TValter McCredle. rranaicer of the Portland baseball club of the Pacific Coast l-eacue. returned yesterday from California. where be arranged a SprtnK training achedule. and heard favorable r.e's from tlie Cleveland Americans relative to the players he needs to toiter nn the holes In his team. MrCrortle brinies the newa that the I.o Aoa-ele aronnds have been Im proved wonderfully, and also says that he Is quite etl sattsfled with the Portland team for the comlnir rare. Acf-ordlnn to McCredle. Cleveland has turned over Roicer Pecklnpaugh. the lnflelder, and Catcher Bradley, as well as three pitchers, to the Portland team. Ktrr.er Koestner. the former Los Ane Jes twtrler. will likely be one of these tosaers. while Doane. an Eastern col lege "phenom." will probably be the other, though the transfer of the latter Is supposed to be held up by the New York American League team, which re fused to waive on this player. The name of the third pitcher McCredle says he la not at liberty to announce until he snail have heard more definite news from Cleveland. Shrchaa May Re Haired. Tiere Is some question as to whether MoCredle will be able to use Tommy S'leehan at third base this season, for Tommy Is under the ban of organised taehail through haviny Jumped a con tract, and. If the ruling- recently made by Garry Herrmann Is enforced In Shee hans esse, he cannot play with Port land or any other organized club for three years. McCredle says that If he Is de prived of Sheehan'a services, he will plsy William K. Rodgers. the speedy youns; player drafted from the Water bury Club of the Connecticut League, at third base. Secretary Farrell. of the National As .k latlon of Professional Baseball leagues, has notified McCredle that Outfielder Chadbourne haa been award ed to Portland. According to Spalding's Uutde. Chadbourne played 110 games with Indianapolis In the American As sociation last year and batted an av erage of .:2. He stole li bases and fielded an average of .. Rodgers Is credited with having led the Connecti cut League In stolen bases, register ing 3 pilfers In 124 games, and batted a percentage of .SS3. He made 15 doubles, four triples and three home runs during the season In that league. These two players ought to help Port land considerably.. Catcher Bradley, who Is coming from Cleveland, was drafted by that club from the Johnston team of the Tri State League, and batted .ISJ In 4 rimes In that circuit last year. Brad ley Is credited with a fielding record of T. which Is considered a fine av erage for a catcher. Training: Season Arranged. McCredle also announced that he would train his Portland team for four weeks at Santa Maria, and that he had arranged for three games with the Bos ton Hed Box of the American League. Two of these games with the big leaguers will be played at Santa Maria, and the other either at San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara. McCredie plans to take his Beavers to Los Angeles for a game with come team near that city on Sunday. March It. This game will ni"st likely be played at Redondo or Saa Pedro, though the Portland man ager has not yet decided upon that Vo'nt. He will complete arrangements after his arrival at Santa Maria. All of the Portland players will be required to report at Santa Maria on Saturday. February -5. and any delays not absolutely necessary are likely to result In fines, for dilatory tactics such as occurred last Spring are not to be brooked by McCredle this year. "I am satisfied that I will have a team that will be In the running .this season." said McCredle last night. "At San Fran cisco. I was told thst I had landed a prixe In Fred Arlett. the young pitcher I esned lat Fall, and aln that Nick Wll-in"-e haa secured a coming star In a pitcher ramed Madden. At Los Angeles. I wax told the ram thing about Pitcher Sanchcs. who Is rated as a hummer In that locality. 1 altx saw Kmer Koestner. who says he mould like to play on the Vat. and I think he will be one of 11-e three pitchers I am to get from Cleve land. toane will probably be another, and he Is the star of the bunch. Santa Maria Grows. 'Santa Maria hae grown considerably sin'- we were there last March, and the clubhouse and ball grounds have been Im proved considerably. The hotel accom modations have also been enlarged and I am well oattsfled to have the boys work out there again. I shall have plenty of practice gamra, for there Is a Tour club league now playing baseball In that vtein l:y. and Billy Miles la arranging a schedule of gamea for me for the four Saturday's snd Sundays we will spend at Brinta Maria. I alio expect to get a few gsmee) with San Lnls Obispo aud Santa Rirbara. exclusive of th three gamea I have scheduled with the Boston Ameri ca n.. 'Hr.ry Berry has certainly made sme Improvements In ills Los -Angeles park." continued McCredle. "When he sveured t've extenesnn of Ms leas on the Chutes Park, he lengthened hla right field fully ion feet bv moving the feme back. II s grandstand haa been Imwt entirely re constructed and opera chairs Installed for eata. He also has provided 37 boxes and the park Is the most up-to-date on the (Vast.

McVredle added that he has been denied the services of W alter Kuhn. the Fresno catcher for the reason that he in an Ineligible player, but said that he was satiated now that Bradley had been tumed over to hlra by Cleveland. Mc Credle also aald that Nick Williams was busr signing up playen for the North western team, and that he expected the blonde to announce his complete lineup In the near future.

