Walter McCredie'a youth ful Bearers continued their losing streak today when the Senators won a slugging bee by a score of 10 to C Sensational fielding by the local club in the early Innings of the game cut off many Portland hits, the Bea rers having little difficulty in finding the offerings of Tony Faelh for solid blows. Sam Ross was wild, walking six batters. Sacramento was first to core, putting over two in the fourth frame. Tortiand came back with five In the fifth, when a decision by Umpire Croater started a small riot. Paton started with a single over third, Ross followed him with a blow in the same direction, and Genin walked, filling; the bases. "Wolfer singled past second, scoring Paton. Ross went over on Krug s long fly to left. Tronble la Started. ' It was then the trouble started Cox lifted a long hit to left. The ball landed In doubtful territory, and Croater waved his arms in the air, causing the local players to believe the ball had landed foul. Croater however, ruled the hit fair. In the meantime Elliott, believing the hit foul, took Kopp's throw to the plate, and threw on the ground to second base. Genin and Wolfer scored on the hit, w-hile Cox pulled up momentarily at second. He took advantage of .Elliott's toss, and scored. He re ceived a two-base hit. Croater la l adecidrd. Croater was undecided as to what action he should take, and appealed to tmpire Finney, who upheld the de cision. McCredie protested when Croater showed a disposition to place Cox back on third, so the run was allowed to count. The umpire was in trouble with both sides throughout the con test. Sacramento scored four In the sixth end four in the eighth innings. Three base hits by Elliott and McGafflgan with the bases loaded did the princi pal damage in both instances. Portland scored In the eighth on Poole's double. Baker's sacrifice and Butler's single. The score: Portland i Sacramento R H O A B R H O A!

GREGORT. mHE big day hereabouts in a base- I ball way, of course, is next Tues day, when the Beavers formally open the Pacific Coast league season against Salt Lake, but in the mean time the city's baseball appetite is to be whetted up, so 'to speak, by a couple of preliminary games. The New York Colored Giants and Billy Speaa' Reglna club of the West ern Canada league will entertain" at the Vaughn-street park this coming Saturday afternoon. Sunday the Giants will play the Interstate All Starsv a club composed of ex-service men. The proposed Friday game here be tween the Regina club and the Col ored Giants will be played at Salem instead. In the meantime the Giants are now at Eugene, where they were to play the University of Oregon yes terday. and they play at Albany today and at Oregon Agricultural college tomorrow. These Colored- Giants are great cards. In Currey and Rogan the club has a couple of pitchers who could hold their own with almost any big league outfit, and they have some mighty good players in several other positions. They are traveling under the name of the Colored Giants, though most of the members of the club belong to the Kansas City team of a colored league of 12 clubs which opens its season in another week or so. The, Giants played the Beavers a couple of series at Santa Maria, and sent more than one Portland hurler to the ebowers. Tbey can hit the ball and field, but what makes their play ing take so with the crowd is the antics tbey cut up when they are in the lead. One of their specialties is a "shadow practice," at the close of the regular fielding practice. They dispense with the ball, but go through all the mo tions of batting, fielding, throwing and making errors. One or two of the stunts they pull in this shadow field ing are hilarious screams and never fail to get a roar from the crowd. Billy Speas, the old Portland Out fielder, now managing the Regina ciub. with which he won the first half of the Western Canada season and lost by only one game in the play off with the winner of the second half, has assembled a gang of hus tling youngsters at his training camp in Salem. Several of them are play ers sent him by Walter McCredie. These embryo Beavers include Ed Zink, southpaw pitcher; Johnny Fred ericks, the Portland ls-year-old who .showed enough at Santa Maria to convince Walt that one of these days ne win be a great outfielder, and Herman Ross, a huge right-handed brother of Sam Ross, the Portland southpaw. s The injury to Carl Sawyer. Vernon second baseman, whose leg was brok en in two places when he slid Into third base in the morning game Sun day, gives Bill Essick something to worry over. He was already facing a tough shortstop problem, for young Gorman, who replaced Johnny Mitch ell at short, while fast and promising, isn't yet in Mitchell's class by any means. Vernon last year had the best mid' diamond combination in the Pacific Coast league in Mitchell at short and Fisher at second. There are faster men In baseball than Fisher, but he was one of those smart players who Is always figuring and he had the knack of being on top of the play. He also was aggressive and a good hitter. Mitchell's record caused the Yanks to buy him in the deal that sent six players to Vernon Fisher, while exonerated of the charges brought against him by Babe Borton, still apparently wasn t suffi ciently cleared to suit Essick, who traded him to Minneapolis for Saw yer. The latter is known everywhere as "the comedian." He may be funny, but as a second' baseman he doesn't compare with Fisher. But now Mitchell is with the New Tork Tanks, Fisher is with Minne apolis, and Sawyer is out with a broken leg that probably will keep him out all season. Without wishing anybody hard luck, there's a certain mean satisfaction in seeing some oth er club besides Portland with trouble on its hands. Bill Kenworthy at Seatttle has been having tough luck, too: but Bill I saved himself a lot of explanation by getting away with a 22-inning game at Los Angeles Sunday after lesing five starts in a row. Bill be gan his regime as manager by getting into a row with Al Demaree, his slow ball pitcher, who onee hurled for the New Tork Giants. The cause of the trouble isn't stated, but Bill was in a frame of mind for a while to trade Demaree for a fungo bat or a worn out glove. Then Bill wrenched his back and was running around in Los Close Struggle . Between Clubs Anticipated. 16 FAVORABLE WEATHER DUE Boxers on Scales.

