BT ROSOOE rAWCETT. rortland will be up on the roof In two baseball leagues next Fall If the Jan uary forecast or two aoia n r erala. Walter McCr1I and Nick Wil liams, work out. Manager ilcCredle. who has landed his Coast Beavers In first place thrica In the last six years, generally displays an armor plate front when quizzed for prognostications, but Mac thawed sufficiently yesterday to declare that the Heavers would be first at the finish again next October. Portland. Oakland and Vernon will be the Brst dlvl.Moners In the estimation of Manager McCredie. Of the remaining trto schedoled for the second division, !fcin Francisco. Sacramento and Los An reles. the Connie Mack of the West be lieves that Los An (teles will furnish the real surprise of the race and will not again wind up In the abysmal recesses ot the Coast League cellar. Manager Williams forecast on the Northwestern race reads like this: Van couver. Portland and Seattle In the first ranks, with Spokane. Victoria and Ta coma trailing; alone; In the order named. Sick, declares that Vancouver, practi cally Intact with the 1S11 pennant nop ping- squad, will bej the team to beat. He believes the Portland Colts are much stronger than' one year ago but predicts a decided slump for Spo kane, with Nordyke absent at the first sack and Xetxel'a hitting; a minus quantity. These Winter guesses are very un certain quantities." e. lalned Manager MeCredte. "and for that reason I gen erally steer shy of them. So many things can happen between now and the first game and no one can foresee how the new men will turn out. We are to have another close race, though." sdded Mac "Sacramento and San Fran Cisco don't loom up exceptionally strong, but. as I say. some of the new tarn may surprise us all. "Los Angeles looks to have a very good team and I am confident that Dillon's crew will be up In third or fourth place at least not tn sixth again. The Angela have a good burling staff in Toser. Chech. Nagle and others. Hrltrauller. Daly and Cole In the out field appear highly promising; Metzger at third Is a star and with Pelmas at short. rage at second ana ivan ttowara and Dillon at first there seems to be little doubt but that the Angels are bound for a climb. Last year Toxer. Moore. Dillon and Howard were out much of the time." lhn XV I f .r waa aHAVfl a ? ! n, t n quntlng Harry Wolverton predicting that Vernon could not be counted on for much In 1912 he smiled grimly, perhaps recalling the Vrrnon-Portland series In the South last Fall, which de rided the pennant race. Mae figures Vernon up in the race again If for no other reason than the slugging strength. "Wolverton Is quoted as favoring the ials to win In 11I." continued Man ager McCredie. "Well, maybe they will, but not If Danny Long sloughs off as many good ballplayers to other teams as he did last year. I know very little of San Francisco's new material, although the Californium think they are well fortified In all departments. "Red" Knnn. the peppery Portland t-arkstop, will not be a holdout, nor will the Fresno youngster take ad vantage of the outlaw reinstatement technicality and report to the Chicago White Sox In June. Walter McCredie rrcclved a letter from Kuhn yesterday. I'ostmarked Leemore. Cal.. and he wrote 'expectantly of the coming season. "Kuha said In his letter that he would be In July i form at the start cf the season." remarked Mac "An other year In the Coast League should fit this boy thoroughly for the big show, but It would be decidedly foolish 'for him to watt until June for his re instatement In the hopes of going to t! box, for he needs the work and his wages with Chicago from June 1 on would not amount to as much as a full season with Portland." e Otto Moore. Portland backstop, 1 the latest "holdout." Otto Is attending the Oregon Agricultural College, but was In Portland yesterday for a talk with President W. W. McCredie. of the Northwesters League club. He was unsuccessful In obtaining the Interview as the Vancouver Jurist was out In specting work at the ball park, but he told several friends that he would. Cot sign up at the contract figures. Artie Krueger of the Coast squad has not yet had Ma talk with President McCredie and probably Is awaiting de Trlopments In his proposed sale to a Southern league club. LI verm ore may be chosen by the Oak land club for Spring training but the matter will likely not be settled until K id Sharp reaches the Coast about February 1 Hip Hocan is another manager who believes In training away from home despite the many conveniences of the home lot. Hogan has been figuring on trekking his Yernonltes to the sand dunes of Arizona. "If you train at home the fans com O'lt to the ground and get an Im pression of the new men before they Tund Into form." declared Hogan a Jew day ago. "Take Patterson, for Instance. Pat was In poor condition at t'.e start last Spring and the fans be ll en panning him even before the start of the year and the big fellow had a hird row to boo before he gained popular favor. A fellow with less nenrt might have been discouraged and a good ballplayer would have been t'llned." ITT LEAGUE OPEXS TOXIGIIT - I'uor Strong; Basketball Team to Race for Honor.

