Individual Averages, While Shaw
and Frisk, or Vancouver,
Are Close.
Spokane and Vancouver loom as the
Wrongest teams in the Northwestern
circuit in 1914, according to the first
averages of the season, which include
the first nine games played. Vancou
ver has a slight edge on the Indians
in team batting, Dut, considering extra
bases, where the Indians lead all rivals,
they appear the most dangerous bat
ting aggregation.
Spokane's team also leads in team
base stealing ana in double plays,
which gives some line of reasoning why
the Indians were off so well in front.
Portland is down in all departments.
Outfielder Jimmy Lewis, of Spokane,
is the first individual batting leader
of the season, with a .448 mark. Hunky
Shaw and Emil Frisk, of Vancouver,
also show in the .400 class.

SAX FRANCISCO. Cal.. April 25.
(Special.) Cal Ewing. principal owner
of the San Francisco Seals, has refused
to show his books to 'a representative
of the Board of Supervisors. William
Dolge, an expert accountant, was in
structed by the Supervisors several
days ago to go over Ewlng's books to
determine his baseball profits so the
Supervisors could more intelligently
arrive at a rate for the baseball license.
Ewing is now paying a license of $300
a year and Supervisor Nolan has a bill
to Increase this to $5000 a year.
It was charged before the commis
sion investigating the license matter
that Ewing's profits last year were
enormous and that he could afford a
much higher license. Ewing protested
and offered to show his books to prove
baseball is not the gold mine supposed.
The accountant was Informed by
Ewing at first that the books would
notbe shown without the proper cre
dentials. Credentials were given the
accountant . by the Supervisors, but
Ewing then flatly refused to show the
books. The latest plan is to charge a
license fee equal to 3 per cent of the
gross receipts, and if so, Ewing will be
forced to disclose the output of his
reputed gold mine.
Past Seasons.. Show Later Games
Often Change Conditions Feder
als Put on Show That Appears
as Good as Big Leagues'.
NEW YORK April 25. (Special.)
That feeling of novelty, and a sort of
nervousness accompanying it, that al
ways goes with the opening of a sea
son should be about worn off by this
time, and from now on the various
clubs in the big league races may be
expected to begin showing something
like their true form. With a fe,w ex
ceptions the teams have insisted on
acting contrary to advance notices thus
far. But, If we would steal a leal
cut of the book of past seasons, it
would be found that after the first
dozen days things begin to right
themselves to a certain degree.
Who in the world thinks the Phil-.
lies have any license to - beat the
Giants by a ratio of 10 runs to one?
Likewise where is there one so bold
as to figure the Athletics 8-to-2 vic
tims for Frank Chance's Yankees?
Yet,1 as we know through opening-day
returns, such events transpired. "They
say," whoever "they say" is, that you
can't "go behind the returns." But
you can in baseball. A lot of things
can e done in baseball that are out
of place anywhere else. What if we
had to accept opening-day indications
at their face value and take it for
granted that the Phillies are 10 times
as strong as the Gionts and the Yan
kees fuur times as strong as the Ath
letics, where would your old pennant
races be then?
The Athletics, figured sure flag win
ners in the American League, took the
hardest beating of any team In their
circuit on the getaway day. And the
Giants, rated Just as much of a lead-
pipe cinch in the National, took the
worst beating in their circuit, rather
as bad a beating as any other club.
for the Cincinnati Reds, rising up on
another point of "out-of-order," mauled
the Cubs by another 10-to-l count.
Still another big upset was seen in
the initial returns, when the Cardinals
beat Pittsburg by a 2-to-l score.
This sort of upsetting has continued,
with- brief intermissions, right on
through the first 12 days of play. Not
only have star ball clubs been wal
loped. by weaker ones, but star pitch
ers have appeared to be the easiest
kind of propositions for teams they
ought to be able to beat. Rube Mar
Quard. on getaway day, yielded a dozen
hits in six and a fraction innings.
Bullet Joe Bush was knocked out of
the box even quicker than the Rube,
yielding five hits and a flock of bases
on balls in two rounds. Larry Cheney
lasted less than seven innings against
the Reds, in that time giving eight
bases on balls, hitting two men, making
four wild pitches' and yielding four
hits. Brooklyn knocked Tyler, of the
Braves, out of the box in live in
nings, having made 11 hits up to that
time. ,
On the second day, George DauSs.. the
star of the Detroit Tigers' staff, hied
rimself to cover at the end of the
seventi inning after yielding 10 hits.
On the third day. the premier mound
man of the Cardinals made his Initial
appearance of the season, anfl he, the
great Sallee, w-ia knocked out of the
box In the eighth inning. Such has
been the fate of star pitchers in these
early days of the race. The tiny have
smitten the mighty. But the turning
of the way Is at hand.
The Jinx of the Cleveland Naps seems
set for another good year. In fact, he
already has got in enough of his dirty
work . to call it a season. About two
weeks ago it was thought the peren
nial hoodoo had completed his 1914
labors when he landed on Shortstop
Chapman to-the extent of one broken
leg, following his singling out of Pitch
er Cy Falkenberg as a Jumper to the
Federal League and the laying up of
Outfielder Nemo Leibold with water on
the knee. But no sooner had the sea
son opened than Bill Steen was lost to
the pitching staff because of a broken
finger and Manager Joe Birmingham
strained his side so badly that he may
be out of the game for half the season
at least. -
With Lelivelt and Graney playing the
Naps' outfield is not nearly so strong
as if Birmingham and Leibold were
acting' as mates to Joe Jackson. The
infield Is something of a Joke, with
Olson playing short Instead of Chap
man. And the pitching staff is
changed from one of the best in the
American League to one of the. worst
with Falkenberg and Steen missing.
Instead of cherishing ideas about giv
ing the Athletics a fight for the pen
nant the Naps had better turn their
thoughts toward getting in the first
division again. One or two more clouts
from the jinx would make the Naps
tailenders, or close to it.
In the opinion of Joe Tinker, Max
Flack, the left fielder of the Chicago
Federals, Is going to be the young sen
sation of the year. Tinker describes
this youth as being the image of Ty
Cobb in action, am claims for the youth
Just as much speed, hitting ability and
fielding cleverness as Tyrus the Great.
Because of Flack's ability to get
around the bass, once he Is on, Tinker
has made him lead-off man in the Chl
feds batting order.
.
Charles H. Kbbets, . president of the
Brooklyn Nationals, may be entirely
wrong in the stand he takes on many
questions, but It is an absolute cer
tainty he is right in his plea for later
openings of the baseball seasons.
Last year there was rain enough and
cold enough in the early weeks of the
campaign, but this season it is even
worse. The first of May probably
would be about the ideal time for get
away day.
Fixing such a late opening would
make it possible for the fans to sit in
comfort - at exhibition games during
the week preceding the segular show.
As it is now, both fans and players risk
their health in early April.
All the Federal League teams have
been seen In action enough now to give
some sort of a line on the grade ef ball
to be offered in the independent circuit
this season, and it must. 'be admitted
that the article Is of better quality
than most followers of the game ex
pected. -
To all Intents and purposes of the
ordinary fan, the show .presented has
been about the same thus far as that
generally seen in the National and
American Leagues.
Discipline has been preserved on the
field and the style of play has seemed
to be as intelligent as that of the older
brothers. Of course, whether such
conditions are to maintain must be left
for the future to prove, and it is well
Just now to reserve decision.
The opening day crowds were all that
could be expected, for were not all the
parks packed to capacity, with big
overflows on the field? Thus was the
start auspicious. .Hut a baseball season
is no sprint race, where the start is
half the battle. They are more like
long-distance grinds, and the pace must
be kept up to the finish if the pro
moters are to do better than break
even.
The Feds now have had openings In
six cities, Baltimore, Pittsburg. Kan
sas City, St. Louis, Chicago and In
dianapolis, the last two only on Thurs
day. Buffalo and Brooklyn are yet to
come, both these , cities being booked
for their first Federal League ball on
May 11. and work on the grandstands
and playing fields in these places is
being rushed to get ady for the big
date. It --lTl be interesting to see
whether these towns, after having
nearly a full month of organized base
ball's pennant contests, will show as
much responsiveness to the novelty of
ine f eas as tne other towns did.

