(Special.) Portland defeated the
Santa Maria oil field team this after
noon by the score of 11 to 5, with
two veteran pitchers, Ross and Pol
son, doing the mound work. The
Pacific fleet team was to have played
the Beavers today, but at the last mo
ment sudden Bailing orders made H
impossible lor them to fill the en
gagement. ,A feature of the game was the
brilliant work ot young Walter Genin
in left field. lie fielded several hard
catches perfectly, made two sparkling
throws to the bases, smacked a couple
on the nose for safeties and beat out
an infield hit by his speed.
Walter McCredle had just about de
cided on Genin for utility outfielder,
but his work today cinched the job
for him. Walt had expected to hear
from President Beck of the Chicago
club today, giving the names of the
three players, one of them an in
ficlder and the other, two pitchers, to
be sent him by the. club, but no word
Bniy Speas, manager of the Reglna

who has been looking over likely
youngsters for his team, left Santa
tu,i mnirht for Portland. He will
begin training at Salem with his Re
gina team April 8. a
Speas will get Johnnie Fredericks,
the 19-year-old Portland outfielder;
Kd Zink, ex-University of Nebraska
southpaw, and Jack Nofziger. who
pitched for Vancouver. B. C last
season. Speas expects also to have
Ycd Connell, the Modesto pitcher,
and may also take Sherman Ross, the
tall 19-year-old kid brother of Sam.
All these players will remain until
training camp is broken at the end
of the week. Beginning Tuesday,
Walt expects to tryn down his squad.
He has his mind made up now.
The young fellow at Burrows he is
sure to keep; Art Bourg, who will be
the Beavers' regular right fielder;
Walter Genin, utility outfielder; Rip
King, catcher, and Hazen Paton,
shortstop and first baseman.

cial
ai.) Charlie Grahams first equaa
of
s.al. on its way to the home
Vftrt(rpv where it broke
training camp, stopped off in Sa
linas long enough to escape a neat
heating at the hands of Frank
Juney's club that is now in the newly
organized state league. It was a near
defeat for the Coasters, who just did
manage to pile out on top by a score
of 9 to f 'n a game that witnessed
plenty of hitting and all the elements
of raggedness.
It wasn't exclusively a Salinas out
fit that came so close to taking the
honors from San Francisco. Juney
was shy on battery workers and Fat
Anfinson, catcher, with Pitchers I.u
dolph and Flaherty, were lent to the
valley club.
O'Doul Btarted the heaving for the
Seals, but the Salinas sharpshooters
started to pick him off in the second
inning, when three hits netted four
ruiiB. Salinas kept out in front until
the sixth, when the score was tied.
The Seals gathered two In the eighth
and that spelled victory.
The Seals left at 7 o'clock for San
Francisco to have a day of leisurely
work at Recreation park befare they
play their first game with the Cubs
on Tuesday.

CAT HER DOES HARD HITTING
Oaks t'tllity Man Expected to Be
Hard to Keep on Bench.
OAKLAND, Cal., March 27. (Spe
cial.) Ted Cather. destined for the
Oakland utility role though he is, will
be hard to keep off the regular line
up if he hits anything like he did to
day in the two games the Oakland
coasters played on the home grounds.
In the first game against the Tribune
all-stars. Cather and Catcher Read
were lent to the Stars. Cather got
five hits and Read got four, thereby
beating their own teammates, 8 to 7.
In the afternoon game, Cather
played center field part of the time
for the Oaks and annexed two more
hits. Seven hits in seven times up
is not so bad. Incidentally, Oakland

