BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Pacific Coast League clubs will all
have strong protection In the outer
works in 1913. In so far as the Port
land fly-chasers are concerned, if Man
ager McCredle had no other concern
than his outfield, he could go into the
seven months' campaign tomorrow
without a wrinkle or a worry.
Last season Portland and Vernon had
the classiest outfields in the league, ac
cording to a majority of the experts.
but Los Angeles and Oakland lagged
not far behind. San Francisco and Sac
ramento were both woefully weak. In
1913 the entire six clubs will line up
about on a par. with ban Francisco ap
parently the weakest sister at the pres
ent writing.
Portland stands pat with five great
athletes Chadbourne, Krueger. Doane.
Fitzgerald and Cunningham, of the 1912
squad, and Fortier, a Salt Lake recruit
who batted .354 and stole 37 bases in
121 games. Vernon 'has made no addi
tions at all, Hogan being content to
start the year with Kane, Carlisle and
Bayless, a wonderfully speedy trio.
Schlrm In Obtained.
Oakland lost Patterson In the draft
to bt. Louis, but Manager-elect Mitze
has purchased Schlrm, a terrific hitter,
from Buffalo, and everybody seems
agreed that the International Leaguer
will more than make up for Patterson's
loss. Mltze has Coy and Zacher to go
with Schlrm, and Otey Abbott, erst
while Tacoma outfielder, to fall back
upon. The Oaks will be a trifle stronger.
Los Angeles lost Heinle Heltmuller
by death and Pete Daley to Philadel
phia, but by the latter trade Dillon se
cured Harl Maggart. former Oak, and
Maggert Isn't far below Daley's form.
In addition to Maggert. the Angels will
have Ellis of the St. Louis Nationals In
uniform: Charley Moore, inflelder of
last year's squad, and the three second
string men. Core, Lober and Driscoll.
Last year Heitmuller was out of the
play a great deal of the time through
injuries, while Lober was a weak hitter
against southpaws. Wtih Maggert,
Moore and EIHIb as regulars, the An
gels look stronger than in 1912.
Trouble Im Experienced.
San Francisco and Sacramento had a
terrible time with their outfields last
eason. The Seals used about three
complete changes. They opened in April
with Mclvor. Raftery, Hartley, John
son and Powell as regulars, and not one
of the bunch lasted half the season.
Mclntyre, purchased from Detroit near
the close, proved a demon clouter. Dur
ing the Winter Ewlng purchased Will
Hogan. ex-Oakland star, from St. Louis,
and these two men, with Hoffman of
the Oaks and Mundorrf, should give the
Seals an outfield 60 per cent improved.
Reidy could, however, still use a crack
gardener to advantage.
Kenworthy, the Denver slugger who
tried out with Washington last Fall, is
the chief Sacramento recruit. Ken
worthy batted .335 in the Western
League last year in 111 games, and
stole 39 bases, and should help the
Senators. Wolverton also has Moran,
a Chattanooga Southern Leaguer, and
Van Buren, Shinn, Swain and Lewis of
last year's cellar club. Kenworthy,
Moran and Shinn will likely be the reg
ular trio. Although Moran hits only
.269 he is extremely fast and is a good
fielder.
Beavers Have Hani Hltterm.
In hitting strength alone, Portland
easily tops the sextet. McCredie has
five .300 hitters Cunningham, .381;
Fitzgerald. .335; Fortier. .354; Doane,
.309; Krueger, .299, and one .275 clouter.
Chadbourne. Cunningham is the Cali
fornia kid picked up by McCredle late
in the Fall. He figured In 11 games,
held down his berth like a veteran, bat
ted .361 and fielded 1000. McCredle ex
pects the youngster to beat one of his
old heads out of a Job.
Chadbourne. Doane, Fitzgerald and
Cunningham are all speed merchants,
comparing very favorably with the Ver
non midgets, Johnny Kane, Dickie Bay
less and Walter Carlisle. As McCredie
expects to carry five outfielders most
of the season. Nick Williams will likely
get one of the two youngsters. Fortier
and Cunningham, early in April.
A statistical recapitulation of the
Coast League outfields, using 1912 aver
ages, follows:

HOYLE MAY BE INSTRUCTOR
Captain Eaton, of Crew. Refuses tc
Deny Report That Boat Builder
of "Old Man Courtney" Will
Be Xext Coach.
BERKELEY. Cal., Jan. XI. (Special.)
