Br roscoe fawcett. rORTLAXD TRAINING CAMP, Sac ramento. Cal., March 21. (Special With the opening of the Pacific Coast League less than two weeks off. there is a growing- apprehension in the Port land camp that Walt McCredie's twirl ers will not bo primed for heavy going. Byron Houck. the former Philadel phia Athletic, is nursing a rather lame wing and unquestionably cannot be right for another three weeks at the minimum. The same is true of Allen .Sothoron. the new right-hander who came from the St. Louis club last Mon day night. Sothoron has not pitched a ball since last October and he admits he is not "right" for the first month in tha Spring. Clark Has Sore Wing. To add to the corrugations on Man ager McCredie's highly bronzed brow. James "Judge" Clark, the Northwest League phenom, began to feel shooting pains in his right shoulder today. Clark reported in better condition than any of the pitchers. He attributes his sore wing to a cold contracted during the brief Arctic spell the latter part of last week. . Lyle Bigbee is another of the slab bing crew with a crick in his salary flipper. Of course, if Irve Higginbotham, Johnny Lush and Wynn Novps retain their present sang froid. . J. if big J Oscar Harstad rounds into shape with some "stuff" on the ball, McCredie might be able to wriggle through a couple of weeks of April minus some of his pitching corps. But, should the Beavers be so unfor tunate as to run into cold and weepy weather during the first two weeks at San Francisco, the consequences might be disastrous. Young Pitchers Deserve Trial, p Analyzing the situation. Manager Mack finds himself in somewhat of a quandary. He does not want to bring on more pitchers from the East until be has given such men as Houck, Sothoron and Clark ample opportunity to make good. They are all young fel lows with Just enough experience to ripen them this season. And yet well, what would you do under these cir cumstances? Take Houck, for example. Connie Mack kept Houck on his world's cham pionship team for the greater part of three seasons, nursing him along while he was acquiring control. There wasn't a more formidable twirler in the big league when Byron could find the plate. Houck has now pitched two years since he jumped Mack to go to the Fed eral League, and his record last season in the Colonial circuit minute, though it were leads one to believe that Houck can win in the Coast League, lioock Only Wants Chance. "Give me a chance until April 20 and I will show the Portland management that I have the stuff." said Houck to day. "It would be unwise for me to attempt to hurry my conditioning. If the training season had been four weeks long instead of three it would have helped my cause." Houck realizes that his weakness and foibles of the past are known to his employers and that his whole future depends in great measure upon what he shows the first few weeks of the year. awiaoron, -xne new twirler, is a chunky young fellow of 23 vears. weighing 176 pounds, and with a pair or legs under him that remind of Johnny Lush's. He twirled for Ham Patterson's club, at Wichita, in the Western League, last season. Sothoron says he could have landed a job on the Vernon team. Fielder Jones would not permit the deal to be made until Portland had been given first chance. South-north and Bisbee Hit Hard. This forenoon the Portland athletes lolled through their usual training paces. There was some hitting and bunting practice and a lively fielding scrimmage. After lunch the Sacra mento High School team overran the field, the sun emerged again and the Beavers were sent against the young sters in an abbreviated game. A triple by Southworth and Lyle Big bee's home run drive to deep center were the only spectacular features. Irve Higginbotbam and Wynn Noyes lobtfed them up for the professionals. With Outfielder Wilie and Infielder Vaughn due in camp tomorrow the roster will be complete and training will settle down to its final stages. Wilie has been working with -a col lege team at Waco, Tex., and Vaughn is also said to be in fair condition. On Saturday and Sunday the Portland club will stack up against a local picked aggregation, known as the Cas cades. Cack Henley will twirl one game against the Mackmen and Mickey La Longe will do the receiving. FRANK CnAXCE DOXS CXIFORM Angel Manager Thinks Zabel Will Be One of Team's Mainstays.

