12 THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1920 VERIVOAI CHAMPIONS MEET CUBS FIRST Beavers Stand Little Chance at Chewing Gum Trophy. M'CREDIE SEEKS REVENGE "EGO" IS NEW NICKNAME ATTACHED TO BABE RUTH Frazee's Explanation for Selling Slugger to Tanks Is That Ruth Is Not Influence for Teamwork Golf Expert to Inspect Courses. A CO tb tie Walter Sow Sleuthing to Find Out Who Poured Bird Shot Into One of His Milch Cows. Vernon's champion Tigers of the Pacific Coast league will get the first chance at the Chicago Cubs and the William Wrigley Jr. trophy cup. The chewing gum king has offered the trophy to the Coast league club mak lng the best showing against his prixe winners. According to the schedule of games announced in Chicago. Vernon plays the Cubs at Los Angeles March 12, 13 and 14. Vernon is to begin training Monday and as many of its ball play era are already in southern Califor- nia Essick's athletes should look good against the big leaguers. Bravera Start Training March 10. So far as Portland Is concerned the Beavers do not report at Ontario, CaL, for training until March 10 and are scheduled to play the Cubs March 16 Consequently it looks as if Portland's chances of winning the "beautiful trophy whatever It may be are about as bright as January 16. And there is some chance that the Beavers may be even later starting training than planned. Somebody poured a round of blrdshot into one of Walter McCredie's milking cows and Walter is so peeved about it that he says he is going to trail down the culprits and get revenge. He may not be able to surround his prey before the seventh and so might be delayed in arriving at Ontario in time for raising the spring training pennant. In the meantime none of the family will drink milk for fear of lead pois oning. Training Schedule Announced. The Chicago Cubs will reach their training camp at Pasadena March 2. Ten days later they play the Tigers in the opening games of the train ing schedule which reads as follows Saturday, BY ROSCOB FAWCETT. CCORDING to a tennis writer in the New Tork "Trib," the great- ess and popularity of the ten nis star are gauged by the appella tions accorded him. Maurice McLough lin used to be called the "Califor nia Comet," Bill Larned was referred to as the "Nestor" of the American courts. K. Lindley Murray held ths title or 'Meteor, and now Patterson the Australian star, has been dubbed the "Southerly Buster." Plastering pet handles on to ath letes perhaps is new on the tennis courts, but for years it has been the tasnion in other popular sports, such as case-ball, boxing and burglary. JacJc Johnson always was referred to as HI Artha and Sam Langford as "the Tar Baby." And then there was -jyp the Blood." Like the fish that Barnum talked about, one new monicker is born every minute. Babe Ruth, the world's greatest baseball slugger, got one wished onto mm tne other day that probably will stick with him until strange men pat him In the face with spades. Ruth's new title was born when Harry Fra lee of Boston gave Ruth's ' "ego" as the cause for selling the famous star to the .New York Yanks. From all -I have heard of Ruth, fc-go will fit him much better than Babe." , Somehow it has . always seemed the heighth of something to label the big husky athlete "Babe." Portland used to sport a baseball pitcher named "Tiny" Leonard who probably was called "Tiny" because he weighed 230 pounds. , "Ego" Ruth aught to catch on well. both with the public and the news paper headliners, for it is shorter and more wieldy. And Ruth probably will not know what it means, so there will be no objections from that angle. Ruth is not the first big league star who has fallen under the card index label indicated by Frazee's remark: 'Not an influence for good or for teamwork." Detroit writers assert that Ty Cobb, with all his greatness, has been -a handicap to Manager Jen nings in the matter of team play and discipline. There are some stars like Walter Johnson who do not let suc cess go to their craniums. but they are almost as scarce as Red Label Johnny Walker. then didn't go. McCormick says he accepted no money and was not obliged to go and the, Australians are simply peeved because he did not make the trip. Frank Farmer also is sorry Boy didn't continue on his way instead of stopping in Portland and ban t rancisco. W. Herbert Fowler, the distin guished English golf architect, is vis iting in San Francisco his first trip to California since J878. Fowler is 64 years old. For many years he was one of England's best golfers, playing for three years on the Eng lish team that was sent against Scot land. Fowler may take a swing through the northwest and inspect the courses in Portland, Seattle, Vic toria and Vancouver. Golf architectural work is fairly remunerative. Experts like Fowler sometimes get as high as $10,000 for laying out one golf course. Recently an eastern golf architect was brought to San Francisco to make recom mendations -for improving the links of the San Francisco Golf and Coun try club. While in San Francisco the Presidio Golf club offered him S00 to take a walk over the Presidio course and make a few cursory recommendations. Aforesaid architect accepted the of fer for the following Sunday morning, but when Sunday came along he tele phoned that he would rather finish his morning slumber. Perhaps Fow ler Isn't such a sleepyhead. HEILIG BOXING CARD NOT YET FILLED OUT Pete Mitchie Now in Hospital With Influenza.

