I V - - J The bugs and buglets who make the winter merry with curbstone baseball played in conversation only will have it that Bill Essick's Vernon Tigers have a cinch on repeating their pen-pant-winning performance of last season. As for the Beavers oh, well, you know. They may and may not. look pretty good In the spring:, perhaps make a rush late in the summer, and then crank under the strain and drop to the same old second division ig nominity when the real stretch comes along. In other words, the said bugs and buglets realize that Bill Essick has practically no problem of rebuilding-, having almost the team he had last season. On the other hand, the Beavers will have the same material to build with again this year, but last season the building material proved very shaky. In spots the framework held, but in others it collapsed, and it seems im possible for one to believe that the club can be put through a stage as it stands on an even, competitive basis with the flag-grabbing Tigers. Other teams in the league are de termined not to let Vernon repeat this coming season, and are. gather ing some mighty fast combinations together, making it all the tougher for a weak-cogged outfit to get along. Thpro will not be any soft clubs to Walk over to fatten the percentage column. Bvery week's series prom ises to be a hard one in 1919. Five Beaver regulars have signed "P to date. They are Del Baker, 'Suds" Sutherland. Art Koehler, Wes -Kingdon and "Biff" Schaller. Con tracts are in the hands of all the players and. are drifting in daily. Walter MeCredie expects Tex Wister ail and George Maisel to fall in line next. "Lefty" Schroeder and Lou Blue, last year regulars, are balking on terms and several of the men turned over by Detroit, including Rudy Kallio. are in the holdout class. It is not likely that Jack Farmer, outfielder, or Carroll Jones, pitcher, will be with Portland next season, as both are slated to figure in loom ing trades. A complete list of Beavers, signed nd unsigned, follows: ( Catcher Del Baker and Art Koehler. Pitchers Ripnt-handers. Rudy Kallio. Carroll Jones. Al Sutherland..

' Tietroit offered to give Macon, Ga., the glassy stare for Los Angeles but when Frank Navin. prexy of the Ben galeers. sent word that the famous Tyrus Raymond Cobb would not be with the organization the southern owners could not see the Tigers for dust. Without Cobb the Detroits, de spite the. fact that they have their Heilmans, Flagsteads, Bushes, etc., lack a lot of their drawing power, "Baffling Bill" Essick, baseball Na poleon in command of Eddie Maier's army of tossers, announced that the St. Louts American League club will not train south this spring. The baf fling one is the recipient of a letter from Phf? Bali, owner of the Brownies conveying the sad news that plans previously made with National league and other clubs for exhibition games going and returning from the south land, where the St. Louis men will condition, made it necessary to caJl tne coast trip oil. The players who are figured to be in the Sseals training camp at Stock ton up to date are as follows: Pitchers Smith, Bromley. Sea ton Lundberg, Steele, Jordan, Couch and aicyuatd. Catchers Baldwin, Agnew and An- rinson. Infielders Koerner, Caveney Cor- nan. K amm, Kerr and Coddineton. Outfielders Connolly, Hunter, Fitz- scraia, ocnicn ana t uonireil. Utility player Zamboch. Ernie Johnson pulled off a good deal when he traded Pitcher Bale to Tallas for Pitcher Madison, is the belief of many baseball men here. Madison is a good 'pitcher and it is believed he will help Salt Lake more man Dale would. Tuck in your chin, fellows, and treaa rne diamond lightly. It's going to be a tough time for tne cnronic "crabs" of the diamond to get by in the Coast league next year. Dangerous Dan McGrew was killed long ago in poetry, but his namesake twice as dangerous and thrice as courageous, is going to umpire in the w circuit tnis coming season.

Terrible Ted has been maKing tne eastern players lay down and say "Uncle" when he hooked nts inumo over his right shoulder. President McCarthy has planned to make one or two changes in the staff of Coast league umpires this year, and McGrew is the first one to be Bigned, sealed and deliverer!. It is believed there will not be more than two changes, as the umpires In the Coast league did excellent work last year and, many, of the managers would be satisfied . if there wasn't a single change. Three young semi-professional play ers have been signed by Eddie Herr, scout for the Detroit Americans. Herr does not claim the lads are world beaters at present, but he believes with a year's experience in a minor circuit the lads will show consider able improvement. Lester Jarvis, as outfielder with the Utah Agricultural college, was the first man signed by Herr since Joining Frank Navin's scouting force. Howard Smith, a left handed pitcher, and George Grant ham, a third baseman, both 'of whom are from Kingman. Ariz., also have been lined up by Herr. . The favorite bat of Babe Ruth one he knocked 18 homers with last sea-son-r-is no more. And Babe is griev ing. It was a good 'bat. He smashed it in an (.exhibition game recently at San Diego.

