V 14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1914. CLASS 6 UMPIRE LIST IS COMPLETE Casey, Toman and Frary Are Picked by Fielder Jones to Boss Northwesterners. ONE WANTS MORE MONEY Xick Williams May Get Pitcher Left by Missoula Del Howard Thinks Kip Hagcrman lias Fastest Wing la Major League. BY ROSCOEJ FAWCETT. Ralph Frary. the old Northwestern League favorite. Is coming back to um pire In the class B circuit, according to Fielder A. Jones, president of the Northwestern League, who announced his tentative umpire staff for 1914 last nlsht. Frary, Perle Casey and Jimmy Toman will be the pop-bottle targets. If Frary and Toman ultimately come to terms. Casey has already signed, so that dis poses of one of the three Jobs. "I am certain of getting Toman back," eaid President Jones, "and 1 do not think there Is any question but that Frary will ,comt down In his de mands. He has been umpiring In the Union Association and they have been paying hlra a big-league salary, but I do not believe they can afford that much longer." Fmit Is Former Catcher. Umpire Frary formerly backstopped for Seattle and other Northwestern league clubs before turning to the In dicator. Then he umpired for several seasons under Lucas and proved one of the greatest arbiters the Northwest has ever seen. When Lucas went over and organized the Union Association Frary followed him, but it was not long before rres ' ldent Lynch, of the National League, ferreted him out, and Ralph had a cou ple of cups of coffee In the big show in 1911. In the course of a row in Brooklyn some fan wounded him on the shin with a pop bottle and he spent several weeks In the hospital, ending the season there. Ralph then returned to Spokane and refused to report back East the next Spring. He should prove a mighty handy man to have around, with Joe McGlnnlty, Bob Brown and. Mike Lynch unmuz zled. Toman and Casey are veterans of the 1913 Northwestern League staff. Toman was scheduled for a try in the National League, but when Tom Lynch got "fired" .Toman's opportunity went "fluey." President Jones had lines ou for Garnet Bush and Ollie Anderson, but the Federafs got Bush and the Western League exercised a reserve on Ollie. Slagle Goes to Wolves. Harry Wolverton has signed Walter Blagle, or rather he has accepted Sla prle's term and that amounts to the same thing. Eddie Maier, of the Venice Coasters, has decided to insure his athletes BBaNjst pollution by the Federal League. Maier insures his men every Spring aginst Injury and sickness, but fortifying financially against contract Jumping is a new wrinkle. It shows that Eddie is not a good Judge of ballplayers. Nick Williams expects to -sign Pitcher Dawson, late of the Missoula club, of the Union Association. Missoula went defunct a week ago and Dawson became a free agent. He is a big right-hander and was tried out by Washington on a 30-day option. Bob Brown had him originally. The Portland Colts' mancrger says he has not heard from his balking pitcher, Martinoni, but If WolveTton wants him he can purchase his release at a reason "able figure. Training Camp May Shift. Manager W'illlams likewise an nounced yesterday that he was not sure of training the Colts at Santa Rosa. He has received a good offer from an other California burg and Is consider ing It strongly. Del Howard says Rip Hagerman pitches the fastest ball In organized Tanks. "Hagerman Joined the Cubs back In 1908, but became 111 and It has taken him five years to return to form. 1 look for him to make good with Cleve land." W W. McCredie? Pontland magnate. Is convalescing from a severe Illness. Walter McCredie says he has prac tically come to terms with his star moundman, HI West. Pape is holding orr until a claim against .Buffalo Is ad judicated. He Is satisfied with his Port land contract. " Berry Bays Elevator. Claude Berry, the popular backstop of the Portland Coasters, Is on the up grade. He and his brother have paid $11,000 for an elevator near Muncie. Ind. The Muncie News does not say wnetner it is a grain elevator or building lift, but at J 11,000 It probably is a garage ror some sort of grain. Claude will play ball this one last year, while his brother grades the kernels. but Claudius expects to retire In the Fall. simultaneously with his announce ment of his candidacy for Congress the other day, George S. Shepherd sent to his binders a volume of "Tennyson's Poetical Works." It came back yester day newly furbished in horsehide and with huge gilt letters Inlaid In black. But, Instead of the expected label the Portland baseball secretary found this title staring him in the "phiz," like Mona Lisa: ' "Tennyson Political Works." George took one hasty squint at his campaign platform by way of liquid refreshment and then proclaimed himself ready to sign an advertising testimonial.

