PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP. Santa
Staria, Cal., March 20. (Special.) If
the cogs in Portland's pennant machine
do not work smoothly this year it will
not be the fault of tho Palmer Union
Oil Company. Walter McCredie and his
clan saw enough oil this afternoon to
make John I". Rockefeller forget for
ever his $350,000 daily income.
The Beavers went on a tour today
. of the Palmer Union lease, 16 miles
southeast of Santa Maria, as the quests
of President Brown and Superintendent
Tooker, and quite some auto joyride it
was.
There were hair oil wells, olive oil
tpoiitors. salad sumps and a myriad
of 3000-foot shafts oozing up the old
fashioned viscuous stuff they slobber
on the carrails to keep the wheels
from squeaking on the turns.
Shoes Carry Away Hulk.
Oil enough to calm the ocean was
there on. exhibition, in tanks and in
huge open-air reservoirs about the size
of Multnomah field.
Some of It is there yet, although ap
parently the bulk of the resources the
boys toted back on Their shoes.
- It cost approximately 130.000 to sink
a. 3000-foot shaft, according to Super
intendent Tooker. Inasmuch as they
do not know then whether the geyser
i.-f going to exude oil, water or may
onnaise dressing; the experiment is
costly sometimes.
' It can be announced authoritatively,
that all the Beavers will be on hand
tomorrow.
There will be no deserters and
'twere well. Mae will need all hands,
including longshoremen and the cabin
boys, tomorrow.
Black Play Real Ball.
The Chicago negro Giants are sched
uled here for the first engagement of
a four-gaine series, and theio pickanin
nies need no further recommendation
than a reference to last year's series.
They are coming in all shades and fan
cies ebony, mulatto, bun cochin, sepia
andjtrst plain jet. But every cloud
conceals a ball player of real class.
Frambach wjll be on the hill for the
Beavers.
It will be the first real test for the
fast-growing Idaho phenomenon, and
Mac intends to let him go tho full nine
innings. Whether Rube Foster's black
crew will agree to the arrangement re
mains for tomorrow to disclose. 11a
' worth will catch.
Either Francis or Lindsay will twirl
for the negroes.
jMegroe Hitc Old Lineup.
With one or two exceptions the Ethi
opians will bring the same club that
licked the Coast champions one year
ago. Cans, In right held, is one of the
new faces. Ts not Joe. Foster's pitch
ers are Francis. Lindsay, Dougherty,
Williams, Wade and Rube "hlsself."
. Before departing for the oil field
Junket this morning the Beavers lim
bered up for 30 minutes at tho ball
orchard. But it was the same old grind.
Harry Krause's left arm is coming
around in good shape now, but HI West
is doctoring his "souper," as the pitch
ing arm is known in the vernacular of
the diamond.
Derrick and Fisher likewise are com
plaining a little of soreness, but the
rest of the flock appear able-bodied.
Either Higginbotham or Krause will
pitch the opening game March 31 at
Sacramento, announced Manager Mc
Credie tonight.

BOYES SPRINGS, March 20. (Spe

prevailed today under the supervision
of Acting Manager "Skeeter" Fanning,
and after the usual batting and infield
practice the boys enjoyed an afternoon
swim in an open-air tank.
An addition to tlj camp was "Lefty"
Lelneld. accompanied by Mrs. Leifield
and Southpaw, Jr. Leifield appeared in
battle array and delved into his work.
He does not appear to be the least bit
stale. The town will declare a holi

Corvallis, Or., March 20. (Special.)
A busy day, athletically, is promised
for tomorrow at the Oregon Agricul
tural College. In the morning the
Interclass track meet, which will be
in the nature of a tryout for positions
on the varsity squad, will take place
on the campus. Some close competition
is expected in several events.
In the afternoon entertainment In
the shape of two baseball games will
be offered. The first will be between
the freshmen and sophomores. The
dope is overwhelmingly in favor ot the
freshmen.
The second baseball game will be
between Coach Clarke's varsity team
and the Corvallis nine. The town
team is composed largely of old Oregon
Agricultural College stars. The town
being without a pitcher of the class of
the rest of the nine, Coach Clarke will
loan to them one of his younger heav
ers, probably "Bicky" Williams.

