MAYOR WILL BE UMPIRE Semi-Pro Schedule to Start With Parade and Guard Kirk patrlck Contest. To Colonel John L. Leader of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, former com mandant of the University of Oregon training camp, goes the honor of pitching the first ball in the opening, semi-pro baseball game of the season next Sunday afternoon on the-Vaughn street grounds with the Multnomah Guards and Kirkpatricks as the op posing teams. Colonel Leader will also lead the parade of semi-pro teams through the downtown streets directly preceding the opener. Sheriff T. M. Hurlburt will.be behind the bat with the padded mit, chest protector and mask In an attempt to corner Colonel Leader's fast one Mayor Ba ker will decide whether the first ball pitched is a strike or ball. Manager SI Simonsen will send Bowers and Harris to the mound for the Guards, while Bill Heales, who guides the destinies of the Kirkpat rick squad, will give Odell and Beaver a chance at the twirling end. Weather permitting, the game will get under way at 2 o'clock. C. A. Bradley, manager of the Port land Iron Works nine, will send his fast aggregation against Billy Speatt' Keglna team of the Canadian league in a practice session Frlay afternoon on the Vaughn street grounds. The game was originally slated for Mon day of this week but rain interfered. Bradley has lined up a fast bunch of tossers to carry the uniform of the Iron Works team this season and on the showing they have already made, 'the team has an excellent chance of landing among the leaders of the inter-city league. Manager Simonsen called his Mult nomah Guard team together last night at the Guard club rooms for the pur pose of issuing uniforms. The team .will be outfitted in nifty gray uni forms with a monogram on a shield of red, white and blue. The last chance of entering the Portland Baseball association will be at the meeting to bo held tonight at the Multnomah Guard club rooms at 7:30. It is expected that Sherwood, Camas and Woodburn will apply for a franchise in the intcr-city league tonight. With the bringing in of these three out-of-town nines it will mean that the cricuit will be com posed of 10 teams. Fans Enfilade Attendance Guess of Mayor Baker. Barrasf of 1.1. and 17.041a Kail flrr City Kxecutive Ha arda Aaaertion 17,000 1'er.on Will Sir Uprnlng Day Battle of Braver on Home Orouad. PROMINENCE sometimes is penal ized. A few days ago Mayor George L. Baker made a guess that 17,000 fans would pay their way to see the opening ball game In Port land. Immediately there came a deluge of guesses Into The Oregonian that not only enfiladed and ambushed the mayor's estimate, but so entirely surrounded It that the mayor's esti mate will have to be exact to the fan if he gets the closest guess. Nearly half a dozen 16,999s poured In on the barrage and an equal num ber of 17,001s showing that all the humor Is not possessed by Charley Chaplin and "Fatty" Arbuckle. Weather conditions on April 21 will have & considerable bearing on whether or not a record crowd turns out to see the Beavers open the sea son against the Angels. If the weather is fine and the baseball boosters under "Proxy" Callahan get In good licks there may be a whale of a crowd, even approximating the record of 1,12 established In 1918. That tremendous crowd followed the season of 1912 when the Beavers had one of their poorest teams in years. Of course, if the weather Is inclem ent It will cut down the attendance. Guesses to date range all the way from 2000 to 20,000. Bowling Notes. Standing of teams at the finish o 72d game: Tm Won. Lout. 2 P.

THELMA PAYXE REMAINS AT t DENVER ON VISIT. Three-Time National Diving Cham. ' plon Seems Assured of Place on Olympic Team. Jack Cody, swimming mentor of Multnomah club, will 'return to Port land this morning from Detroit, where his star pupil. Miss Thelma Payne, for the third consecutive time won the women's national fancy diving title. - Multnomah first broke intb the div ing spotlight in 191, when Cody's star diver. Mrs. Constance Meyer, placed second to Miss Aileen Allen of the Los Angeles club. Miss Meyer gave the southern girl such a run that she has since made it a practice to keep shy of the local girls. The national diving title came to Portland in 1917, when Mrs. Meyer de feated her teammates. Helen Hicks and Thelma Payne, who placed second and third, respectively. The tables were turned in 1918, when the Multnomah club staged the national diving event, and Miss Payne carried off the national title, with Miss Hicks second and Mrs. Meyer third, and for the second time the Los Angeles star failed to appear. Detroit put on the national event last year and many predicted that the title would be won by an eastern girt. Miss Josephine Bartlett of New York. Multnomah sent Miss Payne and her Instructor, Jack Cody, east and Miss Payne won- the title, Mles Bartlett placing fourth. Last Saturday night the ' diving stars of the country met. with Miss Payne again carrying off the national championship, breaking all precedents In the history of fancy diving. A coincidence In connection with the meet was the fact that Miss Vonnie Malcolmson of Detroit, Helen Wain wrlght of New York and Josephine Bartlett all finished In the order named, as they did in the contest of a year ago. Miss Payne Is practically certain to be the representative of Amertoa at the Olympic games at Antwerp this summer. With the Olympic games tryouts scheduled for the Fourth of July at San Francisco, the Multnomah club will enter Miss Payne and Mrs. Meyer in the springboard event and Mrs. Meyer in the high diving. Mrs. Meyer has for many years held the high-diving championship of the coast and Multnomah will more than likely have two diving stars at Antwerp. Miss Payne will not return to Port land this morning, having stopped over in Denver to visit her grand mother. After resting for several weeks she will resume training for the Olympic trials. Immediately upon his return Cody will start whipping his water polo team into shape for . the national championships which will be held In San