Beaver Manager Wonders if

Man for Position.
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

Central Association. Frank Boyle.

saying that Penner is the greatest
young right-hander he ever saw. Pen

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

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

available -well start Just the way we
are now situated.'
But you fans who know Walter Mc

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

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.

Henry Berry Announces That
Sacramento Is Choice.
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. Marysville, Monterey or Paso
Robles. with the chances favtSring the
first-named city. We have been in
communication with them all. 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

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. Tommy again
found the net with bis eagle eye ana
he was assisted by the redoubtable

"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."

But he isn't. Why. would yoi believe

The Oregon team's barbed wire en

The srood-natured man from Pendle

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

a return match T"
"No, you nasty person, that isn't it
at all." flared up Dan. "Bat s tenner

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.
