Abbreviated Practice Period, How-

." ONTARIO. Cal March 2. (Spe-
',; clal.) Southern California has had
j more than 16 Inchea of rainfall since
l the Harvard-Oregon football game,
.', and bath water la still coming at th!
. : rate of nearly two inchea a day. Mc
" j Credie wishes now that he had
- brought his hip boots along. He is
, afraid If he (rets wet on certain por
' tions of the anatomy adjacent to the
: hips, some of the splinters, absorbed
' ' during his sojourn on the Ontario
4 benches, may begin sprouting euca
' Jyptus bushes. The eucalyptus Is a
' very prolific bush, growing eight
" -, end nine feet in a few days, and Mc
Credie figures It might be unbecom
'"' ing to have a nine-foot gum tree
, . trailing along behind him like a St
. Bernard's tail. Wet and drear weath-
't er kept the boys In the hotel lobby
this morning, and Interrupted the
afternoon practice after the Fort-
-"' land athletes had been out long
' enough to "crock" up two of them
. through injuries.
"-. Wes Kingdon and Fred Libke were
the unfortunate casualties. Libke
?', went down and out with a sprained
. ankle caused by stubbing his toe on
.j a. rock while chasing a fly ball.
; ''! Kingdon Hit on Month.
' Kingdon's accident was minor a
.' grounder took a bad hop and caught
The Los Angeles shortstop squarely on
the mouth. Kingdon looked tonight
" " as if he might have tried to commit
V I suicide by drinking Iodine, as his lips
were badly swollen and discolored.
. The abbreviated practice session
this afternoon gave the players an
' opportunity to unlimber, and Trainer
. i Tom Howell declares that every man
: will be (ready when the season opens
. at Salt Lake April .
i .! In fact, Howell thinks the weather
'i man is being good to Portland's play
'.VJ ers by acclimating them to Salt Lake.
. Howell Is the same person who
communed with the spirits. Yogis
. Swamis or Mahatmas of the east one
" ' time about 20 years ago, and told
Walter McCredie that a certain 30-
' to-1 shot would win the suburban
- handicap. At that time Howell was
, waiting on table in a southern hotel
' i where McCredie was training with
Brooklyn.
j McCredie Itemoana III I.nrK,
- The horse won. and McCredie Is
still bemoaning his 111 luck In not lay-
i lng a two-bit piece on Howell's
hunch. He says ouija is hour
i geoise alongside the hunches of his
battle-scarred trainer.
j The owners of the Kansnb City ball
club evidently had heard of the damp
' j nees out here and thought some of It
I had soaked through and mildewed
McCredie's brain. This afternoon the
Western Union boy walked In on his
. crutches and handed the Portland
manager a telegram from Kansas
City offering him Infielder Grover
i and $500 for Outfielder Walker and
. Pitcher Jones.
j Inasmuch as this would be akin to
J eelltng Jones for a plush-lined Swiss
. i watch or a bowling ball. McCredie
j didn't bite.
.-j Peoria (III.) also telegraphed a bid
'j on Walker and Jones. McCredie may
' attempt to place Infielder Honock
, i with Peoria, which is In a class B
league. Mack has several "bites" for
Walker, but hasn't decided which
', offer to accept Carroll Jones arm is
In such fine condition that there isn't
i a chance of him being sold or traded.
Jones had a couple of bad teeth ex-
atracted during the winter and at-
v tributes his lameness of last fall
to the fact that It hadn't been done
' . sooner.
-v Baker Out for Afternoon.
, Baker was out this afternoon after
taking laughing gas and having an
' Infected wisdom tooth removed. He
flitted around like a seagull after a
torpedoed whale, showing what the
' loss of surplus weight will do by way
ix of speeding up an athlete.
Harold Poison, the husky right
hander who came back from San An
tonio, will attempt to pitch the entire
nine innings tomorrow against the
fast team representing the Los An
geles Athletic club. Portland will
play two games Sunday, the regulars
here against Stahl and Dean and the
yannigans at Colton.
The big street dance has been set
for next Thursday and will be pre
ceded by a double-header In which
the Beavers will be sent against come
fast semi-pro aggregation.
No further releases were handed
out today, and it is not expected that
the secretary of the gate with the
greased hinges will have anything to
do. until Sunday night or blue Mon
day. WET FIEIJ HALTS AXGELS
Came Scheduled With Chicago Na

LOS ANGELES, March 26. (Spe
cial.) Wet grounds forced Los An
geles to call off the scheduled game
with the Chicago National league club
at Washington park this afternoon.
Vernon is billed to meet the Cubs to
morrow, with the Angels getting an
other try Sunday, when a double-
header may be staged.
Shortstop Jimmy McAuley has not
vet come to terms, and it begins to
look as If Wade Killifer will have
to look to the majors for a short
fielder.
"1 don t care whether I get a man
for this place before the season starts
or not." said Killifer today. "My
pitching staff will hold me up.
When the fiery-domed pilot made
this remark he said a whole mouthful,

Claude Thomas, Paul Fittery and Nick

Vernon Held Not as Strong as
When It Beat St. Paul.
LOS ANGELES. CaL, March 25.
(Special.) With rain causing the
toys to knock off here today. Essick.
leader of the Vernon club, admitted
that the Bengals will face the sea
son a bit weaker than they were last
fall when the SL Paul club waa beaten
for the minor league title.
"It is impossible to replace, a fel
low like Bobby Meusel." he explained.
"The only way you can do it is to
develop a youngster, and they come
like Meusel once in a decade. 'Red'
Smith will do a lot of long-range hit
ting for us, but he won't be on the
bases as often aa Meusel was.

