FRUIT CROP TO BE SHORT
Juncy, John.-on, Barnabe and
I' feprangcr to Be Carried Until
Player Limit Dale.
BY ROSCOK FAWCETT.
ONTARIO, Cal.. March 23. (Spe
5 rial.) Owing to a leaky roof over
the , clubhouse half of the Portland
, ball club worked out in uniform this
' morning and the other half In clvfea
; Shortly after the noon drill with
' knives and forks rain set in again,
, and yet the stage for another after
' noon of rest and rummy.
Boss Mi-Credie says Mark Twain
may have had the right dope when
he penned "Heaven for Climate. Hell
for Company," but he differs radically
from the New York version. "Cali
fornia for Climate, New York for
Company." McCredie ha8 a whole raft
of company here that is costing some
body about $73 per day to feed and
board but the climate has been cut-!
tine up like a dyspeptic who has just
eaten a box of Mexican enchiladas.
Rain Good for Oranges.
Old Mount Baldy and Mount Cuca
mdnga tower over this little orange
producing valley this afternoon as
white and radiant as they look in the
hotel advertisements. The rain augurs
well for the oranges for it keeps the
boys out of the groves.
Last year Ontario shipped out to
the waiting world $3,000,000 worth of
citrus fruits. Owing to the nocturnal
forays of Messrs. Kingdon, Johnson,
Sutherland et al., the 1920 crop is
going to be about 42.000 oranges short
unless the rainy siege brings out a
lot of new buds. If the predatory
ball athlete had to serve the custom
ary five days for every deciduous
apple plucked from the neighboring
groves, some of them wouldn't see
the glitter of Washington street
the chaste supremacy of Portland
heights until long after Luther Bur
bank had brought forth his new dis
covery of "How to Grow Albilone Cuff
Buttons on a Mulberry Bush."
Fulton Joins Troupe.
Ono new athlete joined the Mc
Credie motionless picture outfit this
morning, a lad named Fulton from
the I-ng Beach high school. Fulton
is an outfielder and was recom
mended to Mack by Capron. the for
mer coast league player. This brings
the percentage of native Californians
in Ontario up to six, while the last
census showed retired eastern capi
talists in the majority with 35 per
cent, bushers next with 23 per cent,
tourists third with 20 and so on.
McCredie a bio recovered sufficiently
from his attack of grape-Juice blues
- to announce that he intended carry
ing four of his youngsters. Juney.
Johnson, Barnabe and Spranger, until
May 15 at least, for the player limit
does not go into effect until that
date. Neither Kallio nor Wisterzil
has reported in camp, these being the
only absentees from the squad. The
I-os Angeles Athletic club and the
Stahl and Dean outfit of Js Angeles
will furnish the attraction locally
next .Saturday and Sunday against the
ii layers.
Some of the local boosters are ar
ranging a big public street dance for
the Portland players one day next
week. In the evening the boys will
be taken out to view a couple of old
missions that are just being built near
.rtiversiae.
ONTARIO. Cal, March 13 (Spe
cial.) Third Baseman Wisterzil re
ported tonight to the Portland club.
McCredie received a wire from Kan
sas City today offering him Infielder
rover in trade for a pitcher but Mc
Credie also is looking for pitchers, so
declined.

GROVES
Restful Day.
LOS ANGELES. CaJ., March 23.
, (Special.) Owing to the sloppy con
; dition of the Washington and Vernon
parks, neither Vernon nor Los An
;jseles exercised their muscles today.
About the only thing which caused
' much excitement at the local orchard
was the appearance of Southpaw
Willie Mitchell with a highly deco
rated eye. He had to explain how he
received it. and said he was riding in
, v "Stubby" Edington"s flivver when the
latter hit a bump and the Tiger star's
head hit the top. He declares that
when he again became conscious his
. eye was blackened.
" Efsick has as yet received no word
1 from the Yankees relative to the two
pitchers he has coming. The hot dope
; Is that Bill Pierey will be one of
- - them, although San Francisco is burn
ing up the wires in an effort to land
; the sterling chucker who starred with
Sacramento last season.
Piercy, who is in Los Angeles, says
he will go to Idaho Falls April 15
unless he has heard definitely from
.Miller Huggins before that time.

