TWO TWIRLERS LOOK GOOD Vortland Chief Says 1917 Pitching Staff Will Probably Be Built Around Fred Beebe and Ken Pcnner, of Marshalltown. BY HARRY M. GRAYSON. Walter McCredie Jammed his 230 pounds into a leather-bound rocking chair in his billiard parlor -last night. .pulled his famous black derby down over one eye and looked for all the I world like one who had bet on Penn sylvania against Oregon. "What's the trouble; got a bad cold or worrying over the pitching situa tion?" aueried the writer. "Neither." was the prompt reply. . "It's first base that's bothering me now.' And the Portland leader went on to say how hard first basemen were to find. He told the old story of his plans . of converting Outfielder Kenneth Will iams Into & sruardian of the initial corner if a suitable candidate cannot be obtained from Cleveland or dug up in soma minor league. "You know." continued the manager, '1 like two pitchers who are coming out here this Spring. One is a veteran and the other a youngster. I believe that the 1917 Beaver flinging corps will be built around Fred Beebe, the hero of many campaigns, and Kenneth Penner the Marshalltown bean-pole. who comes here via Cleveland. "If Beebe can come out here and nitch the kind of ball that Irve Hlggin- botham pitched for us in 1914. when we won the pennant practically through his work, he will be a great help. This fellow Penner is a big six-footer who won 22 and lost 11 games during 1916 with the Marshalltown team of the Central Association. Frank Boyle. manager of that team, is quoted as saying that Penner is the greatest young right-hander he ever saw. Pen ner led the association in effectiveness. with only 1.41 earned runs scored off him per nine innings. His 22 wins with & club that trailed along in the race speaks well of his ability. When one reviews the Beaver pitch . Ing situation he finds that Manager McCredie is not as bad off as it would seem. He has Holdovers Byron Houck. Herb Kelly and Lyle Bigbee: Penner, Beebe. Mark Higbee of Qulncy: Al Leake, of Rocky Mount, and Tom Helf rich, of Harrisburg. Besides these he has several pitching "bushers.' There is some little doubt as to whether Beebe will report. This will not be determined until the McCredies mail out their contracts in March Walter nuts it: "We can alwsyi As I use 1 . eood pitchers and of course I will wet come any I can get. but if none are available -well start Just the way we are now situated.' But you fans who know Walter Mc Credie keep your ears to tne grouna for the foxy manager always has some thing up his sleeve and may announce the signing of another good man today I for all we know. I Guess who may be a Beaver next Spring? No one but Floyd Farmer, the 22-year-old kid who broke in so sensationally with the Pittsburg N- tional League club last year. Farmer Charlie Graham both promised aesist c&me to Pittsburg from the Louisville I ance in the way of staging games, and club of the American Association, where he played the outfield so well and hit so consistently around .300 that he was taken over by Barney Dreyfuss & Co. Here's his record with Pittsburg after Joining the National Leaguers: G. 65. AB. 1S6. R. 10. H. 45, TB. 69, 2b 6. 3b. 4. SH. 6. SB. 1. batting average 271. He played the outfield and pas timed for 31 games at second base, with a fielding mark of .929. Before being with Louisville he was In the Southern League. Farmer is a big fellow, can run the bases and has prlved that he can play In either 'the telegraphed me the othe, -day a sk inner or outer works. ln(fwhre w wep" E,oig- ."Lf"!r McCredie's tongue slipped yesterday when he said to Fielder Jones, Man ager of the St Louis Americans, in the presence of the writer: "Say, Field er, what do you know about Floyd Farmer?" Fielder has also been watch ing the young phenom and expressed himself favorably. Walter McCredie denied that he had .dickered for Farmer. When asked if Pittsburg was under any obligation to him for the transfer of Carson Big bee to that club by Tacoma the well known pennant grabber said that the Smokv City layout was not. But it has long been suspected by those on the Inside that some day someone from the "Pirates would float out here in return for the great University of Oregon boy who was sent to Russ Hall by Portland and later sold to Pittsburg for a report ed amount of 15000. Pittsburg has announced its inten tion of "farming out Mr. Farmer. Wal ter McCredie is digging Into his past record. Bigbee went to Pittsburg from Portland via Tacoma. Take it or leave it, as you please. The coming of Farmer to Portland may not have anything to do with the Bigbee deal. He may come here under an optional asrreement. However, we have a "hunch" that Pittsburg is right now endeavoring to get waivers on the boy with the agricultural name. GOLF PROFESSIONAL! IS VISITOR Walter G.

