EIGHT PLAYERS COME HERE
KJepper, in Telegram, Says Men All
Named Who Will Be Turned
Over to Portland.
Herman Pillette and Sylvester John
son, the ace performers of the Fort
land pitching staff last season, have
been sold to Detroit of the American
league In a deal that Is to bring eight
players here for the 1922 Beavet team,
besides a certain amount of cash.
Official confirmation of the deal,
one of the biggest made In the Pa
tlflc coast league since Johnny Mitch
ell was sold by Vernon to the New
Vork Yanks a year ago for seven
players, came Tast night In the fol
lowing telegram to The Oregonlan
from William H. Klepper, president
of the Portland club, who Is attend
ing the minor league meeting at
Buffalo:
"Sporting Editor The Oregonlan
Closed $75,000 deal this afternoon with
Detroit club for Pitchers Pillette and
Johnson. We are to receive eight
hlgh-clacs players and cash. I con
alder this one of the .greatest, deals
ever made by a minor league club,
including as many players and the
cash it does.
Player All .Named.
"The players are al' named but wil!
not be announced until all waivers
have been obtained. There 's no
question but that we will get the
players agreed upon.
"I am sure that by the time I have
finished here I will have a first dlvi
aion club, which is what 1 am work
ing for to put Portland on the bait
ball map.
"This Is a very busy meeting. Judge
Dandle Is to speak tonight at the ban
quet. I very probably will have to
stay over and attend the major league
meeting in New York next week In
order to complete all my deals, .as I
have others under way besides this
one. Have not yet fully decided on
my manager, but expect to announce
that soon. W. H. KLEPPER."
Clultn Make Offers.
All of which looks decidedly like
business. It will stun Portland some
what that this deal should be made
r.'lth Detroit, which has been so no
torious In the past for giving minor
league clubs the worst of it. But if
the players who are to come to Port
land have all been definitely named,
as Mr. Klepper says, that ought to
prvent a double cross.
Fourteen maji league clubs have
made offers for Herman Pillette and
half a dozen others have been after
Johnson, who is considered by many
baseball men to have the greater fu
ture of the two. Pillette Is 26 years
old .Johnson only 20.
Neither Pillette nor Johnson had
pitching records this last season that
look impressive on the books, but
they both pitched above the wln-and-losa
record of their club. For another
thing they were the hardest-worked
pair of hurlers in the Pacific const
league. Many of the losses charged
to each were games In which they re
lieved other hurlers Juat long enough
to take a beating In one Inning and
get an official defeat.
HUattCa Average .310.
The Beavers last season won 51) and
lost 134 games for a percentagt of
.277. Pillette won 13 and lost 29
games for a pitching average of .310.
He was responsible for 162 runs.
Johnson won 11 and lost 27 games
for a pitching record of .289. He was
responsible for 123 runs.
Pillette joined the Portland club in
the fall of 1920. coming here from
Bill Speas' Reglna club in the west
ern Canada league, where he had a
whale of a year. He has been a slow
starter In every league In which he
ever worked and last year was no
exception, for he lost eight straight
games before he won one. But along
in June, July and August he was the
mainstay of the Beavers. Toward
the end of the season the great
amount of work he had to do in
the box began to tell on him.
Pillette is a Portlander and pitched
In leagues around here for several
seasons before he made his mark
professionally. Bill Speas is the man
ager who really developed and made
big-league materials of him.
Johnson Portland Boy.
Johnson is a Portland boy who
first broke Into pitching circles on
the baseball team of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club. He joined the
Beavers In the spring of 1920. but
was sent to Vancouver In the North
west league for seasoning. He re
turned last fall and pitched fine ball.
Early this season he was the only
Beaver pitcher able to hold his own,
and the only one who could break
the long losing streak with which
Portland opened the season.
At the end of the year Johnson
was Just finding his proper stride.
In the very last game rf the season
here he had so much stuff that after
having been worked out of turn time
and again In the final two weeks
players of the Los Angeles club de
clared he had more than any pitcher
in the league
Walter McCredle. who developed
Johnson, has always had the greatest
faith in the youngster. At the end
of the season McCredle declared that
within four years Johnson would be
one of the six greatest pitchers In
taseball.
It's a peculiar thing that Bill
Klepper. who makes the present deal,
last September gave out an Interview
in which he declared that McCredle
cculd sell Pillette ana Johnson for
$50,000. Now he puts over the Oeal
himself and gets the equivalent of
$75,000 in cash and players.

