In Central Oregon, that he I views with distaste the passing of the days which takes him closer to the Korlni- training call for the Pacific I Coast Jaiue baseball season. Rodgeri has not only developed Into a. first-class hunter and trapper, but he has become enamored of the Cen tral Oregon country, and has such faith In Its future that he .has purchased some business property In the city of La, Pine. Crook County, and expects to add to his property holdings wnen ine 1913 season Is at an ena. The ballDlarer and Bill Shanglo. a trapper, are at the head of the West Fork of the Deschutes River, and will tT there nntil late February. The duo have had much success in both hunting and trapping. "The fur in this country is of a very good grade and we have some nice marten and mink pelts to show for our efforts on the tranltne " writes me Beaver caDtaln. "We also bare ex cellent duck, goose and swan shooting. "I hare traveled around and seen I some country sluce I broke into the I game, but the Deschutes River and the outlying districts near La Pine forms about as pretty a country as- I have ever seen. In fact It looks so good to me that I grabbed some, business crooertv In the city of La Pine today. "I am" in the 'pink" and never felt better in my life, and travel from 15 to 20 miles a day over the trapllne -without a struggle.' Dan Howley. the Beaver catcher, will follow the course of President-elect Wilson to Bermuda within a week or two. Dan has bad his eyes on Bermuda for several years and has decided to take a trip to the West Indies before reporting for training camp work next Spring. in a letter to "Dutch" Krueger Dan writes that he is In good Bhape now, having recovered from the injury sus tained to his foot in the final series of the- 1913 campaign, and will be ready for strenuous work in March. Krueger has developed into a dog fancier. A few days ago he was seen about the outskirts of Portland lead ing a pair of bloodhounds, and yester day he announced that Howley is to send bim a pedigreed Boston bull ter rier. Howley is friendly with the manager of Thomas W. Lawson's fa mous kennels, and will send "Dutch" one of the blooded canines for a New Year's gift. "I guess I'll have to take care of the Colts myself next yefir." said W. W. McCredie. the Portland baseball mag nate, yesterday afternoon. "I have of fered to turn the club over to respons ible parties for the money invested in players, but bo far no one seems anxious to buy. I am really sincere In this, believing that it would be to the I best interests of baseball to have more competition In Portland.xbut the aspir ants to the ownership of the North western League club are nil. "I suppose," concluded the "Judge," "that the position of the club in Port land, witi the Coast League able to remove it at any time, has much to do with the Indifference of many men who would like to break into the league as an owner."

League, ha, informed Hap Hogan that the only way for him to get the league to rescind its action in ousting Vernon from the circuit is by calling a spe cial meeting of the directors. As the league officials acted advisedly in re fusing- to permit Vernon to house a Pacific Coast League Club in 1913. there seems to be little likelihood of a change. Frank Xewhouse, trainer of boxers and Coast League umpire, has invented of the feet of catchers and umpires. This plate, which fits over the toes, protects the pedal digits from the many blows the feet receive during a base ball season from low-pitched balls or foul tips. Harry Wolverton believes that Pete Daley, of Los Angeles will become a regular member of Connie Mack's out- field. The new Sacramento manager tried tr ml Pete for Kw. VnrV In t 1 season, but failed. He thinks the ex Angel will last for many years in the majors. Ralph Frary, the former Northwest ern League umpire, and a number of Missoula people are talking of pur chasing-the Spokane franchise of the northwestern League. The tentative offer was 311,000 for the franchise, but Joe Cohn's reply was an emphatic "nay." Joe says that sum wouldn't buy his grandstand, to say nothing of players and franchise. Hap Hogan's Coasters will present another uniform freak to Coaster fans next season. The suits will be striped. of navy blue and white. The same color scheme will be followed in the stockings. On the breast ft each suit will be a tiger head in gold cloth. Huglter Jennings, is a pessimistic chap. He says that Johnny Evers will never get by as Chicago Cub manager. being too nervous to handle a club of "crabbers," and live down the unpop ularity of his owner. v Ahl.i nI Fire to Play Dallas Today.

