Nick Williams cannot see . any club ' but Spokane in the 1914 Northwestern League race. The Portland Colts' man. ager dreams "S-p-o-k-a-n-e" emblaz oned all over the walls of his. boudoir every time he consumes an overdose of rareoit. ' '"It looks like a walkaway for Mike Lynch's club," said Manager Williams, while on a visit to the .local Coast League camp during the week, ."He has gathered together a squad of vet erans almost as classy as any of the Pacific Coast League. "Why, that outfield (Lewis, Powell and Lynch) is about as fast a trio as there is west of the Mississippi," con tinued the blonde-gabled chieftain. "It will be the best garden arrangement 1 have, seen in the league, in three years. "Then look at that infield Wagner, Wulfli, Hoiks, Butler and this chap Colligan. if Lynch wants the Seal, be sides another recruit or two for the initial sack. - "Experience is written all over the pitchers, too. Covaleski is a clever performer. So is .McCorry, and Jess Baker is to be back in harness, with Smith and a half-dozen others.. I don't tee how we are going to stop" the In dians." Hopes Held for Portland. Williams thinks Vancouver, Seattle and Portland will be about standoffs lor the secondary honors. He doesn't figure Victoria or Tacoma very strong. Portland has a host of young fellow, who may come faster than figured, and Williams is hoping for the best. Just now Nick is on the lookout for a couple of experienced right-handed pitchers, for he has four southpaws, .Stanley, Callahan, Bromley, of Chlco, and Jamison, of Oregon, and only two veteran - right-handers, Eastley and Martinoni. His knife hand redruits are Bersing, a kid picked up in- Waho by Jimmy Richardson, and O'Donnell, a iSan Francisco rookie. t Williams expects a couple of right handed youngsters from Walter Mc Credie. but he isn't counting strongly on help from that quarter. " His catchers are Murray, holdover; iiimeelf, and two recruits, Coleman, of iian Francisco, and Johnson,,. a Utah Jphenom. In the infield. Allen, an Oakland kid, and" Fulton, -a promising Long Beach - youngster, will vie for--fJrst: Reams, Ruegg, Whitt and Mohler will fight it '--out for second, with the possibility that ;', the veteran Mohler will be let go; Col ! trin will be back at short, granting he ; eliminates the youngster,- Reynolds, of Vancouver, Wash., while Gui,gni, hold I' over, will fight it out with Terrance ; Chauncey McKuue for third. Reams Notable Addition. ; Reams is by, far -the' most notable '.: infield addition', and if he can hold ! down any job except '..second, Nick's , infield would look fairly strong. It is . said, however, that the Boise star is a I keystoner only. Whitt hails from Vis alia. Cal. Ruegg is also a California 1' busher. The chief weakness. now is apparent in the outfield, where Netzel and Mel- ., chior are the only candidates. Netzel 1- is a crackerjack when in condition, as if all know who have followed him since I! he performed so brilliantly for Spo- 1' kane in his palmy days. But Miles j! must needs keep in the pink or Nick i will be sadly crippled. Coatcap. one of Tom Scuton's Colo- '. rado proteges, is the only youngster ) aspiring to garrison the gardens, and, j! it looks as though Nick is to be weak there unless he succeeds in wheedling '!

Almost 51) of the river dwellings of members', of this organization are ranged along the river and each has a float or verandu. owners of these houseboats are cov ering them with green. Large boxes are being fastened to the sides of the boats in which many kinds of vines and profusely growing" plants are set. Some of the houseboat dwellers have oven gone in for small gardening. Rad Lshes. parBley, onions and lettuce are to be raised. Members of the Yacht Club met Wednesday night and decided on an active campaign for membership. The initiation fee of S10 has been thrown off until May 1. The Yacht Club has ample canoe quarters. . The yacht Sparrow Is on the ways for overhauling and will be ready for the season in about two weeks. Captain Arthur Sholin thinks the Spurrow will be, able to hold her own with the new ! boats in 1914. The Sparrow won the championship for 1913 and also suc- ' cessfully defended the Feldenhetmer & Powers challenge trophies,, which she has held for three years. As some of the new boats have never been sailed by their, present captains, some exciting racing can be expected. X. The lallcs Hotel: Gets;Xew Head. .!! TUB DALLES. Orf. : -Mafcii f14. tSpe- cial.

