SOME GOOD NEWS
i j
SHEEHAN MAY BE BARRED
ItorUrrs, From Connecticut Ingoe,
AVI11 Probably Be Seen at Third
Sack, If Tonuiu" Is Elimi
nated From Organized nail.
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

Rirbara. exclusive of th three gamea I
have scheduled with the Boston Ameri

'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

the park Is the most up-to-date on the
(Vast. The diamond on the Los Angeles
grounds has been sodded, and will here
after be a grass Infield, the came as ours.
The new park is a credit to Loa An
geles." 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.

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.

BAR DREDGEJS APPROVED
Repair of North Jetty in Marslifield
Harbor Also Recommended.
MAESHFIELD, Or., Jan. 15. (Spe
cial.) The Chamber of ' Commerce has
adopted a resolution accepting and ap
proving the bar dredge project recom
mended by the Government engineers,
but also urging that the north Jetty at
the harbor entrance be repaired. It is
believed by those who are familiar with
the bar that If the Jetty Is repaired It
will prevent the shoaling of sand on the
bar.
The Port Commission of Coos Bay has
adopted a project for cutting a channel
800 feet wide and 26 feet deep from the
C. A. Smith mill at the head of the bay
to the sea. It Is likely that when this
work Is completed the Government bar
work will havebeen finished.

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

DUCK
ENDS
Closing Day's Shooting Inaus
picious as Whole.
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
