' BY BOSCOE FAWCETT.
Portland added to its flock of Coast
League pitchers yesterday by the ac
quisition of Stanley Coveleskie. star
' righthander of the Spokane club of the
Northwestern League last year.
Walter McCredie is to give five play-

Spokane is anxious to obtain Pitcher
Katley. but McCredlo will take Last
ley to camp and may use him in a deal
with another Eastern club.
The new Beaver is a member of the
famous Coveleskie family of diamond
Mars and has been with Spokane two
years.
In 1912 he starred at Atlantic City,
In the Tri-State League, in the same
club with Lou Stanley. Stanley led the
league with 23 victories and 7 defeats
. . and Coveleskie ranked close behind
with 20 victories and 13 losses.
Connie Mark Crabs Pitcher. '
Connie Mack grabbed him and sent
him to Spokane in the deal involving
Byron Houck, who was purchased by
Mack from the Spokane Indians. In

Walter McCredie. "I think Coveleskie

tried out with us last Fall, but was
too scared to have control."
Portland's pitching staff now shows
a raft of dependable flingers. among
whom are hike moot dam. uoveiesKie,
Rieger. Ess tie y and Martinonl and
Southpaws Lush, Krause. Callahan and
Evans. Bishop and Barnes are two
righthand recruits, the former being a
Cleveland protege.
Out of this regiment Mack ought to
be able to devise a formidable hurling
crew.

ARTHUR THROOP, FORWARD ON PORTLAND HOCKEY TEAM.
No Portland Coast contracts will be
. deposited in the mail chute until
training camp site is definitely decided
upon. So said President McCredie yes
terday.
"I want to get It all over with in one
letter." he explained. "I will simply
say: 'Dear sir Enclosed find your 1915
contract, j'lease sign anu return to
me. If it is here by such and such a
date I will wire transportation to you
at your depot. Report March 1 at .
With best regards, very truly, W. W.
McCredie." "
Perle Casey used to show up at
Spring camp every year without hav-
' tng signed a contract. In fact, the
popular Perle played for several years
without the formality of signing a
contract parchment until forced to do
so by a National commission ruling.
"We never had any trouble with
Perle." added Judge McCredie. "But
hereafter all Portland players must be
signed before they report to the Spring
camp. Either that or they pay their
own carfare. Ivan Olson used to worry
Walter terribly every Spring when he
was out here and that is one reason
why I have established this no-signing,
no-carfare system."
Happy ilogan has succumbed to the
Jtpllday spirit. Map recently came out
with a straight, two-fisted boost for
Pop Dillon and now it Is Walter Mc
Credie who Is hung with a washtub
halo. Listen:
"We've got to hand it to McCredie.
He's a great manager. Some say he
la lucky. He may be. but there is
something more back of his success.
Nobody, not even McCredie, figures to
be lucky all the time.
"Luck may win bail games occasion
ally, but it won't win pennant after
pennant. '
"One of the real secrets of McCredle's
success. I think, is to be found in the
fact that he has an absolutely free rein
in conducting the club. His position Is
different from that of the average man
ager in that he shares in the profits of
the club instead of working on a
straight salary.
"Mac runs the club as though he
owned it. Judge McCredie. in whom the
ownership of the franchise is vested,
has given Walter full power. The
judge does not concern himself beyond
counting up the receipts at the end of
the season.
"In other matters. Mac's power Is ab
solute. He is situated In this respect
similarly to Connie Mack. He hires
and fires as he sees fit. and his judg
ment is never questioned. The players
realize that there is no appeal from his
decision In any matter affecting the
conduct of the club, and as a result he
Is able to enforce a high degree of
discipline.
"Show me any manager who is ab
solutely untrammeled In running his
club and I will show you a successful
manager."

