STRENGTHS ARE COMPARED RUPERT'S TEAM REAL ONE San. 1'i-ancisco and Sees Arc ' Only Teams in League That Appear to 1 Be Somewhat Weaker Than ' Last Tear, Is Declaration. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Sac ramento. Cal., April 1. (Special.) Los .Angeles, San Francisco, then Portland appear to be the ranking- clubs in the Pacific Coast League, on the verge of the opening- of the 14th annual season Tuesday afternoon. At least this is our personal hunch. We have not seen all the clubs In action this Spring, but, after all. a casual squint at a ball team shouldn't change one's perspective much. The best way to dope a team is to consider past form, analyze to see whether its component units should improve, re main stationary, or fall away, shake thoroughly, and then you are about as close to it as you can hope to get. Seals and Beea Are Weaker. San Francisco and Salt Lake, the 1315 leaders, are the only clubs In the league which appear somewhat weaker than they were last Fall. Los Angeles and Portland, particularly, have strengthened, and. with the Oaks and Vernons also in the field with greatly augmented corps, the year 1916 por tends a closely bunched field. San Francisco possesses a sterling pitching staff, a corking outfield in Schaller, Bodie and Fitzgerald, and a fair infield weakened by the loss of Corhan and. Heilmann. The Seals near ly made a runaway race of it last year, when they were at full strength, so they should not drop altogether from caste by losing! a couple of stars. Wolverton has a team that will be easy to strengthen, so it is practically a cinch that the Seals will be in the first division the whole year through. Angels Picked as Class of Field. Down at Los Angeles Frank Chance has mustered a crjw that looks the class of the field at this writing. Tts outfield, Maggert, Wolter and Ellis, is one of the best in the league, com--bining speed with hitting and fielding ability. Its Infield, Koerner, McLarry, Fisher and Galloway, promises to gar ner more runs for the Angels than any Infield In the league. And yet the Angelic infield defen sively is very weak and if by any chance the Angels do not display win ning class at the outset. Chance is go ing to have quite a task strengthening. Los Angeles' pitching staff ranks with the Seals as the best in the league. Jack Ryan and Scoggins; Standridge, former Seal; Zabel. of the Chicago Cubs; Schoor and Hogg, of the Cubs, and several others appear to have plenty of class. Chance intends to carry 10 pitchers for the first month until the salary limit goes into effect. Beaver Catchers Satisfactory. Which brings us down to Portland! Walt McCredie's catching corps is satisfactory; his outfield, with Wilie. Southworth, Nixon and Speas. is well balanced, with plenty of offensive and defensive strength, and as three of the boys are young and coming up fast, Portland's outfield will keep the Seals and Angel horticulturists hustling all year for premiership. Offensively, Portland's infield docs not "show" alongside Los Angeles or Vernon, but some of this lost ground will be made up by superior defensive strength. Guisto at first base promises to develop Into a sensation, and Stumpf at third is likewise a heavy artil lerist Higginbotham. Lush, Noyes and Har fitad are the only twirlers who appear to be absolute certainties. Vernon Thoroughly Renovated. Vernon is another club which has been thoroughly renovated. The in field. Gleichmann. Griggs. McGaffigan and Bates, is somewhat inferior to the Angelic innerworks in offensive strength and but little, if any. stronger defensively. Bates and McGaffigan are the cJass. The outfield. Doane. Daley and Mattick, will not rank with any of the three above enumerated unless Pete T)aley comes back to the form displayed his last year with the Angels before he went to Connie Mack in the Mag gert deal. Vernon has a well-balanced pitching staff, headlined by fat old Roy Hitt. Oakland is much stronger than last season and the Elliott squad can stand even more strengthening. The pitch ing staff is well balanced Klawitter, Prough, Beer. Chabek and possibly Boyd and Pruiett being fairly con sistent workers. Oaks Don't Appear Impressive. The Oaks did not look at all impres sive as to infield until Manager Elliott secured "Lord" Kenworthy from the Feds. Kenworthy is a sloppy fielder, but is a winning player because of his great stickwork. His arm is bad at present. Barry at first, Davis at short and Barbeau at third are not up to tinuff either at bat or in defensive ability. Oakland's outfield, Gardner, Middle ton and Zimmerman, pack a good runeh. Salt Lake will have to get busy and strengthen if Blankenship hopes to be up in the race. Blank fooled the "wise acres" for several weeks last season but finally he landed in the basement and would have remained there had he not rushed Brief. Breton, Quinlan, Fit tery and several other athletes from the big leagues to check the Bees' slump. Tn our humble judgment the Bees will have to fill Gedeon's niche at sec ond with a .300 hitter and add at least one corking pitcher to the staff to keep out of the basement. Buddy Ryan's appendix removal will crionle an outfield that proved one of the best fence-busting- trios in the circuit last season. Brief at first base Is the only in fielder of superlative class and Fittery appears to be the one best flinging bet. Paste this guess in your hat and compare with the official on May 1: w. L. w. L.

