Not until next Saturday will there be
a semblance of a game. Although there
are almost men enough who have re
ported already to commence the famil
iar sessions between the Yannigans and
the Regulars, Howard Is in no hurry

When the games do start they will be

'Aggies" Take on Pendleton
Man for Ten Weeks.
MORALS ARE CONSIDERED
When Team Is Turned Out Texan
Expected to Join Pitching Staff
of Colts or Another Team In
Northwestern League.
Jesse T. Garrett, last year's man
ager of ' the Pendleton club of the
Western Tri-State League, and pitcher
for four years on Portland teams, will
coach the Oregon "Aggies" this sea
son. Garrett will commence a 10
weeks contract with Oregon Agricul
tural College on Saturday.
Garrett was elected yesterday by
the Athletic Board of Control at the
Corvallls .institution, the members ac
cepting a proposition submitted by
Garrett on February L He will rank
among the best paid college baseball
coaches in the West.
It will not be the first college coach
ing experience for Jesse as he pro
duced four western - Texas champions
in live years when tutoring the
John Tarlton College nine at Steph
ensvllle, Texas, the Institution from
which he was graduated.
Garrett started his professional
baseball career at Dallas, Texas, In
1906. McCredie drafted hftn for the
Beavers In the Fall of 1907, and he
pitched for the Coasters during 1908,
09, '10. In 1911 he Joined Nick Wil
liams' Portland Colts and last year
managed the Pendleton team.
"One reason why Garrett was named
coach of our boys for the coming sea
son is that he is a clean-cut, moral
chap. Just the type of man we wish to
come in contact with our athletes,"
said Dr. J. E. Stewart. "Aggie" ath
letic director, over the telephone yes
terday. "He Is a quiet fellow, doesn't
drink, smoke or chew, and in addition
knows baseball and how to handle col
lege players."
Dr. Stewart, who coached baseball
last season, will devote his attention
to the track squad this season. With
Dr. Stewart at the meeting, which re
sulted in the selection of Garrett, were
Leroy McKenzle and S. W. Richard
son, representing the students, and
Dean Cordley, representing the faculty.
When Garrett ends his coaching
work for the season he will either ac
cept a position in Portland or Join the
pitching start of the Colts or some
other Northwestern League club.

Portland's New Southpaw Is
Reported to Be in High
Favor With Fans.
EARLY RECORD IS CITED
Denerit Sunday for Claire Patterson,
Who Is Critically 111 With: Tu
berculosis, Said to Have
Netted Oaks $1500.
" Br roscoe: fawcett.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 26. (Spe
cial.) Harry Krause. Portland's new
southpaw twirling addition, wm ao.
He is in shape to begin the season
tomorrow, and will need only light
work at Vi3alia. Krause pitched six
innings in a benefit game for Claire
Patterson at Oakland Sunday against
the Coast champions, and, while he
was touched 'up for four safe swats,
netting five tallies, he rallied down the
stretch and Lowenberg's pickups de
feated the Oaks, 6 to 5, in ten innings.
Krause is a big young fellow with
an easy swing, and all the Coast
leaguers who have batted against hjm
believe that he will prove a star at
traction. Cy Parkin pitched part of
the game for the Oaks Sunday, and
the megaphone vocalist praised Krause
highly.
The remaTkable first-season record
of Tesreau,- of the New York Giants,
last year has been touted far and wide
as a world's record. But, be It known
that Krause Is the original debutante.
and he has the dope to show it.
Krause achieved the unique distinction,
back in 1909, of winning every one of
the first ten games he pitched for
the Philadelphia Americans, including
three victories over the champion .De
troit team, the Tigers scoring but one
run in the three games.
In the ten successive victories
Krause was scored on only four times,
six belnc shutouts. Ills first defeat
was by St. Louis after a desperate 11-
innlng battle. The complete recora oi
Krause's run of victories is as fol
lows: Mav 8 Defeated Washington 1 to O,
Burns, Hughes and Smith pitching. Three
hits.
May 17 Defeated Chicago 1 to 0, ,with
Scott pitching. Five hits.
May 29 Defeated Boston 6 to 2, Arellanea
and Ryan pitching. Four hits.
June 1 Defeated Boston 1 to 0, Ryan
pitching. 6!x hits.
June lo ipieaieu ucireii o iu
Willett and Suggs pitching. Six hits.
June 23 Defeated Washington 3 to 0,
Smith pitching. Six hits.
.Tn 2ft Defeated Boston 3 to 0. Ryan
and Burchell pitching. Five hits.
July 2 Defeated .boston 1 to u, wooo
pitching. Four hits.
July 8 Defeated Detroit 3 to 1, Willett
pitching. Six hits.
July 11 Defeated Detroit 7 to 1. Mullin
and Klllian pitching. Four hits.
Krause seems to have excellent con
trol, but says he has been troubled
with his arm the past two or three
seasons. He thinks the Coast weather
will help him out.
The benefit ball game Sunday be
tween Lowenberg's pickups and the
Oaks netted $1600 for Claire Patterson,
the Oak outfielder. Patterson is lying
at the point of death on the MoJave
desert in Southern California, suffer
ing from tuberculosis.
Besides Krause, two otner roruana
Dlavers were in the pickup batting
order, Cunningham, left field, and
Norton, first base, cunningnam pool
ed one chance in the field, and, as lead
off man, Becured one blngle In five
times up, as did Norton, tfotn are
highly touted youngsters.
"Hap" Smith is tired , of the North
west, and will likely not report to
Nick Williams in the Spring. He had
a talk with Cal Ewlng at San Jose
the other day, and as a Tesult will show
up at Boyes Springs with the Seals.
Ewine has not signed him, DUt it omitn
as the mighty wallop he claims, he
rill be retained as utility outrieiaer.
Ralph Willis. Vancouver pitcher,
came in by boat from Seattle a few
days back, bound ostensibly for the
Southern League, where ne win en
deavor to hook on.
Seventeen Pacific Coast League play
ers came in on Comiskey's White Sox
SDeclal from Chicago Sunday, but not
one Portland star was numbered on the
roster. The Beavers report a week
later than other Coast clubs, and for
this reason the Sox special was not
patronized.
"Rowdy" Elliott, Happy Hogan's new
Southern League backstop, was one
of the Sox special arrivals. If he is
the rowdy his press agents paint nim
he certainly belles his looks, for he is
a stocky, quiet-appearing chap. ,

