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

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:

He is wintering in California, and is
in great shape, as he has been pitching
ior various clubs In th Golden State
orr and on since last Fall.
McCredie expects to meet Krause in
San Francisco, en route to the Visalia
training camp, and will take him along

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Feb. 19. (Special.) Desperate after
their disastrous week in the north,
Oregon s cripples are bending every
possible effort toward the basketball
games with Washington Friday an2
Saturday nights. Trainer Hayward has
eased up In his practice, and only
light signal work is being Indulged in.
The Oregon team returned home
Monday with a record of one victory
and five defeats on its Invasion of
Washington and Idaho. When ths
squad left it was In line for the North
west conference championship, but it
returned hopelessly out of the run
ning. In spite of the double defeats by
Washington and Pullman and the even
break with Idaho, there is a feeling
here that the Oregon team will yet
show "class" on its own floor.

George E. Stevens, formerly of Su
perior, Neb., and now mathematics In
structor in Omaha High School, would
rather gaze upon the cheering or Jeer
Ing faces of Northwestern League fans
from the vantage point of the twirling
mound than upon the upturned faces
of the ardent seekers after knowledge
from a classroom platform. He has
resigned his position as instructor and
will change his conventional pedagogi
cal garb for a Portland Northwestern
uniform.
Nick Williams, manager of the Colts,
was the recipient of the above in
formation yesterday, the Nebraska
State Leaguer announcing his resig
nation from the instructors berth and
expressing confidence In his ability
to make good In the Northwestern
League this season.
Stevens is a right-handed twirler
and former college mate of Ward Mc
Dowell in the University of Nebraska.
In 1911 he led the pitchers of the Ne
braska State League, winning 18 and
losing 6 games for Superior. Last year
he had a sore arm and did not rank at
the top, but McDowell recommended
him to Williams, declaring that the
bad arm was a thing of the past and
Nick sent him a contract
Whitey" McBride, La Grands catch
er of last season, is involved in the
La Grande mlxup over failure to sign
players. 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.
"Whitey has been offered Jobs with
Missoula and several Western Tri
State Clubs, but expects to catch on
with Tacoma if Cohn releases him.
Albany is after a game with the
Portland Colts before the opening of
the team at Spokane on April 15. Nick
Willams expects to send his boys
against the Albany squad on April 10
or 11, figuring the Salem game for
April 12, immediately preceding the
Sunday tussle in Portland.
...
Williams has practically closed ne
gotiatlons for a game between the
Colts and the Sacramento Senators for
Sacramento on Sunday, March 30. Nick
has promised to stay at Santa Rosa
for two weeks following March 17 but
expects to arrange for the clash at
Sacramento.

Ewing Releases Bonner, Aner and

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19. (Special.)
Cal Ewing started cutting his large
squad of ballplayers this afternoon pre
paratory to going into Spring training
quarters. Three men received their
releases and all will go to the Spokane
club In the Northwestern League. They
are Pitcher Bonner, Catcher Auer and
iniieiuer joae. Conner sent wura amy
the other day that both he and his wife
were suffering slight attacks of small
pox at Lewlston, Idaho, and that he
would be late in reporting. He pitched
the last few weeks of last season for
the Seals, but is not considered fast
enough for this year's team.
Auer is the catcher who was carried
all through last season, though he
played the bench until the last few
weeks. He is considered a promising
man and will pick up the needed expe
rience in the Northwestern League.
Ewing could find no place on his squad
for Billy Yohe.
