' Manager McCredle, of the Portland
Coast Leaguers, returned from a brief
.jaunt to Stockton this afternoon and
for an hour conferred with Nick WIL
. Jfams, manager of the Portland North
western League club, who arrived earl
ier In the day from San Francisco to
.look over the surplus AA material.
sr "I guess about the only reinforce
ments from the Coast Leaguers will be
t15 old uniforms and a box in which to
ship them to Santa Rosa." declared
Manager Williams alter tne conxaD.
"Outfielder Fortier and Pitcher
Hynes have already been ordered to
.the Colts; Walter McCredle has de
cided to hold onto Thirdbaseman Heil
tnann until April IS and be says he' will
make no cut in his staff of eight pitch
ers until about May I.
Colts Don't Weed Marlott.
1 "I don't want Mariott, the other in
fielder, so you see there is not much
or me to do here except look over the
two kid catchers. Loan and Riordan.
McCredie has offered mo my pick of
two. I will wait until March 29. when
we are playing at Sacramento, and will
hop over to Stockton that night and if
I need a backstop will chose one of
the lads."
j. Williams present receiving corps
consists of Harris, veteran, and Bliss
and Murray, recruits. Bliss has been
catching in the western Canada Lea
gue. Manager Williams will remain
here until .tomorrow night, returning
then to San Francisco. His B leaguers
will report at Santa Rosa, March 17.
- Williams has arranged three games
with San Francisco, March 21 at Santa
Rosa, and the two following days at
Boyes Springs. He also expects to
land a practice date with the White
Sox seconds at Santa Rosa for March
. The Colts meet Sacramento March
29. and 30. That the Portland Coast
Leaguers will quit Visalia March 21 for
Stockton Is the final decision or Man
ager McCredie as a result of his hur
ried trip. He arranged his practice
schedule at Stockton to read March 22
and 23 and March 29 and 30.
Heavers to Travel by Boat.
On the final Sunday night the Bea
vers will embark aboard boat which
will land them in San Francisco on the
eve of the league opening April 1.
Mac will be joined at Stockton by Mrs.
McCredie.
The Beavers will meet the crack ne
gro aggregation, the American Giants
of Chicago, tomorrow, in the first of
four games. Will James will make his
debut working the first five Innings.
Hlgglnbotham will close. The regular
club will be aligned against the negroes
with one exception. Derrick at first.
The Toledo man is limping around on
a lame foot ostensibly because of a
twisted ligament, but it Is hinted that
liis antipathy for the black has some
what accentuated the extent of his In
juries. Derrick is a Southerner, hailing
from Georgia, and freely admits that
he does not like the Idea of meeting
negroes on terms of equality.
In any event Chadbourne will prob
ably be found at first with Doane in
left, Krueger in center and either Fitz
gerald or Cunningham in right.
The team enjoyed two tine workouts
today under perfect skies.
KRAUSE TO BE PINCH HITTi&R
Southpaw Bears Reputation for Be
ing Good Batsman.
VISALIA, Cal., March 12. (Special.)
' Harry Krause will likely be the offi
cial Portland Coast League pinch hitter
this year. In any event, the southpaw
will be frequently used in the cleanup
role, for he is said to be a batsman
with a reputation for connecting in the
pinches.
Last season at Toledo, In the Ameri
can Association, he batted .281, and in
1911 the records show that he finished
with a mark of .254 with Philadelphia
in the American League. This was on
a par with Rollle Zeider, and better
than Willie Hogan, the St. Louis out
fielder now with the Seals.
Griggs, the Nap cleanup hitter,
batted only .250 that year. Bill Lindsay
.S2. and Hank Butcher .241.
Krause steps into the ball in fine
style, and, in the preliminary batting
practices, meets the leather squarely
nearly every time. As a fungo hitter
nobody on the squad can show him up.

Notes From the Beaver Camp.
VISALIA, CaL, March 12. (Special.)
Happy Hogan has a good club at
Venice, according to Wllkie Clark, the
veteran ball player, who arrived a day
or two ago to take charge of the
Visalia tossers. "They licked my Occi
dental Collegians 8-0, and showed a
lot of class," said he. "These two new
catchers. Tonneman and Elliott, look
mighty good. Elliott is a short, stocky
fellow, and made a bome run against
Mike McCormick played short for
Brooklyn several years back, when
"Pop" Dillon, the Angel manager, was
holding down the initial sack.
