With ten straight victories and no

only It does not drop those two games
to Idaho.
The Vikings have two games yet
te plav with the Oregon AiM and
two w'th Idaho. Tha Agg.es are out
of the race In any event. Idaho's sole
chance Is to win both the games with
Washington. Idaho Is tied now with
Washington, but has played only four
conference a-ames to the Vikings' ten.
Consequently all Washington need do
is to win one of the two clashes to
retain the lead on percentage.

ANT new faces will be seen this
coming season in Pacific Coast
league pitching circles. Every
club In the league but Sacramento
has added hurlers of reputation to its
staff. Some of them, like Hod Eiler
of Cincinnati world series and "shine
ball" fame, were big figures In the
major leagues not many seasons ago.
Eller will pitch for Oakland. Un
like most big leaguers who come
back to the minors, the burly Hod is
by no means a used-up old-timer. He
is still comparatively a young fellow
with plenty of stuff on the ball. For
two seasons, however, he has been
suffering from grief and shell shock
over the action of the rule makers in
I abolishing his shine ball.
i-ier specialised on that ball and
made it his hobby and chief reliance,
just aa Strangler Lewis specialised on
the headlock in wrestling. When the
shine bail waa ruled out Eiler
couldn't find his bearings. Maybe he
will come to himself out here and, if
he does, be Is almost a certainty to
return later to the big show.
Seattle has two pitchers that every
body will want to see. One of them
is Yean Gregg, who ranks as one of
the great southpaw pitchers of ail
time. Gregg was Just as much a sen
sation in the American league as he
was with Portland in the Coast
league back In 1919. when he estab
lished a league strikeout record that
has stood to this day and helped win
the first of a series of four pennants
in five years for the B, avers.
The big question In Gregg's case, of
course, is whether he can come back
with his old stuff after having been
out of league baseball for several
years. If he had not pitched In the
interim, it is hardly likely that he
could come back. Hut when Gregg re
tired from the majors to go ranching
In Canada he didn't quit pitching. He
has been exercising his salary wing
every summer since then wtih Canada
bush teams and he says, and so do
players who have tried to bat against
him. that he Is just as good as he ever
was.
Walter McCredie. who induced
Gregg to sign with Seattle, is confi
dent that, he will be the bum old
winner. All over the circuit, espe
cially In the California towns,
Gregg's comeback is taken very seri
ously. They remember him particu
larly in San Francisco for his won
derful work In 1910, and when he
pitches there all the bugs will be out
to see him work.
"Gregg Is so earnest in his come
back that he has asked me to send
him to Boyes Springs ahead of all
the pitchers," said Walter McCredie
the other day. "I expect him here

he went to the
Seattle also will have another
pitcher of national prominence in
Jim Shaw, a big right-hander from
Washington. Shaw was one of the
best winners In the American league
until he hurt his knee. That ruined
his ef fectiveness. If his knee doesn't
heal Seattle is protected in the deal
by having until May 15 to turn him
back to Washington. But McCredie
is confident that Doc Spencer of Los
Angeles, who has become famous
among ball players as a bonesetter.

as good as new. With his knee right
there is no question about his pitch
ing effectiveness. Shaw has the
stuff and what is more, knows how
to use It.
Seattle will present a new left
hander to the league in Berger,

the. recommendation of Billy Speas.

The Portland pitching staff will
be made up almost entirely of new
faces, or at least of new faces in
Portland, though several of the pitch
ers have played with other clubs of
the Coast league. The ace of the
staff from present Indications will be
Middleton. procured from Detroit in
the Johnson-Pillette deal, which also
brings Vernon Parks here.
Middleton was a Tiger regular last
season and is considered a smart
pitcher. Vernon Parks will be new

