SURPRISE OF YEAR
Wolverton in Difficult Place
With Two Deposed Man
agers in His Lineup.
RECRUITS APPEAR STRONG
Sacramento eds Only Third Base

tle Catching Department
Seems to Be Best In League.
BY ROStOE AWCETT.
Stranpe that while the newspapers
re bubbling- over with conjectures as
to how Frank Chance and Johnny
Kvers will harmonize with Hal Chase
and Roirer Bresnahan. former man-
asr-sr. now privates In the New York
and Chirazo ranks, nobody has even so
much as raised an eyebrow at the Sac
ramento situation in the Pacific Coast
League.
Yet. Harry AVolverton. former Oak
and New York American boss, faces
the mnFt unusual tak ever assigned
to a newly-named manaerer. Wolver
ton will have under him tv.o deposed
managers of the Sacramento Senators.
Patsy O'Rourke. second baseman, and
Tacon" Van Buren, outfielder.
O'Rourke manasred the club In 1 1 1 1
and the first half of 1512. when his
failure to enforce discipline ai:d his
vtrenuosity on the playing field, re
sulted in his summary decapitation.
Van Buren then got the job. Van is
one of the most likeable fellows In
the league, but, as a manager, the
veteran was about as useful as buttons
on the tail of a coat.
Consequently the new owner of the
Senators craspfd at the opportunity to
lrn Harry Wolverton. and. by so do-
jnff. slipped over a prood thing- on San
Francisco, which could have used Wol
verton mighty ndva ntaeeously.
Whether or not Wolverton is to du
plicate his Oakland first division build
in:? at Sacramento, time alone will dem
onstrate, but the lavish manner in
which he is raiding the Kastern vine
yards for talent is making more than
one (-oast magnate sit up and scowl at
mention of Atkins. At any rate no
body expects, any friction between the
silver-topped Harry and the erstwhile
managerial aspirants, for Wolverton
possesses the happy faculty of know
Ins: how to rule with an iron hand yet
holding the confidence and respect of
his nen.
Wolverton will likely parlfy O'Rourke
by naming him field captain.
" With the possible exception of a new
, third baseman Sacramento's 1913 line
up is practically ready for the call to
" battle. The Senators lose only Short

Jake late in the year. Inasmuch as
Wolverton has signed eight or nine
- nign-ciass recruits, wno are sure to
- raise the standard of past Senatorial
play, it begins to look as though Sac
ramento will be quite an important fac
tor in the coming campaign.
Wolverton'a present roster is as fol
lows: Catchers Jack Bliss, Harry Cheek,
Red" Krictz, Reltzmeyer.
Pitchers Arelianes. Munsell. Peters,
Alberts, Harden. Wiliams. Fitzgerald,
piroun, uructie. uuiigan, iiarper, rrinic.
First base Miller. " '
Second base Joe O'Rourke.
Shortstop Dolly Stark.
Third base Irclan.
Outfielders Kenworthy. Moran, Van
tluren. Swain. Lewis, Shinn.
Utility Al Ileister.
'
Jactc Bliss, former Cardinal, will
greatly bolster the Senators back stop
ping department. Cheek proved a good
little catcher last season but Krietz,
purchased from Chicago for $2500, was
one of the bloomers of the season. Any
one of the Coast managers would gladly
have welcomed Bliss to bis camp. 1th
him as first catcher and Cheek as at
ternate the Sacramento backstop corps
win bo fully ow per cent stronger.
Stroud and Drucke are the notable
pitching additions. Both hall from the
international League. Drucke won
eight and lost six for Toronto. Dolly
Stark, the new shortstop, was pur
chased from Uuffalo in the Interna
tional. He does not appear to be much
of a hitter, his record being .2P.5, but
Is said to be a bear on defense.
The Senators will show the greatest
Improvement in the outfield where Jim

sure of a berth. Kenworthy, a .335 hit

Southern league, nre the new figures.
ith Wolverton at the helm the Sen
a dors. In any event, will not be the joy
club of the past season or two.
Justin Fltzsrersld. Portland outfield
speed demon, has lost none of his celer
ity. The other day in San Francisco
the kid college phenom discovered his
San Mateo car two blocks down the
street gathering momentum with every
twist of the motor. With a hasty eood
bye to his friends he took up the scent
and overhauled the rear platform before
it had gone another 300 feet.
Toward the close of the 1912 season
the directors of the Los Angeles club
presented Pop Dillon with a hand
some split-second timepiece. Whether
or not that had anything to do with
the slow-footed Dillon's retirement in
favor of Dr. Gill is a mystery, but Dil
lon evidently Intends to make use of
his present. He has announced that he
will hold the stop-watch on all his re
cruits this Spring to see how fast they
can go down the paths.