Frank Finch, a rancher living at
Lemon Cove, traveled 30 miles to
shake hands with Walter McCredie last
week. Both bail from Cherokee, la.,
where they met 12 or 14 years ago.
McCredie was delighted to hear that Hi
Jones is now barberlng at Corpus
Chrlsti, Texas, and that Ren Benks
runs a corner grocery store at Bones
Junction, Mo.
Pitcher HI West feels at home in
training quarters. He was assigned to
a room corresponding with his 1912
batting average 53 or 63, or some
high figure like that.
V
Irve Htgglnbotham, who may open
the season for Portland against San
tranclsco, April 1, was especially .ef
fective against the Seals last season.
He won six or' seven from them and
lost but two games in the season, he
says. Hig broke even with Oakland
and Vernon and had easy pickings
with Sacramento. "I played under Del
Howard for two years at Louisville, so
know his batting weaknesses as well
as anybody," said Hig.

Mika McCormick. new Portland
Coast League inflelder, who stands
but S feet t inches tall, yet has been
playing baseball for ten years and has
managed players twice as big as him
self.
McCormick is the only player on the
Portland Beavers who has worn the
managerial ermine. He is a Jersey
City native and began his diamond
career with Holyoke in the Connecti
cut State League In 1904.
He held down short and
third for Holyoke with such
success that the Brooklyn Nationals
drafted him for 1905 and he drew pay
there for two seasons, 1905 and 1906,
under Ned Hanlon. Then, although
only 23 years old, he was shipped back
to Holyoke as manager of that club in
1907. He lacked the experience and
was a trifle weak at the bat to stick
in the majors.
At Holyoke he again proceeded to

FOE BERTHS ON BEAVER TEAM
BOXERS ARE SUSPENDED
STRINGENT STEP TAKEN TO
PURGE AMATEUR RANKS.
Divorce From Professionalism in
Any Form to Be Complete, Says
Secretary T. SSorrls Dunne.
Determined to divorce professional-
Ism from the amateur boxing ring of
Portland, T. Morris Dunne, secretary of
the Pacific Northwest Association of the
Amateur Athletic Union, has suspended
four boxers and issued an order that
amateurs cannot compete in unsanc
tioned meets. In addition all clubs must
furnish a list of all contestants with
their registration numbers, immediate
ly following each programme.
Joe Swain, a former Multnomah Club
lightweight; Harry Mahoney, a Colum
bus Club 150-pounder; Bert Forbes,
115-pounder, who has boxed unattached
in a number of recent smokers, and
Bush, a lightweight, are the suspended
mittmen. Their offense lay in receiv
ing money for boxing for the Areleta
Club.
The Lents, Sellwood and Arleta clubs
are under tnvestigaton, the evdence at
hand showing that boxers who partici
pated in programmes for these clubs
received from fa to $10 each for their
services. .,
"The offense of the Arleta Club peo
ple was the result of ignorance more
than anything else, says Mr. Dunne.
"They are going to reorganize and ap
ply for admittance to the P. N. A., so
hereafter will be all right.
"I am going to do what 1 can to pre
vent these boys from receiving money
and attempting to retain their amateur
standings. No one can box amateur one
night and professional the next. Bona
tide prizes are legitimate, but receiving
money or selling prizes are not.
Of the suspended athletes, Mahoney,
of Columbus Club, is the most promi
nent. He has been mentioned as a
probable entry In the championships in
Seattle in May. Other boys may be sus
pended in a few days.

MARQUAKUfilAKKiES
AND SIGNS TO PLAY
Giant Pitcher Weds Vaudeville
Partner and Soon After Ac
cepts McGraw's Terms.
RUBE NERVOUS AT ALTAR
Blossom Seeley Becomes Bride of
Star "Holdout" of New York
Team, Who, After Winning
Wife, Signs Contract.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 12. (Special.-)
Rube Marquard signed a con
tract here tonight to pitch for the New
York Nationals for the coming season.
Dick Kinsella, scout for the Giants,
booked the big twirler several hours
after he had been married to Miss
Blossom Seeley. a vaudeville actress,
who has been his partner on the stage.
The marriage occurred at 4 d'clock
this afternoon at the home of Rev.
