M. Lindbloom, of Mount Vernon, as follows: We have a man who has blown Into this country from England who thinks he is an unbeatable light heavvweieht wrestler. I think John Berg would maxe mignty short work of the 'cham pion.' I have- long been acquainted wna Berg ana am - satisfied that he could down the invader." Iso wrestling scandals have been sprung for a fortnight, so John's whereabouts are unknown. Harry Pollok makes the Welsh-Mur phy affair the occasion for a disco'urse on the. fallings of Ritchie.

BEAVERS HARD HIT BY OUTLAW DRAFT McCredie May Have Federals to Blame if Portland Does Not Capture Pennant. GLOOM OUTLOOK ADMITTED Buddy Ryan Says He Will Join In dependents if Proper Salary In ducements Are Offered by Pittsburg Managers. Br ROSCOB FAWCETT. If Portland fails to repeat its pennant-winning performance in the Coast League in 1914 Manager McCredie will have a good alibi tne Federals. To date the Beavers have suffered far more than any club in the Coast circuit. First Outfielder Chadbourne announced his jump to the independ ents, and then Mac lost his Cleveland pitching prospects with the Jumping of Kahler, Blandlng and Falkenberg to the outlaws. "Looks like a hard Summer for me," ruminated Boss McCredie over a. game of billiards yesterday. "No chance for any help from the Naps with that trio of mounders missing, and it's almost a cinch I will be unable to procure ex perienced pitchers elsewhere. "The big league clubs will all be short, with Packard, Cole, Ford, Bren nan, Hendrix, Willett and Camnitz al ready in the ranks of the Federals. "I guess I can get through on three pitchers anyway. I can rely on West, Krause and Higginbotham, and in ad dition to these I have Krapp and Pape, if the latter finally gets his trouble with Buffalo straightened out. It may give some of my youngsters a chance to develop. "It was a fortunate thing for me that I signed up Outfielders Speas and Lober last Fall, otherwise it's a cinch they would be with the independents." Buddy Ryan and Mac have come to terms over their contract, but Buddy says he does not intend to sign until he hears the best that the Pittsburg outlaws have to offer him. "If they offer me $4000 a year I'll go," Bud is reported to have told a friend. And the home-run outfielder admits he will take a chance with the outlaws if they come to his terms. Outlaws Sign Long List. Here are the managers and a list of the big leaguers who have signed to play with the independents in-1914: Chicago Joe Tinker, Brooklyn, man ager; Owens, Washington, and Killifer, Philadelphia, catchers; Cole, New York, Brennan, Phillies, and Packard, Cincinnati, pitchers; Zeider, New York, infielder; Zwilling, Boston, outfielder. Baltimore Otto Knabe, Phillies, manager; Kirkpatrick, Brooklyn, in tielder. Buffalo Larry Schlafley, manager; Ford, New York, pitcher; Hap Myers, Buffalo, International, infielder. Kansas City George Stovall, St. Louis, manager; Easterly, White Sox. catcher; Hogue, Boston, pitcher; Chad bouraie, Portland Coast, and Krueger, Los Angeles, Coast, outfielders. St. Louis Mordecai Brown, Cincin nati, manager; Miller, Chicago Cubs, outfielder; Willett, Detroit, pitcher. Pittsburgh Doc Gessler, manager; Hendrix, Pittsburg, Camnitz, Phila delphia, and Kahler, Cleveland, pitchers. Indianapolis Bill Phillips, manager; Onslow, Detroit, catcher; Falkenberg, Cleveland; pitcher; McKechnie, Pitts burg, Infielder; Scheer, Boston, out fielder. Toronto Bill Bradley, manager; Blandlng, Cleveland, pitcher. President Gilmore, of the Feds, says his league has 83 major players already signed but the list published so far shows only 25 deserters. Ex-Beavers With Federals. Three of the Federal managers are former Portland players Tinker, Schlafley and Stovall. Schlafley is the duck who made the famous unassisted triple play on the local diamond sev eral years ago. He managed a club in the International League last sea son. Looking over the Pacific Coast League lineups for 1914, Newt Colver, of Spokane, found no less than 22 ex Northwestern League players. Had the Spokane expert turned the SPORT-NEWS BY ROSCOK FAWCETT. ATTLING LEVINSKY, the New York Hebrew light heavy, is the most promising white hope in the business, according to Jim Corbett. Jim asserts that Levinsky is a boxer as well as a fighter, and that he knows more about the fine points of the game than either Willard or Gunboat Smith. Corbett scoffs at the idea that Bob McAllister ever will become a cham pion. He advises the fans to throw Mc Allister's vie tory over Levinsky into the wastebasket, for it was gained in a ten-round con test. "Levinsky would have licked him to a frazzle in a finish fight," exclaims Corbett. "That's how he always ought to fight." Jim admits that Gunboat Smith has a wallop, but that is all. He says Carl Morris made him Levinitl&y. look sick in their bout at Madison- Square Garden, and, that Smith did not show much against Pelkey even after Pelkey had flung out the white flag, and appeared to be all in. The ex-champ is certain that Levin sky has the grit, because he has shown it in bouts against much heavier men by trading punches with them. Speaking of Corbett, The Oregonian has at hand a letter from W. W. Metzger, business manager of the Port land ball club, who' is on a tour of the country. Under a Hartford, Conn., date line Mr. Metzger says in part: "Have Just had a long chat with Jim Corbett, who Is doing vaudeville here. He says he never expects to live on the Coast again, as old New York looks good to him. He says the hippodrome shows in the larger cities and the "movies" are putting the legitimate out of business." Metz expects to return . home via Florida and New Orleans. It has been pretty well established that Harry Meek invented the delayed steal, and, cometh a New York writer with the "info" that Willie Ritchie in vented the delayed fight. This being true, then. Johnny Coulon is showing how to take one man's invention and Improve on it. "Be sure you are right and then go ahead" Is a good motto, particularly If you are an evangelist. -Hp at Puyallup F. R, Wedge 3s saving souls spotlight on the Northwestern League roster he would never have made known that discovery, for no less than 42 ex-Pacific Coast Leaguers are. now drawing pay from Northwestern League managers. Class B Produces Stars. Newt is right in saying that one could pick a good all-star team from the equad of former B's now in the coast Hannah, Meek, Brooks, Sepul veda and Roberts, catchers; Higgin botham. Pernoll, Standridge, Harkness, Killilay, Barrenkamp and Decannier, pitchers: Davis, Cartwright, Bancroft, Leard, Hetllng and Moore, infielders; Speas, Van Buren, Mundorff and Coy, outfielders.