Following the world war the popularity of baseball appeared to leap forward with a fervor little an ticipated by either player or magnate, and there is little indication that the national game has reached the zenith of its flight. Record breaking crowds have wit nessed the various exhibition games during the southern training trips, and advance saleB of seats for to morrow's initial flag contests clearly indicate that baseball fans have in creased in numbers since that October day when the Cleveland Americans drew the curtain across the scene wherein the Brooklyn Nationals fell before the prowess of Tris Speaker and his brigade of Indian battlers.

The game commission has Issued a warning to all sportsmen not to train their dogs on game birds during the RINGSIDE SYSTEM SCORED Portland Commission Announces I Xew Plan for Determining Fighters" Avoirdupois. BT DICK SHARP.. The practice of weighing boxers at ringside, as has been done by both the Portland and Milwaukie boxing commission, is ridiculous as well as harmful to the boxers and to the boxing game.-- The reasons advanced for ringside weighing are: First, to let the fans know what the boys really weigh. and second, to determine the weight difference between the contestants. The way the thing has been done is a joke. Half of the time the cor rect weights have not been announced, and if there was too great a dif ference the. weights have been doctored. The right thing to do is to weigh every contestant at 2 P. M. the day of the fights. This is done in 17 states in which boxing is legalized. It was found harmful to compel boxers to make ringside weight, or even to weigh in at ringside. The plan of weighing in at z F. M. will be tried by the Portland boxing commission Friday. Every boxer on the card will be obliged to weigh n at that time. The weighing will pu-i,-.- iwL-.m,! m be done in public , and the general I public will be invited to be on band.

If one boxer has a mtie weignt advantage the other may refuse to go through until It is agreed that the match be called a draw if both boys are on their feet at the end of the fightj There is nothing that' hurts the game more or is more disagree able to the fans than to have such a trick pulled. With the boys weighing in at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. If one of them gets huffy he can be yanked off the bill or pinned down to his word to go through to a decision. Neither matchmaker nor the fans have a bit of protection with ring side weighing in vogue. It stands to reason that it would be as hard for boxer to make 118 pounds at 2 o'clock as it would to make It at ring side. On the other hand, if a boxer promises to make 118 at 2 o'clock and fails he still may be given the leeway of making it by ringpidle time. If he had promised to make it at ringside and then failed hli opponent might refuse to box at the last minute. This has happened many times. The fans are as much entitled to watch the boxers weigh In as thy are to know the boxers' weight. There is no opportunity for the fans to get a glimpse of this process at ring side, with the scales set up in a little dressing room, and with the bouts probably already under way. Also, the fans hav shown little faith in the figures that have been announced as ringside weights and frequently have booed the announcements. If weighing in at 2 o'clock were not a better plan than weighing in at ringside, the leading boxing minds OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallls, April 12. (Special.) With four consecutive victories to their credit, the O. A. C. baseball team has scheduled a clash with the New Tork Colored Sox for Thursday. e ebon-hucd "major leaguers" will invade Corvallls and probably will hand Jimmy Richardson's Beavers a i;eat trimming, but the college can be relied upon to put up a good exhi bition of the national pastime. The Beaver twirlers are not fling ing in real fashion, but another week of warm weather will put tho battery men in shape to dispense some mysti fying slants for opposing batsmen. Bort Babb and Emmet Hughes, of last year's college twirling staff, are in fair condition, but Cecil Miller, the Aggies' star portsider, has not hit his stride. Joe Kasberger, to whom Rich ardson Is pinning his faith, is coming along nicely, and by the time the team departs on its conference trip to Seattle and Pullman, in another two veeks, Kasberger will be ready for mound duty. Richardson will carry Babb, Hughes, Miller and Kasberger for his pitching staff, with Whitney Gill and Michael Duffy as catchers. Spec Keene is holding down first base in great style, and Is beginning to lace out base hits with regularity. 'Penny" Bergeson U filling in at second base since Tasto was put out cf the game by injuries. From the way Bergeson handled himself against the Multnomah club Saturday, when he had several chances and whanged out two hits and scored the winning run in the ninth, he will be hard to beat out.
