TI1E MOUSING OKEGOXLUT, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1015. MWDIE IS EAGER FOR VICTORY TODAY Series With Indianapolis Is Really Struggle Between Two Rival Leagues. HIGGINBOTHAM TO PITCH Beavers Lineup for First of Two Contests to Be One That Will Open Season Full Squad Is Out for FirM Time. FRESNO. Cal.. March II. (Special.) What McCredie characterizes as the most important practice jramea of the ictson are to be played here tomorrow and ?undav. when the Portland Beavers meet the Indianapolis American asso .lation club. McCredie wants to win the two games more than any others ourinz the preliminaries. Mack's reason is that he wants to show the Coast League fans that the Coast i stronger than the American Association, despite the fact that both league! have Class AA rating. There has alwavs been some question as to the relative strength of the two or ganizations, and McCredie wishes to tettle this question beyond a reaon ahle doubt. , , . Indianapolis Is a representative club of the association, having won several pennants and having finished no lower than third place. Portland holds the roast championship and is therefore qualified to uphold the title for the t'oait states. HUcglabotham t Pitch. With the view of getting two vic tories McCredie has selected the lineup tuat will open the season and will send In a holdover pitcher to do the work. Jligginbotham has been chosen to pitch tomorrow's game, and Rube Evans will be held In reserve should Erve find the going too heavy. McCredie received a telegram from Jack Hendricks tonight saying that the Indians would arrive in Fresno at 7 o clock tomorrow morning. They left . Lob Ampeles this afternoon and spent the night on the road. Hendricks has made reservations at the Hughes Hotel, the headquarters of the Portland team. Reservations have been made for 30 persons, there being about 25 ball players In the party. Several Deaverlte in Party. Several members of the Denver West ern League club are making the trip with Hendricks. These players and practically all those released will be turned over to the Denver team. Hendricks telegraphed the following batting order: Rlelly, left field; Bronkle. third: Kelly, center field; Metz, first; Butcher, right field; Cran dall. second: Mitchell, short; Blackburn, catcher; Merz and Meara, pitchers. Portland playera are looking forward to a renewal of acquaintance with Hank Butcher, a former member of the Beavers, who is playing right field for the Indians. Butcher was with the Beavers one season and nearly ended the careers of several pitchers by hit ,ting the ball back at them. Butcher went from Portland to the Denver club. His hitting at Denver won for him a place on the Indianapolis club. Full Squad Is Out. For the first time since the training reason opened McCredie had his full quad out today. Stanley Coveleskie completed the squad. Coveleskie is the most prominent man on the train ing field; he wears a scarlet under ahirt. This undergarment stands out vividly against the field of blue and white presented by the other 2a candi dates. Coveleskie confined himself to warm ing up with the catchers, throwing a fw practice balls and a. jog around the park. He expects to work into condi tion rapidly. - The Portlandere will play a game a day for the next six days. Three will ;be with the Chicago White Hot first iivislon and one with the Chinese Uni versity. The Sox and Beavers alsctvill -play at Stockton on March 22, .which adds another game to the training ft.'on schedule. Carlson, the new Beaver catcher from I the Cleveland Americans, is t perma nent institution with the Portland club. This specific announcement was made here today by McCredie. Mack has been searching for a catcher to relieve Fisher, since he learned that young Murray, of San Francisco, would be unable to play baseball this year, and he states he has found his man in Ca rtsch. ' , The new catcher is In every way the man that McCredie wants and in the few days that he has been working out has demonstrated ably that he will be a permanent fixture in the Coast League this year. What seems to be bothering McCredie Is the fact tmit Carisch will be going back to the big show next year. . If the 18-player limit is removed next year, then McCredie will be more willing to take a good price for his new man and will not feel that he is jeopardizing his chances with the 1918 pennant. If the playing limit is still held at 18 players then Mack will make a fight to retain Carisch or will not let him loose until he gets a catcher equally as good. Catchers Thought Needed. "There's no use trying to run a ball team under an 18-man limit without two first-class catchers. said Mc Credie. "and it was for this reason that I decided to get the best possible ma terial to assist Uus Fisher. Young Murray would have made a fine sub stitute, as he was doing great work in the Northwestern League. i 'Under a 20-man limit it Is possible to carry three catchers, a good man LINCOLN HIGH WINS Wrestling Trophy Is Captured From Washington High.

Kircher. who hales from the Atlanta Southern Association club and comes to Portland on a trade for Moran. llmms large as the regular utility man -for the Beavers this year. Kirchcr has bad considerable experience in utility lines and has experience in both infield and outfield. He is capable at a mo ment's notice of going in and playing . passable ball at almost any position on a club. Kircher was the utility man on the Atlanta club last season and played in all but 10 games. This is quite a rec ord for a utility man. whose principal jntj is warming up pitchers and taking care of the scattered bats, balls and weatera Kircher's hitting ability and lus adaptability to any position on the "field made him one of the most valu able men on the club last season. .- Kircher had quite a time getting to California this year. He left Atlanta ,ahead of rerrick but did not arrive .here until a day after the first base ,man. From Atlanta he went to Louis ville. Ken., his home, where he stopped for several days to visit with relatives. He also stopped over a couple of days In St. Louis to see friends. Snow was everywhere on the trip to the Coast. Moran and Kircher are great pals and had several Inteersting conversations during the Winter in Atlanta. Kircher Is the owner of a large bowling alley and reports that he and Moran had a number of interesting games. Moran Iconducted a suit club during the Win der and had a little tailoring line fin the side. In 144 games last year Kircher hit .277 and fielded .900 in 44 games at third base. The remainder of the peri od was played in center field after the regular man had been put out with a permanent injury. Kircher started his baseball career with Shelbyville In the Blue Urass 'League at the opening of 1909. He opened with this club in 1910 and about the middle of the season was sent to Winchester in the same league. In 1911 he went to Norfolk, in the Vir ginia League, where he remained for three seasons, being drafted by Atlanta at the opening of last year. - Kircher's batting average last sea son follows: Games 144. at bat S41, runs 67. hits 150, two-base 21, three base 4. home runa 0. total bases 179, eacrlflce hits 23. stolen bases 34. aver age 277; fielding record at third base, Karnes 44. putouts SO, assists 57. er rors 13. percentage .900.

