He has ar ranged to participate In a hunt In the t at Canyon country with Billy Mile, the Santa Maria Impresario, who ta something of a nlmrod himself. Rodger write thst he Is feeling fine and Is anxious for the season to open. He says that he was never In better shape to start playing than he Is right now. for the strenuous exercise of climbing mountains 'and running down bear tracks ha put Mm In great physical condition. ' The captaincy of the Champion dur ing the coming season lies between Rodger and Kappa. Manager MeCre die. before leaving for California last Sunday, announced that he had not se lected any one as field captain, but ad mitted that It mould be either "Roaring Bill" or Vhubby Bill," and one of them will be named when the team reports at the Spring training camp. While BUI Rodger has the distinc tion of being the first of the Beaver to sign up for 1911. Bobby Coltrin 1 also In line as the first, of Nick Wil liams' Colts to affix his signature to the contract submitted to him about a week ago. Coltrin Is wintering at fan "Jos and Is anxiously awaiting the call for Spring training. He Is keeping himself In trim by playing with several different independent clubs in San Jose and vicinity, and writes that, while he Is a little heavy, he. expect to be down to wetcht before the team assemble at Santa Maria or wherever MeCredie elects to condition his squadron of ball players who will be candidates for places on the two team. Manager William I particularly taken with Bobby Coltrin, whom he considers one of the brightest pro-r-ect picked up In years. Last season this youngster broke Into professional baseball from the sandlots of San Jose and San Francisco, and played a fast game for the Portland Northwestern league. Ills style and speed at field ing are especially pleasing to the lead er of the Colt. President Jones, of the Northwestern League, also recognizes the promise of development shown last season by Coltrin. The returning of the first two con tracts to baseball headquarters, and the fact that both were signed, caused sunshine to permeate the McCredle offices. Manager Nick Williams and Hugh McCredle. Jr., secretary of the Portland club, were on hand and both were quite elated over the auspicious beginning the return of contracta re ceived. Jesse Garrett was present at heed quarters and said that he had received bis 1912 contract, but refused to say whether or not It was satisfactory. 7 he little Texan announced hta retire ment from the game a few weeks ago. and insists that he has stot reconsidered the "Adelina Pattl"-"Hara Wagner" stunt. "Speck" Harkneoa mas also seen flit ting around headquarters, but he wa mo busy puffing away on a-sensation In the may of plpea presented hlra at Christmas, as well as being pre-occu-pled In the discussion of how to run an automobile in the snow, to be bothered about baseball. "Speck' has been in-lucled Into the artifices of pilot ing a buxs cart of late, and that Is all he ran talk about. So far he has escaped kiling himself or any of the courageous friends, and acquaintances whom he has invited to "take a ride" with him. so he Is naturally somewhat Inflated over h's "ability." After "Speck" lias climbed a few telephone poles, hit a streetcar or two. and dived Into the W-jlumctte or Columbia rivers with the machine, ha will likely be ready to discuss baseball. It Is no use to talk ball playing with him at present. Kddle Mensor Is the despair ef Man ager Williams. The leader ef the Colts thinks this speedy little fellow one of the best players in either league, but last season Kddte contracted the bad habit of "counting his money" at criti cal periods In several games, and this retrospective attitude of the little fel low cost Manager Nick several games. With this matter bothering him yester day Manager Williams asked Fielder Jones how he would go about getting Mensor out of this reprehensible habit. "About the quickest cure 1 know of f-,r players who are thinking of other things besides the game' they are in is to pnt them on the bench without pay for a while and they quickly come to time." replied the president of the Northwestern League. Jones also paid Mensor a compliment fr hla speed and ability on the diamond, and said that he ought to be one of the beet minor league ball players In the country If he would keep his mind on the game. "A young fellow a fast as 1 Mensor. and who can field and throw, as well as run bases, as he can. ought to be a star Instead of a mediocre player," said Jones.