DEVLIX MA YS1GX LOU BARBOUR
Rumor Says Oa kChicftain Has Eye
on White Sox Goof.
OAKLAND, Cal.. March 20. (Spe
ciaL) Arthur Devlin skipped across
the bay today, leaving his cohorts in
charge of Captain Cook. The helmsman
put the boys through the paces as in
augurated by the admiral himself. Dev
lin's trip was not a sightseeing one by
any means, bis objective point being
Recreation Park.
It is rumored the Oak chieftain has
his optics glued on Lou Barbour, the
inflelder of the rejuvenated Goofs. If
this young man played his normal game
yesterday it is highly probable his
name will be added to the Oak roster,
providing satisfactory arrangements
can be made wtth Callahan.
Mltze was in harness today for the
first time and appeared to be in fine
condition. The receiver is five pounds
below his normal weight and requires
only sufficient exercise to harden him
self for the daily grind. The coming
of Mitze will force Jones back to the
State League.
Gardner did not respond to duty's call
today and Zacher Is laid up with a se
vere cough and cold, accompanied by
chills, the usual symptoms of the
grippe being prevalent.

2 CLUBS WANT SEATOff
HENDRIX MAY GO TO BROOKLYN
IX PLACE OF WARD'S CHOICE.
Ex-Philadelphia Pitcher Wishes to
Play With Federal Club With
Which He Signed.'
CHICAGO, March .20. The task of
settling the Seaton case, first of the
Federal League player disputes, was
begun today. Both the Chicago club,
for whom Seaton was originally signed
by President Weegham, and the Brook
lyn Club, represented here by George
Ward, are desirous of retaining the
ex-Philadelphia pitcher.
President Gilmore said Seaton legal
ly is the property of Brooklyn, having
been awarded that club when the
Wards decided to take the franchise.
Weegham said he had promised R. B.
Ward, president of the Brooklyn Club,
his choice of pitchers on the Chicago
staff and that Ward picked out Seaton,
who thereupon was turned over to him,
though Chicago got nothing in return.
Seaton wishes to play with Chicago,
with which team he has been prac
ticing. If the pitcher is lost to the Brook
lyn team, Hendrix may be awarded to
President Ward.
The Chicago Nationals will begin the
season with their present pitching
staff, according to President Thomas.
It was reported that they would seek
to purchase or get in a trade one or
more additional first-class men.
XEAV BILLIARD GAME PLANNED
Tom Foley Thinks' Balk Line Rule
Too Easy for Hoppe.
CHICAGO, March 20. A new billiard
game must be devised to put Willie
Hoppe on an even footing with his
nearest competitor, according to Tarn
Foley, the "father of billiards." who
has arranged most of the championship
matches of the West for some years.
Foley today advocated a game in which
the table would be divided Into four
equal oblongs by lines drawn from the
center of each side and end parallel to
the sides and ends.
The rules would provide that one of
the object balls must be driven across
one of the dividing lines after each
shot. Fine cushion play, he said, would
be brought out by the scheme, and
skillful placing of the balls would be
a development of play.
EMIL HUHX LOOKS LIKE PRIZE
Seattle's Xew Catcher Shows Well on
First Day of Practice.
SEATTLE. Wash.. March 20. (Spe
cial.) It looks as if Seattle had drawn
a prize in Catcher Emil Huhn, who was
drafted from Adrian, Mich. His work
today, first time out, was high-class
in all departments.
Fourteen members of the squad re
ported for work today. Pitcher David
son, who has been employed by the
Great Northern, attached . himself to
the squad and worked himself into a
job, being signed today. . ;.
COAST PITCHERS POUNDED
Deconnairc, Clilcttc and Harkncss
Deliveries Rapped to All Sides or
' Park "Reb" Russell and
Cicotte Toss for Chicago.
LOS ANGELES, March 20. (Special.)
Mr. "Kid" Gleason turned today's
game over to more experienced help.
The logical result was another trounc
ing for the Tigers, the only item of
surprise being that the score did not
list more heavily in the direction of the
Sox. Finals: Chicago 6, Venice 4.
A lowly agriculturist having blanked
the Tigers on Thursday, it was ex
pected that "Reb" Russell and Eddie
Cicotte, men with well-developed major
league callouses, would do fully as welV
But they did not; that is, "Reb" didn't,
and in the seventh Gleason gave the
finger to him.
Cicotte crimped the Tigers in the last
two innings. Hap Hogan started with
Decanniere and finished with Chlette,
Harkness horning in for two innings
between times. The Sox sloughed their
combined pitching to 17 different sec
tions of the park. And what's more,
the plain or garden variety of base hits
would not satisfy them; they resorted
to two triples and three doubles to
carry out their diabolical designs. It
sure was an easy day for the Sox.
The score:
White Sox 1 Venice

