BEAVER TEAM TO
TRAIN AT TUCSON
McCredie Only Waiting for
Cash Guarantee From
Arizona Town.
SIGNS UP SOME GOOD ONES
Cooney, New Shortstop, Was Wanted
by McGraw Harmon and Lakaff
Will Make Good Gossip of
the
Baseball World.
BT W. J. PETRAIJC.
Walter McCredie and his balltossers,
who are expected to bring glory to Port
land this season, are likely to do their
9(ring preparatory work at Tucson, Arls.
Negotiations to that effect are now being
carried on, and if the hungry fans of the
Arizona town are as anxious as they ap
peared to .be, judging from the enthusi
astic letter received from them last week,
tl Portland boys will have an opportu
nity of becoming "tanned up" some be-'
fore they cross bats with San Francisco
on the opening day of the season.
McCredie is waiting on the Arizona
fans for a cash guarantee of a certain
amount whereby he can defray the ex
penses of the tribe from the wilds of the
desert to the Golden Oate". Mac figures
that it will cost at least ..OOO to carry his
team from Tucson to San Francisco, and
is holding otf until the Arizonans guaran
tee that this heavy expense will be forth
coming. Baseball funs all over the country are
wondering over the strange deal com
pleted several weeks ago between the
New York and Boston National league
clubs. Five of the Giants, all men who
have made their mark in baseball, were
turned over to the Boston club in ex
change for three players, only one of
whom possesses a reputation In the major
leagues. Dan McGann, the initial sacker.
Bill Dahlen. for years a noted National
league shortstop, Frank Bowerman the
catcher, George Browne, t..e outfielder,
and pitcher Ferguson of the New York
Giants, were traded to Boston for Fred
Tenney, first baseman, Brldwell, an in
tielder who Is practically an experiment,
and Tom Needham, a catcher who has
not yet acquired a reputation equal to
that of Bowerman, the scrappy battery
partner of the great Christy Matthewson.
, It Is generally supposed that Andy Freed
man and John T. Brush are interested
financially In tho Boston club and hope
to place the Beaneatcrs on a winning
basis, something that has been denied
the Boston Nationals for over ten years.
TWe drafting of Phil Cooney. the clever
shortstop of the JohnstWn team In the
Pennsylvania league, by Walter McCredie
has brought to light the. fact that Mc
Graw had his eye on Cooney for his New
York club. It seems the Portland mana
ger stole a march on McGraw as well
as several other Easterners In -he hook
ing of Cooney. for the Portland manager
put in his draft during the period that
the manager of the Giant was lying
awake nights figuring on the Boston
aeai. ana when ne came out 01 his trance
Cooney belonged to Portland and the
drafting season was at an end. There
fore McGrnw was a highly disgruntled
manager when he was informed by Johns
town that lie would have to deal with
Portland, Oregon, if he really wanted the
services of the inflelder. So far McCredie
has heard nothing from McGraw and an
nounces that he will not part with
Cooney under any circumstances.
Robert G. Harmon, who is listed with
the training sciuad of the Portland team,
was born in Barton County, Mo.. Octo
ber 15, 1SS7. Ho spent part of his early
youth with his parents at Chchalis,
Wash., and In S7. returned to his native
s.ill in the Missouri hills. His first regu
lar engagements as a baseball player
came in when he was engaged as a
pitcher for tho LJberal. Mo., team, with
which club he made a splendid showing.
I-ast year he played with the Morenci
and Clifton. Ariz., tenms and with them
he visited F.l Paso. Tex., and Albuquer
que. N. M., and attracted considerable
attention at those places. He is not only
a Ktrong pitcher, but is said to be able
to play any of the Infield or outfield po
sitions and may prove a valuable utility
man.
Indications are that Bill Essick. the
former Portland favorite, will be a mem
ber of D. K. Dugvlalo's outfit during the
season soon to be inaugurated.' Bill
really belongs to St. Paul, but a little
thing like that does not bother Dugdale,
of Seattle, neither does it worry J-ennon,
of St. Paul. The two magnates are "in
cahoots." as far as the ownership of
players Is concerned. When Dug wants
a player ho notifies I-ennon, and the re
quired player Is shipped to Seattle, and
vice versa, although It can be safely
Mated that Lennon gets a shade the
worst of the deal because he sends Dug
a far greater number than the Seattle
man hustles to the East. Essick happens
to be wintering in Seattle, and therefore
It is more than probable that the St:
Paul magnate will save transportation
fees by turning him over to Dug.