Battling Ortega of Los Angeles won a decision here tonight over George (K. O.) Brown of Chicago. Ortega carried the fighting to Brown in almost every round. Browns ability to take pun ishment saved him several times from a knockout. Both are middleweights. BEATS 0. A. C. Ritchie Mitchell's victory over the Australian lightweight boxer. Lew Edwards, calls attention to the Mitchell brothers Ritchie and Pinkey. Both of them are topnotchers. Pinkey recently had a shade on Joe Welling in Minneapolis. Ritchie has been say ing for more than a year that his young brother was better than he, but the public looked upon it as a brotherly boost without much foun dation. Both are clean boys and a credit to the boxing game. - A baseball bug writes in to inquire as to the difference between class B and class A baseball.

So far as the Beavers are concerned they probably will have an easy time be cause few of the Portland club will he ready for a real game by that time.

The six-day race to be staged at Madison Square Garden during the week of March 7 will be the richest in prize money ever put up in this country or Eu rope. Promoters Hanson snd Chap- ir.an realized that in order to stage a March race they would have to out bid the foreign tracks for the serv ice of the star riders and in some Instances purchase contracts out right, as In the case of Goullet. who had been signed to race on the French tracks for the summer. It was then necessary to make the prizs money attractive to the riders so as to bring them back to- Amer ica and the promoters decided to make the amount $50,000. The result was that all the stars that were in the December race have been signed. and the next few boats landing here from France will bring all the men entered in the March grind. If Lew Blue isn't careful the Mc- Credies may sell him to the Philadel phia Athletics. Mike Yokel regained his wrestling title by defeating Ketonen with a bar arm hold. Now that there is no other use for the bar arm Yokel ought to hold the Grecian vase trophy for a long time. "Boy" McCormick is threatened with a lawsuit because Australian promot ers allege that he accepted transpor tation money to go to Australia and An organization that ought to prove fully as useful as the buttons on the sleeves of an overcoat has been formed at Seattle. It is Boxers' union, local No. 1. Perhaps the boys figure on starting a dormitory so they can sleep together. Lou Wagner relates the following conversation with, an Irishman. Said the Mick: "The rats at our place are terrible. They're running all over the place and they eat up everything. Wagner: "Why don't, you give them ' rat biscuit?" Irishman: "Rat biscuit, nothing. They'll eat what I have or they can go to hell." den. The birds were all from the Eugene game farm. According to Mr. Shoemaker there will be over 3000 birds liberated from the Corvallis and Eugene farms this season. They are all to be turned loose in the spring. instead of the fall, as has been done previously, as it is the plan of the commission to give the bird, a chance to mature before the fall shooting starts. Moving pictures of the event were taken and will ba displayed over the state. FRENCH AIRMEN CHALLEN GED American Club Sends Invitation for September Race NEW TORK. Feb. 27.

