The bugs and buglets who make the
winter merry with curbstone baseball
played in conversation only will have
it that Bill Essick's Vernon Tigers
have a cinch on repeating their pen-pant-winning
performance of last
season.
As for the Beavers oh, well, you
know. They may and may not. look
pretty good In the spring:, perhaps
make a rush late in the summer, and
then crank under the strain and drop
to the same old second division ig
nominity when the real stretch comes
along.
In other words, the said bugs and
buglets realize that Bill Essick has
practically no problem of rebuilding-,
having almost the team he had last
season.
On the other hand, the Beavers will
have the same material to build with
again this year, but last season the
building material proved very shaky.
In spots the framework held, but in
others it collapsed, and it seems im
possible for one to believe that the
club can be put through a stage as
it stands on an even, competitive
basis with the flag-grabbing Tigers.
Other teams in the league are de
termined not to let Vernon repeat
this coming season, and are. gather
ing some mighty fast combinations
together, making it all the tougher
for a weak-cogged outfit to get along.
Thpro will not be any soft clubs to

Five Beaver regulars have signed
"P to date. They are Del Baker,
'Suds" Sutherland. Art Koehler, Wes
-Kingdon and "Biff" Schaller. Con
tracts are in the hands of all the
players and. are drifting in daily.
Walter MeCredie expects Tex Wister
ail and George Maisel to fall in line
next. "Lefty" Schroeder and Lou
Blue, last year regulars, are balking
on terms and several of the men
turned over by Detroit, including
Rudy Kallio. are in the holdout class.
It is not likely that Jack Farmer,
outfielder, or Carroll Jones, pitcher,
will be with Portland next season,
as both are slated to figure in loom
ing trades.

nd unsigned, follows: (

"Baffling Bill" Essick, baseball Na
poleon in command of Eddie Maier's
army of tossers, announced that the
St. Louts American League club will
not train south this spring. The baf
fling one is the recipient of a letter
from Phf? Bali, owner of the Brownies
conveying the sad news that plans
previously made with National league
and other clubs for exhibition games
going and returning from the south
land, where the St. Louis men will

tne coast trip oil.
The players who are figured to be
in the Sseals training camp at Stock

Pitchers Smith, Bromley. Sea ton
Lundberg, Steele, Jordan, Couch and

Catchers Baldwin, Agnew and An-

Utility player Zamboch.
Ernie Johnson pulled off a good
deal when he traded Pitcher Bale to
Tallas for Pitcher Madison, is the
belief of many baseball men here.
Madison is a good 'pitcher and it is
believed he will help Salt Lake more

there will not be more than two

league did excellent work last year
and, many, of the managers would be

Three young semi-professional play
ers have been signed by Eddie Herr,
scout for the Detroit Americans. Herr
does not claim the lads are world
beaters at present, but he believes
with a year's experience in a minor
circuit the lads will show consider
able improvement. Lester Jarvis, as
outfielder with the Utah Agricultural
college, was the first man signed by
Herr since Joining Frank Navin's
scouting force. Howard Smith, a left

are from Kingman. Ariz., also have
been lined up by Herr.

which Is slated for the Winged M
cage on Saturday night. Multnomah's
victory over- the Oregon Aggies

the second Friday, the Oregon players

Superior Condition Tells in Firs
Conference Battle.
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO. Moscow
Jan. 20. (Special.) The University
of Idaho basketball five succumbed
to the Washington State college team
tonight. 32 to 17.
The game was the opening confer
ence contest for the two rival insti
tutions and was bitterly fought
throughout, notwithstanding the long
lead the Cougars gained in the final
period. The first stanza was a draw,
with the Pullman men nosing out
with a two-point lead, .13 to 11.
The Cougars showed superior pass
ing, and their ability- to handle the
leather was a surprise for this stage
of the season. The Gem staters showed
a lack of stamina and condition which
became marked as the game neared
the final pistol. This factor was taken
advantage of by Bohler's well-conditioned
athletes, who began a spurt
shortly after the beginning of the
second half- which soon placed them
far in the lead.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 20. Jack
K-earns, manager of Jack Dempsey,