Tim Flood, who belonged to McCredie
for an entire season, but owing to a dif
ference of opinion with the manager,
played elsewhere during that period, is
again to play second base and captain
for the St. Paul team in the American
Association. Tim's many friends in Port
land, made here while he was a member of
the Los Angeles club, wish him a most
successful season, i
Artie Ross, the diminutive outfielder,
who played all lasV season with the ro
tund Seattle person in spite of Portland's
claim, has acquired so much of the "Se
attio Spirit" by his association with Dug
that he has engaged In business at the
Ellott Bay township. Ross is a great
favorite with the Seattle fans, and seems
to appreciate the fact that he has made
good there.
John Bassey. the stocky leftfielder of
the Portland team last season, probably
prevented a disastrous coflagration last
Monday morning. He Is employed by
the United States Immigration Bureau
as a deputy Inspector." and in the pursuit
of his duties was stationed at the Alaska
dock where one of the China liners was
berthed. On returning to the flock after
lunch he discovered smoke issuing from
a shed on the Gas Company's block In
that vicinity. He promptly turned In an
alarm, and the firemen got the blaze un
der control before it could spread to the
adjoining coal blna and coke repositories.
John J. Grim, manager of the Portland
champs of 1901. is at Lynchburg. Va.,
and will handle the baseball club of
that town in the Virginia League this
Season. Jack writes to the Sporting News
that he will have a winner this year. It
is a perennial habit with Grim to have
pennant winners during the Winter
months, but since his Portland success
he has not been In the money in the flag
chasing game. While there is life there
is hope, and Jack Grim, if he la anything
like he was in Portland, is alive although
he is not. always aware of the fact. .
The Rock Island admirers of Frank
Lakaff. the big left-handed twirler signed
by McCredie, and who pitched for that
place last season, confidently expect him
to make a splendid showing In the Pa
cific Coast League. Lakaff assisted in
pitching the Rock Island club Into the
championship of the I. I. I. League last
season.
A. J. Walsh, of Chicago, one of the
catchers secured by Manager McCredie.
Is rated as one of the. most promising
youngsters in the Middle West. He has
played In the Iowa State League, as well
as with teams in the Chicago City
League. He will probably act as second
catcher for the Portland team this sea
son, unless the California busher, Whal
ing, should prove a better man.
Ed Kennedy, who was Portland's first
baseman at the windup of last season
and who wil -be a member of McCredie's
squad in the Spring training, has been
engaged to coach the Columbia Univer
sity baseball team and will oommence the
work tomorrow. The lads at Columbia
have a large covered gym with a dirt
floor and here they can begin practice
Immediately. Kennedy hopes to develop
a crack interscholastic team from the
material on hand.

"Honest" John' . McCloskey will ' con
tinue his ambitious struggle with fate
and the other National League teams.
THREE NEW MEMBERS OF THE PORTLAND BASEBALLTTEAM
' ; ' ! I
John has announced his array of talent
for the coming" battle- among the big fel
lows. and while he has not placed Joe
Marshall's name among the collection, it
1a safe to predict that he will be unop
posed for the premier position In the
league; at least, such will be the case if
you read the order reversed. . McCloskey
cannot get rid of the idea of making
major leaguers out of "Lucas' league
talent.
Portland Boy Wins at Fencing:.
The following letter, from the Army
and Navy Journal, will be pleasant
reading to the many friends of Cadet
Robert Sears (son of the late Judge
Sears), whose name appears In the com
munication: WEST POINT. N. T.. Dec. 23. 1f07.
The - Adjutant. IT. S. Military Academy
fthroug'h the commandant of cadets)
Sir: l have tbe honor to report that the
fnctnff team representing the Military
Academy at the Junior team competition.
held under the auspices of the Amateur i
Fencers' league of America, at the home of
the French branch of the Young Men's
Christian Association, in New York, on De
cember 21. won a signal victory. Nine
teams, representing Yale, Columbia, New
Yorlc Athletic Club, Fencers Club, Crescent
Athletic Club of Brooklyn. French T. M. C.
