Announcements csme thick and fast at baseball headquarters yesterday. Judge McCredie threw a bombshell Into tbt ramp of Portland ball fans when he mad the announcement that Paddy Siglln would nuaft the Portland club In the Northwestern League, provided Taddy was not drafted by Unci Sam's league. I'addy Is one cf the boys who carries a blue registration card In his vet pocket and la subject to calL The only obstacle outside of his being rrrrA that would causa a hitch in Stctln's appointment Is the question of salary. faddy at present la located In his home town. Aurella. I. He cams to It.rtUnd alon with Jack Farmer last season from the Pittsburg club in in trade for "Chuck- Ward. Both Slglln and Farmer are escellent ballplayers. PmT la Great Infielder. Sirlln. who Is a second baseman, held down the third sack because Bill Rodg tr. who captained the team, was fee r.! nckfr. Paddy, however. Is ons of the greatest second basemen In the country and the only thing which has kept him out of the big show has been his inability to connect orten enough with the ball. If Stglin could rertater annually a batting average of .ITS in the big bruoh h would bs a "wis." Judge McCredie Issued a statement yesterday along with his announce ment of Slglin's appointment as man ner, ss follows: . -Paddy Slglln will bs offered the management of . ths Beavers. Colts. Mudhena, Rosebuds. Pippins or what ever they may be called. Siglla Is an educated lad: In fact, he was on of the brightest boys on the club In 1S17. He is every Inch a gentleman, quick witted, knows the game as well as anyone of the Beavers, is very popular with the fans, and will have the good will of everybody. . Fast Clab Is Asaared- "He can play second base with tny n In the world. He hss grit and de termination and will never give up until the battl la over. With Paddy as leader Portland will have on of the best and liveliest clubs we ever have bad. Every on of them, from batboy up. will be in the limelight for the ma jors. There will not be a has-been or a dead on on the team. Therefore, while we regret very much to lose our good boys who are going to Sacra mento, the fans may rest easy. Port land will continue to b the greatest minor league city In th world, as our boys In the majors In the future will bear witness." That Judg McCredle's selection of Sigltn will meet with the approval of Portland fandom goes without aaylng. . . ,.i . i .in "' "U 1 , ; cCV. j X -, ' i v. . ' i r- ';.: .- '-... .V.

Be As forecast In yesterday's Oregonlan, Rl Rodgers will b appointed man ager of tbe Sacramento baseball club and In consideration of $1000 the Sena tors will receive eight players, namely. Fisher. Borton. Griggs. Plnelll. Will. Brnton. Gardner and Rodger. Judge M.-Credte will keep Cliff Lee. th prom ising young catcher, and Lefty James, piu-ber. The Judge refused to part wuu br. svr.n-vs, , . ...... on of the greatest prospects the Port land club has had for some time. . In selling this batch or players to Sacramento for $3000 Judge McCredl has vltrually handed the Sacramento mncul about $r00. He originally asked $10,000 for 13 Portland players at th special meeting of the Pacific Coast League. At that session Charlie Graham told Judg McCredl that the price was right and that the Sacra mento people were sure to reimburse tbe Portland magnate at that figure. That was the last McCredie heard from Graham until a few weeks ago when Graham sect a letter ottering i0l.) for th players and wasting to put th money In escrow. Judge Mc Credie' return telegram to Sacra mento managed to get by th censor and nothing more was heard of the affair until Bill Rodger received a tel'grara asking him to submit terms. McCredie's disposal of the eight play ers at less than $eo each is Ilk pick ing up diamonds In th street for Sac ramento. Borton is valued at $1500. I-nnr Wllte cost the McCredie a cool 11 !.. so with th other players thrown in rharli Graham and his outfit ar mighty lucky to have th opportunity to deal with a magnat of McCredie's caliber. Salt Laks paid $15,000 for th Sacra mento franchise and players, but when Judge. McCredl asked IlO.OOtr for hi Dlayers Sacramento suddenly became attacked with frigid feet. Jack Fanner Is the only Beaver play cr out in the cold, but h will soon be taken rare of. If Detroit fails to pur chase tbe speedy Portland outfielder Farmer will cavort In th Salt Lak outergarden next season. This much was made known by Judge McCredie yesterday. "Unless w hear something definite from Detroit within the next few weeks Farmer will go to the Salt Lake club." said McCredie. "The Bees lost Tobln. who goes to St. Louis, so they are In need of an outfielder of th caliber of Fsrmer. I am not prepared to say what kind of a deal will ba made for Jack, but If we don't get the kale we will rerelv some players for our Portland Northwestern League club.

