Is BAKER SHIES AT CONTRACT Portland Boy Wants Detroit to Amend His Playing Agreement. Tin u m's Offer of Bush Not ' -.Accepted by : Jones. Walter challer, outfielder. Is the hope of the San Francisco Seals tor 1914. Del Howard says he expects Kchaller to fill Jimmy Johnston's shoes. "He will hit as well as Johnston and, while he will not rank up with him as a. base-stealing asset, his Balding w,lU more than offset that." predicts Man ager Howard to a San Francisco news paperman. Del contends that Schaller did not show up his proper Rait after Joining the Seals last season. He says the fans here haven't seen the real Schaller In action. "He had just started last Fall when he broke his wrist in Oakland one day and it was a physical impossibility for him to recover after that," adds How ard. Possibly Del is correct in his asser tion that Schaller is Johnston's equal in all but. base stealing and by the same method of reasoning Harry Heilmann is going to give Tyrus Cobb a stiff chase at Detroit this season, for in all but base stealing and hitting he is al most up to the Georgian's caliber. . . . Delmar Baker, the Portland boy who goes to Detroit next year, is in receipt of a contract from President Navln, but is not entirely satisfied and has writ ten for some alterations. Del is a back stop and was drafted from the Lincoln club of the Western League. He broke in under Joe Cohn three or four years ago at Spokane, but was sent over to the Union Association for season ing with his brother, Southpaw Baker., The brother became disgusted with Montana conditions and Quit, but Del mar plugged along and was drafted last year by the Western League. The classy receiver has & nice boost for Outfielder Middleton. drafted by the Oaks, with a batting record of .370 for 1313 at Wichita. Middleton has played seven years, six of them at Wichita He collapsed ones at Denver and the "weak heart" talk that became noised about has kept the big league scouts off him. Deimaa says Bill Rapps legs ap--pear to have gone back on him. An other contract has been tendered Rapps by Topeka, but with the proviso that he do backstop duty during 1914. The old Portland first-sacker broke In as a catcher. President Baum, of the Coast League, has recommended Garnett Bush to Fielder Jones for an umpirical berth In the Northwestern circuit. He failed to append the full Pinkerton report on Bush's conduct, filed with him by Cal Ewlng, however, and, pending com plete data on Bush's social status, Mr. Jones likely will not tender a contract to the arbiter. Bill. Phyle, Pacific Coast League um pire, is one attache of organized base ball who thinks that the Federal League has a good chance to thrive. "Despite the many obstacles which the outlaws will have to overcome, I think they have the better of the breaks and eventually will force or ganized baseball to sue for peace," he was quoted as remarking In San Fran cisco "Take Toronto, for instance. Toronto is, without a doubt, a great baseball city, but owing to the tactics of the management and several other things, among which are to be found an injudiciously situated park and wretched transportation facilities, the Bport is on a none too secure founda tion, and to my way of thinking the time is Just ripe for the entrance of the Federals, who have already sig nified their intention of including the town on their circuit. "With the right kind of a park and a good location they'll have little dif ficulty. Indeed, in superseding organ ized baseball in the popular favor, and what's true in Toronto wilU I think, hold good in many other towns.

'TVILLART IS FREED BY JURY Bout In Which Man Lost Life Is Held to Have Been Boxing Match. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 13. Jess WUlard, the heavyweight pugilist on trial charged with prizefighting, was acquitted by a Jury today after it had - deliberated all night. The charge was ?.the result of the death of John .Young, -a after a bout at the Vernon arena with r-Willard on August 22. '" By its verdict the jury sanctioned boxing contests such as have been con ducted in this state since the prize fighting statute was amended in 1909. Joseph Ford, Deputy District Attor ney, who prosecuted WUlard, asked for a verdict which would prevent all ring contests where the intention to de liver a knockout blow was obvious. When the jury's verdict was read the prosecutor s only comment was: "You cannot legislate ahead of pub lie opinion." Stories About Stars BY BILLY EVANS. LARRY CHAPPELL, the much adver tised Outfielder of the White Sox made his American League debut against the Athletics. There was much interest in his initial appearance, be .xause of the many tales about his : swatting ability, as well as the fact that he wag about a week overdue in reporting for his Chicago premier. Ira Thomas, ot the Athletics, had the time of his life that afternoon kidding a numoer or tne unicago