JOHNSON MAKING GOOD Maisei Will Captain Portland To day Against Chicago Cubs at Lonjr Reach Park. ONTARIO, Cal., March 17. (Spe cial.) Unless Detroit fails absolutely Its effWts to wrangle Second Baseman Ellison through the waiver lines of 15 major league baseball clubs, the former miller will soon be wearing a Portland uniform. Boss McCredie, who Is a man of only a few thousand words, said today that Ellison had been turned over to Portland and he expected word one way or the other concerning the waiver matter within a few days. If Detroit is unable to get Ellison through the waiver pitfalls, Infielder Hale probably will be sent to Port land. It develops that the Detroit club ilso is mixed up in the proposed trade of Outfielder Walker of the Beavers 'o New Orleans for Pitcher Torkelson. Walker, it seems, was handed over to Detroit last winter in exchange for Cunningham to be used in a barter iietween Detroit and the Seals for Kamm. which deal came to naught etroit thereupon turned Walker iiack to Boss McCredie. Recently, Then Walker refused flatfootedly to cme west, he was again turned over to Detroit to place on the market. ind, unless Detroit already had ooked up some deal for him. It is irobable that McCredie will advise Owner Navin to shunt him off to New 'rieans for Pitcher Torkelson. Tor l.elson is a spitball pitcher and may : rot be of much value after this year, liut just at the present time Mc 'redie needs a couple of dependables la tho box. Taeoma Can Hare Stuart. Mack announced today that Out fielder Sam Stuart would be released o the Tacoma club if Manager Bobby Vaughn wants him. Vaughn Is ex acted in camp before the end of the .-eek. Pitchers Bam a be, Lesher and Johnson and Infielder Shranger ap pear" to be the best prospects amongst he Cadets under McCredie's eye. Mouthful outfielders Cuyler and ai vis and Infielders Honeck of Michi gan and a new recruit, Getchine of Pasadena and Pitchers Libke and urnlng, probably will get tryouts he Pacific international as all of i hem are very promising. The "Dutch" trimmed the "Irish :n the annual St. Patrick's day game today 4-1, as a result of two home ans off .Sou tli paw D timing of Brooklyn.

"One of the finest prospects I have ever seen," remarked Boss McCredie i fter Johnson's workout, which shows t nat It doesn't pay to take snap Judg ment, because it was only a couple of ays ago that Mack announced he had the ax ready for the young Multno i.iah club slabbing recruit. Southpaw Barnabe. on first for the Irish, looked like a big leaguer with he willow. He belted out two safe its and almost knocked another out f the lot. Kingdon bagged a double, . single and a dead hall in four trips, i'.arnabe is a versatile chap, as he pitches, cavorts around the infield or omps in the gardens with equal eff ectiveness. Boss McCredie personally will lead ':is yannigans against Longbush to morrow, and during his absence ;eorge Maisei will captain the Bea . ers against the Chicago Cubs. uney and Poison will hurl against hicago. with Johnson and Libke do tig the hurling at Long Beach. The .ppointment of Maisei as temporary aptain may mean that the husky outfielder will be Mack's choice for Us playing leader. Wisterzil forfeited his right to do he field boss job by refusing to re port for training. WHIM OF WOMAN CAUSES WOE TO BEAVER MANAGER George Cunningham's Wife Objects to Pitcher's Appearance in Coast League This Season and Boss McCredie Chafes as Date Gets Closer. 0! BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. NTARIO, Cal., March 17. (Spe cial.) Unless George Cunning ham reports to the Portland club before April S there may be a neat little squabble over the Pacific Coast league's new legislation against the use of the spitball." Boss McCredie's interpretation of the anti-spitter rule Is that the man ager must list the spitball pitchers actually with his club on opening day and only those twirlers will be priv ileged to use the Irrigated slant dur ing the 1920 season. Of course this Interpretation sounds ridiculous as applied to a case such as Cunningham's, but the "mags" have been known to do a silly thing or two in bygone days and Walt may be right. If so, it Is up to the former Detroit pitcher to put the "bug" on his wife iS3 Wea Kingdon, Reaver shortstop, it ho la making good at Ontario.

