APPEARANCE PLEASES FANS
Northwestern Players Report That
; In Omaha They Saw Catcher
I Tom Murray Who AV1H Soon
Join McCredle's Team.
' BY W. J. PBTRAI.N.
Charles A. Mullln, of Cedar Rapids. Ia.,
ho is slated to hold down the Initial
eack for the Portland Northwestern
league club, accompanied by Catcher
John Harrigan. of Kansas, arrived in
Portland yesterday morning on their way
to Medford to Join Pearl Casey's squad
at the Spring training camp.
.Mullin is a strapping fellow, but on the
order of Jiggs" Donahue of the Chicago
American League club, and like the
famous brother of Pat Donahue, formerly
Of Portland, he Is possessed of a "carrot
!P" L. Llthe and active in his movements,
the big fellow appears to be every inch
tin i athlete, and . Manager Walter Mc
Credie was seemingly well advised when
he put in a draft for this player. Harri
gan is a stockily-bullt chap, with a pow
erful pair of shoulders, indicating that he
may show considerable class as a
catcher.
While at Omaha Mullin and Harrigan
met Catcher Tom Murray, who was en
route to San Luis Obispo to Join the Pa
cific Coast League club. The members
of the two Portland teams held a pleasant
reunion at the depot of the Nebraska
metropolis and disciussed-their prospects
According to Mu.lln. Murray was not
very favorably inclined to join the Port
land Coasters, but said he, would reserve
his opinion until after he has seen some
thing of the country.
-"Murray saia he had several chances
to play In the East." said Mullin last
night, "and was especially anxious to be
allowed to play with Pittsburg. He in
formed me that he had received a very
nice letter from Judge W. W. McCredle
and .Murray says this letter explained a
Jot of things to him that he had not
known before. Still, he was so set upon
P aylng with Pittsburg that he may not
like California. I don't know much about
him as a catcher, but he'll have to hustle
some to keep pace with this Armbruster,
who is playing with Portland."
When asked about his own Impressions
and prospects Mullln replied:
"I have never felt better in my life
; and I must say that this is glorious
weather. Do you have this kind all
; Spring? Well, if it Is half as good it will
be plenty. I feel like getting into the
; game right away. I don't Know many of
the players who are with the North
western team, but I guess 1 11 get ac
quainted fast enough. I know most of the
Aberdeen, and Magee and Rose of the
Seattle bunch. I guess 1 11 soon get ac
; qualnted In this league. Anyway. I ll do
I ' I c to help Manager Casey and the
Portland team win that pennant."
, Mullin and Harrigan look like a good
, pair to draw to. They are anxious to
I ct to Medford and should report to
Casey at noon today, as they left at 7-45
: o clock for the training camp.
The news brought by Mullin that Mur
ray is on the way is welcome Intelligence

Gotch. champion wrestler of the world
arrived here today from Chicago to put
on the final touches for his championship
match with Raoul de Rouen, the French
man, before the Missouri Athletic Club
t Convention Hall, Thursday night. De
Rouen, accompanied by a string of train
.ars. arrived last night.
Ootch looked to be In perfect condition,
and expressed himself a confident of the
result. He added:
., "I am better today than ever before."
De Rouen said:
..."Americans have, somewhat underrated
"me. I have been overworked while in
the t'nited States, but I have had a good
rest lately, and am now in good condi

produce an American champion, will' be
held next month under the direction of
Mike Dwyer. physical director and wreot
ilng instructor of the Illinois Athletic
Club, of this city. The bouts will begin
April 1. two days after the Gotch-Mah-mout

AVI I.ti FORM AMATEUR I.EAGTTE
Representatives of Local Teams to
Organize Today.
The Portland Amateur Baseball League
Is to be launched at a meeting to be held
at room 2 in the Portland Y. M. C. A.
, building at Fourth and Yamhill streets
i tonight. Ail managers of amateur teams
which contemplate playing Independent
ball this season are requested to be in
attendance, and the promoters of the
new league expect an organization of
from 8 to 12 clubs can be formed.
The advocates of the plan contend
that the interests of the amateur game
will be much better served by the per
fecting of a regular organization. There
are enough vacant grounds in the city
to permit of three or four, if not more
games each Sunday, and in this manner
a regular schedule can be arranged. By
playing out such a series the champion
ship of the city will be decided beyond
dispute. The majority of the teams in
the independent league would be evenly
balanced as to strength, and .the race
should prove a most interesting one.

