Pacific Coast League fan may again
have the opportunity to heap praise
and farors (or perhaps It may be brick
bat) upon the head of one Perle Casey,
veteran Inflelder of the Portland Coast
and Northwestern League clubs. Not
that Perle expect to hold down the

foregoing, an umpire berth under
President Al Ilium.
Perle Isn't saving much of his 1913
plana, but President McCredie. of the
Portland association, has written Raum
a most hearty Indorsement, and there
Is every reason to believe that Casey
will be found basking behind the
meahes of an arbiter's mask when play
begins next Spring. The Tacoma club,
with which t'asey finished last Fall.
claims to hold a reserve on his serv
ice, but Perle says he Is a free scent.

FTJSR rivalling the success of Dan
ny Shua, the Portland lad who
made good In baseball, the perform.
ances of his cousin, Denny, are
brought to mind.
Denny Shea Is a native of San Fran
cisco, where as Danny first saw tha
light in Portland, and both of them
figured In the average of the North
western League in 1902. Denny graced
a Portland uniform, and Danny sported
the stripes of th Tacoma Tigers, but
came to tha Portland club the follow
ing year.
When Denny Shea caught his first
gams for Portland In 102, Sammy Vlg-
neux and other members of tha club
picked him as big league timber, for
he had the most accurate throwing arm
of any catcher who had, up to that
time, visited this city. Denny could
wing the ball to second base so ac
curately and ma easily that ha was
highly touted all over the circuit, but
he lacked one essential quality which
prevented mm rrom climbing higher.
and that was the ability to think as
quickly ss he could act.
The result of his lack of head work
was that he was allowed to drift else
where the following year, and he
hooked up with Jack Orim's Ill-fated
Portland Pacific National Leas-uers.
which club was eventually transferred
to Salt Lake City. Shea went to Salt
Lake with the team and remained there
lor several seasons afterwards. Later
ne drifted to the South Atlantic League,
whr he was heralded as a star, and
really did fin work in that circuit.
hi arm gave out on him about two
year ago and he I now said to be In

M'FARLAND IS BEST. MAN
Critics Assert Packey Is Only Logical
Candidate to Fight Champion
for Title Good Matches
Are in Store.
BT PACT. J. FEELT.
Fight fans of Los Angeles endeavored
to have "Uncle Tom" McCarey hold
elimination tournament to decide Just
who haa the right to quarrel with Ad
Wolgast for the lightweight title when
ttte little Michigan demon recovers from
the effects of his recent operation. While
always willing to oblige, the dean of
Southern California fight promoters se
his foot down on the scheme, declaring
that the lightweight situation Is In sue
a muddled condition that an attempt to
I eliminate the "four-flushers" could only
result in financial disaster.
With Wolgast apparently out of the
game for an Indefinite period, every
lightweight mho ever fought a second
cousin of a champion is clamoring to
be title-holder pro tern. If all claim
put forth were given consideration the
promoter managing such an elimination
contest as mentioned would be a ti
candidate for the lunacy commission be
fore it would be well started.
'Packey McFarland has the edge on
the lightweights who are active
present, and he would have an equal
chance with Wolgast,' said J. J. mar
ker, an enthusiastic fight fan, while
discussing the crop of lightweights yes
terday.
'This talk of holding an elimination
tournament Is ridiculous, he contin
ued. "In the first place, anyone who
has seen the men In action knows that
McFarland looks like a thoroughbred

cago boy is the only logical opponent
for Wolgast. providing the ' liacav
gets back In the game.
When a rourtn-rater line wnuo
Ritchie can break even with Freddy
Welsh over a 20-round course, you have
to future the latter out of it, so far as
championship ' possibilities are con
cerned. Any San Franciscan knows
what Ritchie can do. He was not even
considered a good second-rater and he
had opportunities galore to show nis
caliber.
"Knockout Brown has shown himself
to be in a class with 'One-Round Ho
sts n. That lets him out, Xor Hogan
ranks along with Frank le Burns, and
the Oakland lad long since has been
eliminated as a possibility for the cham-
nlonshln. Owen Moran, formerly
leading light of the middle, apparently
has traveled the oblivion route Three
or four years ago the Englishman was
considered a contender, but the gay life
did for him.
While waiting for Wolgast to come
back, if they must have an elimination
tournament, let McFarland be the pnn
cipal figure. They could arrange for
him to take on a couple of those clam
oring for recognition each night. The
croD soon would be exhausted and Mc
Farland still would be considered tne
best In the bunch."
Considerable speculation has been In
dulged in as to whether "Dode" Brink
er will be allowed to play with the
Seattle Club football team when It
meets the Multnomah Club, for Brlnker
Is a professional baseball player. How
ever, an Amateur Athletic Union ruling
nermlts the Portland men to piay
against the professionals without Jeop
ardlzing their amateur standing. Nor
is Brlnker the only professional tnat
will be In the Seattle line-up. Schlld-
mlller, who coached the Oregon Aggies
last year: Max Eakln.i. assistant coacn
at Washington, and Borleske, former
Whitman star halfback, now coacn or
the Broadway High, of Seattle, will
play. The special dispensation was
granted owing to the fact that Seattle
had no football team until the Seattle
Club band was organised about three
weeks ago. The men organized simply
to play the Multnomah Club two games,
one In Seattle Christmas and the other
at Portland New Year's day. Brlnker
starred In the outfield for Vancouver,
Northwestern League, last year.
San Francisco fight fans seem to be
In line for a number of good matches
during 1912; Jimmy Coffroth. tddle
Oraney and Harry Foley are the men
who will control the fight game in tne
Bay City next year. The trio Is the
most competent San Francisco has had
In a number of years. Since 1908 It has
been the rule to give the permits to ad
ministration favorites, regardless of
their knowledge of fisticuffs or tneir
ability to handle matches.
Foley coached a number of men who
gained prominence In the prlserlng. In
fact, he was responsible for the devel-'
opment of a great number of the "four
rounders" in San Francisco. Mention
of Foley brought the following story
from Parker:
"Before the 'quake there was an in
tense rivalry between the Reliance and
Olympic Amateur Athletic Clubs. Both
wen producing a number of good boys.
Foley was coaching the Reliance bunch.
One time the Olympic Club had a rat
tling good lightweight. He was kept

