I 1 i 1 NEW IN AWAITED Fans Wonder Where McCredie Will Use Stone. HIS THROWING ARM WEAK Portland See Plenty of Chnnce to Place Fisher and lllgglubolhom In Beaver I.lnctip to AdvantaKe. Ryan Illttins; Ball Hard. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. The addition of Pitcher Hlcgin botham. of Toledo, and Catcher Kiaher, of the New York Americans, should materially strengthen the Portland Coast League Club. Manager McCre die announced yesterday In The Ore goninn the signing of another outfield er. George Stone, late of the PU Louis Browns ar.d Milwaukee Brewers, and fans are now wondering Just where the erstwhile batting king of the American League w ill be placed. Stone was a wonder with St. Louis after being traded by Boston for Jesse Burkett, but his monopoly of the cal cium wss ephemeral, for after leading the league in batting In 1U06 with an average of .358. he gradually slumped, touching .IS" in 10 and .Zo In 1S10, when St. Louis sold him to Milwaukee. Last season Stone hatted .292 for Milwaukee, but, according to a player who was with him on that team, hi arm was weak and his baserunning mediocre. He stole only 1 bags, against 35 for 10. Apparently Stones only use to the Beavers will be as an occasional pinch hitter. 4'apraa Replaces Moee. This Spring he did not report to Mil waukee and Ralph Capron. the Tnlver sity of Minnesota ijuartcrbai k. who turned professional when offered a 3j'0 contract by Pittsburg. Is now holritng down his outdeld berth. "Stone is a modest and unassuming .1 m . nnnTilP In the bis leagues." said Jack Barry, manager of I the Seattle Club, yesterday. "I vii with the St. I.ouls Nationals while he was with the Brown. 'Silent George" Is wc'l tlxed and owns uls own auto mobile." McCredie now ha five outfielders, Krueger. Chadbourne, Doane, McDow ell and Stone. Of the three new men Hlgginbotham, a Portland boy. by the way. Is most needed of all. In vtew of Gilligan's en forced rest under a National Commis sion ukase. Harkness" return to form yesterday adds an encouraging not to the tilings from down south, hut with Gilllgan out and Henderson still await- j ir.ic wora trorn tamer. .viTrmis i .--talnly r.ot obsessed with an Idea of se curity over Ills pitching staff. , Kami Ks Illgalabothaza. Hlgglnootham Is well known In the Pacific Northwest, which waa his old stamping grounds before' being called by the majors. In 1S0 he twirled for St. Louis and Chicago In the National League, winning six games and losing two. In 1M0 he was sent to Louis ville. In tho American Association, winning six and losing six with a club that finished In sixth place, with a per centage of only .239. Last season ha began with Louisville, but later landed at Toledo. His record waa 19 wlna and 23 losses, or about on a par with the record of his club throughout the season. He should prove a winning hurl smith with Portland. McCredie secured Fisher because TVolverton. of the New York Yankees, was forced to come to terms with his recalcitrant catcher, Ed Sweeney, who goes on the records as one big- leaguer who forced the bosses to meet his sal ary demands. He signed a contract for J stiooo and donned a suit ior tne iirsi time last Saturday. Fighting Sweeney proved a costly experiment to Wolverton, especially In the lig it of Street's erratic backstop ping:. XV a a Hag BoosU By sa. Bert Whailng. the Seattle backstop, who had a trial with Cleveland this Spring and was offered to McCredie In place of Fisher,, says Buddy Ryan and Rill Steen are sure to remain with the Naps all season. "Steen was started once while I waa there, but developed a wild streak, as did Oene Krapp.v said Whaling yester day. "Gregg saould have won hla first game at ltetrolt, giving him a record of four atraight. Easterly had Ty Cobb , ' ; I : t I ii.- sr- out 10 feet at the plate on the-winning tally, but with :;.0i0 fans In the new grandstand howling like dervishes, the umpire was afraid to call him out." Whaling says Buddy Ryan has hit the ball hard all season but has had poor luck In cracking It safely. He expects to see Buddy over the .300 mark within another rortnlght. Athletics la Dlaxeptate. Fortune Is fickle Indeed. Last year the Portland Beavers sat upon exalted pedestals of fame; this year a majority of funs have long since willed them to the baseball pottera' Held. The Phila delphia Athletics should hold a com munion of sympathy with the local lads, for even the twice world's champion squad is being banded verbal hydro chloric Note this from the Philadelphia North American: "The quicker the Athletics forget that they are champions of the world the better. Judging from their work to date the backsliding monarcha Imagine they don't have to work to win games. There is something rad ically wrong or else the Highlanders, with a Trl-State lineup, couldn't have won two straight. At the rate they're going the team Is playing the poorest ball in the American League and It's up to Connie Mack to get the foolish ness out of his men." Around the Eastern circuit there seems to be a general belief that Hal Clui.se la throwing- Wolverton down and rumor of trades are rife. Wolver ton has de.lled that Chase is to go for Speaker, Johnson or other stars men tioned In the deal, but the feeling that Chase's Illness partially Is feigned re fuses to be so easily disposed of. In his misery and misfortune Wol verton is pulling twery thread that might lead to victory. Last week at Washington he was chased off the field thrice by his dear friend, the ump, to meditate over his troubles. Rain Predictions Made. Rain was predicted for last night or today at tho United Weather Bureau office. Yesterday the temperature maximum was 6s degrees, and before that 0. S and 89 degrees.

