1915. 12 MORNING OKEGONIAN. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY ANGELS PICKED 115 RIVALS OF BEAVERS W. W. McCredie Also Predicts Seals Will Be Contenders for Championship. SOME FACTORS ARE CITED JLos Angeles to Be Strong or Weak Depending on Stuping Qualities of Veterans, Is Opinion. Dillon Seeks Trio. ' Bun Francisco, Los Angeles and Port land are W. W. McCredie's choices in the impending race in the Pacific Coast League. The astute Portland magnate doesn't claim to be a big league crys tal gazer, but. like all of us, he has his own beliefs, and his favorites are listed above. "Los Angeles will be either very atrong or very weak, in my judgment," aid the Portland owner. "At the fin ish last Fall the Angels were a mighty formidable outfit. Shortstop Johnson deserted to the fit. I-ouis Federals dur ing the Winter, but Dillon will nil that hole without doubt. "Whether or not the Angels stick at the. top will depend in a great measure on the staying qualities of his veter ans. Tou can generally dope a young ballplaver to come stronger each sea son. With an oldtimer it's different. Usually the manager dopes the veteran on his last season's performance, with a little leeway for slumping. "So I say the Angels will either be very strong or very weak, the latter alternative depending on whether such oldtimers as Charley Check, Jack Ryan, Harry Wolter and Cap. Abstein hold up to past performances or cave in." It is reported in Los Angeles news papers that Pop Dillon is after Dick Egan. of the Brooklyn Nationals: Ar nold Hauser, formerly of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Marsans. the Cuban tosser. Bgan is well known on the Coast and Dillon wants him for second or short. In 1912. with Cincinnati, he played wonderful ball. Egan partici pated in 106 games last year, but hit only .226. Second Baseman Page has been re leased outright, so the Angelic inrield candidates are Abstein, at first; pos aiblv Egan on second, and McMullin and Metzger for third. Dillon is unde cided about Lee Tannehill, the ex-Chi cago star, because Lee has the same batting weakness that besets Heinle iletzger. San Francisco's pitching staff re ceived its needed reinforcements the other day when Manager Wolverton signed Charley Smith. ex-Chicago Cub, Smith was one of the four fading phe Tioms shown the door by Bresnahan a few weeks back. Leach and Sweeney also being members of the quartet. Smith hasn't been any wonder for the Cubs, but he is said to be a first class minor league pitcher. In 1911 with Newark he won 10 and lost 10, although Newark finished seventh for a percentage of .375. Smith has been with the Cubs for three seasons. Last year he pitched in 16 games, winning two and losing four, which cannont be characterized as a brilliant record. Smith is a right-hander and will make up for the loss of Standridge to the Cubs by draft. The complete Seal pitching roster follows: Baum, Fanning. Pernoll, Barham Keisigl. Smith and youngsters Couch, Colwell. Shader, Benham and Inman. Next thing you know the Burgo master of Potsman. Nefercaradam or come other of those Belgium cities that don't give a whoop, will be nam ing streets after Claud Berry. Besides being a catcher for the Pittsburg Federals, Berry is a member of a mill ing firm at Lynn, Ind., and in a letter Claud says 18,000 barrels of flour will soon be shipped by his firm to the people whom Caesar characterizes as the bravest of the brave. Claud is the former Portland back stop who hot-footed over to the out law league with Chadbourne and Krapp a year ago. As we understand it, Mrs. Buddy Ttyan didn't want to take any chances with Buddy in a Mormon metropolis. The main attraction at the Oakland Fpring camp Is Pitcher Sampson, a full blood Piute Indian, with an un derhand delivery and crossed eyes. Sampson is not direct from the plains, however, for he follows the printing trade whon not looking two ways at opposing batsmen. Sampson lives at Carson City, Nev and pitched for the amateur champions of Nevada. Infielder Naughton is expected in Portland today from Caldwell. Idaho, to Join the delegation of Portland ball tossers leaving Sunday night for Fresno, Cal. In the party will be Gus Fisher. Walter Doane. Tat Callahan, Kvan Evans, Ty Lober, and war cor respondents from the Portland newa papers. ' other former well-known ringslders: Henry Weldon, Howard Hackett, P. .1. TJonahne. Nel.se Innes. Fred Mc- Kav Huirh Keouch. George Siler, Al Smith. Billy O'Brien, Harry Corbett, Jack Halnin. Willie Britt. Macon Mc Cormick, Gus Tuthill, Dan Stuart and Charlev Sevmour. Bill Naughton was one of the few headline sport experts who saw the Flynn-Johnson bout at Las Vegas and it was Naughton's opinion that John' son was slipping fast . The American Association will re tain the double umpire system, and Instead will carrv only 16 players be tween May 15 and August 15. The Pa cific Coast League will carry more Dlavers and fe.vi.-r umpires, which Is necessary, because of the longer play ing season. The best way to curtail would be to limit the quarts to 16 or 17 at the annual meetings. More jov for the modern Delllahs who have been cutting up dldos with Coast ball Dlavers. Sampson is back on earth, with the Oakland ball club. Tis said that the Oregon Judiciary committee was leary of the Perkins boxine- bill because there was no pro vision fo- a proper accounting of the funds. Perhaps the bill was weak but it is a matter of history that com mittees have altered measures up for consideration. Z '. I ps raBBa wmmmm HIIAIHIIATnll llinll oelphia Americans the coming season.

