TIIE MORXIXG OHEGONIAN. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1915. 13 WALTER DOANE IS REAL DE-TEC-A-T1VE Baseball Player Says He Wasn't a "Bit Skeered" but Was Cautious. M'CREDIE PAL A-COMIIM' V hen Lee Tanneliill Reports to the I.os Angeles Club Walter Won't 1'cel So Lonesome, for Another Crony Will Be In West. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. ' "Walter Doane. Scientific Sleuthing." Ton may never live to ace this sign plastered all over a glass door panel, but anything is possible. Single- - handed and unarmed Pontic captured an alleged forger the other night and it took him exactly JO roinutea after the alarm to land his victim into the "hnORMV." ', , Such prompt detecting as that ought t entitle the star Portland outfielder to honorary membership, at least, in the Amalgamated Order of raise Mustache Wearers. Ceorgo Uewey. a lutsky youth from Irollincham, Wash., enacted the role of the villain. Dewey attempted to pass a bogus check on a loeal department " More using a check blank from the merchants' National Bank and the sig nature "George Hardy." Department store officials smelled a mouc. however, and, as Dewey was a vouthful appearing fellow, they tele phoned the Juvenile Court for an of- ficer. Doane Is employed as a haliff in judge Gatens' court during the Win ter season and. as there were no de tectives handy when the call came in, Walter volunteered. He was promptly sworn in. given n Dcputv Sheriffs star, and five minutes Liter Doane had his victim by the Von t sleeve leading him down Sixth street, bound for the. county bastile. So there. Mr. Lee McQuillan, look to your laurels! "Weren't you a little bit frightened. Walt was asked yesterday. "No. but I wasn't taking any chances," he volunteered. "The first thing I-dld was to search every pocket in his clothes to make sure he wasn't toting a gun around. I didn't want to top any lead. While 1 was doing this Hardy s-aid to me: " MIow are the beds up there? "I said they were fine. That seenW to satisfy him. Hardy is a big. husky lad and when I searched him I found a list of about l."i or 21) prominent busi ness firms in the city. Among them were the Gerllnger Motor Car Com pany. Hugh Hume ami Lipman. Wolfe Company. I guess he expected to victimize them all." When Lee Tanneliill reports to the Los Angeles club this Spring another old pal or Walt McCredie's will be in the Coast League. Tannehill, Brashear and M'-Credie were members of the same Minneapolis club back in 1901. Mack says Tanneliill broke into base ' hall that year at third for the Millers ! and was 19 years old. which would make him ground 31 or 35 years old. - Tannehill afterwards went to the Chi cago Sox and played third for several reasons. Tannehill hit .274 last year In the American Association and swiped reven bases. Dillon is expected to use him at third in Melzger's place. There will be no changes In the Tortlnnd Coast uniforms this year. The fame blue trimmed with red will pre- -vail for road uniforms, with white for . the homo suits. Tote Shields, who was a catcher with ; the F'ortland team for three months in the Fall of 1!1I, is being figured as : regular firstsacker of the Cleveland team for the ensuing campaign. Somebody brought Shields' name up ; yesterday in a fanfest at headquarters i'nd Manager Mack told why he let Shields go. "Cleveland sent him out to me in the Jate Summer." said the big shepherd ' of tho I'ortland champs. "He was a college boy and was as green as grass and he. was also a trifle lazy. 1 had him sitting around on the bench for three months, drawing pay and doing " lothing. One day Joe Reilly asked me for a catcher to go down to MeMinn ' villc with his Knights of Columbus team and I told hint he could have Shields. "So 1 asked Shields the next day If he would like to go out and catch for a friend of mine. "What's In it?' he grumbled. "When 1 told him there was nothing In it simply an accommodation to me. he snid: "'Aw. I don't want to go rambling around in tho brush if there's nothin' ir it.' " "All right.' said I. Tou can pick up " your "traps tomorrow and beat it back L'ast. 1 don't want you around the .ramp any longer. Jf you don't want to " io anything but sit on the bench you ran sit on the Cleveland bench not mine.' " Happy Hogan has a sterling first- M' krr signed up and under cover, he : says. And it is not Glcichmann, of J'.altimore. with whom he had some communication. Hogan also wrote .

