LOS ANGKL.ES. Dec. SI. (Special.)
Art Krueger in the Vernon outfield
next season?
granger things than this have hap
pened in baseball and this Is one that
may come to pass unless the Portland
people decide to hold onto the olassy
Teuton.
"Happy" Hogan today declared that
he had declined to waive on Krueger
and this will place the kibnh on Mc
Credle's proposal to send Krueger to
Mobile. Also, the L.os Angeles club re
fused to waive on Krueger. Hogan ts
so confident that he will land Krueger
If Portland decides to let loose of him
that he already has a neatly penned
check for $00. the waiver price la this
particular circuit.
Krueger ts regarded as a desirable
piece of baseball property and Mc
Credie may decide after thinking It
over to carry his next season. While
probably not the pick of the Coast
League outfielders last season, Krueger
ranked up among the leaders and was
regarded as one of the steadiest.
Hogan said today Krueger was some
what similar to Daley in his work. In
that he is quick to judge a fly ball
and has the faculty of making them
look easy. He fielded .963 last season
and exercised the btugle rod for a
mark of .S79. leading the league In
two-sackers with a total of 57.
"Should 1 land Krueger, he will be
given a chance to win a regular berth
in the outfield," said Hogan. "He will
not crowd any of my present outfield
ers off the payroll, as I figure on car
rying an extra man In the outer gar
den next season. I regard Krueger
as a high-class player and desire him
particularly because of his effective
ness acrainvt left-hnnders. At the same
time. 1 have another equally good man
In view- ami will land him in the event
that I cannot get Krueger by the
waiver route.

Harry Wolverton Is not figuring on
trading Hal Chase, "despite dispatches
from New Tork to that effect a few
days ago.- The' new. boas of the New
York Kilties counts Chase the great
est first sacker in. the business and
says he does not expect any trouble
with the former manager. Wolverton
left New York for Oakland on Satur
day, but before departing give voice
to the following:
"I might make one or two minor
trades before the Spring trslnlng trip,
but I am angling for none but the very
best men. Under no circumstances will
I part with Hal Chase. He is the
greatest Inflelder of all time. Such
players tiappen along only once In a
lifetime, and Chase I consider one of
the greatest assets, of the profession.
Chsse and I are very good friends. I
feel sure that he will play his very
best, for he Is Indeed glad to be free
from the managerial burdens. Around
Hal I purpose to build up a strong
Infield. Earl Gardner I know to be
a wonderful second baseman. X saw
him perform In the Eastern League
two years ago. I know nothing of
Dolan. but everyone tells me he proved
a wonder for - New York at tbe close
of the past season. '
"Birdie Cree is one of the best out
fielders In- the business, and so Is
Harry Wolter. The pitching . staff
should be greatly strengthened by the
addition of Long George McConnell.
Everybody in the International League
declares this fellow the best prospect
In Barrow's league. Russell Ford I
know. He Is the best twtrler I have
ever seen. I looked, hint over enough
to realize that when he was with Jer
sey City. Jack Warhop pitched for
me st Wllliamsport. and I have a lot
of faith in the little fellow. I could
use a good-catcher now that Blair has
been let out, and I could use a good
outfielder, too. We may make some
trades, but if not we will have to take
our chances In landing live ones from
our recruits."
Wolverton Is said to be trying to
land Shortstop McBride and Catcher
Alnsmlth from Washington. Ed Swee
ney will do the bulk of the catching
unless he retires Into business as in
timated In Chicago.
...
Charley Ebbetts, of Brooklyn, noti
fied Hap Hogan a few days ago that
he could have the use of Elmer Strlck
lett. the outlaw Inventor of the spit
ball, if he desired. Hogan at once ap
proached Strlcklett, but the latter In
dignantly refused, saying that the
Coast League had It In for the former
outlaws and that he preferred to play
with Cy Morelng's new Insurgent cir

Dolly Gray, the Coast southpaw, has
been turned over by Washington to
Rochester of the. International League.
Ote Johnson, former Portlander, has

WHITMAN MAY PLAY . OREGON
Unless Game Is Arranged With
Washington Guarantee Promised.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Dec 21.
(Special.) Whitman expects to play
Oregon here next Fall, and, as Oregon
gave Whitman a 450 guarantee, Whit
man will probably guarantee the same
amount. George Cole, chairman of
the managerial board, said tonight his
team would probably play Oregon,
either here or; if Oregon wishes, in
Portland. However, he said the sched
ule Is all up to the conference which
meets in Portland next wee., wucn
Fred Clemens, of Vancouver, Wash.,
will act for Whitman.
Whitman will play Oregon unless a
game with Washington is scheduled. In
which case there Is no chance. Whit
man plays Idaho here, Oregon Agricul
tural College at Corvallls, Washington
State College at Spokane. Only one
more game could be taken on. and
that will be either Oregon or the Uni
versity of Washington. Cole wpuld
not speak definitely and could not get
the managerial board together tonight.
