The seventh annual Pacific North
rest Association championship boxing
and wrestling tournament, scheduled
for presentation at the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic (.'tub. Portland on
Tnursday and Friday nights of this
week. Is not to be a one-club affair
aiiclLar to th meet of last year, but
promises to result In an even distribu
tion of championships throughout the
Northwest.
Last year the tourney was staged at
Spokane, and the large entry list of
tn Kalis City club, combined with a
poorly-balanced outside representation,
save the double trUngie lads a monop
oly on several divisions, while at least
two ste'lar performers were adequate
to overcome prominent rival opposition.
The combination resulted In unequal
allotment of gold medals with th
home taient overwhelmingly In the as

But this year conditions are differ

The Portland Cubs will play Esta

Craft Is Said to Rival the Best
Products at Recent Xew York
Show; Speed Will Be 3 0
SClles an Hour.
With the. completion of C. V. Cooper's
Charniaiee. a masterpiece of the boat
builder's art will be added to the con
stantly growing fleet of the Portland
Motor Boat Club. Many lovers of the
water craft who have had a glimpse
of the beautiful boat declare that there
Is not a better one on the Pacific Coast,
while others who were at the recent
Boat Show at New York, say that there
was not a better finished boat at that
show.
The boat will be 36 feet over all and
six feet wide. Its main draft will be
two feet 6 inches, which Is the depth
of the propeller. The hull proper will
draw 11 inches at the bow and one Inch
at the stern when the boat is at rest.
Tho power plant Is a Van Blerck
eight cylinder engine which will devel
op about 100 horse power. The engine
was calculated to turn up 150, but ow
ing to the Klse of the boat and the
size of the propeller the maximum num
ber of revolutions can not be utilized.
However, the boat will make about 28
or JO miles when under full head.
With the exception of the engine the
craft is truly an Oregon boat, for the
hull Is built of Oregon fir, which many
or tne former believers in foreign tim-
brs now declare to be better than any
of the other woods for boat building.
The deck is of oak and the Inside of
mahogany. The outside of the hull
is all varnished with the exception of
the part below tho water line which Is
bronzed.
The deck is fitted and polished like
a piano all the screw holes being filled
with oak. Inside and out the fln'sh
is just as perfect.
An item of Interest, more or less, is
that by calculation a few over 42.000
screws were used in its construction.
The boat will cost about J5000, when
all ready to run with the. full equip
ment of extras such as carpets, cush-
ons and lights.
The water automobile includes all the
atest wrinkles known to water men.
and erythlng is so arranged that tho
whole will bo controlled by a wheel
resembling in every part that of an
automobile. Tho engine Is of the self
starter type, compressed air being let
nto the cylinders until the spark picks
up engine.
On the bulkhead in front of the
river's neat will be all the little nickel
pplianccs usually found in the auto.
. speedometer attached to the shaft
will tell tho mariner everything he
wishes to know in connection with the
running of the boat.
The engine compartments will be
covered when the boat is running:, as
tho engineer has absolutely everything
e needs to watch in connection with
the engine in front of him on the bulk
head. The exhaust gas will be let Into
large tank and from there to two
large underwater openings, which will
make the boat as silent as an electric
launch.
The engine compartment and the hull
nder the flooring will be thoroughly
ventilated. If by chance any stray
gasoline gets Into the space beneath
the floor the vapors will be carried
out immediately and explosions and
res from these gases will be an im
possibility in this boat.
Fuel will be carried in two large
tanks, one filling being about 100 gal
lons. One tank will be in the rear and
the other in the bow, but by pressure
ystems the oil in the stern can be
brought into the forward tank with
the opening of a valve.
PORTLAND TEAM 15
OOPED AS FOURTH
San Francisco to Win Pennant
for 1912, According to
Sporting Writer's Slate.
TOSS UP; MIGHT BE OAKS
Latter, HovreTer, Believed to Have
Been Playing Over Their Heads
and to Be on AVay Back
With Other Clubs.
BT HARRY B. SMITH.
. SAN FRANCISCO. May 4. (Special.)
: This is how th teams of the Pacific
Coast League look to line up when
the pennant race Is finished:
Pennant winner San Francisco.
Runner-up Oakland.
Third Vernon.
Fourth Portland.
Fifth Los Angeles.
Sixth Sacramento.
With tho Coast League pennant race
for 1912 a little more than a month
old, and all of the clubs having passed
in review, the task of naming the
prospective pennant winner is even
more difficult than was apparently tho
case after the Oaks had started to !
make a runaway race. Kven today it
may look foolish, perhaps, to predict any
other team than the Oakland aggrega
tion as the winner, but baseball races
are uncertain at best, and it may be
the always unexpected "slump" that
will put one or the other team out of
the running just when conditions
would otherwise look the best.
San Francisco and Onka a ToMs-t'p.
To the writer, who has watched all
six clubs as carefully as possible, it
appears to bo more or less a toss-up
as between San Francisco and Oak
land. Frankly, It would occasion no
surprise to see either of these two
clubs win out in the final struggle,
and every baseball fan knows that
something now unforeseen might turn
the scale to one club or the other.
After the rather weak work of the
Oaks during their practice season, it
seems to be the judgment of the base
ball writers over the circuit that the
Commuters were playing above their
heads and would soon be back with
the other clubs. To a limited extent
this belief has been borne out. but not
to the extent that the prognostlcators
would wish. The Oaks are continuing
to capture series, and as there is notli
lng like success to keep a team -going
right, the Oaks are going to be a hard
