DEVLIN ONLY BOSS
OF COAST TO PLAY
Other League Managers Will
Direct Their Teams From
Seat on Bench.
TWO CLUBS AFTER KAFORA
State League and his purchase shows
that Devlin Joes not consider ieu r.i
lor strong.
McCredlo Thinks Ixber Will Make
Second Hal Chase Van Howley
. Not to Join Oaks Deal for
Two Beavers Completed.
BY BOSCOE PAWCETT.
Unless all sigms fail the Pacinc Coast
League will have only one playing
manager in 1914, Arthur Devlln-new
boss of the Oakland Commuters. Dev
lin expects to play at Jhe second sack,
but the ex-New York star has never
played the keystone and there Is a
strong likelihood that even Devlin will
adorn the bench after the first few
weeks of the season, if not before.
Walter McCredie, manager of the
Portland champs, was an outfielder in
his day. leading the Coast League for
a couple of seasons. But Walt forsook
the box scores as a regular about four
years back.
Harry Wolverton anchored himself
at third base for Oakland for two sea
sons, with Gus Hetling on the bench,
but Harry went to the New York Amer
icans in 1912 and when he returned
last Spring to the management of the
Sacramento Solons, he was as fat as a
Chicago Alderman and as slow as a
rheumatio tortoise.' So Harry stuck
to the bench along with McCredie.
Dillon Also Sits Down.
Last year marked also the retire
ment of Pop Dillon, of Los Angeles.
Dillon went back to first base In quite
a number of games aJid wreaked ter
rific havoc with his club as a pinch hit
ter, but Pop gave up the regular guar
dianship of the initial cushion to Char
ley Moore.
Happy Hogan, of Venice, caught 16
games, but only because his regulars
were sadly crippled. Hap Quit doing a
regular backstopping job two or three
seasons ago.
Del Howard came West to San Fran
cisco in the Fall of 1912 as nrst-sacker,
but, when Del was named manager last
Spring, the 34-year-old vet also showed
his preference for the knothole row.
First McCarl was tried out and, when
he failed through lack of experience
and was' shunted to Spokane, Howard
tarried at first only long enough to
sign Downs from the American Asso
ciation. -' -v.. Howard GIve l Field. -
All told Howard played 50 games at
first, McArdle 128. Downs 30. and Mc
Carl 13. Howard has already an
nounced himself through as a regular.
so. as stated in the opening paragraph,
Dvlin will be the sole exponent of the
field general.
Devlin's regular berths are at third
and at first bases,, but. with Hetling
and Ness on the holdover list, there 13
absolutely no loophole through which
the big Irishman could wiggle into the
box scores at those stations. Cook,
too, 6t short is a certainty, but there
exists a vacancy at second by virtue
of Bill Leard's sale to Venice.
Leard's disposal offers a peculiar an
gle. Two years ago Bill was a star
at the keystone for the champions,
leading the league in the base-stealing
department, in which the Oaks are
weak. Last season Leard hit only
.224, but he, fielded well, covered acres
of ground and stole 70 bases.
Internal Strife Cause.
Devlin, on the other hand, will hit
50 points better than Leard, but he
will steal closer to seven bases than
TO and will not cover nearly so much
territory as Leard in the field. Internal
strife rather than playing class must
have actuated the transfer.
Sacramento has Joined Portland In
tha ouest for Catcher Kafora, drafted
by Pittsburg from the Butte team of
the Union Association. uanny snay
recently visited Sacramento and sung
his praises to Wolverton. Kafora may
be retained by the Pirates, but if sent
back to the minors. Portland and Sac
ramento, and perhaps some other AA
league clubs, will have to draw for his
services.
And now comes the report over the
telegraph wires that our lanky friend,
Dan Howley. is not to join Oakland
after all. Portland sold the big catcher
to Philadelphia one year ago and he
was traded by the Phillies to Montreal.
When he refused to report, owing to a
refusal to grant his salary demand,
Montreal disposed of him to Oakland.
Whether the sale was fictitious and
announced simply to drive Howley into
line Isn't certain. At any rate, Mont
real's most recent pronunciamento is to
the. effect that the staccato Irishman
is not coming to the Coast.
"Walter Johnson, the best pitcher in
the American League," says the head
line in a Chicago newspaper. Trust the
Windy City newspapers to spring the
really sensational scoops.
