ONTARIO, Cal., April 1. (Special.) Portland defeated the Stall & Dean semi-pros of Los Angeles this after noon, 5 to 4, but not before the young sters had handed the McCredie ma chine another ninth-inning surprise that might easily have been disas trous. With the score 5 to 0 in the ' ninth and two out, a couple of hits and a walk filled the bags, and Joe Pirrone waltzed up and belted the ball over the center field fence, scor ing four runs. McCredie almost did a Scotch shim my on the bench. It was this Pirrone lad whose triple caused the trouble in -the jrame between the same clans last Sunday. Pirrone does not belong in the Casaba league. He ought to be ehut up in the majors, doing pinch hit duty. Motherland Twirls Entire tiame. Suds Sutherland twirled the entire nine innings for Portland, while the angel city boys brought along with them the two big-league pitchers, .Red" Oldham of Detroit and Bill Piercy of New York. In earned runs the major league duo had the best of the argument. The Beavers earned three of their quintet, but the other two were handed to them on an error by Piercy when the New Yorker was playing second base. All four of the visitors' registrations were earned. Up to the ninth Sutherland had the Kml-pros feeding out of his hand. He fanned 11 batsmen and while they hit him freely he always tightened in time, until the final blow-off. Hits were 10 off Sutherland and 31 off Oldham and Piercy. Oldham pitched five innings and retired with the score 3 to 0 against him. The other two were earned off Piercy. Lew Blue's hitting featured for the Beavers. Blue bagged three hits and earned four bases. Blue's double and "Wistcrzil's single scored the first run in the third. Baker's double and an error by Piercy and Blue's second two-base swat scored two more off Oldham in the fourth. Bearer Win In Seventh. Singles by Maisel and Schaller and Kingdon's two-bagger put over the two off Piescy's delivery in the sev enth that eventually won for the Beavers. Manager McCredie tills morning signed a big high-school pitcher named John Brogan. Brogan will not report until next spring. He stands about 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 198 pounds stripped, and when he gets his growth Mack may use him for ' the ten-round game instead of the ' nine. Portland goes to Pasadena for' a game tomorrow against some Pasa dena semi-pro squad. The trip will . give the Beaver infield an opportunity to maneuver on a grass infield. The infield here has plenty of warts but no whiskers. Today's box score: Stall & Dean- Portland B R H O At BR H OA rtavls.l.. 5 110 oiBlue.l 4 1 5 0 Hr'Kge.3 3 110 1!

'ative Bay Twirler Outclasses Bij League Talent and Team Shapes Well. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 1. (Special.) Babe Holling, a product of the lots around here, rooked to the Chicago Cubs today like Alexander usually looks to his opponents. Babe beat the big leaguers 8 to 1 at Oak land and he had them shut out until Parker's double was followed by Lear'a single in the ninth, giving the Cubs their lonely run. Manager Mit chell tried out three young pitchers on the Oaks and he is now convinced that that brand of pitching will not get him very far with Coast league clubs. So he will likely show a real pitcher like Alexander, Vaughn, Tyler, Hen drix or Martin when he plays in Oakland aCHin nTt KlinrlaV mnmirtcr The bushers can't make the grade. I The Cubs started a horse of a young man named Abe Lincoln. Bailey, w,ho holds the eating championship of the squad and who will eat himself out of a job if he does not show more pep in the box and lesB enthusiasm at the table. Bailey got away with his job for three innings all right, but in the fourth Dennie Wilie walked, took third on Hack Miller's single and scored on a wild pitch. That was the beginning of the end for Bailey, for In the fifth the Oaks scored seven runs, driving Bailey to the showers. Young Mitchell at short for the Oaks had a good day and he will probably start the season at that im portant station. Hack Miller made a couple of long running catchea and the whole Oakland team looked su perior to the Cubs: Today's score: R. H. E. R. H. E.

