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
. I'M Ileulbach for terms last week, but
' all Kd wanted was San Pedro harbor
and a lease on the Panama Canal.

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

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.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Feb. 17. (Special.) It was a bruised

which answered Coach Hugo Bezdek's
call to arms in the gymnasium this aft

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

Before Coach Griffith, of the Idaho

this morning he said:
"Oregon has the fastest team in the
conference and I think that they will

TITLE SERIES FADES
World's Hockey Championship
Not for Portland.
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.
