ager McCredie is Betting ready to wield
the pruning- knife. He visited Eddie
Herr. manager of the Salt Lake club.
at the Bees' training camp at Pitts
burs this afternoon and undoubtedly
will srive the Salt Lakers some of .his
surplus talent, which Salt Lake could
use very handily. Reports from Pitts
burg say Herr is not overendowed with
efficient talent.
McCredie has about practically de
cided on the personnel of his infield
outfield and catching department. The
ciuestion of pitchers bothers the big
fellow, as all of the heavers are show
inz rare form.
Del Baker will be first-string catcher
after his excellent showing yesterday
in the St. Mary s game. 'W'irts has the
call on the second-string job over uor
man. although the latter is a likely
looking prospect. McCredie says Wirts

done better with the bat. If. Koeh

According to McCredie.- Blue is one
of the bttet first sackers he has had on
his club in many seasons.' He works
fast around the bag and hits the ball
hard. He has the call on Walters, who

filling in nicely, but Art lacks the ex

McCredie knows where he can land

has clinched the shortstop'!. Job. He
an excellent fielder, gets the ball away

He is sure death tagging base runners.
Fuller has hit well in all the games
and McCredie thinks he will be a star
of the first magnitude.
Eddie Bocart has third base all to
himself. The Portland lad is playin
bang-up ball and Manager McCredie
says he will do. Bogart is a hard hitter
and fast going down to first base. In
what ew games we have seen him be
fielded faultlessly. McCredie plans on
using him as leadoff man. If George
Malsel decides to report he will be sta

use Frank Walker in center. Farmer In

Cox is a vastly improved ballplayer.

The Ditching staff is the problem.
McCredie has an over-abundance of

see Pennington. Iewis, Cooper, Lukano-

the twirlers will be farmed out or re
leased. Probably some of them will be
sent to Salt Lake after McCredie i

If Carrol Jones reports, the Detroit
twirler will crowd some of the heavers
off the' staff. Frank Walker says Jones
has more stuff than any of the pitchers
in camp and If he has. somebody will
have to pack up and leave. Kenneth

the ten-inch limit repealed for the
catching of trout in eastern Oregon.
Thte leaves the Deschutes and all
eastern Oregon streams open until the
fish and game commission can have
them closed by order, which will take
at least until April 1, when the trout

SAN. FRANCISCO, Cal.. March 20.
With the recent enactment of laws per
mitting 25-round boxing matches in
Nevada and 20-round bouts in Idaho,
followers of pugilism look for a re
vival of ring contests in the west which
will, in a measure, approximate the
days when the sport flourished here
half a dozen years ago.
It was in Reno that the Jeffries-
Johnson championship bout was fought
in 1910 for a purse which, up to that
time, was the largest ever offered .for
a ring contest. Being o'n the direct
line of transcontinental railroad travel,
and within hailing distance of San
Francisco, Reno suffered but little
handicap in the matter of getting i
crowd to witness the battle.
California is limited by law to four-
round bouts. An effort is being made
in the present session of the legislature
to permit of 10-round contests. In the
event that this is approved it still
must be voted on by the people and
sanctioned by them before it can be
come a law.
According to the original plans of
Tex Rickard. who is promoting the
Willard-Dempsey championship bout
the fight was to have been staged on
July 4. at a place not yet determined.
Recent developments indicate this date
may not be adhered to. According to
reports, Rickard is said to have ex
pressed the opinion that the celebration
of Independence day this year might
take on a new solemnity, owing to the
great war, which would make a prize
fight out of keeping with the tone and
spirit of the holiday and arouse an
tagonism.
Both Reno and several Idaho towns
are angling for the proposed contest.
The former city has an advantage over
its rivals in the matter of being se
lected by reason of the fact that 25
rounds may be fought in Nevada, where
as the law of Idaho permits only 20
rounds. Other conditions which must
be weighed by the promoter are ac
cessibility, in order to get his crowd,
and the financial Inducements made.

