FANS HAVE ENOUGH
BASEBALL G055IP
Nick Williams, Bitten by Dog;
Reported by "Chair Warm
ers" as Crippled for Life.
AGNEW SENDS IN CONTRACT
"Retired"' Pitcher Guarantees Ap
pearance in Colt T7niform--Peters,
1912 Holdout, Agrees to Play
With 1913 Beavers.
Nick Williams has been crippled so
badly that he will play no more base
ball. "Toots" Agnew. who "retired"
in October, has sent in a signed con
tract and a letter guaranteeing- his
appearance at the Colt training camp.
j D. Peters, Trt-State Infielder, who
refused to play with the Beavers in
1912. announces his intention of break
ing back into theVame. William Un
derwood, of Cnderwood. Wash., wishes
to provide talent to furnish Portland
9 with a Northwestern League pennant
winner next season.
The foregoing conglomeration of
news, alarming, pleasing and amusing,
aroused baseball headquarters from its
Winter lethargy yesterday. A "friend"
imported the lamentable particulars of
the Williams incident over the tele
phone, but the JlcCredies. the 'Judge"
and Walter, are straining auricular
nerve meaning hearing apparatus
in an effort to discover the identity of
said friend. Manager Nick, of the
Colts, in separating canine combat
ants, had his left hand severely lacer
ated by the fangs of a fox terrier, but
injuries which will be healed within a
week or two. in passing down gossip
row. had become so serious that ampu
tation of the member to prevent death
from hydrophobia was reported immi
nent. Nick was still bending over the
books down on a waterfront grain
dock yesterday afternoon, even though
his left arm was encased in bandages.
He indulged in a good laugh at the
yarn which had been circulated regard
ing him. but admitted that he had the
cuts cauterized to prevent hydrophobia.
"I was only bit up a little, but you
never can tell about these dog bites,
so I was taking no chances, and had
the wounds cauterized," explained the
blond boss of the Colts.
Williams was trying to protect the
offending terrier from the jaws of
Terry McKune's bulldog when the un--grateful
animal fastened Its teeth in
Nick's hand. Fearing that the terrier
would be killed by the bulldog. Nick
Jumped to the fore and attempted to
grab the bull, lie grabbed too soon, or
too late, and received the brunt of an
assault meant for the bulldog.
.
-Toots" Agnew, along with .Bill
Bloomfleld. announced his retirement
from baseball at the close of the 1912
campaign. He was going to stick to
the contracting business, while "Par-
- son" Bill was to confine his athletic
. efforts to Juggling grain sacks on his
- dad's dock at Antloeh. But Bloomfield
has long since altered his course and
'Agnew notified President McCredie of
his "comeback" intentions yesterday,
sending In a signed contract as well as
a letter expressing the belief that 1913
i will be his banner year on the mound.
Peters Is the third baseman from
Trenton, of the Tri-State League, who
refused to report to McCredie last sea
son on account of Illness. "Mac." paid
J600 for the boy. but was so sure that
lie would be available In the future
that he kept on good terms with the
recalcitrant one. Now Peters writes
that be has signed the contract, but
mislaid It. and will forward the paper
to Portland as Boon as it is found.
Last year Peters sent in a signed
contract, but did not report. This
year he sends a letter. In addition to
the prospective contract. This is taken
as an Indication of greater interest,
and Manager Walter believes that Pet
ers will report.
Peters is a San Jose boy, a graduate
of Santa Clara College and at present
a member of the law class of 1913 at
Stanford University. He is a husky
man, built along the lines of Walter
Donne, and plays either third or first
base. He ran the 100 yards in around
ten seconds at Santa Clara, plays soccer
and is an all-around athlete.
William Underwood, of Underwood,
Wash., writes to President McCredie
that he has three men available who
will make the Portland Colt pennant
winners in 1913. These boys are Ar
thur Hitesman. catcher: Carl Douglas,
shortstop, and Ncal Bronsen. pitcher.
rjie trio.Is praised in glowing terms
by the Underwood man. hut the offer
of talent is too late; the squad is com
plete. The Astoria baseball people are busy
already on a 1913 schedule. Nick
Williams has received a letter asking
for a game with the Colts before the
opening of the Northwestern ieague
season, bat there Is little chance for
such a meeting.
Here's a lineup guess of Sacramento
for the opening of the season: Pitchers
Arellanes. Pnicke. Stroud, peters.
Alberts and Harden: catchers Bliss.
Cheek, r.eitmeyer: first base Miller;
second base 'Rourke: shortstop
Stark: outfielders Moran. Kenworthy.
Shinn; utllitv outfielder Van Buren;
utility inlielder Wolverton. Heister.
Al Baum. who released Umpire
Wheeler the other day. says that
tleorare Is too well known among the
ballplayers of the league to make a
complete success of umpiring, but
should make good in some other league.

Bush and Held, the new men. r.ave
come to terms.
: FOOTBALL. STILL PUZZLIXG
Coach Not Yet Decided hut Several
Will Receive Consideration.
UNIVEKSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or, Jaa 20. (Special.) Xo settlement
of "the football coach question at the
University or uregon uas jci
reached, and the committee having the
selection of the staff in charge an
nounces that it will take its time In
deliberating over its course.
New names are being mentioned
' from time to time in the discussion
which is in progress among alumni
and students. "Bill" Frank, who
turned out a successful eleven at the
University of Kansas the past season,
has applied for the position of head
coach at Oregon. Since the college
which he has served Is several times
larger than this Institution and is
prominent in Middle Western athletics.
Frank s name will receive serious con
sideration by the committee. So. also,
wt!l that of T. W. Hammond, of the
United States Army, who played foot
ball at Oregon and later at West Point.
He was a member of the team here in
the days of "Dick" Smith, who speaks
highly of his qualifications. He is a
brother of "Bob" Hammond, -another
Oregon piayer of later seasons, with
whom he is now visiting at Medford.
There is quite a sentiment here in
favor of hiring the mysterious Per
kins, who came to Eugene at the dose
of the 1911 season and offered his
services free of charge, unless he
should put out a team which should
conquer Dobie's invincibles. Perkins
got out on the field with a number
of varsity players and demonstrated
that he knew the rudiments of the
game to their satisfaction; in fact, he
made a wreck of the first team inter
ference. Many spectators were in fa
vor of giving the man a chance at the
time.

