"The squad looks good." said Coach Bezdek when interviewed, "and though the men are a good deal lighter than those of a year ago, I think that they are faster and much more accurate at the basket. Altogether prospects are not so bad. and, barring injuries or sickness. Oregon should give a good account of itself in the coming race." Ulenn Wheeler, who had been slated for a regular position at guard, had an attack of the mumps during the vacation, and has been unable to Report for practice since.

Follansbee tha turf has lost another staunch sup porter. He was one of the strongest advocates of clean sport on the Amer ican racetracks, and. partially through his efforts, the game was kept alive, both in the Southern states and Juarez, for he spent time and money in car rying on effective missionary work. He min lovnl to the turf when others sailed away to Kurope. and now Amer ican racing will misa him in the days of prosperity about to be revived. The turf, by the way, has lost other cham pions in the late James R. Keene. W. C. Whitney. James B. Haggin. General Stephen Sanford and J. H.

AILMENT NOT REMEDIED Walter Agrees With Fielder in Re gard to Ability of rtah Capital to Hold Out Through Com ing Season of 1915. Walter McCredie agrees with Fielder .Tones about Salt Lake City as a Coast Le&cue uncertainty. He said yesterday that he did not think the league had remeaiea tne "weak Bister" ailment by adding the Utah City to the league, as it was doubtful if the club would manage to stick through the present season. Walter said that one of the strongest minor leagues in the country could be formed by Portland taking the sixth franchise in the Northwest League and withdrawing from the Coast League. This step, however, was not possible at present, he hastened to assure tnose present. a The crisis which now involves the financial affairs of Charles W. Somers will not affect the Cleveland Club di rectlv. at least not for the present. "The plan of the creditors taking over the collateral notes is simpiy a case of extending me a little more time in which to meet my obligations." said President Somers, recently, "and I will continue to act as president of the Naps. The club will discharge Its lia bilities as they arise, and will make a strong effort to give Cleveland fans a real team, one which will be in the race for the pennant from tne start, joe Birmingham will manage the team, and nothing will be done other than has been planned before."

WHITE SOX MAY GIVE FOUR Hi West and Three Others to Be on Pitching Staff McArdle, IIosp McDonnell and Leard in List to Be Released. . LOS ANGELES, Cal Jan. 6. (Spe rlal l That every member of the Ver non infield, every catcher and four of the 'pitchers will be new men when the 1915 Coast League season starts, was the statement made today by nappy Hogan, manager of the Tigers. Ho gan's statement means that Harry Mc Ardle. Francis Hosp, "Speed" Mc Donnell and BUI Leard will not be with the team next year. Efforts are being made to obtain another catcher to work with Mltae and Yantz. Elliot has gone and Jack Bliss and McLain are slated to follow. "I intend to have four new pitchers next season," said Hogan today. "Hi West is one of the men and I will get three more. I am satisfied with the outfield. I have two righthanded hitters in Risberg and Kane. Meloan, Bayliss, Carlisle and Wilhait are the lefthanders on the team. A couple of them will go. "1 will give the players' their out right releases so that they can make deals for themselves." - Hogan believis the White Sox will supply him with a second baseman, shortstop, a catcher and pitcher. He will go out into the market for the other players. Hogan also considers White for first base and Gus Hetling at third as new men. Altogether, he says, there will be -nearly to 10 new players when the team lines up next season. TIIAXKSGIVIN'G GAME IIKEIY Washington-Colorado Gridiron Clash Almost Certain. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle. Jan. 6. (Special.) That the University of Washington will meet the University of Colorado in the Thanksgiving football game in Seattle is from this end of the deal practically certain. Press dispatches from Denver recently show the favor with which the Washington proposal for extension of athletic field was received and It is likely that final settlement of contract will be soon. The apparently unreasonable de mands upon the Washington manage ment by other managers in the North west conference for games has made it practically imperative for Washing ton to look elsewhere. Dr. Stewart in a recent Jetter to manager Younger still maintains his position with respect to demanding from the Washington students 50 Tier cent of the student pass revenue for all games played here between Wash ington and the Oregon Agricultural College. These student tickets Dr. Stewart appraises at 75 cents a piece. Manager Younger says he cannot ac cept Dr. Stewart's proposal.
