TORTLAND TRAINING CAMP. Santa
Maria, Ca!., March 12. (Special.)
Walt McCredie returned from , Los
Anpreles today, and if Pinal oil wells
had been squirting grapejuice the
camp couldn't have been busier.
After announcing the signing of Roy
Brashear for an infield utility berth,
the Beaver chieftain conferred with
Nick Williams, Portland Northwest
manager, gave him first crack at a
couple of young pitchers, distributed
the new road uniforms, and then sicked
his two picked teams at each other in
a red-hot seven-inning practice game.
This time the outfielders, led by Bill
Spease, lined the inflelders, 4 to 2.
Brash Needed as Hitter.
But, more about Mac and this Brash
ear business: The former captain of
the Venice Tigers is to report tomor
row, and McCredie thinks he will help
a lot. Brash is down to weight and is
anxious for a job. He was released by
Happy Hogan to make room at second
base for Bill Leard.
"Brashear tore a ligament loose from
the lower bone in his leg last season,"
explained McCredie. "So he did not
have a good year, but he has been hit
ting around .300 year in and year out
and will do-so again. I intend to carry
six inflelders for the first few weeks."
The record book shows the veteran's
bat work for four years past to have
been as follows: 1910, .238 and 37 stolen
bases; 1911, .297 and 36 stolen bases;
1912, .314 and 27 stolen bases; 1913, .258
and 13 stolen bases.
Nick Williams left for San Francisco
without any definite promise about
Outfielder Milligan. Mac wants to carry
the Cedar Rapids recruit for a few
weeks, for he looks mighty promising,
but Nick needs strengthening in the
gardens.
Lober Find Batting Eye.
So there the case rests.
In today's practice session the hit
ting of Lober, Speas, Higginbotham
and Davis, and the pitching of Re
cruits Hanson, of San Bernardino, and
Frambacli, of Rupert, Idaho, featured.
In three times - up Lober poled out
three screaming singles, while Speas
and Davis annexed two apiece, Krause
Jumped onto one of Hanson's fast ones
for a wallop 50 feet over deep left
fence for a homer.
The lineups, with the hits, follow:
Tannigans Bancroft, ss.; Spease, 2b.,
2 hits; Ryan. c.f.. 1 hit; Doane, If., 1
double: Kellerman, 3b.; Lober, lb., 3

Cowboy Hope Falls.
Seaton's cowboy hope, Smith, pitched
the first four innings against the Yan
nigans. and the score speaks volumes.
'. Frambach relieved him for the last
three, and the 19-year-old blond again
proved of gilt-edge stock. He walked
two and allowed two scattering singles.
The Regs would not have scored except
for a wild heave by Perkins.
Big Hanson also whizzed the sphere
across with rifle-like velocity. He has
a wonderful move in the box, and, some
time is sure to be a class AA leaguer.
Hanson is a little shy on control, how.
ever, and like all youngsters, has a lot
more of the fine stuff to' master.
The wear and tear of March will de-
termine whether Hanson, ' Frambach,
Salveson and Peet remain with the
champs.
WOLVES SHOW BETTER FORM
One Southpaw Pitching Recruit Re
turns to Montana Home.
MARYSVILLE. Cal., March 12. (Spe
cial.) Captain Wolverton will be a
more dangerous hitter in the pinches
this year than last. Pep Young will
be a better hitler rtrts year than last,
and this improvement will bolster up
his fielding work so that he will be
an even better ground coverer than he
was last season. Recruit Second Base
man Gil de Forrest is due to find his
batting eye within the next week.
Southpaw Pitcher Mike Cann is rapidly
rounding into condition where he will
show up the boys who thought they
could condemn him to the discards last
week. Recruit Outfielder Gillespie is
showing himself a great ground coverer
in fielding and is possessed of one of
the best throwing arms seen thus far
In camp.
In a nutshell these are the develop
ments in the training camp of the
Sacramento Wolves. The pitching
squad in camp has been cut by one
southpaw, Anderson having been sent
back to Montana. Al Schweitzer will
be required to take things easy for a
day or two on account of a broken
toenail, suffered today when he batted
a ball full force on his foot.
