"'- - -At Portland Tacoma 6, Portland 3: ' At Vancouver Seattle 2, Vancouver 1, At Victoria Victoria 11, Spokane 2. BY RALPH J. STAEHLI. Freddy Frambach. the Idaho wonder, and heralded as the "second Walter Johnson," did the work tor the Port land Colts yesterday. He pitched a good same, allowing but six hits, but the tide of errors, of which Portland made six, really robbed him of a vic tory. The final score was: Tacoma 6, Portland 3. It was the second act of "The Com edy of Errors." It started In the first winning, when Fries got to first on McKune's error and waB advanced when Gulghi's gumdrop play allowed Mc mullen to get safe. Along came Neighbors with a double Backer and brought them waltzing in. ...Another run occurred in the fifth. West was hit by Frambach and stole seaond. He made good on Fries' fly. Frambach's one bad inning was the eventh. He got a bit nervous and walked West, who was i-xfe on second when Murray let one go. Million scored him with a hit. The later was brought in by McMulien's double, and Fries, .who had walked, got In on the same one. .- The double was more or less of a scorer's problem, as. it rolled all over the outfield and Fries had to come all the way from first. Things went better in the eighth and ninth. 3romley had replaced Fram bach. True he walked two more, but . an equal number of strike-outs and easily handled bingles kept the Tigers off the sacred rubber for the remain der of the afternoon. Girot, on the other side, had the Colts pretty well tethered. The stake pulled out in the sixth, when four of the eight hits gave Portland, its en tire batch of runs. This was in spite of two strike-outs in the same round. Terry McKune, one of the Colts' stars, started, the lineup with a hit. Callahan fanned and Mel chior followed with a hit On hits, Portland again should have had the best of the argument, for the Nick Williams aggregation again clout ed the Tigers for the majority. Eight were garnered. The Tigers again meet the Colts today, the last time for two months.

The latest official bulletin issued by Secretary Farrell contains the news that Evan Evans has been released by purchase to the Cleveland Association . Club by - New Orleans. Evans is the' young eft hander Waiter McCredie was angling for to strengthen up the Beavers' pitching force. Fact is, Walter had figured that if the pitcher could be secured from the Southern League he would come to the Coast. Cleveland is under obligations to Port land, but the association club has been going so badly that President Somers evidently thought that he would bolster up that team and let Port land wait. McCredie declares that he is pretty well fortified as it is In the pitching box.' Krause, West, Higginbotham, Reiger and Martinonl have been going pretty good and figure to hold up the Beavers in the hurling line with such a batch of hitters at their backs.

HOMER NOW HISTORY Swain's Record Takes Drop Over Last Year Mark. GIANTS' DOWNFALL TOLD Mystery of Team's Continuous Slide Down Toward Cellar Still Mys tery Look at Washingtn State Tennis Tourney Taken. BY PORTUS BAXTER. SEATTLE, Wash., May 23. (Special. Home-run records in the Northwest ern League are a thing of the past. In five weeks of the present season Char lie Swain has annexed only two, and in order to get these he has had to make drives that occasioned comment. So far as Seattle is concerned, there has not been a home run made this season either on a hit Inside the lot or by a drive over the right-field fence. Swain's first four-baser was made in Spokane over the left-field fence, something entirely out of the ordi nary. Hia second was- a loft over the left-field fence in Vancouver last Wednesday, the. second; tlme ; it- has been accomplished In the history of the park. Swain will be lucky if he plucks 10 homers this year, quite a come-down from 39 In 1913. The change in his fortune is not en-, tirely due to the larger neld on which Seattle is playing.. A year ago he was a member of the Victoria club, and his average long drive to center would clear the boards for a homer. He not only had t.ie facilities of the Victoria grounds, but Seattle as well to run up his count- Now he plays few games in Victoria, which cuts down his average, and no matter how far he drives to left in Seattle the chances are decidedly against his making the circuit. He has not. lost his driving power, because in one game he lambasted the ball against the front of the left field bleacners, and on two other occasions put It al most to the score board in left, only to have Fries, of Tacoma. catch the "Jail both times. Under last year's condi tions Swain would be well on his way to another year of numerous home runs. . . The mystery of Seattle's continued downfall in Vancouver remains as deep aS ever. If there was a wide difference in the playing ability of the two teams there would be no chance for a discus sion. Taking them man for man, how ever, neither side has enough edge to warrant odds In betting. Yet any per son who has followed the history of the present Northwestern League could have cleaned up a bunch of money by following Vancouver every day when Seattle played there. On several occa sions Dugdale's team has left for Van couver with players and pitchers on edge, and prospects bright. By the end of the week the fans were wonder ing what had happened to the team. We have had numerous changes, some of which might be figured to bring a change in luck, but somehow or other they do not. . Carll Lewis, secretary of the Seattle Tennis Club, says candidly that it does not laok as If Seattle would show any thing surprising in tennis this coming season. . So far there has' been com paratively little practice. Enthusiasm appears to be lacking. It would be my guess that W. A. McBurney will be the leading player In Seattle this year. He was out of condition in 1913, but it will be a different story In' the coming Washington state tournament. I doubt much if Sam Russell takes the measure of the former Spokane star this year, although there is plenty of time for Russell to come. . There is no end of tennis, such as it Is, being played throughout Seattle, and there will be no trouble securing entries for the state tourney. NATIOXAL LEAGUE. St. Louts 4, Xew York 3.

