(Special.) Thurman Veasey. the
f oot Southerner secured through Cleve
land for the Portland Com Champions'
pitching- staff, probably will show up
on arhedule time at future fprlng
camps. The ex-New Orleans (linger
drifted In last Sunday, a fortnight
overdue, and as penalty must now go
to Nick Williams1 Northwesternera.
Waivers have already been asked for.
and Veasey will be bundled off to Sac
ramento before the end of the week.
The big fellow admits he Is ready for
active service, and the additional two
weeks of training- should put him In
splendid shape to pitch rings around
some of the class B clubs.
This paring cuts the Beavers' pitch

the bench for the first month and then
shoved In to flnlih a few games to
demonstrate his worth.
bUlla-aa Cue Settled.
But while seven names figure on the
roster. Portland Is absolutely sure of
only the usual six. for the Gllllgan
case la still pending. Chances are.
however, that the National Commission
on the present appeal will stlk
staunchly by Its original decision, de
claring Gllllgan a free agent. In which
case McCredle'a contract holds good.
Since, reporting day Ben Henderson,
the Stockton bandit of outlaw fame,
has picked up nearly ! pounds, tipping
the long end of the beam at close to
! pound". He Is In superb form.
Doane. the lanky right fielder, has
also let the belt out a couple of notches,
while Shortstop Bancroft Is fast over
coming his one chief drawback In Mc
Credle a eye by building up his body at
an alarming rate.
Lamllne. Singer and Temple shoved
the quirks over In practice today, and
the boss chuckled with glee from his
umplrlral vantage point behind the
pitcher's plate. He thinks all three
are to be reliable quantities. Temple
had really never let the sphere loose
until this morning, and when be opened
the throttle wide, the escaping steam
startled the stlrksmltha. Lamllne looks
like a blue ribbon this Spring.
Speck Harkness likewise eercled
his salary muacles at the double re
hearsal, and In a systematic and thor
ough manner, loo. The es-Cleveland
Dinger does not wish to waste the fore
part of the year getting his wing ready
for the last half of the season, as wss
the rase In 1)1 1.
Harkness says his arm feels as strong
as a steel spring, but has not yet re
gained the development with which It
Uft off last KIU In !. his first
eason with Portland. Spet k was In
hape two weeks after the Initial game.
Beavers May t-et FUarr.
Judging from newspaper reports
from the Cleveland Vannigans' Spring
training ramp. Portland may not get
fius Fisher after alL McCredle has not
heard from Homers. He admitted
Klsher was no lead pipe clnrh. but says
1e isn't worrying over the backstop
Ituation.
"I'd just as soon have Adams, who
seasoned with Memphis In the South
ern League last year. said he. "I'm
sure of on of them. I wanted us be
cause he wrote me he would like to
return. I see by Cleveland papers he
has now changed his mind."
Fisher's mental gyrations are prob
ably due to the presence of Ian How
tejr on the Portland club. McCredle
figures Howley a better backstop than
Fisher, and Gus evidently doesn't relish
the thought of being second catcher
with the Beavers. Howley has the
reputation of working like a Trojan,
and unless laid op by Injuries. Klsher
would ltkely be kept on the bench a
great part of the time. The veterans
In camp are unanimous In the belief
that "Howling Dan" will prove the
greatest receiver In the Coast League
In 1711.

MARYSVILLK. Cai.. March Is (Spe
cial.) It yfn a typical benefit game
here this sfternoon. Nick Williams'
Portlsnd Colts going down to ignomin
ious defeat before the Sacramento
Senators. 13 to 3.
It was pitiful. Nick Williams had
been counting on the doubtful ability
of the Senators to connect with the
bar! as shown In their earlier gtmes
of the pre-season schedule. But the
Senators turned loose and removed any
uncertainty which (here might have
bcn. by landing on the Portalnd pitch
ers for 13 hits, bunching nine of them
In the first three innings and cinching
the game by rolling up as many tallies
In those opening frames.
After the first three frames, the
players settled djvn and gave about
13"0 enthusiastic Marysvlile fans a good
exhibition of straight legitimate base
ball. There was nothing sensational.
It was hard plugging all the way
with the Senators doing the effective
plugging and the young Nicks plug
ging up against a stone wall.
ft lea .et Away Well.
The Williams outfit got away to a
two-run lead that looked big for a
half an Inning. Fries contributed a
single. Heister helped things along
with an error and Moore came through
with a clean two-base drive to left
center. But this was the only flash
of brilliancy that the Northerners
showed. The Senators overcame that
two-run lead and went the cubs two
better In the last of the first and after
that the Portland boys nevor went
beyond second base.
O'Rourke was the star slugger of
the day with three hits out of five
times up and Jlmmie Iewls and AI
Ilelster ran wild on the paths each with
three stolen bases.
The s'tuad of hopefuls that Williams
gathered around him which at one time
threatened to assume regimental pro
portions Is gradually being diminished
and aa the lesser constellation flickers
out. the individual merits of the sur
vivors flame brighter. Carey, the
Houston recruit, has done the most Im