BY BOSCOE FAWCETT.
IN the OKT. Testament tne Israelites
were denounced because they mur
mured. Rn rlnn't arrumble even If
the two PortIand.""ball clubs are not
leading their leagues. Purr. It's a
long- grind off to the finish tape and
the clubs now, setting the pace may
be in the dump by September.
So far as .the Portland Coast League
champs are concerned. Spring diagnosis
has carried out to the nth power.
Walt McCredle has one of the grand,
est machines ever gathered together
in a minor league. With another vet
eran . pitcher' or two, and. perhaps, a
right-handed - , batting catcher, the
Beavers would look the' classiest of
the flock sent down the Coast League
turnpike March 31..
Just at present Manager Mack is ex
periencing some, trouble landing pitch
ers from the majors. But, if the
Beavers can drift along for another
fortnight winning approximately half
their games, there ought to be no
reason for worry.
All the other Coast clubs have
strengthened a little, presaging a
tighter race than ever. Yet. with that
tierce batting artillery of the Beavers
always In the foreground, we don't see
how they are. going to stop the Mack
men once, they get under steam.
Walter McCredie'sald yesterday that
he was hourly expecting word from
the East relative to pitching reinforce
ments. He freely admits that 'some of his
young pitchers have performed several
points below his estimate. Mac still
thinks Brown will be a winner. Han
son also looks promising, and. as
regards Frambach, McCredie is wildly
enthusiastic
"A second Walter Johnson," rhapso
dized the local Cnrranza. "In two
months more Fred cry will surprise
everybody. Although he has yet to
master a slow ball, he has more natural
"stuff" on the ball than any pitcher
in the Pacific Coast League.
"Roy Brown has been laboring under
a severe handicap all Sprnlg," added
Walt. "He contracted a soreness In
his arm at San Francisco, and it has
never left him. The opposition has not
hit Brown hard, but his control has
been bad. His record in the past shows
him to have possessed excellent con
trol. I am sure he will be a winner
as Boon as his wing rounds into shape."
On the eve of the current Coast
League campaign we gave voice to an
humble guess that Portland, Sacra
mento and San Francisco would be the
leading clubs . at the . halfway mark,
around July 1.
Nor do we now see fit to alter such
prediction.
San Francisco has been going over
its head the first few weeks of the
campaign, but the processes of gravity
ought not land it below the third sta
tion. Howard has a better club than
most of the experts are willing to ad
mit. Wolverton has sorely missed Ken
worthy's extra base clouting. Still the
Senators are pretty sure to be in the
first division when the first mad
scramble is over.
Venice appears to be the chief con
nundrum ' of the campaign. Most of
the critics are picking the Venetians to
win the pennant or at worst to finish
second. - So far the Hoganites have
been fulfilling all the prophecies. But
take it from our. private Delphic
stock, the "lfs" have Ahe floor.
If ' Borton holds' to a .300 batting
stride all year and if Doc White con
tinues to baffle the opposing bats
men, Hogan may achieve his fond hopes
this Fall. . From our angle, however,
his Tigers do not impress as pennan
teers. His pitching staff as a unit docs not
look particularly formidable, except in
numbers. Nor does his infield resemb.e
any rigid wall of concrete.
These minor league clubs ofttimes
overhaul so thoroughly during th
forepart of the year as to make prog
nostications appear as products of the
foolish factory. The Oaks and Angels
are still to be .figured. But. when the
time comes to switch horses, crossing
thto stream, we'll d6 so with much
abandon, not to say) eclat.
'
If this fuss keeps up. the Army
Navy game next Fall may be played
in Mexico City, in spite of announced
arrangements.