APPROVAL G1VEX RESOLUTION"
Executive Committee of Sportsmen's
League Holds Committee.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Oregon Sportsmen's
league it was voted to adopt the resolu
tion already forwarded to Governor
Olcott requesting that the commercial
and game fishing departments of the
fish and game commission be segre
gated. Ir. Karl C. McFarland voted
against the measure, objecting to the
personal charges against Carl D.
Shoemaker, state fish and game war
den, and Frank Warren, a member of
the commission. There was but one
out-of-town delegate present. Frank
Davenport. Hood River, represented
district No. 5, while Dr.. Karl C. Mc
Farland, IL B. Van Duzer and Marshall
N. Wana represented district No. 1. A.
K. Downs, president of the Oregon
Sportsmen's league, and R. W. Price,
president of the Multnomah Anglers'
club, were present.
"Local sportsmen, while they object
most strenuously to the domination of
the political and commercial interests
on the commission, express keen satis
faction with the work of Portland's
member of the commission, I. N.
Fleischner. and trust that in any re
organization of its affairs that he will
be relieved from the opposition which
we are directing against th others of
the commission," said President Price,
of the Multnomah Anglers' club. "Mr.
Fleischner never misses one of our
meetings and he has done great work
for the game fishermen.'
U-MPQUA SPORTSMEN" PROTEST
Governor Aked to Remove Game
Commission From Politics.
ROSEBL'RG. Or.. March 20. (Spe
cial.) At a. meeting of the Umpqua
Sportsmen's club last night action was
taken that is expected will result in
organized effort to nullify'enactments
of the recent legislature concerning
the fish and game situation in Oregon.
A resolution passed by the club peti
tions the overnor to divorce the fish
and game commission from politics and
commercial influences, and also advo-
CONCKRX1NG the position of, the
ball with respect to the feet, there
is ;not much room fr variation. In
some abnormal cases one finds a player
teeing up the ball almost opposite his
left toe, while a few others bring it
back to a point almost midway be
tween the feet, or even a shade more
to the right. Undoubtedly a mistake is
made in each instance.
The commoner practice is to place
the ball so it is in a line about six
inches to the right of the left heel. The
toes should be turned slightly out
wards. Legs and arms should be a
trifle relaxed. Slackening may be more
pronounced in the arms than in the
legs. They should fall easily to the
sides. Weigh ; of the body should be
well down on the heels and not on the
balls of the feet.
There may be a little more weight
on the right heel than on the left in
the case of the address. The player
should never neglect the precaution of
having plenty of good hobnails in the
soles of his boots.
Spring Fishing Is Good.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. March 20. (Spe
cial.) Resulting, as local anglers be
lieve, from the reconstruction of a
diversion dam at the confluence of the
Hood river with the Columbia, spring
fishing never was better here. Daily
catches of steelheads and salmon trout
are being made. Earl Franz, young
merchant, holds the' season's record for
the largest salmon trout. He landed
one of these game fish weighing 40
ounces, after 10 minutes of strenuous
play yesterday.
Some Dogs Taillos.
BL.ACHL.Y. Or.. March 20. To the

there are any domestic breeds of dogs

Answer: Boston bull terriers are
frequently boVn "bob-tailed." The only
breed of iog born entirely bob-tailed
is the English sheep dog or shepherd.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Se
attle. March 20. (Special.) Between
showers Coach Dode Brinker and his
siiuad of 20 varsity baseball aspirants
have been taking their first workouts
on university field this week. Every
opportunity to practice is being utilized
because of the lateness of the training
season and the snort time until the
season opens.
Washington state college will fur
nish the opposition for the opening
series April 25 and 26. The opening
day, Friday, is campus day here, and
a record crowd should be present to
see the first intercollegiate contest
since the spring of 1916.
A two-game series with California is
proposed for the final week of the
season, when Washington is celebrat
ing homecoming week -for returned
soldiers. This programme is now set
for May 30 and 31. Besides the base
ball, the all-Pacific coast conference
track meet is due to take place at that
time, and if all arrangements now un
der way are successful nearly every
spring sport in- the calendar will be
staged during those two days.

Lew Blue Is Slaking Good at Camp
Crockett ' and Probably Will
Play Initial Sack.
. BY HARRY M. GRAYSON.
Leo A. Dressen, will not play first
base for the Portland Pacific coast
league team this season unless he
shaves quite a portion off of the figure
he telegraphed to Judge William Wal
lace McCredie yesterday. The veteran
at present is employed In a shipyard at
Wilmington, Del.
. Dressfn is a veteran and played in
31 games with Detroit last season, hit
ting but .178. . When Walter Henry
McCredie departed for the southland
he was a bit skeptical about his first
basing prospects and advised Judge
McCredie to ask Dressen for his terms.
Yesterday's message indicates that Leo
is of the opinion that the coast league
is- of the same classification as Ban
Johnson's circuit and the Portland
jurist'declares he will not answer such
an unreasonable demand.
In the meantime Lew Blue is making
good at Crockett. It appears as though
Dressen will have to stay with the
ship constructing league or play in
scane other minor organization, for the
Tigers have Harry E. Heilman back.
and are counting on no" one competing
against him.
Persistent holdout tactics of Out
fielder George Maisel bring to light
the fact that the McCredies had trouble
with all three ex-Seals who originally
came from Detroit. It is alleged that
San Francisco paid Maisel, Catcher Del
Baker and Pitcher Red Oldham money
on the side in violation of the coast
league salary limit.'
Every minor league clu'u with which
Harry Wolverton ever has been con
nected has had financial trouble. Harry
was at the helm of Sacramento when
that city endeavored to break back into
the national game some few years ago,
It is eaid that W. Henry Berry let him
go at the Seal Rocks city in 1917 be
cause . of paying the hired help too
much coin of the realm. Wolverton
managed minor league aggregations in
the east prior to coming out here and
stories run to the effect that they had
similar trouble.

