The Jefferson High School baseball
team, 1913 champions of the Portland
Jnterscholastic Leag:ue. has produced
fix players worthy of all-star positions
while the Lincoln. Washington and
Columbia squads will be represented In
the choices with one man each. There
'et remains one game to be played be
tween Washington and Lincoln, old
time athletic rivals, before the com
pletion of the schedule.
"Red" Watts, the sensational short
top of the Jefferson, easily defeated
Grebe. of Washington, the present
Jioiaer ior mis Honor. He is a .300
"hitter nnd his fielding was a feature In
all patties. In the estimation of Ed
f'ankin, official umpire; of the league,
"he well deserves a tryout with McCre
die's ball tossers. "I doubt very much
If our speed wonder, Justin Fitzgerald,
has anything on this boy Watts," re
marked Rankin recently.
Wolfer. at second, is in a class by
lilmself. The only player in the league
who could be considered is Schilt, of
Lincoln. Although Muirhead. first for
Columbia, is not a heavy hitter, his
fielding gives him an all-star berth.
The heavy hitting of Seeley. together
with his clever fielding, gives him lit
tle opposition.
The Williams-. Irvine battery for
Jefferson High, won all four games in
which they have taken part. In the
Washington game Williams won a 7 to
0 no-hit game.
St. Marie, behind the bat for Colum
bia, easily would be classed a star, but
he lacks the "pep."
Cook, of Lincoln, in the left field
garden is a dangerous man at the bat.
His batting average shows this. He is
also a good fielder. He has yet to mis
Judge a fly ball. Percy Robinson, one
or tne leaning Datters or the league to
day, plays superb ball and the remain
ing players fail to make him exert
himself for the all-star position. Pit
man, the only Washington High player
to make the all-star team, is the ricrht
field choice. His heavy hitting gives
him this position.
fat. Marie, of Columbia, and Schilt.
Lewis and Nixon, of Lincoln, are the
titlllty choices for catcher, infielder.
pitcher and fielder, respectively. Lew
is is an exceptionally line pitcher, but
his support has been lagged.
toacn rvcwell, of the Jefferson team,
who has charge of the team for the
first time, is being praised for his good
work in turning out a championship
team. He has worked hard day after
day and has succeeded In rounding out
one' of the fastest interseholastlc nines
in the state. Washington has been
handicapped through the loss of sev
eral of its best players.

Grecian Weapon Novice Hurls It
131 Keet and 2 Indie.
The shattering of the Coast inter
scholastic javelin record, with a throw
of 1S1 feet 2 inches, after picking up
the Grecian weapon for the first time
only five days prior to his remarkable
throw on May 24. was the feat per
formed by Johnny Telford, star pitcher
of the Washington High School. Tel
ford was the sensation of the recent
Portland interseholastlc meet. The
Northwest record prior to that time
was 143 feet 9 inches, held by Abraras
of Spokane.
Aside" from baseball, Telford has
never represented his school in athlet
ics. Following his daily practice re
cently, he imagined he would like to
see his team mates ' take part In the
schools annual inter-class track and
field competition. Being a good pitch
er, Telford thought he could hurl the
Javelin a good distance.
After getting permission from Virgil
Earl, his baseball coach, he took one
try. and 135 feet marked the exact
distance.
Coacli Veatch of the track squad was
the most surprised man in the city on
that day. He immediately had the
young phenom out for the remaining
few days of practice, entering him in
the javelin event. His taking part in
the Portland interseholastlc meet
marked his debut into track and field
competition.
'I was surely surprised when I threw

a show to throw it any distance worth
" iiii' lueaiiuiuns, said ueiford. "The
only reason that I wanted to try and
throw the weapon was the fact that I
pitch baseball, and I wanted to see
how much harder It was, and I am glad
1 tried, for I was rewarded."
Sporting Sparks
THE New York ball club and the
National Commission lost their
suit against a motion picture house for
taking pictures of the world's series
without paying for same. Magistrate
Butts ruled that ball players are pub
lic persons and that photographers
have a right to snap them.
s
"Iron Man" Joe McGinnity, of Ta
coma, has pitched in 98 Innings this
year, or more than twice as many as
any other pitcher on his club. His
record is almost one-third of the Ta
coma games. He ranks second to
Schmutz for control, walking only one
man a game.
J. Barnes, professional golfer of the
Tacoma club, circled the nine holes on
the Spokane course in 34 strokes on
his way home from the Butte meet,
W'here he won the open event. The
former Spokane record was 36, held by
Jack Doran.
A competent New York critic says
that Joe Jeannette is all in as a fighter
and that he would prove easy picking
for Sam Langford now. Jeannette has
been in the game for many years and
constant training has "dried him out."
Martinoni. of the Tnrtir,,i
pitching corps, has a remarkable rec
ord of low average hits to the game
thus far. Belfor1 leno ths 1 1..