A.. New York Turn Verein, Cornwall Mili
tory Academy and the Army team con
tested. In the first round our team, which was
composed of Cadets Dickinson. Sneed and
Sears, met and defeated the French Y. M.
C. A. by a. score of 5 to O; in the second
round we were paired with Columbia, from
whom we won by the same score, 5 to O;
in the third round we fenced the Fencers
Club and won agr&in by a score of 3 to 0;
and in the final round we defeated Yale by
a score of 5 to 1. Our only defeat came
after we had won 1ft successive bouts. Our
total score was 20 to 1, the best possible
score that could be made being; 20 to 0.
Dickinson won six; Sneed won six and
lost one; Sears won eight. In my opinion
the fencing was superior to that of the
Intercollegiate meets, many contestants be
ing old. experienced -fencers, which makes
our victory all the more gratifying. Sears'
werk was . particularly good, and so was
Pnced's, except for one bout, when he be
came a little over-anxious. Dickinson did
not do himself justice, which, no doubt,
was due to the fact that he has devoted
his time in assisting to developing the other
members of the fencing squad. - Each mem
ber of the team received a very handsome
gold medal, the gift of the French X. M.
C. A.
Taken in all. the experience gathered at
this meet has , done our team a world of
good. My object in requesting permission
for our team to compete was to x-ive the
first-class men on it an opportunity to re
ceive some reward for their efTorts for the
past three years. Dickinson was tied with
WlHiford of 06 for the intercollegiate
championship in ISO, and In ltx7 he won
it. but he has nothing to show for it. The
medal he received, coming to him in what
Is probably his last competition as a cadet,
will therefore be a source of great satis
faction and pride to him.
In closing I desire to mention that the
aggressiveness and determination of the
members of our team, as well as their skill,
called for many favorable comments.
Very respectfully. H. J. KOEHLER
Capt.. U. S. Army. Master of the Sword.
SLEEPS FOR EIGHT DAYS
Milan AVomnn Then- Awakens In
Perrect Health.
MILAN. Jan. io. (Special) An ex
traordinary case of catalepsy is re
ported from Galileo, in Calabria. For
several days a woman named Concetta
Mlcasco had not been seen outside her
house. Fearing that some accident had
happened to her. the neighbors called
upon the carabineers to break open the
door, when the woman was found to be
sleeping tranquilly.
The neighbors tried in vain to arouse
her, and .doctors -who were called in
pronounced the case to be a serious
one of catalepsy. Mlcasco slept on for
eight days, and awoke In perfect health.
This strange event drew large crowds
to Galileo, and the whole neighborhood
Is enthusiastically rejoicing and con
gratulating the woman on having been
"restored to life."
STATE SPRINTERS
IN INDOOR MEETS
Both Dan Kelly and Forrest
Smithson Enter Eastern
Tournaments. .
TO- RUN TOMORROW NIGHT
Multnomah Will Go Ahead With Re
construction of Athletic Field.
Other Sporting Items
. of Interest.
Dan J. Kelly and Forrest Smithson. the
two famous Oregon sprinters, have
entered the big Eastern indoor field meets
to take plane at New York, Boston and
elsewhere in the next few weeks. To
morrow night the Pastime Athietic Club
will hold a sport carnival at Madison
Square Garden, and in competition with
the crack Kastern athletes will be found
the two clever sprinters from the Pa
cific Cpast.
Kelly, who has been attending to his
athletic training as well as his studies at
the University of Michigan, is entering
the big contests for the purpose of show
ing what he can do. He is determined
to redeem himself for his failure at
Jamestown. f
Smithson, who has made considerable
of a record for himself as a hurdler
throughout the Kast, Is to compete under
the colors of the- Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club at all the meets of this
Indoor series. At New York tomorrow
he is to meet Harry Hillman, the premier
hurdler on the Eastern Coast, and is con
fident of being able to demonstrate that
he has a rightful claim to the champion
ship. The work of enlarging Multnomah
field will be Inaugurated very shortly.
A number of contractors have been Im
portuned to submit bids on the work
of excavating and cutting down the
West embankment. This work is to
be rushed, for it is desired to have the
field, leveled and tiled before the Spring
season commences, in order that the
track athletes will be permitted to ex
ercise thereon when the weather mod
erates sufficiently to permit outdoor
sports.
