Victory Over Knockout Brown Latest Ring Achievement. BEAVERS SIGN SOUTHPAW Mccormick has big job McC'redies Receive Contract From Cunningham, Young Seattle Port-Side Hurler. If Ernie Joohnson can dispose of RalDh Stround. the pitcher who Jumped the Salt Lake club last year, to Kansas City for Beals Becker, he will add a powerful punch to the Bees' outfit. Kansas City fans are all etirred up about It. They admit that the K. C. club needs pitchers, but say it is not necessary to trade half the club to cet one pitcher like Stround. Becker is wintering on this coast and there is no doubt but that he and Johnson have talked things over. John Ganzel, manager of the K. C. club, was willing to listen to reason, but John lost his job the other day and the new manager may not favor such a deal. Becker is a left-handed throwing and left-handed hitting out fielder and, although he never made & success as a major leaguer, it wa not heacuse he could not hit. He ha always been able to hit and he is pretty fair fly chaser. Stround is of no use to Salt Lake club and if John son can get a man like Becker him, he will be turning a liability into an asset. Ed Barrow, manager of the Boston Tted Sox. wants Bill Rumler of the Salt Lake club for next year. And to be sure of getting him. he is willing to send two players to the Salt Lak club this year and other players nex year if necessary. Rumler was with St. Louis in the National league before coming to Sal Lake, and, although he could hit, he was allowed to go. Bill was a catcher at that time, and his experience as an outfielder was so limited that St. Louis did not care to take-a chance on him. Bill is no Tris Speaker as a fielder yet. but he Improved greatly with steady work last year and this year he should be still better. He 1 corking right-handed hitter, one of the kind who drives in runs, and if he does go to Boston he may stick on bis second appearance in the majors. Clash With Skilled St. Paul Boy Means Hardest Test Irishman Has Yet Met in V. S. J. H. Cunningham, a young Seattle southpaw heaver, has sent in his signed contract to the Beavers for the season. Cunningham was recom mended by M. D. Wells, physical di rector of the Seattle V. M. C. A., who says the youngster is a bear. The addition of Cunningham makes the sixth left-hander on the Portland roster, all of whom have signed ex eepting "Lefty" Schrocder. WJiile looking over the reserve list Manager Graham of the Seals dis covered that Jack Calve, the Cuban outfielder, is stiil the property of the San Francisco club. The Cuban is now a lieutenant of police in Havana. He plays Sunday ball with the independent team and is hitting the pill on the pick- and throwing better than he ever threw. Adolfo Luque. a Cuban, has signed to pitch for the Reds next season. He did well last year and is an able athlete. It is said the Cincinnati club, to placate its big galaxy of holdouts, . has offered, in lieu of advanced sal aries, a slice of the gate of the spring training games. Al Bridwell, long an infielder in the National league, will manage the Rocky Mount team of the Virginia league, the coming season. Cincinnati has not as yet closed the deal for Outfielder Elmer Miller of St. Paul. Mike Kelley is said to want more players than August Herr mann is willing to give. Joe Jackson was the leading mem ber of the White Sox in batting In runs last year. He poled 97 comrades over the plate. Miller Huggins. manager of the Tankees. is opposed to legislation do ing away with freak deliveries. He favors letting 'em use emery papers, licorice, eating tobacco or whatever the flingers please. Umpire George Quigley of the Na tional league may quit baseball, ac cording to an announcement from St. Marys. Kan., his home. Last year he established a garage, which was run by Mrs. Quigley during his absence. The business has grown until he be lieves it demands his entire atten tion. Vmpire Bill Brennan. a Chicago product, will umpire in the Southern association the coming season. He ! will arbitrate the Clevelandt-New Orleans exhibition games. Detroit writers are clamoring that the Tigers need added pitching strength if they are to garner the American league gonfalon this year. Manager Kid Gleason of the. White Sox has advised against booking too many exhibition games on the spring training trip, because he thinks too much practice before the schedule begins has a tendency to make the players grow stale too soon after the opening. In a letter to Secretary Harry Grabiner he advises that the schedule of games down south, par ticularly for the first team, be kept down, and that the jumps from town tn town be made as easy as possible. Grabiner is heeding the advice of the vetertn manager, and is not over loading the. White Sox spring sched ule with dates. All the dates have rot been filled, although they could have been a long time ago had the Sox secretary seen fit to accept every one offered. i 'Pw" 5TBAiE mtttHtU)lC rJ0VR5MEWr A.N0 THC ' WtSfERM CMMATe - GviSYO THiHK.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 3. (Spe cial.) Every now and then one bounces into that peculiar type of a ballplayer who would much rather pastime out here on the coast than under the big tent. The latest gen tleman to make this assertion is none other than that noble southpaw and famed fisherman Lieutenant John Carolina Oldham. The red-head has just received a contract from President Frank Navin of Detroit, the Tigers having pur chased him from the Portland club. The parchment calls for a much bet-, ter salary than he was paid by the McCredics but "Red" declares it is less than he will play in the east for. "I would like to go back to the Beavers If the McCredies will give me what I'm worth," said the big fel low this morning. "Nav'in asks me to report at Macon, Ga., 'but I will not unless he raises the ante. 1 like the Pacific Coast league and would be happy if a deal is made whereby I could remain out here," he concluded.

