THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1913. 10 POSSIBLE MANAGER OF SEALS "Bill" Reidy Suspiciously In active in Behalf of San Francisco Team. EWING SCORES IDLENESS Real Estate Interest in Illinois Os tensibly Cause of Absence, bnt 1912 Chief Is Staying in Cleveland, O. Thin hunch may seem the qulntes sence of nothing at all to fill space with, but, paraphrasing the words of a well-known pianola scream, inhale a little tip from paterfamilias and address- all future correspondence to Del Howard, or me oau t'"""' domed with a managerial prefix. t . i. I KB(rlnfl tn Irtok as if Bin Reidy 'has "trun" his last slow ball and gulped. his last nignnau as rawi " tentate of tbe San Francisco Coasters. An announcement in a San Francis co newspaper that Howard has de parted for the East ostensibly "to look after real estate interests in Illinois, furnishes the real basis of this entry Into the forecasting field. Howard, if these same sources are to be believed, left San Francisco a short while back bound for Los Ange les, with the intention of remaining there two or three weeks with his wife, prior to the start of training. The Seal owners deny that there is any significance to his hasty swing eastward, but the facts remain that Manager Reidy is still rusticating at Cleveland: that he has not signed a solitary plaver since he said his good byes last Fall, and that Ewing has scored him heavily within recent date for derelection of duty. Ordinarily a manager has a great deal to say concerning the new play ers who are to be added to his team. That should represent 25 per cent of the value of any manager to his boss. But Bill, for some reason or other, best known to himself, hasn't even taken the trouble to write to. the Seal owners. A Cleveland dispatch says he has Just recovered from an at tack of grip, but grip or no grip, Reidy should have been on the job long ago. Howard was secured from the American Association in midseason last year for first-base duty. He finished like a Honus Wagner, batting .358 in 98 games. Del is a brother of Ivan Howard of the Los Angeles Club and has had considerable experience as a manager on the other side of the Rock ies. He is the logical one for the job If Ewing contemplates a change, and the developments surely point that way. . W. W. Metzger, concession man at the Portland ball park, returned Fri day from a 26 days' trip throughout California with the Intelligence that everywhere in the south the experts fear McCredie's Beavers. "Dillon, Berry, Ewing and all of them say it's Portland they'll have to beat out for the pennant." rhapsodized the local ex plorer enthusiastically. Mr. Metzger Is a great booster of Vlsalia as the 1913 Beaver training site. He investigated the Government weather reports there and found the March rainfall in 1912 but slightly over one inch. But Visalia, according to Metz," is a dry town In other re spects than that, as the lid is clamped on with steel bands. He thinks the town Ideal for Spring purposes. "I saw Orvle Overall at Los Angeles," said he. "and I think be Is aching to get back into the major leagues, al though not with the Chicago Cubs. They told me at Visalia, his home town, that Orvle had sunk $28,000 in a mine without results. Ole Olson is also Win tering at Los Angeles, anxiously await ing transportation to the Nap training camp." Jack Gllllgan spent an afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Metzger at San Francisco, and the former Beaver in formed them that he intended to for sake the diamond for keeps. It has been officially decided that the Oakland Coast Leaguers will train at Ltvermore, the stamping ground used by Bud Sharpe last Spring. Man ager Mltze expects to have his men re port for work there February 24. so he will have a week's start on Port land and most of the other clubs. Oakland's first game with the Chi cago White Sox has been set for March 6 Manager McCredle. of Portland, has been promised two games by Tip O'Neill. Comlskey's advance agent, but no dates have been agreed upon yet. Portland will play both White Sox squads, as they switch positions com ing and going between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Chlcagoans are billed to assem ble at Paso Robles about February 25, but will split intj two sections after a week there. San Francisco is well supplied with rseudo medicos. The signing of Dr. Thomas, the former St. Paul American Association slabster. a few days ago, brings the total up to three; Dr. Thomas, pitcher; Dr. Carroll, trainer, and Dr. Frost, the nincompoop bat bo and all-around janitor who "shags" balls at SI per diem. The announcement of the invasion of St. Paul and Minneapolis by the new Northern League, which will also have franchises In Duluth. Winnipeg. Grand Forks. Fort William, Virginia and Su perior, means that Portland Is to have a rival In the continuous ball scheme In vogue here. Mike CantilHon, of Minneapolis, ana George Lennon. of St. Paul, are to havb control of the new teams in their cities. The Northern League will claim C rating. The Northwestern League In Portland is Class B. BEIIGER IS BETXG WATCHED New York and St. Lonia Said to Have Leanings Toward Player. Henry Berry's optimism la due for an awful jolt. The Los Angeles owner has been sure all along of getting Shortstop Joe Berger back from the Chicago Sox. but Erve Hlgglnbotham. home from California, says Berger will never get out of the American League In 1913. Even should Manager Calla han decide to let the Dutchman re turn both Frank Chance, manager of New York, and George Stovall, boss ot the St. Louis Browns, will refuse to waive. Chance and Stovall are Wintering In Los Angeles and have watched the whirlwind Angel inflelder perform tn the Winter League. Both are struck with Bergers ability, for shortstops are at a premium at New. York and at St. Louis. Berry is said to be angling for a new hortstop of major-league caliber, but the loss of Berger is a hard blow to the Seraphs' chances. He practically made the Los Angeles infield last sea son. Not only did he cover an Im mense amount of ground, but ha quick HOWARD ened up Ivan Howard at second base, and Howard had one of the greatest seasons in his career.

