TIIE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1910. "CY" YOUNG HERE; MAT 8E FARMER VETERAN FITCHES WHO IS VISITING IN PORTLAND Take Either of These Cars for Veteran of Ball Diamond Likes Oregon Weil Enough to Stay. TAKF 8 vf ' ;IP OF r7 i! - t 1 ' ill f i r . . 1 ram i: BROTHER WANTS RANCHER After Passing Day In Portland Jfoted Pitcher Leaves for Elgin to Visit Relative, Owner of Big Ranch. Young Yonng at 43. "Hello Cy. what are you ' doinfr out here-?" was the greeting hurled by Charley Armbruster at a big, handsome looking, well-dressed man at the corner of Sixth and Washington streets about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and in that manner Denton T. Young, the most noted of all baseball players, was Intro duced to Portland. "Why, If it ain't 'Buster" Tm dippy." replied Young, who arrived in Portland on the Shasta Limited yesterday, and, after registering at the Hotel - Portland, hastened to look up Fielder Jones, 'Wal ter MoCredie or some of the other mem bers of the baseball fraternity, and when he met "Buster," who formerly was his battery partner with the Boston Ameri can League team, he was soon escorted to McCredie's billiard emporium where a reunion was held. While enjoying a talk with McCredie and the other members of the Portland baebaU colony. Young facetiously re marked that he was seriously thinking of giving the ex-manager of the Chicago American League Club a run for the timber baron." honors of Oregon. Oregon Farmer May Be restiny. "I'm on my way to Elgin, Or., wher ever that Is," said Cy with a smile. "You see I have a brother there who thinks Tm about 'all in' as a pitcher and he wants to make a rancher out of me, Just as Fielder's brother seems to have done with him. I don't know what kind of a country he is located in, but I guess it mu6t be a good one, else he would not toe so anxious to have me Inspect some land he has picked out for me to buy. Seriously, fellows, I may really become on Oregon larmer yet. for if this country is good enough for Jones, who comes from Shinglehouse. Pa., it ought to be good enough for E. T. Young, of Olean, 111., and besides the climate here seems to ' agree with ' 'Buster' and old 'Gagle Eye' McCredie. .both of whom seem healthy and pro::, t'rous." Somebody Bpruns the retirement "ru mor" on "Cy," and he very promptly fled, for he doesn't like to discuss his baseball career. Young asserted. how ever, that when he retired he would make no . announcement, but i..mply cut loose and quit the game. When this remarkable player reports to the Cleveland Baseball Club next month, he will round out the twentieth time he has annually reported for duty on the diamond. "Cy" Young is 48 years of age, but looks about 35. He commenced his base ball career with the Canton, Ohio, club of the Tri-State League in the Spring of 18i0. He had not completed that season when he was sent to the Cleveland Club, then in the National League. He re mained with Cleveland until 1898 when he was transferred to St. Louis, and from that club he went to the Boston Ameri can League team in 1901, and remained with the "Red Sox" until last year, when Cleveland regained his services. Twenty years as a professional ball player seems to have agreed with the veteran, for he is a man possessed of a " wonderful physique. Cy Young claims that he is not much heavier now than when he started in 20 years ago. He calmly announces that he abstains from nothing in the line of refresh ments that he desires, but he believes in moderation and his baseball record proves him to be the marvel of the baseball world. Veteran Jfever Too Ola to Play Ball. "One never gets too old to play base ball," says Young. When asked what he thought of Christy MatthewsonTs book, in which he is being made the hero of one of the New York pitcher's literary effusions. Young refused to commit himself, nor would he delv Into his ..past to tell the story of how he struggled at the beginning of his career. "I have not noticed much difference in the game In the 19 years I have played it," said Young, growing remin iscent. We have the same curves and the same delivery used when I started, and the only new method of pitching is the spit ball, and that is fast falling into disuse. I never used the spitter myself, for I find other methods just as effective, and I think it spoils a pitcher in the long run. It ought to be abol ished altogether, but I think it will run out of popufarfcy without legislation." With Billy Alvord. Fielder Jones and Billy Sullivan interested financially in Oregon properties, and the possibility of Cy Young investing here. Oregon seems likely to prove the haven and fortune of- many more of the diamond stars of the country. Fielder Jones says they cant do any better elsewhere, and Cy Young Is inclined to believe him. Young left last night for Elijln, Or., where he will remain several days with his brother, and about March 1 he will go to Hot Springs, Ark., where he will commence training for the open ing of the American League season in April. Tloraniio Would Hare Here. M. G. Montrezza. a real estate dealer, who returned to Portland yesterday from a visit to San Francisco, says Dorando Petrte, the Italian marathon runner who recently defeated Johnny Hayes for the fourth time, wants to race before the Portland people. Ac cording to Montrezza. Poramio would like to meet a two-man relay team in a 12-mlle race. He Is not particular whether the runners are professionals or amateurs, and offers to race any two men, each running six of the 12 miles, and would like to have the bout arranged soon. Dorando Forfeits Kaoe. SAN JOSK. Cal., Feb. 6. riscouragedv by a sucoen heavy downpour of rain, which created a, slippery track. Dorando Pietri, the Italian marathon runner, quit today in the fourth mile of his 12-mile match with Soldier King, of the San Franc tec o Prefrdio. King struggled through the mud for five milss and was awarded the race. The first mile, on a firm track, wen covered in 5:15. King's time for the rive miles was 30:1(5. The race was under the management of T. i McOrath. A few minutes' delay In treating soma cases 'f croup, even the length of time it tak?s to go for a doctor often proves dangerous.