Eugene Takes on Winged M Five Saturday After Double Clash With U. of W. Tossers. Captain It;l Mix and Acting Man ager Harry Fischer of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club basketball team put their charges through hard workout Monday night and will give the Winged M hoopers another session of stiff practice Thursday night in preparation for the game with the University of Oregon five. which Is slated for the Winged M cage on Saturday night. Multnomah's victory over- the Oregon Aggies earlier In the season and the defeat which the Winged M basket-tossers handed the Whitman college five last Saturday night would indicate that the clubmen will more than hold their own aguinst the fast University of Oregon quintet. Oregon will play a fwo-game series with the University of Washington at Seattle this week. The first game will be played Thursday night and the second Friday, the Oregon players returning to Portland Saturday for the contest with the local clubmen. George A.

COUGAR HOOPERS TRIM IDAHO Superior Condition Tells in Firs Conference Battle. UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO. Moscow Jan. 20. (Special.) The University of Idaho basketball five succumbed to the Washington State college team tonight. 32 to 17. The game was the opening confer ence contest for the two rival insti tutions and was bitterly fought throughout, notwithstanding the long lead the Cougars gained in the final period. The first stanza was a draw, with the Pullman men nosing out with a two-point lead, .13 to 11. The Cougars showed superior pass ing, and their ability- to handle the leather was a surprise for this stage of the season. The Gem staters showed a lack of stamina and condition which became marked as the game neared the final pistol. This factor was taken advantage of by Bohler's well-conditioned athletes, who began a spurt shortly after the beginning of the second half- which soon placed them far in the lead.

E. F. In France: "In justice to Jack Dempsey, world's champion, I must demand that you cease Immediately your propaganda that you are now starting through out .the country in your efforts to boost Bob Martin and to promote a fight between him and Carpentler by sending out literature which Is false and misleading, in which you are at tempting to convey an Impression that Jack Dempsey was a draft-dodger and unfit to represent America in a titular battle. Letter Angers Kearn. "I have in my possession now a letter which you are sending broad cast quoting unwarranted resolutions to sh,ow Dempsey was a draft-dodger and which you are using in an effort o discredit Dempsey and using the American Legion in an effort to boost your fighter. Your action is the most outrag eous injustice ever attempted by a manager and rival fighter. Real sportsmen do not have to adopt those methods, and if there are any more moves like that on your part I will be forced to take the proper legal action. . War Record Defended. 'Dempsey. followed the dictation of his government and acted according to the instructions of bis draft board. and the chairman of said draft board, John S. Hogan, states over his own signature that Dempsey was more valuable in the field in which he was placed than if he were carrying a gun. 1 must insist upon immediate assurance from you that you will stop at once the propaganda which you have instituted as an Individual member of the American Legion to bring nation-wide condemnation upon Jack Dempsey and to use the Ameri can Legion merely and solely for -your own personal profit and gain and to capitalize for. your own selfish in terest the American Legion."

Franklin D'Olier, national commander of the egiou, today wrote Mr. Kearns that it was not considered a function of the American Legion to pass on the exemption of men from military service during the war. The letter follows: "The national headquarters of the American Legion - contemplates . no action . In reference to the subject matter of your letters of January 14. "It is not a function of the Ameri can Legion to review acts of the government during the war in con nection with the classification of men subject to selective service act. or to review the claims of any individual who finds it necessary to justify his exemption from military service."

The coiftest at Vancouver was very rough, with the Omega team resorting to football tactics in an effort to put some of the Parkway team out of the running. Dubinsky and Goldstone of the Parkway five were both injured and probably will be laid up for some time. Morris Rogoway. the Winged M center, had a good night at shoot ing fouls and converted eight out of nine. Rogoway and Goldstone both featured by sending several long, clean shots through the hoop.

