(Journal' Special Service.) "
- Bakersfleld, Cal.. March 7. In a hard
fought., well played game, yesterday af
ternoon" the Portland Browns defeated
the Bakersfleld team by the score of 4
to 3. It required 10 Innings to decide
the contest, for lh the eighth a couple
of errors allowed Huston's nien to tle
the score. . Kerby Drennan started the
scoring for the Portlands in the second
(nning, when he found Westlake's de
livery decidedly to his liking and
smashed the ball for one of the longest
drives ever seen here, which netted' him
clearance papers for the complete tour
of the sacEs. r- ',,:' ,v, . ',;.?.
Drennan, however, seemed to liven
up the Portland's swat sticks, for they
kept up a continual bombardment of
Westlake's curve during the rest of the
game, and only some sensational field-'
ing on the part of Murdock at third,
Burke and Raymer at short and ' sec
ond, and Householder In the, outfield,
kept the score down. ,
Umpire Huston's enen , played great
ball, and had they been able to locate
Ike Butler's delivery . with any degree
of certainty, the leaguers might have
been defeated. : '
Castro and Steelman played star ball
at short and second, and secured the ap
plause of the spectators by pulling oft
a lightning double play, which came
nearly resulting In a triple, had Free
man's ' relay 'to Francis not been a
trifle wild, and pulled the third baseman
oft the sack.. .Toward the latter part -of
the game when It became evident trt
the Portland team would win, several
Oil City enthusiasts who had either wa
gered against Ely's men, or were look
ing , for trouble,- started to using abu
sive language toward Nadeau and Steel
man. The former paid no attention to
them, but Steelman stood It for awhile,
"Until it became too personal, when he
turned on them and It looked as if a
scrap would result Steelman picked up
a bat and started to meet them, joined
by Shields, Druhot and Castro, when a
couple of deputy sherMTs Interfered and
escorted the rowdies from the grounds.
Hard drives by Castro and Shea won
the game for the Portlands In the tenth
Inning. Butler allowed the Bakersfleld
team but six hits.
, The teams lined up as follows: -

DIAMOND GLISTENINGS
.'Going some. , - : ".
, Their Joints are loosening.
Butler says "Leap Year" is his for
sure.
This year ought to be a, lively one
for Jumpers.
J'The Browns have won more games
this season than last year up to April
10.
- A light ex-stockholder says that there
will be no money made this year. By
the way, didn't he lose his season passT
Cushions will be provided for the
bleachers this year at the same cost as
last year. Soft thing, eh?
From accounts of yesterday' en
gagement at Bakersfleld the Browns',
new backstop is something of a scrap
per, and won't stand for a bluff. This
trait was decidedly lacking In the back
stop that started the season with the
Browns last season. ".
1 Danny Shea Is smashing the ball In
the practice games, and if he keeps up
his present work when tha season opens
the local lad will make the opposing
twlrlers hustle.
Ike Butler Is going to be one of the
winning pitchers of the league, this sea
son, judging from his record so far In
the practice games. The fans are eag
erly waiting for the 'Chicago game, when
Butler will officiate on the slab, , for
they expect him to do things to Hart's
big leaguers.
Drennen and McCreedie are astonish
ing the Bakersfleld fans by their, field
ing and throwing, as well as in batting.
A Bakersfleld correspondent of an ex
change refers to Charlie Shields as a
second Rube Waddell. Joe Rellly says
that Shields Is not quite as craiy as
Waddell, and Joe ought to know, for he
la an authority on matters bughouse.
Jack Huston's wife acts as scorer of
the games between Portland and Bak
ersfleld, and there are very few baseball
authorities who know more about the
game 'than this same little woman. '
Ike -Francis Is recovering from his
soreness and Is whipping the ball across
the diamond lh his old-time -form.' .
Arthur Anderson, the well-known
player who caught for both the Portland
teams last season, expects to leave Port
land about the 20th for Little Rock,
where he Is signed to play during the
coming season.

(Journal Special Service.)
i Spokane. Wash.j. March 7. A merry
war ls'-on among the ' bakers. ' Price
cutting has been going on for the past
month, but It has only been in the last
few days that cutting has become gen
eral.:-.- -v.- r
Formerly the price to the wholesaler
was 25 loaves for , $1, but recently a
cut was made and some of the bakers
started giving 28 loaves for the same
price. Yesterday - a still further cut
was made, and wholesalers are now re
ceiving 30 loaves for $1. ' There is no
agreement of the Bakers' association
whereby a member can be even fined for
price cutting; but It Is now being sug
gested that such action be taken at
tho next meeting of the association.
It Is understood that a meeting of
the association will soon be called and
an effort be made to bring about an
amicable adjustment of the difficulty.
Just bow soon thla meeting will be
called Is yet a matter of doubt.
WHAT SHIPS MAY
COME IS NOT KNOWN
Local officers of the Portland-Asiatic
company state that while It is probable
that the Indrawadi will take the place
of the Indravelll, whose charter expires
March 25, nothing definite is known
about It. Unless rechartered this will
be the last trip of the Indravelll to
Portland. Her charter will expire about
the time she arrives In the Orient. Cap
tain Craven says, that he Is In the dark
as to what kind of a change Is to be
made. If the Indrawadi does come here
he says it Is very probable Tie will con
tinue on the Portland run.
There Is also the same degree of un
certainty concerning tha Indrapura. Her
charter to the Portland-Aslatlo company
expires on May I, and 'it has been
learned through ; semi-official ' sources
that she is to be succeeded by the Indryi
mayo. Before the expiration of her
charter she will be able to make but
one trip to Portland. The steamer is

