TlONOLTJLU. Hawaii. Portland Train
ing Camp, March 6. (Special.) The
Portland semi-professional pitcher.
Johnny Brandt, and one or two other
youngsters here In training' with the
Beavers undoubtedly will be turned
over to the Spokane club when Port
land's sauad reaches Stockton about
March 22 or 23.
Manager McCredie Indicated as much
yesterday.
Brandt is a promising: big fellow, but
far too inexperienced to be carried by
a Pacific Coast League club. He does
not know much about the finer points
of the slab business. Johnny Brandt
never knew what a move to first base
was until Walt McCredie and Captain
Rodgers began hopping him for permit
ting base runners to take too big a
lead on him.
"Keep the ball In against your chest."
yelled Mack at John. "You have It out
there about a foot In front of you and
when you begin your delivery to the
plate you have to bring It back close to
the body and there Is all that lost mo
tion." Brandt and Zweifel are quick to
learn, and by the time the Beavers get
back to the mainland they are bound
to be greatly improved pitchers.
"I know I've learned a lot." said
Brandt last night. "I will be well sat
isfied if Nick Williams will take me at
Spokane.. That will give me a chance
to pitch and develop, where I would
merely warm the bench in the Coast
League. Casey helped me a lot In my
pitching last year In the Inter-City
league. Funny, though, he never said
a thing to me about holding runners
on- first base."
Of the other young pitchers, Mark
Higbee came to Portland from Quincy,
111., on an optional agreement, so if
he fails to make good, back he will go
to dear old Quincy. Cleveland still has
a string on Penner, so Penner its fair
ly sure to be with the Beavers for
Quite some time to come.
Helfrlch was a free agent when he
signed with Portland, and the same Is
true of Lyle Blgbee and Herman
Kchlatzlein. Lyle hasn't been able to
muster the same control he exhibited
t the fag end of last season. It may
be a year of steady pitching In the
Northwestern League would bring him
out of his wild and woolly chrysalis.
Lyle weighs 190 pounds now, and if he
learns to control his Bpltter there's no
reason on earth why he should not be
another Jeff Tesreau.
Byron Houck is the most enthusiastic
member of the Portland squad so far
as Honolulu is concerned. He thinks
there is no more soothing spot on old
Mother Earth. While Rodgers Is off
shooting goats In Haleakala. Wolfer Is
climbing cocoanut trees, armed with a
hatchet, Higbee is camping out in the
park near Queen Liliuokalani's, and
some of the rest of the gang are roam
ing Nuuana avenue, Byron Houck can
be found, face down In the sands, on
Walkiki beach, clad In a negligee bath
ing suit.
"My arm Is in better shape than it
has been any Spring since I have been
playing baseball," declared the former
Philadelphia Athletic hurler yesterday.
"I get more good out of that sun bath
In the sand every morning than I do
out of the afternoon practice at the
ballyard. It's better than any Turkish
bath ever Invented. Those ocean dips
and sun baths are an absolute anti
dote for lame arms."
Billy Southworth's baseball educa
tion seems to have been badly neg
lected, in some respects at least.
When he cabled Judge McCredie ask
ing for a price on his release, the Judge
caDiea this reply: "Draft price."
The following afternoon Judge Mc
Credie received another message from
.Billy: "Don t understand."
Nearly any fan can tell you that the
Uoast League draft price is J2500.
Owen Merrick, sporting editor of the
Btar-Bulletin in Honolulu, is out with
a suggestion that the Coast Leasrue
writers call the Portland club the "Hula
Hulas," instead of "Beavers." A better
suggestion Is offered by Andrew Far
l-ell, of the Advertiser, to-wit: "Mekea-
lohapihanuiloaapaus." This is an ab
breviation of the English word "Stars.'

HONOLULU, Portland Training
Camp, March 6. Although Mc
Credie has kept the boys busy
with a stiff workout or a. game each
day, they have had some opportunity
to see the sights of Honolulu, and they
will see more before they sail for San
Francisco next week.
Some of the Beavers have been
motoring up to the Pall, which the
citizens here pronounce without blink
ing an eye or getting their tongues
twisted. A road winds up Nuuanu
Valley (and if you say Nuuanu offhand
you are elected to the Kamaalna Club
wikiwiki), between cliffs of gray lava,
overgrown with trees and brush and
vines In a half a dozen shades of green,
until it leads to the edge of a great
cliff that drops 1200 feet, much of that
height 8heerly, to rolling lands of red
earth, pineapple plantations, and small
villages. All this plain is hemmed
in on the land side by the pall of the
Koolau mountains, the highest , of
which is 3100 feet high, and which vir
tually are insurmountable except where
the road is built in the pass. In front
is an azure and amethyst sea.