JEFFERSON" XAMES OFFICERS
Milton Hermann Chosen President of
Athletic Association.
Officers of the Jefferson High School
Athletic Association were elected for
the ensuing term at a meeting held in
the school auditorium yesterday. Mil
ton Hermann was elected president.
Flo Killingsworth vice-president, Flor
ence Parelius secretary, Laymon Bon
ney treasurer, Phoebe Snow sergeant-at-arms.
Mr. Jamison and Miss Donnell
faculty advisers, .lames Sheehy. Louise
Watson, John Kennedy. Fred. Johnson
and Steve Wilcox board of directors.
Milton Hermann managed the 1913
f.iotball team and for the past two
years lie has been a big factor in the
school's athletics. At present he is
out for a pitching berth on the 1914
nine and chances are that he will again
manage the football team next Fall.
Laymon Bonney has represented the
school in every form of athletics for
the past year and has made five offi
cial "J's."
The first "matinee dance" given by
the June '14 class will be held in the
school gymnasium today, starting im
mediately after school and lasting un
til 6:30 o'clock. The funds derived
from the dance will go toward defray
ing the expenses of printing the Spec
trum, the official paper of the school.
The June '14 class also decided to stage
the "College Widow," but the exact
date of presentation has not been selected.
SOME OF THE RECRUITS AND
SUCCESSOR STILL IN DOUBT
Vale, Lewiston and The Dalles Are
Mentioned as Possible Contend
ers for Franchise but Xone
i Considered Seriously.
PENDLETON. Or., March 12. (Spe
cial.) Wesley N. Matlock, president of
the Pendleton club, tonight said: "Our
action was caused by the lack of
proper support. The banks refuse to
make any contribution and the senti
ment among hotels and other business
houses was anything but encouraging.
While we could probably raise the nec
essary money without their assistance,
I do not think it fair to ask the di
rectors to sacrifice tneir time ana i
money and then not receive the sup
port of the business community. I am
not blaming the men for refusing to
contribute, but I do" blame them for
not making their attitude known be
fore." President Brown sought by telephone
to induce the local directors to rescind
their action, but was told it was final.
Pendleton has surrendered the fran
chise of the Western Tri-State League.
Efforts of Mayor Matlock, who was
head of the Tri-State club in the "Let
er Buck" city, to obtain support from
baseball enthusiasts failed and he de
cided to give up plans to furnish or
ganized baseball for the town.
This decision was made after a com
mittee of ardent fanB had spent a week
in soliciting funds to support the team
and had obtained a little more than
$100 for their efforts.
The decision of Mayor Matlock leaves
Trit-State magnates in a quandary.
Although several cities are mentioned
as possible successors to Pendleton,
there are serious objections to permit
ting any of them to enter the fold of
organized baseball. Transportation
and population are the chief draw
backs. Among those suggested as de
sirous of supporting a team are The
Dalles and Vale, Or., and Lewiston,
Idaho.
The problem of transportation prob
ably eliminate Vale and Lewiston. It
is also argued that Vale has not suf
ficient population. This same argu
ment and is used against Lewiston.
A message from The Dalles last night
says the Tri-State franchise never has
been considered as a possibility in that
city.
L. A. Spangler, manager of Spald
ings, who helped in the organization
of the Tri-State League. Is of the opin
ion that Lewiston is -the logical town
to take the place of Pendleton.
"Lewiston was represented at the
annual meeting, January 20. and
seemed to have the right spirit to
undertake the support of a team."
Al Lodell, selected to manage the
Pendleton team, received word yesteT
day of his release. All the players also
were released.
The Baseball Boosters' Club met at
luncheon yesterday noon at the Hotel
Portland. The business of the meet
ing was confined principally to the
arrangement of detail for the opening
day in Portland.
Parade plans will probably be altered
so as to include the automobiles of
fans. This will not do away with the
streecar parade. Arrangements have
been left to the parade committee, ap
pointed by President Baker, as fol
lows: William T. Pangle. chairman: Ed
Lyons, C. W. Robison, Charles Newton
Ryan, J. E. Dunn, C. H. Moore, Mark
Woodruff, J. R. Rogers and E. S. Hlg
gins. The Booster buttons will be altered
somewhat but will have the same Colt
Beaver design. A committee to handle
the sale of the buttons consists of E.
