HAILED TO TINKER
Head of Brooklyn Nationals
Says League Will Not -Show
Its Hand.
INVASION TO BE FOUGHT
President Gilmore, of Federal Or
ganization, Says Outlaws tHa-ve
Xo Trouble Signing Players
for Coming Season.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Notwithstand
ing Joe Tinker's Intention not to play
In organized baseball this year, as evi
denced by his signing a contract to
manage the Chicago Federal League
team, Charles H. Ebbetts. president of
the Brooklyn National League club, an
nounced today that he would mail a
Brooklyn club contract to Tinker this
week.
"In my opinion." said Ebbets, "as far
as our taking legal steps to keep Tinker
from playing with. the Federals is con
cerned, we would have to wait until
he actually begins to play with the
Federals before applying for an injunc
tion. Until he does that we will not
know positively that he is not going; to
come into the Brooklyn fold.
"The National League is going to pro
tect Itself against the invasion of the
Federals, but what steps are to be
taken I am not prepared to disclose.
The most foolish thing the National
League could do now would be to show
Its hand."
BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan. 12. James A.
Gilmore, president of the Federal
League, who is visiting the cities com
prising the Eastern district of the
league circuit was the guest of the Buf
falo supporters of the league today. A
dinner was given in his honor, attend
ed by men of high financial standing.
"We shall have no trouble in getting
all the players we want." said Presi
dent Gilmore, when questioned as to
the report that the league was turning
to Cuba in its hunt for men.
Mr. Gilmore left tonight for Pitts
burg. OUTLAWS ARE CALLED TTXFAIR
Barrow Says International League
Will Fight Invasion.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Edward Bar
row, president of the International
League, in a statement today concern
ing the proposed invasion of the Fed
eral League . of three International
League cities Toronto, Baltimore and
Buffalo asserted that the new league
leaders were not fighting fair and
predicted that "their tactica will only
bring them to grief."
"In the first place," Mr. Barrow
said, "they are trying to masquerade
as a major league, when they never
can become one. They have about
four major league players to a" team,
but that will not make them a major
league. They have a minor league
circuit. Toronto, Baltimore and Buf
falo turn out good crowds, but they
do not turn out major league crowds.
"The players who jumped to the
Federals were disloyal to their em
ployersw Men like Tinker, Brown and
Knabe were in organized baseball long
enough to know that loyalty to the
reserve cluase is one of the founda
tions of organized baseball and as
much a part of their contract as their
salaries.
"The International League will fight
these fellows to a finish in any of our
cities where they intend to place
teams."
Saier and Humphries Sign.
CHICAGO, Jan 12. Vic Saier, the
first baseman whose acquisition by the
Federal League has been rumored, set
doubts at rest today, when his contract

three-year contract." signed by Pitcher
Burt Humphries, also was received by
Murphy.
Groh Returns to Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 12. Second base

club, concluded to refuse them all.
Gilmore Leaves for East.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12. James A. Gil
more, president of the Federal League,
left last night to make a swing of the
cities comprising the eastern end of the
league's circuit. It was . reported he

