Newspaper Page Text14 THE 3IORXTXG O vXfRIDAT, JANUARY ,"5, 1917. 5,1 1 SACRAMENTO MAY CHOICE BE SEALS' Portland Likely to- Have to Look Elsewhere for Spring Training Camp. OAKS PICK BOYES SPRINGS Howard Has Iran Olson, Getz, Shee han, Smyth, Hess, Murphy, Col trln, Mensor, Lee, Miller and 3 Pitchers as Recruits. I BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. PAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 4. (Special.) It begins to look as though Portland will have to seek out a new Spring training camp for its ball club. Henry Berry, the owner of the San Francisco Coast Club, left this morning for Sac ramento to Investigate the situation there, and some of those close to him believe he will choose the Capital City as the ideal place to condition his Seals. Portland trained at Sacramento last l-prlng and found conditions ideal. The Beavers ran into rain only once during the entire three weeks and that was merely a sprinkle. While the town did not pack the stands for the exhibition Barnes. Walter McCredie expressed himself as satisfied at the conclusion of the training period, and it had been generally, understood that Portland would go back to Sacramento this coming March. If San Francisco passes up Sacra mento the Seals undoubtedly will train at San Jose. This hustling burg gave Henry Berry a purse of ?750 last year as an inducement. Oakland will do its' training at Boyes flot Springs, according to an announce ment today by Del Howard. Del grot into town last night from Paso Robles, where he owns a ranch. "We have some new men coming from Brooklyn," said Del to the writer today. "When these negotiations are complet ed I think we will have a good ball club." Ivan Olson, former Beaver, and Getz are infielders the Brooklyns have promised Howard to help fill the va cancy created by Kenworthy's draft by St. Louie. Sheehan, of Toronto; Smyth, of Montreal, and Hess, a youngster who was with the White Sox for a time last year, are also prospects. Barry will hold over at first base. Murphy is available for third base duty and Del also has signed Bobby Coltrin, of the Spokane club; for a trial. Bobby has no peer on the Coast in his fielding, but hie stick work has heretofore kept him out of faster company. Eddie Mensor, of Spokane, Is being doped for the utility berth. Oakland's outfield consists of Billy Lane, Middle ton, Lee, of Nashville, and Miller, of Winnipeg. New pitchers are Colwell and Goodbred, from Montreal, and James Buckles, a southpaw from Scranton. Prough, Burns, Boyd, Beer and Kinney comprise Howard's pitching hold-overs. ' v A majority of Oregon's victorious footballers are sojourning in San Fran cisco for a day or two, and the boys are receiving as much attention as a rajah. Hugo BezaeK received a telegram oi congratulation yesterday from Coach Harper, of Notre Dame. Harper offered Oregon a game in Chicago on Thanksgiving day next Fall against Notre Dame. Oregon is booked to meet the Oregon Aggies next Turkey day in Portland, so Coach Bezdek was obliged to de cline the Notre Dame offer. "However, we will be glad to meet them in Chicago the second Saturday after Thanksgiving, providing the faculty acquiesces," said Bez in his reply as he boarded a train today for Eugene. San Francisco is allve with Fort land people. "I believe there were fully 15Q0 Port land folk here for New Tear's," said Sol Blumauer today. W. D. Skinner, prominent Portland railroad man, left this afternoon on a trip to Honolulu. John Twohy leaves tonight for the South. Mrs. Gay Lom bard expects to remain her for the Winter. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rothschild will return home late in the week. Russell Smith, Northwest golf cham pion, turned in 75 score .at the Presidio links the other day. He plans to go down to Del Monte early In the week. BEAVERS OT YET DECIDED McCredie to Write to Sacramento To day About Spring Camp. Despite the fact that Henry Berry, owner of the San Francisco club, left San Francisco yesterday morning to look over the situation at Sacramento in view of having the Seals train there, ' Manager Walter Henry McCredie, of the Beavers, will write today to Glen Andrus. secretary of the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, who tele graphed Manager Mack Wednesday asking that the Portland club be cart ed to the California capital again this Spring. Boss Walter will tell the Sacramento people under what conditions the Mack men will go to Sacramento. Stockton, Marysville, Paso Robles. Monterey and a couple of other California burgs want the Beavers. Manager McCredie does not seem the least bit worried about the situation, Scout James J. Richardson, of the Beavers, has signed Pitcher Clow, "busher" from Bend, buit he is encoun tering a little difficulty in landing Infielder "Bud Estes, of Prmeville These two youngsters will be shipped to the Northwestern League for season lng.