ROY BROWN PICKED OUT Only Three; Veterans on Hand, So Writer Coneludes Beaver Boss Is Taking I.011K Chance Fed erals Deplete Market. BV ROSCOB FAWCETT. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Santa Maria. Cal., March 14 (Special.) Manager McCredie, of Portland, haa a cluster of young . pitchers gathered In ha Bpring camp, but of the recruits only one- has demonstrated by actual performance, that he can be classed as an AA league twirler. Such Is recruit Roy Brown, for three Tears past a winning pitcher in the Central Association. Brown has been in camp only about 10 days and has been bumped around in common with the more inexperienced talent, but he haa shown enough to warrant it a fairly safe guess that he will make good for the Beavers. McCredie has only three veterans. West, Higginbotham and Krause, on I hand, and he is in dire need or assist- j ance. If Brown comes up to present expectations he will be hailed, as one of the saviors of our pennant hopes. 1 Recruit Quick and Rapid. Very much on the Fullerton order Is the Cedar Rapids recruit He is 'quick and active like Fullerton, but larger and more robust appearing. He and the ex-Seattleite hit and field their po sitions very much alike. Although 26 years old. Brown has been twirling professional bail for only three years, all In the Class B central Association. He has won a majority of his games every Fall, despite the fact that he has been with one or two tail end clubs. In 1911 he started out with Burling ton, Iar, but was sold to Hannibal, a tall-ender, in mid-season. He won 12 and lost 11 on his maiden season. In 1912 Roy showed his class at Hannibal by winning 15 games and losing only nine, for a percentage of .625. Last year at Cedar Rapids, to which city the Hannibal franchise was transferred. Brown won 19 games and lost 10, for a winning percentage of .625. The statistics all through his career show that Roy has had goon control: also the figures prove the statement that he can stand lots of work. His first year out he allowed only 37 bases on balls in 31 games. Roy's philan thropic output in 1912 was 66 and last year the passes numbered 50. He fanned 142 In 1911. 152 In 1912 and 198 in 33 games last season. While a "pitcher is not paid for hia batting, a heavy sticking twirler is a valuable adjunct to any club, and Brown seems to fill the bill. Hia bat ting marks were: 1911, .247; 1912. .296. and 1913. .315. The Cedar Rapids recruit may be toting around some hidden faults not yet apparent, but just now he appear the one best bet among all the recrulta. and unless he pans out to be a winning pitcher for the Beaver champs, a lot of wiseacres around this camp are go ing to be sadly bamboozled. Brown weishs 165 pounds, stands 5 feet -10 inches high, la of Scotch-Irish parentage and lives at Hannibal, Mo. Or the other pitching recruits Harold Peet, of Sumpter, Or.; Elmer Hanson, of San Bernardino. Cal., and Herb Bal veson, of Fullerton, Cal.. look by far the cream. Fred Framback, the Idaho phenom. Is a big fellow and mighty promising. but the blonde is only 19 years old and needs a year under Nick Williams for development. Lawrence Ryggs. of De corah, Iowa, may . show stuff under nursing, but at present he appears to belong in the same stall with Fram back. Morell Smith, the 190-pound cowboy recommended from the -wilds of Colo rado bv Tom Beaton, will either be Krtnt to Nick Williams or else released to some club In the near luture. tie Is a biff, likeable fellow, but Mac says he is too old to spend his valuable time on. . But Aoythlns: May Happen. Of course, quite an expanse of time stretches between now and the league opening; March 81, and any one of these young .demons - may upset the dope'and uncoil enough stuff to dazzle the cisr manager. But at present Brown looks like the best bet. with Peet. Kalveson ana rian- pon. an 185-pound trio, barking at his heels for recognition. Mcureaie in tends to carry at least seven pitchers and if Pape does not report, he may tart the year with ,the three veterans fcnd this quartet above mentioned. It will be taking:;.long chances, but good pttohera re scarce In the market this year because or tne reaerai Lea (rue aetlvltlea. Peet is an ex-University of Oregon lad and has had one year of proles sional ball behind him. At Pendleton in the Western Tri-State League in 1913 he won 12 and lost 14 with a tail end team. He is 22 years old, stands 6 feet 1 inch and weighs 185 pounds. . Salveson was picked up by Mac last Fall and finished the final few weeks. He. is 20 years old. stands an even 8 feet and tips the beam at 183 pounds. Hanson was recommended to Portland by Chet Chadbourne, who hit against him at San Bernardino. He la built very much like Salveson and is a prom ising recruit. CHANCES LOOMING TP W'EI-L Columbia University Has Seven Let ter Men for Baseball. If the number of baseball letter .men back, at school Is to be taken as a cri terion the Columbia University nine will have little trouble in copping the 1914 baseball title of the Portland In terscholastic League. Seven letter men grace Coach Father Cunningham's ros ter and all were regulars on the 1913 Columbia team. Coach Earl, of Washington, has but two back, the Miller twins; Coach Bor leske possesses four letter men of Lin coln High; Coach Kelly, of Hill, has five around which he will build a team; three Portland Academy players are back to help Coach "Rich" Par rott; and Coach Newell has five of the old reliable of the 1913 championship Jefferson High team. All coaches had their squads out working at batting practice last week and the first main tryout will take place tomorrow on the various train ing grounds. The track and field teams have been doing light work and are in fair shape to start active practice tomorrow. Coach Borleske, of Lincoln, has taken his four letter men and made them cap tains of four teams and now games will be played between the various squads. The winner of the lnter-squad league will receive some sort of a prize, yet to be decided on. Schild knecht. Merle Roussellot, Freeman and Cummins are the captains, but the cap tain of the entire group will be elected later. Because of the failure of Grimm to return to school this Spring the Wash ington High School Is without a cap tain and the Miller twins will have to be taken as a nucleus around which Coach Earl will mould a winning com bination. Schoenberg, Porter and Wll mot are the Portland Academy players back from last season and Coach "Rich" Parrott will be at work tomorrow. Captain Risley, Evans, Houlahan, Stinson and Tlmmerman are the Hill Military Academy cadets who will try to make their letter again In baseball. Captain Sheehy, Irvine. Lodell. Wolfer and Bob Colvin make up the Jefferson High contingent. Coach Father Cunningham, or Co lumbia, has Captain Nixon, outfield; Niles and Peabody, both outfield; St. Marie, catcher; Bernhofer, pl.tcher; Mutrhead, first base, and Collins, sec ond base; and with this group as a center, big things are expected to penetrate from the university campus.

