Mc Corraack. of St. Helen's, ar, Felix Som marstrom, of Columbia City, which is a few miles from 6L Helena, the Portland representatives persuaded the two cit ies to get together and enter a ball team in the Shipbuilders' League, which will be known as the St. Helens-Columbia City team. St. Helens and Co lumbia City wanted to play independ ent ball this season, but after the con ference decided they would combine and take out a franchise in the newly organised Shipbuilders' League.' Those who made the trip with Ryan to get St. Helens in the league were L. A. Spangler, C. Vf. Craig, Harry Cas aon and A. H. Gould.

Grant smltn-forter-uuthrie Company and the Columbia River Ship building Company. Whether or Not to Let Teams With Such Members on List Play on Grounds of Organized Clubs Matter to Be Settled Soon. If teams In the shipbuilder's leaguer up and down the coast having sus pended players of organized baseball on their roster figure they can play their games in the parka of organized baseball when the home team is on the road they are likely to run into a snag. ' A, number of players of both the Pa cific Coast and Pacific Coast, Inter national Leagues have declare their intentions of not playing professional baseball this coming season', but in stead will work in the shipyards and play with teams in the shipbuilders league. i While there is no rule against sus pended players playing with independ ent teams against Independent teams in the parks of organized baseball it is being whispered about that the Pacific Coast League and Pacific Coast Inter national League -may see fit to adopt such a rule. ? There is a rule In organized base ball that no player suspended or dls qualified by one club may play with or against any other club in organized baseball, or play with an independent team against a club of organized base ball. . - .. While there has been only a few players who have announced their in tention of quitting professional base ball to loin the shipyards' league it will be Interesting to watch the move ments of the two leagues of organized baseball on the Coast. Nothing wili be done, it is thought. until it is known how many players actually refuse to report when the Pacific Coast League or Pacific Coast International League season starts. The teams of the Portland Ship builders' League have not decided where they will play their league fames when the Portland team Is on the road. It might be that they will not want the . use of the Vaughn- street grounds. Judge McCredie was asked yesterday what he knew of the rumor and said as far as he knew there was nothing to it and it made no difference with him. No action will be taken by Judge McCredie to place a ban on suspended players from playing with the shipbuilders' League on his park unless the Pacific Coast Inter national League acts as a body. . Judge McCredie yesterday mailed a contract to Cliff Lee at his home in Denver. According to the "Rule Book' contract must be mailed to Lee be fore March 1 and it was with the Idea of conforming to the laws of the Na tional pastime that McCredie forwarded Lee a contract. No word has come from the National Commission regarding the status of Player Lee. - At present there Is a three-cornered squabble on for posses sion of the promising outfielder.

" SERIES Campus Much Interested In Games to Be Played on Oregon Floor To night and Tomorrow. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Feb. 22. (Special) Four basketball games between the varsity, and the Oregon Aggie quintets are occupying the attention of fandora in the univer sity, and not even war and the strenu ous military programme which the men students have to face daily can squelch entirely the loop game talk. More real interest Is being centered on the games of tonight and tomorrow night than upon almost any sport event on the university calendar. "You're next. Aggies," and "Go get 'em, Oregon," are the campus slogans which are stirring up the "old fight" In Coach Hayward' a warriors. There is no strong showing of confidence that Oregon will be able to down the Aggie first team In any quarter, but chances of the freshmen handing two defeats to the visiting "rooks" are considered good. The 48-to-23 victory of Coach Walker's first-year men over the Che mawa five last week offers concrete evidence of the marked improvement of the Oregon babes over their form In the Corvallis games with the Aggie in fants three weeks ago. It was an entirely rejuvenated var sity team that chalked up two wins over the University of Washington in the games of Monday and Tuesday nights, but it is not the kind of an ag gregation which Coach Hayward would be satisfied to send against the O. A. C. five, which victories and comparative scores indicate to be the strongest in the conference. Hayward has not given out his line up for the opening game with the orange and black tonight, but it is ex pected that Medley and Lind will play the positions which Morrison and Com fort filled in the previous games with O.

Yep, "Spike" of Reef Hennessey has signed up with BUI Rodgers as trainer and "trunk packer' for the Senators. spike Is well known In the baseball circles Of the Paclfld Coast. He Is a great descendant of the Irish race and a jovial character. Hennessey wears no medals for ever having done any great amount or hard labor, but it Is a hobby with him to be around a baseball park in the Summer and art as chief dls penser of dope for the hot-stove league during the off season. Hennessey was a great admirer of Nick Williams, former Portland Colt manager. While Nick was running the Portland club and later the Spokane Indians he bad Hennessey rummaging around the bushes In California for likely talent. m hen it came time for Spring train ng Hennessey was always waiting for Williams at the camp when the blpnde manager arrived.

