Leader and Hurlburt Will
Open Season.
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.

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.

GCDY TO RETURN TODAY!
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.

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

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

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. -