Ed ward Walsh, one time star pitcher of the Chicago Americans, has signed to manage the Bridgeport club of the Eastern league tor the coming season, BY RICHARD R. SHARP. Matchmaker Frank Kendallr of the Milwaukie boxing commission com pleted his card for next Wednesday night yesterday by signing two spe cial events. Tommy Hayes, a San Francisco battler scaling 145 pounds, will tangle with Mike Pete of Seattle in one of the special mills of six rounds duration, while Lackey Mor row, clever Tacoma featherweight. will box Nell Zimmerman six cantos. Tommy Hayes, who is rated as one of the toughest customers at his weight in California, will come here especially to act as a sparring partner for Boy McCormick, light heavy weight champion of England, who will box Captain Bob Roper of Chi cago in the main event. McCormick has been unable to line up any boxers here to act as sparring mates who have been able to aive him any kind of a workout so asked the Milwaukie commission to use Hayes on the card against- s o m e good welterweight. Hayes was to have left San Francisco yesterday for Portland. Bob Roper arrived in Portland yes terday from Chicago accompanied by his trainer, Charley Cutler. Roper is a pleasing looking mittman, and is not a sample of the average heavy weight bruiser. Roper will work out at one of the local gymnasiums this alternoon. Lackey Morrow, the Tacoma 128 pounder, should give Neil Zimmerman the hardest fight the latter has ex perlenced here in some time. Morrow gave Joe Gorman a-nip-and-tuck fight in Seattle several months ago and also met Zimmerman in the Puget sound city. Morrow Is training in Tacoma for his coming mill. Harry Pelsinger will arrive within the next few days from San Fran Cisco to complete training for his ten round setto in the semi-windup against iari Baird of Seattle. The Portland boxing commission unless a special attraction is lined up. will limit the sum, to be paid bat tiers on any one card to $2000. The money has not been rolling in of late and the rule has been made to escape a aeticit. Joe Benjamin, who wiii meet Fred die Anderson In the main event of the Portland card at the armory. Feb ruary 20. will leave New York fo Portland between February 1 and 5. a Two cards ar scheduled for Port land in March, the first at the Heilig theater, March 3. They are now talking of a 43-round match between Battling Ortega and Mike O'Dowd at Tijuana for the mid dleweight championship of the world. It is said that James Coffroth favors staging such a contest if O'Dowd would consent. Fred Fulton is scheduled to meet Tom Cowler in a six-round go in Philadelphia tonight, fowler is once more in good standing as the result of his knockout victory over Al Reich in Jersey City recently. Fulton fought Cowler In St. Louis over a year ago and received the surprise of his life. It seems that the bout was fixed and Fulton was to go along and let Cowler stay a few rounds and not hurt him. Cowler double-crossed Ful ton and tore after Mm in the first round, putting him down twice for a count. Fulton weathered the storm and after regaining his bearings stowed Cowler away before the fight was over. If Boy McCormick is successful in defeating Bob Roper in Milwaukie next Wednesday night he is going after a match with Bob Martin. Mar tin is said to have a chance to meet Georges Carpentler but the Boy thinks If he gets a crack at the A. E. F. champion first he would get the op portunity to meet Carpentier in his stead. When it comes to army records none of thein has anything on Mc Cormick. He ran away from his home in Dublin. Ireland, when he was 14 years old to enlist in the British army and was with the colors until January 14. 1919. when he received his honorable discharge. Harry Schuman will meet Eddie Shannon of San Francisco in the main event of tomorrow night'a fistic card in Tacoma. They will travel six rounds. Stanley Willis h-as challenged the winner. Sidelights and Satire. A FTER chasing the big boxing bout all around the United States they even want to dust it out in Mex ico. The governor of California can't bear tho thought of the fracas even in his neighbor's yard. The anti-boxing dictum is just a little snack for Mexico. The United States has a full course to offer in anti-racing, anti-gambling and pro hibition legislation. And some people continue to harp on the patriotism of bringing the big bout to the United States. But the American Legion is not impressed. Jack Kearns sees the light. "Paris or London," he says. Folks are getting lots of publicity at the expense of the two boxers. Coffroth has boomed his race track at Tia Juana. which will open in a few weeks; Fox has called attention to his moving pictures and Cochran has turned the limelight on his the atrical enterprises in London. So far little money has changed hands. Who's the next bidder? Connie Mack has signed Scott Perry and Cravath finds Casey Stengel in a receptive mood. With two such cele brated holdouts in line it seems like mid-April. Next to having a cigar named after him, the greatest honor that can come to a ball player is to have a boxer assume his cognomen.
