Wes Kingdon and Schroeder
Enter Mack Family.
M'lNTYRE TO RUB SIWASH
Sound Figlit Promoter Will Carry
Bo.or as AtsiMant Speas Has
Ilcgina CJub Lined Up.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Two of the holdout ballplayers on
the Tort land club Shortstop Wes
Kingdon of Los Angeles and Clyde
Jlarvin -Lefty" Schroeder have de
serted the ranks of the bolsheviks
and their signed contracts now recline
in Judge McCredie's pigeonholes.
The judge felt so pleased with the
developments of the day that he took
an entire platoon of baseball writers
to an ice cream emporium and spent
II. RO on Lovers' Delights.
If Mack can get his outfield signed
he will be in fair shape to start the
season, for the wise ones say that
with his present pitching staff Mack
will not need more than one
fielder. What he will require will
be a relay of outfielders with good
arms and marathon lungs.
Be that as it may, Kingdon is the
only one of the infielder quartet that
has sent in a signed contract. He
has been playing winter ball in Los
Angeles. - .
Schroeder originally was offered
contract calling for a bonus in the
event of his winning a certain num
ber of games. But the judge relented
yesterday and gave him what he
wanted and so there is joy In the
heart of this former Portland semi
professional portsider. Fielder Jones
is credited with the statement that
Schroeder has the makings of a major
league pitcher.
When he came back from France
last year Will Stepp signed him for
Portland and he pitched good ball
until hie arm went bad. His salary
flipper is in good condition now and
be thinks he will have a good year.
Seattle baseball players will not
get fresh with their trainer this year.
Said trainer will be Chet Mclntyre,
the old-time boxer and promoter. Os
car Koch, the big Seattle boxer, will
accompany Mclntyre to the Seattle
training camp at Han ford, Cal., and
will keep in shape by doing most of
Chet's manual labor, such as mas
saging arms and limbs.
Billy Speas' Regina club of the
Western Canada league, which will
train in or near Portland, is almost
ready for the season to open. Speas
appears to have an aggregation of
good tossers on his roll and he eays
his club is faster than any Northwest
league club of olden days. Here it is:
Catchers Bert Whalen. Fuhrman.
Pitchers Pillett, Harstad, Zweifel,
Rube Evans, Ialey and Oolyan.
First base Kelleher.
Second base Art Ritter.
Shortstop Runser.
Third base John Doe.
Outfield Nolt. Strand and Speas.
several of the Keginians are ex
major leaguers Whalen, Strand, Bar
stad, Evans and Speas.
It is probable that Pitcher Daley of
the Kegma club will be sold to the
Seattle club within the near future.
A prospective deal is in the well
known ozane.
Manager Wares of Seattle had
visions of getting Shortstop McAuley
of the St. Louis Cards before the
Cards traded him to Los Angeles. Mc
Auley is playing ball in California
this winter. Wares called him on
long distance telephone and said he
might be able to get him, in which
event he would offer him a contract
for J2T.O0. "My terms are J4000," re
plied McAuley, haughtily. "I wouldn't
sign for J3999.D9." Bang went the re
ceiver.
All of which presages trouble for
the Angels when they begin bartering
with their new prima donna.
Cal Kwing of the Oaks says that
the minors won a great victory when
they put over the new arbitration
board scheme on the majors. Cal was
one of the minor league committee
men at the recent peace confab.
The San Francisco club has signed
most of Its players. Carl Zamloch and
Casey Smith are among the last to
send in contracts with the handwrit
ing at the bottom. The only unsigned
Seals are Tom Seaton, Catcher Bald
win. PhU Koerncr and Willie Kamm.
Manager Killefer of the Angels is
Back in Los Angeles with the an
nouncement that Catcher Hartley will
never be an Angel except on paper.
He will be traded to some other club,
frown and Pertica are to be retained
for another year. Killefer is im
mensely pleased at securing Shortstop
McAuley, who hit .278 last year with
Kansas City.
While in the east he closed a deal
for five other players to come from
the majors after they have begun
clearing the decks at the spring train
ing camps.
Killefer returned from the east with
a fringe of white all around his red
hair, where it had been frost-bitten
Killefer says be will
leave the thermal belt.

