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. Franklin High meeting Jef
ferson High in the Washington High
gymnasium and Columbia University
tangling with the Washington High
contingent in the Toung Men's Chris
tlan Association gymnasium. Both
games will start at 3:15 o'clock, with
H. A. Goode the referee for the Fast
Side clash and Homer Shaver working
the T. M. C. A. affair.
Jefferson, Washington and Columbia
as yet have not been defeated. Frank
lin High lost to Washington High and
Columbia University by one point, so
thev are in good condition to give th
Jeffersonians a good run this after'
noon.

Wrestler Agrees to Go on Mat If

wrestling champion, received an offer
yesterday to meet Dave Burns in Spo

Burns formerly represented the Spo

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

Astoria to Chinook and Willapa Har

the Hoquiam High School basketball
team tonight defeated Astoria High, 25
to 1.
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

and Scout James J. Richardson, of the
Beavers.

in the last three or four years as a flrst
sacker in semi-professional circles. Al
though more than six feet tall, he
weighs only 147 pounds. He was rec
ommended to Portland by a friend of
Judge McCredie. -y
No strings were attached to Smeaton

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. In 1916 he Tvon four and
lost four against Oakland: won five and
lost four against Salt Lake; and von
six and lost two against San Francisco.
Strangler Lewis Wins Match.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6. Edward
(Strangler) Lewis, Kentucky heavy
weight wrestler, won tonight the
wrestling match here with Paul Mar
tenson, of Chicago, who was his con
queror several years ago. Lewis scored
two straight falls. He threw Marten
son the first time in 57:59, using a toe
hold. The second fall was won by
Lewis in 25:55 with a headlock.
Freddie Welsh Suspended for Year.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 6. Fred C.

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. The bout, sched
uled for 15 rounds, was stopped in the
10th, the referee announced, to save
Attel further punishment. The men
are lightweights.
Coulon Outfights Sharkey.
NEW TORK, Feb. 5. Johnny Coulon
of Chicago, former bantam-weight
champion, outfought Jack Sharkey, of
this city, in a 10-round bout here to
night. The former tltleholder fought
at a fast pace throughout. Coulon
weighed 111 pounds and Sharkey 116

NEW CITIZENS VISITED
Sons and Daughters of Revolution
Go to Americanization School.
Approximately 100 members of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
and their husbands and members of
the Sons of the American Revolution
and their wives visited the American
ization school in the new Shattuck
building last night, many of them
having their ideas of the foreigner
entirely changed.
They found the foreigners there, as
diverse as the nationalities of Europe,
more appreciative of the benefits of a1
public school education than the aver
age American.
After an Inspection of the classes
the visitors and pupils went to the
assembly hall, where an address was

of the Americanization school.

Portland Frenchman in the main event

It will mark the little Callfornian's

Is in the "pink" of condition. Both

yesterday afternon and each is con

will weigh in at 5 P. M. today at
Butler"s School.
Besides the Mascott-Campi and Simpson-Tram
bltas battles another treat is
in store for the fans. Frankie Waldorf,
of San Francisco four-round fame and
a slashing. dashing middleweight,
takes on Al Sommers who used to be
some pumpkins in local boxing circles.
Waldorf has a fine record among
the best middies in California and as
Al will start an active campaign to
night to get back in the good graces
of those who pay admittance to the
bouts this argument ought to prove a
crackerjack.
Friends of Valley Trambltas, and
there are quite a few of them, say
that he will earn the right to be rated
as one of the best mlddlewefghts on
the coast If he defeats Nichol Simpson
tonight in the semi-windup. Both
Trambltas and Simpson have walloped
Eddie Palmer who beat Battling

The -fans will get a glimpse of five
new faces. They are Eddie Camps and