photographers, whom he knew quite well. Chappell . was unfortunate enough to face Chief Bender on his first trip to the plate as an American Leaguer. Few -pitchers know more about working a batter than the foxy Indian. He knew full well that a big majority of the crowd, were present to watch Chappell in action. He also knew that they would be delighted to see him take all , kinds of liberty with the Chiefs offer ing. This of course made Bender Just as anxious to dispose of Chappell, as Chappell was to hit safely. Chappell of course was a bit nervous, as any fellow would be under the circum ; stances, while the experienced veteran Bender was as cool as a cake of ice in . Winter time. A group of photographers were clua- tered around first base as Chappell stepped to the plate. They were anx ious to get some good action pictures of the new recruit. If it was a close play at first they wanted to get it. However, they preferred to get a pic ture of Chappell rounding first on a triple. "Why are you boys waiting around first base?"" yelled Thomas from the Athletic bench. . "We are all anxious to get the first good photo of Chappell reaching first," answered one of. the boys who. knew Thomas. "You're standing in . the- wrong place," said Thomas with a smile; "you should b clustered around the home plate." "It is an easy matter to shift up there, in case he makes a home- run,'.' replied th.e photographer. "Don't worry on that score," said Ira. "I just thought you would like to get a picture of the third strike." On the very . next ball Chappell made Thomas a good prophet by taking a healthy swing, for the. third strike., -. HIGH SCHOOIi PLAYERS ARE FIT Lincoln and Washington Basketball Teams Clash Tomorrow. With the final heavy work yesterday and light practice slated for today the Washington High and Lincoln High basketball teams are in good condition and. . tomorrow's match scheduled for the Toung Men's Asso ciation gymnasium promises to be a 9- warm one. The game Is not only the opening contest of the 1914 basketball schedule of the Portland Interscholas- tic League, but it is the annual Lincoln-Washington game. The game will start at 3 o'clock sharp. Coach Borleske had his aspirants out to the Multnomah Club for practice match with some of the former Lin coln students and the showing made gives hopes that the team will put up a good game. Captain Clerln will likely start at center, as he is the only player back from last season s squad., Others who may play with Lincoln are Caesar, Waldron. Llllard and Schild- neckt Coach Fenstermacher, of Washing ton, has not announced who will start the game for the East Side team. Cap tain Knouff is the only 1913 letter man back at school, and he will play his old position at guard. POOL EXPERT TO PLAY ' HERE Bennie Allen, of Kansas City, Will Meet Local Men.

In plain English red heads, are doing their share to' make baseball an interesting and in structive sport. On the Pacific Coast the most famous of all red tops is "Brick" Devereaux, whose scarlet dome has brought untold Joy to untold thousands of fans. Brick will manage club in the W e s tern Canada League in 1914, but in the Coast circuit we still have left such a u b urn - topped statesmen as Red Downs, of the Seals; "Red" K r e i t z, of Oak land; Tommy Ten- nant. of Sacra mento, and "Lord" Kenworthy, not to mention that shrieking torch of a n imp. "Red" Held. Portland has no brick thatches, but Manager McCredie becomes red-headed so often during the annual campaigns that he can almost be classed as one. In the big leagues two of the man agers are red heads Hughey Jennings of the Detroit Tigers and Red Dooin of the Philadelphia Nationals. Baseball's most expensive bit of bric- a-brac is a red head. Marty O'Toole, the auburn-topped hurler of the Pitts burg Pirates, cost Barney Breyfuss & Co. $22,500. Pittsburg acquired another flaming locked player in the person of Mike Mowrey, who went there with Ed Konetchy and Bob Harmon, . in ex change for several Pirates. When Catcher Ivy Wlngo of the Car dinals removes his chapeau the sun goes into retirement. There's room for only one sun, and Wingo's lighthouse Is bright enough to light up the entire world. The Browns have red heads in Shortstop Roche and the two Walkers, Clarence and Ernest. Both of them play in the outfield. Cincinnati has only one red top. Pitcher Leon Ames. The Cubs have Red Corriden and Red Fred Williams, while the White Sox have Red Kuhn Detroit has Catcher Red McKee, whose hair is of a much more fiery hue than that of Hughey Jennings. Washington had several red heads, but now has only the remnant of one. Pitcher Bob Groom has only a fringe of hair left, but what there is of it Is of a reddish hue. New York has Outfielder Red Murray and Brooklyn Infielder Red Smith. Los Angeles is a sensible community after all, for a jury there has absolved Jess Willard on a prize-fighting charge.