The Lincoln High School basketball
quintet closed its 1913 Portland inter
scholastic schedule by cinching second
place honors yesterday when it de
feated the Columbia University five 44
to 19 on the Y. M. C. A. floor.
The feature of the game was the ac
curate passing of the entire Lincoln
team and the sensational basket shoot
ing of Cudlipp, forward for the vic
torious five. He shot seven field bas
kets, and a majority of them were dif
ficult. Columbia played a loose game
and disappointed its followers by Its
poor showing. The players failed to
guard their men and failed to pass
with any accuracy.
Gage at guard and Dudley at center
played a superb game for Lincoln and
each player managed to throw five field
baskets. C. Larsen, the star Columbia
forward, played up to his past per
formances and proved the main point
getter of his team. He shot five bas
kets and did a great deal of passing
to the other players. J. Larson a.t
guard was the only other player on the
Columbia team to score. He shot two
baskets. The game was free from
roughness and was clean, save for a
few excusable fouls. The following is

BERRY KEEPS WIRE HOT
EX-SEAL CATCHER DICKERIXG
YET WITH COLTS.
Xick Amazed at Message When Be
lief Is Backstop Had Already
Closed With Beavers.
Claude Berry, the ex-Seal catcher
who has accepted terms with the Bea
vers, Is lavish in his expenditure of
money for telegraphic tolls and appar
ently much befuddled over his "do you
want me?" campaign. Yesterday after
noon Nick Williams received a tele
gram from Berry, the catcher sending
word from Maricopa, Cal., that he will
give Nick a definite answer Friday or
Saturday regarding the signing of a
Colt contract.
Nick was much surprised to receive
the message from the catcher already
counted on the Beaver roll and is
anxiously awaiting developments. He
would like to have Berry for the Colts
and could not smother his chagrin
when the receiver passed up the North
western League club for the longer
season of the Beavers.
Danny Shay, former Kansas City
manager, is to have a club in the Union
Association, according to advices Nick
Williams, has received from Rocky
Mountain friends. Shay was a pros
pective owner of the Tacoma franchise
last season, but the deal fell through
and Watklns secured the club.
Nick .Williams leaves Sunday night
for California. He will inspect quar
ters at Santa Rosa, where his Colts re
port for training on March 17, and then
go to San Francisco for a few days'
visit with relatives. Then he goes to
Visalia to watch the Beavers and back
up to Santa Rosa with several recruits
In tow.
The new uniforms of the Beavers,
white for home and blue for the road,
are sidetracked in the snow up in

The 1913 Pacific Northwest Associa

ships will be staged at Seattle on May
9 and 10. Edgar E. Frank, president
of the association and indoor athletics
chairman of Multnomah Amateur Ath

land last Spring and a number of these
men will defend their titles at Seattle.