Henry S. Feix, pastor of the St. Mark's
Lutheran Church. James Cullen, who
has been touring a vaudeville circuit
for the past 14 years, was best man,
while Mrs. Cullen attended the bride.
In the marriage license the big
southpaw gave his name as Richard
de Marquis, 23 years old, and his bride
as Katherine Kane, 22.
Marquard Very Nervous.
"Rube" was very nervous.
"He wai so anxious to get her," said
the Rev. Mr. Feix, "that he answered
all my questions before I finished
them." ' '
"Rube" lost no time kissing his
bride after the couple had been pro
nounced man and wife.
Prior to his marriage Marquard an
nounced that he and McGraw had come
to terms and after closing in vaude
ville at Los Angeles, he would join
the Giants at Baltimore.
"I heard from McGraw through Dick
Kinsella this morning," said Rube,
"and the boss of the Giants has finally
agreed to pay me the salary I demand
ed. I told Kinsella to telegraph Mc
Graw to send me a contract, which
means that I will be with my team
when the season opens. I am in
splendid condition right now and it
will not take more than a week's train
ing to put me at my very best"
Pay Said to Be $10,000.
Marquard would not tell the exact
terms of his contract, but intimated
that his salary would be in the neigh
borhood of $10,000 the amount that he
has demanded all along, and the same
money received by Christy Mathewson.
. Doubtless the hesitancy on the part
of McGraw to give In to the terms of
the star portsider the chap who won
19 games in a row was due to the
fact that he carried Marquard for two
years before Rube was of any use to
the club. All that time, while the
sporting writers were criticising Mc
Graw for hodlng a useless twirler, the
manager insisted that Marquard would
sooner or later astonish the baseball
fans and be worth his salary.
After the performance tonight, Mr.
and Mrs. Marquard entertained at a
wedding supper in a downtown res
taurant. The only variance in the stories told
by Marquard and Kinsella is in the
time of reporting. According to a state
ment issued by Kinsella tonight, Mar
quard will close his vaudeville engage
ment when he winds up on Saturday
night. He will then leave in company
with Kinsella for Texas to join the
Giants.
Kinsella Btxea Terms.
"The agreement entered into on
which Marquard Joins the Giants is
entirely satisfactory to all concerned,"
said Kinsella tonight. "That is as
much as I care to say about the mat
ter. Naturally 1 am pleased at the
successful termination of getting into
touch with Marquard.
McGraw commissioned me to corral
Rube, and I did it. I used my own
judgment in drawing up the contract,
but I know it will stand. Rube held
out at first because he wasn't sure
what his bride-to-be thought about it,
but when she agreed, he did not hesi
tate." HEAVY TRAINING CEASES
BUB ANDERSON, CONTFIDENT, TO
TRY FOB SPEED NOW. -
Vancouver Lightweight Expects to
Finish Knockout Brown In Ten
Rounds Worth Appreciated.
LOS ANGELES, Cat, . March 12.
(Special.) The bulk of heavy training
Is over so far as Bud Anderson and
Knockout Brown are concerned. The
two lightweights went through their
final hard day s work at the training
camps yesterday and from now on they
merely will work for speed and try
to keep on edge until next Saturday,
when they climb through the ropes at
Vernon.
There is nothing but confidence
throughout ' both camps. Brown is
sure that he will redeem himself for
his recent defeat by decisively beating
the Vancouver boy and Anderson pre
dicts that he will beat Brown in less
time than it took for Rivers to turn
the trick.
"I look upon Brown with greater
respect than anyone else in Los Ange
les," said Anderson today.
"If the fight-going fans will stop to
consider the real worth of the New
Yorker, they will not underestimate
his worth in the last fight, I know, for
1 watched his last fight and 1 expect to
stop him within 10 rounds and maybe
sooner.
"Making a statement may sound like
bragging, but then if a fellow hasn't
got a certain amount of confidence in
himself, who will have it in him?"
Dick Donald, Bud Anderson and Fred
Anderson may take a trip to Medford
after the fight with Brown Saturday
in case there is no other big game in
sight soon. If Anderson defeats
Brown easily, he figures that Russell
would not be a good drawing card. He
wants Rivers. Then, too, there is a
report that while Donald has been in
Los Angeles his heart was left in Med
ford.
