14 THE MORNING OREGON! AN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1917. B1G6EE BOOSTS TWO PITTSBURG PLAYERS Farmer and Siglin, Who Will Join Beavers, Said to Be Real Ballplayers. BOTH REGARDED AS FAST McCredie to Have Lot of Southern ers on Club This YearPortland Pilot Pleased With Ap pearance of Brandt. CHINESE INFIELDER SHOWS BASEBALL IS COSMOPOLITAN Seattle's Recruit Adds to Nationalities in Game, Representation Including Italians, Poles, Russians, Indians, Cubans, Bohemians, French, German, Irish, English and Scandinavians. " w "Skeet" Bigbee. the former University of Oregpn athlete who Jumped from the Portland training camp to Tacoma and then to Pittsburg all in one sea eon, has a good boost for the two Pitts burg players secured by Portland In trade for "Chuck" "Ward Floyd Farmer and Paddy Siglin. Farmer, the outfielder, has e wonder ful arm and takes a nealthy wallop at the ball, according to Bigbee. It was Bigbee, by the way, who eased Farmer out of his Job with the Pirates. Young Bigbee's letter from "Water loo, Orv to the sporting editor relative to the two newcomers follows: "In reply to your letter of the 21st. win say mere is but little I can give you about either Farmer or Siglin. Both are young fellows, both being un der 24 years of age. Farmer la a husky, rangy fellow standing about six feet and weighing about 180 pounds. Sig lin Is smaller, carrying about 150 pounds, which Is enough for an ln fielder. I know Farmer very well, but am not well acquainted with Siglin, who did not join the club from the In ternational League until near the close of the season. I got to see him play only three innings, but he was spoken of very highly by all the fellows who had seen him play. Farmer has a whale of an arm and takes an awful riffle at the ball. Both are right-hand hitters and are fast. "Lyle and I are going on a few days' hunt after cougars and cats before long. Best regards, "'C. I BIGBEE." Slglin's home Is at Aurelia, la., and Farmer's at Lebanon, Tenn. McCredie will have quite a Southern colony on his club this year five In all. Alfred Leake, one of the new pitchers, lives at Rocky Mount, N. C; William Fincher. another slab artist, resides at Holly Grove, Ark. Fisher and Wilie are Tex ans, and Farmer Is from Tennessee. Krnest Pruitt. the Merlin, Or., boy, released by Walter McCredie the other day, ought to be a good gamble for some Northwest League manager. Fruitt is a right-handed pitcher, 25 years old, standing five feet eleven inches tall, and weighing about 155 pounds. He has pitched good bush ball for four or five years far above the ordinary. Pruitt pitched and lost a 4-3 game to Medford last Summer after whiffing 11 batsmen and walking only one. He had bad support and held the fast Medford bunch off almost single hand ed. In June, 1915, the youngster pitched a no-hit game for Harrison against Springdale and won, 5-1. Clyde Jiles Rupert, manager of the Baby Beaver Intercity League team trotted Pitcher Johnny Brandt into baseball headquarters the other day and gave the youngster his first intro duction to Walter Henry McCredie. Brandt was clad in an old red sweater, and. as he had Just come In off of a farm near Gresham, looked more like a hayseed than a future Grover Cleveland . Alexander. Boss Walter pave him the double "O" from head to foot, and after he had left, remarked: "Typical busher; but that's how most great pitchers look when kids. It's these corn-fed babies that deliver. That lad has a great pair of shoulders and appears to be as strong as an ox. He ought to develop into an excellent pitcher." PULLMAN FIVE GOES SOUTH Staters to Meet California. Stanford anil Willamette on Trip. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. ITH the signing of Herb Mur phy to play third base the Se attle club Is ready for action or almost so. Bill Leard needs a first baseman and then he can say shoot. The infield roster shows Leard figured at second. Ayau and Morse at short and Murphy at third. This Ayau fellow is a plain heathen Chinee, only he Is not plain and Is not a heathen. He Is half Chinese and half Hawaiian and his tryout with Seattle emphasizes how cosmopolitan Is the great old game of baseball. Italy Is well represented, with Pine Bodie, of the Philadelphia Athletics: Gulsto, of Cleveland; Al Nixon, of Brooklyn, and many others. Roman Gonzales and Joaquin Rodis, Cubans, have Just signed with the New London club, of the Eastern League. Rube Schauer. born in Odessa, represents Russia. Ed Konetchy is a Bohemian, and the two Coveleskles Stan and Harry are staunch Polanders. The