Howard Mundorff, the San Francisco

Lewis of Sacramento, Howard and

Johnston of San Francisco leads the

Page of Los Angeles is the leading run
getter, with S9 to his credit.
Coy, Maggart and Lewis are the
leading home run-hitters. Coy ha vine-
driven out eight circuit-cleaners.
As a team Los Angeles leads the
league in batting, San Francisco stand
ing second and Oakland third. Sacra
mento and Venice occupy the last two
positions, with Portland fourth. If
the Beavers had the Los Angeles or
San Francisco outfield to batter in
runs, McCredie's men would likely be
leading the league now Instead of

The Chapman Grammar school baseball team, winner of the 1913 championship. Is one of the best well bal
anced teams that the league has ever produced. The nine went through the entire season without a single
defeat, winning 12 straight games. Harpar, who Is catcher on the team, is declared to be without an equal.
In a recent game he split his linger, but this failed to keep him from taking part In the final championship
game. In which his playing was of high order. The Chapman school Is located directly opposite the Port
land baseball grounds, and whenever tho Portland teams are playing it is a safe bet that a majority of the
school's players are watching the big leaguers to gain the many points of the same.

KORES WINS FANS
Clouting Shortstop Also Proves
Worth as Fielder.
ERRORS ARE NOT FEARED
Stout-Hearted Player Tries for Ev
erythlng Youth Is Ono or His
Main Assets Work With Bat Is
Noticeable From tlio Start.
Of the strange athletes on the Port
land Coast , League ball club not one
has fallen down on advance notices.
Despite the fact that the Beavers have
been in the cellar most of the year,
local fans are well satisfied with the
new twirlers West, Hagerman, Krause
and James and with the new infield
ers Derrick, Kores and McCormick.
But in all that galaxy of constella
tions, none shines niore brilliantly
than Arthur Kores, s. s., which stands
for "some shortstop." Portland won in
the draft for Kores last Fall and se
cured him from Pes Moines, in the
Western League. McCredie can thank
his lucky stars.
Kores has been batting around the
.300 mark ever since winning for him
self a regular berth, and, contrary to
spring notices, his fielding is sensa
tlonal to the extreme. The Dutchman
makes more errors than some infield
ers, but that is because he goes after
chances that few shortstops would
tackle. Last week he shone brilliantly
in nearly every game.
The newcomer is only a youngster
in the game. Although 24 year? old,
he has been playing ball only three
years. In 1910 he played first base
for Racine, in the Wisconsin-Minnesota
League for a month. In 1911 hi
went to Des Moines, In the Western
League, and held down a third-base
Job, and last year he batted .298 for
the same club at shortstop. He began
at Austin College, Texas, as a pitcher,
and has also played outfield.
Kores' excels in other forms of ath
letics. He is one of the greatest gym
nasts in the country. His home is at
Milwaukee and he is married.

Secretary T. Morris Dunne, of the
Pucific Northwest Association, an
nounces that Harry Reed and Tommy
McKevitt, two Spokane Amateur Ath
letic Club boxers, will be suspended for
boxing with Willie Ritchie, lightweight
champion.
"The amateur rules clearly say that
any amateur appearing on a pro
gramme with a professional shall be
suspended, explains Dunne. "There
seems to be no doubt that these boys
boxed with Ritchie, committing a
flagrant violation of the rules. There
is too iruch of a tendency on the part
of some clubs to overlook the amateur
rules and I think that for the good of
amateurism this practice should be
stopped."
The registration committee, of which
Mr. Dunne is chairman, has jurisdiction
in the matter. The other members are
Goldsmith of Seattle and Campbell of
Spokane The duration of the suspen
sion is a matter for the committee to
decide, but it is not likely that these
boys will appear in the row Wow
meet of this month.
