MANY HOLES IN LINEUP
Three In fielders and One Gardener
About Extent of Fixtures for
' Mackmen of 192 0.
The announcement that Don Rader,
Beaver shortstop and utility infielder
last season, had been disposed of for
a cash consideration to the Beaumont
club of the Texas league by "Judge"
and Walter McCredie may be taken
only as a forerunner as to some
ehakeups ' that are coming In the
Beaver ranks before the start of next
season.
The McCredies are planning on
using the ax on others ere long, while
several will have to make good or
get out during the training season.
Boss Walter will have Blue, Kingdon
and Wisterzil ready for the infield
and that is all that is certain for next
season outside of the pitchers. The
outfield is decidedly a hazy affair.
"Judge" McCredie is of the opinion
that Walter will hang on to Dick Cox
and not trade him off as quoted by
one of the scribes. Cox led the Pa
cific Coast league outfielders in field
ing for the 1919 season and is not so
worse with the bludgeon. He is pop
ular with the fans and is practically
a fixture with the Beavers. The rest
of the outfielders are in doubt.
Two or three pitchers, an infielder,
a couple of outfielders and a utility
man and McCredie will be ready to
make an impressive drive for the
pennant. That court of last resort,
Detroit, will be depended on for at
least two and perhaps three players
and one or two of them may be
twirlers.
Several local bush stars will be
given the annual opportunity to make
good. Sylvester Johnson, a promising
right-hand pitcher, who worked in the
box for the United Artisans last sea
sop, has been signed and will be
toted along to the training camp. If
he shows coast league caliber he will
be retained on the staff. If he shows
that he might develop into a real
twirler he will be taken care of,
meaning that he will be farmed for
a little seasoning.
Walter McCredie is also sweet on
several other Portland youngsters as
well as some in California, who he
will endeavor to line up for a tryout
next spring.
If Denny Williams does not go to
college it is likely that he will jour
ney south with the team and his older
brother, Bicky Williams, is also
wanted. Denny takes care of one of
the garden positions, while Bicky is
the nioundman of the family. Mc
Credie also likes the work of "Speck"
Burko, former Jefferson high school
tar.
Manager Charley Graham of the
Seals has given no hint of the iden
tity of the men he expects to get
from Washington and Pittsburg for
his 1SI20 .Seals.
But he has started a lot of specula
tion in stove-league circles, where
the chief Joy to be derived from ex
istence is in the picking of next year's
teait..
Graham says one of the men he will
get is a pitcher, a right-hander, and
a man he knows will be a big success
in the league.
Wherefore there has been a close
perusal of the rosters of the Pitts
burg and Washington clubs to locate
the man.
And opinion is that the man Gra
ham has his hooks on is none other
than Olaf Erickson.
J he sun-kissed Swedish gent has
pitcned a few good games in major
league circles, but on the whole has
been a disappointment. He never got
going with Detroit and last mid-sea
son was traded to Washington.
It was hinted in Washington sev
eral weeks ago that he was slated for
the minors. He is the pitcher on the
clubs Graham is dealing with whose
work Graham is mo.st familiar with.
IM-lckson was easily the star of all
the Coast league's right-handers dur
ing me 1917 season. He had to be
driven to his work, but once he start
ed tie was a wizard with the baseball
Ana ne would certainly be a tremen-
aous asset to the Seals now that he
nas had a couple of years of big
league training.

