THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, 31 ARCH 5, 1917. - 15 BLEWETT'S CIBCUIT FIXES CONSTITUTION League Moguls Revise Docu ment Unchanged Since Way Back in 1910. SEASON OPENS APRIL 24 Dugdale Says He's Through Exper imenting With Youngsters and Proposes to Put Tried Men In Field. SPOKANE. Wash., March 4. (Spe cial.) The Northwestern League mag nates were palavering on the constitu tion late' today with every indication that even a night session would not find this tedious detail a closed mat ter. It seems that the blooming old constitution has not been revised since 1910, and that various tinkerings with It In the many league meetings all these intervening years have not been duly recorded in the league's official governing document. So Prexy Blewett, who Is a lawyer by profession, was a ' year ago instructed to present a con stitution up to date. The directors voted to open the sea son Tuesday, April 24, and close Sun day, September 9. This was the only action taken tonight, although the board remained in session working out the details of the schedule. D. E. Dugdale pried himself loose from the pow-wow long enough to talk to The Oregonian's Spokane corre spondent. "Are you going to have a ball team this year?" the Spokane representative asked. Dug Says Re Will Save Team. "What do you mean ball team?" the stout person exploded. "Didn't I have a ahem ball team last year? "I am going to have a real ball team, you can say that without fear of ex aggeration," the Seattle mogul contin ued. "Tm through with experiments and cast-offs and kids and I'm out for the players who can deliver. I have spent a lot of money on railroad fare and training expenses for hopeless be ginners, but this year I'm going right out from the opening of the Spring training season for veterans who have the 'dope' behind them.- "I Just bought outright from the Oakland club First Baseman Rube Gardner. Gardner hit .290 in the Coast League last year. Gardner is a left handed batsman and left-handed throw er, and can play either first base or the outfield. "I have released First Baseman Bmeaton, a semi-pro from Medicine Hat. I have other deals on for two men hut not consummated yet. R-assell Regarded as Comer. "Bob Brown tried to trade me out of Charley Schmutz, and wanted to give me .RusselL I refused. I think that Russell Is a good prospect and that he is likely to make somebody a great pitcher some day. He gave too many bases on balls last year and I am not going to wait for some young eter to develop, as I said before. I want the boy who will deliver and everybody knows what Schmutz can do." ... Dugdale advised the league moguls that he had decided to permit the use of his Rainier Valley ball park to be used by Colonel Blethen's soldier re cruits for dally military drill this year at such times as would not conflict with the Northwestern League schedule. MOOSE SURPRISE JACK KIXG lodge Members Take Part in Open ing of Xew Baths.

COBB, SPEAKER, ALEXANDER AND JOHNSON AS MODELS Bush Leaguer, Outfielder or Twirler Has His Favorites In Great National Sport, to Whom He Looks if He Is Ambitions at AIL BY BILLY EVANS. American League Umpire. CLEVKLAND, March 4. (Special.) What Is good for Cobb certainly won't be harmful to me, la the dope a lot of recruit outfielders fol low. What Is helpful to Alexander ought to Improve my work. Is the line of reasoning many ambitious pitchers pursue. The recruit outfielder regards Cobb and Speaker as pretty good mod els. The bush league pitcher has a wholesome respect for the prowess of Alexander and Johnson. It Is only natural then that the new men should watch closely the style of play and the "mode of life big stars follow. It is only natural many bush leaguers should pattern after celebri ties of the diamond. In many cases the manager advises such action. In fact, he has the star pitcher, batter, catcher or lnflelder demonstrate the effectiveness of his methods to the new men. v This often leads up to amusing In cidents when veterans happen to strike a- recruit so green that he will fall for most anything. I will relate a few such incidents of the last four or five years. Here's Oyster Story. There is in the American League one of the game's greatest hitters, who is fond of oysters in any style. When in Philadelphia or Washington he always gives the oyster diet an awful battle, for he believes he always gets the best oysters In those cities. One training trip a few years ago several veterans were discussing good things to eat. The star expressed a wish that he might be at a certain restaurant in Phila delphia with a layout of oysters in every style. Several recruits heard the conversation. The star noticed this, and added that, so far as he knew, there was nothing quite so good as oysters for the batting eye. There is nothing sweeter to the player than the ring of the base hit. One recruit drank In the star's opin ion of an oyster diet for the batting eye. That evening he started to eat oysters, although he afterwards ad mitted he liked them none too well, and those he had eaten in the South were none too good-tasting. There was an Improvement in