University of Michigan.
Suds Sutherland will not be new,
for Suds was the best hurler on the
staff in 1920 and a big winner in
ll. Roy Crumpler, southpaw, will
be new here, though he pitched for
San Francisco last year. Lefty
Leverenz also will be making his
debut in a Portland uniform, but can
hardly be called a stranger to the
league, inasmuch as he has pitched
for about every club In it at one
time or another. The popular im
pression is that Leverenz is on the
shady side of 70, but Bill Klepper
swears he has seen in the Leverenz
family bible the record of Lefty's
birth, and that it happened only 31
years ago.
Then there will be young Buck
Freeman, a collegian who worked a
few games with the Philadelphia
Athletics. The only holdovers on the
staff are Sam Ross and Ralph Cole
man, unless one or two of the 1921
recruits come through.
Besides Hod Eller, the Oakland
club will have Herb Brenton, switched
from Seattle by Cincinnati in part
payment for Third Baseman PinellL
Those two are the only new hurlers
with the Oaks, except for some
bushers.
Los Angeles will have three strange
faces in York, a left-hander from the
Chicago Cubs, Wallace from Victoria
and Ponder frotn the Cubs. Ponder
Is considered a whale of a pitcher.
He cost the Cubs a big sum when
they bought him from Pittsburg last
season. York is the young southpaw
Portland was supposed to get from
the Cubs last spring, but didn't The
Cubs were so short of pitching ma
terial that they used York as a reg
ular In 1921, but probably they figure
that he needs another season in the
minors.
Bill Esslck will present Bill James,
the big fellow with the dazzling
speed who was with Portland years
ago. Since then he has been with
about every club in the majors and
quite a few in the minors. Also with
the Tigers will be Gilder of Grand
Rapids, and Doyle of Joplln and
Atlanta.
Sacramento is standing pat on "last
year's lineup. In the box as well as
in the infield and outfield, but San
Francisco has several hurlers new
to that town. The list includes
Coumbe, a southpaw from Cincinnati,
who has been in the big leagues a
good many seasons; Alten, a left
hander with Oakland last year, and
Bob Geary, who went from Seattle to
Cincinnati only to be rushed back
to the Coast league in part payment
for Caveney and Johnny Couch.
Not much is definite yet about the
Salt Lake Bees, but it is quite likely
that one of the men on their pitching
staff will be Winn Noyes. an ex
Portland flinger who went from here
to the Philadelphia Athletics. Noyes
enlisted in the army during the war.
but has been pitching for Utah and
Idaho buBh clubs since 1919. He

CHEST TO REAP PROFITS
Fighters to Get What Contracts
Called For, With Net Pro
ceeds Going to Charity.
Tha fact that the boxing show to
morrow night at the armory has been
turned into a benefit lor ins com
munity chest doesn't mean that the
boys appearing on the card will ease
up on each other. Benefit shows
sometimes mean exhibition bouts,
but the fighters on Tuesday night's
card will get the same percentage of
the gate receipts as their contracts
called for before it wm decided to
give the proceeds to the chest.
Throush an arrangement with Al
Kader of the Mystic Shrine, the prof
its of the show will be turned over
to the community chest Instead oi to
the Shrine in payment of an old debt.
Card Besneaki Action,
From the curtain-raiser to the
main event the card looks like one
of action. Eddie Pinkman ana joe
Welling are to meet in the main
event. The question is whether Pink
man, with his powerful right hand,
can do something that practically
every other lightweight in the coun
try has failed to do that is, stop the
Chicago battler.
Champion Benny Leonard is cred
ited with a knockout over Welling In
14 rounds, but the Chicagoan even
then didn't take the full count. He
was on his feet when the fight was
stopped.
1 made just two mistakes in that
fight with Leonard," said Welling
yesterday. "The first was in the fifth
round. If I hadn't been a little over
anxious then I might have planted a
K. O. on the champions chin. I
caught him with a left Jab at the
start of the fifth and followed it with
another left. Then I shot In a right
to the chin and the champion fell on
the ropes.
Mistake Made In Thirteenth.
"Instead of measuring him right
then and there I rushed in and he
closed with me in a clinch which
gave him a chance to clear his head.
"My other mistake was in the 13th.
The fight had been about even for
the first 12 rounds. In the 13th
fell short with a left lead and left
an opening for Leonard to step in and
crash me. I was knocked down three
times in that round. The first two
times I did not take a count, but the
third time I stayed down for a count
of six. He caught me again in the
next session and this time I took a
count of seven. The ringside fans
began shouting to stop tha fight, and
the referee stepped In -and raised
Benny's hand. I was on my feet at
the time and could have weathered
the storm."
Welling has fought Johnny Dundee,
Junior lightweight champion, eight
times, winning seven of the fights.
Dundee beat Joe Benjamin in New
York Friday night, getting the deci
sion at the end of 15 rounds. Welling
also has fought Benjamin twice. He
lost a newspaper decision in the first
bout, but in the second contest he
gave Benjamin a neat lacing.
Good Lightweights Fought.
Welling has fought every good
lightweight in the country, except
Charley White and Willie Jackson.
He has tried several times to get
White in the ring, but the latter has
always backed out. When a Welling
Jackson fight ia suggested Jakcson
always insists that Welling make 130
pounds or less before he will fight
him. Welling was down to 133 pounds
yesterday, but he will enter the ring
weighing around 135 pounds.
All the talk concerning Leonard's
inaDiuty to make the lightweight
limit Is bunk, according to Welling.
The champion can make 135 pounds
at 2 o'clock the afternoon of the fight
any time he wants to do it, says
Welling.