Young Al Balrd. the New York Giants' promising Infielder, who has Just enlisted In the naval reserve serv ice, was the player- whom Manager McCraw bad In view to develep into a regular member of his team during the coming season. He considered the youthful Southerner one of tba most promising rookies bo ever had under his management. McGraw. in fact, considered Balrd as likely to become as sensational a play er as Arthur Shafer, who was the find" of the season when ha played at third base for the Giants. But tne young Callfornlan was too tempera mental or had too much money at his disposal and quit the Giants and base ball during one of his spasms of home sickness. Freauent attempts have been made to get Shafer to return to the Giants, but he has refused. Fred Snodgrass, hia personal friend, who recommended Shafer to the New York club, used his influence with his old pal ad tried to Induce him to become a Giant again, but without success. Finally. MoGraw, despairing of getting his young phe nom back, completed tbe deal whereby be was ensbled to get Heinle Zimmer man as his permanent third baseman. Balrd first was brought to tbe at tention of the Giants' mansger when tbe team played an exhibition game In Raton Rouge. La, with the Louisiana Stat University nKne. Balrd was cap tain of his team and played shortstop. The New Yorkers, although they had their regular line-up. were forced to play at their best all through th con test and then were fortunate to win out by a close and low score. Mathew- son pitched part of the gam and was obliged to us all of his science to keep in the lead. The star player of the gam was Balrd. Ha excelled In batting, fielding, run-making and base-stealing. His throwing was swift and accurate, and he was graceful and easy In fielding his position. He was such a natural ballplayer that his work appealed to McGraw at once and be was asked by tba manager If b would Ilk to play with th Giants next season. He as sented, but said be would have to con sult with his parents. Balrd's father I a wealthy and prominent business men of Shreveport. and he absolutely refused to allow his son to play pro fessional baseball. The year following his graduation from college, however, Bard Induced his parents to allow him to train with the Glapts at Marlln. Tex. Th young Southerner reported to MoGraw at the Texas training camp last Spring and fully lived up to expectations. He was asked to sign a contract, but again parental objections prevented, but the boy was allowed to travel with the Giants at his own expense and he sent home such glowing reports of his health and experience he was getting that his parents, after the Giants had won the National League pennant, gave their permission to him to. sign a 1918 contract. As there Is still soma doubt of Her sog remaining with the Giants next season. It follows that Balrd's loss is considered mora unfortunate than if the second-base position were not an uncertain proposition. Balrd was the most likely and logical candidate to step Into Hersog'a shoes and could have filled them If natnrai ability counts for anything.

ARLETA TEAM IS READY GILBERT STATION HOOPERS TO BE MET TOMORROW NIGHT. Coach Bases. Roaad Quintet Rapidly Iat Hhapg JamJor Truii Will Play Preliminary Game. The Arleta basketball team will play tbe Gilbert Station hoopers tomorrow night on the Arleta floor. The Arleta boys mad a bad start this season, owing principally -to lack of practice, but expect to start climbing soon. Coach Heinle Busch has taken the quintet in hand and is giving It stiff practice every night. Manager Brooks' Arleta Juniors will play a preliminary game with the Gilbert Station Juniors on the same night. Although the Arleta boys will be outweighed, they may ba depended upon to put up a stiff battle, as Brooks, with the asalrtanc of Art Mackenzie, former Franklin and Multnomah star, have been giving the Juniors a good week's practice. The Juniors have won two games so far this season and lost two The St. Frantfls Llv Wires will play Henry Pander's Cardinals tonight on the Christian Brothers' Business Col-' lege floor. The Arleta Juniors are scheduled to battle the K. H. A. C Tigers on Fri day night. -The game will be played on the Arleta floor. Frankie Farren. the crack San Fran Cisco boxer and leading: claimant for the lightweight championship of the Pacific Coast, worked out for the first time before the Portland fistic fans at the Columbia Boxing Club yesterday afternoon with Billy Mascott and Muff Bronson. The boxing devotees who were lucky enough to be on hand to see the workout pronounced Farren one of the best boys they hare seen in action around these parts in some time and that Alex Trambitas will have his hands full with the fighting Caltfornian. r arren -is a classy boxer ana fans can get an idea of how good he is when they glance over his record and see where he outboxed and defeated Char ley Moy and other boys in his class when he was a bantamweight. Farren and Trambitas w,ill form the main event of the card to be staged by the Golden West Athletic Club at the Eleventh-Street Playhouse Friday night. Farren Ready for Battle. Frankie went two spirited rounds apiece with Mascott and Bronson and is in good shape already for his six round battle with Trambitas.