11 TITE MOKXTXG OTCTGONTAN, TTJTPAY. DECEMBER 15. 1911. PLAYERS DISCUSS PROPOSED TRADE Portland Colony Is Divided in Opinions on Hal Chase-Walter Johnson Deal. EXCHANGE IS NOT CLOSED Dicky Knox, Krrrntric Man Former ly In North v tern League Said to llaxf Fallen - Heir to 8nn Fortune. FI TV. J. rKTRA IV. Ooulp In Portland U Inter colony of baseball player has It that negotia tions are pendlntr between the New Tors: and tVashlnict -n cluhs. of the .American I-eaa-ue. for the etrhansjlnir of Klrst H'man llal Chase for Pitcher Walter Johnson. Various play ers here tlo not airree upon the advis ability of the exchange. Manager M-Crrdle. of the rortlanl team, said that If he owned the New Tork club he would -be stronsr for the trade, but. that If he owned Washing ton, he would not consider It at alL Fielder Jones expressed a similar opin ion, while, on the other hand. Harry Abies thought the deal was a prospec tive rood one for both clubs. Referring to the report McCredie, aid: "I do not think It will go through, for Washington will not dare to trade Johnson. If I owned that team I would not trade him for any other man In either big league, except Ty Cobb. New Tork couUl easily af ford to part with Chase, for that club kaa Jack Knight, who Is a corking good first baseman, and Johnson would be the man who would make the High landers a pennant-winner. It would be a great trade for New Tork. but a poor one for Washington, where John son Is a great favorite." "Washington has a big pitcher named Caahlon. who is going to be another Johnson, and on this account the trade looks to me Ilk a good one. If It goes through." said Abies. "Chase, would help that Washington Infield 100 per cent, while Johnson would be the mak ing of the New Tork club. With Cash Ion looming up strongly, Washington would not miss Johnson so much." Somewhere In the Kast they are bunting for Dtcky Knox, the eccentric ballplayer, who was one of the char acters In the old Northwestern Irsue. A relative has died and left Knox a fortune, and. according to Manager. McCredta thla ought to prova a od aend to the old-time player. "I saw Knox In Sacramento last sea son." said Walter McCredle, "he was down and out. and looked It. He bad been 'hoboing' It for several years, tie told me. If he ever bears of thla windfall, be' II beat It for the acene Im mediately." e e e Harry Ablea waa nursing a 'lovely crouch" yesterday. This waa the rea son: An enterprising manager In the California Winter League aent the big ex-Oakland hearer a telegram request ing Ablea to report to the Ventura club Immediately, offering him the mu nlnoent salary of $li a week, the big pitcher to pay his own way to that place. The offer, however, la not what caused the grouch, for. the telegram cam collect and coat Ablea three-quarters of a slmoleon. So there's a reason for the grouch. -Abe" spent two hours yesterday af ternoon framing np a telegram con taining 100 words, which he announced ho would "shoot back at that guy col lect." Just to sea how he would Ilka It. The old stands and bleachers on the ball park at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets have been almost com pletely demolished. Contractor Kel ler's force of workmen having raxed the structures during the past two days. The work of constructing; the new plant will begin MonOay. Kx-Judge McCredle la also at work planning a new tiling system for the new playing field. The present field will be entirely reconstructed, and a system of tiling placed which la calcu lated to drain the entire grounds In short order. With the new system, the WrCrrrttes figure that a game of ball ran be played within two hours after the hardest rain storm. It Is practically certain that Jess F to vail will not be with Nick Williams' th Colts have decided to let the ex Northwestern Leaguers next season, for both the McCredlrs and the leader of Vernon player go. l"ett!grew, Fpras and Fries are figured upon to make as speedy a trio of gardr ners as can be boasted of by any other club In the class B circuit. Just what will be done with Ptovall has not been announced by th magnates or the manager, but It la possible that he will be given his unconditional release. e -If th Philadelphia National via Tom Seaton cautiously he will prove a winning pitcher for that club." said Manager McCredle yesterday. "Th great fault with featon Is that he does nt possess the free, easy delivery of BUI teen, and on that account he taxes th muscles of his arm and shoulder more than should b neces sary. He Is frequently troubled with a sere arm. but the Phillies, by using him Judiciously, can get a lot of good work out of this pitcher."

L1TTLK JOE RAIDT was one or me most popular ball players who ever graced a Portland uniform, but his failure to hit the ball while In the Pacino Coast League cost him his Job with Portland. This speedy little fellow came to the Portland team from the Illon club of the New Tork State League, and he played here until J. P. Marshall and the Portland magnates Induced Wallace Holllngsworth to Jump Dugdal and re-enter th Tactile Coast organisa tion. After leavlne; Portland. Raldy re turned to the New Tork State League, and waa manager of aeveral different cluba In that organisation for several years. Later he went to the Columbus club of the American Association, and having acquired the knack of batting somehow, he played two seasons with Columbus and waa given a trial by a major league club. Hla atatur was against him. and. while he was quit aa large aa Johnny Ever, he had not that players ability and failed to ""lie drifted back to the New Tork State League, where he Is still Pav ing, llaldy haa many frlenda In Port land who remember him aa a gentle manly, clean little player, and who were really disappointed at being sup planted by such a player aa Holllngs worth. AMATEUR ATHLETICS PITZGERALD. Columbia University's all-around man. was yesterday chosen captain for th coming aeason. He has won the position of all-star center twice, and will attempt to win glory in the same position this Winter. On the football team he tilled both cen ter and fullback at times and played fin same at both positions. All the managers of the high school football teams report as having passed a successful season financially. Th crowds which have watched the games thla season have outnumbered any that have watched the matches formerly. Baseball last Spring was a complete failure In this respect, only Lincoln be ing able to mak anything over Its ex penses. Even If baaeball la poor thla Spring, th surplus now on hand In th high school treasuries will easily carry th teams over.
