ARRIVE FOR FRAY

at Pasadena and Appear
Fit for Big Clash.

Experts Kay Wet Field New Year's
Day Will Increase Chances or
Oregon's Winning Contest
by at Least 2 3 Per Cent.
PASADENA, Cal., Dec 27. (Special.)
The flower-bodeeked ciyi of Pasa
dena was turned into a football camp
today when two big football elevens
arrived for the annual East versus
West game New Year's Day.
The University of Oregon eleven ar
rived at 10 o'clock thiu morning, while
Pennsylvania's eleven made its en
trance at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Rousing receptions were given both
teams by Pasadena officials and citi
zens, but it was plainly evident South
ern California is loyal to the Western
team.
The Oregonians were taken to Tour
nament Park immediately after lunch,
but Coach Bezdek's plans for an after
noon of practice were upset by a whole
army of photographers.
Oregon Stars Pose for Pictures.
Bezdek was finally convinced that it
was impossible to stage a scrimmage
with about 673 snap-shot artists run
ning interference for his men, so work
was called off for half an hour and the
stars of the team were posed for hun
dreds of pictures by the camera men.
By 2 o'clock the field was cleared
and Bezdek raced up and down the
field behind his men, goading them on
at a furious pace. Fear that the inac
tion of the two days' train ride would
affect the condition of the men was
tpeedily dispelled, as they finished their
first tour of the field breathing easily.
While Oregon was working, the
Pennsylvania team on its special train
slipped into the city and was quickly
transported to the Hotel Raymond,
where the men will stay during the
time they are here. Coach Folwell
wasted little ceremony in ordering his
men into their football suits.
Coach 1 "olv ell Worried.
The Pennsylvania team has been on
the road six days and Folwell was gen
uinely alarmed over the effect of the
trip. He had expected to reach Pasa
dena Tuesday and figured on at least
a six-day training period. Now he will
have but four.
A grin overspread the features of
Coach Bezdek when he was asked now
his team's chances were against Penn
sylvania New Year's Day.
The Oregonians arrived 27 strong
under the leadership of Coach Bezdek
and Trainer Hayward.
Mr. Bezdek is filled with optimism;
he sees rain in the air for New Year's
day and all the experts agree that Or
egon's chances will be increased 25
per cent by a wet field.
Five minutes after they arrived in
Los Angeles the Oregonians were on
their way to Pasadena.
The Pennsylvania coach put his men
through a light practice this afternoon
but said lie would give them a hard
workout tomorrow.
Oregon Team Averages Well.
The Oregon team sizes up well. The
men are about the same height and
weight.
The strongest line-up of each team
will be in the field, according to an
nouncements by the respective coaches
and neither one, it was said, will have
an alibi to offer after the game next
Tuesday.
The Pennsylvania team did its work
on the golf links of the Hotel Raymond.
In a message to a Los Angeles new
paper from Boston, Eddie Mahan, for
mer Ha.vard star, back from coaching
the University X California eleven, said
today that i'eupsMU'ania would find
Oregon a truujli nWyi. i,t.
"It is likely to, rain." he continued,
"and on a wet fisld the Oregon team
will be more at home than the Penn
sylvania player3Jor Bezdek's team has
played nearly every game in the rain.
The Oregon players are all the same
. size and one of the greatest looking
squads I have ever seen. The back
field men are all husky and as big as
ine line, xney are much older than the
college players in the East, but the
style of play is practically the same."
Game No Cinch for Easterners.
"If the Pennsylvania team thinks It
Is going to have a cinch," he contin
ued, "it is likely to receive a big sur
prise." Tomorrow the Pennsylvania mentor
and his men will go to Tournament
Park, where Coach Folwell will send
the team throug.i a stiff workout in
cluding scrimmage.
Like Coach Bezdek, Coach Folwell
plans to give his men heavy work to
morrow and Friday, taper off with
light work Saturday with a complete
rest Sunday.
At a meeting tonight, the coaches
named officials for the big ; ame Mon
day. The Eastern players were housed
at the Raymond tonight at the formal
opening of the hotel for this Winter.
The Oregonians were similarly en
tertained at the Maryland.

