WALTER IS PLAYING
ACES UP HIS A!
Beavers to Blossom With
Rare Playing Orchids.
MAJOR TALENT COMING
McCredie Waxes Confident and
Tells of Plans for Portland Glory
During 192 0 Season.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
ASHLAND, Or., March f . (Special.)
En route to spring: training camp
. Walter McCredie opened up today and
divulged a few confidences concern
ing his 1920 coast league ball team.
. The big Scotch sphinx should have
been a poker player. He admitted
across the Pullman plush that he has
been sitting tight for several weeks
' with one or two aces up his sleeve
' that will change the Beavers from
. their present rather mediocre appear
ance to a regular ripsnorting aggre
cation. But let Mack talk:
"I have two or three players com
lng from the majors who will make
: my ball club. One of them is
pitcher who will be a star in this
j league. I don't expect the reinforce
, merits until 10 days before the season
' opens, but they will be in fine conai
: tion and will be ready to go. One of
the new men is a second baseman
"When my new pitcher arrives the
. Portland team will be as high-proof
in the pitching department as any
' dub in the league."
Walter Lamps Hills.
Gazing out of the car window at the
classic grandeur of the Siskiyous.
Manager McCredie declared that his
only worry and problem at this time
1 centers about one outfield berth.
Firmer has been turned over to De
troit to sell and the same procedure
will be followed in the case of
Walker, who does not want to come
west. This leaves only Maisel and
Schalier as outfield regulars, with Cox
in the utility role.
Failing in his efforts to land Tag
gart of the Columbus club and Pick
up of Pittsfield, who hit .2S5 in the
eastern league last year, McCredie
now is dickering with Hartford of
the Eastern league for th purchase
of Outfielder Potteiger. Dan Howley,
old-time Portland catcher, is manag
ing Hartford, and as Howley feel
that he will not be able to meet Pat
teiger's salary demand, he has offered
to sell him to Portland for a bundle
of cash, with Pitcher Pennington of
the Beavers' holdout corps thrown
in for full measure.
If Players W ill Agree.
Both managers have agreed to the
barter, and all that remains to pu
the deal across is the acquiescence of
the two prima donnas involved.
Potteiger hit .34S for Worcester
last season, so looks like a valuable
prospect. His complete record fol
lows:
Potteiger Games, 72; at bat, 261
runs, 52; hits, 91; total bases, 136
sacrifice hits, S; stolen bases, 10
average, .349.
Mack refused to name the big
leaguers he has in the hole, but, an
swering a query about Southpaw Old
ham, shook his head negatively and
Kaid: "No, 1 don't expect Oldham
back. He is a major league pitcher
and no doubt will -come to terms with
Frank Navin."
There are 13 in the Portland ball
contingent aboard today's train
speeding southward seven players,
manager, trainer and four baseball
correspondents. The party will spend
Tuesday in Sacramento, boarding the
Owl early in the evening for Los
Angeles.
'with Lincoln and Koerner with
Wichita."
Jordan is a well set up young fel
low of 26 and he has a good reputa
tion back east. He used the spitball a
good deal back there and be can use
it out here this year because he will
start the season labeled as a spitball
lunger. He started in 28 games, won
15 and lost ten with the Buffalo club
last year. Washington grabbed him
and sold him to San Francisco. Jordan
will get into uniform a little later in
the week and show what he can do.
He has no weight to take off. The
other pitchers have quite a start on
mm In training.

BOTES HOT SPRINGS (training
camp of Salt Lake club). March 8.
(Special.) Pitcher Madison, who
came to the Saints in a trade of
Pitcher Dale to Dallas', arrived this
morning and reported in uniform for
the workout. Madison won 20 games
last season for the Texas league club.
He is a right-hander and apparently
In good condition,' for he went right
through the workout in good fashion.
Stroud signed his contract this
morning and was in uniform with the
balance of the men. A couple of days
and Stroud will be in tiptop form.
Because it looked somewhat like
rain, the talent insisted on an early
appearance at the ball park. They
started at 12:15 and went right on
through without their lunch hour.
Jenkins and Heine Sands, the little
thlrd-sacker, who was farmed out to
Bloomington last season, had the
"pen" of the outfit and had to be
told to desist. Sands saya he brought
his trunk with him and plans to stay.
He looks a greatly improved, ball
player.
The whereabouts of Earl Sheely is
still a matter of mystery.