FIVE LINEUP UNCERTAIN
WASHINGTON HIGH HAS MANY TO
SEND AGAINST LINCOLN.
Both Teams In Good Condition and Bis
Rallies Will Be Held In Behalf
, of Thursday's Game.
With both squads in the best of con.
dition physically the opening game -of
the Portland Interscholastic Basketball
League will be played Thursday after,
noon on the Young Men's Christian As
sociation floor, when the Lincoln High
and the Washington High meet Be
cause the game lis the first of the local
season neither coach has been able to
get a line on the other and Thurs
day's contest promises to be a warm
one. The affair will start at 3 o'clock.
Coach Fenstermacher is in a quandary
as to who shall start the game against
the old rivals, and Captain Knouff is
the only member of last year's cham
pionship team again in the Held. Sev
eral promising players have been tried
out, but as no practice games have
been played little is known of their
ability.
However, the East Side coach will pick
his team from Captain Knouff, Gorman,
Parsons (a brother of the famous
Johnny Parsons, of Oregon University),
and Heitschmidt for the guard posi
tions; Frank Johnson, Breckon and
Wilson, for center, and Noren, Peterson,
Myers. Pourpellotte and Martin to shoot
baskets from the forward ranks.
Coach Borleske, ot Lincoln, Is also
uncertain as he has but one member
of last season's back team to represent
the West Side. The Lincoln aggrega
tion has had several practice games,
and tonight the last practice game be
fore the big affair Thursday will be
played against the Lincoln High Alumni
squad at Multnomah Club.
Little choice is given to several as
pirants for the West Siders team, and
the only player sure of his place ' Is
Captain Clerin. who is one of the best
forwards in the city. Coach Borleske
has switched Clerin to center, but
whether he will start at that position
remains to be seen. Caesar, in the few
games he has played, has shown that
he is to be considered as a forward
with Waldron, while Lillard and Schild
neckt will fill in at the guard sections,
and Drumheller, Greer and Mulkey will
likely be used as substitutes.
Monster rallies will be held in each
school tomorrow morning, and present
indications point to a record-breaker
crowd. Manager Miller, of Washington,
and Manager Hutchings, of Lincoln,
have more than 600 tickets issued for
each school. A, M. Grlllev. who ref-
ereed the Portland Interscholastic bas
ketball games last year, has been re
tained for the present season.
REVOLVER CLUB SCORES HIGH
Portland Wins IVom Baltimore by
Score of 1113 to 1088.
The official schedule of the United
States Revolver Association was re
ceived yesterday with but 11 matches
scheduled. In match eight the Port
land Revolver Club shooters appeared
against the Baltimore team and from
all indications the local team won the
match with ease, having registered
1113, while the best the Baltimore
cracks could do in the first seven af
fairs was 1088.
Last night the Portland team shot

CASTOFFS TO JUMP
TO OUTLAW LEAGUE
Buddy Ryan Thinks Federals
Will Grab Those Who Fail
to Stay With Majors.
CHADB0URNE MAY MOVE
Portland Player Reporter Dissatis
fied With Contract Howard Is
Preparing to Play at First for
San Francisco in 1014.
Pacific Coast League managers are
going to find it harder than ever to
obtain talent from the major leagues
from now on, in the opinion of Buddy
Ryan, Cleveland outfielder, who will
play either at Toledo or with the Port
land champs in 1914.
The famous "home run" exponent
says the invasion by the new Federal
League will mean that 75 per cent of
the major league castoffs will jump to
outlaw ball, as represented by this
third big league, rather than go back
down the scale to the AA leagues or
the A leagues.
"The major leagues drafted and pur
chased about 150 players last Fall from
the minors," was Buddy's comment yes
terday at ball headquarters. "March
30 about 100 of these will be sent back
to the brush circuits, and if I'm not
mistaken the outlaw leagues are going
to grab about 60 per cent of the gar
bage. '
"Besides, the Feds will hook up prac
tically all the veterans ousted by the
youngsters who do stick above.
"Any time they tell you there isn't
material enough for a big league club
they're crazy," added the ex-Portland
idol. "Soma of those major clubs. New
York and Philadelphia, for instance,
have half a hundred stars on their sal
ary roll, despite the restrictions.
"Why, there are enough stars in the
AA leagues of major caliber to outfit
another league."
According to a San Francisco news
paper, the Boston Nationals offered to
trade Catcher Bert Whaling and Pitch
ers Keefe and Hughes for Catcher
Schmidt, of the Seals. ,
In the Coast League they cannot see
Whaling, because he was a boob when
with McCredie several years ago, but
Bert is a real backstop now, and, if he
is as good as when with the Seattle
champs in 1912, Del Howard would
make a good trade even up for Schmidt.
There is nothing fast about Whaling,
but he is steady and has a good whip.
After waiving on Bill Lindsay at
$750 Happy Hogan later suggested a
trade of Litschi for the Southerner. Mc
Credie demanded some boot, and Hap
couldn't see it until he found that Bill
had been sold to New Orleans. Then
the Venice manager got busy and met
McCredie' s terms. Too late!
Chief Cadreau seems to be a bad In
dian. Harry Wright, a Nelson, B. C,
mining man, was robbed of a ring
valued at $1000 and a $750 watch at
Spokane the other , night, and Cadreau
was arrested on suspicion of having
"rolled" the victim.
The Spokane pitcher admitted having
been in Nelson's room drinking, but de
nied hia guilt.
Del Howard appears to bo sincere
in his determination to play first base
for the San Francisco Coasters in 1914.
He has called his men to assemble at
Boyes Springs February 20, and Del
says he intends to get in as good condi
tion as any of them.
'I realize, says Del, -"that I am of
more value as a playing manager than
adorning the bench. Last year I was
not in good condition and was unfortu
nate in drawing injuries every time I
tried to break in as a regular."
Most of the Pacific Coast League
teams will steal a training march on
the Portland champions. Manager Mc
Credie announced yesterday that his
henchmen would not be asked to report
until March 3, at Santa Maria.
The Portland season opens March 31
at Sacramento.
Art Kores and Gus Fisher, two mem
bers of the Beaver club, are yearning
for action, however, and will leave