Following the rumor from Ithaca,
N. Y that John Hoyle, "Old Man Court
ney's" boat builder, is coming west to
train the California crew, Captain
Arthur Eaton, of the varsity eight has
announced that the state university
has definitely decided to adopt the
Cornell syplem of rowing after giving
the famous stroke invented by Court
ney a severe tryout.
All this looks as if California means
business as far as rowing is concerned.
There is no official confirmation of the
report that John Hoyle is to direct
rowing affairs here next year, but
Graduate Manager Donald refuses to
deny the rumor.
Constant defeats on the water at the
hands of Stanford and Washington
have aroused California to the neces
sity of doing something to regain
prestige in rowing. Hoyle Is one man
who could bring California to the front
In this branch of athletics. He has
built shells, for Courtney and Cornell
crews for years and has coached the
freshmen with success. It would come
hard for Cornell to part with him and
It would take a good deal to induce htm
to leave Cornell. The salary offered
him is said to be the largest ever re
ceived by a rowing coach in the West.
California Is prepared to go the limit
if necessary to secure the best coach
ing material obtainable.
California is laying plans for an in
vasion of the East and will enter a
varsity eight oar crew In the Pough
keepsie regatta. And when California
sends a crew East it will send one that
has had the benefit of professional
coaching, not such a combination of
green though physically perfect ma
terial as was seit East by Stanford,
expecting to win and finishing at the
tail end In the intercollegiate regatta
of last June. If this is not California's
Intention then all signs fail. Oarsmen
on the Pacific Coast with the exception
of the University of Washington have
not felt the need of training under a
professional coach to compete with the
Eastern rivals, but the debut of Leland
Stanford in the intercollegiate regatta
last June was an eye opener.
The undergraduates at California are
enthusiastic over the project of sending
a crew to the Hudson regatta, but wiser
heads In the councils of the rowing, as
sociation appear to favor waiting a
year or two until the professional
coach has had a fair chance to put
PalifArntn'a hmiRA In Arlor
There is plenty of rowing spirit af
California and the material is said to
be of the best. With the right man in
charge, whether it is Hoyle or some
other Eastern expert, California hopes
to send an eight to the intercollegiate
regatta that will give all the other
crews on the Kudson all the racing they
can conveniently stand.

WILLARD'S STOCK RISING
McCarney's Story About McCarty
Being "Free and fntrammeled
. Son or Plains". Is Exploded ;
Kilbane Gives Programme
BY JAME9 H. CASS ELL."
Show me a baseball player who' is
not a fight fan, and I will Introduce
to you an oddity. The' average base
ball player follows as closely the per
formances of the boxing stars as he
does the statistics of rival batters or
pitchers.
Who Is it approaches the scorer's
box on a sultry Fourth of July after
noon with the query: "How's the fight
going?' The ball player. Whose voice
Is it which comes trickling over the
telephone wires on the night of any
big fistic affair with a request for the
result? The ball player. Who is It
who speaks with as much authority on
fistic doings as on the batting weak
ness of "Slugger" Mllligan? It's the
same old answer, the ball player.
Have you ever been a ringside spec
tator of a boxing encounter, ranging
from the most obscure amateur affair
to a championship struggle, without
rubbing elbows with an absorbed ball
player, or at least .counting a number
of them in your immediate vicinity?
It's a safe bet that you haven't, for
Mr. Ball Player is always there, when
ever the opportunity presents itself.
Walter McCredie, manager xf the
Portland Beavers, and "Dutch" Krue
ger, crack gardener of the same ag
gregation, are 'among the most rabid
fight fans on the Pacific Coast. It's
difficult for a bout to escape their no
tice, from a championship match at Los
Angeles or San Francisco during the
baseball season to the most remote
private affair which requires the re
quisition of an automobile to reach the
ring.
If diamond gossip is at low ebb at
baseball headquarters. Manager "Mac"
is always ready to talk boxing. He has
his boxing hobbies, along with every
other fan, and Jack Britton, the Chi
cago lightweight, tops the list of his
notables. "Mac" believes that Britton
is the king pin of the lightweights, and
the man who is certain to wear the
crown if he evades additional avoirdu
pois. Luther McCarty, the white heavy
weight champion, is another chap who
ranks high in the calendar. McCredie
saw the Nebraskan at San Francisco,
and was so much impressed with his
work that the Portland baseball man
unhesitatingly predicted, that he would
become the leader of the big fellows.
San Francisco is the Mecca of the
ball player fight fans during the dia
mond season. The wealth of four
round attractions, with the 10 and
20 -round affairs In the California
metropolis and across the bay in Oak
land cause many a man to break the
early-retiring rules of his club. Los
Angeles runs a close second, while
Sacramento, with its occasional stel
lar bills, removes much of the monot
ony from a series in that city.
