BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Another six-foot pitcher Jumped Into the headlines as a prospective 191S Portland Coast Leaguer yesterday. The embryonic Beaver is the Veteran To ledo slabster. HI West, tried out by the Cleveland Americans In 1(11, and. upon failure to make good, shunted to Nashville In the Southern League, where he twirled great ball last year. "Yes. West Is one of the men I'm after." admitted Manager McCredle yesterday, when shown a Cleveland dis patch forecasting the purchase. "He- was the best pitcher In the Southern League last year, and has asked the Nap management to send him to me, as he desires to come to the Coast. West Is 27 years old, in disposition is some thing like Charley Chech, only younger, and would prove a corker In this league." TVeat Twlee Falls to Qualify. West has been on Cleveland's pay roll ever since 1905, when Bill Armour, then manager of the Naps, dug him up. Ho failed to stick with the Naps, be ing Inexperienced, and was sold to To ledo, where he pitched good ball for three years. While his record wasnot phenomenal. It was such that the Naps gave him another trial, but again he failed to pass major league muster, and was redelivered to the. Mud Hens In 1911. Last Spring the Naps saw a chance to pick up a promising youngster from Nashville. Pitcher Walker, and West was sent there on a trade with an op tion attached. He won seven games and lost three for Nashville, ranking fourth in the league. Walker, how ever, mixed up in a shooting scrape at Nashville this Winter, and only last week was sent to the penitentiary for ten years. McCredie believes this knocked out the trade, for Cleveland has announced West's recall from the South. Record la Show. His record for the last four years follows: W. U Pet. Nashville. 1912 1 3 -70 Toledo, JStl 5 Toledo. 110 ll Jf -il Toledo, 1908 IS 14 .303 West is a right-hander, standing six feet in his stockings. His chief stock Is a fast ball and a sharp breaking curve. Definite announcement of the deal Is dally expected from Cleveland. If McCredle gets Eugene Krapp and West from the Naps, his flinging staff will consist of Higgtnbotham, Hager man. Gregg, Glrot, Hynes. Krapp and West, and one other to be purchased either from Cleveland or some other major league club. He still holds con tracts from Harry Suter and Speck Harkness, but says he will dispose of both before March. Walter McCredle Is delighted at the transfer of the Vernon baseball fran chise to Venice .or Pasadena. Meaaor la Back. We have been fighting that hog pen for two years." said he. 'The final blotting out was effected at the Sac ramento annual session. Venice, I be lieve, will get the team. The beach re sort Is only 30 minutes from Los An geles by electric line. The plan is to play Just one game a week Sunday morning at Venice, at least for this season. More games may be added if the attendance warrants by 1914." Eddie Mensor, Pirate outfielder, re turned from a hurried trip to San Francisco yesterday. Eddie seems to have a Jinx on his trail. Near Siskiyou a freight train shot out from a siding and telescoped the dlnlng-car and two sleepers on the moving passenger train. The Pirate speed merchant sat In the back end of the car Just in front of the diner, and the telescoping business missed him by a margin of ten feet, tearing off the vestibule of the car In which he was riding. Eddie Haa Close Calls. It would pay the Pirates to put an Oregon boot on the former Portland star's anklet. Eddie returned from a hunting trip in the Rogue River coun try, recently, with news of a near handshake with death in the Rogue rapids. Buddy Ryan accompanied him In that thrilling escapade. Eddie's mother has been seriously 111 with pneumonia, but Is now on the road to recovery. other "Northwestern league" has been organized in the East, and a per mit for its formation has been issued 'by J. H. Farrell, of the ..atlonal asso ciation. Inasmuch as the new North western circuit boasts of a Portland franchise some pretty mlxups can be looked forward to. The aew league will be Class C with a. 11400 salary limit. Its territory In cludes the cities of Bangor. Me.; Port land. Me.; Manchester and Nashua, N. H.; Pawtucket, R. I., and Taunton, Mass. OCTLAW BALL RCMOR KILLED Walter Says He Will Xot Break From Organized Game. