With every ball field in town re Bembling a duck lake the practice games that had been scheduled be tween the various semi-pro teams through the efforts of the officers of the Portland Baseball association for Sunday were postponed. It had been the intention of the officers of the association to visit every field Sun day for the purpose of giving the bush teams the double-O so that the committee on classification would have something to work on when it came time to place the teams in the different classes, or divisions. Due to the inclement weather all the games were postponed and the same schedule of practice games will be carried over to next Sunday. Some fast games are expected If the weath er conditions are right, as the teams are anxious to make a favorable . showing with the classification com mittee in order to draw a class AA as signment. The regular weekly meeting of the Portland Baseball association will be lie Id Thursday night at the usual place in the Multnomah Guard club rooms on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce building. The latest team to decide to enter the proposed league is the Peninsula Grays, known in past seasons as the Uaby Beavers. The Peninsula Grays will hold their first meeting of the season Wednesday evening at Car ter's hall, at which time a manager will be elected. A practice game is being arranged for Sunday afternoon witn tne i'ortiana iron worns nine n the. Columbia Park field at 1 o'clock. The Grays will have a repre sentative present at the meeting of the Portland Baseball association Thursday night. If the team is able to line up some of the talent that pastimed under the name of the Baby Beavers they will have a fast aggregation of tossers, as the Baby Beavers reigned supreme in semi-pro Circles for several seasons. Ed Thompson, one of the best pitch ers ever developed in interscholastlc circles in recent years, is going to east his lot with the Central Door nine again this season. In 1918 Thompson pitched the Franklin high school nine to the championship of the interscholastlc league, and in so doing hung up a record for other scholastic slabmen to shoot at for some time. The former Maroon F twirler, while working on the mound for the Quakers, hung up a record of 115 strikeouts in eight games. Last season he pitched great ball for the Cendoors.

CHINA DEMANDS STEAMER Italy's Detention of Silesia Cansej of Diplomatic Tangle. PEKIN, March 30. (By the Asso-1 slated Press.) The recent sequestra- LOUD ODAY tion by Italy of the steamer Silesia, one of the three Austrian ships seized by China during the war, has raised a diplomatic controversy. TJie Silesia carried Czechs from Vladivostok to Triest, and Italy claimed the ship by virtue of Its having belonged to a former Austrian line which was taken over with the occupation of Triest and ousted the crew. China has declined a proposal to ar bitrate respecting the status of the Silesia and the two other ships, ex cept upon restoration of the detained steamer. Shanghai dispatches In December, 1917, reported that the former Aus trian steamer Silesia had been as signed to the United States when the vessels captured by China were dis tributed among the allies. LOWDEN DECLARED- AHEAD GOVERNOR FIRST WITH NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS. Hoover Far in Lead Anions Demo crats, A cording to Poll of Sun and New York Herald. (Copyright, 120. by the Sun and New York (Herald. Published by arrangement.) NEW YORK, April 5. Governor Lowden of Illinois is the first choice of the republicans of North Carolina for the presidential nomination, ac cording to the poll of the county chairmen taken Dy the Sun and New York Herald. Judge Jeter Connelly Pritchard of Asheville, a favorite son, comes In second place in the preferential con test. Republicans outside of the Tar Heel state undoubtedly will be mucn interested to know that their North Carolina brethren are all "net up" over the boom for their distinguished son. They are deeply serious over his candidacy and sincerely believe they can land him on the national ticket for vice-president at least. Herbert Hoover seems to be far in the lead, closely followed by William G. McAdoo and William Jennings Bryan, in the favor of the democrats for president, according to the re publican leaders. As the paramount issue of the 1920 campaign the league of nations stands at the top of the list, with Amer icanism, as its opposite, in the minds of many, coming next In the order of mention. Of all first choices returned by the county chairmen Governor Lowden received 49.3 per cent, Pritchard 26 per cent. Wood 16.6 per cent. Senator Warren G. Harding 4 per cent. Sen ator Hiram W. Johnson 2.6 per cent and the remainder went to ex-Pres ident Taft. When it came to the "second choice' column the percentages on the poll blanks returned ran this way: Low den, 30.6; Wood, 30; Harding, 14; Johnson, 12. Cahrles E. Hughes and former President Taft each received one mention. If it should be conceded that Judge Pritchard will receive only a compli mentary vote and that the men men tioned as second after him in the poll blanks are really to be considered as the serious first choices, the elimina tion of the "favorite son" and the placing of the second choices on the Pritchard ballots in the first column would make the "first choice" per centages run like this: Lowden, 60 Wood, 18; Johnson, 12; Harding, 6 Taft. 3.4. Judge Pritchard was a wheel horse in the republican organization in North Carolina for many years. He served in the United States senate, 1&94 to 1903. He was appointed, asso ciate justice of the supreme court in the District of Columbia, was a cir cut judge from 1904 to 1911 and since 1912 has been on the United States circuit court of appeals bench. In early life he was joint owner and editor of the Roan Mountain Kepub lican. North Carolina will be represented in the Chicago convention by 22 dele gates. The republican state conven tion was neia on March s, when a resolution of instructions for Pritch ard was adopted. It is understood, however, that it commits the dele gates to their "favorite son" no longer than tne first ballot. PREJUDICE LAID TO COURT I Affidavit by I. W. W Counsel I: Filed in Spokane. SPOKANE.

