RYAN, KRAUSE, WEST HIGH HI and Buddy Among: Big Salaried Men of Portland Team TVho May Be Seen in Pastures New. i 'Illg' Recommends Catcher. r BI ROSCOE FAWCETT. Walter "McCredie intends to live up to the new 5000 Coast League salary limit, but he isn't so sure about some other managers in the circuit. Away back in 1907 the Pacific Coast onfv UI24 0APte?,-a Balary mit It was only 12400 or 2500 but the way they broked,thok f6 ,nt WaU'8 hie oroke it off has soured the big Port land manager on salary limits forever more. - "I won the championship in 1906 " re remarked during his daily billiard Jfame at tne headquarters yesterday. nwi. iu iei a lot of my men go to ret down to the limit. I guess I was the only manager in the league who lived up to it." "Did you have a good team?" was asked. "Yes," replied Mack, "a good and rotten one." Figuring on only 18 men to each team, this year's salary limit of $5000 means an average of J275 per man. Big leaguers like Doc White, of Ven ice; Leifield and O'Leary. of the Seals; Hughes, of Los Angeles, and such men, doubtleS3 have been drawing around the 400 notch, and if these salaries are continued, somebody "will have to work for 50 to offset them. Leifield, it is known, was paid $500 per month by San Francisco last sea eon. Henry Berry has announced that Leifield will not be back in 1915, but how about Schmidt and Fanning? Both these stars received tempting Federal League offers close to $500 per month, and Berry must have shelled out $?50 or $400 contracts to them. The matter of keeping within the salary limitations will be up to Pres ident Baum, however, and that is Mc Credie's sole hope for a satisfactory solution of the problems confronting the various managers. "I am going to have Just as hard a Job pruning as any of them," declared Mack, "but we will be down." .Buddy Ryan, Harry Krause and Hi West are said to be the big-money men on the Portland club. West is slated for sale or trade and there have been hints that Buddy is to perform in other pastures next year and younger material installed in his stead. Irve Higginbotham has recommend ed a young Kansas Jayhawklng catch er to Portland. Mack has always been Btrong for recruits, but he is getting leary of these player contributions. Two years ago Ted Easterly sent up a tyke pitcher who could hardly throw the ball across the infield. Mack dis covered afterwards that Ted had bor rowed all the kid's money during the Wi -- U l - . ciio biiengLii oi a league tryout. Last Spring Tom Seaton sent a big cowboy to Santa Maria and he was the Joke of the camp Smith, his name was. The boys got so attached to him that they chipped in and bought him his railroad ticket back to Colo rado. Instead of going home, he stopped off at Salt Lake for a -tryout, but didn't last. - m m m Henry Berry's first official act in "canning" Manager Del Howard will not make a hit with the newspaper boys around the circuit. The former Cub was one of the finest gentlemen who ever stepped into a suit, and Berry will have to have something very choice up his sleeve to offset his loss. Tommy Tennant may not find things running so smoothly next Spring, for Cliff Blankenshlp is figuring on Hes ter as a first-base possibility. Hester is a grand fielder, but a trifle weak with the stick, 'tis said. Blankenshlp intends using Orr at short and Halli- nan as utility. Jimmy Shinn is the only outfielder who will stick and it is possible that Deacon Van Buren may te kept for utility purposes. V San Francisco Is not grieving over - the severing of the Seal-Spokane alli ance. The foeals sent Hartley, Noyes McCorry. Lowell. Hoiran. Arlett. Wae- ner, Davis, Douglass and McCari to Spokane, and the best they drew in exchange was W alter Cartwright, util ity inflelder. Spokane sent down Paul Strand, but he was green and was sent back. Wuffll and Zimmerman were others to be given a trial only to wilt by the roadside. Douglass and Wag Tier will be with Cincinnati next year, Strand with the Boston worlds cham plons and Noyes had a good trial with Boston, so that Spokane has profited Very nicely by the arrangement. Walt McCredie turned Harvey Suth erland over to Spokane a few days ago, but he retained an option on his cervices. V - There is some talk in San Francisco about Jimmy Johnston coming back from the Chicago Cubs. Bresnahan in tends selling 18 of the present Cub staff and, as Johnston didn't bat worth a nickel last season, it is altogether reasonable to expect his name in the list. Spokane ha been given permission to sign Lang Akana, the Chinese-Ha walian outfielder released by Portland, but unless Farr has something wrong with his head he will not attempt to spend $175 transportation bringing a busher that distance for a tryout. HAMPIOX ATIILETK SCORED Piatt Adams, Famous , Jumper, Charged With Receiving Money. NEW YORK, Dec. 30. The New Tork Evening Mail publishes today two af fidavits which charge that Piatt Ad ams, champion amateur athlete and all round jumper, has pledged and received money for some of his prizes won at amateur meets. Under the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union, this, if true. would change Adams' status to that of a professional. In one of the affidavits, T. I. Glynn wears that on January 9, 1914. Adams sold him (Glynn) one of his prizes. gold ring with a small diamond in it. For this, Glynn says he paid $S. Dur lng the Fall of 1912. and up to March, 1914, Glynn further swears he fre fluently accompanied Adams to a down town Jeweler, where in his presence the Jeweler would accept Adams prizes, which I understood to be credited to Adams' account." Peter Lawrence Schenck, In the sec ond affidavit, asserts that he bought a ring from Adams which Adams said was a first prize. Schenck further mCRED states that Adams had in his (Schenck's) place of business at vari ous times numbers of medals and cups which be said he was going to take to a certain Jeweler. In 1912 Adams and his brother Ben were members of the American team which was sent to Sweden to compete in the Olympic games. Last year's rec ords show that Adams holds the rec ord for the standing- high Jump of five feet 4 inches. Piatt Adams, at his home in Newark, N. J., denied the charges contained In the affidavits. "As far as, any charges go that I have sold any of. my prizes," he said, "they are entirely without foundation. I have every one of my prizes in my possession and can and will produce them if called upon." , Adams said he had sold a number of rings, but that they were rings pur chased with his own money and not won in competition.