VANCOUVER AFTER FRANCHISE
400 Average Attendance Held Suf

VANCOUVER, Wash.. March S.
(Special.) The work of financing a
baseball team in Vancouver for the
coming season is to be started at
once, and with this in view a meeting
of those interested is being held to-'
night
E. E. Larrimore, president of the
organization, today said that Vancou
ver will be the smallest city in the
league, but that it has been arranged
so that an average daily attendance
of 400 a day will pay all expenses.
It is proposed to sell 1000 shares of
stock at $10 a share to raise the nec
essary 110,000, which will assure Van
couver the franchise. It is hoped to
get the committee busy selling stock
by Wednesday or Thursday.
OAKS GET JAWBONE DRILL
Baker's Dozen of Pitchers Lob 'Em
Over the Old Platter.
OAKLAND. Cal., March 8. (Spe
cial.) Del Howard and his collection
of baseball players opened the train
ing season here this morning. More
than two-thirds of the total Oak
staff reported for the initial workout
which consisted chiefly of a verbal
explanation of the proper and improp
er methods of playing ball by the
eminent chief of the east bay club.
Howard, dolled up in a 1920 model
baseball suit watched several of his
pitchers heave 'em over the old plat
ter and also put his catchers and
fielders through a short programme
of training.
The Oakland club is not wanting in
pitchers. The personnel of the twirl
ing staff now contains 13 heavers of
every size and description. The
catching department is not so well
off, although Howard has Mltze,
Spellman and Gorman working for
receiving jobs.
In the infield Howard believes he
has a very likely prospect in the per
son of Ginglardi. a semi-pro player
who has been showing heaps of class.
In the outer garden there will be the
old standbys. Miller, Lane and Wylie.
with Cooper and Peterson both look
ins for positions on the team.
Guisto. Zeider, Knight, Jackson, A.
Arlctt. Mitchell. Paull and Ginglardi
are the infielders. The pitchers are

Swartz and Winn.
lOV BLUE SIGNS CONTRACT
First Sackcr Now on Way to Club's
Southern Training uarters.
The only thing to transpire at base
ball headquarters yesterday was the
arrival of Lou Blue's signed contract
and the Beaver first sacker is by this
time on his way to Ontario, Cal., from
Washington, D. C.
Judge William Wallace McCredie Is
not very sanguine about the chances
of Portland getting either "Slim"
Love or "Red" Oldham from Detroit,
but it would of course not be a sur
prising thing if either of these twirl
ers were turned over to the Mackmen
later in the year. Portland will no
doubt get more help from Detroit be
fore the season is very far under
way, but it will not necessarily be in
the line of pitchers.
Detroit is as well supplied with
. left-hand heavers as Portland, having
four on the list, but one of them is
a busher and will be farmed out
closer to home. The other three are

STOCKTON, Cal. (Training camp of

and sick young athlete today, he had
a touch of ptomaine poisoning and
he looked as if he had been pulled
through a knothole. When Jordan

