"HALK up the eecond victory of the
season for Portland. The Beavers
opened the J921 season before some
4500 fans, who braved a rejrular Oregon
drizzle, Wednesday with a I to 1 victory
over the Salt Lake club.
The Mackmen grabbed a two run lead
In the opening frame and held !t through
out. It was an : Impressive start before
the Portland fans. sotne 4500 of them
cheering the Beavers to their first win
In an opening:' came at home since 1914.
when they defeated Oakland by a score
of 4 to 2.
.-.-' McCredle's tossers displayed a real
offensive punch and fielded in great
style, palling off a snappy double play in
the sixth Inning.
Sil Johnson, one of the five Portland-
ers on. the clifb, was given the task of
opposing the visitors. Although a trifle
was nicked for seven bingles, but kept
them well scattered.
BK0STLET WLS TOm
Jack J3romley, the Bee hurler, was not
as rortunate as Johnson. One of the
four walks that he issued was converted
Into a run, and another paved the way
for the second tally. The Beavers gar.
nered 11 bingles, Oenin, Krug and Poole
each being credited with .two. Every
player grabbed a bingle, but Young, who
was robbed of his base knock by a great
stop by Jourdan, the new first sacker
of the Bees.
The Bees started off like winners
when Wilhoit, who grabbed, three hits in
five times up, singled after Sand popped
out to Poole. Hauger lined out to Wolfer
and then Johnson passed Jourdan and
GingLardl, filling the bases. Paddy Sig-
lin, ex-Beaver, was unable to connect
olid and was thrown out at first by
Butler.
., Walt Genin, who stepped to the plate
among the cheers of the fans, worked
Bromley' for a walk and pulled up at
second when Marty Krug laid down a
neat bunt., Wolfer smashed out a double
to center that put Oenin over the plate
with the first tally of the season. Cox
drew a base on balls and Poole smashed
a liner into left field that enabled
Wolfer to count. Butler was retired at
first and Baker drew a walk, filling the
bases, but Pooje had his signals mixed
and, in running down to third, forced
Cox off the bag and Dick was tagged
out.
BASES FILLED
After Young and Johnson were retired
cn strikes in the second, the Mackmen
filled the bases on singles by Genln and
Krug and Wolfer"s hit by a pitched ball,
but Ginglardt retired the side when he
dashed Into right center for a long fly
from Cox' bat. -
After being retired easily In the sec
ond and third, the Bees chased a run
across the plate in the fourth. Siglin
was hit by a pitched ball and advanced
to second on Byler grounder to Poole.?
He scored when Barry lifted a short sin
gle ntp left field. Wolfer made a great
effort to retire Paddy at the plate, but
his throw was a little wide.
The Beavers made their final run in
the fifth. Cox singled through short and
moved to second on' Poole's sacrifice.
Butler was 'safe on a fielder's choice,
Barry's effort to retire Cox at third
being spoiled, when the ball hit Dick in
the back. Bromley uncorked a wild
pitch on his next throw and Cox dented
the plate. Butler stole second and. after"
Baker fouled out. Young drew free
mnsporuiiioii, uui juiuioun Krvuuueu
out, ending the inning.
The Bees battled hard in the last two
innings, but Johnson tightened in the
pinches, whiffing Byler for the third
out in the eight with two runs on. Act
ing Manager Lynn, after Joe Jenkins
failed to hit in the pinch, " batted for
Bromley and was hit by a pitched ball.
Sand was retired by Baker on a high
foul and Wolfer rattled the boards in
right field, but was held by Cox fast
fielding. Hauger flied to Wolfer for the
final out. ".
FA58 BRAVE KAIJT
Jupe Pluviua put a crimp In the open
ing ceremonies, but the fans were anx
ious to see baseball and they got a nice
dish of high class playing.
Ther Stars and Stripes were raised by
four members of the marine corps,
, headed by Sergeant Davis, while Percy
Campbell's band played the "Star Span
gled Banner." The players of both clubs
assembled in center field and stood with
bared heads, while the flag was being
raised. Following this, the two teams
formed in line and marched to the home
plate. - -
Tuesday's postponed game will be
staged next Monday afternoon, weather
permitting.

University of Oregon Eugene, April
2L Jack Benefiel; of Portland, senior

graduate manager for the remainder of
the school yeari by the athletic council
Wednesday afternoon. Graduate Man
ager Marion. McClain resigned hie post
to . devote his entire time to the man
agement of the student cooperative

man for the place he was appointed.

bouts of tonight's fistic card. I
"Red" Gage. Seattle welterweight, who
accompanied Dan Salt's stable to Port
land, has been signed to battle Claire
Bromeo in the fill-in contest. i
Considerable interest is centered in the
Joe Gorman-Young Sam Langford main
event over 10 roujids. Langford is i a
very classy performer, and about a year
ago gave Gorman a hard battle over the
same number of rounds.
Both battlers are in tip-top shape, and
a fast contest is expected. This will be
Gorman's first appearance since his suc
cessful invasion of the New York ring
circles.
Eddie Jackson of Seattle will tangle
with Johnny Flske over six rounds. This
should be a fairly good contest, the win
ner of which may get a chance to battle
the winner of the main 'event. Ad
Mackie and Joe Dunn, who are capable
of putting up an even contest, will meet
in the third six-round event-of the program.

