BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON.

April 20. (Special.) With Manager
Fisher out of the game today on ac
count of a spralnea back, the Yanni
gans managed to turn the tables on
the Regulars, score, 5 to 3, in a battle
that was replete with sensational
plays and hard hitting by the Yanni-
jrans.
Clew, the Bend cherub, twirled tne
entire game for the Yannigans and let
the regulars down with seven safe
swats, striking out four a'nd issuing
two bases on balls. Clow is a veritable
glutton for work and says he can
pitch every day in the week and twice
on Sunday
Rapp and Mitchell hurled for the
regulars. Feuerborn broke into the
game as a catcher for the Regulars and
handled himself nicely. .oDoay at

Judge McCredie and Manager Fisher.
The regulars started out like winners
in the fourth, when Dempsey singled
and went to second when Lee walked
Dempsey took a big lead off second and
Holiocher dropped Clow s throw, Demp
sey taking third. Cox singled, scoring
Dempsey and Lee.

Holiocher singled, scoring McKinley.
The yannigans peppered up and took
the lead In the fifth, when Teck dou
bled and scored on Peterson's single.
Second Baseman ShoUp held the ball
after the throw in and caught Teck
napping Ave feet away from the bag,
but Teck managed to get back to the
cushion while the umpire was sound
asleep and was not called out. Then
Pembroke kissed the pellet for two
bags, scoring Peterson.
Cox scored the third and final tally
for the regulars in the seventh, when
he doubled to left and scored on Feuer-
born's single to the same spot.
Mitchell hopped in a fast one In. the
eighth inning that Bourg clicked for a
home run, putting the game on "Ice"
for the yannigans.
Double plays were frequent today,
the yannigans getting away with three,
while the regulars chalked up two.
McCredie I Satisfied.
Judge McCredie is satisfied with the
showingvof his players and is confident
the Buckaroos will finish well up in
the Pacific Coast International race.
McCredie is much impressed with the
work of Pitcher Clow and the Bend
youngster may land a job as a regular.
Second Baseman Haney and Third
Baseman Altermath are expected in
tomorrow night.
Judge McCredie and the sporting
writers will leave for Portland' after

through with baseball. He intends to
devote his time to his farm in Indiana
and will not report to the Kansas City
club.
Another major league ball tosser has
arrived in France. Mike Menowsky has
landed 'Over There" where Hank Gow
dy, Sherrod Smith, Harry Grant, Harry
Mccormick and others were already
working.
Rumor has It that Ham Hyatt, for
many years noted as a pinch hitter
with the Pirates, and now In the mi
nors, is wanted oy a certain major
league club to fill a similar role.
.
It is figured that Connie Mack picked
up a valuable pitcher in Scott Perry.
the former Southern League star. Perry
was with the Cubs late in the 1916 sea
son, but played Independent ball last
season.
The Boston Red Socks pitchers. Tan
kee catchers and infield and the Detroit
outfield would make quite a ball club;
good enough for any league. What?
m
After Alexander joins the Army' the
Cubs will have a tough time trying to
stay In the first division.
Sam Crawford's playing has been the
sensation of the early games of the Pa
cific Coast League race. The former
Tiger is stationed in right field for the
Los Angeles club.
Gregg and Myers will be the leading
pitchers of Connie Mack's staff this
season.

MARSHFIELD, Or., April 20. tSpe-
clal.) After three years without any
baseball, 1918 will see four and pet
haps more fast teams in the field in
Coos County and likely a league of at
least four units. . Powers has already
put two nines into play and staged its
tirst game on a recent Sunday, when
the town aggregation defeated the
soldiers 8 to 7.
The shipbuilding and logging bulge
has brought many expert players into
this territory and as the season ad
vances different industrial establish
ments are tuning up their ballplayers
and preparing to organize teams. The
Coos Bay Shipbuilding force of 600
men is being canvassed for players and
Coach Cal Langworthy finds the yard
will produce an amazing number of
aspirants for places.
The Kruse & Banks shipyard is like
wise considering the sport and select
ing men for its organization. . From all
industrial centers there is assurance
of earnestness and every establishment
is hrhting of semi-professional and
league men being available. v
One section of the county has sev
eral men who have played In the South
ern league and there is a liberal dis
trlbution of sandlot and city league
men in other quarters.

