Barnahe Has Bad Day Against Southpaw When Boss Mack Loosens W raps. ONTARIO, Cal.. March 24. (Spe cialsThird Baseman Wisterzill sig nalized his' initial appearance with the Portland Beavers in spring train ing today by battering the outfield fences to a jelly pulp. The ex-holdout infielder from San Antonio has been doing training work with the New York Giants down in the lone star state and reported in tip-top con dition. He finished today's game be tween two picked teams with a per , feet batting mark three hits and a dead ball. The infield regulars walloped the outfield regulars 3-2, the game going the full nine innings. Full Speed A brad Signalled. Boss McCredie took the ban off the "curve" ball before the contest and gave all his men the sign to go full speed ahead from this time forth. Both young twirlers Southpaw Libke for the winners and Sylvester John son for the losers went the full nine frames. Liibke was touched for nine hits and Johnson for 10. Johnson's wobbly throwing to the bases, cou pled with the slugging of Wisterzil and "Suds" Sutherland, proved the Portland cadets' undoing. In line with his decision of several days ago. McCredie shifted Charley Barnahe to right field, alongside Mai- j sel and Schaller, and the Los Angeles eouthpaw cadet experienced his first bad day since entering the camp, as Southpaw Liibke seemed to have his number, or else Barnahe is weak against left-handed pitching. Mc Credie says he intends to use Cnx against portsiders and Barnabe against the right-paws. Cox Divides Honor. Cox divided battibg honors with Wisterzill. bagging three hits in four trips. Cox seems to be hitting chief ly high-fly balls. One of his hits today would have been an easy out In the Toitland park. The interesting and somewhat me teoric career of Southpaw Bill Leshvr came to no abrupt close today so far as Portland Is concerned. Lcsher tried to jump from tending pigs and manicuring horses on a western Can ada farm to pitching ball in the Coast league, and the jump proved too ex pensive. McCredie handed him an outright release this morning so Uiat he might give his uniform to Wister zil. If Leshcr had been a big man like Bill James or McCredie and his suit too large for Wisterzil. he might or would have made the team. Leshcr's arm has been lame ever since the first day he reported and pitched five in nings in a yannigan game. The bu colic left-hander may catch on with Nick Williams' Moose Jaw club.

After a strenuous work out this morning the Vernon club sat in the grandstand this afternoon Batching the Cubs lick the Angels. Bill Essick's tribe plays tiruins to morrow. The only thing Essick is worrying about is third base. He has pitchevs enough to start the season, although two more are coming from the Yankees. Elmer Hill. San Diego recruit, has to a great extent made good, and for the time being will fill the shoes of one of the three missing pitchers Houck and Dawson retired and Finneran, who will play with Akron this semester. Red Smith will be a few days late in reporting owing to the illness of Ms child at Atlanta, Ga. Hap Morse will start the season at third base. The Tigers will face the barrier i slower team than the one of last sea son. Muesel, who is now with the Yankees, although not the fastest man in the world, stole more bases last season than Smith will steal in the coast league during the coming session. Smith stole but eight bases with the Boston Braves last season and is slowing up. OAK REGS DEFEAT YAXX1GAXS Howard Smiles When Pitchers Show Mid-Season Form. - OAKLAND. CaLr March 24. (Spe cial.)

The Davis cup committee, at its meeting here last Monday night, decided to recom mend to the United States Lawn Ten nis association that this country send no tennis team to the Olympic games. it was announced tonight. This recommendation will be made at the assolcation's meeting here Friday night, when the committee also will recommend its suggested dates of July g to 10. and July 15 to 17 for the Davis cup matches. The committee decided it was im practicable for the United States to send a team to Belgium because the schedule of tennis events overlapped those of championships In the United States. An attempt will be made to schedule the Davis cup matches so that they can be played with a minimum re quirement of 'traveling. South Africa has been requested by cable to send its Davis cup team to England so that the match with that country can be played July 8 to 10. If that proves feasible, an effort will be made to have the winner of that match play the winner of the England-Holland match July Id to 17. In case some such arrangement cannot be made, the committee will recommend (hat the United States send its team direct to Australia and play all the preliminaries there.

The championship of the hoop circuit is at stake. Both teams are ready for the final and deciding game. It will be played on the Y. M. C. A. floor. As it stands now. Washington is leading the league with a record of seven games won and one defeat for the season. Franklin Is second with six victories and one defeat and should the Quakers win from Benson Miis afternoon they will go into a tie with Washington for the 1920 title. On the other hand, if the wearers of the Maroon F should get upset by the Mechanics, Washington will have a clear claim to the title, with Franklin, Lincoln and Benson all tied for second place. With two teams as evenly matched as the Franklin and Benson teams are, it is going to be no easy matter to figure the outcome of the game until the final whistle. As to com parative scores in games with other teams, it can be sftid that both quin tets hold victories over the Lincoln team, Benson by a narrow margin of one point and with Franklin on the long end of a 25 to 14 score over the Railsplitters. Franklin's one defeat this year was at the hands of the Washington five, while it remained for Coach Dewey's Columbia university tossers to upset the dope and nose out Benson by a one-point lead. Benson also dropped a game to the Washington hoopers. If the Franklin players display the speed and combination playing which characterized their victory over Lin coln they will have an excellent chance of topping the Tech school five. There has been a noticeable lack of accurate foul shooters on the teams this season. Several games have been won by the narrow margin of one point and if there had been some one of the losing team who could have dropped the free throws through the hoop with any degree of accuracy the defeat might have turned into a vic tory. Winnie Scott of Benson is per haps the best foul shooters in the league. 1 IXDEPEXDEXT M FITTING DUE Managers to Talk Over Season Prospects Tonight.
