He was well supported by the team, only one error being com- mitted, and that was made by Lynch on a fast bouncer out in center. The home team as a whole looks good and the way the boys were handed flow- ers by the fair ones would lead any one to believe they were born favorites. Burns, Kelly, Leahy and Hodson all got a nice little offering when they stepped to the plate, and Announcer Copeland delivered a wondrous speech in each instance. The score: SAN FRANCISCO. AB R. BH.

Aside from all these bright features there was & victory for the home team, and that was worth something. More than two hours before time ar- rived for play on the diamond the ball- toggers of the two rival teams jumped uine ring 6 WBItINg carriages and were ariven through the main thoroughfares of the town. In front of them rode a full brass band, t made lots of noise and some music, and in front of the band the human megaphone rode on a noble steed and yelled till the echoes of his voice made the band stop playing. The parade lined up in front of the ball perk at 1 o'clock and &t once made a stert for the populous downtown districr. ‘There the cavalcade began to attract the attention of the passerby and every man who forgot that the season was about to open soon woke up and began to realize that the big event was due to come off in a burry. Along Market street the bunch wended its way, the man with the megaphone voice shouting his loudest, the band play- ing its hardest, the magnates looking their pleasantest and the baliplayers all trying to look like heroes. When the pro- cession had finally gone over the ground thoroughly it was decided that Recreation Park was the place and accordingly ail made haste to the South Bide lot. CROWD ARRIVES EARLY. When the players and the band and the megaphone and the magnates pulled up 2t the park an immense crowd was in waiting 1o receive them. As soon as the important personages made thelr way in- mide the fans began to follow and by o'clock it looked like the real old times within the high board fence. The inveterate crank was there once again with his bag of peanuts and he for- got for the time being he had outside troubles that needed his attention. He saw before him the green diamond and on it the ball-tossers, his true heroes, and he knew that at last the time had come and he was accordingly happy. When the time arrived for play the grounds were well filled. The right field bleachers presented a scene of activity and the grand looked its best. Fully 7000 people were on the spot when Rube Levy gave the sign for the troubte 10 commence. The Portland players were the first to go out on the fleld for practice. They ‘were attired in natty drab uniforms, with dark brown stockings and caps. They went et their work 1ith a vim and life minutes and then the game was called. HOME TEAM SCORES. Portland went to the bat as soon as President Moran of the Pacific Coast League succeeded in throwing a lofty one over the plate. Claude Schmeer, the first man up, lined out a stiff one at Burns that looked like one to beat out. Burns was right there and by a nice throw he retired the runner at first, opening the season with a pretty plece of fielding. Portland made a couple of hits in the first round and nearly scored, buj a pret- ty relay throw from Krug to Irwin to Leahy cut off the tally and set the big crowd wild with delight. Then the home team tock a chance at the bat. Lynch, the first man up, got a pass from Pitcher Butler, and Meany did likewise. While Butler still held the ball the men got away with a douple steal and a moment later Lynch crofsed the plate with the first run of the year on Irwin's long fly to center. In the third the visitors began to get into the game and they rolled up a run in a hurry. Van Buren drew the only pass Hodson issued during the game and, aided by a steal and Smith’s single, he got all the way around and tied up the score. In the third Irwin, for the home team, connected for a single and Pabst sacrificed him. Shay did the rest with a swat to right field and the home team had the lead again. Then the calamity was not long in com- ing to pass. With Irwin and Krug on the bases in the fourth and two gone, Pabst lined a torrid one down to Schmeer. He threw to Zinssar at second to cut off Irwin, but the baseman dropped the throw, and while the excitement lasted Meany scampered to the plate, closely followed by Krug. This made the Portland men look se- rious, but the look changed to one of chagrin and despair'in the seventh, when, with Krug and Irwin on the bags, Pabst sent the ball on a trip beyond the center field fence, and the game belonged to Frisco beyond the shadow of a doubt. This feat performed by the old favorite satisfled the crowd, and after that they began to sympathize with the Portland players when they knew well that it did no good. PORTLAND'S HEAVY HITTERS. The northern players look like a band of stickers, but in ‘he field they do not appear the equal of the home aggrega- tion and lack ginger in their work. In Smith and Van Buren, the outfielders, Portland has a pair that can hit almost anything. The former got three nice ones out of four times at bat. He has a long left handed sweep that seems to be the correct thing. Butler, the big pitcher, formerly work- ed for Baltimore and looks like a good one. He was a trifle wild yesterday and was weak in fielding his position. Hod- son, on the other hand, had all sorts of LOS ANGELES, March 2.—The Los Angeles and Seattle teams of the Pacific Coast League opened the baseball season this afternoon at Chutes Park. Los An- geles won by the score of 2 to L The game was fast and interesting from start to finish, but without special Feature aside from the pitching of Dr. Newton of Brooklyn. Newton pitched six innings and allowed three hits. Hickey was ef- fective, but a trifle wild at times. The first scoring occurred in the third inning, when Los Angeles made two runs on Hoy's pass to first, Smith’s single to center field, a wild pitch by Hickey and Dillon’s well-placed single to right fleld. Seattle scored {its single tally in the fifth. Hannivan hit a liner to right field, which Ross attempted to scoop, but missed. The ball went to the fence and counted as a three-bagger. Hemphill brought Hanni- van in with a clean single to left center. Things locked bad for Seattle in the fourth. With three men on bases and one oue, the visitors retired the side without a score. Wheeler relieved Newton in the seventh and held Wilson's men down to one hit. Attendance, 350. There was a parade before the game, in which Mayor Snyder, the city and county officials, the two ball teams and directors of the Los Angeles Baseball Assoclation occupied automobiles. _ Mayor Snyder started the game by tosSing the first ball to Hurley of Seattle.

