Walter Sow Sleuthing to Find Out

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

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

Ritchie Mitchell's victory over 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

young brother was better than he,
but the public looked upon it as a
brotherly boost without much foun

NEW YORK. Feb. 27. The six-day

Instances purchase contracts out

had been signed to race on the
French tracks for the summer.
It was then necessary to make the

was that all the stars that were in
the December race have been signed.

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.

The Stanford basketball team took
the first of a two-game series from
the Oregon Aggies here tonight by a
score of 41 to 27. The first half was
close and ended 19 to 15 In favor of
the visitors. The lead in the first half
alternated between the two teams un
til the last five minutes of play, when
the Stanford five drew away from its
opponents and erMed the first session
with a four-point lead.
Stanford took the Jump atThe start
of the second period and rolled up its
score to 38 points before the Beavers
came to life. ,
Mills, Stanford's center, was high
point man with a grand total of
points. 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.
Stlnson was the bust scorer of the
Beaver five, getting 15 points in all.
On free throws Stinson converted 9
out of 11, while the Stanford team
made 7 out of 14 count.
The second game between the two
teams will be played tomorrow night.

In the hardest-fought game that
has been played in the interscholastie
hoop circuit this season the Lincoln
high school quintet won from the
Washington high tossers on the
Young Men's Christian association
court yesterday afternoon by a score
of 2 to IS. 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.
Leggit, who played his best game
of the season yesteraay, was nign

was simply staggering around in the
fourth, hardly able to hold his hands
up. Tet he didn't even think of
clinching, even to stall it out, and
swung just as desperately as though
he had a chance.
The first round was fairly even.

Angeles man started in the second
and was faster and raster until Cof
fey was staggering around at the
wind-up. Coffey landed to the body.

Johnny McCarthy, by a fourth-
round rally, won from Harlem Eddie

Pelsinger obtained the decision
over Bud Ridley, but it should have
