BIGBEES ACCEPT TERMS Jones Said to Be Ipady to Send Borton for First, Vaughn for Sec ond and ritcher Herbert From St. Louis to Portland. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. tike the storied tortoise, Walter Mc Credie Is moving slowly but surely in his plans for rebuilding: his Portland Coast League pennant chasers. Nixon, an outfielder of the Cleveland .American Association, was yesterday's contribution to the symposium of swat. Manager McCredie purchased Nixon out right and also announced that he was after Wilie. another Clevelander, but that Cleveland was unable to secure waivers from other American League owners. In addition to this budding star, the Macs announced that the two Oregon athletes. Lyle and Carson Bigbee, had telegraphed acceptance of terms and would report to Portland in Spring camp at Sacramento. While the Nixon purchase will per haps be the plum in the eyes of the baseball rablds, it will not be a ripple alongside the fuss that this Bigbee brothers announcement will stTr up among the rah! rah! sect. Lyle is the star pitcher on the Oregon baseball team and a halfback on Ore eon's football machine. Hugo Bezdek was figuring on him for next year's eleven. Carson is an infielder and will try out for third base for Portland. He is a left-handed hitter. Of course, there is always a chance that influences will be brought to bear upon these young stars and that they may not show up at reporting time. However, so far as professional base ball is concerned, they are now Port land's property and will be welcomed whenever they see fit to break away from the classic college halls. In the records Nixon looks like & fine prospect. He hit .291 last year In the American Association and stole 47 bases. He appears to be somewhat shy on fielding, for his average was only .921. Here is the complete statistical story on his 1915 performances with the Cleveland Scouts: Games. 148; runs. 88: hits. 163; two base hits. 26: three-base hits, 16: bat ting, .293: fielding, .921; sacrifice bunts, 47; sacrifice hits, 17.- "I would like to get thi fellow "Wilie. of Cleveland." declared Walt Mc Credie, enthusiastically. "Southworth, Wilie and Nixon would make a won derful trio to go with Billy Speas. Per haps I may get Wilie later on. if Cleve land can secure waivers on him. One thing certain, I do not intend to retain Elmer Lober. We need a change in feres, nd so does he.

Mack said he watched Nixon all last year, and Cleveland comments were fa vorable. He performed so ably that the Cleveland management jerked him over to the American League late in the FaJL Umpire Murray, of the Amer ican Association, further strengthened Mack's opinion of the youngster when he came West to Winter in Los An geles. Ever since then the Portland magnate has been dickering for Nix on's release. One outfielder, an infielder and a couple of experienced pitchers will now complete the Portland roster. Accord ing to St. Louis newspapers. Fielder Jones is figuring on Shipping First Baseman Borton, Second Baseman Vaughn. Pitcher Herbert and several others to the Portland club.

From Vancouver they will journey to Victoria to combat with the Aristocrats. No little importance attaches to Tues day night's engagement. If Frank Pat rick s septet can repeat irioay mgnis victory, it will be but one game behind Portland Looking further ahead. Fri day night, January 21, will find the Millionaires on Seattle ice. If they are successful in downing the Metropoli tans and Portland loses her third straight game, the Vancouver world's champions will be tied with Savage's men for the league leadership. With this in ,view, the Vancouver skaters, who are going at world's championship speed just at present, will throw the throttle wide open in Tuesday's exhibition and if Captain Oatman and his crew can come out on the long end of the score, they will deserve much credit. A record-breaking crowd is expected. "Our fellows will go into this game cool and collected, every one in fine fettle and prepared to put up the bat- tlo of his life. If we are beaten, we readily realize that Vancouver will be dangerous and we can't afford to lose," said Manager Savage yesterday. The entire squad will make the trip. Next Wednesday night, the septets of the Portland Rowing Club and the Waverley Country Club will compete at the Portland Ice Hippodrome. These teams are in the Portland Amateur Hockey League and it will mark their first appearance on the ice this season. Delegations from the Waverley Club and many members of the Rowing Club will be on hand to sheer for their favorites.

TO SHOW AT OREGON Squad of Nearly 25 Is Hard at Work and Three Portland Lads Have Chance. - MOST MATERIAL GREEN Two Former Captains Are In Ranks Again Charles Dundorf and Bernard Breeding Are Out for Honors. UNIVERSITY OF. OREGON, Eugene, Jan. 15. (Special.) Discouraged be cause of lack of old material and be cause of the way new material was turning out for .the varsity sport of wrestling at the first of the season. Coach Ed Shockley is gradually re gaining his optimism and is now will ing to say that his proteges have a chance when the dual meet begins. Shockley Is using Rutherford, a 145 pounder and captain of last year's team, and Dal King, captain of the team two years ago and the star in the 158-pound class, as a , nucleus around which he will build up a new team this year. Dual Meet to Be With O. A. C. The only definite dual meet is the one with O. A. C, which will take place the latter part of February. A. R. Tiffany, graduate manager, an nounced today that arrangements would be made to schedule a prelim inary match, possibly with the Mult nomah Club, to work a little of the greenness out of the men. It is possible that Leon Jackson, who wrestled in the 108-pound class In 1914 and who had his head split open in the Northwest meet in Portland, caus ing him to drop school for the 1915 sea son, will return to school the second semester. As it stands now, there are only two letter men on the squad. Both of these men have held cap taincies and both are the only men eligible for the same job this year. They cannot be said to be absolutely sure of their places. Three Portland Lads Show Well. Three Portland lads are bidding fair to make the team, while the state at large is well represented.

At the slgrning: of tho recent peace agreement which caused the death of the Federal League and brought order out of chaos in tho baseball world or ganized baseball exonerated some 304. players and 20 umpires from all blame and restored these men to good stand ing: in baseball. However, this did not bring: any of the 304 players and 20 umpires a job for next year, but as sured them a chance to obtain work at their chosen profession if they should be so fortunate as to land a job. Most of the owners of tho National and American leagues expressed them selves as willing: to purchase and con tract for Federal players. There are a few exceptions to this rule, namely: Schuyler Britton, of the Cardinals: James J. Lannln, of the Red Sox, and Clarke Griffith, of the Senators. There are 13 other clubs, however, which seem to be openly bidding for the services of the better known Fed eral players, among: whom are a lot of stars, who surely would bolster up weak spots which showed everywhere last season. Scanning the rosters of the Federals of last season, there ap pear to be almost SO men of major league caliber and desirability. Many of these do not stand out as do "Benny" Kauff.
