(Special.) ; joying wnn tne Portland Colts was the . chief pleasure of "Dick" Kaufman this J forenoon, when he piloted the Iron Men to a 4-to-l victory. t Kaufman was in supreme command J throughout the struggle and was en- titled to a shut out if ever a pitcher was. But three hits were obtained off I his delivery and one of these was. of J the most scratchy variety. . The only run annexed by the Colts came In the fourth inning and was a 3 K'rt- While the Bengal runs were not all of the earned vuriety, they were entitled to enough. The Iron Men started the run-getting in the second spasm. Butler 'walked when Bromley eased up and cantered across when Neighbors doubled. "Cy" purloined third and then Bloomer walked and it looked as though the bengals were going to lay by a whole covey of tallies, but Harris and Kaufman retired after infield flies v and the Iron Men were checked for the time being. Melcholr Krepa on Going;. - The Colts equalized in the fourth. .Melcholr walked and boodled second. Then Milligan popped the easiest little fly in the world. It would have been -mallard soup for McMullin, but Ody . Abbott came charging in and an nounced In clarion tones that he had It. In this statement he erred as well , tis In the play, for he did a head stand and lost the ball in the mlxup and Melcholr kept on going until he crossed the plate. The Iron Men came back In the sixth . Inning, made three runs and cinched the game. After Yohe had gone to the plate, breesed and subsided, Ab bott laced out a screaming double and then stole third. With the Infield drawn In, McMullin punched through a single and Abbott counted. Butler singled and Melchoir let the ball get away from him, McMullin scoring and Butler pulling up on third base. Neigh. liors drove one at Bromley, who made an insane chuck for the plate, all hands safe and three living, breathing runs stowed away for safe keeping. Tumi Kane i'p lVear End. ' After that both teams eased up, neither side threatening. Kaufman kept the Colts munching out of his hand, while Bromley settled down and held the Iron Men safe.

He Finally Shows Up Fast in Spokane Team. BAKER AND" HUNT LEAD Southpaws Make Flying Start in Northwest League and Hold Down Opponents to Few Hits and Fewer Runs In Game. Jess Baker and Ben Hunt, two ex Pacific Coast League southpaws, seem to be getting- off to a flying start among Northwest League pitchers. Baker, last year with the Seals, has won four straights for Spokane, and Hunt three in a row for Vancouver. Fete Schneider, of Seattle, Is also starring-, with four wins. Dave Gregg appears to be the big surprise of the campaign, however. Dave broke in with Portland two years ago and finally was sold to Cleveland. Last year Dave was shunted around on the baseball map like a shuttlecock, ROlng to Connecticut from the Nape, then to Toledo and back to the Naps. Dave now is twirling great ball for Spokane. Statistics complied up to Tuesday give Dave two victories, but on Wednesday Dave set Seattle down with two hits, so has . won three straight. Gregg is yet the property of Cleveland, and may some day tea back and perform alongside his remarkable brother, Vean. In the batting department. Wllhoit, ex-Venice outfielder. Is going great guns. Wilhoit is sticking .405 for Vic toria. Wagner, Frisk. Cadman. Fries. Williams and Mllllgran are lother prime Bwatters of the Spring. The batting of Nick Williams and Dave Mllllgan. of Portland, is one of the pleasant features, from a local viewpoint. Milligan has batted over .300 for two years past in the Central Association, and looks like a natural hitter. His average Up to Tuesday was .356. Nick Williams' feat of knocking a homer with the bases full at Tacoma will be long remembered. Melchior, Swain, McCarl, Reams. Whitt, Netael and Zimmerman are among the early season disappoint ments. Cy Swain generally starts like a house afire, but he haei not yet found his eye for tne Giants. Pitching and batting records up to April 29 follow: Pitchers' Records. W. L.. m SURPRiS P.C. Bo.

INSTEAD of one disjointed Chicago team, California ball fans will see two big league teams in action next Spring- New York Giants and Chicago Sox if present plans are Car ried out. And that means that the Portland Beavers will meet New York In addition to the Sox on their next training Jaunt. In New York a few days ago Muggsy McGraw tipped off some of his plans for the Winter season. McGraw and Conilskey Intend taking their world's tourists south to Cuba, thence to Pana ma and South America, winding up In California for the usual Spring stunts early in March, co-incident with the opening of the world's fair. The big leaguers figure on 'coining a barrel of money during- the jaunt, and if the South Americans are as en thusiastic as McGraw seems to Imagine, the income tax fund should be appre ciably fattened ere 1915 fades Into ob scurity. The White Sox took one jaunt to the Latin American environs back In 107 when Fielder Jones was bossing them, but Mexico City was the limit Of the journey. "Huerta can have the country for all of me," remarked Mr. Jones tersely, reminiscing on his trip during one game of the Seal series last week. "We passed the Spring training season of 107 in Mexico City and I got my "fill of Mexico, "Baseball has a good grip in the Batting. R. H. 2b. 3b. Hr. Bh. 8b. Pet.

Baseballs In use Jn the new Federal League are too lively, allege certain of the stars, among whom Is Otto Knabe. bose of the Baltimore Feds. Knabe knows. "When my team trained down in Virginia the boys did some awful wal loping," said Knabe, in Chicago a few days ago. "I had trained on the same grounds several seasons before with the Phillies, and became curioue to know whether my bunch was actually knocking the ball as far as I thought. So I measured and found to my amaze ment that their drives were taping some 30 and 40 yards further than it had been knocked by such stare as Cravath and Paskert. "My suspicions were aroused and I began to think the new ball showed too many signs of life. I took a dozen of them, therefore, and placed them under an old hen, who had been set ting on a door knob for three weeks. My suspicions were confirmed, for wlh. 14 day" tna thinge hatched out " Files, no doubt. Next to the ball and the bat the injunction is the big Item In baseball paraphernalia nowadays.