SENATORS
EX-LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION
E IS VISITED
Ad Wolgast Pays Tribute to
Jack Dempsey's Memory.
BOXER CHATS CF HIS RISE
Kx-t Iiunipioti Toils of Days When He
Thought $15 Too Much for Fight
er and Considered $2 Plenty
of Monry for Hard Scrap.
Ad Wolgast. ex-lightweight boxing
champion, and W. 11. Parrlsh, of Grand
Rapids. Mich., the men who gave the
Cadillac youth hiy first ring chance,
paid tribute to the memory of Jack
Dempsey, famous middleweight of two
decades ago, yesterday afternoon. The
duo, accompanied by friends and rela
tives, visited Dempsey's grave in Mount
Calvary Cemetery, and laid an ever
green wreath on the spot.
Both Wolgast and Parrish are keen
admirers of the old-time bare-knuckle
fighter and for 15 years it has been
the ambition of Mr. Parrish to gaze
upon the spot where lies the body of
the great ringster. The Grand Kapids
man realized his hope yesterday after
noon, gazing; upon the marble slab
which marks the resting place of the
famous "Nonpareil."
Instead of the ill-kept and unmarked
spot Parrish expected to have pointed !
out as the last earthly resting place of
the great rlngman. who died In Port
land in 1S96, green grass and hand
some marble slab mark the spot where
lies the body of the redoubtable tighter
who had the effrontery to challenge
John L. Sullivan when the heavyweight
was in his prime.
F.I Kb t Visit Grave.
Those who composed the party to
Mount Calvary Cemetery were: Ad
Wolgast and wife, W. H. Parrish and
wife, M. B. Davis and wife, of Portland
Jack King and James II. Cassell.
Wolgast and Parrish are having the
time of their lives chatting over the
days when Ad considered a $15 purse
too much money for a fighter, and rated
the $2 he received for his first mill
stupendous emolument.
"I was running a saloon back In
Cadillac when WolcasL then a bare
footed youngster, began to bother me,
insisting that he have a chance to
tight. commenced Parrish when tell
ing his nrst experiences with the ex
lichtweight champ. "I was looking
after the athletic end of the Elk pro
grammes in those dnys and refereeing
the four-round bouts. I sent the little
Dutchman against a boy named Creely.
and while no decision was given, Creely
hai the better of the scrap.
"Wolgast's style, with that constant
covering up to avoid punishment, did
not make a hit with me and I tried to
dissuade him from fighting further.
But h? was ambitious and T then got
him a fight up at Petoskey, Mich., meet
lng a negro. Ad knocked out the
colored lad, who" outweighed him ten
pounds. In seven rounds, but still
thought little of him.
Yonnjc Boxer In Snrpiine.
"He kept after me so much that
decided to have him get a good licking
to cure his ambition, so advised him to
go to Grand Kapids to fight Young
Nelson. Imagine my surprise when he
knocked out Nelson in three rounds.
After that there was no stopping him.
Now I think that Ad is the best light
weight in the world.
Parrish tells an amusing story of the
early struggles of the 24-year-old lad
who counts his wealth in six figures.
When Ad left Cadillac for Milwaukee
he "swiped" a white bulldog belonging
to Parrish. The canine was a favorite
with the trainer of the Parrish string
of horses and he voted to have the
scrapper arrested for the theft. Ad
afterwards confessed that he lived for
a month off dog sales. When he was
hard up he would sell the animal for
$2 and then sell It to another party
when the bun ran away and found its
way bacsc to Ad s neaoquarters.
Wolgast and Jack King leave early
this morning on an Inspection of land.
keeping their destination a secret. The
pair may be gone two days.
A trip to Cuba is the latest plan of
the conqueror of Battling Nelson. The
Wolgasts practically have decided to
cancel their trip to Cadillac. Midl
and leave for New Orleans within
week. They wish to evade the rigors
of the Michigan Winter and both are
keen to take a trip through the South,
then to Cuba, with the return to Cadil
lac bv way of New York.
wolgast may give the members of
the Ad Club a talk on boxing at the
luncheon of next Wednesday. Yester
day R. P. Meyer secured a half promise
from Wolgast for the after luncheon
talk.

leaves Seattle and the remainder on
their arrival at Tokyo. The only part
of the proposition that causes Wash
ington to hesitate is that Washington
bring a' Japanese team from Meijl Col
lege next year and give a similar guar
antee. Manager Horr says that he will take
the matter up with the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce and see if any means
can be devised so that the offer can
be accepted and the money raised. Se
attle does not take to college baseball,
so Washington could not make more
than $500 in any series with any col
lege. The baseball men are enthusi
astic about taking a trip to Japan, but
they consider the chances slim of such
a trip being made. Two years ago
Waseda College of Japan made
similar offer to the university, but It
was laughed at because or the exces
sive amount of the guarantee demanded.
If Washington accepts the offer the
clause about bringing a Japanese team
to the Coast for a return series will
have to be dropped. , .