team to stop.
Commuters Better Thin Year.
Taking them as a whole, the Com
muters have Improved considerably
over 1911. In pitchers they have ap
parently helped themselves to a con
siderable extent. Abies, naturally, is
their mainstay, but Gregory is going
well, and back of these two cracks
there are several reliable men.
The infield also is stronger. Sharps
may have been hitting above his gait.
but lie is a faster fielding first sacker
than was John Tiedeman or anj- first
baseman the Oaks have had recently.
The I.eard-Cook combination. I think,
outshines Cutshaw and Wares of last
season, although this point will HUely
be disputed. Ball players who are ob
serving say Cutshaw and Wares, par
ticularly the latter, were not certain
in handling thrown balls, and that this
was! a weakness the balance of the
team always had to fear. Many a game
last year was tossed away by the er
ratic, if sometimes brjlliant, Clyde
Wares.
At third base, Gus Hetling is a fair
enough man, although by no means the
pick of the league.
Outfield Is Strong.
So far as the outfield Is concerned,
there are not many better combina
tions than Hoffman, Zacher and Bert
Coy. Zacher is the class of the trio,
both because of his hitting and his
fielding, but Hoffman is a heady ball
player and Coy Is stinging the ball.
It Is quite true this team may not
look as good once it commences to lose,
but they are experienced heads and I
doubt if they allow a few reverses to
bowl them over.
In spite of some of the disappointed
home fans who have labeled the Seals
a "newspaper" team, because they did
not come up to the praise that was ac
corded them, it looks aa If San Fran
cisco will be very much of a factor in
the race.
Danny Long has a good team gath
ered together and If the boys don't
make the showing that their strength
would indicate it will be by reason of
other factors that may enter Into the
calculations.
To start with, the Peals look to have
a splendid trio of pitchers in Henley.
Frank Miller and Jess Baker. Mc
Corey, of whom we have seen but little,
promises well and with four such men
the local team will have a good start in
the race.
evc Life In Club.
The new infielders, Roy Corhan. Joe
Altman and Joe Gedeon, have injected
life into the club and Jackson is a
rattling good initial sacker. especially
from the standpoint of inside bull, al
though his lack of hitting has proved
a disappointment. Many of the fans
have expressed a desire to see McArdla
perform permanently at first base and
It might not be a bad scheme to try out,
although with a winning club, the ex
periment would be one no manager
would undertake.
Gedeon Is a natural ballplayer with
an ability to cover a world of territory,
and what he will be able to do after a
year's schooling at inside baseball is
not easy to imagine.
The outfield is notably improved,
both as regards batting and speed. Raf
tery is not only a good fielder and
hard hitter, but a marvel on the bases.
Hartley is hitting more up to his usual
notch, while there is either Powell or
Mclver for choice in right. Personally
I would use Powell, since Mclver Is in
a slump with the bat.
Tho team plays good baseball, and
while the club has not been hitting in
the pinches, it ought to average up. It
is unquestionably a team to be reckoned
with and should be fighting all the year
for that elusive honor the pennant.
Portland An Uncertainty.
It may be out of place to drop last
year's pennant winners below the Ver
non Tigers, but that is how they look
at this time. Portland is more or less
of an uncertainty, because McCredle is
quite liable at any time to strengthen
his club by recruits from Cleveland.
Based on his team as it stands today,
and the McCredies will be bothered to
keep up with the first dU'ision. It
has been said that some of the Beavers
are far from satisfied with their treat
ment and that they are not playing
the ball of which they are capable. Pos
sibly that is so. and. if true, it will
explain in a large measure the lowly
position of the Oregonlans.
Further, and it is an important point,
the Beavers have been losing steadily-
for five weeks and they have a lot of
ground to make up.
ffogan'R Team Not Fast.
Happy Hogan hasn't a fast team in
his Tigers, but one and all his men are
sluggers and they proved last year
what a team of good stickers can ac
complish. The club is likely to be dan
gerous at any stage of the race and
may bowl over any contender if noth
ing more. We hardly saw the full
strength of the team, especially the
first part of the week they were here.
Also, Johnny Kane was out of tli
line-up. and Johnny Kane is about 50
per cent of the Vernon club, to my way
of thinking.
Frankr Dillon has the making of a
good team. He has bettered his team,
as far as the infield is concerned, and
has some good pitching material. It
is a question whether he can get Ills
machine to working in time to be of
any great advantage to him so far
as the present year is concerned, and
chiefly. It would look that he is build
ing for 1913.
Perhaps Patsy O Rourke will do more
with the Senators than we expect, but
they look slated for the second division,
at least from their present style of
play. There are some good individual
ball players, but their fielding is slov
enly and even with stickers you must
be able to hold down the runs the other
team makes.
CEXTRALIA DEFEATS CHEHALIS.
State league Season Opens With
I sua I Parade and Speeches.
CHEHALTS, Wash.. May 4. (Special.)
Centralia won Friday's opening game
In the State Leaguo by a score of 6
to 2. Muddy grounds that made field
ing difficult and wild throws by local
players accounted for the varied score,
which stood 2 to 0 in favor of the locals
up to the fourth inning, when Centra
lia put over three runs. This was re
peated in the seventh. Callahan, for
Centralia, and Archer for Chehalis, were
in the box. Chehalis made nine hits
and Centralia seven.
Preceding the game there was a pa
rade headed by the State Training
School band. Mayor Thompson, of Cen
tralia delivered an address just be

wild. Despite the showers that pre
vailed all forenoon and the threatening