FONTANA COMES TO TOWN
Champion Army Feather of South
Can't Afford to Lose Bout
With Wcldon Wing.
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
fcUdie Marino, former boxing in
structor at Mare Island. CaL, and
well known in northwest fistic cir
cles, who is managing Harry Schu
man, is of the opinion that his pro
tege is a coming lightweight cham
pion and that another year of work
will put him right for a chance at
enny Leonard.
.before joining the United States
marines several years ago Schuman
was noxing around Salt Lake City
and made quite a local name for
himself. He tipped the beam at 125
pounds and beat everything that
Harding Downing, the Mormon city
promoter, imported for him. Just be
fore joining the marines Schuman
had been planning to broaden his
sphere of activities and strike out for
the northwest, with Portland as his
first stop. Instead he joined the col
ors and landed at Mare Island, where
Marino's eye fell upon him.
Under the latter's guidance Schu
man won a number of bouts in the
south and capped the climax by win
ning the lightweight and welter
weight titles in the big service cham
pionship tournament in San Francisco,
which ran several days. All of the
participants in the meet were well
known boxers who were in some
branch of the service.
While still a marine Schuman
fought in Portland at the benefit
show here staged by Bobby Evans,
and recorded a hit. He was later
matched with Lee Morrissey and, al
though he battered the latter from
pillar to post for six rounds, the de
cision was rendered against him. It
needless to say that the referee
in that instance has not officiated in
local ring since.
Upon receiving his honorable dis
charge Schuman returned to his home
in Salt Lake City and took part in
several matches, winning them via
the knockout route. The money was
not coming in fast enough, so he
joined Marino again in Tacoma, and
has been beating the best of them
ever since.
It has been nearly a year since his
discharge from the marines and dur
ing that time he has taken part in
more than 20 contests and has had
only one or two decisions given
against him. Eddie Shannon received
the call over Harry recently, but the
referee was nearly mobbed and every
press dispatch gave the bout to Schu
man, not even concedinr Shannon a
draw.
Schuman and Jimmy Marshall of
San Francisco, who will clash in one
of the two ten-round main events
at the Milwaukie arena next Tuesday
nigh are both working diligently for
the coming fracas. Marshall is work
ing out in Milwaukie with Joe Ben
jamin while Schuman is training at
Ad Garlock's gymnasium with Marty
Foley and Tommy Barone.
Johnny Fontana, featherweight
champion of the southern division of
the United States army, put in his
appearance last night from Texas and
is "rarin" to go." Fontana will figure
prominently in a big recruiting drive
here and it would never do for him to
take a lacing from W eldon Wing,
when they tangle in their six-round
setto Tuesday night. Fontana has a
trunk full of clippings that he will
unpack today to show just how many
battlers he has upset during his
career.
Marty Cutler, the Chicago heavy
weight, who came out to the coast
as Captain Bob Roper's trainer, will
at last get a chance to uhow his
wares, having been matched to fight
Frank Farmer six rounds in Tacoma
March 2. Cutler has been training
for the past two weeks and should be
in good shape for the Tacoma logger.
...
Leo Houck, the Seattle lightweight,
passed through' here on his way to
San Francisco in quest of matches.
.
Walter McDevitt, the San Francisco
welterweight, who was knocked out
in a couple of rounds here last year
by Alex Trambitas, is now boxing
around Kansas City. He is scheduled
to meet Harvey Thorpe next Monday
night
t
Danny Frush Is now located in Bos
ton and is out challenging the eastern
featherweights. Frush is about the
cleaverest man at his weight that has
ever fought here, but he failed to
make a hit with the fans. His last
bout, which was against Bert Forbes,
left a very unsavory taste in the
mouths of the paid customers and
Danny departed.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Joe Stecher,
world's heavyweight catch-as-catch-
can wrestling champion, threw Jlra
Londos, Greek champion, here tonight
with a wristlock hold after wrestling
2 hours, 15 minutes and 35 seconds.
The Greek's shoulderswere pinned
to the mat after he was downed with
body hold. Stecher obtained the
wristlock after four minutes' effort.
Londos, who was several inches
shorter and about 12 pounds lighter
than his opponent, put up an excel
lent defensive battle, but was lacking
when he had a opportunity for at
tack. He frequently tried for a leg
hold, but the American stepped out
of each with little difficulty. On
numerous occasions when Stecher
was underneath he squirmed out
easily. During the first hours he
tried ineffectually for head locks.
Salvador Chevalier, the recently ar
rived French wrestler, threw Jack
Dawson of Kansas City with a half
Nelson and arm lock in 3 minutes

