TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, JANUARY S3. 1915. 14 BALL PLAYERS NEAR DROP OVER FALLS Rodgers, Mrs. Rodgers, Son, Mrs. Evans and Buddy Ryan Have Close Call. RODGERS' LUCK TO RESCUE Thrilling Escapade by Xigtat Teaches lesson When Good-byes Xearly Were Said Before Expected Death Motor Saves Party. How would you like to be dumped over Celilo Falls in a rnotorboat with a 25 or 30-foot drop and ten miles of seething whirlpool and jagged rocka as a reception committee? Bill Rodeers, Coast ball star, who goes to Cleveland; Mrs. Rodgers and on. Mrs. Evan Evans, wife of the Port land southpaw, and Buddy Ryan came within an ace of riding over the falls during the Rodgers - Evans - Lober " Ryan hunting expedition on the Upper Columbia. With their engine deadened, they drifted to within 200 yards of the brink, when riodgers started it sput tering again. Had the three-and-one- half-horse motor bucked a trifle there would have been a couple of ballplay ers missing. Buddy Retnrns First. rtuddy Ryan returned ahead of the others a fortnight ago. dui jo couldn't pry anything out of Buddy about the escapade. In the meantime "Walt McCredie traded Ryan to Salt Lke City for Roy Moran, and yester day, when Buddy signed his Salt Lake contract, he told how close Cliff Blan kenship came to buying a dead one. Rodgers, lober and Evans and the others in the party will be back in Portland Monday or Tuesday. Ryan says he would not repeat the rnotorboat trip from Portland to "Jack rabbit Camp" about 100 miles up the Columbia for 8 10.000. Here are his own words for it: "We left Portland about November 15 in two small motorboats. Rodgers" boat was equipped with an outside three-and-one-half-power motor and our boat had an eight. After nearly a week we finally got as far as Washou Kal. about 20 miles upstream. Our motors were working fairly well, but Evans tried to fix the spark plug in our engine and it never worked afterwards. Rodgers lilts Roek, "Rodgers ran onto the first rock near Washougal and we laid up there four days for repairB. Finally we got Charles Smith to tow us up to Hood River with his big gas boat. We ran the ten miles from Hood Kiver i Dalles under our own power and it took us three days.

I never slaved so hard in my life. The boats had to be drawn out of the water, and we packed railroad ties and rollers for two solid days. Finally we sot the boats around the ten miles of whirl pool and rapids and tried to resume the trip. Right off the Jump Evan Kvans steered into a rock and bent his propeller rod so that it resembled a pretzel. It wouldn't revolve and. of course, we had to pull the boat out again, remove the rod and take It across the Columbia to Fallbrldge. on the Washington side. In so doing we almost said our good-byes down Celilo Falls There . . n innkn the trip were too many - - - In the one boat, so Evans and Leber piled into a rowboat we borrowed and we towed them across behind Rodgers little rnotorboat. Rctira Trip Started. We reached the other side in safety and just at nightfall begun the re turn trip, with no thought of danger vet we could hear the roaring and thundering of Celilo Falls, only 300 yards down stream. Well, we started, Rodgers at the en gine and yours truly at the wheel. Kvans andy Lober threw us the line from a rowboat as we pulled out from shore, but the line missed us. Of course, both of them hollered. Bill Rodgers immediately shut off the en gine instead of circling around and picking them up again. -By this time we were 200 feet out in the stream and when Bill cut his power we began drifting at a terrific V.tol toward the falls. Mrs. Evans ,.,-reamed and tried to Jump out and 1 yelled at Bill to get his engine go ing Luck was with us some of Bill Rodgers' usual luck. Nearly always It would take a half hour of fussing to start that motor of his. but this time he gave it one little spin and away it began to pop. "If anyone ever asks me for an opin ion on the sweetest music in the world j wni refer them to that little motor on the brink of Celilo Falls on the Columbia. I don't think anybody has ever