SNAPSHOTS V THREE BEAVERS STAR Ball Met With Good, Solid Thumps in Practice Game. QUINN CRACKS 3 ON NOSE fioutbwortli, With Homer and Two Doubles, Makes McCredle Glad. C. Blgbee Plays Big Part. Jfoyes in Fine Form. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Sac ramento, Cal., March 18. (Special.) Verdun would be easy with Billy Southworth on the attack. The wizard little outfielder exuded, two doubles and a. home run over the right field fence today and largely contributed to another victory for the Portland club over St. Mary's College. Score: Port land 8. St. Mary's 4. Owen Quinn's startling reincarnation. If you might term it such, likewise was an event of the rather dampish after noon. Alongside of Quinn today Biff Louis Guisto was a selling plater. Louis developed somewhat of a weakness on low curves on the inside and five times he strode to the plate , without the garlic odor of a hit. Once Louis was. up with the bases full, and the best he could produce was. an infield flound er. Wynn Noyes fanned him both times he faced him. Meanwhile his southpaw first sack rival, Quinn, was busy living up to his advance notices. Two of his three hits were line smacks not extra-base clouts but such singles as Chester Chadbourne used to produce in the days before the Feds came in and took him from us. Quinn allowed himself to get nabbed off first base on two occasions. The ump was wrong on one. On the whole the Syracuse first baseman gave a sat isfactory exhibition. Carson Bigbee at short was another luminary. The Oregon lad walked twice, belted in a score with a long sacrifice fly. and, on his other trip, doubled to center. In addition "Skeet" pilfered a couple of bases off the St. Mary's battery men. Wynn Noyes and Reese Peek the latter a Sacramento semi-professional phenom pitched for the Beavers against two right-handers and a southpaw named Whelan. "Whelan was the best of the trio. Quinn se cured one of the two hits off him in the four innings he worked, but other left-handed batters like Southworth, Lyle Bigbee and Hollacher could not fathom his hooks. Noyes fanned six men,. Irt his three Innings and allowed one hit. He was a trifle wild, but effective. All four of the St. Mary's runs accrued during Peek's occupancy of the box. Two walks and a double filled the bases In the fifth Inning. One run scored on an out and two more registered on Lutge's triple to left. St. Mary's scored another in the eighth on a walk and a single. As a spectacle the game abounded In such thrills as one might expect at a missionaries' convention. The Coast Leaguers amassed five runs in the first three frames, and took away all the zest for the small scattering of fans. Quinn's single, Southworth's double and "Skeet" Bigbee's sacrifice counted two in the first inning. Derham's sin gle and theft and Noyes' two-bagger added another In the second. South worth injected a dash -of "pep" into the affray in the next Inning by poling the horsehide into somebody's turnip patch beyond the right wall. Carson Bigbee's double steal of third and Stumpf's sacrifice contributed another score in this stanza. Stumpf later whacked a double into center and scored two more tallies in the fifth and it was Stumpf's single in the sev enth that added the final registration. Bartholomy, Black, Lyle, Bigbee, Hollacher and Derham youthful re cruits were in the Beaver lineup and got by without casualties. St. Mary's will close the series to morrow.