his batting at once, and he gave credit to the oyster. He continued to play oysters across the board in every style, until one day he was taken ill, and the doctor sum moned. There was something wrong with his stomach, poisoning of some kind, probably due to some poor oys ters. A light diet was prescribed, but the recruit objected. He insisted on some oysters, one of the things the doctor forbade. It was then the rea son for his wholesale consumption of oysters became known. The recruit is a big leaguer today, a good player, and is still fond of oysters, although he isn't sure they increase one's batting average. There Is a big league star who shuns moving pictures because of fool advice given him years ago during the train ing trip in the South. The club was doing its preliminary work in a small town, where It Is go to the movies or go to bed. One evening the player, who now shuns the moving pictures, then a BOXERS PRONOUNCED FIT JOHXSOX BELOW WEIGHT FOR BOUT WITH CAMFL Flanigan Refuses - to Pit Bronson Against Pink. man at Seattle and Decides to Take Boy South. Manager George Moore, of the Gold en West Athletic League, pronounces all the boys who will appear on his card at the Rose City Atnietio uuo tomorrow nlcht to be in the best of condition. Jack Grant will referee the three main bouts with "Denver Ed" Martin handling the preliminaries. Fol lowing is the complete card: 125 pounds Lee Johnson, of Oakland. v Eddie CampL 15.1 pounds Nlchol Slmpeon, of England. vs. Sid Mitchell. 135 pounds Peter Mitcnie, vs. Tea juere- dlth, of Bremerton. 190 pounds "Pinky" Lewis vs. Joe Clif ford. 130 pounds "Ping" Bodle vs. Ehel Mecool. 130 pounds Frankle Warren va. Ed Olaon. Dan Salt and Sid Mitchell were due to leave Seattle last night which will nut them in Portland this morning. Mitchell Is a protege of the Austin and Salt school in the Sound city. Leo Johnson and Camp) are boxing at 125 pounds. Johnson weighed 1233 pounds yesterday afternoon. . Eddie Brewster Pinkman, Seattle's premier lightweight, will meet Archie Wyard instead of Lloyd Madden in Seattle next Friday night. It Is said that Madden is ducking the hard-hit ting BrummeL Pinkman, who is still in Portland, believes that he will stop Wyard In three rounds. Joe Flanigan, handler of "Muff" Bronson, Portland lightweight, had a long talk with Sid Brunn, manager of j the Seattle Moose Club, over the long distance telephone last night at the conclusion of which Flanigan spurned an offer to have Bronson meet Pink man in Seattle, March 16. As to what the hitch was it was not given out, but apparently the refusal to accept the proposition was due to inability to se lect a referee. Brunn said that he would stage a bout between "Oakland Frankle" Burns and Willie Hoppe, of San Francisco, in place of the Pinkman-Bronson go, which is the plum for which all Seattle promoters are angling since "Muff" defeated Pinkman at the Rose City Athletic Club here. After the refusal to meet Pinkman last night Flanigan announced that Bronson, Jimmy Duffy and himself would leave for San Francisco March 15, where Bronson has bouts scheduled, March 23 and 30. Duffy will also box in the Seal Rocks City. His home is in Oakland. a e e Bronson will probably meet Jimmy Kilbane, world's featherweight cham pion, in Portland around April 12. This will be his next local appearance. a Valley Trambltas will meet Eddie Palmer in San Francisco in a few days. Palmer beat "Mexican Kid" Carter there last Friday night for the right to battle Valley, who has kicked up quite a fuss in the city that fell for Ad Santel. Trambltas went to San Francisco all alone. Palmer Is a big card in the California burg and he has defeated everyone he has met since his first start when he lost a decision to some mediocre boy. He surprised the natives down there a short while back by walloping Battling Ortega, of Oakland, the best middle weight turned out down there In recent years. Trambltas defeated Palmer twloe in Portland. ATHLETIC TEAM MAY VISIT University of Southern California Expected to Send Men. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, March 4. (Special.) Word has been received here that the recruit, suggested to a star of the team that they go to the picture show to kill an hour or so. Expressing much surprise, the veteran remarked: "You don't mean to tell me you play the movies? That is the biggest mis take in the world for a ballplayer. That drives more players out of the busi ness every year than overeating. Only last Spring it killed the chances of a promising recruit. When the young ster reported he hit any old kind of pitching and hit it hard. Before the season was a month old he was lucky to make a fouL - That fellow got the movie fever, and when he wasn't on the ball field he was following the films. It put him on the blink. Not for me; I want to stick a while longer." The recruit's eyes fairly popped out. He had never figured where watching the movies had any connection with his work on the ball field, but it was evi dent now. It explained how he had slumped Into last season, or he would have batted .360. He dropped the Idea by Insisting he had