J OW to catch In 108 different poses' is the subject of an Interesting: motion picture scenario written by that clever racon-r.-. teur, Gub Fisher, backstop on the Port x ..land champion ball club of the Pacific Coast League. Society learns many of its Maxixes, Argentines and other intricate terpsi chorean steps through the "movies;" i Parisian fashions are being exploited .-..to expectant maids and matrons on the aluminum screen; biology students are brought next door to the most fastidi ous germs without so much as offend ing the bugs. So, why not baseball? At The Oregonians behest. Catcher - Tisher, formerly of the Cleveland and New York American League corps and " unanimously chosen as the all-star re ceiver of the Coast League in 1913, posed for a series of motion photo graphs at the studio of the American Lifeoirraph Company at 1033 East Yarn S"M11 street. The "movies," with Operator Moomav. turnlng the crank, caught Uui in evr . conceivable pose as he maneuvi through the movements of squatt.. behind his batter, signalling the pilcii- er, receiving the ball and returning same to the hurismith. Many Photos Required. . One hundred and elsht separate ..photos were required. Think of It! Any aspiring young busher' who couldn't learn correct catching form after poring over 10S reproductions of continuity surely never would become a star receiver. B'roni a practical standpoint, how ever, it is impossible to handle 10S photos In the newspaper, and as only every fifth reproduction is a perfect ' photograph. The Oregonian this morn ji. ing shows only every fifth or sixth pic . turt, picking out the best sections of .' film. The rhythm and continuity of motion ""still remains, so If you are interested : in what happens behind the windpad ..in big league games, study the "movies." To accompany the pictures. Catcher i Kisher has prepared a few hints for jv youngsters. -,, "First of all." explains the star re ceiver, "a catcher must possess three j;. things plenty of nerve, good sound . judgment and a good arm. . ,, "The arm is most essential of all, ,,.. for a backstop might have the othef (l . two attributes, but If unable to nab ,base stealers, he might as well retire. A catcher should never wind up to !n throw, else his peg will arrive too late. v Mand Clone to Batter. t "When about to receive a- ball that .' Is to bo thrown immediately, al ways try to get it on the right side. Take one ehoit step with the left foot, draw ' ' ing the arm back at the same time, but not very far. A snap throw Is the best . to first or third, but to second base the ball should be sent straight overhead. "Stand close to the batter. It helps steady the pitcher and aids him In placing the ball at the desired height. "Be careful to hide signals from the opponents. If the hands are used, squat -' low, body bent forward from the hips, r--, weight on toes and knees close to- ; gether. Then snap the signs so that u-il'our pitcher and a couple of lnfielders j; Kt it and make sure that your knees " shut off the view from the opposition ' 5coachers. "Sometimes the catchers give the ' signals with their feet and then con ji.fuse the opposition by using the fi'tfingers. iii "Keep close tab on the bases. If a --."throw Is wide don't reach out for It, f---'out jump, and thus always be in posi-'--tlon to throw. Never try to catch a -""man off second with tliird occupied un-'C-Tess in extraordinary cases. a runner, who has taken too big '" a lead, is caught between bases and I. .stops to see which way you are going tor throw, don't throw at all but chase -tcut after him. "Practice on high fowls and learn to rr:nap off the mask the instant the ball ticks the bat. Your teammates will tell you if it is impossible to make the catch. "A catcher ought to learn a batter's weakness in two games so study the . stickerB all the time. Don' Fool Umpire Advlee. "Signal for waste balls, that Is, balls the batter cannot reach, only when you Vfeel reasonably sure that a steal or T- hit-and-run play is contemplated. Be careful not to get your pitcher in a hole. That Is where good Judgment comes In. "Finally, do not attempt to fool th 3 umpire by "pulling" the ball back over the plate, for that Is a "bush" trick. r and does not nag the pitcher. A cheery Irword here and there of times is the turning point of a whole game." isow, a little more about the motion picture process. The "movie" machine that caught Backstop Fisher at his work, shot 18 pictures per second. This would mean 1.775.483 photographs were the Moo maw mortar gun to be aimed at "Rip" Hagerman running from home to first. So "Rip" will not be included In this symposium. The secret of the machine is a small cam wheel, which closes a shutter and moves the film the length of one pic ture, all In one-tenth of a flea's wink. This cam is Robert Edison's proudest patent, the one around which the en- tire motion - picture world revolves. The Kisher pictures were taken in doors at the Lifeograph Studio. This was made possible by an immense bank of arc lights. Each arc light shed in the neighborhood of 1000 candlniower All told, the lighting battery comprised emm lamps,, eacn mado up or six arcs, or 48,000 candiepower. This artificial light is used in the manufacture of all motion pictures which have an indoor setting because in that manner shadows can be over come even in daylight. M'hen