BEEBE AND PENNER
SOLD TO PORTLAND
Cleveland Sends Two Hurlers
to Beavers, to Intense De
, , light of McCredie.
YOUTH HAS FINE RECORD
Penner Winner in Class B and
lias Control With Ball Hard to
Hit as Shown by Figures.
Veteran Widely Known.
CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 21. Vice-president
MoRoy, of the Cleveland baseball
club, announced tonight that Pitchers
Fred Beebe and Kenneth Penner had
both been sold to the Portland club of
the Pacific Coast League, and that
First Baseman Ray Miller and Pitcner
Dickerson had been purchased from the
Columbus club of the American Associa
tion.
Beebe has been given his uncondi
tional release, but Penner i3 sold under
the optional agreement.
xne coming or Pitcher Kenneth pen
ner to Portland la the most pleasant
surprise that I have had in months
said Walter H. McCredie, manager of
me Portland Pacific Coast League club
when advised of the foregoing last
"igni. rrca jtseeDe was already our
property and of course I knew he
was coming."
The pitching record of Penner in
the Central Association, a Class B
league, last season shows why Boss
Walter is pleased.
Following is his 1916 record: IP 287
AB 1055. H 224, ER 45, BB 62, SO 165
W 22, L 11, average earned runs
,. nine innings 1.41.
per
"Penner is only a kid, about six
feet tall and heavy," continued Walter.
"Last year was his first in the profes
sional game. He was reared in Iowa
or Illinois. His record was so impres
sive that Cleveland took him over last
Fall and he participated in a couple of
games with the Indians. We have had
considerable correspondence with the
Cleveland club, but did not think we
had a chance to land this young fel
low. He shoula be a great help to the
TienVPrq flnri Ilia r m i t-i i-r m o rlri- K o
- first step in the building of the 1917
Portland club with which I hope to win
another pennant.
It was announced sometime ago that
Beebe would be a Beaver in the Spring.
Although 36 years old, Beebe is a smart
pitcher and should have three or four
more years of good pitching under the
old sweatband.
The announcement last night sort of
knocks in the head" the idea that
Portland was about to break off its
relations with Jim Dunn's Cleveland
club.
TIGERS JINX FOR RUBE EILIS
Batting Average Against Vernon In
Last Two Years Is Only .218.
Vernon or Venice, no matter what
name the Tigers go under.- has been
the -dinx club of the league for Rube
Kills, of the Los Angeles outfield trio.
For the last three years Ellis has been
slipping down the battfng average col
umn and the Tigers have caused most
of the slipping. In 1914, when Kill
batted around .320 against three of the
clubs in the league, he could bat only
.285 against Venice. And in the last
two years the Tigers have again held
him lower than any other club, Ellis
batting only .218 against Vernon in
1915 and 1916. Maggerfs .207 against
San Francisco in 1916 is the only case
where a Los Angeles outfielder has
made a poorer showing against a club
In the last three years.
The batting record of Ellis for three
years against the Tigers follows:
Ab. R. H. Pet.
1014 165 22 47 .285
1015 151 18 33 .L'lS
1U16 133 21 2a .218
Next to the Tigers, Oakland has done
the most towards spoiling Ellis" record
as a batter. His batting for three
years against the Oaks is as follows
Ab. R. H. Pet
1014 140 21 41 .293
lfU5 123 13 S3 .270
1019 1.3 25.41 .237
GAME AT THE DALLES PLANNED
Columbia Park Eleven May Play
for Independent Title New Year's.
Coach-Captain Ted Murphy has hopes
of taking his Columbia Park football
squad to The Dalles, Or., on New Year's
day for a match with The Dalletown
team. The Columbia Parkers are claim
ing the 1916 independent championship
of Oregon and Southwestern Washing
ton as a result of the 7-to-6 victory
over the Oregon City Athletic Associa
tion claimants last Sunday.