Sam Crawford has made a fine start

'the first game that he. worked.

Both Bert Shotton and John Lavan

the Spring games of the Washington

stole several bases.
Many of the Cincinnati players had

big indoor military and open field meet
to be held In the Ice Palace at Portland
April 26. Men will be entered in every
event, with the possible exception of
the shotput. It is understood here that
a 12-pound shot is to be used, and if
this is the case. Coach Pipal Is not sure
that he will enter any man in that
event, as the 16-pound shot Is the only
one used In intercollegiate meets,, and
the meet with University of Oregon is
only a week away.
Green, Carter and Mattox will be the
entries in the sprints. Scea will be the
entry in the 440-yard run in all prob
ability. Captain Coleman will take

With the second week of Interscho-
lastic baseball over, Washington High
School is leading the league with three
wins and no defeats and seems to have
an edge on the championship race, but
as the East Side team has six games
yet to play, it is too early to predict
who will win the coveted play. Up to
date Washington has met and trimmed
James John, Christian Brothers and
Columbia. The Columbia team was a
big favorite over Washington in their
contest Friday and ui until the eighth
inning lived up to expectations. In tho
eighth Bob Tucker, the Columbia twlrl
er, made an ascension and the Wash
ington tossers slammed in five runs be
fore . the fireworks were over. The
eighth inning marked Tucker's retire
ment, in favor of Robinson.
Columbia staged a ninth-inning rally,
bringing in four runs, but failed to tie
the score, losing out 10 to 9.
Scott, the big Washington pitcher
lias won all three games for Washing
ton and, along with Thompson, of
Franklin, looks to 'be the best bet 1"
the slabeter line in the league. Al
though a trifle unsteady at times. Scott
always manages to strike out his man
at the right time and keep himself out
of the hole.
Ed Thompson, the Quaker pitcher.
fanned 12 men in the Franklin-Commerce
game and played a good game.
Thompson is inclined to streaks of
wildness, but has the faculty of get
ting out of a bad hole and looms up
big.
, Catcher Show Up Well. ,
In the catching department, Rogo
wsyf of Commerce, and Tucker, of
Franklin, look the beet up to date.
Both Tucker and Rogoway have an
unerring peg, and in the Franklin
Commerce game there was not a passed
ball chalked. up-agaiustither catcher.
Gerth Cole, of Lincoln, and Johnny
Keating, of Columbia, seem to be the
class of the shortstops in the first
games.
. At first base. "Dude" Hitchcock, of
Washington; Jrwin Cole, of Lincoln,
and Dunbar, of Christian Brothers,
have come through with eome classy
playing.
No sensational second-sacKers nave
come to light in the first two weeks of
play, but Morris Rogoway, of Lincoln,
looks good. Neither has any nrst-
rate third baseman stepped lnto tne
limelight Brost, of Christian Broth
ens, has played a fairly consistent
game.
In the outfield, Jack itealng, or
Christian Brothers, and Ed Murphy, of
Columbia, loom up the best, .h-eatlng-is
playing an exceptionally good game.
Benson Tech has a well oaiancea
team and should give the other teams
in the league a run for their money.
In their game against Christian Broth
ers the other day the Tech ballplayers
displayed some real baseball knowl
edge, and if their pitcher. Baker, gets
going and settles down he will be a
winner.
Washington Team Beat.
Washington High School has proved
to have the beet all-around team up to
date, and will be hard to upset. Lin
coln and Franklin should both mako
the Washington, team step.
There will be six games played this
week. On Tuesday, April 23, Columbia
will meet Commerce on Multnomah
Field and Christian Brothers will
clash with Franklin on the East
Twelfth and Davis streets grounds.
Commerce lost to Franklin, 5 to 3,
last week and Columbia lost to Wash
ington, 10 to 9. The Commerce-Columbia
game should be one of the best
contests of the season, 'ine Christian
and it is likely that Swan will run the I Brothers team has won one game and
880 and Bullard the mile. Spriggs,
Ford and Swan will be the men enter-
ng the two-mile run. Eikelman. Rad-
cliff and Horner will enter in the hur