TWO SEALS IX HOSPITAL
Neither Seaton Nor Agneiv Are
Able to Play Jus-t Now.
STOCKTON. Cal.. March 26. (Spe
cial.) Two Seal stars are on the hos
pital list today. Sam Agncw was
operated on at a local hospital and
a small piece of flint, which was Im
bedded deep in his left hand, between
the first and second knuckles, was
cut ouL It was doubtful if ho would
be able to catch in the series with the
Chicago Cubs.
Sam had no idea how the flint got
into his hand, for he does not remem
ber having been hurt. The doctors
were of the opinion that the foreign
substance had been in the hand for
years, for it was covered with car
tilage. It was rubbing against the
knuckle hone, and that was what
caused the pain.
Tom Seaton was pitching to the
baiters this morning when Joe Dooley
hit a long drive back of him. and the
ball struck him on the right ankle.
He limped off the field and was taken
under the care of Dr. Carroll. He
will be all right in a few days and
will pitch at least one of the games
against the Cubs.
In the practice game today the yan
nigans and regulars played a 3-3 tie.
Joe Connolly and Jim O'Donnell did
some nice hitting. Casey Smith
pitched the whole game for the yan
nigans. He will pitch Tuesday
against the Chicago Cubs.
Sheely's Team Beats Bylcr's.
BOTES HOT SPRING. Cal.. March
26. (Special.) Sheely's Swells beat
Byler's Braves in the home club prac
tice game this afternoon, the session
going six Innings. Stroud worked for
the winners, while Bromley did the

caught Stroud, while Byler back
stopped for his home team. Elmer
Ricger reported and was in uniform.
There will be another practice game
Saturday, with a contest In Santa
Rosa on Sunday.

BAKER. Or., March 26. (Special.)
With the advent of spring weather
and sunshine, minds of the majority
turn to baseball talk, and throughout
the country teams and leagues are
being organized. It is a recognized
fact that Baker is a good ball town,
but it appears to be out of the ques
tion to reorganize the old Western
Tri-State league.
However, Pendleton, La Grande,
Walla Walla, Huntington and On
tario, as well as Baker, all have posts
of the American Legion, and in each
post there Is much good material.
Therefore, local fans and players are
doing all they can to arouse enthu
slasm in the plan of organizing teams
of ex-service men. The league. If
formed, will be called the Eastern-
Oregon American Legion league.

FULTON IS Oil Wy
10 BATTLE SMITH
Minnesota Scrapper Is Due to
Arrive Here Today.
BOUT IS FINALLY SIGNED
Matchmaker Kendall Announces
He Has Arranged Main Event
for Mllwaukie Fight.
Fred Fulton, the Minnesota heavy
weight, left Seattle for Portland last
night immediately after his bout with
Young Hector and will arrive here
this afternoon to begin trainingor a
ten-round go igainst Gunooat &mun
in the main event of the April 7 card
at the Milwaukie arena.
Matchmaker Kendall announced
last night that he had come to terms
with Smith.
Smith is in Oakland, where he has
been winning with regularity. It was
just a month ago that Smith beat
Willie Meehan so badly that the bout
was stamped as no contest by the
fight scribes.
Hugh walker, the promising young
Kansas City heavyweight, who put
ud such a great bout at the Mllwaukie
arena on the last card, will take on
Frank Farmer of Tacoma in the sec
ond ten-round go on the Milwaukie
programme. Against a slugger Farm
er goes like a champion. He and
Walker should put on as good a
heavyweight mill as any ever staged
here.
Joe Gorman will tangle witn eitner
Muff Bronson, Tommy Barone or
Frankie Malone in an eight or six
round bout and Billy Masoott will
take on either Tommy Manse!, Danny
Edwards or Sammy Gordon in another
eight or six-round bout.
m
Johnny Trambitas, a younger broth
er of Alex and Valley Trambitas, left
several days ago for San Francisco to
join his brothers and take a fling
at the fistic game In California.
Johnny is about 15 or 16 years old
and has had three professional bouts.
one in Astoria, one in Medford and the
other in Seattle.
He was stopped in two rounds by
Bud Ridley in Seatle last year, but
was then a novice and should never
have been sent in against Bud. He
has been training for nearly six
months and, with his added boxing
knowledge, will be able to make a
better start.
George Brandon Is pining for a
battle and wants to know why the
matchmakers will ,not give him a
chance. There are few boys in the
ring who put up a better scrap than
George, and he has shown his ability
to hold many of the featherweights
to a standstill.
The Portland boxing commission
may decide to hold a card every Fri
day night as Boon as a permanent
arena Is obtained. The plan would
be to stage a card of 38 or 40 rounds
of milling between the best boys on
the Pacific coast on every bill and
try to line up better matches Instead
of featuring a big name on top. Of
course occasionally the topnotchcrs
would be brought here for a main go.

lege life." but It Is extremely
doubtful If any of our institutions
of learning afford more opportu

reliance, alertness snd qualities of
leadership which military training
affords.