workout. If the contest is played it
will be the windup of the season for
both contingents. Definite word is ex
pected tomorrow.
LEWIS AND GRIFFITH DRAW
Briton Floors Ohloan in Sixth, but
Falls to Hold Big Lead.
CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 21. In 10
rapid-lire rounds tonight Ted Lewis, of
England, and Johnny Griffith, of Akron,
welterweights, fought to a. draw de
spite the fact that Lewis, in the sixth.
floored the Akronite and had him weak
and groggy in the seventh. Griffith
was the aggressor in the early rounds
and gained a lead on points up to the
cixth.
After the sixth and seventh, which
were Lewis' by a wide margin, Griffith
showed great recuperative powers and
battled the Englishman to a standstill,
the points he gained in the final three
rounds earning him a draw.

switches were made in the card yes

YOUNGSTER RULE HITS SPEC
Beavers Not Likely to Take Pitcher
Harkness to Camp.
According to Manager Walter Mc
Credie, of the Beavers, the "four
youngster rule" may keep Harvey
( bpec") Harkness from taking th
Spring training trip with Portland.
Harkness has asked the McCredies for
another trial, saying his arm feels fine
and that, in fact, there was never any
thing wrong with it.
I would .be glad to give Spec an
other tryout," said Boss Walter last
night, "but under the new regime we
must have several youngsters battlin
for places, which makes it hard fo
the veterans."

SALARY BASIS NOT FIXED
Phillies Finally . Succeed In Land
ing McGaffigan, Who Is Sent
Back in Draft From Phila
delphia American.
Ping Bodle, It Is said, still seems to
be at outs with the Philadelphia Amer
lean League club. Connie Mack bought
the famous slugger from the San Fran
cisco Pacific Coast League club late
last season. A few months ago Ping
was Itching for a chance to get back
in the major leagues. Bodie was said
to lavs been indignant at having been
sent back to the minors by Jimmy
Callahan, who managed the Chicago
White Sox during Bodies reign In the
big show.
It is said that one of Bodie's griev
ances is the fact that Manager Mack
has not written him a letter telling
about his purchase by the Athletics.
Another one is that someone told him
that he would get only 3000 from the
Philadelphia Americans. From Phila
delphia comes the news that Manager
Mack is not worrying in the least
about any threats made by Bodie as to
his not reporting when ordered to
do so.
Connie says he 'will write Bodie in
due time and that the salary he will
get will be larger than what he has
been getting for the past two years.
Connie will not have a dissatisfied
player on his payroll. He proved this
during the past two years when he
cut loose from star players, despite the
fact he knew these stars would go to
other clubs and play first-class base
ball. One thing Connie Mack will have
on his ball club Is perfect harmony.
No players with fancied grievances are
wanted around Shibe Park. Before Ping
gives out any more Interviews on al
leged grievances he should wait until
he gets word from Connie Mack.
Perhaps though Bodie was mis
quoted. .They do say that when Ping
played with the Chicago- White Sox
the writers arranged a lot of good
yarns and saddled them on Ping. Bodie
is a dandy object for a rainy-day story.
Perhaps the San Francisco boys have
also been using Ping for rainy-day
purposes. His Pinglets lives there, and
it is from the Seal Rocks city that all
his complaints are voiced.
The Phillies were ?lsarro!n tpd last
September when they failed to get In
fielder McGaffigan from Vernon in the
draft. McGaffigan fell to the lot of
the Athletics. After Roy Grover, the
second baseman of the Butte club, re
ported to Cornelius McGillicuddy he
was so well satisfied with the young
ster that he canceled the draft on-McGaffigan
and three other infielders.
That action resulted in the Phillies get
ting busy and McGaffigan has been
landed.
Moran does not intend to use this
lad in a regular position next season,
but he believes a year on the bench
will help him to develop a star. Fans
In Philadelphia are likely to take par
ticular interest In McGaffigan, as a
player turned down by one Quaker
City manager only to be picked up by
another. ,
The Mobile Southern League club has
announced the sale of Pitcher Tiller
("Pug") Cavet to the Nashville club.
Cavet formerly pitched for Detroit and
San Francisco.
Leopold Christopher Hoernschmeyer.
outfielder with the New York Yankees,
has petitioned a court in Cincinnati to
change his name to Lee Magee. This
is a preliminary to getting married.
Magee says everybody knows him by
that name anyway, and that it would
io embarrassing to his wife to be
known as Mrs. Hoernschmeyer, while
her husband is known as Lee Magee.
The Yankee outfielder will be married
to Miss Beatrice Rodgers, of Cincinnati,
some time this Winter.
Lee Magee formerly played with Se