BOTES HOT SPRINGS. Cal.. March
, 13. (Special.) Inter-team baseball
..with one squad captained by Bill
: Kumler, playing a division under the
-, guidance of Duke Reilly, was the
piece de resistance at Parramore park
tthia afternoon. Incidentally, the
; Rumlers rumbled through to the tune
j1 of 2 to 1. Hunsacker pitched for the
fRumler outfit, while Rachac a big
- fellow from Montana, made a good
- - impression in the box for the Reillys.
The men picked were as follows:
Rumlers Rumler, Maggart, John
Bon. Bush. Sheely, Leverens, James,
' McHenry and Hunsacker.
. - Reillys Reilly. Worth. Sands. Mul
ligan. Thurston, Byler, Madison, Jen

Johnson hasn't had any action as
yet regarding Catcher Tub Spencer.
The Saints would like to make a deal
, for Spencer to go to some other club,
and figure he could be used to ad-
vantage with one of the southern
teams.

LOS ANGELES. Cal., March 23.
(Special.) Wade Killefer, manager of
the Los Angeles club, announced to
day that he expects three men to join
-his team from two major-league out
fits a week after the opening of the
? season.
Fred Haney, angel infielder, is get

Today is baseball anniversary day
In : Los Angeles. Eighteen long and
weary annums ago- Wade, then but a
mere lad with unshaven, rosy cheeks
and locks of the same bright auburn
hue, rode Into town to play ball. Since
that time he has been in the maiors
ana down again.
It also was the tenth anniversarv
or uoc i inlay as Angel trainer.
OAK YOUAGSTERS SHOW CLASS
Regulars Fight Hard to Take 2 to
1 Game.
OAKLAND, Cal., March 23. (Spe
cial.) The Oakland regulars and yan
nlgans met in their first game of
the season at the Oakland ball park
this afternoon and after nine innings
of hard battling, the regulars were
lucky to finish with the long end of
a 2 to 1 score. Bay Kramer and
George Winn divided the pitching for
the yannigans and they -showed up
pretty good, although each of thera
have a run charged against them.
The yannigans made the regulars
keep on their toes from start to fin
ish and had grand chances to pull the
game out of the fire In the eighth and
ninth innings, - not to overlook the
first inning, when they had the bags
run with nobody out. Manager Pel
Howard elected Lefty Swartz to pitch
tne first five iitnings for the regulars
and he went the distance without a
run being scored off him.
He allowed four hits and fanned
five. His team was leading 1 to 0
when he left the box. That run came
in the fifth, when Louie Guisto led
off with a double and Ginglardi fol
lowed with a single over third ba.se.
The Oaks were out at 10:30 and
stayed on the field until they finished
their game. The yannigans will go
out for revenge tomorrow afternoon
with Helling and1 Gearin as their
pitchers. The Oakland regulars were
scheduled to meet St. Mary's Phoenix
tomorrow but the meeting has been
postponed as the Saints play the Uni
versity of California tomorrow.
KAIXIERS STU)Y ACROXOMY
Bats Traded for Shovels in Practi
cal Farming Lesson.
HANFORD. Cal., March 23. (Spe
cial.) The full personnel of 33 men
in the Seatfle baseball training camp,
including Manager Buzzy Wares,
worked out in uniform today. The
rain Sunday left some work "to be
done on the grounds today before the
practice could begin and the boys
traded bats for shovels and spent a
profitable hour learning the art of
land drainage. The ground was soft
in pots, but the boys enjoyed it and
were faithful in their efforts to clear
the lot for a good hard workout. The
pride of the camp is one of the most
recent arrivals. Naturally this is
Harr- Wolters who batted out four
hits out of five times up a. few hours
after he left the train here to join
the team.
The axe, which Wares in a short
time will begin to swing, is not quite
in shape for use yet because the boss
is rather low in making up his mind
as-to his victims.

