THQUEHTSOFFANS ROVE TO BEAVEBS McCredie Will Select Training Camp on Present Trip South. RED SOX WILL BE PLAYED Interest Centers on Portland Team's Series With Boston Americans. Steen Center of Pitching Staff for ll I. The advent of Joe Tinker, who visit ed Portland for the first time since he helped wla the pennant here in 1S01. and the departure of Manager McCre die for ban Francisco to attend the league meeting, afforded plenty of chance for the bugs to fan. Tinker, of course, wan the prlie at traction, yet the departure of McCredie brings to mind the fact that the ball season ts but a few weeks distant, and forcibly Impressed upon the fans that It will not be Ion before the ball toss ers are at work on the training fields, and shortly afterwards will commence the struggle which Is hoped to bring another flag to Portland. Before leaving. Manager McCredie announced that he would select his training camp while In the South, and would also arrange for several games with the Boston Americans, which team will do its preliminary work in Cali fornia this Spring. Red Sox Games Interest. The games with the Red Sox will be the most Interesting of the long series of preliminary contests to be ar ranged during this week by the Port land manager. This Is the first visit of the Boston Americana to the Paclflo Coast, and. naturally, their coming Is attracting widespread attention In the South. If McCredie is successful In getting three or four games with the Boston "Speed Boys." he will be great ly pleased, for the contests with the big leaguers ought to try the metal of his players. The Portland manager also expects to arrange for an almost continuous series of games during the training pe riod, for he thinks this Is the most practical method of seasoning his team for the commencement of a strenuous season. While at Santa Maria, McCre die will look over the prospects for practice games, and on the result of his visit depends his decision, whether or not the team will make Its headquar ters there. McCredie was highly pleased with the experience he had at Santa liar la. for that place proved an ideal training camp and the workouts had at that place undoubtedly helped the Bavers greatly. McCredie Is figuring on visiting San Bernardino as well as Santa Maria, and it ma)' be that the former point will be selected by the Portland manager. This year the Beavers open the season at Los Angeles, and San Bernardino Is much closer to the Angel City and also Is in closer proximity to larger places than Santa Maria. - The Portland man lire r will alro visit Ventura, Fresno. Merred and Modesto on Ms tour of In vestigation. Twenty Players Will Report. Instead of having 31 players at the training camp this year. McCredie says hat not more than 20 men will be -ailed upon to report at the ramp, and the "failures" will be shipped U Nick Williams' team and afforded a chance arlth that club. Manager McCredie Is building his pitching staff around Bill Steen. the -nly one of the star trio left to Port land this year, for Gregg and Krapp o to Cleveland. Stcen's work was imply satisfactory, but other tw triers ?iua!lv as good must be secured to hold Portland in an "upper berth." Krank Archer is looked upon as a find by the big leaguers who saw him in action last season, and while attending the meeting of the National Associa tion In November, McCredie received several offers for the youngster, but refused to sell. Archer is a left-hander and said to he a twlrler of as much promise as was Greg when he broke in with Spokane ta-o sears ago. If he equals Uregg's record by half, he will prove - able assistance to the Portland team and McCredie will have accomplished something more In the way of devel oping diamond stars. Seaton Is Retalnetl- Tom Scaton will again wear a Pa rifle Coast League uniform, for the "silent one" showed enough class last season to be retained. Seaton is raid to possess the widest curve of any pitcher In the league, and last year he howed flashes of form which prom ised to earn him a berth in the big agues. At times, however, be was Inclined to "skyrocket" and lapses caused him to be taken out of the box mora frequently than any other Port land pitcher. However, Tom won more games than he lost, and participated In some high-class pitching exhibitions. Sanohes and Axlett, the two Califor nia youngsters McCredie has landed for bis Pacific Coast League team, are both highly recommended by Nick Williams. Claude Berry. Ernest Moh ler and other California leaguers who have seen them perform. Arlett has pitched a number of good games against first-class teams and was about to have signed wtth San Fran cisco when McCredie beat Danny Long to it. Nick Williams speaks of San rhea as a bigger star than either Wol ters or ArreUanes, both of whom were former teammates of the new Portland Pitcher. McCredie has not yet heard anything from Neal Ball, the new inflelder se cured from Cleveland, but expects to meet Ball in Los Angeles this week and talk matters over. McCredie ex pects no trouble In signing up this player, for he is prepared to make a liberal offer. CATHOXIC CXCB TO SEE BOCTS Young Men Mill Hold Boxing, Wrestling Smoker.