IN the season of 1904 Mike Mitchell attracted the attention of the Chi cago National League club when he was playing with the Springfield club of the Central League, when he led the organization In batting, and Frank Chance, of the Cubs, decided to try him out. In the Spring ef 1905 the Chicago Cuba trained on the Pacific Coast, and at that time they hooketj up with the Portland Beavers at the Bakersfield training camp and were defeated by McCredle's braves with Win French pitching. With the Chicago club waa Mike Mitchell and Walter MeCredie de cided he needed a chap resembling this av.kward appearing youngster to play first base for Portland. Negotiation were commenced with the Chicago club and Mitchell services were purchased outright by Portland. 6hortly after Joining the team In 1905 Mike broke his ankle sliding Into sec ond base, and had to retire from the game for several months. He did not play first base any more, but because of Ms batting ability he was switched to the outfield and more than made good. In 1906 be waa one of the lead ing batsmen of the league and his timely bingles helped Portland land the first pennant this city attained in the Pacific Coast League. , At the end of that season Mitchell was drafted by the Cincinnati club, which had already purchased Larry McLean and Bill Essick. and since join ing that club In 1907. Mitchell ha been on of the stars of the National League. ( GHEELY WILL HELP Multnomah Club Strengthened by New Boxer. ATHLETE'S RECORD IS GOOD Newcomer in 158-Pound Class and Is Former Halfback With Team of Washington State Spo kane Meet Arranged. Multnomah Cluba athletic colony re ceived a notable addition this week In the person of Ned Cheely, 158.-pound boxer, who has to bis credit a four round draw with Tommy Burns' pro tege. Jack Lester. Cheely. who Is a former Washington State College half back star and a graduate from the Pullman School, had his first workout with Instructor Tommy Tracey on Tues day at the club, and for a time the padded hassocks pummeled the air In great style, "Cheely will be a substantial boost to the boxing department, for we lacked a good middleweight mltt wielder," declared Instructor Tracey, "He expects to make Portland his home, later on launching out as a veterin arian, for that is his profession. Hia home was formerly In Spokane." Cheely la Mexico for Time. Cheely passed last year employed by the Mexican government, but returned to do post graduate work at Washing ton State College this Fall. He had a dispute with Graduate Manager Jones, however, and shifted over to the Montana State College. Halfback Lange, of the Montana State eleven, waa killed In the first game of the aeason with the School of Mines, and football was abolished for the year. A brother of Martin Pratt, Multnomah football manager, held down center for the Butte team. Multnomah's new middleweight Is something of a "white hope" wrecker himself, for he has clippings showing where he demolished the fantastic dreama of Jack Burch, Boxeman's pride, in one round a month ago, immedi ately accepting a ringside challenge from Jack Blumenthal. champion of the Yellowstone Park soldiers, with whom he boxed four rounds to a draw. The soldier outweighed him 15 pounds. Programme Nearly Completed. The 158-pound boxing class is not contained In the list of events for the Portland-Spokane smoker at Spokane on January 19, so Cheely will not be taken along. The programme as ar ranged by Cisco Bulllvant, Spokane di rector, is as follows: Wrestling Boileau (135), Spokane, vs. Trainor (135), Portland, Gesek (158). Spokane, vs. Davlscourt (195), Portland. Boxing Gannon (145), Spokane, vs. Germond (145), Spokane, Stack (115), Spokane, vs. Elllngston (115), Spokane. Orton (140), Spokane, vs. Dale (140), Spokane. McKevItt (125), Spokane, vs. Douglas (125), Spokane. McCoy (115), Spokane, vs. Bain (115), Spokane. Chrlstoferson (130), Spokane, vs. op ponent not named. . Reager (146), Spokane, vs. Portland man. , Spencer (125), Spokane, vs. Somer ville. If the wrestling events are put through as scheduled Spokane fans will see two former clubmates, Gesek and Davlscourt, pitted against each other. At the .'aoiflc Northwest cham pionships In Spokane last year Gesek defeated Davlscourt on points, winning both the middle and heavyweight titles, but Davlscourt, who has since switched to Portland, has Improved wonderfully In the 10 months. He believes he can win from the Spokane wonder. Tom Tracey has not announced his two boxing representatives for the Spokane meet, but Somervllle undoubt edly will go In the 125-pound class. Ed gar Frank, chairman of the boxing and wrestling committee of the club, announced yesterday that the date of the Portland-Seattle tournament sched uled for February 23 in the Portland gymnasium, would have to be post poned to some time early In March. The Multnomah home will hardly be ready for staging the interclub event on February 23. WHITE CROWS LED BOWLERS Derbies Drop Into Second riace In Big Four League. Won. Lost.

L. Jenkins says this Is the biggest amount ever put up by the as sociation. The highest prize Is for the five-man team event, $3000. Thia looks most alluring to Portland rollers and some are even now spending the easy money which they thlak is theirs. Several high records have been made recently, both In the singles and in the team contests and the local men have some reason to feel confident of getting in on the money. Besides this first prlre there will be 20 others which will go down as far as $30. The second Is $750 and the third $400, the fourth $250 and the fifth $100. For the two-man contests 30 prizes have been hung up. the first being $500, grading down to $300, $200, $150 and $100. respectively.

AMATEUR ATHLETICS T HE Portland Academy basketball I team has been strengthened by Bean and Burgard, both of this past season's football team.

EDUCATION IS AIMED AT live Teams Will Kepresent Port land, 6eattle, Tacoma, Spokane and San Francisco Sport Will Be Promoted. Beginning at Ashland, Or., Monday, January 15, the five teams of profes sional trap shooters who are to com pete in exhibition matches throughout the Northwest will engage In the open ing round of the contest for the American Sportsmen's Association tro phy. The tournament was originally an nounced to start tomorrow, but inabil ity of several of the crack scatter-gun artists to get away by that time caused the advancement of the date. It has also been decided to have the five teams represent the cities of Port rand, Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and San Francisco Instead of representing the arms and powder manufacturing com panies with whom they are employed, as was originally intended. Education la Aim. The purpose of this tournament Is to educate the shooters of the different localities visited in the art of trap shooting, and in this way eliminate the desire of the shot-gun experts for the killing of wild fowl and game, there by affording additional game protec tion throughout the states traversed by the experts. In - promoting trap-shooting, the American Sportsmen's Association, as well as the manufacturers of shotguns and powder, expect to create a desire on the part of the American hunters to participate more generally in this sport. Trap-shooting Is a great sport, though It Is not generally recognized as such in this locality, for, in the past, those acquainted with the art of handling a shotgun have preferred to use their talent In the pursuit of feathered game to that of shooting at the traps. This situation has been due, It is said, to their unfamillarity with trap-shooting, and In holding this competitive shoot, at which local gunners may also com pete. It is hoped to stimulate a greater Interest in the sport. Teams Are Reorganised. ' The teams have also been reorgan ized slightly, and the five cities named will be represented by the following expert marksmen: Portland, P. J. Holo han and Vf. A.
