PIRATES GIVE DUO
FOR "CHUCK" WARD
Floyd Farmer, Outfielder, and
Paddy Siglin, Infielder,
to Be Beavers.
NEW MEN LOOK GOOD
farmer Played Last Season at Sec
ond and in Outfield for Pitts
burg, and Siglin Is Former
Star for Rochester, N. Y.
PITTSBURG, Pa.. Jan. 19. (Special.)
The Pittsburg baseball club of the
National League announced tonight that
Outfielder Floyd Farmer and Infielder
Paddy Siglin had been released to the
Portland club of the Pacific Coast
League in exchange for Charles W.
Ward, known as "Chuck" Ward, a
shortstop, who comes to the local club.
Ward already has signed a contract
to play with Pittsburg during the com
ing season and will be taken on the
training trip.
Ability Vouched For by Doyle.
The new player was recommended to
the Pittsburg club by "Jack" Doyle, a
well-known jaseball player, now an
umpire in the Pacific Coast League,
and also by Scout "Cap" Neal. Ward
is 22 years old. He formerly played
in the Northwestern League, but during
the season of 1916 was with the Port
land club and played sensational base
ball at the shortstop position.
Farmer came to the Pittsburg club
from the Louisville American Associa
tion team last season. His first ap
pearance here was in the outfield,
where he played a bang-up game. To
ward the end of the season Manager
Callahan moved Farmer to second base.
The change worked poorly for the re
,cruit, as his hitting fell off badly. He
was again shifted to the outfield, but
was replaced toward the fag end of
the season by Carson Bigbee.
SIglln Ex-Rochester Player.
Siglin was on the reserve list of the
Pittsburg club for two years. Toward
the end of the 1916 season he was
brought here from the Rochester club
of the International League, to which
he had been farmed. He managed to
get into a few games after coming here,
but had little opportunity to show his
worth.
TRUTH OF DEAL CONFIRMED
McCredle Elated at Acquisition of
Farmer and Siglin.
Walter McCredle confirmed the above
dispatch last night.
"I intend to use Farmer in left field
and will switch Southworth -over to
right field," said Manager McCredle.
"Nixon will be traded or sold, and
Williams and Wilie will be retained for
center field and utility.
"Siglin played second base for Roch
ester in the International League last
year. Dan Howley tells me that he was
the best-looking second baseman in the
league." r
"What are you going to do with Bill
Rodgers?" was asked.
"Well, he may not report, as he is a
member of the Fraternity." replied
Mac. "I may use Siglin at short or
third."
Farmer played outfield at Nashville
in the Southern League in 1915. He
batted .263 in 153 games and - fielded
.948. Last year he played with Louis
ville in the American Association and
batted like a demon. His bat prowess
attracted the attention of Pittsburg,
and he landed at Pittsburg In mid
season. Callahan switched him around,
but despite this he finished with a
stick average of .271 in 55 games in
the National League.
Both Farmer and Siglin are right
handed batters.
Siglin played with Toungstown in the
Central League in 1915, where he batted
.241 and led the fielding second base
men with .963. Last year he played
second base for Rochester In the Inter
national League, and showed marked
improvement with the bat. finishing
with a mark of .285. He ranked second
in fielding with .964 in 142 games.
McCredie appeared highly elated over
his deal. He has a first baseman com
ing from somewhere in a deal for
Beebe, and when he makes tnis deal
and lands a couple of veteran pitchers
he will be ready for Honolulu.
TRIO NOT YET SENT TO MINORS
Jones Talks on Status of Harley,
Jolinson and Borton.
Fielder A. Jones, manager of the St.
Louis American League team, said last
night that as far as he knew Catcher
Grover Harley and Infielders Ernie
Johnson and "Babe" Borton had not
been released to the minors. As Fielder
is the boss of the club, he should know.
He said that he has received no com
munications from George Stovall. man
ager of Vernon, relative to Johnson
going to the Tigers.
"1 wouldn't be surprised to receive
letters and telegrams from all over the
country for Johnson's services." said
Mr. Jones. "He is one or the best ball
players in the business."
Mr. Jones said that he did not an
tlcipate any trouble because of the
threatened baseball strike. His entire
infield is signed already. It is com
posed of George Slsler. Johnson. Del
Pratt. Borton and Jimmy Austin.
The contracts were mailed out by
Business Manager Branch Rickey only
recently. Mr. Jones said that he
thought the rest of the bunch will sign
up as usual.
The shrewd manager received a letter
from Bill Kenworthy the other day
asking about salary, etc. He answered
it and believes that "Kopecks" will be
satisfied and will be at the training
camp to fight for the third base posi
tion. Kenworthy had not yet received
his contract when he wrote Fielder.
Kenworthy is now in San Francisco.