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 15. (Special.) E. N. Waiter has nailed the rumor that an outlaw league will be started on the Pacific Coast. The story started through the fact that Walter has a lease on the Recreation Park for 20 years, and that would give him a foot hold In San Francisco. Walter, how ever, came out strong for organized baseball, and said under no circum stances would he connect himself with an outlaw project. President Baum, Ed Maler, of Vernon, and J. Cal Ewing are hard at work whipping affairs into shape for the or ganisation of the Class D league In California. The Pacific Coast League directors refused to take up the matter as a league venture, but the San Fran cisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and Vernon clubs are going through with launch ing the farm for young players. A meeting willbe held In San Francisco shortly for the purpose of making up the circuit and settling other details. J. Cal Ewing paid Judge W. W. Mc Credle a high compliment during the Walter controversy at Sacramento. The Portland magnate stood behind Ewing loyally, which prompted Cal to say: "I have had my fights and disagree ments with Judge McCredle, but I ad mire him because he can be depended upon In the pinch. In the dark days subsequent to the fire of 1906" In San Francisco, when it looked as if base ball would go on the rocks, the Judge stood with us through thick and thin, and I will never forget how gamely and truly he faced the situation with us." LYNCH BEES' LEADER McGinnity Trades Old Tiger Manager for, Keller. MIKE PLANS STRONG TEAM "Iron Man" Makes Deal Pleasing to AH Concerned Former Ben . gal Says He Has Been at Head of Tacoma Club Too Long. TACOMA. Wash.. Dec. 15. (Special.) Michael Joseph Lynch, former Bengal leader, will be . the manager of the Victoria Bees la 1913. This announce ment was made by President McGinnity tonight, and confirmed by Lynch. The deal was cinched when McGinnity ac cepted the offer of President Watallett, of the Bees, to trade Second Baseman Keller for Lynch. This deal being com pleted. Lynch admitted that he had nesrot ated with Watallett ana wouia accept the terms of the Victoria club, to manage the Island team In 1913. "I may not use Keller at secono base," McGinnity said, "but If I do not, I will use him as the basis of a trade for another man upon whom I have my eyes. There will be a lot of trading at the meeting of the directors or me Northwestern League here next Satur day and I may do my share of It." ' I have not oompleted my plans ior the future," said Lynch tonight, "only as lias been announced by President McGinnity. I do not know what 'will be done with the personnel of the Vic toria club until I have had a confer ence with President Watallett and had an opportunity to go over the situa tion with him. "The team is badly In need of addi tional strength, but considerable ma terial has been collected during the Winter and I will have to go over it before I know Just what will be doing1. I am going to give the Victoria club the best there is In me. I have been with the Tacoma club too long and realllze that my days of usefulness here are numbered. I am happy that McGinnity has seen his way clear to dispose of me both to advantage to himself and me. I nope mat js-ener will make him a good man and if he does not wish to keep him that he will be able to dispose of him for another man who is more to his liking." COFFROTH GETS HOLIDAY BOUT Promoter Signs Burns and Murphy for Xew Tear Fight. . SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15. (Special.) When it comes to promoting fights, Jimmy Coffroth has it over the other San Francisco men two to one. Al though Matchmaker Moffitt, of the Oakland Wheelmen Club, started sev eral days before he did to make a Frankle Burns-Joe Rivers match for New Year's day. Coffroth came along and secured Burns to go against "Har lem Tommy" Murphy on the afternoon of New Year's day at Daly City. This leaves the Oakland promoter without an opponent for Joe Rivers, and he will likely have to call off his show. Another match made by Cotrrotn was a heavyweight go between Gunboat Smith and Frankie Moran. The Gun boat has won 10 straight bouts in- a row since going to New York, and is the sensation there. Frank Moran is considered the best heavyweight who has shown in San Francisco for years. nd if he shows form against Smith. Coffroth intends to bill him as the champion of the world, ( The clean-cut victory of Luther Mc carty over Jim Flynn gives the Mc- Carty-Palzer contest on New Year a day In Los Angeles a right to be carded as a championship affair.

Keck defeating the Allen five, 18 to 7, while the team cap tained by Pugh defeated Captain Fischer's five. 25 to 20. . The first game was the better of the two. Keck, at center, was the big luminary, but Roberts and McKay, of the same team, also deserve credit for the way the game went. They played the guards and held Lewis and West, the opposing forwards, to no baskets, and these two are. considered among the best forwards Id the league. Fischer came on the floor two men short and Pugh graciously let his op ponent have two of his best men, but took the game anyway after a "see saw" contest. There will be two good games Tues day night.- The Masters and .Allen teams will play a schedule game, while Welch's and Ed Morris aggregations will play a postponed game. Brooklyn Wins Contest.