MEN SAVED FOR BATTLES
Extra-Inning Game Flayed and Near
' ness of Two Struggles Makes It
Necessary to Avoid Strain,
Says Portland Leader.
Because of the severe strain attend
ing Tuesday's extra-inning hockey
game. Manager Muldoon yesterday re
fused to permit two of his stars to offi
ciate in last night's league contest, at
Vancouver between the Millionaires
and the Victoria septet.
"President Patrick notified me yes
terday of the appointment of Oatman
and McDonald as officials." explained
Muldoon last night. "Officiating is a
severe mental strain on a player, how
ever, and because of the hard battle
earlier in the week I did not think it
wise to permit them to appear. We are
crippled enough now, with Johnson and
Harris on the side lines for a few days
with bad ribs and a fractured nose.
"We play Tuesday at Victoria and
Friday at Vancouver, so the Uncle Sams
need all the reserve strengtn tney can
muster."
Muldoon sava one of the toughest
extra time games he ever witnessed
was played last year between New
Westminster and Victoria, the rourtn
period going 38 minutes before the
Westminsters were humbled.
It was nip and tuck 98 minutes of
whirlwind skating and some of us
didn't know what we were doing at the
finish," remarked Point Tobin yester
day. "I carried Ran McDonald up
flle-ht of sta rs after It was an over,
but I didn't know it until next day,
when the boys told me.'
Art Throorj. the clever forward on
the Uncle Sams, was Just convalescing
from a broken collar bone at tne time
and was unable to finish' the terrific
contest.
Ever hear of a hockey game played
on blocks of ice?" remarked Art Tnroop
Well when I was nlaymg in the Fltts-
hnrir Cltv League, back about 1907, we
staged an exhibition game at Columbus
to see if the sport wouldn't go mere.
As there was no artificial Ice in Co
lumbus, blocks of ice were laid in a
roller rink and water sprinkled over
the toDS so as to give it a smootn
coatinsr.
"So far, so good, but, the day we ar
rlviwl there it began to thaw and by
game time all the natural ice had melt
ed off the top and we naa to piay on
Ice chunks that jutted up like coDDie
tone in an oW London alleyway.
I think that was the worst game i
ever weathered." ,
Thrnnn. hv the way. expected to go
back to his nickel mines in eastern
Ontario as soon as the hockey season
is ended here in March. He is reputed
to own "properties, v-alued at from $40,
000 to $50,000.
"I like Portland." he continued, ana
am sure that hockey will take well
here. It is a great game ana inis is
one of the Hvest cities I nave ever peen
stationed in."
In the last contests of the National
Hockey Association, Quebec, Ottawa
and Toronto won their games. Quebec

IT ISN'T often that a man becomes a
star athlete against his wishes, but
"Prunes" Moore, of Oregon Agricultural
College, became a guard on the myth
ical All-Conference team in that way.
"Prunes" had played guard for Ore
gon Agricultural College for three sea
sons and was never inclined to put
more effort into his play than neces
sary to hold down the position. But
early this season in one of these broth
erly scrimmages between varsity and
scrubs someone bumped Prunes on the
nose. Momentarily losing his temper
he accused Cole, the husky discus-
thrower from Kansas, of slugging him.
As everyone knows. Cole is one of
those gentle "laugh and grow fat" in
dividuals who would never even think
of doing such a deed. It hurt his pride
and instantly the worm turned and be
came a Kansas cyclone. He tore Into
"Prunes" with such energy that "Doc,"
quick to take advantage of anything
that would improve "Prunes' " fighting
spirit, taunted him about letting Cole
push him off the rieio. xnen tne con
test became a. battle royal and night
after night "Doc" pitted these two
against each other with the result that
"Prunes" got the habit and played the
same style of game against opponents
as against Cole.
We know that Vie fur flew, for
"Prunes" outplayed all rivals and be
came the choice for All-Northwestern
guard. Do you suppose he regrets his
loss of temper?

