Umpire TUgler and Manager Herzon; of Cincinnati fought on the local National League field today and later caused each ether's arrest on charges of peace dis turbance. In the seventh inning: Hugglns of Et. Louis put Leach of Cincinnati out st second by the hidden ball trick. Herzog disputed Rigler's decision and "was ordered off the field. A few min utes later he returned and. according to Rigler, called the umpire a name. In a flash Rigler tbre off his mask and struck Herzog in the face with it. The two clinched and pummeled each other until twelve policemen and their fellow players separated them. Herzog was taken to the clubhouse with a bleeding nose and discolored eye. After the fight Umpire Rigler was found to be suffering from- severe Kashes in his foot. He said he struck Herzog because the latter stepped on liis foot with sharp spikes. Herzog denied spiking the umpire, and was supported in this statement by Killifer, of the Cincinnati club, who assumed responsibility for injuring Rigler's foot, but said he did it acci dentally. As Herzog and Rigler clashed members of both teams rushed into the affray. Men from the grandstand also started toward the fighters, and a general fight seemed imminent. A squad of police men averted a general battle. Rigler and Herzog will appear in the Police Court here Monday to prosecute each other, they said. St. Louis won from the visitors S to 6.

L 7 Jky fir- I -t) JOB HELD NO CINCH Matty Points Out Big League Stars Have Worries. SOME INSTANCES CITED Ballplayer's Cinch Is Called Like That of Xegro Hired to Stand on Stage While Apple Is Shot Off of His Head. BT CHRISTT MATHEWSON. The Giants' Star Pitcher. NEW YORK. May 1. (Special.) "It is pretty soft to be a ballplayer. Tou Just have to work a couple of hours each afternoon," declared a fan as he oozed through the turnstile for the opening of . the' baseball season at the Polo Grounds, last Wednesday. He was an early comer, and I overheard his remark as I was golnsr upstairs to the clubhouse to dress for the first game. That is the general impression, it is "soft" to be a big leaguer. It would be a revelation to most followers of the sport if they could know how Cobb and Collins and Lajoie and Wagner and even I feel. The season has barely started, is only four or five days old now, and yet I'll bet many a big leaguer has done enough worrying for six months already. It is not the two hours' work which counts. There are many soft posi tions. If they are to be measured by the amount of time required. Negrro'a Cinch Job Cited. Playing baseball is like the colored citizen who thought he had a cinch job. "Do you want something easy?" asked a friend, who was familiar with the inherent ffidolence of the man. "I know how you can make $3 a day and work only 10 minutes altogether." "It sounds good to me," declared the job seeker. "Come around to the vaudeville the ater this afternoon for the matinee performance and you can go to work." The citizen of the same hue as Jack Johnson reported. He was told to stand in the wing3 until called for. He stayed there checked while an an nouncer informed the audience about the etar of the act. Apple to Be Shot Off Head. "He is the greatest pistol shot in the world," asserted the "Joe" Humphries of the piece. "First he will demon strate his skill by hitting the bullseye of these targets. Then he will prove his nerve by shooting an apple off this man's head at 15 paces." The newly-hired man for the cinch job was led out on the stage. He took one look around. Then he abruptly asked: "Who's goin" to shoot what off who's head?" Right there he resigned from the easy job, and he left the stage door open as he went out. Most sinecures are that way, they have a disagreeable "kick" concealed somewhere about them. Cobb Dare Not Fall Down. Ty Cobb has led the batters of the country for several seasons, and he cannot afford to fall down on the high standard he has set. As soon as he does, the cry which is the dread of all ballplayers sweeps the country: "Cobb is going back." Ty, therefore, faces the job of lead ing the league again or being met with the howl of the fans. He is looking ahead to a long; hard season, and don't let any one tell you he doesn't worry about it. A man of his temperament Is bound to fret. He is constantly fig uring how to beat the ball and keep up his batting average. This figuring is what makes the job hard, not the two hours a day spent at it. Walter Johnson pitched ball last sea son which would have satisfied most men, but he did not do as well as he had done in previous years, not quite. A newcomer would be a star on John son's showing last season. His twirl ing before last Summer had been al most euperhuman. it was so airtight. The howl went up that Walter John son