Williams Majr Start Training North
or Sacramento and Practice In
Each or Three Towns ror
Week, Is Announced.
BV JAMKS II. CAPSEL.U.
Tf th Portland Beavers do not ob
tain the best and cheapest training
quarters in the history of their annual
Spring jaunts to California, it will not
be because competition for the honor
anil il vertlsinr accruing from such a
visitation Is lacking- No less than four
tan Joanuln Valley points rresno.
Viil CnaHnpa Portrvllle and lu
Jare are angrlinK for Walt McCredie
bantl. while one other town. Bakers-
field, is in a receptive mood.
Ten days ao the Beaver manager
looked with favor on Fresno, and Issued
an unofficial bulletin to the effect that
the raisin center would greet ine
Beavers for a week or two. after which
the squad of ball players would jour
nev across the mountains to Howard
Springs, near San Francisco. But with
the malls, usually swamped with ap
plications from "bustiers." now produc
ing nnthins- but appeals to assist in
placing this or that locality on th
baseball map, "Mac " Is up in me air.
"Looks to me like I'll have to take
a trip down there to look over, the
Situation." worried the Beaver boss yes
terday afternoon upon receipt of the
latest and most elowiner recital of the
climatic supremacy of the Interior of
California.
"I don't want to go down there until
time for the boys to start in their
work, but with all of these towns pre
senting such splendid opportunities, it's
tip to me to discover which is really the
best place."
Th six clubs of the Northwestern
League paid salaries to 209 ballplayers
last season who figured in the box
scores. Other men were under contract,
but the Spring-training weeding -out
process barred them from participation
in the official averages of the "Little
A" league.
Seattle, the pennant winner, was the
freak of the circuit. Ordinarily a team
which wins a diamond championship
makes fewer changes than any of its
brother clubs: the records of pennant
struggles usually disclose this fact.
But Seattle topped the list of clubs for
the number of men used, the figures
showing 17 players who wore Bug togs
during the 168-game season.
"A tribute to managerial ability"
commented Fielder Jones, president of
the league, when a ferreting into his
record books had revealed Seattle's
standing. "A club which experiments
with players as Seattle did seldom fin
ishes in the first division, much less at
the top. and the manager or owner who
pulls his team through a season of
changes and wins a pennant is to be
complimented as well as congratulated."
Portland and Vancouver each used 36
men during the season, with Tacoma
and Spokane 34 and Victoria 32. Vic
toria, the luckiest of the sextet, went
through half a season with remark
ably few changes, but Injuries and ad
verse luck necessitated a scramble for
r.ew men toward the fag end of the
campaign.
This figure. 207 men, includes the
rlayers switched from one club to
another. As the clubs indulged in a
record-breaking number of transfers
last season, several men appearing in
three lineups, the figure on the exact
number of men in the league would
fall below 200.
Nick Williams, the Colt leader, has
practically decided upon a road train
ing season, starting in at a point Just
fcorth of Sacramento and spending a
week in each of three towns, with ex
hibition games sandwiched in.
"We should start in about the middle
of March, giving the boys a month to
prepare for the opening on April 15."
says the Northwestern League man
ager. "Instead of staying practically
all of the time at one place, and then
leaving just a few days before the
season's opening. If we give the boys
a week's work in three different towns,
with plenty of exhibition games, and
then play our way Into shape up to
. Portland, the team will be better pre
pared to start right at Spokane for
the opening series."
The Colts will play an exhibition
pame in Portland on Sunday, April 13,
"Red" Rupert's team being the prospec
tive opponent.
With 23 players, exclusive of him
self, under contract or reserve for 1813,
the blonde manager of the Colts is
paying scant attention to the applica
tions from the numberous youngsters
who want it chance to help Nick win
the Fielder Jones bunting. Williams
announced yesterday that with one or
two exceptions he would sign no more
players.
"In addition to the 23 men I have
now, McCredie is sure to give me three
or four good ones, so what's the use
of trying to work every "busher" In
the world into a joft," comments Nick.
The following is the list of men, in
cluding 13 pitchers, under contract or
reserve to the Colts: Catchers. Burch,
Harris, Murray (Hawarth may be
added to these soon); right-handed
pitchers, Cooney, Rhyne, Crespl, Eastley,
Doty, Agnew, Bloomfield, May, Wills;
' left-handed pitchers, Callahan, Suter,
Girot; infielders, Williams, Guigni, Col
trln. Barker: outfielders, Mahoney,
Crulksbank. Fries, Dougherty, Varian.
The additions from the Beavers are
expected to be infielders, with one or
two outfielders.
Bill Bloomfield. the "parson" of the
.Colts, is expected to be one of the
first to report at training quarters,
: despite the declaration of the sandy
slabster that he would play no more
ball, but devote his attention to busl-
1 ness at Antioch, CaL Walt McCredie
received a letter from California the
other day conveying the information
that Bloomfield is loosening up his arm
on ever sunny day, preparing for the
next campaign.
While Williams hopes to count Bill
Speas among bis regulars next season,
lie thinks that the Colt inflelder-out-flelder
will be used by the St. Louis
Cards as a utility outfielder, to bat
against the left-handed, pitchers.
A letter was received yesterday at
SIcCredic's billiard parlors addressed:
"Cy Toung, manager Portland baseball
club." Some youngster who read of
the report that Cy was to become a
l'ortland boss evidently is after a berth.
Fines in the Northwestern Leagufc