S. Hlgglns, chairman, Ray Barkhurst,
William T. Pangle and L. E. Warford.
The Boosters will meet again at the
Hotel Portland on Thursday noon.
Just what Walter McCredie will do
with Roy Brashear, the released Tiger,
whom he took on yesterday, is not ex
actly clear.
Brashear had the disagreeable habit
of breaking up games in which the
Beavers figured. One way to win the
pennant is to hire the men who beat
the Beavers, but as Brashear was a
free agent he would not be called dan
gerous. The signing of the star, whose luster
is at present somewhat dimmed, is as
much a mystery to President McCredie
as to others.
With half a dozen batting almost 10
points in excess of the average Coast
er, Brashear's position as pinch-hltter
does not seem clearly defined.

SOCCER TIE TO BE DECIDED
Varsity Team Will Play Columbia in
Portland Saturday.
- UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
March 12. (Special.) The university
soccer team is practicing hard for its
final game next Saturday, when the Co
lumbia University will be played on
Multnomah field. Portland, to settle the
tie of last Saturday.
Eugene has become soccer enthused
since the Columbia-Oregon match, and
indications point favorably toward a
permanent installation of the British
sport. In fact local Englishmen, some
of whom played on famous teams of
their country, are burning out with the
varsity men and helping them master
the finer points of soccer.
Dr. Stewart, athletic director of the
Oregon Agricultural College, said when
here last Saturday with his basketball
team: "Just as soon as our new foot
ball field is completed two soccer fields
will be provided at Corvallis."
From Dr. Stewart's attitude and that
of the Oregon coaches, intercollegiate
soccer games are not far distant.
Colin V. Dyment and squad of 12 men
will leave early Saturday morning for
Portland.
BOHXER'S SELECTION OPPOSED
Dr. Stewart, of O. A. C, Xames AI1
Xorthwest Basketball Team.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis. Or.. March 12. (Special.)
Dr. E. J. Stewart, athletic sponsor at
the Oregon Agricultural College, has
selected an All-Northwest basketball
quintet which he thinks would be an
even more formidable aggregation than
the five officially chosen by Coach
Bohler, of Washington State.
Stewart's team is as follows: For
wards. Loux, of Idaho, and Dewey,
of Oregon Agricultural College; cen
ter, Savage, of Washington; guards,
McFee, of Washington, and May of
Oregon Agricultural College.
Stewart agrees with Bohler in the
selection of Loux as forward and Sav
age as center. He also disagrees with
the official selection of King as guard.
The choice of Fen ton as a forward
also- is not justified according to Dr.
Stewart.

Boxing and wrestling featured the

NEW FIELDER TRIES OUT
MILMliAN, DRAFTED FROM CEDAR
RAPIDS. LOOKS GOOD.
Plnvrr Who Slipped After Chance In
American Association Cornea Back
and McCredie Grabs Him.
PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Santa
Maria, Cal., March ,J2. (Special.)
Only one new outfielder is trying for a
berth on the Portland Coast champs
this year. His name is Davey Milligan,
and he was drafted from Cedar Rapids
last Fall by McCredie, said city being
in the Central Association, a class B
league.
Milligan began playing at Hannibal,
Mo., in 1909, and went so well that he
was purchased by Indianapolis of the
American Association. But he didn't
set the association on fire with his
batting record of .253, nor did he startle
anybody in 1911 iack at Hannibal
when he hit .266 and stole only 12
bases.
But Dave began to "comeback" in
1912. He binged the leather at a .301
clip and grabbed off 50 stolen hassocks
in the season. Last year Hannibal's
franchise was transferred to Cedar
Rapids. Milligan batted .320 and stole
53 bases.
Then Manager McCredie grabbed him.
Dave is 26 years old, stands 5 feet
9 inches tall, and weighs 160 pounds.
In fielding he looks mighty good.
Just what disposal McCredie will make
of his fifth outfielder, is problematical.
If the veterans all go good from the
Inimitable flavor, rare quality,
absolute purity.