TEXT PATBJOTIC ' '
The Japanese shows his patriotism not
in loud hurrahs. In fiery speechmak
lng. In the sounding of martial muslo or
the waving of banners andTlags; but In
the heartiness with which he subscribes
to his nation's cause and the prompt
ness with which he steps forward to his
emDeror's call to arms. . F. 8. Kelly,
representing., the Portland Flouring
Mills company, who has Just returned
from nine weeks In . the orient, irom
personal observations, has thus formed
his pplnion of the little brown man. .
"I left Japan on February jv saia
Mr. ? Kelly, , "and c while ' the entire
country Is wrought up by the war, the
outward show of feeling that character
ises the American, the Englishman or
the German, is not In evidence. Nearly
every store Is decorated with flags. It
is true, and there js some demonstra
tion around the recruiting stations, but
on the, whole the Japanese are 'saying
nothing and sawing wood.' ; '-
Mr; Kelly left Portland for Japan
December 26 last. During the trip he'
visited Yokohomar-Nagasakl. Kobe and
other Japanese, towns but did not leave
the islands. The firm he represents is
one of the heaviest shippers of flour
InJtK the jprlent and Mr. Kelly succeeded
In making several : large contracts for
early consignments of wheat stuffs.
"Since war was declared, up until the
time I left," he said, "the opening of
hostilities has somewhat stagnated the
market. All vessels and the railroads
of the. island empire are required for
the transportation of troops and muni
tions of war and the result is the piling
up of cargoes at the docks and no
chance to transport the goods Inland
and very - little opportunity for the !
Japanese . to export goods. - However I j
look for very fcood business shortly.."
Mr. Kelly, who Is personally ac-,
quainted with Oscar King Davis, one of
the well-known eastern war correspondents.-met
him at the Imperial hotel in
Kobe. "I became acquainted with Mr.
Davis about -four years sgo, while en
route , to Manila." said Mr. Kelly. "I
also saw Jack London, the magazine
writer and correspondent at Shlmnon
eslki. At that Wne London was pre
paring to depart Tor Korea. As a mat
ter of fact most of the war correspond
ents are shut up at Kobe, with promises
from the Japanese government that they
will be allowed to go to the front with
the next expedition. All news coming
into Japan is subjected to rigid cen
sorship and It Is my opinion that even
the correspondents are not aware of all
that Is going on. There is an absence
of foreign adventurers and soldiers of
fortune. The government won't allow
them In, and about the only foreigners
In the country, drawn there by the war,
are the correspondents.
"Japan Is flooded with newspapers,
and extras are published .and eagerly
sought. As far as the government will
permit, every one is" well .Informed , of
the operations In Korea."
The trade of '. his company with

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Multnomah Branch No. 82,
National Association of Letter Carriers,
was held yesterday to formulate plans
for obtaining money for the entertain
ment of delegates to the national con
vention; to be held In Portland next
summer. v.,-;
It was decided to get up a handsome
Illustrated souvenir In book form. It
will contain photographs of the president
of the. United States and other promi
nent government officials, the officers of
the Letter Carriers! association, promi
nent Portland people and many scenes In
and around this city, besides reading
matter descriptive of the " state - and
city. The business houses of the city
will be asked to take advertising space
and-K. is from this source that the post
rrlen hope to raise the main portion of
the money they need. Canvassers will
be put to work this week and will con
tinue until every business man in this
section has had the opportunity, pre
sented to him. -
. Eight thousand dollars is the sum Re
quired to provide for the convention.
FOur years ago Minneapolis raised this
sum for the convention in anticipation
of securing it for the following year and
each succeeding year she has been una
ble to get it. This sum being on de
posit that city made a very hard fight
against Portland and her delegates In
duced the majority to agree on Portland
as the next meeting place, conditioned
that she would raise as much money as
Minneapolis had done. ;
The members of the local branch are
assessed 25 cents a month for the con
vention fund. There are now 90 mem
bers In this branch and It soon will be
increased to over 100,

the Lewis and Clark Fair officials to

be tho equal of any band In that city.

dent. Is expected to arrive here in the
near future in the Interest of the com
lng convention. The executive commit'
tee Is composed of Frank Stewart chair
man; E A. Moulton, H. C. Hutchinson,

SECURITIES NOT
THOUGHT AVAILABLE
The action of Portland business men
in declining the offer of J. J, Healey to
promote trade Interest between Alaskan
ports and this city Is given an explana
tlon by Henry Hahn of Wadbams &
company. , . , ',
"We feel the promoter should have
some substantial Interest or investment
in any corporation we might form .to
exploit the Alaska trade," said Mr. Hahn,
"and as there is considerable doubt as
to Cpt J. J. Healey's securities being
available for cash at this time, we con
cluded not to accept his offer. His prop
osition was that he would take a $25,000
Interest In the corporation, to be repre
sented by certain securities that ha has.
These were not acceptable to a mr.Jorlty
of tha merchants who had the matter
under consideration. Many of them ex.
pressed themselves as being willing to
embark In such an enterprise, but the
promoter, If he Is to have the active
management should make a very, sub
stantial Investment in the corporation.
This will be the end of the matter, I
suppose, at least so far aa-Capt Healey
Is concerned. We may take the subject
up again, but along different lines than
those offered us."
Mr. Hahn is chairman of the commit
tee which had Capt Healey's proposi
tion under Investigation. Capt Healey
left Saturday night for Seattle.
