EX-OAK MAY GET IN GAME Harry Declares He'll Demonstrate to Highlanders That Their Chief Is Xot "Dead One" Seals Will . Get Strand, "$5000 Beauty. George Stalllngs, ef Buffalo, who managed ' the Nw Tork Yankees In 1310. Is a great booster of Harry WoN rerton. Hal Chase's successor aa boss of th Tanks. Stalling declares th ex-Coast Leaguer will make good In New Tork and that there are but two third basemen In the American Leagu today who hava anything on him In playing ability. "As he stands today. Wolverton Is about as good a third sacker as can be found in the Johnson league."' de clared Stallings In an Eastern Inter view. "I know of only two that are better. Of course, Dolan made a great showing at the close of last season. He played much better In fast company than he did In the Eastern league. He may ba one of those fellows who can rise to the emergencies and make th best of his opportunities. But If Dolan should happen to disappoint, Wolver ton will be right on the Job. And he'll deliver, too. With Dolan as under study Wolverton would show a lot of his rivals a few frills. If Wolverton is not at third when the season opens I'll greatly miss my guess." This, together with a statement from Wolverton himself. In a New Tork pa ner. Indicates that the ex-Oakland leader will be out hustling for that third bag. "I suppose I'm like everyone else," said Harry. "Human nature makes it hard for us to take the count. It's not very likely that a man of 50 years can make the youngsters take the count. But that's Just what I'm going to at tempt. I'm not so foolish as to favor myself of course. But I'm going to be in shape to go right In at third if any thing goes wrong. I want to be able to play to demonstrate in that man ner than deal in past performances. And I think the Yankees will find their manager far from being a dead one. "If I only had another set of legs I'd pick myself for a regular billet right now. My arm Is as good as ever it was; I can field as well and can hit the ball as hard and often. But my ankles have been bad for a couple of years. I had to keep 'em braced up last year on the Coast, but at that X got away with 147 full games. I hit well enough to Justify my belief that I can make the big league pitchers wor ry a bit." a e e Every now and then incidents pop up showing the fore and fearlessness of the New York Americans' manager. Manager McCredle, of the local Coasters, cited one instance last night of Wolverton' manner of dealing with surly players. "We were dressing In the clubhouse after a gam down south with Oakland when we heard some loud talking and 'cussing on the Oakland side of the building." said McCredle. "Two or three of us peered through the window looking Into their half of the structure Just In time to see Wolverton grasp Outfielder Maggert by the throat. " Ton'll do as you're told or you'll get off this club,' exclaimed .Wolverton, aa be shook the unruly star, who was later kicked off the team altogether. "And I'll not stand for any dirty lan guage either. I'm running this team and If you don't appreciate decent treatment I can dish out some of the other kind." e a Bradley, the "off agin, on agin" Portland Northwestern and Coast League backstop, has been turned over .o the Toledo club of the American As sociation and Brad will likely be shunted off to some class B circuit In the East If ha falls to land with th Cleveland "farm." Bradley is a dental student at the Western Reserve Uni versity and will graduate in the Spring. see President At Baum, of th Coast League, has announced that the official schedule will be released in the Sun day morning papers of March 3. Baum also Informed his umpires In San Fran cisco that should any of them show up late for games In the Bay cities he would take a band at holding the Indi cator himself. Baum was the arbiter in a game between the magnates at the recent San Antonio convention and made quite a hit. e a In a three-cornered deal, Paul Strand, the 35000 lemon southpaw sold to Bos ton by Spokane last Summer, has been turned over to San Francisco by Bos ton. In return both San Francisco and Boston must slip Cohn. of Spokane, an inflelder. Boston had made only the first payment on Strand, but Cohn Is so satisfied that Strand will never be a phenom that he is willing to accept players instead of the cash balance due.

