Newspaper Page Text' . - THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAy. rORTLAXD, MAY 7, 1911. " " . BEAVERS GO SOUTH WITH FINE RECORD Fans Highly Pleased With Team's Work During Series Here.- CONSISTENT PLAY SHOWN Champlom Hare Taken Every Series Except One aifd Tjlnfc An other McCredle's Bunch of Pitchers Looks Good. . BT W. J. PETHAIX. Walter McCredle and his Portland team will bid adieu to the fans here this afternoon, for the Champion Bea vers are scheduled for two weeks' play In California commencing with . . the series with San Francisco, which be gins Tuesday. With fair weather a record-breaking crowd undoubtedly will be out to give the hustling bunch a royal sendofr. The Beavers have. played fine base ball. In eTery department the team baa more than lived up to expectations. It Is well balanced and though with out the serrlces of a left-handed twirler. McCredle'a braves loom up as pennant possibilities. The season Is yet youns; to be claim In the pennant, but almost every fan who has attended the Karnes In Portland since the opening on April II is ready to assert that the team that does win the flap; this year will hare to beat out McCredie's Bea rers. Playing- Is Consistent. Consistent playing has marked the work of the team ever since the Bea rers commenced their climb from fifth place to the top of the heap by trim ming the Oakland club. Starting out the season the team lost the first series to Los Angeles by the margin of one game, but since then they bare won every series played, except that tied with Vernon the second week of the season. Today they meet this same team In the final game of a shortened series, due to the wet weather condi tions, which came near postponing all of the games scheduled here this week. However, the players braved the rain to get In a majority of the games sched uled. During the coming Invasion of Cali fornia the Bearers meet Ban Francisco at San Francisco in a series of seven games. Including two contests sched uled for next Sunday. At the con clusion of that series they are sched uled at Sacramento for six games, and this will be their first appearance at the California capital city since last September. All told the Portland team is scheduled to play 11 games In two weeks away from home and will re turn here on May SS with 8an Fran rlsco as the opposing club. McCredle seems to have six reliable right-handed pitchers, who can' be de pended upon. With these twirlers the club Is well fortified and does not need a left-hander unless a flrst-class one ran be secured. Good left-handed pitchers are always of value to a club, though, as a rule, they are unsteady. Greggs Are Rarity. "Southpaw" twirlers like Vean Gregg re seldom to fcs had. and while there are a few mw In the Pacific Coast League who can be styled winners, they are so scarce that a mediocre rlght-haoder Is often preferable. The pitching of Steen. Sea ton. Henderson and Koestner has been exceptionally good of late, which Indicates that this quartet will be able to deliver the goods right along, and Fullerton and Fanwell are also high-class twirlers. who will show well during the season. Fullerton has been decidedly unfor tunate during the present sojourn of the Beavers at home. but. like Gene Xrapp. who failed to win a game on the Portland diamond during the first home series of the club, he may hare better luck next trip. Beaton pitched a remarkable game acainst the Vernon club last Tuesdsy. which followed a similar performance asalnst Sacramento the previous week, end his present record during the home series Is three wins against one defeat and this sort of work stamps him as a successful pitcher. It II Beaters Are Strongest. The niarlng of the Beavers at this ttme brims to mind the consistent work of the Portland team of 19S. which cluh won the Pacifi.-- Coast League fla? that year by the bieccst percentage In the history of the organization before or since. Incidentally this club seems stronger than Hie ISO na-gxegation for the reason that it possesses better pitch ers and a. sexnd baseman. In 190 11c Credie had no regular second baseman and played Charley Moore. Bill Waters, "i.ermany" Srhlmpff and Jerry Kane at that pvsltlon nt different ti-.-.cs. but none of thm proved steady players. . Of Ihem all T.arlev Moore, then a green ld Just cut of Columbia University, made the best showing and played In something like To games at that posi tion. Even Jimmy Mrllaic and Walter MoCrexlle played a few icimes st second Thasa. but despite the absence of a reg ular player the balance of that hard hitting aggregation carried the t-am to the top and It son the pennant by a perrentace of .;57, having cinched tho f:c tf-re taking the final trip to Cal ifornia. The Hearers of 111 have one of tlin insist rrowslslng men who ever played on the Oast at second base. In the person of Fill Reisers, and Peckinpaugh Is as food, a player as was Bill Swevner. now with the Boston Nationals. Tommy Fhee'ian can Justly be classed with Jud Smith. Portland's third baseman of lono, while Pt!l Raprs Is the peer of Pete Lis ter at first base In" every depsrtment. IJster was a great f'eMer, but a poor Mttr. while ttapps Is not only as good a fielder as Lister, but Is a batsman of the reliable type. In 19 Porticnu had Mike Mitchell. Jimmy Mcllale and Walter McCredle In the outfield, and this year Artie Krue ger. Buddy Ryan and Chet Chadbonrne are fully the equals of that great trio.