Jack Gllllgan, erstwhile Portland fllnger traded to Sacramento for Chris Mahoney, was assessed by President Baum several times last season for his attitude toward the umpires. Gllllgan met Baum on the street in San Fran cisco the other day. "I have signed up ten umpires for next year' said Baum. "Six are enough to take your money," retorted Gllllgan. Jack has departed for Santa Maria to lead the local club this Winter. He married a Santa Maria millionaire's daughter last Spring shortly after the Beaver training trip. Those who have seen Jess Wlllard, the Kansas giant. In action, speak well of the youthful aspirant for heavy weight honors. He stands six feet six Inches tall, weighs 235 pounds and showed considerable skill In his match against Luther McCarty last August in New York. Many said he had a shade the best of the ten rounds.

FULL PROTECTION DESIRED Proposal Is to Divide State Into Two Districts, Each of Similar Cli matic Condition, and to Remedy Existing Abuses. Bills designed to give Oregon a uni form system of game laws will be sub mitted to the Oregon" Legislature next month by the Fish and Game Commis sion. State Game Warden Finley and the members of the . commission are framing the proposed legislation, which has for its purpose making the game lavs as nearly uniform In their pro visions and application as possible, tak ing into consideration the different conditions in the eastern and western parts of the state. In the first place, it is proposed to divide the state into two game dis tricts. Those counties west of the Cas cade Mountains will constitute the first district and those east of the moun tains will form the second, district. This will be recommended as the only satisfactory basis for working out the plans of the commission as to leg islation. This division is in view" of the fact that weather conditions in the two dis tricts differ widely as between each other, although those conditions In each district are virtually alike all over the district. For instance, birds that breed west of the Cascades in May and June do not bred in that section east of the Cascades until probably a month later. For the same reason, the natural seasons for shooting ducks and other game birds and for fishing differ as between the two proposed districts. Where it is practicable, laws will be asked that shall apply alike to bo'th districts, covering every county in the state. Where this is not feasible laws will be asked for each district sepa rately. The commission expects to pro pose the same deer law for both dis tricts, but the limit will be reduced from five to two or three for the sea son. The season probably will consist of the months of September and Oc tober. Under the present law the sea son In pome of the Eastern Oregon counties opens August 1, while in other counties in the same section of the state, where general conditions are the same, the season does not open until September 15, or six weeks later. "The commission is desirous of se curing at the hands of the Legislature, if possible, a uniform system of game laws for the state," said Mr. Finley yesterday. "We have found since be ginning our work that sportsmen dif fer widely as to their views on legis lation. For that reason we realize it will be difficult for us to secure neces sary legislation. But the time has come when sportsmen must give and take. That course is absolutely essen tial for game protection and propaga tion and any kind of warden service. We cannot give the sportsmen all they ask. If we did it would be necessary to provide only for open seasons and remove all limits. "We shall seek the co-operation of the sportsman and the dealer in game in our efforts to secure legislation that will prove mutually beneficial to all and at -the same time give our game some protection and provide for fur ther propagation. We will strive to secure uniformity of legislation aa a substitute for the present system un der which nearly every county has its own set of game laws." CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE DRAW Oregon City' and St. James Teams Play No-Score Game. . The Oregon City and St. James foot ball teams battled yesterday on Co lumbus Club field for what they de clared to be the amateur championship of Southern Washington and Northern Oregon. They fought each other to a standstill and the game ended with no score. The Oregon City eleven comes from the city of that name and the St. James aggregation represents the athletic club of Vancouver, Wash. Strelblg. the brilliant right end of the Pioneer City team, recovered a St. James fumble on his own 30-yard line and made a dash for the Vancouver goal. He cleared himself and crossed the goal, only to be called back be cause one of his team-mates had held. Oregon City was the aggressor the greater part of the game and led the Vancouver team a merry" chase, but was nevertheless unable to make any thing count. Two place-kicks were tried, one In the first quarter and an other in the last quarter, but both fell wide 'of their mark. Strelblg, Donaldson and Irwin played star games for the Oregon City eleven. Strelblg and Donaldson would make an independent all-star team if there were any such picked. They play right and left end respectively. For the Vancouver team Thompson, Woods and Farreil starred. Woods was extremely effective as a. ground gainer. The lineup: Oreron City. - Position. St. James. Dor.ala.on...y.....L E R H Duff L T R Richardson Grout...-. L G R .