Tommv Gibbons, the clever St. Paul boxer, furthered his claim to the light heavyweight championship of the world Monday night, back in Peoria, 111., bv handing George (Knockout) Brown a sound lacing in ten rounds of milling. Brown is the only man in the world that gave the late Les Darcv anv kind of a fight. Brown journeyed to Australia and fought Darcv two hurricane battles, one of them going 20 rounds to a draw. This was at the time when tne great Aus tralian middleweight was flattening the best men at his weight in the world. Brown is not perhaps the man that he was five years ago, but ne sin manaees to hold his own with the nresent croo of mittmen, and Gib bons' decisive victory means that Boy McCormick. lic-ht heavyweight cnam nion of England, who' will fight him for the world's title at the MUwaukie irrna next Wednesday night, wil have one grand little battle on his freckled hands. McCormick has delivered in every way in his three engagements in Mil waukie,' but will have a far different DroDosition to reckon with next Wednesday night than he did against Frank Farmer or Captain bod noper. Gibbons, the polished performer, fin ished in every -degree oi me game, bids fair to wrest a decision over the vmithful British champion. Only flic Cormick's wonderful stamina and ability to take punishment as well as deliver it gives him a chance to de feat th famous St. Paul boxer. Gib bons left Chicago yesterday for Port land and will arrive Saturday. Boy McCormick worked out nine rounds yesterday, taKing on- eevcri sparring partners. He will not go so strenuous this afternoon for fear of getting stale. Jimmv Marshall, the clever Call fornia lightweight, will arrive here today. Marshall has tentative bouts in Portland and Seattle. Matchmaker Jack Grant has promised Willie Bern stoin who i managing Marshall, to use the latter February 2i. The Jimmv Darcy-Al Sommers "fiirht" in San Francisco last Friday nieht was evidently as painful as pre dicted bv the writer. Following is an account of the battle by a Seal Rocl.s citv scribe: Jim Darcy and Al Sommers, i-ori- land middleweight, mauled and hauled and once in a while hit each otner Dreamland rink last night and at tne end of the four rounds Referee iODy Irwin gave the decision to Darcy. 'The 'fight' was one of those that will be forgotten in a day. in tne ontirA four rounds there were but three incidents that are worth writing about. "In the second round Darcy landed a left hook on the side of the chin that almost floored Sommers. "In the third round Sommers fouled Darcy, hit him squarely in the groin, and Darcy, though he winced in pain and appealed to the referee, kept on fighting. "Then in the fourth round Darcy slipped and fell in a crner, and when he had gotten up and whllo Sommers 'was waiting for him to straighten up he hauled off and struck Sommers a wicked punch on the chin. "This blow, a most unfair blow, dazed Sommers and turned the fight in Darcy's favor and gave him the decision." No one here ever thought Jimmy Darcy liked to hunt, but this little sauib from the south must mean something in his young life: "Jim uarcy is a uujj iui nunini, and fishing. Since Jim came down from Portland he has spent most of his time in Marin, county and he's purchased enough euns and fishing paraphernalia to stock a sporting goods store. "The other da he thought he saw a duck, and in order to get up close enough to shoot with some certainty of not missing he crawled up and shot from under what ne tnougnt was a deserted house. "The noise of the gun created sucn commotion in the house that Jim skinned his knees getting out in a hurry. He thought the house was falling down. He was lust starling to iook around after getting on his feet when out the door, with a oroom in ner hand, came the angriest woman Jim ever saw. Naturally, Jim took to nis nceis. loiter he learned that the woman was sitting pealing potatoes Just over the spot where he snot, ana tne none oi the gun scared her into a fit and almost caused her to jump out of her shoes. Jim has changed nis nuniing grounds." KHdie .Hogan. a Brooklyn Hi- pounder, and Jack Shaughnessey. a veteran featherweight, were Portland arrivals yesterday in search or new fields of conquest. Hogan is a likely looking oainrr and has fought a numncr oi goon boys. Shaughnessey also boasts of an excellent record and should be good for a start here in the neal future. The Salt Lake club has sold Pitcher Miles Main and Infielder Jimmy Viox to Akron of the International league, It is a question If either will report to Akron, however. With Bsbe Ruth for the outfleld. it Is the plan of Miller Huggins to try out Bobby Meusel on first base, his natural position, according to all the Coast league experts.

The Boston Braves have signed Taul Danielly, an Atlanta youngster who Played on the Atlantic fleet nine dur ing the war wth Rabbit aranville and is recommended by the Rabbit for a trial. The fame of Mike Finn as a sched ule maker spreads. He has been en gaged to frame the playing dates for tne expanded Virginia league. No schedule south of the Mason and Dixon line is considered complete un til Finn has put his O. K. on it. Pittsburg has added another catch er to its list. He is Fred Conker. who hails from Winona, Minn. He had a tryout with Minneapolis a year ago and when released finished the season with an independent team in the iron region of Minnesota.