GAME SEASOX MAY CHANGE Idaho Makes Move to Line Up With Neighboring States. LEWISTON, Idaho, Jan. 27. (Spe cial.) The state game department and the Lewlston Gun Club are1 co-operating with the Federal authorities to place forward one month both the open ing and closing of the season for hunt ing certain birds. Word has been re ceived from, T. S. Talmer, assistant chief o'f the biological Survey at Wash ington, approving the change in dates, as it will simplify the regulations and give better protection to birds which breed within the state. One of the objects of making the change is to have the opening date conform with that In Oregon, Washing ton and Utah. The season begins at the same time In these three states. 51' GILL KEEPS DENVER CLUB Owner Says Coffey Will Succeed Hendricks as Manager. INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 27.

Or.. Jan. 27. (Spe cial.) The Clatskanie high school basketball team defeated the Portland Academy team Saturday night TTy a score of 34 to 9. BOXING BRIEFS PBANK BARRIEU will not have an r other chance at Bud Anderson, after all,, for Bud Anderson received word from Manager Donald yesterday to pre pare to meet Red Watson at Louie Parente's, In San Francisco, February 20. Donald saw more money in San Francisco, and accordingly dropped Barrieu. The two met for the first time n December and Bud scored a knock out in the seventh round. Bud leaves Portland on February and will train at Shannon's. They will meet at 138 pounds. There are different versions concern ing the WolE-ast- Rivrn battle. H nw- ard Carr, an authority of Chicago, de clares that it was a draw, and, under any condition, could not be termed a battle for Wolgast. He declares that it will take more than a ten-round bat tle to decide the superiority of the two. One of the noticeable things of the battle was the absolute disregard of the third man In the ring. Neither paid the slightest attention to his caution lngs and reprimands, but fought with but one intent the idea of cutting each other up as much as possible. Wolgast kept coming in. with head down and arms well about the neck. Rivers had a wholesome respect for Wolgast's etyle and kept as much at a distance as possible and got In his work by lefts and rights to Wolgast's body. , The match was staged before a house In excess of $10,000. Fred Beel," the light heavyweight wrestler, was in Portland for a few hours yesterday on his way to Sas katchewan for a visit to his brother. He was to have met Mike Yokel at Salt Lake yesterday, but the match has been postponed to the latter part of Febru ary. Georges Carpentler Is the greatest of national heroes of France. His fame is as great as that of a winning pitcher In a world's series. Picture our own Porky Flynn and Jess Willard in such surroundings, battling in heliotrope decorated arena with American Beauty rosea hung from all projections and dazzling lights embellishing the cor ners of the ring. SPORT-NEWS BY KOSCOB FAWCETT. H-A, the secret Is out at last. Howard Drew, ex-railway station porter and the father of two or three kldlets. entered the University of Southern California because he realized that he stood more chance of break ing a few world's sprinting records in California e balmy, climate than back East. Drew furnishes this inform ation himself, thus ex- plaining to the scandal - mongers why the famous negrp sprinter passed up Prince ton. Yale, Harvard and other Eastern colleges and jumped cear over the Howard Drew. Rockies. Incidentally, of course. Drew is earn ing his way through college by rustling advertising matter ror a puDiicaiion in Los Angeles run by the colored men of the south. And, incidentally, again, ad vertising beats porterlng. It will be remembered that Drew won his heat In the 100-meter race at Stock-i holm so easy that the final was a fore-, gone conclusion. And then the lad sprung a tendon and could not enter the final heat at all. But he is acknowledged to be the greatest sprin ter in the country, and many believe that he will be the man to beat Dan Kelly's 9 3-5 record. We don t wish to appear quizzical or hypercritical, but we wonder what sort of a Job they secured for Ira Courtney when that great sprinter deserted Washington a year ago and entered Southern CalifornlaT Must have been better than rustling advertising, else they would never have outbid Washington with its courthouse roosts and plush-lined pasturage. Rube Marquard's press agent is sol diering on the job. He has not opened his trap concerning the Feds. In wondering one wonders lots of things, and in so wondering wonders If appendicitis is contagious and. whether there are germs of the malady around Tom McCarey's arena at Vernon, Cal. Ad Wolgast was taken down with the society emblem the day before he was to have fought Freddy Welsh, and thus Ritchie was given his chance to show; Bud Anderson bowed to Kid Vermiform before entering the ring against Leach Cross the first time, but went gamely through to defeat. And now comes Sailor Petroskey. The appendicit thlngamabob has caused a postponement of his match with Jimmy Clabby. Uncle Tom should have his arena thoroughly fumigated. Willie Ritchie is a game little lad, so we do not feel inclined to hop him for the last postponement of his Mur phy quarrel. But it cannot fail to recall to mind a hot shot flung at Umpire Russ Hall by Mike Lynch on one occasion when fhll cooney cut third base by 30 feet and scored from second on a bunt. "Safe," said Hall, as he swung around and saw Cooney slide In under the Ta- coma catcher, amid the cheers of the Spokane crowd. "Safe?" shrieked Mike Lynch, Tiger 3 PITCHERS JUMP FROM CLEVELAND Head of Naps Admits Kahler. Blanding and Falkenberg Are With Outlaws. TWO FEDERALS COMPLETE Chicago and Baltimore Clubs Are Ready to Begin Training John ston Has Not Yet Signed Contract With Evers. CHICAGO, Jan. 27. The desertion of thre Cleveland pitchers to the Federal League was admitted here today by C. W. Somers, president of the Cleve land American club. The three are Fred Falkenberg, who Is said to have signed with the Indianapolis club; Fred Blanding, who joins the Toronto club, and Fred Kahler, signed with Pitts burg. "I guess they have Jumped," said Mr. Somers, who paid a visit to President Johnson, of the American League. Federal League officials, in accord ance with their recent decision, de clined to comment on the report of the jump of the Naps' pitchers, but base ball followers considered the acquisi tion a triumph for the Federals. Federals Increase Salaries. Increases over their last year's sal aries and three-year contracts are said to have induced the three moundmen to turn "outlaw." John Evers, manager of the Chicago National club. Is on his way home from Tampa with the signed contracts of Tom Leach, George Pierce and Arthur Phelan. according to word received at the club headquarters. Phelan and Pierce have signed contracts for three years and Leach for one. Evers had a conference at Chatta nooga with Outfiielder Jimmy Johnston. He has not yet come to terms with Johnston, who was procured by draft from the Pacific Coast League, where he established a record for stolen bases. He Is a brother of "Doc" Johnston, first baseman of the Cleveland Americans. Two Outlaw Clubs Complete. The Chicago and Baltimore teams, of the Federal League, are complete and ready to begin Spring training. It was given out at the league's headquarters here today. Manager Tinker, with a squad of 20 men, will leave February 28 for Mineral Springs, Tex., where the Chicago team will have its early practice. The Bal timore team. President Gilmore an nounced, has arranged eight exhibition games with Southern college teams on Its training trip. - FEDERALS "WANT BIRDIE CREE Three-Year Contract at $30 00 a Year Tempts Outfielder. STJNBURY, Pa., Jan. 27. "Birdie" Cree, the New York American outfield er, said at his home here today that the manager of the Pittsburg Federal League baseball team has offered him $5000 a year for three years and. has promised to deposit half of that amount if he signs a three-year "con tract. Cree has not given his decisfon. MANAGER KXABE SIGNS THREE Head of Baltimore Federals Refuses j to Give Names. BALTIMORE, Jan. 27.