B7 CONTRACT TIES
American Promoters Aghast
at Obligations.
DEMPSEY FIGHT UNLIKELY
French Champion Evidently Ent,er
lug- Game for Vaudeville and
Movie Money.
NEW YORK. March 23. The arrival
here today of Georges Carpentier, Eu
ropean heavyweight champion, caused
the proposed match with Jack Demp
sey to flame afresh, but after several
hours of mysterious conferences with
various promoters, there was little
evidence to indicate that the French
pugilist would meet Dempscy in the
near future.
The abandon with which Carpentier
and his manager, Descamps, signed
contracts recently, here and abroad,
stunned American promoters, and left
them in doubt as to the possibility of
bringing Carpentier and Dcmpsey to
gether within the next 12 months.
A close analysis of the situation dis
closed the fact that the Frenchman
was under contract with three dif
ferent promoters which bound him to
perform certain services which are
closely related and which apparently
prevent him from actually boxing
Dempsey for some months, providing
he is so inclined. The English pro
moter, Cochran, has first option on
Carpentier's ring services providing
he can obtain Dempsey s signature
for a match, the option extending to
December 21, according to one report,
and to July 1921, according to another
statement.
Vaudeville Tour Booked.
In addition. Jack Curley, wrestling
promoter, .has Carpentier booked for
a ten-weeks' vaudeville tour begin
ning May 3. with another five weeks'
extension if he desires it. Curley
stated that he expected to tour the
country with the French pugilist, the
latter giving sparring exhibitions
with his own sparring partners.
A third contract with a moving pic
ture concern which nas booked Car
pentier for two seven-reel films in
which he will take the part of a col
lege youth combined with a boxing
role. The possibility of a match with
a French or English heavyweight in
France in August was also mentioned
and local fight followers are puzzled
as to when Carpentier will find time
to box Dempsey.
Manager Descamps, when Inter
viewed through an interpreter, btated
flatly that Carpentier has no inten
tion of engaging to box Dempsey until
the latter's "military affairs" have
been cleared up. A somewhat similar
statement was credited to Jack
Kearns, manager of Dempsey, accord
ing to one of the interested parties.
who said he had received a letter from
Kearns to the effect that Dempsey
would not consider a match of any
description until his name had been
cleared of the draft evasion charge.
Plans All In Air.
Tex Rickard, who was closeted with
Carpentier and his manager for sev
eral hours, was non-committal after
the conference and refused to give
any definite idea of his plans In re
gard to staging a bout between the
French boxer and Dempsey. His only
comment was to the effect that it did
not appear that such a match could
be arranged for the summer or fall.
Notwithstanding the uncertainty
of such a conflict Carpentier was
greeted in impressive fashion and
will be the guest at several semi
public functions the next few days.
Chief among these will be a dinner
given Thursday night by the officers
of the International Sporting club at
which a number of prominent per
sonages will formally welcome Car
pentier to America.
Several important announcements
are expected to be made at the din
ner which will be of great Interest
to followers of sport. The formation
of a league to represent international
sport organizations will probably be
ade public as will a statement from
former champion Jess Willard.
Carpentier is expected to give a
demonstration of his boxing skill.

STIFF BOUT FRIDAY
Clever Eddie Shannon Given
Knowing Approval.
NACK IS TOUTED HIGHLY
Fighters, Anxious to Get in Good
Graces of Northwest Fans,
Promise to Extend SeKcs.
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
Every once in a while a boxer will
blow in ion-n and all of the "eye
witnesses ' will go on record that he is
the niftiest pieco of fighting machin
ery that has ever shown his nom de
plume here, etc. Eddie Shannon, the
clever de luxe lightweight of San
Francisco who will face Freddie
Anderson of Vancouver In the ten
round main event of Friday night's
card at the armory, is there to the
superlative degree. Jack King says
so. Jack Grant says so, and Muff
Bronson will bear them out.
Eddie worked out eight slashing
rounds yesterday and traveled like
a champion. He can hit from every
angle and has some steam behind
his well-aimed wallops. Shannon has
never fought in Portland so is out to
put himself in right. Eddie has met
many of the best men in the busi
ness and thinks nothing of tackling
the Benny Leonards or Johnny Dun-
dees and has met both of the great
iignt weights.
Anderson is in excellent condition
and has taken a good deal of heart
since his showingagainst the highly
touted Joe Benjamin. His followers
are pinning their faith in him and are
backing Freddie to the limit to hold
his own with the fast moving San
Francisco scrapper. Anderson will
be In for a real test if Shannon is in
form, and Eddie looks all of that.
Spotlight I Shared.
The main event Is not drawing all
of the calcium on the bill by far and
many of Ahe fistic fans are looking
forward to the ten-round semi-windup
between Allie Nack of Nw York and
"Puggy" Morton of Los Angeles. Nack
Is not used to fighting anything less
than a main event but his manager.
Charley Swinehart, consented to him
going on against Morton in the semi
windup so as to get a chance to start
Allie in the northwest. Several mem
bers of the Portland boxing commis
sion saw Nack box in California and
are predicting that he will be the big
gest card in this part of the coun
try after Friday night's fight.
Three likely looking bouts com
plete the banner bill. The special
event between Stanley Willis and
"Kid" Carson will go eight rounds in
stead of ten. Willis having been
signed to only travel that distance.
This should mean more action so the
fans are not kicking.
Niel Zimmerman will tangle with
Jimmy Duffy of Aberdeen in a six-
round mill, while Johnny Boscovitch
and Kid Meeker will furnish four
rounds of fireworks in the curtain
raiser. Frankie M a 1 o n e, featherweight
champion of the Pacific coast, and
Danny Edwards, clever little colored
bantamweight of Oakland, arrived
here yesterday to Join Charley Swine
hart's stable of stellar mittmen.
Malone is ready to fight on a min
ute's notice and does not bar any
one weighing up to 133 pounds. Ma
lone will not top over 124 pounds
but says that a little thing like
weight will not keep him from meet
ing even Eddie Shannon, and in fact
he would like to meet the latter if
Eddie beats Freddie Anderson.
SEATTLE CLUB IS BEATEN