was going back, and. believe me, a pitcher hates that howl. I know, for I have heard it myself. . It cuts, but you can't show it. Johnson faces even a tougher test this season, for he has been the cen ter of a fight, and fans are looking for him to deliver up to the expecta tions of the salaries bantered about by both the American and Federal League magnates. "Eddie" Colllna In Tough Place. "Eddie" Collins goes to the White Sox advertised as , the highest-prtced player in baseball as far as purchase price is concerned. . IJverybody will be watching to see how he does with hie new club. Don't think that this feature has not already struck Col lins. He has got to make good or be roasted and is in .a tough position where he won't lack anything to worry about at night. The old boys like Wagner. Lajoie and myself are wondering how niucn longer we will be able to breathe big league air. The youngsters are won dering and worrying whether they will hold their jobs. Truly, the two hours a day do not represent the extent of the labor of a ballplayer. It is about as much of a cinch as the job held tem porarily by the negro. "Who's goin' to shoot what off who's head?" One man who has no worries of the game, for the present at least, is John Franklin Baker. All he has to free about is whether the onion crop In Trappe, Md., will be strong this year. But I'll bet he has done his worrying at that. He doubtless longs to feel the itch of a uniform and is figuring whether he has decided rightly. It is easy to quit in the Winter, but , hard to stay quit in the Spring. INTEREST IX BOWLIXG KEEN Noud and Patton Take Prizes at Salem Tournament. SALEM, Or., May 1. (Special.) Bowling enthusiasts gathered from the bowling centers of the Willamette Val ley for the bowling tournament here April 24-25. Noud, of Salem, won the prize for the highest individual score. Patton, of Eugene, won the prize for second high average in the complete event. Frank lyn, of Portland. led in the single events, won highest average in the complete event, and with Wilson, of Salem, took first place in the doubles. A team of "All Stars," comprised of Stokes, of Corvallis; Leeper, of Albany; Skiff, Stutesman and Freeland, of Sa lem, won the laurels in the five-man event with the "Club" team running a close second. The "Rainbow" and "Obak" teams, of Eugene, were only a few -pins behind. The "Electrics," of Salem, winners of the pennant in the Valley League for the season 1914 1915, did not play up to their usual standard. Oregon Yacht Club Notes THE Decoration day interclub re gatta, to be held at the Yacht Club, with the Motorboat .Club joining, will be the largest and most interesting that has ever been attempted on the river, according to Chairman Edward Carr, of the Yacht Club, who has been identified with the river Bports for the past 26 years. The Yacht Club has made it a fixed policy to hold a regatta each Decora tion day. This meeting has been grow ing larger and the events more varied year by year. The Motorboat Club was invited and. gladly accepted an invita tion this year to join hands. With the additional attraction of the speed boats, the fast runabouts and the cruisers from the Motorboat Club, together with their hearty co-operation, the pro gramme promises to outshine any other attempt so much that there will be no comparison. Chairman Carr asserts. The programme follows: . Men's double canoe, ladies' double canoe, men's single canoe, mixed double canoe. Class B sailing, cruiser sailing, canoe sailing, powerboat races for run (about 15 miles and over), powerboats, run (about 15 miles and under), power cruisers, speedboats, against time, and a handicap race, swimming races for men, 50-yard swimming race for women, high and fancy diving and a diving contest Yor women. The Yacht Club has an ideal location at the. Oaks for holding these regattas; the river is wide at this point and the high-water mark is reached about this time. Every event can be seen from the north end of the Oaks, and if the water reaches the proper stage the speed boat races will be held on a triangular course that will keep them in .view every minute. The Yacht Club is making all prep arations to entertain the biggest crowd that ever turned out for one of its events. In the evening there will be a dance in the clubhouse, which has lately been enlarged. Chairman Hugh Hazlett, of the en tertainment committee, is joining hands with the regatta committee. He has in hand the evening programe. An enjoyable house party was held at the club Friday night. Chairman Hazlett probably will continue holding the parties every other week. . Five hundred was played at the club on last Wednesday night. Track Itccords Smashed at Yale. NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 