Pacific Northwest Association An
nual Championships Is Sched
uled for June 20 to 25.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 27. (Spe
cial.) Walter E. Pearson and his
tournament committee having, in
charge the annual championships
meeting of the Pacific Northwest Golf I
association at the Waverley Country
club, Portland, June 20-25, plan on an
entry list of 288 persons for the major
events. In the light of what has de
veloped since that figure was adopted
it appears that Chairman Pearson and
his committee have been too modest.
Harry E. Phipps, captain of the
Grays Harbor Country club, was here
with the Rotarians recently and said
"Aberdeen will be there stronger than
to any other tournament ever held in
the Pacific northwest. We will have
a four-man team for the Davis tro
phy, consisting of Heinle Schmidt,
Billy Patterson, myself and a fourth
man, who may be George Fowler."
At the same tournament Paul W.
Johns o the Tacoma Country and Golf
club eagerly discussed the meeting at
Waverley. He promised a goodly at
tendance from his town and be was
certain even more than he had ex
pected to attend would go when he
was able to inform them more fully
of the details of the handicap tourna-
mentaeature.
F. B. Krause, secretary of the Walla
Walla Golf club, was a Rotarian club
competitor that day and he was glad
to fall into hands who could give him
details of the meeting at Portland:
for, he said. Senator Sharpstein had
returned from the Vancouver meeting
last year with such glowing accounts
of what goes on at these annual gath
erings that all who could get away
wouid be at Waverley.
Fred Myrick, steward of the Seattle
Golf club, returned recently from a
several months' visit to southern Cal
ifornia. He said that Dr. Paul M.
Hunter, medalist at Vancouver last
year and present state amateur cham
pion, had already arranged his party
of four that will motor to Portland
from Pasadena.

DUFFY SAYSHE'S ILL
RETURNS HOME
Shade Left to Fight Either
France or Murphy.
AILMENT HELD LUMBAGO
Pain in Side Complained of Follow
ing Bout Recently; Mllwaukie
Card Is Wednesday.
BY DICK SHARP.
Jimmy Duffy Is homeward bound.
The Oakland tattler boarded the rat
tler yesterday, leaving Matchmaker
Kendall of tne Mllwaukie arena hold
ing the well-known sack. As a result
Dave Shade will tackle either Earl
France or Frankie Murphy in the ten
round main event of Wednesday
night's card at the Milwaukie arena.
Duffy complained about trouble in
his side, and although Kendall says
a doctor's examination found Jimmy
in good shape, -uffy declared he felt
unable to train for the mill, so called
the bout off. It was the same trouble
which caused him to cancel his four
round fight with Shade in Seattle re
cently. France substituted for Duffy
on that occasion and fought Shade
draw. After his fight with France at
the Heilig theater the other night
Duffy said a pain in his side began
to bother him. He said it was lum
bago.
Earl France would tackle Shade In
a minute, although Shade outweighs
him from five to seven pounds, but
for the fact that he is already signed
to tangle with Clonle Tait, 15 rounds,
In Butte, Mont., April 5. Kendall got
hold of Billy Rose, France's manager,
just as the two were boarding the
train for Butte and asked them to re
main over. In signing for the Tait
fight France agreed to be on the
ground seven days previous to the
match, which, if he carried out the
terms of the contract, would put him
into Butte March 29. His manager
telegraphed the Butte promoters, ask
ing for ah extension of time so as to
permit France to fight in Milwaukie
March 30. In case this cannot be ar
ranged, Shrfde will again battle Mur
phy. Murphy 'and Shade fought a hard
ten-round fight in the last main event
it Milwaukie, Shade winning the de
cision. Murphy contends that he was
entitled to a draw, but.as Shade got
in the most solid punches he was
awardedythe verdict.
'Army, Welch, the Seattle light
heavyweight who tangles with Goat
Lavigne in the ten-round main event
at Vancouver Barracks tomorrow
night, will arrive today for a final
workout. He will be accompanied
by Dan Salt. LavlgAV, who is better
known to the Pacific coast ring fol
lowers as Goat Lavln. has been
training daily for this coming clash.
Walter Moriarty and Lieutenant
Burger have lined up an excellent
card of preliminaries to the Lavin
Welch bout and look for -a big house.

