Willie Meehan made his farewell appearance In a Kan Francisco ring on Friday nicht, when he boxed Kruvosky four rounds at Dreamland rink. Meehan leaves on Monday tor San Picgo, where he will sink Into the garb of an able seaman, third class or something of the sort. , So it waa fit and proper ftist Willie should have his last send-off In the town of his birth and bringing up. Mrehan boxed Kruvosky once before. it waa the night of the day that Mc oy was taken 111 and couldn t appear. Willie went on with an hour'a notice and boxed a draw. But Phat Willie was sure he could do better with more training; hence Ihe return engagement. Willie long ago gave up hope of i fight In lenver with Fulton or Drmp soy or any of the topnotchers. Also he decided that Fred Windsor, who had been sending him all the messages, was doing nothing more than stall. Willie save out a letter in which Wind sor spoke of the money the pair could make with a scrap In Ihe Colorado center. And when Windsor came through San Francisco thla last week he waa sore enouch to step all over Willie. Said he never wanted to steal the San Fran cisco boy; only wanted to borrow him off Moose Taussig for a matter of a few days, and that he would be shipprd bark right side up. Windsor Insists that Willie never did want to fight, and-says he's off him for life. The former manager of Monk Fow ler, who haa been taken into the Navy, is shy any scrappers, and is on the lookout for talent of any sort. Fred plana to visit Ioa Angeles, and says if there are any likely looking youngsters he will not be averse to taking a couple of them under his wing. " AT WIIXIAMS.

Ortega knocked Barry down three times and disfigured him not a little. remaps it proves that Al McCoy was right when he said Kruvosky couldn't hit hard enough to break an eggshell. At all events, it hasn't tended to help the reputation of Kruvosky with his fellow townsmen. The signed contract of Catcher Mon eymaker, of Chehalis, Wash., was re eclved at baseball headquarters yes terday.

WILLARD'S TAX IS HEAVY FIGHTER WILL HAVE TO ON NEARLY S200.000. Other Boxers Due to Dig Deep for In come Tax Collector Leonard, Greb and Dundee Hardest Hit. The schedule for April was drawn up Tally, at the meeting of the Columbia-Wil lamette Shipbuilding Baseball League at the office of President Fred N. Bay, Tuesday night. April 28 was as far as the league directors could get, as it is not yet known what schedule the Pa cific Coast International League will adopt. As the Shipbuilders' League will use the Vaughn-street grounds when the Portland club is away, all they can do is sit back and wait until the league moguls get together and figure out their schedule; then the Shipbuilders' League will be able to finish theirs. The Shipbuilders League will open here on April 7, with the Northwest Steel Company meeting Cornfoot at the Vaughn-street grounds. The Founda tion Company will meet the Standifer- Clarkston team at Vancouver and the Supple-Ballin nine will, clash with the Grant Smith-Porter aggregation at St PAY Johns. A representative of the Peninsula Shipbuilding Company was on hand last night with the franchise money and ready to enter the league, but as it is not yet certain whether St. Helens will enter a ban club a detinue answer could not be given to the new entry. In order to bring the league up to an eight-team circuit another out-of-town team must enter and it is up to St. Helens to fill the bill. There are a the "city Zybszko are dut to meet again. The two leading heavyweight grapplcrs of the country have agreed to clash at Madison Square Gardens, New York, on March 19. Lewis and Zybszko, or, rather, their respective managers, Billy Sandow and Jack Curley, have been barking at each other through the public prints for several weeks. Sandow has been con tending that Messrs. Curley, Meyers, Zybszko and Joe Stecher. the prin cipals In all the big matches staged thus far in the garden, are hi league together in discriminating against Lewis. gybszko has also agreed to let Lewis use his famous headlock.