January 13. O'Brien recently defeated Bert Stah ley. the Oshkosb boy. in a bout at the Terminal building, and. although be ha appeared but twice In Milwaukee rings, he bids strongly to become a fa vorite with the fans, Schultz has been winning his bouts regularly and the fight between the two should be a hummer. They will go eight rounds at 138 pounds. Danny O'Brien gained fame here as an amateur when he defeated Gene West in a tournament held under the auaploes of the Multnomah Amateur Athletle Club in the Fall of 10. O'Brien later turned professional and appeared In several exhibitions during January ana xaorusry ui jsl jrr. j Last June he went to Chicago to try nis nana in uia icu-i uuuu bui ,u the East, but was not successful in getting matches at the Windy City, and about two months ago he went to Mil waukee, where he made good from the start.

TRACK TEAM CALL GETS IS ASPIRANT Winter Training Commences on Denny Field at Wash ington Varsity. 1911 VICTORY IS SEEN Return of Bralley Gish Brings Un alloyed Pleasure to Students. ' Many Vacancies on Baseball Squad Will Xot Be Filled. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Se attle, Jan. 7. (Special.) In response -to the call of Captain Hugh Bowman, of w - y -.I . w .h in irtii n track team for 1911. more than 16 aspirants appeared on Denny Field, Thursday, for the commencement of the Winter train- lnsr. "The turn out was better than I expected." said Captain Bowman today, "and I consider the prospects favorable. It Is not certain how many men will be finally . allowed to train. The first semester examinations coming on may find some not only falling in credits, but a few may leave school. This will, of course, cripple the team's success." The entire team of last year will be In action, together with undeveloped mater ial. This gives much hope to the Sound team, as last year they were the Coast champions. Men as Wright, Campbell. Gish, Stoll. Rldgeway. Smith and Bow man. In the quarter-mile, who are well known, and in the half-mile. Smith and Stoll; hammer. Sherrlck: shotput. Patton and Eakins; broad Jump. Brokaw: high Jump. Evane; Hugh Bowman, captain, on polevault, and Brokaw on hurdles, should bring to the Seattle university the 1911 championship. The season promises to see the uni versity track Improved over what It had been during past meeta at Seattle. Work will be commenced on it early in the Spring to get it into proper shape. Dur ing the Winter months about 100 yards of the track will be covered for Winter training. The return of Bralley Gish, Washing ton's all-star track man back, brings no little pleasure to the student and the fellow trackmen. Gish Is probably the best all round athlete In the West, hav ing taken not only firsts and seconds In events, but has received many promi nent places on the field. He has been able to fix up with his professors the matter of military training and will take up the active work this ween. The schedule which was arranged re cently Is satisfactory to Washington. She will meet O. A. C. at Seattle, the Triangular and Eugene, the Coast meet at Berkeley, probably Washington State College at Seattle, and the McGUl Col lege, of Vancouver, B. C. at Seattle. Relative to other sports much uncer tainty arises. Baseball will see many vacant positions not to be filled by old men of last year. Clemenston. Ten Mil lion and "Jimmy" Clarke will not be able to occupy places on the varsity, be cause of action taken by the conference at Spokane last week. All have played on salary In Summer baseball in East ern and Northwestern leagues. Million's and Clarke's absence will give Washing ton a severe blow. Clarke has officiated In the box with great success, while Million has held down the first sack much to the credit of Washington. What men can take the place of these two men will be a hard problem for the team to solve. Basketball seems to have its troubles. Captain Williams believes that his team will be much weaker than last year. Lack of credits has thrown many of the best men out of 'the game. For wards are greatly lacking, which Is of much need to the team. New men are being broken into action not to the atiefaetion of Williams. January 17 the team goes east of the mountains, where they meet the schools there. Williams said today that he expected that he would lose to Whitman and Idaho, but would win from W, S. C. Relative to the Oregon colleges, Will iams is uncertain, as the Webfoot col leges always have strong quintets, which will in all probability give the Washington five a rough game.