covites' Record Excellent
Two of the hardest games on the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic club
team's schedule will be played this
week end. The "Willamette university
five will furnish the competition for
the winged-M tossers on the club
floor tonight, while the clubmen will
entertain the University of Idaho
hoopers here Monday night.
Both of the university teams have
been making a good showing in the
northwest conference and the winged
M team will have to travel fast to
keep its slate clean. Coach Mathews1
Willamette university team has been
taking things easy the past week and
will be in the best of condition for
the game tonight. Although this is
the first year that the Bearcats have
been in the conference, they have
made a very creditable showing and
have victories over the Oregon Aggies
and Washington State college to their
credit.
After the last practice held Thurs
day by the clubmen, Manager Harry
Fischer decided to start the follow
ing line-up against the Bearcats to
night: Bob Morton and Gus Clerin,
forwards; Ira Mix, center, and Ray
Toomey and Clarence Twining, guards.
X. Clerin and Duniway will also be
used in the line-up before the game
is over.
Monday night's contest with the
University of Idaho hoopers will be a
real test for the winged-M quint. The
Gem-staters lost only two games in
the northwest conference last year
and have practically the same combi
nation back again this season they
had last year.
Both games will start promptly at
8 o'clock, and tonight's contest will
be followed by the usual Saturday
night dance.

ENGLISH BOXING PROMOTERS
WISE AS YANKEE TRADERS
Admission Fees to Bouts Are Taboo, So Silver Cups Are Given Pugilists
and in the Cups Jingle Well, They Aren't Nails!
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
ENGLISH boxing impressarios
are as wise as any Yankee
trader. Under the regulations
governing the conduct of Royal Al
bert hall in London no admission fee
can be taken in at the gate, so, when
G. Redmond Berry took a year's lease
he was confronted by the difficulty
of paying his boxers, as that was
forbidden. The promoter finally over
came the obstacle by offering silver
cups to the winners. What the box
ers found in the cups has not been
divulged, but it's a safe bet it jingled
and that it was not washers or shin
gle nails.
Beyond question Royal Albert hall
is the most magnificent structure in
which a boxing contest ever was held.
It was designed by the husband of
Queen Victoria and cost a cool
$1,000,000. It is circular In form, with
hardwood interior galleries. The
massive dome of ornamented crystals
reflects the glitter of myriads of elec
tric lights. The huge organ has more
pipes than Dedman's.
Aim jr Team Victorious.
Previous to the war no boxer had
appeared in a bout in Albert hall, but
the war paved the way to the inter
national service bouts which were
held in December of 1918. It was
the writer's privilege to choose the
boxing team that represented the
United States army in that big meet
and the army team won a majority
of the championships.