As a result of the showing made by his recruits in the game against Rod Murphy's Marines last Saturday at Sac ramento, Bill Rodgers Is more confident than ever of the hopes of the Senatorial club. Especially pleased is Rodgers with Shortstop Elliott, who played the job like a veteran. "Babe" Plnelli on third seems to Tiavc made a decided hit with Rodgers. The Sacramento pilot knows the ability of Plnello and will give the youngster every chance in the world to make good as a regular. Lloyd Snook, who enjoyed a tryout with the Portland club a number of years ago. Is to be offered a contract with the Senators as a result of the showing he made last Saturday against the Marines. Snook wan taken out after the sixth inning In the gam against the Marines in order not to overwork him. During the time Snook was on the mound he held Rod Mur phy's soldiers of the sea to one lone tally. Denny V ilic. former Portland out fielder, is banging the ball at a great clip for Sacramento in' the daily prac tice games. Both W ilie and Ike Wolfer have their batting eyes in great trim and Wilie is sure of a berth, whi ager. Tom Jones, thinks Jess will have to pay an income tax on $200,000. Leonard reaped a harvest last vear. He had 25 battles and totaled around 1100.000. Johnny Dundee is among those who win nave to pay a big tax. He figured in no less than 30 contests last year and got oig money for all of them. Harry Greb, the Pittsburg middleweight, beat Dundee's record by two bouts and will likewise have to schedule a lot of money earned on which the revenue col lector will assess him. Pearl Smith, manager af Billv Miske. sends along some dope on the present Heavyweight situation. The reason. Billy Miske," he writes, has been so idle lately is because no one will fight him. inasmuch as we re fuse to do business. If we have to do that to get matches, then it is about time to quit the game, for Miske never faked a fight in his life, and what's more, never will, so when our friends bet on Miske they are sure to know that he will do his best. As for Jack Dempsey, nothing would suit us better than to get a chance at this near-star. but every time anyone mentions Miske you can't see them for dust. The Capi tal City Athletic Club, of St. Paul, has Wolfer will make some of the more been trying for two weeks to get Demp- experlenced players hustle some if they expect to nose him out for one of the outer garden berths. Catcher Danny Murray, of the Oak and club and who formerly donned the Portland spangles, has been notl fied to report and take a physical ex amination in the draft. The backstop was examined once at San rranclsco and turned down, but there is no tell ing what decision will be reached this week when Murray visits the medicos. MI Indications would serve to show that Murray will be wearing a windpad with the Oaks when the season starts. The Injured hand has Improved since recent operation so that he can now oss the ball around with tne same deadly accuracy of last season, accord- ng to word from Boyes Springs, where he Oaks are encamped. William B. Ryan, of the Foundation Company, was appointed last night to head a committee to make a final try to land St. Helens. He will go there Sunday with Lawrence A. Spangler and C. W. Craig to induce Mr. McCormack, of the McCormack Shipbuilding Com pany, to put a ball club in the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuilders League. The officers of the league have prom ised to furnish the McCormack Com pany with a capable manager and ball players if they will take out a franchise. The A. G. Spaulding Bros.' ball was chosen as the official league ball at last night's meeting. It. was also voted at last night's meeting that hereafter the league meetings will te open to only the officers of the league and the managers of the teams. Following is the schedule for April of the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuild ers League: April 7 Foundation vs. Sandifer-Clark- ston. at Vancouver: Supple-Ballin vs. Grant- Smith-Porter, at St. Johns; Cornfoot vs. Northwest Steel, at Vaughn-street grounds.

Cook, of the "sub" base, who inado a hurried trip to the Seals' training camp, is true. Harry Hcilniann. Detroit first-hncker and outfielder, will also be a member of the baseball club in the near future. Heilman promised Howard Ehmke. for mer Detroit pitcher, now In tho service at tho San Pedro submarine base, that ho will soon be ready to enlist. If "Indian" Smith hearkens to tho call of the colors and decides to be come a sailor, the San Francisco club will be sadly up against it the coming season. With Biff Schaller gone and Smith getting ready to leave, the San Fran cisco owners will have to do some tall scouting within the next few days if they expect to have any kind of a ball club.

Bill Hayward passed a comfortable Ight at the Portland Medical Hoa pital. and, according to the doctors, his condition Is much Improved. The Uni- erslty of Oregon track coach received umerous callers yesterday, and said expected to be back on the Job at ugene within two weeks. The physicians attending Hayward ill make no definite statement at this time regarding whether an operation ill be necessary, but Hayward told hem yesterday that if he had to sub mit lo an operation he wanted them to get busy and get It over with. "I want to get back to Eugene and take care of those track men," said Hayward while propped up In his bed. "I glory in the .task of developing In experienced youngsters, and the fact that I have no lettermen on the squad Is all the more reason why I want to be back on the Job. When you have a lot of stara there la not much work to do, but when you can pull the rooks out of the shell and send them out on the cinder path and win. that is when you are a real coach, and that is Just exactly what I want to do. If they let me out of here within the next two weeks I'll dig out a few phenoms be fore the track season Is over." While Hayward worries considerable about track prospects at Oregon, it does not seem probable that he will be able to do any strenuous work again this season.