SHARP. Either Harry Schuman or Harold Jones will meet "Puggy Morton" of Los Angeles in the 10-round semi winduD of the Portland boxing com mission's card at the Heifig theater next Wednesday night, with Joe Ben jamin and Freddie Anderson tangling 10 rounds in the main event. Pete Mitchie was originally sched uled to meet Morton, but is in the hospital with an attack of influenza. A 10-round bout between Morton and either Schuman or Jones should be every bit as good as the one first billed. The fans are hoping that Ja.ck Grant will be able to line up Schu man for the match, as they are anxious to get a real line on the highly touted Salt Lake mixer. Jones would also be a good opponent for Morton. Kid Carson, the Brooklyn. N. Y., welterweight, who is down to box 10 rounds against Frea Gilbert, will be able to go through with his match. It was thought yesterday that Carson had the influenza, but it turned out to be only a cold. He has started training again and unless he suffers a relapse will be in good shape for the Bend Bearcat. Some changes are yet to be made- in the six and four-round bouts, which fill out the card. Irving Gleason was down to meet Jimmy Duffy in the six- round bout, but it now develops that he will be unable to go through, and Bud Stevens has begged off in his match with Ted Hoke. Opponents will be obtained for both of these boys. Mike O'Dowd. middleweight cham pion of the world, will meet Jack Mc Carron in a six-round tilt in Phila delphia, March 1. m m The "flu" epidemic is handing the fight game a wallop in the small fistic centers throughout the state. Both the Tillamook and Astoria commissions have been planning on cards but are being forced to hold off signing any boxers until the present epidemic shows signs of abatement. ' John C. Kendall, prominent Marsh- field lawyer and chairman of the mu nicipal boxing commission of that city, has been a Portland visitor the past few days attending to his law practice. Kendall found time to lourney out to the fights at Milwaukie the other night. He was also anxious to sign Freddie Anderson to box Jack Wag ner in Marshfield the latter part of next month, but was forced to return home without accomplishing this.

Righter, forward, is one of the cleverest players that has per formed on the local floor this season, and his ability in getting hold of the ball and passing was largely respon sible for Mills being able to carry off the high-point honors.

Thei was no letup in the fast play and snappy passing of tne two teams throughout the entire game. It was superior passing and guard ing on the part of the Railsplitters that spelled defeat for the Washing ton five. The basket shooting of both teams was about on a par and the Lincoln team would have run up a large score If the cardinal players had had a lit tle luck when it came to dropping the ball through the hoop. Several of the shots attempted by the Lincoln team were the heart-breaking kind that roll the rim of the hoop and then fall to drop on the right side. Teddy Steften Thrill Leader. While the playing of the entire Lincoln team was on the whole up to standard, it remained for Teddy Stef fen of the Railsplitter crew to pro vide the thrills of the game with his sensational playing. Steffen put up a great defensive game against the Colonial combination and in the sec ond period when the score was too close to be comfortable for the Lin coln five he marked up four points for his team on two sensational shots from back of the foul circle. Washington took the jump after the first few minutes of play in the first period on two field baskets by Cap tain Edlund, but the Colonials' leao was held for only a short time for Bill Beck and Leggit, the Lincoln for wards, got away for three baskets apiece and aided by baskets from the floor by Wright and Cole and two converted fouls by Wright, the Rail splitters were able to leave the floor at the end of the second period on the long end of an 18-to-6 score. Washington Strong In Second, In the second session the Washing ton tossers held their opponents to one field basket in the first ten min utes of play, while the Colonials cut down the lead making the score 20 to 17. The two sensational baskets by Steffen and field baskets by Leg git, Wright and Cole again ran tne Railsplitters' score up and clinched the game for them. Harry Lady, who replaced Ragen ovitch for Washington in the second period, netted three field baskets and played a great all-around game. Ir vine and Edlund showed up well for the losers, while Haynes put up a good defensive game.