The contest was by far the most excit ing yet played in the Portland Ama teur Hockey League, although the score was the largest yet registered. Very little individual work was done on either side, each aggregation rely ing on its teamwork to help it along. The score at the end of the first half stood 4 to 0, but at the opening of the second period Forbes shot one past Goaltender Herman for the first and only score made by Waverly Country Club. The high point-scorer of the evening was Uksila, who registered 5 points for Multnomah, one in the first canto and the other in the last period. The only penalties called so far in the league were made last night when Referee Mc Donald sent Kearns and Uksila, of Multnomah, and Miller, of the humbled seven, from the ice for rough work. While swinging his club Uksila ac cidentally struck his teammate, Dietz, in the cheek and three stitches were required before the wound could be closed. Only one change was made in the winners' lineup, Amey replacing Smith in the second frame. Manager Webster, of the blue-sweat- ered contingent, had Peterson and Wil der as relief men and they substituted for the players at various times throughout the contest. The next match of the Amateur League will be played next Thursday between Harrl man Club and the Rowing Club. Multnomah Club now heads the league with two wins and no defeats and the Waverlies are in the cellar with two setbacks in as many starts. The game was witnessed by more than 500 enthusiasts.

WOLVERTON IS HEW MANAGER OF SEALS Berry Signs Three-Year Con tract With Sacramento Boss for His Club. FABULOUS SALARY GIVEN Threatened Trouble Ended and Baseball Relations Cased by Choice Selection of Players Kept In Appointee's Hands. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 30. (Special.) Harry Wolverton, a four-time mana ger of Coast League baseball clubs, twice with Oakland and as many more with Sacramento, has been named by Henry Berry as manager of the San Francisco Seals. The deal was closed late tonight and when the conference was ended Wol verton had in his pocket a three-year contract which . gives him absolute Harry Wolverton. Recalled to Coast LKie to Manage the Seals. control of the destinies of the local baseball club. Berry, while saying that he did not care to go into figures, announced confidentially that Wolver ton will receive the largest salary ever paid to a manager in the history of the Coasters. Most important of all, perhaps, in this baseball transaction is the significant fact that with the signing of Harry Wolverton as the local manager, all vestige of the threatened legal fight over the forfeiture of the Sacramento franchise and the possession of the Sacramento baseball players has disap peared. The announcement of the naming of Wolverton as the new leader of the Seal3 came as a complete surprise, for it was thought the feeling between the owners of the Sacramento club and the Coasters was altogether too bitter to permit of a reconciliation. Berry, how ever, has been working with that end in view and finally has accomplished his purpose. First of all he has ob tained for the Seals a fighting manager. Secondly. Berry feels that Wolverton's appointment obliterated the bad feel ing that existed and what he has done will go a long way toward clearing the situation for a prosperous season in 1915. Berry adds that the responsibility of naming the new team will rest on Wolverton. who will not be interfered with in the slightest degree.