FIRST BASE YET IN DOUBT, Odds Appear to Be for Autrey and Against Myers In Race for Place at Initial Sack Downs AVill Play Second. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., April 1. (Special.) It is hard to figure just what the Seals will do in the coming pennant race. Wolverton plaire a num mer of changes in the near future. The club has had a batting slump during their three-week stay here abouts. Boss Harry says that is be cause of particularly good pitching from the college boys, but it looks as if such tried-and-trne veterans as Fitz gerald, Schaller, Bodie and Downs ough': to be getting their knocks more regularly than has been the case. For one thing, of course, the players do not take these games as seriously as they would contests against the White Sox, for instance. The scores have been tight too close for comfort. as a matter of fact, and the club has not made an impressive showing. First-Base Job Is In Doubt. No one knows just who will land the first-base job either Myers or Chick Autrey, as matters look at pres ent, with Autrey the favorite in the betting. Downs, who has been doing more hitting than any other member of the team, will be at second, while Sammy Bohne will unquestionably open at short, to remain there if he can deliver the goods. Bobby Jones, called away to the sick bed of his wife. Is still absent, and Frank Gay, of Sacramento, who was with Harry Wolverton's Sacramento team for a time, is holding down third. Jones appears to bo the sensation of the club, unless he is affected by sick ness in his family, and it is rather hard luck that he cannot be here with the other members of the pennant-winning aggregation to have the finishing touches applies. Outfield Is Made I' p. Fitzgerald, Schaller and Bodie are good for the outfield, with probably Sepulveda and Block for the catching department. Both O'Brien and Harwood look good as catchers, but neither has had the experience to carry him through the long seven months' season. The pitchers are likely to pick them selves. Steen, Baum, Fanning and Couch are virtually sure to land with Perritt good for the first month or so, if not the full year. Dutch Rock has a contract that calls for Wolverton to carry him some little time at least. Joe Corbett may land, but he doesn't appear to have the control that he needs, although he gives indication of plenty of stuff on the ball. If Joe can deliver, he will be a big drawing card all around the circuit. Machold's Job Is In Danger. Ad Machold, of Sacramento, is an other novice who looks good, but it is questionable, with the present salary limit, whether it will be possible to keep him. All of which has called forth a de ire on the part of Harry Wolverton for a California state league in which these young ballplayers can be placed and dragged back if their services are required, once they have developed. It isn't likely that a state league will be in action this year, but unquestionably another season will see some such scheme in action. The club owners can well afford to. assist in the support of state league clubs with a monthly con tribution, and magnates can be located AT SEATTLE. AT VANCOUVER. AT SPOKANE. AT . TACOMA. AT BUTTE.

The Seals have kept away from their home town and, save for a couple of hundred of the faithful who were down in San Jose for a Sun day game, they have not been seen in action. There will be some new faces to parade and. with no baseball since last October, the fans are hungry for the sport. FISH PROTECTION IS ASSURED Streams In Columbia County to Be Planted and Fishing Barred. DAYTON, Wash., April 1. (Special.) The Fish Commission of Columbia County has ordered the closing of five forks of the two principal streams of the county during the fishing season this year. Fish that are large enough to be lawfully retained by fishermen do not remain in these streams, so most of those caught there have to be thrown back, anyway, and It has been deemed advisable to close them alto gether to more fully protect the young fish. These streams are to be the plant ing grounds of the fish received from the State Fish Commission this year, and this new restriction will insure their growth to maturity. Rearing ponds are to be constructed in the city park this year. Canyon City Cuts Out Election. CANTON CITY. Or., April 1. (Spe cial.) This city will be spared the ex pense of an annual city election this year, which was to have been held April 3. A mass meeting to select a ticket was advertised, but only four citizens put ira an appearance, so the present officers will be retained for another year. They are: Mayor L. Woldenberg, Councilmen Orin L. Pat terson, George H. Cattanach. J. M. Sweek. George Patterson and J. E. Marks, Recorder P. L. Chandler and Treasurer G. I. Hazeltine. another year.

