THE MORXIXG' OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. JAXTJAItY 20, 1915 . 18 UNION ASSOCIATION MEN TO GET TRIALS Blankenship Has Half Dozen Who May Crowd ex-Sacs Off of Mormon Team. FRANK HUELSMAN pN LIST "lied'' Toner Also to Get Chance to Come Back and Galena, Carman, Davis 'and Others Will Try for Regular Berths. . BI ROSCOB PAWCETT. When the Salt Lake club reports at San Jose for Spring training next month some ot the old Sacramento guard will have to do some tall hus tling: to win regular Jobs. Cliff Blan kenship has a half dozen promising holdovers from the Union Association and In the averages they look good. There's Frank Huelsman for one a former Northwest League outfielder. Huelsman, has been up In the Union Association ever since It was organ ized by William Lucas in 1911. and his grand batting average for the four years has been around .410. They call him the greatest batter in the world around Salt Lake, and so far as we know, Ty Cobb has never disputed It, so it must be so. In 1911 Huelsman batted .411 for great Falls in 135. games, knocked out 17 homers and stole 25 bases. In 1912 he pasted the spheriod for .422 in 122 games, amassed 22 circuit shots and stole 16 bases. Last year for Salt Lake his batting average was .426 in 69 games and he swiped 13 hassocks. Huelsman is not any jackrabbit in tire outfield, but they say he Is a better hitter than Zacher. Kyan or Van Buren and Just about as fast. Bed" Toner, the former Seal pitch er of not-hit. no-run fame, will also be given a chance to come back in AA company. Toner went to the Seals two years ago from Texas, but was only a flash in the pan and was turned over to Spokane. He wound up in the Union Association last Fall, won 13 and lst 10- . !y,0 Blankenship also proposes to give Outfielders Johnny Galena, Billy Da vis. Fred Carman and Cliff Marshall and First Baseman Herb Hester and Second Baseman Charley French a whack at regular berths. Carman hit .373 last year, Davis .S24. French .321. Hester .280, Galena IsJ9 and Marshall j270- Another candidate has been added to the training squad of the rot,! Coast champions, bringing the list up to -26 players. , . , The new recruit's name is Edwin. Hall. Marysville, Cal.. and he Is said to be some semi-pro shortstop. Hall la beosted strongly by Frank .Arel lanes. the Sacramento pitcher. Mack Instructed the Spaniard to sign the Hall's contract was received at ball headquarters yesterday. , Another signed parchment via R. F.

Coveleskie is wintering in me unpronounceable town in Fenn- ''Gus'F'lsher'and Walter Doane have received their contracts, but are mak ing no haste to sign. Walter McCredle says that In all his years managing the Portland team he h.s never traded a player for a dog. but he has had many a player dog it on him. . San Francisco's new outfielder, Ru dolph Baerwald. was the second best batsman In the Texas League last peason. Here's the dope on him. Plaver G. AB. R. H. SB. faH. Pet SSrw-Td 149 678 70 184 35 10 318 He Is described as a big fellow who bats right-handed and has a knack of hitting Into right field. Baerwald was Playing in the Imperial Valley Winter League when Hen Berry signed him. Happy Hogan had first chance at Baerwald. but spumed the Texan as ho already had a first-class outfield. Tr Harry Todd, former Beaver twirler. flashed a letter to Bill Rodgers yesterday in which Bill said the Rod-cera-Lober-Evans hunting party would not be back until February 1. This will not be good news to Bill James, who came all the way from San Fran cico to meet Rodgers January 17 for a bear hunt in Southern Oregon. Todd has written Rodgers to hasten, as he wants to go along. Mike McCprmack plugged along at his usual gait last year in the New Kngland League. Official averages show that the ex-Beaver tapped the pellet at a .245 clip. Greenwell, the big pitcher, who refused to report to Portland in 1912. won 16 games and lost six for New London. Barrenkamp, pitcher who tried out with Oakland, broke even. 12 and 12. for Pittsfield. Dave Fults is handling a case be fore the National commission in behalf of Louis Barbour.

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem. Or Jan, 19. (Special.) The inter class clash of basketball squads at Wil lamette will be held tomorrow instead of or Friday, as in the past, because the first team will need the floor for practice at that time in preparation for the second clash with the varsity men from the University of Oregon at Eugene.

This is the third series of class games played for the silver loving cup. The last series wlll .be piayea on January Boxing Briefs. It looks as though New York is go ing to develop a real welterweight champion in Johnny Wilson, of Harlem. Wilson, during the past two months, has defeated practically all the leading men in the East of his weight. His last victim was Young McCartmey, of Philadelphia. Assemblyman Maron, of San Fran cisco, has been delegated to introduce James Coffroth's constitutional amend ment seeking a revival of the boxing sport in California. - t r rrinmm-ir Hnrv nnowiB Wa11 'nerainst Ad Wolgast at Grand Rapids, Mich., the first week in neDruary, ne win u matched with Joe Shugrue or Leach Cross in New York. m A 10-round bout for the middle weight championship of West Virginia will be held at Charleston, January 30, between Pat Canepa, of Logan, W. Va., and Rene "Kid" Coney, of Charleston. Ex-Champion Heavyweight Tommy Burns is at New Orleans. He does not intend to re-enter the ring, but has several fighters he would like to get on at the New Orleans clubs. . ' It is the intention of Pete Fitzgerald, manager of Joe Shugrue, to force Fred die Welsh into a decision contest with Joe. Fitzgerald, to show -his sincerity in the matter, will post a J5000 forfeit with a prominent sporting man of New York, the money to go as a guarantee to make any weight Welsh may name, and a like amount will be posted as a side bet, providing .the contest is for 20 rounds or 'more. "Shugrue Is more entitled to the match with the champion than any other man in that division," says Fitz gerald, "and his victories over Welsh and White at the Garden are certainly enough evidence that he is the most formidable of the contenders." Young Saylor, through his manager, Ray Bronson, has closed a match with Leo Kelly for 12 rounds at St. Louis on January 26. Kelly is the idol of the St. Louis fight fans, and he is being touted for honors in the lightweight division. DrUUSUU H1S11 nktcjiicu a n-n tative date for a bout between Chick Hayes, the bantam, and Bobby Brandt before the SC Louis club. It Is prob able that Saylor also will take on Wil lie Beecher, the New York lightweight, for ten rounds two days before the St Louis fight. Bronson had been dicker ing with the Columbus authorities, and it was not until after he closed tne St. Louis deal that a telegram was received saving that Beecher had agreed to meet savior on jauunii Ad Wolgast Just can't make his fight insr powers behave. The ex-champion announces that he has not quit the game by a long shot, and is willing to battle some more. Mee!