'Nothing to IV replied narry

' 'Am I doing all rlghtr he chirped

"During the third round one oi nis

Otherwise he was doing 'fine.'
He's hitting pretty hard, and I reel

ment at the end of that inning.
" Oh. you got him outclassed so far
there Isn't any contest to it,' said Foley,
hoping to cheer him np. 'You can
knock him out this round, but if you

anyway. You're winning easily; now

"Well, I guess I'll quit while I'm

CRITIC CRANE TO BE SEEN
Portland Lad Will Enact Role In
Glee Club Concert.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Dec. 17. (Special.) The men of the
University of Oregon Glee Club, who
returned from their tour of the towns
of Southern Oregon today, were much
pleased to learn that Oelbert Stannard,
of Portland, a graduate of Washington
High School and a "stuntster" on the
club, who was detained by sickness
from making the trip south, would be
able to appear in the Portland concert
at the Hellig next Wednesday evening.
Stannard's main role in the programme
is as R. T. Crane, the wealthy editor of
the Valve World, who recently assailed
the value of the American college.
The skit. In which Stannnard takes
the part of R. T. Crane, represents the
eminent editor on a visit to the Uni
versity of Oregon. Raphael Gelsler, a
senior registered from Portland, takes
the part of Professor Cassius Leonardo
Bovine, who holds the chair of thera
peutics. At first the learned professor,
who is represented as being a great
crank, makes a hit with Mr. Crane, but
later loses out to the rough-housing
college lads, who persuade him to for
get his hostile views toward colleges
as far as the University of Oregon is
concerned.
The act was written by Dean Collins,
a graduate of class '10, and Melvln Og
den, director of the club. It Is granted
by Eugene critics as being the cleverest
skit the Glee Club has ever presented.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17. It has dawned
on Chicago that the Immense invest

well-heated and well-ventilated school
build ifigs may be utilized to a far
greater extent for the public welfare.
Chicago has now joined with eager
ness the widespread movement to ex
tend the social uses of the public
schools. Nine of them will be opened
at least two evenings a week as "so
cial centers."
The schools will be in active compe
tition with the nelghborhod dance, the
five-cent theater and the cheap pool
rooms.
Games, dancing, dramatics, gymnas
tics and pictures will be arranged
under the direction of the principal, of
the school and the representatives of
the Juvenile Protective League.

Fanning Escheles' players and allow
ing but eight scattered hits, Morton
broke the tie in the Portland Indoor
Baseball League yesterday at the
Armory and sent his teammates, the
Honeyman boys, into the lead. The
game's soore was to S for Honeyman.
Morton's twirling was the feature of
the game. He was in rare form and
his control was almost perfect. The
only ones who succeeded in solving his
mysteries to any extent were Turc, Lo
dell and Brown.
The league leaders fielded fine and
their batting was consistent. Score:

The Marshall-Wells aggregation of
Indoor baseball stars shot a little fur
ther into the cellar yesterday, when
the Archer-Wiggins team nosed them
out In a 4-to-3 game. The losers tried
hard to rally In the ninth after two
men were down but did not succeed.
Both McKenzie and Dunlop twirled
good ball, the latter fanning 14 men.
He held his opponents to seven bin
gles, while the victors connected safely
with McKenzie's offerings nine times.
Nelson and Hedrick proved the stars
at the bat. Their hitting was largely
responsible for the Archer-Wiggins'
victory. Williams did the heavy stick
work for Marshall-Wells. Score:
