Portland cares little now whether the Federal outlaws grab "Rip" Hager man, right-hand pitcher, for the bis flinger of the 1913 Pacific Coast cham pions was sold yesterday to the Cleve land team of the American League. Manager McCredle did not divulge the purchase price, but It was In ex cess of $2500, for Portland forked over that many seeds to Lincoln one year ago for Hagerraan. Other than-that he has offered Hag erman and Lober to the Naps, Walter McCredie, Portland chieftain, feigned ignorance of the deal, which was an nounced at the other end by Joe Bir mingham, Nap manager. "It doesn't surprise me," remarked Mac when shown a dispatch from the Kast. "I have been expecting Cleve land to take both Hagerman and Lober. They can have them." "What men do you expect to get , from Cleveland?" was asked. "I 6on't know yet," replied Manager ' McCredie. "But If the Naps buy Hag ; erman I am to get a pitcher In ex- change, and possibly one oher player." "Will it be Kahler?" : "I hardly think so. I would like to secure Kahler, but I'm afraid waivers , coujd not be secured from the other clubs." "Will it be Southpaw Wilson, the ' youngster you drafted a year ago and lost to Cleveland?" Wilson Not Coming West. "No, the Naps sent Wilson to New ." Orleans and he proved the big star there.

There he remained, until the Fall of 1913, when McCredle dug him up and ponied over 2500 "Iron men" for his release. Ho is a speed-ball twirler, befug credited with 164 strikeouts, but is likewise wild, the walk column showing 108, In addition- to 12 dead balls and six wild heaves. Although 25 years old, he will make pood, is the consensus of Portland fans. In his announcement of plans at Cleveland yesterday, , Manager Bir mingham, of the Naps, declared him- self as fairly well satisfied. "With Graney. Lelbold and Jackson, my outfield la O. K.," said he. "I am willing to -stand pat on the infield, with Ivan Olson as utility. We need r.ot worry about catchers, with O'Neill and Carish as regulars, and the young sters, Bus.slcr and Billings, eomlng up. As for pitchers, we have enough south paws, but are shy on a right-hander, and I believe Hagerman will Just about . fill the bill. The only other candi date of promise for the Job Is Bowman, of the Central League." Hagerman will report to the Naps February 28 at Cleveland. When ' "Rip" hears or his transfer it's almost a cinch he will break off negotiations . with the Chicago Federals.

The score was 42 to 1 at the end of the first period and in the last half the winners regis tered 43 points to the Academy's 4.