SOCCER GAME IS DRAW GRAMMAR SCHOOL CHAMPIOX. SHIP IS NOT DECIDED. Vernon and Atnsworth Each Make One Goal Match Will Be Prayed Over Again. The soccer challenge cup waa not destined to be presented to the winning grammar school team yesterday, after all, for the game ended In a draw of one goal each, after Vernon had neia the lead for the greater part of the game with Alnsworth.- Flve hundred enthusiastic lads were present when the Vernon boys kicked off down the slope, and they Immedi ately began to press. In fact, the game waa hardlT rive minutes Old peiuro Ttrant had netted the ball with a beau tiful effort from well out on the left wing. Pawley was called on more than once to handle hot shots Just about this period of the game, but dealt with them so successfully that no further score was registered up to half time. The second half was much more even In character, with the pace slackening considerably, owing to the heavy con dltlon of the field. witn only live minutes to go, Thorne got away for Atnsworth. but wsa tackled by the full back, whose kick was charged down by Ito. the wily Japanese, who dashed for the goalkeeper and charged him through the goal before he had time to clear the ball. Kach side made desperate efforts to take the lead, but time was too short and the defensive work too sound for any further scoring.

All will be In readiness when the players return from the Spring pil grimage. President Comlskey ex pressed the opinion last night that the Installation of these Innovations will give his team an advantage ever any other team In the big leagues. Brief Sporting- Xotea. A section of the framework of the new grandstand being erected for the Portland baseball club, blew down dur ing the high wind ot Wednesday night, but the contractors had repaired the damage by yesterday noon. President Fielder Jones, of the Northwestern League, says that no player will be allowed to compete with any team unless he has signed a con tract. In bygone years the executives have been lax on this score. Pete Gearhardt, captain of th Olym pic Club track and field team, of San Francisco, arrived In Portland last night for a conference with T. Morris Dunn, the Portland member of th Western committee which will choose the men for the Swedish Olympiad. Gearhardt may attempt to lure Sam Bellah back to California, as the pole vaulter seems to be wavering. e e e The excellency of the new drainage system being Installed at the new Port land ball park has been effectively demonstrated during the past few days, for despite the rains the diamond is comparatively dry. although only half the drains are In use. The trenches will undermine nearly every section of the field, the tiling, a foot below the sur face, being overlaid with gravel and and to glv greater surface area.

Crlger pitched phenomenal ball at times, but, like most southpaws, was Inclined to be erratic. Seattle Is negotiating with Berry for Dulln, and as the local club Is well stocked with second and third Backers, It Is possible that the Green Bay boy will be permitted to go there.

Comparison of Records With Those Made In Foreign Countries Puts TTnlted States Ahead. The victories of American athletes In past Olympian games have been so consistent that every other competing country is making special efforts to break the chain of triumphs at the coming games at Stockholm next July. It is expected that entries for th track and field events will be re ceived from nearly two-score nations and subsidiary territories. It Is evident, therefore, that the American teams for the 1912 Olympic meet will have to be bigger and bet ter than ever before in order to main tain the supremacy achieved in pre ceding games. Close followers of ath letics In this country believe that the meet will be more closely contested than ever before and that new Olympic records will be established In a number of events. A comparison of the records made In the various National championships of the leading countries supporting such sport In 1911 affords Interesting study. Taking the 100 yards as the opening event. It will be found In the title meets of America, England. Ireland, Scotland, Canada and Australia, three competi tors ran the distance In 10 seconds. Americans won the United States and Canada events. Burton won the Mel bourne 100 In even time. No foreign sprinter equallod Jack Nelson's time of 21 4-5 seconds for the 220-yard dash at Pittsburg. The same Is true of Llnberg, of Chicago, who ran the 440 yard dash in 49 seconds. In the middle-distance runs Melvln Shcppard's time of one minute, 54 1-5 seconds for 880 yards Is better than that shown by any winner of the other country meets mentioned. Klviat ran the mile at Pittsburg In four minutes, 19 S-5 seconds. The five-mile run was not duplicated abroad. In the hurdles A. B. Shaw's record of 15 3-5 seconds Is surpassed by that of G. Keddell, In the New Zealand meet, three tenths of a second. The 220-yard hurdle event was not run in the for eign title game. .The pole vault and high Jump records made In the America meet were not equaled abroad. In the broad Jump, however. Kerwan, In the English championship, did about five Inches better than Piatt Adams at Pittsburg. A comparison of the various weight records shows that Americans did far better than athletes abroad. The margin of advantage Is comparatively safe In all the contests. All these performances were made about a year ago. but when the American team for Stockholm is selected It Is certain that It will contain athletes who can maintain the American athletlo stand ards with reasonable consistency. TWO WORLD'S RECORDS MADE Xevr Marks Scored for 18-Pound Sltot-Put and 5000-Meter Run. NEW YORK. Jan. 25. Two world's records went by the board at the annual athletic carnival games of the Irish American Athletic Club, held In Madison-Square Garden tonight.

In the 6000-meter run George Bonhag clipped 17 2-5 seconds from the record made last Summer by Louis Scott, of Celtlo Park.