"Why is it that so many baseball
men are interested in boxing?" Mc
Credie was asked.
"Why, isn't every man with red blood
in his veins interested in the sport?"
was his quick retort.
Billy McCarney's elaborate press
agent yarn concerning "Cowboy" Mc
Carty, the "free and untrammeled son
of the plains," has been "stilletoed" by
"inside info" from Ohio. 'Tis true that
the picturesque heavyweight champion
spent several years in the West, but it
is likewise true, according to a De
troit writer, that Luther employed
several years of his youth digging
ditches and cleaning sewers at Sidney,
which is a town in Northern Ohio.
One . day there came into a town in
Southern Ohio a big black-eyed chap
looking for his father. That chap was
Luther McCarty, and his father is a
traveling street faker, styling himself
"White Eagle." White Eagle was
traveling through Ohio with a troupe
of strong men and .women, snake
charmer and other vaudeville attrac
tions. He was selling "snake oil," a
preparation guaranteed to cure any
thing from toothache to the black
plague.
No sooner had McCarty ensconced
himself in, the pugilistic limelight than
it became public property that he had
a deserted wife and child in North
Dakota, his wife earning a living peel
ing potatoes in a restaurant.
But Luther is a good boy, as every
one will tell you back in his home
town of Sidney. ' Now that he has
money, he takes care of his wife and
child and contributes towards the sup- ,
port of his wife's family a3 well as his
own. !
T ..., .. TTIlhan. .at'. that a I-
through being a good fellow in the ;
ring. The featherweight champion, and I
he is a real champion, declares that
hereafter he is going after his man
from the tap of gong and will knock
out all opponents as quickly as his
skill and punching ability will permit.
The Clevelander took pity on several
recent opponents and. after demon
strating his superiority and ability to
lay his man cold at any moment, eased
up, refraining from inflicting unneces
sary punishment. This did not please
many of his audiences, who accused hizn
of stalling and faking.
Johnny made quick work of OIlie
Kirk at St. Louis, earning his J1000
guarantee in exactly three minutes and
30 seconds of milling. Kirk, who is a
136-pounder, and a good one at that
weight, made 122 pounds for Kilbane
and weakened himself to such an ex
tent that the champion toyed with htin.
At that he would have been extremely
lucky to stick 10 rounds under the most
auspicious circumstances.
Kirk is one of the boys Kilbane rated
as one of the serious contenders for ths
title.
Kilbane objects to the raising of the
featherweight limit by the New York
Commission from 122' to 125 pounds.
Johnny makes 122 pounds easily and by
keeping the maximum at that figure
keeps a number of good boys away
from the championship pie counter.
Chicago boxing people are waxing
enthusiastic over Jess Willard, the big
gest heavyweight of them all. They
claim that Jess has a better claim 10
both .the cowboy and heavyweight
crown than Luther .McCarty and a
number of people Ijave banded together
to boost Jess to the top.
Packey McFarland has undertaken
the task of Inoculating Willard with
some of the boxing germ, and this,
combined with his weight and size, is
expected ;o work havoc with Billy Mc
Carney's "big baby."
.
They make the same criticism of Wil
lard that they do of McCarty. namely,
that he is too good natured. . either
man is vicious enough to make a whirl
wind knockout scrapper of the Xeichel
type, even If both of them ire trotted
forth In much ihe same picturesque
wild and woolly West garb as was the
"Assassin."
Instead of wading into Palzer at Los
Angeles and finishing him in :lie
twelfth or thirteenth round, Luther
jabbed away at the helpless lowaa and
during this operation Joked at Palxer
and with the rlngsiders.
The diamond belt which Lut.ier Mc
Carty won at Los Angeles is the fourth
that Promoter McCarey has present: i
to winning scrappers. Tommy Burns
has one, Abe Attell has anot'ie", Wol
gast a third and McCarty the fourth.
Burns won his and the heavyweight
title from Marvin Hart it Naud Junc
tion, which later was consolidated with
Vernon, so far as management is concerned.
HUBBARD'S SCORE HIGH
REVOLVER EXPERT BREAKS
SEASOX RECORD WITH 2S6.
Mark Only Four Points Behind
World's Feat of 3 40 Performed
by Oeorge Armstrong.
W. H. Hubbard, representing the
Portland Revolver Club in the United
States Revolver Association's Winter
League, shot the highest score of the
season Monday night, scoring 236
points. This mark is within four points
of the world's record held by George
Armstrong, formerly of Portland, but
now a resident of Berkeley, Cal.
