Terms and Trade for Roy

AKANA ABOUT ELIMINATED
Hawaiian Xot to Be Considered for
. riace on Portland Team Unless
v He Tajs His Own "Way to
Spring Training Camp.
Erase Roy Moran's name from the
roster of the Portland Coast cham
pions. George Klrcher. Atlanta out
fielder, aereeri to terms with Portland
yesterday and the trade of Morar for
Kircher is on. At least. Walter .Mc
Credie received a telegram from the
Atlanta. - management yesterday after
noon to that effect.
"Kircher has been holding out for
more money, but I guess lie has come
to terms, explained Mac.
Kircher hit .277 last season and
wiped 34 baps and Walt McCredie
thinks he is even better than Moraix
for whom he traded Buddy Ryan to
Salt Lake City early in the year.
Portland's outfield now shapes up
with Lobcr and Speas in left, Kircher
In center and Doane in right. The Ha
waiian, Akana, will not be considered
unless he pays his own expenses to
the SprinR camp at Fresno.
Reed, one of the younssters secured
from the Phillies in the Bancroft trans
action, will also be available as an
outfield possibility. Reed is said to
bo too sloppy in the infield and Walt
has a. hunch that Reed will develop
Into a sterling gardener.
Portland's team is now thought to
be complete, except for a couple of
bush catchers, who will be taken to
' ramp to help Fisher and Murray in
the preliminaries. Derrick's sale to St.
Louis appears to be off. The Port
. land roster, as it stands, is as fol
lows: Catchers Fisher, Murray and Wid
ner. Pitchers Higginbotham, Krause. Rie
per, Kvans. Martinoni, Lush, Coveles
kie. Leonard. Barnes, Bishop and Calla
han. First base Derrick.
Second base Davi?, Murphy. Naugh
ton. Shortstop Reed, Coltrin and Hall.
Third base-7-Stumpf.
Outfield Speas, Lober, Doane and
Kircher.
If the Salt Lake fans thought they
were pulling something original when
they voted to hitch the appellation,
"Bees," on to their ball club, they were
sadly mistaken. The Northwest League
club at Victoria has been toting that
suggestive title around for a couple
of seasons and all the time acting -the
part of an innocent housefly.
The Pacific Coast and Northwest
leagues now have three monackers in
common: Portland and Vancouver Bea.
vers, Venice and Tacoma Tigers and
Salt Lake and victoria Bees.
Gus Fisher Is preparing for another
.35s batting average. Gus took his
choice of a large consignment of bats
received by a local sporting-goods
house yesterday and when he finished
his hand-grubbing he had 16 hunks of
hickory charged up against the Port
land ball club.
Fisher uses the "Bill Rodgers" model.
Wolverton had a chance the other
day to send his Texas League out
fielder. Rudy Baerwald. to a North
west League club, but he decided to
look him over in Spring ramp. A San
Francisco newspaper speaks of Baer
wald as 25 years old. You'd have to
poke a horse-pistol in a Butte man's
map to make him swallow that esti
mate. Baerwald played outfield for
Russ Hall's Butte Northwest League
club in 19J7 under the name of Bell
and he had his name on safety razor
testimonials for several years prior to
that.
San Francisco may use Leard at third
and Downs at second if young Bob
Jones does not come up to expectations.
Manager Wolverton opined, as much
the other day to San Francisco writers.
With Hellmann on first, Downs on sec
ond. Corhan at short and Leard at
third, the Seals wouldn't look so bad,
even if Jones did fizzle out.
"Dutch" Kores doesn't like Portland.
To a Milwaukee newspaperman Kores
sot this off his chest:
"Rottenest town I ever played In.
Fan don't even support a winning
team. I'm glad I am out of that hole
and I don't want ever to go back."
Kores backed up his interview by
sending insulting valentines to Walter
McCredie and several other Portland
baseball folk. " Mac threw his "valen
tine' in the waste-basket and laughed.
I guess 'Dutch' is sore because I
aid. he would have a tough time break
ing In against Hans Lobert," said Mac.
"Well. I hope he makes good, but I
don't think lie will. Korea is a good
slugger, but that lets him out. Ha
missed more signs from base-run nera
than any ballplayer ,1 ever had under
ray wing."
"Dutch" lives at Milwaukee, Wia,
and reports to the New York Giants
this Spring.

There will be no Western Tri-State

ganization of the circuit ended when
the clubs failed to put up the necessary
money as a fee to Secretary Farrell. of
the National body, by last night, the
end of the time limit for sucn action
under the rules of organized baseball.
Raker fans were busy until the last.
and had ready the necessary $100 and
communicated by long distance teie
nhone and telegraph with the other
cities, Villa Walla, North yaKima ana
Pendleton, trying to spur them to act.
It was learned, however, that JNortn
Takima and Walla Walla still were
honelesslv entangled from the 1914 sea
son. North Yakima not having paid all
the baseball players and wana waua
owing hotel bills and other accounts.
Baker fans were disappointed by the
failure to reorganize, and think it was
due chiefly to the lack of a leader. Roy
Rittner. president of the league, is at
the State Legislature at Salem, and took
no action toward reorganizing tbo
league.
There is talk of organizing a league
consisting of Balfer, La Grande, Haines
and Huntington with semi-professional
or amateur players. Another plan is
to limit the league to Baker County,
substituting Sumpter for La Grande.

