Hall Is a corker when right, although
Ms 1911 record was only 10 wins and
10 lostea before the Phillies lured him
Eastward. We have several outfielders

found out last season that a manager
has lots to learn, and to make matters
worse Sharpe will have to build up ao
entirely new Infield.
"I cannot see Los Angeles aa a first

catchers, no pitchers and Just a fair
team elsewhere. Hettmuller Is a good

The team Is Just fair."

six right-handed liingers from which
to choose. There will be a flght for
nearly every position."

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem,
Or., Feb. 14. (Special.) The Willam
ette basketball team will have Its next
tryout Friday evening, when the Ore
gon Agricultural College team lines
up against the locals In the Willamette
gymnasium. Hard luck has followed
the Willamette basketball tossers
throughout the season, and as the re
sult of illness Homan and McRae are
off the team for the remainder of the
year and Steelhammer has been out for
two weeks with a severe Injury and
probably will not play again this
Sprint?.
The lack of strong substitutes ha
left the Willamette team extremely
weak, when. If all the players could
be used that played the early season
games, the Methodist aggregation would
be one of the best.
St. Pierre, Blacknell, Wlnslow and
HepD will be used to fill up the de
pleted ranks and are working hard.
The Willamette students are standing
solidly back of their team, supporting
it as never before.

SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 14. (Special.)
"I got the tip from a horse that put
my knees In shape and made me fit
to enter the ring again," said Tommy
Burns, the former world's heavyweight
champion. "One might say I swam my
self into condition. Parisienne was
entered for the Melbourne cup last
year, but her legs were so bad that
the wise ones did not give her a chance.
"The trainer, however, conceived the
!iea of training her in salt water.
There she could swim and get the
exercise without Jolting her knees.
The scheme worked and with only a
few gallops on the track, Parisienne
went out and won the odds being 25
to 1 against her, first call.
"I got the tip from the way
Parisienne was bandied and used to
walk every morning to the ocean and
swim. In a little time my knees com
menced to Improve and in a couple of
months were all right. Before that I
had to use a cane."
