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.

Contract Sent by Detroit Tigers
Unsatisfactory to Iron Man of
1919 Beaver Staff.
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.
Mr. and Mrs. Oldham are spending
the winter as house guests of Mr. and
at the Everding park traps, and many
of them are members of the local
club.
The shoot at Woodburn will start
at 10:30 A. M. and will be both yard
age handicap and added bird handi
cap, the added birds to be shot at.
Country cured hams will be put up as
prizes.

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

land and will arrive Saturday.
Boy McCormick worked out nine
rounds yesterday, taKing on- eevcri

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.