"Mick Donald Wants His
Shoes"
Mick Writes His Demand to Judge
McCredt and the Judgre Wanta to
Know Who Mick Is?
NO MORE does the aspiring baseball
reporter dare to walk up to the
office of Judge McCredie, rap,, walk in
and say "Howdy, Judge," with Just
that little eclat. Things have been
getting too warm. The president of
the Portland baseball club is steeped
in the deepest mystery.
The whole tale lies in the identity
of Mick Donald, as yet unknown to
the Judge.
Each day when the president of the
ball club getsto the office he finds
various and sundry demands, written
in an unknown hand, scattered about
his desk.
Yesterday was no exception and the
president accordingly has decided to
be on hl3 guard.
Now when the baseball reporter
comes up to the suite on the eighth
floor of the Yeon building, he pulls
out a card ar.d sends it in.
If the card seems to be all right.
heavy chains and a big brass lock are
heard in action. The visitor is shown
in and there sits the Portland baseball
mogul as chubby as ever, but at his
side reposes a stack ol notes. Each
bears the same words.
"Mick Donald wants his shoes."
Now the judge has no idea who Mick
Donald is and still is not aware that
he has run off with anybody's shoes,
but -the handwriting on the sheets of
paper is getting bigger and bolder
every day and if they keep on coming.
there will be a sign out at the office:
Judge McCredie has gone to the
country."
PHILLIES MAY EXJOIX SEATON
Manager Dooln Says Killirer Will
Remain With actionals.
WILMINGTON, N. C, March 20.
When informed that application for an
injunction to restrain Killifer from
playing with the Philadelphia Nationals
had been filed at Grand Rapids, Charles
Dooin, manager of the club, said the
move had been anticipated, and his
course o faction had been clearly out
lined by legal counsel for the club.
"We have no fear whatever of losing
Killifer and we expect Tom Seaton to
return to the club before the season
opens. We shall ask for an injunction
restraining him from playing with the
Federals. I understand he has joined
the Chicago training squad at Shreve-porfc"

YOUNG HOUSEMAN STARS AT BAT
WITH THREE HITS.

of Men Off Base.
SANTA ROSA, Cal., March 20 (Spe
cial.) The second day in camp at Santa
Rosa taw a six-inning game between
two teams picked at random from the
multitude of Portland Colts. The
team containing the majority of regu
lars won. 7-1. Young Hauseman starred
at the bat with three hits out of three
times up, while Catcher Coleman and
Duke Whitt also came in the limelight
with two slashing drives each. These
three young players look as if they
would give anybody a tough fight dis
placing them from the regular lineup.
Fulton of Long Beach and Allen of
Oakland look pretty good on first, and
are the kind that will Improve.
Tho Indian Battlste showed himself a
foxy pitcher. He worked three innings.
and surprised the boys by nabbing a
couple of men off the bases and other
wise acting in the box like a veteran.
Bromley, Jameson, Carrick and
O'Donnell were the other twirlers, and
contented themselves with putting the
ball straight ovxer the plate and giving
their outfielders plenty of exercise.
Babe Reams at second base has lived
up to all the" good things said about
him by the various expert critics.
Though a big, rangy, shifty fellow, he
Is all over the field without any appar
ent effort. At o the bat he has not
proved himself popular with the out
fielders on the opposite team, as he has
had them all with their tongues hang
ing out from retrieving his long drives.
A miniature riot almost .started at the
ball park' by an old Irish rancher who
drove 20 miles to town to buy a couple
of Portland Cplts, and when he found
out they were two-legged colts, he de
clared himself "in forcible terms. ' In
fact there was nobody on the ball park
too big for him.

