BURNS WOUIjD MEET MIIXER Another Portland player Floyd Farmer has assured the McCredles that he will be a member of the party that will traintn Honolulu. His signed con tract with a letter, explaining why it was jiot in sooner was received at baseball headquarters yesterday. The envelop came from Farmer's home, Lebanon, Tenn. He said that he had been out of town and fired It back upon his return. It is not known whether jOr not Farmer is a member of the Fraternity. He finished last season with Pittsburg and will be used in the outfield and as utility Inflelder by the Beavers, according to the pres ent plans of Walter McCredie. The addition of Farmer to the squad gives Manager McCredie 12 players available for the Honolulu trip Fisher and Frank O'Brien, catchers; Houck, Penner, Helfrlch, Blgbee, pitchers; Rodgers. Stumpf, Hollbcher, lnflelders; Wilie, Williams and Farmer, outfleld- Stumpf 8 till Mlsalnsr. Although Pitcher Mark Higbee, se cured from Qnincy, III., of the Three Eye League, has been located In Mis soula. Mont., no answer has been re ceived from a telegram to him Satur day. Neither has Big Bill Stumpf been located. Judge William Wallace Mc Credie has branded the rumor that Stumpf was in Pittsburg as false, as he has had friends there scout for him. About 60 days ago Stumpf advised Walter McCredie that he was going to the farm of a friend near Portland to rest for 30 days. Not a word has been heard of him since. When the Honolulu trip was cinched the Mc Credles immediately started to hunt him up. Gus Fisher came through with the Information that Stumpf had told him that he Intended to Winter with his slater in Pittsburg, but considering the fact that the Imielder told Boss Wal ter that he intended to go to the farm it is thought that he went through with his plan. , Ward Says Judge Knows. A good Joke was put across on Judge McCredie in connection with the hunt for Bill Stumpf. "Chuch" Ward, who goes to Pittsburg, in the deal that sent Farmer and "Paddy" Slglin to Portland, is wintering in St. Louis, as is Charley Hollocher. Ward and Stumpf are pals and the Portland Jurist believed that Ward would know where Stumpf was. Consequently when he telegraphed Hollocher his ticket to Portland he ad vised the agent here to ask the rail road company's representative at St. Louis to ask Ward where Stumpf is hanging out. The following answer was received In Portland by the rail road company's agent: "Ward says there la a good-looking, good-natured, fat Judge named McCredie in Portland who can tell you where Stumpf is. Thus the plot of the case of Bill Stumpf thickens. It is Judge McCredle's personal opln Ion that Stumpf is on a farm near Portland, where they do not even re celve a weekly paper. He still holds out hope that Bill will get wind of the Honolulu trip and report in time. 24 to Be Taken on Trip. Although the McCredles have the privilege of taking 30 with them to the Islands only 24 will be taken. Judge McCredie dropped a letter to Herman Schatzlein. Los Angeles seml-profes eional southpaw, yesterday advising him to be ready to take the trip in case not enough seasoned warriors show up. The idea is to fill up with "bushera in case of a shortage. Judge McCredie is of the opinion that Jack Cook s schedule allowing Port land to open here April 24 will be adopted at the schedule meeting of Pa cific Coast League magnates which takes up at San Francisco today. The Portland prexy also has a schedule to submit calling for opening day here April 17, but is under the impression that as Cook s schedule is a dandy and that some of the magnates believe April 24 will duck Bome rain. Cook's schedule will go over. The judge has no objection to it. Cook Is now business manager of the Bees. Last year he was with the Qaks. SMITH DIFFERS FROM BEZDEK Flan to Name Field Captain for Each Game Opposed. BERKELEY, Feb. 6. (Special.) Coach Hugo, Bezdek, successful head of football operations at the University of Oregon, has started an argument. Bezdek says that football captains are an unnecessary luxury, and that gridiron teams can get along better without the accustomed pilot. He would like to appoint a field captain for each game, and thus relieve the strain and responsibility which, he says now often hinders a captain's playing ability. Andy Smith, the head coach at the University of California objects "Nothing to it," said Smith yesterday "Such a system as that would cause all sorts of fights in the team. If a cap tain were appointed ror each game each man would reel that he had a turn coming. If he failed to get his chance for the little glory in it he would feel alighted." TWO BIG. GAMES SCHEDULED All Unbeaten Interscholastic Fives to Play This Afternoon. Two Portland Interscholastic League basketball games are slated for this afternoon.

He guarded Friedman the first half. noiaing him to two baskets, and when shifted against Ade Bieberts in the sec ond half smothered that worthy also. bieberts, the big Aggie forward, is credited with 10 points, but as he threw eight out of 10 shots after fouls, he was held to but one basket, his lowest mark of the season. Both teams hung up about the same mark against the University of Ore gon and as tonight's battle was even until close to the finish, the game to morrow night should be a corker. The Oregon Aggies will be seen In action against the University of Washington on reoruary 15 and 16 at Seattle. Im mediately after the Washington game the Aggies will leave for California to play two games each with Stanford and the University of California, The lineups: Orepon Apples (20). Kieberts (10) F.