SMITH REPORTS TO YERXOX Manager Essick Already Visions 1921 Pennant on Tiger Flagpole. LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 17. (Special.) Manager Essick, Vernon, received a telegram this morning from J. Carlisle Smith, Boston Brave third baseman, obtained through the Yankees, that the red-head was leav ing Atlanta. Ga., today for Los Angeles. Smith added that he was In perfect condition, having been work ing out with big league clubs in Georgia and Florida. Despite the wet condition of Wash ington park this morning the Tigers ivent through a practice session. They remained off the infield however, as it was being- rolled tp fit it for the speedily and convince her that the folk out here do noallve in tepees and that they use vacuum cleaners, electric curling irois and can chin themselves on lorgnettes, if necessity demands, and that the women don't ride men's bicycles, and so on, ad in finitum. For Mrs. Cunningham is the obsta cle in this particular triangle. Mrs. Cunningham is a Chattanooga girl and wants hubby to play ball in the ol' home tewn. But Walter Mc Credie is figuring on the Detroiter as one of his pitching mainstays and doesn't seem inclined to grant! the woman's whim and so there the deal stands in its pristine nakedness. If Mack sells him he loses a good pitching bet and if he doesn't and Cunningham reports out here after the season's opening he may not be permitted to use his "spitter." And Cunningham, being a sure-enough spitball twirler, would be like a bull frog minus his hops without the use of the saliva delivery. Can you won der that Mack is wearing a frown? ! DeL Baker played on- the Detroit club with Cunningham and shares Mc Credie's optimism concerning Cun ningham. Baker caught for Detroit in 1914, 1915 and 1916. Cunningham reported to Hughey Jennings in 1914 and was sent to Chattanooga, where he pitched brilliantly in the southern league. Detroit yanked him back to the big show in 1915 and he has been on the Tiger payroll for the five seasons intervening. "Cunningham pitched and won his first game in the big league at Cleve land against Stanley Covaleskie." re marked Baker today. "Harry Cova leskie had been booked to pitch against his brother Stanley, but Harry refused to show, for it was Harry's first game for Cleveland. Attracted by the advertised combat between the two brother Poles a great crowd turned out that afternoon and Cun ningham won by a score of 2 to 1 In 12 innings." Baker says that he feels sure Cun ningham wants to come to the coast, because he wrote him In 1917, when Baker was catching for San Francisco, and besought his aid In bringing about a transfer to the Seals. Accord ing to Walter Mack the judge has accepted Cunningham's salary terms and so that puts It squarely up to Mrs. Cunningham as the obstacle in the deal that was supposed to strengthen the Beavers' slabbing corps. Cunningham is a right-hander, weighs about 185 pounds and is built on the order of George Maisei chunks and husky through the chest. - Dick Cox fractured his leg sliding into third base last fall, but he seems not the least bit bothered this spring. In fact, Cox is one' of the spryest young men on the Portland squad. He has been hitting the ball hard and onen in me practice sessions. ' Ontario Is the model burg for train ing ballplayers climate perfect, townspeople hospitable and avenues of possible dissipation closed as tight as an Armenian drumhead. There isn't a pool or billiard hall in the place and the movies are dark on Sunday night. Ernie Johnson of Salt Lake has made repeated offers for several of the Beavers Pennington, Maisei, Wisterzil and others. He offered $450 for Pennington and Mack hunched the offer a mere trifle "2500 and no guaranty of his reporting." BflXW 11 1 TO ARRANGE Honeyman Angling for Good Men for Next Meet. ANDERSON SIGNS FOR GO McKlnley as the main possible con tenders. Peterson and Fordyce had stepped brilliantly into the running by elimi nating Gray and Wooddy, strong fac ulty players, the first of the week by scores of 19-21, 21-6 and 21-19. Shum way and Wilson progressed by de feating Osbora and Whealdon, 21-13 and 21-8. About the only spring sport not yet in evidence on the Reed campus ia swimming. Fred Libke, the Astoria southpaw cadet. Is coming along .slowly and may show something if Boss McCredie doesn't cut him loose too soon. Libke won 22 out of 24 games in the brush last year and has the physique and control that are attributes of the suc cessful slabster. Somebody told Mack, though, that the Standifer team had given Libke a fierce 8-to-0 licking and that he didn't 'have much" on the ball and the big manager seems a trifle prejudiced. Mack says Libke is too "stiff" in his movements to become a good pitcher. Portland's training schedule, follow ing the Cub game, reads like this: March 18 Long Beach Elks at Long Beach. March 20 March Field (air service) at Ontario. March 21 March Field at Ferris, Yannigans. March 21 Stall & Dean, Los An geles, at Ontario. March 24 Oregon Aggies at On tario. March 25 Oregon Aggies at On tario. Impromptu practice sessions also will be staged with the Pomona high school and other teams hereabouts. Under the contract with Ontario the local boosters pay the Portland train ing expenses and take all gate money. They, guaranteed . the Cubs $50 and the option of 50 per, cent of the receipts.

