wo were going to get through the
seventh inning without a . elop of
some kind, when with two out and
two strikes on the batter, Hgan aud
denly called time. Walking half way
down the first base line, ne motioned
to me for a conference. I wondered
what could be the matter. I hurried
up to where he was standing. ' Here
Is what he said to me.
These athletes have been fooling
the public all afternoon with their
conferences. They have been mak
ing themselves look wise at our ex
pense. Now we will give the publie
a chance to wonder what we are fix
ing up. Where will we eat t'hia eve
ning and what will we haver" I sug
gested a certain place to dine and ex
pressed a preference for a steak. That
was agreeable to Egan. The confer
ence ended and the game was re
sumed. So in the future don't get all
excited when a couple of players or
umpires go Into conference they may
simply . be arranging the evening
menu.

Fred Fulton vs. Jack Thomp
son, heavyweight, ten rounds..
Seml-W Indup.
Oscar Herman vs. Mexican Joe
Lawson, heavyweights, ten
rounds.
Johnny Noye vs. Muff Bronson,
lightweights, six rounds.
Frank Pete vs. Joe Gorman,
featherweights, six rounds.
Kid Meeker vs. Henry Kreiger,
welterweights, four rounds.
Jack Thompson, the colored heavy
weight, who will meet Fred Fulton in
the main event of the Milwaukie box
ing commission smoker tonight, went
through a full session of rope-skipping,
bag-punching, shadow boxing
and stepped seven rounds with his
sparring partners yesterday. The big
Tulsa giant warmed up with Carl
IMartln. a local boy. for three rounds,
and followed this with a stiff four
round workout with Kid Taylor, a
local colored heavyweight.
Thompson appears in the . best of
shape. He tips the scales at 215, a
few pounds lighter than Fulton, and
lacks three inches of being as tall as
his rugged opponent. Thompson re
alizes fully that a good showing
against Fulton would let him in for
nome big money in eastern fight cen
ters. And Fulton realizes he is going
agaist a man who is rated well
towards the front ranks of the present-day
crop of heavyweights. Ful
ton tapered off in his workout yester
day and confined himself to some of
the lighter training stunts.
Mexican Joe Lawson, who will meet
Tiny Oscar Herman in the ten-rtund
semi-windup of the card, is giving
away about 30 pounds to the Astoria
heavyweight, but expects to overcome
this by more ring experience and
greater hitting power.
Muff Bronson, local lightweight, has
a tough nut to crack when he tangles
with Johnny Noye in the six-round
event. Noye has met practically every
every good lightweight in the country
with the exception of Benny Ijeonard.
Another six-round affair between
Joe Gorman and Frank Pete should
be a neat little scrap as both of the
small boys like the mixing best when
it's rough.
Henry Krieger and Kid Meeker will
travel four rounds in the curtain
raiser.
Frankie Murphy, aggressive Denver
welterweight, arrived in Portland
yesterday accompanied by Johnny
Fiske, a 122 pounder of Kock Island.
Illinois. '
Murphy came here for the express
purpose of getting a ten-round bat
tle with Johnny Griffiths, the famous
Akron. O., boy who fights in Seattle
Friday night. Murphy defeated Carl
Macke in Boise, Idaho, last Friday
night and seeing by the papers where
Griffiths might show in Portland
came on through.
Murphy is one of the best known
welterweights in the country and has
two hard fought battles with Bryan
Downey, one of the leading claimants
of the title, to his credit. Murphy
has also met Joe Rivers and fought
Ad Wolgast.
CATCHER ART KOEHLER of the
Beavers boasts the best batting
average of any regular pliayer in the
Pacific Coast league. In seven games
the Beaver backstop knocked off nine
hits for a percentage of .450. This is