- This will be Farren's first bout of more than four three-minute rounds, but his man ager, Dolph Thomas, sayb that Farren is not even thinking about the six and would Just as soon go 10 rounds. Trambitas also is training hard and realizes that he will be up against the toughest proposition that he has stacked up with In his career. A vic tory over Farren virtually will make him the lightweight champion of the Coast, and if he does beat the San Franciscan It will mean that there are very few boys on the Coast that have a chance to defeat him at his weight. There is a good deal of speculation among the fans as to who the winner will be in the Mascott-Edwards match. The majority of the close followers of the game are Inclined to favor Mascott to win the decision because Of his ex perience and superior hitting power. Another way in which Billy has It over nearly all of his opponents, and espe cially the bantamweights, is his long reach. Mascott's arms are as long as those of the average lightweight and longer than those of a lot of 133 pounders. Edwarda Is Clever Boxer. Edwards Is a clever boy, one cannot get away from that, perhaps the clev erest boxer since the event of Charley Moy's appearance here, and Danny h:-B made a big hit here by his clean-c.it victories over Abe Gordon and George Brandon. The boys are weighing in at 116 pounds', so there will not be much weight difference. If Edwards can reach Mascott and at the same time stay away from Billy's wicked left hook and right crusher be may have a chance to win from the Portland battler. Pete Mitchie is getting ready for the battle of his life with "Young" Sam Langford, and if the crowd does not see a real mill when Pete and Sam tangle they never will see one. To watch either boy train you would think that they were working for a world's championship contest instead of a six round bout here Friday night. Lang fcrd is out to make good here in his first bout' and Mitchie is out to make the main event class again. Romeo Hagen, not the Romeo that made love to Juliet, T ut the handsome Seattle middleweight, is another "guy1 that will be in the ring to make the going torrid for his opponent. Romeo is scheduled to go six rounds with Pat Bradle-, a gentleman of color, who only recently arrived from St, Paul. Among his various accomplishments Bradley claims to have r -en a sparring partner of Mike Gibbons for a year. Hagen Seeks Boat With Sonuners. Hagen has been trying to get a match with Al Soramera for some time and has found out the only way to get match is to beat a few of tbe other middlewelghts that are after AL Hagen has not boxed in a Portland ring for over a year. During that time he has been touring tbe East, and while there he claims to have been either defeated or knocked out by every middleweight and ligbt-heavy- welght of prominence in the country. Among the boys he fought for several rounds are: Harry Greb, Jack Dillon, Joe Herrick, Jack McCarron, Soldier Bartfield. Billy Weeks and "Young" Joe Gans, the battling Brooklyn mid dleweight. Romeo still thinks that he has enough "pep" left to beat all of the Bradleys. Reynolds and Sonuners in the world. Manager Moor Is up In the air again In regard to his fifth bout for his card. It probably will be picked out of the following boys: Fred Gilbert, Jack Wagner, Jack Allen. Billy " Williams. Joe Harty and Joe Hoft.

COACH'S ILLNESS IMPEDES With Absence of Trainer Hayward, Players Fail to Get Regular Practice Aggies to Be Met January 18 and 19. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Jan. 7. (Special.) With the first of the season's intercollegiate basket ball games but two weeks off and Coach Hayward away from the campus because of sickness, Oregon's loop game chances look far from rosy to the fol lowers of the lemon-yellow. Early In the Fall it was hoped that the early season practice could be started imme diately following' the football season. but an attack of poisoning, from whicn he has not yet fully recovered, kept Coach Hayward away from the floor all during December and the Christmas holidays found the team still un picked. Oregon's first scheduled games are with the Aggies, on the home floor, January IS and 19, and before that time the team must be selected and trained no small task with less than a dozen working days. In the absence of Coach Hayward the work of developing the team will fall to the lot of Assistant Coach Walker, who also has the fresh man five on his hands, and under his direction the boys have been going through light scrimmage and basket- shooting practice daily. From the standpoint of material available, the prospects are slightly more encouraging than when school closed before the holidays. What the candidates for the team lack in expe rience they are making up in some degree in the enthusiasm with which thev tackle the work. Also, there Is some encouragement to be gleaned from the number who are trying out for positions. There are no letter men of previous ' seasons to draw from, and but one recruit from the freshman quintet of last year. Fowler, who, with Sisler, Morrison and Grebe, seeks a forward berth. Runquist, Comfort and Lind are all making strong bids for the center po sition, and there is considerable con jecture as to which one of them will wear the varsity stripe. For guards, there is a wealth of material in Steers, Dow Wilson, Gilbert, Heywood, Par sons and Medley. , Y. M. C. A. JUXIOKS TO FEAST Annual Spirit Lake Camp Reunion to Be Held January 18.