The Portland boxing commission will stage a card next Wednesday night, March 26. after alL At the meeting of the commission several days ago the resignation of Jack Grant was accepted, the plans for the next card were talked over, but at the time it was practically decided not to stage a bill until April. However, after reconsideration Walter Honey man, secretary of the commission, who was empowered to go ahead and arrange the cards until another ina.icnmaKer is appointed, will go through March 26 with a classy pro gramme.

(Spe cial.) D. E. Bates, Seattle infielder, and Jack Adams, newly acquired catcher, formerly of the Philadelphia Nationals, will soon undergo opera tions for the removal of their tonsils, t was announced today by Manager Clyde Wares. Both players have been troubled with sore arms smce tney struck camp, and, following a chlro- nraetic treatment yesterday, the de cision was made to remove them to a hospital near by and have the tonsils removed. According to the diagnosis of the "Doc" the players' tonsils have caused a rheumatic soreness in the throwing arms. The first signs of retrenchment by the Siwashes took place today when Manager Wares sent Shortstop Rap French to the Des Moines club of the Western league in payment for In fielder. Bruce Hartford, who shapes up like the Siwasnes' fixture for short during the coming season. Three other recruits will likely follow French before the week is out. Roy Francis, a southpaw pitcher from Dinuba: Bob Nixon, an out fielder from the Sacramento mid-win ter league, and Frank Tobin, a catch er from the same place, are all slated for the Western league as soon as Manager Wares cn arrange a satis factory deal with Jack Coffey, skip per of the Des Moines outfit. Wares is now negotiating with Coffey so as to make sure of the players reverting to Seattle at the close of the 1920 season. - The grounds were a bit soft in spots after yesterday's showers, but today's sunshine should put them in shape for hard work tomorrow.

Mickey Shader. once upon a Urn coast league timber, who is going to heave for a San Joaquin valley league club, laid it over good and thick on the Oakland coasters this afternoon at the Presidio ball grounds. Mickey was on the mound for the All-Army team and not only chalked up a 3-to-2 victory, but he held the Oaklanders to four scattered hits for the full nine innings. It was a tight game all th way. From the fourth inning until the eighth It was a 2-to-2 tie, and then came a home run by Holcomb. third sacker of the army men, that gave the soldier lads their needed run for the victory. Shader showed big league stuff, had a lot on the ball and fooled the leaguers all the way. The score: R. H. E. R. H. E.