High school and preparatory school athletes of all Oregon are awaiting with eagerness the coming of Friday and Saturday of this week, and with these days the holding of tha All-Oregon Interscholastlo track and field meet at the University of Oregon. Eu gene. Schools In ail sections of the state are to be represented, and the Portland delegation probably will be from Lincoln. Jeferson and Washington High Schools.. This will be the first All-Oreg-on In terscholastlo meet to ba held by the State University. It Is to be regretted that the meets arranged for the "prep" athletes by the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College should come the week-ends following- each other. Heretofore It has been the Oregon Agricultural College that has held the all-state interscholastic meets. It was not until the Oregon Agricultural Col lege had set Its date for a meet that the University of Oregon made Its an nouncement of the Interscholastlc meet. It Is as yet problematical whether the academies of Portland will be repre sented at the University of Oregon meet. It Is probable that Waahington will attend the state varsity meet and also go a week later to tha Oregon Agricultural College meet. Lincoln and Jefferson High Schools will send six men toCugene. It Is probable they will not be represented at Corvallls. The personnel of the Washington and Lincoln track squads has not been de cided. Jefferson will deputise Captain Blbee. Catterlln, Chatterton. Sharp. Cox and Iay to wear its colors. The Lin coln men are being coached by Henry Meier, a Lincoln alumnus and an under graduate at the University of Wash ington. Meier was a member of the Multnomah Club relay team that won the half-mile relay at the recent Co lumbia University Indoor meet. The coming week-end will be an eventful one at the. University of Ore gon. In addition to the All-Oregon In terscholastic meet. It will be Junior week-end. snd besides the University of Washington will meet the University of Oregon at tennis. Several enter tainment functions are being planned for the flatting athletes. Announcement has been made by the University of Oregon that the oval upon which the boys will run has been im proved. Twenty-eight schools and academies will be represented at this week's meet. . Wisconsin Defeats Belolt on Track. MADISON. is., Msy .

Instructor O'Connell has been drilling the boys nightly for several weeks and they are fast getting Into tournament condition. Multnomah's strongest di vision at present seems to be the light weight class, eight wrestlers being en tered In that division. Four men are entered In the 168-pound class and an equal number In the heavyweight di vision. Classes Are Seven.