HALF DOZEN ARE SIGNED
Portland Players Will Depart for
Islands From Vancouver, B. C,
on Steamer Niagara, Arriving
There Six Days Later.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT
For the first time in history a Coast
League ball club will do Its Spring
training in Honolulu. W. W. McCredie
announced yesterday, that, with the
transportation puzzle settled, he was
able to announce that the Portland club
had chosen to do its conditioning in the
islands.
"We telegraphed our acceptance to the
Honolulu Athletic Association today."
said Judge McCredie, in announcing his
decision. "All that remains now is for
the Honolulu folk to post the guarantee
in the bank and notify us to that ef
fect." If no hitch arises, the Portland ball
tossers will leave Vancouver, B. C, Feb
ruary 14, and will arrive in Honolulu
six days later via his majesty's steam
ship Niagara. Accommodations have
been reserved for the return trip aboard
an American boat, the Great Northern,
which leaves Honolulu. March 16,
touches Los Angeles March 20, and ar
rives in San Francisco March 21.
Trip Expected to Lure Playera.
Players who are unsigned by Febru
ary 12 will be asked to condition them
selves at their own expense and report
at Stockton on March 16 for the first
tuning up. When the Honolulu bunch
gets back to San Francisco Walter Mc
Credie will take them immediately to
join the mainland gang at Stockton.
From there the consolidated camp
will move by slow stages to Salt Lake
to open the Coast League season on
April 3.
"That ought to help break the strike
if there is any," remarked Byron Houck
when he heard the news. "All the boys
will want to make that trip and I'll
bet Mack has little difficulty signing
his players this Spring."
Owing to the limited time between
now and sailing date W. W. McCredie
worked all day yesterday mailing con
tracts to his players. Fisher, O'Brien,
Houck. Helfrlch. Stumpf and Williams
already have signed their documents.
The complete roster of the Portland
club in its incompleted stage follows:
Catchers Fisher, O'Brien.
Pitchers Houck, Hagerman, Bigbee,
Kelly, Leake (Richmond). Penner
(Cleveland), Helfrich (Harrisburg),
Brandt and Zweifel ( Portland semi-professionals),
Higbee (Quincy).
Infielders Rodgers, Stumpf, Siglin,
Hollocher.
Outfielders Wilie, Nixon. South
worth, Williams and Farmer.
Deals Yet Pending.
Walter McCredie has deals on for
a first baseman and some pitchers, and
no doubt these will be rushed to a. con
clusion under inspiration of the pro
posed Honolulu junket.
Even Judge McCredie has the carnl
val spirit. Although he hasn't been at
one of his nephew s fapring camps lor
several years. President McCredie has
made reservation for himself, and will
dare German submarines and all the
Moewes that may roam the Pacific
"I don't know but what we may have
some difficulty with the British gov
ernment over some of our Teuton ball
plaj-ers." ruminated the Judge. "I un
derstand they are rather strict. They
may grab Bill Stumpf and shove hiro
in a concentration camp for a year or
two.
"It's lucky Hlgglnbotham isn't with
us." interjected Walter McCredle.
"They'd get him sure."

Jan. 19. (Special.) Eastern critics
pick the University of Oregon eleven
to be the Pacific Coast "comer" for at
least two seasons, according to a tele
gram received yesterday and another
today from John B. Foster, manager of

New York City either In 1917 or 1918.
A pick of the strongest Eastern
elevens Is given the Oregon mentor and
the round trip and traveling expenses
are guaranteed. Mr. Foster in his tele
gram said:
"Think you would do well with Dart
mouth, Cornell or Pennsylvania. All
three strong here. Game should be
played prior to Army and Navy. Round
trip and traveling expenses would be
guaranteed to stated number for Ore
gon. If game is arranged minor de
tails can be quickly adjusted. Should
thifk best date would be around No
vember 15. Signed John B. Foster."
The question will have to go before
the faculty of the university for their
sanction and as soon as their acqui
escence is secured the arrangements
for the trip can be made.
Campus sentiment favors a game in
the East for the University of Oregon.
This is the first chance for the realiza
tion of the hopes. Other correspondence
between Mr. Bezdek and Mr. Foster
states that the game Would be played
on the polo grounds in ISew York City.

Bezdek from Notre Dame requesting a
post-season game between that institu
tion and the university or Oregon, the

JIMMY WILDE JOINS COLORS
Welsh Flyweight Differs From Les
Darcy and Freddie Welsh.
Welshmen In Portland wish to have
it known that Jimmy Wilde, the Welsh
flyweight phenomenon, is unlike Les
Darcy, Freddie Welsh and one or two
others of their kidney, who are notable
exceptions to the rule that the boxers,
as a class, have been quick to rally to
the defense of their country's flag.
Jimmy Wilde la the latest ring
deficiency in weight. He weighs less

His enlistment will not put a stopper

emoluments of the prise ring. Mr.
Wilde is a married man with a family.
but, so far from trying to evade the
recruiting sergeant, his difficulty has
been to persuade that individual that
he is a fit and proper person to don
the King's uniform.
Mr. Wilde is a freak as far as Ms
physical build is concerned, but his
heart is in the right place and. seeing
that he can take on all-comers at
weights considerably greater than his
own and defeat them all in short
order, he has some Justification for
thinking that he would be able to hold
his own in a different kind of a scrap.

FITZSIMMOXS WILL PREACH
With Fourth Wife, He Will Do
Evangelistic Work, It Is Said.
With determination to start life
anew, Mr. and Mrs. "Bob" Fltzsimmons
are due in Portland next week on their
way to California to do evangelistic
work. Word comes from Spokane that
the ex-heavy weight champion and Mrs.
Fitzslmmons No. 4 were reconciled
there Thursday night. It is said that
Mrs. Fitzslmmons No. 4 has canceled
hef engagement to go East to do re
forming work.
"Bob Fltzsimmons and his son. Bob,
Jr., are in Spokane doing vaudeville.
They have a boxing sketch.
On May 4. 1916. Mrs. Fitzslmmons No.
4 was at the White Temple here doing
evangelistic work while Mrs. Fitzslm
mons No. 3 (Julia May Gifford) was at
the Pantages Theater.
Mrs. Bob No. 4 was a concert hall
singer when she married "Bob" Fitz
Simmons. She was born in France, but
left home at the age of 14 to go on the
stage. In her speeches around the
country while doing church work she
often said that she prayed that Bob
might be converted, and that he, too,
might some day stand on the pulpit
and give his testimony. It seems that
at last Mrs. Fltzsimmons No. 4 has won
her fight. "Bob" has been conquered.
