BASEBALL RIVALRY IS WANTED
.President Hlckey Says Players Are
I - Too Friendly In Contests
CHICAGO, Jan. 26- American Asso
btatlon baseball players were urged, in
a. statement made publlo today by
Thomas J. Hlckey, president, to return
In the coming season to the "old-fash
loned rivalry that made our game th
greatest competitive sport in the
world."
"There Is too much of the Damon and
Pythias stuff on the ball field now
edays." he said. "With this loly-pop
Btuff In the game, a player of one team
will throw his arms around the neck o
his rival. Instead of watching for an
opportunity to sneak in an extra base.
I do not mean I want rowdy tactics,
but I want to see each team come out
with blood in its eye and with the
players strangers to each other while
the game is In progress."
President Hlckey estimated that 50
per cent of the players in the league
have Blgned 1917 contracts and reiter
ated his belief that the hold of the
Baseball Players' Fraternity on its
players is slim.
Baseball Brevities.
ART GRIGGS yearns - to be a, free
and un trammeled ballplayer and
has asked the Vernon club for his
release. Art has a chance to manage
a minor-league club this season and
wants to be in a position to accept It.
He probably will be permitted to make
a deal for himself.
Joe Gedeon Is done as a major
leaguer and the Seals and Bees are in
the market to secure him. In this con
nection the Vernon club should not be
overlooked, for it may be a bidder.
Thomas J. Darmody Is strong for
Gedeon and had him under considera
tion even before he purchased the
club.
Although never better than a flash in
the majors, Joe Gedeon Is a regular
curly wolf in the Pacific Coast League.
President Johnny Powers, of Los An
geles, is puzled over the talk that the
Angels will pass up Elslnore for Mur
rietta this Spring. "We found Elsinore
satisfactory and have never contem
plated any change in our plans to put
in the first ten days of training there,"
he declared the other day through th
Los Angeles Times.v
President Powers, of the Chan?emen,
does not intend to surfeit Los Angeles
fans with Spring exhibition games. He
"has set aside Just four dates with the
Cubs at Washington Park March 10,
11. 16 and 17. The Tigers probably
will play them an equal number of
contests at Pasadena, and between th.
two the visitors should get some valu
able practice.
The Cubs will not be in shape to do
much training work before March 1,
even considering the fact that they
leave Chicago on February 20. The
stopover to see the Grand Canyon will
take an extra day and then Sunday
will come in between.
Baseball strikes are nothing new In
Portland. The Beavers were on a
strike all of last season.
Judging from reports from the East.
Freddie Welsh sometimes becomes so
defensive that he is offensive.
Freddie Walsh has Just recovered from
that awful, awful bout
In the good old town of well-drawn 'beer
ana healtnrul sauerkraut.
'They may knock me.'-' he responded, "but
they cannot knock me out."
Jack Johnson, it is understood, is
about to take another fling at bull
fighting. He will not require much
training having -been connected for
several years with Jack Curley.
If Leslie James Darcy gets mixed up
with a few more of those promoters he
win tntnk he is in Spain.

The Junior members of the club will

requested to meet at the Portland
Riding Academy at 1:30 o'clock, so that
tne start can be made in time to arrive
at the finish of the women's open paper

the success. ,

FRATERNITY IS GOOD THING
Former Star Points Out How, In 1899, Men Organized Brotherhood and
Obtained Their Demands. "
NOTWITHSTANDING the skepti-.
clsm about the ability of ball
players to wage a successful
strike, there is one man In Oakland
who stands up for the fraternity idea
and whose voice should command a
respectful hearing. That man Is George
Van Haltren, the Ty Cobb of a few
years ago.
In 1S89 the ballplayers took objection
to a graduated scale which aimed to
divide ballplayers In three classes, ac
cording to their aWlity. with salary ac
cordingly. The following year the
Brotherhood of Professional Ballplay
ers formed and practically all the stars
joined, just as they have joined the
presentjday fraternity.
capital was securea. Dan paries were
built In nearly every large city in the
old circuit, and a new league was
launched.
"It is true that the brotherhood held
many players who proved false," said
Van Haltren the other day in Oakland,
where he Is spending his last days. "It
is also true that the brotherhood col
lapsed after one year's existence, but
the fact remains that the players got
what they were after, and abolition of
the graduated salary roll. Though
there was talk of a blacklist every
player eventually got back into the
National League at an increased sal
arr.
"I strongly sympathise with the play
ers and believe they are doing a wise
thing In organizing. Past history will
show that the players when organized
have been able to secure what they
have gone after. This is not the first
fraternity to clash with the owners.

Club, Billy Mascott and Eddie
Campi, of San Fran-,

at the Rose City Athletic Club next
Friday night. Eddie O'Connell, welter
weight wrestling champion of the
world, will wrestle best two out of
three falls with Johnny Viedhof, a
product of the Portland Young Men's
Christian Association.
As each man has chipped in $250 to
go as a $500 purse and they are wres
tling for all the gate receipts, the
match at least ought to be hard-fought
and therefore worth watching. Port
land folk have not had any wrestling
since last May when Walter Miller and
O'Connell tussled..
Manager Fred T. Merrill has lined up
three boxing bouts to go with the
wrestling match. They are as follows
133 pounds, Chet Neff versus Frank le
Sullivan: 122 pounds, Jimmy Duffy
versus Joe Gorman: 130 pounds. Freddie
Laue versus Jimmy Moscow.

the middleweight championship of the

Frankle Huelat probably will box

will complete the six-bout card. All
the bouts are scheduled to go six

is expected to go from Portland to see
the show. As an added attraction the
club will .stage a handicap wrestling
match between two Oregon City boys.
Willie Jackson, the New York light
weight who upset Johnny Dundee for
the count in the first round of a 10
round battle in Philadelphia last week.
Is deluged with offers to box all over
the country. The biggest thing that
he has been offered so far is a match
with Johnny Kilbane. featherweight
champion of the world. The bout
would probably be held in Cleveland.
Kilbane is willing to box Jackson at
any time, and adds that Willie may
enter the ring at any weight he may
choose.
