Recently Married. Will Xot Pitch In Home City Kager Kecrults Given Little Consideration. TACOMA, March 20. i Special.) The preliminary training for the Northwest ern League pennant race for 1912, as far as the Tacoma Tigers are con cerned, begun Monday when Mike Lvnch gathered his cohorts around him. pointed to the ball lot and said In slow and Impressive tones: "Fly at it." Eager recruits were soon prancing around the outfield and chasins; fungo flies in the garden, while the most staid veterans were busy, but not enough to Injure the much-valued sal ary wings. With his usual optimism. Lynch Is predicting that the club will finish one. two. three, and In spite of past rebuffs It would appear even to the most carping crltlo that he stands a better chance than he did with last year's hitless wonders. Bert Hall Is Balky. The greatest 'question which Lynch has to face Is that of pitchers. Bert Hall, the cream of the local staff. Is dissat isfied. Bert has Just been married and he does not want to piay in his home town. The only remaining veterans being Charlie Fehmuti and "Doc" Hig glns, the pitching staff Is more or less undecided. Blaine Gordon Is still In the hold-out leaguo and will probably bo suspended. Lynch has a raft of recruits. The youngsters are promising In this stage of the game, hut Mike will be lucky if he goes through the season with one good enough to keep on the payroll. The list of pitchers now on deck is as follows: Higglns, Hall. Schmutz. Bald win. Knglish. Uotchy. Helmecke. Slmins. Hatch. Cottlngton and MeHenry. Of the colts, but three Gotchy. English and MeHenry alone have even symp toms of being league material. Outer Uardema Sron. The outfield will be strong. Otly Ab bott and Lynch will be there and with "t'y" Neighbors, a Western Leaguer with a .323 hatting average, the outer gardens will need no change. Three new faces will greet North western League fans In the makeup of the Infield. Pete Mose. last season's shortstop, will be the only member of last season's team to report. Don Cameron, purchased from Oakland club, in the Pacific Coast League, will play first base. George Nill. obtained from Chattanooga In the Southern League, is the most likely contestant for sec ond base. The fight for third will be between Anson Mott, a former Tiger, and Cole Pettus. a semi-pro from San Diego of more than usual promise, tlecrulla Have Small Cbaaco. There Is a cloud of other recruits, but they stand little or no chance of making the team. The complete list of intielders follows: More. Pettus. Mott. Morse, Cameron. Turk. Vogel. Wilson, McMasters. Sawyer and Wolff. There are four candidates for catch ers. William Ludwlg. formerly of Lou isville, -In tho A. A.. Is the leading con tender, with Crittenden, of St. Joseph, In the Western League, as runner up. The two contending colts are McLean and Sieht. Ike Butler, the former Tacoma pitch er, has been retained by President Rothermel as battery coach. He will have charge of this department through the training season, and will probably be retained as an extra pitcher during the pennant race. C'KXTRAMA FANS AUK JJOYFCIi Committee Will Go to 01jmpiato Help Organize Team. TCNTRALI A. Wash., March SO. (Special.) W. n. Patton, Judge George Dysart and. K. K. Teachnor, the com mittee that represented Centralla at the meeting of the Chamber of Com merce In Olympla. returned home yes terday and reported " that the fans of the capital city are decidedly enthu siastic over the prospects for a state league team this Summer. Dick Roet tlger, captain of Centralia's champion ship 1911 team, represented Aberdeen at the meeting. The money required to start the Olympla team off has finally been raised, and a committee will go to Olympla from Centralla to day to assist in organizing the team. In Aberdeen S1000 has already been raised and the canvassing committee will get to work immediately raising the rest of the iloOO required. It is proposed to engage a playing manager in Aberdeen and several fast men have been suggested, among whom Is Dick Boettlger. As soon as the Olympla team is under an advanced state of organization, a meeting will be called for Centralla for the purpose of adopt ing a schedule and electing league of ficers. The flve-games-a-wcek propo-. si I Ion will be discussed at this time. The schedule probably will open May 1 and continue until Labor day, as in 1911. I1CXTIXG PRACTICE IS HELD Xo Gank riayod at Uvcrmore Flc eause of Bad Weather. LIVERMOKK. CaL. March 20. (Spe cial.) For two hours this morning Manager Sharps, had every member of the Oakland team hard at work or. the field with the exception of Zacher. Mitze and Tledmann, who were allowed to spend the night in Oakland after the game -with California yesterday. Although the weather was raw and cold, some good work was accom plished. For the first hour Gregory, Malark ey and Brooks pitched to the batters, who were instructed to do nothing but bunt the ball and run to first base, while tho pitchers were to field the hall and catch the runners if possible. This exercise enabled the boys to loosen up their muscles without any danger of bad results from the cold wind. The morning practice wound up with the old-time game of rounders and there waa much rivalry shown by the players, as everyone wanted to hit. Hllle kept at the bat the longest time. The afternoon practice was de layed until 2:30 in hopes that the sun would come out, but the boys were disappointed and the cold wind was vor7 disagreeable. Manager Sharpe called off the usual practice game and the time was spent In hlttfhg practice. MARYSVILLE AWAITS GAME Stores Will Close Wlien Senators and Roadsters Have Meeting. MARYHV1LLE, Cal.. March 20. (Spe cial.) The great event in the baseball world is to be the game here March 26 between the Senators and the Port land Northwest League boys. All the stores will close and it will be a gen eral holiday, including half a day for the school children. Until that game is over O'Rourke will not announce who will make up his regular team or whom he will send to Boston. Jawn Fitxgerald did better at practice today. His batting eye has been polished up and Is now in first class trim. Deacon Van Burea did some wonderfully good work In the field and If he does half as well when the club is on the circuit he will win honors easily. Tommy Madden is on the sick list but is improving and ex pects to be all right in a day or two. The weather has been of the best to day and there is every prospect that from now on the practicing will bo rarely Interrupted by rain. CARL, MORRIS OCTPOIXTED Jim Stewart Has Better of Ten Round Bont in New York. NEW TORK. March 20. Jim Stewart, the Brooklyn heavyweight, outpointed Carl Morris, of Oklahoma, in a ten round bout at the Empire Athletic Club tonight. Stewart's work was cleaner cut than that of Morris, the Brooklynite landing straight lefts to the face and occasionally a right to the body and right uppercuts, while Morris depended a great deal on in fighting. In the sixth round Stewart with a straight left started Morris" right eye bleeding. Then he sent over a right hook, which caught Morris on the jaw as he was backing away. Morris went down sprawling to his hands and knees. He was np again immediately. They were fighting hard at the bell. The weights were announced as: Mor ris, 225; Stewart. 209 pounds.

Multnomah Club members have re ceived notice of the Increase in senior dues from $2 to )3, necessitated as the notice reads, by the doubling of running expenses and justified by the greater facilities offered in the new building.

Club officials hope to reduce the membership dues by the leasing of property on Morrison street when the fill is completed.
