TACOMA, March 20. i Special.) The
preliminary training for the Northwest

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.

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

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

MARYHV1LLE, Cal.. March 20. (Spe

world is to be the game here March
26 between the Senators and the Port

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

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

Representative Baseball Team to
Meet College Xines of XorttWest.
Multnomah Club Plans.
With a representative baseball team
meeting practically every college nine
In the Northwest, and a Sunday morn
ing league composed of six clubs, the
coming season promises to be the most
successful In the history of the Multno
mah Athletic Club. At a recent meeting
of baseball enthusiasts Dick Hathaway
was elected captain, and April 11 was
decided upon as the date for the open
ing of the Sunday morning circuit.
Ed Morris, chairman of the baseball
committee of Multnomah Club, and
menager of the club's representative
nine, has lined up Oregon University
for a game here May 18 and another
later on. He Is In touch with the offi
cials of tho University of Washington,
Washington State College and. Oregon
Agricultural College, and expects to
land games with all three schools. The
first game of the season will be played
against Columbia University on April 6.
The 1912 team will be composed al
most exclusively of new men. The old
material will consist of Dick Hathaway,
third , baseman; Joe Campbell. Park
Myers. Paul McKenna. In fielders. Many
recruits have been lined up for tho team
and practice will be called within 10
days.
The Sunday Morning League, six
teams strong this season, instead of
four as heretofore, will play double
headers of five innings each. The en
try list for players has been opened, to
be closed on April 7, when the atx man
agers will draw for the members of
their teams. The managers are: Plow
den Scott. Park Myer. Harry Fisher.
Bert Allen. Del O'Hanlon, Charles Bar
ton. .
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.
The Increase meets with general fa
vor, the members realizing that with
the splendid new club they are really
paying less at $:I a month than many
other organizations offer for twice that
sum. .
Club officials hope to reduce the
membership dues by the leasing of
property on Morrison street when the
fill is completed.

Ber;r handicap match at Oregon Hall.
Siegfried, whom .laok Hi-rnan de
clares has all the qualifications of a
comer, with as much strength and more
weight than Zbyszko, weighs "5tl
pounds, towers six Inches over a h;ilf
dozen feet and is only 22 years old. He
was a member of Kaiser Wilhelm's
bodyguard, according to Herman, rank
ing as one of the tallest and bipjrest
men in a squad where every member
must .rank six feet three Inches or bet
ter In height. He won tho army title
two successive years against hundreds
of candidates.
"Of course he is crude, with only a
couple of years' experience at the game,
but he should rank as one of the best
in the country within a few years,"
says Herman.
Yesterday Zbyszko worked out with
Kddie O'C'onnell and Sifcfried at Mult
nomah Athletic Club. This aficrnoon
the Pole will test the mettle of Nick
Iaviseourt and other club heavy
weights. Nick is being primed for tiie
heavyweight struggle for Northwest
amateur honors this Spring, and Zbys
zko promises to give tho big, fellow a
good workout, as well as show him a
few holds which he lias worked suc
cessfully against the best grapplers in
the country.
