While it's a trifle early for train
ins announcements, opening day bat
terlea and all such interesting base
ball formalities, Manager McCredie. of
the Portland Coast Leaguers, started
the ball rolling yesterday by deciding
not to condition his 1914. champions-
to-be at Visalia, CaL, next March.
McCredie is thinking some of return
Ing to Santa Maria, where he developed
his 1910 and 1911 pennant winners.
But Mac's lnqulslturlent eye is con
cernd chiefly right now with a pro
posal made by the Honolulu Chamber
of Commerce tnat ne taKe nis atnieies
to the Hawaiian Islands to massa;
away the kinks.
The Honolulu business men propose
to Dar all expenses incidental to the
trip with climate thrown in free.
"My only objection to Honolulu,
said Mao yesterday, "is that it re
quires six days aboard boat to land
us back in 8 an Francisco and a week
on the briny deep isn't calculated to
do any athlete much good.
"If I accept that offer I will have
to order the boys to assemble February
15 instead of March 1. Then we can
spend three weeks at Honolulu and re
turn to California in time to get in
10 days' good licks around the Bay
Cities.
"If the Beavers don't take the trip
I have four California towns in mind
for a Spring camp. They are Santa
Maria, Santa Barbara. San Bernardino
and Hanford."
Dickey Bayless, of Venice, and Davis
and Speas, of Portland, were the bat
ting leaders in the Coast League, sea

official averages discloses quite a
array, but here are some of the rip
boys as Judged by comparing the
batting marks for 1912 and for 1913:
1912. 1913.
Schirm. Oakland 313
Krueger, Los Angeles 289
McCormlck. Portland .-. 2j0
Wotell. Los Angeles.. 2U5
Metzger. Los Angeles 240
Becker. Oakland 825
Fitzgerald, Portland 3u5
Gill, Los Angeles 263
McCarl, San Francisco
Peters, Portland
Coulson, Portland 250
Belts, Oakland 2i2
Wolverton. Sacramento 300
Of course, this above morguish array
doesn't include all the disappointments
of the year, for it doesn t take into
reckoning those who fell below stand
ard In fielding endeavor. But it shows
at a glance how ball players perform
under varying conditions and how old
Father Time ultimately gets in his
licks.
Schirm came to me Oaks with
. wonderful reputation as a batsman at
Buffalo. He failed dismally both at
bat and in the field, where a bad wing
handicapped the speed merchant.
Schirm drew a release September
Art Krueger had always been a power
with the willow, but Dutch got off
so bad that McCredie was forced to
unload him on Los Angeles for Lober.
McCormick. Metzger and Coulson
never have been noted for their bat
ting, but this trio also enjoyed par
ticularly ill-timed slumps,
First Sacker "Doc" Gill meandered
from the American Association labeled
a fair hitter and with a 1912 average
of .263. But Doc couldn't hit a toy
balloon with a handful of shot against
Coast League pitchers. He, too, drew
a release along with McCormick, Coul
son and Schirm. Seltz, of the Oaks,
Texas League recruit, also fizzled and
was Initiated into the Tinware degree
Perhaps the biggest disappointment
of the year, however, was little jusun
Fitzgerald, the California poy wno nn
ished 1912 for Portland with a bat
average of a mere .355. Fits could
hit any and all sorts of flinging dur
ing 1912. Portland fans simply idol
ized the popular- collegian outfielder.
But when the curtain rolled away
Jor the 1913 panorama Fitz looked like
the biggest bloomer since the puncture
of the Mississippi Bubble. Fitz could
have missed a push ball with a broom,
Walt McCredie carried Justin along for
several weeks and then let him go to
the Portland Colts. After a few weeks
there Nick Williams released him and
he signed with Spokane, eventually
finding himself back in California
among the tule reeds.
Fitz, It is reported, rediscovered his
batting orb among the semi-pros late
in the Fall, so may get another trial
in the Coast circuit next March. But
for 1913 count Fitz among the lemons.
TINKER SIGNS WITH CINCINNATI
President Hermann Retains Man
ager Who Criticised His Methods.
CINCINNATI. Oct. JO. Manager Joe
Tinker, of the Cincinnati National
League club today signed a contract
to manage the team for the season of
1914. The signing followed a long con
ference between Thiker and President
Hermann at which the policy of the
club for next year was discussed.
The attaching of tho name of Man
ager Tinker to a contract sets at rest
the many rumcrs that have been cir
culated to the effect that Tinkr would
not be retained because of a state
ment given out in Philadelphia last
Summer in which he serely criticised
Herrmann's methods of interfering
with what Tinker believed were the
duties of the manager. At that time
Tinker insisted that he could not build
up a good team whet President Heri'
mann continued to make tiades with
out consulting him.
It was decided that the team w'll
train at Alexandria, La., next Spring.

