As they say in .golf, it is Just about
time for the Pacific Coast ball clubs
to take their stances. Two weeks from
today athletes of all -six clubs will be
en route to the Spring- camps. Spring
tralning'is painful, but it is a necessary
adjunct of baseball.
Spavins, springhalt and embonpoint
will all be made to disappear myste
riously after a couple of weeks of real
work. ; "

son will commence. April 4" is the date
of the official opening.
, It ought to be a good season. With
.the baseball war over and money some
what more plentiful we'll probably get
a rise on this from some of the ball
players the old-time guard will soon
be breaking out in a baseball rash.
All Clnbs Tndergo Shakcup.
Nearly all of the Coast clubs have
fbeen severely shaken up, Portland's
seismograph showing evidences 01
. particularly ferocious ouaking.
This rs to be a 'passing analysis of
the Los Angeles club, however; eo we 11
pass over the other five and stick them
into the pigeonhole for future pin-
pricking.
Last year Los Angeles was repre
sented by one of its strongest teams
in recent years. So, to say that the
Angels are better than in 1915 would
necessarily be a strong statement.
Yet, the bunch that Frank Chance,
the new manager, has lined up for the
coming season appears to possess more
hitting Btrength without any apprecia
ble loss of defensive ability.
Koerner, at first base, doubtless will
hold over, for he batted around .320
last season. In fact, had Koerner been
with the club at the start a goad many
fans nourish the idea that the Angels
would have copped the pennant.
McLarry or C.lloway at. second will
outhit McMullen, perhaps, but the ex
Tacorua lad performed good service last
year for the Angels and there will De
no gain at the keystone.
At short and third, however, the club
will be far stronger offensively, grant
ing that Fisher of the Cubs signs his
contract. Fisher is not as good a field
ing shortstop at Zeb Terry, row with
: Chicago, but he will hit 50 points better.-
And either Rapps of the Western
League or Groeling will outhit George
Metzger by three or four miles.
Ellis, Maggert, Wolter and Jackson
comprise a wonderful outfield, equalled
only by San Franoisco. ' It has speed
and fielding ability and punch galore.
Jackson is a hew hand. He comes
from the Middle West with ai ex
cellent reeord.
Battery Appears Stronger.
Boles, Srooks and Bassler of last
year's"eatching crew are back in the
deck, reinforced by Wallace, a Southern
league star secured from the Chi
cago Cubs.
Last season's Angelic flinging
strength was concentrated mainly in
the flamboyant flippers of "Slim" Love
and Jack Ryan, with an occasional
nudge by Southpaw Scoggins. Love has
departed to grand opera,' but Chance
has garnered Standridge and Schorr
from- the Chicago Cubs, old "Flame'
Delhi from Kansas City, and a couple
of promising young slab artists from
the East, v
It is almost certain, too. that Chance
will land one or two. more gilt-edged
pitchers before April.
Tea, the Angels are a good bunch.
Not since the Colorado ran amuck
over the Imperial desert and'threatened
to leave edible catfish flopping around
on Spring street have Angelenos been
so obsessed with anticipatory thrills
aboiK their ball club.

UXTVERSITr OF OREGON. Eugene,
Feb. 28. (Special.) The unusual balmy
Spring days of the past two weeks
have put tne ball boys into shape' far
beyond the expectations of the coach:
A year ago at this time rain was mak
ing a duck pond of the diamond, and
the players were dodging about in the
gymnasium and receiving pointers from
the coach on the fine points of base.
ball. The added two weeks of good
weather has mitigated somewhat the
freshman ruleTaarring first-year men,
in favor of the coach by conditioning
the old men. Some 30 men are turning
out nightly for practice.
Each night the tentative varsity
lineup goes up against the freshman
team, and each night the frosh give
the varsity a rub for their money.
Were it not for the rule barring them
there are some freshmen wlro would
displace varsity men. As it is the
freshmen aregoing to'have a world
beating aggregation. But while the
caliber of the varsity team for the
season to come is a moot question, pre
season dope points toward a fast field
ing aggregation but a weak bunch of
hitters.'
The recovery of Walter Grebe, sec
ond baseman of last g ear's team, from
nis serious attacK or erysipelas anp
his return to school has added one
more dependable veteran to the team.
As it looks at present the lineup for
the. season will see Harold Maison, a
sophomore, on third; Captain Anse Cor
nell at shortstop; Walter Grebe at
second; Joe McLean at first; Shy Hunt
ington behind the bat, and Bill Tuerck,
Dick Nelson, Ernmeti Rfethbun, Sammy
Bullock an4 Walter Kennon on the
firing line, with Jimmy Sheehy, Kaiser
Wilhelm and Wily Knighton in the field
positions. Of these just five were mem
bers Njf the team of last year.
Dick Nelson, star first baseman of
the conference la, year, has been
taken from the initial sack and placed
among the heavers. The pitching staff
is the exceptionally, weak place with
the team this year. Dick is a big boy
with lots of steam, but is inclined to
lose control once in a while. If the
coach can tames him down and get him
to acting consistently he should prove
a whiz at pitching as he did at playing
first.
McLean has been playing a fair game
at first, but lie has had no varsity ex
perience. He is the only logical candi
date to fill Nelson's shoes at present.
If Nelson does not make a go of the
pitching job he will likely be returned
to first. .
The first games of the season are
more than a month off. On March 31
and April 1 the Chemawa Indian lads
will be met in a series of two games,
and from then on to the end of school
the team wjll have no rest.