Hoqulam's playing was characterized by fast team work, which has been instilled in the quintet by Brewer Billie, Astoria boy and former O. A. C. football captain, now coach at Ho quiam. The Astoria youths were u able to stop most of the sweeping plays that garnered baskets for the visitors, but their playing in spots was high class. Fouls were repeatedly canea on the locals, but Hoquiam had registered only five -personal fouls against her. SLIM" SMEATON IS RELEASED First-Sacker Signed by Beavers Is Turned Over to Seattle. A. M.

MANAGERS CALLED TO COAST MEETING Salary Limits and Means to Combat Strike Will Likely Be Topics Today. ACTION IS UNPRECEDENTED Discussion Possibly to Include TJmpire Question Moguls Will Consider Three Schedules. Maier May Be Ignored. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5. (Special.) For the first time in Coast League history, managers of the teams will ba formally called into a conference to morrow. The occasion of the meeting of the magnates to 'frame a playing schedule is taken advantage of to have all the field bosses on hand. Harry Wolverton, of San Francisco; Walter McCredie, Portland, and Bil Bernard, Salt Lake, are already pres ent, and Del Howard, of Oakland: George Stovall, of Vernon, and Frank Chance, of Los Angeles, will arrive in time to take part in the discussion. President A. T. Baum announces that the purpose of the conference Is sim ply to talk over rules and regulations and routine'' matters in general. Secret Motive Suspected. The impression has been created, that the meeting of the managers is more significant than has been heralded. Never before have the magnates con sidered it worthy of effort and expense to bring the managers to a given place and date, and It may be that the real reason Is to frame a riot act on the sal ary and player limits that created so much trouble and scandal last season The players' strike may also be a topic of interest, and it is safe to say that a word or two will creep In about the umpires. At the time of the annual meeting in Salt Lake a surprise was created when announcement was made that the sal ary and player limits hd been discussed. An intimation was forthcoming that whale the $4500 monthly salary limit had not been taken off the books, the magnates would not be held to strict accountability, although they would be asked to hew as close to the mark as possible. To work out this system, the managers may be called upon for sug gestions of ways and means. Three Schedules Prepared. - The scheduled meeting does not promise anything exciting, according to advance notices. W. W. McCredie, John P. Cook and Johnny Powers are said to have schedules to submit. The moguls will undoubtedly get into the deliberations that will come before the managers relative to the strike situ ation and the salary limits. The magnates at present on the scene. Including Henry Berry, F. S. Murphy, J. Cal Eying, Walter Mc Credie and President A. T. Baum, are silent on what action will be taken on the accusations made by Ed Maier and the programme seems to be that they will Ignore them entirely. IIORSTMAJf IS NOT CONSISTENT Angel Loses to Clubs He Used to Beat and Defeats Others. Horstman of Los Angeles did not do much Coast League pitching in 1915 but he did enough to win two games from Portland wihtuot losing to the Beavers, and in 1316 Portland came right back and trimmed Horstman six times without allowing him to get away to a victory. Against Oakland in 1915, Horstman won none and lost one, and in 1916 he turned the tables and .won four from Oakland and lost two. Salt Lake beat Horstman once In 1915 and did not lose to him; in 1916 Horstman beat Salt Lake three times and lost twice. Ver non won one and lost none against Horstman in 1915 and kept up the same pace in 1916 with four victories and one defeat against him. San Francisco did not figure In Horstman's 1916 vie tories or defeats, but in 1916 Horstman beat the Seals three times and lost only once. Noyes of Portland completes the list of pitchers whose records of various seasons can be compared and he did little or no pitching In 1915. He won one and lost none against Vernon i 1915 and in 1916 he won five and lost four against Vernon. In 1916 Noyes won none ana lost one against Los Angeles., and in 1916. the Angels were isoyes worst Jinx, winning six and los lng only one against him. No other club figured in Noyes' 1915 victories or defeats.

TENNIS WAR IS POSSIBLE Coast May Break With East If Sport ing Salesmen Are Barred. SAN FRANCIS CO, Feb. 6. The an nual meeting of the Pacific States Tennis Association, which, has been called for February 15, Is expected to be one of the most momentous ever held by the Far Western tennis heads. It is considered significant that it has been set for a date closely following the annual meeting of the National organ ization on February 9, and upon what action is taken in the East will depend the action of the Coast organization. The outstanding question which the United States Association will en deavor to settle concerns the status of an amateur, the proposed definl tlon of which does not meet the ap proval of the Paclflo Coast. In the event that the East adopts as a ruling the proposal that players who are con nected with sporting goods housed in the capacity of salesmen must be con sidered as professionals, it is predicted that In all likelihood the Coast asso ciation will revolt. Just what action will be taken still is a matter of conjecture. A spirited fight already has been made to defeat the amendments, but if they should happen to go through It may come about that the local leaders will start another fight. The proposition of launching an other inter-club league and the class! fication of Pacific players also will be taken up. Bont Stopped to Save Boxer. DENVER.' Colo., Feb. 6. Charlie Me trie, of Milwaukee, defeated Younif Abe Attel. of Denver, in 10 rounds of fast flehting here tonight.