W. W. McCredie yesferday received
the final papers binding the purchase
of Pitcher Peet and Catcher. Haworth
from the Pendleton club of the West-
! ern Tri-State League.

Coasters, predicts that Elmer Lober

,- Corvallla Dr. Stewart and Dean
Walker Portland VlHttora.
Jess Garrett, well-known Portland
Coast and Northwestern league pitcher,
will coach the Oregon Agricultural
College nine again in the Spring. Dr.
E. J. Stewart arrived rn Portland yes
terday and the Corvallia athletic
director made public this announce
ment.' Dr. Stewart admitted also that the
arrangements for holding the annual
Washington-Oregon Aggie football
game were completed. Graduate Mana
ger Horr, of Washington, will be In
Portland either today or tomorrow to
sign contracts and dispose of the final
details.- The game will be played in
Albany October 31.--This likely will
throw the Oregon-Oregon Aggie game
to Portland.
As another matter of Importance, Dr.
Stewart said that the Aggie board of
control had decided not to engage
"Dad" Moulton as track coach next
Spring. Coach Moulton resigned at
Stanford the other day after a Ions
tenure and had expressed a desire to
come North, as he helped out at Cor
vallis last Spring.
"We decided that while our finances
are In fine condition,, we could hardly
afford to give 'Dad' jvxoulton his price,"
explained Dr. Stewart. "I likely will
handle the cinder squad myself, al
though I may hit upon a coach later
on."
This will be Garrett's second season
as basebal coach at the Oregon Agri
cultural College. Jess had wonderful
success in 1913, defeating Oregon
three games In four for the state
championship and tying with Washing
ton and Oregon for the conference
title.
'I haven't signed yet, but there will
be no hitch there," said the ex-Portland
favorite last night at baseball
headquarters, where he is employed as
curator over a flock of wild' pocket
billiard tables. "When my contract
expires there, after the close of the
schedule in June. I expect to have my
arm back in trim and will again essay
the mound."

1 SPORT- NEWS POT FOURR!
Famous Shortstop-ex-Manager Not
to Meet Ebbets Murphy to Try
to Arrange Trade for Some
of Cincinnati's Players.
CHICAGO. Dec. 20. Joe Tinker de
clined to commit himself when in
formed today that the Cincinnati and
Brooklyn clubs finally had agreed on
his transfer to Brooklyn. HQ was told '
that the clubs, through their presi
dents, had decided that he was to get
a HO, 000 bonus when he signed with
Brooklyn. Tinker said he would make
no decision until he had been notified
officially of the completion of the deal.
The famous shortstop-ex-manager
said he did not expect to meet Ebbets
at Indianapolis tomorrow, as he planned
to do, unless he was again asked by
the Brooklyn president.
President Murphy, of the Chicago Na
tionals, expects to go to Cincinnati to
morrow to discuss a possible Cub-Red
deal Monday with Manager Herzog.
By the terms of the agreement
reached between Ebbets and Herrmann,
Tinker is to go to Brooklyn for Jlo.OOO.
In return, the Brooklyn club is to pay
Tinker $10,000 after signing with that
club.
The agreement further provides that
the Cincinnati club is to have an option
on Pitcher Vingling for 8500 and on.
Outfielder Moran for J1000. Second
Baseman Egan. of the Cincinnati club,
was transferred to Brooklyn for J5000.
The option on Yingling and Moran
is to hold until January 7.
PRESIDENTS COMPLETE DEAL
Cincinnati to Gain Two Men and
$7500 for Tinker and Others.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 20. The contro
versy over Tinker, between the Brook
lyn and Cincinnati clubs of the National
League, was settled at a conference be
tween President Ebbets. of Brooklyn,
and President Herrmann and Secretary
Stephens, of the local club, here today.
It is almost certain that these deals
for Yingling and Moran will be closed.
It was said that final arrangements
for their, transfer would have been
made today but for the fact that both
Ebbets and Herrmann desired to con
fer with their managers before abso
lutely closing the deal. Ebbets said he
would confer with -Manager- Robinson
as soon as he arrived home and Herr
mann will talk the matter over with
Herzog at the National baseball meet
ing here in January.
If both clubs exercise their optionB
the Brooklvn club obtains Tinker and
Egan for $30,000, $20,000 going to Cin
cinnati and $10,000 to Tinker for sign
ing. Cincinnati obtains Yingling and
Moran for $12,500.
