In the 1912 baseball, draft Shortstop
Knrrs. of Des Moines: Shortstop
Courtney, of London. Can., and Pitcher
Hynes. of London, but, If the recruits
attain anywhere near their 1912 effi
ciency they w ill be of more use to the
Beavers than the big crop that reported
at Santa Maria last March. Of that
small army. Bancroft was the only
youngster who stuck out the year in
class AA. McDowell. Kibble. Fries,
Burcb and Strait landed in the North
western heap, while a half dozen others
were dropped still further.
The "dope" on the flinger. Malt
Hynes, is of particular Interest In view
of McCredie declaration of intentions
in re the tinwaring- of the veteran
pitchers, Harkness, Kocstner and Suter.
Hvnes is 23 years old and pitched his
first professional ball two years ago
at London in a class D now C league.

Hynes Is a big, tall fallow, weighing
185 pounds and rising 6 feet 2 inches
in the air.
Shortstop Courtney of the same club
batted .316 and fielded in sensational
style. W. H. Rhodes, sporting editor
of the London Free Press, writes of
him as' follows: "Courtney mads a
good many errors but it was his ag
gressiveness that caused it. He should
develop Into a corker for he is a
natural hitter."
Of the trio JlcCredle expects most
from Shortstop Kores. of Des Moines,
of the Western League, class A. Kores

Kores' work can best be judged by
comparing with the records of Coasf

only .213. but dropped down 41 sacrifices

Litschi and Cook both appear slower

shortstops are weaker stickers than the

doesn't expect to stand pat on Kores
alone for he expects another inflelder
for short and third base duty to be
turned over by Cleveland.
Toledo has three first Backers on
hand. Derrick, Hohnhorst and Blue,

Bronkie and McCormick. Portland may
secure Derrick and McCormick. Mc
Cormick hails from St. Paul and is
said to be able to nil In at short, so
with Lindsay. Bancroft, Kores and one
of the Toledo or Cleveland additions,
these two important positions should
Via well cared for.
"We will have both Hynes and

W. McCredie yesterday. "They will

Following la a clipping from the
London Free Press anent Pitcher
Hvnes:
"Matt Hynes. the great London
Tiitcher. who reports to the Portland
team of the Pacific Coast League early
In March, was born in Cargill 23 years
ago. The elongated Canadian League
nroduct is being spoken of as the most
likelv man to be held by the Coast
League for a thorough tryout this com
Ini- season. His record while a mem
ber of the London team has been looked
unon as sufficient to warrant his Join
in a- a class AA club. His build is
what seems to impress the Portland
leader. W. H. McCredie. He stands
feet 1 inches in height and weighs
185 Dounds in condition.
"He fielded .976 and hit .217 last
season, winning 20 games out of 28
pitched. It stamps him as one of the
best twirlers in the Canadian circuit
Portland is a city of over 200.000 popu

