Player Is Told to Report
V
t- on March
BY KOSCOE FAWCETT.
After everybody had figured that
"Walter McCredie was through signing
players for his 1916 Portland ball club,
the big- manager went out yesterday
and corralled Byron Houck, former
Philadelphia Athletics right-hand
pitcher.
llouck was one of the men set free
by the Federal League following the
peace compact. He jumped Phila
delphia to go to "the Brooklyn Feds two
years ago.
Under the terms of the peace proto
col. Philadelphia had the right to go
out and sign Houck. but Connie Mack
either had troubles enough on his hands
or else he forgot about it, for no con
tract was sent to Houck by anybody.
As a club must tender contracts to
Its players by March 1. Houck became
automatically free yesterday, and his
signing with Portland was the result.
Walter McCredie thinks that Houck
will make good In the Pacific Coast
I-eague. He is a big fellow, weighing
about 190 pounds, and is not more than
i'5 or 26 years old, despite his experience
in the majors.
Last year Brooklyn had him planted
a ft manager of one of its clubs in the
Colonial League, and Houck proved a
winning pitcher. The official records
show that he won 14 and lost eight for
New Haven and Pawtucket, and aver
aged fewer than three walks a game.
Houck formerly attended the Uni
versity of Oregon, and the attention he
attracted pitching for the varsity
finally earned him a berth at Spokane
in 1911. Spokane sold htm to Phila
delphia the following year and secured
ps a consideration in the transaction
Stanley Coveleskie.
Oddly, Coveleskie is now going back
to the majors, while Houck is traveling
in the reverse direction.
Portland holdouts who are not signed
to contracts by March 10 either will
have to walk to Spring camp or will
have to stand their own railway fare.
W. W. McCredie Hung down this
gauntlet, or whatever you're Inclined
to call it, as he perused a letter from
one of his recalcitrant ball stars yes
terday, "I intend to telegraph out transpor
tation on March 10, and only those
whose contracts are in my office will
pet railway tickets." said he. "After
that date players will ride at their
own expense.'
Quinn, of Syracuse, appears" to be the
most obstinate of the holdouts. Judge
McCredie says he tendered Quinn a
contract calling for more thaji double
what he received last year at Syracuse,
and that Quinn twice returned it to
him.
Other players unsigned are Haworth,
Portland; Sothoron. Pittsburg: Nixon.
Carnegie, Pa.; Southworth, Columbus;
Speas. Toledo, and the two new Cleve
land acquisitions, Wilie and Harstad.
Portland ball fans are wondering If
the new Coast League training rule is
ome sort of an elastic contraption or
whether Oakland has received special
league dispensation.
At their annual meeting weeks ago
the Coast League directors put a ban
:n earlier training than March 13. This
gives each club three weeks for con
ditioning. But there must be some sort of
joker attached because Rudy Kal'.io. a
local pitclrer, received a letter from
the Oakland club several days ago.
ordering him to report at Boyes Springs
March 5.
The letter bears the signature of
Harold Elliott, manager. Possibly
Kalllo was supposed to keep the letter
to himself, but he was not aware of the
league rule and showed it around.
The figures are there clearly defined
by typewriter March 5. What is the
answer?
CHRISTY MATHEWSON is preparing
for his 16th trip to the training:
zone of Sunland.
The question now is will this be his
last jaunt over Dixie's Spring border, or
"will he be able to foil Kate for a few
heasons longer by eliminating the mal
ady in his left shoulder, while boiling
out under Texas skies?
.
An InNtltution.
Matt we started to say. was a New
Tork institution. But he is also a Na
tional institution through the great
credit he has given his country's lead
ing sport.
But he is peculiarly a New Tork in
stitution, aa he has never pitched a ball
for any other major league club in his
entire career.
Joly. 1H4M).
Mathewson joined the Giants in July,
1300. and pitched his first game against
Brooklyn on July 17.
In that first battle he lasted but four
innings before a fusillade of swats
drove him to cover. Ho made three
Marts, that first campaign and each
"brotight him defeat. So his first year's
average was exactly and precisely .000.
m
The March of Time.
Matty has been going South with the
Oiants each Spring for so many years
that few can believe that this may be
his last journey to balldom's sun belt.
Youngsters, who from the bleachers
watched his first games, are now ap
proaching the rim of middle age. He
has gone along at such enduring, even
strides that few have noticed the march
of time.
In these 15 years of service Mathew
son has worked in over 500 games, an
average of ?5 games a year, and has
put away nearly 400 victories.
No wonder Giant fans will anxiously
scan reports on his condition aa they
read daily bulletins announcing the
progress of his work.