KILBANE WOULD
FIGHT WDLGAST
Jones Says Ad Will Meet Any
one in World at Light
weight Limit.
TOM M'CAREY ANSWERED
Champion Saya Los Angeles Pro
moter Is Making Erfort to Belittle
Him, but Says He Vlll Enter
Ring July 4 and Labor Day.
BY JAMES H. CASSELl-
"Ad Wolgast will fight anyone in the
world at the lightweight limit. He
expects to fight on July 4 and Labor
dav. If Tom McCarey or any oth"
promoter wishes to match him with
Johnnv Kllhane. he has only to Tlx
suitable financial eondltlons and the
match la on. No one can tell us what
Wolgast will get or what he la worth
as a drawing card, for there are too
many promoters In too many cities
for that."
The above statement was made last
night by Tom Jones, manager of Ad
Wolgast, lightweight fistic champion,
upon receipt of the news that Pro
moter Tom McCarey is trying to ar
range a lightweight title mill between
Wolgast and Johnny. Kilbane, new
featherweight king, at Los Angeles on
Labor day.
The message also contained the in
formation that Kllhane is willing If
Wolgast does not grab all the money.
Wolgast Says Nonsensical.
"They're not kidding anyone by
such a nonsensical proposition," Is the
way Wolgast received the news of the
proposed bout. "And." he added, "I
don't think the public wants to see
us In the ring together."
"The whole affair seems to be another
effort to belittle Wolgaat," continued
Manager Jones. "They have been
going after him for some time now,
but he will be ready to fight by July
4. and after that he will take them all
on. a week at a time if necessary.
Wolgast will surely fight on July 4,
also Labor day. If McCarey makes the
best offer for a' bout on either day, he
will get Wolgast. But we are not going
to give up a part of the purse for th
sake of getting an opponent.
"We know Wolgast's worth and will
not be dictated to In the matter.
Ad Wn't Make Weight.
"I cannot believe that Kilbane is
serious when he says that he Is willing
to fight for the lightweight title, and
am Inclined to think that Ad's offer
to make 122 pounds If Rivers would.
Is -st the root of the proposition.
While Ad will meet Rivers at any
weight the Mexican can make, he will
make weight only for Rivers. To
others he is a lightweight, and is not
going back to the class he quit sev
eral years ago."
Jones says that the present trouble
with Promoter McCarey of Los Angeles
started when Kilbane posed for pic
tures Jones Is using, showing white
champions at home and in training.
McCarey took pictures of the Attell
Kllbane go. and felt peeved when he
thought Jones would use Ills pictures
in opposition.
Wolgast wired McCarey last night
asking him to rectify the statement
that he agreed to fight Rivera for
313.600. Ad declares he never made
such an offer.
Wolgast Is playing at a local theater.
He will quit the stage at the end of
this week and go to his home in Cadil
lac Mich.
Freak Klaus Favored.
"Frank Klaus Is the legitimate mid
dleweight champion." said Ad yester
day. "He Is no parlor scrapper, but be
has a punch. Is always after his man,
and should havo no trouble holding
the title as long as he sticks to the
30-round game. It's comparatively
easy for a clever man to boat him In
10 rounds, but after the 12th Klaus be
gins to win. and the fellow who can
stay away from a chap like him be
yond that round Is a lucky man.
"Papke is gone. Klaus proved his
superiority over Dillon the other night,
and while McGoorty cannot be entire
ly overlooked, still he Is not the fight
ing machine that Klaus Is. The other
mlddlewelghts don't figure very
"'pete McVlgh. Seattle lightweight,
dropped Into Portland yesterday on his
way to St- Martin's Springs, where he
expects to pass a week or two. Pete
has something up his sleeve, and Is
Intent on getting Into first-class shape.
"I am going after the lightweights
right this time," said Pete last night.
"I never trained properly for a mill on
the Coast, but I can t say that much
