Jones and Kalllo Serve Out Slants
and Team Shows Well In Hit
and Slash Affair.
BY HOSCOE FAWCETT.
LOS ANGELES, Ca., March 30-
(Special.) Two of the Portland pitch
ing regulars, Carroll Jones and Rudy
Kallio, made their debut today when
the Beavers trimmed, the Ei Monte
team at El Monte 11 to 4. It was a
cut and slash affair in which Biff
Schaller cracked a left-hander named
Douglas for four consecutive base
knocks.
Jones pitched the first five innings
and would have emerged unmarked
except for an error by Spranger on
a cinch double play. The youngster's
misplay filled the bases and one of
the El Monte amateurs thereupon
' whaled a two-base hit over Arscl's
head that scored three runs and put
El Monte in the lead, 3 to 2.
Spranger Makes Atonement.
Spranger atoned for his "boot" a,
couple of innings later by clearing
the bases with a line drive over first
base. The Beavers Fcored six runs
in the melee. Rudy Kallio served up
the slants during the last four in
nings and looked fine. The El Monte
boys got to the ex-Detroitcr for only
' one hit. Kallio showed to such ad
vantage that Manager McCrcdie has
decided to start him In the opening
' trarue at Salt Lake April 6. Mack
figures that Kallio has had more ex
perience before the big crowds than
any of his club mates.
Charley Barnabe Is the only Tort
land player on the hospital list. The
Angel City southpaw tore loose a
ligament in his foot and is hobbling

floor.
Oldham May -Not Ileturn.
That "Kcd" Oldham will not get
back to Portland this year seems cer
tain, for I have just had it slipped
to me by a friend here in Los An
ecles, who is close to Kred Mitchell
of the Chicago Cubs, that Detroit
asked for waivers on the sorrel
topped southpaw last week and
Mitchell telegraphed a refusal to
waive if Manager Jennings of Detroit
was sincere in his waiver request.
Oldham may turn up in a Chicago
uniform before long. On the other
hand, Detroit may not recall the
waiver and give Red a trial.
Hits today were apportioned as fol
lows: Shaller, four; Maisel. two;
Kingdon, one; Blue, one; Cox, one;
Baker, one, and Spranger, one. Total,
11.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30. (Spe- the first inning in 32 minutes with an

make the Seals look like a regular
ball club. While the Seals were in
Stockton they appeared feeble at bat
and complained about the shadow
cast by a grove of trees in center-
field. Today in their first game on
the home lot they trounced the Chi-

the ball fairly sing with some of their
line drives.
It would not be fair to judge the
Chicago Cubs from the lineup they
presented today. Every one of their
recular infielders is allinar and the
boys who subbed for them suffered Southern
from the shakes in the pinches, so the
. whole club looked bad.
To make matters worse, both Nick
Carter and Newkirk were wild and
when they did have to get the ball
over, some Seal rapped it and the
runs poured over the platter.
The game was something of a test
tor Jim O'Connell and Fat Anfinson,
a pair of baby Seals who never saw
big leaguers before. They both made
good. Jim got a hit . his first time
up and drove in a pair of runs and
in the eighth he came up with the

Anfinson looked well behind the

The Bronson-Mandot bout was one
of the two six-round extra specials
that Matchmaker Frank Kendall of
the Milwaukie boxing commission
signed yesterday to round out the

With the two ten-round battles

the best bill of fights that has ever
been presented in Oregon. That is
not to say that they will turn out