gone over Celilo Falls and lived to tell the tale. After it was all over and we began to realize the serious ness of the situation we made a rule that there was to be no traveling at night. ' Evans Nearly Gets Wet. "Flnallv. we got back to the crippled boat with the straightened propeller, replaced It. and Evans and Lober slept in the boat that night. Evans forgot to replace the packing around the rod. however, and when he awoke in the morning the water was within two Inches of his body. The bedding and the mattress were soaked and in an other hour the boat would have been at the bottom. "Captain Ladd towed us from this point to within a few miles of this side of Arlington and then we all got hung up In the swift John Day rapids. We waited there on an island several days for Captain Winslow. of the Til 1k urn. to give us a lift and finally tied up at Uackrabbit Camp" for the Win ter. "It took us over a month to get there and it will be many a month before 1 will go back. I received a letter from Rodgers today and he says they will return to Portland in a day or two. The party has trapped CO muskrats, one coon, one coyote and a few mink. The boats will have to be abandoned, al though we may save the engine Buddy appeared well satisfied with the contract tendered htm by Cliff Blankenship and he looks for a good year with the Mormons. McCredie Signs Pat Callahan. CFNTRAI.IA. Wash.. Jan. S2. (Spe cial.) Pat Callahan, the Lewis County boy who pitched for the Portland and ta!lard Northwest League clubs for several seasons, has received a 1915 contract from the Portland Coast league club, with orders to report in. California March 4. Callahan made an enviable record in the Northwest league and his friends are confident he will perform Just as well in the Class A League. UNIVERSITY Oj?. OREGON. Eugene. Jan. 22. (Special.) The Oregon team romped through Its final practice ses sion this afternoon, prior to the game with Willamette University, In the Oregon gymnasium tomorrow night. Bezdek threw open the doors and per mitted the followers of basketball to get a peep at the Lemon-Yellow five. "The practice was the oest that the Oregon team has had this week," said Coach Bezdek. "Looks like the old fight Is back, for I hear 'em singing under the showers." Dudley will start the game at cen ter. Sharp, with Skeeter BtgDee, win open up in the forward position ana Boylen and Lyle Bigbee are slated to appear as the first guard selections. Although Skeeter Bigbee has been handicapped by a bruised foot since the game in Salem a week ago, he In tends to start in the battle. Morton, his freshman substitute, may have a chance, however, to work before the contest ends. Bovlen has been selected to open hos tilities because in better condition than Wheeler, who has been able to practice for only a few days after an attack ol the mumps. Boylen and Wheeler arc putting up a pretty scrap for the regu lar berth. Both have had some varsity experience. A good crowd is expected to turn out for the game, as it will be the last time Oregon will be seen In action here un til after the team returns from its trip to Washington and Idaho. Bill Hayward is to be the referee. SALT LAKE SEEKS 8 MAJORS Blankenship Starts East Today to Try to Close Deals. SALT LAKE CITT. Utah, Jan. 22. (Special.) Cliff Blankenship. manager of the Salt Lake Pacific Coast League club, will leave for the East tomor row afternoon. He will visit St. Louis. Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington and New York to"'taTk with the major league managers"in efforts to procure strengthening material for his team. Blankenship has been in communication with Rowland. Mack, Griffith and Donovan and has a line on eight play ers, who, he said, probably will be brought here. Blankenship occupied himself with office work today and mailed out con tracts to the players he has acquired. The board of directors is divided over the park question. A committee, composed of Lawrence Green, Rev. El mer I. Goshen and M. R. Evans, fa vors one site and the remaining four directors favor another location. Pres ident F. S.

