Visalla, Cal., March 8. 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:

ALL FOOLS' DAY NOW
LOOKED UPON BY MAC
AS OMEN OF VICTORY
VJsaJIa, Cal., March Walter
McCredie lae his old superstition
working again, and this is what
It is: He thinks April's fool day,
the opening day of the Pacific
league schedule, will give him
his first initial win since 1906,
the year of the earthquake.
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.

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
