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. The averages up to last Tuesday
were as follows:

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. The
playing of Prather, of Buena Vista,
featured the game. Welnert pitched
a nice game for Alrlle, allowing but
six hits. Arlle will present a strong
front in the first game in the Polk
County baseball schedule. The lineup
will be: J. Welnert. pitcher: W. Weln
ert. shortstop: Conn, second base: V.

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."

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

SEAL FANS GROWL
AT J. CAL
Sentiment Displayed Because
Team Can't or Doesn't
Win Games.
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. Telegraphic
reports Indicate that he Is sending out
many a hurry-up call for help In or
der to strengthen his club before he is
too far in the rut. '
Two Ready for Discard.
If the results of games are any indi
cation, there are two pitchers who
seem to have outlived their usefulness.
Charlie Baum, of Los Angeles, Sacra
mento and Venice, seems to have ex
ploded and Flame Delhi, in the four
games he has started, has made noth
ing but a mess of It. Del Howard still
sticks to it that Delhi is a good pitch
er and will round Into form. One In
side story Is to the offset that Delhi
has a lot of trouble with his arm every
night after he has worked In a game
and that Isn't to be considered as high-
lv encouraging
