BTLK GREGORT. I The weather was better suited yes- Irday to a shower bath contest than baseball game, and with the heav- t3 pouring- down everything they ltd neither the Portland nor Salt .ke teams even went near the park. lis was more of a hardship on the ' avers than on the Bees, for Mo iedle's men haven't had a smell of ornlng practice since the season l-ened and had been looking forward some good batting licks once they rt on the home grounds. That's Mvllege a visiting team doesn't get. I If the weather moderates enough day so the players won't have to lear life preservers there will be a me. But the weather man doesn't ?li out much encouragement. It ferns this part of the coast is in an ea of low pressure, and as long as at continues the moon might be ilipsed a dozen times instead of only hce and nobody would know the dif- Ircnce. I Judge ITcCredie thought an equl- rctlal gale must have arrived from re way the wind howled and took on fter the Beavers won their opener irainst bait Lake, but some bug told m the equinox got here last month. lie Judge said if it wasn't the equinox I en it must be the assistant equinox. Ih boys couldn't think up an answer that, so he got away with it by de- lult. However, it's an ill wind and a ugh old rain Indeed that can't bring mebody good. Since he became a I.iall-scale rancher out at Multnomah ation Walter McCredie's emotions live been torn between the ball club id his acre tract He doesn't know I nether to be sorry because the rain setting the ball park afloat or glad -cause it will make the bay croD l.untifuL All the mora so because old Chief lorchers, who managed a Portland ill club in long ago days, but now Uses fancy-bred cattle, sent him a Ive Holstein heifer -calf yesterday horn bis farm near Tacoma. To be act. be sent the calf two or three iys ago. It arrived by express and ."alt was duly notified, but in the n- ftement-of trying to win the opening lime at home forgot all about it f eanwhlle the calf occupied the best I juaoir at the express office and ate ? a couple of perfectly good Pan- Ima hats. This got on the nerves of the ex- Iress employes and they notified Walt Iither forcibly yesterday to hurry up nd get his calf. So he took Del Baker iong with him as an expert on farm lf and livestock and got the infant I ovine. Then the problem arose as to l hat to do with it. The McCredie mansion at Multnomah station was I jilt without reference to calves, and Is Walt's wife declined to have the ritter In the basement the situation lecame extremely delicate. Del final ly solved It by taking the bull by the lorns, or the heifer, rather, though its lorns haven't grown yet. and sending out to nis own larm near Kew- I erg. McCredie hasn't named his calf yet I at he probably will call it Major, in pnor or me major leagues, as this hems the nearest to a Dlaver n v nt laera will send hint. Anyhow, so long as It rains enough I he grass will grow and the calf thus la assured plenty of fodder. That's b) comfort. iHe?