GUARANTEE IS ASKED San Francisco Manager Is Confident Spring Training Games at Buf falo Park Will More Tban Care For Team's Expenses. SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 6. (Special.) an Francisco's Seals will train this Spring at Sacramento, uslns; Buffalo Park for conditioning the athletes and for jIaylng; the fames that are to be scheduled. Henry Berry, who returned tonight from Sacramento, announced that he had reached a definite agree ment with the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, business men and the base ball people. No guarantee was asked, as air. Ber ry is satisfied the Spring training games will more than care for the ex- penses of keeping the team together. Mr. Berry talked with members 01 the Chamber of Commerce and found the business men alive to the value of having a big league team with them for a month. Charlie Doyle an Buffalo Park, the old home of the coasters, will be thrown wide open to the visitors. The park is in good shape and Berry argues that the community, which is strong for baseball, will support the team in good shape. San Jose. Stockton and Paso Kouies were also in the field, but accessibil ity, climatic conditions and population helped Sacramento. "I had a hunch that Henry Berry in tended to train at Sacramento when jvicijreaie, wnen aaviscu i .it3 iui in going over the telephone last night. It suits me and I trust tne seals nave better success with the gate receipts than we had last season. Portland will tram at either Stock ton.

Only to day I wrote the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce about Portland going there. I'll decide on the training site when T go to the meeting, which will undoubtedly be called by President Baum about January 15 at San Fran cisco." Of course there is still a possibility of the Beavers conditioning in Hono lulu, but this is not likely. The repre sentatives of the heads of the venture in Kanaka land who was here wrote to Honolulu telling what the McCredies wanted and asked that their answer be cabled. It may be that the letter has not yet reached its destination, but in all events the McCredies have heard nothing of it. Those who watch affairs closely be lieve that Manager McCredie will carry his athletes to Stockton in the Spring.

Another championship of the Pa cific Coast Ice Hockey Association will I repose in the trophy room of the Port land Ice Palace at the end of the 1916-17 season if the Portland Uncle Sams continue to show the goal-getting ability and the dash in their play for the remainder of the campaign. that they put up in the game against the Vancouver Millionaires last night in the Ice Palace. Final score: Portland 5. Vancouver 3. Losers Get Early Lead. The best part of the victory was the fact that the Uncle Sams "spotted the losers a three-point lead before they started on their drive and all the Oregon goals were scored in suc cession, one in the first period and two in each of the second and third cantos. The first point of the con test came within six minutes of play when Frank Patrick sagged the net after a pass from Dr. Gordon Roberts. It took but 10 seconds more of play to permit Moynes to shoot a Vancouver goal and. not to be content with this, the Canadians added their third and last marker by Barney Stanley after but little less than 13 minutes of play. Just when the 3000 fans started to sit back and watch the score mount higher and higher, the Uncle Sams called a halt, and from then on it was all Portland way. Dunderdale Scores First. Tommy Dunderdale took the puck from Dick Irv-ln and netted the first local score and when the first period ended the count stood 3 to 1 against Portland. Dunderdale had replaced Marples and when the second period opened he was still on the tee. Wltn 8 minutes and 25 seconds already his tory of the second canto.

MENKE. N' EW YORK. Jan. 5. (Special.) The door opened and "Dumb" Dan Morgan was In. "Greetings! Greetings!" he exclaimed.! Say do you kneav how many fights Battling Levinsky had in 1916? Forty one, yes sir, 41. That meant one scrap every nine days. Perpetual motion, ain't it?" "Is that a record for him? "Yep and a world's record, too." answered the boss of the hardest worked pug In America. "No real fighter In history ever fought that often in one year. Bat ought to be satisfied with that accomplishment But he isn't. Why. would yoi believe it, that son-of-a-gun is so anxious to fight 52 times during 1917 that he threatens to bang me all up and down Broadway if I don't get him that many matches." "How much did Bat earn during 19K real money, not press agent cur rency?' "Dumb" Dan was silent for a minute making mental calculations. C37.0OO Earned in Year. "Between $37,000 and $40,000 i-so help me gee whiz," he answered. "That's real, regular money. The fattest purse he drew down was $3600 when he fought Dillon in Kansas City. The lowest he got for any fight was $300, although he spent 30 minutes in New York one night beating up a poor boob and he didn't get a kopeck for It. The club couldn't pay. "How many fights has Bat had since you began managing him?" "Thirty-four in 1913. 36 in 1914. 28 in 1915 and 41 last year. That makes 139 in all. He was sick for a while in 1915 and, therefore, didn't fight as ften. But even at that he s got pretty good average. Let's see, 139 scraps in 208 weeks means about one battle every ten days, which is some record, hey?" "How much has Bat earned since you took him in hand?" About " "Hold on. Don't make a wild guess. SPORT WRITER, LOS ANGELES, GIVES OREGON FULL CREDIT Eugene Warriors Are Declared to Have Played Greatest Game Seen on Pacific Coast No Fluke Appears in Game. J. R. KLAWANS. former Univer sity of Chicago man and a capa ble football official, said in the Los Angeles Herald of Oregon's work the New Year's game: It was a long-range battle? of caval ry and sharpshooters. The Oregon team's barbed wire en tanglements kept the enemy away from the trenches. The heavy arliHery ' of the long- range punt, the rifle fire of the ior- ward pass and the raiding expeditions around the flanks tell the story of the Webfoot victory. Quarterback Shy Huntington was the head of the cavalry division. That big Oregon fullback. Hollls Huntington, was chief of artillery and Field Marshal Beckett was a Joffre-Halg-Von Hindenberg. And there you have the full story of what gave their fill to the Philadel- phians. the men who humbled tne cast.