MARCH CO.
Portland Sports Will Have Chance to
See Three Good Matches In
Series Next Week.
In order that two wrestling matches
may not come so close together, and be
cause Eugene Tremblay will be unable
to reach Portland by April 1, Eddie
O Connell has made a slight switch in his
wrestling programme. Instead of wrest
ling on April 1, he has announced his next
match for the night of March 30, the same
night Dr. Roller meets Hjalmar Lundin
in Seattle, and the Multnomah instruc
tor's opponent will be Joe Urlacher. a
new York Wrestler, who recently defeat
ed Con Albright three falls In one hour.
O'Conrfell is meeting Urlacher in a
straight match, and while the Easterner
outweighs the local grappler, O'Connell
believes he can defeat him. Urlacher
will weigh in at noon of the day of the
match at 160 pounds. The O'Connell
Tremblay bout is slated for April 8, which
means the Portland wrestling fans will
have a series of three matches, each of
which Is expected to be interesting.
John Berg, or Young Hackenschmldt,
who is to wrestle Dr. Benjamin Franklin
Roller, of Seattle, .aprll 2, left last night
for Eugene, where he is matched with
Joe La Salle at catch weights for Thurs
day night. "Hack" came down from
Shipherd's Springs yesterday and ex
pressed himself as fit as a fiddle. He said
his leg was so strong he decided to take
on La Salle in a practice match. La
Salle is a fairly good wrestler and "Hack"
must believe himself quite strong to
tackle this man so close to the date of
his contest with Dr. Roller, who is known
as one of the best men in the country.
If proper arrangements can be made
with the management of the Exposition
Rink, that place will be the scene of the
Roller-Berg match, as well as those of
Eddie O'Connell and his opponents, for it
is the most available auditorium in the
city. It is quite- probable that the man
agers of both matches will make some
sort of an arrangement with Manager
Randall of the rink whereby the seating
capacity will be increased and arranged
so that all holders of reserved seats will
secure the seat corresponding to their
ooupons. Some trouble has been experi
enced In the past because of the faulty
seating arrangements.

Comiskey will stop in Portland long
enough to have a talk with Fielder
Jones. While Comiskey denies that he
ever had any intention of offering Jones
S20.000 to return to the fold, he says he
has a good proposition to make, and is
apparently confident of landing his old
manager.
"One hour's personal talk," said Co

