10 M'CBEDIE'S TEAM READY FOR BUTTLE Graney and Harkness Groom for Today's Contest With " White Sox. BR HEN SUDDENLY SICK lifoovers After Bad Xlght and Prom ises to Bo on Hand Keen In- icrest in San liuis Over Fight for Shlnn. SAX LUIS OBISPO, Cal., March 15. (Special.) McCredie's crew of hopefuls are ready for the great battle with the Chicago White Sox, which will take place tomorrow afternoon. Owing to another switch, undoubtedly due to ttome more of the California spirit, Portland will again meet the second team In stead of the first, as was originally scheduled. By this change the first team goes to Sacramento, and plays two games with Charley Graham's lads. -Manager McCredie has been groom ing Graney and Harkness for the game. He will hold Carson In reserve. Both Graney and Harkness are in the pink of condition, and it will take lots of tiptop baseball to beat them. The rest of the team are In pretty good shape with the exception of Dick Breen. After yesterday's game the Keystone sackcr was a mighty sick boy, and for a time last nlgnt it was thought a doctor would have to bo called to treat him. Thla morning he was feeling bet ter, and after a stiff workout and rest this afternooon he says he Is much bet ter and will surely be on the firing line against the Sox. San Luis will go Into holiday attire tomorrow. All of the principal busi ness houses will close during the after noon. Already the fans from the near by towns ere arriving, and tonight every hotel In the place Is crowded. This will be the first visit of a big lesgue club In this neck of. the woods, and the people look upon the occasion as something not to bo missed. Another curious thing about the fans down here Is the keen Interest they lake In the row over Shlnn. The Breese, an afternoon newspaper prints Judge W. W. McCredie's protest in full, and the feeling against President Kwlng Is as bitter as It must be at home. HEAVERS TO BR "WHITE SOX" Portland I'nlform to Be Changed and Soubriquet With It. SAN LUIS OBISPO. Cal., March 15 (Special.) With the arrival of Dick Ureen. Portland's infield Is complete, and for the first time since training began this Important piece of machin ery Is In working order. It will be a duck-footed infield, for Johnson, Ole son and Breon are bowlegged and pigeon-toed, leaving Ed Kennedy the only straight-limbed player on the in ner garden. The first serious work out of the In field came Friday, and. while Breen is sadly handicapped because of a stub born cold, the exhibition they gave of trapping ground-hit balls, and the way they got the ball away after It was caught was enough to .assure the statement that McCredie will send to the ball field the fastest infield Port land has ever had. Looking over the team, even this early in the training season, and com paring them with what the other teams In the league are doing, I think it safe to predict that we will alwavs be right up there in the fight. It will be the team that beats the Portland Whlto Sox that will float the pennant of 1809. During the first two weeks of the opening season, should it hap pen that Portland Is deprived of the services of Jimmy Shlnn, McCredie may find himself a bit weak In the out field. McCredie was figuring strong on Shinn. for the little -fellow Is as fast as a deer, with a good deal of Pearl Casey's ability to get on the bases. McCredie was going to use him to lead off in the batting order. Oleson, another very fast man, was to follow! then either Breen or himself, with Johnson, Kennedy and the rest to fol low. If Ort shows up well he will be placed .up neacr the top of the batting order with Buddy Ryan, if he ever makes up his mind to report. What McCredie needs right now more than anything else Is a couple of good pitchers. Carson, Harkness, Seaton and Wlllett will sure make one of the teams. Gray is a big fellow, but un less ne smokes up pretty soon and shows more than he has so far, he will be dropped from the hopeful roll. Sam Ferrals looks big and huwky enough to make a pitcher, but before passing Judgment on him, it will be well to see him work several days. Manager Mao has a slight suspicion that Sam's arm has gone back on him and before passing him along to Man ager Casey, Mac will give him a seri ous tryout. Garrlty is another mem ber of the training squad who will not make either team. He is fast and can cover lots of ground In the outfield, but he is a mighty weak sister at bat. Garrlty needs another season in the bushes and a lot of schooling with the big stick before he can hope to break Into fast company. The fans will be wondering at the new name for the team. We've tried many names since Portland Joined the Coasters. The Beavers served a sea son, and the furry animal may be all right when it comes to a working diet, but when It comes to speed he Is in the same class with the snail. Last season there were only one or two real workers on the team the rest ware snails. McCredie has ordered blue uniforms, and this season, Instead of a white stocking with blue band, he will have Ms players wear an all-white stocking. This is the same kind of a stocking worn by the famous White Sox of Chi cago, so here's the reason for calling them the Portland White Sox. Some of the wise name-producers of Portland will perhaps throw a fit at the sug gested change, so call for the doctor. . - Catcher Armbruster and Dick Breen are great hunters and fishermen. They are anxious to gat home, so on an off day they can go fishing. Armbruster spent the Winter !n the Maine woods ramping out with another ball player. He smears If the hunting and fishing In Oregon is as good as the stories he has heard about, he will do the same thing in Oregon this Winter. Here's a story that hasn't been told. All of the Portland road uniforms are minus the white letter P. and behind their disappearance Is a yarn of a hot gam played at San Francisco dur- ins th t9(r An,l 1 . o rt cuu Beitttoa, jao of the Coast umps drove Bobby Groom and Cooney out of a game when Port land was fighting like demons to hang onto second place. McCredie thought the umps were handing him a package, so as soon aa the inning ended he rounded up his players and each tore off the white P. "Now," said Mc Credie, "they won't know us and they will think we are Oakland." John Gladstone Graney Is the story teller of the training crew. The hope fuls get around him during the evening hours and make him tell of his Ori ental trip. Graney's description of Mlque Fisher In- a dinner coat at a Bwell reception Is as funny as any thing ever told on the stage. Mlque managed to decorate his shirt bosom with tobacco Juice until it looked like It had a sad case of Jaundice. U There is a tall traveling man who matces ban Lmis who Is often taken for McCredie by the natives of San Luis. The other day the traveling man was playing a slot machine and had lost. Up stepped Mr. Johnny Wise and. drop ping a nickel into the machine, came through wiih a straight flush. "That's the way to turn the trick, Mac," said the native, and the traveling man liked to have dropped dead. "Now, only a few cigars will do me. Here, you take the 100 cigars and I'll take the 60." Wise, of course the traveling man was wise. He took the smokes and then promised to win the pennant for the fellow. McCredie did not even get a smoke out of It.

Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion by virtue of his victory over Burns, emphatically denied tonlgljt that his wife was a white wo man. "Mrs. Johnson," said the fighter, "is three-quarters colored blood, and I did not marry her in Australia. Her maiden name was Hattie Smith, and we were married In Mississippi about two and one half years ago. She went to Australia from London with me." Johnson will not go to Galveston, Tex., his home town, according to his present plan Ho says he has engagements in the East in the near future. After that he will sail for London to get ready for his fight with Sam Langford, the latter part of May. The champion will remain here until the arrival of Hugh Mcintosh, the promoter of the Johnson-Burns tight in Australia. They will talk over the chances of a fight with James J. Jeffries. The ides of March hereafter will have a. significance to Chicago's colored papu lation other than that given by Roman history, for today Jack Johnson, the first colored champion of the world, appeared among them. Crowd Awaits Champion. They were at -the railroad station where Johnson was expected at 7 o'clock and waited patiently for two hours until the delayed train arrived. Polkadot hosiery peg-top trousers, boldly designed shirts, the masculine of the cabriolet hat, they were garbed according to the latest dic tates of fashion as' promulgated from the sartorial throne of the so-called black belt. There was a hush as the conqueror of Tommy Burns alighted from the Pull man. His eye was keen; his step was Jaunty. There was lithe strength appar ent in every movement and his smile showed appreciation of mingling again with his old friends. "He's wearing a gray fedora," whis pered one of the crowd, "Just like mine." "And look at the field glasses over his shoulder. Reckon he wants them to look for Jeffries."

Con Albright, otherwise known as the Rochester Whirlwind, hopes to redeem himself tonight for his defeat at the hands of Eddie O'Connell, the Multno mah Club grappler, when he meets Dan Sullivan, of Montana, at Merrill's Hall. Albright has been working hard and Is In excellent shape for the contest. - As the men meet at catch-weights, neither has been tied down with the fear of being over weight. Albright. in particular, weighing about seven pounds more than he did when he met O'Connell. The men are required to weigh In at 6 o'clock. Albright expects to turn the scale at 152. while Sullivan will likely be a pound or so under that. Sullivan Is working hard for a chance to get at O'Connell, and should he win he will have proved to the local wrestling supporters that he is worth a match. Up to the present, Sullivan has had no op portunity of proving himself and conse quently It was not too difficult for Sul livan and Albright to come to terms. Both men are In the pink of condition and the match should prove a sturdy one. Sullivan has been training with Duffels of. Holland, one-time Graeco-Roman champion of that country, and Albright has worked out with H. A. Cole, amateur champion, of St. Louis. Cole has decided to quit the amateur ranks and will meet Duffels in a preliminary, his first professional match. Another preliminary will be furnished by Aber nathy and Bummerville, both of whom are known by -previous appearances in the ring. The first match will be called at 8:30. Joe Acton will referee. Joe Helnrich, of Spokane, has written accepting the challenge issued by Albright and agrees to meet Albright on either March 19 or March 20. at Pullman, Col fax or Moscow, Wash. Albright says he will be good for the Match Saturday, March 20. although it Is specified in the acceptance that the match shall be at catch-weights, and Albright had not expected this feature. The agree ments specify that the match shall be for the best two out of three falls. GOV. DENEEX BARS PRIZEFIGHT Bout Declared Off After Entire Seat ing Capacity Has Been Sold.

The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club basketball five is scheduled to give the T. M. C. A. a return game at the Asso ciation gymnasium Friday. In all prob- aonity this will be the most hotly con tested basketball game of the year, for on the first meeting the clubmen whipped the Association quint In no uncertain manner. With an Improved five and ail-round better team work and combina tion play, the Association boys believe that they will reverse matters Friday. ine slight benefit given by the floor has figured in the game In past years, for almost invariably each team has won the home games. By winning the state championship the Multnomah five has proved its worth, apart from the fact that the clubmen have only lost two games this season. The contest will set tle the question of the city championship if the game is won by Multnomah, but should the Association win, there will have to be a third game on a neutral court.

WEEDING OUT UNDER WAY Promoters Declare Without Hesita tion That Local Contest Will Be One of Fastest Ever Nego tiated in This Country. The string Is now beginning to close around the net of entries for the "Big Oregon Marathon."
