Four more battles will bo waged In
the Inter-City Baseball League this
afternoon, each starting promptly at
2:30 o'clock. The Bradford East Sides
will clash with the Montavilla Wildcats
at the old grounds of the Portland
Cricket Club, Montavilla. Catcher
"Whitey" McBride and Outfielder
"Blocky" Steurhof, of the old Cresham
club, nave been secured by the Monta
vlllans. Batteries for this game will be:
Bradfords, Moreland and Clarke: Mon
tavilla, Zweifel and McBride. Catcher
Clarke was not transferred to the East
Side suburb nine by the Bradfords, as
reported earlier in the week.
Clarke did not want to go to the
Montavilla club, and Manager George
It. Grayson would not force him to
against his own consent. When Mc
Bride was signed by Manager E. L.
Jessup, of the Wildcats, the problem
was solved. Catcher Art Therion left
the club without a backstop by quit
ting with Johnny Tauscher and others
after last Sunday's game.
Robert White, of Lents, is a new um
pire" signed by President Fred Norman
Bay, of the Inter-City League. He will
act in this contest for the first time.
Little is known as to his reputation as
an indicator man, but Prexy Bay
vouches for him. The league presi
dent has released Umpire Tom Jackson
as a result of last Sunday's Montavilla
Ki'kpatrick game.

'Vf MIDLAND, Wash., May 6. (Spe
i ,;.) Woodland faces the Baby

both from Vancouver, Wash. Fred
Oarner, of Portland, is the infielder ob

Coast League Gossip.
EORGE CUTSHAW, former Coast
VJT Leaguer and now with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, Is booting a
good many ground balls this season.
Another fault of his is throwing the
ball wildly.
George Stalling??, of the Braves, has
been Quoted as saying that when the
hot weather arrives Bill James will be
found taking his regular turn for the
Boston Nationals and pitching as good
ball as be did in 1914. They will have
to change the odds on the National
league pennant race if Stallings' pre
diet ion comes true. The former ie
attle pitcher injured his arm durin?
the strenuous climb or. the Braves two
years ago and has been hampered
greatly by it.
Ted Kaylor, formerly in the Coast
League and last year with the Victoria
club of the Northwestern, has been
sold by Terre Haute, Ind., of the Cen
tral League, to the Hannibal, Mo.,
xlhree-l club.
The signing of Charley Pruiett to
Salt Lake contract will undoubtedly be
good 'news to Salt Lake fandom. By a
good many sharps, the shotputter was
regarded as one of the best pitchers
on th Oaks' staff, which in itself is
a mighty distinction, for Oakland has
some good pitchers.
Bl;nkenship offered Klliott a neat
sum for the chubby twirler, but Rowdy
was loth to let him go. It is said
that Pruiett's usefulness with the Oaks
has been a good deal impaired because
of differences in opinion with Manager
lulliott.
After a long period of sterling serv-I
ice in trie Coast League, Carl (Honus)
M it zo finds himself cut loose. Honus
was released the other day by Man--aaer
Patterson, of the Tigers. Mitze
was Oakland's cHtcher in 1112, the vear
that the Oaks won the pennant under I
the leadership of Bud Sharpe. Later he I
was made manager, but acting in that I
capacity, like so many of his predeces
sors and successors in that berth.
failed. ln the Winter of 1915 he was!
traded to Venice for Howard Elliott
Hid ijouis Litschi.
Elliott is manager of the Oaks and
"Litschi is with the Wichita club of
th Western Lej-.gue. .Mitze has been
playing in great form this season, his
batting average being well over the
.350 mark. He is still a great catcher
and probably' win have no difficulty in 1
landing a job, especially when he is
free asent. Neither Salt Lake, San
Fra neifco nor Oak la nd is possessed of I
jtn over-abundance of catching ma
terial and Mitze would fit in pretty
well with either of them. It is under
stood that Rowdy Elliott, of the Oaks,
is at present dickering with Mitze and
pitcher Roy Mitchell, who was released
with htm-
(jullicidcr Johnny Nutt, who was re
leased to the Fort Worth club by Salt
Lake this Spring, has been released
by his latest owners.
An interesting feature of the pre
liminaries with the Hannibal Three-I
team is the contest for the first-base
position between Jack Beatty and
Steve Brewer. These two competed for
the same job on the Peoria team two
years ago and Beatty then .won out.
Beatty went from Seattle to Los An
geles last year and immediately took
sick.
A while back he was reported out
of the race on some American Asso
ciation League club on account of his
old ailment, but may beat his old rival
out I or the first-base place on the
Hannibal club which is in the Three-X
League, which has a lower classifica
tion than the American Association
or the Coast League.
Cliff Blankenship is one Coast
League manager who is not going into
raptures over his club's chances of
making a runaway race of the dash
after A. T. Baum's bit of bunting, says
the San Francisco Bulletin.
Jack Warhop, rated as the un- I
luckiest pitcher in the majors, is the
most cheerful player in the Coast
League. Jack absolutely refuses to let
anything get on his nerves, and his
highly developed sense of the ludicrous
keeps his clubmates laughing when
ever Jack is on the job,
"Never again will I treat baseball
seriously." said Jack reoently. "When
I was with the Yanks I pitched game
after game with my club scoring no
runs for me. One day they jumped on
the enemy and bang in went 11 runs
for me in two innings. What did I
do but get batted out in the third?
That luck with reverse English made
me quit taking baseball seriously.
What's the use?" Jack got pounded
for five runs in the first inning the
other day. He had better change his
idea on the seriousness of the situa
tion and staVt taking things more
somber."
t
Can you see the big league detectives
giving Press Martin the up-and-down
and a couple of twice-overs when they
come to the Coast? A young pitcher
who can jump out and win his first
five straight like Press did will be
carefully inspected by the ivory
hunters this year. He has been Oak
land's mainstay.

