TITE SUNDAY OREGON xAy. PORTLAND, APK1L. gu, Atfia. 1 ZIMMERMAN HIGH IN BATTING LIST Lindsay Star of Portlanders for First Two Weeks of 1913 Season. OAKLAND MEN. LOW DOWN Koetner, Traded to Venice, Mike Good Start, and Carson, Taken In Exchange, Pitches Well but Plays In Hard Iuck. Zimmerman of San Francisco. Ten riant of Sacramento. Hosp and Hallo- ran of Vernon. Ellis. Maggart and Ivan Howard of Los Ang-eles and Lindsay of Portland were the batting stars of the first two weeks In the Coast League season of 1913. Oddly enough. Oakland, the team that stood at the top at the close of that stretch, did not boast of a single heavy average. Cook led his club with an average of .2X1. whereas a dosen mem bers of other teams topped .323. Gus Hetilng. winner of the Chalmers auto mobile last season, ranked second among the Oaks with .27. Elmer Koestner. the twirler traded to Venice by Portland, started off well with three consecutive wins. Koestner has a host of boosters here who will acclaim every victory the silent one balks up. Carson, who was secured in the trade, has been pitching excellent ball for the Beavers, but has bad hard lurk.

SCENES FROM THE OPENING tl7v"f -'rr '' ; ... ; - 1 ' ; , - JT ' - ; : X:rv&nt yyyjr 7yjzor, sYarv-'YarSZ RAIN HURTS MAJORS Big League Managers Lose $500,000 Through Weather. WASHINGTON START LUCKY Portland's Opening: Day Crowd Com pares Favorably With Those of Bis' Cities in American and Xational Circuit. Rain and polar weather cast quite a damper over the major league base ball openings this Spring. Just as the wreck of tbe Titanic over shadowed It in April of 1912. A statistician "has figured that the Inclement weather cost the various big league magnates in ex cess of $500,000. The American Association also suf fered a tremendous financial loss, except that it was snow that prevailed in the sister AA circuit. 1 Wasklagtaa Start Prosperous. Washington was one major league city which enjoyed a prosperous opener. The Senators, who are expected to make a good bid for the gonfalon, opened at home and President Wilson filched the first ball. Luckily for local enthusi asm, Washington won. The President, who Is a pood fan, shook hands with Clark Griffith and wished him luck on his long Journey. When Taft was President he was known as a hoodoo to the Senators, the team seldom winning when be was present. Judging from the first game, Wilson is not ths jinx his predecessor was. ' At New York a crowd of 10.000 braved a chilly afternoon, while .Cleve land fans, after a ona day's postpone ment, attended only in flock of 14,000. Cincinnati also suffered greatly al though 23.000 turned out for the first contest against the Pirates. Portland Comparlswa Good. . A comparison of the major league opening crowds with the remarkable outpouring in Portland on opening day last Tuesday, reflects creditably on the Orearon metropolis. Seventeen or eighteen thousand is some mob for a city of 376.000 Portland's estimated population and. at that, the threatening skies here and the Jamming at the turn, stiles probably kept 2000 fans away. "Curiously enough." said W. W. Mc Credle yesterday, "we have nevec had rain on an April opening day in Port land. In former years, when the Beavers opened at' home In May, we Invariably suffered from moisture." " Alrlte Wins First Game. ARLIE, Or.. April 19. (Special.) In the first ball game of the season here Arlie defeated the Buena Vista team by a score of 17 to five. Buena Vista led two to one until the seventh inning when errors were made.

