THEY'RE telling a good story back East on Larry McLean, the big catcher who starred for the Giants in the World's Series last Fall, but the Easterners have their wires twisted a little. Here's the straight of It: , s " Larry was a member of the Portland Pacific Coast champions in 1906, when the white hope craze first struck the country. Lair Gregory, then sporting edi tor of The Tele gram, but now one of the stars on The Oregonlan, saw a chance to fill some Larry McLean, space one rainy day when news was scarce, so he had McLean snapped in several boxing poses and ran a sensa tlonal story to the effect that big Larry was goint? to Invade the boxing field. The Idea looked good to a Seattle writer, and he followed suit, similarly exploiting Rube Vickers, the former Athletic pitcher. Mr. Gregory, who had heralded McLean aa a scrapper, showed big Larry a copy of the Seattle newspaper, which gave the public the Idea that Vickers was a coming cham pion. "Stealing your stuff, Larry. What do you think of that?" remarked Lair. "That's pretty near the limit. Isn't it?" replied McLean. "They ought to be ashamed of themselves." "I'll tell you what we'll do." said Gregory. "Seattle plays here next Fri day. Before the game you call Vickers into the clubhouse, get out your set of gloves, put on one pair and throw the others at his. feet, and dare him to put them on." "Good idea," declared McLean, pleased at the Idea of the publicity that stunt would bring him. "But " and Larry hesitated suddenly while a look of con sternation shot across his map--"sup-pose the blamed cuss picks them up?" a Larry Schlafley, former Portland In flelder.

While H. L. Herbert, August Bel mont and a few others have done a lot for polo in America, the present day popularity Is due almost entirely to Mr. Whitney. When Foxhall Keene's team was licked In 1902 he took polo In hand, threw his Immense wealth into the game, retained the brothers Waterbury and Devereaux Mllburn, with the result that his Big Four trounced Burlingham In 1909 and brought the Westchester cup across the Atlantic. The team has since defended successfully. Louis Stoddard likely will be the new captain. His chief quality Is a long purse. ' GRANTON A WHITE STRIPED MADRAS Arrow COLLARS 2 for 25 cents Qnert.