LEADERS NOT TO ROW
PORTLAND TWINS GIVE UP WASH
INGTON AQUATICS. .
Elmer and Ed Will Try for Battery
Job With University Baseball Team.
Connlbear'a Argmmenta Fall.
SEATTLE, Jan. 12. Two of the most
phenomenal athletes that the University
of Washington has ever had, Ed and
Elmer Leader, commonly known as the
"Leader Twins" (and they really are
twins) caused a gloomy atmosphere
about crew quarters yesterday when
they announced that they would not
turn out for the varsity eight this
year, but would try for a battery job
on the baseball squad. These two
young giants, hailing from Washington
High in Portland, are juniors, and have
made both the crew and football teams
for the past two years.
In the famous race at Poughkeepsie
last year, when Washington's crew won
a close third against the best in the
country, the twins rowed Nos. 2 and 3
in the purple and gold shell. They also
helped Dobie's athletes bring home the
sixth football championship this last
Fall, Elmer playing left end and Ed
winning praise for his work at tackle.
It is. noised about the campus that El
mer, or Ed they can't be told apart
even by Doble is a phenomenal twlrler
and that the other Leader Is just 'as
good a catcher. When they are tired
they reverse. If they play the brand of
baseball that their reputations call for,
Washington will have a pair of battery
men who perhaps are the most unique
athletic performers in the country.
"We are going to give up the crew
this year," said Ed Leader to Aquatic
Director Hiram Connibear.
Connibear puffed his pipe for two or
three minutes, got up and paced around
crew quarters and then asked: "Why?"
"We want to try and play baseball
on the varsity team, if we can make
it," answered Elmer.
Connie tried a little of everything,
from argument of the softer sort to real
forceful language. The twins were
firm. So it looks now as though the
varsity eight would have to sacrifice
two of its best men to baseball.

thanks to the Federal League for ab

ways does better away from home
than among those wno are inclined to

Walter Johnson Is making quite a
reputation as a chicken fancier In East
ern Kansas. The Washington pitching
star has copped a couple of blue rib
bons already. There are many chick
en fanciers in the Pacific Coast League,
too, and likewise some in the North
western. There Is quite a discussion on in golf
circles as to whether or not golf has
not become too easy. The rubber-covered
ball has done a lot, it seems,
toward reducing some of the difficul
ties. Golf courses would have to be
1000 yards longer to give a similar test
to the hitting power which ruled in the
gutta percha days.
Such a length, however, would be out
of the question, for you can imagin
what a howl would go up were the
Waverly links to be extended 1000
yards.
D. Herbert Fowley, a well-known
constructor of courses, advances argu

standardization of the balls, and, sec
ondly, the guarding of putting-greens

ute and 38 seconds' fighting in the
round.
Gibbons weighed in at 152 Vi pounds
and McAllister at 160. The Califor-
nian also had the advantage in height
and reach.
McAllister outpointed his opponent
in the first four rounds, although Gib
bons occasionally sent over a hard left
hook. Gibbons got to his man in the
fifth, landing left hooks to the jaw
and body, but McAllister's -work at
long range evened up the round.
Gibbons repeatedly hooked McAllis

and McAllister showed signs of dis
tress. -In the final round Gibbons
caught the Californian with a right
cross to the jaw staggering him. He
followed up his advantage with a
bombardment of lefts and rights and
ended the contest with a hard right
hook to the point of the jaw.

Gibbons Has Fought Far More Bat
tles Than 'Western Opponent.
.When McAllister first broke away
from the amateur pasture's and took
on Sailor Petrosky. it was the unanl
mous opinion of San Francisco fight
experts that he would never become a
champion.
McAllister fought two draws with
Petrosky, both of which were much
in favor of Petrosky as .far as the
showing , was concerned.
The knockout in the seventh round
by Gibbons in New York last night
accordingly willcause little comment
in California. Gibbons has proved the
stumbling block of too many aspirants.

