KORES AGAINST THEM ALL -Lefty rlficld Eu an Easy Time of It "Whin His Mat i Bip huni Off ' the Old lutbtlL San Francisco, Cal., April II. Come wow the tale of the slaughter Of the innocent. The Seals were the slaugh terers anil Ross McCredie' s Juvenile Pitchers wore the victims. Included In the geueral destruction was one of McCredirt's experienced veterans, the usually dependable HIgginbotham. The Honorable . Hlg was driven from the slab, , and was succeeded by Harold Peet. Harold's career was brief. When he was (ho1sted from the proceedings, Herbert' 8a I veson, familiarly known as Sal, was sent In to check the Seals. Sal did It, but before he got Into proper working order the score had climbed up to 14 to 4. with Uie Seals once again on the winning end. It was a hitting game, as far as the Seals were concerned. They hit Just shout as they pleased. It a man got on a base, the ne-xt batsman calmly deliberately and with intent thereby to put a nlc-k In a pitcher's record. mashed out a safe hit. Also tne next man did the same thing. Jerry Biffed It, Too. Look upon Jeremiah Downs, the cele brated d"er slayer of the Oregon bor der. Jeremiah did considerable hit ting. He hit a. pair of two baggers that sent runs acroHs the plate and -caused the brow of Hohs Alack to wrin kle In scowls of rage. Ixok alvo upon Biff Schaller. the prominent product of the prairies o Chicago. Biff oroHed the plate three times, which In thes times figures as a' lot of plate crossing. .And look, also upon Babbit Mun ' dorf f, whoso very nme moved a Shasta county juogo to compassion just, anou the-time ' Mundy looked to be due for ' a. stiff fine for shooting a deer when it wasn't lookfng. The Babbit utarted the run getting in the first Inning by swiping the ball lover the fence when two were on. the bases. That really Is the beginning of the tale. Lefty Leifield had put three bat ters aw? fir rwp Tlre-WderTTlfetf came Irve Irlcglnbothara with the slab. Tobln filed to right and Patsy O'Leary was out, Korea to Fpeas. Then 1 went wild. He walked Schaller and iHwnn In succession. Whereupon Mt'indorff hit th ball over the fence and three runs were In for the Seals, Dutchman Kit Xt. Korr-fViAuhled in the second and Gu FisherS nt him across the plate with a scrar fiy hit to right. Thus did th -Beavers get on the score board, and tho prospect wasn't so bad for the gen tlemen from the north. " The Seals' margin got wider in the third when Rchaller singled to right and f)owns followed with his first two bagger that sent Biff all the way around the cir cuit. Boss McOredle began to suspect HIgginbotham of bing somewhat be low standard about this time snd rushed Peet to the warm-up line. How ever. Hlg' chances looked better when In the next Inning Kores put a.homer over the wall and Davis made the clr eujt on Ms own single and another one by Brashear, who batted for Fisher. Corhan started the fourth with a ingle. Schmidt followed with a safe ," poke to right field, Corhan scoring. Lei field .fanned, but Josephu Tohln came -. across with a smash to the right field . boards. This was the finish of HIg ginbotham, and is related merely be cause it leads tip to Hlg's downfall. A double steal manipulated by Schmidt and Tobln put Schmldty across the " " : " '"- V : ' 1 ' T. i ' i plate and the Seals were again three runs to the good. Ssal Excltemenf Coming. But this was nothing. A mere mat ter of six runs was scarcely worth considering. The real excitement hap pened In the fifth inning. Young Mr. Pect, flushed with the desire for con quest, bubbling over with ambition, hopeful for this, his first chance to show of what stuff his arm is made, started that fifth inning with a prayer and a look of earnest concern. But he didn't do all that had been hoped for him. He. walked Biff Schaller. Im mediately thereafter Jerry Downs hit another two bagger, scoring Biff. Mun dorff hit, Howard hit, Corhan hit. How ard was on third and Corhan on first when McCredie decided on another change, and this time It was Salveson to whom the burden of saving the situ ation was entrusted. Score: PORTLAND. AB. It. H.

All of the clubs have reported strengthening, and .the race should be an interesting and at the same time, a pretty even one from start to finish. Just now it looks as if Spokane has the best club in the league, while Portland will need to be strengthened a little to remain in the first division, but this Judge McCredie and Manager Williams will do at the first sign of weakening. The presence of Outfielder Dave Milligan will mean a lot to the strength of the local club.

