The Beavers are anxious to clash with tha Seals tomorrow and promise to re venge themselves for the affront offered them. They are In splendid condition and eatable of putting -up a great battle. "5U Mlssourians Try New Stunt. University of. Missouri football candl- ates are trying a new kind of foot ball in their spring training. It was originated by Assistant Coach J. A. Gib son, who hopes that in case football Is abolished In the" Missouri valley, the new game may be adopted. In explain ing the features of the game Oibson said: "The game Is like regular, foot ball with but two changes ' slight In themselves, but far-reaching In their effect. The first change removes all restriction from the pass and kick ex cept that' a free rolling ball cannot be kicked. By the second change the ball in the hands of a runner becomes dead when the runner la touched by an op ponent. This change removes two of the most objectionable and dangerous plays In football." v George Stallings, manager of the New York Americans, has .made almost Ideti tloally the same comment on Ote John son's batting that Walter McCredle said he would in conversation with the writ. er at Santa Maria over three weeks ago. McCredle waa chuckling over' the sale of Johnson to the Highlanders for 14000, saying he had unloaded a Juicy citron on the big leaguers. Here were the words of McCredle: "When Stallings sees Johnson take that lid swing at the ball, he'll simply faint away. Mind what I tell you. Btalllnga will try to teach him to choke the bat and meet the ball, and when he finds that Ote can't learn, why, his hands will go up In the air. I tried for nearly two years to make Johnson meet the ball instead of swinging on it. There never was a bitter who could keep up and awing like a wild man at the horsehlde. There was a lot of luck last year in Ote's hitting, else he would never have bean at the top of the list. I hope hp makes good back there, but he'll be tha medium of lots of sleepless nights to Stallings." Xeeps Ball is rield. And what Mac said lias just about come true, according to the reports from the Highlanders' training camp at Athens. The New York American's baseball reporter writes, March 23: "Ote Johnson has not shown one ves tige of the hitting ability that last sea son made him a terror. He haa played In nearly half a doben games and hasn't secured a hit In fact, only twice has he been able to knock the ball out of the Infield, and both exceptions were easy fly balls. Johnson hit .293 In 205 games last year. He had 13 home run and any number of triples and doubles. " He is swinging at the ball too hard, walled Stallings this afternoon. 'I've told him to go easy and meet the LEAGUE BASEBALL SEASON WILL OPEN TOMORROW VV I T H SIX STRONG San Francisco, March 29. War will be declared tomorrow between San Francisco and Portland, Vernon and Los Angeles, Oakland and Sacramento. The strife will begin on three diamonds of the Pacific Coast league and will continue for many moons until one of the warring tribes hangs the scalps of all the others at Its belts. V The est of the opening of the Coast league season this year has been dulled Bomewhat by the num ber of star attractions in the shape of preliminary games with first class teams. Coast league managers, however, believe that the league will enter tomorrow on one of the most prosperous years of Its history. The fans, big and little, await. tTie clang of the gong that sends the teams from the post. They believe that tho baseball served on the Pacific coast compares favorably with that of tha major leagues and If last year'a -attendance be taken as a criterion, class, A baseball looks good to them. B. B. Bug and Lady Hug, In all the splendor of Easter trappings, will grace the stands while B. B. B. Jr., will roost on sun scorched boards and yell his head off. The day to which they have looked forward after a per iod of almost total abstinence is at hand. The girl fan will b there beside the venerable prelate. The peanut and pop corn boy will fling his strident voice to the breere. The booster, the tyro, the knocker will be on the Job with the same old bull, the same old Idiocy and the same old hammer. "We'll win the rag in a walk" will sit beside "I told you sd" and both will heckle the umpire. 'The following expert opinions give the fans a little "Inside baseball." may test their relative merits Is by facing each other on the diamond and that time Is now at hand. "The race will not be a runaway for one team. "The eorpa of umpires, assembled by the Coast league has no superior In the country. "I look for one of the biggest sea sons ever held on the coast, both from a playing and a financial standpoint." By Judge Thomas T. Graham, rresl- aant of the Paeine coast X,eag-aa. 'I expect to see one of the biggest seasons ever experienced on the coast ard or better. Br Herbert 8. Kcrarlln, Secretary of Oakland Coast Xe&gue Olnb. "I predict great success for the Oak land team ,thls season and baa my prophecy on close observation of the men In practice and also on the show ing against the White Sox. "The Oakland team haa been almost completely reorganized, and every change made was for the better. "With the exception of. our first base man we have an entirely new infield; men whom we took time and care to select, to whom we are paying good salaries and whom we believe will make a wonderful showing as the season progresses. "Our outfield has not been changed and we believe rhose garden workers will come up to their last year's stand and Borry will be the opening battery.