Vice Commodore George Baker Jr., Rear Commodore J-. p. Morgan, Fred erick G. Bourne, Cornelius Vanderbllt, Arthur Curtis James and ex-Vice-Com-mdore Henry Walters are the patriots In the syndicate. Fifteen other yachtsmen are building the Defiance at Bath, and this little craft will cost at least $100,000. The Defiance is of composite build with steel frames and a double wood skin, hence will cost considerably less than the-bronze beauties, Tom Llpton, too. is building of com posite construction this year, so his Shamrock IV wlil cost not more than $130,000, compared with $350,000 on his former challengers.

EVERY GAME WON SO FAR Dusdale Has Bad Luck In Dealing With 'Weatherman Giants Fall to "Stand Vp" Under Rosy r Pre-Season Horoscope. BT POHTVS BAXTER. SEATTLE. May 2 (Special.) If Walter McCredie had been able to put inrougn nis plan to grab Pete Kchnoi. der early In the Spring he would have landed a flinger worth having. To date ocnneiaer is the only real winning pitcher Seattle has out of a staff that looked mighty good before actual hos tilities were beg-un. In Spokane they say they are not quite sure whether Pete has developed suddenly or whether newspaper boosting has sent him on the road to success, but admit that after a couple of years of doubtful per formances he has come forth like the real goods. Schneider has pitched and won five games this Spring by the following scores: a-1, 2-0, a-2. 4-2 and 6-0. The last time Schneider pitched In Spokane was last Thursday, and although he won, reports have it that he did not how quite the same stuff he had the previous Monday. This Is not surpris ing considering the fact that Pete has worked Ave games in 1 days, "or one game for every three and one-fifth days They figure on pitching Schneider again In Spokane tomorrow, and It would not be surprising if he lost, as Jess Baker, the Indians' winning heaver, will be out against him. a It Is an- old saying and a true one that what a lub loses at the gate on account of bad weather cannot be re covered. At the present rate of progress President Dugdale will be qualified to write a book on thfs particular feature of the game. With a few added features about the difference of a ball club in preliminary battles and the regular schedule affairs. Practically speaking. Dug lost the shekels he was entitled to expect on the opening day and tho first q,,,i... On each of these occasions the weather man Denaved so badly that It was wonder games were played. Dug's Idea "uwever. to piay it possible, no mat ter If the weather keeps everybody at home. The way Spokane was going raised the presumption that there would be a good attendance last Mon day in bpokane. Once more the weath er man aid tne wrong thing and Dug sv, . ... mo nccn, ' iiiia is enougn to make most any baseball magnate sore, but it does not tell half of the trials and tribulations that have befallen Dug in the past three weeks. Candidly, Dug and a lot of others, including myself, thought the Seattle club was unusually stsong. Seems to me I said flat-footed that we had the best pitching staff In many years, especially If Gipe came through. And I believed what I said. I was not quite satisfied with the outfield, but beamed with satisfaction on the infield; said It would be reliable and steadv. If anything. Dug was more optimistic about the team than the outline I have given. At the close of the first week every body was happy and we could not see where Spokane had any edge on us. We did not view the approach of Van couver with any great apprehension. Three days later a remarkable change had taken place. The pitching staff had been mangled, the hits had dropped out of the clubs, and when an ordinary fielding stunt was pulled oft success fully the bleachers broke loose with tumultuous applause. How the team managed to win 50 per Cent of the first four games in Spokane during the past week Is a puzzle, save that Fete Schneider was on the mound and Inflated on winning Irrespective of what his followers did to keep in their old rut. And the oddest feature of their victory last Thursday was that hardly a vestige remained of the club we were doting on April 14. Gipe was on first, Fullerton on second and Jamea on third. When you see a lineup shaken like that you can Imagine that the manager Is staying up nights to study calculus. W'hat the lineup will "be Monday, May 4, when Seattle comes home for one day to play Victoria I do not know and am not bold enough to guess. Any way, there will be the fun of looking them over and studying the layout. This will be the only chance, remember, un til next Thursday, as Seattle plays in Victoria on Tuesday and Wednesday. Since Ross Humber purchased the Victoria club he has strengthened It at all doubtful points. Nye, second base; Wllhoit. left field: Cunningham, catcher: Carney, catcher, and two thirds of the pitchers are new men. Wilhoit is touted as the fastest man in tbi league. Elliott and Bayless, of Venice, and Corlian and Charles, of Seals, Are Close Behind Masgcrt and More Are Ixiw. Joe Tobln, of the Seals, dropped 30 points In the series against the Oaks, but Joe still leads the Paciric Coast League stickers. Tobin's average, in cluding games of April 28. Is .380. Buddy Ryan ranks second, with .170. with Elliott and Bayless, of Venice, and Corhan and Charles, of the Seals, close juoliu j nsgeram. of the Seals. naa piayea in only ten games up to April 26, but, from all appearance, Fltz is off to a good start- He batted .470 In those ten appearances, Alexander, of the Oaks, also appears to be a good stick er.

Some of the batting disappointments of the year thus far are Maggert and Moore, of Lea Angeles, both below .200, and Schweitzer, of Sacramento.
