BEAVERS SHdW IMPROVEMENT IN CONTEST
YESttRDAY WITH CRACK COLORED GIANTS
McCredie's Men Go. Down to Defeat by Sore of 2 to 0; The
Pitching Staff Getting Better; Southpaw Is Doing
Some Exceedingly Good Work.
By R. A. Cronln.
(Spcflil to The Jonrniil.J
VIsalla, CaL, March 15. Weather ob
servers Stanley and Hagerman were on
the job this afternoon and considerable
of the dark cloud that has been hover
ing over the Beaver camp was swept
away. Had It not been for a home run,
across second bass in the third Inning
lndentally like that of yesterday ana two
errors by Kores in the seventh, tho
ebony-hoed and the Palcphlszes might
have been battling yet
The Beavers are Improving as was
shown by the battle they put up and the
way they speared line drives off the
bats of Doane and Chadbourne was
enough to make any loyal, hearty
Beaver groan with agony. But at that
you've got to hand them credit for their
wonderful playing.
McCredie's Hope spent another two
hours facing pitching the equal of the
major, league twlriers in mid-season.
Big Gate wood 'propelled spitball after
spit and mixed in lightning curves that
the Beavers were able to click. Only a
quintet of hits of his delivery attesti
his skill.
Hagerman In Great Bhape.
But he didn't show more Impressively
than Rip Hagerman,. Of course Kip
came In after Stanley had served them
for six rounds with cardiac hooks and
fast ones 'and that may have made a
difference. '
- All the chocolate drops, whose middle
names are "Hits" garnered off v the" big
speeaer pucner, was one scratcn-ingie
down the third base Une to McCormick.
Six of the colored lads took lusty
wings at the ball and three of them
sat down in one inning, the ninth. He
put up the best exhibition cCrles
from a Portland standpoint and The one
run he was nicked for was due to Kores
erratic- fielding. ? Nobody could have
looked worse today than the Des Moines
boy who let them skedaddle through his
stilts when he wasn't lifting the bulb
over Derrick's dome.
Stanley was hard to hit but he was as
wild as Amos Russia in his palmy days.
The southpaw shows that he knows how
to pitch for he got out of some mighty
tight places and talk about fielding; the
team that bunt on him is going to have
some little trouble getting away with It.
The twirling today was much better
than two "previous afternoons and-Mc-Credle
is betting on West and Hlggin
botham to give us the game tomorrow.
May Go Horth.
Porterville, near here has asked for
a game Monday and will be accommo-

may play a game or so with the Beavers
In Stockton next week and if you think
that any or Portland war correspondents
with the Beavers, have slipped a cog in
their estimation of negroes you may get
an opportunity to disillusion yourselves
for the chances are 10 to 1 that the ne
groes will be up that wly early In
April and may schedule games on the
12th, 13th and 14th with the Portland
Colts in Portland. Manager Rube Morse
of the Giants and Manager McCredle
talked over the matter today and will
take It up with Nick Williams. It Would
be the finest thing in the world for the
cons on jd eve or opening the North
western League schedule? All that Fos
ter fears is that it will be a trifle cold
there for his dusky athletes. :6, ,
Briefly here is the description of the
game today. Two were out when Bar
ber drove the ball at bullet speed across
second base in' the third. . The best
Krueger could do was to throw his glove
at the ball, while Doane lit out in pur
suit Barber legged it like a dash man
and beat the throw home-by two strides.
In the seventh Hill rolled one between
Kores'; legs and Pierce walked.' Chad
bourne made a great catch of Barber's
fly..; Then Taylor hit to Hellmair, who
nailed Pierce at second but Kores in at
ternptrn rte " epinplete---detiMe-Trtay
lifted (the ball ! a mile over Derrick's
head and Hill galloped home. .
Portland had a show in the seventh
when Fisher opened with a drive to left
field. But he made the mistake of try
ing o stretch In Duncan's -great arm.
Hagerman was as infield out and Chad-
PORTLAND, OREGON, SUNDAY' MORNING,
bourne followed with a safe smash to
left; Duncan swallowed Doane's high
skier and the jig was off with tiro out
Derrick doubled to right In the ninth
but Hetlmann arched to Hill and an
other defeat was charged to the Beav
ers. But there was disgrace to it
Bill Lindsay wag out In uniform this
afternoon and limbered up around third.
He looks to be In pretty good shape.

Magee May riajr Short.
(United I'rrna Leaned Wire.)
Columbus,- Ga., March 16. If Lee Ma
gee can, master the throw from short
to first base. Manager Hugglns of the
St. Louis Cardinals, believes he will
make good In the position that Hugglns
is having so much trouble to fill, Ar
nold Houser, the regular Cardinal short
stop, is out of the game with a dislo
cated hip. Whelan, who was taking his
place creditably, was hurt In the cy
clone that visited here, and Charles
O'Leary, purchased from Indianapolis
to play the short field, has refused to
report' Magee, whose position Is left

Mack's Athletics, deserting more

temperature of 30 degrees prevented
anything In the shape of baseball. A
contest with the local Texas league team

place provided the weather man holds