BULL MANAGERS TO MEET
SEMI-PRO CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD THURSDAY NIGHT.
Good condition, which' is nine
tenths of a battle won, may again
place the Vernon Tigers on top of the
percentage column when the end of
the 1920 baseball season is reached.
A well-known baseball fan who
knows the game and can tell a team
when he sees one is back from a trip
to southern California and says that
Bill Essick's 1919 cnampions are al
ready in mid-season form. Nearly all
of the members of the Tiger squaa
have been playing at least twice
week all winter in the south and when
the call for training camp was issued
were already for the start of the coast
league race.
Bv far and away the Tigers will
have the most conspicuous pitching
staff in the league and when one con
centrates on the various staffs on the
circuit he knows that Vernon must be
there a million.
The Vernon team has always been
one of the best drawing cards in the
league and for the last five or six
years they have been sitting in the
first divis on. The late "Happy" HO
gan made the Tigers famous through
his "never say die fighting spirit" If
the breaks were hopelessly against
them and the score stood 10-0, Hogan
would have his men out there fight'
ing to the last play. The Tigers al
ways have been a drawing card ana
they will continue to be.
The Vernon club, in spite or it be
ing inside of two miles from Wash
ington park, the home of the Angels,
draws some monster crowds. ine
Tigers have drawn a tight rivalry be
tween the two southern clubs and the
fans are divided in their favoritism.
Several Commercial Houses Plan
to Have Teams This Season and
Leagues Are In Forming.
A meeting of all semi-pro baseball
team managers who are interested in
organizing an independent baseball
league has been called for Thursday
night at the A. G. Spalding Bros,
store. Jack Routledge, who is in
charge of Spalding's Amateur base
ball bookings. Is eager to get the in
dependent league off to an early start
and is calling all team managers to
gether who intend to put a team in
the field this season.
Several teams already have turned
out for their first practice. One of
the best looking nines that has been
heard from so far is that of the
American Can company. The Caneos
held their first practice Sunday and
more than 25 candidates were on hand
for . tryouts.- Another commercial
house team to turn out Sunday was
the Coin Machine Manufacturing company.
Gail B. Shadinger of the community
service is devoting much of his time
to developing semi-pro baseball this
season. He has visited all of the car
barns and the railroad boys are en
thusiastic about forming several
teams. It may be possible to form a
league among the car men. The de
partment stores have declared their
intention to enter teams in a league.
There has always been a shortage of
grounds to play on before but this
season Mr. Keyser or tne Portland
park bureau assures the team man
agers that there will be grounds for
everyone.
Mr. Shadinger and Mr. Routledge
are working in co-operation in tne
organization of baseball leagues and
f all of their plans are completed
semi-pro circuits will be as plentiful
as profiteers.
FLOCK ANSWERS GUARD CALL
Candidates Given Three-Inning
Tryout by "Si" Simonsen.
Twenty-seven candidates respond
ed to the Multnomah Guard's first call
for baseball Sunday, a veritable
wealth of material cluttering the dia
mond seeking try-outs. Al Noyer,
prominent semi-pro player, who is
handing out the contracts for" the
Guards, gave every man an oppor
tunity to show his wares, each man
going three innings in a game be
tween the regulars and the yannigans.
In the twirling end the prospects
are bright. In the outfield it will be
difficult to pick the men, while on
the Infield there are several likely
looking chaps contesting for regular
berths, which will be allotted, says
Manager "SI" Simonsen on ability
alone. Several men who are figured
to have a good chance to make the
earn did not show up Sunday, but will
be on hand next Sunday, practice be
ing scheduled for 1:30 P. M. Those
wishing tryouts should show up then
or get in touch with Simonsen at 232
Chamber of Commerce building.
CITY LINKS ATTRACT 5IANY
Record Attendance of 103 Players
on Sunday Is Reported.
Sunday was a record day for at
tendance at the municipal golf links
at Eastmoreland, according to C. P.
Keyser, superintendent of Portland's
parks. Between the hours of 7 A. M.
and 5 P. M. 193 players drove off the
first tee for a round over the nine
holes at Eastmoreland. Sunday was
an ideal day for golf, which accounted
for the large attendance at the Jinks.
Work on the second nine at the
municipal course is progressing rap
idly and tne notes win probably pe
ready for play by the latter part of
May or the first of June.
The new clubhouse which is also
being planned for the course will be
ready by July.

