He certainly finished last season in a blaze of glory, lamming the piU at a .311 c'.l and showing plenty of speed on the bases and in the field. There has been some talk that Schal- ler is to be dispensed with, although from the management there has come no intimation of what is to be done. Schaller's chief fault is a tendency to take matters too easily. The coming of Charlie Pick for third base may mean that Maisel is intended for the outfielder.

Borton, cx-Vernonite. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. Two additional ballplayers were added to the Portland Coast League club yesterday, quickly following on the heels of the deal, which brought Farmer and Slglin from Pittsburg. The newest Beavers are Babe Borton, former Vernon first baseman, and William Fincher, pitcher, both of the St. Louis Americans. Manager McCredte also announced that Outfielder Nixon would bo traded to New Orleans for a pitcher. When this last mentioned transaction Is con summated the Portland team will be practically ready to sail for Honolulu lor its Spring training.- Borton's purchase from St- Louis was outright and It will find great favor with the fans. Borton batted .S07 for Vernon In 1914, and then Jumped to the St. Louis club of the outlaw Fed eral League. When the St. Louis Feds were amalgamated with the St. Louis Americans last year Fielder Jones kept Borton on the staff and used him In 22 games at first base. The sensational Sisler picked off the regular lob. . Borton Throws With Left. Were It not for Sisler, Borton would be the regular first Backer of the Browns. Borton hit .289 for St. Louis In the Federal League in 1915. and about the same in his few games in the American last season. He is a left-hand thrower and batter ard of the slugging type. Fincher, the new pitcher, ccmes to Portland under an optional agreement. He is a husky right-hander, formerly of the Southern Association, and Man ager Jones thinks enough of him to hold a string to him so that in case he develops he can repurchase him next Fall. Fincher pitched for the tall-end Little Rock club of the Southern Association In 1915, and won 16 out of 36 games. This was better than his club s average, He warmed the bench at St. Louis most of the time last year. Good Tm Appears oa Paper. Wheq Walter McCredie completes his trades for Beebe. ' Nixon, Hagerman and Herb Kelly the Beavers ought to present a most pleasing front to the ball colony. Even now the team begins to shape up like a real ball club. Look it over: Catchers Fisher and O'Brien. Pitchers Hourk, Hagerman, BIgbee. Kelly. Beebe (Cleveland), Fincher (St Louis), Penner (Cleveland), Helfrlch (Harrisburg), Higbee (Qulncy).

Mack's pitching staff at present is composed mainly of young blood that the Portland manager has picked up here and there over the country. Byron Houck and Fincher. of the St. Louis club, appear the only experienced twirl ers on the corps at present, providing McCredie sticks to his determination to dispose of Beebe, Hagerman and Kelly, j xiio iijiuu ucai wnu i c v uncnua will give him another flinging veteran, however, and he expects to land anoth or good man in trade for Beebe. Pen ner. Helfrlch, Leake, Higbee and Big bee are all mighty promising young fellows and McCredie figures tmat sure ly one or two of them will develop so that he can hold them and thus keep within the four-youngster rule re cently passed by the Coast League magnates. Lyle 'BIgbee sent In his signed con tract yesterday from his Winter resi dence at Waterloo, Or. I There were no developments of note in the Honolulu trip matter. Judge McCredie received a cablegram from the Honolulu Athletic Association say ing that they were busy arranging for hotel accommodations. The Judge ex pects to hear tomorrow from them that the guarantee for the trip has been placed in a bank to his credit. OAKS IN JTEEB- OF CATCHER Del Howard May Have to Start In Training Lacking Backstop. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20. (Special.) Del Howard may be forced to take his Oakland team into training with out the first-class catcher that he would like. From the start Del has admitted the necessity of getting a capable backstop. Now, after several months of hard work along that line, he is forced to admit it's a tough proposition. All the major league managers are taking their catcher material with them Into camp and not until the backstops are tried out will any one of them be re leased. There's another thing that Is holding back the Oaks. No word has come from Kbbetts of Brooklyn relative to O'Mara, the shortstop who was promised to the Coast club. The St. Louis Cardinals have refused to waive and there is an other of the Western National League clubs that has an eye on the short fielder. Although more than a little care and attention are being paid to the rejuvena tion of the San Francisco infield, in which there are two spots in need of filling, the powers that be are either sliding over the question of what is to be done in the way of replacing Ping Bodie or else they are dickering for men who will make that division of the team come up to the require ments. And Ping Bodie is going to be missed, for he was a reliable man in every position he played. And it Isn't going to be the easiest matter in the world to replace him.