With the opening of the 1920 fish
ing- season eet for tomorrow morning,
a great number of Portland sports
men are planning to Invade the
streams of Oregon and to lure the
wily trout from its haunts with rod
and fly. Anglers who have kept to
the streams during the winter months
in quest of salmon will not have to
worry any longer on the question,
"When is a trout not a trout?" Dur
ing the closed season a trout over 15
inches was a salmon, but after tomor
row morning they will all be in the
trout class.
Early season fishing is expected
to be at Its best in streams in western
Oregon, upper Clackamas, Eagle creek,
upper Nchalem, Big creek and Oats
kanle. The weather and the clearness
of the water are going to figure prom
inently In the success of the anglers
on me nrst day's attempt.
Srason Lasts Seven Months.
Practically no changes have been
made this year in the Oregon fish
laws. The season is open from April
1 to November 30 in all streams of
Oregon. Trout to be taken from the
stream must bo over six inches and
the bag limit is set at 60 fish or 35
pounds in one day. And above every
thing else it is absolutely necessary
that every fisherman be provided
with an angler's' license if he wants
to keep out of the clutches of the
ame wardens.
This year promises to find more of
the anglers whipping the streams
throughout Oregon than ever before.
according to Carl D. Shoemaker, state
fish and game warden. Last year the
sale of anglers' licenses, which went
over the 50.000 mark, surpassed any
season in the past.
Fish Stories to Be Aired.
The main topic of conversation
around the Multnomah Guard club-:
rooms during the past week has been
fish stories. Several members of
the organization have dug up thei
fishing tackle and will be out bright
and early tomorrow morning.
W. A. Bisbee will head a party, in
eluding Guy Sharritt and "Mitch1
Hlckey into Washington county,
where they will work along Gales
creek. F.W. Knoll and R. J. Kirk
wood, two other members of th
guard organization, will also try the!
iuck in nearby streams tomorrow
morning.
Choice Spots Picked.
Over 200 local sportsmen have sig
nified their intentions of putting in
the opening day of the season on the
Deschutes river. Jack Herman, sec
retary of the Multnomah Anglers'
club, and W. Kinser, Jr., will leave
for the upper Nehalem Saturday aft
ernoon. Dr. William B. Hare, who
never lets anything interfere with
his being at some point along the
Siuslaw river for the opening of the
season, has already packed his tackle
nd left for his favorite fishing haunt
Paul Farrens, another local angler,
has decided to try out Lake creek on
the first day of the open season. G. T.
Hunter and A. Dement will reel out
their lines on the upper Tualatin
river.

Broke - 1 Australian Records,
Winning 23 Starts.
Norman Ross, recognized aa the
world's greatest iwimmer and holder
of ten world's records, has returned
to his home here for a short visit
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
E. Ross, 1331 Mallory avenue, alter
an absence or over a year ouring
which time he has visited several
foreign countries and - engaged In
championship and exhibition aquatic
events throughout the worm.
Ross' latest feats in the swim
ming world were accomplished in
Australia and New Zealand, where he
went after taking the -number of the
swimming stars of the Hawaiian
islands. In the Antipodes Ross won
23 out of 24 starts and broke 24
Australian records. He returned from
Australia to Vancouver, B. C, and
then home. The Portland record
breaker will probably go to San Fran
cisco soon for the national water
polo and relays which will be held
in the southern city the latter part
of next month.
Ross first swam in competition
under the colors of the Multnomah
Amatuer Athletic club later going to
San Francisco where he immediately
hooked up with the Olympic club.
After competing for the winged-O
club for sometime he went east and
became affiliated with the Illinois
Athletic club and has been competing
under the colors of the eastern club
up to the present time.
There is no doubt but that Ross
will bo a member of the American