' Speaking of the wily redman causes us to think or the Carlisle iooioau eleven. Last season they dropped seven out of 11 games, and as a consequence are having no trouble at. all in schedul ing games this season. ... The two Jims Jeffries and Flynn are to coach Jess Willard for his bout with Johnson. It .would, indeed, be a sad blow to the white race should the big cinder catch them in the act and whip all three. Perhaps it would add to the dignity of the game to speak of .300 hitters as prominent clubmen. . It begins to look as though nothing but a 20-round contest In Louisiana will settle this middleweight dispute between Jimmy Clabby and Mike Gib bons. Mike had a slight edge over James at Milwaukee Thursday night. but 10 rounds was not long enough to settle the question. Also the Gibbons-Clabby contest shows the inadequacy of the no-decision law in effect in Wisconsin and New York. There should be a decision rendered after every bout. This would do away with a lot of stalling on the part of two evenly matched boys, both of whom know the result will go down as a no decision affair in the record book, no matter which-, way the newspapers give it. Which serves to call attention to the bills Introduced into the Oregon Legis lature by Senator Perkins and Repre sentative Lewis. The former calls for 10 rounds and the latter for six. While either one would be welcomed by the sportsmen of the state, the fans feel that if there Is to be legalized boxing at all It ouht to be at least 10 rounds. Under the present arrangement box ing bouts are conducted In Astoria, Pen dleton, Roseburg, Marsbfield and va rious other cities of the state, yet the state gets not one penny of revenue from them nor are the fans protected against poor matchmaking and fakery. Legalized boxing would net the state from $15,000 to 120,000 a year, and would guarantee clean boxing contests such as are staged by the Multnomah Club among the amateurs. But, again, we say the limit ought to be 10 rounds or none. MULTNOMAH MAN LEADS GEORGE MCCARTHY TAKES FIRST FALL IN WRESTLING EVENT. FEDS HYPOCRITES, AVER OLD LEAGUES Lawyer for Organized Base ball Says Complainants' Hands Are Unclean. GAME MUST NOT BE HIT BEAVERS GET BATTERY CALLAHAN AND MURRAY SEND IX SIGNED CONTRACTS. Deal for Smith to Go to New Orleans Apparently OITt Probably Due to Fact Krause May Join Feds. Portland's Coast League ball club is ready to begin operations. Signed con tracts came in yesterday from a pros pective Beaver battery, Pitcher Calla han, of Chehalis, and Catcher Murray, of San Francisco. Both youngsters performed for the Portland Northwestern League club last season. That some obstacle has arisen in the purported sale of "United States" Smith, pitcher, to New Orleans, was Indicated by a remark by President McCredie. Judge McCredie was caught in the act of mailing a Portland con tract to Smith, who is pitching around Los Angeles. "He may not go to New Orleans after all," said the Judge, smilingly. "Walter seems to think Smith has tne goods for a great flinger and he may keep him for the Beavers. Southpaw Harry Krause is said to be contemplating a hurdle to the Federals because the Macks cut his 1914 salary, and possibly this may have something to do with Smith's recall. Smith came to Portland from Venice In a trade for Catcher Yantx early in the Fall. Smith was with the Chicago White Sox in 1913. COAST DOG TRIALS OX TODAY Sportsmen From AH Over West Jn Bakersfield for Contests. BAKERSFIELD. Cal.. Jan. 22. The 31st annual Pacific Coast field trials will begin here Saturday, and between 40 and 50 dogs have been entered. The derby for puppies will be held Mon day and the all age stake Tuesday. The championship stake contests will take place Wednesday. Sportsmen from all points in the West are arriving in Bakersfield. A special car with San Francisco dog fan ciers will arrive tonight. Lloyd Tevis is acting president since the de,ath of Judge C. N. Post, who did not miss a" Held trial meet in 30 years. Oliver Rnncbey. of Seattle, Throws . John Kelley, of Winged M, for First Fall in Second Boat. George McCarthy, thevclever "Winged M" 158-oounder mat artist, won the first fall from Lloyd Wray, of Seattle, last nitrht. The affair was the first wrestliBK event of the Multnomah Seattle Interclub meet. The fall was decided in the Portland boy's favor after both men had wrestled and tus sled for a 15-minute