For five and a half innings today the I battle between left-handers Krauae and I Decannier was aa pretty as any man ; ever saw. Then Krause .blew, up, the ' Tigers grot four of their nine hits, 1 soored three runs and practioally won ; the game. Brown relieved Krause in ! the next frame and he, too, was touohed right smart for tt time. The score ended & to 2 for the Tigers and save them the series regardless of the ! outcome of tomorrow's double header. ' Krause bogged MoCredie for another ! ohance at Hotr&n's men, wishing to ' .wipe out his defeat earlier in the week. It looked at first as if he -would get away with It, but in the sixth, with the score 1 to 0 in his favor, successive singles by Bayless, Litschl and Mo Donnell, a walk to McArdle. a double steal and Elliott's single chased in three runs and the game. Kranxe's Explosion Sudden This disaster happened with the first two men up safely stowed away, sim ply showing how uncertain the game of baseball really is. Krause's explos ion came without a moment's warning "V .and before McCredie could get another J man warmed up. '? In the next frame Brown was sent to J the mound and was greeted with a sin gle bv Hoso. Leard was nassed and both moved up on Meloan's out, Yantzl to Derrick. Captain Pick Bayless came to the rescue with a terrific line drive to right, which Doane blocked, giving " Bayless but one base, but Hoap. and Leard had plenty of time to score. In the eighth the Tigers could do nothing at all with Brown. The Beavers ran one across in the second. With Ryan out, Rodgers beat out a bunt and kept on to second when Litschl threw wild at firBt. Lober's infield out put Captain Bill on third. ; .' Double Steal Staged. ' Davis was passed and then he and Rodgers pulled a beautiful double steal, the latter scoring. Elliott dropped Leard's quick return, but Rodgers was ahead of the ball anyway. " In the eighth ' Brown doubled and a scored on Derrick's single. k Decannier never worked better and ; was in trouble at no stage of the) game. Today's win made his third straight.

Duller at Short, Vohe at Third and Bloomer at First, Tacoma Squad Trans formed Into Good Mlaohine. ' BY PORTUS BAXTER. SEATTLE", Wash., May 1. (Special.) "I shall pitch the opening game in Portland next Monday afternoon." said Joe McGinnity, the famous "Iron Man," of the New York Giants, and now own er of the Tacoma Tigers. "It was my intention to enter the lists in Seattle (Sunday, May 17,) tomorrow, but when Manager Raymond announced that Pete Schneider, who lost his first game of the year last Thursday, by a score of 8 to 1, again would pitch Sunday, I decided to drop out, and shove Kauf man, who beat him, into the battle. If Schneider can pitoh with two days' rest, so can Kaufman, who is an easy worker. This arrangement gives me a rest from Friday to Monday, and I hope to give the Portland Colts a run for their money." So far this season McGinnity has pitched fine ball, and it is only fair to remark that after many trials- and tribulations, Tacoma : has finally got a real ball club. The addition of J. Bute ler at short, Yohe at third and Bloomer at flrgt, has transformed the team from an uncertain fielding aggregation into a fine machine. They have their days off the same as any other team, but on the average they play fast, snappy, clean-cut aggressive ball. They need one or two mere reliable HARRY MEEK DEFEATS HONUS MITZE AT BILLI ARPS-TAKES BASEBALL JOB Two Coast IagTie catchers Once Played Game to Decide Who Would Stay With Birmingham Team-Umpire Larocque Once Made 14 Errors in 15 Chances-Jim Flynn Has Tun With AutoOther Stories Told. EVSH hear of two ball players da---ctding which should take a Job by playing a game of billiards? Harry Meek, tha big Los Angeles catcher, is well-known for his diamond and bowling ability, but, Meek also is some blHiardist and to his dexterity with the cue the ex-V ( c t o r i a man owes at least one year's pay checks. Meek and Honus MiUe, - now star catcher of the Oaks, were both trying put with Birming ham in the South? ern League back in 1907. Another fel low had grabbed off the first string job. and as only (WO catchers were to be carried, it wag a cinch either Meek or Mltze would have to go. Meek was sitting in the billiard room in their hotel one night when Mltze came in. "I ll just play you 109 points at billiards to see which of us stays," said Honus. "Ypu're on,1' repljed Meek. Mltze got away to a good