Francisco starting April 26. The local club team has carried off the northwest title for several years and they are out to bring home national honors this time. TRACK CHANCES INTEREST CALIFORNIA TRIES TO DOPE OUT TEAMS OF NORTH. May 15 Conference Date Begins to Loom Large on Near-Distant College Horizon. SAN FRANCISCO, April 14. (Spe cial.) Now that the University of California and Stanford university have held their initial meets, follow ers of this sport are beginning to figure on the relative ability of the California college track and field men and the colleges of the Pacific north west. So far Oregon and Washington uni versities. Oregon Aggies, Washington State and University of Idaho have not had the same opportunities to round their men Into shape that Cl Ifornia, Stanford and the University of Southern California have had. This is naturally due to climatic condi tions and the earlier start of the outdoor season in California. On April 17 California and Stanford will compete in their annual compe tition. This will 'be followed with the coast intercollegiate conference meet at Palo Alto May. 15, and it Is this latter meet the followers of coast col lege activities in general are waiting for. The California Stanford meet Is really the final of the season in Cal ifornia, whereas Oregon Aggies, Ore gon, Washington and other north western colleges had their initial meets of their season April 10. It is known that the northwest has some stellar individuals, but just what their ability Is will not be known for a comparison until they have had opportunity to round into real condition for the season. New York Americans Solve Infield Problem. Ward for Third and Prnntrr for Second, With Men at-1 for Infield, Give - Manaarer HnK-glns Keeling f Having Fin Trio la Ileserve. NFIELDERS capable of holding A their own !n fast comoanv are most valuable assets to any ball elub. Very, often the late arrival of some veteran, due to kick over salary or tor some other cause, makes it pos sible for some youngster to prove bis wortn. Manager Huggins of the New York Americans need not worry over the infield problem, although it did seem at the start of spring training that he might be up against it. The re port of Frank Baker's retirement, and his failure to go south with the team. made it necessary that Huggins de velop a third Backer. It was generally believed that Fewster would be fa vored for the place. However, in all the games I saw the Yankees play in the south, war was used) at third base, and Fewster at second in place or tne veteran rratt. TVard Rita la God Style. Ward hit the ball In regular Baker style in the games in which I saw him perform, although I don't be lieve he could any where near keep up such a gait during th. regular season. He did demonstrate beyond a doubt that he could field the posi tion in finished style. He has plenty of speed and all he needs to do is hit the ball around .250 to be a real big leaguer. Even though Baker does start the season at third base for New York, Huggins need have no worries If Baker is forced out Of the game through illness or Injury. Ward has proven beyond a doubt that he Is a big league infielder. When it Comes to fielding, this chap Fewster Is a wonder. He can do any thing around the second sack, and do It with ease and grace. In fact, his rather careless manner of handling a ground ball makes the acceptance of difficult chances look rather easy. He Is very fleet of foot, a good waiter, and ought to be better than the aver age hitter, because he takes a nice swing and steps Into the ball as if he meant it. Fewster is a sure enough big leaguer, if be proves that he can r-r fcL cP7nXt, i)N,TlHor KsppeabstBser hit. In a few years he will be one of the infield stars of the circuit, Meoael I. Ooos Prospect, Incidentally Huggins has another most promising prospect for the In f'eld in Meusel, a star in the Coast league last year. Meusel Is a great big fellow, beautifully built and car rying not an ounce of superfluous weight. He seems much too big a fellow to be a third baseman, but in the games I saw him play, he looked the part all over. Not knowing where he played you would pick him as a first sacker or a pitcher. In all probability the New York infield at the start of the season will be made up Of Baker, Pecklnpaugh, Pratt and Pipp. However, it must be very pleasing to Manager Huggins to know that he has in reserve so tal ented a trio as Ward, Fewster and MeuseL SUIT BROUGHT FOR FARM COURT ASKED TO SET ASIDE SALE OF PROPERTY. 10,000 Shares of Tractor stock, Received as Consideration, Al leged to Be Without Value. CHEHALI3, Wash.. April 14. (Spe cial.) The suit of Dorothy M. Maw son vs. F. T.

War Department Shows Desire to Give Northwest Complete Protective Service. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington. April 14. As evidence of Its desire to give the northwest and Pacific coast states a complete forest air patrol, the war department prepared and placed in the hands of Senator Nugent of Idaho an amend ment to the army organisation bill providing additional commissioned personnel for the air service. Chairman Wadsworth of the senate military affairs committee is inclined to object to the amendment on the grounds that it has nothing to do with th military service but Is of mors Interest to the department of agriculture, which has supervision over the national forests. Senators McNary of Oregon, Jones of Washington and Nugent of Idaho have made representations to him that no air patrol will be possible without the co-operation of th. "war department, which has all of the trained aviators and that It is too late to organize an outside air serv ice for that purpose. A conference was held on the air patrol subject today by Secretary ot War Baker and General MenoHer. chief of the air service, 'with a view of extending the desired protection of the northwest. Unless legislation is enacted they say that one squad ron of 21 planes for California and Oregon is the best that can be prom ised. - Republics' Officers to Train. WASHINGTON, April 14.
