Those pestif erous young; lads from St Mary's col- ege, who are as apt to lick the Boston led Sox as they are' the boys from .vVatts, California, were giving; a tantal- zlnr trouncing- thin afternoon by Man ager McCredle's Portland hopefuls, 6 to . due mainly to well oiled pitching of Messrs. Stanley, Carson and Hagerman. For the most part 'the Beaver gunners jsed ther noodles against the students, nstead Of their arms, but when Al Car- ion was pushed Into the fray for his tittle part, he uncorked a series ot curves and hops that had the St. Mary's students guessing a bit. Young John son was given poor support at the' start but after the fifth the professionals were lucky to get a foul off him. Berry and Xores Star. In the sixth Inning he fanned Rodgers, Loan: and Chadbourne with his sharp southpaw hooks. McCredie was not a bit partial and threw 16 men into the contest. Dutch Korea and Claude Berry (were the little bearcats with the stick. Claudlo getting a single and a triple In two times up, and Korea a single and a double In four tlnies. Walter Doane watf there with two out of three besides pilfering two bases. Chick Cunningham kicked in with a beautiful double to right field that gave him 333 average for the. day. Flash Fitzgerald got a pretty double In two times at bat. Derrick was the hard-luck, boy of the afternoon. He was not feel ing well at the start of the game, but fielded splendidly and stole a base. It was not his afternoon though to smash any of the offerings of the student southpaw safely. Pappa's single, Claf- Hn's sacrifice and Fitzgerald's error of Horaq's fly to right, put the visitors on the Beaver doorsten In the first in ning; but Stanley put a little on the ball 'and fanned Gulsto and caused Chi Ids to arch to Cunningham. Stanley Tans Two. In the fourth inning Cbilds-crowded a triple Into Cunningham's territory, but Stanley fanned two of the next three men and the third filed out . Cunningham opened for Portland with a double to right and took third on Fitz gerald's sacrifice. Doane laid a beauty over f irst and Chick scampered hpm. Kore, sizzled over second to start the second inning, weatio second and third on wild pitches, and cantered home when Berry drove the ball through short Fitzgerald began the third with a double to right, went to third on Doane's out and, after Derrick skied to Pappas, who goes to the Northwestern league this year. Fits peddled in on Kores' long drive to left. Kores never stopped running, taking third when he saw the throw was going to be bad, and home when It got past the third baseman. Berry Initiated the'-fourth Inning like Korea operated in the third. Claude's was a three-bagger to left and he kept on to home when he saw Childs' relay going wild. Doane and Derrick put the college In field' up in the air in the fifth, for the last .score singled over short and took second on Hayden's error, then Derrick walked and the two did a little cavort ing that gave Doane a chance to steal third while Derrick ducked back to first. This was followed by a delayed double teal and Doane scored. After that the Beavers could do nothing with Johpson, Whose support tightened. Twiners Pitch Great Ball. - Stanley, Carson and Hagerman pitched great ball, In fact, as good as one sees fluting the season. Stanley equaled Higginbotbaro s strike-out record, while Hagerman gave the first walks that a Portland pitcher has given this season. Mike McCormlck was out In uniform to day and may get in the game tomorrow: jin the meantime young Heilan is playing a anocxoui game at mira. Mccreaie thinks he Is very promising.

The only time Portland ever won an opening game was in 1906, when Wln.Rrench pitched the Beavers to victory over Mike Fisher's Fresno club at Fresno, Cal., In the old Coast league. That was the year Portland won its first championship. Since then, at San Francisco and Los Angeles, where the Beavers alternate in opening,' something has always happened to blast McCredle's hopes. He has been thinking the April 1 date over for some time and at last has reached the conclusion that All Fools' day Is a good omen and that the six year string or aeieais is to ue crimen ai ihbi: plaining of stomaoh sickness and have been unable to do their best work the last three ox four days. The two teams will meet again tomorrhw afternoon. The score: 8T. MARY'S. AB. R. H. PO. A. E. Pappa.