lead and 96 points to Meek's 86 and Harry was about ready to pack his grips and beat it when Mitze missed an easy shot and left the ivories bunched. Meek ran the necessary 14 points, and so it was Mltze who left. In quest of another job. --' Umpires in the Union Association (his year are. Frank Newhouse, Longar necker and Sammy Larocque, so the writers over around the Montana Utah circuit ought to have material enough there, for a volume. Longanecker is the ex-Northwestern-er nateor, Kewhouse retired from the Coast League only last season, with a past as - multi-colored as Jacob's coat, while - Laroeque, - now approaching 63 years of age. is as interesting a per? sonage as one -would care to meet. Sammy was .probably tbe first French. Canadian to take up our Na, Clonal sport. His name was ' never blazoned to fame for knocking six home runs in one game or winning 19 straights and marrying an actress, but, just the same Larocque proudly boasts of at least pnp record Sam's record has never been equalled and "still stands monumental and im posing as Mount Hood on a sunny day. Mr. Larocque-- states, and has the clipping to prove it. fhat In one game &t shortstop 25 years ago he committed )4 errors in 15 chances. - a Jim Flynn is known to the boxing profession aa the "kldder'' of the ring. Vlynn, no matter how busy training or pitchers to help out McGinnity and Kaufman. They signed "Kiddo" "Wil son, formerly ef Victoria, last week, and if he attends to business the pitch ing staff will be much stronger. Some times Girot, McGlnnlty's left-bander Is ay whirlwind, and then again he is uncertain. Kraft did not show well in Seattle. He pitched ope inning and it was a swatfest. Behind the bat Tacoma is well forti fied with "Slim" Harris, formerly of Portland, and Brettem, a lad that was with Victoria early In the season, and supposed to be unreliable in his threw-, Ing. Since McGinnity has had him he has been pegging like a master. Tacoma can have one man out all the time and still have a fine outfield. Million, Fries, formerly of Portland; Abbott and Neighbors make yp the guartet. from which the working trie is selected. There is not a "weak sis ter" in the bnnch. Abbott is playing a grand center field and batting welL His only trouble is his. arm, which bothers him in throwing to the plate. Fries is a better hitter than Millien, but Million ia faster on his feet. Neigh bors always hits around .800 and la a fair outfielder. 1 This team with either McGinnity or Kaufman pitching, can be figured to make the going hard for the other clybs nine put of ten games. If past history cap be counted on for apythjng, geattle will' have a. hard week:' They play in Vancouver from Monday to Sunday, and it would be something extraordinary If they gel anywhere near an even break. " Just why the Giants crash irj Vancouver would be hard to say, but they usually do. Ob this basis, Vancouver should gain ground. Spokane is scheduled for Victoria. Spokane hap been having trouble winpipg games recently, but It Is time for luck to turn,, and probably at the expense of Victoria, Umpire's Buckle Causes Trouble. The Players' Fraternity having suc ceeded in getting a green background to bat against, now has another propo sition somewhat similar put up to it. Umpirs Billy Evans, It appears, wears a gold buckle on his belt. In a -repent game his coat was open and the sun glinted from that gold buckle into the eyes of a Yankee pitcher, who says it made him loose control. So he wants the Fraternity to legislate againts Evans' adornment. fighting, always finds time to put one pver on his friends. A few years ago while he was work ing for a fight with Jack ''Twin" Sul livan in Los Angeles he ''fixed" an au? tomoDue in which he intended to en tertain his friends. In this automobile he coiled a wire just under the leather and above the padding of the front seat opposite that occupied by the chauffeur. Tben Flynn planted him? self and the car along side of the busiest corner in Los Angeles. Jlis fellow workers and training partnepi were stationed across the street tj to see the fun. A young lady c a m e alone: r h e I-t- r i" .t.t j .. yarv- With his beat man-' rfmvea dofet ners and sweetest f 'ez- smue. invited the J Cfi?wn. young lady t otake - - - - a. spin. She dimpled and . accepted shyly. Flynn helped her. into the 'loaded'' seat, went to ' the front ut the car, as though to- crank off, and turned on the "juice" that