French, German and Irish are as numerous in baseball as shingles on a roof, with Lajoie, Wagner, Doyle and a few of those stars as ringmasters. The Indian, too, has long been a part of the major league kaleidoscope. John Tor tes, otherwise Chief Meyers, Albert Bender, Jim Bluejacket and Jim Thorpe are a few of those still in harness. Scandinavians are numerous. There are plenty of Englishmen, "Lord" Ken worthy, for Instance. It's a great game. Ballplayers can come from Alaska, Af rica, Afganistan or anywhere. If they have the goods the doors of opportun ity are open to them and, if they Join the Fraternity, they can even strike like a regular laborer. Douglas Shelor, one of the most popular of the Northwest newspaper bunch, came down from Seattle Mon day to give his O. K. to the automobile show. Mr. Shelor Is automobile editor of the Post-Intelligencer. Aboard train he fell Into & fanning bee with three traveling men. One was bemoaning what the cold weather had done to his territory. The others listened while he wailed. Finally No. 2 said: "Quit your complaining. I haven't made a sale since November 15." "What do you sell?" inquired No. 1 "Holiday goods." "It will be a year In July since I made a sale,' interrupted No. 3. "A year?" gasped Nos. 1 and 2 In chorus. "What do you sell?" "Suspension bridges." Lea Darcy. the Australian champion boxer, thinks he can do Just as well in the ten-round game here as in tne An tlpodes. He says his style Is to keep up a steady clip from tne gong to tne gong, and he does Just as well'in the first ten rounds as in the last. Darcy declares Clabby was the best fighter'he ever met and Jeff Smith the most foul. Clabby's second flght with Darcy proved a flivver because he had bet on himself to stay 20 rounds, and clinched at every opportunity to win his money. This made It a tame and uninteresting affair. Eddie McGoorty's first battle with Darcy also failed to please the fans. McGoorty, It is said, bt on Darcy to win and did not ex tend himself. In the return bout, Mc Goortv imagined he could win and so turned around and bet on himself. It was a case of double-crossing his own Judgment, for Darcy gave him an artis tic lacing. A. Salt Lake newspaper pulls a nifty little satire on the proposed affiliation of the Baseball Frat with organized labor. Says the writer: "It certainly will be a scream when the players run around the field in union suits; when the man on the sidelines with tne iron foundry voice is called a picket: when a foul Is described as an uniair Dan, and when the umpires call 'strike one, 'sympathetic strike' and then 'out.' Can baseball remain a sport when it Is swallowed up by union labor?" Boxing bills are being Introduced In a dozen or more states or tne cnion. Hughey Fullerton Is the author of one that is ud before the Illinois iegis lature. Gene Malady, the well-known porting man of Omaha, is the pater familias of a similar bill before the Ne braska solons. The Minnesota Legis lature-Is wrestling with the present law legalizing the sport in the gopher state. California. Washington ana numerous other states are also in the rlnir. Iowa has Just passed a bill. There was talk some weeks back of introducing another bill in the Oregon Legislature, but evidently that's all that came of it. It would have been a mistake anyway. The boxing fans hereabouts are well satisfied with the Bronsons, the Houcks, the Mascotts, the Dnffva. the Trambitases. the wings and the other clean lads who are local products. These lads are entitled to recognition and as long as tney are the headliners, the community Is safe from the riffraff and the flotsam oi the old prizefight days. m m w "Speed" Martin, the young Oakland pitcher, is a holdout on the Chicago ox, Martin is employed by the Chevrolet Automobile Company In Oakland and declares he will quit baseball rather than sign for the salary offered him. This stinend. if we are to believe aa vices from the East, amounts to about X200 a. month. Martin once before quit baseball Jumping the Seattle club two years ago for an entire season. inree nuuareu is quite a snug sum for a youngster and it would be 'a mistake for him to overlook this opportunity In the big league for any foolish stubbornness. Comiskey is a liberal magnate and will pay hiir all he can. It is possible the first contract stnt Martin was purpose ly made' lower t han Chicago expected to pay. Many of the owners follow this plan with troublesome players. It per mits them to compromise and eventual ly disburse what they were willing to pay but afraid to offer originally.

