Mnnager of Colts Says Xew Acquisi
tion Unsurpassed Krcept In Illt-lln-r
and Improvement This
Year Is Expected.
Pave Bancroft, sensational fielding
but light hitting shortstop of the 191
Portland Beavcr3, will wear a Portland
uniform next season, but Manager Mo
Credle, cf the Coaster club, announced
yesterday that the youngster will be
turned over to Nick 'Williams North
western League Colts.
"Without Bancroft and Rapps the
Beavers will have eight infielders. four
of the regulars and four for the Yanl
aans at training camp, so why hold on
to Bancroft, who Is not likely to las:
the training season through?" argues
Manager "Mac" to himself. He prompt
ly notified Williams that Bancroft
would report at the Colt training
quarters Instead of the1 Beavers, and
spread the news around the regulars
at baseball headquarters.
The question of salary Is said to be
responsible for McCredie's sudden de
termination to shunt Bancroft to the
Colts. Bancroft asked for more money
and as he has, been rated as a North
western League possibility for some
months, the blow was struck without
more ado.
XIck VTHllams is much elated over
such an addition to his squad. He is
a strong admirer of Bancroft's fielding
ability and is confident that the player
will hit over .230 in the Fielder Jones
circuit.
"They don't make better fielders
than Bancroft." declared Nick last night
in talking of the prospective infield
acquisition. "As for his hitting, he
changed his style the last of the season
and will surely hit better during the
coming year. If he don't hit .250 or
better I shall be disappointed."
Bancroft batted .213 for the Beavers
In 1012 and f I. hied .!41. - The records
read: Batting 16 games. 665 times
at bat. 68 runs. 120 hits. 29 stolen bases
and 41 sacrifice hits; fielding 354 put
outs, 460 assists. 51 errors.
It will be up to Bobby Coltrln and
Bancroft to fight It out for shortstop
position, unless one of the duo decides
to take a try at third.
The McCredies have approximately
J21.000 Invested In Tacific Coast
League baseball players. Of this
amount 6!t00 has been expended In ob
taining five new pitchers for 1913.
In a lump, the pitchers represent an
lii-estment of $8500, catchers $3000: in
fielders, $6750, and outfielders, $2500.
Of the five new pitchers, "Rip"
Hagerman. obtained from Lincoln, of
the Western League, cost $2500. HI
West. Gene Krapp and Bill James, ob
tained from Cleveland, cost $4000.
while Uynes. drafted from the Canadian
League, cost $400. Hlgglnbotham cost
scarcely more than carfare from the
Kast. while Koestner was traded to
Vernon for Carson, who cost the
Beavers $1500. Carson was obtained
from the Chicago Cubs by Hap Hogan
for $1000.
Derrick. McCormick. Korea, Court
ney, the quartet of new Infielders. cost
$2:00. of which Kores accounts for a
$1000 draft and Courtney for a $400
one. Lindsay came at $1500, according
to MrCredie. Rodgers at $750, and
Peters at $60.
Doanc and Krueger. obtained from
Cleveland, represent an outlay of $2000,
while Fortler. the outfielder recruit,
comes to the Beavers by a modest little
draft price. Cunningham, Fitzgerald
and Marrlot, the youngsters, didn't cost
a cent, while Chadbourne was another
costless find.
Nick Williams has added another
piicher to his training camp string.
McGregor, who pitched in the Cali
fornia and Western Leagues, Is the
name of tho chap.' He was a Portland
visitor yesterday and bad a long talk
wttli Williams.
McGregor had to Quit the "Western
League a year or two with a bad arm,
but he lives down in California and It
won't cost much to give him a chance
to nnllmber again." says Manager Wil
liams. "He pitched good ball In
Southern Idaho last year and is worth
a chance."
Northwestern League contracts from
Hausman and Norton were received
yesterday. Norton says that he is glad
to play with the Colts and expects to
work himself back to the Beavers ere
the season Is over.
Cunningham, the promising Beaver
outfielder, has just undergone an oper
ation for stomach trouble. He is de
termined to be fit for any kind of
strenuous service so had his nose ope
ated on and then submitted bis ab
dominal regions to the surgeon's knife.
W. ' W. McCredle, president of the
Portland baseball club, was not at
headquarters yesterday, a bad cold
confining him to his home.
The Sacramento Senators are to be
known as the Wolverton's Wolves next
season, according to Sacramento writ
ers. "Senators" of five leagues have
won only four pennants In 44 cam
paigns, hence the change from the
hoodoo nickname. Bill Curtln. president
of the club. Is slated to retlra in favor
of Atkin, the controlling stockholder.

'The only thing: I am worrying about

before his departure for the South.

