THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXTAX. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1913. 16 ILLI1S LINES UP 'PENNANT' PLAYERS Colt Manager Surrounds Self With ex-Members of San Francisco Club. OSCAR JONES IS SOUGHT Pitcher for Time Under Ban of Na tional Association Is Free Agent Since Reinstatement Mensor Sees Winning Aggregation. BT JAMES H. CASSELL. Surrounding: himself with a quartet of teammates from the San Francisco club of a few years ago, Nick Williams, Colt manager, hopes to present Port land fandom with a Northwestern League pennant next season. Nick has "Pat" Eastley. twirling holdover from last season; "Kid" Mohler. who has just signed a Colt contract, and Harry Suter. the southpaw who is expected to swing into line ere long, and yesterday he opened negotiations with Oscar Jones, former Brooklyn and Kan Francisco slabster. Jones is now a free agent, having been reinstated at the meeting of the National Association last Fall, and is once more on the baseball market. Al though a veteran of more than a decade Williams has received such flat tering reports of Jones that the Colt leader is anxious to add him to the already large staff of twirlers. Oscar is now at Lemoore, Cal., where lie owns an automobile and a ranch He has been In active training for sev eral months, removing the surplus fat which encumbered his anatomy for sev eral years, and is ready to break into league baseball once more. " The Lemoore rancher and autoist jumped the Seals for Santa Cruz of the California Outlaw League in 1909. He later went to Fresno and then Journeyed to Lemoore when the Inde pendent organization went the usual route. Jones proved a winner for the semi-pro club of that town, pitching ball on Sundays and running a billiard room during the week. But he always hankered for the "regular" game, and after a long campaign Anally persuaded Cal Ewing to have him reinstated. Jones. Williams. Eastley, Mohler and Suter played ball together on the San Francisco club, the four first named the same season. "Williams has the utmost respect for the pitching ability of Jones, and is confident that if he can be persuaded to affix his signature to a Colt contract, pennant-winning prospects will be greatly enhanced. "Jones chief asset is wonderful con trol of the ball," says Nick. "Then, with this, he has a splendid baseball head. Tills control, together with his knowledge of the game, would enable him to win over pitchers who have twice his ''stuff even if he has gone back a good deal. Then, he's a glutton lor work, and is good for three games a week. He's Just the kind of a man I want. "Oscar and I are old friends and he'll give me a pretty good line on his ability. He surely thinks he has sev eral yeaTS left in him or he wouldn't have been so keen for reinstatement. All he needs to do is to give the signal and he'll have every chance to make good" Jones has been sought by North western League clubs for several years, but the ban of organized bail ren dered him an outcast. 1 "if Nick gets a good catcher for next season the Colts will finish one two," predicts Eddie Mensor, the Pitts burg outfielder who was sold from the Colts to the Pirates last Summer. "With Oscar Jones added to Kid Mohler, and a catcher in addition. It looks like a pennant-winning aggre gation," continued Eddie in an opti mistic vein. "What an infield that will make, with Mohler working at second, with Coltrln at his right. Williams at his left and Bancroft or some good young ster at third! Mohler will make them all look good, and the stunts they'll pull off in that infield will make these other clubs remember every game against the Colts. "In addition to his value on account of his experience, Mohler will hit around .276 up here, and that'll aid in winning many a game. "But the Colts must have another catcher, and a good one." opines Kddie. "The pitching staff is good enough with a good catcher. A poor catcher means that the pitchers must be at least 25 per cent stronger to make the same showing as with a first class receiver." Mohler will be given no responsi bility with the Colts next season other than playing his position." says Wil liams. "He has been under a strain for many years as captain of the Seals, and I'm going to give him a chance to devote his entire time to playing. You'll see that he plays better ball than for several seasons." , Williams received another telegram from Mohler yesterday, the latter pending word from Oxnard. Cal., that he is glad to get a chance to play with the Colts. Nick expects to carry Guignl. the lad expected to play second, for several weeks. The San Franciscan looks like a. contender for third base If his hit ting Is up to standard. The contract of J. D. Peters, the Beaver in fielder, was received at base ball headquarters yesterday. Peters is the first baseman, third baseman and outfielder who failed to report last season on account of illness. Those who have played with the Call fornian. including Kddie Mensor, say that Peters is one of the fastest men in the game. He can run 100 yards in around 10 seconds, is at home at al most any angle of the diamond, and is a hard right-handed batter. Mensor fays Peters is sure to stick with the Beavers if he is given a good chance. ODAY AVII.Ii ACT AS UMPIRE Friends Say He Will Act This Y"ear in American League. CHICAGO. Feb. 2.