TIME CALLED ON APRIL 27 Ml Clubs to Begin Training This Week With Butte Practicing at Puyallup and Great Falls Probably at Everett, Wash. BY TORTUS BAXTER. SEATTLE. "Wasn.. April 1. (Special.) The official Northwestern baseball eague schedule contains a surprise in the shortening of the season approxi mately four weeks. In past seasons the first games have, been played about April 18 and the last about September 27. This year the opening is set for Thursday. April 27, and the race will finish on Labor Day, September 4. At the recent schedule meeting there was a long argument over the length of the season. One side asserted that Interest commenced to flag early in September, while the other side took the position that it all depended upon the kind of a race. The short-season advocates carried their point and it remains to be seen whether they were right in their fig uring. Should two or more clubs come down the home stretch neck-and-neck, with th. weather favorable to the Na tional game, the directors will wish they had made use of September. Schedule Hard to Draft. It was a difficult schedule to draft. Some of the cities desired only a mod erate number of games. To meet such a requirement and at the same time look out for the climatic conditions, and; railroad expenses, was no small job. It is an easy matter to pick flaws in a schedule, but to construct one in something like the manner that a court of equity unravels a legal tangle calls for patience. The directors did the best they could under the conditions, so the cities that think they were discrim inated against should put themselves in the place of the schedule makers be fore making a "holler." By actual cotmt the schedule shows the games in the different cities as follows: Seattle. 81 (including games played by outside teams) : Vancouver, 69; Spokane, 69; Tacoma, 65; Butte, 71; Great Falls, 60. The season opens-April 27 with Butte in Seattle, Vancouver in Spokane and Great Falls at Tacoma. In past seasons the opening date has been on Tuesday, but this year it comes on Thursday, so the initial series consists of four games instead cf six. Sraon Closes September 4. The season closes September 4 with Tacoma in Seattle. Vancouver in Spo kane and Great Falls in Butte. On holidays two games will be played ty each club as usual. The distribu tion is as follows: Memorial day. Tuesday, May 30. Van couver In Seattle; Butte in Great Falls, Tacoma in Spokane. July 4. Tuesday, Vancouver in Seat tle: Spokane in Butte, Tacoma in Great Falls. Labor Day, Monday, September 4, Tacoma in Seattle; Vancouver in Spo kane, Great Falls in Butte. All of the clubs in the league will commence training next week. Seattle. Tacoma. Vancouver and Spokane will use their home grounds. Butte figures on Puyallup, and Great Falls probably OREGON ELEVEN WANTS TOUR Visit by Eastern .Team or Trip Is Proposed by Students. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. April 1. (Special.) Aroused by the action of other institutions of the Northwest scheduling football games with Hasteru institutions, and stung by the inactivity of the university man agement to get in on the cream, stu dents -are campaigning for the season to come in order to get the Oregon team east or an Eastern team west. These efforts are being made because of the advertising value that is felt will result because of the high status which Western football reached last Fall and because the students think that the university is destined to have one of the greatest teams in its his tory when the opening whistle blows next Fall. That the Oregon team will be a. good one has also been expressed by Coach Bezdek. who is counting on the mainstays of this year being back in school for the season next year. Murray Captains Stanford Track. "Peg" Murray, the famous broad jumper, of Iceland Stanford University, has succeeded "Rio" Templeton as captain of the college track team. Tem pleton quit college because of an eye affliction. ADVICE GIVEN ANGLERS STAGE PROVIDES TRANSPORTATION TO M'KEX7.IK RIVER. Arthur Hendersbot, of Enrcnr, Writes of Best Way to Reach Fish ing; Grounds. Fishermen who contemplate taking the trip up the McKenzie River in quest of game fish will be benefited by the contents of a letter from Arthur Hen dershot. of Eugene. Or., to W. E. "Dick" Carlon, manager of the sporting goods department of Meier & Frank Co. There are two automobile stages a day leaving Eugene. 6:30 A. M. and 12:30 P. M. except Sundays, as far as Carey Thompson's. The 6:30 stage goes through to the McKenzie bridge, Foley and Belknap Springs. In case of too much rain, horse stages are used to make the trip to Thompson's. The 12:30 P. M. stage goes to the Thompson place only. The Southern Pacific train leaves daily, to Oakridge from Eugene at 2:30 o'clock P. M.