a meeting of the officials fdr Sunday
morning at 11 o'clock. The meeting is
to elect a vice-president and secretary,
to take the places of the two who lost
their position when the by-laws of
the league, making it a rule to elect
officials, the president excepted, from
among the league directors, were ac
cepted. Those on the board eligible
for the position are: George Grayson,
Clyde Rupert and Claude Schmeer,
William Heales already holds the of

It is also likely that the players" con

"HOME RI X" BAKER DECIDES
TO RETIRE FROM BASE
BALL. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16.
"Home Run" Baker, star third
baseman of the Philadelphia
American League baseball team,
has decided to retire from the
diamond and will not appear
with the team next season, ac
cording to an announcement made
here tonight by Manager Connie
Mack at a dinner of the Phila
delphia Sporting .Writers' Asso
ciation. Baker last year signed a three
year contract with the Athletics.
Mack stated that the third base
man is not dissatisfied with the
terms of this contract, but wants
to devote "his time to his farm
in Maryland. Baker is less than
29 years old and has been a mem
ber of the Athletics since 1908.
He was the hero of both the 1911
and 1913 world's series with the
New -York Giants. In 1911 he
knocked home runs in two games
at critical periods, and in 1913
put the ball over the fence in the
opening contest.
Blankenshlp explains that he has so
much outfield material that he' was
forced to cut down and concluded that
a chance would be given Van Buren to
find a berth ior himself.
Blankenship has made plans for a
number of Spring training games. On
February 28 Salt Lake is slated to take
on the the White Sox at San Jose. On
March 20 and 21 Indianapolis is billed
at San Jose. On March 23 and 24 Salt
Lake and Indianapolis will play at
Sacramento, the two teams moving on
to Reno for a contest March 25. There
also will be 'games at San Jose with
the Santa Clara and Stanford univer
sities, so Blankenshlp expects to keep
his team busy.

CONSTITUTIONALITY CHALLENGED
IN SUIT AGAINST ENFORCEMENT.
College Endowment Association Says
That Condemned Building Is Not
40 Per Cent Deteriorated.
An injunction against the enforce
ment of Ihe city's anti-shack ordinance
is sought by the College Endowment
Association in a suit filed yesterday in
County Clerk Coffey's office. Frank
S. Grant,, former city attorney, who
filed the suit, seeks to have the or
dinance declared unconstitutional.
Specifically the suit is brought to
enjoin the city from enforcing the or
dinance against a frame building at
240 Second street owned by the College
Endowment Association. The building
was condemned some time ago and or
dered torn down. The owners appealed
to the Council but the condemnation
was upheld.
The ordinance provides that a build
ing may be condemned when it has
depreciated more than 40 per cent.
Under the provisions of the charter.
it is pointed out, the City Council alone
has the power to order the removal of
dangerous buildings, and then only
when they become actually dangerous
to passersby.
Affidavits attached to the complaint
are by A. H. Maegly, general manager
of the College Endowment Association;
John P. Bennes, an architect, and J. O.
Tremblay, a contractor. Each declares
that the association s building at Sec
ond and Main streets has not depre
ciated 40 per cent, as required under
the ordinance before an order of re
moval can be made.
AGGIE CAPTAIN GOING HOME
Brewer BiUie in City on Way to As
toria to Stay Till Fall.
Brewer Blllie, captain-elect of the 1915
football squad of the Oregon Agricul
tural College, is in Portland on his way
to his home at Astoria. Blllie left Cor
vallls Monday and will journey to As
toria sometime this morning.
He completed tha Fall semester at
the college last week, and he will not
return until the call is made for the
training of the 1915 eleven. A tempting
offer has been made to him from the
fish metropolis, and he hopes to remain
there until next September. "Dark
horse" Newman so far is the only other
member of last season's squad who
failed to return to college this Spring.

FISHING BILL SATISFIES
SPORTSMEN APPROVE PASSAGE OF
AMENDED GILL ACT.
H. B. Van Outer and Others Say Mouth
of Clackama Should Be Net Dead
line, hut Accept Compromiser
"I think, that the passing of the
amended Gill bill, setting the suspen
sion bridge below the falls at Oregon
City as the 'deadline' for net fisher
men was a satisfactory compromise,"
said President H. B. Van Duzer, of the
Oregon Sportsmen's League, yesterday.
"It will prove a great benefit for the
present at least," he continued.
"In the past the commercial fisher
men went up near the falls with their
nets and cleaned out the resting places
tn a short time. If this had continued
much longer, much harm wduld have
been done to the fishing industry in
the Willamette. Although, of course,
there are many resting places on the
other side of the bridge, and I feel that
the 'deadline' should have been set at
the mouth of the Clackamas, I feel
that the sportsmen have won a vic
tory." Dr. E. C. McFarland,' secretary of
the Multnomah Anglers' League, said
that although he would have much
rather seen the "deadjine" set at the
mouth of the Clackamas, he felt that
a great deal of good would be accom
plished as it is. He said that had the
present system been allowed to con
tinue much longer not enough salmon
would get up the river to give the
hatcheries sufficient spawn for restock
ing the streams.
The sportsmen have maintained for
years that allowing the net fishermen
to drag the rest holes below the falls
would put an end to fishing, both for
commercial and sport purposes.
