(Journal Special W-ie..) Bakersfleld. CaL( Feb. i.i-The mim bers of the Portland baseball team are rapidly congregating In this city, and In a few day they will' be working in their regular positions. , Acting Captain Ike Butler is in charge of the . team Until the arrival of Manager Ely and Captain Castro. , Butler says that he expects Ely today, and Castro by Sunday. Accord ing to advices received by the Portland players, the much-disputed Castro- is positively on his way to this city, and upon his arrival home arrangement may be perfected whereby he wilt play with Portland. ; ., Those of the Portland club now here are indulging in light exercise, , except Butler, Kadeau, Freeman, ' Francis and Steelman, who have become almost sea soned in the" time they have been here. Shields, Shea and Drennan -took a spin on the road- yesterday,- after-whicn a good rundown finished their day's exer cise, i y K ,.. -;. Morris Steelman and Ike Francis are wonderful throwers, having a speedy and accurate delivery. Steelman car ries himself like a big leaguer, and his throwing to second Is one of .the most accurate ever witnessed here. ' . Francis is still' somewhat overweight and when he gets down to fighting weight will rank, among the fastest men on the club. , Phil Nadeau And Jerry Freeman have endeared themselves' to the local fans, who have watered them work; and are as great favorites in this town -as they are said to be in Portland. Every small boy in this town knows Ham Iberg, and they follow him around with admiring yes whenever he appears on the streets. Ike Butler will probably pitch the whole of Sunday's game for Portland, for the other players will be troubled with sore muscles, after their long win ter's reet. U NEW SPORT THAT ATTRACTS ATTENTION There Is , something new under the sun. It is scooterlng. Comparatively few sportsmen have heard of scooterlng, but their number will be larger next year. Sscooterlng may be defined a fly ing over ice and skimming over water. Its great advantage lies in the fact that you do-Tiot have- to change -ear; The Ice yacht' is a rapid transit de vice with Infernal accommodations, and dangerous possibilities, If the ice be in firm. The. scooter is an almost equally speedy contrivance in which you can find real comfort and feel -perfectly se cure that If your craft does happen to take a plunge into water it will return to the ice again without subjecting you to more serious discomfort than a dash of spray. "V ".--" -'-.---"w The scooter Is a real boat that travels equally well. If not equally fast, over Ice or water. It has metal-shod runners to carry it over the ice and a water-tight hull to carry it over water. It has a cockpit that will accommodate two- per sons comfortably and one or two more on a pinch.. The hull Is almost an ex act counterpart of the sneakbox, from which it was evidently derived, bat the bottom is flatter. The scooter is a Great South Bay product. The Long Island life-saving crews, finding much difficulty in crossing the bay between their homes and the stations along the beach In the winter season when the bay was partly frozen over, contrived a boat on runners that could be pushed over the Ice and paddled over the intervening water. They have been using this for years, but until re cently it was not very a satisfactory conveyance, as it was slow and it im posed a great deal of hard work. The real scooter did not come Into existence unttl a year or so ago, when some village genius with a practical turn of mind applied the sail. Then it was suddenly discovered that the queer-looking little boat was the handiest craft afloat or ashore. CBOBS OOT7VTBY BXSB.

He is spending millions, and more of them every year, in a wide range of outdoor pastimes. He la wielding a potent influence in legisla tion, and there Is no longer that which used to be called the "Yankee character istic' of chasing the dollar in blind disregard of playtime and wholesome recreation. The sportsmanship which flourishes in deep woods, by swift rivers. on quiet lakes, in marshes where wild fowl feed, or which finds Its keenest sest in sailing salt water with lee rail awash, has drawn the city man by tens of thousands to make him all over again. At the same time, it has boomed the business of providing for the wants of this multitude, to an extent first realised by the public at large since the sportsmen's show has become a fea ture of the year of entertainments at Madison Square Garden. Showing of Census. The federal census of 1900 Included this interesting Item: Hunters, trap pers, guides and scouts, males, 10,020; females, 1,320; total. 1 1,34b. A table compiled from numerous gov ernment reports gave the average wages of "hunters, trappers and guides" as $420 a year. This, however. Is not a fair estimate, for the cash returns do not include the living which the ma jority of men following these occupa tions are able to obtain for a good part of the year, In addition to , their wages or profits. As a conservative estimate, these hardy Americans earn $8,000,000 a year, and their proceeds are but a small fabtor of the total business of providing outdoor sport for the man who seeks It. The revenue of the rail roads which carry the sportsman to his favorite haunts wlll amount to larger figures than this item. The manufac turer of guns and ammunition, of camp ing outfits, and flsnmg tackle, of canoes, and other small craft, of outdoor ward robes, roll up their respeotive shares of this great business to amazing totals.

BASEBALL GOSSIP OF PACIFIC NATIONALS (Journal Special Serrice.) Spokane, Feb. 28. It has been prac tically settled that the season of tha Paclflo National league will be opened simultaneously in Salt Lake and Spo kane April 28. Lucas, McCloskey, Wil liams and Aellly held a consultation and this date was agreed to, subject, of course, to the. votes of Butte and-Salt Lake. Butte will come to Spokane for the first week and Boise will go .to Salt Lake. Spokane has better weather In, .. the early part of the season and for this reason Butte will play here. Salt Lake has good weather, as- has Boise, but the receipts will probably be larger in Salt Lake for the opening games. Spokane will most -likelyJumn straight to Salt Lake and return to Butte and Boise, or, it may be, the trip will be reversed, as it Is the intention to have all the teams start ou with, three weeks at home. McClcskey has practically given up the fight over the contract of Gun Klopf. "Mac" sttll insists that the signed contract la the "genuine sarsa parllla" and that wired acceptances do not count as much as signed contracts He has reasons, though, for dropping the dispute.- which look good to those on the inside.