April 1. (Special.) With the start of the sea ion only a few days off the Sacra mento team Is as badly off for pitch ers as the seals for catchers. Bill Rodgers has only Walter Mails and Ken Penner upon whom he can bank right now. He is hoping that Bill r.-ough- can take, a regular turn. Larkin is the only other man of 'any experience on the squad. Rodgers is hoping these four can carry the club along the first month. Bill Stumpf will start the season at third base. He has beaten out Willis Butler and Les Sheehan. Rodgers thinks his club will be so fast that his men will kick dust in the eyes of his rivals, for Eldred, Mollwitz. Middleton. McGaffigan, Compton and Schang are all steppers. BEE BOOSTERS HAVE HOPES Salt Jake Prepares to Lcuve for Home Open ins. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. April 1. (Special.) Salt Lake is all hopped up over its ball club this year, according to advices received here. When the sale of box seats was opened more were sold for opening day than ever before since the club has been there. Now that Marty Krug is to join the club. Manager Johnson thinks he has a winner. Mulligan does not look bad at third base. Spider Baum was here today and expects Lefty Leverenz to have a big year, for the sore arm that bothered him last season is as loose as a whip lash now. The Spider thinks well of Joe Jenkins, the catcher secured from the Chicago White Sox, and he says the speed of the club will surprise some folks. Yankees Outplay Dodgers. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 1.

Collins and Han nah; Mamaux, Mitchell and Miller, Elliott. Baseball on the Inside. By Billy Evans. CAN yoi imagine a player forget ting to take his turn at bat, while his club was staging a batting rally that decided the game? No? Well, that happened in a major league game six or seven years ago. Inci dentally, it caused the manager of the team to bat out of turn. The game was won by this batting out of turn, as the manager singled and drove in two runs that won the game. Since the team in the field failed to no tice the slip up, the thing worked to the advantage of the team at bat. but it might have been different had It becen discovered. During the rally the player sat on the bench, evidently counting his savings for the season, as it was near the close of the race. At the recent world series at Cin cinnati I bumped into 'T'itcher Bill Burns, who twirled for several American league clubs and also In the American association. Burns had a lot of stuff, and had he taken the game seriously he might have been a star, but nothing troubled Bill. He took things as they came. Within the last year or so Burns, who has big oil holdings in the south, is said to have struck it rich. He looked like a million dollars when 1 saw him in Cincinnati, and they do say the buy ing of a ball club by Bill would be a mere matter of form as far the financial consideration is concerned. When I saw Bill I had to smile as rriy memory reverted to a game he pitched at St. Louis years ago for Washing ton. If there ever was a thing Burns liked to do, it was sleep. After, we had exchanged greetings I remarked: "I don't suppose it matters how late or when you- sleep now, Bill, since you are one of the oil kings." Burns smiled and evidently got what I was driving at, for he replied: "Nope, if I feel like falling to sleep I just naturally do it, and when I wake up I have no fear that my little nap has cost me $25 or $50." To explain. Burns was pitching at St. Louis and going great guns. Bill was an Indifferent cuss. Close games didn't worry him any. For seven in nings the two teams went runless. Burns was the last out in the sev enth, so that when his team came to bat for the first half of the eighth, he got himself a nice shady seat on the end of the bench back of one of the big water bottles . away from everybody. It -was only a few sec onds before Bill was asleep. His team went out and got him a couple of runs and there was much excite ment for everybody except Burns, who slumbered peacefully on, according to the story. When the Washington team went to the field and got ready to start the pitcher was missing. Burns was still enjoying his nap back of the water bottle. He was roughly aroused by Joe Cantillon. Then just to prove his nap had been beneficial he set the first two men down on strikes and caused the other batter to pop up. However, Joe Can tillon raved for a month about a pitcher who could go to sleep while his team was making a couple of runs for him in a 0-to-0 game. ZBYSZKO REFUSES FREIBURG IXJURED IIE THROWN" TO HARD FLOOR. Polish Heavy Wrestler Rejects Award After Hour and 19 Min nies for Return Match. NEW YORK, April 1.