PRIVATE COURTNEY VICTOR lie Terminates Match Scheduled for Tcq Rounds In 1 Minute, 38 Sec onds Portland Man Downed In Go With Army Man, VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash., Jan. IS. (Special.) In the post gymna sium, before a large crowd of soldiers, officers, and civilians, four sparring con tests were held last night. In what was to have been a ten-round go between Private Courtney, of C Com pany, and Private Purnell, K Company, First Infantry, at 1(3 pounds, Courtney knocked out his opponent In one minute and 38 seconds. Purnell, who was out classed, was counted out and tried to rise, but he fell back on the mat. He made a second attempt to get up, but fell over and had to be carried to hie) cor ner, where he soon revived. He waa not Injured. Purnell is much the taller and larger man, but Courtney was quicker and better trained. Private Jennings, of O Company, First Infantry, stopped Kid Dale, of Portland, at the end of the second round of a four round gov Jennings was clearly In a class above Dale. They fought at 146 pounds. One of the most Interesting contests was the four-round mill between Private Anthony, of B Battery. Second Field Ar tillery, and Private First-Class Clarke, of the Hospital Corps, at 155 pounds. Although neither had been in the ring before, and Anthony was well trained and waa several years Clarke's) senior, Clarke withstood an enormous amount of punishment, and gave much promise of being a "comer" with more training. He -had little training for the bout. The four rounds were fast and Interesting. Bud Anderson and bl sparring partner, put on a fast four-round sparring exhibit, which was cheered and applauded. - Captain Aloe was referee and Lieuten ant Mitchell was timekeeper. AH athletic events are given under the direction of Captain Mathew C. Reasoner, of the Hospital Corps. Superstitious Negro Dumped in Cemetery. Ob Way to Call oa Friend, He Is Terrified Upon AUichtlng From Htreetcar to Find Himself With tke Dead. A SUPERSTITIOUS negro with a rab bit's foot for a watch charm, and bearing the illustrious name of George Washington, not knowing-the city, de sired to go to Twenty-third and Stark streets to visit a friend whose address he had. He boarded a Mount Tabor car snd when the conductor yelled. "Twenty third." he shuffled out of the car Into the darkness. He looked around and found hlmeelf standing on a wooden platform, and all around were llttlf whito spots that slowly grew taller ns his eyes began to accustom themselves to the dim light. With a shriek of horror, he found he was In a cemetery and started to run north. The sleet was falling on the leaves, making a hissing, grinding sound, a dog gave a mournful, doleful howl, and a bell In the distance rang out on the troubled night air.' Looking up past a lone fir tree, Wash ington saw biasing ZOO feet in the s.ir an Immense flaming cross of tremendous proportions. It was the cross on the new St. Frsncls Church. George Washington thought the end of the world had come. Just a few minutes before he had been In a gaily ' lighted city, but now he was some place that looked like the throne of God. With a cry of terror, he bounded through the trees and tombstones snd In a minute waa standing along the walls ten feet high. He ciambored down a plank and rushed down the street.

SEVERAL GET HARD FALLS Victors' Playing for International Clmmpionshlp Is Superior -Some Trick Plays Are Seen by Spectators. ' Their uniforms resembling bathing suits more than football armor, 22 young Eng lish and Scotch football players braved a snow-covered and Ice-covered gridiron while spectators shivered along the side lines yesterday afternoon at the Catholic Young Men's Club Athletic Park, the Scotch representatives winning the Port land International soccer championship for the fifth consecutive time by four goals to one. It was a Scotch victory In every way, and It was apparent from the start of the game that the English had no chance of winning. Notwithstanding the slipperlness of the field, the game was fast, spectacular and hard-fought. The game was also free from roughness that has usually charac terized the international battle. A few hard falls were taken but none of the men received serious injury.

FOWL RETURN TO COAST Hunters Report Best Week In Vicin ity of Astoria Azmen Break 'Miles' of Ice In Vain Ef forts to Decoy Birds. Frozen-over lakes, small bags and an all around unsuspicious ending of the 1S10-11 duck-shooting- season marked yes terday's shoot, the last until next Fall. Although most of the duck hunters did not expect a good day's shoot, from habit alone many of them made the cold trip to their preserves early yes terday. Some went solely for the pur pose of closing their places for the season. It was a frozen-looking crowd that arrived on board the hunting boat last night, while the Vancouver car and As toria & Columbia River Railroad brought in their quotas of gunners. However, not all returned with empty bags. In places along the Lower Columbia and Willamette sloughs, where the water was too swift to ba frozen, there were plenty of, birds to be had, some of the sportsmen bringing back bags well to ward the limit. Fowl Driven Inland. A terrific storm ' off the Oregon and Washington Coast early last week drove thousands of ducks and other wild water fowl Inland, and for several days the shooting among the preserves was the best had during the whole season Just ended. However, abatement of the storm and the freezing of the small lakes gave the feathered creatures incentive to re turn to the Coast, where plenty of water and more feed Is to be had than along the river. Several sportsmen shooting from blinds on Columbia and Oregon sloughs reported bags of 50 birds on last Thursday and Friday. Reports from the vicinity of Astoria pronounced the shooting good there yes terday, particularly In the vicinity of Clatskanle, Maegers. Westport and Rai nier, where the marshes are wider and where wild fowl have better opportunity for feeding than farther up the river. Seaside sportsmen have had a very good season, they say one of the best in years, the scarcity of feed on the upper river sending the birds into the lakes nearer the ocean. Axes were brought into play yesterday by the gunners and the Ice was broken in hope of enticing the gun-shy birds within range of a parting shot. Gen erally these tactics proved . unsuccessful. Although some of the men reported hav ing chopped "miles- of ice up Into small chunks, they reported not having had shooting enough to keep them warm. Season Good on Average. Recounting their experiences In the 1510-11 season. Portland duck hunters re port a season of average success. The shooting on several lakes and from many blinds waa not uniform. It was the sur mise of several of the well-informed hunters that whenever a big storm came up off the ocean side of the two North west states the shooting on the river was good, and they accordingly went to their blinds and had good luck. However, these storms were not numerous and the days of good bags correspondingly few. As has proved the case In the past few years the blinds along Deer Island, Bachelor Island and Sauvle's Island pro duced the best bags this season, although many preserves along Willamette. Co iumbla and Oregon sloughs also yielded well at intervals. ST.- YVES DEFEATS SVA.VBERG French L,ong-Distance Runner Is Victor In 15-Mile Contest. BALTIMORE.
