By George Bertz CHALK up another series victory for the Beavers.

This is the highest mark the Mackmen have come home with, and one of the very few times they have waltzed onto their home grounds on top of the heap Usually the Beavers are walloped hard during the first road series of the season, but this year it seems different. The Mackmen appear as the real "dark horses" of the circuit. With a youngseter at second base and a pitch ing staff that has been rebuilt, McCredie has been get ting every ounce of offensive out of his men during the first two weeks. The youngster is II. Kibby Spranger, who was not expected to get a fly ball in the Coast league, judging from the weak manner in which he touched up the itnSffffifgKiS.giiaH horsehlde in the Southland, but his work with the bat has been a surprise. He's been clicking the ball in the pinch and practi cally every hit he has made has been good for a run. appear to be an "irtand out" club.

The young twirler blanked the Yanks with five hits in the first game. Mc Nally's hitting he got four bingles featured Boston's second victory. Ross Young's trusty bludgeon worked overtime in the pinches, and the Giants broke into the won column as a result. ... The Phillies unpeeled three double plays. Dots Miller to Bancroft to Paul- ette, in their game against the Giants. ... Steve O'Neill hammered out a two bagger in a pinch in the ninth inning after Les Xunamaker, who was playing first base, had singled and stole second. So the Speakerites trimmed the Tigers. The bases were full when Gharrity came to bat for Washington in the fourth against the Athletics and slammed out a double. Al Schacht pitched shutout ball for the Griffmen. Jim Vaughn's single, which scored a runner, and Flack's double, which scored two more in the twelfth Inning, enabled the Cubs to defeat St. Louis. Two errors by Kabbitt Maranville contributed largely to Boston's defeat at the hands of the Dodgers.

DEFENSE WEAK Against the Sacramento team last week, the Markmen collected .r2 hits In five games, a little better than two blows a game.' They Bcored an average of over five runs per contest, which ihown that their offensive is working In great style. On the defense, they seem to be rather unsteady, eight errors being charged to .hem. In hase stealing, they picked up and In extra base clouting, they outhit Bill rtodgers' reputed sluggers handily. The manner In which Boss Walter is shifting hi." pitchers this season is caus ing considerable comment, among the fans. That's what he should have done last year. Mac could not have done it last year because he did not have the pitchers. This season he has eight on his list and he loses little time in chas ng them to the showers.

There were five postponed games in the league last week and three the week before, making a total of eight games in the first two? weeks.

Grammar School Sections Find It Difficult to Schedule Games For Wednesday. RAIN thoi or shine, it doesn't look as though there will be any games in the four sections of the Portland Gram mar School Baseball league Wednesday. W". A. Dickson, chairman of the base ball committee and leader of section 1, will be among those present at Vaughn street grounds to see the opening of the 1S20 Pacific Coast league season .if his present plans are carried out and the majority of the players in his division will be there, too. Mrs. A. K. Watson, leader of section 2 was asked if there would be any games in her class Wednesday. "Well, hardly," she replied. "Isn't that the opening of thu baseball season in Port land? It wouldn't be just right to offer a counter attraction on that day." "There is no use asking my players to stage a game," says T. E. Speirs. principal of Arleta school and leader of section 3, "and I know the little fellows of other schools in this division feel the same way. I haven't misaed very many opening day games in Portland and I don't propose to be deprived of seeing Wednesday's affair unless, of course, something unforeseen happens between now and the time they call Play ball.'

JUDGE M'CREDIE. president of the Portland Beavers, does not rely on the United States weather bureau re ports any more. He's his own . mete orologist. Hs does not come out with straight predictions, because he has no wind gage." His prediction for Wednesday, the opening day of the baseball season, reads like this: If the wind shifs to the north it will be fine, but if it comes from the south, "good night." The government forecast for Wednes day is generally fair ; westerly winds. Not knowing just what the weather cenditions would be, the judge assembled with the Portland Baseball Boosters Monday afternoon and completed plans for the parade and opening day fes tivities. President Frank Callahan believes that if weather conditions are right that Portland will shatter the opening day at tendance record. The parade will form at Fourteenth and Alder streets, and traverseover the following streets : East Alder to Sixth, Sixth to Morrison, east on Morrison to Third ; north on Third to Burnside ; west on Burnside to Sixth ; south on Sixth to Washington and out Washington to Tenth. The pa rade will move at 1 o'clock promptly.

Occupation, left fielder and clean-up hitter of the Portland baseball club. This is Schaller's second season with the Beavers. It should be one of the best in his career, which started with the Springffeld club in the Three-I league in 1910, as he is in better condition than any time since coming to the Pacific coast in 1914. Schaller was born in Chicago, September 23, VSS9. He is the sec ond oldest player on the Beaver squad, being one year younger than "Tex" Wisterzil. "Biff," as he is better known to the fans, has had two trials In the majors, Detroit giving him two dif ferent chances and the White Sox grabbing him after the Tigers let go of him the second time. After one year at Springfield, De troit grabbed him and kept him on the bench all season. The next year he played with Kansas City, and was recalled by the Tigers, and after failing to meet qualifications. was claimed under the waiver rule by the White Sox. The Sox held him for the remain der of the season, and in 1915 he was released to San Francisco. He remained with the Seals fcur years. He was in service during the war, and last year was signed by Seattle, coming to Portland during the clos ing weeks of the season. He played great ball for the Beavers, winning many games with his "H. R." clouts. "Biff" is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds. He is the life of the Beaver camp, but does not like the high "multitude" in Utah, and thinks that a utility player's services are worth about 10 cents, on the basis of a player being worth what he draws in at the gate.