Frank How did some spectacular hooting at the traps of the Multnomah Kod & Gun club Sunday and his record Is one that will probably stand until rios?" Well, he Is cherry ripe and wllllte in the summer. Ffank had a great put up a star game this year. With Berry and Williams we have the best brace of catchers on the coast. "Our pitching staff Is without a peer. "Lewis is temporarily out of shape, so the outfield will be Melcholr, Griffin and Mellale or Bodle. "Of our pitchers, Henley, Miller and Amea are In best shape, and Willis and Eastley are In fair condition." By "Happy- Ho the cover off the ball. They like to hear it whistle up against the fences, even In spring practice. " 'You have to have hitters and speedy men to win pennants nowadays. I like the way he handles himself. I think Johnson would clout like a whirlwind If he didnt' try to knock the ball crooked.' " The New York Driving club will at tempt to get the annual intercity mat inee meeting of the Amateur Drivers League of America for the Empire City track this year. Not only is the outlook bright for close contests and closer finishes but In terest In the sport has Increased won derfully and record crowds are pre dieted. "The great essential to holding the interest of the publlo is the assembling of a strong team. A teamj does not necessarily need to be a pennant win ner to draw the crowds, but It must be a fighting outfit "Every team In the Paclflo . Coast league has been strengthened material ly and all are fighters. "Of course, pennant winners have the biggest following and the outlook now is that any team In the league may win the flag. Judging from form and make up. "I watched with interest the show Ing made by the various clubs of the league against the Chicago Americans, "To be sure, the results are not suf ficient Indication of the . comparative merits of the Coast league, but they show that the Coast league timber is In no way Inferior to that of the major league.

Then we would have continuous ball, Oh, bunches of nothingness. McCredle says he will wire If they win, but If they lose Mohler must have had a "grouch" on when he turned the Beavers out Into the cold, and made them go to Oakland to practice. How many home runs will Pearl Casey get In tomorrow's game? Johnny Kllng feels happy until they announce the penalty, and then' The Seals must have some team when they make Ping Bodle play the bench.

Yale university has a "chink" play ing ball with them and if he makes good he will be as good a drawing card as Ah Wing, the fighter, was. Columbia University has approved of the co-eds playing the national game. I wonder if McCredle would consent to practice games with . them. Larry McLean, the ex-Beaver catcher, is In wrong with Clark Griffith, who has suspended him for a few days. He didn't go to bed early enough for Clark. Bad boy. Tom Jones, the manager of Ad Wol gast, has picked Jim Jeffries to beat the "smoke" July 4. I wonder if he really means it. -Frankle Burns, the rising young light weight, has been matched to fight Phil Knight at Kansas City this week. Henry St. Yves and the other Mara thon Jokes have given Tim McGrath tho hook as their manager. Poor Tim loses his meal ticket now. Owing to an injury received while practicing. Wild Bill Donovan will be laid up for a few days. Blankenshlp predicts that. "Count De Bassey" will hit .300 in that Northwest league this year. Here's wishing you hit a thousand, Bassey, old boy.