Few Freshmen Are Fit. t . UNIVERSITY OF OREGSM, Eugene. Jan. 20. (Special.) Bill Hayward now has his track athletes grinding out the long mileage on the cork path la the 'gym. Every afternoon the men are to be seen winding around the course, building up wind and endur ance. Prospects for the coming season look poor Indeed. Chet Fee. the all-around athlete, who was largely responsible for the successful season of last year, and Moosev Mutrhead. his counterpart are both gono. the former by the grad uate route and the latter by the call of a good Job. Chet was always good In any meet in the Northwest for from 20 to 30 points, and Moose always added enough more to cinch the meet. But prospects for the last two years in the early season have looked blue for Coach Bill Hayward. and yet he always has managed to get his men into shape to come through. He has an unparalleled record as a track coach. So what he will do this coming year remains to be Been. Oregon's membership in the Coast Conference means that the Oregon team will have to meet the California team next Spring. What this means all close followers of the track sport know. With a sunny clime to keep them in shape, the Southern athletes know nothing of the handicap of mud and rain and cold snaps that bind the muscles and send the men to t'ae gym with Charley horses and buck shins. Veterans to Be Nucleus of Team. While the Southern athletes are training on fast paths the Oregon lads will be plowing through mucky clay. While the Southern athletes have their muscles supple ind in perfect condi tion the Oregon track men will be hobbling around as though their bodies were built on toothpicks. But alibis don't make a track team, and the Oregon team will be built around the veterans on hand who have proved themselves in the past. In the tLatt place,-there is Captain Martin Nelson, who is good in both the quarter and half mile. Last year his endurance suffered from a pro tracted cold that kept him out of early seasoning. But to date he is in fine health and he never knew himself to be in better condition. He is a little under weight, but Just lean enough to be as he desires. Lee Bostwick, the hero in the two mile event, has entered school again and will be ready to Join the squad. He is a letter man of last year. He has been at Rogue River editing the Argus, but resigned his position to get back to school and finish his course, and incidentally help Coach BilL Kent Wilson, quarter-mller and 220 man, is in school, and Oscar Gorecsky, sprinter and hurdler, will be in uni form. Both are veterans and letter men. Few Freshmen Are Fit. Belding. of Grants Pass, and Johnny Bull, of Salem, whom Bill predicts as comers, are due for a good season. Belding will be used in the mile event and Bull does his best in the quarter. He is particularly good In the relay. There Is little to pick from the fresh man squad of last year. The best pros pect is in Bob Atkinson, a Cottage Grove half-miler. But that is all that can be seen. That is the Oregon line-up. No weight men, no hurdlers, no Jumpers and no vault era no almost nothing. Sprinters, half-railers and quarter-milers don't win a meet, and unless the coach can unearth some members of this tribe It will be good-night for the Oregon track team. There is a possibility of a weight man In Kenneth Bartlett. football hero and student from Esta cada, and there are other huskies in school. But they are men whose names have never resounded In track rec ords, and unless Bill can bring them out their names will never be in scribed on the honor rolls. JIM LOXDOS WANTS SIATCH Wrestler Wants to Come Back to Portland for Boat. Remember Jim Londos. who wrestled here a couple of times last Winter? He wants to come back. Charley Craig is now handling him and the pair are in Sioux Falls. S. D. Craig writes as follows: "Have seen In Portland, papers that you have some great wrestlers In your section of the country. I am willing to send Jimmy Londos West to meet any man around 170 pounds, or any heavvweiKht. Londos has appeared in Sioux Falls five times during the past three months and has defeated all com petitors, taking on as a finale the Ter rible Turk (Bob Magonoff) for a finish match and beating twice In less than 40 minutes. I believe Londos is with out exception the best man in the country at his weight and can make all of the heavyweights go to defeat him. Ho will be ready alter Febru ary 15." Londos is a good wrestler, but there are a dozen like Ad Santell at San Francisco who can wallop him. WILLAMETTE CHANGE URGED "Bub" Zmtem. "Bub" Estes has played ball around Prlneville for the past three seasons. Scout James J. Richardson, of the Beavers. Is endeavoring to line him up, and if he succeeds the youngster will be farmed out to a Northwestern League team for seasoning. Estes plays shortstop and took part in the state champion games be tween the Baby Beavers, of the Inter-City League, and Prlne ville. Scout Richardron hopes to land Estes within a few days. "Bub" is well liked in Prlne ville, where he runs a restaurant Students Want It Made Harder to Win Letter in Tennis. WILLAMETTE TJNT.VERSITY. Salem. Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) At the regular meeting of the student body, held yes terday morning, two important amend ments to the constitution were consid ered. The first, presented by the Athletic "W" Club, was an attempt to make it more difficult to secure the award in tennis. The second amendment carried by a large majority. It provided that any man who turned out for any one branch of athletics for four years and made hiM letter for threa vejLr flhnuld be i given a blanket.
