BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
With his disposition somewhat im
proved by a night's sleep, Manager
Walter McCredie of the Portland
Beavers expressed himself yesterday
as not at all discouraged by the loss
of six consecutive games to San
Francisco last week. Mack attributes
a. crpat fieal of hi tribulations to in
juries and undoubtedly he is right.
Maisel and Blue two of Portland's
heavy swatters were injured in one
of the early games of the series and
the loss of the two men cost the club
a heavy toll, because Mack is weak on
second stringers.
Barnabee and Spranger helped at
first during Blue's absence and
Spranger and Cuyler filled in aa out
fielders. Slslin'a Coming Will Help.
Paddy Siglin's addition to the club
will help a great deal. Siglin trained
with the Detroit club this spring and
is in fine physical condition. Paddy is
a good hitter and with any luck would
have finished the initial eerie with
a .500 batting average.
Up to this- time the Beavers have
been very weak around the keystone.
Wes Kingdon has not been playing
the brand of baseball that, he Bhowed
last,' fall and not within several fur
longs of the brand he displayed in
spring training., In the 14 games of
the spring series, against such pitch
ers as Piercey and Oldham and the
Chicago flingers, Kingdon amassed a
batting average of .393. He started
off well in the first serleB at Salt
.Lake, but immeiately fell into a slump
and this slump probably has been one
reason why Wes has not displayed
much wizardry In his fielding be
cause the two departments are close
ly connected.
Invariably when a player falls into
a batting slump his fielding suffers.
Two More Good Men Neetfed.
Carl Spranger' is a willing lad and
looks like a good prospect, but he
is not ripe yet for a regular berth, in
the Pacific league.
At the close of the spring prelims
in southern California we ventured
the opinion that the Portland club
needed a new infielder, a new pitcher
and a new outfielder. The new in
fielder has joined the club and we
see no developments that would tend
to make us change our minds about
the necessity of at least two other
additions to the Beaver roster.
Maisel's injury emphasizes the ne
cessity of having good secondary
strength on the bench. "While young
Cuyler shows promise, Herb hasn't
had enough experience to justify his
retention even in the outfield utility
role. Manager McCredie said yester
day that he expected Maisel back in
the lineup about midweek at Seattle.
VitenlI' Piny Brilliant.
"Tex" Wisterzil is not in the best
physical condition, but his showing
last week in the face of wreck and
ruin endeared him to the local col
ony of ball fans. "Tex" played bril
liant, bang-up ball all week. Biff
Schaller and Dick Cox also did their
share toward keeping the club in the
race. Schaller came home in a bad
hitting slump, but found his eye
against the Seals.
"Every club has its run of ill-luck
and loses a flock of games in a row."
said Walter McCredie yesterday. "We
might as well get ours off our chests.
Last fall we took this same San Fran
cisco club and walloped it six straight
games here in Portland and my club
today is much stronger than it was
last fall. So that merely goes to show
that the loss of six games in a row
doesn't imply that my ball club Is a
second-division ball club. We'll come
back strong as soon as my regular
team gets in action. 1 need a new
outfielder and am trying to purchase
one now. Detroit hasn't .any extras,
nnl outfielders arc very hard to pro
cure." '
Sral'a Sweep !o flake,
" San Francisco's clean sweep of the
series was no fluke, however, be
cause the Seals have a much better
ball club than the dopestexs had fig
ured. Personally we believe the
Seals will be among the top three
clubs most of the year. Sam Agnew
has made a tremendous improvement
in Graham's team. During the series
Just ended Agnew continually out
guesses the locals on their hit-and-tin
scheme of attack. Kamm at third
played brilliantly in the field and
did his share at " bat. Caveney and
Corhan also performed prodigiously
in every department.
The big star of the San Francisco
Club was Ccnterfield Schick, Schick
is just a youngster, buf a mighty
promising one, who may be in the
majors in another season. He hit
the ball like a second Babe Ruth last
week, knocking the ball out of the
lot on three occasion and finishing
with a batting average that would
choke a rh'noceros. Schick is ex
ceptionally fast. In one game he
swiped three bases, including two
thefts of third.
"Slim" Love is to Join the Seals this
week at home and that will give
Manager Graham a full corps of vet
eran flingers, including Seaton, Scott,
Jordan, Smith, Couch and Love. Love
is the third reinforcement added to
the Seals since the season opened.
Catcher Telle came west from De
troit. Infieldcr Walsh is the other.
The Seals are in much better shape
for secondary strength than the
Beavers or the Angels.