New tennis courts are to be added, to
the advantages of the field, and a cin
der path, equal to anything of the kind
in the country, is to be constructed
around what is commonly known as
the football field. The gridiron, or field
proper, is used by the ball tossers dur-'
ing their season, and when the pres
ent contemplated Improvements have
been completed they will enjoy a much
larger area than formerly, for the rea
son that portions of the ball field were
encroached upon by the tennis courts.
The enlargement will make it possible
to build the tennis courts in such a lo
cation that they will not interfere with
the ball field. The fact that $20,000 is
to be expended in completing this Im
provement indicates the extent of the
undertaking, and also the fact that
Multnomah is desirous of fostering
every branch of athletics, regardless of
expense.
The Portland Rowing Club Is pre
paring for a strenuous . aquatic cam
paign during the coming season, and
for the purpose of developing and
furthering the ambitions of embryo
Ned Hanlons the organization is plan
ning many Improvements. The senlqr
four, which represented the club most
successfully last year, Is again in har
ness and preparing themselves for an
even more successful campaign- this
year. Very little practice has been in
dulged in on the open water this Win
ter, but on bright or warm days the
oarsmen and scullers take advantage
of the opportunity -of limbering up for
the approaching season. Within the
next six weeks the club expects to
have nearly 30 experienced or ambi
tious oarsmen at. practice.
Professor William L. Murray, one of
the trio of athletic trainers secured by
E. E.-Morgan to develop a track team
for the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club, will take his youngsters on their
first jaunt this morning.' Professor
Murray has been allotted the task of
developing the distance runners for the
track team which Director Morgan be
lieves can be developed from strictly
Multnomah Club material within three
years. He at one time was one of the
best-known milers and long-distance
runners in America, and on the
strength of his experience as such has
been selected to develop the embryo
.champs.
Providing the weather Is moderate,
the youngsters enrolled In Murray's
quad will be taken for a long walk
through the country today. The first
trip will be taken gradually, and no
effort made to exert the youngsters to
tiresome efforts. By taking things
easily until their muscles, both at run
ning and walking, are sufficiently
hardened. It is hoped to prevent sore
ness or the early development of
"Charley horse." the bane of the ath
lete. Professor Murray has under
taken the task with creditable enthu
siasm, and expects to produce some
youngsters who will make their mark
In Held and track events.
The Southern California Swimming
Association is rapidly completing ar
rangements for the swimming carnival
to take place at the Biminl Baths on
January 31. One of the principal events
to be decided at this aquatic gather
ing will be the team that will repre
sent America at the Olympic games at
London next Summer. At the Los An
geles tourney will be all the noted
swimmers of America, and according to
the advance notices of the programme
some . highly interesting events are
scheduled. Among the swimmers to
compete at BImini are Scott Leary,
Wilbur Kyle, Stanley Mitchell. Ben
Watllngton, Eli Brown,. Baker. Craw
ford, Abeg, the Swiss, and many others
of note from both California and other
places. '
At the Jack Hill benefit Friday night
the spectators were furnished with one
of the best exhibitions of wrestling
that has been their fortune to witness
for some time. Ed Kennedy, the popu
lar first baseman of the Portland Pa-
cific Coast League team, and a wrestler
of considerable ability, was pitted
against "Strangler Smith," and they
put up a rattling good bout. At lis
conclusion Smith issued a challenge to
Kennedy, which was accepted immedi
ately, and it Is possible that Portland
will have an opportunity of witness
jng the two men In a realry serious go
in a short time. Kennedy is contin
ually in condition, and will be ready
at the appointed time.. There is some
talk, at least such is whispered among
the friends of Kennedy, that he is
likely to be matched against Dr. B. F.
Roller, of Seattle, who recently defeat
ed "Farmer" Burns. A match between
these men should prove an attractive
card.
Colt of Famous Blood. '
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Word ftas been
received in New York of the birth of
the flrst colt In America by Rocksand,
the $125,009 stallion, imported by Au
gust Belmont. The foal was born at
Belmont's stud farm In Kentucky. Its
dam being Rayon d'Or, mare Fetich.
