Offensive Strength of Beavers Still a Source of Wonderment to
Fans and Critics of the Coast Circuit Del Howard's Men
Take Slump in Series With Seals; Rain Spoils Many Games.
By George Bertz
CHALK up another series victory for the Beavers. They Vlmmed the
s Saerdmento aggregation in three of the five games played and are
leading the Coast league procession with the handsome percentage or .(.
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.

The release of Pitcher (Slim) Love to
the San Francisco Seals by Detroit is
doubted by Judge McCredie, who be
lieves there is a mistake some place.
It, Is likely that Detroit would have
offered him to Portland before releasing
him, according to the Judge.
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. This will he played
off in double headers in the next meets

will be among those present at Vaughn

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

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.
PRIZE LIST
The great assortment of prizes have
bee., offered for the players making the
"tirst" in almost every department of
the game, except the "bone-head." For

THIS is not an 1 ex-convict
He's the "Dook." Right name
is Walter E. Schalle.r. 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.

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

HAS TRAINED HABU
All of which is slight assurance that
the Fulton-Thompson match Is going to
be more of a fighting affair than some
predict. 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. Bronson Is anx
ious to win this match to keep up his
recent string of victories. In Noye he
will find an opponent worthy of his best.
Henry Krieger a'nd Kid Meeker have j
trained faithfully for their four-round j
curtain-raiser. The winner of this pre- 1
limlnary has been promised a match j
higher on the next bill, so each boy la j
going out to make a fight of it.

Famous Slugger Gets Brown Derby

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. First eames of the season DOint ! infield- I'eckinpaugh and Pipp are the
umjr vBin iin mere., r ewster Is out be
cause of a bad injury received while in
training, and Baker is retired. 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. I got two
hits, whiffed enough times to draw a
laugh, dropped a fly ball and became
the proud possessor' of a brown derby..