SACRAMENTO, Cal., Portland Train ing Camp, March 18. (Special.) Only two catchers will be carried by the Portland Coast Club after the first three weeks of the season. These tv will undoubtedly be Gus Fisher and Homer Haworth, both left-handed bats men. Three others were on the staff at present, Al Bartholemv. Portland semi-professional; Arthur Black, a San Francisco recruit, and Fish, who is training out with the Philadelphia Na tionals. Black likely will be released outrie-ht or "farmed" somewhere, and Fish has been ordered to stay with the Phils. MeCredie practically has rietr)ri keep Bartholemy until the Beavers go north to open at Portland April 18. Then or thereabouts he will be trans- ierrea to Spokane to Nick Williams' custody. Of course. Mack intends to Icap,ti n string on Bart, for ne youngster looks promising. iart was the boy who made his debut for Portland last Fall in the inter-league game at Seattle when Port land gave Seattle such a severe lacing. He caught great ball that frrnr,r.n and as a chaser belted a two-base swat over Hunky Shaw's head and scored one oi jr-ortiand's tallies. OAKS GET FIRST TEST TODAY Lineup Against Vallejo Likely to Be That of Opening Game. BOTES SPRINGS. CaL. March 18. (Special.) The "Live Oaks" will In dulge in their ffrst practice game of tne season tomorrow afternoon, when they will oppose a semi-pro team from Vallejo. This will afford the fans the first real chance to get a line on the 1916 Oaks in battle formation. Sharp infield praetice was indulged in morning and afternoon and the out fielders also had good workouts at each session. Lane, the newcomer, appeared in a uniform today and worked with the outfielders. The "Oaks" all aver they are In the pink of condition" , and each member of the team expresses a desire for the first actual pennant battle to roll around. The lineup for the Sunday game will probably be the regular bitting order of the Oaks in the first series at SaU Lake. Barbeau's cut finger mended sufficiently for him to appear both workouts today and he will be in the lineup tomorrow. 1 StJf BRIXGS OUT TRACK MEX Athletes at Willamette University Rapidly Rounding to Form. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem Or.. March 18. (Special.) The good weather of the last few days has been putting the track men in good condi tion. Every night a fair-sized num ber are out taking regular work, and after Spring vacation it is thought a large number of new men will begin to show up. At present the following men seem to be lined up for the dashes: Small Bynon Ford, Steeves. The 440 men are Grosvenor. Attebury and Priddy. Jack son, Stewart. Kelty. Wilson, Mann and Rahskoff are the distance men, and Sparks, a freshman and an athlete of all-around ability, seems to be the best bet for the pole vault. The weights will be taken care of by Tobie, Ray mond. Archibald and "Tubby" Hen dricks. , ROOKIES AND &J77 WILIE IS STRANDED Player Fails to Get Transpor tation at Waco, Tex. S0TH0R0N IN MUDDLE, TOO McCredles May Get Rhoades From Phillies Dave Gregg to Get Chance With Spokane; Deal Is on for Aggie Star. Judge W. W. MeCredie received a telegram from Outfielder D. E. Wilie yesterday afternoon from his home in Waco, Tex. It was that he had not as yet received his railroad ticket and asked that the local magnate send Instructions. Instead of telegraphing Wilie, Judge MeCredie got after the railroad company, which promised to have the ballplayer's fare delivered at once. This puts a "crimp" in Walt McCre die's idea that the crack gardener would be on the Job at Sacramento to day. He undoubtedly got started Sacramento-ward yesterday, or will today. Pitcher Allen Spthoron is another hopeful who has had trouble pocketing his carfare. The Portland jurist can't get any information from the railroad company regarding the situation. The company doesn't seem to be able to find out whether the youthful flinger has received it or not. Word was received by Judge MeCredie from Sothoron, who is in Dayton, O., early last week saying that his ticket wasn't there. The McCredles telegraphed him the ticket one week ago last Tuesday. ' Sothoron Appears Confident. "Sothoron Is a youngster and must feel confident of making the team for he "is not in camp and we have received no word from him for the past few days. He had better hurry out and get in shape or else maytind it dif ficult to hold a place." said Judge Me Credie yesterday. When asked whether or not Walter MeCredie would accept Pitcher Rhoades, of ihe Philadelphia Nationals who is reported as going to be turned over to Portland within two weeks, the Portland owner said: "Walter MeCredie received a tele gram from the Philadelphia manage ment offering us Rhoades while en route to the Sacramento training camp. Walter returned a tentative accept ance, asking the Phillies to hold Rhoades until" April 1. That date is only two weeks away and I presume that if the Portland staff doesn't look formidable by that time, or in case Sothoron doesn't show up, he will grab the twirler who finished last season with the National League champions. However, Walter is in no way com pelled to take him April 1. it is en tirely up to him." Rhoades' Record Is Good. Pitcher Rhoades is a big right hander and was with Milwaukee in the American Association last year. He worked in 22 games, won seven and lost nine and proved one of the most effective slab artists in the league, as revealed by the earned run com pilation. Rhoades allowed only 2.57 runs a game, which with a good club behind Kauff lfll Bridgeport 1912 Hartfurd 1B12 Brockton Hi I:; Hartford 1U14 Indianapolis llG Brooklyn Totals. 