BAKER, Or., May 3. (Special.)
Roy Anderson, manager of the Prine
Vilie Athletic club and former army
instructor of scientific wrestling at
Camp Taylor, will wrestle Ad Gus
tavo, the Argentine middleweight

terms, in a finish match, according
to a long-distance telephone message
received from the Prineville grappler
last night.
Anderson is after the world's mid
dleweight championship and. says he
first must remove Gustavo from his
path before he tackles the one re
maining obstacle to separate him
from a. match with Ted Thye. The
winner of the Anderson-Gustavo bout
probably will meet Basanta Singh,
the mysterious Hindu, In Baker, and
then the winner of that event is eligi

NORTH COAST OFF TODAY
XEW PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL
SEASON TO START.
Change Made in Teams in Attempt
to Bolster Up Circuit to
, Paying Basis.
All pre-season signs and omens
point to a successful year for the
Pacifip International league, which
opens its season tomorrow afternoon,
with Yakima playing at Spokane,
Seattle at Vancouver and Victoria at
Tacoma.
Interest in baseball appears to be
greater in that section of the coun
try at this time, than it has since
1916. which was the last good year
enjoyed by the now defunct North
western league. The circuit has been
slightly altered since that time,
Butte and Great Falls being dropped
owing to the geographical location,
and Victoria and Yakima substituted.
This is the second attempt to make
baseball pay in Victories. The first
effort met with indlferent success.
Yakima is a small city in the center
of a prosperous farming community,
but the people appear determined to
get behind their club and support it
to the best of their convenience.
Vancouver is the best ball town in
the league, with Spokane second. The
people at Vancouver have taken kind
ly to baseball and treat it with the
Ik
4 V 4
WM-.xri
same respect accorded hockey, la
crosse, soccer and other native pas
times.
Whether or not the fans of Seattle
will rally to the support of their en
try in this league is a big question.
This experiment, which was tried at
Portland a few years ago, did not
meet with success.
Tacoma has ever been the bane of
baseball magnates. This city is a
mystery. The fans demand and crave
baseball, but the fact remains they
have never supported the game." In
its time Tacoma has had some of the
best ball teams in the country, but
the fans seem to display more in
terest talking things over around the
corner cigar stores than they do in
visiting the ball park.

"Sandy" Macleod Loves
Slang and 'Lasses.
Vlnlting Golfer MImn Toddy, but
Finds Time to Disable Russet
Smith, at Wrestling.
WAVERLEY Country club played
host to two well-known British
linksmen during the past week
Alexander "Sandy" MacLeod of Lon
don, Eng., and Michael J. O'Brien of
Cork, Ireland, now of San Francisco.
They were guests of Guy M. S. Stand
ifer and Russel Smith of Waverley.
Mr. MacLeod is a Scotchman, and,
despite his long residence in London,
learned his excellent game at St. An
drews. He is also an amateur wrestler
of no mean ability, in his youth hav
ing won the catch-as-catch-can cham
pionship of the Savoy district.
In a friendly scuffling match at
Waverley last Saturday the big
Scotchman put a toe hold on Russel
Smith and tore loose the ligaments in
his left shoulder and as a result the
former ' Oregon and northwest golf
champion will be out of golf for two
or three weeks.
"I hae ben in America several
times," said the visiting Scotchman.
"Ye hae some funny gouf club names
here. While in the east I played a
gouf game at a club that was named
let me think habers! 1 believe it
was "Apawamis." Then I ran across
anither named "Minikahda."
When a friend showed' him a news
paper telling of the organization of a
club named "Palenachendchiesktatt
Golf club," "Sandy"1 as he is fa
miliarly known to British sportsmen
lost all his Scotch poise and the
ashes in his pipe did a shimmy and
showered all over his waistcoat like
volcanicftsh from Mount Lassen.
"How do you like America?"
"Verry wel except that I'm drouthy
for ma ain Scotch toddy," he replied.
"Ye Americans are a verry efficient
race. If wun of ye wair to be turned
-loose in a Chinese laundry th' furrst
thing ye'd do wud be t' let mc think
Oh. yes, ye Americans call it "fire"
all the Chinese. I Joe ycr slang an'
yer pretty lasses."
"So-long," said the interviewer.
"Quite long," said the Scotch visi
tor as he boarded the train for San
Francisco.

Red Cross "learn to swim" week
opened with showing of great suc
cess. Miss Lillian Hansen reports
over 75 beginners having received
their first lesson at the Y. W. C. A.
The Portland "Nat" had over 300
makt application for instruction. M.
G. Douglas, instructor at the Nat,
called upon the Jantzen unit of the
American Red Cross women life
savers for assistance. They showed
their ability as instructors by start
ing a great many beginners on their
way to becoming good swimmers.
The Y. M. C. A. had 42 small boys
in their tank from 4 to 5 yesterday.
Jo report has been received from
the Schattuck or Couch schools, but
it is expected that S'iss Schloth and
Mr. Burke, who are teaching there,
have been too busy to make a re
port. The Red Cross hopes to hear from
some 'of Portland's expert swimmers
to assist at the schools and at the
natatortum. The membersof the ex

take care of those that want to re

ural poise of the player born to the
game.
