ONLY TWO BEAVERS
SHY AT CONTRACTS
Southworth Desires to Get
More Cash; Siglin Wants
Short Training Time.
JEN PLAYERS SATISFIED
Ilouck, Fisher, Stumpf, O'Brien,
Wilie, Rodgers, Penner, Bigbee,
Helfrich and Williams Are
Heady to Go to Honolulu.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Despite the fraternity strike peril
that overhangs the baseball world,,.one
Portland regular Dennis Wilie sent
in his signed contract to W. W. Mc
Credie yesterday and another Bill
Rodgers a staunch frat member, an
nounced that he was satistied with his
contract. Rodgers proclaimed himself
glad of the opportunity to settle for
good' and all whether -the Honolulu
girls wear proverbial Mother Hubbards
or the grass skirts with which vaude
ville managers attempt to hide the
Kanaka girls' lower limbs.
The addition of these two regulars
gives Manager McCredie the founda
tions of a team to take to the Hawaiian
Islands on February 14. Those signea
or satisfied with their contracts are:
Houck, Fisher, O'Brien, Stumpf, Wilie,
Itodgers, Penner. Bigbee, Helfrich and
Williams.
Only two real holdouts have appeared
thus far Billy Southworth and the
new infleldcr, Siglin, of Pittsburg.
Judge McCredie received a letter from
Siglin yesterday. In which the y,oung
eter said he was opposed to the long
training period made necessary by the
voyage to Honolulu.
Southworth is anxious to go to the
Islands, but he wants more money.
"So far as Siglin is concerned, we will
not attempt to coerce him at all," re
marked the judge. "We will take his
word for it and will ask him to report
at Stockton to Nick Williams on March
16 or thereabouts. If he is not In con
dition when the team returns from
Honolulu we will get another inflelder."
Southworth Is wintering at Colum
bus, O.; Siglin at Aurelia. Ia.; Rodgers
at Cincinnati, O., and Wilie at Los
Angeles. In his contract Wilie gave
his residence as the "United State3 of
America."
When the rotary plows burrow a
path through the snow drifts now hold
ing up a great deal of mail. Judge Mc
Credie expects a batch of letters from
his players. About 10 of the Portland
regulars are unsigned.
As mum as a toke point on the sub
ject of strike, Harry Heilmann, former
Portland ball star, drifted into Port
land yesterday from San Francisco for
a visit with his ex-pal, Del Baker.
Harry and Del were both on the De
troit American ball club last year and
Harry is now en route East to prepare
for the Spring grind at Waxahachie,
Tex. The paths of the two lads di
verge this Spring, for Baker will be
first-string catcher on the San Fran
cisco club of the Coast League.
Heillmann weighs about 1S5 pounds
and appears to be enjoying excellent
health. lie says he has not yet re
ceived a contract from Detroit. Harry
belongs to the fraternity, but asked
to be excused from any interview on
the fraternity matter.
"This Marty Kavanaugh will be a star
In the Coast League if San Francisco
gets him for first base," said Heilmann.
"He played infield for Detroit for three
or four years and Del and myself had
a good opportunity to watch him work.
He is a corking good batter and plays
either first or second bases like a vet
eran. Kavanaugh is only about 25
years old."
Heilmann expects to remain in Port
land for several days.
Owing to the Junket to Honolulu it is
hardly probable that the Portland ball
club will be able to tangle with the
Chicago Cubs in exhibition games this
Spring. The Cubs will condition at
Pasadena and will play most of the
other Coast clubs. Henry Berry and
Cal Ewing have been squabbling about
the allotment of games around the bay.
Manager McCredie says Nick Williams
is to train the Spokane team of the
Northwest League at Stockton, and if
this is true the Spokane and Portland
clubs undoubtedly vi'A play a series at
Stockton atter tne Beirvers return irom
the Islands.
m
The return of Harry Wolter to the
major league as a member of the Chi
cago Cubs will be watched with inter
est by all baseball enthusiasts. Wolter
Ftarred for several seasons as an out
fielder for the New York Yanka. Three
or four years ago he. broke his leg dur
ing a game and the accident slowed
him up so badly for a while that Frank
Chance was forced to release him to the
Los Angeles club. With the Angels
Harry soon began to display his old
time pepper and punch, and, if he main
tains his clip of the past two years
with the Cubs, it will take a couple of
Market-street bombs to keep him on the
bench.

