RAIN DELAYS SEMI-PROS
CLASSIFICATION" TO BE MADE
AT GAMES SUNDAY.
Former Baby Beavers, Now Penin
sula Grays, to Form Team and
Join League.
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.

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

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.

for outward convoy of transports
during Admiral Fletcher's command
at Brest, were "worthless for that

Captain N. C Twining, counsel for

Girl Is Ambitious, ' Declares
Marie of Roumania.
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.
JOHNSON ATTACKS TREATY
Hoover Is Called "Candidate Run

NEWARK, N. J, April 5. Senator
Hiram W. Johnson of California
opened his New Jersey campaign for
the republican presidential nomina

which he renewed his attack on sup
porters of the peace treaty. "Lots of
people are having a change of heart
on the treaty." he said. "They are
now saying 'let us accept the reser-

to this conclusion is that they don't
want the people to pass on this infa
mous document, but in one way or
another the American people are go

Senator Johnson referred to Herbert

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.
Contributions Slow Now Declares
Captain Anderson Good
Literature Is Wanted.
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
