Manager Mitchell of the Chicago Cubs shot the best team he can muster .at present at the Seals today and they won 6-0. The game was not anywhere as one-sided as the score would indicate, for up to the ninth inning the Cubs were lead ing 2-0 and the Seals had had several chances to score. But Tom Seaton was lifted to let Fitzgerald pinch hit for him and Sam Lewis, the Texas ranger who pitched the last inning, simply could not get the Cubs out. Two passes, combined with four hard slams gave the Cubs four runs in that last frame and turned a well contested battle Into a rout. Seaton and Grover Cleveland Alex ander put up a stirring pitching argu ment, Tom going eight innings and Alexander pitching five. Only one earned run was scored off Seaton and In the five innings Alexander worked the hits were even, three all. Seaton and Alexander were former team mates at Philadelphia and Bill Kille fer, who caught for the Cubs today, was their catcher, so it was quite a reunion for the boys. The Cubs play the Oaks at Oakland tomorrow, returning here Friday. To day's score: R. H. E. R. H. E. Chicago ...6 10 lSan Fran..O 6 3 Bateries Alexander, Vaughn and Killefer; Seaton.

Re cent athletic contests between women on the Pacific coast have made i clear that Mills college, in Oakland, must be considered as a more impor tant factor than in years past. Mill teams, because of the system of inter class rather than interscholastic com petition and the comparatively small enrollment, nave not been greatly feared. When-the four Mills crews defeated the University of California crews few days ago on Lake Merritt they shattered all the dope" by making runaway race of each event. Before the races California women were con ceded every contest. The seniors of Mills wtre the first to show their spirit. by getting the start with the. gun and increasing their lead until they swept over the finishing line better than four boat lengths ahead. The junior crew of against the Cubs Howard will, use him in the opening game against Los Angeles next Tuesday. Today was the best chance for the Oaks to look the Seals over, for Howard will have his players work- ng hard on the local lot the next few days. Sunday they will play two game, meeting the Cubs in the morn- ng and the Mare island naval re serves in the afternoon. The new admission price, which has been in creased over last season, will go into effect with the game tomorrow. . NOVICES WILL MEET APRIL 10 University of Washington Coach to Get Line on Material.

Applications should be addressed to secretary Si Simonsen, 503 Com monwealth building, Portland. All teams desirous of entering the City league or the inter-city circuit should arrange games for this coming Sunday through - the office of the president, Spalding Bros., that the committee on classification may be given an early opportunity of giving the teams the "once-over" in order that the proper classification may be made. The Overlook team will hereafter be known as The Oregonian baseball team, according to the announcement of manager Doving. The team was scheduled to cross bats with the Woodstock All-stars Sunday on the Franklin bowl, but rain interfered with the plans and the All-stars failed to put in an appearance. Prac tice games can be arranged by call ing Woodlawn 3216. The Portland Railway. Light & Power company car barn men bid fair to turn out one and possibly two or three good squads this season. At Ankeny street-car barns the boys are working out regularly and at Pied mont they are signing up prospects right and left. With over 3000 em ployes to draw from the platform men should find it an easy matter to put a winner into the field. Bill Speas' Regina club will play teams in the practice clash which is slated to open at 2 P. M. It will mean more than a practice game for the two teams as both nine are trying hard for a berth in class AA of the Portland Baseball associa tion and as the classification com mittee of the association will be out Sunday looking the boys over the two Iron Workers' squads will be travel ing in big league form. Deerdorf, Lefty Schwartz and Page, who will do the hurling for the Hesse Martin nine this season, will all be given a chance to work on the mound Sun day. The latest team to come to the front with a decision to enter the city league is Frank Bartholomew's city of Portland outfit. Frank has gathered enough material around the city hall to build up a first-class nine and with "Pinky" Williams as a slab man the city hall bunch figure they are going to clean up on the otherJ lemi-pro outfits. PRESTON PROVES HIGH GUN Local Shots Put In Good Day at Portland Targets. C. B. Preston was .bigh gun in yes terday's practice shoot at the Port land Gun club, breaking 95 targets out of 100. Preston was in fine form and despite the intermittent rain and hail powdered the tar hawks with un erring eye.. E. H.

Peterson, 67 out of 75. BY RICHARD R. SHARP. According to word brought here by Frank Carter, manager of Gunboat Smith. Alex Trambitas. the clever young Portland welterweight, may be the boy selected by the Bay City pro moters to face Benny Leonard when he boxes there in the near future. Carter says that Alex had been go ing like a champion of late, beating middleweights frequently. His last victim was Buck Holley, a full fledged middleweight who has been clamor ing for a crack at Battling Ortega. Alex trimmed him in Los Angeles and repeated in San Francisco last week. Both the allied and coliseum pro moters are struck on his evasive style and have him figured as the boxer who would make the best showing against the champion. Clnba ' Tlld for Leonard. Leonard has practically consented to box both in San Francisco and Oakland. Tommy Simpson has a cinch on him for Oakland but there is some bidding going on for his appearance in San Francisco with two big clubs in the field claiming to have the lightweight champion signed. Tram bitas fought Leonard a four-round exhibition in Los Angeles several weeks ago and it Is said that he made an excellent showing. Carter added that Bud Ridjey, the Seattle bantamweight, who is well known here, is also a big card in the south and going strong. The big gunner, who will meet red Fulton in the main event of next Wednesday night's card at the Mil waukie arena, picked on Frank Ken dall, matchmaker of the Milwaukie commission yesterday, and as a re fult Frnk had to go home on crutches last night. Smith arrived too late Tuesday to arrange for a sparring partner so Kendall, not wishing to see one of his stelier attractions go without a sparring partner, donned the mitts agiin and consented to work out with him. They went alright Tuesday. Kendall Connect With Flat. Yesterday Kendall decided to work out again and take off a little of the superfulous fat that has been ac cumulating since he retired from the ring to become a matchmaker, but it must have been his bad day. They went along at an easy pace for two rounds with Frank puffing and snprt ing at top speed. In the third canto they started mixing matters and in an exchange of wallops Smith caught Kendall flush on the chin with a smashing right cross. Kendall went over backwards and as he fell turned his ankle. He finished the round in great pain and after over an hour's work on his ankle was able to hobble around in his office. It is now rumored that Frank will hang up the gloves for good. Fred Fulton began his paes at 3 o clock at the Kendall-Garlock gym nasium, following Hugh Walker, who took the floor at 2 o'clock. Fulton shadow-boxed several rounds, punched the bag. skipped rope and then took on his sparring mate Joe Lawson. for three tough rounds. Fulton toyel with his boxing partner and fought Just hard enough to get up a good sweat. Both Men Are Tall. Fulton is looking in great shape and his towering strength will be a hard factor for the rugged Gunboat Smith to overcome when they clash n,ext week. Smith la known throughout the land as the toughest trial horse in the heavyweight class, and his famous right-hand wallop has toppled over many an aspiring heavy younger in years and with greater weight and height advantages. Sinith is no pigmy, however, and looms 6 feet 1 Inch in the ozone. Out side of Fulton, he is the tallest heavy weight that has fought here.

Prize fighting which flourished in Manila and a few of the provinces outside tha city for many years was brought to a sudden standstill last December by those opposed to the f-port. Although a law placed on the statute books by a Philippine commission more than 15 years ago prohibited prizefights, it was considered a dead letter soon after its enactment and was not en forced until just before the holidays opponents of the ring sport formally brought the matter to the attention of the authorities in the city of Ma nila.