Princeton de feated Cornell at ice hockey, 4 to 1, here last night in the first intercol legiate game of the season. Sidelights and Satire By Roscm Faweett. WJ. TRAVIS, thrice American amateur golf champion, was asked for his opinion' on the pasture game a few days ago. Said he: "To day, on the threshold of 53, I am almost as good as new. Thanks to golf, I can take divots as well as in "96. Without golf there would have been one over me ere this. "Divot (dlv-ut). n. A thin, oblong turf used for covering cottages and also for fuel. Now that Walter Johnson has re nounced the Federals, it is universally conceded that he is a great pitcher, but until Rube Marquard's case is settled we will have to remain in doubt as to whether he will ever amount to much, Miss Vivian Marshall, the Portland swimmer, is doing a turn at the Pan tages in Spokane. She telle this one: "We were putting on a swimming meet for local girls in Winnipeg a few weeks ago. Just as we are here this week," said she, "and the manager of the theater had offered cups and cash prizes, the cups for those who wished to keep their amateur standing and $7. 50 cash for those who did not care about it. One girl was called before the audience and asked to make her choice. She looked the cup over care fully and then looked at the 17.50 in the manager's hand. " 'Say,' she said, 'my name is Becky Rosenbaum. Vich did you t'lnk I'd choose? "Quit your kidding.

"Every few hours for the next three days Tommy thought they must be at San Francisco sure. Finally when the train did pull in at the Oakland pier, the Briton mopped his feverish brow and inquired in a forlorn voice: " 'Hi say, there, my good man. who did you say discovered Hamerica?

If President Blewett does not grab Perle while the grabbing la good he will be making a sad mistake.

Chief Bender's arm is gone, accord ing to organized baseball. Tes. in deed, gone to the Federals. When Jack Johnson was knocking around the training camps in San Fran cisco trying to pick up a dollar now and then as a bag mender, sparring partner or anything that happened along, he was always trying to see the regular fights. Eddie Hanlon had boxed a few four-rounders and he, too, was anxious to see how the regulars performed. Some big fight was on. Old Sam Pruitt. the darkey who used to do the watch man act for Coffroth. was preparing the house for the show. It was about 6 o'clock and the lights weren't on yet. Old Sam heard a racket inside the arena. He lit a lantern and started out on a hunt for the rumpus. All over the building he hunted, under seats, over rafters, behind posts, when finally he heard a snicker under the ring. He tiptoed to the edge of the big roped platform and lifted the drapery that hid the underpinning. Sam bent down and held the light to see what he could see. He looked intently for some mo ments and then he said. "Come on out of dere. you cute 111 Eddie Hanlon and you big black Jack Johnson. Ah knows yo by yo' gold teef." Johnson and Hanlon had jimmied their way through a window on the roof and were hiding until the crowd appeared. SHUGRUE STOCK UP Getting Best of White Puts New Jerseyite to Front. AUSTRALIA TRIP BENEFITS With Championship Feather In Cap New York Finally Admits Jo . Looks Good and Now Can See Him Without Iilght. Boxing fans have not vet recovered from the surprise package handed the boxing world when "young" Joe Shugrue. the Jersey City lightweight. scored an easy victory over Charley White, "the sensational Chicago light weight," Tuesday evening in New York. The bout was a ten-round, no decision affair, but Shugrue was awarded seven of the ten rounds by the newspapers. It appears now as if the Jersey City boy will be the one to relieve Fred die Welsh of his title. He is credited with a "no-decision victory" over the British champ and now also holds a victory over White, who also wal loped Freddie. In tackling the Jerseyite, Welsh made a grave mistake. At the time of the battle Shugrue was practically considered among the third-raters, and Freddie, who is not taking any chances with that precious crown of his, espe cially after being shown up in the Mil waukee bout by White, was. taking on a lot of dubs that he could handle with ease. He looked over Shugrue's past endeavors and decided to take a chance. The results of that bout boosted "Young" Joe's stock considerably and was responsible for the White bout. Now the Jersey City boy has proved that he is first in the line of cham pionship contendere, and Welsh will be forced into a match with him for the championship before long. Public sentiment is growing strong against reddle ana he soon will have to ae fend his title where decisions are al lowed, and when that time comss Shugrue will be his opponent. Before his recent sojourn to the land of the kangaroo and large hippodromes, Shugrue couldn't be seen by New York promoters with a searchlight on a dark and stormy night. He made several at tempts to secure a bout in the "big town," but was told to hie himself back to the bushes and make a "rep' for himself. Shugrue received an offer of a trip to Australia and took a Jaunt to the Antipodes. Even on the island he was no world-beater, but managed to annex two out of four fights. One of Shugrue's victories was over Herb Mc Coy and brought him the lightweight championship of Australia. With this feather In his cap, Joe sailed for home. He met Walter Mohr in a ten-round, no-decision contest, and then, on December 2, he hooked up with Welsh and gave him an artistic trim ming. The 1914 record of the cham pion and his two principal contenders reads as follows: Freddie Welsh. Jan. 1 Johnny rundee, N. Orleans No Da. 10 Jan. 6 Frank wnnoey, Atlanta w lu Jan. 10 Sam Robideau.