Once there was a jnan who was so
good, kind and unselfiBh around the
house that the women all tired of him.
He palled on them. And the man knew
finally that he was wearisome, so he
became better, kinder and even more
unselfish than of yore. But it did not
work.
Now, this man possessed a worldly
wise friend, who was a rounder. To
him he told his sorrow. And the
rounder spake:
"Lo, thou art In error. Thou art too
good. Thy remedy is to become rlot
ouEly drunken and break, up the furni
ture." Then the man. seeing his error, be
came drunken, returned to his home,
broke up his furniture violently with
the dull family ax. I
After that the women became at

press upon hisfevered brow. Upon his
recovery they fed him highly and
warmed his slippers by the fire, pend

love him, in that he is masculine."
And there was great happiness In
the family. '

SEATTLE'S SLUMP AWFUL
XORTHWESTEIIX LEAGUE'S SUR
PRISE SPUUXCS BV GIANTS.
Xot Only Characterized aa Blowup,
but Also as Blowout. Ia Dugdale'a
Boya Terrible Week.
SEATTLE, April 23. (Special.)
The breakdown of the Seattle club- in
the early part of the past week against
Vancouver has been the big surprise of
the first parf of the Northwestern
League season. The class of ball they
played against the Colored Giants, all
other teams in preliminary contests,
and Portland In - the opening series
warranted the belief that they would
make a good showing against Van
couver, who got no better than an even
break with the Tacoma Tigers in the
initial series of the season.
It was not only a blowup, but it was
a blowout. Individually or collectively,
the team could not do anything. Team
work was reduced to almost zero. So
far as attack went. It was the worst
ever.
It is true that the outfield has been
unsettled, owing to the poor showing
of Martini and subsequent experiment
to fill his place, but the field, one
figured as steady, fell down. too.
In the first three games, all of which
were won by Vancouver, the Seattle
pitchers were hit hard, which, mixed
with bad fielding, made a bad mess.
If Swain had been hitting at his usual
pace It would have made a great dif
ference. In the first series he batted
only .190. and up to Thursday of the
past week had fallen far below those
figures. Commencing with last Sunday
he went four games without a hit.
The Vancouver club has not suffered
to any appreciable extent through the
loss of Pirst Baseman Walsh. Out
fielder Kippert. Pitchers Ingersoll and
Schmuts and Catcher Konnlck. McCari
is a faster man at first than Walsh,
and if he keeps up his hitting all wrH
be well with the champs at the initial
corner. Bennett seems to be about the
same as ever, and no fault can be found
with Helster's work at third.