But for the accidental loss of a wig, Ralph MacAulay, star athlete at the San Rafael High School, today would be the sole masculine possessor of the guarded secrets of what occurred at the high jinks given by the Junior girls to their sisters of the senior class last Saturday night. He also would have been attending his classes today and all this week. Instead MacAulay' is under suspension until next Monday and he knows that the co-eds of his school are as clever with their fists as the most militant of London suffragettes. It all happened over MacAulay's boast to his friends that he would attend the girls' high jinks and bring to them the secrets of what occurred in the gaurdea Danquet room. The banquet was in the school as sembly room, it was a ianey aress affair. MacAulay planned to attend in the garb of a girl basketball player. He secured a costume that tittea mm to nerfection. A blonde pompadour completed the makeup and a mask hid his features. So into the Jinks room stepped Mac Aulay. He gazed about with a sup pressed air of satisfaction he naa gained entrance to the great and guarded sanctum. The rest would have been easy, but things came unexpected ly for MacAulay. Scarcely naa ne De- gun to size up the situation wnen iwo dancing co-eds, in fancy attire, bumped Into him seemingly by accident, and off flew the wig. An instant later- the star athlete of the High School was surrounded by an angry crowd of girls. Clenched fists round tneir way to his face in quick succession and the athlete was unceremoniously rough- housed and thrown from the Tlace. This morning MacAulay went to school as usual, but the faculty was waiting for htm. He was told that his presence in school was not wanted for the next few days, and with his books In hand he started for home. RILES HKI.U TOO STRINGENT Swedish Athletes Stirred by Dismis sal of Thorpe. STOCKHOLM, Feb. S. The case of Jamea Thorpe, the American Indian collegian who was crowned by King Gustave here last Summer as the world's greatest athlete and who has been disqualified as an amateur by his confession to professionalism, contin ues to cause considerable stir in Swedish athletic circles. Many prominent athletes here de clare that the rules of amateurehip are too severe ever to be adhered to strictly and they suggest that new and less stringent rules be instituted. It Is declared that many exceptions are made to present rules giving reim bursement to true amateurs in the form of pay for the salaries lost dur ing training. This practice of making exceptions, particularly in the case of athletes who are poor, has made It dif ficult to tell where to draw the line.

"All of the managers in the Coast League are bragging about their players, said Al Baum, who is here for two days, "so I guess I had better speak about my umpires. "None of the players will be able to treal on the toes of my new men, Bush and Held. Judging from the ac counts I have received of them in the past they should be able to take care of any player who becomes cranky. Held seems to be the strongest one. He is a big fellow, six feet tall, and in addition to that he has red hair. Now a read-headed fellow is a good one to avoid, and ballplayers know that.

RAGE MEET HOPES FOR Enthusiasm Is Lacking, Due to Ba'd Weather and Conse quent Losses in 1912. DATES ARE WOT ASKED FOR G. A. Westgate, Receiver for Coun try Club, Says, However, That Ar rangements Could Be Made Without IX)ss of Time. Unless Portland race enthusiasts awake to the situation within the next few days, this city, which has been the scene of many harness race contests of Grand Circuit calibre, will be dropped from the North Pacific Fair As sociation circuit for 1913. The annual meeting of the Northwest organization, at which dates for the coming campaign of harness Perform ers are allotted, is scheduled for Thurs day and Friday at Salem, yet no action has been taken to secure for Portland and the Country Club track a place on the programme. When inclement weather forced the abandonment of last Fall's speed pro gramme two days before the scheduled close, grave fears were expressed that Portland might not witness a 191 S meet Bad weather and the lukewarm attitude of the public towards sensational rac ing on good days, resulted in a financial loss to the promoters.

G A Westgate. one of the most prom inent enthusiasts of Portland, and re ceiver for the Country Club property, gave his consent 'for the staging of a meet last season, and dug down Into his pockets to assist in paying debts Incurred for the programme. This year he is not inclined to go to the front in an effort to place Portland on the race circuit map. but is willing to permit the use of the track for a meeting if horse men and business men evince a desire to hold a series of races here. "I know of no move to secure a race meeting for Portland next season," says Mr Westgate. "However, this does not mean that Portland is to be overlooked by the horsemen, for it only takes a day or two to get together, and pledge financial support sufficient to insure a programme. Reprcenatio I DeBlrnble. "I do not plan to go to Salem for the annual meeting." continued Mr. West gate, "but may change my mind. As for the dates, those arranged at the meet ing will not necessarily be definite, al though If Portland Is not represented and the best dates are awarded to other places, this city might experience diffi culty in trying to arrange a meet later J V. . .

Thursday, the first day of the Salem meeting will be devoted to general fair business, while the second will witness the allotment of 1913 racing dates and a discussion of plans for the season.

LOGGING WORK RESUMED Loner Columbia River District Again Alive, Snow Disappearing. ASTORIA, Or.. Feb. S. (Special.) Logging operations in the camps in the Lower Columbia River district are gradually being resumed. The Brix Logging Company started up today and those in the Deep River section are also arranging, to haul logs within a few days, the greater portion of snow having disappeared. On the south side of the river the conditions are about the same. Some of the camps are running and others are making active preparations. The So renson camp will start up next Mon day. In the meantime, owing to the temporary" scarcity of logs, following the recent shut-down, there Is some talk of prices being raised $1 a thou sand feet. While this may be done in some in stances, the best information obtain able indicates that the advance will not be general, as the majority of the log gers realize that such a rise would handicap the mills until the demand for lumber Is such as to warrant an in crease in the price of that commodity, and would redound to the disadvantage of the loggers themselves so soon as the old camps and several new ones that are being Btarted are in full op eration next Spring.
