BEAVER RECRUITS
TO
McCredie Says This Year He
Will Wot Pass Final Judg
ment at Training Camp.
ALL WILL START SEASON
Chance of Letting "Coiner" Go Just
Because He Doesn't Show Class
at Start Not to Be Taken.
Rosters Compared.
Although McCredle's deals of the late
Winter fortified the Beavers against
any material handicap In the 1914 Coast
League race, the list of "bushers"
which he has scraped up will deserve
watching.
These are confined to the battery,
and "dope" has them a little better than
the average.
A year ago a college boy at Decorah,
111., was picked as a winner by a
veteran catcher named Keefe, and sent
to the big leagues. Comstock wa "one
of the sensations of the season. Keefe,
now retired and living at Decorah,
played in the Northwest many years
ago. Later he went East and played
with the Middle West teams.
Walter McCredie is on the warmest
of terms with Keefe and when he sent
word of Ryggs, who pitched with De
corah College, McCredie took it as a
good hunch. His other youngsters are
equally well recommended.
Others Dtnervc Watchlnf.
One of them is Perkins, a former
Jnterscholastic League star. Perkins
batted .400 in the bushes and is men
tioned as a wonder behind the bat. 1'eet
and Framback, the two broilers from
the Western Tri-State League, will also
deserve watching. They were head and
shoulders over their teammates last
year.
A resolve which McCredie made yes
terday will be a. benefit to this class or
player. They will all be taken around
on the first trip North. While the
training camp sometimes fails, the trip
over the real rouse usually brings out
the good or bad. .
"I think it good policy to hang on to
the full squad longer than has been
the case before," said McCredie yester
day. "How often does some manager
let some boy go, after two weeks'
practice, and then have to read all
about a new star some two weeks after
having released him.
"The manager kicks himself and gets
a worse kicking from the fans. Then,
again, the training season does not
always determine and unless I am
absolutely sure that I have picked a
lemon, I will take the full band all
the way around the circuit."
' Rosters Are Compared.
The rosters of the teams show Mc
Credie to be well up In numbers. Sacra
mento, San Francisco and Oakland all
have about the same.
When McCredie gets to Santa Maria

the exception of Pape and Krapp, who
are still among the missing. Berry

MISSIXG MEX CAUSE WORRY
White Sox Special Does Xot- Carry
' Some of Expected Coasters.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20. (Spe
cial.) The San Francisco and Oakland
managements are worrying over what
has become ef several of their players
who were expected to be aboard the
White Sox special which left Chicago
Thursday night. According to a spe
cial dispatch from, a correspondent on
board the special there were only seven
Coast League players accounted for
when Chicago was left. They are:
Charles O'Leary, San Francisco; Ness
and Quinlan, Oakland: "Rowdy" El
liott, Venice, and Stroud, Tennant and
Young, Sacramento.
The question Is, what has become
of Pruitt, Cook, Charles ("Bullet")
Miller and Colligan, who were notified
to make "reservations with the Sox?
They were to be on hand at Chicago,
but evidently missed connections, for
the report is quite authentic that they
are not on the train. At Kansas City,
Middleton and Barrenkamp, Oakland
recruits, have sent word that they
will step on the train, but nothing has
been heard of the other missing ones.
Perhaps the absentees will come out
later on their own hook, but they will
hardly be on. hand by Monday, 'which
Is the day set for reporting. Secretary
Harry Walton has been after the rail
road company to ascertain if the "play
ers have taken up their transportation,
but he has received no satisfaction.
The fact that 'Bullet" Miller is not
on the train brings out the informa
tion that he is a genuine holdout.

MEETING PLANS NOW UPSET
President Hermann 'Admits Situation
Becomes Perplexing.
CINCINNATI. Feb. 20. News from
Chicago that President Murphy, of the
Chicago Nationals, would not be able
to attend tomorrow's meeting of the
National League proved quite an upset
to President Herrmann.
"I don't know Just what we can do
or what we shall do," he said. "Of
course, it Is neither right nor legal
to touch on any affairs of Mr. Murphy
in his absence, since Governor Toner
has not yet arrived.
"The situation is perplexing. Still I
have great confidence in Tener. I firm
ly believe that he has found a solution
of all existing problems, without prej
udice or Injustice to anybody, and that
he will tomorrow present a decision
which will be acceptable to all of us,
even to Mr. Murphy, should that gen
tleman be able to attend."