623 REGULARS AT St. fiim should have been sufficient to win about 70 per cent of his starts. He was switched over in the latter part of the season, to the Phillies. Dave Gregg, whose ticket was taken up by the Portland management when he did not call for it promptly at Clarkston, Wash., will get a chance with Spokane if he wants it. Manager Nick Williams, of the Indians, an nounced this yesterday. Ed Kennedy, who played semi-professional ball with the Piedmont Ma roons in the City League last season, has been eigned by President F. C. Farr, of Spokane. It was Farr's intention to use Big Ed in the outfield and to fill in at first base in a pinch. George Varnell recommended him to Spokane. Nick Williams has made it known that he only wishes to have youngsters on the Spokane roster this year, and Eddie may find it tough pickings. Ken nedy has been employed during the past Winter as special agent for the North Pacific Terminal Company. Nick may try to get Walter Nurgan, Oregon Aggie shortstop, to Join his squad at the end of the school year in June. ROIiLEIt HOCKEY IS IX FAVOR Everett-Street Boys Practice Hard for Rose Festival Event. Practice is being enforced by the youthful manager of the Everett street roller hockey team daily. This team will meet an all-star aggregation on Sixth street between Washington and Alder streetsduring the Rose Festival. The boys average between 13 and IS years of age.

Following are all the members of the Everett-street club: Bill Collins. Freddy Collins, Dave Wright, James Lynch, Richard Duffy. Lawrence Smith. Lewis Coulter, Bob Hawkins, George Brown, Orville Boyles and Fred Paget. As only seven can play at a time, this ag gregation carries quite a squad. BOB VAUGHX GROWS NERVOUS Beaver Holdout Has Xo Inkling of What Will Become of Him. . TACOMA, March 18- (Special.) Robert Vaughn, second baseman for the St. Louis Feds last season, is still up a treo and out on a limb, for he is not certain as to what he will do this sea son. He has heard nothing from the East, and present negotiations with Manager MeCredie, of the Portland club, have been discontinued. Vaughn declares that the only way he will talk business with MeCredie is under condition that the latter take the Federal League contract into consider ation. Vaughn asserts that MeCredie ignored this feature of the deal en tirely. At present Vaughn is aiding his father in the latter's campaign for a place on the City Commission. MISS BJURSTEDT KEEPS TITLE Famous Tennis Player Takes Indoor Finals in Straight Sets. NEW TOKK, March 18.

NIXON MAKES IMPRESSION Dunn, Recruit Rlght-Handcr, Joins Beavers Wilie, Sothoron and Vaughn Are Now Only Men in List of Missing. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Sac- mento, Cal.. March 18. (Special.) Three of the near-losts of the Portland squad reported to Manager MeCredie today Irve Higginbotham, veteran pitcher: Billy Nixon, new outfielder secured from Cleveland, and Dunn, a dark-haired Irish husky who hails from Kansas City. Dunn is a right handed pitcher of the semi-pro specie. He is a protege of Bill Armour. Nixon was out in uniform In the afternoon' and favorably Impressed everybody with his actions. He some what resembles Roy" Moran, former Sacramento outfielder, although shorter and more stockily built. He hit .293 last year in the American association. "First time In my ball career I finished below .300," said he. Higginbotham, as usual, reported in condition. Dennis Wilie, outfielder; Sothorn, pitcher from St. Louis, and Bobby Vaughn, infielder, are the members from the squad still missing. Players in camp are eagerly awaiting the out come ' of the muddle between Vajighn and the St. Louis club. He is needed to round out the Beaver infield. There is some talk of cancelling the proposed series with Santa Clara Col lege. If so, Portland will take on a local team known as the Lavensons next Saturday and Sunday. Only four games will comprise the series with the Chicago colored giants; dates March 30, 31 and April 1 and S. Cullen. outfielder, was not in uniform today. Cullen turned his ankle against St. Mary's Friday and was ordered to take a rest. MUFFED FLY LETS SEALS WTX Perritt, Couch and Machold Tonched for Seven Hits by Santa Clara. SAN JOSE, Cal., March' 18. (Spe cial.) Except for an error by Center Fielder Milburn, of Santa Clara, this afternoon a dropped ball at the end of a hard sprint the Seals would have been returned losers instead of win ners in their first outside competition for 1916. That miscue was mighty costly, for, with two tucked away, the ballooning came into evidence. Roy Bliss, the college southpaw, went to pieces and seven runs crossed the plate. It left the San Franciscans sliding along comparatively easy, and they won by a score of- 8 to 3. Melhoff, a husky right-hander, had a spitter that was breaking nicely, and held the Coast Leaguers to but one run and a scratchy infield hit for the remainder of the Journey. Score: ' R H. E. R. H.