SCHOOL BLACKWELL kails to return to CORVALLIS. Star Man at Agricultural College DIs ' ' appoints I"ans When He Quits Instltntloa. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Or., Jan. 9. (Special.) Foot ball fans at the Oregon Agricultural College were disappointed w'hen it was learned this week that Ira Blackwell, the halfback whose punting and place kicking was largely responsible for the success of the Aggie Varsity last Fall, did not return to college after the holi days and will not be a member of the 1914 Beaver squads Blackwell has played two years on the local team, and would have been eligible for two more had he finished his work this semester. College regulations would make him Ineligible even though he should return next Fall. The loss of Blackwell, together with that of May, Chrisman and Smart.- the three seniors on the 1913 squad, leaves a big hole to be filled next Full. Chris man. May and Blackwell are regarded by Oregon Agricultural College fans as the three most valuable men on last season's team, and Smart was a utility man of ability. Dr. Stewart will next year have to find a tackle and two backfleld men, one of whom must be a punter and a place kicker. Blackwell outpunted his opponent In every game last Fall, and his place kicks In the Idaho and Oregon games were the big feature of the contests. There is no other member of the 1913 squad who kicks w-ell and the development of a successor to Blackwell in the kicking department may cause Coach Stewart considerable difficulty. The remaining members of the 1913 team will in all probability return next year, and should give the coach a good nucleus about which to develop a team. These men are Huntley, Billie, Hofer, Laythe, Moore, Anderson, Abra ham, Robertson and Shaw. Whether Shaw will be a candidate next year Is a matter of conjecture. Lutz, Ineligible this year, will be out after a half back berth next year and shouldd fill the vacancy left by Blackwell or May. He is a kicker of some ability and may be developed into a successor to Blackwell in this department SPORT-NEWS FOOTBALL critics who have said that the open, or Western, style of football would be useless against a standard Eastern team are called fairly and properly in a current maga zine by Fielding H. Yost, the great roam or tne uni versity of Michigan teams which have been walloping Penn and other Eastern elevens. "Y ale has not scored a touchdown on Harvard in six years," says Yost. 'Harvard has failed to score a touch down on Yale in five of her last six games.. The only touchdown that : Princeton has scored on Yale in the last ' F. H. Yost, four years came from a fumble." But Y'ost denies that these fisures show the touchdown to be obsolete. He points to the Notre Dame-Army and the Army-Navy games to prove his conten tion. "Afmy experts have told me often," Y'ost says, "that the forward pass would be a joke if attempted against West Point. But Notre Bame came along from the West and shot so many for ward passes against the Army's stan dard defense that the scorer became dizzy marking up touchdowns." lost thinks, the Kast got its second awakening when the Army licked the apparently stronger Navy team, using the same pass attack that haa smothered it in the Notre Dame affray, with three Western boys Prlchard, Markoe and Merrilat, of Morningside College, la., to demonstrate. Yost says: "Here we have a play (the forward pass) that scored in two games more touchdowns than Yale, Harvard and Princeton have scored, against each other In five or six years. And no man can tell me that Yale, Harvard and Princeton are much stronger defensive ly than the Army or Navy, because they are not." Yost says that the three big Eastern colleges will start scoring as soon as they wake up to the open game, mix ing passes with the running attack. "But don't use the high, lobbing pass," is the Wolverine mentor's warn ing. "After experimenting with the pass it soon became evident to me that the forward pass, as used by so many. leading teams, was or no use wnen thrown high like a punt. I soon saw that to be effective It had to be handled like a baseball, thrown sharply on a line to a runner moving at good speed. $ ' 1 CHICAGO OUTLAWS SIGfJ 4 BIG MAJORS Pitchers Packard, "King" Cole and Brennan and Catcher Killifer Secured.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9. The Federal League hurled its second bomb in the ranks of -organized baseball tonight. Four players who long have been prom inent in major league play were signed for the Chicago club of - the Federal League. They are Gene Packard, a pitcher of, the Cincinnati National League club;' Al Brennan, pitcher, and Willfam Killifer, catcher, of the Phila delphia Nat!onals, and Leonard (King) Cole, pitcher for the New Tork Ameri cans. They signed for three years, it was announced. ... The amount of salaries the men will receive was not made public, but ac cording to Charles Weeghman, presi dent of the local club, who made the announcements, surety bonds have been deposited guaranteeing the players their full pay regardless of the fate of the league. All four also received ad vance payments on the contracts. Managers to Be Known Soon. Weeghman also said other contracts had been sighed, but after a confer ence with James A. Gilmore, president of the new - uecided to withhold the announcements for a few days. He said, however, that within & week the name of the manager of each of the eight clubs would be made ti,"i '. Today's deal guarantees a promising pitching staff to the local club. Joe Tinker is said to have declared that Packard, who was with him last year in . Cincinnati, is "the most promising young left-handed pitcher in organized baseball. '- The Philadelphia club was'the hard est hit by the announcement. Otto Knabe, who deserted the Philadelphia club to sign as manager for the Balti more club, was here today when the signing of ' his- ex-teammates became public. He rejoiced when he heard they had entered the new league, and said he knew of several stars who had been offered Federal places, but were wait ing to see what other players left or ganized baseball. Vic Saler Sought. He expressed the belief that the sign ing of the four players would result in swinging several others who have been waiting for several days. Keports were persistent that Vic Saier, first baseman of the Chicago Na tionals, had signed a contract with the St. Louis Federals. The rumors were not confirmed, and Knabe intimated to night that he would visit Saler's home In Lansing, Mich., and try to sign him for the Baltimore club. KNABE EYES NINE BIG ONES Baltimore Club to Get Prominent Majors, Is Announcement. CHICAGO, Jan. 9. Nine "big league" ballplayers will be In the lineup of the Baltimore team when the Federal League begins Its campaign next Spring, according to Otto Knabe. manager of the Baltimore club, who ar rived here today to discuss league mat ters with President Gilmore. Knabe POT POURRI who had to handle it as .a second base man might handle a throw from Schang ur Arcner. "A forward pass that is thrown high in the air is absolutely worthless. When you feel that you could run down from the stand and block one, it is fairly cer tain that a man already on the field coma oiock one easier. mm James Isamlnger, of the Philadelphia North American, remarks that the Fed erals might do well by signing a few spactators. The old line companies attended to mat lor the .Feds lone aero at St. T.rmis Indianap.olis and one or two other cities Dy giving tne fans back-lot ball. It ought to be soft sailing for the outlaws in tnose burgs. According to a majority of San Pmn Cisco right writers. Gunboat Smith is an awful hunk of chefese. They all agree that Sharkey. Ruhlin, Fitzsim mons, Corbett and Jeffries could have whaled the liver out of him. Old sufT. Old stuff. We heard that same chatter when Jeff got back into the game to meet Johnson, when, as a matter of fact, Arthur could have pummelled Jeffries even when the latter was in his prime. When Jeff first invaded New York in 1898 and failed to, stow Bob Arm strong away in 10 rounds he was laughed out of town and yet he had been boxing for over four years. When Sharkey fought Jeffries the first time he landed about 9 per cent of his leads. Neither fighter then suggested the poetry of motion, in fact, their work was termed 'ludicrous. Jack Johnson, too, for several years iter his debut, was hailed as a joke. Now he Is the greatest ever. It was always thus. Hand it to Gunboat for one. thing, anyway. He wins, and he wins with a punch. That is more than either Jeff or Sharkey did against each other in that ancient past. Yet the writers are spoofing at Smith and worshiping at the shrine of these two big elephantine war-horses. We repeat old stuff. Figuring In 300 profit from the Mult nomah Club game, the University of Idaho netted 200 on the 1913 football campaign. When Gus Larsen took hold as manager three years ago Idaho was In debt J3000. Since then tue popular big manager has paid off $1000 per year and the student body is now in the clear. It is quite a testimonial to the busi ness acumen of Manager Larsen, who has a host of friends all over the Northwest. said the main object of his trip is a hunt for players and declared that the backers of the Baltimore club will spend any amount of money to get ma terial. Among the men he said he had signed "was "one of the best third basemen in the game, who hit better than .300 last year." This man, it was hinted, is John Lobert, of the Philadelphia Na tionals, who is now in Australia with the world-touring baseball teams. Knabe admitted that he was after "Victor Saier, the Cubs' first baseman. Outlaws Seek Humphries. CHARLEROI, Pa, Jan. 9.

They approached me in Cin cinnati and I naturally listened to what they had to say. Several of their clubs were after me, but the talk was rather general until I received the letter from Mr. Barbour, whom I will meet in Brooklyn next Sunday or Monday to discuss netaiVs.