REEF EXTENDS 1000 MILES
For Three Days Tourists Are Re
galed With Tales of Great Bar
rier, Massacre, Mutinies, Et
cetera to Last Lifetime.
BY G. W. AXELSON,
Sporting- Editor the Record-Herald.
(Copyright, 1914. by Henry Barrett Cham
berlln.) ON THE. CORAL SEA, Dec. 29. Fol
lowing in the wake of Captain Cook
may be romantic, ' but not necessarily
conducive to quiet nerves. The world
touring White Sox and Giants would
have been more than willing to have
traded the romance for waters less in
fested with the hard-working polyp.
The polyp hardly classes with other
denizens of the seas, but when a few
million get together in one place the
careful navigator begins to throw out
his lead.
So it has been since leaving Torres
Straits. , where the evidences of the In
dustry of that marvelous insect first
met the gaze of the tourists. It Is true
that the polyp quits working within
three or four feet of the surface, but
through submarine upheavals or other
causes his style of architecture was
seen rising above the water within an
hour's sail on Thursday Island. Here
began the Great Barrier Reef, inside
which is probably the most dangerous
waters for navigators in the southern
hemisphere.
Polyp Travel Around.
For a thousand miles south this coral
reef extends. It would be all right if
It ran in a straight line, but evidently
there must have been some family
quarrels, as certain of the insectivorous
tribe took side excursions, leaving in
their paths numerous walls at right
angles to the mnln rf .
tion scores of coraline rings, figure
eights and many other formations.
Thus it worked and labored for a few
million years, until it left a network
of coral construction, to the despair of
the early and late navigators of these
seas.
These submerged reefs crowded in on
the St. Albans the first night out, and,
although a starry sky overhead gave
Indications of an uninterrupted Journey
the tourists discovered at midnight that
the engine no longer vibrated. Anchor
had been cast. A tiny insect had
stopped 15,000 horsepower.
For three days the tourists were
regaled with tales of the Great Bar
rier Reef. Each was a tragedy, and
at last It began to get on the nerves
of our travelers. In their mind's eye
they could see the ship piled up on
some unseen reef, with everybody doing
the high dive into the briny.
Place Great for Wrecks.
"A wreck every mile" fits the descrip
tion of this thousand-mile reef. Aside
from this there are tales of massacres,
of mutinies and disappearances, mate
rial enough for volumes. As late as
1911 the steamship Tongala from Syd
ney with 400 passengers foundered near
Dent Island inside the reef, and not a
spar was ever found. The ship could
easily be seen from land, but after the
typhoon had passed' over it it had dis
appeared. The interesting theory was
advanced by scientists that the center
of the vortex, a vacuum, passed over
it. With the hatches batted down the
air pressure inside became too great
and it exploded. A year later the
Koombana went down close to where
the Yongala disappeared.
Previous to these twin disasters hun
dreds were recorded on this deadly reef.
It approaches the miraculous when the
log of Captain Cook is read. This dar
ing navigator entered the treacherous
waters from the south and eventually
emerged at its northern terminus alive.
aiiuuun ne aia not escape being
wrecked on one of the reefs. No white
man had ever been inside before unless
De Torres had entered it for a short
distance from Thursday Island, which
is unlikely.
Captain Cook, according to accounts,
had not the slightest idea of the nature
of the waters on which he entered, but
once there he stuck It out. Wrecked
on a reef, he, after prodigious labor
got the ship off, guided It to land and
repaired it- He not only charted the
coast but also the reef, and since that
time It has been surveyed- and resur
veyed only to have the wrecks pile up
year after year.
Early Sailors Lost.
That Spanish and Portuguese naviga

It. The galleons of these fearless men

stand on the Murphy issue and as its
mandates are usually made to be
obeyed, fans are
watching with In

nor Tener's next
move will be.

"Murphy's case is up to Governor

dent supreme power in National
League affairs. We voted to give
Mr. Tener full authority to deal with
Murphy."
It was learned on excellent authority
that the National League intends to

to step down and out. He has left him

breakwaters.
So numerous are the islands, coral
and others, that the early navigators
were unable to find names for all, and
resorted to the alphabet with the re

Thursday on his way to Astoria, where
he gave his illustrated lecture on ath
letics Is st.- night- Mr. Hay ward gave
exhibitions m T'r Dulles, Hood River

The Oregon trainer has hopes of
spending next week in Eugene so as to
start his own team in active practice.
Only two of last season's point win
ners, Sam Cook and Johnny, Parsons,
are back this Spring and as yet Mr.
Hayward has been unable to get a line
on the new material on hand,
Mr. Hayward's lectures before high
schools throughout the state have been
received with enthusiasm and an exhi

time this Spring. Several motion pic

among his possessions.

Oregon's famous trainer is trying to
create more interest In "athletics. Mr.
Hayward says a large majority of
freshmen entering the university are
below the average physiclally and
those who are normal are the ones who
have taken part in athletics. As a
special added attraction 400 feet of
the Oregon-Washington football game

taking part in athletics both men were
practically invalids and now they are
among the star athletes of the world.