shot elec tricity through the wire coiled under the seat in which the young lady was demurely waiting. The connection was perfect, ' for the young lady jumped to her feet with a scream and cleared the wheel and other appurtenances with one leap, alighting en her feet and going away from Fiynn's "Ha Ha" with all" tbe speed possible. Several men also were in vited to take a ride by Flynn and many accepted, but they never, started. - ;,'-' Red John Powell is in .Tithe Pacific Coast League, and the big, burly pitchr er. after 20 years of hurling, 'is oii the same club Venice with Doc White, of the Chicago Sox, The wheel of fortune brings many veterans together . that way. Seems only a few months ago that Powell was one Cleveland' main-; stay and Cy Young the other, . And they' say, too, that Lou Criger Is slowly but surely passing out. (Jriger'a history was stransely woven (n with that of Young and Powell. ' Ha was with Powell 'in the smaller leagues; he came with Powell to the old Cleveland team so long, long ago and for many days both Powell and Criger were only tolerated because somebody might get hurt.

CHANGE SEEMS CERTAIN Victoria. Expected to 'tay In League, but Xew Money Likely to De Interested'- Frary's Berth to Re Filled; at Once. Northwestern League magnates will meet Tuesday afternoon at Victoria, B. C, for the purpose pf straightening out tha tangle which has resulted from the resignation of Russ Humber fronj the Victoria directorate. President Fielder Jones returned yB; terday from the north anrj immediately issued the call for the -extraordinary session. W. W. MoCredie leaves Port, land Monday njght, but President Jones likely will precede him. Humber bought the club recently from the former owpers, McConnell and Wattelet, and la now suing them for misrepresentation. In the interim the Bees are without official head. and Tuesday's league meeting will b for the purpose of settling the status pf the club. Without doubt the team will be con tinued there, but from all appearances new blood and new money will be re, -quired to finance the tail-enders. Questioned as to the umpiring va-r eancy created by the desertion of Ralph Frary to the Federal League, President Jones said he had a man coming, but was not at librty yet to" give his name'. "Kiddo" Wilson, well-known ball player, is filling in as umpire, and it may be that President Jones contem plates giving him the berth. "1 am very much disappointed In to Ad Wolgast he was matched with Monte Dale for a 15-round go at Den ver. Dale was a Denver lad with a fair reputation, but had not fought for sev eral months because of a broken arm which he had suf fered In a previous bout. His arm was I still weak, put he thought he could I get away with It, SPd In the second round he fractured the arm again and he was forced to I quit. "With his usuall bluster and confi dence, he advanced 1 to the ropes after r 'yj, yv the accident, held jm? r up his -right hand jS7y Saner&J' comma p ding si- Bat TVelnon. lenee and said to the crowd: "Gentle men, it hurts me as much as Dale to have- this accident happen. I am ci: tremely sqrry for the young man. and know that he would have done fine with me had not this happened. Any young man who tries should be encour aged. He has my most heartfelt sym pathy, and anything 1 can do for him I will gladly do it." T After the crowd had gone and Dale, with his arm in splints, was seated in tha box- office with Nelson and the promoters waiting for the split of the purse. Dale thanked Nelson for his words, but Bat did not smile back any thanks, "I get $2500, as tontracted," said the business man. Kelson. "But that will leave only $50 for Dale, and it will cost $7S to have his arm attended to," said the promoters, who had heard Bat doing the speaking while In the arena. ' , "That's none of my funeral." said the philanthropic Bat, and he grabbed his coin and boarded a rattler for Chicago. - Qpe day last March while the Chi cago White Sox were on the Coast, Billy Sullivan, the veteran catcher, strolled onto, the ball field at Sacra mento, One of the Sacramento players advanced toward him. with hand out stretched. Bill looked through him and wandered away, Later Sullivan, from a hiding place around tha end o' the stands, called: "Oh, Van, come here." . Van Buren, the fielder who had been cut, trofted. over, and Sullivan gave nini a hearty hand grip. "I thought you didn't know me. Bill." remarked Van Buren.

