Judge Williaim Wallace McCredie.
president of the Portland baseball club.
is doubly confused over the status of
Clarence O. Smith, pitcher obtained
from New Orleans In exchange for
Outfielders Sullivan and Daniels.
Smith, in a letter to Secretary Farrell.
of the national association, claims to be :
a free scent as the result of the alleged
non-receipt of a contract from the New
Orleans or Portland clubs, mailed be
fore March 1.
In a letter from A. J. Heinemann.
president of the Pelicans, the Southern I
association prexy merely advises the 1
good judge not to lose Smith, char
acterizing Mm as a sterling heaver but
a "peculiar" fellow. Both the local bar
rister and his nephew know all about
"United States" or "Pop Boy," as he is
known in the south, and what they
want to learn is whether or not New
Orleans still has him in its possession.
Judge McCredie previously had beea
advised by President Heinemann that
a contract was mailed to Smith by the
Pelicans prior to Starch 1. Portland's
contract to Smith was not forwarded
until March 3. Smith is in Fort Worth,
Texas, having come out of the wilds
of ol' Kentucky. Judge McCredie will
write once more to the head of the
Southern association club in an effort
to clear up the subject.
Outfielder C. F. Walker wrote judge
McCredie advising him that his ex
penses from Rocky Mount, N. C. to
Crockett amounted to 1142 and stamped
the old "please remit" sign at the bot
torn of the love letter. The Beaver

McOraw seems to figure that he will
need a lot of managerial aides during
the coming flag race. The leader of all

cost of living and if the figures cor
respond with Dixie's, he'll get a check
pronto. Walker paid his own expenses.
Outfielder Walker and Pitcher
Ceorge Pennington have asked Judge
McCredie to locate apartments for tbem
In Portland. They have heard from the
Portland delegation at Crockett that
apartments and houses are hard to find
here. All prospective landlords are
urged to give the Portland magnate
the well-knonwn telephone call.
-
A telegramfrom Frank Navin. Be
troit. informs the Portland baseball
company that First Raseman I .Co Dres
sen wishes to play with St. Paul if he
has to go to a minor league club. The
Portland owners are not particular, al
though they would like to have Leo,
and Judge McCredie telegraphed Prexy
avln iast night advising the Tiger
boss that Porotland would make no
further effort to oMain the veteran.
Loads of mail awaited Judge William
Wallace McCredie upon his return from
San Francisco yrsterday. One letter
came from Arthur Koehler, catcher and
first baseman obtained from Detroit.
According to the information Koehler
gives the Jirdge. ho ought to be released
from the army in which he is stationed
in California within a couple of days.
"My original application for discharge
was disapproved but I'm certain I'll be
mustered out within JO days," said
Koehler.
Thelctter was mailed March 21. so
mathematically speaking, Mr. Koehler
should be shoving into Crockett the
end of the week for it will take him a
couple of days to travel from his sta
tion to Crockett. Koehler declares that
he's in fine fettle and with a couple
days- of hitting practice will be ready
lor the opening of the season.
Judge McCredie spent only a half day
night before and all the boys were do-
at Crockett Friday. It had rained the
ing was a little fungn hitting.
"No club wanted Paddy Siglin be
eau2e they could not pay him what he
demands and remain within the salary
limit." said the Beaver prexy. "ft did
not take me two minutes to get waiv
ers on him. The report that Oakland
offered him a better salary is ridic
ulous. Cal Kwing told me there was
no truth in it.

Judge McCredie says that the coast
league schedule will be released within
two or three days. Portland remains
home three weeks after the opening
of the season here Veunesday, April
23, Against Vernon. Seattle will be an
opponent during another of the three
weeks and then Portland will hit the

nant. ec he can step over to the mag
rating end with a world's record for
flag winning to his credit.
Gcoree Gibson has been hired to
coach the pitchers. Captain Mathew
son is to serve as assistant manager
until such time as McGraw names him
boss.
Th latest coach to be added to the
Giant roster is none other than "Lib
erty" Schacfer, formerly known as
"Germany." admittedly baseball's great
est comedian under wbatsover name he
may choose to select.
Every veteran player in the coast
league this season is predicting that
Clint Prouch will have a big season
with Sacramento.

