Sometimes it hap
pens otherwise.
There are a number of ways in which
a fielder may be interfered with in his
efforts to catch the ball, but I believe
to Umpire Billy Byron of the National
leatrue, belongs the distinction of de
claring- a batsman out because of vocal
interference. The decision stood and
established a precedent.
In the play in which Bill Byron ren
dered his now memorable decision.
the batter hit a tall fly in the general
direction of third base, but foul per
haps 20 or 30 yards. The third base
man elected to make the play, and so
informed his teammates by saying, "I
got it."
In the play In which Bill Byron fig
ured the coacher did not confine his
efforts to shouts from the coacher's
box, but closely followed the fielder in
his pursuit of the ball, and constant
ly asked to be allowed to make the
play. The third baseman Insisted he
had it. but managed to make a most
inglorious muff of the ball, much to tha
delight of the coacher and the
amusement of the home crowd.
Protest la Korthcomlns;.
Byron's call for the next batter,
which was a polite way of informing
he batsman who had hit the tall foul
that he was through, naturally stirred
up a protest that was long and loud.
Answering all queries as to why the
batter was out. Byron replied, "be
cause of interference," and explained:
"Vocal, purely vocal; who is the
next hitter?"
That batter stands out as one of
the few batsmen to go back to the
bench for the customary drink of
water after he was declared out be
cause of vocal Interference.
Following the theory established by
Bill Byron, I might give "interference
on the part of a score card." as the
reason for a play in Cleveland. Such
a play came up five or six years ago.
when Ira Thomas was catching for
Connie Mack's Athletics. The score
was close. Cleveland had a couple of
men on bases and two out. when the
Cleveland batter bit a foul fly back of
the catcher.
A rather high wind was blowing,
making it difficult for Thomas to
Judge the ball accurately. He was
forced to go within a foot or two of
the grand stand before deciding he
was in the proper position to make the
catch.
Score ( ara raises Maff.
With the ball not more than a dozen
IN addressing the ball during the ap
proach with the mashie the right
elbow should brush against, the side
and at no part of the swing should
it be allowed to leave the side to any
great extent. This apparently cramped
method Is for the sake of greater ac
curacy, because you cannot afford to
take liberties with a club that has no
great amount of hitting face. With
the arms well in. there should be no
fear of socketing, for, when this fault
occurs it has almost invariably been
brought about by pushing the club out
in the forward swing.
Bear in mind that the club must be
brought baclc straight for a few inches
before being allowed to go up and
brought forward slightly across the
body. This can easily be done, for in
the stance for a mashie shot the body
is half facing the hole to begin with.
A very important thing in mashie
play is the bene a' of the left knee
when taking the . b back, for If this
is not done, but the left knee kept
almost rigid, great difficulty will be
found In preventing a "push-out, a
result that has the same, effect as a
socketed stroke, although, as a matter
of fact, the ball has been struck in
the center of the club. If the left
icnee is kept rigid and not allowed to
knuckle in, you cannot bring the
club across the body; the left elbow
goes out and naturally the ball is
played to mid-off.
INDEPENDENT BALL TONIGHT
Multnomah Club and Corn foot Nines
Will Start Portland Season.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club and Cornfoot nines will open their
season this evening, when they'll clash
on the Winged "M" field in the first

Decision Was Given Fighter in Lon
don Despite Sporting Writers'
Opinions to Contrary.
"When Joe Lynch shaded Jimmy
Wilde in London recently he demon
strated without a doubt that the Brit
ish flyweight is not a pugilistic super
man," said Mike McNulty, famous man
ager of fighters, yesterday. McNulty,
who made Johnny Ertle bantamweight
champion of the, world, is still in Port
land hoping to land his proteges,
Johnny Schauer and Billy Emke, light
weight and middleweight, respectively,
on the April 30 card of the municipal
boxing commission,
"Although Wilde received the deci
sion, from .all accounts Lynch had a
good margin the better of the battle,
even English sporting writers saying
so," continued the foxy St. Paul han
dler. "Every boxer in America who
can make 126 pounds, ivhich is the
featherweight: limit in England, is
feverishly eager to get a match with
the midget who lost a decision to Pal
Moore 'and gained two verdicts over
Joe Lynch, one of which seemed un
fair." Nearly every bantamweight in the
United States claims he is already
matched with the English fly.weight.
and the purses all are in fixe figures.
with a comma preceding three ciphers.
Next thing Abie Gordon- will be declar
ing himself in on what is rapidly be
coming known as the Wilde plum.
Eddie Coulon, a New Orleans ban
tamweight of negligible class, insists
he will be the next opponent of Wilde
and that the contest will be staged
London within a short time. It
questionable whether Coulon will get
the match, for a bout between him and
Wildo wouuld show nothing except
that the Briton can easily subdue boys
of the caliber of Coulin. This Coulon
is no relation to Johnny Coulon, ex-
champion, who has appeared in Port
land.

boy who has shown his wares in this
