Coast. Murray Sold to Spokane. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Walt McCredie's new athletes. Bates, Hillyard. Stumpf and Carlsch, appear to have made good and, unleBS these birds aro shooting away over their heads. It will not bo long before Port land is back up battling with - the Coast leaders. Infielder Reed, of the Phillies, hasn't had any chance to show his class, and to a certain extent the same is true of the veteran Rochester twirler, Bobby Keefe. If Bates hits as well as he lid In the American Association last year nobody need worry much about either Reed or Rod Murphy. What the Beav ers needed was a timely thump here and there in the box score and if Bates Is able to deliver said thump there will be no keeping the Mackmen down. Stumpf, at secondV is Just about on a par with Rodgers of last year's club. He seems to bt there in the pinches. While not a sensational performer In the field and at times rather listless. In his demeanor, second base seems well cared for. Of course, Bobby Davis will hardly measure up to Dave Bancroft at short, unless he begins climbing soon. Which brings us back to the third base situation. This has been the key to the local situation all Spring. Kores hit in a raft of runs last year and when Mack tried to fill the shoes of the emptyrheaded but hard-batting Kores with Bobby Coltrln the combina tion couldn't hope to get by. Bobby could stand still and field bis posi tion better than Kores. but he Just couldn't connect safely In the pinches. In- nearly four weeks with the club Coltrln drove In only one run and he was up with the bases loaded more often than any other man on the club. So we repeat. If Bates keeps up his batting streak, the Beavers can be counted upon as pennant factors from this time on. Bates, It develops, did not cost Portland one penny as he was released outright by the Clevelarwds. The day after he signed with Portland he received a message from Louisville offering him a Job subbing for Midkilt, who had broken one of his legs. George Klrcher's signing with Aber deen during the week probably ends this young comedy vender's career in the Paciilc Coast League. It was brief but meteoric and George left more laughs rippling in the breeze than all the Dockslauters and Joe Millers that ever crossed the Columbia. McCredie secured him during the Winter from Atlanta, Ga., in trade for Koy Moran. Klrcher didn't get much chance to show here, but he didn't shine at any time. In fact, on one or two occasions he looked bad in the outfield. There was considerable sympathy spread around for the little "funny coacher," but Mack did the only thing left for him to do. The team was slumping and Klrcher didn't look to be the type of athlete capable of stopping a slump. On a winning club he could drift along and hold his own and would look good. On a losing team well, he didn't seem to be sufficiently tempered to stand the gaff. Klrcher has hit .270 all his life and ought to get by against the Northwest League pitching. Dan Murray, ex-Portland Colt catch er, was sold yesterday by Portland to the Spokane Indians. Murray was scheduled to be second string catcher for the Portland Coasters this year, but when he took down with the mug wumps in one of his eyes. Mack had to go East and corral Fred Carisch. Carisch is catching such great ball that there isn't a chance for Murray to ease him out of a berth now that he is con valescent. ... Speaking of catchers. Boles of Los Angeles and Carisch of Portland, ap pear to possess the steely whips of the circuit. These are the only two re ceivers who have thrown out more run nera than have registered steals against them so far in the race. Boles has delivered a coroner's card to 17 and has had 11 steals. Carisch's record is 10 and 7. Gus Fischer, of Port land, ranks third, with 13 and 11, then Kuhn of Oakland and Hannah and Rohrer of Salt Lake. So far as throwing is concerned. Schmidt of San Francisco, Elliott of Oakland and Mitze of Venice are about on a par for the booby prize. Twenty five thefts have been registered against each one of the trio. Beumiller, the new Lo Angeles third Backer, doesn't size up as any clou relative of Mr. J. Rabbit or Mr. B. Hound on first appearance. But this castoff from the Louisville club of the American Association must have some kangaroo blood in his veins, for all of that. Thus far In the season Beumiller has not once been thrown out by rival catchers. He has attempted eight thefts and has been adjudged safe on every occasion. Jimmy Johnston, of the Oaks world's champion . base stealer, by the way stole 13 bases in the first four weeks and was thrown out only three times. If you will please set yourself for a shock we'll spring some more of this base-stealing dope on you. What's coming concerns Ping Bodie, the hefty and likewise rotund gentle man who performs in the outfield for ean Francisco. Ping has never been noted for winning foot races with any. thing but brewery wagons, yet Ping ranks right up next to Jimmy John ston as one of the dangerous base runners of the Coast League. The ei Chlcagoan has swiped 12 bases and has been thrown out only three times. Answers to Queries.