Twelve teams are represented in the league this year and they have been divided into six sections, the winner of each section playing until all except two are eliminated, and then these two tangling for the etip. 'Caek" Blanchard, Who Is Playing at First, Is One of Greatest Field ing Inficlders Ever developed in This District. The 1916 baseball season will be offi cially ushered in this afternoon when the Baby Beavers and the Bradford East Siders clash at Recreation Park. Twenty-fourth and Vaushn-strects at Z:30 o clock. Both clubs are members of the Inter-City Baseball League. which looks at this stage of the game to be n evenly balanced circuit. Sheriff Tom M. Hurlburt will toss the first ball to George L. Baker. City Commissioner. Judge W. W. -McCredie. resident of the Portland baseball club; President Fred N. Bay. of the Inter City League: Doc Anderson and all the dyed-in-the-wool fans will be on hand to get the initial taste of the Na tional pastime for the 1916 season. The Baby Beavers, who represent the West Side, are headed by no less a personage than Clyde J. "Red" Rupert, one of the best-known semi-professional skippers in the Northwest. Real Ball Club Lined In. "Red'' has a real ball club lined up and is already out with the prediction that he will cop the Inter-City League bunting. "Fly" Feichtinger will do the re ceiving for the Baby Beavers and "Lefty" Ileiman and Anderson, a nw player in Portland circles, will be de pended upon to do the heaving. Feichtinger caught for Rupert's Mon archs last season for awhile. He is a scrappy ballplayer. Heiman twirled for Sellwood last year and has the earmarks of a promising twirler. "Cack" Blanchard at first; Hut on second; Lester Ingles on third and Watts covering the short patch com prise Rupert's infield. Blanchard Great at Firldins:. Blanchard is the greatest fielding first baseman ever developed in local "bush league" circles. He looks and acts like Harry Heilmann. now with Detroit, except for the fact that he hits from the opposite side of the rub ber. Hut played with the McMinnville. Or., clan last Summer and formerly cavorted for the Oregon Aggies. Ingles is a great fielder but trifle erratic at times. Watts is the best fielding shortstop in the Portland dis trict and if he gets to whanging the pellet this season will land a job in organized ball. "Brownie" Groce, "Lonpy" Lind and Peterson comprise the Baby Beavers' outfield. Manager Ernie Taylor, of the Brad fords, who represent the East Side of the Willamette, has on paper one of the classiest looking clubs gathered to gether in semi-professional circles for a long time. Here is the probable line up which will start today's affair for him: Charley Bleeg and Clarence Decker, catcher: "Skin" Campion, pitcher; Ed Kennedy, first base; Fritz Cohen or Perlc Casey, second base; Charley Moore. shortstop: Wallace Childcrs. third base: Perle Murray, cen ter field: Chuck Edwards, left field, and Bill Stepp. right field. There is a question as to whether or not Casey is eligible, owing to not being signed for long enough a period. A glimpse over Taylors crew dis plays the fact that there are several asoned veterans in the lineup. hd Kennedy, Perle Casey. Charley Moore, Wallace ' Childers. Perle Murray and Bill Stepp know the game from A to Z and are all reported in fine shape. Harry Grayson will umpire this after noon's contest. MOXTA VILLA AT WOODBURN Xorth Marlon County Fans Will Welcome League Baseball. WOODBURN, Or., April 1. (Special.)

It has been quite a number of years ince Woodburn fans havo. had the pleasure of witnessing league baseball. Manager Huddleson has gathered to gether a bunch of players that will re mind the old-timers of the good old days when the Tri-City League flourished in this city, some of them being members of that famous team which brought the pennant to Woodburn. Here are some promising players who have affixed heir signature to contracts and whom Manager Huddleson will use tomorrow: alentine. hite.
