CLEVELAND TO GIVE TRIO Local Manager After Bert Wilkin son, of St. Mary's College Team Neal Ball May Hold Second Base Shortstop Sought. Walter McCredie does not intend to bother about baseball activities until after January 1. However, he announces he has lines out for a number of clever players and says some of the deals may be closed before New Tears. McCredie Is expecting three players from the Cleveland American League team, and may get more. All of the big leaguers excepting Neal Hall will be released to tiie Portland Northwestern League Club, for the recenUy-enacted waiver rule In the Pacific Coast League would provent the transfer of these play ers to the Northwestern club, and Mc Credie may need some of them for that team. Playera from the Northwestern team can be sent to the Pacific Coast League, which Is rated a class higher in the league classifications. McCredie is fond of Bert Wilkinson, the clever player who was with the St. Vury's College team last season. The Portland manager has commissioned Nick Williams, who Is to handle the Northwestern team, to sign Wilkinson if possible. Wilkinson Is an lntielder of promise, and McCredie bellees he is better than Kddie Mensor or ' Young Peters. San Jose lads McCredie has In Ine. McCredie evidently intends to use Neal Kali at second base for the Pacific Coast league team, as Casey will likely be transferred to the Northwestern club again. The local manager has made no announcement to that effect, but saya he has received waivers on Cnsey by the other Pacific Coast clubs. This may In dicate that McCredie alms to strengthen the Northwestern League team from 1.1s Pacific Coast leun. Neal Ball, of Cleve land, gives him a first-class second base man for the Beavers. The only Infield position on the Pa cific Coast team not yet filled Is that of shortstop. That position will probably be filled by Roger Pecklnpnugh unless he beats Ivan Olson out In the Spring. In that event Olson would probably be returned tc Portland. Clson Is still In Portland and expresses confidence In his ability to mik( good with Cleveland. Juniors to Meet Socond Llncolns. ' The Junior and second teams of the Lincoln High School will meet on Multnomah Field this afternoon at S o clo. k In a football match. There Is as much rivalry between these teams as there was between Lincoln and Washington. The teams have met be fore this year, the game today being the result of a dlscuss'on of the merits of the two teams In the last game. Several of the Lincoln players will play for the Juniors. Captain McCabe believes he has a hustling second team. It scored on the first team many times last season In scrimmage work. Soccer Tennis Play Sat unity. Practice is being indulged In dally by the Nationals and the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club soccer football teams for their match Saturday afternoon at the Catholic Young Men s Athletic Club park, Williams avenue and Morris street. The Nationals have the undisputed su premacy of the city this year in soccer. and the only hope of Multnomah seems to be in holding the score down as low 'as possible. The game will not be a one sided affair by any means. The Nation als defeated Multnomah in their meeting Thanksgiving day S to 1. 13-Cushlon Record Broken. NEW YORK. Dec. 7.

Claytost Patterson, all-star Inter- scholastic League halfback, yesterday was elected captain of the Lincoln High School football team for next year. He waa chosen at the final foot ball meeting of the year and the se lection ia popular among; players and students. Patterson was the best halfback In the Academic League last season and one of the most brilliant players In the league. He ran with the ball well, running low with a peculiar crouch, making him hard to tackle. His de fensive m-ork was equal to that of other plaera ail season and his punting at times equaled that of hla playing mate. Jack Pay. the star punter of the league.