F B Bishop With Hauser, Borleske, Bender and Grimm In Lineup McDonald Has Aggregation Calculated to Cause Trouble. That the Multnomah Club football squad will have to show tremendous Improvement within the next week, or be beaten by the Seattle All-Stars, is the declaration of James Convfll, left tackle on the "Winged M" eleven, who returned yesterday trom Seattle, where he witnessed the Washington Athletic Club put it over the husky Bremerton sailors, Saturday, 26 to 0. ttmn HmmBr the bis: Carlisle In dian, played one of the most remark able games I have ever seen, luuy im na. .on hotter than asralnst us in the Oregon 'Aggie game," said Convlll.

This will be true particularly when Johnny Bender, the old Nebraska nni.l.p 1nlna them against us in the game next Saturday at Seattle and New Year's day here. Grimm's Charges Fierce. ' The Portland 195-pounder says that "Polly" Grimm, ex-University of Wash ington star tackle, was a bear on car rying the ball. The Navy men were powerless to stop the terrific rushes of the big 220-pound National amateur wrestling champion. "I was surprised by the form shown by McDonald's aggregation," continued the Multnomah scout. "You may not believe it, but those fellows have it on us in condition. Only once in the game did they take out time, and that was to change Hauser's headgear. I think we could have beaten them at the time of our Thanksgiving game against Ore gon, but next Saturday is a dif ferent proposition. Rinehart's injury, O'Rourke's incapacitation and Rupert's scalp wound seriously will affect our chances." The game was played in Dugdale s ball park on a field only 90 yards in length, and the grandstand but three yards beyond one extremity. Regulars Are Absent. The Multnomah Club squad held its regular Sunday morning practice ses sion yesterday on Multnomah Field. ThA flhaniA nf several reeulars. notice ably Calllcrate, Keck, Clarke, Hickson and Rinehart, . proved somewnat ais couraging to Captain Hurlburt, who Is doing his best to awake the squad to the realization that defeat is staring Multnomah in the face. Last year Multnomah won 9-0 and 2-0, but the northerners had no Emil Hauser or Johnny Bender then, and went into the games with absolutely no preliminary skirmishes. Quarterback Rinehan was out In citi zen's clothing and watched the prac tice. He reported his gouged eye as tVia 'mnnd and boMH tO BTOt into uniform Saturday. Latourette appar ently does not care to turn out, so Hurlburt filled in at the signal Job yesterday. "The Seattle men will outweigh us many pounds," commented Captain Hurlburt after the workout. "They have an even better assortment of former stars than Multnomah, and are In prime shape. Hauser has been play ing at the Oregon Agricultural College: Borleske has been out in suit every night coaching Lincoln High; Bliss is ,. WashfnirtnTi tackle: Eaklns has been assistant coach at Washington; Bender has been coacning ai wbbihhb ton State, and is in good shape, and Polly" Grimm, with his wrestling stunts, is undoubtedly in better condi tion than when he played football two or three years ago. Indian' Plays Great Game. "The boys will have to buckle down the remaining: few nights or we will be defeated sure." The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in writing of Saturday's Seattle-Navy game, says of Hauser: "Considering the fact that the Navy yard team had had three months' more practice than had the local eleven, the showing of Tom McDonald's team was nmnaAa-wtA rm9rVflMn.

Although there were no ducks on the lake la front of the grounds of the Portland Gun Club at Kenton, the dozen members who shot there yester day had all the unexpected thrills and uncertain shots of real hunting by breaking the clay "birds" shot from the trap. Each man shot at 100 bluerocks and only 25 were smashed from the usual position, 16 yards, in back of the trap. The rest were broken from various places and at various angles, and some of the participants declared that It was just as good as real hunting and not half the bother. The first batch of 26 "birds' were "killed" from a point ten yards, in front of the trap and 20 yards to the left. Twenty-five more were broken, ten in front of and 20 to the right of the place where the targets are emitted. Another 25 were smashed, or at tempts made at smashing them, with the trap ten yards directly back of the gunner.