THREE ARE HAYWARD'S MEN Famous Olympic Club Sprinter Gives First Honors to Smithson, McChtre, Kelly, Edmnndson and Gish on Team. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Five Pacrflc Northwestern athletes are chosen by Peter Gearhardt, dean of all Coast track and cinder expo nents, as the most remarkable all time Pacific Coast League track and field athletes In their respective events. . The San Francisco veteran, who has been spending the week in Portland on a business mission, picks Forrest Smithson, of the Multnomah Club, as the greatest high hurdler ever devel oped In the West; McClure, of the Uni versity of Oregon, as the greatest miler; designates Dan Kelly, of Multnomah, as the premier broad Jumper, and Ed- mundson, of Seattle, as the one best bet over the 880-yard course. In ad dition, he gives Brailey Gish, of the Seattle Athletic Club, equal honors with Wyman, of Stanford, as the fast est quarter-miler in the annals of sport on this side of the Rocky Mountains. Gearhardt has represented the Olym pic Club on the cinder path for 17 years. He has won every 220-yard Coast championship event ever run and has been beaten only once In the 100 dash for the Coast title. Despite his years, .the veteran was chosen a mem ber of the American Olympic team last Summer. In the farewell meet at New York he finished second to Cral In the century, but was unfortunate in being drawn In the same heat with the sensational negro. Drew, at Stock holm, and was nosed out of the flnvls. Ability to Judge Sbovrn. " After this paragraph, any doubt as to Gearhardt's qualifications to name an all-time Coast team will likely have been dispelled. Here's tbe galaxy the visitor was prevailed upon to name Saturday: 100-yard dash Parsons, Los Angeles Athletic Club; best time. It 5 seconds. 220-yard dash Parsons, Los Angeles Athletic Club: best time. 21 2-5 sec onds. 440-yard dash Bill Wyman, Stanford University, and Brailey Gish, Seattle Athletlo Club; best times, 49 2-10 and 49 seconds. Broad Jump Dan Kelly, Multnomah Athletic Club; distance, 24 feet, 2 1-4 inches. High Jump George Horlne. Stanford University, world's champion; record, 6 feet, 7 Inches. 880-yard run Edmundson, Seattle Athletic Club; best time, 1:65 1-5. 120-yard high hurdles Forrest Smithson, Multnomah Athletlo Club, world's champion; record. 15 seconds. 220-yard low hurdles Eddie Beeson, University of California; time, 25 sec onds. 16-pound shotput Ralph Rose, Olym pic Athletic Club, San Francisco, world's champion; distance. 51 feet 16-oound hammer-throw Al Plaw, Olympic Athletic Club, San Francisco;. distance, 174 feet. 1-mile run Walter McClure, Univer sity of Oregon; time, 4:24 1-6. Pole vault Leland Scott, Stanford University; height, 12 feet, 10 7-8 Inches. Javelin throw Ollie SnedJgar, Olym pic Athletic Club, San Francisco; dis tance. 166 feet. Gearhardt's choices are a testimonial to the ability of Bill Hayward, coach at the University of Oregon, for three of the 14 Rll-time champions Kelly, Smithson and McClure are proteges of the lemon-yellow's mentor. Kelly's Sprint Overlooked. In the sprints Gearhardt overlooks, himself and also Dan Kelly, the Port land lsd who holds the disputed world's record of 9 3-6 seconds for the 100 yard run and has a mark of 21 1-5 for the 220 dash. Gearhardt Is present Coast champion sprinter, having won both the short distances at the Astoria meet In 1911 although 35 years old at the time. He does the century consist ently in 10 seconds. Courtney is an other good 100 sprinter. Parsons ran for Los Angeles seven or eight years ago and beat such men as Hahn. Gish, the 440 speeder, who formerly wore the colors of the Seattle Athletic Club, beat Wyman at the Pittsburgh National championships in 1911. He made the Northwestern record of 49 flat that year. Edmundson, who is picked as the greatest Western half- mller, won the National championship at the Seattle fair In 1909, but fell Just at the finish tape at Pittsburg In 1911, Sheppard breasting the tape first. Edmundson holds the Northwestern amateur record of 1:65 1-5 made in 1909. Beeson Is Rated High. Beeson of California, with a mark of 6 feet 4 inches, and Bert Kerrigan and Frank Watklns of Multnomah, are given honorable mention among the high Jumpers. Kerrigan holds the Pacific Northwest Association record of E feet 11 Inches made In 1905, but he has made as hlght as 6 feet 2 Inches, defending the Coast title successfully from 1896 to 1905. Snedlgar, of the Olympic Club, ranks second to Kelly among Coast broadjumpers, in the Judg ment of Mr. Gearhardt. The Coast has the greatest hurdlers In the business," declared the San Francisco expert. "Smithson and Fred Kelly of Los Angeles, and Martin Haw kins of Oregon are corkers, and Cheek, an oldtimer of the Olympic Club, is BIRTHDAY CONGRATULATIONS. George Horlne. George L. Horlne, the world's champion running- high Jumper, was born In San Diego, CaL, February 8. 