At Lot Aninlti Los Ancelc'i 11. Oak land a BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. SACRAMENTO. Cel.. April 4. (Spe cial.) Rain caused a halt In the Port land-Sacramento game today, but there was noticeable activity In both camps notwithstanding. Wolverton made the layoff profitable by signing "Kid Mohler to play second base for the Sen ators, while Walt McCredie busied him self with his batting order. As a re sult of Mac's deliberations t)errlck will ewitch places with Bobby Davis in box scores when the teams hook up in the double-header tomorrow. Bobby Davis has been In a hitting slump for two weeks past and his fall from second to seventh place In the batting order is not nearly so surpris ing as the Mohler revelation. The former San Francisco playing manager was released only a few weeks by the Portland Coirs. However, Mohler's crabby disposition, not bis ballolaying, brought about the blue ticketing, according to Inside "dope" at hand, and he ought to bolster the Sena tors considerably. Job Slay Be Temporary. Wolverton has' been using two kids, De Forrest and Glannlni, in the hole left vacant by Kenworihy's hop to the Feds, but neither one is ripe for Class AA ball yet. Wolverton Is quoted as having an inflelder coming from De troit, so tbat Mohler's Job may be only temporary. Be that as It may, there Is a glaring weakness at the Solon's keystone sta tion now. and Mohler will be a big help. He Is expected to report tomorrow. For the Beavers. Iligginbotham and WW will twirl Sunday's morning and aitcrnoon double bill, opposing the re cruit ICremer. and possibly Klawitter or Elagle. Manager McCredie say's there Is a chance that one of his young pitchers will be tried out against San Francisco next week. "Unless the Seals prove easy meat I most likely will stick to the vets, how ever." the big boss said tonight. "Brown's sensational form Friday againat the Senatois was quite a tonic to me. If f can develop one more like Mm, well, they won't be able to head us." "Cap Bill" Injects Faith. Captain Rodgers had Pitchers Han son, Peet, Frambach and Salveson clos eted for an hour this morning. "All they need Is confidence." re marked "Cap" afterwards. "I'm trying to shoot a few ounces of confidence into them and when the time comes watch them come through, just as Brown did." Rodgers thinks right now that the Portland pitching staff Is the best In the league. OAKS USE 4 PITCHERS; LOSE Los Angeles Piles TTp Eleven Runs in "At-Homc" Slaughter. LOS AXGEL.ES. April 4.

The Walla Walla Bears' only weak point Is In the pitching staff. Bridger being the only old head In the bunch. Manager Bade hopes uevelop one or two good men. The thfleld is believed to be stronger than last year, even with Bobby Davis out. Schmidt, in training, looks like a second Ltavis.

April 4. Pendle ton's team in the Trl-state League failed to show any class today, being taken into camp by Whitman College. 7 to 3. The Collegians apparently had the measure of the professionals at all stages of the game. The locals fre quently had men on bases and twice had the bases full without being able to score but one run. Senner opened on the mound for the leaguers and except for wildness proved effective. Od 'll had a trial but was pounded hard. Baker, the college pitcher, had the local batsmen at his mercy at all critical stages. He had good support while the locals contrib uted a number of errors and several bonehead performance. Local fans are disappointed with the showing made. COHTMI5CS BEATS ILED SOX Boston Americans Get Only Two Hits Off Minor League Pitcher. COLUMBUS. O.. April 4.

Beavers' Batting Averages Attorney E. E. Gates, Tor Complain ant. Declares League Enter Suit "Clean Handed," Citing Rea sons Decision Due Soon. GRAND RAPIDS. Mich.. April 4. Decision as to the winner In the first open battle between the new Federal Outlaw Baseball le.igue and organized baseball, as represented by the National League is now up to the umpire. Judge Clarence W. Sessions, of the United States District Court. for Western .utcuigan. Arguments of counsel in the case brought by the management of the Chi cago Federal League club to enjoin William J. Killifer. Jr.. from continu ing In the service of the Philadelphia National League club, or any other than the Chicago Federal league or ganization, were eomDleted lute to day, and the Judge took the case under auvisement. lie announced he would not give a decision before next Tues day and possibly not for a week or ten days. While the counsel for the Federal League -centered their attack on the reserve clause of contracts in organized baseball and the so-called t.n-dav clause permitting a club to dispense with a contracted player's services at any time after a ten dnys- notice, the issue went olt at a tangent when Judge Sessions raised the question as to the Federal League's moral rights in tne matter. l'olnt of Law Cited. Under hypothetical questions directed at counsel for the Federal League, the judge pointed out tht Killifer and the management of the Philadelphia club are the parties to the contract containing the reserve and ten-day clauses and both have said they are tattstied. Further he referred to the Chicago Federal I-eaRue club as an outsider, not a party to the contract, but nevestheltss seeking relief from the court on a breach of the original contract which It, by offering larger Inducements, might have inspired, lie A.ld: "He who seeks equity must himself come into court with clean hands. You having been a party to the breach of oblicatlon, cluim you ara entitled to an enforcement of the contract, not withstanding your actio:) In that regard." Attorneys K. K. Gates, of Indiana polls: Stuart K. Knupp. n, of Grand Rapids, and S. H. Straw.t. of Chicago, represented the Federal League In the arguments. Attorneys George Pepper and Samuel M. Clement, of Philadelphia. sr.d William B. Csrpenter. of Detroit, represented the Philadelphia National League club. Judge Sessions questioned counsel for the complainant with reitntd to the knowledge of the Chicago Federal League club magnates of the existence of the Philadelphia contract and ro serve clause, lie stated this was one of the complex questions of the case. He added the remedy sousht by the complainants is extraordinarv in tho United States District Court: that tem porary injunctions , are not granted except on a showing of absolute right, tiaft-a Make Di-rettaae. In defense of his po.-l:lon that the Chlcafc-o Federal! had coine into court with "clean hands," Mr. Gules us.ii.rtoJ that granting the Invalidity of the reserve clause. Killifer had discharged all moral obligations under it when he waited until Januarv 11, 1914, be fore signing with the Federals. Attorney George Pepper, of Phila delphia, took the other side. Ills argu ment was woven around the epigram: "Should the seducer of an emplo) e be entitled to equity In court?" Attorneys for the National League club took occasion brlelly to defend the reserve clause and the ten-day clause. Affidavits by President James A Gil. more, of the Federal League: Manager Joe Tinker, of the Chicago club; Presi dent Charles Weeghman, of the Chi cago Federal League, and several others were filed to show that Killifer' s services were of value to the Chicago Federals. Original "Error" Shown. It was brought out that the ten days' clause was eliminated from Killlfer'a contract and the reserve clause broad ly amended subsequent to his signing the 1914 National League contract. Tho complainant cited this as an evidence of error In the original form of contract. He also charged thut owing to a reorganization and in corporation of the Philadelphia Na tional League Club, the corporation now seeking to retain Kllllfer's serv icea under tho 1913 contract resetve clause Is not ths same company which waa one of the parties of the original con tract Among the Interested spectators in court were: Catcher Killifer, President James A.