VERY -ACTIVE San Francisco Longing for Something Really Ex citing Now. PROSPECT IS NOT BRIGHT Recent Pugilistic .Encounters Are Not of Classy Kind and Fall to Arouse Interest Wolgast Oom lng for Tame Bout. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAX FRANCISCO. May 6. (Special.) San Francisco Is looking and longing for something In the boxing llnavthat will be of championship class and, at tho same time, furnish an Interesting bout. The last few matches have been exceedingly disappointing. Anton La Grave, as you know, was absolutely no match for Ad Wolgast and thatbout of a month ago was a farce, pure and simple. The last-puglllstio effort, the clash between Sammy Smith, of Philadelphia, and Johnny McCarthy, of San Fran cisco, was almost as disappointing, al though to tell the truth, there was far more action. Smith came to San Fran cisco with a record as long as your arm and was heralded as one of the boys who beat Knockout Brown. He didn't look to be very much in the gym nasium, but there came to hand letters from Tad and Bob Edgren saying that he was a sure winner. The wise clique went to him with a rush. They scared all of the McCarthy money out of sight and the price went to 10 to 6. In the ring, Sammy did very well with a straight left for about nine rounds. Then McCarthy stepped in with some stomach punches and in the 11th and 16th rounds had Smith stand ing up against the ropes with his hands hanging at his sides. It looked a knockout victory for the San Fran cisco boy, but, in the exciting moments, the local boy lost his head and swung wildly and without setting himself for a telling punch. In the 17th, the Phlla delphlan made a game come-back and stood McCarthy off sufficiently to se cure a draw. There was a holler on the part of Mc Carthy's friends that he should have had the decision, but the verdict ren dered by Referee Benny Selig seemed to be fair enough.- Both boys axe hope lessly out of the race so far as the championship is concerned. They sim ply haven't got enough class to figure anywhere. They were willing enough but didn't know how. The fights drew hnnt xaEno. which, was Eood enough in view of the class or rather lack of class that was provided by JJm Griffin, who had an ordinary show ana aa miffed lt Smith wasn't long in starting back for home. He explained that he had soma engagements that would require his presence in Philadelphia. The chance are, however, that he appre ciated after the unmerciful scoring he received at the hands of many of the newspaper critics, he wouldn't stand much chance and decided to beat it while tha walking was good. At that, there came an offer from Tom McCarey for a return fight in Los Angeles between the same lightweights this month. The offer was turned down by Smith. , , , Jimmy Carroll, however, has decided to remain at home for a time. The game will naturally be quiet during the Summer months in New York, and Car roll will likely have a chance along the Coast. He is a good boy at 122 pounls and puts up an interesting and aggres sive match. Ad Wolgast ought to be here within a few days. He headed for Los An geles from the East in order to find out what they intended doing about that trial and then he will come to San Francisco to go into training for Frankle Burns. Since the match with Burns is set for, May 27 and ' Wolgast does not care for more than two weeks of hard training, he has plenty 'of time before he hits the Seal Rock House, where ha usually does his stunts. Frankle Burns is expected back from Boyes Springs within another week and will do his plugging at Al White's re sort In Oakland. Public opinion, has switched since Wolgast beat Hogan and the champion will be a strong favorite over Burns on that account. It ought to be a good bout to watch, although on form, Burns can hardly figure to win. I see that New" York reports spealc of the possibility of Abe Attell retir ing from the ring. It Is said that his physicians have told him that the bones he broke in a recent battle with New York Frankle Burns will not heal rapidly and that he must quit for a year. Attell Is 28 years of age and probably shrewd enough to realize that If he stays out of the game for a year he will be out of it for keeps. This makes it quite possible that At tell will retire, although the Jewish lad doesn't like to give up anything without a struggle. If he could dis pose of the title for a cash transaction it would be Just what he would like, but that is something out of his power. Whatever they may say of Attell and the way he has stalled in certain of his matches, he has boen one grand little scrapper and, when trying, hard to whip. Jim Barry, who fought with Gunboat Smith last Wednesday night in Oak land, has plenty of matches In sight. He has been offered a six-round en gagement with Jack Johnson before Philadelphia Jack O'Brien's club in the East and is also considering a match with the winner of the Kaufmann Flynn bout in Kansas City. Eddie Dennis, the San Francisco feather-weight whose prospective match with Frankle Conley had to be called off. may sign articles to fight Young Rivers In Los Angeles. Young Rivers, from ,all that can be learned, is one tough obstacle for the 122-pound boys. At the same time. Dennis ap preciates what a victory would mean to him and is quite willing to take a chance. He regrets the fact that he wouldn't get on with Conley, for that would have brought him mighty close to the championship, or as close as it would be possible to jump without beat ing Abe Attell himself. I Just had word about Jack Lester, Tommy Burns' white'hope, who has re cently arrived in Australia. Lester had a tough trip, according to reports. He was sick most of . the trip and at the first opportunity cabled that the match must be postponed for a full month after his arrival. The news paper boys have it doped out that the fight with Bill Lang will take place about tho middle of May, so that we should be getting word very shortly as to how It turned out. They say that Bill Lang, who is still a prime favorite, is very confident of being able to whip Lester. One-Bound Hogan has not yet etajrt- ea lor Dan rTBacisca reruia io exploded "phenom" is not sure of the reception that will be accorded him and wants to wait until the recentness of his defeat has blown over.