Denver Boxer Is Still Said to Be Some Pounds Overweight. Young Corbett must be supremely con- fident of his ability to defeat Terry Mc- Govern. At a time when his friends ex- he is indulging himself and taking mat- ters easy. It is possible he underestimates | the man he defeated once before, as he yah\'u)s claims Terry is one fighter of whom he knows himself to be the master. Corbett was on the road yesterday morning. In the afternoon he cut out his indoor work entirely and instead went swimming at Sutro Baths. Corbett was contident before the Hanlon fight that he would weigh in without difficulty. When the time came he nearly killed him- self to get under the 13)-pound notch. His weight Is still hovering about that figure, although he must make 127 pounds next Tuesday at 4 o’clock. i The efforts of McGovern's trainers are being directed toward building him up to this weight, as he could take off several In view of this Terry is [feasing up in his training work at Croll's Gardens in Alameda. He is in splendid | fettle now and takes just enough exer- | cise to keep himself on edge. He went | on the road yesterday morning and reeled 4| off some five miles, alternately running and walking. Upon returning to his gymnasium he battied with the punching bag for nearly an hour, and skipped rope and indulged in shadow hoxing for almost another | hour. After luncheon Terry spent four !h(l:rs resting in his room. With his trainers, he then went out on the road !agaln. He did no gymnasium work at all | during the afternoon, and thereby disap- | pointed a large crowd who visited his camp with the expectation of seeing the | Brooklyn demon in action. McGovern is somewhat of a baseball player, and occa- sic diverts himself by batting out flies and fielding on the grounds near his training place, which were made famo upward of twenty years ago by the only John L., who umpired a championship same there between the old Ploneers and Haverlys. Te will gradually cut boxing from his training programme to avoid the possibility of sustaining an in- jury to his hands. The question of a referee remains un- settled. Harry Corbett is the choice of both men, and they are brining unusual pressure to bear on him to accept. He received a telegram from Timothy (Dry Dellar) Sullivan, the prominent New York politician, yesterday urging him to accept. Otto Floto, sporting editor of the Den- ver Post and manager of the club which promoted a number of big fights there, arrived in the city yesterday.. He gave Young Corbett his start in the boxing game and is interested in his welfare. He is at Sheehan's Beach Tavern with Cor- bett, where he will remain until after the fight. The following is a list of' the boxers both McGovern and Corbett have met and the outcome of the battles: YOUNG CORBETT. TERRY McGOVERN., George Dixon, K. 0.

Pardee Pitches the First Ball in the Game at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, March 26.—The open- ing game of the season was graced by the rresence of Governor Pardee. Three thousand spectators saw him pitch the first ball over the plate and repeatedly cheered him from the moment he appear. e until he took his departure shortly af- terward. Hon. Elwood Bruner delivered the opening address. During the first six innings, Coo T, Wh did the pitching for the vlllton.pvevu to: puzzling in his work to give the home team a chance, while Thomas was found for six safe hits, and four runs for the Oaklands crossed the rubber. After that the Sacramento team settled down to business and in the next three innings they sent a volley of hits into the field that resulted in seven runs and victory. The opening parade was Impressive, as after traversing the principal busine: streets of the city In automobiles the players headed by a band marched into the field and up the dlamond in splendid order. Nearing the home plate the two teams separated, marched to their re- spective benches and were loudly cheered by the spectators. Score: . ~Sacto SACRAMENTO, AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A. B.
