Consideration Is Said to Be In Xeigh boriiood of $3000 Twlrler Also Has Batting Prowess. The fourth big major league pitching sale of the 1912 Northwestern League season was consummated yesterday afternoon, Ed Watkins, owner of the Tacoma Tigers, selling Ben Hunt, his big southpaw moundman, to the Chi cago White Sox for Fall delivery. Hunt brought in the" neighborhood of S3000. Ted Sullivan, White Sox scout, took a good look at the big Tiger pitcher last week at Seattle, and was so im pressed with his work that he imme diately opened negotiations with Wat kins and Manager Lynch, closing the deal with a wire yesterday afternoon accepting terms. Hunt was purchased from Sacra mento early this season for a few hun dred dollars, Charlie Graham, of the Senators, figuring that the ex-Red Sox would be unable to "come back" this season after an attack of typhoid pneu monia last year. However, Hunt has made such a splendid showing with a losing club that he is again in line for a chance In the "big show." Count off the southpaws in the majors who look as good as Hunt," demanded Mike Lynch in discussing the deal, "and you'll find that there are few up there who have anything on Ben. Those fellows would give al most anything for a big left-hander, and Hunt is the fellow who can deliver the goods." Hunt la 25 years old, ' weighs 198 pounds, stands six feet three Inches high, and, in addition to possessing speed, curves and a change of pace, hits the ball as hard as an outnelder. Strange to say the sandy giant started his professional baseball career with Tacoma in 1908. He pitched only one game for Russ Hall, which he won, and then went to California. Hall sold him to Salt Lake In 1909,' and Salt Lake in turn sold him to the Boston Ameri cans. He was turned over to Sacra mento and then went back to Boston. Boston placed him at Sacramento again in 1911, and then came the typhoid pneumonia, which almost caused his death, and led the. Senatorial .manage ment to consider that his best pitching days were over. Hunt's sale, a half interest in the prospective sale of Charley Schmuts to the Phillies, and another deal or two which may be soon closed, are ex pected to give Watkins a shade more than an even break financially this season. He refuses to name the exact figure of the Hunt deal, but says It is for cash, with no player consideration, and is as good as any sale In the league this season outside of the James-Whaling deal. Sullivan has purchased two pitchers from the Northwestern League for 1913, Jimmy Clark, ' the Vancouver right hander, and Hunt. Clark is so well thought of that Pittsburg is reported to be dickering with Chicago In an effort to secure the youngster. -The Boston Nationals have taken two pitch ers, Wynn Noyes, of Spokane, and Bill James, of Seattle, for next yer, while Bert .Whaling, the Seattle, backstop, figured In the deal for James. Sullivan, along with Kinsella, the Cardinal scout and Drenna, who repre sents Connie Mack, will be In Portland soon. Kinsella- Is due today to look lover Kibble, while Sullivan wires he knew - what 4-r1& tit frnm among the foremost artists . , Sixth will be here Thursday or Friday to take a look at both clubs. CENTURY BOAT RACE IS PLAN Run From Portland to Astoria May Feature' August Regatta. A Portland-to-Astorla motorboat race may be one of the features of the Astoria regatta of late August. Port land owners, headed by C. V. Cooper, have taken the matter up with the As toria officials and hope to have a trophy donated for the winner of the pros pective event. "A race from Portland to Astoria for a motorboat record has never Deen attempted -and I am certain it would be a fine feature of the regatta," says Mr. Cooper. "It Is only 100 miles to Astoria ana I think the winning boat could nego tiate the distance in little over three hours. I am confident that the Phar malee, my boat, can establish a record which will stand for some time, while George W. Kendall is certain the Sylph can be'at the river. Other owners are strong for the event, and much friendly rivalry would result in a keen competition." XATIOXAL CHAMPIOXS LOSE Little and Touchard Defeated Easily by McLoughlfn and Bundy.