I will tell who I think will win to morrows game Thursday, a I have? no more space. Put that pipe out. 'The pitching staff Is the strongest we have ever had and we believe it will be Invincible this year. "We are using seven pitchers now, but expect to carry only five or six during the season. We are at a loss to decide which men to let go, as they are all do ing excellent work. "Our team will have as playing man ager one of the cleverest generals In the country, Harry Wolverton. It has dem onstrated by the showing against the Chicago Americans that It Is a strong aggregation, and that it will lead a merry pace for the other Coast league teams during the season of 1910." By "Danny" bong, Manager Ban rran- olsco Baseball Club. "The Seals are in a better position now to again win tho league pennant than any club on the circuit with the possible exception of Los Angeles. "Tho team will be the only one, bar ring Los Angeles, that will start the race with a veteran Infield. We should have our 'inside team work" in better shape than the others who have new men working together for the first time. "The Seals, however, will not have the walkaway they enjoyed last year. Both Vernon and Oakland have been palpably strengthened, and should make closer race. In addition to that the other clubs have spent considerable money for players, and every club on the circuit has a lookln this year. "Our Infield Is in good shape with the exception of Vitt, who was only tempor arily disabled. It will .comprise Tennant at first, Mohler at second, McArdle at short and Mundorff at third. Henley Si MstftfclsXxUIUBt Water : M ogan, Manager Vernon Club. "I actually believe I am about to real ize the ambition of my llfe-to pilot a club to the pennant In a class 'A' leojrue. "I have several reasons for believing this. Here are a few of them: "Last season tho critics all said my Infield was a Joke. "While I didn't have so stronar an opinion myself, I believed It could be improved upon, and I "got busy. When the 'ump' calls the first game there won i be an old face In the Vernon in field. I am satisfied with every man I have there. "Fisher, bar none, la the best firs sacKer on the coast.

"The Vernon pitching staff is due to surprise some one. The boys can de liver the goods, and I expect them to do it. "So far as the catchers are concerned well. 1 11 take a chance with them. "A year ago. I gathered my club In three weeks. This season I have been getting it lined up for six months. I know where I stand, and If the flag doesn't come to Vernon this year, I'll be mightily disappointed." eye and tha weather was mighty favor able to the gunners Howe came within an ace of making a perfect score, but missed by losing one bluerock out of 100. That is by far the best shooting that has been done at the traps this season. He started off at a terrific clip and broke 85 straight, which Is the best run recorded in the northwest this year. Harry Ellis also did some good shoot ing, shuttering 94 clays out of a hun dred. Abraham broke 91 and King, jCul llson and Hlllls were within the 90 mark. The score follows: Shot At. Broke. Pot.