several letters to write. After the youngster had gone the veteran stepped out and made a bee line for the picture theater, where he put In an hour. The advice was spread rapidly to other recruits, and Inside of 24 hours all the new men had decided there would be no more movies for them, at least until they could get firmly established. The fairy tale of the veteran bad carried weight. Elevator BUI Yarn's Good. The Cleveland club several years ago had a bush league pitcher who was about the limit for greenness. It would have been easy to have sold him a gold brick. The pitcher hailed from a small town in the South, and to him the elevator was a wonder. There were few of them in towns he had visited. Following the example of the other boys, he used the elevator thj first day. He enjoyed riding up and down, and made many unneces sary trips to his room Just for the ride. One of the Naps decided the re cruit was made to order for the ele vator hoax. That evening when the recruit looked into his box he discov ered a letter, which he opened and then almost fainted. It read: "Elevator service, 14 trips, 1.40." Walking over to one of the veterans he showed him the bill. The veteran explained that was the customary charge, and was why they didn't ride only when necessary. The recruit then went back and paid over the $1.40. During the next two weeks the team spent at the hotel he avoided the ele vator, although he was often requested to make the trip. His room was on the fourth floor. Since he reported con siderably over weight, the manager of the team allowed the stunt to be car ried to the limit, as he figured the extra exertion wouldn't hurt. When the team left the hotel the money was refunded and the player put wise. In the next town he made up for all the rides he had missed. The baseball recruit is a great In stitution. He is indispensable to base ball, for many are Cobbs, LaJoles, Wagners, Mathewsons and Johnsons in the rough. And, after all, what would the poor veterans do on the training trips if it wasn't for the bush leaguer? Copyright. 1017. by W. Q. Evans.

San Francisco's baseball hopes moved 50 miles cross-country today to beat the Santa Clarans In the first extra-inning game of the year, 13 in nings being consumed in downing the college lads and solving the delivery of Southpaw Tom Hickey, and it was by the close margin of 8 to 2 that an end was brought to today's session. Hickey, who worked the steadiest game in many a day, pitched masterful ball, and had the professionals swing ing wildly, and save for an off-color decision by Umpire Murphy that per mitted the Seals to tie the score, prob ably would have won. For seven long innings the Seals had to rest content with a lonesome single, and gave another in the eighth, .and went all the way to the 11th frame with no more than the two blngles mentioned. In addition Hickey fanned seven and walked not a man.' Score: R. H. E.I R. H. E. Santa Clara 2 7 4San Fran.. . 8 5 6 Batteries Hickey and Pratt; Machold, Oldham and Hall.

Batting averages have Increased in the Coast League in the last six years despite the fact that the average num ber of hits per game has shown a de crease. In other words the average number of 'at bats' per game has shown a decrease in six years. Bases on balls, sacrifice hits, and hit batters are the factors In keeping down the number or men at bat in a game. Further dope along this line will show that there has been a big increase in the number of sacrifice hits per game in the last six years, and thus the natural con clusion is that pitchers have issued more walks and hit more batters of late; also that batters are belnir sent to the plate with Instructions to wait for free passes more frequently than they were- six years ago. The average number of hits ner arame has decreased, but the total bases for which hits count has remained about the same through the notable in crease in two-baggers and home runs In recent years. Three-baggers have been the only extra-base-hit column to show a decrease; where there were about seven triples in every ten ramtj four years ago. there were only about rour triples in every 10 games in I9ie. Home runs have shown an In creasB oi aoout id per cent In rour years until in 1916 they averaged slightly better than four to every lo games. Two-base hits have shown an increase of more than 15 per cent in four years until in 1916 they averaged Biignuy Detter than 28 doubles to every 10 games. Against this increase of extra base hits there has been a notable decrease In singles, however, for the total hits per game have dropped from an aver age of 17.61 in 1911 to 17.17 in 1916. In 1913 hits were the scarcest, averag ing only 16.71 per cent and 1915 saw the most bingles per game, the aver age being 18.06. From 17.51 In 1911 the average hits per game In 1912 dropped to 17.34; in 1913 they dropped still far ther to 16.7L In 1914 there was an up ward movement, hits averaging 17.40 per game. In 1915 there was the Jump to 18.06 per game, and then 1916 brought the biggest slump of any single year, there being only 17.17 hits per game last year. Yernonltes Play Indoor Tennis.
