Manager McCredie yester day dimmed of his star slugger, ltyan wna traded even up to Salt Lake City for Hoy Moran. centerf ielder on th SLi,Tm-iit team for the past two years. "I think I strengthened myself im mensely." said the Heaver boss, ex plaining his reasons for tho trade.

"Buddy h.is a lot of good ball in him vet. but he in not the type I desire. I want (Deed on my team next year. Also I need a right-handed batter be cause 1 have too many left-handers for a well-balanced club. Moran has been enrolled in the ranks of the professional diamond sport since irtrt. He broke in with V lnrennes the Kitty League. Itoy remained there until the Soring of 1907. when he trans ferrcd his affections to Jacksonville, of the Central Association. That season wan a successful one for Roy. He was drafted by Atlanta, of the Southern league, and remained at Atlanta until mid-season of 1911, when shunted over : to Chattanooga. ; 'Washington requisitioned his serv ' Ices near the close of 1913. but pre sumably ho needed development, be cause Griffith sold him to Sacramento in the Spring of 1913. along with "lord" Kenworthy. Here is his record for the past four years: 1911. Atlanta-Chattanooga Games 136. at bat 489. runs 65, hits 117, stolen liases 34. batting .243, fielding .963. 1912.

Sacramento Games 160. at bat (61. runs 64, hits 146, stolen bases 37. batting .260, fielding .9j1. Buddy Ryan's record last year was ti follows: 1914. Tortland Games 150. at bat S30. runs 52. hits 156. stolen bases 19. batting .294. fielding .965. You can rrove anything you want to prove by figures, but the above sta tistics would appear to give Moran all the edge on speed and Ryan the batting superiority. Unquestionably Moran has it all over Buddy in speed, and this is further forcibly indicated by the field ing record a. ln 150 games In center field Moran got his mitts on 427 chances. Buddy, in 10 more games, handled 80 fewer op portunities. However. Buddy's hitting is a valu able factor and if his injured knee rounds Into shape the famous slugger ought to help the Mormons. With the exception of two years " 1912 and 1913. at Cleveland Buddy has spent most of his baseball career in Portland. He said last night that he was sorry to leave Portland, but was clad to remain in the Pacific Coast Leairuc. Moran is 28 years old. weighs 155 pounds and stands 5 feet 8 inches. Ryan Is 30 years old, 170 pounds and 5 feet 9 Inches tall. R. K. Wicker, the new manager of the Spokane Indians, will be among-J friends when he comes out to the Northwest this Spring. Away back in 1899 Wicker used to pitch for Dayton In the old Interstate League and Wal ter McCredie was in the same league with Toungstown. Now Wicker will bavo the pleasure of handling a lot of Mack's near-ripe playing talent. i ft "si Photo by K. K. Ogasawara.

It's an even bet that you fellows who got a pound of P. A. in the crystal glass humidor are finding that it's harder to keep than New Year s resolutions.

Bickley Burns, pastor of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, Forty-eighth street and Baltimore avenue, and the Rev. Dr. P. C. Wright, pastor of Geth semane Baptist Church, Eighteenth street and Columbia avenue, during sermons delivered yesterday, took issue with Charles W. Eliot, president emeri tus of Harvard, who recently asserted that the Christian Church adhered so closely to dogma that it had become impotent. The Rev. Dr. Wright said: "Dr. Eliot does not understand the mean ing of Christianity and is like other men who, becoming self-centered, have questioned the power of Christ. The Bible that he treats so lightly contains a wonderful message to humanity and reveals the character of him whom we should follow. If the Bible were banished and Calvary, with Its wonder, ful lesson, destroyed, this country in three generations would fall like Rome." The Rev. G. Bickley Burns said: "Charles W. Eliot, who is supporting Unitarianism, said the 'church was im potent in Germany, where tho seeds of the present world war were sown. President Eliot did not take Into ac count that the orthodox churches have outgrown the dogmas and doctrines of 100 years ago, and that the church has kept pace with modern thought and action. Germany Is the birthplaoe of this so-called liberalism of religious thought that Mr. Eliot speaks of. and that no doubt Is what made the ortho dox church impotent in Germany."

Tom McCarey hadn"t been in New Orleans four hours before he consented to be interviewed and this is how he ladeled it out: "Already 1 have come to love your city.

When Portland quit the Northwest League in the Fall of 1909 the B circuit magnates had to equalize their circuit, so they up and gave Aberdeen the hook and now Aberdeen is rais ing more money for a franchise in the league. That burg certainly is a bear for punishment. I "If I can land one addition I will win the pennant this year." said Pop Dillion. when informed of his reap pointment to manage Los Angeles.
