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.

weighing 176 pounds, and with a pair

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

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

game against the Mackmen and Mickey

BIG SHAG IIUXT IS PLANNED

NEWPORT, Or.. March 21. (Special.)
A petition has been addressed to Carl
D. Shoemaker. State Game Warden, by
the Newport Rod and Gun Club, asking
that an open season be declared on
shags in this county till July 1, 1916.
These birds subsist entirely on small
fish and they are responsible annually
for the destruction of thousands of
salmon, trout and other food fish.
There are hundreds of them feeding
on fish in Yaquina. Alsea and Siletz
bays and other waters.
Permission has been granted to
sportsmen in Coos County to kill these
shags during the above season and the

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.