At a mass meeting of baseball fans held in Centralla last night, a board of directors was elected and plans laid for the 1912 State League season.- The directors are: George Dysart. president: Maurice Daubney. secretary-treasurer: Jaok Sclutto, M. W. Mills, M. J. Vaughan. W. J. Helnran and H. J. Albrecht. Judge Dysart was instructed .to request the president of the league. O. J. Albers, to call a meeting in Centralla of delegates from various towns in Southwest Washing ton relative to forming a six-club cir cuit. The towns desired are: Hoqulam, Aberdeen, Olympla, Elma, Montesano, Chehalis, Raymond. South Bend and Kelso. Prospects are bright for Centralla's 1912 team. Practically all of last year's championship team have been reserved, the only losses being Krause, a pitcher who was sold to Victoria. Guyn and Hollis. now with Tacoma and Berger who was made a free agent. The Centralla merchants have promised their support financially, and there Is little doubt but what the end of the 1912 season will see an even larger surplus In the treasury than In 1911. Centralla fans are boosting Judge George Dysart for president of the State League when It Is reorganized. He has been In close touch with base ball for the past ten years and Is perhaps th ablest man in Southwest Washington for directing the affairs of the league. Judge Dysart is well known In every city in this section of the state, and when the issue Is put to a rote, probably will be elected.

NEW PACIFIC CIRCUIT AIDS Shirley Christy, of Phoenis, Would Have 1 2 Months of Racing Begin ning at Ixs Angeles In May, Swinging Xorth by Portland. A race circuit starting at Los An geles in May, swinging northward to Vancouver and dowa the Coast through Portland and San Francisco and east ward through Texas, Louisiana, Alaba ma and Florida practically a 12 months' stretch. Is the ambitious plan of Shirley Christy, manager of the Phoenix, Ariz., fair, and the originator of the newly-formed Paclflo Coast circuit. Mr. Christy returned to Portland yes terday from the Walla Walla session of the North Paclflo circuit, which ratified the dates for the Vancouver, Seattle, Portland and Salem meets chosen at the San Francisco meeting of the Pacific circuit. Mr. Christy was accompanied back to Portland by G. A. Westgate and William iJcMurray. Portland delegates. Frank Alley, of Roseburg, came up late in the day and held a conference with the Arlzonian at the Imperial Hotel. . "This new Pacific circuit will prove a wonderful thing for the race horse and the horseman," declared Christy, with emphasis. "The big races start at Vancouver on August 11. come to Portland from Seattle on A-Jgust 26-31 and close at Phoenix on November 4-12. Next year we probably will arrange to move the Northwestern meetings at least two weeks ahead so as to dodge tho rainy weather. Some Opposition Seen. "We had a little opposition from Washington and Idaho officials in the ratification of the four dates in the north. But everything Is lovely now. There will have to be any number of subsidiary circuits anyway and a good one can be formed in this Washington, Idaho, Utah section. Montana and Utah boosters have already allied Start My Car Every Bell Telephone is a Long Distance Station The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. Todays Only!! b 'XTRA I Special Ij Today Only!! Stock up for a year to come ! ! ! I ! On "Wash- ington near Fifth. themselves with several Canadian cities." Mr. Christy says the present Pa cific circuit will give the southern horsemen continuous racing from. May 1 to November 12. The owners will begin with numerous minor meets in California and work northward, Jump ing to Canada for the Western Canada circuit, which opens at Calgary on June 29 and runs through Moose Jaw, Winnipeg, Brandon, Regina and Saska toon before August 11 when Vancou ver sets the wheels going for the long campaign down the coast. "At Phoenix we expect one of the greatest weeks in the history of the Southwest," continued the Arizona fair manager. "The big Eastern circuit closes at Dallas, Tex., Immediately be fore us and some of the crack step pers will Journey over to our track. It is no wild dream to predict that within a few years we will have race meets on through Phoenix to Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Georgia points, for Winter racing thrives In that locality. Such a circuit would give owners and breeders prac tically continuous racing and would stimulate breeding in a remarkable manner. In the past the owners have been content to train their horses ten months In the year for two months of racing. No matter -how good a sport a man is he eventually tires of this and racing consequently shows little pro gress. "The Pacific circuit will give six months of racing and that will help a lot but nine or ten months or even 12 months are not altogether improb able In the near future." Christy leaves today for the South after a three weeks' absence from home. GEHBEVG AND YOKEL- MATCHED Middleweight Wrestling Champion ship Will Be Settled. CLEVELAND, Feb. 2.