Sunday the North Pacific five will

Monday night the Maroon P five
will play a return game with the
South Parkway second team on the
Franklin high school floor. Jack
Routledge. manager of the Maroon F
quintet, states that the game with
South Parkway will probably be the
last this season for his team. The
Maroon F boys started out at the first
of the season with a rush, but after
winning several games, the team was
disorganized by the sickness or sev.
eral of the players. Routledge hai

feet again and has decided to end me

JUNE TENNIS GAMES OFF

Engagement of Ranking Xct Play

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Intersection
al tennis matches between Pacific and
Atlantic coast teams at San Fran
cisco late in June, as suggested by
California enthusiasts, appear un
likely unless there is a radical change
in the plans of the National Tennis
association.
According to tentative arrange
ments made by the United States
Lawn Tennis association officials it
is proposed to enter a team of United
States players in the English cham
pionships at Wimbledon. June 20 to 30
and later play in the Olympic games
tournament if the date is fixed for
early in July.
Such a team would include the lead
ing available players of the first ten
id ranking, about equally divided be
tween eastern and western repre
sentatives. If such a combination
was formed and sent abroad intersex
tional series would be confined gen
erally to players of the second ten.
It is believed that under such con
ditions both sections would prefer to
hold the coast versus coast contests
at a later date when the ranking
Btare would be able to compete.

It would pay the warring American

of the Vernon. Tigers to their annual
meetings. When the Pacific rmsi
league owners held their last confab
in the St. Francis hotel. In San Fran

Portland and Seattle walked out of
the room with threats of organizing
an outlaw league. The other "mags"
were trying to force a wet schedule
on mem in a dry year.
Bill Playa "Perfect Day."
Finally the judge and his Seattle
colleague were persuaded to attend
another session. Bill Essick strolled
over to tne piano as they entered the
room and in a moment the strains of
'The End of a Perfect Day" shook up
ine icnae aimospnere.
There was a laugh all around and a
satisfactory adjustment of the diffi
culty followed.
The motto of the Seattle baseball
club seems to be: "If at first you
don t succeed, buy, buy again.
...
Red Oldham says that Detroit has
offered him a minor league salary
and he would rather play for Port
land. Judge McCredie says Cunning
ham, Blue, Maisel and others want
major league salaries. It is too deep
for us. The salary matter seems all
out of gear and should be referred to
the president.
The highest salaried man in base
ball in the '60s. when Nick Williami
and Walter McCredie first began
smacking the horsehide, was $50 per
month. As late as 1879 the salariea
were smalL George Wright, the high
est salaried player on the Cincinnati
Reds, received S100 per month.
Sullivan Pocketed His.
When ball clubs used to go on tripf
the players took "Sullivan sleepers''
instead of Pullmans. On each trip the
manager gave the players $2 apiec.
for a sleeping berth. Tom Sullivan,
a catcher for St. Louis, always pock
eted his 82 and sat in a day coach
seat all night and, after a time, all
the players followed suit.
Thus the expression "Sullivan
sleepers."
Nowadays the player gets free room
and board for a month before the
opening of the season and his food
and lodgings while the club is on the
road during the season. And he parks
at good hotels and kicks like a camel
in a drouth if he doesn t get a lower
berth. The logic of the ball player's
argument is specious when he use:
the high cost of sirloins as an excuse
for praying more money out of the
magnates or at least It Is one-bali
specious.

Contract With Stanford Calls for
50-50 Football Division.
After protesting vainly against the
new 50-60 split rule adopted by the
Northwest college conference for
football receipts the University of
Washington finally has swung around
to it. Contracts were signed last
week for a game with Stanford unl
versity Saturday, November 6, under
an agreement to spilt the receipts
50-50. Washington has been bucking
on a contract with the Oregon Agri
cultural college, demanding that if
the Aggies play in Seattle under
those terms the second game will
have to be played in Portland.
Washington's schedule now Includes
games with Idaho. Whitman, Oregon,
Stanford and a Turkey day game at
Seattle with Dartmouth. Washington
plays only two coast conference games,
so it is likely Manager Melsnest will
get together with Manager Richard
son of the Oregon Aggies and agree
to a contract mutually beneficial.