ALAMEDA, Cal.. March SO. (Special.)
A couple of days ago Walter McCre

leased Pitcher Harry Morton, a San
Francisco sandlot product, because he
thought he was not a real pitcher, but
maybe' now McCredie wishes that he
had waited a while. McCredie sent a
bunch of Beaver yannigans here from
Crockett to play Katto's all-stars, and
they returned home with a 1 to 0 defeat

for the stars and allowed only one hit,
which was made in the ninth inning
after two were out. and two strikes
were called on "Kettle" Wirts. Mor

Hurdler Is In France, but Details of
Whether He AVfll Take Part In
Contests Are.Kot Known.
BY EARL R. GOODWIN.
While nothing definite has been
learned, there is a great possibility that
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club
will be represented at the athletic
games of the American expeditionary
forces in Paris next June.
Letters have been coming across the
Atlantic from the boya who are waiting
their turn to return to the United
States and several of the Portland com
panies have star athletes who are said
to be listed for the contests. Among
the famous "Winged M" athletes over
seas is Sergeant Walter A. Hummel,
who made several national records and
was national quarter-mile hurdle cham
pion in 1916, which, honor he won at
Newark, N. J.
In 1917 he was in the army, and with
but a few weeks' training went east
to compete in the title events of the
American Athletic union, taking third
in the 440-yard hurdles. At present
Hummel is stationed with the 364th
field hospital company, 316th sanitary
train of the 91st division, and several
letters received by the writer from
members of his old outfit state that
Hummel may be one of the American
athletes left in Paris to enter the cham
pionships. Transfer May Be in Store.
Sergeant Hummel is anxious to get
back home to his old haunts in Port
land, for he says that he has had
enough of Europe for one long stretch,
anyway. According to letters from
Jimmy Vranizan and Leonard I. Kauf
man and from Hummel himself, the
winged "M" star was sent to Tours,
France, to take charge of some of the
athletics, and to those who know any
thing about army "doings" it looks as
though a transfer was in etore for the
hurdler.
In a letter received last night Hum
mel stated that, after much maneuver
ing, he had been returned to his com
pany, much to hig happiness, and that
ho is in line to return to America with
his old organization, but stranger
things than a transfer at the last
moment have happened in the life of a
young soldier.
T. Morris Dunne, secretary-treasurer
of the Pacific Northwest association.
has been in communication with Secre
tary Frederick W. Rubien of the Ama
teur Athletic union for some time, Sec
retary Rubien wanting to know what
western, athletes are overseas at pres
ent.
Eastern men interested in the out
come of amateur athletics are rather
dubious about the chances of the United
States making a big showing in the
Paris games because the return of so
many troops to this country is weak
ening the American athletic team over
there. There is talk of a movement
being put on foot to have several stars
who have returned to this side sent
back to France to battle with the best
of them on the track and field in June.
Many Athletea Return.
According to Everett C. Brown, pres
dent of the South Shore Country club
of Chicago and American commissioner
to tho Olympic games held in Athens,
London and Stockholm, in an article in
eastern papers there is hardly a trans
port docked at Atlantic ports that does
not bring back athletes of national
prominence.
Mr. Brown believes that a strong
team can be organized on this side in
time to go to France, that is, if trials
will be held in various parts of the
country, just as they were for Olympic
games. The winners could be sent to
concentration camp in the east and
shipped to France aboard one of the
battleships or transports returning for
more soldiers.
Now that the government has taken
over the railroads, Mr. Brown believes
that arrangements could be made
easily to transport athletes to the
eastern seacoast training camp.
Whether any trials will be held in
the northwest remains to be seen and
othing will be done until word Is re
ceived from the east by T. Morris
Dunne or A. DuBois Wakeman, chain
man of the registration committee for
the Pacific Northwest association, both
with headquarters in the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club.