ATHLETE COXX GETS HIGH PAY
Fenn Lnres Aggie Star With $135
Month Job, It Is Said.
In quest of a capable baseball man
to coach the diamond athletes at the
Oregon Agricultural College. Dr. Joseph
A. Pipal arrived in Portland from Cor
vallis yesterday and registered at the
Oregon.
"Walter McCredie helped us out last
Spring. I am told." said Dr. Pipal.
"But the Honolulu trip of the Portland
club forestalls any similar request on
our part this year. We prefer some
college man who. has had professional
experience.
Dr. Pipal says the loss of George
W. Conn, his star athlete, who has en
tered Pennsylvania, will hit him bard
in other branches than football.
"Tufty is a brilliant track athlete,
remarked Dr. Pipal. "He does the 440
under 50. and has several times breast
ed the tape in the century In ten and
ten and one-fifth seconds."
It is understood Conn deserted the
Oregon Aggies for Pennsylvania be
cause he was offered a fine paying po
sition in Philadelphia.- The president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad a Penn'
alumnus accompanied the Quaker
football team to Pasadena on New
Year's and offered Conn a year-round
job in his offices. In Summer it is
said his monthly emolument will reach
the tidy total of $133.

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem.
Or., Jan. 31. (Special.) In a basket
ball game characterized by its clean
ness and speed, the Washington
State College team defeated the Wil
lamette University team here today by
a 3a-to-i8 score.
The Washington team took the lead
at the beginning of the game and was
never headed. The first half ended 13
to 4. In the second half both teams
seemed to find the basket easier to
hit and many sensational shots were
made. Only five fouls were called on
each team. 1
Washington State College presente'd
the best team that has been seen
on the local floor in years. Their
passing was good and each man was
a good shot. The local team played
one of the best games it has played
this year, but was unable to hold the
Pullman team. -
Captain Flegel and Nichols played the
best game for Willamette, while Bohler

That Willie Ritchie, ex-lightweight
champion of the world, thinks "Muff"
Bronson is the real McCoy and would
like to handle him is brought out in a
letter received here by a relative.
Ritchie is in Chicago with Georgie
Thompson. San Diego bantamweight.
When Ritchie was in Portland and
seconded the Portland boy at his vic
tory over Lee Johnson it was known
that he made an effort to obtain the
management of Bronson. He asked the
Portland youth if he intendc. to follow
ring work, and advised him to watch
his weight, expressing the opinion that
he would make a top-notch lightweight
within a year or so.
At the time Bronson told Ritchie that
he thought he should wait awhile be
fore tangling with fast Eastern boys.
Ritchie did not go straight to Bronson
with his offer, but consulted Joe Flani-
gan, who has brought Muff . from a
green youngster to a formidable ex
ponent of the manly art.
Flanlgan and '. tchie have been
friends for years, attending school to
gether. Joe saw Ritchie climb from
four-round preliminary boy to a world's
champion. Willie asked Flanlgan if he
wished to handle Bronson for keeps,
saying that if he did not that he
(ltitchie) would like to get hold of him.
The Portland ma., consulteu Bronson,
who, it Deems, told Joe that he would
box for him as long as he continued to
climb into the hempen square.
"Ritchie wanted Bronson," said Joe
Flanlgan last night. "He has been stuck
on him ever since the first day 'Muff
worked with him at Mike Butler's
place last June, when Ritchie was pre
paring for the Ralph Gruman bout.
Willie asked me if I wanted to stay
with the boy.
I told him that Bronson was the
goods, and that if things evw:- reached
a point where I wished to quit mon
keying with 'Muff,' Ritchie could have
him.
"Since that time Bronson has deliv

In the letter received here from

David Fultz, president of the Players'
Fraternity, is getting his name into

tell something about him. Fultz is a
quiet, gentlemanly type of man. He
does not give the impression of being
aggressive or dominating. It Is said
he does impress one with being a man
who eays, quietly, what he means and
then sticks to it.
At Brown University Fults was a

him in his book on the gridiron sport.
Fultz Is noted as a football official

It Is reported that his salary as head

office rent and expenses a truly mod