BY WILLIAM UNMACK.
Polo Is attracting more Interest on
the Pacific coast than in any pre

series plaved at the Panama-Pacific
exposition In 1915. For the first time,
Inter-collegiate competition will be
held when the Stanford university

With Oregon Agricultural college and
Stanford definitely in competition and
the possibility that the University of
California may enter the game, polo
tats see the development of an en
tirely new set of players for the

have been recruited from the training
corps, and the students at both Ore

Another feature which insures the
future of college polo Is the fact that
the Stanford board of athletic control
has officially recognized the sport
and has appropriated a large sum for
building two polo fields on the Stan

ABOUT PASADENA EVENT.
Rumors, Invitations, Rejections,
Conditional Acceptances Many
Regarding Grid Contest.
PASADENA. Cal., Dec 7. Out of a
confused mass of rumors and counter
rumors, invitations and rejections,
conditional acceptances and partial
refusals, just one fact stood forth
complete tonight with reference to
the participants in the annual east
versuB west football game featured
ty the Tournament-of Rosea associa
tion for new years day. That fact
was that nobody could say what was
going to happen.
The University of California, asked
to represent the west, still emulated
the sphinx In the matter of conversa
tion. The University of Southern
California, looked on as the likeliest
alternate if California decided not to
play, announced that It would not fill
the breach because, It was' explained,
the athletic authorities felt they were
bound by too many ties to .act with
their sister school in' the north.
Washington and Jefferson, asked to
represent the east, still remained in
line to play, but Its representatives
here admitted that the delay In
finally naming an opponen. and the
general uncertainty about the west
ern situation, were causing them so
much annoyance that they might
withdraw their earlier acceptance.
Negotiations with other schools were
said to have been dropped, but alumni
of one or two of them were mys
teriously active here and In Los
Angeles today.
"There will be a game; it will be
a good game," was the extent of the
official information frfem the foot
ball committee.

WINTER BASEBALL FAILS
,
VIVTillE COSTS PROMOTERS
ABOUT $10,000.
Fans Get Fill of Game During Reg
ular Summer Seuson and Re
ceipts Are Too Small to Pay.
BY FRANKLIN B. MORSE.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 7. (Spe
cial.) One thing Is certain there
will be no more attempts In Cali
fornia to put over a winter baseball
league. The present season has
proved the futility of that scheme,
and It has cost the promoters of the
venture about $40,000 to find it out.
The crowds expected to attend never
appeared. Not even the lure of the
names of the big league stars like Ty
Cobb, Sisler, Heilman and Hornsby
could separate the fans from their
dollars. In consequence the games
have been attended by mere corpo
ral's guards In quite a literal sense.
The slim receipts have hardly paid
the salaries of the stars mentioned.
Each of theae four players receivea
$10,000 for the ten weeks of play.
The other boys playing in the league
dub along on $250 per month.
Strangely enough, rainy days have
cut down the promoters' losses. They
had the foresight to insure against
the weather, with the result that
San Franciaco alone has depleted one
Insurance company's bank account to
the extent of $24,000. A premium of
$8500 was paid for a maximum of
$220,000 of insurance.
It must be said that high-class
baseball has been delivered for the
delectation of empty seats. The fact
seems to be that the fans get all
the baseball they want in the regular
season, which is longer on the coaat
than anywhere else in the United
States. That they might be "fed up"
on the national game never seemed to
occur to the managera.
Ty Cobb haa been leading the bat
ters through most of the season. In
the last few weeks he has fallen
away, which leads to the question
whether a player alao may not get
too much of the game. Cobb Flatted
as high as .473 in the fourth week of
play. Since then he dropped to less
than .380 and then improved to .399.
The other high hitters have been
Hornsby .389, Sawyer .377. Heilman
.374 and Sisler .368.
There can be no question that foot
ball has been one reason for the non
success of jthe winter baseball league.
The great fall intercollegiate aport
reached the high mark of its popu
larity on the Pacific coast, and public
interest became focussed on the grid
iron contesta.
Texas College Still Hopeful.
DALLAS, Tex., Dec 7. Hope is
still expressed by football enthusiasts
here that the proposed football game
between Texas A. and M. college and
Washington and Jefferson college
may be played here January 2. as pre
viously announced. Athletic authori
ties of the eastern college are quoted
aB saying no such game has been
scheduled and that their team will
play the University of California at
Pasadena on that date.

