VERNON HAS BUSY MORNING
? Manager Essick Hopes to Land Bill
' Piercy, Late of Sacramento.
LOS ANGELKS, Cal., March 15.
fSpecial.) After sending his Vernon
Tigers through a stiff workout at
Washington park this morning, Man-
arer Bill Essick called it quits for
the day and the entire Vernon crew
watched the Cub-Angel game in the
afternoon. Essick is hopeful of soon
landing Bill Piercy, last year with
Sacramento.
Piercy says there is only 11500 dif
ference between what he wants and
the amount the Yankees offer him to
play ball. It is said that Miller J.
Huggins, on the occasion of his trip
here to sign Babe Ruth, only offered
him $2400 for the season. J. Carlisle
Smith, former Boston Brave third
baseman, has not yet left Atlanta,
Ga., to report to the Tigers, who ob
tained him from the Yankees. Essick
in confident, however, that Smith is
working out in Atlanta artd that he
will be on the coast when the season
opens April 6.
Catcher Clarence Brooks is still
holding out. Rex Dawson and Byron
Houck have quit.

STOCKTON, Cal.. March 15. (Spe

Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg Pirates,
will not report to the San 'Francisco

Graham's troubles this morning when
he sent a wire from Bowling Green,
Ky., advising the manager of his de
termination to quit baseball. From
the way the Seals are shaping up
they will have a tight fielding club.
They should get some good pitching,
but they will not dazzle anyone with

RAJX STOPS OAKS WORKOUT
Stiff Joints After Three Hard
Games Lays- Off Many Players
SAN FRANCISCO, March 15. (Spe
cial.) Manager Del Howard had
planned to give his Oaks one of their
longest workouts at the Emeryville
ball orchard today, but the weather
man acted as a good friend to the
players by sending rain to pay them
a visit jusfabout the hour that they
had been quitting the field last week
It Is surprising that some one of
the Oaks did not report on the Job

Thirty-six rounds of battling will be

Willie Meehan of San Francisco meet

the main event of ten rounds.
Frankie Jones, clever San Fran

rounds against Scotty Williams of
Chicago in the seml-wlndup with
three all-star six-round bouts com
pleting the banner outlay of fights.
The last card at Milwaukie was
more or less of a "slow gin" affair
which, in other words, took with the
fans just like an attack of "bevo"
after last July 16.
There was plenty of action to the
show, but the main event was one of
the well-known "flivvers."

prove not only highly interesting but

Jones to Meet Williams.
Fearless Frankie Jones, who Is the
possessor of an exceedingly nimble
pair of legs and fleet feet, will wield
a wickd pair of gloves against
"Scotty" Williams in the semi-final of
l eight rounds. That Is, the bout is
billed tu go eight rounds. It won t go
any more than that, but there are dire
possH)ilitics of it not going that far.
This Williams person happens to
carry a mean punch and when he
lands it square It is liable to make his
opponent feel as if he were suffering
from shell shock. "Scotty" has never
put anybody away permanently with
his wallop, but has given a lot of boys
a rest of five minutes or so during his
career in the ring.

SEMI-PRO HEADS GALLED
PORTLAND BASEBALL ASSN. TO
MEET THURSDAY NIGHT.
Organized Schedule for Local and
Nearby Nines Is Aim of League
Now Being Formed.
The 'first regular meeting of the
Portland Baseball assocatlon will be
held Thursday night at t o'clock at
A. G. Spalding & Bros.' store, Broad
way and Alder street. Every semi
pro manager in the city is expected
to attend, whether interested in en
tering the proposed circuit or not, as
the meeting is being called to discuss
plans that are for -the best interests
of Independent ball.
According to Jack Routledge. Spald
Ing's booking agent, with the large
number of semi-pro teams in the field
this year, there is bound to be a great
deal of congestion and trouble In ob
talning grounds, and it is therefore to
the advantage of these teams to have
a permanent organization composed
of every independent team In the city
According to the scheme now be
ing worked out, every team which
enters the league will have an equal
chance of carrying off the champion
ship, regardless of the strength of
the nine. Present plans are to classify
each team according to its strength.
In a city the size of Portland there
should be at least 24 teams in the
association, which would mean four
classes of six teams each.
The advantages of an organized
circuit are many, but the chief one is
that when a game Is scheduled both
teams have a guarantee that the other
will be on deck. The greatest trouble
Independent nines have is scheduled
games with other teams. All this
trouble and unnecessary work Is tak
en oft the managers hands by an
organized league, with a schedule
drawn up before the season opens.
At present there are ten teams that
have expressed their desire of enter
ing the association. Ttie latest team
to come to the front ia Bill Healis'
Kirkpatrick All-Stars. Healis has
somo good material lined up, and his
team is expected to make a good
showing this season.
Routledge is desirous of hearing
from some of the small towns near
Portland who will have teams In the
field this year. By dropping a card to
Spalding's before Thursday their plans
will be brought up before the associa
tion and arrangements for inter-city
games can be carried out.
To the Overlook All-Stars and
American Can company teams goes
the honor of staging the first game
of the season. Sunday the two squads
met in a practice game on the Mont
gomery flats, the Cancos losing to the
east side lads, g to Z. The managers
of both teams worked several recruits
in the line-up In an endeavor to get
line on the material available for
the City league season, of which both
teams will be members.
Manager Doving of the Overlook
team would like to arrange a few
games with inter-city teams. He can
be reached at Woodiawn 3216. -
The Multnomah Guard squad would
also like to arrange a few practice
games for the coming Sundays, and
their manager. Si Slmonsen, may be
reached at Main 6144.

Willie Jackson, whom he held even.

of Noye's bout In Tacoma, but also
wanted to vail himself with the op
portunity to try and get Johnny on
here and also line something up for
Gorman and Mascott. Noye Is plan
ning on returning to Minneapolis the
latter part of this month, but will
com1) out to the coast again. Kvam

Noye against either Freddie Ander
son or Eddie Shannon this month, but
If the Portland Commission does not
show on March 24 there is little
chance of such a match.