NELSON GETS IN BAD GOING
TO AID OF WOMAN.
Prizefighter Held Several Sours
Before Being Identified and
Ball Offered for Release.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6. The chivalrous
proclivities of Oscar Matthew Nelson,
popularly known as "Battling" Nel
son, prize fighter, today landed him
in a cell, where he was held several
hours before he was identified-, and
bail offered for his release.
Nelson told the police he was pass
Ing a house when he heard a baby
crying and a woman screaming. He
said he catered and saw a man slap
ping a woman.
'Better use discretion," Nelson told
the man, and the latter agreed that
he had. Then Nelson said another
man slapped the woman and Nelson
made him stop. Nelson said the
police patrol arrived about this time
and the entire party was taken to
the police station.
He complained that he was locked
up with uncongenial companions and
said he would take the matter up
with Chief of Police Fitzmorris. A
few weeks ago Nelson was forced to
pay admission for the first time to a
boxing exhibition because he could
not convince the promoters he was
the ex-famous fighter.
THREE HOOP GAMES BILLED
First Contest Tomorrow In Portland
Public School League.
Three games will be played in the
Portland publio school basketball
league this week. Lincoln and Com

Benson on Wednesday and James
John and Franklin on Thursday. Lin
coin will be weakened through the
graduation of Charles Walpole, who

Although Commerce has not lost
any players through graduation, the
team is weak and stands little chance
of getting out of the cellar. When
Commerce played Jefferson last Tues
day it gathered only three baskets in
the whole game. Jefferson leads the
eague in scoring with 89 points.
Broughton of Jefferson is high-point
man, having scored 43 points.

CONFERENCE ISSUE IIITALiL",
OUTSIDE TEAMS HAVE ADVAN
TAGE IN ATHLETICS.
Question of Refusing to Play With
Schools AVlthout Restrictions
Agitates Country.
The question now debated at the
University of California as to whether
that institution will play teams out
side the college conference, is not
confined to California alone.
Most of the big university football
teams. Including Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, the Big Ten conterence
and the Pacific coast conference,
must abide by certain laws. For in-
stance, the football teams may not
hecln nractice until a specified date.
The one-year eligibility rule is en -
forced strictly. This means tnat no
first-year man is eligible to com
pete, which prevents the temptation
to import men merely tor the sane
of their athletic ability. Another
rule requires that a man may repre
sent his university only three years.
There are other restrictions.
Last fall Princeton was defeated
by Annapolis. Every cadet,' even
the first-year men, is eligible for the
navy team. Last year the navy be
gan training early in August under
the supervision of Coach Folwell,
who was particularly eager to make
good showing against Princeton.
This gave the midshipmen a solid
six weeks' start over the Tigers.
Needless to say what six weeks
means in perfecting team play and
getting the men into shape. In other
words, thenavy was in mid-season
shape when it met Princeton, while
the latter had hardly gotten together.
A few of the foremost football
teams today are under no restric
tions whatever and- as long as the
restricted teams are willing to play
against them, well and good, but
there Is a strong feeling among the
restricted colleges that the unre
stricted ones have been making capi
tal out of the situation. So it would
not be surprising if this feeling
crystallized into act'on.
A defeat is a defeat to the public,
which is ignorant of the conditions
under which the game is played. The
restricted colleges have their rem
edy if they want to use it.

SEATTLE CAMP REJOICES AT
ACTION OF LANDIS.
Prodigal Son Has Returned to Fold
and Indian Chief Orders
Fatted Calf Prepared.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 6. (Spe
cial.) Manuel Cueto, the prodigal
son of the Seattle Indians, has re
turned from his wanderings, and
Prexy Boldt has ordered the fatted
calf prepared for the feast. Czar
Landis has notified the local club
that the dandy little Cuban will be
received back into the good graces
of organized ball as soon as his $200
fine is officially recorded on the
books of Secretary Farrell, and there
is much rejoicing in the Seattle camp.
Cueto s reinstatement removes an
other wrinkle from Boldt's brow. His
versatility makes him doubly valu
able. Cueto is at home In the infield
and he can roam the gardens with
the best of them. The Cuban has
plenty of speed and is a good hitter,
which is proven by the fact that he
batted .298 with Cincinnati in 1918.
And that was in the days before they
put hop in the ball and when .800
hitters were not growing on every
bush.
Cueto has already accepted terms.
Secretary Richardson announcing the
receipt of a cable from faraway San
tiago Saturday, In which the Cuban
expressed bis pleasure at about a
dollar a word at being able to Join
the Seattle Club.
The first call for the pitchers to
shove off was sounded Saturday,
when all of the chuckers who reside
in the east were instructed to report
at Boyles Springs.
Bob Nixon the big, powerful kid
who was picked up by Clyde Wares
three years ago, has been sold to the
Southern league. He will go to
Mobile, which Is the team that Bert
Niehoff wili manage. Nixon lacks
the fighting spirit of a winning ball
player and, while a fair hitter, he
was a bit slow in the field. He played
with Raymond's Yakima club, and did
not show a great deal of promise.
Niehoff saw him click a few two
seasons ago, when Nixon made a
road trip with the tribe. Nixon hit
well on that trip, and Niehoff prob
ably figures that he bats like that
all the time.