The crew went on to the boathouse, leaving Leader and five others In the balky launch. The Target finally drifted into Madi son Park. meaner ana the engineer stayed with the launch, while the four students set out across country for the campus, arriving about 8:30 P. M.

Peninsula Cadets Win. , All' of the battlers who will appear on the Pacific Athletic Club card which will be staged at the Eleventh-street Playhouse on Wednesday night, Febru ary 27, put In another hard day of training yesterday. The postponement of the all-star card from last WedneB day to the coming Wednesday Is giving all of the boys on the bill a chance to get in the best possible condition and the fistic fans should see some live bat ties as the result. George Ingle, the crack Seattle light weight, who has Tought every light weight of prominence on the Coast in the last five years, is rounding into great shape for his six-round tilt with Alex Tratnbltas in the main event. In gle worked nine rounds in the gymnas ium yesterday afternoon. He took on Frankie Rogers, Joe Gorman and Fred Gilbert for three rounds apiece and traveled like a "house a-fire." Yester day morning he took a five-mile hike out on the Terwilliger boulevard with Rogers, and his wind is near perfect for this bout. Frankie Rogers, the Se attle 140-pounder, who accompanied Ingle here, acting as his chief sparring partner, is a rugged mixer and should give Walter Knowlton a good fight in their bout, which is one of the prelim inaries on the card. . . Ingle Out to Hake fcood. This is Ingle's firs a aDDearance in Portland and he is out to make good. In meeting Trambitas he will be stack lng up with one of the best lightweights on the Pacific Coast, barring none. Al though only 16 years old, Trambitas has proved himself a remarkable per former in the squared circle and hii work for his age and ring experience has been little short of wonderful. Alex is also working hard for the match and is in tip-top condition al ready. He is training dally with Wal ter Knowlton, Vincent Montpier and Jimmy Moscow. In meeting Ingle, Trambitas will be going up against the tiffest fistio proposition that he has met with in his short and meteoric career, but he is confident that he can take the former San Francisco boxer's measure and once more be rated as one of the kingpin lightweights of the Pa- ific Coast. Marty Farrell, the New York middle weight, worked out for his first time n Portland yesterday afternoon and if he boxes in the ring like he does in the gymnasium the Portland fistic fans are due to see one of the cleverest middle weights in the world In action. Farrell looks like the "real McCoy", and steps around like a champion. Marty is booked to meet Pat Bradley, the St. Paul colored middleweight, who has championship aspirations. Bradley was on his way to. San Francisco and Oakland, hunting for matches with Ortega, Barrleau, Farrell, King and other crack mittlewelghts that were boxing on the Pacific Coast, when he stopped off here to meet Romeo Hagen. Hoping to land a topnotch bout here) Bradley decided to stay over after his win over Hagen and he has been rewarded with a match with one of the best 158 pounders in the country. Bradley la Confident. Whether he is good enough to defeat Farrell is a big question,' but he seems confident enough, so it is up to him to do some tall battling on Wednesday night. Farrell Is after matches with Mick King and Al Sommers and expects to polish off Bradley in short order, i Four other all-star bouts will com plete the card which looks to be one of the best here this year. - Evans has pulled two cracker-jack boxing shows under the regime of the Boxing Com mission and is out to uphold his repu tation. The other matohes on the bill are Joe Gorman, of Oakland, featherweight champion of the Northwest, versus Young Sam Langford, of San Fran cisco, at 130 pounds; Vincent Montpier, of Portland, former Multnomah Club lightweight champion, versus Fred Gil bert, the Bend Bearcat, at. 145 pounds; Walter Knowlton, former Pacific Coast lightweight champion, versus Frankie Rogers, of Seattle, at 140 pounds; and Jimmy Hogan, of Pofttlad, versus Young Benny Leonard, of Portland, at 112 pounds. ready to battle for the title again the Washington and Jefferson stari To keep the fans on their fe throughout the evening, Muldoon hal arranged a number of sprint race.? which will be run off between periods The game and races will be finlshe by 9 o'clock, and the public can skat' from 9 until 11 o'clock.
