April 21, a thing of beauty and a Joy to the keeper of the turn stiles. April 21 is the day the Portland Coast league balltossers make their debut at Vaughn street against Los Angeles. - Frank Callahan, well-known pur veyor of sirloins and ham hocks, and a dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan, was I selected to serve as president of the booster clan at yesterday's prelim inary meeting. Bert Eling, a promi nent figure on automobile row, was chosen vice-president and George Shepherd secretary-treasurer. Prises to Be Given. It is planned 'to extend an invita tion to Governor Olcott to pitch the first ball and to Mayor Georsre L Baker to do the receiving. An effort will be made to induce the Oregon-Washington-Idaho aircraft corpora tion to have one of its airplanes do a little stunting over the ball field and to dropa ball from the clouds. Prizes will be given to the players catching the dropped balls and to those making the first hits, errors, boners, etc. The teams of the Portland Bass ball association, an amateur organi zation, will help boost' the big day. Si Simonsen, secretary of the asso ciation, appeared at the boosters' meeting with a promise to have most of his players out in uniform in the parade. A motion was passed requesting the judges to suspend court for the day. " Heeordf .Attendance Claimed. When Judge McCredie was called upon for a speech he arose, cleared his parched throat, and remarked: "San Francisco claims the Pacific Coast league attendance record, but think Portland has the record. That crowd of 16.126 in 1913 is the largest single crowd that can be found the official records. Somebody held out some of the money at San Fran Cisco If the Seals beat 16,123, because it doesn t snow that large In the ledgers. However, I would like to see Portland set a mark that will be undisputed."

Mr. Shepherd used to have' the springtime job of hoisting the pennant at Portland's ball yard, and inasmuch as the Beavers won four pennants in five consecutive seasons, 1910-1914. inclusive, George's hoisting arm used to be kept in fairly good trim.' The Beavers haven't copped since 1914, however, so there will be no burgee to raise this spring. As a suggestion it.-might be an added at traction to hoist one of Walt Mc Credie's old! shirts. , A Los Angeles burlesque show ad vertises a chorusthat "out-strips" all others. Billy Mascott will get his acid test tonight at Seattle when he meets Mike Ertle. Ertle is a good boxer and has met the best in the world from Jimmy Wilde down. The Mil- waukie boxing commission is reported to De planning on U3ing Mascott here on the April 21 against Sammv Gordon, With Pal Moore westward bound, this would appear to be slight ly premature. Mascott is immensely popular with local boxing fans and the aforesaid fans would like to see the doughty little Frenchman matched here against some boxer of interna tional reputation. Why doesn't the Milwaukie com mission or the Portland boxing com mission put on a Mascott-Pal Moore bout? There is plenty of time for the internecine warfare after the fans have seen their favorite in action against one of the eastern cracks. It is possible that Portland fans wil get a glimpse of the famous New York mermaids, Charlotte Boyle and Ethelda Rliebtrey, who are now in Honolulu for the centennial swim ming championships. According to the rreewnt schedule the mermaids will return to the coast via Vancou ver, B. C, and Seattle, where they are scheduled to show their heels to the fair sex of the north. Ethel Knowles, Multnomah's crack mermaid, should be able to give them a good fight, as she is in training for the coming events to be staged in Los Angeles shortly. Miss Knowles has never had much of a chance to show how fast she really can travel in competition, for she has nil the local talent beat a mile.

Los An geles defeated Vernon, 6 to 5. in an 11-inning game, the first of the sea son played hy the. Tigers on their home grounds. The Angels made their winning run when Bassler walked and scored on K. Crandall's double to center. Griggs gave the Angels their first home run of the season in the third inning, when, with Thomas and Kil- lefer on bases, he hit a long fly which bounced over Chadbourne's head and went to the center field fence. The score: asmuch as Carpentier is booked for a 10 weeks' vaudeville tour by Jack Curley and has a motion picture con tract afterwards, it is not likely that Portland fans will get an opportunity to see the famous French and Euro pean heavyweight boxing king in ac tion in this city. i Wichita Defeats Millers. lxs Anffeles-- B KilTr.m 8 Kills.

VRIXG the winter the iwtentlonal pass evil was given much pub licity. The great number of bases on balls which were given Babe Ruth was the cause of much of the com ment. When the New York club paid a fabulous price to Boston for Ruth, it was because of his hitting ability, bis habit of breaking up ball games with a home run. Many stories were printed, as to what Ruth ought to do in the matter of home runs with a short fence In both right and left field at the Polo grounds, and 7T games in which to shoot at them. Then the question was raised that In all proba bility Ruth would receive more passes than ever this year, and the New York club and the New York fans would not receive a real run for their money, because in a pinch tie pitcher crould invariably slip Ruth an intentional pass. Many Renllea Are Receive. I wrote an article on the subject. and asked the fans of the country to send me their opinions on the evil. received hundreds of replies, and some of the remedies offered for curbing the evil had much merit. Most or them, however, were rather drastic in their treatment of the subject, and called for a revision of the rules that meant a decided departure from prece dent. Lvidently the rulemakers feared to adopt a rule that was decidedly- contrary to any former method of handling the play. While realizing the evil of the intentional pass, and believing that some measure should e adopted in a hODe of curbtnsr it. tne ruiemaKers merely decided as follows: That when a pitcher is intention ally passing a better, the catcher must not leave the lines of his posl tlon until the ball has actually left the hands of the pitcher, and is on the way to the plate. Any violation of this rule on the part of the catcher caused the forcing of a balk on the pitcher, and permitted all base run ners to advance one base." Catcher Worse Than brer. In former years when a pitcher was ordered to pass a batter, the catcher in order to make it certain that the pitcher would waste the balls far enough moved away off to the side of the plate, perhaps six or eight feet wide of the position he usually as sumed. This made a target for the pitcher that was wide of the plate and made it reasonably certain that he wouldn t by any chance get one of the pitches close enough so that the bat ter could take a swing at it. Such pj-ocedure as this aldn't look any too well, but the actions of the catchers In the games I mw in the south this spring made it seem to me that the new rule made the doings of the catcher seem worse than ever. The catcher would assume his usua position DacK or tne plate, with no thought, however, of receiving the ball In that position. When a pitcher Is trying to intentionally pass a bat ter, he usually merely lobs the ball to the plate. In every instance the catcher would wait until the ball actually left the pitcher's hands and then would make a wild spring to th side of the plate, that made him took more like a kangaroo than a human being. Not in one case where pitcher decided to pass a batter did the' new rule making the catcher sta in his place until the ball was on th way give the batter ' the sllghtes chance to take, a swing. I don't be lieve the rule will have the slightes effect in curbing the intentional pass. EIGHT GAMES SCHEDULED Korhlcrf . . Sutherland .1 u n cy wisterzil . . Baker. . . .

While it will be fully a month be fore any accurate line can be ob tained upon the real strength of the teams, it would appear from the form displayed in spring practice that they can be grouped generally at this time as follows: National The Brooklyn. Chicago and Philadelphia teams appear to be stronger than last season, while New York, Pittsburgh and St. Louis are about equal in playing strength to the form shown early In 1919, Bos ton and Cincinnati are not Judged to be as strong as was the case last spring, according to close followers of baseball. American Philadelphia. Washing ton and Cleveland are all expected to play a more Impressive game this season than was shown respectively last year. St. Louis. Chicago and Detroit are classed as equals to their power of IS months ago, while Bos ton falls below the form of 1919. Tennis Play Delay Likely. NEW YOitK, April 13.