round. The Mult nomah man worked the hardest and his atrressiveness won. The first fall in the second event went to Seattle, when Oliver Runchey pinned John Kelley. of Multnomah, to the mat with a hall-Nelson ana oir hold after eight minutes and 28 sec onds of hard work. For a time it looked like either man would have a hard time winning. Both took turns at being on top and worked hard for holds. In a preliminary wrestling event F. Frielinger and H. Hilton, both of Mult nomah, each won a six-minute fall from one another. The summary at a late hour read: Preliminary wrestling F. Frielinger. "M," won six-minute fall and lost one to H. Hilton. "M." 158 pounds, interclub wrestling George McCarthy, "M," won first fall. 15 minutes, from Lloyd wray, Seattle. 135 pounds Oliver Runchey, Seattle. won first fall from John Kelley, "il," in 8:28. Itwa s reported that Wray had bro ken one of his right ribs in the first fall, but he appeared on time for the second round with his side heavily bandaged. SEALS TO GATHER IX MONTH Wolvcrton Sets February 24 as Day to Assemble at Boyes Springs. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22. (Spe cial.) The Seals will be gathering for the annual Spring training in about a month. Harry Wolverton has set Feb ruary 24 as the day on which the mem bers of his club are to assemble at Boyes Springs. This means the team will have practically one week in which to get into shape for the White Sox game that is scheduled for March 5. It is none too much time, but Wol verton Is a hustler and speed in train ing will be the word at the training camp from the moment the players are on the job. An afternoon workout Is scheduled" for the opening day, and after that it will be a steady grind, with a programme of work forenoon and afternoon. Wolverton says the newspaper jnen, who naturally follow the fortunes of the Seals in camp, will be barred from the grounds unless they appear in uni forms and do their part of the work. FTJTTJRE OF 2 SEALS IX DOTJBT Colligan May Be Sold and O'Leary'B Fate Is Xot Decided. ' SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22. (Special.) Although baseball contracts have been sent to Charles (Patsy) O'Leary and Eddie .(Goat) Colligan by the San Francisco club, it is questionable whether the two infielders will be seen on the Pacific Coast the coming season. '"The chances are tnat Colligan will be either sold or traded," said Wolver ton tonight. "As to O'Leary, I am not in a position to say what will be done, for I have not made up my mind, and don't intend to do so for a couple of weeks. It all depends upon the way the team shapes up and what other in fielders we are able to procure." Colligan did not do anything startling last season. O'Leary, although he played good ball, is much of a veteran and Wolverton's scheme seems to be to use young men as far as possible. Whitman Team Is Defeated. WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 22. (Special.) In one of the closest and most exciting games ever seen in the Whitman gymnasium the Walla Walla T. M. C. A. basketball team won from the Whitman quintet by the score of 34 to 32. It was the first appearance of Coach Applegate's Blow at Pastime Would Be Regard ed by Court as One at National Institution, Declaration in Silencing Attorney. CHICAGO. Jan. 22. Charges of "un clean hands" and hypocrisy were made against the Federal League -today by George W. Miller, who presented what probably will be the concluding; argu ment on the side of organized ball in the anti-trust suit, brought by the Fed erals. He declared a temporary In junction asked by the Federals would destroy an Institution It had taken organized baseball years to build. In support of bis charges, Mr. Miner cited instances in which he said Fed eral League clubs bad signed players under contract with clubs in organized ball. He also pointed to sections of the Federal League contracts which he al leged corresponded to the criticised 10-day and reserve clauses and cited the alleged Justification of raids by the plaintiff on the ground that lo-oay clauses invalidated American and Na tional League contracts, as supporting the charges he made. Salary Increases Told. Mr. Miller, in his "address, read a list of what purported to be salaries paid by organized baseball clubs to players who since had left its ranks for the Federals. He said that Lee Magee in 1911 