CUB PILOT STUDENT
Fred Mitchell Has Long Record
of Baseball Success.
HANK BUTCHER BATS .377
Ex-Beaver Leads Western League
Hitters Al Baum Gives Big
Boost for Guisto in East.
Bender May Be Pilot.-
In view of the fact that the Chicago
Cubs will train In Pasadena this com
ing Spring and will play against the
Coast League clubs, a little "dope" on
Fred Mitchell, the new manager, may
interest Pacific Coast fans.
Mitchell Is a nom de diamond. His
real name is Fred Yapp. When he nrst
reported to the Boston Americans
Jimmy Collins induced him to, change
his name, fearing that such Jibes as
Close your yap." etc, might drive the
youngster out of baseball.
Almost unknown to tne general run
of fans, Mitchell long nas oeen ik5
nized in baseball's inner circles as one
of the keenest students of the Na
tional nastlme in the business, stau-
Ings gave him credit for much of the
success of Bill James. Tyler and Ru
dolph in 1914 when the Boston Na
tionals won the pennant.
Before converting himseir into a
catcher, Mitchell was a pitcner wun
the Boston Red Sox and Athletics. His
experience in the box enabled him to
give valuable tips to Stallings' pitch
ers. In Stallings' absence he always
had charge of the Braves.
Mitchell was catching lor uuriaio in
the International League when Mail
ings took him to Boston in 1913.
Mitchell was born In the Aiiston
section of Boston 39 years ago. Later
the family moved, to Concord, N. H.,
where Fred played semi-professional
ball. He was twirling for the Law
rence club of the Eastern league when
Collins eot him for the Boston Sox.
Chicago traded Outfielder Joe iveny
to Stallings for Mitchell and gave a
cash bonus,- said to have been J5000.
Hank Butcher, who once tried out
with Portland and proved a flivver,
led the Western League batsmen last
year with the grandiose average of
377. About one-third tne players in
the league batted more than .300. how
ever, so Hank's feat hardly stamps him
as a Cobb or a Speaker.
Several other ex-Coast Leaguers who
couldn't hold their jobs here lambasted
the sphere at a terrific clip in the
Western.
Bert Coy. former Oak. hit .350 for
Wichita; Krueger hit .335 for Omaha'
Krause hit .325 for Omaha; Lober .313
for Lincoln; Hetllng .310 and Litschi
309 for Wichita; Carlisle .304 for Lin
coin and Meloan .293 for Des Moines.
Bill Abstein, former Angel who
couldn't even stick with Seattle, fin
ished the season at Wichita and hit
.248.
Al Baum, Coast League president,
gave Louis Guisto a good boost at
Chicago recently. Prexy Als state
ment is reprinted from the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, as follows:
"Guisto," aaid Baum, "Is rally a high
class ball player. It he had reported to the
Indians as soon as he was sold there would
have been nothlnir to it. He would have
established himself in popular favor without
delay. The trouble with Louis was that he
balked too long: over the terms and re
mained out of the same for three weeks.
Then, it was more than a week after he left
Portland before he got into a uniform. From
what I hear he was many pounds overweight
and could not do nlmselr Justice, and sus
talned a lame back Just u he was rounding
into form. But he will hit for Cleveland
and he will wake 'em up with his work
around first base.
Although it was announced some
time ago that Chief Bender had been
named manager of the Toronto club,
President Ed Barrow, of the Interna
tional League, says "no," or at least
"not yet." Barrow says Toronto has