Portland has
had her share of this vicissiiude thts
spring, but with Kallio and Wister
zll again assured as Beavers, the
McCredie clan Is In better shape than
some of the other Pacific Coast league
clubs.
Los Angeles has been without the
use of two of her stars in the spring
drive asrainst the Chicago cubs,
Shortstop McAuley and Pitcher Ray
Keatinc who held out for more
money in the major leagues and as
penalty drew a release to the minors.
Clarence Brooks. Vernon catcher, is
another of the holdout brood, along
with Catcher Tub Spencer of Salt
Lake or Seattle: Catcher Baldwin of
the Seals and. several other stars of
the circuit.
Some Successful, Others Not.
Some athletes, like Rudy Kallio,
possess considerable business acumen,
and. while they know the contract
offered them Is as liberal as their
colleagues draw down evefy month,
they just naturally figure to hold out
with a view to gouging a little more
from the magnate.
Sometimes they are successful and
other times it reacts to their own
disadvantage. Of course, some of the
cuts that have to be made when a
major league player of long service
is returned to the minors are quite
drastic and one cannot refrain from
extending a little sympathy to the
recipient. "Red" Smith and Ray
Keating of the Vernon and Los An
geles clubs serve as typical samples
of this type. Both are players' of
considerable major league experience
and unless the two southern Califor
nia clubs are exceeding the secret
Coast league salary limit, said to be
$6000 per month,, it Is hardly prob
able that either Smith or Keating
will get anyv.-here near the salary
meted out to them at the end or every
month in the big tine.
Some Injustice Done.
On the other hand there is a great
deal of injustice in this salary mat
ter. Some club owners take advan
tage of the easy-going natures of
some of their best amictes and do
not offer them the money they are
worth. Chick Gandil of the Chicago
Sox hit about .290 last year and had
good season, but a request for a
rise In salary, from his stipend of
$4000 for the season, met with a
prompt refusal. Gandil is now hold
ing out for a boost.
Harry Hellman of Detroit played for
iwo or tnree seasons at the munifi
cent major league salarv of I.mnn
Last season Harry batted .320 for the
Tigers and when he came west an
nounced that he would get $10,000 for
ia or wouia quit baseball.
From $3000 to $10,000 is quite
jump ana probably Heilman figured
no was aue tor a protracted row with
his clubowner. However. Presirfn
Navin is one of the few geniuses
who likes to give his men what they
bring in at the gate and he acceded
to Heilmann's demand without a great
deal of arguing or bickering.
Hellmann a Coast Prod act.
Heilman, by the way, was dis
covered by James J. Richardson, now
manager of athletics and baseball
coach at Oregon Agricultural college.
"Jimmy" picked him up on the lots
around San Francisco and "shooed"
him over to the Portland spring camp
at Visalia. He went up to the
American league from the Portland
Northwest league club that fall.
Clarence Brooks' row with the
Vernon club has caused some sur
price, for Brooks has been known be
fore as a baseball bolshevik. Brooks
declares four catchers In the league
received more money last year than
he did and he wants to be shown.
Perhaps by the time this reaches
print the former paragon will be back
in the fold, satisfied and full of
pepper.

McAuley Is bucking and the only
tangible evidence of the deal from
Angel city standpoint is the two-man
combination, Griggs and Thoma
McAuley is holding out for $4000
more than $600 per month. He will
be lucky if he gets $350. Twenty
players drawing $300 each per month
would be $6000 per month, which is
the mutually agreed-upon monthly
salary limit of the coast circuit.
Los Angeles Case Peculiar.
The Los Angeles club had a pecu
liar case of "holdoutitis" a ew years
ago. Rube Ellis I believe it was
sulked all winter and refused to sign
his contract unless a new finger mitt
was included in the agreement. Rube
was satisfied with the salary named
in the parchment and liked the club,
but he had his heart set on a new
mitt and, what's more, he got it. I
Salmon fishing will soon be at its

some fair catches have already been

mon displayed weighing over 30
pounds. Janesch landed his 44-pound

ting pretty in the boat drifting down
stream and thinking of what he was
hgoing to do to Frank Troeh and i
few other trapshooters at the Port
land Gun club next Sunday, when he
hooked a snag and his tackle and all
went overboard. It will cost him
about $20 for a new fishing outfit if
he wants to line up with the other
early birds tomorrow morning.

SEATTLE. Wash.. March 30. (Spe
cial.) That Georges Carpentier will
not last more than -five rounds with
Jack Dempsey when the two meet in
the ring, is the opinion of Harry Man
sell, the clever little English bantam
weight who is now making Seattle
his home.
Mansell declares that he has Been
Carpentier tn all of his bigger battles
since the Frenchman started in the
fistic game at the age of 16. The
Briton enjoys the reputation of being
one of the few boxers who has stayed
20 rounds with Jimmy Wilde, the sen
sational flyweight champ. This bat
tle was fought in 1914 In London.
Mansell also has the distinction of
having beaten a boxer who knocked
out Georges Carpentier. The records
show that Georges Gloria knocked
Carpentier for a goal back in 1912
when the French champion was then
boxing in the bantamweight class.
Shortly after this Mansell met and
bested Gloria, stopping him in a six
round bout in Paris.
The little Briton, who Is being man
aged by Eddie Hall, a former Portland
sport writer, is now training In Seat
tle for his proposed bout with Billy
Mascott at Milwaukie, Or., in the near
future.