had drawn $1500, in 1912 J2300. In 1914 J3400 and In 1914 $7200. He gave the increase in Joe Tinker's salary, which reached 5600 in bis last year with the Chicago Nationals In 1912 and $10,000 as manager and shortstop for Cincinnati in 1913. Mordecal Brown, according to Mr. Miller's figures, drew $3500 in 1908, $4100 in 1909, $4500 in 1910, $5500 In 1911 and $7000 in 1912. Even with an Injured leg, that virtual ly incapacitated him, Brown drew a salary of $4000 from the Cincinnati club, which he joined the next year, with a promise of a bonus conditional upon his work. According to Mr. Miller the Federal League's reserve clause, as shown in the affidavit of Umpire Steve Cusack. holds a player for 10 seasons, granting him a 5 per cent increase in salary each year and providing that he must be notified of the exercise of the option by September 15 preceding the season in question. Bresnahan Is Quoted. Quoting at length from the affidavit of Rogan Bresnahan, Mr. Miller empha sized the portion where Bresnahan said he had been told by Federal League emissaries they would have a street cut through' the grounds of the St. Louis Nationals. This, the lawyer contended. strengthened his charge of "unclean hands." George Wharton Pepper In his argu ment in behalf of organized baseball sought to appeal to the enthusiasm of Judge Landis for the game and was promptly halted by the court. You may leave the 'love and affec tion out of this lawsuit," said Judge Landis. Blow at Game Frowned On. Both sides understand that any blow made at the thing called baseball would be regarded by this court as a blow at a National institution." The question of jurisdiction, which the defendants raised in an effort to terminate the suit, was not touched upon in today's session. The end of the hearing was In sight tonight. It was said that when the statement by E. E. Gates, of counsel for the Federals, had been concluded. probably tomorrow. Judge Landis would take the case under advisement. 19 In. right thigh.. .19 in. 18 in loft thigh 19 In. 73 in. reach 71 In. According to reports, Johnnie O'Leary is getting himself in shape at Everett, Wash., for a bout with Joe Mandot, the New Orleans lightweight. mm In spite of the fact that "One Round" Hogan had . gone back quite some distance he seems to be getting away with his "come back" In New York. Joe Gans won E6 of his fights via the knockout route according to the records. At that Joe fought a lot of battles that never got in the books. Sammy Good, the Portland boy. who has betn fighting around the North west for quite awhile, says he Is con vinced that he cannot get the oppor tunities he would like to have in the boxing game and for this reason has decided to quit the sport.

OREGON SPEEDS I'P TO FIGHT Last Practice for Willamette Game Tonight Most Satisfactory. UNIVERSITY OF.i.OREGON, Eugene, Jan. 22. (Special.) In preparation for the Willamette game tomorrow Bezdek and bis varsity loped through the most satisfactory practice of the week. Dud ley at center has shown better form each day and has outclassed Brownell in all departments of the game lately. Sharp has worked in the forward po sition without the aid of his running mate, "Skeeter" Bigbee. Bigbee crashed Into the wall of the gymnasium in a recent workout and a bruised foot has resulted. It is likely that the little forward will be In shape for Saturday's game. Baseball Briefs. After all, the Phillies may not have such a bad ball club next season. The outfield will be well taken care of by Becker, Paskert and Cravath. Alex ander, Mayer, Demaree, Hughes and Tincup will not make such a poor show ing on the mound. The inneld probably will consist of Stock, at short, his original position, Byrne, at third and Luderus at first. Cy Neighbors, the former Tacoma player, is well pleased at being turned over to the Spokane club, according to Tacoma reports. "If you think that Rowland, the new White Sox boss, deserves the name of Clarence then McGraw should be called Algernon," said an old minor leaguer the other day in speaking of the new Chicago boss. He said that Rowland's tactics were the same as McGraw's and that even though he was a bush league pilot he knew more baseball than sev eral major league managers. The player said he had played under Rowland on two occasions. ' From all indications Bert Whaling may have to look elsewhere for a posi tion this season.
