10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TTH7RSDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1913. BEAVERS SECURE KRAUSE IN TRADE Crack Toledo Southpaw Is Turned Over for Gregg and Henderson. . PITCHING CORPS NOW SOLID With Iligginbotlinni, Hascrman, AVest, James, Krapp. Stanley, Car son and Hj-nes, Also Krause, McCredie Is Satisfied. BY. ROSCOE FAWCETT. - Follow-in . conference between Cleve land and Toledo baseball officials yes terday at Toledo, it was officially an nounced that tsouthpaw Krause will wear a Portland Coast League uniform tn 1913. As predicted several days ago, Uave Gregy has been transferred tJ Toledo, along- with Benny Henderson, In part payment for Krause. The deal is one of the most important of the year Involving the local Coast '.eaaue club, and, while Manas" Jlc Credle has yet received no definite word of the transfer, it Is undoubtedly authentic. Greg is a young brother of V'ean Gregg, the Nap southpaw, and has been dallying- along with Portland for two years. Pitchers Coat S12.0UO. McCredle declared Inst Fall, when he began the reconstruction of the Reav ers, that the assembling of a solid pitching corps would be his chief en deavor, lie seems to be making good. The purchase of Krause means that ap proximately $12,500 has now been spent for new twlrlers alone. In addition, McCredie has bought Derrick. McCor mlrk, Korea and Loan for infield and catching work, and, with another backstop to come, it is no exaggeration to estimate the total cost of the re habilitation of the Portland champions at close to 116,000 or $17,000. Nine twlrlers now grace the hurling roster, only one of whom, Hlgglnbotham, was a Beaver in 1912. Hagerman was purchased from Lincoln for $2500; James. West and Krause from Toledo: Krapp from Cleveland; Stanley from the Phillies, and Carson, in trade, from Vernon, Hynes, a youngster, was drafted from - the Kastern Canada League, but will be turned over to the local class B team after trial. Two of the eight veterans,. Krause and Stanley, are southpaws, and for that reason MrCredie is not expected to press his claim for Southpaw Wil son, who is to be turned back in the, draft by the Naps. If Portland waives. Wilson will likely be sent to New Orleans. McCredle has often lamented that, outside of Vean Gregg, he has never possessed a winning southpaw. Last season he experimented with four port slders Suter, Girot, Stelger and HIrscn, Harry Krause should fill the .bill In 1913. The California southpaw has been in professional ball five years and has never finished below .500 in all that time. He had a most remarkable introduc tion to the majors at Philadelphia in 1S09. when he won ten straight games lor tne Athletics, and would be there today but for an Injury to his salary wing. Last year, after being turned over to Toledo by Connie Mack, he won 13 games and lost but four. ' Little wonder that McCredie has kept mum until he. received final assurance th the tall lad is his. Kranse'a Record Fine. Krause's record for the five years since Connie Mack plucked him off the college lots is as follows: W. I. p.c. JW! Harrisburir. Trl-Stsie 17 4 .S10 j: miiaaeipnia.

McCredie expects to meet Krause in San Francisco, en route to the Visalia training camp, and will take him along nn mm. ine remainder or tne Port land delegation will head directly southward from Sacramento, and will not go into San Francisco at all until ine opening of the season. April 1. center was notable. He has also played on the Hill basketball team in a fe games this season. Walter Muirhead, the Columbia Uni versity star high Jumper and hurdler, will not be out for baseball this sea son in order to be able to devote all of his time to track practice.

Bert Fitchner, who was claimed by the Western Tri-State League club, appealed to the National Commission and was declared a free rent. He then signed with the Colts. Fitchner and McBride Joined La Grande last Summer, and when the management failed to present con tracts, the men were technically not the property of the club. At the close f the season, after the men were paid. they refused to sign contracts. La Grande claimed both men but Fitch- er won his case and the McBride af fair is identical. As a matter of fact lubs which use players not under contract are subject to fine and games won in which such men participate do not count. McBride is one of Joe Cohn's vic tims. He signed a Spokane contract last Fall. The other day he heard that Cohn had released him but had received no word from the Indian boss, and is nable to close for another berth until e Is apprised of his status.
