(Special.) 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

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

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

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

Demaree for a fungo bat or a worn
out glove. Then Bill wrenched his

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.

to get a worthy substitute. As It now
is. 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.
Hugh McKenna is playing a bang-
up game at stortstop, and appears to
have cinched the berth. Val Noonan
has been out at third base due to an
ir.jured ankle, but Is expected to be
back in harness against the North Pa
cific college team here next Saturday.
It looks as if Summers, Bootn ana
has been recognized at O. A. C. as a
minor sport. Interest is running high,
and a waiting line is always found
around the courts.
Russell Colwell and Kenneth Joy
are two of last year's squad who aro
back In college. Joy won a base sec
tion championship in France, and Col
well held the championship of his
district while overseas. Both men
are from- Portland and members of
the Multnomah club.
Meets may bo arranged with Wash
ington and Oregon if enough material
turns out to warrant outside compe
tition. The co-eds will be represented
hy three tennis letter players, Mary
Holmes, Genevieve Betts and Edith
Gillette. MIhs Betts won the singles
championship last year against Ore
gon and will be a strong contender
again this year.
MAILERS DEFEAT PRESSMEN'
Score Is 1 I to 9 In tannic Sunday
on Montgomery Flat.
In the first game of the season for
both teams. The Oregoman Mailers
trimmed The Orgonian Pressmen
Sunday afternoon on the Montgomery
flats by a score of 1 to 9. The
Mailers hit Richards, the Pressmen's
twirler, hard and often, and, while
the Pressmen In turn got to Panley,
the Mailers' twirler, for several hits,
he managed to keep the blngles
somewhat scattered.
The Mailers are ready for a stren