This boat has been heralded for some
time and has had Wolff, Cooper,

have been quite content with racing
boats having as many as eight cylin

monster had them backing. In all this
lies a story.
The new proposition seemed too lm

river hired a gumshoe artist and then
discoveries followed thick and fast.
The detective took a position just out
side jsewoerger's house. He put his
ear to the keyhole and heard New
berger ordering 16 milk cans. There
indeed was the immense hull for the
new speeder. Ultimately four sets of
the dummy cylinders were Dlaced in
the hull. But underneath that pile of

MULTNOMAH TAKES
THREE OF 4 EVENTS
Winged "M" Athletes Get Re
venge From Spokane at-Inter-Club
Tourney.
HAMLIN IS BIG SURPRISE
Portland Wrestler Goes in at Elev
enth Hour and Glalie Wins Only
on Aggressiveness ; McCarthy
Is Winner Over Burns.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club evened up for the interlclub de
feat at Spokane a week ago, when it
succeeded in winning three of the four
matches from the inlanders last night
at the Multnomah gymnasium. The
preliminary boxing proved to be some
of the best milling seen here in months.
The greatst surprise in the wrestling
matches was the wonderful showing
Hamlin, of Multnomah, made against
Glahe, of Spokane, who holds the
Northwest amateur championship for
115 pounds. Glahe won the match on
aggressiveness after two 15-minute
sessions of grappling. Clibborn, of
Multnomah, was to have met Glahe.
but owing to the fact that he was over
weight, Hamlin was substituted at the
eleventh hour.
McCarthy, Multnomah's 158-pound
wrestler, took two falls from Burns.
the Spokane star. This bout was one
of the interesting numbers of the eve
ning. Montpier Gets Revenge.
Montpier, of Multnomah, in the 125-
pound boxing class had sweet revenge
for the defeat he suffered at the hands
of Elllngston in the Multnomah-Spo
kane dual meet at Spokane a week ago.
At the end of the third round Mont
pier capped three rounds in which he
had all the best of it by knocking EU
ingston down.
Gannon, of Spokane, was inclined to
use wrestling tactics and Knowlton
played with him. This was one of the
limp numbers of the evening.
Schmeer, of Multnomah, received a
decision over Crbnqulst, Beaver Club
star, after an extra round. This, made
the second defeat of the -week for the
145-pound Coast champion. Hardy, of
Beaverton, scored a tally against him
on Wednesday night.
This was the feature bout of the pre
liminaries. Both boxers went at it
hammer and tongs and when the gong
sounded for the end of the xourth round
both men were "all in."
Cronqnist Uses Upper pat.
Cronquist worked a left upper-cut
which caused the Multnomah man some
anxiety in the third round.
The Groat-Madden bout was another
in which both boxers took and gave a
lot of punishment. .The decision was
given to Madden, the Multnomah man
at the end of the third.
Owing to the fact that Thorsness, of
Multnomah, contracted a sudden ill
ness, following one round of boxing
with Norworth, he was compelled to
quit and the bout was given to his op
ponent. The summary:
Summary:
12-pound wrestling Glahe, Spokane A.
C, won first fall from Hamlin, Multnomah,
aggressiveness. Glahe won second fall and
match 'from Hamlin on aggressiveness.
138-pound wrestling McCarthy, M ultno
mdh, won first fall in 10 minutes, 13 sec
onds, from Burns, Spokane A. C. : half
Nelson hold. McCarthy won second fall

rounds.

AUTO RAGES POSTPONED
RAIIV STORM DELAYS PROGRAMME
TO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY,
V-inderbllt Cnp and Grand Prla Events
at Los Angeles Held Up Until
Electric Lines Are Restored.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20 (Special.)
The Vanderbilt cup and Grand Priz
races were postponed today until
Thursday, February 26, and Saturday,
February 28, respectively, by the race
committee.
This .decision, made public by Chair
man Shettler, was the direct result, he
said, of a report from D. W. Pontius,
traffic manager for the Pacific .Elec
tric, who announced that 100 cars were
out of commission, every line being
badly crippled, several bridges washed
out and the company absolutely unable
to satisfy the demands for service that
would be made upon it in case the races
were held as scheduled, Saturday and
Monday.
Shettler also ordered the meeting of
drivers, entrants and mechanics, called
for this morning for final instruction
before the races, postponed until next
Wednesday, February 25.
Dave Lewis, the driver of the Fiat
car which overturned at Soldiers' Home
f Monday and killed Lewis Smith, ap
peared at the meeting. His face was
badly cut and his eyes bloodshot, but
he was smiling. He was greeted enthu
siastically and his hand was shaken
until he said he was exhausted by the
other drivers.
All the drivers agreed that postpone
ment was the only thing to do, and
really welcomed It, as it will give them
addltonal time for practice. The down
pour has not injured the track itself.
but, on the other hand, it is said tha
rain has made the road faster than
ever by securely packing It. The driv
ers will resume practice Monday morn
ing.