By Henry Berry, Manager of the jjos Angeles Club. "The season of 1910 is going to be the best the Pacific Coast league has ever known, and when the final figuring in uie percentage column is dono, you'll see that Los Angeles has brought home luu pennant. 'i , . , . . u'uur, ii wouia De a poor man ager who should not bulieve hla club was the best on earth, but Just -the same tha Los Angeles club is not a new club, and I probably know more about the actual abilities of my boys under the strain of the long coast league season man most or the other managers, for I have seen them work together before. "We have practically the same club we had last season. What beat us then was the hard baseball luck we played In. Hosp, Brlswalter, Koestner, three of our best pitchers, and half the regulars, were on the shelf at one time, durinir a critical period of the race. Wa don't expect the bad luck to re peat and we do expect to null throuah on top. With the same old infield, and the outfield 60 per cent better through the addition of Murphy and Bernard, we feel pretty strong. "Smith will handle the backston work in fine shape, and our new Ditchers. Crlger and Delhi, assuredly will make good. "Southpaw Crlger Is destined to be a Jinks to the Seals. Watch my predic tion. "All the clubs appear to be strong. I am glad of that. Everything looks like a record season, and the closest race in tho history of the league." he expected Sacramento to do this sea son. "We may not get the pennant, but we won't be the cellar champions, and you can put that In your corncob and touch a match to It We have a fast crew, and all are pounding the stitches like a bunch of sharpshooters trying for medals. "The 1910 team Is a better one than Ust year's team. Over half of thU year's team Is composed of eastern men. "Many of them are from the Boston Americans, and all are ball players. The outfield Is like trained jack rabbits. "The Infield Is a baseball machine that Is In good order. The other teams all have fast players, they tell us Well, Just wait till they see us in ac tion. Every man on the team Is fast and can hit. Sacramento s team will put up a brand or baseball that would be a credit to any league. "We may not win the pennant, but we will know why we didn't if some other team gets it." THER Michigan Assassin Not Anxious to Hook Up With Coveman in Ring. "Billy" Matthews, the colored base ball and football player, who was Harvard star at both games a few years ago, and Is at present a baseball coach In the Boston high schools, has signed to play with the "Lawson Pinks," the Boston club, in the newly organized United States League. The organiza tion Is reported to have, Joined the Am erican Federation of Labor. By the Rlngslder. San Francisco, March 29,. Although the report from Wheeling, W. Va., to the effect that Sid Hester had matchel Langford and Ketchel to fight at Polr.t Richmond, has turned out to be a fake. the Interest It aroused has acted as an Incentive to Hester to really go after the middleweight. If he lands them he will put them on across the bay on May 28, but In the meantime he will have to reckon with 125.000 or $30, 000 offer that Jim Orirfln Is going to make a battle on July 2. While the of fers of Hester and Griffin undoubtedly will be made In good faith, there la every reason to believe that the match will never be made and It Is even no cinch that Ketchel and Lang- ford will hook up In Philadelphia the latter part of next month, as they are scheduled to do. Langford Is willing to fight the assassin, but the assassin doesn't bear the slightest resemblance , to Barkis when the negro Is mentioned, ' If he keeps his Philadelphia engage- , ment with Langford he will surprise . about ten-tenths of the fight followers. Doesn't Give TJp Hops. Louis Blot haa not yet given up hope of signing Frank Klaus to fight Billy Papke on June 30. Jack Gleason, hla partner In the promoting line, has been so busy trying to make Jack Johnson-: behave and In getting rates from the r railroads to the big fight that he has r had no opportunity of running over to Pittsburg to see the smoke town scrap- , per, but as soon as he gets ' through . with the matters he has In hand he will , call on Klaus and make him an offer, f Before his fight with Ketchel, the . husky German announced that If he -made a good showing with the middle weight champion he would be ready to 4 take on any of the men in his class over a long route and as he has had one fight with Papke, in which he held his own, there Is every reason to be lieve that he will agree tq meet the Thunderbolt. Odds lengthen. The odds on the Barry-Burns fight lengthened another point today the price going to 2 to 1, with Barry on the long end and very little Burns money In sight. The big fellows practically wound up their work yesterday and from how until they are called Into the ring they will do little more than take short Jaunts on the road and light gym work. Barry went 16 rounds yesterday with his sparring partner and overlooked none of his gymnasium stunts. The Chlcagoan is supremely confident of beating Burns and expects to administer the knock out within IS rounds. Burns, while admitting Barry's superior clever ness, figures that he can outlast Barry and will wear him down until he has him In shape that the finishing punch will be easy to administer.

Of course, every team In the league Is going to win the pennant, but there are six teams and only one pennant.; We figure that we have the measure of the other five taitis and the pole to which the flag may be tied. Our trio of catchers. Fisher, Armbrus ter and Murray, is the best on the cir cuit. Our pitching staff Is good and there are only two new faces In the In field. The outfield cun take care of itself with any of them. The Beavers will begin the race In pretty fair, r-hape considering the lack of practice fames and the poor training conditions we have faced.
