' LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 16. (Spe cial.) Catcher Billy Sullivan, of the "White Sox, was operated upon again to day by Dr. Sherrard and associates, and there Is now danger, according to some of his close friends, that he will have to give up his left foot to save his life. The leg is infected to the knee. "The Infection was so serious today that we had to take him to the hospital again and perform further operations." said the surgeon tonight. "These operations were for the purpose of opening up the drain age still more. It is the most virulent form of blood poisoning there is known, and requires very extensive drainage. "While his general physical condition Is excellent, I have never seen a worse case of blood poison infection. Today It was necessary to open the drainage already established and make several new drains. He Is resting comfortably, but it will be a long time before he is able to use that foot. "There is a remote possibility that he will lose the foot," Dr. Sherrard con tinued, guardedly, "but at present we are not considering that. Right now, I should say, there Is no such danger, but there is a possibility." GAJRSOX TO STICK WITH CTJBS Ex-ortlander Making Good With Chicago National Boys. NEW ORLEANS, March 16. (Special.)

J. PETRA1N. SAN JOSE. Cal., March 16. (Special.) McCredie and his 1910 ball-tossers are now sojourning In the Garden City for a series of four games with the San Jose team of AUTOMOBILE DRIVER WHO BROKE TWO WORLD'S RECORDS YESTERDAY. r f 3 f 'XJ -A 7? .m A. .iiiii.-i.hi,- i WW!" If""""""! w- . - yL.9 V BARNEY OLDFIELD IN HIS CAR. T racing season at Emeryville, which was to end on April 7, will be extended 20 days and probably longer. FANDOM AT RANDOM BILLT SULLIVAN, the popular catcher of the Chicago White Sox, stepped on a rusty nail at Los Angeles, and was unable to play with the No. 2 Sox against Portland. His wife, an experienced nurse. Is now with him. Complications are feared. "Dutch" Armbruster spent a busy two days with his old teammates on the White Sox club during the time the Port land and Chicago clubs were together, for "Doc" White, Freddie Parent, Lee Tannehill and Eddie Hahn are old tilli cums of "Buster's," and they buzzed some for hours at a time. Billy Speas seems faster than ever this season, and has reported In excellent health. He acts like a different man from last season, and promises to prove one of the best hitters on the Coast. If he gets off to a good start, look out for him, for he has always been a good hitter until last season. "Pretzel" Netzel. the hard-hitting young ster. Is also something of a billiard sharp, and the last night the team was In Santa Maria, he defeated Joe McDonald, the "Jake" Schaefer of Santa Barbara County, at 14.2 balk line billiards. Netzel scored 250 to McDonald's 198. McDonald has challenged him to a return match to be played in Portland next Summer. William J. Steen, one of the new pitch ers, who Is a certainty as one of the regular staff, is a twirler of considerable ability, and he is not likely to remain in a minor league much longer. He is a tall, well-built, fine-looking young fel low, and knows how to use his thinking apparatus. "Doc" Cornell, who Is to handle Jaffies J. Jeffries for his coming battle with Jack Johnson, was looked upon as a hero by some of the sports of Santa Maria, for Jeffries is an Idol at that place, and anyone who is closely allied to the big champion is in for excessive adulation while in that town. a Joe McDonald, Charley Barnhart, Billy Miles and Fred Lewis, of Santa Maria, made a pool of $1000 which they bet at e"ven money with a San Francisco oil baron that Portland would finish second or better in the Pacific Coast League this season. The Portland players would like to make some bets like that themselves, and would do so If. it were not against the rules of the league for players to make wagers on the results of the games. All of the players, are confident that they are with a winning club, and confidence is half the battle. After the games with the White Sox, Lee Tannehill congratulated McCredie on the strength of his club, and wished Mac all kinds of luck. The two are old pals, having played together over 10 years ago, and Tannehill thinks the Portland team has a fine chance to win out this year. Secretary Fredericks, of the Chicago club, is very much taken with the action of Kratzberg and Ryan, McCredle's giant pitchers, and he will probably whisper something in the ear of Charles A. Comis key before the season progresses many weeks. Billy Speas has been playing basket ball all Winter and is in fine shape for the diamond. He worked out nicely and did not complain of soreness at all after the strenuous exercise. Buddy Ryan is another member of MeCredie's squad who gives promise of having a good season. Buddy is hit ting and fielding like a demon in the games thus far played, and is also more cheerful than usual. The suc cess of his