(YoninC When Portland lines up against San Francisco Tuesday, April 1, In the initial game of what is expected to be the greatest season in the history of the Pa cific Coast league. Manager McCredie will station Artie Krueger in center field with Doane and Fitzgerald as his flank ers, provided Injuries do not disrupt his present plana. He believes thattwUh this trio he will have1 the greatest hit ting and fielding combination in the league, . not barring Vernon's splendid trinity of veldters or Lett Angeles' great triumvirate. v ' ' Here is McCredle's theory of oUtfield Ing. Oakland has a ball park in which a home run can.be made in any field, 'and Los Angeles Is preity much the Same way with the fences moved E0-feet back on all sides. Now it will take speed to cut off . extra bases In these parks pro vided the ball gets past the outcrworks. It will be much like the Boingjfh the major leagues, where a flatfooted out fielder like Core; of Los Angeles or Swain, of Sacramento would 'be, lost. A man must be abo to retrieve ou.tfleld hits as well asto whang tho ball around the' enclosure at a .300 clip to stick.- McCredie has given the matter much thought, and he ,ttiUika,.,the ' aforemen tioned outfielders Will be Just the thing. He' wants Fitigerald and Doane. .put there on the clover, because they can cover a lot of ground and he also wants them on either side of a. fellow like Krueger, who can give 'ail the' balance that Is necessary.- ' ' ' McCredie thinks that. Krueger Ms the greatest minor league outfielder in the country and he roes not see' how he can keep him out of the game, even though Chadbourne ia also one of the besj: out fielders In the game. Chad, ..however, la not the equal of Krueger as a hitter 'as the averages, will show, but at that he is one of the best lead-off men in the country. He l far better fielder fhan Doanair-FlUgeraldL.A:facLwWch9Yery, J Doay conversant wun me game win readily admit. But these boys are com. ing fast. Doane was Woefully weak on hard hit balls last spring, but he im proved rapidly and came like a flash toward the end gf the season. With a INITIAL CONTEST SAN FRANCISCO PICKED year's experience he ought to be one of the best In the country. . Fitzgerald has been suffering from a sore arm but had a massage artist work ing on it last winter and he says there is no pain and a great deal of strength in the flipper. He has been .working along slowly under Trainer Schmleder's eye and bids fair to be able to start the season in great shape. Fitzgerald is a natural hitter and one of the fastest ,men in baseball, major or minor. Mc Credie will give him a special course of Instruction in running bases this season and looks for him to be as valuable in that offensive department as Rollie Zel der of the Seals In 190 or Bill Leard of the Oaks last year, both of whom Mc Credie credits with being tho real factors in winning the pennants for their re spective ball clubs. McCredie figures that if Fitzgerald van purloin 80 based and Doane 60 next year, the rest of the club ought to do enough hitting to con vert many of their steals into .runs. Krueger is one of tne greatest hitters in the game. He doesn't show his real worth in the records. He knows Just What to do when the occasion arises with men on bases and himself at bat. If the records were kept of the stuff that he has pulled off, he would doubt less be at the top of the league In gen eral efficiency. One might say that he is Just about the wisest ball, player in the Coast league. McCredie Is fully decided upon keep ing five outfielders this season. He was asked as to the fate of young Chick Cunningham, the youth who created a sensation In the last few weeks of last season, being the second high' batter In the league, and he emphatically stated that he would keep the youngster on the Beaver fly chasing. ataff throughout thf coming campaign. He regards Cun ningham as the greatest natural batter he has ever seen. Every one of the lad's hits last Reason were o'f the clean cut order. He is not quite as fast on th paths as froane or Fitzgerald, but neither of them hae much on him in rambling after a skier. ; The little Irishman has a cheery, dis position, is of the best of habits and Is only 19 yeataold. The old heads on the baU club havaken kindly to him and are giving him au tne pointers that they can during the training season. How ever, some of them believe that he shows so much aptitude that he ought te be sent over to the Colts, where he can have a chance to be in the game every day. It has been a long time since Mc Credie was equipped with such a wealth of pasturors and he finds -himself in such a predicament In making his selec tion for regulars that he has concluded to carry all of the men that he now has on his staff, which means that young Fortler, drafted from the Union association, will have to teg It over the bladea In the equine outfield next sum mer. ,. . "If Krueger would run headfirst into the "fence or do a double somersault every -time he catches a fly ball, he would be regarded as the greatest out fielder 1. all the world up in Portland," said Manager McCredie. "He can't pull any of that Carlisle stuff because he knows Just about where the baHls go-, ing to be. ,hU a.nd plays the territory. Thejrujarelly..tugues. him, and forthat reason lie .doesn't haveto'do a circus eaten. Krueger catches a ball so easily and gracefully that the fans thing he Is loafing, when as a matter of fact they are mighty hard chances jnade to look easrvjf Jewish I 'had thre outfielders "MYSTERIOUS" BILLY THINKS HE CAN DO THE COME-BACK STUNT NOW Vancouver,' B, C, March S. William Smith of Portland, vho 15 years ago was familiar to ring followers all over America and England as the famous "Mysteri ous Billy," is in town tonight In discussing ring affairs, Billy expressed a wish to hook up with Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion. Smith said: "I see Tommy Burns Is talk ing of coming back. WeJI, ' I have Just as much right to Cum back as he has- I am going -to run down to Calgary to talk; business with Mr. Burns and If he feels that he would like te try the come-back on somebody, why I am his man. I will battle with him for the heavyweight cham pionship of Canada and I don't think he will care to go any fur ther after he gets through with me. 1 4 that could cover the ground and play the batters like he does. There would be mighty few. balls getting away from them." McCredie ia certainly sweet on his quintet 0 agate trailers. SPRING .