But I heard not a word from him." - Fred Frambach and Homer Haworth youngsters sent home by the Portland Coaet League club from Los Angeles, reached Portland yesterday and were spectators at the Portland Colts-Victoria game. - . - Both likely wl be turned over to the Colts, and It is rumored that Roy Brown, of the Beavers, also will be turned back by Walter McCredie. Jick Williams team now looks mighty good in all departments ex cept the outfield, where it lacks hit ting strength, so it is altogether pos sible that Brown may come to the colts and ba converted inte a gardener. Although drafted as a pitcher, Brown can bit like a fiend, and is a shifty fielder in addition. According to Frambach and Haworth, the Portland Coast twirlers have been pitching good ball, but there has been a lack of run-getting behind them, and also the breaks have been going against tne weavers. The new pitcher, Reiger. is a small right-hander, built on Brown's lines, says Frambach. Brenesran is a tall Irishman, standing about six feet two incnes.

Portland took another from Victoria yesterday by clubbing big McKenry off the mound, while the Bee batsmen were breaking their vertebrae trying to fathom Herb Salveson's smoke ball. Score: Portland 8, Victoria 1. Salveson is one of the young pitchers turned over to Nick Williams by the Portland Coasters. He couldn't get by In the Coast League because of wtld ness. Traces of his wildness exhibited themselves yesterday but his six walks were evenly spattered through tbe nine frames. Meanwhile the six-footer was shoot-' ing his smoke ball through steaming hot. The Bees simply could not con nect. Five hits was the Delmas tribe total, and three of these swats, bunched In the eighth, gave the visitors their " sole tally. - Salveson didn't feed up five curve balls all afternoon. Fifth Finishes McKenry. McKenry, who began the twirling for Victoria, likewise cast his first shoe in the Coast circuit this Spring, Los Angeles releasing him to the British ers. McKenry pitched good ball until the fifth inning, and then, a rare com bination of miscues and base hits drove him to seek shelter in the little room under the grandstand where the watei trickled from Swiss cheese pipings overhead. Chapman relieved him, and after wedging himself from the fifth inning tangle, twirled runless ball. The erratic pitching of the earlier innings seemed to breed slovenly -fielding, however, for the Bees played rath er bu.igly ball In tbe fielding line. Nye opened the way for a Portland lefed in the very first inning when he booted McKune's grounder. Callahan walked a moment later and botb scored on Melchlor's sizzly two-bagger to deep left center. Thereafter the Colts were not headed. In the fifth the hosts of Nick scored their remaining six tallies on five hits, a walk and errors by McKenry and Wilhoit. Wilholt's Error Freakish. Murray singled to first, and both Dan and Salveson went safe when McKenry juggled a bunt. McKune singled in field, filling the bases, and everybody romped home on a single Into left by Hausman. Wilhoit evidently imagined he was playing with a smallpox germ. He made about five stabs at tha ball before picking it off the grass. Callahan scored Hausman with a double to center, and when McKenrj walked ' Melchior, Manager Delmas chased him in favor of Chapman. There was a temporary lull, during whics Guigni went dark, but a single by Miiligan registered two more runs be fore the pastime resumed an even keeL , Catcher Carney finished the inning by taking a throw at first base on foul to Brooks, doubling Miiligan. Can ney's unusual headwork and a sterling play back of second by McKune fur nished, the de luxe fielding features. McKune cut- off another tally in th4 eighth by taking Zimmerman's grounder with the bare hand and forc ing Crum at. second with a back-hand toss. Singles by Crum, Lamb and Brooks scored one run in the excite ment. About 800 fans were out. Weathei perfect.