brother may have something to do with. Buddy's renewed energy. the California State League, which is about to start on Its first year under the wing of the National Association of Pro fessional Baseball Leagues, and these games are expected to give the tall Port land manager a good line on his pitching staff, which now numbers several players In excess of th,e regulation number to be carried during the season. AH of McCredle's new twlrlers have shown up splendidly, for out of the dozen he had at the Santa Maria camp, but two disappointed him to such an extent that they were let out almost Immedi ately. They were Bert Garber and Phil Lezle. Since leaving Santa Maria, which was the most ldekl training spot McCredie ever selected, the manager has conferred daily with Armbruster and Casey about the different pitchers remaining with the club. Casey declares he has picked the staff, and he and Armbruster have writ ten the names of seven pitchers on slips of paper, each has sealed his selections, and placed them in the hands of the writer, and when the season opens, the man coming closest to the pitchers then held will win the bet. Casey Gives Out Opinion. Casey's selections are: Garrett, Guyn, Steen, Kratzberg, Dan Ryan, Seaton and Hartman, while Armbruster refuses to al low his selections to be known until after the final decision is made by McCredie. McCredie says he will hold eight pitchers for the first month of the season, and intimated that the men named by Casey with the addition of-Eugene Krapp would form the staff. However. Max Hall has shown himself of late, and McCreedie may eventually decide to hold him. If he were more gingery and inclined to hustle he could cinch a Job easily, for he is a big. husky lad, and McCredie is inclined to favor big pitchers. Krapp Is much more active and energetic, than the boy from Springfield, and may beat him out for the place. The more one looks at MeCredie's ag gregation the more impressed he becomes with its possible prowess. With an infield which is practically a stonewall, and an outfield second to none on the Cogst, the Portland team Is well fortified. .Billy Rapps, the lanky, dark complexloned first baseman, will win the hearts of the Port land fans from the very start. He is chain lightning. .William Herman Rapps Is the new first Backer's full name, and he says he- never landed among a finer bunch of fellows than he has found on MeCredie's Portland team. "Mac, old scout," said Rapps to Mc Credie the other day, "you never did any one a greater favor in your life than when you put that over on Tebeau and brought me to this bunch, and I'm telling you right now, that unless I break a leg or something, you won't regret it. I did not see much of Portland coming through there, but I guess It's the candy town from what' the boys tell me, and I think I can make good with the patrons up there. Anyhow, I'll do the best I can." Rapps Known as "Roaring Bill."- In the Texas League, Western and American Associations Rapps is known as "Roaring Bill," and the other day a fan from Wichita was at the game and shouted "There's Roaring Bill," which was the first introduction the Portland bunch had to Rapps' nickname. He lives the part of "Roaring Bill" on the ball field, and would probably have received the 'title as soon as- he played" his first game, for he seems to have more ginger than any of the rest of the players, and some of them are "some noisy" them selves. Ivan Olson is the speedy fielder he al ways was, and in his workouts at third base he has shown dash and ginger which means considerable to the success of the Portland team. Olson is ambitious, and now that McCredie has put It up to him to show his speed, the clever lnfielder is determined to make good enough to get the major league clubs on his trail. Being a young and active player he stands an excellent chance to accom plish his ambition this season, for good infielders are In demand among the big brush clubs, and it will be Olson's own fault if he don't land a berth up above this year. McCredie says that he will give Ollle a chance by accepting any reasonable offer a major league club makes for the player, which means that Olson will advance after this season, for he has the ability.

In his 12th he took the lead with a run of 32. From the 12th inning on he gradually increased his lead and when the' 22d was ended he was 131 points ahead. Sutton apparently lost his stroke and judgment of distance, rnlssing several easy draw shots and one-cushion caroms. Hoppe's game, on the other hand, im proved as the game went on. After the 12th Inning the game was a one-sided contest, Sutton being unable to score In double figures with the excep tloln of his 19th, 20th and 23d innings. When Hoppe came up for his 27th in ning he needed 66 to go out. He made 44 and left all three balls lined up against the end rail, apparently an Impossible shot.

After making IS in the 29th he missed an easy one-cushion carom.