It's bleeding. He stepped on you. coming across." While we're not absolutely sure that Willie's heel was hurt by challengers stepping on It, white chasing him for a fight, at least it is nice to have some thing like that to fall back upon. With ceaseless coaching Willie ought to get his' tendon of achilles trained almost as well as Wolgast's thumb. Washington State College, Idaho and several other Northwestern colleges will discard baseball shirts this Spring and use only light jerseys with no un dershirts.

Speaking of the good the baBphnll v... done Cuba, a New York writer remarks that "Bullfights have been eliminated as a result." Which shows the difference betwn the game in Cuba and here. Johnny O'Leary, the boy who recently whipped Joe Bayley. has been forbidden to appear In the Tlvoll Theater, Seattle, by the Chief of Police. Willie Ritchie and Ad Wolgast got by with their acts not long ago, but O'Leary is not yet a top-notcher. He walloped a big cop there once, but that hardly constitutes a reputation. The Oregonian is in receipt of a let ter from W. R. Smyth, of Portland deprecating the publicity given mid winter diving feats performed by a clique of local water dogs. "Why. Collister Wheeler, our 500-yard state champion, has been swimming In the river week end and week out all alone since February, 1913. Yet. while doing this and in this way teaching the public the great benefit and Joy to be derived from swimming, Ue has never been so unfortunate as to have his pic ture run. Give the boys their dues, and If you can't be fair be kind." Mr. Smyth Is to be commended for his energy, but there is need for a prompter. For Mr. Smyth's benefit it can be said that The Oregonian has been boosting Wheeler consistently, "week end and week out ever since February, 1913," just as Collister, by his lonesome splashings, has been "teaching the great public the benefit and joy to be derived from swimming." With Smyth as press agent, Collister would make a wonderful cheer leader at a cheas tournament. manager of the Baltimore Federal League baseball club, on "his return to day from a Western trip, said he had signed three new players while away. He refused to give their names, but said two of them were major leaguers and the third played with a minor league team last year,, but belonged to a big league club. Southern Pines, N.

