"While plans for organization and

Reports from abroad say France, j
England, Italy and the Scandinavian
countries already have begun training.

of
M'COBMICK HIES SOUTH
The coming directors meeting of
the Pacific Coast league is to be con
fronted by more than the one problem
of salary limits. The schedule for
next year Is going to be a fly in the
ointment. Opinion among directors is
that 28 weeks of play should give
each club a chance to play eacn rival
four times, once on the home grounds
and three times on the road.
This year's schedule was a night
mare. To begin with, when it was
framed the moguls were faced with
many uncertainties. There was no
concrete evidence on which to base
attendance. So the lines of least
resistance were followed. Railroad
fares and not the feelings of the fans
were spared.
Next year should permit a more
liberal policy in this regard. If the
routing of the clubs does cost more
but permits a wider range of play
between 'clubs it should be worth the
additional expense.
Los Angeles and Oakland had too
many weeks at home last season. The
right kind of a schedule will mean
additional dollars to the Coast league
coffers. Whether the season would
run up to 28 weeks was left up to
the northern club at the fall meeting
of the magnates. Judge W. W. Mc
Credie is in favor of the 28-week
schedule and it is thought that Se
attle also is for that length of season.
That there will be holdouts for
more money is certain. But a lot of
ballplayers are going to be disap
pointed. A few of them will be lucky
to draw suits and there will be no
shipyards for thera to jump to next
season.
Rollie Zeider's acquisition by the
Oaks looks to be only another indi
cation that Del Howard is ready to
pass the reins of the management
over to another ma'n.
Zeider was not signed for the abil
ity he has been displaying these last
two seasons. Rollie has seen his best
days as a ballplayer. That he may
s'.ill retain enough speed to make him
valuable to a minor league Is not
doubted; but when Zeider went to To
ledo he was no longer worth being
retained by the big leaguers. "
Rollie was an idolized coast
leairuer when he was with San Fran
cisco. Ho left the Seals one of the
best developed third sackers that ever
climbed to the major leagues
Zeider was unfortunate in not living
tip to promise as a star, bad feet
keeping him out of the game when ho
might have been crowding the best
of them for speed.
"Who will win the pennant next
year is already causing some discus
sion Mmuiia me oaseuau lans. nu in
nearly every case the argument
points to Vernon to make a great try
at repeating next season.
The Tigers will go into next year's
fray with practically the same lineup
they had when they won the gonfalon
of 1919. Essick has one weak spot
at the torrid corner and that only.
He may have some difficulty in get
ting a good third baseman that
bodies up to the high class of the
other members of the infield.
Rorton at first. Fisher at second
and Mitchell at short are three names
to conjure with in far west baseball.
Borton is essentially a .300 hitter and
a cracking good infielder. Fisher is
a bear and Mitchell is really big
league caliber.
llughie High will be back at left
field, Chet Chadbourne at center,
with Apple Dumpling ISdington and
Tommy Long fighting it out for the
right garden job.
The Angels will need plenty of
bolstering and Killefer is out after
at least three new pitchers to start
with.
Latest bulletins from the office of
Secretary Farrell of the National
Association of Minor Leagues show
that no less than 19 players are on
the suspended list of the various
Coast league reserve roster- Sacra
mento is the only team in the circuit
not burdened with a flock of inelig
ible athletes.
Frank Walker, George L. Penning
ton, J. J. Dailey, Lee F. Dempsey and
Clarence Smith are the players that
McCredie has seen fit to discipline.
Pennington and Walker quit the club
cold, alleging innumerable com
plaints more or less of a petty
nature.
Jacinto del Calvo Is the lone pas
timer placed on the black list by the
Seal management. His suspension is
due to his failure to report.
Kddie Mensor is Oakland's recalci
trant performer. The diminutive in
fielder refused to sign the past sea
son, and disported himself in semi
pro company. It is doubtful if he
will be tendered a contract for ths
coming year.
Salt Lake has five players - under
the ban in Ralph Stroud. Miles Mains,
James Voix, K. Evans and A. Kir
meyer. Seattle has Gus Gleichman, Mike
Reagan, P. Ritchie and Harry Gard
ner on the suspended list.
O. McArthur is Vernon's entrant In
the "in-bad" club, while Los Angeles
nas barred Frank Uroebling and Lvio
Delhi.
inaourtediy before the 19:o cam
paign is ushered in many of these
suspensions will be removed.
OLYMPIC GAMES BOB UP
IRISHMAN'S GO WITH DARCY
OFF FOR PRESENT.
Frank Kendall May Use Sommers
to Fill Gap in Card for Mil-"
Waukie Show.
Boy McCormick, light-heavyweight
champion of England, will not meet
Jimmy Darcy of Portland in the main
event of the December 10 card of ;
the Milwaukie boxing commission.
It seems that he had come to ten- 1
tative terms with Matchmaker Frank
Kendall and that he was holding off
pending an offer to return to San
Francisco and fight next week. Mc
Cormick connected in the south, land
ing more money for a four-round
bout in San Francisco than he could
get from Kendall for ten rounds, so
he left last night with his manager
for the Bay city.
Kendall is now out for an opponent
for Earcy. Al Sommers has been
camming on Darcy's trail and Is eager
to land the match. Sommers and
Earcy, when the latter was fighting
under his real name. Valley Tram
bitas, put up some of the hardest bat
tles ever witnessed here. They have
fought anywhere from four to ten
rounds and if one remembers right
Sommers holds an edge on the milling.
Al says that he is in good shape and
ready to reel off ten rounds at a fast
clip. . . -
as it stands the eight-round mix
between Oeorgie Brandon and Neil
Zimmerman is the only bout that has
been clinched by Matchmaker Ken
dall. He is figuring on a clash be
tween Stanley Willis and Bobby Ward
or Pete Mitchie and Ward for eight
rounds.
Kddie Shannon, the stellar Cali
fornia lightweight, who has met
Benny Leonard and Johnny Kilbane,
and who was one of the American
boxers in the big tournament in Lon
don, is now in Seattle and is after
matches in Milwaukie and Portland.
Shannon has met all the best boys at
his weight in the south.