Mickey LaLonge Advises Ixlng Infield er at Third, but MeCredie Say Stumpf Will Be There. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP. Sac-J ramento, Cal., March 18. .(Special.) Pacific Coast League fans are due to glimpse the greatest all-around bunt artist in the world when Bobby Vaughn. Portland's new second-sacker, trots into action. At least this is Mickey LaLonge's size-up of the situation. Mick has played in nearly every league under the sun, from the Epworth to the I. O. U., and is entitled to consideration as a modern Solomon in things pertaining to the diamond. "Vaughn was on the same, club with me at Buffalo two years ago," ex plained the former Coast League back stop the other day, as he watched the Beavers unlimber here. "I don't think he has a peer as a bunter in the game. He can lay one down the third-hase line and make the ball stick out Its tongue and cross its heart and do all sorts of funny little stunts." LaLonge declares ttfat Vaughn Is a good hitter, but a trifle spike shy in tagging runners. "Of course, he is a little fellow with small hands, and he has to be careful." added LaLonge. "Up there he played third base, and I should think MeCredie would use him at third." Manager Walt intends to use him at second., however. If he reports, for he says Stumpf is a corking good man on hard-hit balls and only mediocre on slow, grounders rolled to him when playing second. Johnny Lush put In one year on the Montreal club with Vaughn three or four seasons ago. SEALS WANT FARM Wolverton Deplores Lack of State League for Rooks. COAST WILL LOSE STARS Block Says Angel Infield Is Better. on Paper Than in Play Big Six Steen Picked to Lead All Pitchers in League. SAN FRANCISCO, March IS. (Spe cial.) Harry Wolverton is lamenting that there Isn't a stato league or at least some minor league to take care of the young talent that Coast League) clubs cannot use. "I haven't a ballplayer here at San Jose with me." he explained. who doesn't appear to have a promising fu ture. At the same time, since we will go through with no more than 16 players, I will be forced to cut 'the squad in two. I simply can't hold fast to a lot of ballplayers who ought to develop and the chances are they will be lost to us for all time. If we had a minor league we could place these youngsters where we could watch them." Anicrl Infield Belittled. George Block, the San Francisco catcher, is well acquainted with soma of the new infielders with the Los An geles club, but he predicts that tha champs have nothing about which to worry. "On paper," he said, "the Angels look like a heavy hitting aggregation, but we don't have to bother. At least that is my impression from what I remem ber of these same boys in the Western League. Koerner will likely outhit Autrey or Myers at first, but will not field with Autrey. Jerry Downs will bat better than Polly McLarry, who, I must admit, is a great fielder. Fisher, their shortstop, I only knon? by repu tation, but I like Duckey Jones better at third 'than Rapp, the Western Leaguer over whom they are raving so much. Rapp is a grand ielder but that lets him out." Steen In Good Shape. Block is also willing to hazard tha opinion that Big-Six Steen will be the leading pitcher in the Pacific Coast League this season. Steen certainly appears to be in good shape, conler ing that he hasn't seen a ball game since last Spring. He has been doing some bowling, however, and that haa likely kept him in good shape. Henry Berry is here and threatens to remain during the entire training sea son. Hen got into uniform, true to promise, the first day out. but he weakened later in the week and nom inated and elected himself as chairman of tne reception committee and head of the Baseball Greeters. At that. Berry has made a lot of friends and it will do his team no harm when the San Joseans happens to visit San Fran cisco during the next half year. BASEBALL CAPTAIXS CHOSEN1 Leaders for Sunday Morning Game Teams to Select Lineups. William J.
