BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
PASADENA, Cal., April 2. (Spe
cial.) The Portland Coast leaguers
played on a grass infield today "lor
the first time this season and de
feated a Pasadena mixture of semi
pros and Throop collegians, 9 to 1.
The session was staged at Tourna
ment park where the Chicago Cubs
trained and within a stone'.s throw of
where- the Harvard-Oregon football
classic was played last New Year's
da y.
Wes Kingdon's homerun. Downs'
left field drive and the pitching of
Southpavs Durning. ' Schroeder and
right-hander Poison were the only
features of special interest.
Durning and Poison are new twirl
ers and in the six innings they
worked between them the Pasadenans
annexed only two hits. The other two
were registered off Schrocder's de
livery. Schroeder looked mighty
sweet.
In one inning he whiffed three
batsmen in a row. Singles by Schal
ler and Cox scored the first Portland
tally in the second inning. Wisterzil
and Schaller added another in the
third.
Klnxdon Scores Two.
Kingdon's screaming homerun in
side the park scored two in the fourth
nd three others clattered across be
tore the end of the fireworks on hits
by Blue. Wisterzil and Ma I. tel.
During the forenoon. McCredie re
ceived a telegram from Detroit, ad
vising that Infielder Dyer would be
turned over to the Beavers. Dyer is
holding out on Detroit and it Is
doubtful if be can be Induced to sign
a coast league contract. The Beaver
boss telegraphed his willingness to
accept Dyer, providing he can be
signed.
The need of a second sacker Is be
coming more noticeable with every
succeeding practice game. Young
Spranger performs niftily in the field
but he might as well be anchored to
a bridgehead-for all the good he does
on the offensive.
Batting Second Marker Needed.
What the Beavers need is a strong
hatting second sacker located next to
Kingdon. Kingdon has been doing
very well with his bat, but of course
he isn't going to be a Maisel or a
Schaller this season. Dick Cox- is an
other who hus not been hitting of
late.
It is a question if McCredie would
have started him In right away had
not the "cadet Barnabe torn a liga
ment in his ankle.
Lew Blue did not return with the
team from Pasadena. He has an en
gagement with a bone setter to work
on a pullod ligament in his throwing
arm. Me may play in Sunday's game
against uiuano.
The Beavers are scheduled to de
part for Salt Lake on Sunday night.

NTARIO, Cal., March 2, (Spe-,
The vicissitudes of the !
proved that the young
man between the ages of 18 and 24
makes the best fighter. But in base
ball some managers would rather
flirt with Methuselah than take a
chance on a juvenile. Just at present
it impresses us that Walter McCredie
is traveling the middle course with a
elight leaning toward the youthful
talent.
Without question the Portland club
boasts the most youthful squad of
athletes in the Pacific Coast league.
McCredie has only three "old
timers" on his payroll "Biff" Schal
ler, whose memory failed when he
reached SO; Tom Howell, the battle
scarred trainer who i a veteran of
three wars, and McCredie htmself.
Howell fought in three Indian cam
paigns and topped it off with a slant
at the Spaniards In Cuba, He has
been speared, boloed, tomahawked,
1 hand-grenaded, bathed in Jiquid fire
and forced to eat canned willy and is
still hale and hearty at the ripe
young age of 65.
George Maisel, the husky outfielder
who romps around beside Schaller is
a veteran in experience, but not in
years. Maisel is only 26 years old."
Del Baker, too, is 27 still young
enough to go back to the majors.
All the rest of the Beavers are
youngsters and several of them are
destined to land in the majors with
out question of a doubt.
Wes Kingdon at short is only -18
last Sunday, setting them down score
less, 6-0, and allowing only one real,
unadulterated hit. , Some day he
should develop Into a good twirler.
At present he lacks judgment, which
comes only with experience in the
box, and the Western Canada would
afford him an opportunity to gain
the required experience.
McCredie received a letter from
Detroit the other day suggesting that
he go out and try to sign Infielder
Dyer. Dyer Is holding out on De
troit for $3600 and besides Is not a
good hitter and is slow, so unless
Mack loses his mind there is little
likelihood of Dyer landing with the
Beavers.
The Pacific Coast League player
limit this year will be 18 men after
May 16. Up to that date the clubs
will be permitted to carry as many
athletes as they desire. This will
enable the managers to carry two or
three youngsters for a few weeks of
observation under fire. Last year the
league player limit was 16.

PLAYKItS OBJECT TO RULES
Pastimers Training in South Saj
New Code Too Strict.
Players of the major league ball
teams now training down south are
finding fault with the new rules.
They Insist that the penalties for
freak pitching are too severe. If a
pitcher 'rubs the ball on his glove
or on any part of his uniform he
can be removed from the game,
whereupon he is automatically sus
pended for 10 days. The objectors
to the new rules say that thought
less pitchers, if penalized, will work
great hardships for their teams; that
the suspension of one or more star
boxmen at a critical point in th
pennant race might deprive a team
of the championship.
Players invariably find fault with
the rules, but In the case of unsports
manlike deliveries the penalties seem
I just. The fans clamored all winter
for the elimination of the "spitter,'
"shiner" and "emery ball," and the
rule makers, it would .seem, acted
wisely.

naturally a bit peevish because of the
tough break in luck they were get
ting, as well as the inferior brand of
ball they were playing. In such cir

"goat." Philadelphia won from Cleve
land that afternoon in one of the
wierdest games I ever saw, some
thing like 12 to 11, or possibly, worse.
It was a tough game to umpire.
The pitchers were wild, hitting was

veteran pitcher.
"Stick to umpiring. I'll do the
pitching," said Plank.
"From the way you are pitching,
you'd better start umpiring." replied
Connolly.
Eddie stepped out of the box and
turned his back to Connolly while he
enjoyed a little laugh. The remark
appealed to me also as being worth
laughing at, for Eddie was surely
having a bad day.

Tommy said," remarked Eddie to me.

out, the third one being called.
Naturally the batter was peeved. In
the next inning Plank by a snap
throw to first, caught a Cleveland
runner napping.
"Plank is balking." yelled the
peeved Clevelander from the bench.
"How do you know what he is
doing?" asked Connolly. "From the
way you acted at the plate I doubt If
you can see that far." The argument
subsided.