SLOGGER WILLIAMS' FIGHT
One of the Boxers in Tom Brown's
School Pays" Passes On.
Bulkelcy Owen Jones, who has been
identified with Slogger Williams, one
of- the noteworthy characters of "Tom
Brown's School Days," departed this
life a few days ago, ' following his
opponent in the famous fight, Augustus
Orlcbar, the original of "Tom Brown,"
who died two years ago, in the defini
tive edition of "Tom Brown's School
Days," Just published by the Putnams,
the editor, 1''. Sidgwick. makes this
comment regarding the bout in ques
tion: "Tom Brown's fight with 'Slogger
Williams' Is quite certainly founded on
fact, as is testified by the reminis
cences of the two original combatants
and one of- the 'backers,' Tom Hughes
being the other. They were, however,
not in different houses, . but both
Schoolhouse boys; and the fight, which
occurred in 1841, took place,, not in
the recognized spot behind the chapel,
but in the Schoolhouse hail, as the
day was wet.
"The two principals were Augustus
Orlebar and Bulkeley Owens Jones,
backed' respectively by J. G. Hollway
and Tom Hughes. . What caused the
fight has not been 1 recorded; but it
aroused Interest at the time partly
because the combatants were in upper
fifth and the upper middle fifth, re
spectively, and partly because Orlebar
'fainted and could not come up to time,'
and Jones, who was 'much more pun
ished,' was so disfigured that Dr. Arn
old did not know him. Arnold stopped
the fight, and both combatants, when
they recovered, had to repeat 200 lines
of Virgil to him for breaking the rules.
Both also became and remained firm
friends. Their last meeting was appro
priate enough, as is shown in the fol
lowing reminiscences of the Rev. A.
Orlebar:
" 'I was sitting under a tent in Dr.
James' garden at the time when so
many Rugbeians went up from far
and wide to attend the unveiling of
the statue to dear old Tom Brown.'
Whilst I sat there musing on the years
that were past and on what changes
had occurred at Rugby and In my life
since I left the Bchool as a boy, an
elderly clergyman came along and sat
down beside me. We began to talk,
and he soon told me that he was ac
tually in the school when Arnold died.
That opened the floodgates of both
memory and tongue and I asked him
his name, for I did not recognize him.
' 'When he mentioned it I stared in
surprise, but when I told him mine he
looked at me perfectly astonished. Then
we shook hands heartily, expressed our
delight at thus meeting, and had a
pleasant chat, referring to the "little
turn-up" we had had when we were
both boys at Rugby!'"
TALCUM POWDER ADVICE
Criminals Shown to Be Responsive
to Mental Treatment.
"The Next Step in Prison Reform," in the
Century.
At this precise point more than half
our state prisons are languishing in
the doldrums of reformation. From
most of them the old and revolting
forms of brutality have been stripped,
but nothing has been devised to take
their places. The whipping-post, the
leg-irons, the mugging penalties are
abolished. The convict immediately,
with sly glee, notes his immunity from
severe punishment, and dares to go to
lengths he never would have dreamed
of in the old brutal days. Whereupon
discipline relaxes: work is undone;
prison factories do not pay: the soli
tary confinement cells and the hospi
tals are overcrowded.
All of which places in the hands of
the reactionaries a powerful argument.
They call sternly for a return to the
former tools of discipline. "I don't be
lieve in the talcum powder treatment
for criminals," said an old warden. re
cently. "They are hard men, and if you
use baby lotions on them they merely
despise you."
"You are wrong," replied a younger
warden. (This conversation I overheard
one night during a session of a reoent
prison corlgress. ) "Criminals are only
children. They are not full-grown mem
tsJly. If so, they would not be crim
inals. Being children, very pitiful, weak
little children, using 'talcum powder,'
if you choose to call it that, is the very
treatment for them. The only mistake
a warden can make is in letting the
convict think that he, the warden, is
also a child." t

