the best pitched game of any of the
Beaver hurlers so far In this training
camp, has set McCredie to thinking, i
"Callahan ought to be a winning
pitcher in the Coast league," said Boss
McCredie, "if he is worked only one
he Is strong enough to work twice i a
week. I guess his work last Monday
made some of the old fellows sit VP

Jn "Covaleskle is looking good for the

Carisch, who caught him in the short
time he worked against Indianapolis,
thinks he has a lot of stuff. Carisch
ays that he has a ball that breaks
two ways and it Is one that will
trouble the batters. Hi wever, he has
rot been here long enough, to show
anything. j

the story, tells It fchla way:

"It I so happened jthat the ref

He had examined the men be

"I keep moving a'rouftd the plate
against different kinds of pitchers.
For a curve ball pitcher , I keep be
hind the plate and catch the curve
after it breaks. For a spitball pitcher
I crowd the plate and step upon the
pitch, getting the ball before it orfeaks.
"I have studied spitball pitchers and
none of them fools me. You take the

There Is an - uhtinunl 'amount of In
terest in motorboat racing among Uif
members of the Portland Motoiloat

covering the proposed classification of
boats and governing the running of

the past couple of weeks.
Leonard Myers, chairman of ther re
gatta committee, and his assistant
have been hard at work getting all the
available Information and 'suggestions
Into a set of rules that would best fit
the local situation.

In all probability there will be six
classes, including- a free-for-all, open
to boats, irrespective of power,, up to
40 feet over all, -and including a cruis
er class open to all boats coming under
the committee's definition of a cruis
er. The first four classes will be de
fined according to the cylinder capac
ity and displacement and will enable
practically all types and sizes of
boats, not covered In the cruiser clas.i,
to find a proper classification for en
try. ' .
A table of speeds, Is being worked
out which will enable the committee
to quickly classify the boats into their
respective classes, upon completion of
speed, trial ever a set course.
The length of the racing course will
vary according to the different classes
from five miles up to 25 miles, with
short legs on the lap to enable the
boats to be kepV within sight of the
Judge's stand as much as possible.
Plying Starts Used,
Tbe club's official measurer, Ernent
Von der Werth, will cooperate with the
racing committee in determining the
elass Into which the particular boat
belongs and In certifying as to the
cylinder capacity of the motor.
Kxcept the entries in the free-for-all,
all boats will be expected to make
a speed trial over a sot course to en
able their ratings to be determined.
Any boat exceeding this rating by
probably"?70 in any regular race will
be disqualified.
Races to be open to any boat or
boats belonging to' .any rucogni.fd
yacht or power club, and open to unat
tached individuals upon approval of
racing officials, Rtartt to be. flying

may qualify for entry Into a higher
class upon proper showing being made.