Pick a week I at bat. Score: ago was smacking anything a pitcher threw him. high, low. inside or out side, fast one or curve ball, it made o difference, and when he wasn i hitting them safe to begin with, the ball would hit a pebble or something and bounce safe. Of course, no player can keep up that lick very long, but let's hope it subsides a bit before the Sacs are here next week. Coming down to the Beaver team nd its quest for a few additional layers, a couple of peculiar things appened yesterday. One was that )on Brown, the lnfielder promised 'ortland by Chicago, has been I hipped to Salt Lake instead. Along Ivith him goes Pitcher Weaver, who .dried most unsuccessfully for Oak land in this league a season or two Kgo. Weaver pitched in a lot of ames for the Oaks, but didn't win ne of them. Whether he can go Inuch better this time is a gamble. ( s he did only fairly well with Kan- has City the latter part of last year. 'hicago obtained him from that club .lone with Hoke Warner, third base- Inan. in exchange for Nick Carter, a -itcner. The other funny thing was the In formation brought by Paddy Siglin hat Allen Conkwright, pitcher, and f-'othergiL outfielder, both of whom petroit had formally offered to Port land, both offers being accepted, have -een sent to Rochester, in the new I nternatlonal league. How such a hing can be Is hard to figure, but siglin has dope on it that seems unanswerable. According to Paddy, Conkwrlght's -.ome is In Salt Lake, and he has an Inpartment there. Just before the "Sees shoved off for Portland Sunday r.Irs. Conkwright got a telegram from per husband telling her to rent the ipartment and come east to Join him, is he and Fothergil had been sent to I Rochester. Such a deal beats the Dutch. Siglin says Conkwright was anxious enough to come west and Join the I Portland club, because his home Is in Salt Lake; he has always lived in the vest and much prefers it out here. Tet Portland was given to under stand, after the offer for these play- Icrs had been accepted, that neither Conkwright nor Fothergil would re port here. Conkwright won 24 games land lost only seven with Bloomlngton I of the Three I league last year, while Fothergil, In the outfield for the same leluh, led the league Jn hitting, with a percentage of .332. That does Port iland a lot of good now that the Bea- Ivers for some unknown reason have llost out on them both. Funny doings. In the meantime the Portland man. Iager is still burning up me trans continental telegraph wires trying to I get three or four more players from this big league club or that one. He I needs but two good pitchers, another seasoned lnfielder and perhaps an other man, though the pitching staff I should get better from now on. m m w The Beavers have come home for long stay in Portland. After the present Salt Lake series they take on in turn Sacramento next week. Oakland the week after and Vernon the fourth week. Sacramento is one rf the toughest teams in the circuit Weather permitting there will be a double-header here Sunday between Portland and Salt Lake, with tne first e-ame called at 1:30, and also a game between the same teams Mon day, to make up for Tuesday's postponement.

C. G. DODELE SHOOT WLVXER Score of 8 7 Registered, in Sler- chandlse Event at Cottage Grove. COTTAGE GROVE. Or., April 21. (Special.) C. G. Dodele of Albany won high honors In the merchandise shoot here Sunday, with a score of 87 out of a possible 100. H. H. Veatch, S. S. Lasswell and Ray Blass were tied for second place with 85 birds. On the shoot-off Veatch won with 29 out of 30 against 28 by Lasswell. For first two weelts by the margin of only one run, one of these games being a l-to-0 contest. Others ran 7 to 6, 3 to 2. 5 to 4 and 8 to 7. It is obvious from these figures that the northwesterners are by no means a weak sister outfit notwithstanding their position in the percentage col umn. The 8-to-7 game ra.n into 11 Innings. Another coast manager who has a call out in the east for players is Del Howard of the Oaklanders. He is in communication with Detroit in an effort to see what that club can do for him. It practically is a sure shot that there will be many an S. O. S. sent toward the Atlantic before the coast teams are satisfied they have the best men obtainable. With a prosperous season last year and an other in sight, the purse strings are loose.

It is Inter esting to note that the Portlanders In the first two weeks of play made 128 hits for 48 runs, yet had one victory to show for it all. Those are hits enough and runs enough to win a dozen ordinary battles. Poor pitch ing and bad breaks seem to be the answer. San Francisco. Sacramento and Los Angeles all are playing in even bet ter form than was prognosticated for them. Salt Lake is more than hold ing its own for a team that was figured still to be in embryo when the season opened. Vernon and Se attle are the two disappointments of the first two weeks, neither team living up to its reputation of the training camp days. Few critics ventured to eay any thing very definite about the Oak landers before the season started, so whether they were near the top or bottom of the list would not upset any dope. They are conveniently be twixt and between the two extremes, thus playing no favorites. Manager Cravath of Salt Lake is touring the larger eastern cities, in cluding Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadel phia and Boston in an effort to see what he can do in digging up some new material with which to strengthen his club. It was almost a foregone conclusion that this trip would be made sooner or later. It may be said for Portland that their opponents are practically reap ing the benefit of all the "breaks." Oakland and Pete Compton of Sacra mento are tied for home runs with three each, and Lane of Seattle has all competitors faded with eight stolen bases. The averages follow: Last Wk. AB. R. H. HR. SB.
