THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 13, 1913. COLIS BEATEN BY CHICAGO NEGROES American Giants Win, 6 to 5, but Are Outbatted by Williams' Men. FIVE ERRORS ARE COSTLY Seventh - Inning Rally by Class B Club Comes Within One Run of Tying Score Team Looks Good to Portland Fans. The American Giants. Chicago's negro team of major league caliber, defeated the Portland Colts yesterday afternoon. but have Colt mtscues rather than Giant twirling and batting prowess to thank for the victory before 3500 peo ple at Portland's Initial professional dlnmond struggle of 1911. The Colts erred nve times. This medley of bobbles, concentrated at criti cal moments, enabled the black chaps, who took four In five games from the Beavers, to register a victory In the nrst tussle of the two-game series with the Northwestern Leaguers. The Colts scored nine hits against seven for the tourists, and In addition hammered the ball with such gusto that a seventh Inning rally drove the gigantic Gate wood from the mound, forced Johnson, a spitbull artist. Into the breach, and Lindsay out on the warming-up line. Nick Williams' team looks good. They displayed a thinking ability far superior to the 112 squad, and for a team labelled "sensational fielder but weak batter" showed a nice aptitude at hitting the ball. Kid Mohler. one of the shining lights of the game, and the man who makes that Colt Intleid look superlatively good, might have sent the same into extra Innings or paved the way for victory had he taken a chance in the seventh inning. Williams used 13 men In the game. Gtrot pitched for Ave innings, during which time six runs and six hits were scored. Carl Mays allowed only one hit in the remaining five periods. Ue has a fine assortment. Including under hand and overhand curves and nice speed, Gnlgni replaced Williams at first. Culler went to second snd Bllsr relieved Harris during the game. For the negroes Johnson replaced Vlatewood In the seventh inning. The game today starts at 2 SO o'clock. The score: Chicago Giants I Portland ah. h. no. a! ab. h. no. a.

Umpires Kftdinger and Casey. Notes of the Game. Jerry KUdinger. Fielder Jones' new umpire, worked behind the plate In yes terday's game, and while the excited crowd hooted at several of his oeclsions, the lanky chap made good. He. as well as the other umpires, will use the one arm system of indicating strikes, as was In vogue in the circuit last year. In addition to a record crowd of negro rooters snd a surprising num ber of Portland fans at the game nearly 100 soldiers were over from Vancouver to see the Glnnts In action. The Giants experienced no trouble in beating the soldiers at Vancouver last week. They've started to rag at Nick Wll lisma already. After driving out two hits some of the fans welcomed the Injection of Gulgnl Into the fray at first base. Gulgnl scored a run vith a long sacrifice fly to center the first time up. but after that his stlckwork was weak. However, he handles him self like a real player, and they say he plays any position in the tnneld or outnekl with equal facility. The Colts hsd a chance to score In the second Inning when men were on second and third with no outs. Harris grounded out and Glrvt and Bancroft fanned. Pat Eastley figures In the box score aa a pinch hitter In the ninth Inning, replacing Cnllen. The best Pat conld do was to send a grounder to the pitcher, and was caught off his stride In so doing. W. W. Metsger. the nfy business manager, reported that the gate re ceipts showed 3:00 paid admissions. The Intleid looked fine and the players report that it Is a wonderful improve ment over last year. An explosion of an Instantaneous gas t.ratcr lfin one of the clubhouses at VauKhnSvireet Park a few minutes after the crowd had vacated the grand stand and ble.vhers vesterday after noon slightly injured T?d Kren'hler. the ground tender.

OREGOX BOYS TRY FOR TEAM Eight Would) Gain Places on Regina Baseball Aggregation. ALBANY. Or, April li. .Special.) Eight of the II men who have thus far reported to Manager Hulen here to try out with the Reglna team, of the Western Canada League, are Oregon boys, and several of them have played at different times with semi-professional teams In Portland. Four of them hall from Roseburg and one each trom Eugene, Grants Pass, Cottage Grove and CreswelL - Two of the boys who came to Join the1 team from Roseburg are really Portland boys, however, as they were reared in that city. They are Art and Jack Hargraves, brothers. Art Har graves is one of the team's pitching staff and his brother Is playing short stop. Both learned the game in Port land and both played with the Gresbam team in the old Tri-Clty League. Besides Art Hargraves, Hulen has three pitchers here. They are John F. Irwin, D. W. Rankin and S. Bier. Irwin is an Oakland, Cal., boy. He played several years at the Oakland High School, being captain of the team two years, and also played at the Uni versity of California. During the past few seasons he has played semi-professional ball, managing teams at Glendale and Fort ivlamath, besides playing at Klamath Falls and other 1 places in Oregon and California. Rankin's home is at Creswell. Bier has been in organized ball five years in various leagues In Ohio and West Virginia. Bier's home, Is now in Eu gene, his father having moved thare recently. Other men working out as catchers are Lyle Gray, of Roseburg. and. Ai Baker, of Oakland, Cal. Aside from Jack Hargraves, only two other In fielders have thus far reported.