"Big Bill" James a 20-year-old pitch ing prototype of Christy Mathewson. made his record of three straight wins yesterday by beating: the Portland Colts 3 to 2. Klving Seattle two of three games to date. James was the entire show, for In addition to tight ening In all the pinches, he came up twice and banged out doubles driving In two of the runs, himself scoring the third on a sacrifice fly which would have counted even If peas peg to the plate hadn't bounded high over Harris' head as Kibble held him at third base. The game proved edifying; and enter taining to the 1151 crowd. From the second Inning to the ninth A 1 to 1 tie score ruled, with spectacular plays sprinkled here and there through the milling to add to the spice, In the seventh Kibble speared a liner with men on second and third and tagged his man for a star play, while in the latter part of the same stanza, Moran, In left Held, gobbled In a drive off Harris' bat, with the bare hand, that was easily the most remarkable circus catch of the season. Strait was on second at the time. Up to the ninth frame the advantage was with the Colts for twice they had the bases full and. had annexed 'eight hits off James to six off Stanfield. But the final gleaning Is what counts. Mc- Mullen, first up in the finisher, lined safely through short, Coltrln knocking the ball down but not In time to catch his man. Whalen sacrificed out, Mensor making an odd unassisted putout at first base. James then banged one against the right field wall and scored McMullen. Coltrln right here showed lmmatured judgment by throwing: home when there wasn t a ghost of a show to catch McMullen. The peg: allowed James to reach third from whence he scored what proved to be the winning; run on Moran s sacrifice fly to Speas. Mensor, as leadoff man for the Colts In the ninth Inning, whanged safely to right held the ball bounding into the walkway connecting the right and centerlield bleachers. A boy fan per ched on the walk tossed the leather down to Weed and Mensor pulled up at third base. It was a block ball, of course, and Coacher Lamllne should have sent his man home, but the un usual mixup did not affect the final reckoning because Williams scored him a moment later by a swat to left field. Manager Nick, however, protested the game so as to get a ruling from President Jones on whether or not a ball that remains on the runway is a home run. As the decision yesterday In no way swerved the tide of battle the Seattle victory will undoubtedly stick. Mensor's triple was his fourth safe hit of the game, the little speed demon beating out two Infield taps for his first two fatteners. Portland seoured the first run or the game in the Initial Inning, after filling the bases with nobody out, on Mensor'a single. Speas' double to right and a fielder's choice. Mensor crossed on Williams' grounder to short, but Strait and Harris both succumbed to the California youth's benders. The Bugs tied the score In the second on McMullen's slow poke to Mensor, Whaling's hit to center and James' first double to right. The box score: Seattle I Portland Ab.H.Po.A.E.I Ab.H.Po.A.E.

Center Fielder Speas made all three put outs In the third Inning. In the fourth, his (leid generalship In playing back against the boards robbed Whaling of a hit. Catcher Whaling, of the Buss, went only from second to third on James double In the second Inning. Evidently he wasn't sure that the ball would aall to the fence. In the fourth Inning the Colta had the bases full, with one out. but James rallied, Speaa and Pries both tapping dinky ground ers to pitcher. Youth showed In James' failure to com plete a double In the fourth when a little headwork would have saved htm the popu lating o( the bags. Kibble bad walked and reached second on Coltrin's hit when Stan field popped unexpectedly to James. The Orovllle kid stood and held the ball when be could have walked over to first and got Coltrln. Jamea has been under contract to Seattle for two seasons, but preferred Grass Valley and Orovllle. Cal.. to league ball. Ha waa recommended to Dngdale by Scofleld. the former Seattle player.

SPORTING SPARKS Vean Gregg's four-hit victory over the ex-Portland pitcher, Bobby Groom, on Tuesday, gives the Cleveland south paw a good start of three victories and one defeat. Washington and ClevelanJ are both well up In the table. A Wallowa fan asks: "If the pitcher fans the batter but catcher drops ball and then throwa man out at first, how is the play scored?" Pitcher is given credit for a strikeout, catcher for an assist and first baseman for a putout. If the catcher overthrows first, pitcher gets the strikeout and the catcher an error. a a a Ward McDowell, the young; outfield candidate, will likely be one of the first men to be turned over to Nick Wil liams by McCredie of the Beavers. Mae now has five gardeners, Krueger, Chad bourne, Doane. McDowell and Stone.