Jay Thomas, who looks after the destinies of Hugh Walker, the fast coming young Kansas City heavy weight, who will tangle ten rounds with Frank Farmer at the Milwaukie arena next Wednesday night, is be seiged with offers for his battering protege. San Francisco. Oakland. Seattle. Taconrui and Kansas City promoters are after Walker's services and Thomas hopes to close for two and perhaps three fights within the next few days. The latest offer was from "Moose" Taussig yesterday. Taussig is now the matchmaker for the Coliseum club in San Francisco and wants Walker to meet Harry Greb. the Pittsburg light-heavyweight, April 15. "Moose" asked for Walker's best terms. and Thomas complied with his request. Tiooma Date Probable. George Shanklin. the popular Taco ma boxing promoter. has signed Walker to box for his Eagles' club April 22, his opponent yet to be selected. "Wild Bill" Reed, the Ari zona Goliath, who knocked out "Bevo" Kruvoksy in Tacoma the other night, will probably be the man that Shanklin will pick to send In against Walker. Of course the going through with the date probably hinges a good deal on how Hugh comes out with Frank Farmer next Wednesday. Both Oakland and Kansas City promoters have offered Walker a match with Fred Fulton," the Kansas City match to go 12 rounds and the Oakland bout slated for four periods. Walker is being picked to beat Farmer when they clash, because of his great agressivenesss and punch ing qualities. Farmer has fought a lot of light punchers and boys who were not tough enough to stand up under his onslaughts, but when he steps In the ring against Walker he will be bucking "concrete" and not "cream puffs." Mick King, Young Hector and the like will never bother the sparse haired Tacoma veteran, but the Boy McCormicks and Hugh Walkers spell trouble. However, Frank Is a tough, heady old ringman and besides packing a broadside of heavy artillery can step around. Before Gunboat Smith left San Francisco- last week some of his friends remarked to him that he had made a bad step when he agreed to tangle with Fred Fulton in the main event of the Milwaukie boxing com mission card next Wednesday night, but this is what the Gunner had to say: Gunner la Confident. "These people who are continually telling me that I made a bad match make me tired. They are very en couraging, to say the least. If I didn't think I was going to whip Fulton I would not have made the match. If Fulton makes a good showing with me I'll probably agree to box him four rounds in Oakland. But If I should land on his chin and stop him, he wouldn't be a drawing card." Confidence, eh? Fulton. Smith and Walker worked out at their respective hours yester day before nearly 300 boxing fans at the Kendall-Garlock gymnasium. Ad "Spats" Garlock had to do all the work himself yesterday as Kendall had not yet recovered from the right cross that Gunboat put on htm Wednesday in their workout. Kendall sprained one of his ankles when he went down and had to stay home yes terday. Smith took the floor at 1 o'clock sharp and sparred three rounds with Muff Bronson. He was unable to line up a heavyweight boxing partner and was forced to take on -Muff. Hugh Walker worked six rounds taking on "Knockout" Carmen middleweight, and a big 200-pound fireman for three rounds apiece. Walker opened up on the fireman and had his best workout in a week Fulton started at 3 o'clock and worked for nearly an hour. He boxed his sparring partner, "Mexican" Joe Lawson, three rounds and then stepped two cantos with Henry Wilde, a local aspirant, who is nearly as big as Fulton. Charley SwinehaTt left for Seattle with Joe Mandot in tow. yesterday The famous New Orleans lightweight scheduled to meet Bobby Harper of Seattle in the main event of to night's card under the auspices of the Elks club. Mandot has been training hard and is in good shape for the bout. He Is down to meet Muff Bron son In a round tilt at the Milwaukie arena next Wednesday. Al Summers, the rugged Portland middleweight, passed through Port land yesterday on his way to Spo kane, where he is billed to meet Harry Glllum of Seattle in a six-round bout next Friday night. Sommers also has a match on at Lewiston, Idaho. Ad Macke. the local featherweight, fought a four round draw against lackey Morrow of Tacoma in Spo kane the other night. Bill Hardy, Portland welterweight, knocked out Jack McLaughlin of Seattle in one of the other matches. HOLDOUTS VEX BRESXAHAN Wires Warmed In Effort to Get Players for Opening Day.

Bleacher Seats 50 Cents, grand stand 75 Cause for Bise Laid to Operating Expenses. J CHICAGO. April 1. Twenty-five cent baseball in the American asso ciation is no more. The high cost of the national game will be ushered in with the opening of the 1920 cam paign. President Hickey has an nounced that with the start of the pennant race April 14 the prices of all seats in every park in the league will be slightly raised to meet the mounting cost of operations and the higher salaries paid baseball players.