Tossing or Lewis Is Big Factor
Victory for High School Boys.
Many Fouls Are Called.
In
Through the phenomenal basket
throwing of Billy Lewis and the com
bined team work shown by his fellow
players. Lincoln High School basket
ball team was enabled to administer
a crushing defeat to the Hill Military
Academy quintet, 41 to 6. in the open
ing game of the 1913 interscholastic
basketball season. The game was
played yesterday afternoon on the
Portland Academy floor.
The Hill team is without the serv
ices of a coach and its shortcoming
was plainly apparent. Lewis, Lincoln
forward, scored 25 of the 41 points by
nls beautiful bapket-throwlng.
In the second half Dudley and Greer
made two sensational baskets from
difficult angles. The playing of Cud
lipp. Mulkey, Dudley and Greer was
great.
Clerin, who took Cudllpp's place at
forward In the second half, scored one
difficult basket, which brought cheers
rrom tne 15 or more basketball en
thusiasts. '
Because of the slippery floor Referee
Grilley was compelled to call 31 fouls.
Hill was the greatest offender, being
charged with 18 infringements of the
rules, while the victorious five were
charged with 13 fouls. The lineup:

DI CK SEASOX FOR 1912 EXDED
Sportsmen Oppose Move to Shorten
Time for Hunting Fowl.
While the open season for shooting
oucks aia not close until last night, the
final day's quota of shotgun artists at
the various ponds and lakes along the
Columbia River was a small one,
L,asi sunaay practically wound up
tne season s activity, the most success
ful In many years, and not more than
score of hunters unlimbered their
guns In quest of the flying duck yes
terday. Sportsmen are commencing to talk
of the proposed changes in the game
laws regarding ducks as advocated by
Game Warden Finley, and to a man
they oppose the efforts to cut down the
1913 season a month as well as the
curtailment of the bags. Finley pro
poses to postpone the opening of the
season from September 1 to October 1,
and decrease the bag limit from 35 to
25 ducks a week.
"Oregon has more ducks than Cali
fornia and Washington, yet we have
35-duck limit for a week here and
the states on the north and south of
us bave a 50-duck limit. To reduce
this to 25 ducks seems foolish." says
J. E. Culllson. president of the Tort
land Gun Club and one of the most
enthusiastic duck hunters of the city.
"1 don't believe that there is a
logical reason for a change in the duck
season, or in the bag limit. The birds
are numerous and the success of the
past season would not form an argu
ment for further encroachment on the
hunters."
BOWLERS IN DOUBT
Vancouver -Blacklist May Be
Cause of Trouble.
DENVER MOVE UNPOPULAR
Dominion City's Dislike to Have
Prize Money Distributed by
A. L. Jenkins Resented Inde
pendent Meet Is Planned.
' That Portland bowlers will desert
the official 1913 tournament of the
Western bowling congress if It is held
at Denver in favor of the Vancouver
independent meet is the belief ex
pressed by high local officials yester
day. Vancouver was awarded the 1913
congress, but received an official
blacklist" a few days ago, when it
sought to give the cold shoulder to the
Western officials.
'This Winter promises to be a crit
ical one for the Western bowling con
gress," sain David A. V enator, propri-
tor of the largest Portland alleys, last
night. "The congress has fallen into
the habit, within recent years, of ad
vertising large prizes and seldom pay
ing them up in fulL
Many May Secede..
"As a result, if Vancouver decides to
hold an independent tournament, I
wouldn't be a bit surprised to see tlie
entire Northwestern contingent. Port-
and, Spokane, Seattle, Victoria, Cal
gary, Edmonton and Vancouver, not to
mention smaller cities, enter there in
stead of at Denver. It costs much more
to travel to Colorado than to Vancou
ver, with not so much certainty of
securing the prizes after they are
won."
The rock upon which the Western
congress appears to be marooned is the
status of Its secretary, A. L. Jenkins,
whose untiring efforts have kept the
association together for the past sev
eral seasons. The Vancouver Tourna
ment Association refuses absolutely to
permit Jenkins to have anything to o
with the disbursing of the funds for
the 1913 meet, and, naturally, Jenkir.s
doesn't propose to be sidetracked.
Whatever financial rakeoff Jenkins
gets, he secures in the couple of
months he devotes to the staging of
the annual tourneys. Vancouver doesn't
relish the idea of paying Jenkins about
$600 for his time and expenses, and
that's why President Morley. of Los
Angeles, has Issued an ultimatum that
"Vancouver has forfeited 'its annual
right to the Western bowling tourna
ment." Result to Be Known Soon.
The Vancouver Tournament Associa
tion will meet within a few days to
decide upon whether to drop the plans
or go ahead with an independent tour
nament with increased vigor.
Denver appears to be the only city
in position to handle the 1913 tourna
ment of the Western congress. Seattle
made a big fizzle of it and San Fran
cisco has been promised the 1915 meet
ing. Spokane entertained the bowlers
In 1911 and will not be ready for three
or four years more. Los Angeles waa
the 1912 mecca. There has been some
talk of Portland getting busy, but it is
not thought that local conditions are
ripe.
On the whole, it looks like a stormy
year for the Western bowling tourney.
WHITE SQX SPECIAL OFFERED