TITLE BUTTLE
T
GUARD AND XEWBERG TO
MEET AT McMINNVILLE.
Premier Teams of State, Each With
One Point Victor Against
Other, to Clash.
With the series one all, the title
at stake and the season practically
ended, the state's two premier bas
ketball quintets, the Multnomah
Guards and the Newberg teams' tangle
in the third and deciding contest on
a neutral floor at McMinnville to
night. By reason of the fact that each
team has won by a one-point margin
great interest is attached to tonight's
contest. The previous games were both
played at Newberg resulting in scores
of 28 to 27 in favor of Newberg and
12 to 11 in favor of the guard.
In tonight'a stellar attraction some
ot the greatest independent and col
lege players now in the game will be
seen in action. In Irle, Cole and Darl
ing, Manager Simonsen of the guard
team has one of the strongest defen
sive machines ever seen in the north
west. Irle, a member of two former
champ teams and coach of intcr
scholastic ball, is the idol of Portland
basketball fans and acknowledged the
best defensive plajer in independent
circles. Cole, running guard. i a most
promising youngster. Darling, or
"Spud" as he is beter known, is a
former Oregon Agricultural college
varsity star.
Newberg boasts of a pair of for
wards in Baird and Craw, who are
hard to beat and at center has two
good men in Nelson and Miller. All
have appeared in fast company before
and all put up a snappy contest in
each game. At forward the guard team
has Goode. Dave Wright. Fearnley
and Lewis with Beck and Hill acting
as utility men. Newberg s other po
sitions are filled from the following:
Elliott. Best and Moore. -.
Tonight's game is bitted for 8
o'clock and Coach Hargiss of the
Oregon Agricultural college will ref
eree. The guard players will leave at
3 o'clock front the clubrooms. Cham
ber of Commerce building. The guard
supporters and rooters will leave at
5 o'clock from the saif.e place, some
hundred strong.

Opening Game on Vaughn Street
Grounds Will lie Preceded
by Down-Town Parade.
Seme good baseball will be provided
for Portland fans in advance of the
formal opening of the Coast ieague
by Boss McCredie and his nephew's
aggregation. The games will be on
the Vaughn-street grounds between
such teams a the Multnomah Cuards,
Kirkpatrlcks and Bill Speas' Itegina
club of the Canadian league. Speas
will arrive in town Friday, according
to present plans, to decide on spring

ule of practice contests. Bill Heales
of the Klrkpatricks will confer with
the judge and Speas Kriday, when