ITRI-STATE LEAGUE TO OPEN TUESDAY Six Fast Teams in Circuit Are Expected to Furnish Lively Contest for Pennant. MANAGERS ARE CONFIDENT Baker and Xorth Yakima Are Clubs Veterans of Baseball Are at Helm and Strict Salary Limit Will Be Enforced. BT JAMES J. RICHARDSOX. BOISE, Idaho, April 19. (Special.) Next Tuesday will mark an epoch In baseball affairs in Southwestern Idaho, Eastern Oregon and Southern Washing ton, when the Western Trl-State League ushers in its 1913 season. With the addition of two new cities to the circuit, nothing but success looms up on the baseball horizon in this pros perous and well-balanced organization. Last season the circuit comprised Boise, Walla Walla, Pendleton and La Grande. Baker and North Yakima have been added to the ranks and they will both present a strong lineup. President Sweet, of the Western Tri State League, Is' enthusiastic in his pre dictions for a great season, both finan cially and as to the brand of ball to be played by the clubs. Las, year this league was in its infancy, but today it looms out as one of the strongest class D organizations in the country. . A salary limit of $1200 prevents the carrying of more than 13 men, but those 12 are all players of ability and the fans in this circuit are looking for ward to some corking good games. Baker Opens at Bolso. Boise meets Baker here in the open ing game. Dad Glmlin, who is at the helm in the Boise club, has gathered a most formidable organization and is confidence personified when it comes to talking about winning the pennant. Last year's club was considered a classy outfit, but the aggregation flying the Boise colors this season is believed to be a bit faster. Baker presents Con Harlow as the man of the hour. Harlow is an expe rienced ballplayer and should be able to gather a contingent of ball chasers that will do Baker credit. This is Ba ker's first debut in organized ball and the fans In that city are giving their team every bit of support needed. The Boosters' Club of Boise will turn out strong opening day and the fans are looking forward to the laregst turnout of automobiles and citizens in the history of Boise. A new grand been built on the old grounds and it is said to be the finest in any class D circuit. Present indications point to a most successful season in Boise, both from attendance and class of baseball. What Is expected to prove a big as set to the Western Tri-State League is the acquisition of Terry McKune as manager of the Pendleton club. Mc Kune Is one of the most popular play ers that ever donned a uniform and his many admirers on the Pacific Coast are wishing the little fellow all kinds of success in his debut as a manager. McKune Has "Claaay" Team. McKune has assembled a coterie of sphere-chasers that ought to hold their own with the other five clubs and un less something unforeseen should pre sent itself McKune should have Pendle ton close to the top of the percentage column September 7, when the season comes to a close. Another popular chap in this league who Is making his entry into the man agerial fold Is Carl King at La Grande. King finished last year with La Grande and out of one of the worst disorgan ized ball clubs he made a fighting or ganization which played major league ball under his guidance. King expects to be in the first division and reports have it that he has annexed a pennant winning aggregation for his city. Bade, at Walla Walla, and Engle. in North Yakima, will both present strong lineups. Engle is an ex-Northwestern Leaguo, heaver and is making his de but as-, manager. Pendletbn will open at Walla Walla and North Yakima and La Grande-will struggle for-supremacy at North Yakima. Several Portland youngsters are In the Western Trl-State League and their work will be watched with interest. McKune, Haworth, Bladen, Berger. Lind, Mensor and Lodell are among the Manager Engle says: "I have a good bunch of youngsters and will bo in the first division all the time. I am not winning any pennants yet, but North Yakima will have to be counted in the running all the way. We will carry four pitchers all through and I will play utility myself. I can go In and pitch a game if necessary and the four twirlers will be as good as there will be in the league. BEAR MAXAGEK TRIMS SQUAD Bade Says Walla Walla May Xot Win, but It .Will Be Xear Top. WALLA WALLA, Wash., April 19. (Special.) With the opening of the Western Tri-State League season but three days off.1 Manager August Bade has trimmed his squad to workable size and the men now in uniform will wear them for about three weeks. When the team takes the road three or four heads will be lopped off, but until then the youngsters will have a chance to show what they have. The men in the squad now are: Pitch ers. Leonard. Kelly, Garber, Snoddy, Laird and Jarstad: catchers. Brown (captain); first base, Sheeley; second base, Davis: shortstop, Lundstrom; third base. Childers; left field. Martini; center field, Harmon; right field, John son; utility men, Me,nsor (outfield). Bishop (Infield). Manager A. F. Bade is optimistic, though not predicting victory. He says: "Walla Walla has one of the strongest and best balanced teams in Its history. If we don't win the pennant we will be close to the top. The men are young and full of the fighting spirit that goes a long way toward success in baseball. The pitching staff looks good. The outfield is fast and on de fense the infield will compare with any infield in the league. Brown, as a maskman, has no equal and will put many runs across