OTHER PLACES in VIEW Battling Xelson Adds Weight, Which His Trainers Gall Good Sign. Wol&ast Makes First Appear ance With Gloves. SAN FRANCISCO, FeT. (Special.) Positive announcement of the scene- of the Nelson-Wolgast championship bout will be made by Promoter Sid Hester to morrow evening, when the fighters or their managers meet for the selection of a referee. Hester will not go further than to eay that he will promote the light, but it is considered a good guess that the promoter still has hopes of landing the San Mateo County permit at a meeting of the Supervisors tomorrow, trailing in that, he will accept one of the other proposals that has been made, and common report has it that he favors Point Richmond. Hester held a conference this forenoon with Deane, the Point Richmond man, who has a permit that can be used, and in the afternoon he talked with Al White, who is in charge of the Oceanview per mit. The San Franciscan would not say that he had reached any conclusion, but It is eaey to see that the Point Richmond proposal strikes him as the best across the bay. Boat Service Promised. Deane declares that a good beat service can be secured for the afternoon of the fight, both by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroads, and that the trip will not take to exceed 40 minutes. It is said also that a 35-cent ferry rate can be secured. San Mateo, with 5-cent fare, would of course be better, but there is no certainty of the Colma plan going through. It is an open secret that the Mission Club believes there is a chance for the Colma permit, but the Supervisors have - V -Saw? '" - s? " i "s ' J eays bo long as Hester has his guard up he is not. worrying. Crowds See Training. At the training camps today there vas plenty of life, -with good crowds on hand to see the lightweights in action. Wol gast made his first appearance with the gloves and put himself through a hard afternoon. He boxed three rounds each with Jeff Perry and. "Hobo" Dougherty and added to that three rounds of bag punching and three of shadow boxing. He will box every day from now on. Wol gast weighs 135 pounds, which is the heaviest he has tipped the scales In some time. There was a packed gymnaoium when Battling Kelson made his appearance at Millett'a. Because of the weather he could not spar in the outdoor arena, but had the gloves on with Iick Wheeler and Joe Myers. There is no questioning that the cham pion looks fit. He has taken on weight in a mysterious manner, as he was at 139H pounds today. This Is taken as a good sign around his camp, as it was feared that he would not have enough extra poundage' to stand a hard siege of training.

Minor Fighters Engaged for Pre liminaries at Colma Nelson . and Welch Are Matched. OMAJIA. Neb.. Feb. 6. (Special.) "I shall bo in San Francisco before mid night and thenI shall Jingle $10,000 of English money in my pocket." With this remark, at 10:30 o'clock this morn ing. James Coffroth. the San Francisco sport promoter, swung onto the Overland train on the Union Pacific that stood pointing toward the West. The last day of January Coffroth was at a little wine supper in London and the question of making quick time be tween there and San Francisco came up. Eugene Corri, of the National Sporting Club, remarked that letters came through in 10 days. Boast Leads to Bet. "I can ' make the trip in eight," responded Coffroth. "But you 2000 you can't." came back Corri, as he reached for his check-book. "Take you," quirkly remarked Coffroth. That settled it. and the following morning" Coffroth started and caught his boat at Liverpool, making good time into New York and hustling right on West, he stopped over part of a day in Chicago and reached here this morning. But he was delayed by his train having to wait two and one-half hours for a connection coming off the Milwaukee. Train One Hour Late. Later, at Sidney, the train was one hour late, and Union Pacific officials say that this will be mader up this side of Ogden and that Coffroth will reach San FranciBco early Tuesday night. Coffroth says the Jeffries-Johnson fight will be pulled off in San Francisco,", but he refuses to pick the winner. "When in England and since reaching this side he has matched Bailing Nelson and Freddie Welch for a date early in April and Sam Langford and Stanley Ketchel and Jim Driscoll and Abe Attell for July 2 as preliminaries to the big mill. All the bouts will be at Colma. COFFROTH BETS ON LOCATION San Franciisco to Be Scene of Jeff Johnson Go, He Says. CHICAGO. Feb. 6. (Special.) "Put a. bet on San Francisco as the real scene of the Jeffries-Johnson battle for the heavyweight championship. The big boys will meet either within the city limits or in one of the near-by towns; that's a certainty. Whether I have any interest in the match will be made public within a few days. But Salt Lake City or any part of Utah never had a look-in as the possible battleground." Foxy Jim Coffroth. dean of American fight promoters, today summed up the present controversy between Messrs. Qleason and Rickard in the foregoing vein of chatter between heats in his record-seeking dash from Liverpool to the Golden State. At a noonday feast for sporting nota bles. Coffroth intimated that J20.000, said to have been offered Rickard to stage the bout in Salt Lake City, was not a con tribution of Utah business men. Accord ing to James J., this chunk of coin was raised in Nevada." When pressed regard ing his own dealings with the contest. Coffroth coyly evaded making a flat footed assertion, confining himself to the mere admission that "he might have a hand in the pie," in the near future. "California is the only state In the Union where the big men can get together in a finish fight without fear of inter ference from the authorities," said Coff roth. . San Franciscan Loses Fight. . MARSH FI ELD, Or, Feb. 6. (Special.) At the prize fight last night, Jess Day, of Coos Bay, defeated Joe Mc Guren, of San Francisco, in the fourth round. They were matched for 20 rounds.
