THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, 3IARCII 23, 1920 12 . . t :V,i q 21 PLAYERS HOW I IN BEAVER 301 Yesterday Spent in Pensive Reflection on Rain. DOUBLE DATES THIS WEEK Boss Walter Begins to Sort Out Talent and Assemble Frame work of Team. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. ONTARIO. CaL. March 22. (Sps Rummy and penny-ante occu- Died live minds of the Portland base ball stars and satellites today in their snrinir training maneuvers. If Nor man Ross had been In town he' could have tried for a couple of new world's records, tor rain fell all night long and most of today. Not all the atn letes flitted with - the festive paste boards, as Southpaw Billy Lesher wrapped his lame arm In bandages and hied himself to Los Angeles to take a peep at the bis; harbor and the steamships puffing up. the Los An geles river. Bill doesn't care for a pair of wicked Johns and lost the price of a Methodist hair cut. The rest of the players sat around and wondered what Boy McCredie was foing to do with them. And McCredie sat around and wondered the same thins. 21 Players on Squad. The Beaver squad is down to 21 players now that Sam Stuart is gone. Stuart drove one of the cars that took the Yannigans to Long Beach the oth er day and forgot to turn it back to lta owner on schedule time, and as a consequence got himself into the toils for trying to break the speed laws on the Pomona city streets. Stuart looks like a pretty hitter and may land with one of the Pacific In ternational league clubs if he eludes the blood hounds that have been sicked on him by the Los Angeles county officials. It is unlikely that any further reductions in personnel will occur before next week. Mac will need enough talent to enable him to take care of a couple of double dates scheduled for the coming week. For instance, two games may be played tomorrow, one at Elmonte and the other here or at Pomona, against Pomona college. Mac received let ter from his uncle. Judge McCredie, who is also president of the Beavers, and the judge admonished his young nephew to give every opportunity to the cadet crop In camp. Since open ing his spring camp ilol.'redic has tried out ten youngsters with no pro fessional league experience and four players with some experience in minor organ ntations. This last named quar tet consists of Pitcher Juney of the old Northwestern league. Southpaw Uuriiing of Brooklyn, Pitcher Poison of the Texa league, who came via Detroit, and Infiider Spranger of the Western t'anada circuit. Spranger probably will stick with the Beavers as utility infielder. as ho wields a dandy pair of hands, is fast, full of pep and may learn to hit. Jnney Likely to Hold On. Pitcher Juney twirled brilliant ball gainst the Chicago Cubs, holding the Cubs to one hit in five innings, and It imed surprise nobody if the former Pordand Colt third sacker makes good as a box artist. He has a ter rific fast bail with a natural break, ami has developed a change of pace. Right-hander Poison is a big fellow who looks a little like Al Sothcrn; his arm is not yet right, hut he did very well against the Cubs. South-, pa uurninp is a tali teiiow, given to apeed. and his. wins is still some what mildewed, and only a soothsayer could foretrll whether he is dekttned to become a spring bloomer or a bloom of spring, (if the ten unsea soned cadets trying out for Beaver berths there doesn't seem to be much room for-more than one, Charley Bar nabe, I.os Angeles lad, who pitches and plays first or outfield with equal facility. McCredie will keep him on the payroll for outfield utility pur poses. The other youngsters still in camp are Southpaws Lesher and Leike and Right-hander Johnson, In fielder Honeck and Outfielders Cuyler and Jarvis. Young Johnson of the Multnomah club, Portland, is a good prospect, and Boy McCredie would do well to keep a string tied to him If he farms him out to some minor league.

StftUings of the Boston club offered a right-handed pitcher on option and referred to Sam Agnew as regards the new chap. Sam told Graham that the man In question is a young fellow, larking experience. The Seals are after the sure-shot boys, and Stalllngs was given a reply that the man cannot be used.

Pitchers Cy Cunningham and Renal (Lefty) Coleman, a couple of kids with ambitions, of becoming real Oaks, left the fold today. Man ager Howard and several wise base ball men are satisfied that the pair would not do for the Coast league at the present time. Coleman was with the Oaks a couple of seasons back and looks no better now than he did then. t The disappearance was the occasion of much worriment on the part of the balance of the novices, since .-several are expecting the ax to fall at any time. - Howard gives assurance, however, there will be no more "canning" un til after this coming Sunday, as he intends staging yannigan games dur ing the balance of the week. ..... , PLAYERS BOTHERING ESSICK Vernon Pilot to Begin Season With Patched Lineup. , LOS -ANGELES.

Said Carson has been in Portland for more than a month flashing a lot of speed at the boys, and in his work outs in the gymnasium shapes up as likely looking performer. Carson fooled the "rail birds" yes terday and went out and hired the basement of a church 'or some build ing to do his training in. He was to have fought Fred Gilbert, the Bend Angara (it used to be Bearcat) at the last show staged by the commis sion, but developed an attack of the asthma and was not In shape to go through with the fight. Willis took on Gilbert In Carson's place and won the decision. The other day Carson looked Wal ter Honeyman up and finally located him in a barber shop and asked the possibilities of getting on at the next show. Honeyman could not do any thing for -him-at the time, thinking that Steve Dalton would face Willis.

Morton Is a rugged.' tearinc-ln mixer, and no matter how good Nack t'uggy figures on paper to give him a fight. Neil Zimmerman's opponent has been switched again. First -he was to have met Irving Gleason. Next It was Pink Manerude, and now It will be Jimmy Duffy, the tough Aberdeen leatnerweignt.

UMION GUIDE ADOPTED STANDARDIZED MARKER IS CHOSEN FOR PORTLAND. Oregon Takes Lead in Elimination I of Dangers Caused by t'n- I certain Landing. I Bv the ndontion of, a standardiied aviation field marker, to be placed on every flying field in the state, Oregon has taken the lead In the elimination of one of the greatest perils of air sport an uncertain landing. The marking, recently adopted by the Aero club of Oregon, comprises a circle 800 feet in diameter, the width of the white striD being six feet. Of fered by Oliver K. Jeffery and Pilot .1. D. Hill of the Oregon. Washington & Idaho Airplane company, the sug gestion for standardization met with immediate aDDroval. The Aero club will communicate Its action to the Aero club of America, with the proposal that the field mark ing be adopted nationally and insure similarity throughout the entire country. "Knowing this mark to be stand ard," said Mr. Jeffery, discussing the innovation, "a pilot can descend and light his wheels any place upon the circle, knowing that he will come to a stoD before running out on the other side. "Pilots alighting on a new and un familiar field are always worried about the probable character of the ground, and the distance they may roll before coming to A stop. This standardized marking will eliminate all such anxiety and do much toward insuring safer landings." BETTER HIGHWAY SOUGHT Improvement of Foster Road East of City Proposed.
