LEAGUE MEETING DATE SET
JUDGE McCRKDIK WILL ATTEND
SAX FRANCISCO SESSION.
David Dugdale Plans Organization
of Stock Company to Handle AS
fairs of Seattle Team.
Judge McCredie yesterday received a
letter from Allan T. Baum, president
of the Pacific coast League, in response
to an inquiry by the Portland magnate
concerning the date of the next meet
ing of the Pacific Coast League, saying
they would hold forth at the St. Fran
cis Hotel, San Francisco, Saturday.
February J.
Rumors that the directors would as
semble at San Francisco February 1,
at which time It is proposed to vote
Portland and Seattle into the Pacific
Coast League, were current, but until
yesterday no official word had been re
ceived at baseball headquarters.
"The league meeting will be held at
the St. Francis Hotel, San Francisco,
Saturday, February 1, and we will be
glad to have you back with us once
more," wrofe President Baum.
Judge McCredie, accompanied by
Walter McCredie. who will manage the
Portland team, and David Dugdale,
owner of the Seattle baseball franchise,
will leave Portland one week from to
day for the league meeting. In the
meantime Judge McCredie is busy scan
ning the schedule he has mapped out
for the magnates approval.
David Dugdale is interesting Seattle
capitalists in organizing a stock com
pany to handle the Puget Sound me
tropolis team in the Pacific Coast
League. Many offers to sell his fran
chise and park have been made to Dug
dale since it became known Seattle and
Portland would become part and parcel
of the Pacific Coast League, but Dug
dale raises the ante after each offer.
Seattle is one of the best baseball
franchises in the West if placed in the
hands, of people popular with Seattle
fans
SENATORS'
PLAN S
STARTED
Rodgcrs to Make Tour of California
to Find Material.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 22. CSpe
cial.) Now that the Pacific Coast
League is a certain thing. Wild Bill
Rodgers. manager of the yipping raw
meat-eating Senators, has resigned his
job of selling tractors and will devote
all his energy between, now and the
opening of the league in forming a pen
nant winning popular club for Sacra
mento.
With the Coast League having eight
clubs, nothing can stop the league
from being a big success, according to
Bill. There Is to be no salary limit. The
war is over and everything is bright
for a great baseball season and all
managers are against any retrenchment
and will put baseball on in the flour
ishing old-time manner.
From the present outlook of things
Rodgers does not have to go far for a
popular club, as he has it already, and
for a pennant winning one he does not
have to make many changes, as he has
a collection of great players.
Every player that was with the
Senators when last season ended wants
to come back to Sacramento. They like
the way the people here backed them
up. they like the city, they like the cli
mate and they like their hard-fighting,
popular manager who is always in the
game.
Pinelli. Eldred. Forsythe. Wilie, East
erly. McNuity and Bromley have been
playing with the Crockett Sugar Re
Rining team and they won the state
championship of post-season games.
They beat such teams as the Quarter
masters, and the Shipyard nines that
have in their line-up mostly players
from the Coast and big leagues.
Jack Bromley won 16 straight games
that he hurled for the Crockett nine and
only last Sunday they lost their first
game when? Pittsburg defeated them.
The Crocketts. beat Pittsburg six times,
so the latter cannot claim to be the
champs.
Rodgers is ow sending out contracts
and he has "Spike" Hennessey, trainer
of the club last season, scouting for
him around the Bay for players. Hen
nessey signed a young catcher of the
name of Anfinson yesterday.
In due time Bill himself is going to
make a tour of California and look over
the young material in the state to see
what he can pick up.
Rodgers will go to San Francisco first
1 and then he will go south as far as Los
Angeles.