FARRELL MAY VISIT CHAXCE
Highlander President Hopes to Get
Californlan to Act.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30. Unless in the
meantime he should bear from Frank
L. Chance. Frank Farrell, president of
the New York Americans, probably will
leave next week for California to con
sult with the former manager of the
Chicago Nationals on the subject of
Chance coming here to take charge of
the Highlanders.
Mr. Farrell said today he was greatly
Interested in Chance's letter of last
week to Charles Williams, treasurer of
the Chicago Nationals, in which he said
he wanted "enough money to make it
worth while," to manage the local
Americans.
Mr. Farrell added that he knew the
New York public would be greatly dis
appointed if he failed to get Chance
and declared that he would do every
thing within reason to get tne ..au
fornlan in line for the managerial
berth here.
He added that the time for dicker
ing was nearly ended and he desired
to know where he stood in the matter.
BASKETBALL TAKES RING
IXDOOR SPORTS BEG IX TX EARN'-
EST AT HIGH SCHOOLS.
Interscholastic Schedule Starts In
Two Weeks and Teams Will Be
Whipped Into Shape at Once.
Now that the last big football game
is out of the way, the Washington
High School wilt go in for basketball
with a vengeance m an attempt to
make up for lost time. Coach ten
stermacher has been tied down to the
financial end of the game with Wen
dell Phillips and was able to get out
for only two practices a week. Several
of the basketball stars were also mem
bers of the football squad, so they,
too, found enough to do in just the one
sport
Knoutf and Foster, Doin memoers ui
the last year basketball team of the
F.ast Side High School, were necessary
members of the football team, but
now, with that sport on the shelf, they.
too, will attend the dally renearsais oi
the Winter indoor game.
None of the schools have as yet
fatten on anv outside teams for trips,
although several games may be played
before the Interscholastic league
schedule starts, two weeks hence. Jef
ferson has a game with the Clatskanie
High School quint, but the date is un
certain. It was originally slated for
tonight, but the Jefferson players want
ed to stay in Portland and help rout
1912.
Washington may again play the
University of Oregon freshmen, but
the date of that game is another un
certainty. It will be after the Inter
scholastic season, however.
Portland Academy and Columbia
University are both doubtful questions
and the fans are wondering what they
will bring out. Portland Academy has
one of the best coaches in the game to
be found in the city. P. W. Lee is
handling the men. He has been
building championship teams in the Y.
M. C. A. for years.
Columbia University lost Fitzgerald,
one of the most wonderful basketball
players the interscholastics have ever
produced. He Is being mentioned as a
probable center on the Notre Dame
University five. His loss is one to be
felt, but the second team men of last
year are a better lot than -the average.
From these Coach Callicrate expects to
builu a team as strong as any which
the school has had.

NEW MARK IS GOAL
Flash of Speed Expected in
Boat Races Tomorrow.
VAMOOSE IS WOW FEARED
26-Foot Champion, With' Engine
From AVIgwam II, Shows Rate
Approaching 50 Miles and
4 3-. 2 Miles Present Record.
A new motor-boat record for the Pa
cific Coast may be hung up at the
New Year's special races, which the
Portland Motor-Boat Club will hold on
the Willamette River tomorrow morn
ing. The present record of 42.2 miles
an hour is held by the Oregon Wolf, the
Pacific Coast champion for the last
three years.
Rumor has it that the Vamoose, the
speedy 26-foot champion owned by Cap
tain Milton Smith, of Rainier, Or., has
been making 46 and 47 miles an hour
with his hull equipped with the engines
of the Wigwam II, the Astoria speeder.
This is plausible enough to many of
the local fans. The Vamoose made the
fastest mile at the last Astoria regatta,
clipping it off in 1 minute and 32 sec
onds, several seconds faster than the
best time of the Wolf.
50-JIile Rate Reached.
In all its races, the motive power was
the losing factor and if a steady engine
can be placed in the hull the local fens
will not be surprised to see the Rainier
boat perform wonders. According to
the gossipy dame, the Wigwam engine,
none too reliable in its own hull, has
found a good berth in the bed of the
Vamoose and has been tearing up the
water of the Columbia at a speed close
to 60 miles, without even sputtering.
Smith, at first unwilling to bet on
his boat, is now after a share' of the
pot, but Wolf cannot see him.
"I, for my part, will let captain
Smith come into the race pot for the
New Year's speedboat event if he will
put UP 1500,'' says John E. Wolff, pilot
and builder of the Oregon Wolf, the
Pacific Coast champion, which will de
fend its title on the Willamette River
tomorrow morning against the Swas
tika, the 20-footer owned by R. F. Cox,
and the Vamoose.
Chance la Taken.
"When the race was first talked
about, Mr. Cox and myself put up our
$250 in good faith as good sports.
Captain Smith at that time was un
certain as to what his boat could do
with the Wigwam engine and did not
want to take a chance. My boat was
in the "boneyard" and I knew that I
would not have time to put the boat
In shape, yet I took e chance.
."Now reports come from down the
river that his boat is making between
46 and 47 miles an hour. At the same
time comes the statement that he will
enter the pot with the racer, knowing
that with the engine in any shape at
all he will probably clear J500 without
trouble."

