Regular Itaenp Named.
The Regular squad chosen by Cap
tain Rodpers was as follows: Flshor,
catcher; Krause, pitcher; lerrlck, first
base; Rodgers, second base; Korea,
shortstop; MoGormlck, thtrd base;
Krueger, Chad bourne and loano, out
field. Fitzgerald, Krapp, Mariott and
Heilmann comprised the "Java" In
field, Higglnbotham, Cunningham and
West the outfield, while James and
J Berry were In the battery points.
' The personnel of the first squad dele-
gated to represent the veterans Is lti-
teresting. Inasmuch as the Beavers
will line up practically that way for
J the opening game against San Fran
it Cisco April 1. Higglnbotham or Car-
son will pitch, but the eight other
positions will probably be filled as
J outlined above unless Injuries cause
i McCredie to change his mind.
"I haven't decided on my outfield

boarding the early morning train for
' Stockton to complete training arrange
ments there, "and I may not do so

handed pitcher will open."

Any way It goes McCredie will hold

BOTES SPRINGS, Cal March It.
(Special.) Two particular Seal stars of
today's practice game were Walter
Cartwrlght at third, and Joe Wagner at
second. Besides poling the ball over
the left field fence, which Is some 90
feet further back than the left field
one at Recreation Park, Wagner laced
nut a triple and two singles. In the
fielding line. Joe handled seven chanoes
perfectly, making an .unassisted double
play.
Cartwrlght was there with a home
run drive to center field and banged
two more safeties. He had but four
chances on the defensive, but a couple
of them were Instrumental in proving
that he Is a pretty sure fielder. On the
bases, Carty pilfered two sacks on
Sepulveda.
Bobby Coltrln, the shortstop, of the
Portland Northwestern League team,
arrived today and will do some training
until Nick Williams and his squad ar
rive at Santa Rosa.

Young Bill Cunningham Is the life
of the camp. Harry Krause had a
good laugh at the San Francisco lad's

The Bills are well represented in the
Portland camp. Among the Williams
are Rodgers, Cunningham, James,
Fortler and Lindsay.
Berghammer, the shortstop who may
come to Sacramento from the Chicago
Cubs, played at Lincoln, Neb., with
Hagerman last season. He was drafted
and when the Cubs asked for waivers

Hagerman pronounces him the best
shortstop in the Western League In
1912. with Kores a close second. If ht

him go to Wolverton.

expects to have a great season, better
even than in 1911 when he helped win
the pennant.
Chester Chadbourne is nursing a

boxing and Powers Is the choice at the
latter weight.
The other men for the Seattle pro

TRAINING CAMP
For four long seasons 1907, 1908,
190K and 1910 West pitched good ball
at Toledo, leading the staff In 1909.
Finally, in 1911, he again looked rips
for faster company and the Naps save
him another opportunity.
"I could beat Detroit, but didn't aeem
to be quite up to major standards,"
said he. 'briefly explaining his big
league experiences. "I licked Ty Cobb
two games out of three, but landed
back in Toledo in July of 1911."
Last year West started bis sixth sea
son at Toledo and won nine games of
his first 15 for a percentage of .800.
Cleveland, in the meantime, took a
fancy to a Nashville filnger named
Walker, now serving time In the "pen"
for his part In a shooting escapade, and
West was traded to Nashville for
Walker.
In the Southern League West won
seven games and lost three, giving him
li victories and nine defeats for the
season, or a percentage of .40. This
was better than Klawltter did for
Portland, as he closed with a percent
age of .622 and Higglnbotham .613.
If he maintains that pace he should
prove a standby with the Beavers.