1. Two college records were broken in the an nual Spring track meet at Yale -today. J. W. Overton, of Nashville, Tenn., ran the two miles in 9:36 2-a, lowering the previous record by 12 seconds. Vallcan Wilkie, of New York City, bettered the quarter-mile record by two-fifths of a second, going the distance in 48 2-5 seconds. " Hatch Wins Marathon. ST. LOUIS,' May 1. Sydney Hatch, of the Illinois Athletic Club, won the an nual marathon of the Missouri Athletic Association today in 3 hours 5 minutes and 10 3-5 seconds. Answer to Query. Ty Cobb was born at Narrows, Ga., December 18, 1886. A wins. A technicality may reverse the ver dict, tut it isn't much o fa vindication. KEEFE LIES RETURN Ifew Beaver. Pitcher Feels Like He Is Back Home. PLAYER IS NOT STRANGER Man Obtained From International League Is Ex-Coaster and Kas ... Record of Being Sent TJp to -4 Major Clubs Twice. "Just like home." This was Bobby ' Keefe's answer to the question of how' it felt to be back on the Coast, yesterday al Recreation Park. Keefe is the new Beaver twlrler pro cured from the International League. The baseball lot at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets is not a strange one to Bobby. He broke into base ball in 1904 when the Tacoma club, headed by Mike Lynch, was in the Coast League and played two seasons at the local baseball battlements. He delights in telling how Jimmy Whalen used to knock the ball out over the center field fence. Keefe Ooea Up Twice. In 1906 he and Whalen were sold to the New York Yarkees, where Keefe remained for two years. He was then sent to Montreal in the International League for a three-year sojourn and after that went up again to the Cln clnati Reds to remain three years and then return to the International cir cuit. Charley Graham recommended Keefe to Mike Lynch. They both attended Santa Clara College together In Cali fornia and Keefe made a name for himself with the college team. He was born in Folsom, Cal., and still makes his home there. He la Glad to Get Back. "I am certainly glad to get back to the Coast League," said Keefe yester day. "I have had my eye on the Coast ever since I left here." Keefe is a quite unassuming sort of chap and has a fondness for talking of the Coast League when he first played in it. "Pop" Dillon was the star first sacker in the circuit at that time, he says. The new twlrler has all the marks of a well educated college man and smiled when he gave his age as 29. A few minutes' conversation with him about the National pastime will con vince one that he has more . than a passing knowledge of the game of baseball. Bulgaria plans to convert much of the territory acquired from Turkey Into a vast tobacco field, producing some of the finest and highest-priced tobacco in the world.

If the Sell woods lose they will then be tied with the loser of the East Side-West Side game for the cellar. The City League race has seen at least two teams tied for one place since the opening of the season six weeks ago. A battle for second honors will be fought this afternoon by three clubs of the City League. The Redmen, Merchants and Monarch: are all tied for second place in the league stand ing. The Piedmont Maroons will still retain the top rung of the ladder, win or lose. The battle royal will be be tween the East and West Side squads They appear to ie of about the same strength and should put up a great fight on the diamond at East Twelfth and Davis streets. Catcher Johnnie Shea, who did the receiving for the Monarchs in their first two games at Recreation Park, has been signed for the Redmen by Jack Randall, the new manager, and is slated to go behind the bat against his old teammates this afternoon. Um pire Alex Cheyenne will do the honors in this game. This will be the farewell appearance of the City Leaguers in public parks. Next week the Beavers depart south ward and the following three Sundays will be featured at Recreation Park by doubleheaders in which the four City League squads clash. At the end of the three weeks the league of ficials have announced that they hope to have at least two enclosed parks on the East Side where admittance will be charged and one game played in each every Sunday while the Beav ers hold forth at the Coast League battlements. The system of playing free games in the public parks has met with no success, according to the City League officials, but has had a tandency to cheapen the league in the eyes of the fans who patronized the games at Recreation Park. This afternoon's contest will begin at 3 o'clock, according to Secretary Harry Grayson. The probable lineups given out by the managers last night follow: Piedmont Step. rf Flsabee. 2b Henderson, 2b Doty. !h Kennedy, If Bogart, 3b Hargreaves.m Hornby, Rartholemy.c -Webb.