Upon reading of "Pol" Perritt's mis
take in shooting a guide for a deer in
the Southern California mountains, a
Chicago writer advised Ping Bodie to
keep out of the woods.
George Fitch once said that the Tea
son for the popularity of deer hunting
was the love of adventure. The deer
does not leap upon the hunter, to be
sure, but it gets its revenge by mak
ing the hunter carry it 25 miles through
thick underbrush. The adventure
comes in dodging other hunters. There
is no keener disappointment in hunting
than to shoot straight through the
pilot-house of a large buck and then to
find upon rushing to the spot that said
deer is only a guide or fat business
man from Scappoose. The one strange
and unusual feature of the Perritt trag
edy is that Perritt is not a southpaw.
The old-time teams weren't so much.
Six Of the 1900 Brooklyns afterwards
became major league managers and
Bix were minor league bosses, but the
last year Patsy O'Rourke managed Sac
ramento there were 21 managers, in
cluding Charley Graham.
Walt McCredie says he refused to go
hunting with Irve Higginbotham last
Fall because he was afraid some squir
rel hunter might shoot at Hig and hit
Walter.
It begins to look as if Larry Lajoie
will have to work this year. Had not

Ex-President Taft has kicked the

and a movement be made at the instant

It has just leaked out why Jack
Curley is framing the Willard-Johnson
fight for Juarez. The Southwestern
Cattlemen's Association, 5000 or 6000
strong, holds its annual meeting in
Juarez fight week.
"At the time I ran the Wolgast and
Ritchie fight I reproduced on my half-
sheet posters facsimiles of the tickets
to be used for the fight," Jim Coffroth
recently told a group of friends. "This
was to protect my patrons against fake
tickets. These reproductions were
three or four times larger than a real
ticket and were printed on cardboard.
Well, to prove that Barnum was right,
will you believe me when I tell you
that some fellow went around and col
lected a lot of those cards, cut out the
ticket reproductions neatly and sold
them outside the arena at $2 a smash?
We had an awful time trying to con
vince these people that they had been
bunked." Exchange.
Emil Thlery. who manages Packey
McFarland, went to London just before
the Ritchie-Welsh fight. He was in
vited to spend the week-end with a rich
English sporting man, who had a fine
country home and a big shooting pre
serve. Emil was shown about the es
tate and then through the mansion,
room by room. The Britisher finally
brought up in an imposing sleeping
chamber which contained a giant four
poster bed.
"Here's where the great Nelson re
posed one night," said the host to

Thiery sunk his fist into the downy

"The Blindness of Virtue"
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8. (Special.)
Oakland has the distinction of being
the first Pacific Coast League club to
send out its 1915 contracts. They were
mailed today by Secretary H. S. Mc
Farlin. after a conference with Man
ager Tyler Christian. The papers have
been forwarded to the known addresses
of all the balltossers who have not al
ready signed. ,
Six players, Arbogast, Price, Abies,
Bromley, Daniels and Boyd, have signed,
and Christian has come to terms with
five of the other men. They are Kla
witter, Pruiett, Ness, Middleton and
Litschl.
Bud Sharpe, for the first time since
he left the Oaks as manager, has been
taken off the list, and will receive an
unconditional release. When Sharpe
returned to the south he was still held
on the reserve list of the Oaks. This
year it was decided to make him a free
ag"ent. Christian explains that, although
Sharpe has not made any request, the
Oakland club feels if he has a chance
to manage some other team he should
be in a position to accept.
A contract has been lorwarded to
John Tiedemann, although it is hardly
expected that he will report for duty.
The contracts are said to call for
about the same money as last season.
There is one slight raise but no. cuts,
according to Christian, where the club
expects to retain the players. This
might be taken as a notice to those
ballplayers whose salaries are cut that
the club isn t anxious to hold them.

Some sav Cowler is 26 or 27 years
old, but this he flatly denies.
Cowler Telia About Himself,
I was born March 2, 1892," said he
yesterday, "but I always have a hard
time convincing people of my right age.
I will be 23 years old in March. In 1910
I was working on my father's farm in
Cumberland County, England, and had
never had a fight In my life. I made my
debut at White Avon wnen 18 years
old, knocking out a local idol.
The fight manual shows his Moran
bout to have been staged in 1911, but
he says it was 1912. Anyway, after a
year of near-starvation in and around
London, Cowler says he saved up
enough money to get to British Colum
bia, where he ran into more hard times.