Earl Sheeley of the Bees is hitting
.448 for nine games, and Justin Fits

PCPILS
Baseball on the Inside.
By Billy Uvans.
There is a lot of bunk in baseball
like everything else. Much strategy
is exercised on the field, but a lot of
things that appear like real inside
ntuf f. from a set in the stands, i
not always what it seems. Scores of
times during the game, a word of
wisdom to the pitcher, a bit of advice
to the catcher, a shifting of the out
field, the playing in of the infield
may have a direct bearing on the
result of the game. The substitution
of a pinch hitter at a certain stage,
or the derricking of a weakening
pitcher, often cnanges the entire com
plexion of the game. Many a game
is won and lost through some particu
lar move that is ordered by the man
ager.
However, please don't get the im
ptcsston that every time you see i
couple of players get together for i
conference on the ball field they are
spilling pearly words of wisdom to
each other. Usually the chatter la
very light. When you see some catch
er with a reputation for - being: i
brainy receiver walk down to the box
in a pinch and tal things over with
tne pitcner. you invariably make up
your mind that some very'lnteresting
gossip is being disseminated. You
probably have reached the conclusion
that the catcher is telling him just
wnat to pitch and where to pitch it.
hen the shortstop or second base
man walks into the pitcher's box
when the pitcher seems to be slipping,
end they go Into conference with the
. twirler, heads close together, the gen
' eral impression i that some very
deep stuff is on tap. Occasionally the
conference may be over what is the
best policy to pursue. but usually
the chatter borders on the comedy.
"What is your hurry? You have all
tne anernoon. it is too late to go
anywhere now. even if you go to the
showers. Take your time."
mow up, this fellow is nervous.
ji a Ke nim more so. The faster you
pitcn, tne petter ne iikes.lt.
"Is the bail hot? Can't you hold
it? Is that the reason you are work
ing eo fast?"
bay. this fellow never made a base
hit off you in your life. Work care
fully on him and don't give him any
tntng soft.
Such expressions are Just a few of
the many that are slipped to th
pitcher when in distress. At othe
times some fellow will suddenly dis.
cover that both of his shoe laces are
untied. Lsually the main object o
cny conference on the ball field is to
suspend action and thereby give th
pitcher a cTiance lo collect his wit
and right himself. The advice mean
nothing in his life, but a shor
breathing spell is often the means of
caving him. Jn this connection
shall never foi-get an incident that
came up in a game at Washington
several years aco. It involved Jac
L-sran. lormer American league um
pire. who is to manage the Milwaukee
club next year, and myself.
Etran was working the plate. Th
game was being constantly delayed i
Just such a manner as I have de
criberi. It was dragging terribly.
Something seemed to happen every
inning to slow It up. It looked as if

Hockey Team at Antwerp.
ANTWERP. April 20. America's
hockey team, which is entered In the
first big events of the Olympic games
to be held here this spring and sum
mer, arrived today.
"Red" Oldham broke In with the
Detroit ciub Monday, but Cleveland
knocked him out of the box in the
eighth inning.
The San Francisco club seems to be
strengthening and will be a contender
from this time on. Since the opening
of the season Charley Graham has
purchased Dee Walsh, heavy-hitting
third baseman from, the Little Rock
club xf the Southern league; Catcher
Yelle of Detroit and Southpaw Love
of Detroit Some time igo Vernon of
fered Detroit 5000 for Love or "Red'
Oldham so the Seals must have paid
more than $5000 for Love which is
some price for a minor league ball
lub to fork over for a major league
castoff. Love is one of the pitchers
McCredie figured Detroit might send
to him.
If McAuley does not join the Los
Angeles club Killefer may get Pearce
or Friberg from the Chicago Cubs
to fill his niche at shortstop. The
purchase or Zeb Terry by the Cubs
probably means the discard of one of
the two inflelders named.
Seattle has telegraphed the New
York club in an effort to get Hal
Chase released to the Ralniers for
first base duty. Chase is on the coast
and is said to have expressed a desire
to play ball here. According to the
inside dope Chase is one of the three
major leaguers given the secret "gate'
by the magnates because of some in
direct or direct connection with the
gambling element in the east. If this
is true it is hardly likely that the
major league moguls will make any
ove tending to let down the bars
for Chase to play ball on the Pacific
coast.