AD WANTS TO FIGHT
Wolgast Telegraphs Promo
ters, Asking Proposals.
EX-CHAMPION MAY YIELD
Demand for Chance at Ritchie in
Next C "-Round Go May Be Put
Aside Jack King Picked to
Train Him for Contests.
Ad Wolgast is not the phlegmatic
Dutchman some people picture -him.
The ex-lightweight champion is com
mencing to worry. He has no definite
fistic engagement in sigh. Also his
vocal organs are not in harmony with
other portions . of his anatomy, for,
while he talks of retiring from the
ring and of laying off until July or
September, his hands are busy writ
ing telegrams to promoters asking
them for a line, on future bouts.
Tom McCarey, king- of Los Angeles
boxing promoters, and Jim Coffroth,
San Francisco leader in staging top
notch ring mills, were addressed via
telegraph last night. Ad has decided
that while, he is enjoying himself in
Portland and the surrounding country
the promoters might as well employ
the interim framing up bouts in which
the Cadillac man is Involved. The news
dispatches carry too many lines about
the other lightweights, and pay too
little attention to the man who was
the champion ot them all not many
weeks ago.
Ad still rates his value to a pro
moter at $10,000, and points with pride
to the fact that never has a promoter
lost monej" on a fight in which he was
a principal, but the right kind of a
proposition might make nlm forget his
vehement declaration that he would en
gage in nothing over the ten-round
route until he has had another chance
at Willie Ritchie.
Wolgast yesterday turned down a
theatrical engagement for next week,
but says he will remain in Portland
a week or two longer. Today he plans
to go to Kelso. Wash., to look over a
tract of several thousands acres of
grazing land, while Saturday or Sun
day he w'ill take a jaunt up around
The Dalles to look over another propo
sition. Tom Jones, manager of Wolgast, is
confident -that he will land the man
agement of Jess Willard, the big
heavyweight At least he says so in
a telegram to his protege. He has been
negotiating with Willard ever since he
was turned down in Chicago last week,
and a number of friends are telling
the big fellow what a glorious chance
he has to earn a barrel of money by
performing under the direction of
Jones.
Wolgast is certain that Willard could
not make a better move than to affLx
his signature to a Jones contract. Ad
points to the publicity stunts and wise
managerial actions Jones maneuvered
for him and says that no promoter in
the business would give Willard such
a commanding position in fisticuffs as
Jones.
J. F. Brennan, a member of the Wol
gast training camp before the cham
pionship mill with Wolgast, likewise
sings the praises of Jones, but as
"Jimmy" Is in Portland for a few days
and Willard is in Chicago, or there
abouts, his boost Is not likely to count
for much.
Wolgast is author of the announce
ment that next time he prepares for
a championship fight. Jack King, the
Portland man who trained athletes at
Multnomah Club, Stanford University
and other places," will have charge of
training quarters. King neither denies
nor affirms this, but no surprise need
be shown should King condition Ad for
his next go with Ritchie if that affair
ever Is scheduled.

Ira P. Thomas, the star backstop
of the Philadelphia Athletics, at
tains his 32d birthday .annR-ersary
today, having- fceon born la Ballstan
Springs. N. Y., January 22. 1S8L
His first profeastonal eogaeement
was with the Hartford team of the
Connecticut League In 1902. The
next war h returned to Hartford,
but later tn the season was sent to
Newark. During the seasons of, 1904
and 1805 he caught for the Provi
dence team and it was while he was
a member of the Clam Diggers that
Ira showed he was ripe for major
league picking. He was purchased
by the New Tork Americans and
played with the Yankees during
10OS-7. In 190S he was traded to
Detroit. The next year he wa trad
ed to the Athletics, where he has
played ever since. Thomas has the
rare distinction of having played
with four pennant-winning teams.
Providence la 1905, Detroit tn 19U8
and the Athletics in 1910 and 1911.
u.,., ni thA V. M. C. A. as
was arranged, every quintet of the in
terscholastic league will have partici
pated in -its first scheduled game.
Coach Lee, of the Portland Academy
team, has encountered much trouble in
putting out a basketball team. After
being handicapped nearly 12 pounds to
a. man, Kingsley and Brix, star play
ers, became ill and -will be out of the
game for the rest of the season. De
spite these handicaps, Lee expects his
light men to give a good account of
themselves.
The Washington High School five
may be without the services of Foster,
star center, who, injured his knee while
engaged in practice Monday afternoon.
Judging from the advance sale of tick
ets, one of the largest crowds of basr
ketball enthusiasts will attend the
game.
As A. M. Grilley, who is to referee
a majority of the interscholastic bas
ketball games, is out f the city, another
official will be chosen. The game will
start promptly at 3:15 o'clock.

The last four rounds were the hard

Kid had all "the better of the bout up,
to the sixteenth, outboxing his oppon
ent at every stage and had his nght
won on points, when Carpenter landed
a terrific right to the Jaw. Montana
Kid showed great recuperative powers
between rounds and time and again
had the crowd cheering by coming
back when it was thought he was
gone.
Carpenter made innumerable wild
haymakers, missing rights and lefts
to the face and uppercuts so often
that fans quit counting, but his youth
