Under a two-column front page cut the News says in part: "Some wonder ment has been expressed that Fielder Jones, who refused 120,000 a year to continue as manager of the Chicago White Sox. ahould be willing to assume the trials and tribulations of a minor league president at one nfth the salary but his re-entry Into the game Is merely evidence of the quality that made him one of the most admired leaders in the major leagues." see Spokane and Helena are kicking up all aorta of capers over Del Baker, the Portland lad who caught for Helena last season.

HENDERSON GOING BACK McCredie Says Beaver Pitcher Is Losing Ground Through Not Tak ing Proper Care of Himself. Cameron Thought Prize. BT ROSCOT3 FAWCETT. Confident that Boston will return Catcher Ira Thomas to 6acramento, Patsy CRourke. manager of the Sen atora, baa decided to grant the waiver on Tommy Murray asked by Portland, and the sterling Beaver backstop who haa worn the fancy "P" on bis bosom front for several aeaaona probably r. played his last game In the Coast League. News of O'Rourke's change of heart came over the wire from Sacramento yesterday and occasioned considerable aurprlse at baseball headquarters, aa O'Kourke was the sole obstacle In the way of smuggling Murray out of the league a month ago. McCredie at th time withdrew the waiver proffer, but subsequently decided to let the Sen ators have him for the $800 If they so desired. "Murray Is a fair receiver, and I'm glad they've let him through," said Manager McCredie last night. "I am dickering with Memphis ot the South ern League either for a sale or trade. and expect to gobble up another good backstop to fill in with Howley. don't believe any other club wtll re fuse to waive." McCredie. however, does not believe that Thomas will be returned to the Senators, for he classes the former Seal as one of the greatest young backstops that ever performed In tha circuit. Tim Murnane. the Boston writer, says in the last Issue of one of the leading sport weeklies: "Car rig an and Nunnemaker are the only two catchers of the six on the Boaton reserve list sure of berths next season. Thomas, secured from Sacra monto. wtll be held for trial, aa MC' Aleer has heard soma nice things about this catcher, though the Coasters seem to think they will have him back there again." If Murray Is shunted to Memphis, he wtll find himself allied with another former Portland player, Netzel, the Spokane third Backer, who will hold down "Dutch" Altman'a place at the red-hot corner. Murray is winter ing In the East. e e That Ben Henderson would have been reinstated and taken over by Cleve land thla Spring had he behaved him self, was a statement given out yester day by Walter McCredie. And Walt declares that Ben is fast enough for the majors when "right." "Sure, we had things all arranged said the pennant copper. "Ben waa the greatest pitcher In this league when he was going good last Summer. He Jumped a Portland contract, so if I had given the word thla Spring he would have been reinstated the same aa Walter Kuhn. One more season. though, la all I give Henderson. He doesn't take care of himself and Is spoiling a great career." Manager McCredie ridicules the fre quent prognostications made last Sum mer that "Henderson would not make good in the big leagues because he did not work the corners." "Bosh on that corner stuff," ejacu lated McCredie. "Like most of that 'Inside' stuff it's newspaper talk. They're all trying for the heart of that plate and the man that has the curve on the ball gets away the best. Henderson haa a good stock In trade. His jump ball, his spltter, his fast one and hla curve are all hard to touch. Orlfflth waa the only pitcher I ever knew that could really cut the cor ners. fhleT Bender la the biggest groover In the world." o Mao believes that Spokane will be decidedly fortunate If it gets the serv ices of Don Came roe, of Oakland, to fill Nordyke's shoes at the first sack. "Cameron should never have been let V to Dayton last year," said he. "Cam eron la Coast League timber. He Is a better man than ..ordyke. In my opin ion, and would have made good In the Coast had not Manager Sharpe come along and grabbed bis place." Spokane has another applicant for the Job In Thornton, obtained from Sacramento In trade for Pitcher Vic Holm. e Nick Williams, manager of the Port land Northwestern League club, yes terday received an O. K. on his practlr dates at Sacramento for Spring train ing. The Roadsters will play the C'.cramento Coast Leaguers at Sac ramento on the following dates: March 23, II. IS. 29, ID and II. The two sec ond teams will mix - at Marysvllle, where the Senators will be limbering up, on March 24 and II. "We will report at Sacramento March IS. so that will give us five days In which to take off tha edges." said Nick. "The Senators will have been at work for two weeks then. Presi dent McCredie expects to rush the cur plus talent from the Portland Coast League camp on March 19. We will leave Sacramento on April 1 for Chlco." Frank Eastley, who, with Bill Bloom field, is expected to bear the brunt of the pitching work for the Roadsters, sent In his signed contract yesterday. Eastley Is wintering at Pittsburg, e . Fred Mitchell Walker, alias "Mys terious Mitchell." states in a San Fran cisco paper that fully 85 per cent of the college baaeball players In the Middle West have played for money.

We Specialize in VERNON INS CUP Ainsworth School Beaten in Deciding Soccer Game. ONLY ONE GOAL IS MADE On Account of Heavy and Wet Field Play Is Shortened Kvlnge Senda In Scoring Shot Just Be fore Time Is Called. Vernon School beat Atnsworth yes terday on the Columbus field in the re played soccer tie by a goal to nothing. The cup will be presented to the win ners by Professor Krohn tomorrow morning. In consideration of the heavy na ture of the ground only 20 minutes were played each way, with the under standing that extra time would be played If the scores were, level. This was not needed, as the Vernon lads sue ceeded in sticking to their one goal lead till the final whistle. Play waa on an even character for the greater part of the first half, though the Ainsworth forwards were more handicapped by the heavy going. The backs, however, played a fine game. seldom missing a kick, and repelling all attacks In fine style. A noticeable feature of the game was the scarcity of shots elther'goalkeeper was called upon to save, all the more remarkable be cause on a wet ground long shots are particularly difficult to deal with. In the second period Vernon showed up more prominently, the forwards making several dangerous attacks. The single score was made when the ball was centered from close on the line to Kvinge, who sent In a high' shot right out of reach. The lineup: Vernon. Poaltlon.