1890. Horlne comes naturally by his prowess as a Jumper, since his pa ternal ancestors tor several gener ations back were noted for tbelr abil ity In the same line. When Horine entered Stanford University he Joined the track squad. Intending to take up mile running and pole vaulting. Dad Houlton, the veteran trainer, per suaded him to tackle the high leap. In this the young Callfornlan was bo successful that today he Is proclaimed the greatest high Jumper In all the records of athletlo. In the dual meet ot Stanford and In the Uni versity of Southern California last March, Horine cleared tbe bar at 6 feet. 9 Inches, which mark has been credited to him by the Amateur Ath letlo Union as the world's record. Horlne's Jump ot 6 feet. T Inches, in the Olympic tryouts was not acted upon by the A. A. U. because not supported by the necessary affida vits - In the Olympic games at Stock holm he tied with a German, Llesche, and In the Jump-off he had to be content with third place. GEARHARD ICRS right up there with them. Although Hawkins and Kelly both beat Smithson In the Olympic tryouts at Stanford last May, I still like Smithson tbe best. He beat Hawkins at tne Astoria mast r-hamninnshlDS the year before." Hawkins and Smithson are Joint hold ers of the Northwestern record over the high timbers. Smithson doing 15.2 In 1908 and Hawkins 15.2 in 1911. Hawkins' best time Is 15.1 seconds. Cheek and Hawkins are rated the sec ond best 220-yard hurdlers. Beilah la Mentioned. Sam Beilah. former Stanford vaulter. who Is now captain of the Multnomah outdoor squad. Is given honorable men tion next to the ex-world's champion, Leland Scott. Beilah several times came close to shattering Scott's mark of 12 feet -10 inches, but the best he ever accomplished was 12 feet 9 Inches at the Olympic tryouts last May 18. Gilbert is rated right up with Beilah and Scott. Neil, the Oregon Javelin hurler, is given second place to Snedlgar. His best throw is 164.6 as against 166 for Snedlgar. Floyd Rice, the California weight star, closely follows Rose tn the 16 pound globule Juggling. Gearhardt did not choose a discus man, but thinks the University of California has the best plate whlzzer in Alderman, who won the last Coast event at Astoria with a throw slightly over 122 feet. hit. scon IS VICTOR SOCCER GAME ENDS IN SCORE OF FOUR TO ONE. Winning Aggregation Rnshes Oppo nents Off Feet in Second Hall ' and Scores Three Goals.

During the first half the Cricketers played their best game and held the victorious team to a lone score, made at the last of the period.

If Gay Lombard is elected Mayor of Portland next June, for which office he is now campaigning, there will be no political rewards, such as appoint ments to high positions In the public service, whether salaried or unsalaried, according to a statement made by him yesterday. He declares he will Inaug urate an absolutely new system of con ducting the municipal business. "I have devoted much time and study to the conduct of municipal affairs," said Mr. Lombard, "and I find no good reason whv sound business methods may not be successfully applied to the public business. I will. If nominatea and elected to that high office, faith fully apply to their business the same energy and strict attention to details that I have applied to my own private "Having determined that the city's business can well be conducted along sound lines of good business policy, I shall, during my campaign, pledge my self to make no appointments to pay political debts should I be cnosen By the people of this city as their chief executive, I shall select only such men and women as have intimate knowledge of the positions to which I shall ap point them. For example, if I am elected Mayor, I will appoint to the police committee of the Executive Board three men who are familiar with police business. "I steadfastly believe It is not a dream, but, that if I am elected and annlv this policy to everything I do for the city It will prove to be the best thing for the city and the people who provide the funds for conducting city affairs. "I favored commission government two years ago and still favor It; I snail do whatever I can to bring It to pass, but I am mindful, after all, that no matter 'what form of government we have, we must depend upon the aver age man to fill the public places and we must depend upon their ability and faithfulness in the discharge of their obligations to the public." ill SSIOfJ WORKERS HERE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH VIS ITORS GIVE ADDRESSES.