Be STANLEY IS SECOND CHOICE Xo Changes to Be Made in Team Until Squad Reaches Portland. McCredle Secures Waivers on Several Recruits. SAN FRANCISCO, April 12. (Spe- claL) Walter McCredle will likely use Harry Krause in his opening game in Portland next Tuesday against the Los Angeles club, although he Isn't dead sure and said today that be might possibly work Stanley. The chances are more In favor of Krause, however. since there are so many left-handed hitters that McCredle believes his club will be favored by the southpaw on the mound. The question will not be fully settled until the team arrives at home Tues day morning, because McCredle ha: abandoned the scheme he put through one season of sending the pitcher scheduled to work the opening day home a day or so in advance. Nothing doing, in that line," said the Beaver leader. "I sent Jess Gar' rett home In advance of the club one season and' they knocked the stuffing out of him. The boys will all go up on the same train. No changes will be made in the team until after the entire squad reaches Portland, because Walter wants to talk with Nick Williams and find out Just what men are needed. He has secured waivers on several of his recruits, but doesn't care to announce their names at present. The lineup In Portland will be the same as here. FiBher will probably catch with Krueger In center field. Sporting Sparks N FTFTT playing days Charles Deal, Detroit team, advanced from a sand' lotter to a major leaguer, purchased for $2500.

Johnson went to Weiser for the year, was turned down by Frank Dillon, of Los Angeles, who wouldn't let the big chap put on suit, and finally went to Washington to become a major league sensation. m m What's the great old game coming toT Washington will carry two Cuban outfielders around as drawing cards, and Jim Thorpe is due for at least one swing around the circuit with the Giants. Baseball is growing in pop ularity yearly, but the circus stuff is certain to hurt. Piddington, a Wisconsin hurler, has robbed himself of a chance to achieve fame on the diamond because of his prejudice against a former owner. Picked as a great left-hander and bought by the Cardinals, this chap has refused to report for four years. He hates his former clubowner so vene- monsly that he will not see him make a dime off the transaction. R. J. MacKenzie, the millionaire Canadian horseman, will give a $2J,- 000 stake at Pleasanton, Cal., In 1815, according to information from San Francisco.

PITCHERS SHOWING CLASS Senators Appear About Ready to Be Scratched From List as Con tenders, With Seals Going Bad ly; Venice) Crippled at Start. BY ROSOOS! FAWCETT. "Look out for the Beavers," rattled Harry B. Smith's ancient typewriter in San Francisco the other day. after th Chronicle expert had watched the Bea vers in action for nearly two weeks. And, looking out for the Beavers Is what the five other Coast clubs are busily engrossed in doing, for the Mc Credleites have, somehow, created the Impression that they are to hnish one two in the 1913 race. Prior to April Fool day Portland, Venice and Sacramento appeared to have the strongest teams. Sacramento had been touted as pos sessing the most formidable pitching corps in the league, but the Senators, from all appearances, can be scratched off the list of contenders. Venice has gotten off to a rather poorer start than expected, while the Oaks and Angels appear to be very strong. Kane s and Brashear's injuries have hurt Venice. ' Howard Struggling; for Bleu. At San Francisco Del Howard is struggling to secure some new play erst but unless he gets a hurry on him self the Seals will be hopelessly ou of the race. Portland seems to have, first of all, the class of the pitchers. This state ment. first isssued two months ago, seems to need no qualifications in light of the acid tests of the first two series. Mac also has a good hitting club and as much speed as the best of them. All the Portland dingers appear to bs In prime condition, thanks to V isa 11a climate, and the Seal and Oak scores against the Beavers have been the lowest and closest in the league. Two two-hit games, one three-hit and two five-hit encounters right off the reel is pretty good performing on the pitching hill. If the nlngers keep 4ip their present stride the Beavers can not help but keep near the ceiling. Intleid Is) Rated High. After eulogizing the Beavers' pitch ers. Smith thus complimented the rest of McCredle s structure: The Beavers also present a sturdy outfield and a stronger infield than was expected. They all said of McCormick that be couldn t hit the ball, but he has been hitting all the time in the pinches since the opening of the sea son. Lindsay at third and Rodgers at second never played a better fielding game In their lives. Of the two Lind. say seems to be the most improved, ai though you would go a long ways to find a better second-sacker. 'Derrick at first hasn't been doing anything of a surprising nature, but he Is a steady workman. All told. He Credle looks to have collected a real baseball club." The Beavers will reach home early Tuesday morning and will likely un limber for 45 minutes at the park, so as' to accustom the players to the new surroundings. Los Angeles will ar rive on the Sacramento train an hour after McCredle unpacks, but the An gels will not do any work until before the game, which is scheduled to begin at 3:1b o'clock. If the weather is good Tuesday the turnstiles should show a record crowd. Close to 14,000 is the estimate of the baseball people. U GRANDE FANS HOPE FOLEY- EXPECTED TO TtrRX OUT WIXXIXG TEAM.