Will Powesor Scolch-Irisli.
The outstanding trait of the Scotch
man was wilL Ixo other element was
so masterful and contentious. In a
petition-alrected against their immigra
tion, the Quakers characterized them
as "pernicious and pugnacious people"
who "absolutely want to control the
province themselves." The stubborn
ness of their character is probably re
sponsible for the unexampied losses in
the battles of our civil war. They
fought the Indian, fought the British
with great unanimity in two wars, and
were in the front rank in the conquest
of the West. More than any other
stock has this tough, gritty breed, so
lacking In poetry and sensibility, mold
ed our National character. If today a
losing college crew rows so hard that
they have to be lifted from their shell
at the end of the boat race, it is be
cause the never-say-die Scotch-Irish
fighters and pioneers have been the
picturesque and glowing figures in the
imagination of American youth.
How the Scotch-Irish Came.
Century.
The flailing of the clans after the
futile rising of 1745 made the Scots
restless, and in the last 12 years of
the colonial era 20,000 Highlanders
sought homes In America. But most
of our Scottish blood came by way of
Ireland. Early in tho 18th century
the discriminations of Parliament
against the woolen industry of Ireland,
and against Presbyterianlsm, provoked
the largest immigration that occurred
before the revolution. The Ulster Pres
byterians were descended from Scots
men and English who had been Induced
between 1610 and 1618 to settle in the
north of Ireland, and who were, in
Macaulay's Judgment, . "as a class, su
perior to the average of the people left
behind them." They cared for ideas,
and at the beginning of the outflow
there was probably less illiteracy in
Ulster than anywhere else in the world.
Entire congregations came, each beaded
by its pastor.
Equal Suffrage Polling Places.
George Creel in March Century.
The inevitable first result of equal
suffrage is the removal of polling
places from the neighborhood of sa
loons. What was good enough for men
is not good enough for their women
folk. For the most part, voting booths
are in churches, parlors, corner gro
ceries, or schools. Illinois had many
of its polling places decorated with
potted plants, many Kansas towns in
troduced no smoking regulations, and
in all of the older equal suffrage states
there Is yet to be recorded an instance
of Insult to women in connection with
the franchise.

FEDS SUE FOR KILLIFER
INJUNCTION IS SOUGHT TO KEEP
CATCHER WITH OUTLAWS.
Contract Signed by Player Shown and
Charge Is Made That He Retained
asoo Advance Salary.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 20.
The first legal shot of the baseball
war of 1914 was fired today by the
Federal League in filing a petition
with the United States District Court
for' the Western District of Michigan,
asking for an injunction to restrain
William J. Killifer, Jr., formerly catch
er of the Philadelphia Nationals, from
playing baseball with any club other
than the Chicago Federals.
Killifer signed a three-year contract
with the Chicago Federals, but after
wards was persuaded that the reserve
clause in his old contract with the Phil
adelphia Club held him legally to Phil
adelphia and joined his former team.
The suit Involves the legality of the
reserve clause, long regarded as one
of the bulwarks Of organized baseball.
The suit was brought in the Western
Michigan district because Killifer is
a resident of Paw Paw, Mich.
The complaint which was signed by
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Federal League Baseball Club,
told of the signing of the contract by
Killifer in which he agreed to play for
three years for the Chicago Federals
for a total of $17,500 or $5833.33 a year.
The contract, a copy of which was at
tached to the petition for an enjoining
order, expressly stipulated, the court
was informed, that Killifer agreed to
dovote hie entire tiniu and attention
to the service of tho Chicago Federals.
The court was Informed that $500 was
advanced to Killifer on account, and
was accepted by liiin and is still retained.