today announced he had sent the fol
lowing telegram to Jimmy Bronson,
manager of Bob Martin, heavyweight
champion of the A. E. F. In France:
"In justice to Jack Dempsey, world's
champion, I must demand that you
cease Immediately your propaganda
that you are now starting through
out .the country in your efforts to
boost Bob Martin and to promote a
fight between him and Carpentler by
sending out literature which Is false
and misleading, in which you are at
tempting to convey an Impression that
Jack Dempsey was a draft-dodger and
unfit to represent America in a titular
battle.
Letter Angers Kearn.
"I have in my possession now a
letter which you are sending broad
cast quoting unwarranted resolutions
to sh,ow Dempsey was a draft-dodger
and which you are using in an effort
o discredit Dempsey and using the
American Legion in an effort to boost
your fighter.
Your action is the most outrag
eous injustice ever attempted by a
manager and rival fighter. Real
sportsmen do not have to adopt those
methods, and if there are any more
moves like that on your part I will
be forced to take the proper legal
action. .
War Record Defended.
'Dempsey. followed the dictation of
his government and acted according
to the instructions of bis draft board.
and the chairman of said draft board,
John S. Hogan, states over his own
signature that Dempsey was more
valuable in the field in which he was
placed than if he were carrying a
gun. 1 must insist upon immediate
assurance from you that you will
stop at once the propaganda which
you have instituted as an Individual
member of the American Legion to
bring nation-wide condemnation upon
Jack Dempsey and to use the Ameri
can Legion merely and solely for -your
own personal profit and gain and to
capitalize for. your own selfish in
terest the American Legion."

D'Olier, national commander of the
egiou, today wrote Mr. Kearns that
it was not considered a function of
the American Legion to pass on the
exemption of men from military
service during the war.
The letter follows:
"The national headquarters of the
American Legion - contemplates . no
action . In reference to the subject
matter of your letters of January 14.
"It is not a function of the Ameri
can Legion to review acts of the
government during the war in con
nection with the classification of men
subject to selective service act. or
to review the claims of any individual
who finds it necessary to justify his
exemption from military service."

of the toughest customers at his
weight in California, will come here
especially to act as a sparring partner
for Boy McCormick, light heavy
weight champion of England, who
will box Captain Bob Roper of Chi
cago in the main event. McCormick
has been unable to line up any boxers

of a workout so asked the Milwaukie
commission to use Hayes on the card
against- s o m e good welterweight.
Hayes was to have left San Francisco
yesterday for Portland.
Bob Roper arrived in Portland yes
terday from Chicago accompanied by
his trainer, Charley Cutler. Roper is

weight bruiser. Roper will work out
at one of the local gymnasiums this
alternoon.
Lackey Morrow, the Tacoma 128
pounder, should give Neil Zimmerman
the hardest fight the latter has ex

It is said that James Coffroth favors
staging such a contest if O'Dowd
would consent.
Fred Fulton is scheduled to meet
Tom Cowler in a six-round go in
Philadelphia tonight, fowler is once
more in good standing as the result of
his knockout victory over Al Reich
in Jersey City recently. Fulton fought
Cowler In St. Louis over a year ago
and received the surprise of his life.
It seems that the bout was fixed
and Fulton was to go along and let
Cowler stay a few rounds and not
hurt him. Cowler double-crossed Ful
ton and tore after Mm in the first
round, putting him down twice for a
count. Fulton weathered the storm
and after regaining his bearings
stowed Cowler away before the fight
was over.

Sidelights and Satire.
A
FTER chasing the big boxing
bout all around the United States
they even want to dust it out in Mex
ico. The governor of California can't
bear tho thought of the fracas even
in his neighbor's yard.
The anti-boxing dictum is just a
little snack for Mexico. The United
States has a full course to offer in
anti-racing, anti-gambling and pro
hibition legislation.
And some people continue to harp
on the patriotism of bringing the big
bout to the United States. But the
American Legion is not impressed.
Jack Kearns sees the light. "Paris or
London," he says.
Folks are getting lots of publicity
at the expense of the two boxers.
Coffroth has boomed his race track
at Tia Juana. which will open in a
few weeks; Fox has called attention
to his moving pictures and Cochran
has turned the limelight on his the
atrical enterprises in London. So far
little money has changed hands. Who's
the next bidder?
Connie Mack has signed Scott Perry
and Cravath finds Casey Stengel in a
receptive mood. With two such cele
brated holdouts in line it seems like
mid-April.
Next to having a cigar named after
him, the greatest honor that can come
to a ball player is to have a boxer
assume his cognomen. 'This mark of
merit has been conferred on Ping
Bodie.