Wilson, commander of the Atlantic fleet, in testimony before the naval board investigating Rear-Admiral William B. Fletcher's removal from the Brest command by Admiral Sims. Basing of all destroyers used in convoying American troops and sup ply transports Into French ports on Queenstown instead of Brest up to the spring of 1918.

""I need no details," replied Admiral Wilson. "I know that he bad to es cort troopships to sea and that he had only a worthless force to do it with.

RINCE SEES 'FOLLY' NOW Charles Accepts Mission to Japan; Statement Made to Set World Aright. BUCHAREST, Roumania, April 5. (By the Associated Press.) "It was German agents who maneuvered and brought about the marriage of my son Charles," said the queen of Rou mania recently in speaking of the morganatic marriage contracted in September, 1918, between Crown Prince Charles of Roumania and Zysia Lambrino, a young woman who is said previously to have had little social rank or wealth. The aueen requested the corre spondent to give her explanation of the marriage, owing, as she said, to there having been many untrue re ports of . the action of herself and King Ferdinand, who, she declared, had been pictured as tearing asunder loving couple. "I am convinced it was not a case of true love except on the side of Charles," said Queen Marie. "I have never seen the girl except at public balls. She is not pretty, but she suc ceeded in capturing the affections of Charles. She is Intelligent and am bitious. She saw her chance to ob tain a great advantage and she took it. 'However. It Is against tbe public policy of the country to have a mem ber of the royal family intermarry locally and thus become mixed In party intrigues. It was against this that the country sought a forelga king and queen. 'I begged my son to consider these facts and he promised to forego his personal wishes for the benefit of the country. Nevertheless the marriage took place at Odessa, aided by Ger mans. Later it was annulled as il legal, both under the laws of Rou mania and of old Russia, as no banns were published. "Later Charles joined his regiment. which ho was compelled to do under military discipline, and went to Buda pest with our army. Associated with patriotic Roumanians, he saw his duty and realized how foolish he had been to lose his country for a girl. Lately he, has accepted a mission in Japan, where he will stay six months. Should the girl marry another person the affair will be ended." Queen Marie aspires to be consid ered the mother of the country rather than a royal personage. De spite her five years on the throne during the most troubled time in the world's history, she preserves her youthful smile.

Warmer Weather Rapidly Melts Snow in Mountains Cold Spell Has Caused Some Loss. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. April 6. (Special.) A Chinook hit the Walla Walla valley late last night, sending the mercury upward and rapidly re moving the snow from the mountains, ending the unseasonal cold spell which has worried farmers and gar deners. Mountain streams through out the valley are running bank-full, and along the Yellowhawk some dam age was done by water backing up and inundating the land. The city water supply was undrinkable for several hours because of the mud. The cold weather has caused some loss to sheepmen in this locality, as it held back the growth of grass. The lambing season has started and the lack of grass for ewes will result In the loss of many lambs, owners say. Estimates are for 50 to 75 per cent of the lambs to survive. The break in the weather will relieve the situation somewhat, however, but many sheep man claim it came too late. LOGGERS NEED MAGAZINES APPEAL MADE TO FILL DOWN TOWN COLLECTION BOXES.

This year tbe 50 blue boxes on street corners' downtown, placed there by tbe Anderson system to collect books and magazines for the lumber camps, are fining up very slowly and Captain John Anderson has renewed his appeal for more In terest in the movement. The con tributions are taken to a store at 373SI Burnslde street, where they are sort ed and prepared for shipment. Many logging camps are depending on the regular arrival of these boxes for their reading material. Last year 635 shipments were sent to 122 logging camps. Captain Anderson's Idea Is to use good literature to combat bolshevism. In order to keep in closer touch with the loggers and others in isolated places. Captain Anderson last year delivered 139 lectures on American ism and reached through these tours about 79,000 men. The Anderson system is in Its fourth year of existence and has worked unaided and without the fi nancial backing of any organisation.