tor's desk for Perle Casey, coast
Jasue umpire. .
When Hogan passed away he was
succeeded by a number of managers
but none of them could get the Tigers
anywhere. Among these were Doc
White, a former White Sox pitching
star, and "Ham" Patterson, a first
sacker oi the Tiger club under the
Hogan regime. Essick, a man
ager in the Western league, was se
cured and to date he has come
through in fine shape during the two
years he has been at the helm of the
Bengals. In 1918 he was sitting in
first position when baseball was
abandoned for enlistment. The An
gels were a couple of notches under
the Tigers and it was decided to let
the two southern teams play it out
for the Pacific Coast league pennant
that year. The Angels defeated the
Tigers and thereby won the pennant
for the half-completed season. How
ever, the Tigers got it back last year
when they did the impossible won
seven games in a row and crept in
ahead of the Angels two days before
the, season closed.
Now for the Tiger hurling staff:
Just take a look at these heavers, all
are from last year's team: Mitchell
and Ross, Southpaws; Rex Dawson,
"Wheezer" Dell, Byron Houck, Joe
Finneran, Art Fromme, Pete Schnei
der. Schneider was with the Tigers
during the latter part of the 1919
season. Here is the pitching aver
ages of the Tiger heavers during the
1919 season:
Finneran, 14 wins and 3 defeats,
average 824; Ross, 3 wins and 1 de
feat, average .750; Fromme, 19 wins
and 7 defeats, average .731; Dall. 23
wins and 15 defeats, average .603
Mitchell, 8 wins and 6 defeats, aver
age .571; Houck, 17 wins and 15 de
feats, average .531; Rawson, 14 wins
and 13 defeats, average .531; Schnei
der, 1 win and 1 defeat, average .500
All of the above twirlers will be
back again to fling the pill for "Vin
egar Bill" Essick and they should be
a hard bunch to beat if their work of
last year is to be judged by. Besides
these Essick will have Lanfranco
Moffitt, Kressler, right-handers, and
"Lefty" Mann, a southpaw. The last
four are recruits and will have a
hard fight on' their Sands if they ex
pect to stiyk.
Until the present season, or for the
past two years. Bill Rodgers was the
"boy manager" of the Pacific Coast
league. That Is, Bill was the latest
player to be selected from the play
ing ranks and made a manager, but
in the coming race Bill might be
termed a "veteran," as Clyde Wares
and Ernie Johnson now are the two
"kid" managers of the league.
Wares, who formerly played the
Oakland infield, will guide the hopes
of the Seattle team. He has assem
bled a club that looks to be in the
race .and he has a grand chance to
make a reputation for himself. Ernie
Johnson, shortstop, came to the Salt
Lake team from the big leagues last
season and has taken the place of
Eddie Herr as skipper of that club.
The Salt Lake team finished a close
third last year and Johnson has a
Btrong club with which to start out
his career as a pilot.
demon Is the champion of Kentucky
and second high in the 1919 averages,
while Troeh is the Washington cham
pion and 18-yard champion of the
United States.
Just the number of targets has not
I been determined, but it is more than
likely that they will shoot at 20 tar
gets from 16 yards, 20 from 18 yards,
20 from 20 yards. 20 from 22 yards
and 10 pairs of doubles 100 targets
.in alL
This should be a great contest. The
shooters are the best four amateurs
in North America, if not the world.
Arte, Henderson and Troeh were the
leading three in the 1919 averages and
Wright was fifth. They are trap
shooting champions of their own
states, and Troeh, Arie and Hender
son have been champions of the
United States and Canada a title
which Wright now holds.
All four are high-class doubles
shooters. Troeh is a former cham
pion and Arie has been runner-up.
All are as much at home on the back
marks as they are on the front lines,
and a competition as mentioned above
would in reality decide the all-around
amateur trapshooting championship
of the country.
The Oregon and Lakewood tourna
ments are scheduled for May, while
the Illinois state championship is list
ed for June. There is a possibility
that the snooters will continue their
match at the Canadian national exhi
bition in Toronto the last week In
August, but this matter Is in the
hands of the exhibition people.
Each of the three shooting organi
zations mentioned has given $1000 for
the match and this money will be
pooled at the finish, the man break
ing the greatest number, of .targets
receiving about 7a per cent of the
money.

