CRED1E
DUBIOUS
OVER KUHH CASE
Portland Beaver Manager Will
Make Strenuous Fight
for Catcher.
HISTORY OF CASE RETOLD
That White Sox Are Not Entitled to
Player Is" View Taken by Man
Who Says He lias Right to
Him for Two Years More.
BJ lOSCOB FAWCKTT.
TValter McCredle. manager of the
Portland Coast Lttrut champion Beav
ers, will rut up a strenuous battle for
Catcher -Red" Kuhn. whose reinstate
ment and award to the Chicago White
Sox came In over the wire Irom Sec
retary Farrell. of the National Associa
tion, yesterday- McCredle believe
that Farrell has crossed his wires In
pattlna; Kuhn In the same category
with Sheehan. Strlcklett. Moskiman
and Monte Pfyl and other reserve
Jumpers, when he belontcs In the con
tract Jumping class with Ben Hender
aon and "Tub" Hackett. whose terms
of penance are five years against three
for the reserve recalcitrants.
The Bearer leader at the tame time
declares unequivocally that he would
have a better catehlnir staff than In
I'll, even without the peppery sorrel
top. And to prove his faith In his as
sertion ha pare out the announcement
yesterday that Tom Murray would not
lie needed as a Beaver this season.
Mac asked waivers on him again yes
terday and If Sacramento refuses to let
him out of the league, as was the case
! days sco. Murray will a-o to the
Senators for 100.
"I may be wrong In saying that
Kuhn's time Is not up for two more
years," saM Manager McCredle last
night. "But Walter jumped a Minne
apolis contract In 1909. after Cliff
Blankenship had him sign a HIS con
tract when I offered 1200. and that puts
Mm under a five-year ban. the same as
Ben Henderson. I think Farrell Is
wrons and I have written President
Baum. of the Coast League, for the
National commission ruling on the
point.-
Portland's present catching staff,
without Kuhn. consists of CHtn How
ley, secured from Cleveland; Tom Mur
ray. 111 backstop; Mickey LaLonge.
relief catcher last season, and Birch,
a Texas recruit. With Murray off the
Portland roster. Mac will probably go
out after another receiver.
"I don't know but It will be a good
thing If I do lose Kuhn." added the
Beaver chief. "When It was given out
that Kuhn was drafted last Fall.
Cleveland turned over to me Howler,
purchased from Utlca by the Naps for
S3 500. Then upon the dlsallowal of
Kuhn's draft. Cleveland requested
Howley's return and as I figure How
ley a much better man than Kuhn. yon
ran say for me that I am not very much
disappointed, although Howley and
Kuhn would have made a great team
of backstops. I wouldn't let Murrar
gn If I weren't positive that my staff
will be a good one. But you can say
that he will not be with us In 1911.
Howley formerly caught for Indian
apolis, but was forced out of the In
diana capital to I'tlca. N. Y.. as a re
sult of a row. He ts rated as a big
league receiver. Howley stands nearly
six feet tail, la a right-hand batter and
will b the best catcher In the Coast
tague. according to Manager Mc
Credle. He has already accepted terms.
"This talk about Out Fisher's prob
sble return Is out of the question.
added McCredle. "Pure. I might get
Lajote and Cobb and some other big
leaguers. My catching staff will either
consist of one good catcher and two
reliefs or two stellar backstops with
no reliefs. I really shouldn't kick even
If I do lose Kuhn. for I got one years
work out of him without paying a
nickel outside of salary, and a new
nan would have cost me at least tlOOO.
I think I am right In my contention
that Kuhn belongs to me a couple of
years more, but guess there's small
cbanre of me winning out with a big
league club pulling the strings on the
other side of the fence."
Manager McCredle doesn't take much
stock In Sacramento's chances of se
curing Tommy Thomas from Boston,
. n.i Kiiev Crkham will bur Murray
at the waiver price. If not. Mac will
trade him In the Kant.
Bill" Chenault. pitcher on the
10 Tortland Northwestern League
rlub. may return to his old love, for
Bill wrote Manager Williams yester
day from Nashville. Tmn. declaring
that he was a free agent and would
like a Job.
"Sign him." advised Pearl Casey
when Williams sought his advice. "He
pitched good ball for me when I had
the Northwest club In 10."
Chenault was with Seattle In 110.
but rmgdale's men finished rank tall
rnder that season, and Chenault'a rec
ord of 1J wins and si losses did not
prevent his sale to Birmingham of the
Southern League. Chenault reported
to Birmingham In poor shape and drew
a release In midsummer.

President W. W. McCredle received
two additional signed contracts yester
day. "Soldier" Byrd. a pitcher located
at Port Townsend. and McDowell, an
Innelder wintering at Handy. Kin. be

Lincoln high won its first game In
the High School Soccer League yester
day by. defeating Washington by two
goals to one. The winners showed
much Improved form all through, and
did especially well In the first half to
keep out Washington until two players
arrived who had gone to the wrong
field. On the other hand the losers
were unfortunete In having Nelson and
Murphy, two stars, away through sick,
ness.
Creer and Rlsley at back did a large
r wnrir for Unroln In the first
period, and It was mslnly due to their
efforts, coupled with Rousellot's tack
ling at center half, and Tuerck s dashes
In the forward line, that they held the
lead at the Interval.
Corners Badly Placed.
In tha second half Washington be
came dangerous for a time. forcing
several corners, all of which were badly
placed, however, more than one fine
chance of drawing level being; lost In
this way. Following soma good pass
ing on the left wing Tuerck strength
ened his slde'a lead by drawing the
goal-keeper out of goal for a cross-shot
to materialise, but the Washington
boys were by no mesne dona with, for
after a sprint down the wing by Bo

ALBANY, Or, Jan. 2. (Special.) A
number of Albany boys have Invented
a new game, thus far unnamed, but
which might -be termed bicycle polo. It
Is becoming popular and affords good
sport.
The boys play the game on paved
streets In the residence districts, gen
erally using four blocks for a field.
They secure a hall or round stone and
long sticks similar to those used In
playing the time-honored Juvenile game
of "shinny." They then mount bi
cycles and divide Into teams and each
team tries to drive the ball over the
other's goal.
A player must strike the ball while
riding and if he falls or steps off to
avoid falling or to turn be cannot strike
the call until he remounts. The game