the plate with his stick work. I'm satisfied with the team In every department." BAKER MAXAGER IS CONFIDENT Harlow Has Strong Team to Open Season Against Boise. BAKER, Or., April 19. (Special.) Manager "Con" Harlow, of the Baker ball team, has the following men on his roster to open the season with Boise Tuesday; Harlow and Cress, catchers; Manring, Coleman, Peet and Ward, pitchers; Jensen, first base; Roben, second base; Murphy, shortstop; Harrod, third base; Dean, left field; West, center field, and O'Leary, right field. He will prob ably leave Mills, pitcher, and Dowllng, shortstop, at home for the first week. Coleman and Harlow will be the bat tery for the opening game. Manager Harlow is confident of his ability to grab the pennant, and says: "If all the teams stay within the sal ary limit, there is no doubt in my mind but what we will bring home the bacon. Of course, I cannot organize a Class T ball t'eam playing Class D ball and pit them against a town paying Class A salaries and expect to win my ratio of games, but I know I can win if all towns in the circuit are fair. I am well within the salary limit with some to spare. I have Jensen on first sack, and although unaccustomed to the position he is working out in ele gant form, and will redeem himself with his hard hitting. He is one of the hardest hitters in the league." LA GRAXDIS TEAM BAIiAXCED Manager King Predicts His .Men Will Be Winning Chib. LA GRANDE, Or., April 19. (Special.) "I can predict only winning baseball out of the gathering of ballplayers that today represents La Grande In the Western Tri-State." Such was the opin ion of Playing Manager Karl King when he left here Thursday night with 16 men for Milton and Prosser. where he plays exhibition games before the open ing next Tuesday at North Yakima. "We have several old heads to give the team advice and hold the young sters down in the pinches," continued the young manager. "There are young men anxious to make good to give plenty of pepper. Although La Grande was in the cellar last year, there is no excuse for not getting out this year, as far as I can see." President Pat Foley, the "cowboy president." Is with the manager in the Initial trip. The infield will be: Walters, first; Vahrenhorst, second; Naughter, short; Corbin, third; Peterson, catcher. Out fielders: Lind, Nadeau, Luttrell; pitch ers, Moeller, Jamison, Pugsley, Moun tain, Browning and Gootch. BUCKAROOS MUCH STROXGER Terry McKnne Is Pivot In Fast In field and Pitchers Axe Veterans. PENDLETON, Or., April 19. (Spe cial.) "Pendleton will enter the con test for the championship of the West; em Tri-State League this season with much brighter prospects than last year," said Business Manager Ritner, of the Buckaroos today.

MANAGEMENT HELD CHEAP Sacramento Club Expected to Be About Ready to Strike Stride and Go Rapidly to the Front in Coast League Contest. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, April 19. (Spe olal.) There is growling and murmur ing on the part of the baseball fans of San Francisco and the feeling partic ularly is directed at J. Cal Ewlng. I don't know that the bitterness is wpII directed or deserved, but am simply giving facts when it Is written that there Is a strong sentiment against the Seals and all because they can't, or don't, win games. In the present state of baseball on the Coast, and it seems to be stronger than ever. It Is quite likely that the crowds will not dimin ish, but It might easily cause the at tendance to fall off. Sentiment seemed to crystallize last Tuesday, when Flame Delhi pitched that one-sided game against tbe Oaks. Howard made a poor - move when ho insisted on keeping Delhi In the box after It was patent that he had abso lutely nothing on the ball. The story goes that Delhi himself asked to be kept in the box, but at the same time the management ought to have thought of the spectators. Fibs Walk: Oat of Park. There was such a demonstration that no few left the grounds. A fan In one of the bleacher sections stood up In his seat and announced that all tbe fans who disapproved of the club stand up and leave the grounds. A good crowd left with him and after that it was more or less of a procession, with the grandstand people keeping up their end. The argument against Ewing is based , on the theory that he doesn't seam to care to spend money for a club and once again I am simply stating the way the fans look at it. These people insist that other clubs in the Coast League have strengthened by the pur chase of new men, but that the Seals haven't done so. It is unfortunate, perhaps, that such a condition of affairs has arisen, but it is nevertheless true. The best that the San Francisco club can do under the circumstances is to make the best of the situation and attempt to secure whatever men are available. Wolves Not Out of Race. All the reports that come to hand concerning the Sacramento club are laudatory and It Is said that Harry Wolverton Is going to put up a. harder fight for the pennant than the fans have dreamed would be the ease. It Is explained by those who have seen his club that he hasn't settled some of his positions and thst when the team gets its final shaking down the Wolves, as they have been named, will make far more of a showing. Their pitchers seem to be going well and the club has a boss who doesn't know what it is to stop fighting. I'd give a good deal to seo Happy Hogan these days. The Venice leader Isn't the best loser in the world and this thing of continually losing games must be on his nerves.