longer. Tho only time 1 was really
right was when I was In the East,
and then I beat lots of the good boys."
EDDIE GRAXEY TO REFEREE
Johnny Frayne and Frankle Burns
Agree on Promoter.
8A.V FRANCISCO, March 26. Eddie
Graney, promoter of the bout, was se
lected today aa the referee for the 20
round fight Friday night between
Johnny Frayne and Frankle Burns, the
local lightweights. The question of
the third man in the Ting threatened
to cause trouble and when Graney
Insisted that the managers agree at
once, they immediately requested him
to officiate.
Graney has not refereed a match
since the bout between Johnny Murphy
and Freddie Welsh in Los Angeles In
1908. ,
DILLON TO PROD HIS SQUAD
It Is Xo Secret That Angels Have Not
Rounded Into Form.
LOS ANGELES.- Cal., March 26.
(Special.) Hereafter Dillon will keep
his men on the griddle twice a day.
requiring long morning and afternoon
workouts the remainder of the train
ing season. It is no secret that the
Angela are backward In rounding to
form. Inclement weather has con
tributed largely to this unsatisfactory
condition, together with late reporting
by several players.
All the pitchers are In tiptop shape,
but the catchers, barring Hughey
Smith, are still suffering from sore
wings and Howard and Core are In the
same fix. Dillon hopes all this sore
ness will be gone by next Tuesday,
when they hook up with the Beavers In
the opening game of the season.
Berry is after a shortstop from the
Chicago Cubs and with his arrival the
sauad may be considered complete. The
team will then have three good men
to fill the short garden. Howard, Blg
ando and the newcomer.
Looking over the field at this early
day and regarding the condition of the
players, local fans believe Hogan Will
omm all his rivals .working under
serious handicap from the start The
other five contenders must piay mem
selves into condition and by the time
they get going at full speed Vernon
should be away out in front, according
to the experts.
SEALS WILL KEEP HARTLEY
Mundorfr May Be Fielder Who Will
Walk Long's Plank.
PASO ROBLES. Cel., March 26. (Spe
cial.) It was settled beyond the
shadow of a doubt today that Chick
Hartley would be retained by the San
Francisco club this season. Manager
Long passed out today the declaration
that Hartley would be drawing salary
with the Seals. Chick has proved one
of the heaviest hitters seen on the
Coast in years, and it is not surpris
ing that Long has picked him. With
Long's intimation that Mclver and Raf
tery will be kept, along with Jackson,
it Is beginning to look as if Mundorff
or Powell will be the outfielder who
will walk the plank. The six outfield
ers were put through a hard test this
morning with Manager Long as over
seer. Watt Powell- and Chick Hartley
competed in left field. Johnson and
Mundorfr In center field, and Mclver
and Raftery in right field.
Three batters sent fly balls and
grounders to the outfield, and for 15
minutes the players were tried out.
General fielding and pegging stunts
were -practiced, and it was a hard mat
ter to pick out any one of the six who
showed to advantage over his rivals.
The pitchers were also put through
some sharp fielding practice along with
J First Baseman Jackson. Bunts were
laid down and the entire squad or siaD
sters practiced throwing to first and
covering the bag. The regulars and
Yannlgans lined up In a practice game
In the afternoon, but after four Innings
had been played a drizzling rain started
In and hostilities were suspended.

competitions. Spokane, the rival club
for the April smoker, has named 115
pound boxing and wrestling as the

wrestling, the other extreme of the
weight scale.

pound boxing class and has Glahe, who
appeared in the National meet here last
Spring, for the bantamweight mat go.

invasion of the Spokane bantams and
a special, lightweight or welterweight
substitution will be asked for one of
the numbers.