Charles Logan at the baseball park to-
day spoke up loud and offered to bet
$10 that a certain batter would reach
first base.
Til take thaV said Detective Frank
McConnelL
"We'll let that honest-looking farmer
hold the stakes," said Logan, pointing
to Detective Robert Malberg.
Malberg held the money. Half a
dozen other detectives and policemen in
plain clothes looked on and held their
smiles. The batter struck out. Mc
Connell won the money.
"Now you are under arrest," said he
to Logan. "I am a detective."
Logan was taken to the Mission sta
tion, where he was turned over ; to
Captain O'Meara on a charge of vio
lating the betting law. McConnel then
turned ' over the $20 stakes to 'the po
lice property clerk as evidence! It was
the first arrest made this season at
the ball park for betting.
Recently Chief of Police White de

DITCHER ALLAN COXKWRIGHT
A and Outfielder Bob FothergilL De
troit recruits, who refused to journey
west to join the Portland club, have been
turned over to , the Rochester club of the
International league by President Navln.
Word to this effect was received !here
Tuesday.
Manager McCredie of the Beavers was
quite surprised at the announcement, but
is daily expecting word from the Tiger
owner in regard to players to strengthen
the Portland lineup. Mac still has hopes
of landing a couple of pitchers from the
Tigers as well as Joe Sargent, the third
sacker A CLUB HOST;
Two pitchers would greatly strengthen
the Beaver staff.
The Portlanders performed in gTeat,
style in the opening came. There was
only one play at which the fans could
yelp over, ane that was Poole's stunt of
forcing Cox off third base, but the big
first-sacker made up for this by slam
ming a couple of slashing singles.
Prior to the game, the Portland play
ers were entertained at the . wteekly
luncheon of the Portland Ad club. There
was a lot of pep at the meeting ; and if
all the Ad clubbers journey out to the
park Sunday, there is going to be some
noise, as they are real boosters for the
city.
. Judge McCredie, president of the Beav
ers, in a talk made some remarks that
opened the eyes of the ball fans present
"We are beingcriticized," declared Mc
Credie, "for doing the same thing that
the major clubs are doing today. That
is going, out in the lower leagues for tal
ent to strengthen their teams.
GETS MONEY'S "WORTH
"Portland does not want to get the old
cast-offs of the majors. The fans- want
to see young ball players, and it is my
intention to get the best youngsters ob
tainable. ,
"The Portland fans have received more
good baseball for their money than
any others in the league. Portland has
sent more players to the majors than any
club in the league, and these players
have brought glory and honor to Port
land." McCredie related where Portland had
found its Peckinpaughs, Bancrofts,
Greggs and Steens, and declared that
there were several others who would ad
vance to the majors at the close of this
season. '
George S. Shepherd made a short talk
on "Theology of Baseball."' George did
it so well that he gained .enough strength
to heave over the first ball of the open
ing game.
The players were introduced to the
club members.
Weather Is
Drawback to
Major Teams
By Jack Veloek
JVEW YORK, April 21. (L N. S.) The
J-' beginning of the second week of ma
jor league baseball today found condi
tions very much unsettled in both big
leagues..'.
As usual, the weather -has acted as a
drawback. The Giants, Yankees and St,
Louis Browns are the only teams that
have lived up to pre-season predictions
so far.; . .. ' i
CHAMPS ITOT VS FORM
Indications are that the various clubs
will not begin to settle down to their nor
mal levels for several weeks to come, as
pennant races of other years have con
sistently proved. . :
The 1920 pennant winning Indians and
Dodgers, for instance, are destined to
swing ino a much stronger pace than
they have shown to date. The Cleveland
team has not found its proper balance,
but once Trls Speaker's pitchers settle
down, the world, champions will start
climbing.
The Dodgers are reaping the sour ef
fects pt poor condition. Your Uncle
Wllbe Robinson's pitchers are not in
shape, and the same goes for the other
.members of the team. ,- But the Dodgers
don't rank as a second division team.
They will come along.
BRAVES ARE SUKPKISE
r The Boston Braves Have furnished the
real .surprise of the season thus far.
Fred Mitchell haa his team on its toes.
His pitchers havebeen more than hold
ing their own. and the club, as a whole.,
is stinging the ball on the nose. Inci
dentally, the Braves are not missing
Rabbit Maranville. '
The playing of the Pirates so far has
been snappy. Maranville has undoubted
ly helped "Mooney" Gibson to set his
ship on an even keel, and Pittsburg looks
like a team capable of holding a fast
pace. ; ' : . ,-

engine noise
you cant explain
EVERY Round w miMie to tout ear when the
engine runs smoothly . and sweetly. But how
often a harsh, grafting noise, a bird-like squeak
or cren ncaTjpouuouig apwus jpuz trip:
, Can you explain this engine noise as it jars
on jour ear? Poor lubrication causes 90 of .
engine trouble. Under the terrific heat of the
engine 200 to 10CXF F, ordinary oil: breaks
down and forms great quantities ot sediment.
Why have such worries? Sediment is reduced
86 when you use Yeedol, the lubricant that
resists heat. See the two bottles at the right.
With Veedol in the engine, most serious engine
troubles . are prevented. Have your engine'
flushed out. Put in Veedol. Leading dealers
have it in stock. Ask for a supply toaay.