WIUE SHOWS GLASS
Outfielder Bids Fair to Take
Ryan's and Graney's Path.
LAURELS WON ON MOUND
Beaver, Who Started as South
paw 'With College Nine, Tapped
Pellet for .252 in 43
Games in American.
There's a scrappy little outfielder on
the Portland baseball club who bids
fair to win some of the laurels that
used to be bestowed upon Buddy Ryan
and Jack Graney -when they were pas-
timing for the Beaver crew several
years ago. He plays the middle garden
for the Beavers, wears red shirtsleeves
and his name is Dennis E. Wilie.
Ijenny, as he is commonly known
among- the players, was obtained by the
McCredies last Winter from the Cleve
land American League club. He start
ed last Spring with the Cleveland team
of the American Association and. after
hitting for an average of .311 ln 93
games, was pulled over during the late
part of the year to the Indians.
rhe present Portland center fielder
clicked the pellet for an average of
252 in 45 games with the American
Leaguers.
Wllle Started as IMtcher.
Like a good many other players Who
are now starring in the outfield and
infield, Wilie started in as a pitcher,
It was this same Irish lad who mad
the nine of the Baylor College, of
Waco, Tex., a terror to other college
teams in that vicinity during the ses
sions of 1909, 1910 and 1911.
He pitched most of the games and
was a dandy little southpaw. When h
wasn't in the box he was put in the
outfield because of his hitting ability.
At the conclusion of his school term
in June. 1911, Wilie's ability on the
diamond had become widespread, and
he was signed by the management of
the Corpus Christi team in the South
western Texas League, a class D or
ganization. Alter pitching a game or
so he was told by the manager that
be would play, -the outfield for the
balance of the year, for he was too
good a hitter to be in the pitcher's
box.
Cardinals Take Over Player.
His career with the Corpus Christ!
aggregation was short-lived, however,
for on July 19, or a month after he
joined the club, he was sold to the
SC. Louis Cardinals and remained there
the balance of the year.
Wilie remained with the Cards dur
ing the entire season of 1912. acting
in the role of a pinch hitter and utility
outfielder. He hit .235 In the few-
games in which he participated. That
Winter he was released to the Beau
mont club of the ' exas League, only to
be drafted by the Philadelphia Amer
icans after hitting the ball hard
season and fielding excellently.
He went to the training camp with
the Athletics in 1914. but soon after
the regular training season started was
obtained by the Cleveland American
Association club in some kind of
trade in which three or four players
were involved. Denny hit for an aver
age of .316 in 122 games with the Cleve
land class AA leaguers and was at bat
468 times. His performances since then
have already been chronicled.
Wilie graduated from Baylor College
after taking a literary course. His
father Is a stockraiser near Waco. Tex.