Iligg-inbotham, Lush, Noyes, Harsta and Clark Will Compete for Place on Mound Only Two Catch ers Are to Be Carried. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Sac ramento, Cal., March' 21. (Special.) Although the official opening of th Pacific Coast League is two weeks away, and two weeks sometimes works tragedies in the dope sneets of Sprin camp ballplayers, it is fairly certai that the following athletes will start the year as regulars on the Portland club: Catchers Fisher and Haworth. Pitchers Higginbotham, Lush, Noyes, Harstad. Clark. Infielders Quinn, Vaughn, Ward, Stumpf, Hollacher, Guisto. Outfielders Speas, Nixon, South worth. Wilie. Manager McCredie likely will carry two more pitchers for the first month and the fight for these positions will lie between Houck and Sothoron, two experienced ringsters. and the recruits Dunn, Lyle Bigbee, Indian tjmitn ana Peek. Houck and Bigbee Are Sore. Byron Houck and Bigbee both form er University of Oregon athletes have been nursing lame arms, so it is dif flcult to draw any lines on them. To Bigbee was advanced $200 on his sal ary when he signed, so he is sure to be on the payroll for one month any way if not sent to some Northwes League club in the Interim. Sothoron is the right-hander ob tained from Fielder Jones' St. Louis club. He toiled last season in the Western League. Three of those named as regular; Higginbotham. Lush and Noyes are holdovers from last season s team. Harstad and Clark are newcomers with sufficient experience in the Northwest League at Vancouver to polish off the roughness. Harstad won 13 out of 15 games in 1914 and last year was at Cleveland as a relief pitcher. Clark did not have a good season last Sum mer in the Northwest circuit but Wal er McCredie is extremely pleased with his showing in camp. Clark is an intelligent, hard-working fellow, and if he pitches as he did in 1912, 1913 and 1914 at Vancouver he will fill the bill. Reserve IMtcber Supply Ivept. Manager McCredie has a couple of pitchers in the big leagues under cover for emergency purposes, but it is not believed that he will call for help until it is shown that his present corps is not up to caliber. Inasmuch as Mack Intends to carry only two catchers, new jobs will have o be found for Al Bartholemy and Art Black, the young catchers. It is Mc Credie's intention to turn one or both of them over to Nick AVilliams Spo kane club. "Bart" is fairly certain to land. Black is a little fellow but agile and promising. With "the regular infield Quinn, Vaughn. Ward and Stumpf practically an open and shut proposition, the sole perplexity concerns the four youthful candidates Hollacher, Guisto, Carson Bigbee and Derham. All but Guisto are left-hand batters. Mollaeher May Land I I J 1 1 y. Guisto is sure to be kept for a few weeks, but as he is too big and in experienced for any infield position ex cept first base, it will be necessary for Manager Mack to have another in field utility player on the bench. Hol lacher, likely, will draw the prize, be cause he has had one year in profes sional ball. As in the case of his brother, "Skeet" Bigbee is paid ahead for one month's labor, so he has that much in velvet anyway. Every one of these young fellows is worth watch ing. and, if possible. Mack will "farm' them out somewhere for development. Cullen is the only outfield candidate aside from the four men figured as regulars. With Speas. Wilie. South worth and Nixon in harness all heavy hitting, experienced talent there doesn't appear to be much room for "Cullie." promising though he may be. He is another youngster who will bear watching. Hollacher. Vaughn and Stumpf can play any of the three infield positions second, short or third. Stumpf will start the season at third base. SMALL TROUT BRIXG ARREST Hood River Commercial Club Direc tor Admits Violating Game Law. HOOD RIVER, Or.. March 21. (Spe cial.)

In the Spring of 1905 Thielman was traded the St- Louis Nationals for Larry McLean, who had been going bad. Thielman was at that time going like a ouse afire on the Coast, and several big league clubs were after him. Thielman remained with the St. Louis ub during the 1905 season and up un til the latter part of the 1906 season, when he was farmed out to the In dianapolis club of the American Asso ciation.