BURNS DENIES "FIXING" MATCH WITH BATTLING BRAXT 3VO TRAMK-IP," SAYS FIGHTER. Sol Levtnson Also Pronounces Humors of Fake, Coming; From Los Angeles, as Without Foundation. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28. (Special.) Back in San Francisco today from Taft, where Arthur Pelkey was knocked galley west by one Kid Kenneth, Tommy Burns denied in toto the charge from Los Angeles that the ex-champion had "framed" with Battling Brant, who, the Los Angeles report said, was formerly a clerk in Burns' haberdashery in Calgary. Burns sports a black eye as a re sult of his four-round encounter with Brant, but declares positively that Brant was not Imported for the oc casion, and further says that he never set eyes on Brant before he made the trip to the oil fields. Sol Levinson, who knows the boxers of this vicinity, adds that Brant is a no-account heavyweight, who formerly was a soldier, 'once appeared in San Francisco in the four-round game and has been boxing hereabouts for a couple of years. Evidently the Los Angeles story was twisted somewhat. Soccer Games Scheduled. CENTRALIA, Wash., Jan. 28. (Spe cial.) Dan McMullen, manager of the Mendota soccer football team, today accepted a challenge from Tono for a series of three games to decide the soccer supremacy of Southwest Wash ington and to secure permanent pos session of the silver trophy cup re cently donated by Centralia merchants.

