Monday's op'nlnc day tally was 4 to i. Lefrem allowed seven blnrcles In the first trams but only six today. Henderson allowed nine. A. jtUnre over the box score mltcht seem to indicate that Henderson, per milting nine hits, was In mediocre form and deserved to lose. In a measure, of course. Benny was responsible, for he permitted four hits to filter through the Infield In one Inning, ttre fourth, which cost two runs. But a pitcher can hardly be expected to shut his opponents out. Harkness did the other day but he pitched, prob ably, the best game of his career. In ability to hit In the pinches had aa much to do with the Beavers' defeat today as Henderson's generosity. On four or five different occasions a hit would have tied the score but the Beav ers were not In the whanging; mood. hadbvorne Scares First. Chadbourne scored first In the third inning- when Pare booted Lindsay's (rounder. Chad, had been sacrificed to second by Captain Rodders after a walk. L'p to this time and until two men went the innocuous desuetude route in the fourth. Henderson was fllngrtnz magnificently.. And then a string snapped and spoiled the harmony. Heltmuller singled through second; Dillon to left field. Metier through second, scorlntt Heiny, and Lober past short, scoring Dillon. Metzg-r was caught at third but two runs had crossed. A triple by Boles In the fifth fol lowed by Daley's double Into left, also with the two men down, gave the Angels their third, final and winning tally. The Beavers tried bravely to circum vent their fourth defeat of the week. In fact, victory seemed almost on hand shaking terms In the sixth frame but rne was the best the Portlands could transact. Hare! Lark Ftarairva, Tew. Hard luck. too. figured In the details of this critical Inning. For with one man scored and first and third popu lated, wtth only one out. Doane slashed at Page, who pulled the pill down with one hand and shot to first for a double, nabbing McDowell and retiring the side, Rodgers brought In the second tally In a walk, a lift to second on Lind-jry's out. a sensational steal of third and a single by Rapps Into left.

HISTORIC GAME RETOLD KD LYOXS SAYS CONTEST IX I8S1 XEVER EQCALKD. . Portland Team Won Championship Despite Imported Players ln Ranks fit Stars." Baseball Is one of Portland's old est sports. Oldtlmers like to dwell upon the good old days of tho pio neers, way back In the '70s. when teams played for glory, side bets and the uncertain riches of the passed hat. But In 1111 a new period In Portland baseball history waa born, the "semi-professional." battling for gate receipts, instead of the hat of ferings, replacing the "amateur." From then on the game progressed by easy stages to tho present day ot two "big- . 111,.,,.,..,1,.1ITTT--------,''"'" ' . I REMARKABLE SNAPSHOT OF CIOSE league" clubs, and local circuits galore. Ed Lyon, present manager of the North Pacific Terminal Company, was responsible for the Introduction of the "semi-pro" era. organising the Port land team and Inaugurating the "gate receipts" plan of diamond procedure. In 1811. the Stars, of which Willis Dunlway waa the mound phenom, monopolised the Class A baseball sit uation, so In 1111 Mr. Lyon, using the surplus material, placed the Portland nine on the diamond. These aggrega tion Indulged In a series of seven games for the Portland championship. Strenuous conflicts have been waged on Portland fields since 1183, but the old timers swear that the city tl.tle series of that year established a high water mark for enthusiasm which has never been equaled, even in the fag end of an exciting Coast League con flict. The Stars Imported a battery from San Francisco for several games, but Mr. Lyon reports that his team won the championship. It was In 1181 that Portland came in touch with Seattle In a baseball way. Before that the outside games were played with near-by Oregon and RECEIV1NG SUCCESSOR OF "RED" KUHN AS HE APPEARS IN FIGHTING TOGS. " t. v.V 1x3.1 : . -f- - x V 1 -. - . .