DRAFT CHANGES WANTED
Commissioner Says It Is Not Well
to Retard Advancement of
Any Player.
BUFFALO, N. Y.. Dec. 7. Organised
baseball is still on trial and will con
tinue on trial as long the game ia
played. Judge Landls told the minor
and major league owners and players
tonight at the annual' banquet of the
National Association of Professional
Baseball leagues.
He praised the spirit in which all
branches of the game had accepted his
decisions and urged the elimination
from organized baseball of some of
the things which, he said, still hold
the possibility of causing discord and
bringing public censure upon the
game.
The optional agreement, the waiver
rule and what rema4ns of the draft, he
said, had not worked out the way he
had hoped and expected.
Evils in Draft.
"If I had understood one year ago,"
he said, "when we met In New York
and went through these rules, what
their practical operation was going
to be, I would have called together
again the gentlemen of the majors
and the National association for one
more conference on the draft ques
tion." Referring particularly to the draft
or the "selective clause," he said:
"I have no interest in what the
price is going to be. but I have an in
terest In inserting in the fundamental
law of baseball a provision that will
take these evils out of It. It can
not be a good thing for a thing call
ing itseM a sport that It is within the
power of any individuals to place a
stone wall in front of the advance
ment of ball players.
"I want you gentlemen to go to the
foundation of this question and re
examine this question to see if you
cannot figure out a way to compose
this thing and eliminate your differ
ences and get out of the situation this
thing that some day wltl surely rise
to plague you."
975,1)00 Paid for O'Connell.
This afternoon Judge Landls looked
in on the minora in executive aession
and received a cordial reception.
Later he met Colonel J. C. Ruppert
of the New York Yankeea. It was
their first meeting since the commis
sioner fined Babe Ruth. Bob Meusel
and Bill 1'lercy and ruled them out
of the game until May 20 for playing
exhibition baseball after the world
series. Ruppert said that the cases
of the three were not discussed. He
added that the Yankeea would train
in New Orleans next spring.
Manager McGraw announced today
that the Giants had paid the San
Francisco team 7M the Pacific Coaat
lcague'$75.000 for the' 20-year-old firat
sacker and fielder. James O'Connell.
The business session of the minors
was occupied chiefly wtth routine.
In addition to the appointment of a
committee to attend the Joint session
of majors to be held in New York and
ask for an abrogation of what is
known as the compensation clause of
the minor-major agreement, approval
was given to the manner oT choosing
the new board of arbitration of the
national association. The board this
year consisted of ten members. Under
the new plan there would be only
seven members two from class AA
two from class A and one each from
classes B, C and D.
Player Draws Big Sum.
Considerable time was taken up
with the question of the eight play
ers optional rulinr, which gives the
majors the power to hold under op
tion players other than thOBe on their
official roster. No action was taken.
The price paid for O'Connell was
said to be the highest figure evar
given for a player taken from minor
league company. O'Connell will play
with the San Francisco team next
season. Joining the Glanta in 1923.
O'CONNELL UNIVERSITY MAN
San Francisco Gets Youth From
Santa Clara Two Years Ago.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 7. James
O'Connell came to the San Francisco
baseball club from Santa Clara uni
versity two years ago as an out
fielder. He played his first .season
in the outfield and was used this
season at first base. O'Connell, who
is 20 years of age, hit over .300 in
both 1920 and 1921.
O'Connell was recommended to
Manager McGraw of the Giants by
William Lange, ex-major league star,
during the 1921 spring training.
Lange la said to have tendered a
blank check signed by McGraw to
Charles Graham of the San Francisco
clurb, and to have told Graham to fill
in his own figure for O'Connell.
Graham decided, however, to wait
until the season was over.
O'Connell hit three home runs In
one series with Seattle at Seattle
this year. His home is in Sacramento.
PURCHASE BREAKS RECORDS
O'Connell Most Sought Player In
Minor Leagues.
NEW YORK. Dec. 7. Joseph O'Brien,
secretary of the New York National
league club, confirmed the purchase
of O'Connell here this afternoon, after
a telephone conversation with Presi
dent Stoneham and Vice-President Mc
Graw in Buffalo.
In paying $75,000 for the sensational
California first baseman and out
fielder, the Giants broke all records
in the matter of price for min."r
league stars. The absence of draft
ing privileges by which major league
cluba formerly aecured the pick of the
minor-league players at the close of
the season la In part responsible for
the new record price. O'Connell was
the moat sought player in the minor

Intercollegiate Contests.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. Dec. 7. -(Special.)
The senior football team won the col
lege championship by defeating the
freshman squad by a 6-to-0 score
Tuesday evening. The freshmen pre
viously had un from the sophomore
team and the seniors from the juniors.
The game between the seniors and
Juniors was won by a pass intercepted
by Thomas McCain, who ran 40 yards
for a touchdown. The freshman
sophomore game was one thrill after
another. The game was played on a
wet and muddy field with neither
team able to make yardage through
the opposing line. The sophomores
had the break of the game until near
the last, when the ball was in tlx
sophomores' possession , on the fresh
men's one-yard line. The sophomores
fumbled and Drew of the freshmen
picked up the ball and ran 96 yards
for a touchdown.
The vocational class are now de
termined that they will be represent
ed in the inter-class football scrap
and have challenged the seniors to a
game. This is the first time for years
that the class winners have played a
vocational team.
The different achoola and depart

ising teams and will start a schedule
during the season. The schools of for
estry., mines, agriculture, commerce
civil engineering and some of the de