WIFE NO. 5 WILL GO 'KID" M'COY, EX-PUGILIST, TO LOSE LATEST SPOUSE. Heavyweight Has Tempestuous Ca reer Along: Matrimonial Lines. Fighter Is Not Worried. "Oh, very well. I'll Just add these to my collection," remarked Norman E. Selby, better known as "Kid" McCoy, the erstwhile heavyweight pugilist, as he was served with, papers announcing divorce proceedings started by his fifth wife, whose petition was granted a few days ago at New Tork. "Kid" McCoy's matrimonial ventures have been about as successful as his ring career, for, while he was married seven different times, three times to one woman, six times these women divorced him and only once in his mat rimonial career did he secure the sep aration on his own petition. A New York paper gives the following account of Selby's adventures: "The last Mrs. Selby was the widow of Edward C. ('Bud') Ellis, who inher ited a fortune made in the locomotive building Industry. She stood No. 5 on Selby's list of wives unless you count the three times he married one of them, and that makes her No. 7. She appeared in court arrayed in Jewels, silks and furs of gorgeous hue and texture. Ac companying her wae Emanuel Volt, a young New York University student and gridiron hero, who was her prin cipal witness. "Mrs. Lillian E. Selby Is the former pugilist's third actress wife, for before her marriage to Ellis, she was known behind the footlights as Lillian Earl, she said. She smiled broadly when her attorney asked her if she knew Mr. Selby. She admitted the acquaintance. She now lives at No. 213 Riverside Drive. "When Volt took the stand he told how. at Mrs. Selby's request, he had tracked the former fighter through the devious ways of the Tenderloin. At last, he declared, he found McCoy in a room in a hotel near Broadway and Forty-first street. In the room was a woman. He was sure it was not Mrs. Selby. "McCoy, he said, was- clad in vivid pajamas, and the young woman was garbed in, 'oh, a flimsy sort of thing.' "Justice Platxek asked if Mr. Voit had left the room when McCoy told him to. " "I did,' was the quick response. " "I Imagined as much,' said the Judge, with a quiet smile. "McCoy's marital adventures have been numerous. In 1894 he married Lottie Plehler. a milliner, in Middle town. She promptly divorced him. In 1897 he wedded Charlotte last name unknown in St. Louis. She divorced him at Hamilton. O.' Then came his first marriage to Mrs. Julia S. Crossel man, who had Just divorced a husband. "She divorced him. remarried him, re dlvorced him. remarried him. Then she ran away to Japan with Ralph Thomp son a young broker, and McCoy got a divorce himself. In 1904 he married Indlola Arnold, a show girl, who went specially to Providence and divorced him. In October. 1905, he married the present Mrs. Selby." CHEMAWA IXDIAXS BEATEX McMlnnville College Basketball Team Wins 45-13 Game. rTinilffl. Or.. Ja.n. 7.

SICK MONTH AFTER FIGHT Mental or Nervous Collapfee Xot Re sponsible for failure Truth Will Come Out, He SaysGreat Feats of Endurance Done. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7. That James J. Jeffries entered the ring with Jack Johnson at Reno, July 4, a drugged man and not a man suffering from nervous collapse Is the pith of a signed article by Barney Oldfield, which will be pub lished here tomorrow and which has been authorized by the defeated cham pion. According to Oldfield. Jeffries took him Into his confidence during a recent trip in the Sierras. Oldfleld's statement Is in part as fol lows: , "Mental or nervous collapse, Jeffries explained, would not have affected him physically for weeks after the fight. The poison which was given him af fected his stomach principally after wards, and for a month he could scarcely retain riolid food. His favor ite dishes did not possess any charm of taste and his whole body seemed as if stricken with rheumatism. When he began to get over the effects of the dope,' ho felt like a convalescent from a spell of typhoid fever. He was posi tive it was not temporary mental or nervous trouble. All Details Will Come Out. "I begged him, to let me give to the world the Information he possessed, but he refused, saying that he would rather have It come out from another source. He Is firm in the belief that the details will all come out within a. year or so. "Jeffries pledged me to secrecy about the details of the treachery and what he had been able to learn. He told me I was the only man who knew as much as he told me. I promised to aid him in getting some information he cannot get himself. "Jeff's story to me absolved the mem bers of his training camp from any blame that much I must say in Justice to the men who helped him with all their heart. Jeff's Endurance Marvelous. "It was after Jeff told me his story that I began to marvel at his present physical condition. For the ten days we were in the mountains he performed stunts in endurance that I did not think were possible for any man. - Never did he falter or refuse to accept any chal lenge that opportunty to scale differ ent peaks hurled. To any man who has ever had a bit of experience In profes sional athletics or possesses a whit oi knowledge gleaned around training camps, Jeff's condition as he proved it day after day must come as a revela tion."