Fisher finally had rehearsed through hlg stunt and Erve Higgin botham had pitched a hole in a nearby wall on a wild heave, the film was tak CONTRACTS REVISED BY NATIONAL COMMISSION Governing Body Takes Hand in Making Changes as Offset to Efforts of Players' Fraternity. N' OT all the changes in the major league baseball contracts for 1914 were made at the request of Baseball Players' Fraternity. T tlonal Commission, after dismiss. .. t:io delegation of players at the recent Cin cinnati meeting, did a little revision on its own account. There Is nothing det rimental to the Interests of the players in the new contracts. As a matter of. fact, the Commission took steps to fur ther safeguard the Interests of the athletes, most especially as to side agreements and phases of contracts not on the regular printed form. Many of the cases coming before the commission each year involve side agreements between club owners and players. These have been the bases of many disputes. Players misunderstood the intention of the magnates frequent ly while the club owners, owing to the rush of business in the Summer, evi dently overlooked some of their prom ises. A never-ending stream of liti gation in the supreme court of baseball followed. Warning la Prominent. The old contracts provided no blank space for clauses other than those on the printed form. The new ones have a sizeable blank in which bonus agree ments and such can be recorded. At the top of the new contract is printed in red nk a warning to players and club presidents that the commission demands all side agreements be made a part of the regular document. If they are not, and it is proved to the commis sion that somebody was putting some thing over, the club owner is to be fined $500 and the player made a free agent. The new reserve clause instead of naming a certain per cent of the salary as a return for option on the succeeding season, names a specific sum. Perfectly good attorneys had voiced opinions that the old reserve clause was binding, "but it was deemed advisable to change the form and take no chances should the Federal League unexpectedly develop enough strength to be bothersome. A feature retained In trie new con tract is clause 9, which makes It obli gatory upon the player to get written permission of the club owner before he can play indoor baseball, outdoor base ball, basketball, soccer football or simi lar sports during the off-season. This action became necessary because cer tain players for the sake of a paltry sum endangered their baseball useful ness by playing indoor baseball and basketball in the "Winter months. Case la Point Cited. A ease in point is that of Arnold Hauser. This young man, one of the best prospects in the National League, twisted his knee and was of no service to his club all during the season of 1913. The Cardinals had invested a lot of money and instruction in liauser, carry ing him along when he was a green kid and as soon as he reacheu the point of stardom he was injured. It is doubtful if he ever recovers, although he says the season's rest has mended the dam aged member. There were Instances in. major league baseball last season when magnates by inference and round-about methods led the players to believe there was no such thing as a probationary contract binding for the first 45 days of the sea son. This contract was devised for the double purpose of not working a hard ship on the minor leagues in event a man Is turned back and to give the athlete an opportunity to collect on his expertness his first season in the majors. Difficulty la Obviated. Members of the Sit- Louis American League Club had complained bitterly they were not tendered the probation ary contract and at least two players on the Browns went through 1813 with out the chance of collecting their true worth, after they nad demonstrated it during the first 45 days. To obviate this difficulty the new contracts are issued with the proba tionary document printed on yellow paper and attached (irmly to the regu lar contract printed on white paper, with two staples. The same notice about careful reading Is printed on the probationary as on the regular. The new contract as quoted dlractly from tho National Commission lorm follows: 1. The club screes to pay the player for the season of. 1914. beginning oa or about the 14th day of April, 1914, and ending on or about the 15th day of October, 1914, a en from the cun.era and into the devel oping room. Here it was rolled on racks which had all the ear-marks of a clothes drying rack, kch rack capable of holding almost an entire scene from an average play. The entire film was then placed in the developer, and after folowing the ordinary process was dried and came out with all the characteristics of the kodak film. Like the kodak, any number of c tures can. be made from the oris.nal negative. The American Lifeograph Bets films out with almost the speed with which a newspaper produces pho tographs of current events. salary at the rate of $1800 for such sea son, and aa additional sum at the rate of 60O for such season, said additional sura being: in consideration til' the option herein reserved to tha club .i clause lO hereof; said addlUonal sum t. be paid whether said option is exercised or not, making the total compensation to the player for the season herein contracted for $2400. All payments to be made