OREGON HOT BOUND fet 3ff Alumnus or Non-Graduate May Coach Eleven. EARL'S NAME PROMINENT Washington High Football Mentor May Xot Accept Position at Eu . gene Unless It Carries Faculty.' Place. While the University of Oregon is not pledged to the graduate coach football system for the 1913 campaign, the force of alumni opinion makes It probable that a graduate of the Eu gene Institution of learning will be the gridiron mentor next Fall. Of the graduates Virgil D. Earl, successful coach of the Washington High School of Portland, is the most prominently mentioned. The committee appointed to, secure a 1913 coach, composed of Graduate Man ager Geary. Dr. H. B. Leonard and Captain-elect Bradshaw of the eleven, ha8 "ot,.nel? a ??"n5t?'"C"f' with a number of prospective coaches. it is not thought that Louis Plnk- . ..-,,. ..l Tacoma business man who volun- ?ered to COa.Ch the T '"..'"!.!' charge several seasons ajfo, are men tloned In connection with the position. Graduate Manager Geary Is decidedly non-committal regarding next year's f?acb' '"f.1"?, "iS w' y . ,u 1 A . "iV.wlZ tinT met and talked over the available tim ber. While Mr. Earl : is much pleased to have his name mentioned in connection 1th football coacbing at his alma mater, it is. not likely that he would aocept a position as coach. He has a lucrative position as head of the math ematics department at Washington High and the tender of an instructor MP at Oregon, together with the required before he would leave Port land. - Earl attributes much of his success as a high school coacn to nia memoa of handling his charges. He believes that many athletes are killed off in the high schools by too hard work, and. Instead of putting them through the strenuous workouts to which the col legians are subjected, only gives them suniciem wor to ooisier up tneir n UUrance, The average preparatory school coach plays his games In practice, driv ing his bays to their limit, and when they get into a game they have no re serve strength, says coacn n-ari.

CHANCE STICKS TO DEMAND Retirement Threatened in Event New York Does Xot Pay Enough. CHICAGO, Dec. . 27. Frank Chance will not manage the New York Amer ican club unless he receives the salary he demands and a percentage of the club's profits. The salary, he says, is the largest ever demanded by a mana ger of a ball club. In a letter toay to Charles Williams, treasurer of the Chicago Nationals, Chance gave the news of his negotla tions with Frank' Farrell, owner of the New York club. Chance wrote that he really intended to retire from baseball, but since he has the ' opportunity to manage the Highlanders,-' he wants enough money to make it worth while. "I don't think I will get what I have asked for," writes Chance. "My price is steep In fact, the highest ever demand ed by a manager, but I intended to quit the game and now I want to make It worth while. It is a good bet, though, that I will be right out here on my ranch next Summer Instead of on a ball field. It Is paying me better than ever, and I am contented. Still, should Farrell grant me what I want, the probabilities are that I will go." Chance added that he will not go East to discuss the situation with Far rell until tue latter agrees to bis terms. ANDERSON IS PROMISED BOUT Vancouver Mghtivelg-ht Boxer. May 3Ieet Winner Burns-Murphy Mill. Bud Anderson will fight before the Oakland Wheelmen's Club at Oakland. Cal.. meeting either Red Watson or the winner of tbe Burns-Murphy 'mill at San Francisco on January 15 in a 10 round bout. Such is the word that Dick Donald, manager of the Vancou ver lightweight, brings back from Sanl r ranciauu. "We have the bout promised for Jan uary 15," says Donald. "If Bud meets Watson and beats him, he will meet the winner of the Burns-Murphy scrap at either Oakland or San Francisco in February. If Burns is his Oakland op ponent on January 15 and Bud wins, the Northwestern boy is promised a bout with Wolgast or Rivers for February 22. "Anderson is a good drawing card down there, the $1000 side bet offered and stories the boys carried down from Medford boosting his stock to the skies. I believe that Anderson can knock out Burns in eight rounds. He is too strong for any of .these lightweights and has a jolt which would drop a mid dleweight." ' ' SEATTLE ELEVEN DETERMINED Multnomah Rooters Practicing Hard for New. Year's Game. Tom McDonald, manager of the Seat tle All-Stars.-the football aggregation which meets the Multnomah Club eleven in a return game on Multnomah Field on January 1, will arrive in Portland Monday to look after accom modations for his men and asslBt In advertising the final big game of the football season. The Seattle team will arrive in Portland Tuesday, working out once or twice on the field before the game. Rooting will be a feature of the struggle. Lyle Brown, Winged "M" yell leader, already commencing to gather together a band of between 200 and 300 rooters for the vocal end of the fray. The rooters will occupy a section in the grandstand, as they did at the Oregon game on Thanksgiving. Dr. E. J. Stewart, physical director at the Oregon Agricultural - College, does not believe that Multnomah will score an easy victory over the Seattle- ites. He saw the game at Seattle, which went to the clubmen, 15-6. and believes that the Portland team is the best. However, with the Seattle men the under dogs, fighting desperately at TALX1SO OTER THE RULES WITH COACH EARL.. LOWER LEFT COACH all times, and the Multnomah men in cllned to take things easy, confident of victory, he predicts that the game will be a strenuous one, with a low score.