Superintendent of Parks tonvlll Also Has Several Traeta In Mind Which Will Help Cw. More municipal diamonds for the baseball kids are practically assured. XV. L. Brewster. City Commissioner, yesterday volunteered his assistance in Tho Oregonlan's campaign for the fields, and as J. O. Convill, City Super intendent of Parks, is heartily in favor or doing more for the youngsters things are rapidly assuming definite form. The -petitions being circulated by Secretary Critchlow, of the Amateur Association, will be ready to present to the Council within a few days. "I have several tracts in mind," said Superintendent Convill. speaking of the campaign. "We are anxious to do all in our power provided there is a de mar.ri or the fields. Admittedly Port land is behind Seattle in the number of municipal diamonds. I ne count, j. De lieve, stands about 12 In Seattle to five here. I am not at liberty to state fully my plans, but I have two or three tracts in mind that can be secured on easv term leases for a sufficient period. "We are doing everything in our power to provide basehall, tennis and swimming facilities for the youth of Portland." . , Mr. Brewster and Mr. Convill are keenly interested in the work. Mr. Convill is an all-around athlete of note. Last Fall he captained the Multnomah football eleven after two or three years of service on the Winged M eleven. Four tracts, two on the West Side and two on the East Side, are looked upon with favor by Superintendent Convill. The West Portland lots are small and each will have room enough for only one diamond. The East Port land tracts, however, are much larger and each will accommodate two or three diamonds. The tracts on both sides of the river are located at each end of the city, north and south. HARRY M'AUDLE "VP JX AIR" Ex-Venice Utility Man Admits He Has Run Out in Coast Company. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb." 17. (Spe cial.) Harry McArdle is uncertain lust where he will be situated this coming season. The Venice utility infielder has an eye on the Southern League and it is quite possible, through Harry Wolves ton, that he may be placed. , Harry was in the city today for his first visit to baseball headquarters. "I haven't given much thought to where I will play ball this season." said McArdle, "but I would like to go to the Southern League. I have not a thing against Ilogan. He gave me my release, whereas he might have sent me to some club that would not have suited. I can't quite understand why Hogan should have talked about me as he is reported to have done, for my relations with him always were pleasant. "I have been 1n the Coast League for seven years and have run my string out. There is such a thing as being in a league too long, you know." Williams Signs Salt Lake Contract. SAX FRANCISCO, Feb. 1 7. .Special.) Lefty Williams signed his Salt Lake contract today and i now a full fledged Mormon. Cliff Blankenship agreed that Williams was entitled to the Increase In salary he previously had been promised by Wolverton, as manager of the Sacramento club. That was the only possible chance for a hitch, and with that out of the way Williams signed up without hesitation. i V THREATS OFT PUT "CRIMP" ON DEALS Players Promise Jump but Hope to Land on Pennant Team, Says McGraw.

Then the idea came. John went out anil walked almost to Harlem, from where he sent himself a telegram. When he got back to the hotel he walked briskly up to the desk, having engaged a room for $2 a day at a quieter hotel in a side street on his way back. . "Any mail for me?" he asked the "Telegram.

But, be ing a "game guy," he made good and moved, which netted him a loss of J2 a day. Shafcr Through for All Time. ' NEW YORK. Feb. 17.

OREGON BOYS CRIPPLED BE7.DEK CONFIDENT WASHINGTON WILL GET RUn. Coach Griffith, of Idaho Basketball Tnssrrs, Declares Oregon Has Fastest Conference Team. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Feb. 17. (Special.) It was a bruised and battered squad of basket tossers which answered Coach Hugo Bezdek's call to arms in the gymnasium this aft ernoon, and as they limped and crow hopped" over the boards in an effort to remove the stiffness caused by last night's slashing encounter with the Idaho five, their mentor stood on the sidelines and remarked: "They certainly look as though they have been through the mill and, as bad as they appear, I can't help but think that the boys are due to put up better ball the rest of the season." How will they stack up against Washington Friday was fired at Bez dek. "Oregon will show to far more ad vantage here than in Seattle. A familiar floor, a home crowd and no travel are beneficial to any team; Tony Savage and his men will have to go every min ute to "win." Before Coach Griffith, of the Idaho College, boarded the train for Corvallis this morning he said: "Oregon has the fastest team in the conference and I think that they will win from Stewart's Aggies in the ma jority of their coming games."

VANCOUVERS WIN COUNTS Loss ol Uncle Sams of Tuesday's Game, Played Before 5000 Fans, Decreases Materially Chances of Overhauling Millionaires. While the fanatic and his dream die hard, the odd3 are much against a world's hockey series for Portland this year. The victory of the Vancouver leaders over Portland, 5-0, before 5600 fans, Tuesday night, at the Ice Hippo drome, decreases materially the chances of the Uncle Sams overhaul ing Vancouver. The Canucks were leading one game when they bearded Pete Muldoon's men in their own den. and their victory here puts them two full games ahead. As the Millionaires are In exceptionally good condition and with the one weak ness at forward strengthened by the addition of Stanley, It looks as if the world's series will bo played in Van couver. Portland has one? fighting chance, and that is to defeat Vancouver in the two remaining games between the leaders. These two games will be played Friday and f Saturday, Febru orir and 27. at tho Patrick Arena. In addition. Portland meets Victoria three times and Vancouver wimm Vic toria thrice. The schedule for the rest of the sled ding follows: February 19 Victoria at ancouver. February 23 Portland at Victoria. ' February 26-27 Portland at Van couver. March 2 Vancouver at Victoria. March 6-6 Victoria at Portland. March 9 Vancouver at Victoria. "The advantage is all with us now." commented Frank Patrick, owner of the Vancouver septet, after Tuesday night's game. "However, the race is not over yet. The Portland players are just as fa miliar with the Vancouver rink as my own men. Harris, Johnson and other Sams have played with Vancouver at various times. Harris was with me last year. I traded him to Portland during the Winter for Mallen, and I guess I got the worst of it, as Kenny hasn't been playing up to his oldtime form." Frank Patrick may not be in the best of condition, but as results go the Vancouver owner appears to be a "bear" of a defense player. Patrick jumped on the ice in the Vancouver vietnria. frame at Victoria last week. and the champions did not net a goal after his entry. On top oi mis Van couver held Portland scoreless here Tuesday, so that Patrick's record as one of the defensive units is untar nished as yet. It would be a peculiar sight in base ball to see the president of a league playing with one of the teams, but it doesn't seem to startle the hockeyists. Local fans were treated to the unusual sight Tuesday night of seeing a league official banish his boss for fouling. Patrick was sent to the penalty bench twice for minor fouls. Mickey Mackaye is "all to the good" as tho chief marksman of the Pacific Coast Hockey League. He shot lour goals against Victoria last week and added to his lead over Oatman Tues day by shooting tho final counter past Mike Mitchell. NEW TRI-STATE IJSAGUE IS AIM Huntington, Baker, Eljrin, Union and Other Towns Mentioned.
