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.

The- Portland Northwestern league1
baseball season will open next Tuesday
afternoon, and from all Indications it
will be the most successful that has
ever been held. All over the north
west ther has been a -revival of in
terest in the national pastime and the
game will- undoubtedly be better sup
ported than In past years? 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.
Expressions of opinions from Presi
dent Fielder A, Jones and the various
managers show great confidence In the

By Fielder A. 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

The Northwestern league, under the
National association ruling, is only en
titled to a class B ranking, but by

mission, is allowed to pay more money

which makes It one of the strongest

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.

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.

Tacoma, Wash.i April 11. It's a lit

that Tacoma will have a stronger team
this year than we had last year. The

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