SLUGGING. ENDS IN DRAW.
Johnny Trambilas, in Match With
Bud Ridley, Forgets to Duck
and Makes F.arly Exit.
Bobby Evans, accompanied by his
group of ringsters arrived back "In
Portland from Seattle yesterday. Kid
Herman, Muff Bronson and Johnny
Trambitas were the trio who made
the trip North.
Herman fought a remarkable four
round draw with Johnny McCarthy in
the main bout Tuesday night at Se
attle. The two welterweights crowded
a lot of slugging into the four rounds
and the fans were on their feet every
second. It was a much faster and
more exciting battle than the six
round bout staged in Portland.
McCarthy was in great form and
gave Herman everything he had In
stock and the Mexican took it without
flinching. In the second round Mc
Carthy uncorked a right swing that
landed on Herman's jaw and the dark
skinned battler showed a list to star
board but quickly righted himself and
came back fighting mad and had the
crowd standing up in their seats. The
boys stood toe-to-toe and exchanged
wallops every second.
Bronson put up a good fight against
r'het Neff, Referee Whitman calling
the bout a draw. The crowd boo-hooed
Neff for his holding tactics.
Johnny Trambitas. brother of Alex
and Valley ( Jimmy Darcy) Trambitas.
made his debut against Bud Ridley in
the special event and was going good
until he forgot to duck. He made his
exit in the first round.
The Crystal Pool, where the bout.'
were held was crowded to capacity.
CHICAGO HAS NEW ASPIRAN I
Stockyards Tommy Murphy. Late of
Navy, to Resume Ring Career.
CHICAGO. Jan. 22. Chicago has
new aspirant for middleweight boxing
honors In Stockyards Tommy Murphy,
proud wearer of a gold service stripe
earned aboard a submarine chaser en
gaged in convoy service. Murphy is
home with his honorable discharge pa
pers after IS months in the Navy, and
is ready to resume his ring activity.
Previous to becoming a bluejacket.
Murphy boxed at an unfortunate
weight. He was too heavy for the
welters and too light for the middles,
with the result that he had to fight
the latter class, and always under a
handicap. After donning the Navy uni
form and feeding upon Uncle Sam's
"chow" he picked up weight until he
is now a full-fledged 160-pounder.
Stockyards Tommy is a pupil of
Packey McFarland, who came from the
same neighborhood. He has Packey's
speed and the McFarland knack of hit
ting from all angles, coupled with a
knockout punch.
"The Army has praised boxing be
cause of Its close relation to bayonet
fighting," said Tommy, "but I would
like to get in a word of praise from
my own experiences. Aboard a sub
chaser a man is liable to be swept
overboard if be isn't quick on his feet.
When one of those nervous little
chasers hits a rough sea they do every
thing but stand on end, and come dan
gerously close to doing that. Many a
time I've thanked my footwork learned
In a boxing ring."
One of Tommy's greatest disappoint
ments was that he never engaged in a
submarine battle. He said his chaser
arrived on the scene several moments
after a U-boat had submerged. This
was during the raid on the American
Coast.
Morrissey Defeats Young.
SALT LAKE, Jan. 22. (Special.)
Lee Morrissey won a six-round decision
over Ned Young here Monday night in
a fast fight. Morrissey, who has been
in Portland for some time, surprised
the local fans with his clever work
and forced the going throughout the
bout.

Honors for Best Story Brought
From Battlefront.
Mary strange stories have been told
about the troops as they were waiting
to go "over the top." but the palm for
relating the best one yet goes to C.
O. Nelson, 837 Moore avenue, Portland,
who returned Monday from overseas,
where he was with the Marines in the
famous Belleau Wood battle and was
decorated with the Croix de Guerre.
Before enlisting with the Marines In
1917, Nelson was well known locally aa
a semi-pro ballplayer. In the Fall of
1916, Nelson was stranded in Los An
geles and as luck would have it the
Portland baseball team was playing the
Angels at the time. .
Here is Nelson's story as told yes
terday: "I was broke in Los Angeles," said
Nelson, 'and went up to the Roslyn
Hotel and met Walter McCredie. I
asked him for enough money to get a
few meals on and send a telegram for
money. McCredie offered me (5 but I
took only $2.50. I never did pay him
back. But. when the Marines were
waiting to go over the top, June 3, it
all came back to me.
"The captain stood In front of us
with his watch in his hand waiting for
6:30, at which time we were to take
the big drive. It was 5:27 when he
said 'three minutes more boys and we
go.' Do you know what came into my
mind then? By golly, the fact that I
still owed Walter McCredie $2.50, and I
made a resolution right that second, be
tween saying a few prayers, that If
ever I lived and reached Portland I'd
pay McCredie back the money."
And Nelson pulled a Knights of Co
lumbus overseas envelope out of his
pocket with the money in it and Mc
t'redie's name addressed thereon.

BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22. (Special.)
Willie Ritchie is through with the
fight game.
Jimmy Coffroth. promoter, has Just
offered to the former lightweight
champion a match with Kid Ted Lewis.
Coffroth figured that It would be a
strong attraction for one number on
his coming programme. But Ritchie
didn't take kindly to the suggestion
and Sunshine Jim as much as admitted
the other night that the right would
never take place.
Ritchie told Coffroth not In so
many words that he is done with the
fight game. He prefers to stick to his
berth as a boxing instructor In Army
circles and while ho Is still awaiting
official confirmation of his appoint
ment he feels sure It will come.
Also this is going to give the for
mer UghtA-elght champion a chance to
stay in San Francisco and enjoy him
self. And he would rather live In Sun
Francisco than any other spot that 1
know.
Willie feels that he Is finished with
the professional game and while he
realizes there would be a chance for
him to coin some money for himself
he prefers to pass up that chance and
play it safe.
As a battered pug he wouldn't go
well as a social favorite in the dances
about the city and he knows It right
well