The track team of the Oregon Agri cultural College has practically ar ranged to make the trip to the Uni versity of California track meet in the early Spring.

Whitman will play four games each with the University of Idaho and the Washington State College, the winner of the series to play for the conference champion ship with the winner of the West Side.

The Northwest and Middle West will clash on the gridiron this afternoon. The football athletes of the Wendell Phillips High School, champldns of Chicago, and Washington High School, champions of Portland, meet at o'clock on Multnomah Field to deter mine which city has the best football eleven, and just what difference there is between the brand of football pre sented to fandom of the two sections of the United States. "Wo have a much better chance against Washington High tomorrow afternoon on this field than we had against Boise Christmas day," sala Coach Moulton when taken to Multno man Field with the Wendell Phillips team yesterday afternoon. "The sawdust on this field Is not exactly what we are used to, but then It Is a lot better than the Ice and enow at Boise," continued the coach of the Chicago champions, who will meet Washington, the champions of the Portland Interscholastic League. His band of huskies is in the best or condition and shows no wear from the trip, from the Windy City and tne Boise game. On the trip out Herman was suffering from an Injured foot, but the player will be ready to go into the game at any time his services are needed. Secret practices were held on Mult nomah Field yesterday afternoon ana night. Several new plays were drilled into the boys to take the place of some of the tricks which the coach has been forced to send to the scrap heap on account of the conditions here. Mult nomah Field Is covered with two inches of shavings and this Is not solid enough to suit the Chicago boys. Washington High is fit for battle and the bisr game between the Middle West and the Northwest promises to be as good as the college mixes.

They are fast, and we will have to appear in our best to taae tne game, and we are striving to oeieat them by a greater score tnan coise did, which means that we will play our level best."

The abolition of the non-resident fishing license, at least so far as resi dents of California, Washington ami Idaho are concerned, was advocated last night by the members of the Multnomah Anglers Club. A resolution favoring the issuance of licenses to residents of these three Btates on tho payment of the regular $1 fee for Oregonians, was passed without a dis senting vote. This action is in line with tho pro posed legislation In tho four states named to permit hunters to shoot or anglers to fish in any of the states on payment of the resident fee. In Oregon It coiits $5 for a non-resident fishing license, and all of the states discrim inate against outsiders in hunting. The meeting last night was the most successful of the year, with nearly 160 members gathering in the Commercial Club convention room. In addition to a report from Game Warden Finley, which resulted in the resolution for the abolition of the non-resident fishing license, Ray Winter gave an instruc tive and entertaining illustrated lecture on fishing. A number of slides were shown, depicting fishing scenes. A banquet, open to all anglers and sportsmen of the city, with the rep resentatives till Senators of Multno mah County the guests, will be held in the near future to discuss proposed game legislation.