He had all the appear ances of an automobile man. He walked up to the counter of the Imperial Hotel and wrote in bold letters "Barney Oldfleld, Pendleton." "Why. hello. Barney." said the greeter. "How comes it you're registering from the Roundup city? Dldn t know you were up there. Thought you had gone Into the business of constructing rac ing cars at Los Angeles." The srood-natured man from Pendle ton shuggged his shoulders and mum bled something about Pendleton being good enough for him. The greeter nasned the word along that the famous automobile racer was at the hotel, and pointed him out to several different Darties. The outcome was that Barney Old fleld of Pendleton, shook hands with good many persons who thought they were holding the mitt of the celebrated racinsr driver. Barney Oldfleld. of Pendleton, chuckled when asked about the prank last night. "I told 'em about the cafeterias in Los Angeles," he said. "The thing they missed the most in Barney was the absence of the cigar. Told them had become nervous from smoking so much and quit. Barney Oldfleld, of Pendleton, con ducts a garage there. He is in Port land on business, and will return to Pendleton Monday. Barney Oldfleld, the race driver, now in Los Angeles, whera ha is constructing racing cars, must have felt his ears burning yes terday. The public is getting suspicious con cerning the reported earnings of prize fighters. Pause a few moments for serious reflection, Dan and then let's have it." Career Nets 100,000. Dan paused, wrinkled his brow. scratched his hairless head and then said "About $100.00 maybe more. But it isn't less. I'm not exaggerating. During his first year with me Bat didn't draw- so awfully well. He wasn t known then. But Just the same he took down close to JlS.000. In 1914, when he began to pick on and beat the big boys we got more money. And we've been getting more all the time." "How many of those i rights in 1916 were against Jack Dillon V "Three." said Dan just like that.. "How many?" "Ah er four." stammered Dan. "Come again." "Well, if you're so darned curious about it, lemme think." pleaded Dan. He did and then he spoke: . -Five that's it five fights against Dillon. But what's the use of digging up a man's past like that? Kansas City Decisions Lost. "Now. of those 41 fights." added Dan. IB were to decision. Bat won eight of those verdicts, five other iignts were draws and he lost two decisions. Peculiarly enough the only decisions made aeralnst him were in Kansas tny. Dillon beat him there in 15 rounds and Carl Morris duplicated the trick." "Bat didn't knock out many fellows last year, did he?" "Oh, no. Bat's a tender-hearted fel low. He hates to knock out anybody because "Because he likes to save "em up "for a return match T" "No, you nasty person, that isn't it at all." flared up Dan. "Bat s tenner hearted. He doesn t want to -Kill" 1 fellow in his anxiety to win. He is nerfeetlv satisfied to win on points. And the fans are satisfied too. because Bat always gives them a run for their money. and end running that will long be re membered. Those who saw Oregon play in the north say that Huntington played the greatest game of his career. His head work was wonderful and with his great speed and strength he is surely a grand player, for he played his great est game in the face of what was per haps the most trying test of his career. Thosewho belittle Pennsylvania are making a big mistake and ty so doing take credit away from Oregon. As a matter of fact Penn possesses a lot of football brains and great skill in the. execution of the plays In which thev have been so well coached by Bob Folwell. Victory mn Honor. To beat Pennsylvania was an honor that falls to few teams, but to win by two touchdowns and hold the Quakers scoreless entitles the Oregon boys to all the praise that goes to a team that earns a victory In which there was no sign of a fluke. From now on there will be little talk of Eastern and Western football. The Idea that the East is full of tricks while the West plays nothing but old style football has been upset. Oregon beat Pennsylvania by pulling trick plays at the psychological moment she out-tricked the tricksters and her victory Is evidence that football as coached In the West Is sufficient to rone with football as coached In the East. Pennsylvania would like to play here again, but it Is doubtful If she could reverse yesterday's result. The Oregon team is not an accident. It is typical of the Northwest and as the Influence of rugby wears away In California the entire Pacific Coast will be represented by stronger teams until eventually the East must consider the West in football affairs. All praise for Oregon, champions of the West, the team that has made Pa cific Coast football respected in the West. BARRY TO LEAD SOX Second-Sacker Will Manage Boston Americans.