But Parsons was destined to hold the lead for two laps only for in the eighth lap Latta took big chances by speeding up on the nasty three-quarter-mile turn and slipped into the lead via the out side eie;e. He held good to the end but Parsons crowded him to do it in the record time of 9 minutes and 11 seconds, which Robert A. Hiller and Fred T. Merrill, the promoters of the meet, declare to be the fastest 10 miles made in competition on a Portland track, and the fastest 10 miles ever made on a one-mile dirt track in the West. After staying in fourth position seven mile-laps, Crawford sent the Schneider's Special to the third notch and kept it there until Starter C. J. Cook pulled down the final flag. Crowd Kept on Edge. The final 25-mile event also kept the crowd on edge at all stages. This time Parsons got away ahead of the field and looked a winner until Ray Lentz at the wheel of the Romano sneaked past him in the third lap on the straightaway across the field from the grandstand. Latta then led the pro cession for 11-lap announcements when Parsons again took the front for one lap only. From this point forward Latta had the race bottled up, but he did not realize until toward the end that it would be possible for him to better the record made by the same machine on the Portland track last year. "It didn't occur to me until too late that I might hang up a new record," said Lentz after the race. "During the last laps I did step on her tail a bit, but I think I can show a lot more speed tomorrow when I will be out for the bacon'." There is no question but that the Romano will travel, for Lentz made the 24th lap in. the remarkable time of 51 seconds, which is within three seconds of the track record held by Barney Oldfield. He made several laps in 52 seconds and several in S3 seconds. Car Already Haa Record. Last year thfs same car, with Percy Barnes at the helm, hung up a new world's record on the local track, cover ing the 25-mile In 22 minutes and 7 'j seconds. Later in the season Bob Bur man went him several better at Spring field, 111, by driving a Peugeot the quarter century distance in 21:37.60. In the race against time Lentz did 52 seconds with the Romano with only "seven guns" hitting. "I took it easy because I knew one of the cylinders was out of commission because of a valve adjustment," said Lentz. "When they told-me the time was as fast as 62 seconds 1 was pleasantly surprised." Latta and Lentz alternated yesterday between the wheel and mechanician duty. Fred Barsby's Velie wag never headed in the Oregon-Washington Class B event, while Forbes' Buick, Bankhead'a Pope special and Harry D. Stratton's Mercer had a pretty race for second position during the major part of the race. The Pope special, a local car, driven by H. L. Keat's electrician, finally nosed into second money and the Mercer beat the Buick to third honors. Bluebird trailed at the rear of the pro cession throughout, but it finished. Barsby was never headed in the Class B free-for-all, either. Stratton's Mer cer was in second place for three laps, but relinquished the position to the Pope. Special for the remainder of the race. Forbes' Buick was in fourth posi tion all through the race. Wright's Special was forced out of the 25-mile event for three laps with clutch trouble, but Stratton got the car THE CAPTAIN CALMS THE GOOD JUDGES FEARS SWITCH over to "Right-Gut" the Real Tobacco Chew.

HARNESS NOTES SPOKANE Is going to get in the run ning by staging a race meet at the Spokane Interstate Fair September 13 to 18. Secretary George I. Larson, of the Inland Empire city, lias sent no tices to all the leading horsemen in the Northwest asking for entries. All races will be run on the half-mile track and will be full-mile events. V. M. Anderson, of Anderson Bros., with his two famous horses, Kmbro and Jim Hill, is ready to meet the pick of the country at the Panama-Pacific In ternational Exposition meeting at San Francisco next month.