Tom Macdonalti Adds Bibby, Reed,
and Oglevie to Team That Plays
Keturn Gridiron Engagement
Against Winged "M" Men.
SEATTLE. Dec. 30. (Special.) With
reinforcements in Ernest Bibby, the
former 185-pound South Dakota star
who is now assistant coach at the Uni
versity of Idaho: J. Reed, the Navy
Yara quarterback, and Oglevle, the
Navy's big 200-pound tackle, the Wash
ington Athletic Club football team will
present a much stronger front when it
meets Multnomah New Year's than it
did in the game here a week an.
The local team leaves here Tuesday
at 10 o'clock, arriving In Portland in
time to get a good night's rest before
the game. Manager Tom , MacDonald
announces he will take 17 players on
the trip, which gives him two men for
all the important positions.
Ike Down. left end, who suffered a
badly-fractured finger in the game
here, is still in the hospital. The break
is an unusually bad one and slight
blood-poisoning has confined Mm to his
bed. Bibby will take his position at
the left extremity. Johnny Bender came
in for considerable criticism here after
the last game because he did not run
off as many plays as some of his team
mates and fans thought he ought and
because he' resorted too much to punt
ing, but Johnny will be at .the pivot
again New Tear s and will only witn
draw when he sees fit in favor of Reed,
the new substitute quarter.
Emil Hauser, the stocky Indian
whose bad ear slowed him up in the
clash with the winged "M" players
here, is in better shape now and he is
expected to be up to his usual form.
The Hauser of the Navy-Yard game and
the Hauser of the Multnomah game
were entirely different persons, and if
the Navy-Yard Hauser is let loose at
Portland the Multnomah line and back
field will have a harder time of it than
they had before.
MacDonald's team laid off active
work until after Christmas, but since
then have practiced daily. The men are
all in fine shape, having fully recovered
from what bruises they sustained. Ex
cept for Hauser's ear, which is still ten
der, all the men are tit.
MacDonald has taught his men sev
eral new plays and Bender has prom
ised to mix the plays a little more ana
nut Multnomah on tne aerense. Max
Eakins will punt when it la really nee
essary, but the Seattle men prefer not
to have the game turned into a punting
duel.
CLVB TEAM IS WORIOXG HARD
Every Multnomah Player
Goes
Through Practice, Despite Rain.
Multnomah Club football athletes are
not to be caught napping by Tom Mc
Donald's All-Stars when the rival grid
iron warriors clash on Multnomah Field
at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Con
ndent by virtue of the 15-6 victory over
the Seattleltes on the enemy s neia, ana
cocksure of adding another win to the
tally of three already chalked up
against McDonald's selections, yet the
Multnomah boys are working as strenu
ously for the game as though almost
certain defeat stared them in the face.
Too vit-Vi ATarHn Pratt sent his
charges out on the rain-soaked sawdust,
while "ye manager" wrestled strenu
ously over a bridge whist table. Every
member of the squad was on hand for
the disagreeable duty. Tonight the
same course will be pursued, Pratt,
Walker, Hurlburt and the other "higher
ups" discarding tne usual root u
action" rule in favor of a final tussle
with the signals and the Juggling ot
the slippery oval.
Word comes down from Seattle max
the Washington Athletic Club this is
the name the All-Stars perform under
eleven, stung by the recollection oi
three straight defeats in two seasons,
has decided that the cycle of disaster
has been completed, and that tomorrow
is the day'upon which it is due to crush
the vanquishers. The bitterness of oft
repeated defeat has imbued the Seattle
ltes with a spirit of do-or-die deter
mination which bodes ill for the two or
three-touchdown margin some of the
over-zenthuslastic Bcarlet and white ad
mirers are willing to wager their
money on.
"A one-touchdown victory" is as far
as Superintendent Walker, an old Mult
nomah Club football star. Manager
Pratt and Captain Hurlburt are wining
to commit themselves. If they have
beliefs or "hunches" to the contrary.
they are kept behind locked doors.
Portland fans, the same fellows who
made Seattle a favorite for the Decem
ber 21 tussle, are backing Multnomah
for the coming fray. Odds on the game
are at 10-7 ana xu-s, wun mo
pects for a tumble a notch lower ere
the teams line up lor tne reieree a
whistle. The one victory already this
season, together wun ine ouvaumst
which the home field is expected to give
the clubmen, is responsible ror ine
odds. However, many remember the
narrow margin of success on Mult
nomah Field last season, z-o, alter a
9-0 conquest at Seattle, and they can
not figure the Portland eleven many
notches above an even-money oeu
As in the Seattle game, tne visitors
will outweigh the Winged "M" lads four
pounds to a man. That same mass of
brawn will be marshalled along the
line, with the backfleld inferior in
weight to that of the tnrice-victors.
Tom McDonald, manager of the All
Stars, together with his squad, are due
in Portland this morning.
WEAVER ALTERS HIS BATTIXG
Buck Now Says He Can Hit With

