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:

Notes of the Game.
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.
Manager Barry will send Fullerton In to
day, facing Eaatley. one of Kick Williams"
stable of hurling stars.

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.

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.
McDowell Is a promising youngster, and
Nick Williams says he will surely find
a place for him in his outfield, for
Ward is a hard-hitting, quicK-minklng
lad.

An Oakland player is credited with
the statement that the trouble with the

William Pangle, manager of the

are at the plate and raised for the op
position. Henle Stelger, Beaver pitcher,
says Louisville worked this novel

ball and makes for safe hits.
Houck. the Portland lad, started for
the Athletics yesterday, but was re

gave way to Plank. Philadelphia beat
the fast-stepping Chicago Sox 8 to .
Houck must have developed a wild
streak, for the Sox secured only six
hits off all three pitchers.