Evans' amateur standing will not be
affected, it was explained, as he will
not receive any money for his services.
He merely will be a guest of President
Weeghman on the trip.
Mr. Weeghman believes that Evans
will be able to improve the batting of
every player on the team.

way of a belated Christmas gift to the
baseball followers of San Francisco:
One new first baseman; one brand
new first-string catcher; two other new
faces yet to be announced; perhaps an
other pitcher of big league caliber, and
a couple of trades that will permit the
club to get down to the limit.
So far as mentioning names and tell
ing us just what's what. Manager Wol
verton is an absolute blank.
"Now, the acquisition of new men for
the places I have named doesn't nec
essarily mean the old players will be
missing," said Manager Wolverton to
day. "For instance. Bill Speas will re
port to the club in the Spring, and so
will Sepulveda and Clarence Brooks.
"Our pitching staff looks good to me.
There will be Stroud, Baum, Erickson,
Oldham, Dougherty, whom we drafted
from the New York State League;
Brown. Steen and Kallio from whom to
pick a staff.
"My reports have It that Dougherty
is already big-league timber. Kallio,
I think, was all pitched out when he
joined the team, and you didn't see his
curve.
"Baum will spring a surprise on the
fans. Charlie has picked up 12 pounds
this Winter, and never before has he
gained weight in the Winter months.
He has been pitching in leisurely fash
ion twice a week ever since he has
been in the mountains, as he thinks
that it will aid him in getting into
shape faster in the Spring.
"Downs and Corhan look like fixtures
around the keystone sack. At third
we can use Maisel, or, for that matter,
he will be available for the outfield.
Maisel is a .300 hitter and ought to
help the team on the aggressive.
"Our outfielders at present include
Fitzgerald, Schaller and Calvo."
MAGGERT BATS WELL
ANGEL, OUTFIELDER'S RECORD FOR
THREE YEARS SCANNED.
During Past Season 'Veteran Hits .350
Against Salt Lake and .303
Against Portland Beavers.
Sacramento In 1914 and Its successor,
Salt Lake, have been the best boosters
for Maggert, veteran Los Angeles out
fielder, when it has come to keeping
his batting record up for the last three
years. Maggert has batted more than
.300 each year against Sacramento and
Salt Lake, running as high as .389 in
1915 and only as low as .329 in 1914.
Portland has also been much to Mag-gei-t'tj
liking, for he has never batted
below .300 for a year in the last three
seasons against the Beavers. But his
record against Portland has not been
up to the high figures of his record
against Sacramento and Salt Lake.
Maggert's batting for three years
against Sacramento In 1914 and Salt
Lake in 1915 and 1916 follows:
Ab. R. H. P.C.
1014 140 28 44 .329
1915 144 32 56 .389
1910 137 35 48 .3o0
Maggert's batting for three years

Pitchers in the New York State
League are ranked according to the
batting average of their opponents. No
account is taken of runs earned per
nine-inning game, as In the major
leagues. Pacific Coast League and many
other organizations. Helfrlch's op
ponents averaged .272 against him,
ranking him 40th in a field of 50 pitch
ers. His batting average was .133.
That would not indicate that he was
the most efficient twirler in the world
when it comes to holding the opposi
tion down to low-hit affairs, but the
fact that he finished with a percentage
of .636 in victories and losses with a
clirb that ranked seventh In team bat
ting and fifth in team fielding and fin
ished deep in the second division 'eads
to the belief that he must be one of
those nervy pill propellers who are
mighty hard to connect with In the
pinches.
Walter McCredie says that Helfrich
has accepted terms and that he has
closed with the Harrisburg manage
ment. A contract is on its way now
to the young pitcher. Helfrich has ad
vised the McCredies that he wishes to
play on the Coast. He has relatives in
this vicinity.
The fact that Pitcher Helfrich was
overlooked in the draft by major
league clubs, despite his great record
with Harrisburg, tends to make one
believe that he must have some pe
culiarity about his pitching.
He may be a duplicate In some re
spects of Pitcher Harvey "Suds" Suth
erland, the Portland boy who won 16
straight games for the Tacoma North
western League club and finished head
and shoulders over any other young
pitcher in that league at the close of
the 1916 campaign.
The writer saw Sutherland pitch a
game against Spokane at Tacoma last
July. He threw "em by the Indians so
fast, looked so great perched out on
the hillock and finished so strong that
afternoon that he would have sent the
most pessimistic foxy forager repre
senting a big league into ecstacies. He
looked good that day because the pennant-winning
tribe was not getting on
first base and won his game, 7 to 1.
But those who have followed "Suds"
since he was a youngster on the sand
lots at Lents know his great fault,
which has perhaps kept him out of the
majors this season. His freak wifld-up
does not allow him to keep men on
first base and the catchers cuss every
time a runner reaches the initial cor
ner. They know that they must throw
accurate and true or the hated rivals
will steal their gloves.