There is a lull in local fishing circles,
the best of the steelhead fishing is
over, although there will be a few
anglers out today.
Local sporting goods houses, how
ever, are running low on six-ounce
rods and nine-strand lines. Why? Be
cause, every real fisherman is either
getting a new outfit or shining up his
old one in preparation for the Chinook
salmon fishing season, which starts
about March 16.
In about 17 'more days the rbads be
tween Portland and Oregon City will
be covered with automobiles- speeding
to various fishing grounds. Boatloads
of fishermen will go thither.
Some of the best fishing in the world
is enjoyed in the Willamette River be
tween Oregon City and Oswego. The
increase . of fishermen between these
points last year was approximately 35
per cent more than the 1914 season.
It Is expected that the increase will
be even greater during 1916.
All of the fishing is done below the
rall3. The best trolling is done dur
ing the months jpt April and May. This
spot is the rendezvous for all of the
old-time fishermen of Portland. " Thou
sands of, the lovers of the great sport
nan mere every season
The Salmon Club of Oregon Is en
couraging fishing for salmon with a
six -ounce rod 'and a nine-strand line,
and offers gold, silver and bronze but
tons for the larger salmon caught. A. E.
Burghduff became president of the club
and won more than $100 worth of prizes
last May when he landed a 42-pound
salmon. Whoever catches the largest
salmon with a six-ounce rod becomes
president of the club for the following
season.
There are salmon in the .Willamette
now, but no fishermen will go out for
at least a couplg of weeks. The water
must fall a trine and get clearer be
fore there wilj bo any good fishing.
The outlook for trout this season is
good. This is due to the fact that there
is plenty of, snow in the mountains,
which will tend to keep water in all
ofthe streams. Last year there was
little snow in the mountains, and many
streams in Southern Oregon and other
parts of the slate were almost dry.
In fact, some W'f the natives in the
southern part of the state never saw
anything to equal last year's condi
tion. -
From April 1 to November 1 tro,ut
fishing is at its height. Following are
the favorite streams of Portland game
fishermen: Deschutes, McKenzie, mid
dle fork or the Willamette near Eu
gene, the Washougal River and the
upper regions ot the, Clackamas.
Steelhead fishing is about over. Sev
eral parties will go out this morning
to the Lower Nehalem River. They
will take the Pacific Railroad & Navi
gation Company's train and get'olf at
points below Saimonberry station.
Other parties Will reach the Lower
Nehalem by staging from Clatskanie
to Mist by automobile. The fishing on
the Sandy is practically over, and al
though there may be a few there today
the results are not expected to be fa
vorable.
Many prominent fishmea do not ap
prove of fishing for steelheads at this
time or year. They say that while
the fish are spawning up in the rivers
they should be unmolested. Steelheads
spawn during the latter part of Feb
ruary and the first part of March.-
Trout spawn during the latter part
of October and in November.

As a matter of fact, McCredie has

Philadelphia holds an option on him.
anyway, explained tne lieaver cniei.
I don't think much of these options.
Fisher and Haworth will give me two
heavy-hitting, experienced receivers,
with Bartholemy and Black, young
sters, to fall back on.
I believe that this young Black, of
San Francisco", is destined to become a
great catcher., My informants say he
Is a great thrower and a sweet Hitter.
McCredie declared that he intended
retaining -only two catchers after the
first month.
"But Fisher and Haworth are both
left-handed hitters," cut in one of the
railbirds.
"Well, they will have to learn to hit
southpaws, if they can't do it now." re

It develops that Fish -vnas not turned

Miller has never lost a fall to a

to secure Hie first fall from Miller a

fall In 58 minutes. Beell weighed lS.'i
pounds ngulnst 150 for Miller.
When one considers that Reell once
threw Frank Gotch and is generally

bo given Miller for staying with him
that length of time.