BASEBALL OUTFITS. SKATES,
'X EVERYTHIXG ARE CP.
Ten Per Cent Tax, Held Aimed at
Professionals, Is Declared to
Fall Short of Its Mark.
From vacant lots, playfields and
side streets has come a howl of grief.
The high cost ot playing has hit the
kids.
Kverything the little fellows nlay
with has gone up. Roller skates and
sneakers and tennis rackets and base
ball stuff 'n everything. The outfit
for which the baseball, team earned
$100 by selling papers and running
errands and working after school now
costs $110. It was hard work to raise
the $100, too, because there wasn't
any snow to shovel last winter, and
the team doesn't know where the
other $10 is coming from. There is
gloom in boyland these bright spring
days.
The 10 per cent tax. says the dis
passionate, undoubtedly was aimed at
professional, baseball, which the com
mittee felt could well afford to pay
it; but the committee probably hasn't
played baseball for some time, and
the boys believe it is out ot touch
with the facts.
Tn this contention the youngsters
are supported by Walter Nash, local
manairer of A. G. Spalding Bros.
store, who estimate that 70 per cent
of all sporting and athletic goods
made is sold to children under 18. and
ess than one-half of 1 per cent to
professionals.
Right to Steal First Base
Receives Advocate.
.
Plan of Kansas City Attorney I"
,to I'ut Mne Mm on Bases In a
Way Fair to Both Sides.
BY B1L.LT KVANS.
OME years ago there was in the
minor leagues a fast outfielder
He could Btep 100 yards in about ten
flat, was a fine fielder and a great
thrower. When he got on the bases
he ran wild. However, he was. weak
at the bat. In the minors he hit
around .200. A major-league scout
was so enthused he recommended the
purchase of the player, despite his
well-known weakness at the bat. The
manager of the team knew of the
player's inability to hit. When the
scout began to laud his speed and
bility to steal bases, the manager
settled the argument by replying:
"He may be able to do all you say
when he gets on the bases, but there
s no way that he can steal first.
The other day I received tne loi-
owinff letter from a prominent Kan
sas City attorney, who is a baseball
fan. He Is In favor of giving the
batsman the right to steal first base.
Here is the letter just as he wrote it:
I am writing you from the view
point of the baseball fan, and have
this suggestion to make, which, I be-ii-iii
itntirnv. thp rame of base
ball, 'especially from the viewpoint of
he fan. The most interesting games
to me are those where men get on
th bases. I have no hesitancy in
saying nine out of ten baseball fans
ike action in a game.
"My plan is to put more men on
the bases in a way that is fair to
both sides, pitchers included, and my
plan is as follows:
"Change the present rules so tnai
hey will allow the batter to steal
first base. The rule could be made so
that the batter could steal first base
at any time after tne umpire cans
batter up. and the batter has taken
Mb place in the box; or, it ould be
ade to allow him to steal first base
after one ball has been thrown by the
pitcher to the batter, whether it re
sulted in a strike, a ball or a foul;
hat, however, is mere detail. The
big idea is to devise rules whereby
he batter may be allowed to steal
irst base.
"One criticism I often see of the
game is the ins ana tne outs ; inai
is to say, that because of scientific
pitchers, the 'outs' always have it on
he 'Ins are superior over tne -ins.'
My plan and I have written about it
before has a tendency to and will
even up that inequality. I believe
such a change in the. rules would be
welcomed by the great concourse of
outdoor baseball fans.
I have never yet seen a logical
reason stated why the batter should
not be allowed to steal lirst base,
and I have been agitating the ques
tion so long I have come to the con
clusion that there is none."
The suggestion of the fan is so
drastic I have my doubts as to
whether it would be a step forward.
The gentleman has made a number of
valuable suggestions in letters that I
have received from him. However. I
am not very strong or big latest, the

giving the batsman the right to steal
1 first base. Indeed. I fear it would be
difficult to work out any satisfactory
rule under which he might have such
a right.

OFF AGAIN ON AGAIN
In the days of "George II
the well dressed man carried
his hat, but never wore it
for fear of ruffling his wig.
Nowadays, a man is more,
particular about his hat
than his hair; he buys a
Gordon because it looks
good on his head.
Good looks in a hat is de
pendent on quality one
reason why this season's
Gordons are so sightly.