This is tne lirst surprise of the local Inter scholastic league, as Columbia had been rated as a sure thing for yesterday's contest. The result of the game puts Washington, Jefferson and Columbia in a tie for second place, with the Lincoln High team leading them all. ihe match was rough throughout and two boxing bouts were Btarted. Referee Livingston, who substituted for A. M. Grllley, called 10 fouls on the Columbia University squad and seven on Washington High. The first half ended with the collegians leading. 7 to J, and atter the beginning of the sec ond half the exciting touches occurred. The ability of Martin, who was put in the place of Noren, to shoot fouls was the big factor in the high school victory, although the Peninsula cquad naa every opportunity to tie the score. The winners were masters of the sit uation throughout the last half. During the game Columbia threw six field baskets and but one foul, while the East Side team negotiated five field baskets and seven fouls. Captain Knouff, of the winners, threw the only sensational basket of the game, and that came from the middle of the floor. All the rest of the scores were made on shots near the baskets, and both teams seemed to lack the "pep" to shoot baskets, and many attempts tailed. The last half saw the Columbia quin tet played off its feet, and no amount of roughing would make the high school team back up. The entire game was featured with sensational guard ing and passing on both sides. For the winners, Gorman, Tourtel- lotte and Captain Knouff starred- while Captain Phelan.

R0WD OF 200 SEES GAME Nine Fouls Scored on Each Side and live Are Converted Into Scores by Each Team Local Five to Make Valley Trip. Portland basketball fans had their first taste of college stylo last night at the Multnomah Club when the Ore gon Agricultural College five trimmed the club team 22 to 13. It was a rat tling good game, with the Aggies clearly outclassing their opponents In the first part of the contest, Multno mah playing a superior game in the last minutes of struggle. King, May and Dewey, for the Ag gies, and Toomey, for the Winged M, were features of the game. King, of the Aggie team, playing at guard, shot five field goals in the first half and one In the second, with Rossman, the former Minnesotan. guarding him. The first half ended with Multnomah far to the rear, the score being 15 and 7. Both teams held better in the sec ond half. King, Dewey and May seemed to be the entire Aggie team. May played his usual careful game and Dewey was wonder on aggressiveness and de fense: Both teams failed frequently on chances. At first the Aggies made their end "of the floor by repeated rushes and then the club team gained an advantage, but both failed to shoot a basket. There were nine fouls on each side and Multnomah scored on live. Masters failing three and making three. The Aggies showed the same ratio, Dewey throwing five of the nine.

The team work of Lincoln, one of the strongest of the Interscholastic League, was too much for the clubmen. AGGIE CEXTER IS WEAK POINT Dr. Stewart Will Try to Build Vp Middle of His Team. Dr. E. J. Stewart is attempting to find the proper place for members of the Oregon Agricultural College bas ketball team and to secure more strength in the forwards and center. Three defeats of the Aggies by the University of Washington Friday, Sat urday and Monday nights opened the eyes of JJr. Btewart to tne aerects in his team, and he believes that if he can develop a center to offset some of the work of Savage, the Washington star in the middle, he will have a team that will be able to cope with the Seat tle five when Washington goes to Cor vallis for the series, beginning Feb ruary 14. Dr. Stewart believes it was clearly experience that won for Washington. He went into the first game of the Northwestern conference with a team that was- practically new. May had played as a member of the first squad and Dewey . was the only other man of conference experience. "I think the University of Washing ton has the best team of the confer ence and better than the one of last year." says Dr. Stewart. "It is more of a team than it ever was. The play ers have learned passing better than ever before and do less dribbling. "With my new squad breaking into big company and stacked against the hardest team of the circuit away irom home, it is no surprise that we went under." The Aggies have not defeated the Washington University at Seattle for several years. Mix. the six-foot center from Inde Dendence. did some good work at Seat tie, but he is young and nas a lot to learn. Bil'.le. the Astoria boy, also is a comer, and from these two Stewart hopes to build up a stronger team. PORTJjA'ND SHOOTERS WIX TWO Revolver Marksmen Score Victory Over Denver and Baltimore.

Permission was denied promoters of the local Federal League baseball club today oy Build lng Commissioner McKelvey to erect temporary wooden grandstands in Handlan's Park, the recently-acquired Federal League grounds. The contract for the stands was let a few days ago to a construction, com pany headed by E. A. Steinlnger, who also is president or tne local Federal League club.