First, the directors let Attorney Joshua Klngham, of ' Vic toria, drop in and grab the Bees' fran chise: then they proceeded to elect Attorney Bobert Blewett, of Seattle, as president, and now Blackstone has crabbed a berth on the managing end of the game. Dode Brinker, gradu ate of the University of Washington Law School, has been named manager of th-s Vancouver club, succeeding Harry Schamweber. Dode has been with Bob Brown for nearly six years, starting in as a pitcher in Spokane and switching to the outfield because of his batting ability. He owns a dandy disposition and ought to prove a high ly successful field general under Rusty Brown. Here's one wrestling match that was on the square anyway John Berg threw hia old partner, Joe Heinrich, twice In an hour at Colfax. Wash. If they switch the Wlllard-Johnson fight to Havana, it will be a sad blow to the big league ball stars who had figured on slipping over to El Paso during training recesses In their vari ous Texas camps. It also will mean a cancellation of the proposed New ' York-Cleveland ball series at El Paso. Which recalls that in the few short ears intervening since Corbett fell below the freckled paw of Ruby Rob ert Fitzslmmons.

With the basketball season, so far as home games arc concerned, finished, the State College team will leave to morrow for -a series of games on the West Side. The team demonstrated lis superiority over Idaho Tuesday night by winning a 28-14 victory, it was xne third ir.ime which Idaho has lost to Washington State. One more game, that at Moscow, is to be played by the two teams. Washington State's players are in fine shaDe. "Doc" Bohler will take nine men on the trip and expects to use all. On February 27 will come the game against the University of Washington at Seattle. This game will either de cide the championship or tie It up. March 1 will see the team In corvai- lis in action against the Oregon Ag gies. From me aope, it ougni m no Washington State victory. juarcn i the team will take on Oregon. It prob ably will be another "rough house" game. The last two games of the season will be played at Walla Walla against Whitman. The team is not made up of bright and Individual stars, but is com posed of simply good, heady players that Bohler has developed from the material at hand. Anderson," captain, is playing his last game of college basketball. Moss, at guard, has been a stone wall of defense and is also mie-htv rood at handling the ball Bohler. the other guard, is a hard worker and has pulled the team out of more than one hole through being able to cage the free throws. Glover, at center, is always in the game, and after the tip off plays a defensive truarri position and does it well. Hil- denbrand, the other forward. Is small, but more than makes up for it in speed and fight. GOOD MARGINS NEEDED KING WILL GIVE NO HAIRLINE DE CISIONS AT SMOKER.

"If the boys are so close that the decision is uncertain I Intend to give them draws. When I render a decision it will be to the best of my ability. "There was some criticism after our first smoker because of the decision in the Trambetus-Wagner match. Referee Dudlev Evans thought Wagner de served to win because of the poor show ing of Trambetus In the fourth round. We have matched these two 140-pound cracks over again for tonight, so the fans will have a chance to see the old grudge settled."

In a mlxup in the fifth chap ter Duffy missed a hard right swing with such force that he slipped to the floor, with Gruman falling on top. The weights were: Gruman 134 and Duffy 133 , Somebody was "kidding"" the folks back at home when It was announced few days ago that Kalpn trruman was to fight Jimmy Duffy, the famous lightweight who has met all the top notchers in the ring and who defeated Freddy Welsh not so many moons ago. It was Jimmy Duffy, "of the West Side," not Jimmy Duffy, of Buffalo, that the Portland lad boxed last night, ac cording to New York fistic experts.

SHARP BACK AT FORWARD Little Player Who Had Tnrncd In Suit Returns to Pray to Play in State Championship Games. Teams Regarded as Even. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eug-ene, Feb. 25. (Special.) Coach Hugo Bez dek and his team of basket tossers rested through an easy workout at the varsity gymnasium this afternoon, and the final practice before tomorrow's struggle with the Aggies was only sprinkled with fast play. "Tomorrow we work, today we rest. said the coach as he watched his men shoot easy, baskets and lob the ball up and down the floor. This afternoon was featured by Sharp's return to the game. Two days ago the little forward turned in his suit, declaring that he was through with basketball for this season. His failure to play up to snuff was the cause for the temporary retirement. A change of mind, however, marked his return to the game and Sharp will start the battle against the Aggies in Cor- vallis tomorrow. "Sharp didn't play the basketball he was capable of when we were on our trlD." said Coach Bezdek. "and I didn't feel justified in keeping him on regu larlv while he was in a slump. Never theless, I will place him against Stew art's men when we line up tomorrow. My one hope is that he will get zo has kets." With Sharp back in his old position Boylen will once again play at guard and Wheeler will "warm the bench. The change is but temporary. If the reinstated forward does not live up to exnectations. 'Our chances with the Oregon Agri cultural College are an even break to win, judging from the past records or both teams." remarked Bezdek. "With the exception of our win over Idaho, everv team in the conference has beat en us at least once. The same calamity holds true with the Aggies and my opinion as to the outcome is based upon these facts." Interest is running high over tne ini tial contest and fans are predicting a series of victories for Oregon if they can but win their first game on tne Corvallls floor. As Coach Bezdek gave out nis lineup tha following men are scheduled to nnen im Hostilities: morion, i-enier Lile Bigbee. guard; Captain Boylen, guard: Sharp, forward, and fckeeter Bitrbee. forward.