Referee Stops Bout tn Third to
Save Sound Boxer From
Certain Knockout.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4. (Spe
cial.) Ole Anderson, the heavyweight
from the northwest, was so badly
beaten by Harry Wills, the colored
scrapper, that Referee Eddie Hanlon
stopped the fight in the third round
at the Coliseum tonight.
Anderson, after he had received
numerous stinging rights and lefts to
the face and body, was out standing
up. Anderson made a. game fight
but he proved no match for the
clever colored heavyweight.
Anderson hit Wills about once
that was in the first round. In the
second Wills tore loose with an as
sortment of right and left hooks to
the head. The third found Anderson
holding on for dear life. The last
punch, a smashing right to the head,
made Anderson groggy and he would
have been knocked out in another
second had not Referee Hanlon
stopped the fight and held up Wills'
hand as the victor.
Other results were as follows:
Kddie Mahoney vs. Johnny Webber,
draw.
Al Nelson vs. Sailor Renshaw, draw.
Smiley Bricker won from Felix
Villamor.
Dick Doolin vs. Wild Willie Webb,

SPORTSMEN KEEN
FOR ANNUAL MEET
Southern Oregon Will Have
Live Wires on Hand.
VENISON FEAST PLANNED
League Plans ot Extend Activities
to Include Clubs From All
Parts of State.
Arthur K. Downs, president of the
Oregon Sportsmen's league, who re
cently returned from a trip to south
ern Oregon in the interests of the an
nual meeting of the sportsmen of Ore
gon which will be held in Portland
December 8, reports that a strong
delegation from the southern part of
the state will be on hand for the
annual meeting. Downs says that
more pep and enthusiasm is being
shown by the sportsmen around Med
ford. Grants Pass, Ashland and Rose
burg than the local men have shown
to date.
C. M. Thomas of Medford, Wilfred
Allen of Grants Pass and W. R. Briggs
of Ashland are among the prominent
sportsmen of the southern part of the
state who personally promised their
presence at the meeting Monday.
A programme of casting and trap
shooting for the entertainment of the
visiting delegates and local sports
men will be given Sunday at the Port
land Gun club. Jack Herman and
Herbert Newland will be in charge of
events at the gun club. The pro
gramme at the Everding park on Sun
day will commence at 9:30 A. M. and
continue throughout the day. Fifty
shooters are expected to participate
in the trapshooting event in addition
to the anglers who will be on hand
for the casting events.
Jack Herman has been busily en
gaged for the last week trying to
line up a competent party to put on
a barbecue at the gun club and when
last heard from was on the trail of
two negro chefs he hoped to land for
the big task.
The business meeting of the dele
gates Monday will be followed by a
banquet in the evening. Two large
buck deer are now hanging in cold
storage for the banquet. Owing to
the large demand for tickets to the
banquet and the small supply of veni
son it is necessary to limit the number
of plates at the banquet to 300. All
members of the Sportsmen's league
and the sporting goods houses are
handling the tickets to the feast,
which will be held on the top floor of
the Oregon building.
Something choice In the way of en
tertainment at the banquet is in store
for those who attend, but the commit
tee refused to say just what It will be.
The business meeting of the dele
gates will be called to order at 10
A. M. Monday at the Imperial hotel.
The large volume of business which
will come before the meeting will
keep the delegates in session during
the entire day with a possible ad
journment to Tuesday.
The order of business will include
an election of officers and the ap
pointment of committees to serve dur
ing the coming year. Reports will be
read by the chairmen of the retiring
committees. The greater part of the
meeting will be taken up by the re
port of the legislative committee,
which is composed of H. B. Van Duzer,
R. W. Price. C. A. Biglow of Portland,
A. C. Masters of Roseburg and C. M.
Thomas of Medford.
The work of the Oregon Sports
men's league for the coming year will
be extended to include all the clubs
of Oregon. It is the purpose of the
organization to put a man in the field
to visit the various clubs in the state
and to bring them into closer connec
tion with the central organization.