the first who made the mistake of

"Never Again," Portlandera Say Dou
ble-Header Scheduled to Be
Played Today.
HONOLULU, Hawaii, March 14.
(Special.) Today was spent In shark
hunting. Portland's baseball team of
the Pacific Coast League was given a
rest by Boss Walter McCredie and It
was a signal to go out for a few of theJ
big man-eaters. Never again, say we,
for almost everyone was seasick. We
thought the ride across to the Islands
was rough, but it was like a Willamette
River spin compared to the ride we
were given today In the small boats
outside the harbor.
For shark bait a dead horse was
floating where the American subma
rine F-4 went down more than a year
ago.
We managed to book a big 12-footer
that Is, those in charge said it was
that long but before It could be
broueht to the -surface it wriesrled off
the harpoon. While most of the crowd I
was seasick, there were two or three
who were able to enjoy themselves.
The day's "rest" has caused a double-
header to be scheduled for tomorrow.
and it will be the means of Manager
McCredie getting a chance to use all
his pitching prospects during the two
clashes. No announcements were given
out tonight as to the twlrler who will
start.
Captain Bill Rodgers has been giv
ing some of the recruits lessons In in
side baseball. In all probability tomor
row will be the last appearance of the
Beavers here this season.

kind of a fair deal with Barney Drey
fus. Southy is holding out for enough
of a rise to cover the expenses of a
trip made by him and Mrs. Southworth
irom Portland to their homo in Co
lumbus, Ohio, last Fall.
Southworth has hit .300 in the Pa
cific Coast League for the past two
seasons. He was with Portland only
a part of the season in 1915. but In
that time whanged the pellet for a .320
average, and while with the Cleveland
American Association club earlier In
1315 hit way and above the charmed
figure.
He stole Z2 bases in the Coast League
ast season, which seems to show that
he is getting faster. A bad arm is the
only drawback to a great ballplayer.
Hugh McCredie. business manaeer of
tne roruand Pacific Coast League club,
yesterday received a letter from Pres
ident Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg, in
which, the latter asks the Portland
owners to name what they want for the
popular Billy.
Dreyfuss did not say whether he was
In a position to pay cash and players
or whether he wanted to ship some
pastlmers out to this great Western
circuit for the powerful but frail-lok-
ing Beaver gardener. His letter was
promptly forwarded to Stockton to
await the arrival of the McCredies
there, March 22 or 23, upon their re
turn from Honolulu.
The McCredies have advised South
worth to make a deal for himself, but
insist upon receiving the draft price
($2500) or a deal as good for him in
players. He must have appealed to
Pittsburg as a last resort.
All the leather-lunged, 16-cylinder
baseball fans have been ordered to
show up at the first general round-up

ready to put "pep into the usual open
ing day celebration. The executive
committee will furnish the horserad
ish, paprika, catsup and other hot in
gradients to burn up the whole town
with enthusiasm and glee.
This will be the first real bite of
the baseball microbe for the season of
1917. and It Is expected that fully 100
of the old guard of Boosters will be
on deck with a lot of new, young blood
that is eager to 'show the old-timers
how things should be done.
Several important propositions are
to come before the boosters Saturday.
The most important, of course, is the
question as to what shall be done to
raise funds in lieu of the time-honored
"booster button" sale. Practically
all the fans are a unit In opposition
to the sale of the buttons, so it will
d-volve upon the fans who attend Sat
urdav's luncheon to work out some
plan for getting right up close to
enough coin to provide for a suitable
parade, music and other inciaeniais.
Some of the boys have some novel ideas
that will be uncorked at that time, but
the committee wants every red-blooded
citizen who loves the National game
to be present at the Saturday luncheon
and heln settle the question.
Plans now contemplate getting every
society, club, lodge and fraternal or
nnkitlnn tn nledsre a big delegation
in the opening day parade, and If
.ri,oh of th feminine fans can be
rounded up a special section of the
nrario will be allotted to them.
"And we won't let a darn man In
it," said a member of the executive
committee last night.
The Boosters are elated over the
way the Beavers have been showing
in th pineapple and shark
belt, and the boys are out for that 20.

According to Ryan, Burns has been
training for 10 days, seeking to reduce
excess poundage by strenuous road and
gymnasium work. The Seattle pro
moters have been dickering with the
former heavyweight champion of the
world for three months.
Tommy was prevailed upon to capit
ulate when a- theatrical deal he was
working on in Butte fell through. He
went there a month ago in the hope of
acquiring a theater. A relative, P. J.
Gehrlty. lives there.
"Burns gets a guarantee of $2000 for
the four-round match, win. lose or
draw, with a privilege of a percentage
of the" house," said Ryan. "Tommy is
actually convinced that he can whip
the present crop of heavyweights.
whom he calls jokes. He believes that
Meehan will just be an appetizer and
the stepping-stone to those seated
closer to the championship throne.
Even WUlard Not Feared.
"Aside from whether he makes good
or not. this looks like a soft thing to
Burns. He does not think he would be
taking any chances with Willard him
self in a four-round bout, even in his
present condition."
Those who know Burns are not par
ticularly surprised at the announce
nient. Of recent years he operated
haberdashery stores In Calgary and Ed
monton, Canada. Soon after the war
broke out there were few of bis cus
tomers left and business became de
pressed. While the former champion