Portland and Oakland appear to be
the two Coast League clubs still cast

SEATTLE TILT DECEMBER 21
Return Gridiron Clash to Be Staged
In Portland New Tear's Iay.
Superintendent Walker Not
Fearful ' of Losing Stars.
The Multnomah Club football huskies
will not meet the Pendleton All-Stars
this Fall. Thanksgiving day the Pen
dleton High School eleven wallopsd
their heavier opponents 8 to 3 and that
was as much as signing a death war
rant on all negotiations, with the
Winged M" authorities. At that rate
Multnomah could trample over them
about 76 to nil.
We couldn't get the bunch to take
that long Jaunt out there anyway for
return game, said Superintendent
Walker, of the club last night. "The
only remaining games are those with
the Seattle All-Stars in Seattle Decem
ber 1 and in Portland January 1.
Superintendent Walker laughed when
questioned about the probable loss of
many of his stars next au by retire
ment.
'We will be sorry to lose such stars
as Clarke, wour. Hickson, mnenari
and Ludlam," said he. "But we haven't
lost any of them yet. They always
close the season auspiciously by say
ing farewell and open it by repenting
at the first thud of the pigskin."
"The greatest football machine that
ever held a championship in Southern
California," said Owen Byrd, in the
Los Angeles Times, when Occidental
College laced Pomona for the title by a
score of S3 to 13.
That being the case all the more
credit to Sam Dolan and his Oregon
Aggies, who walloped Occidental on
Turkey afternoon 20 to 6, for Southern
California has turned out some crack
teams at Occidental, Pomona, St. Vin
cents and Sherman Indian lnstltote.
The Aggies were playing with a badly
crippled eleven, too.
Although Coach Dolan loses his star,
Kvenden, Chrlsman and perhaps May,
the stellar tackle, his outlook for 1918
is most encouraging. Moore, the 200
pound guard, should be ripe for tackle
duty, while Hofer, with the year's ex
perience, is bound to be one of the best
men in the conference. Hofer is a grit
ty fellow.
Sitton, Kellog and May are all four-
year players next FalL Kellog made
distinct hit with most of the critics.
Dobie, of Washington, characterised
him as next to Sutton, the best end in
the conference. He surely looked it in
the Washington game on Multnomah
Field. Kellogg's one bad game was
against Oregon in the 3-0 defeat at
Albany, but conditions were all against
hira in that direful encounter. He is
one of the most likable and deserving
boys in the Northwest and should prove
i tower of strengtn next season.
Fourteen men won the varsity "TV
n football at the University of Wash.
ington this year. They are as follows:
Jacauots. Miller, Shiel, Dorman and
Young in the backfield; Sutton, leader,
Clark and Hunt at ends; Ellss and
Patten at tackles: Orltriths and Ander
son at guards and Presley at center.
Miller. Hunt and Clark are freshmen.
Miller comes from Vancouver High
s-hool. Leader is a former Portland
HIa-h School star. His twin orotner
nlavs the tackle position but lacked
three minutes of play of winning his
letter. Sweaters and letters will be
presented to the winners Wednesday
at 'a big student assembly.
BROWN VISITS WALLA WALLA
Vancouver Team May Train at In
land Empire City.
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Dec. 4.
(Special.) Bob Brown, owner of the
Vancouver, B. C Northwestern League
team, was in Walla Walla for sn hour
Monday night and canvassed the situ
ation with August Bade, who acted as
manager of the Walla Walla club in the
Western Trl-state League. Brown said
that the grounds at Vancouver are be
ing put in shape and if they prove to
be. as he fears, too sort tor eany
practice, he wants to bring the team
to Walla Walla for Spring training.
The climatic conditions here suit hira,
he declared, and the ball park, which
is but a few minutes' walk from the
hotels, he pronounced alluring.
Joseph Cohn, the Spokane manager,
trained the Indians here last season
but is now flirting with Boise. The
Walla Walla people did not turn out
as well to "exhibition games" as Cohn
liked and he left with a bad taste.
Brown said he did not expect to make
money in his training season and would
be perfectly satisfied if the weather
was good and his men got in good
shape.
Brown is well-known in Walla Walla.
In 1903 he and George Stovall, now
manager of the St.-Louis team, played
with Pendleton, which with Walla
Walla, helped make up a small league
here. Brown last season had Fem
brooke and Augustus farmed out to
Pendleton and he has Just been there
to learn something of how they worked.
He was on his way to Spokane Mon
day night and stopped over, telegraph
ing ahead for the talk with Bade.

a struggle with Bobble Burns. Gladys

BASKET TOSSERS NUMBERED
New Rules Require Identification on
All Players.
Although the numbered uniform will
not be seen on Western baseball play
era next season, the system of player
Identification as used by the Pacific
Coast League during 1914 will be I
feature of the coming basketball sea
son. One of the rule innovations for
1912-13 college basketball is one re
quiring all players to wear numbers
on their backs, the laentincation marKs
to be at least six inches high and one
Inch wide.
The difficulty of Identifying players
on the basketball floor is much more
pronounced than in baseball, owing to
the rapidity of action. The need of
such a rule has been apparent for years
and when the rules committee met one
of the first matters to receive atten
tion was the numbered uniform.
Other changes in the rules as dis
closed by Spalding's Collegiate Basket
ball Guide for 1912, are: "When a ball
goes out of bounds without touching a
Dlaver in transit it goes to the first
player touching it out of bounds; when
the ball is dead it shall be given to
the nearest eligible player at the point
where it crossed the line; when a free
throw is awarded the trial must be
made under the control of the referee,
within ten seconds of the time the
referee places the ball on the free
throw line."
The new book is profusely illustrated
with fine half-tones of college teams,
and contains records of play for last
year, list of coaches and managers, etc.
A chanter is devoted to interpretations,
modifications and explanations of the
new rules.

nity basketball season at the Univer
sity of Oregon will start Friday, when
the teams from the Alpha Tau Omega
and Sigma Nu fraternities are sched
uled to meet in the opening contest.
This organization has done much to
stimulate interest in basketball and de

of its existence. It was started in 1910,
when Trainer Hayward put up a silver
cup as a championship trophy, to be
come the permanent property of the
fraternity or club finishing at the head

ago, while Miebus will clash with Gil
Martin, a well-known Canadian ath

Amateur Athletics.
Owing to the absence of several of
the football players the election of
captain for the next season at Hill
Military Academy was again postponed
a day or two. Many of the players
have quit school and there is a pos

off until next year when a full team
will be on hand. McAUen has dropped
his studies and is working for the rail
road while Metcalf, a post graduate,
has quit with the intention of going to
Stanford University in a month or so.