Colo., Jan. 20. Benny Chavez, of Trinidad, Colo., won the pop ular decision over Frankie Sanders, of New York, in a 15-round bout here last night. The men are featherweights. A real thrill was handed the Jeffer son High School basket-tossers yester day afternoon in the game with the High School of Commerce aggregation in the Washington High gymnasium. At the end of the first half the Stenographers were leading 9 to 8, but the strain was too great and they weakened, losing 16 to 32. Coach Homer Jamison, of the Jef fersonians, was forced to make three changes in his lineup before he man aged to get far enough ahead to per mit him to breathe easier. In the first half Jefferson scored only two field baskets while the Fencilpushers were credited with three. The ability of Denny Williams to shoot fouls in the last period was what saved his aggre gation. Morris Kogoway was tne star ror tne losers, having made ten points. Cap tain Williams for the winners made four field baskets and converted ten fouls. "Spec" Burke was taken out of the game because he made four per sonal fouls.

The Portland Uncle Sams, exhibiting a, great style of play which character ized their play while they were winning the 1915-16 championship of the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association, came to life last night in the Ice Palace with a rush and a dash which caused the Vancouver Millionaires to return to their homes carrying a 7-to-ll defeat. It was some game from start to fin ish, with the Uncle Sams holding the upper hand throughout. While few more than 1500 fans were present, the game was one of the most exciting and vicious of the season. Neither aggregation took a chance of breaking up its team by adding sub stitutes.

Kilty fur 1V11- Driver. Counted Out of Race. Pax he Huskies Out Into - I . h t In Hope of Catching Others. D ALTON, Minn.. Jan. 30. The seve leading teams in the Winnlpeg-St. Paul dog race covered only 33 miles today, tying up for the night here at S P. M. after a day of comparatively eas going. The seven had Intended make their night control at Garfield 33 miles southeast of here, but instead eased up on their dogs after yester day's drive, and all expect, to be awa to an early start tomorrow, with their teams in good condition. Fred Hartman, American, who since early in the race has been regarded as almost out of the race, is pushing his four dogs through the night, hoping to catch up with the others. He drove into Fergus Falls at 7:10 P. M., where it was expected he would tie up for the night. Instead,, after resting, he cracked his whip over the hacks of his team and announced he would sleep with the leaders tonight, and pushed ahead, with this place his objective. Mike Kelly, who has been among the leaders, part of the time setting the pace, left one or his dogs at i-ergus Falls. He announced tonight that he would be able to make as good time during the remainder of the race with the four. Hyurtur Hanson and Albert Camp bell met with minor accidents in to day's drive. Each is suffering from a siisrhtlv strained ankle. Lefore retir ing tonight each driver announceu mat he would sleep with his "ear open," as any advantage gained from now on will perhaps mean tne race. FOLWELL TO BE HEARD It became known last night that Carl Mays, great underhand pitcher of the world champion Boston American League Club, had received and sent back his 1917 contract unsigned. The blonde pitcher, who is Wintering here, admitted last night that not only Is the salary offered unsatisfactory, but that he would not sign until advised to do so by Harry Hooper, who is the rep resentative of the Baseball Players Fraternity on the Red Sox. Last season I got a 11400 raise over what I received the season before." said Mays last night. "I will get another raise of the same amount this Spring quit baseball. I have a 360-acre tock farm near Springfield. Mo., and that's where you'll find me unless I get what I want. The contract sent me called for the same salary I received last year. Mays won 17 and lost 13 games for the champions last season, and is rated as one of the greatest pitchers in the game. Many critics come out point blank and say that he Is the greatest relief pitcher pastiming at present. Word From Hooper Awaited. According to Mays, Outfielder Harry Hooper, of the Red Sox, is the Baseball i Players' Fraternity delegate with the Boston Americans. Hooper is Wlnter- ng on his farm near Itedlands, Cal. I received a letter from Harry the other day, in which he told me not to be in a hurry signing a contract," went on Mays. "Harry is a fellow like Jack Barry, who thinks things over pretty carefully before acting, and I'll abide by him. Under no conditions will I sign unless told to do so by Hooper. This goes whether or not the salary question is settled. 