The managers plan to precede the
opening game with a downtown pa
rade, in which all the semi-pro teams
will be Invited'to participate.'
Both the Guard and Klrkpatrick
teams have strong material on hand,
each piloted by an "old head" and
each has a strong following.
The Multnomah Guard has issued
a call for a get-together meeting for
Friday night at 8 o'clock in the club
rooms at the Chamber of Commerce
building. The Swift & Co. team held
a meeting in these rooms last night
and perfected organization and elect
ed officials.
Tomorrow night the semi-pro. man
agers of the city and adjacent towns
will gather at the Guard club rooms
for a meeting under the auspices of
the Portland Baseball association. All
independent teams have been invited
to send a representative.
With the purchase of the Buckman
grounds at Fast Twelfth and Davis
streets, the city will have at least two
more diamonds available for semi
pro, and interscholastlc ball. The old
West Fnd grounds also will be put
into shape through the efforts of
Park Ssuperlntenoent Keyser.
With dollar-and-a-quarter horse

each, bat prices going skywards, and
with uniforms and the rest of the out

his "backers" and ask for an "In

kids! Common old, every-day over

hides will be the best they can afford
if price soaring continues.

The U. S. Marine Corps Turns Out "Two
Fisted" Chaps Who Can Use Their
Heads; Gives Plenty of Travel, Adven
ture and Excitement.
Corporal, what are your rlbbona
fort
Tell me what each of 'em meant.
One I got in the Spanish War,
And one in the Philippines.
"One I got In the Boxer brush
For makin' the Chinks be good.
And one for helpin to block th
Boche
In bloody old Belleau Wood.
Corporal. If I should Join your
corps.
O what would It do for me?
You'd learn "to range this wide
world o'er"
By sky and by earth and sea
To he at home In lands that lie
Where the East and West
Worlds meet;
To front the best man. eye to eye.
And stand on your own two feet.
O Corporal, tell tne, straight, what
kind
Of a man the Marina Corps
makes?
The sort of chap you're glaif to And
At your side when a rough house
breaks
The sort of a chap who can crack
a joke
And laugh when the sky looks
black.
The kind who'll share his last lone
smoke
Or give you the shirt off his
back.
Have you ever seen a Marine
winging by, and envied him his
carefree air, the breadth of the
shoulders and the depth of the
cheat under his well-fitting; uni
form? Is it any wonder the glrla
have a soft spot in their hearts
for these "soldiers of the sea"?
That Marine didn't Just happen
to be the husky lad he Is. He is
merely a walking example of
.what the Marine Corps can do for
be ordinarily healthynnan. May
fce when he came into the service
he was a little stoop shouldered,
didn't have much "pep." Maybe
he was working at a Job he didn't
care for. didn't have anybody to
"pal around with."
The Marine Corps Is a body of
men. carefully trained to use both
hands, both feet and their heads.
They are the sort of men who can
take Vera Cruz or form a guard of
honor for the Prinre of Wales, and
do both jobs shipshape. They are
Mood brothers to the French For
eign Legion, the Pennsylvania
State Constabulary, the Canadian
Mounted Police and the Texas
iangers. They are princes of good
'ellows, and they're wildcats when
hey're riled. i

Ko man does his beat work un
less he likes his Job. And no man
can do good work without plenty
of recreation. It Is upon thes
two principles that Alarm Corps
training is based.
The Marine must he something;
of a sailor and everything of a sol
dier. So he is alwaya learning;
something new and Intensely In
teresting. In addition to taking
on quite a bit of seamanship, he
learns to hike like an Infantryman,
ride like a cavalryman and hanrila
guns like an artilleryman. Ha
knows something of wireless
telegraphy and mechanics.
In fact, when he comes out of
the Marine Corps there are al
sorts ot big-paying civilian Jobs
that are waiting for a man who
ran do so many different kinds of
things and do them well.
To keep a man tit there Is noth
ing like athletic sports, and all
Marines are encouraged to go In
for boxing, football, baseball and
swimming. Competent roaches and
trainers are provided and every fa
cility for a man to Indulge In the
form ot sport that moat appeals to
him.
Good Fellowship of the Corps
A life of travel, adventure and
outdoor work would naturally at
tract the man who has the mak
ings of a "good fellow" In htm.
And nowhere do you And mora
"good fellows" than in the Marina
Corps. If ever you have seen a
bunch of Marines in their off
hours in barracks, or out for a
time In any of our large cities, or
sightseeing in foreign porta, there
Is no,-need to tell you anything
about that side of a Marine's exist
ence. And as for his chances of seeing
the world there is hardly a coun
try on earth where Marinea are
not stationed at present. They are
In Haiti and the Philippines. They
are in London, Tarls and in China.
No big warship sets sail far for
eign ports without detachment
of Marines aboard.