But for the illness of Hubbard, Hac
heney, Hanson and Sanders, crack shots
who have been unable to compete reg
ularly in the shoots of the season, Gov
ernor Abrahams is confident that Port
land would rank among the leaders in
the National revolver competitions.
These men are expected to compete in
the 11 remaining matches of the
schedule.
Portland lias been defeated only three
times thus, barring three matches from
which no returns have been received,
losing to St. Louis, Shellmound, of Oak
land, CaL, and the Capital team of
Washington. D. C. The defeated teams
are: Tacoma, Cincinnati, Belleville,
Warren, Dallas, Pittsburg and Denver.
The Denver team is rated as one of the
strongest in the league. .
George Armstrong, former captain of
the Portland team, who is making
Berkeley his home, holds the indoor
record for the 20, 30, 40 and 60-shot
events, and is tied with Lane, of New
York, for the. 25-shot number.
Captain Moore, one of the oldest
members of the Portland Revolver
Club, continues to shoot with the ac
curacy of his early days on the range.
Patrolman Evans, a new member, has
made a remarkable showing for a be
ginner. DRIVING CXVB STILL LIVES

BEST IN THE CIRCUIT.
- - A
ONE GETS FAT; OTHER THIN
Oilier Members of Winter Colony
Try Hand, but AH Fall to Stay
Longer Than a Day Both Are
Now "Hard as Nails."
If strenuous physical labor during the
months when the averago baseball
player is lounging about cigar stores
or billiard halls waging over the dia
mond battles of past seasons counts for
success, Ed Doty and Frank Eastley
will be championship pitchers in the
Northwestern League next season.
These Portland baseball worthies,
both rated among the best hurlers of
the Fielder Jones "Little A" circuit,
have been Juggling sacks of wheat
on a Portland dock, trucking grain
from box car to warehouse and from
warehouse to ship, ever since the close
of the 1912 season.
They are, to use a much-ahused ex
pression, hard as nails and healthier
than ever before in their lives and
they never shirk the call for meals and
are in as good condition as the av
erage athlete who enters tlys ring for
a gruelling boxing mill.
Other I'lo?;er Wenken.
Baseball players galore, attracted by
a baseball colony on the water front,
have approached the boss for a Job,
been directed to a truck and have es- .
sayed to qualify for the llnals in the
wheat tourney. Several of them lasted
only a few hours, resigning after a
few hours' arduous tussling with a
truck and the jute-inclosed grain had.
placed blisters on feet and hands. Oth
ers stuck manfully to the Job for a day,
only to turn a deaf ear to the alarm
the next morning to give a sorely mis
used body chance for much needed
rest. But Eastley and Doty are regu
lars and they expect that their unusual
Winter duties will give them strength
and endurance for "Iron Man" feats
during the 1913 baseball campaign.
Hard work has had a totally dis
similar effect upon the two men. True,
they are both in better condition than
ever before, but whereas Ed Doty, the
spitball artist, has lost 10 pounds in the
car-to-warehouse-to-ship process. East
ley has gained almost that number of
pounds. Doty has trouble keeping
down to good pitching weight in the
season, and is fat at the usual Spring
training call, while Eastley is of a
nervous temperament with a physique
which does not stand the combined
mental and physical strain. "Long
shoremanry" reduced Doty's poundage,
while -the hard work, regular ' hours,
and absence of worry built up Eastley.
Hotk Men Promoted. '
v;; Both men have graduated from the
truck to the scales, their work, to
gether with their intelligence, enabling
them to rise a notch higher in the
dock scale. Instead of the continual
marathoning from one end of the dock
to the other, with the frequent inva
sion of the holds of ships flying many
flags, tiiey spend the greater part of
the time weighing the truck loads of
grain as their less lucky mates wheel
it from the cars. But they manage to
engage in sufficient strenuousness to
keep them in the condition they
achieved after 10 weeks of trucking.
Nick Williams, manager of the Colts,
is another employe at the dock, but
he 13 engaged in clerical work, keeping
books, time, etc. It will be up to Nick
to hustle with . the other recruits to
tear off surplus fat at training camp,
while Eastley and Doty loaf about, do
ing just enough work to limber up
muscles and keep themselves on edge
for tha opening of the season.
JIcMlnnville College Wins.
M'MINNVILLE, Or, Jan. 11. (Spe
cial.) McMinnvilte College opened its
league basketball game with a double