LOS ANGELES INTERESTED
Sport Writers Agree Youngster Is
Box of Irrnainlto and Not to Be
Overlooked Knockout Brown's
Boosters : Are Few.
BY JAKB3 H. CASSBLU
If Oregon and Northwestern boxing
fans who are intensely Interested In
the Bud Anderson-Knockout - Brown
fight on Saturday in the Vernon arena
should gather at Bud s Los Angeles
training camp, the Vancouver light
weight would be forced to migrate to
the New York polo grounds to accom
modate the crowd, and then throngs
would be battering at the gate. Which
means that describing the Interest In
the 20-round mill as "Intense" Is far
from exaggeration.
Portland fans evince a personal In
terest in the bout which means so
much to Anderson. Vancouver, Wash.,
and Medford are the hotbeds of par
tisan feeling, for Bud was born at
Vancouver and engaged In bis climb
er" bouts at Medford; but reports from
Astoria, Rainier, Pendleton and many
other Oregon points Indicate that few
championship bouts attraot more at
tention.
Never has the Northwest boasted of a
lightweight boxer so near the top of
the ring: ladder, and fandom Is enjoying
the novelty to the limit. "Our Bud" Is
a phrase which lingers on the tongue
of every man, woman or child who
follows the doings of ring exponents.
Possibly, but not probably, the Jeffries-Johnson
fight elicited more com
ment in Oregon and Southwestern
Washington, but the personal equation
was missing.
Bud Is 10-to-d Favorite.
Peculiarly, Anderson, whose most
creditable performance is a six-round
knockout over Sammy Trott, the Co
lumbus trial horse, is a 10-9 favorite
in the betting over Brown, who
knocked out Harlem Tommy Murphy In
one round, fought Ad Wolgast off his
feet, and performed otherwise with
great credit.
Anderson's position in fisticuffs Is
problematical. The critics and the pub
lic like him. as attested by the wager
ing odds. He has had no real test, but
an display a disposition to give Bud
the shade of the argument and await
developments before passing final
judgment.
Here are a couple of notes gleaned
from the Los Angeles Times, which
give fandom a line on Bud's rating
among the Southerners:
"Willie Ritchie has joined the fugi
tive champion class. There will be
nothing left for Joe Rivers to do ex
cept to come back and take on some of
the boys like Bud Anderson. They will
be more dangerous and a heap sight
less profitable than Ritchie.
""How good do . you think Bud An
derson is?" asked the sporting editor.
" 'Nobody - knows including - Bud
himself.'
' 'He licked George Memslc'
" 'Poor old George. The guy had
ought to have been arrested.'
" 'He beat Sammy Trott.'
" 'Well, could you imagine anybody
who couldn't beat Sammy Trott?"
"Spark Plug McCloskey lit a cigar
ette and rose to go."
King Says Bad Will Win.
"This here Bud Anderson," he said
with finality, "is a package that looks
like dynamite. He might be nothin' but
sawdust inside, but he ain't safe to
monkey with. Rivers and Ritchie had
better take the boat." "
Jack King, who is one of the original
Anderson men, says that Bud will win
within 12 rounds. Jack has been
around both Nelson and Wolgast and
declares that Anderson Is twice as
strong as either ex-champion, and is a
sure winner.
Pete Grant predicts a victory for Bud
but he looks for the affair to go more
than 15 rounds. Pete bases his prophecy
on Bud's strength, gained by clean out
door living, his punch and superior
boxing ability.
Ed Diedrich, while wishing Bud the
best of luck, picks Brown to win.
"I think Anderson has a glass jaw,"
says the sage of Schiller's corner.
"Brown has a mighty wallop and is
likely to connect. I figure that Bud
must win In six or eight rounds or not
at all."
And so the argument goes on. But,
no matter what opinions may be ex
pressed, few, if any, will be "pulling"
for Knockout Brown to win on Satur
day afternoon.
o MATINEES SCHEDULED
RIVERSIDE MUVIXG CLUB TO
HOLD SUNDAY RACES.
Some Events May Be Staged at Van
couver, bat Majority Will Be at
Forest Grove.
The Riverside Driving Club will
stage eight racing matinees this sea
son. This was decided upon at a
meeting of the members of the club
last night.
The season will open with a card on
May 30, Decoration day, at the Forest
Grove track, which will be the future
home of the club. Sunday racing will
be a feature this season, as the mem
bers claimed six Sunday dates for
races which will probably be run at
Forest Grove, although the club may
stage two at Vancouver.
The Clark County Fair Association

dering the use of its track in Van
couver for racing during the Summer.

ing on the Washington track, and the
club is considering this matter.
