CALIFORNIA RACES TO
SUFFER THIS SEASON
The directors of the Trotting Horse
Breeders' association, of California will
hold the annual meeting at the San
Jose, CaL, track. 1 This will give ' the
admirers of sulky racing around Los
Angeles an opportunity to witness the
sport' from day to day. ""Unfortunately,
the prospects are not very encouraging
this year, ' owing to an apparent lack
of horses. The original stake features
announced by both Breeders' associa
tion and the State Fair association both
failed to flit This unusual condition
was doubtless due to the tardiness of
California associations, and also to tha
additional fact that the state fair meet
ing clashed with an Important northern
meeting. ; The Breeders' association will
conduct several meetings and have in
vited turfmen as far east as Denver to
compete In some of them. , . .

It "was expected some time ago that
a Joint rugby team composed of play

would visit the United- States next fall
but . the negotiations failed, of their
purpose. The ' present reports are to

At the opening of each Coast league
season away from home he always gets
a hand from the fans, showing that his
popularity is not restricted to Portland.
Casey Is a terror to the old-time
pitchers of the league, for. he has the
rare faculty of "kidding" them into
walking him. He gets on base prob
ably of tener from this method than
any other player In the league. Were
It ,not for recently injured underpin

Any Schoolboy Can Learn the
; Sharp Breaker, Says Harry-
. Mclntyre. .
1
Pitcher Harry Mclntyre, formerly
with the Brooklynteam but now on the
twirling staff of the Chicago Ciibs, Is
the most enthusiastic supporter of the
spit ball sport writers have come across
In a long, time. According to Harry,
whn in doubt use the spltter. - He
says; - - " ', ',.
"Any small boy can pitch the spit
ball with a little: practice. But pitch
ing and control are two vastly dif
ferent arts. It's a simple matter to
take a baseball, moisten two fingers and
hurl the object towards a batsman. In
fact, that is mere child's, play com
pared to the skill required to send the
ball whirling with a sharp, deceiving
break which .comes almost at the
plate. I learned to throw the spit ball
In 10 tnintues. Then I practiced dally
for six months before I acquired con
trol. "' ,
'The average baseball fan labors un
der the Impression that the moist bal)
can be thrown only with an overhand
delivery;, That's a mistake. Nine out
of 10 pitchers using this freak start
their delivery overhead, but I prefer
the side arm swing, which gives great
er accuracy, Is less of a strain on the
pitcher and permits of 4 sharper hook
as the ball" approaches the batsmen.
What success I have experienced while
pitching the 'spltter In 'the last five
years I attribute to .the manner . In
which It Is mixed with, the old time,
every day curve ball' .
"My motto is, 'When -In doubt, use the
spltter.' Otherwise I , am content to
ordinary curves and ' the . time honored
nents. For strike out purposes to
my notion there isn t another ball to
be compared in point of effectiveness
With the 'spltter. "

"fanning"- around McCredie's billiard
parlors and watching the returns from
theouthern games Particular Inter
est centered la the fight between Oak-'
land and San Francisco and when the
Seals won there was quite a feeling of
relief that Portland' was again in seo
ond place. - - -- - . '
Oakland has made such an excellent
showing these last few weeks, that the
Beavers have taken on a feeling of
much concern. J
The Beavers think they can knock
the socks off the champions, but this
young giant from across the bay is
looking mighty threatening right now.
Oakland's advance has been made so
consistently that It Is realised Wolver
ton's is not a mushroom club.
Some criticism has been heard late
ly, over the Inability of the Portland
outfield to hit in anything like form
and the unique spectacle of two out
fielders topping the pitcher, has been
presented the fans for nearly a month
now. Outfielders are hired more for
their hitting abllltv tha.n for . th no. .
caslonal brilliant catch.. i ' :
There is a general feeling yiat Me
Credle should bench some one of the
outfielders for George Ort, while they
are Mttlng s poorly. .. Smith ' has - a
batting average that resembles y the
washerwoman's hunk of soap after the
proverbial hard day, " while Ryan and
Speas, cling around the .200 mark like
the dlptera on a day when your mother
cooks cabbage for dinner. Probably a
good rest would help them to brighten
up their eyes, although Buddy showed
promise Friday 'by getting three hits
during the game. r
'Would Use shsr la Weld. '
Manager Mao would put Fisher in
the outfield to utilise his hitting If he
were a little faster oft his feet. ;;,Ous
has been clouting above the ,800 mark
and Mae thinks he would hit about .380
If he were In the garden. This rntght
be a good move forawhIle under the
present circumstances. Fisher- has 4.
split hand and If he feels like playing,
H mignt oe a gooa plan to let mm work
In the outfield Instead of wajrmlng the
bench and assuming 'the pinch hitting
role. t r '
Some of the critical fans are also
clamoring 'for McCredie's presence in
the game, where his brainy hitting can
be utilised. Mae vows he is getting too '
heavy to guard much territory., but even
at that he covers inore ground apparent
ly than Smith. -;.r. ': ; .. ; . ''
A rumor has been going the- rounds
that Dugdale of Seattle has been flirt
ing with Ort, but there is a difference.,
of $200 on the purchase price with Dug-
aaie as usual on the . short end of ti
thousand dollar deal. Some of ' the
every-day ' regulars desire to see Or
in .' the game ahd would Hke nothing
better than to see him In right "field.
He is in the game every minute and is
the most dangerous base runner port
land has. . He was hitting well, when
McCredie benched him and In the role
of pinch hitter has acquitted himself
creditably. They feel certain that Port
land will make a mistake if thu hard
working fellow is allowed to go to Se