SIX-TEAM ROUTE IS AIM Walla Walla and North Vaklina Pre pare to Act as Result of Pendle-ton-Baker Episode Seattle May Be Invaded. WALLA WALLA, Wash., March 14. (Special.) Pendleton's withdrawal from the Western Tri-State League and the possibility of Baker quitting may put an end to the Tri-State organ ization, but it will not prevent Walla Walla and North Yakima from having league baseball. This decision was reached today at a meeting of the local Nclub officials at the close of a long telephone conversation with ft. Vr. Rutidstrom, of North Yakima. While the matter of keeping si smal ler league will not be dropped for the present, the two cities will work now to organtzae a Washington State League. Six towns are in mind and would give sufficient population to have class C ball, with less railroad expenses than last year, when North Yakima and Boise were on the ends of the circuit. President-Secretary-Treasurer L. M. Brown, and Manager August Bade, of the Walla Walla Bears, expect to leave Monday, for Puget Sound, picking UP R. W. Rundstrom at North Yakima and they will endeavor to arouse interest in Everett, Belllngham and if possible Aberdeen and Seattle. The proposal Is to put a team in Seattle to play when the Northwestern League team Is on the road, if Dugdale will stand for it. Walla Walla will have baseball. eague baseball, that's a cinch," "Doc" Clarence Crews, one of the local of ficers and backers of the Walla Walla Bears, said tonight. We have a good team signed uo. first-class grounds, a name In the baseball world for the good men we have pdt out, a con stantly growing bunch of live fans and we want and will have baseball. North Yakima Is even more enthusiastic than we . are. If we can get six teams all the better, otherwise four will do. "There is a possibilty to keep Baker by getting another town near by, but the other will be worked out first. Pendleton hasn't hurt us by withdraw ing: really It Is a help because it has stimulated Interest in the game and lukewarm fans are now rabid."

Distinguished Swatter WIk Casts Fortunes With Dugdale Thia Year Is In Pink of Condition and Weighs 196 Pounds. BY PORTUS BAXTER. SEATTLE, Wash., March 14. (Spe cial.) Old Sol worked overtime dur ing the past few days, and his cheer ful visage was all the members of the local baseball colony required to bring them out witn ball and bat, to sa nothing of picturesque attire. The leading designer at the park frivolities was elongated Ben Hunt, who has Joined "his fortunes for the coming struggle with the Vancouver champions, but who Winters in the Queen City. Brown says that he will pick his staff from about 14 candi dates, and is confident of making ui what he lost by the purchase or draft ing of Schmutn. Sohulz and Ingersolt. The Vancouver infield, in all proba bility, will not be disturbed otherwise than the substitution of McCarl. who was with Spokane part of last season, for Walsh at first. Brown should not be figured as "standing pat" on the diamond. To guard against a fall down of the old guard at any point he: has fortified himself -with a crop of -youngsters. "It is Just possible," hn says, "that I shall have to do some tinkering and it is best to be prepared." Dode Brinker and Emit Frisk are reas onably certain of outfield berths, pre sumably center and right field. Swala I.ook a Good. Despite all the pre-season activity at the new ball park during the past week there was little development baring di rectly on the Seattle team. Outside of Manager Raymond only three members of the squad that will report March 24 did enough to warrant mention. These were Inflelder Roy Brown. Outfielder Bill Baird, formerly of McMinnvillr, Or., and Outfielder Conley, who comes from Kent, Wash. Although he did not don his uniform the arrival of Charlie Swain, the dis tinguished home-run swatter, gave Manager Raymond real cause for re joicing. Swain is in splendid condition, weighing 19 pounds, as compared to 215 pounds In previous training sea sons. He is taking the game seriously. pleased to play in Seattle and deter mined to make a good record. If any one will take the trouble to examine Swain's record for the past four years he will find that he has been "coming" instead of standing still or going bacK. At the present time it looks as if Manager Raymond would open the sea son w4tn -Martini in leu. iMiniaj center and Swain in right.

Of the last mentioned trio, Holderman is the only one known in the Pacific Northwest. In 1912 he was one of the best prospects in minor league ball. Since that time he has not shown up as well, but Is about due to strike his pace again. Togneri stands high in Arizona and some parts of California as a hitier and fielder. Tommy Madden, a well known Coast League player, says Tog neri should make good for a certainty in the Northwestern League. Truckey is a local semi-pro. Physically Truckey fuliiils all the requirements for u first sai-ker but beyond that point no'hin can be said otherwise than that he did well last year In the semi-pro field.