FKESHMEX BEST SOPHOMORES
Score of 6 7 to 10 Piled TTp in Class
Game Reed Faculty Plays Next.
Reed College freshmen smothered
the sophomores in a game of basket
ball yesterday by the score of 67 to
10. The freshmen won on superior
teamwork. The sophomores could not
furnish enough opposition to show up
the weak points in the freshmen team.
Williams, of the winners, who was
guarded so closely In the dormitory
day student game some time ago that
he did not get a chance to show his
accuracy in shooting baskets, made 35
points for his team yesterday. Kitten
berg at center made IS points. The
guarding of Irle was excellent.
The game is interesting chiefly be
cause of the ability displayed by the
freshmen and the probability that they
will win the series unless the faculty
musters a team much superior to the
other class teams. The faculty plays
its first game tomorrow with the Ju
niors, who were the victors in the
series last year. y
The lineup yesterday was as follows:
Freshmen William and Sechrist, for
wards; Rittenberg, center; Irle and
Riddle, guards. Sophomores Zabel
and Buland, forwards; Lackey, center;
Norman and Ross, guards. Substitutes
Larrabee for Sechrist. Clark for Nor
man, Norman for Buland. Weber,
referee.

The former lightweight king has been

Some folk have wanted to know just
why George Chip has not drawn better
gates. He is still a "ham and egger,"
as far as the gate is concerned. The
reason seems to be that the middle
weight championship is as enigmatic
a thing as the heavyweight title and,
as a result, the fans are loath to spend
their good money watching the mid
dles. Frank Moran cannot see where
Smith gets all this championship noise.
Smith scored a decision over Moran
last Winter, but it was not a decisive
one. Now Moran thinks that tho man
ner in which he, too, has improved at
least would entitle him to honorable
mention.

TENNIS AMATEUR
NEWLY DEFINED
Committee to Make Report at
Annual Meeting in Gotham
February 6.
RULE MAY STRIKE- HARD
'One Who Has Jiot Accepted Money
or Traveling or Living Expenses
for Playing In Tournament"
Xow Amateur."
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. A new defi
nition of the lawn tennis amateur was
formulated today by the amateur rules
committee of the National Lawn Tennis
Association, and will be offered for
adoption at the annual meeting of the
National body here on February 6.
It provides that a player may receive
money to cover , his necessary expenses
only "when officially selected to repre
sent his association or club in a world's
championship or in a National, sectional
or state championship held under the
auspices of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association."
The new rule is understood to con
form sufficiently with the rule of the
International Federation of Europe, so
as to cause no friction as to Davis cup
matches of the future. The only oppo
sition to it is expected from invitation
and hotel-promoted tournaments which.
if the rule is favorably acted on, will
nave to aepena on local players. The
report of the committee and the rule
follow:
"In view of the fact that the United
States has been foremost in fostering
international lawn tennis on a high
amateur basis, through .the competition
for the Davis cup, your committee begs
to report that they are unanimous in
the opinion that our amateur rules
should be in accord with the spirit of
the provisions aiming to maintain high
amateur standing in the amateur rules
of the International Lawn Tennis
Federation.
"Under the rules of the International
Federation associations or clubs are
permitted to send players as their indi
vidual representatives, paying trans
portation and reasonable hotel (living)
expenses, to world's championship
events. On account of the great dis
tances between prominent points with
in the United States and also within
many of the states, your committee is
unanimous in considering it proper to
add to the events to which our associa
tion or clubs are permitted to send their
representatives to National, sectional
and state championships under the aus
pices of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association. The proposed
rule follows:
"An amateur lawn tennis player is
one who has not accepted money or
traveling or living expenses for play
ing the game in a tournament, match
or competition; but a player may accept
hospitality at a private home and when
officially selected to represent an as
sociation or club in a world's cham
pionship or in a National, sectional or
state championship held under the aus
pices of the United States National
Lown Tennis Association or In a repre
sentative team competition, a player
may receive from such association or
club his necessary traveling and rea
sonable living expenses. The interpre
tation of this rule shall not prevent a
player from taking advantage of any
reasonable special living or transporta
tion rates which are properly announced
and are open to all players entering a
tournament."