SUNDODGERS HAVE FIVE TRACK MEETS ON 1920 SCHEDULE By Bob T UMOU, ever active, ever suspicious. has it that Tom O'Rourke, manager, and Fred Fulton, boxer, are less cordial toward each other since the match with Jack Thompson was clinched. j The old dame who provides mental pabulum and scandals for sewing circles declares that Fulton is somewhat plaued ! because O'Rourke chose for him such a hard nut as the gorilla-lika Thompson. The whispering goes that Fulton, while not afraid to risk his rising reputation in a match with Thompson, felt that his astute manager might have chosen easier pugilistic game for him than the brown skinned caveman. KO OPES BHKAK The same brand of rumor continues to the effect that Fulton's chagrin at his manager is so deep-rooted that he has 'decided to cancel early forthcoming matches, as a rebuke to O'Rourke, and hie himself to mountain streams and antrle for trout as a means of diverting his mind from thlhga pugilistic and man agerial. Of course, there has been no open break between O'Rourke and Fulton, be cause Fulton Is sensible enough to know that he owes more to Tom O'Rourke than he does to all his preceding man agers combined. Nevertheless, the ru mor is robust that Fulton's displeasure at the Thompson match Is of such a na ture that only overwhelming victory for lXMiaon. April 20. Articles weresigneUj mm can eradicate It. In the event that Monday for a 20 round match between , Thompson draws with big Fred, or up Kid Lewis and Johnny Basham, the wel- sets him but such a prospect is too terweight champion.

It is certain that Fulton Is not ; taking: the match light-heartedly. He i has trained so vigilantly' and .as care- fully as he ever trained before. He re- allies that a setback or an even fight with Thompson will stagnate his record j and put him down a peg or two. j Thompson looks to be In superb shape j for Wednesday nlpht's battle. His skin ! is like corrugated Iron from his head down to his waist. Yesterday he said he weighed 205 pounds and measured 6 ', feet 1 Inch in hetRht. He Is 10 pounds lighter than Fulton and 3 Inches shorter: but his lone ape-like arms, of the Sam Tjapffford type, pive him a reach almost as extensive as the plasterer's. , . i Mexican Joe Lawson will be tackling a man rmich larger than himself when he meets Tiny Herman fOscar Koch), Chet Mclntyre's Astoria heavyweight. Herman will outweigh Iawson or 35 pounds and tower over him. but Lawson expects to overcome this by more ex perience and greater ' hitting power. They are scheduled for the 10-round seml-wlndup. Frank Pete and Joe Gorman will be seen In a six-round affray.' They sre fllthters who like rough fjoinir. Bronson and Noye will flKht in- an other six-round affair.

Famous Slugger Gets Brown Derby By Babe Rath ''opyrifiht, 1920, by I'niUd News.) OSTON, Mass., April 20. A tight race is in prospect in the American league this summer and the Yankees are going to be in it. Cleveland and De troit, I believe, the other contending B' by that sort of thins. Last year I hit only .185 for the first two months of the season, but I finished with a satis factory average, I believe. The Yankees are starting with some nervousness, of course, due to the fact that there are two youthful faces In the THREE PLACES. One at Park and Alder Sts., Cornelius Hotel Two at Broadway and Washington Street "The Most Talked of and the Best Thought of Eating Places in the City' I that way. These three clubs have a start that makes them look mighty good. They have received good pitching, which means their staffs are in condition for hard work right from the start, and when that happens, a tough race is the result. The White Sox must not be under rated. They have lots of talent and will make a fight for every game, but they will miss ChiC Gandil, who failed to re port for first base duty. Eddie Cicotte will not be so effective as in former years, due to legislation against soiling the ball. I expect him to resort to the spitball and the use of the crafty Judg ment he possesses even more than in former years. VAXKS ARE STRONGER The Yankees are stronger than last sr, when they finished third. They 1 I have Carl Mays all season this year d that means a whole lot. tor there Is better pitcher than Carl when he Is ght f , haven't started hitting yet rown derbies have nothing to do with atting averages and I can't be kidded clubs.

Meusel is at third base and Ward at second. Both are youngsters, but they are play ing fine baseball. There Is a wealth of talent among the Yankees and they are a better ball club than a year ago, which certainly means they will give Detroit And Cleveland a hard fight. BROOKLYN GOING GOOD As for the National league I can't talk much about that circuit Just now. We played the Brooklyn club while south and they are very strong. If any club beats them out it will have to play real baseball. We met the Reds twice in exhibition games, but they were not very impressive. They seem to have taken a brace since getting into the National league ' season. So far, this season gives all appear ances of being a record breaker. The Athletics fought the Yankees off their feet In our opening .seriep.