Jones, President of Northwestern Baseball League. The Northwestern Baseball league, a charter member of the National asso ciation opens the 1914 season Tuesday afternoon, April 14, In TacomaT Seattle and Spokane with the best balanced teams since its organisation. The four' last clubs in the pennant race last year have been greatly strengthened in all departments and are bound to give the 1913 leaders a harder fight during this season. Joe McGinnlty, manager of the Ta- coma team, has cut out all the weak spots In his lineup and is bound to be one of the contenders for the pennant. McGinnlty underestimated the strength of the league and has found out by his year's experience - that there Is. little difference in the playing strength of the Northwestern and the International leagues. Spokane has a new man at tjie head of its baseball organization and has Mike J. Lynch, a n. old, experienced manager,-to run the club. The Spo kane lineup this coming .season looks U be the strongest that has ever rep resented that city. Seattle has added htttlng.strength to Its team and with the pitching staff working In last season's form and Tealy Raymond at the managing end The More of 100 Per Cent Serrle Mens Ralston Skoes for Spring Ready You're invited to come tomorrow and see the many clever new spring styles and leathers we have for you in the celebrated Ralston Shoes for men.

Steinbach & Co. v President At Fourth should well represent the Sound city In the league Vancouver, Portland and Victoria lost a lot of men by drafts and sales, but have replaced them with others of known ability, who are bound to give these cities the- kind of baseball to which they aro entitled. The Northwestern league, under the National association ruling, is only en titled to a class B ranking, but by special permission of th,e national com mission, is allowed to pay more money t its players than any class A league, which makes It one of the strongest leagues In organized baseball. By Sllke Lynch, Manager of the Spokane Clnb. Spokane, Wash., April 11. With Just as good a pitching staff, as fast an infield and .catchers as there are; in th league, bo far as I am able' to Judge, I believe Spokane has a pretty good chance for the pennant this year. Of course every one of the other teams has a number of new men I never saw -work, bttt I afhVeady to put my men against them. With an equal break of luck we will have about the best team In the league throughout the season. We'll make them gt some for that pennant any way. I expect to pitch Smith, and put Shea behind the bat in the opening game with Victoria. shape it will be bard to beat. A lot depends on how good the players work together and after the first couple of weeks, I expect tKem to have their team work down pat. I have not picked up a bunch of individual stars. My infield is as good as any in the league. The pitching staff will be very good and the catching staff will be better than it was last season, because Murray has improved very much and is taking the game more seriously. WASHINGTON 1st IN ANNUAL BOAT KA0E, OAKLAND Stanford Is Winner in Fresh man Eight Oared Race on Estuary.. of By R. P. Brown,' Manager of the Vancouver Club, Vancouver, B. C, April 11. I am thoroughly satisfied with the showing of my players in the exhibition series, and I fully expect to see Vancouver right up in front. I believe we have the best pitching corps in the league and one that will keep up in front. The Infield is stronger in . hitting than last year, while the outfielders are playing right up to form. Jimmy Clark will pitch the first game for Vancouver at Tacoma. The batting or der will be as follows: Shaw, left field; Bennett, second base, McCarl, first base; Frisk, right field; Brlnker, center field; Heister, third base; Scharney,, shortstop; Cheek, catcher; Clark pitcher. By J. J. McGinnlty, Manager Tacoma Club. Tacoma, Wash.i April 11. It's a lit tle early in the season to make pre dictions. I don't know anything about he other team. i I do know, however, that Tacoma will have a stronger team this year than we had last year. The team 's making ; a satisfactory show ing so far. By Tealy Raymond, Manager of Seattle Club. Seattle. Wash.,! .April Jl. Let 'er go. I am ready with a team that is as. good as any that has represented Seattle for years. We have finished a beneficial solution of training and tjie men are in excellent condition for the fray. I think that I have the best Infield on the circuit: amy satisfied with my catching staff; my outfielders, if they hit, will take care of that end, and I bave the best pitching staff that has ever represented ;Seattle. If things gro as I look for them to, -we will be light in the race for tb,e championship. of By R. L. Williams, Maaager Portland Colts.

While I will have practically a new ball club this spring, I am confident that X can claim a rirst avvision bertn, ix not a I will have Carney the bat, while Narve- pennant winner, t o work behind son will strengthen my already strong twirling staff. (At first I have Ryan, a youngster, wno should hit .800 In this league, while Nye, at second, hit -296 in the New England league last year. I will- play short myself, with Scanlon at third. That infield should hit pretty close to .290 as a body. In the outfield Cruijrt and Zimmerman are certainties, both of whom will clout the ball close to the charmed circle, while Felts and Dashback will alter nate In left field until I secure a harder hitter. Oakland. Cal.. April 11.
