THE MORNING -- a. u&ai , ' . , 1. . , 1 . ' - 1 , d CLEVELAND SHEGKS HAY SEND CATCHER Yantz Being Negotiated for by McCredie, Who Is After ; St. Paul Pitcher Also. GARDNER HURLER SOUGHT Beaver Manager Tries to Get Port land Moundinun, Once Owned by j Pittsburg Victoria Tangle Irritates New Owner. . Catcher Yantz, of the Cleveland "Shecks" (meaning American Associa tion team), and Pitcher Gardner, of St. Paul, are the latest prospective addi tions to the Portland Coast club. Walt McCredie hasn't closed for either one, but the deals are on, he admitted last night, when shown dispatches from the East. Yantz caught for New Orleans and Birmingham in the Southern League for several seasons, 'tis said, and is needed by McCredie mainly because he is a right-handed batter. Fisher and Haworth both are left-hand swingers. Gardner is a Portland boy and tried to arrange a transfer from St. Paul to the Beavers last Winter. He broke in originally with Casey's Portland Colts in 1909, but was released, and next year, when picked up by Vancouver, proved a find. Pittsburg bought him and two years ago released him to St. Paul. Harry is a tall, rangy right hander and won 11 and lost 11 last year in the association. He is dissatisfied with his berth under. Manager Friel, hence the present dickering. Catcher Spellman, of Cleveland, has also been offered to Portland, but likely will be rejected if Yantz is sent West ward. Fielder Jones, president of the North western League, leaves today for Vic toria, B. C. where he has been called to assist in straightening out a tangle over the recent transfer of the Bees from Owner McConnell to the present magnate, Russ Ilumber. From the meager reports at hand, it appears that McConnell and Wattelet represented their outstanding debts at something like one-third their true proportions, and now, Humber finds himself facing tax of several thousand more than he originally figured. . Humber is in a decidedly belligerent mood, it is rumored, and although in about $12,000. hints at throwing up the sponge and letting the Bees go by the boards. McConnell and Wattelet are now in the Imperial Valley in Southern Cali fornia. Zacher, Moran, Middleton and Coy, two Oaks and two Senator outfielders, have begun the year auspiciously, field ing thus far without error. Speas has not yet Jarred the boot column, but he has been in only a few games. Early fielding statistics reveal that Art Kores is playing a wonderfully im proved game at third over what he did - at short. O'Leary, of the Seals, and Hetling. of the Oaks, are .the only torrid guardians that excel him. Davis at short ranks fifth. Young being below him. and Rodgers, of Port, land. 1s fourth among second sackers. Infield fielding statistics Including games of April 26 are as follows: Shortstops. Player, club O. Po, Johnson, L.

They say that the Shecks will have to be materially bolstered. The American Association, as a whole is much weaker than last year, owing to the raids by the Federal League, and the refusal or the majors to let loose on surplus material. A Portland Scotchman is in receipt of a letter from the old country which says the professionals there speak highly of Jerome Travers" golfing but seem to think that Ouimet lacks' the fine sharpness of stroke with the irons in his short game so necessary to gel perfect results.

DREW'S IRK EXAMINED COIRSB ON WHICH 100 DASH WAS MADE IN 9 3-3 IS OVER LENGTH. Certifiers! Find California!! Covered Seven-Eighths Inch of Keecless Ground Up Hill. SAN FRANCISCO. May 1. The No. 6 lane in the 100-yard straightaway course at the University of California, where, March 28. Howard Drew, of the University of Soutnern California, set a new world's record of 9 3-5 seconds, Is seven-eighths of an inch over dis tance and rises an inch and a quarter in the final 12 yards. The 120-yard strait straightaway, where. May 10, 1913, Fred Kelly. University of Soutn ern California, set a new world's rec ord of 15 seconds is 14 Inches over distance. Both records were formally certified today by officials of the Pa cific Association of the Amateur Ath letic Union and forwarded to New York. Certification was made today after William Unmack, chairman of the rec ords committee of the Pacific Associa tion, and David Brown, a member of the committee and official surveyor of the Pacific Association, surveyed both courses, and had a bad scare while they were at it. The pole lane of the 100-yard dis tance was found three inches short- "That smashes Drew's record," said an excited collegian. "It does, if the lane in which Drew ran is also short," said Unmack. Measurements showed the overage and the surveyor's transit showed up hill running in the final sprint. All stop watches used in timing Drew were examined and ail timers were questioned thoroughly today before cer tification of his record was made.

CRAFT MOVED BY CURRENT Lifesavers Get First Kest Since Called, After Being Summoned to Schooner on False Alarm and . Finding Crew Gone. FLORENCE, Or., May L (Special.) The schooner Hogan, ashore on a sand spit Inside the harbor entrance, has two cables from her bow across Siu slaw channel to the north Jetty and it is hoped that the tightening ' of the cables when the tide rises will pull her off. The current which started to move the vessel yesterday shifted her to a position between two jetties 75 yards inside the harbor entrance. J. H. Porter, of Porter Bros., has placed a man named Barney in charge of getting the vessel off. A gang of men was busy today throwing off lum ber into the river. The Yaquina lifesaving crew did not leave today owing to the heavy sea on the bar and the strong northwesf wind. Last night they got their first rest since being called to the Hogan. They retired at 1 o'clock, after having answered a false alarm brought to Florence by a launch that the crew of the Hogan needed them. The Umpqua lifesavers also were called. The two crews hoisted their cannon and beach apparatus 20 feet and placed it on a pushcar and started out in the darkness against a driving northwest wind. After going a quarter of a mile they were halted and fold that their call was a false alarm, as ail on board the Hogan had gone ashore in their own boat almost exhausted from exposure. Crewa Trudge Back. The lifesavers trudged back with out making a complaint. The lifesavers here are: Umpqua crew, Joe Henderson, captain; A. B. Peterson. Louis Outtring, Walter An derson, William Bishop, Lane Coffee, George Flonecker, Fred Schulty and Frank Varrelan. and the Yaquina Bay crew, Charles Stuart, captain; Surfmen Gust Asson, Beryl King, John Backus, Harry Coffin. Edwin Coffin and Rich ard Christensen. The Hogan mascot, a cat, was taken off today much against its will and put on board the Roscoe. The Elmore schooner Patsy tried to leave this afternoon but could not pass the cables from the Hogan. Captain Harry Valbush, master of the Patsy, told the wreckers that they must either slack the cable and let the Patsy pass or pay the owners of the Patsy for the time she loses staying in Florence. Mate Telia Experience. Second Mate Simon gave the follow inw account of what happened -aboard the Hogan: "We left in tow of the Roscoe, but a heavy southwest wind and the surf drove both towards shore so the Roscoe cut us loose to save herself. When water commenced com ing over the ship, which carjied- a deckload of lumber, I lashed two pil lows in the rigging and was going to lash my wife. The women were in the galley until the water was waist deep. We took them to the poopdeck and the water rose flush with us, but no higher. "We were glad to get off the boat last night, as it looked like we would drift up on the end of the South jetty and get drowned. "All we had to eat was two cups of coffee yesterday, everything being ruined by the water."

Four high-class films, any one of which alone would be an excellent at traction, were introduced to the pa trons of the Peoples Theater yesterday and will be continued on the bill today and tonight.

A blind artist plays an important part, both as an aid to the law in bringing a criminal to justice and as a lovemaker in winning the girl of his choice. "The Lion" is the subject of a thrill ng drama in which J.

His temper Is tamed through enforced hard work on a ranch and his girl finds him in time to convince him of her constancy.