BOWLING MEET CERTAIN
IF CONGRESS FAILS, STATE
TOVRXEV IS PIAXNED.
Owners or Oregon Hall Alleys Prom
Ise to Stage Championship Event
in February or March.
Portland is certain to have, a big
bowling tournament in February or
March, regardless of the action taken
by the officials of tho Western Bowline-
congress. J. W. Blaney, who, with
Joe Dietz. is Installing a set of nine
alleys In Oregon Hall, promises uregon
bowlers either the Western Bowling
Congress tourney or a state champion
ship meet.
"I sent a telegram to rresiueni hur
ley, of the congress, yesterday, asking
him what kind of an offer he wants us
to make for the 1913 meet of the organ
ization." said Mr. Blaney last night. "I
have heard nothing from the bowling
people yet. but it seems to me that it
is rather late for us to try to stage a
first-class bowling tournament in this
cityy
Rut one thlnt is sure. If we don t
have the congress tournament here I
shall pull off a stater meet soon aner
the opening of the alleys on February
20. With cash prizes and trophies the
meet should be a huge success, and, so
far as Portland people are concerned,
just as satisfactory as a Western
Bowling Congress meet in some other
place."
Portland bowlers evince no particu
lar enthusiasm for a congress gather
ing in Portland this year, as they are
-(Vol,! that the time is too short to
stage a tourney which would be a credit
to the city. Mr. Blaney nas onereu w
postpone the opening of his alleys un
til the meet and to donate the use of
the drives to the bowlers. This would
save at least 1200 to the bowlers, but
the cash prizes must be guaranteed in
addition to this.
Mr. Blaney is willing to save the
J1200 or $1500 for the bowlers, by ten
dering his hall free of charge, but the
other bowling interests, as well as the
rank and file of the tenpln enthusiasts
of the city, must contribute towards
the guarantee of the cash prizes, if the
congress is to be awarded to this city.
The state championship gathering Is
enthusiastically indorsed by the bowl
ers. Portland would enter teams from
the three leagues of the Saratoga
Alleys, a team or two from the Imperial
Alleys, while Multnomah and Columbus
clubs would contribute teams. Eugene.
Salem and many other Oregon towns
would be represented at the champion
ship clashes.

PLAYING BEGINS APRIL 22
Directors Decide Optional ' Players
Cannot Be Fanned Out to Clubs
In Circuit Bpise Man Is
.Re-elected President.
LA GRAXDB. Or., Jan. 20. (Special.)
Optional players cannot be farmed
out to clubs in the Western Tri-State
League in 1913, according to resolu
tions adopted at tne annual meeting of
directors of that class league organtza
tlons here today. Aside from letting
the bars down to North Yakima and
Baker, thus expanding to six clubs, if
the ' two named finally determine to
come in, this was the most important
matter taken up. North Yakima and
Baker have until February 8 to finally
carry out their .wishes expressed here
today by depositing the JoOO forfeit.
W. N. Sweet, of Boise, was re-elect
ed president and L. M. Brown, secre
tary of the Walla Walla Commercial
Club, was chosen secretary.
Boise, Walla Walla and La Grande
were represented In person at the meet
lng and Pendleton and North Yakima
had proxies here, while Baker was rep
resented by Publicity Manager O'Gor
man.
The playing season opens April 22
and closes September iz, the ached
ule for which will be fixed February 8,
and as each club carries a reserve list
of an average of nine, a nucleus for the
league already exists. In view of the
fact that the clubs. Walla Walla,
Pendleton, La Grande and Boise, went
through the first year with consider
able success, the directors hope for
rapid growth in financial and playing
strength this year.

Cub President Says He Wants Qnick-
Tblnking Player to Direct Play.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20. "Frank Chance
was successful as a playing manager;
I am not prepared to say that he will
prove a wizard as a bench manager,"
says Charles W. Murphy, president of
the National League Baseball Club of
Chicago, In a signed statement, made
public here today.
Continuing, Murphy declares that the
popularity or unpopularity of a man
ager or owner does not figure in the
success of a club; It is a winning ag
gregation that counts with followers
of the game.
The local owner Intimates that his
club has been reorganized because
some of the players were going stale
with age.
"The passing of Chance, Tinker,
Brown, Hofman, Steinfeldt, Overall,
Kling and Lundgren from the West
Side is not pleasant for me to contem
plate," said Murphy.
Murphy says that baseball clubs
want fewer superintendents criticising
from the bench and more enthusiastic,
quick-thinking players. He alludes to
Chance when he says that the time to
remove a player Is before a game .has
been thrown away, and not after the
game Is over and lost. McGraw, he
says, saved many a game by his quick
wit in removing a weakening pitcher
at the right moment.
Murphy says that his 1913 club Is
good for a batting average of .300,
barring only the pitchers, and opines
that the lovers of the game who are
now deploring the loss of old favorites
will be the first to cheer tne rejuven
ated organization.
Billiard Champion Coming.
Tamada, the Japanese billiard cham
pion, and George blosson, one of tne
