RAMAGE LOSES
To LEvINSKY

LOS ANGELES, April 18. U.P)-
King Levinsky, aspiring after To-
cal match with Mickey Walker.
advanced his claims last night by
pounding out a 10-round decision
over Lee Ramage, promising young
San Diego heavyweight, before
10000 fans at the Olympic.
With customary abandon, the
Chicago fish peddler pursued
wide open attack and landed
enough punches to win seven of
the 10 pounds. There were no
knockdowns, Ramage keeping out
of harm IS way by adroit footwork.
Levinsky was by far the more
aggressive. He waded in at the
opening bell, throwing punches
that kept his lighter opponent
backing up during most of the fight.
Occasionally. Ramage launched an
attack of his own but his flurries
were mostly smothered or lightly
taken.
Twice Levinsky stunned Ramage
with rocking blows to the chin but
the latter averted further damage
by ducking into clinch. Ramage
later reversed the situation by jolt
ing the kingfish with right that
opened an old cut over one eye.
The decision was more popular
than the verdict awarded Art Las
ky, Minneapolis heavyweight, in a
recent bout here with Ramage.
The kingfish weighed 204 and
Ramage 1873.

NEW YORK, April 18.-Granting
that portents of opening day games
are about as reliable as a barome-
ter in a vacuum, returns from the
first days play of the 1884 major
league seaSon--in which the l6 clubs
took off in massed flight-,Seem to
indicate:
l. That the season will see a ro-
Ibust increase in attendance in both
circuits.
2. That sluggerS, rather than pit
chers, will take command.
3. That the American league will
have wide open pennant fight for
the first time in years.
4. That the National circuit bats
men have found the live" ball to
their liking.
Yesterdays attendance at the
eight inaugural games totalled 187,-
500. This did not approach the
opening record of $4,000 set in 1881
but it did show a healthy average
increase over last season when 97,-
500 attended five contests. This
years average per game was 23,437,
or an increase of 3,937 over the 1888
average.
The largest crowd, 1880, saw the
world champion Giants Wallop the
staggering Phillies at New York, and
the smallest, $500, saw the Cardin-
ais overwhelm the Pirates at st.
Louis.
Although most Of the managers
trotted out their best pitchers, bats
men were mighty active, registering
65 hits in the National and &c in
the American circuit. This was an
average of about eight safeties per
club per game-a smart average.
True, Lon Warneke of the Cubs
turned in the seasons first one-hit
performance against the Reds, and

California intercollegiate confer
ence champions, made good use of
six hits yesterday to hand another
defeat to Stanford. The score was

Stanford got IA hits off five Cal

ming and inability to bunch their
safeties kept the Indians score
down. The teams meet at Palo
Alto Saturday in the final game Of
the series.

NEW YORK, April 18.-Being
poor hand with gals l never quite
understood why fillies can't win the
Kentucky Derby, and ream Of
data on the Hambletonian trotting
stake, which has seen four of its
eight runningS taken by ladies,
doesn't help to clear things up.
If the girls can win the Hamble-
tonian it seems they ought to be
able to win the derby. The latter
is only a mile and a quarter run,
while the Hambletonian, with its
system of best two out of three
heats for victory, nearly always re-
ouires the winner to trot at least
three miles. And it's not unusual,
what with the innumerable prac-
tice starts, for Hambletonian Win-
ner to do four, five or even six
miles in an afternoon.
Last year up at Goshen, Mary
Reynolds stepped around the dusty
track four times before they drop
ped the floral life preserver around

silver plate. And the year before

cocious lass, did around four miles
before winning. All of which woult
indicate that the boys who say the
fillies aren't geared for distance
don't know what they're talking

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES

Encouraging news came out of the
Pacific northwest today to indicate
greatly revived interest in Pacific
Coast league baseball as presented
by the new dear' aggregations of
1884.
Large crowds turned out for the
opening day ceremonies at Portland
and Seattle yesterday. Much civic
enthusiasm was manifest. Cover
nors of the respective states, Ore
gon and Washington, were on hand
to make the first pitches. The re-
awakened interest reflected the at
titude of fans as shown in games
played on California soil since the
season opened two weeks ago.
The Portland Beavers, under new
management, pleased the home
town fans by defeating the Mission
Reds, to 2, in tight game. Wilson
won his third for the Beavers by
outpitching Cunningham, the Mis-
sionS veteran right handler. A ninth
inning rally decided the contest.
Seattle did not fare so we'll. Five
Indian pitchers toiled with indiffer-
ent success to check the Hollywood
Stars, but the Californians were or
top by a to score when the SLOW
game ended. The stars used three
pitchers.
The Sacramento Senators adj
vanced to second place by So vic.
tory over San Francisco'S Seals. Tit
Seals were unable to hit Vinci eff
fectively, while Donovan, a Sea
cast-off, hit two helpful home run
in the Senators cause.
Los Angeles began its third weel
with a 60 victory over Oakland
tightening the hold the 1888 cham
pions have held on first place since
the getaway. Fay Tomas hurled the
shutout, allowing only six hits.