as follows: In semi-monthly installments after the commencement of the period covered by this contract, unless this contract shall be terminated by the" club while the player is "abroad" with the club for the purpose of playing games, in which event the install, ment then falling due shall be paid on the first week-day after the return "home" of the club. Provided, however. thn tr h. player is not In the service of the club for the entire season, then he shall receive uu proportion or trie season's salary, or or me montniy salary multiplied by six stated in this contract, as the number of nays of actual employment bears to the number of days in the season or the num ber of days in the season plus the addi tional number of days for which the player is held, provided he be not held more than six months from the beginning of the season 9. The player will not. either during the playing season, or before the commence ment or after the close thereof, participate in any exhibition baseball games, indoor baseball, basketball or football, unless the written consent of the club has first been given to him. How the Reserve Clause Works. 10. The player will, at the option of the club, enter Into a contract for the succeed ing season upon all terms and conditions of this contract, save aa to - clauses 1 and JO. and the salary to be paid the player in the event of such renewal shall be the same as the total compensation for the player In clause 1 hereof, unless it be in creased or decreased by mutual agreement. The old contract follows: 1. That In consideration of the faithful performance by the party of the second part of the conditions, covenants, under takings and promises hereinafter set forth, including the option in the first party to terminate this contract in accordance with clause 8 hereof, the said party of tha first part agrees to pay unto the party of the second part the following compensation: For the season of 1014. beginning on or about the 14th day of April, 1014. and end ing on or about the 15th day of October, 1014, at the rate of $2400 for such season. The compensation of the party of the second part stipulated . In this contract shall be apportioned aa fallows: Seventy five per cent for services rendered and 25 per cent thereof for and In consideration of the player's covenant to sanction and abide by his reservation by the party of the first part for the season of 1915, unless released before Its termination in accord ance with the provisions of this contract. The party of the second part shall be en titled to and shall be paid the full con sideration named herein in regular semi monthly. Installments, unless released prior to the termination of this contract in ac cordance with section 8 hereof, regardless to whether or not the contracting club ex ercises ths privilege of reserving the part of the second part for the season of 1910. First Party May Consent. 2. Said party of tho second part agrees to perform for party of the first part, and for no other party during the period of this contract (unless with the consent of said first party), such duties pertaining to the exhibition of the game of baseball as may be required of him by said party of the first part, at such reasonable times and places as said party of the first part may designate, for the American League season for the year 1H14. beginning on or about the 14th day of April. 1914, and end ing on or about the 16th day of October. 1014. unless sooner terminated in accord ance with the further provisions thereof. 8. It Is further understood and agreed that the party of the first part mav. at any time after the beginning and prior to the completion of the period of this contract, give the party of the second cart 10 davs" written notice to end and determine all Its liaDiilties ana obligations under this con tract. In which event all liabilities and Ob ligations undertaken by said party of the first part, in this contract, Bhall at once cease and determine at tho expiration of si a 30 days: the said party of the second part shall thereupon be also freed and discharged from obligation to render serv ice to said party of the first part. It will cost money for a club owner to offer a bonus and then try to run out of it as has been done in the past. Here is what appears at the top of the new form of contract Issued for the major leagues, and It Is printed In red ink so nobody can miss It: Important notice to players and club pres idents Every player before signing a major league contract should carefully scrutinize the same to ascertain whether all of the conditions agreed upon between the player and elub president have been Incorporated therein, and if any have been omitted the player should insist upon having all the terms, conditions, promises and agreements Inserted in the contract before he signs the same. If at any time, as a result of official investigation, it is ascertained that an agreement of any kind between a major league club president and ' a player is not fully set forth In the players regular con- . : 1 t tract, or made a part thereof, then a pen alty shall be Inflicted against the club vio lating this provision In the sum of 300. the same to be paid into the treasury of the league of which the contracting club Is a member, and sa'ld contract shall be null and void, and the player unconditionally released. x.

