BEAVERS
TO
ONLY 17 ATHLETES
McCredie to Have 2 Catchers,
6 Pitchers, 5 Infielders
and 4 Outfielders.
11 FLINGERS NOW ON LIST

Eliminations Are Due.
BT I.06COE FAWCETT.
No small regiment of tossers will eat
on Walter McCredie's meal tickets this
year. The Portland manager announced
definitely yesterday that he would
carry only. 17 players besides Trainer
Frank Schmelder. Most of the time
last season Mack had 20 athletes on
his payroll.
His estimate of 17 is spread out over
the diamond as follows:
Two catchers, six pitchers, five In
fielders and four outfielders.
This gives an extra man both for in
field and outfield purposes, but only
two backstops Fisher and Murray.
These receivers are demons for hard
work. Fisher wore the wlndpad In 139
games last year and Murray In 98 for
the Portland Colts. In case of Injuries
Mack always has the Cleveland club at
his beck, so he feels that he can do
without a third receiver.
A squint through the record columns
reveals that big Sam Brenegan caught
only 18 games for Portland In hia ca
pacity as third catcher In 1914. Twelve
or fifteen hundred dollars for 18 games
is rather a price.
Scml-Pro. to D Tried.
Mack will trot a couple of Los An
geles semi-pros into camp at Fresno,
more, however, to assist In the train
ing preliminaries than In the expec
tation of uncovering any phenoms.
If Manager McCredie holds to his de
termination to carry only six pitchers,
he will have to tote a sharp scimlter
to camp with him when he leaves for
the south tomorrow night.
If you doubt It, glimpse the list of
moundmen:
lllgginbotham, Krause, Martloonl.
Lush. Rleger. Evans. Coveleskie, Cal
lahan, Leonard, Bishop and Barnes.
Count 'em 11 in all six holdovers
from last year's champions and a squad
of seasoned B-leaguers besides.
Coveleskie twirled for Spokane last
year: Callahan and Leonard for the
Portland Colts; Bishop halls from the
Cleveland rook list, and Barnes is a
semi-pro pitcher from a fort near San
Francisco.
Infield Crowded. Too.
The same crowding Is noticeable In
the Infield, where Mack has eight ath
letes on hand for five berths. Unless
Derrick is traded to St. Louis, ho will
be the regular first baseman, and (
Stump, of the Cleveland Spiders, is
figured as the regular second-sacker.
These are the only two positions
which seem to be cinched now.
Reed and Murphy, of the Phillies,
will try out for short and third against
Bobby Davis, last year's utility agent
and Bobby Coltrin. of the Portland
Colts. Naughton, of last year's utility
squad, wilt try to ease in around sec
ond or short, and Hall, a California
youngster, will "supe" at first base.
Hall I rralaed.

"Duffy kicked the nead oir rreuuj

remarked Mr. Forking In a chat at the
rooms of the Press Club the other
night after show time. (Forklns is
best known to theatrical folk as -Husband
of Ray Samuels, of the Orpheum
circuits "Duffy Is very clever and.
moreover, packs a good kick in either
hand. I'm afraid Billy Roche went too
strong sending this youngster against
a finished ring general like the Huf
falo boy."
Sherman Gruman, a brother of
Ralph's, received a letter from the boy
yesterday, and Ralph appeared eock
shure of beating Duffy. Sherman
spiked rumors of a split between Fo
ley and his 19-year-old protege.
"Foley, could not leave Saa Tranclaco,
so he told Roche to gel Ralph started."
said Sherman. "Hooho is a great
friend of my brother-in-law and I
don't think ho would send Ralph
against Duffy simply ns a flyer."
The bout will take place Wednesday
night of this week at Madison Square
Garden and not late In March, as pre
viously announced.
At the recent meeting of the football
rules committee In New York Walter
Camp tendered his associates a dinner
and announced his retirement from th
committee. Tho passing of the Yale
veteran marks quite an epoch In Inter
collegiate football.
Camp played on the original game
of football under the American code
back In 1876. For 37 years he has been
Yule's representative on the rules com
mittee. It was Mr. I'ainp who sug
gested the Jl-man rule now In vogue,
and It was his scheme to liavo a center
pass the ball hack, thus making tho
second great cleavage In classic Rugby.
lie establlshe,) the dimension of tho
American football field. It wa tho
Yale wizard who devised tho very rule
committee itself In 1KS8.
Among his later achievements wera
the 10-yard rulo opening r'ay and his
Introduction in 1913 of an additional
down to the offense, which again
brought into balance the offense and
defense.
Hero is a great thought from a great
author, Dick Rudolph, of the Koston
Braves, who Is writing syndicate To
ries for Kastern newspapers.
"One dav after cranking my ma
chine I could liardly lift my arm and
for several dajs afterward It was sore.
which goes to show that cranking an
auto and pitching ball games are vastly
different."
Pitching big league ball game and
writing big league stories about It are
lso somewhat different.
Walter Camp doubtless will he ore'iy
missed by Ills associates on the foot
ball rule tinkering staff; but If ho
ever swoars off writing poetry Pegas-ua
will never recover.