All stockholders in the new Seattle
club are members of the B. P. O. Elks.
President James Brewster, who runs
the Brewster cigar stores at the sound
citv. is a trustee of the Puget sound
lodge. David E. Dugdale is a Drotner
Bill, while Charley Davis, another big
stockholder, has been elected the next
exalted ruler.
"Baseball will go big in our city,"
said Lonnie Austin, big Seattle sports
man, who was in Portland with a cou
ple of boxers this week.- "Dugdale's
park in the Rainier valley now has a
paved road connecting it up with down
town and better car' service will allow
fans to make the run from Brown &
Hulen's to the field in 20 minutes.
About. 300 live ones attended a recent
meeting held at the Seattle Transpor
tation club in the Bailey building.
They all were enthusiastic and I pre
dict a great opening season. The fans
are wild about Brewster and Manager
Bill Clymer. Leave it to the Elks to
put the game across."
It is said that Bill Clymer will draw
$6000 a year as leader of the Seattle
nine. Judge McCredie doubts it, how
ever, and is of the opinion that the Se
attle directors will be conservative,
like all wise owners should be. If Cly
mer does draw this much he is prob
ably the highest-priced minor league
manager in the game.

ERNIE JOHNSON SAYS SEASON
IS GREAT SUCCESS.
Influenza Epidemic Interferes With
Vancouver' and Victoria in
Early Part of Season.
"Never in the history of the Pa
cific coast ice hockey association
has a season been as successful as the
one just closed," said Ernie "Moose'
Johnson, who played with Portland all
the time the Rose City was represented
and during the 1918-19 campaign with
the Victoria aggregation. Johnson re
turned to Portland yesterday and ex
pects to remain here for a few weeks
at least. He is. undecided as to whether
he will go to Victoria this summer.
"We played to some great houses,1
he continued, "and ttie first game we
played in Victoria there were about
3300 on hand. The attendance jumped
to between 5000 and 6000 for the rest
of the season and our big game was
against Vancouver at Vancouver, B. C,
when we attracted 8000 people.
"Seattle and Vancouver managed to
draw the capacity house of the year
at Seattle when better than 10,000 are
said to have witnessed the hockey
game. The teams were evenly matched
and were bunched up until the last
week, when Seattle won the champion
ship from Vancouver.
"Vancouver and Victoria had con
siderable hard luck soon after the
schedule opened and at one time four
of the regulars on the 'Victoria sextet
were in the hospital with the influenza
and the team had to travel with but
six players. There was only one un
fortunate incident during the year and
that happened to "Mickey" Mackay.
Cully Wilson of Seattle struck little
Mackay, knocking out six or seven
teeth, cutting his cheek wide open
and breaking his jaw.
'It indeed was a vicious thing. I am
told, and as a result Wilson was fined
$60. This one thing had a great deal
to do with keeping the Millionaires
from winning the title, for : Mackay
was out for the rest of the season and
he was one of the stars o the circuit
As per usual. Cyclone Taylor led the
league in scoring."
According to press reports "Moose"
Johnson had the best year of his ca
reer until he was taken down with the
influenza. Portland fans who have
seen the big defense man tearing along
on steels can Imagine how good ho
was going. Along with Clem Lough
lin and Lester Patrick he kept the
Aristocrats in the running for a long
time. Johnson is in hopes of seeing
ice hockey again In Portland. The
entire Portland Uncle Sam squad re
verted to Victoria when the local man
agement refused to enter the league.
SEATTLE LEADS BY ONE GAME

Saturday's Hockey Game to Be
Played Under Eastern Rules.
SEATTLE, March 20. Seattle"s Met
ropolitans, champions of the west, to
day, were one game ahead of Mon
treal's Les Canadiens, champions of the.
east. In a series being played here to
determine the world hockey title. In
the first game, played here last night,
Seattle won 7-0.
Seattle played in what has been
described as whirlwind championship
form. The local puck chasers clearly
outskated and outchecked the visitors.
Les Canadiens, playing on strange ice
and under western rules, new to them,
seem handicapped. Saturday the sec
ond game will be played under eastern
rules.

the Iowa house of representatives this
afternoon, thus putting an end to the
agitation for this session.
Eddie Bogart's great snowing with
the Beavers at Crockett is not surpris
ing to the "semi-professional fans of

up in the spring. He hit .311 and field
ed for a mark of .895 with Aberdeen
last season, and if the ex-Piedmont
Maroon perks up and quits fighting the

be a wonderful help to the Mackmen.