As the first son of the famous winner
of the 2000 guineas, the Derby and
the St. Ieger stakes in England, in
190S, the foal will be viewed with
Interest, but to this It adds a strain of
blood that has become prominent re
cently on the turf. Fetich being of the
same origin, tracing in direct female
line, as Colin, the champion of the
turf last Summer, and winner of $130,
000 in purses. ' .
Indoor Baseball Game.
A fast game of indoor baseball -was
played at the Armory Thursday night
between Company E. O. N. G., and the
Goodyear Rubber Company's "Gold Seal"
team, with a score of 13 to 4 In favor of
the latter. The next game of the series
will be played at the Armory January
30, between Company C and ' the "Gold
Seals." Manager R. E. Borden, of the
"Gold Seals" will be pleased to receive
challenges for further contests.

Barbadoes Demon "Goes the
Pace" With the Inev
itable Result.
BEATEN BY SECOND-RATER
Was Winner In Last Fight in Port
land Before the Lid Was Put
On Burns Is Preparing
to Meet Roche.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
' Joe Wolcott. at the age of 32 years,
is all -in. Like the vast majority of
the erstwhile stars of the .fistic game
who made great records in the "good
old days." he has gone the pace with
the Inevitable result.
Only a few days ago we read of the
death of George Dixon, known to Fist
iana' as the "Little Chocolate." who
passed in his checks, to use Western
parlance. In the alcoholic ward . of a
New York hospital, and the predic
tion that Joe Wolcott will go the same
way may be made with some expecta
tion of fulfillment. In Wolcott's case,
however, he has not yet become the
charge on the public that Dixon was
for the year or more before his end.
Joe Wolcott is known more widely
in the United States than any other
colored fighter with the possible ex
ception of Joe Gans. During his ca
reer he became known as the "Bar
badoes Demon." "Black Wonder." and
"Giant Killer." All these were earned
by his scrapping ability, for the col
ored man, while comparatively dwarf
like In stature, scored many decisive
victories over men who were a full
head taller than he.
He will be remembered by the Port
land fight fans as one of the principals
in the lai?t big boxing exhibition
pulled off here Just before Sheriff Tom
Word clapped on the lid. His oppo
nent at that time was "Mysterious"
Billy Smith, now a resident of Port
land. At "this bout it was plainly ap
parent to all present that the black
man had gone back, and even though
he was victorious, he failed to show
his old-time class. Smith was plainly
out of condition but for the four
rounds he remained in the ring against
Wolcott he clearly bested the "Bar
badoes Demon," Owing to the arro
gance displayed on the part of Jack
Johnson, principal second of Wolcott,
the black man became in bad repute
because of Johnson's quibbling over
the bandages worn by the principals.
This resulted In both men stripping
off the bandages, and Smith's hands
were fractured so severely that after
his seconds. Tommy Tracy and Martin
Denny, threw up the sponge as the
men were called Into the ring for the
fifth round, the gloves had to be cut
from them on account of their swell'
ing. Wolcott was declared the win
ner of the match.
Fought Out of His Class.
Wolcott fought as a welterweight,
but frequently took on middle weights
as well as heavies. His most noted
feat was his decisive victory over Joe
Choynski, and after that victory he
went after Tom Sharkey and Jim Cor
bett, but both these worthies side
stepped him by advancing the argu
ment that he was not In their class.
One day Wolcott was , asked how he
figured that he had any chance with
men like Corbett and Sharkey. He
replied: "Well, I never has any trub
b!e wit' dem feller. If dey's too high
to reach on de jaw, I jess doubles em
up with a poke in de belly, and den
it Is easy to hit 'em."
Recently Joe failed mlserablv to
make a showing against Jimmy Gard
ner, which evidences his decline in
the fighting game. There was a time
when all men he met feared his ter
rific right, but it is now the prevailing
belief that he could not dent a fresh
pancake with that member. A few
years ago Wolcott, while carelessly
handling a revolver, discharged a bul
let through his right hand, and todav
he scarcelv mn iinnhia n . i.
and is unable to strike a hard blow.
is lorcea to rely entlrelv on his
left, and his opponents today soon
find it out and are not slow to take
advantage of his affliction.
In addition Wolcott has not been
treading the straight and narrow
path, and the marks of his dissipation
are sM in T n.Au . i .