"We are proceeding; on our way complacently." said President Dugr dale, of the Seattle baseball club, "and will be there with the bells when April 14 arrives. I look forward to a grood season, and an exceptionally close struggle for the pennant. Seattle will open the training; season with About 30 players. Later on It will be necessary to cut this number to 18 in order to get within the prescribed number.

Conley, Wasley and Tognerlo are the most promising candidates for tnese positions, but it la an open com petition, and Manager Raymond will have to sit as judge. "Seattle should be strong this com ing season behind the bat, with Cad man, Wally, Huhn and Edwards to draw from. I expect that we will be all right in the pitching department, especially If Al Gipe la right in his Judgment that his arm is back in shape. He Is a grand pitcher when right. Weiser Dell looks good for the coming season, and I am considerably encouraged over the reports that J have received recently concerning sev eral of our young pitchers. We have a young fellow named Walter Malls, whose home is in Oakland. If he does not make some of the candidates hus tle for reg-ular jobs I shall miss my guess. Al Bonner should prove the man we have been seeking to take a regu lar turn In the box along with Gipe and Dell. If Charlie Fullerton should return we will be well fixed for the race. Irrespective of whether the 'fu ture greats' come through as expected. I would give considerable to get Ed Kelly back from the Boston Americans, but I have a feeling in my heart that no such luck will come our way.

Spangler Thinks League Will Win Good Rating That the Western Trl-State, now hav rng the trials and tribulations of any new league, eventually will become a nrst-class baseball organization Is the opinion of L. A. Spangler, who just re turned from a tour of the towns In the league. He said: , "The trouble in the past has been that the men who were In charge had not learned by practical experience the ins and outs which really make the suc cess of the game.' "This, of course, was no real fault of theirs. The conditions vary and nat urally they could not be expected to have everything right on the dot. "For the size of the town and judg ing by the performances of the past, the men that started that league had the courage and determination of a De Soto or a Ponce de Leon. "One mistake was their schedule. An example was the section of the play plan -which had Boise jumping from home to North Yakima, a tour from one end of the league's map to the other. "After Boise had played the game there, it was forced to return all the way to La Grande, passing up Walla Walla and Pendleton on the road. Nat urally the teams were forced to follow the jumps with a result that all had more carfare to pay than was neces sary." All the towns show Interest, accord ing to Spangler. Pendleton has not been as responsive as It -might have been, but with the Mayor of the town at the head, it should Improve. Mayor Matlock, of Pendleton, con siders the baseball proposition a matter of civic pride. He declares that the club will be kept up. If It loses money all season. The league may see a still further re organization before the season opens. Lewiston is anxious to become a mem ber and in the event .that the league is Increased to a six-team organiza tion, this city likely will become a member.