He played first base for a time, -then switched to other Infield berths, and. finally landed in the out field, where his teammates worked the rAay on the long hits. His hitting made him a valuable player after his weak arm reduced his fielding to the hopeless stage. - A 4 f AT OPF-NING GAME AT TPS ANGELES 1 'kJ X ' XT'--: CLUBS ARE IN FOR PROSPEROUS YEAR That Is the Way It Looks to Harry B. Smith After Opening Game. BASEBALL HAS "ARRIVED" San Francisco Fans Are as Yet Di ' vlded on Slerlts of Seals Danny Long Probably Will Farm Out Howard Mundorff. BY HARRY B. SMITH. t SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. (Special.) Granting that the clubs run a fairly even race, this ought to be the biggest year financially that the Coast League has ever witnessed. Now. I don't sup pose that the fans are so mu6h inter ested in money talk as they are in the future welfare of the clubs they are pulling for. but the opening games all were so remarkable from the attend ance standpoint that thevsubject Is one worthy of a little reflection. Take San Francisco, for instance. It's something of which the writer can speak. Of course, this city has been a good baseball town for years, but I never saw such spontaneity when it came to turning out for that opening game as was exhibited last Tuesday af ternoon. There wasn't so much of an automo bile parade, for San Francisco fans are not yet given to turning out In that sort of a fashion, but everybody and his wife or sister or sweetheart was on hand long before the gong was pulled for the game to begin. Grounds Chock Full. Seats had been reserved for days In advance and by 1 'o'clock you couldn't buy a grandstand coupon. The bleach er sections had been enlarged and It was necessary to stretch ropes around tha outfield In order to accommodate the overflow meeting and the stand ups. Something like 11.000 paid for their admissions and it is estimated that there were at least IB, 000 persons with in the enclosure. Counting those on housetops and In the vicinity and 17,000 wouldn't be a bad guess. And in addition to all that, there was a wide interest all over town. Bulle tin boards of the various newspapers accounted for several thousand more and those who couldn't either go to the game or watch the bulletin service called up over the telephone. The Chronicle telephone operator answered something like 1000 telephone queries for Information on the various games. That gives you an Inkling of the num ber of people who were Interested. Baseball Has Arrived. On top of that, two of the morning papers played their baseball Introduc tions on the first page and another started a supplement with baseball. All of which goes to show that baseball has arrived. And you spell It with caps. The great American game which has been a success in the past two years looks to be a gold mine for the men who are Interested and don't mind add ing that they are entitled to what comes to them. They risked their coin and they have won out. that's all. The San Francisco and Oakland clubs had two openings this week. The other opening was on Thursday, when tho Oaks played their first game home In Freeman's Park. The Oakland Chamber of Commerce handled the opening across the bay and gave the boys a spread at the noon hour, following it Aip with the regulation automobile pa rade and brass band concert. So, you money-lovers, two opening days with a big Sunday ought to hold the owners of these clubs for a time at least. Faun Are Divided, Local fans are divided as to the mer its of the San Francisco team and what th Seals will be able to accomplish. At this writing,' we have seen three games and we are absolutely sure of one thing the boys will fight it out j ,LWr T 1 ' .-,.. "ii. i from start to finish. They don't know what it is to give up, as witness the battle they put up in the opener. Tho outfield has some hitting talent. Chick Hartley, who was losing balls down In Paso Robles, has been a dis appointment in the hitting line but. judging from his previous records, he ought to round to. The other -two outfielders are great, simply great. And that goes for Tom Rafrety even more than for Otto Mc Iver. Rafrety has all of the speed he ever possessed when, once before, he was in the Coast League and looks to bo a brainier ball player. He is also "some slugger." Both of the outfielders mentioned have proved themselves possessed of great throwing arms and they are go ing to cut off many a run with a true throw to the plate, Corhan is possessed of all the speed that was claimed for him and is sting ing the ball far better than was ex pected. Jackson, the first sacker, hasn't made so very much of an impression, but he Is like others, hitting the ball fairly well, and that Is a great thing, I've found. In winning games. Mundorff To Be Fanned. It looks as if Mundorff would be farmed out for the season. Powell has about clinched the fifth place in the outfield and there is no room for Mun dorff. He is a likely player and Long Isn't going to have the slightest trouble in the world getting rid of him. Danny has been trying to fix up a deal for Bill Yohe to go to one of the Northwestern League clubs, but he likes the Texas infield sufficiently to keep a string attached so as to be able to pull him back In case he is needed. This means that Dutch Altman will be the other utility infielder alongside of Joe Gedeon, who, naturally, is rather green and stands in need of seasoning. President Baum hopes to be able to arrange his business to be present at the Portland opening. He will have settled his office affairs by that time and ought to be able to make the trip. So far the Coast League executive has made a good impression on the fans and I rather fancy that he will handle matters nicely and in more business like form than ever before. Some time since he announced that all ball players chased out of a game by an umpire would have a fine of 35 at tached Immediately and automatically. It hasn't altogether prevented kicking, but in the long run It ought to do away with those tlresomo wrangles on the ball field for which the dear public doesn't give a rap.

AQUATIC EVENT IN JUNE Decathlon Changed to Slay 19 ano Pentathlon AVill Be May 25 and 2 6 at San Francisco Field Tryouts May 18. Determined that Pacific Coast ath letes shall have the advantage of the longest possible training period to pre pare them for the Olympic tryouts, the dates of the competitions, with the sin gle exception of the track and field meet, will be postponed. This infor mation was received by T. Morris Dunne, of tho Pacific Northwest Asso ciation, this morning in a telegram from William Humphrey, of San Fran cisco, of the tryout committee. Instead of holding the swimming try outs May 11, as announced recently, the aquatic stars probably will not gather until early In June. Tho Decathlon has been changed from April 13 to May 1. while the Pentathlon, another all-round championship meet, scheduled for April 20 at the San Francisco stadium, will bf staged on May 25 and 26. The general track and field tryouts will be held on May 18 at Palo Alto, as previously an nounced. The demand has been general among the Coast athletes that they have the same opportunity to prepare for the Olympic games as the Easterners. Id practicallv every instance the Eastern tryouts will be held late in May or early in June. Under the original schedule this would give them a much longer training period and a complete list of marks to compete against. Portland interest, outside of the May 18 track and field programme, is cen tered In the swimming tryouts. Mult nomah Club expects to send one or two men to the gathering, while the North west may be represented by a squad of four or five swimmers. The following are the individual events for men arranged by the Swed ish Olympic committee: 11 meters (109.3 yards), free style; 400 meters (437.4 yards) free style; 1500 meters (1840 yards), free style: 100 meters (109.3 yards), back stroke; ZOO meters (218.7 yards), breast stroke; 400 meters (437.4 yards, breast stroke; high diving, plain, from heights of 5 and 10 meters boards; high diving, plain and variety com bined, from heights of 6 and 10 meters boards; spring board diving. Multnomah Club's track and field tryout preliminary to the Columbia University meet of Saturday night will be staged this morning. The workout will be a six-event programme open to the athletes of Portland lnterscholastic institutions, insuring a large represen tation by placing the mediocre men on a level with the Winged "M" cham pions. Dan Kelly, who aspires to play a "comeback" role in the broad Jump, has promised to be out for the meet, while Doollng, a new Multnomah half-mtler from the Olympic Club of San Fran cisco, will be a contestant. Captain Sam Bellah reports that all of the men picked for the Columbia meet will be in the abbreviated track regalia. The meet will start promptly at 11 o'clock, with Pete Grant starter.