Peterson's contract is expected within a few days. Contracts also have been sent to Boat man, Stokke, Fuller and Turple, all of whom are in Seattle. SYNDICALIST POWER GONE Opponents of Arbitration Discredited by Strike in Antipodes. SYDNEY. N. S.W.. Jan. 26. (Spe cial.) Normal conditions are rapidly following the cessation of the shipping strike, both here and in New Zealand. The syndicalists atnd opponents of in dustrial arbitration have been hope lessly beaten, not merely by the atti tude of the employers and the govern ment, but also by the action of a large body of the workers themselves, who still favor peaceful arbitrament in in dustrial disputes. This is shown by the overwhelming success of the "new" unions registered under the arbitration act, which most of the workers have now joined. Earl's Sons Left $10,000,000. LONDON, Jan. 26.

We know now what President Gll mo're meant when he said: "We are going after some of the biggest men in baseball." Falkenberg of the Naps has deserted. Looking back into the files we find this gem under dateline of Decem ber 27: "If you want a straight tip," said Owner Bob Hedges, of the St. Louis Browns, today, "Just put it down that the Federal League won't last two weeks." That sort of a tip. once cost us $125. It was back in the palmy days of 1907 at the old Emeryville tracks near Oak land when a 10-to-l shot came in about 15 past 2. . New York newspapers have been panning Russ Ford and Ed Sweeney "something fierce" since the announce ment of their jump to the Federals. "They all look good when they're far away?" Yes, good for nothing. Dost remember Aesop's bunko. Interesting tales and Japes?? . Dost this not remind you, Monko, Of Old Reynard and the grapes??? . Charles Brlckley told a friend? that he acquired his wonderful dropkick dexterity by practicing boots for an hour a day at a window in the old barn door.

Lee Paget to announce his candidacy for Governor. Cal Ewing to fire another shot at McCredie. Jack King to find another white hope. Methuselah to sign with the Feds. Muckenfuss is the name of the man who wants to put a Federal League team in New York. He has an ap propriate handle for a big league base ball magnate. BOWLERS TO JOIN I Portland Pin Smashers Agree to Support Organization West of Rockies; UNIFORM RULES IS OBJECT Combination Xot to Interfere With Northwest and Western Congress or Slate Association Myers First to Sign. Portland fell in. line last night with the movement to organize bowlers west of the Rocky Mountains into a big as sociation, and before the meeting at the Hotel Benson was over two dozen had signed a paper Indicating their willingness to be affiliated with the Pacific Bowling Association. This is expected to be a boon to the bowling game in the West. W. B. Thompson, organizer of the new asso ciation, spoke of the benefits which he expected to result through the organi zation of players. The Pacific Association is recognized by all bowlers in cities of the South and as far East as Denver. The cities to the north of Portland are expected to fall in line without trouble. Membership dues in the organization will be 50 cents a year. This will be enough to pay all the expenses of an annual tournament of the bowlers and keep up the organization. This combination of the bowlers will not in any way affect the Northwest Bowling Congress, the State Associa tion or the Western Congress. It is a general body that will have as its aim the adoption of uniform rules, probably the American Bowling Congress regu lations. Portland is expected to furnish about 400 names to the association. President Myers, of the Portland Tournament As sociation, was the first man to sign the list. Fourth place almost caused a flght. "Dad" Meek, premier batter of the last Northwestern Baseball League, all his life has batted fourth and he de clared that the association would not be a success unless he was fourth on the list. He won the point. FAST GAMES BOWLED COMMERCIAL LEAGUE HAMMERS PIN'S ON TWO ALLEYS. Brunswick Defeat Italnlers and Gid eons Win From Columbus Junior. Cranes and Trlanffles Victor.