Idaho- defeated Washington State College In one of the hardest con tested basketball games ever played on the home floor. Idaho took the lead In the beginning and held the edge on the visitors throughout the game. - Washington State seored most ly on free throws, Idaho easily playing the best ball. The last part of the game was fast and rough, with a majority of fouls being called on Idaho. Gray, for Idaho, was a surprise, as this was the first game in which he has figured as an important player. Loux was the star of the game. Sampson's dribbling was a feature of the game, while Moss played excellent ball. At the end the score stood 27 to 23 in Idaho's favor.

ACHES AMD PAINS EASY Rubbers Have Plenty or Woes at Time of Spring Training From All Player, but Pitchcra Require Jlost AVork. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31. Perhaps' one of the most precious things inside of a ball park is a player's arm. It is undoubtedly a player's biggest asset, and is guarded and cared for like a young baby. Bach club hires a trainer whose principal duty Is to see that said arm is freed of aches and pain.s and is in condition to slain a baseball about the field. This Mr. Pitching Arm is subject to all sorts r,f complaints and gets out of whack every little while. So it is that Denny Carroll,, of San Francisco: Doc Schmieder, of Portland: Si-otty Finley, of Ios Angeles; "Shine." of Venice, and Burke, of Sacramento, tind plenty of employment as trainers and rubbers in the Coast League. They nave their hands full, especially in Spring training, when aches and pains are common complaint, and then when the season gets under way they are continually busy In keeping the kinks out of the pitchers' arms. The other players Io not bother them much ex cept in case of a sprained ankle or an injury to hands or feet on the diamond. All players' arms are subject to go wrong. Take Howard Mundorft three or four years ago when he was with the Seals. He boasted of a strong wing and thought that it did not need care and attention. Accordingly he would play in the breese while wearing a wet shirt. The rtsult was that a year later JIundorff found that he had contracted a cold in his pitching mem ber and had what is known as a "dead" arm. It took months of treatment to bring that arm around and you cav bet that the little right fielder takes jo more chances. After practice on a wurm day he hikes to the clubhouse and changes undershirts before ho goes into a game. Also lie wears an extra sleeve uver his right arm on and oft the ticld. Corbaa Haa Iflxtra Sleeve. Itoy Corhan. the shortstop, has an arm that makes the players envious and he sees to it that it gets the best of attention. Mrs. Corhan has made him an extra sleeve of red flannel and Koy Is never without it cased on his right whip. Jimmy Johnston is an other who has his right wing bundled up at all times. He believes In keep ing the valuable arm away from the wind and as warm as possible. The pitchers are the real bugs with their salary-earners. Charley Fan ning is a snap-ball pitcher that is, he pitches from his elbow and he has a lot of trouble with that member. On a cold day "Skeeter" wouldn't think of stepping into the box without first rubbing olive oil on his arm to keep It warm. Orvie Overall takes a healthy wind up and his complaint, like the majority of pitchers, lies In the shoulder. His shouder stiffens and requires a lot of hard rubbing by Doc Carroll. Lefty Leifleld is a "free" pitcher, tt is little effort or strain on his south paw to get the ball up to the plate and he requires less attention than any of the Seal hurlers. Chloroform Dajnagtea AVInar. Hub Pernoll has a cross-fire which puts the strain on his back. The nerve from his shoulder extends to the spine and the southpaw has his troubles a-plenty. Jess Baker's left shoulder was al ways out of condition. A cord would be thrown out of place quite frequent ly and the trainer had to work overtime on him. Pitchers are careful what they put on their arms, too, and well they might be. Only a couple of years back a pitcher named Moser was with Oak land. He was very successful and claimed, that his effectiveness was due to warming up his arm before a game by applying chloroform. He was warned that It was bad stuff to use, but he got results and continued the use. Tlie following year he went to the Boston Red Sox and then the dam age was discovered. The chloroform ivas too strong and deadened the nerves in his arm. He could hardly pitch a ball up tothe plate and event ually was forced out of the game.