Harvard Sends Distress Signal to

Hamilton R. Corbett, one-time half
back of the Harvard University foot
ball team, went Fast Monday to help
his alma mater in the big game of the
Kastern football calendar, which this
year takes place on November 22, when
Harvard meets Tale.
Mr. Corbett was one of the coaches
last year and recently he received word
that bis services would be acceptable
again. He will be one of Head Coach
Houghton's principal assistants and
will drill the individuals on blocking
These men will boost the meet to
e held by Multnomah Club November
13 and 14. The Pacific Coast to the
south will be represented by men from
the clubs of all the principal cities.
The Olympic Club will have at least
three entered. Among the first men
of this vicinity to announce their in
tention of taking part is Meagher, of
Vancouver. Meagher went down at
Beaverton two nights ago when
stacked against Al McNeil, but he hopes
to enter the 115-povnd boxing and
ond wrestling and get away with the
argument.
Ed Schmeer of Multnomah Club does
not feel right over the outcome of his
contest with Carlson at Beaerton
Wednesday night. He was hit by
straggling! haymaker from Carlson and
sent reeling in the fiiEt round. He
was knocked down three more times in
the same period. He came to in the
second but was still too dazed to do
much. In the third round he was get
ting along but he did not have time
to get back proper control of his fac
ulties. Carlson did not follow up the
advantage of the first tound, leaditig
the spectators to belie ve that the blow
which felled Schmeer was not his
regular style.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30. (Spe
cial.) "Frankie Burns and Bud Ander
son would make a good match, was
the remark'that came oh all sides from
fight fans, of San Francisco and Oak
land who saw the bout between the
Oregon chap and Louis Rees in Pied
mont Pavilion last night
Promoter Jimmy Rohan, casting
about for a Thanksgiving day card for
San Francisco, spent several hours to
day trying to arrange conditions that
would suit all hands.
Financially, the terms Tvere satisfac
tory, but the weight question bobbed
up and, -with Burns and Donald close
to the point of a personal encounter.
even Rohan admits that it is doubt
ful whether the pair will come to
gether. A definite answer is to be had
tomorrow, but unless the hotheads cool
down and come to tne point of com
promising, there seems little possi
bility.
Burns, it appears, when be was in
the ring, on the eve of the Anderson
Rees' battle, made a' few personal re
marks about Bud that the latter didn't
enjoy. All the conversation had been
passed on to Donald and the latter
had a chip on his shoulder . while he
was talking to the Oakland light
weight. Weight Stumbling Block.
Therefore,, although Donald and An
derson contend Bud can do 133 ring
side if need be, they will accept no
such proposition.
"What weight are you jnaKing ior
Johnny McCarthy next Friday night?"
challenged Donald, who knew all the
time.
"One hundred and thirty-five pounds
four hours before the fight" answered
Burns.
Well." answered Donald, "there i
so much talk about. Bud being a wel
terweight that I would prefer to make
a lighter weight, but he will fight you
under the same condition as you are
meeting McCarthy."
No chance." retorted Burns. "An
derson will have to make weight if he
wants to fight me. He will have to do
133 pounds four hours before the
fight"
Donald refused to consider such i
scheme and the personal equation en
tered into their remarks.
Match Up to Donald.
It is chiefly up to Donald, assuming
that he is sincere when he declares
that Bud is still a lightweight
San Francisco experts don t believe
Anderson will be able to make as good
as 135 pounds in the future, but Don
ald says he can and with the manager
it must be a case of fish or cut bait
1 am sure I can do 133 pounds,'
said Anderson tonight over the tele
phone from Billy Shannon's quarters.
I weighed between 137 and 139
pounds for this fight The trouble was
that I caught, a bad cold before the
mill and could not go ahead with my
training. Rather than disappoint the
crowd, the promoters agreed to let me
fight at catch weights. I was lighter
before this fight than for previous
matches in which I got down, to 133
without hurting myself and I 'can do
it again when there is need for it Ad
for the appendicitis. It didn't bother
me at alL . I felt just as strong after
the fight and all the way through It
as I did before I was sick."

ODDS FAVOR AGGIE SECONDS
Scrub Teams of State Institutions to
Flay on Kincaid Field.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or., Oct 30. (Special.) An "appetizer"
for the big fight between the Univer-
lty of Oregon and the Oregon Agricul
tural College at Albany will be seen
ere when the second teams of the two
state institutions clash - on Kincaid
Field tomorrow. This preliminary is
expected to be fully as spirited as the
main event with the odds favoring the
visitors on account of their quota of
veterans, ineligible for a regular con
ference contest
Both teams will be composed largely
of men who played in the freshman
game at Corvallis, which ended in a 7-to-7
draw. The stars of both line
ups, however, have been recruited for
first team duty, so that there will be
enough new blood to make the result
uncertain.
The Oregon scrubs are in fighting
trim from nightly scrimmages with
the stars of the varsity. Blgbee,
quarterback, will do the. kicking for
Bezdek's proteges. Grout and Anunsen,
two of last year's letter men, will be
available. Grout having recovered from
hla recent Injury.

Coach Rinehart's Players Hope to
Overcome Heavyweights If Field
Is Dry and Speedy.
The annual Washington High-Jeffer
son High football game will be played
on Multnomah field, starting at 3
o'clock this afternoon. The 'Washing
ton eleven will outwelght the Jefferson
players an average of more than 13
pounds to the man; but with a dry field
Coach Rinehart's players hope to off
set this handicap.
Last season the game was forfeited
to Washington by a score of 1 to 0 be
cause Coach Smith withdrew his team
from the field. Coach Earl's squad
never has lost a game to Jefferson.
After the defeat by Lincoln last week
Coach Earl switched several of his
players. Edrls. the elongated center,
is out of the game with a bad ankle.
He will be used only in case of an
emergency. Murphy, who was injured
in the Lincoln game, is not in good con
dition and his place will be filled by
Anderson.
Jefferson also has an altered lineup
since Its last game and Wolfer, Coach
Rinehart's left end, who was held out
of the last game on account of being
conditioned at school. Is due to start
today. The Northeast Siders have been
receiving trick plays from Coach Rine
hart and hope to overcome their oppo
nents' weight handicap. .
Although this game is not a cham
pionship affair, much enthusiasm is ap
parent because of the rivalry between
the two Institutions. Both schools will
have large delegations at the game and
the Washington High School band will
make itself heard.
Roscoe Fawcett will referee and W.