nTTCAfiO. Dec. SO. Buck Weaver,
the Chicago American shortstop, while

Buck has told Callahan that when

When Fans Stop and Think It Over
They Pick Nehraskan to Win In

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 30. (Spe
cial. Lutber McCarty has been pro
nounced fit by nis manager. Billy Mc
Carney, and tomorrow will take it
easy, although it is on schedule for
him to box three rounds to keep his
footwork limbered up. Because of
this' particular attention to his feet the
fans have it doped out that Luther will
not stand in the middle of the ring
and slug with his bull-like tenacity,
but will keep moving to avoid the
rushes and then step in and slam the
big fellow.
Although it is usual to take a com
plete rest the last day before a fight,
both managers believe it folly to let
their charges get "cold," figuring that
the big muscles of the men might be
come sluggish by a day of inactivity.
In fact, Palzer is going to do one of
his hardest days work tomorrow, as
O'Rourke wants to keep the big Ger
man keyed up to the highest pitch
mentally and physically.
McCarly's Hand Kxamlned.
The betting is stil even, as McCarty
monev from the "wise ones Is onset
tine Palzer's popularity with the
masses.
When men go away to think it over,
they pick McCarty. but when they look
at Palzer they "fall" for tho big fel
low and say he's unbeatable.
McCarty's hand was put under an
X-ray today and the photograph shows
not the least sign of injury. Dr.
Richardson worked out the soreness
by an hour's treatment Sunday and
yesteiday said the hand was in excel
lent condition and should not bother
the fighter in the least. He says Mc
Carty is In fine shape, but despite his
admiration, believes that Palzer will
win. He was born near Al's home
town.
Ad Wolgast says he believes Palzer
has never been extended and will win.
Mrs. McCarty believes McCarty will
win inside of 10 rounds. "He always
does," is her woman's reason.
Goodwill Is on Deck.
Nat Goodwin is here to pick a win
ner. He was one of those who
trimmed Wolgast and Jones in the
Wc'Jarty-Flynn fight. The fans are
watching him for the right hunch.
Charley Horne,,' Palzer's sparring
partner, is called home to San Fran

Spokane Manager Says He Has Men

Good Enough for Him.
SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 30. (Spe
cial.) "I am ready to stand pat with
tho players I have signed now," said
Joe Cohn today, "and any player that
Is added to the list from now on will
have to be there strong enough for me
to see good reasons for signing him.
"The pitchers that I have signed for
the coming season look good to me. 1
have Toner, Kraft, Billiard, Leonard,
Covelaski, Johnson and about 15 others
signed for the training trip and the
bunch looks good enough. I have a
chance of getting either Strand, Thomp
son or Gervais from the Boston club.
"The infield and outfield look good.
With Ten Million, Powell and Mel
choir in the outfield Spokane won't
have to worry. In the Infield the first
base position is the only one that wor
ries me and I have been promised a
player or two for that job by big
league heads.
The club looks better on paper this
year than it did last year at the same
time and I wish it were time to start
the training work."
Although Cohn says he is willing to
stand pat. he still has strings out for
two or three youngsters to add to his
list for the season of 1913.

CUBS' SCHEDULE IS AXXOUXCED
Murphy to Select Training Camp
Site in Florida.
TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 30. C. W. Murphy,
president of the Chicago National

Spring training. He announced the
Spring schedule of games for the Cubs,