The "TyCobb of the Federal League" caused no end of consternation re cently by appearing in a game at the Polo Grounds in a Giant uniform. The Braves, who were playing the Giants at that time, protested the game and a lively time ensued. President Tener, of the National League, refused to permit him to play. Kauff said that he was transferred from the Indianapolis club to the Brooklyn club in the Federal League and never signed a contract with the latter team. According to reports the former Federal Leaguer was to get 110,000 a year lor playing with the Giants. BRAVES FINISH FUST Giants Take Lead in 1 1 th Only to Lose in Same Inning.

NEW YORK, May 3. T,he euchre un der the auspices of the St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church at the Grand Central Palace was over, and an excellent orchestra started the one step from "Chin Chin." All about stood young couples and some not so young. Longingly they looked at the polished floor and then their eyes would inevitably go back to the pro gramme held in hand, and they would read on the outer cover: "In deference to the wishes of the fathers, our guests are requested to dance only the waltz and two-step. The floor committee will see that this request is obeyed." The dance was half over when two girls, about 16 years old, stealing a sly glance at the Rev. Thomas F. White, S. J., the rector, glided out to the floor. They did their best to be old-fashioned, but habit was too mufch. In a second they were off in the one step. ' In a moment, a large, well set up, gray .haired man, resembling Father White in a marked degree, walked out with, apparently, his wife. They made no attempt at waltzing or two-stepping. They glided away as the girls had done. It was only a few minutes later that, seeing that the floor committee was not overactive, other couples took a chance, crowding the big floor. A hesitation waltz followed, and still 0 - Vlf ! Father White stood by without a word, though apparently Interested. The col lapse of the resolution to stick to the dancing of yesteryear came 'when a young man and his partner swung out on the floor to the tune of "I Want to Linger," a fox trot, i As they trotted down the center of the floor, all eyes turned toward Father White. The priest stood for a moment, watched, and, his face breaking into smiles, etarted to applaud the graceful dancing of the young pair. That was enough. In a moment chair was abandoned and the original couple were' lost to view in the crowd that swarmed to the floor. Father White retired to his box with an ex pression that said plainly: "What's the use." BONDS DISCOURAGE JITNEY Fargo Car Owners Facin"g $2 0 0 Costs Go Back to Taxi Service. FARGO, N. D., May 4. Unless the City Commission decides to accept low er bonds there will be no Jitney service in Fargo. The Commission required a license tax of $50 and a $10,000 bond for each Jitney under five passengers and $75 for cars above five passengers. The bonds would cost practically $200 a year in addition to the license, and the operators concluded they could not compete with the streetcars on such a basis. Most of the Jitneys that have been operating have been reconverted into taxes under another ordinance that re quires a license of $25, but no bonds. Three Beavers Far Outclass Famous Buddy Ryan. , Derrick, Stumpf and Speas Drive In Runa When .ffdtd Sack Ness, of Oaks, Heads League. NOBODY is so beloved on a ball team as the pinch-hitter. Buddy Ryan was a hero in the eyes of Portland fandom a few years ago because of his great batting with men on bases and a run or two needed to win. Buddy is still a mighty swatter, even though wearing Salt Lake livery; yet would you be lieve it, Walter Mc Credie has three batters who far outclass the famous "Home-Run" Buddy this year. These men are Ftprriplf Stumnf u n i S p e a s, and Gus Fisher ties Buddy, although not in one-half the num ber of games. Fred Derrick. Big Jack Ness, of Oakland, is the pinch-hitter star of the league so far this year, having driven In 22 runs. Jimmy Johnston, his teammate, is his nearest rival, at 17, and Fred Derrick, of Portland, ranks third, with 16. Gedeon, of Salt Lake: Stumpf, of Port land, and Ping Bodle are tied for fourth, with 15 runs apiece driven in. Maggert, of Los Angeles, and Bayless, of Venice, lead their teams in pinch hitting.