'I'll stick by Dave Fultx until the cows come hor-ie. ns will the rest of the Red iox. At least I am under the impression thtt all members of the fraternity with the Boston American League club will stick by Fultx. Hooper and the Players' Fraternity. I wouldn't think much of a fellow who Joins a fraternity and then goes back on It. Majors Have Nothing to Gain. I have nothing against the Red Sox and if they come through with the 11400 rise I'll be perfectly satisfied. In fact, major league ballplayers have no grievance at all. It's the minor league boys who are concerned. But most major league ballplayers once played in the minors, and for that rea- son they should stay with the old ship. Mays expects to hear from the new owners of the Boston club within a few days and also expects another letter from Harry Hooper. He is of the opin ion that the threatened war will be settled to the satisfaction of everyone before reporting time comes. Carl says that Jack Barry, who succeeds Bill Carrigan as manager of the chamnions is a staunch champion and member of the fraternity, and that he will con tinue as such even as head of the Sox "Barry signed as manager. He could do nothing else if he wanted the nnsi- tion. but I am sure that he is with the fraternity in its demands heart and soul," concluded the stocky Boston neaver. caught for the Tigers last sea son. going there from the Portland Pacific Coast League club. Last Saturday he was traded by Tacoma along with Pitcher Al Hartman and Infielder Johnny Wuffll and an unnamed amount of cash for Infielder David Lloyd and Catcher Stevens. The switch Is acceptable to the Portland youth. BRYANT WIXS CHECKER TITLE Expert Wins 2 5 Games and Loses Only S In State Tourney. E. H.

McCredie Falls In Many Efforts to tet overament O. tC on amrs Submitted. UDGE W. W. M CREDIE, owner of the Portland baseball club, lumber mills, ranches and a couple of Winter resorts. Is experiencing more rouble finding a name for his new hot springs near Eugene than the Salems and Portlands of the country are bump ing Into trying to get rid of a few. When the Judge applied to the Post- office Department for an office at rinino Springs he ran afoul of a new ullng against duplication or ceardupll- ation of titles. "Too much like Wl- ona, Minn., and a couple others," came the reply. The Judge scratched his pate a mo ment and then tired in McCredie and Mackville. To his utter astonishment the postal officials found a McCredie in Missouri and Mackville in West Virginia, Kan sas and Kentucky. Well, make it Alice or Hutton." fired back the local baseball magnate, Alice being Mrs. McCredie's first name and Hutton the Judge's mothers family handle. 'Alice's in Colorado. Kentucky, Louis- ana, Missouri. Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas, and an Aliceville in Alatama - and Kansas." came the retoru And. to further dis turb the Judge's equanimity, the de partment also clamped the lid on Hut ton. There is a Hutton valley In Mis souri and a Huttonville in West Virginia. 'Lets name it after Billy bullivan. the old Sox catcher who is wintering in Oregon." said George Shepherd, dis coverer of the catch phrase "Deep Water to the Sea." While this idea fairly scintillated with merit, the postoffice inexorables couldn't see it with binoculars. There are exactly 11 Sulllvans in the mall order lists now. Make it Mineral or Mineral Springs. suggested Walter McCredie, who can al ways be counted on to come to bat In the pinch and deliver. Minerals in Arkansas. California, Idaho, Illinois. Kansas. Louisiana, Ohio. Texas. Virginia and Washington, and Mineral Springs enough for one to a finger." said the P. O. boys. So Judge McCredie is in desperation. Paraphrasing the words of Richard III. he is almost ready to give the site of his new ball park In South Portland for a name plus &0 cents on the dollar. 'I have Just six bets left." declared the judge yesterday in his office in the Icon buildings Here they are: sic- Credieville, Mackdale, Skookumbaths, Mudbaths, Hotmineral and v ebfoot. According to the Postoffice Department no duplications will be allowed in the future, and the town titles must be of only one word." If these six are spurned by the post- office powers the Judge intends to spring piece de resistance that he thinks will knock the boys for a goal. Spell this backward: Heyemxam. And now keep mum. for it's a deep, dank, dark and dans-erous secret. SECRETARY OF TIGERS VISITS Tacoma Baseball Official Calls to Talk to Bartholomew.