A. court by a score of 25 to 14, and incidentally the Quakers upset the dope, for they were not expected to pile up such a lead as they did. Close cnecking and perfect passing was the main factor that figured in the victory of' th Quakers, while to "Fielder" Jones Franklin's' defense man, goes the honor of putting the game on ice for his team with five field baskets. The points made by the Lincoln players were scattered. Five were made in the first half, while Franklin was getting. 19. Leggltt got the single Railsplitters' field basket in the first period before he was re placed by Ted Steffen, while the other three points came by the free-throw route, with Dave Wright on the toss ing end. , In the second half the spectators were anxiously waiting for the Lin coln team to do a comeback, but the Quakers held them to nine points. while they gathered in six, which still left the wearers of the Maroon F a safe margin. While the entire Franklin team was working together well and it would hardly.be fair to give the credit for the victory to any particular player, the work of "Fielder" Jones and 'Chappie" King deserves special men tion. It was the close checking of King that kept Captain Cole of the Lincoln team from scoring a single point during the game. Ted stetten and isiu tsecK piayea the hardest game for the losers.

Roly-poly "Phat" Willie Meehan of San Francisco was awarded a draw with Hugh Walker, rugged Kansas City heavyweight, after 10 rounds of hard milling in the .main, event of last night's fistic card at the Milwau kie arena, but should have had Ref eree Denver Ed Martin's decision. The rotund San Francisco heavy weight earned five of the ten rounds, the second, third, sixth, seventh and eighth, took a slight shade in the first and was the aggressor through out. Walker won the ninth heads down and a possible shade in the fourth and fifth. Meehan'a ripping body punches were his strong forte. Meehan Ia Comedian. The battle was the best heavy weight mill staged in this part of the country for many years, with Meehan registering one of the biggest nits ever recorded in fistic history here. He lived up to every word said about him and introduced a style of bat tling that has never been equaled In the local ring. He poked. Jabbed, slammed, sent in etraight lefts, right crosses and a few others thrown In. During the early rounds when he was fresh he kept the house in an uproar with his antics and proved a treat for sore eyes. Meehan started out in the first round with his peculiar style of wind- up and slashing attack that be wildered Walker and fairly battered the young Kansas City boy all over the ring in the second and third cantos. In the fourth and fifth Walker ral lied and landed some sriff punches, but failed to slow Willie up in the least. The sixth found Meehan flay ing in again and the seventh went to him by a wide margin. In the eighth Meehnn either pushed or knocked Walker through the ropes to the floor and earned the round. The ninth was Walker's best round and in that canto he had Meehan worried. Willie came back in the tenth and finished strong. Referee Martin rais ing the hands of both men. It may be said for Walker that he is the best-looking heavyweight that has in vaded the northwest from thtsjeast. Broniion-Caaey Go Classic. The six-round mill between Muff Bronson, the clever Portland light weight, and Harry Casey of Seattle, who substituted for Frenchy Vaise, was the best preliminary match on the card and will'go down as a clas sic. Muff did his comeback like a champion and won the decision by a mile. The third round of the bout was a "Donnybrook" frim start to finish, with the boys standing toe to toe and swapping punches, Bronson always coming out the winner. It looked several times as if he would finish the Seattle mixer, who out weighed him seven or eight pounds, but the tough Casey stayed the dis tance. Frankie Jones of San Francisco and "Scotty" Williams of Chicago boxed eight rounds to a draw in the serai windup. The Seal Rocks city welter weight was not taking any chances with his muscular colored opponent, while Williams refused to fight' if he was hit. Tommy Barone, stumpy little St Paul 30-pounder, was lucky to get a draw with Bert Forbeslof Seattle in their six-round tilt. Forbes hit Barone 19 times to the latter's once in every canto, and floored Barone in the third round with a right cross, but the St Paul boxer was up with out a count Jack Barry, the sorrel- topped Oregon City lightweight, won a six-round decision over Carl Martin of Portland ftn the curtain raiser. The card as a whole was excellent. but not a profitable one to the Mil- wiuki commission. i ne nexi uiu will be held March 31, with Fred Ful ton probably meeting Willie Meehan.