RITCHIE POSTPONES MIX WITH MURPHY Sprained Tendon Champion's Plea in Asking for Second . Delay of Contest. NEW ARTICLES ARE SIGNED Lig-htweights to Meet January 3 0 or SI or Forfeit $5000 Stay of Boot Does No Good for Pres tige of Title Holder. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13. (Spe cial.) Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world, today requested THE. VENICE JUNK MAN. postponement of his fight with Harlem Tommy Murphy from January 23 to January 30. . This action is due to the fact that he sprained last week the tendon of Achilles and from neglect this sprain has grown serious. The postponement was granted by Coffroth and Manager Buckley. The same conditions go as regards the weight, 135 pounds one hour before the fight, and giving Promoter Coffroth the right to hold the match on the following Saturday afternoon, January 31, in the event of rain the night pre vious. New articles were signed to night with the proviso that each con testant must post at once a forfeit of $5000, which, in event of failure to comply with any of the articles shall be divided evenly between the other contestant and the promoter. Ritchie has been confined to his home since Saturday of last week and the rainy weather has aggravated the complaint. This second postponement is most unfortunate for the prestige of the champion, bnt those who know Ritchie say he feels as keenly as his man ager his hard luck In suffering such an Injury at this time. FIGHTER'S EX-WIFE IS HEIRESS Gunboat Smith Learns of Divorced Spouse Inheriting $20,000. SAN FRANCIS CO, Jan. 13. Gunboat Smith, white champion heavyweight fighter,, heard that his divorced wife had inherited 20,000, and he called on POT POURRI ball In 1914, but It now develops that the crimson men do not want to play a return game at Ann Arbor in 1915. In other words, Harvard is anxious to wit ness a test of the respective merits ol' the Eastern and Western styles of foot ball, but it's a frightful long ways from Boston to Michigan. The crimson's main objection to go ing west is that such a trip entails a week's absence from university dutlea Of course, the real purpose of Michi gan Is not educational. After a careful inquiry lasting sev eral months, we are able to announce that 43,892 persons discovered Walter Johnson. George Chip,, the new middleweight title claimant, is a Tetewanian-Ameri can, according to Tom Andrews' rec ord book. Chip will be the first Tete wanian champion if he applies his dream hooks to a few more contenders. Chip's real name Is George Chlpulo- nlus and he was born at Scranton, Pa., August 25, 1888, so is 25 years old. Al though you wouldn't guess it on top of the Tetewanian. pedigree, his color is given as white. The Lithuanian became a mine hand around his native town when old enough to breathe fire damp, but branched out as a boxer about five or six years ago. After a year or two of unpretentious milling they began to set such morsels as Buck Crouse, Jack Dil lon and others before him. Buck Crouse knocked him to sleep in three rounds as early as 1910 and he lost to Jack Dillon in 15 rounds in Jan uary of 1911, but since then he has lost but one other battle, that to Jeff Smith in 15 rounds at Thornton.

' - Connie Mack Is director in a Phil a delphia trust company, in addition to piloting the world s champion ball club. Poor Connie! There are moments when one is tempted to pity him. Hans Wagner will try to land a .400 batting average this season, says Pittsburg newspaper. So will Rip Hag. erman. Howard Drew, the sensational negro sprinter, is deserving of a lot of praise. While it's excruciatingly hard to imag ine a porter working hard, that is what Drew must have been doing during the last couple of years. Nor that alone the negro athlete must have skimped himself fearfully, for the erstwhile porter now bobs up as a student at the University of South ern California. There must be good money in this portering business. We Intend to look into It. Superior Judge Graham recently to find out if the report was true. "It's true," said the Judge. "She In herited the money three weeks after she obtained her divorce. It's too bad you let her get away from you." "Oh, that's all right," said the gun ner. "I'm glad to hear she's doing well. I wish she had Inherited a million. By the way, can you give me a pointer on how to lick Jack Johnson?" The Judge considered. "Get him into a clinch," he finally advised., "and then land a right uppercut on the Jaw." "Thanks; I'll try that." grinned the gunner, and went his way. BOXING BRIEFS What can be the trouble? Since Mc Allister licked Levlnsky we have not received a single letter from Dan Mor gan, the manager of the Battling Le vlnsky. As long as Levinsky was win ning the sporting department was In receipt of one a day. Each ended with "There's a nice little piece of news for you."" We take part of that back. " We did get one but the date is In dispute. It must have been before the battle. In it he advised that the sporting writers should not be too hard on the white hopes. The public should remember that the present batch of boys are all youngsters. Battling Levinsky. for in stance, is only 23 years of age. . Just the day before McAllister met Gibbons, a San Francisco writer un- Los Angeles Times. burdened a long eulogy to the effect that "McAllister has again demon strated that some people are not al ways appreciated best in their home town.". He will probably print' that again today. This from the San ' Francisco Bul letin: "Bud Anderson needs a manager more, than anything else. A manager who persists in sending his -man into the ring, either too fat or too light, ought to go backto the lumber mill and ask for the dollar-and-slx-blt a day Job which he deserted to answer a mis taken calling." ROWING PRACTICE IS ON PORTLAND CLUB AT WORK EARLY PREPARING FOR SUMMER MEET. Store Laurels During" 1014 Is Flan of Local Oarsmen 3S Tarn Ont for First Day's Sprint. With a view to carrying away more aquatic laurels this year than were won during 1913 the Portland Rowing Club has opened Spring training on the Wil lamette. For two days In the first two weeks of July the Portland Rowing Club will have charge of the annual meet of the Pacific Northwest Association of Ama teur Oarsmen. Portland - did not fare as well as It might during 1913. To be sure, it won more events than any other club, but that record was not satisfactory, and accordingly Captain Pfaender sent out the call for Spring practice. The call was answered last Sunday by 25 young rowing enthusiasts. The practice was not an arduous one, being designed merely as a kind of ointment to take the stiffness out of the Joints. The shells were filled and despite the heavy current they were raced as far as the Oaks and back. Although no speed was attempted and the fastest stroke was 32 a minute, the rowers showed good team work. The exact date of the annual session of oarsmen will be known at the next meeting of the board of directors, to be held before the end of the month. The regatta was first scheduled for August, but this was considered too late in the season. COOS LEAGUE TS CONSIDERED Fans Hoping to See More Interest Created Among: Cities. MARSHFIELD, Or., Jan. 13.