Considering the money subtractions,
the total trade therefore would be that
Cincinnati will give Tinker and Egan
to Brooklvn for Ying.ing and Moran
and $7500, Tinker getting $10,000 from
Brooklyn out of the deal.
The conference lasted almost three
hours, and at its conclusion Messrs.
Rhbets and Herrmann as well as Sec
retary Stephens, stated that they were
entirely satisfied with the arrangement.
Stephens represents that portion of the
board of directors of the Cinoinnatl
club which last week disapproved the
Tinker deal as consummated after the
National League meeting in New York.
Henry to Coach Amherst.
AMHERST. Dec. 20. John Henry,
catcher of the Washington American
League baseball team, was appointed
coach of the Amherst hockey team to
night. Henry, who was graduated from
Amherst in 1810, was prominent as a
hockey player while at college.
Wheeler Becomea Manager.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 20. Eddie
Wheeler, a member of the South Bend
baseball team last season, signed a
contract here today to manage the
rc-anri Fnrks team of the Northern
League during the season of 1914.
Bob McAil Inter
ALTHOUGH Bob McAllister was not
given a very rushing send-off
when he made his professional
debut some months ago In San Fran
cisco, the East has taken him up quite
generously. The fans like his style,
in sneaking of his :rz?V-r:m':Z'i-:'''y::--:-i
appearance against
"Young Mike" Don.
ovan a few days
ago, one of the New
York sport writers
says:
"Although he
failed to put the
necessary steam
Into his punches to
knock his opponent
to the mat, "Bob"
McAllister, of San
Francisco, won his
wav liilw r
r , I. IC-ur Turk fans for the
artistic manner in which he outpunched
Mike Donovan, a local middleweight,
in the ten-round main event of the
Fairmont Club last night. '
"Having not so long ago graduated
from the amateur ranks, it might have
been imagined that his work would be
rather crude in places. However, he
not only proved himself to be an ag
gressive two-handed fighter, but was
quick as a flash to tak.e advantage of
all opportunities furnished by his op
ponent. '
"The only fault which could be
found with the lad was his lack of
punch and his way of lashing out of
the breaks.
"The Californian s persistent left Jab
was a continual source of trouble.
Bob caught his opponent in the side
with the punch almost as many times
as he tried, but at that the latter was
scarcely marked when he left the
H In McAllister's Inability to show the
punch lay the "rub." while he was in
West. The boy had the build and was
quick as lightning at all times, but
through his first professional bouts he
failed to deliver the required amount
of steam to stretch out an opponent.
While Hermann thought Tinker a
lemon, or something akin, the star ex-
manager has taken on a price which
will very soon put him on a piano
with some of the horses of the turf.
Brooklyn offered $30,000 for him. Sev
eral of the big horse sales of the year
brought only a little bit more than
that-
While the six-day bike race was on
some fan climbed up to. one of the
galleries with a megaphoae and an
nounced that to date 739 overcoats and
18 watches had been reported miss
ing. While this was far behind last
year's record, it relieved some anxiety.
If the citizens of old had been able
to see such explorers as Balboa, Co
lumbus, Cortez and De Sota assembled
at one meeting there would have been
an extra volume to the United States
history. Recently when some of the
world's most famous explorers and
ivory hunters gathered at the National
League meeting nothing was said.
Some of them were: Bill Murray, Pi
rate scout; Kinsella, McGraw gumshoe
ist: Arthur Irwin, Yankee scout, and
Billy Gilbert, Brooklyn bushwhacker.
The yearly gathering of solid bone by
these men reaches an immense total.
-
The question of whether to play six
or seven men on the Eastern college
hockey teams threatens to break up
the National Hockey Association. It
stands seven men at present, but some
of the colleges declare the game to
be faster and furnish better chance for
development if there are only six-men
teams.
- Subscriber writes and wants to know
the number of deaths from aeroplane
and airship accidents in the year 1913
to date. That's about the most stu
pendous thing we have been called on
for this year, and the sporting depart
ment does get some corkers.
The Meadow Brook hounds chased
a fox bv the name of Old -Chilton
for years, until the fox died of' old
age. Now the animal has come back
to life as the ghost of the old-timer,
and the hunters are busy chasing Chil
ton's specter.