PARK CALLED GOLD New Home of Seals Out Where Ocean Breezes Kick Up. OPENING DAY CHILLY ONE Owners Have Jobs on Their Hands Counteracting Impression That Ewing Field Is in San Francisco Frigid Zone. SAN FRANCISCO. May 23. (Special.) The opening of San Francisco's new baseball park. Ewing Field, has come and gone and now the owners are hav ing something of a job on their hands counteracting the impression that has gone forth to the effect that the new park is decidedly cold. Recreation -Park, on Valencia street, is located in what is known as the Mission warm belt and while there were bitter cold days, still it was warm out there. If anywhere. The new grounds are further toward the ocean, where the breezes kick up about as they please and to make it worse. opening day, last Saturday and the following Sunday, were just about as cold days as San Francisco ever ex perlences. Naturally the big crowds are going to remember -their reception at the hands of the weather. They are already doing considerable talking, and Messrs, Ewing and Ish will have to make soma arguments to head off the in jury that would otherwise be done the new home of the Seals. So far as conveniences are concerned, Ewing Field Is all that could be de sired. It has a capacity of 18,000. Be cause the owners have taken their time, the grass not onlr of the infield, but of the outfied as well is In good shape. Opening day was a corker and noth ing like it has been seen in this city. To begin with, there was a banquet at the Palace Hotel, at which there were 600 boosters. Then came an automo bile parade and finally the game itself. The stands were practically crowded to capacity and the only drawback was the fact that the Seals lost out. a habit they seem to have contracted for state occasions. The new park is modeled after the Oakland grounds. Special efforts have been made to handling the crowds, both in entering the park and getting them away in a hurry. The Geary Street or Municipal Rail road la the only one with cars to the doors of the new park and the Mu nicipal road is by no means situated to handle all the traffic.

SIGHT ED ERICKSOK APPLIES TO FIELDER JOTOS FOR INDICATOR. JOB, McGlnnlty, Suspended, Uoes on Scomtlag Trip Hoy Brown Dae to Join Nick's Colts This Morning. Still another change in Northwest ern League umpires may be expected. Ed Erickson, former Vancouver player and later with Salt Lake, of the Union Association, was in the city yesterday and it is known that he applied to Fielder Jones for a position as indi cator holder. Erickson has held the count on bat ters several times in his baseball ca reer. He is not particularly young and deserted the playing end of the game this Spring, after Northern scribes had him hooked up with McGlnnity and the Tacoma Tigers. Erickson is now a retired farmer at Redmond. Or. He will have another conference with President Fielder Jones today. The outcome may mean another umpire for the Northwest cir cuit. Manager McGinnlty, under suspension for his run-in with ex-Umpire Shuster, was not with the team yesterday, nor In Portland. He will make the suspension a scout ing trip and will join the team later in Tacoma. Roy Brown, one of the Beaver pitch ers, will join the Colts this morning. Brown had to make room for some of McCredie's new acquisitions and will be with Nick Williams for a while. Nick will dp some more trimming in a few days, but where the ax will alight will not be known until after Nick gets on the road. . The suspension of his catcher Is the reason Bill James has not been retch ing much of late, according to a letter from Bill to a Portland friend. He has been pitching good ball and expects to have a regular due-day from now on. He ought to make one of his appear ances tomorrow.