Several Big: Tootball Clashes Are
Sure for Multnomah Field
in Fall of 1920.
On their way to the annual meeting
of the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate
conference to be held in Seattle today
and tomorrow, when all athletic
schedules for the coming year will be
arranged, six representatives of north
west institutions were In Portland
yesterday. Among those registering
at the Imperial hotel were J. Fred
Bohler and Dean Carpenter or Wash
ington State college, Pullman, Wash.;
James J. Richardson, general manager
of student activities, and H. W. Har
giss, head coach, Oregon Agricultural
college; Marion McClain, graduate
manager, and Bill Hayward, Univer
sity ot Oregon.
All of the athletic representatives
tentatively have mapped out their
fcotball, basketball, baseball and their
track dates for 1920. The coaches and
managers will be in conference today
and their schedules will be approved
at the conference meeting tomorrow.
Several big gridiron battles are
scheduled for Portland next fall. It
is said that Oregon Agricultural col
lege will stage the first 1920 confer
ence game in Portland when it clashes
with the University of California. ,The
Aggies may also play Washington
State college in Portland. Manager
Richardson stated yesterday that at
least two conference games must be
played on the Corvallis campus next
season. The University of Oregon will
play the Aergies at Corvallis, Novem
ber 13. This will be staged during
homecoming week. The Corvallis lads
will journey south to Palo Alto and
play Stanford during October.
The University of Oregon's big
same on the Eugene campus probably
will be with the University of Wash- j
ington. Oregon contemplates a trip j
south to California for a clash with
the Golden Bears. It is understood
that Manager McClain is figuring on
a game with Stanford in Eugene or
Portland.
- The University of Oregon plans on
holding the Pacific coast conference
track meet in Eugene in May. This
will be the big athletic event during
junior week end.
The Oregon Agricultural college
may decide to stage the far western
indctor track meet at Corvallis in
their spacious armory. . This event
was last held in the northwest in
1915, when it was put on at the Cor
vallis institution.
The Stanford and California repre
sentatives are expected to pass
through Portland today en route to
Seattle.
From a financial standpoint the
Oregon Agricultural college enjoyed
a great season, according to James
J. Richardson, general manager of
student activities at the Corvallis in
stitution. "A hurried recapitulation of re
ceipts and expenditures shows a bal
ance of over J6000 on the right side
of the ledger," said ttichardson yes
terday. "This is about the best finan
cial showing the Aggies have ever
registered. Of course it is to be ex
pected when one considers that we
have a wonderfully loyal Btudent-body.
which, despite the team's reverses,
rallied to their warriors' support to
a man. The spirit displayed on the
Corvallis campus has been nothing
short of marvelous."
'
Prospects are bright for some ex
cellent intercollegiate basketball
games being played in the northwest
this season and Portland probably
will see all of the conference quintets
in action at the Multnomah club
against the Winged-M quintet. George
A. Anderson, manager of the Mult
nomah five, was busy yesterday chat
ting with the conference delegates
on their way to Seattle and says he
is sure of booking each of the teams
as they pass through Portland. -
The University of Oregon and Ore
gon Agricultural college basketball
squads are said to be exceedingly
large although each institution claims
a scarcity of championship material.
Coach Huntington at Eugene Will

in harness and Hargiss expects about

Lawyer Charges Johnson Claims
Contract to Head American
League for 2 0 Years.
NEW YORK. Dec. 4. After hear
ing arguments on the application of
the New York American league club
for an order restraining President
Johnson from calling the annual
meeting of the board of directors and
members of the American league in
Chicago on December 10. Supreme
Court Justice Greenbaum reserved de
cision today. Ho also gave counsel
for both Mdes until tomorrow after
noon to file additinal affidavits and
submit briefs.
Marvin V. Wynn, attorney for Mr.
Johnson, read from an affidavit by
the American league executive which
stated he was not only president, but
also secretary and treasurer of the
league and as such had always been
in the habit of sending out the notices
for the annual meeting and that he
(Johnson) had been asked -by five
members of the league to call the
meeting for Chicago.
Charles II. Tuttle, a lawyer repre
senting the New York club, contended
that Johnson had exceeded his author
ity and had assumed powers .lot con
ferred on him under the constitution
and bylaws of the league. He as
serted that the right to call the meet
ing rested solely with the board ot