Bird Tagged at Corvallis in 1899
Found lead at Pendleton.
A china pheasant, found dead on &
barbed wire fence at Pendleton by
Marion Jack, State Fish and Game Com

on its leg to have been 17 years old.
The bird had been liberated from the

MILLER HAS 3 BOUTS
WELTERWEIGHT - TITLE MATCH
WITH O'COXXELl, PROPOSED.
St, Paul Man PraiHea Opponent and
Say, He Will Consider Coming
Mere for Boot at 148 Pounds.
Walter Miller will remain in Portland
for the next two or three days, but his
traveling- companion, Charley Cutler,
the Chicago heavyweight, left last
nipht for San Francisco.
The St. Paul wrestler, who defeated
Eddie O'Connell Tuesday night, will not
wrestfe again until he steps on the mat
with George Walker, the Canadian mid
dleweight champion, at Billings. Mont.,
about March 17. Then he will take on
Mike Yokel. 160-pound grappler, of
Salt Lake, on March 31.
After Yokel comes Pat Brown, of
Taylor Falls, Texas, at either Hous
ton, Texas, or Billings. Brown weighs
about 165 pounds.
"Will you make 148 pounds and
wrestle O'Connell for the welterweight
title?" This question was hurled at
the Minnesotan yesterday.
"Whin I get through with Walker,
Yokel and Brown, I will consider com
ing to Portland and taking on O'Con
nell at 148 pounds," replied Miller. "I
might have outweighed him Tuesday
night, but believe I can make the wel
terweight limit and still give him a
tough match. He is the most gentle
manly fellow I ever met and the wrest
ling game would, indeed, be grand if
there were more in it like him. I am
not exaggerating when I say that I
don't believe I have ever met a clev
erer matman."

STARS HERE TONIGHT
Uncle Sams Face Real Opposi

YOUNG PLAYERS SELECTED
League Champions, Undaunted by
Defeat at Seatt', to Put Full
Strength Against Picked Team
at Hippodrome Tonight.
Undaunted by a 14-to-6 walloping at
the hands of the Seattle ice hockey
team at Seattle Tuesday night. Manager
Savage is going to start the full
strength of the Uncle Sams against the
Ali-Stara of the Pacific Coast Ice
Hockey Association in the Portland Ice
Hippodrome tonight.
The ieague champions returned home
early yesterday morning and seem
none the worse (or their defeat. Tommy
Dunderdale was the only Uncle Sam
relieved during the fray and his place
was taken by Alf Barbour. Dunderdale
was feeling better last night and Man
ager Savage announced that his first
seven players would be out on the ice
tonight.
While no authentic word has been re
ceived in Portland, reports have it that
tester h'atricK. manager of the victoria
Aristocrats, is figuring on joining the
colors soon. The military authorities
in Victoria took over the Victoria arena
for regimental drill the first of last
month. Several other hockey players
of the Coast League are contemplating
going to the front.
m m m
James H. Rilance will have an op
portunity to show how well he can
handle a hockey game. The Portland
official has been judge of play in all
Dut one of the league games played in
the Portland Ice Hippodrome during
the laio-lb season, assisting Fred Ion,
of Seattle. Tonight, however, Rilance
will be the referee and he will have
Jack Robinson as an assistant.
m
President Frank Patrick sent word
south that Lehman, Cook and MacKay
would represent Vancouver in the All
Star team. Captain Foyston, Bernie
Morris. Edward Carpenter and Walker,
of Seattle; Sibby Nic-hol and Dubbie
Kerr, of Victoria. The reason that
Taylor, SI Griffis or Lester Patrick
were not selected is that youngsters
were chosen instead of the veterans.
This was done because the voung
players are more able to stand the gat'f
of such a game after the regular sea
son. Frank Patrick will be unable to
come to Portland with the team, but it
will be in charge of Pete Muldoon,
former Portland manager, but now of
Seattle.
The game tonight will start promptly
at 8:30 o'clock. The All-Star aggrega
tion will remain in Portland until after
the second match, which is slated for
the Hippodrome next Monday night.