Every man has I and It was the last bout that got to have his place this year and fin it in first-class shape if his club is to be in at the finish." Carisch saw his first baseball 11 years ago in Montana and since that time he has risen rapidly, having played with four big league clubs and spent seven years In the major league. "The mere fact that Carisch has played three years with the Cleveland club." said McCredie, "and then comes to the Coast does not in any way in dicate that ho is going back. Carisch is as good or better today than he was three years ago and he comes to the Portland club simply because we need him here. "Carisch has every attribute of a ball player and his major league experience will prove of value to the young play ers on the team. He stands up to the plate and hits the ball out. uses his head all the time behlrm me bat and is fast as the wind on bases." Carisch is not in condition as jet. being a little heavy. This will come off during regular practice and he will bo in perfect form before tne season Carisch will work In regular practice games as often or more often tnan Fisher, as he has not been in camp as long as Fisher and consequently needs the conditioning. ANGELS- BEAT SOX BY 1 0 TO 1 Dillon Announces He Soon Will Be gin Job of Weeding Ont. LOS ANGKLES, March 12. (Special.) The Angels hammered Johnson and Russell hard today and defeated the White Sox 10 to T. They chased the former out of the box in the third frame, with two on and none down, and made things uncomfortablqfor Kuesell the rest of the afternoon. It was a game of hit and run on both sides. Matt Hynes, who tried to stage a comeback, lasted one inning and part of the second. Slim Love relieved Hynes. and with faultless fielding would have shut them out. Gait took the last three frames for Dillon, and in the last two the Sox made their only twin hits of the game. Dillon said he would soon begin to weed out. but that it was a hard job. Dutch Hoffman, a good catcher, but a poor hitter, will be turned loose. Dillon will keep six pitchers and six infielders. Boles and Brooks are secure. Dillon's hardest job is to choose between Meek and Meusel. Harry Harper will be one of the out fielders to go. Schalf. the White Sox catcher, was ordered from the field after an alter cation with Umpire Finney, during which he struck the umpire. Score: R.H. E. R.H. E.

Not a wheel was turned by the Seals today and the 20 men who were brought in from Boyes Springs, by Boss Wolverton had an entire day to them selves. "Wet grounds," was the sign that had to be hoisted out at Recreation Park, after the drizzling rain of the night and with no chance for even so much as a practice, the boys were told to while away the time as they might see fit. Bugs Reisigl and Hub Pernoll may get a whirl tomorrow afternoon, weather permitting. Reisigl's shoulder is still bothersome and the pitcher ex pressed doubt as to whether he can throw to advantage. It is likely that he will be tried and if the shoulder is still painful, he will be speedily benched. HAPPY GIVES TIGERS REST t A'enice Manager Pleased With Show ing of His Charges Against Sox. SAN DIEGO, Cal.. March 12. (Special.) The Venice Tigers did only light work yesterday at the exposition grounds, as Hogan thought he would give them a let-up from hard work because of the fine showing they made against the Sox. All the men were out. Ris berg worked at short and Gleischmajin was tried in the outfield. He has a good arm and looked good on a fly ball. Koestner has not shown up and not expected for another week. J , decided which squad was to be champion. The heavyweight affair, between Frank Busch, of the West Slders, and Edwin Strowbrldge, of the Washington High, was the most exciting and pro duced more applause from the specta tors than most of the Seattle-Portland interclub bouts. !Buscn tipped the beam at 190 pounds, while his adver sary weighed around 178 pounds. Both . Football Players. Both are football players and their tactics clearly showed that they are more adapted to football than to wrestling. Strowbrldge was quicker and downed his opponent the first time in 2:48. By the time the second fall came Busch had recuperated, but Strowbrldge - won on aggressiveness after six minutes of sensational work. The surprise of the day was the de feat of Clarence Johnson by Fred Horn ing, of Lincoln. Horning took the first fall by aggressiveness in 6 minutes and the second in 5:22. Wallace McTarnahan, one of last sea son's mainstays of " the Ilailsplitters, took two bouts. He won his 135 pound event from Suit, but It required all three falls to obtain it. By throw ing Suit in 5:01 in the last bout the trophy went to Lincoln High. First Bout Forfeited. The first bout, between Van Zandt, of Lincoln, and Russell Vis, of Wash ington, was forfeited because of over weight on the part of the Llncolnite. Undine was scheduled to appear against Vis, but ho was unable to take part and Van Zandt was substituted. Both boys were willing to go on and Vis took two straight falls.