One of the greatest trapshooting

club in May.
Trapshooting has long been a matter-of-fact
pastime. Thousands of
tournaments are held yearly, and they
are all pretty much alike just trap

state shoot has never left this class.
Seldom is there one held out of the

mittee in charge of outdoor athletics
at Multnomah club last night The
committee, which is composed of John
O. Baker, chairman, George Gammie
and Sam H. Bellah, is preparing for
one of the biggest track seasons in
the history of the club.
The committee intends to get a

on the calendar, and will be followed
by a dual meet between the clubmen
and the Oregon Agricultural college.
This meet will be held on May 12,
either here or at Corvallis.
The P. N. A. championships will be
held or. the winged-M field in May or

be held in Pasadena. The winged-M
team will also enter the Pow-Wow
meet at Spokane, which will be held
later in the season.
No captain was elected at the meet
ing last night, but the track men will
make their selection of a pilot within
the next week or so. The following
men turned in their names last night
as candidates for the team: S. W.

CRICKET FIGHTING POPULAR
United States Marines Enjoy Fun
and Bet Money on Favorites.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 8. Cricket
fighting is a popular sport in China,
according to United States marines
who just returned here from a tour of
duty in the orient.
The most celebrated cricket fights
are those at Fa-ti, near Canton," says
one of these sea soldiers. "A number
of sheds are provided, made of mat
ting, and are divided up into com
partments. Each compartment con
tains a table with a vessel standing
on it In which the encounters take
place.
"Big contests are waged, the at
tendance is large and betting is heavy.
Final results are posted conspicuously.
Crickets are matched according to
weight and color.
"When a cricket with a long record
of victories dies its owner puts it in
a tiny coffin and buries it, believing
that funeral honors will assure him
good luck in finding good fighting
crickets."
STREAMS WILL BE CLOSED
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
The fight game is certainly a funny
proposition and about the hardest one
to figure in tne books.
Captain Boh Rod er camA out here
from Chicago a month or so ago to
fight Boy McCormlck. Ropes came as
highly touted as any boxer that ever
crossea tne Rockies and in the bout
with McCormlck had the eda-e in
weight of between 12 and 20 pounds.
The result of the bout was never in
doubt. Roper fought like an "edu
cated Holstein" and 'Andsorae Boy
Mccormick gave him a beautiful lac
ing for ten rounds. Never during one
wnoie minute of the bout did Roper
snow anything to the fans to con
vince them that he had ever won or
put up a good fight in his life. His
showing put him on a par with Jack
Root, who did manage to beat Larry
Madden one night, long ago.
Roper's handlers could not explain
his showing and did not try, merely
saying that they could not figure it
in and that he was not himself. Of
course the fans would hardly believe
it after the sorry exhibition.
But right here is where the funny
proposition comes in. Since his re
turn east Roper has had threefights,
which in the first place shows that
he must be a card or they would not
use him. Secondly he faced two of
the best men in the world and beat
one of them. His other opponent was
a tough second or third-rater named
Jack Kelly, whom Roper knocked out.
His first start after that .was against
Harry Greb, the Pittsburg light
heavyweight. No one will dispute
Greb's ability. The latter won the
decision at the end of what was
termed as ten furious rounds of box
ing. Roper's bout with McCormlck
hardly reached the "fury" class.
Last week came the surprise of
their life to the local fans who are
close followers of the game and
watch the east.
toper took: on Bill Erennan In a
10-round bout in Saginaw, Mich., and
won from the fighting Irishman, who
is rated as one of the five best heavy
weights in the world. Brennan may
have had an off night, just like Roper
evidently had here, but nevertheless
he received a beating, so the Captain
may have something after alL
flicts that develop as the applications
are received.
Present indications are that the
schedule will include an unusually
large number of applications, an this
fact, coupled with the prooame num
ber of international events, will make
it a difficult matter to avoid some
conflicts. Not only must provision oe