MANAGER
READY FOR FIGHT
McCredie Doesn't Like Way He
Is Being Treated in Coast
League; Will Ask Rights.
TEAM IN EXCELLENT SHAPE
With bnt Few Days Before First
Game, Portland Aggregation Is
Right Up to Mark and Is Ex
pected to Play Fine Ball.
. , BY WILL C MAC HAS.
,Jt! ,VUIS OBIS:pO. CaL. March 23.
(Special.) Already the hounds down
here are harking at Manager McCredie
and the Portland team, and everything
points to a hot time for the Portland
magnate this season. The row that has
been kicked up over Shinn. and the fact
that Portland has two teams this year,
hasn t been at all to the fancy of these
narrow-minded California fans, and that
they are going to take it out oc the team
Is the surest thing you know. At first
the San Francisco scribes were blaming
President Cal Ewing for allowing Port
land to break into the Northwestern
League, and foxy Mr. Ewing was willing
to take the blame rather. than tell the
truth. Then on the heels of this came
his attempt to deprive the McCredles of
Bhlnn, and now every baseball writer
from Sacramento south to Los Angeles
is taking a wallop at Portland, and espe
cially at McCredie.
This California wing of the Coast
League has never been over-much in love
with Portland, not since the McCredles'
fair play has been Insisted upon. As long
as Portland wn uhik..- - , , .
-i . . iu uawj along in
swaddling clothes and was willing to take
oiierea, tnmgs went along
Jolly smooth. When Portland demanded
and insisted upon getting what was com
ing, then the California moguls began to
howl about unreasonable demands. They
have always assumed the attitude that it
was a concession to allow Portland to put
a. team In the Coast League, when In
fact the city up north has done more than
its share in keeping the league going.
What the Papers Say.
A sample of what Manager McCredie
can expect this season, and the feeling
which Is heing created in Sacramento.
oaRland, San Francisco and Los Angeles
Is very apparent. One newspaper In Saii
FranctBco. in printing the account of the
White Sox game, said:
"Even Portland beats the White Sox."
Down in Los Angeles one' of the after
noon newspapers came out the other day
with a long screed abusing McCredie
and charged him with robbing the cradle
of infants and putting them in a Port
land uniform. I have no idea who the
brilliant scribe Is who wrote this rot. but
in charity It must have been some JlO-a-week
scribbler.
Now. Portland may not win the Coast
League pennant. It's altogether too early
to make any predictions, hut it's a cinch
that Manager Mac has a lot of hired
men on his payroll, taking them man for
man, who can either play ball with any
team in the league, or fight them man
for man. It Is to he hoped that Captain
Dillon and the rtfst of his veterans hold
the same opinion of the Portland team
If they have this opinion, they are going
to have a brilliant opportunity to change
their minds within the next ten days. By
watching the games that all of the other
Coast League teams have played against
me -uicago ream, i can't for the life of
me see where they have anything on us.
Mac Ready for Trouble.
Manager McCredie realizes he is going
to be up against it down here this season,
and he Is going to be ready for trouble
at all times. It's very patent his route
to the pennant will be beset with many
rough passages, especially if the umps
are seeking to curry favor with Presi
dent Ewing. All of the Coast League
magnates know McCredie to be a scrappy
manager, and about the first thing that
will be attempted will he to goad him
beyond control, so as to make him lose
his head. He realizes this, and will be
on his guard.
Before the season opens he will hold
several heart-to-heart talks with his
players, and they will he warned to look
out for breakers ahead. This does not
mean that he will lay down and quietly
submit to being double-crossed, or that
he will send a lot of ball players onto the
field that will be frightened and afraid
to fight.
"I'm going to make the boys fight for
every game." said McCredie, in discuss
ing his plans, "but I'm not going to take
any chances of having them thrown out
of tho game. If I find, after the season
opens, we are up against a combination,
then look out. for trouble will be brewing
fast and furious. All I want is an even
break. I am going to Insist upon this,
and any attempt to hand Portland the
hot end of the poker will be a signal for
a fight. We had a sample of It during
the last part of the season last year,
when everything possible was done to
shunt us out of second place. We had to
stand for the raw work last year, but
Jhls year we simply will not put up with
Some Past History.
Here's another sample of San Fran
cisco's loyalty: Last season. It will be
remembered, the Seals opened in Port
land. The team played four games, and
Nick Williams took back with him a
check for $2100 for his share of the gate.
On the opening day some one kicked a
board off the fence, and It was rumored
that he charged money to let people
through the opening. When 'Williams re
turned to San Francisco he flaunted the
check, and then had the nerve to say he
had been robbed In Portland, giving out
the impression that the McCredles were
the responsible parties.
The next week along came Los Angeles
and took out of Portland something like
$2700. To offset this, Portland played ten
games In San Francisco, and the biggest
check McCredie ever received was less
than UO0. Then they have the nerve to
say both San Francisco and Los Angeles
are better ball towns than Portland!
If the National Commission decides In
Portland's favor in the Shinn matter, one
Buddy Ryan will find himself playing
ping-pong on the bench. McCredie is cer
tainly hot under the collar the way Ryan
Is acting. Last season he did not report
until he was good and ready, and he got
away with it. This year he will find
McCredie In a different frame of mind
when he shows up. McCredie is very
apt to assess him $100 for failing to re
port on time, and if Shlnn makes good in
the outfield, it will be the bench and util
ity role for Ryan.
Whether it is Just a plain case of sulks
or whether Ryan Is dissatisfied, McCredie
does not know. Ryan wrote for a J75 ad
vance, and it was mailed to him at Oak
land, and he did not have sense to go to
the postofflce and call for the letter.
Then ' he wired from Denver, and the
money and his ticket was sent him. Im
agine McCredle's state of mind when he
heard Saturday that Ryan hadn't called
for his ticket. Ryan evidently expected
. -""'i'""y ii euip ix to nun
The training-, camp will be broken up
here Saturday morning. Mac will take
his crew to Los Angeles, and will play a
Sunday game at Vernon with the Meyer
team. The rest of the time between Sun
day and the opening will be spent In
practice on the Los Angeles ground. The
fans at this place all regret .the de
parture of the team, and there has been
urgent demand made upon Manager Mc
Credie by the fans and the business men
to do his training here next season. The
Portland mogul has intimated that if
Portland Is in the Coast League next year
he would sure return to San Luis for his
training.
