favorite with the. fans. 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. The Montreal chap
hit .296 last season and is said to be a
consistent plugger. He may work bis

Just at present he looks slated for the

we would expect 25 per cent cash in advance.

Manager of Beavers Also Announces
Trading of Outfielder Xixon With
New Orleans for Twlrler.
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). Leake
(Richmond). Zweifel and Brandt (Port
land semi-professionals.)
First base Borton (St. Louis).
Second base Rodgers.
Shortstop SI pi in (Pittsburg).
Third base Stumpf.
Infield utility Holloeher.
Left field Farmer (Pittsburg).
Center field Williams. Wilie.
Right field Southwortbv
Pitching Staff Toug Blood.
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.
Fitzgerald, whose leg seems to have
recovered: Biff Schaller. the veteran
left fielder, and Jacinto Calvo are
the holdovers. Calvo promises to be a

Few Veterans Are to Form Nucleus
About Which Will Be Built TJp
Sqnad to Meet California.
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

land Estes within a few days.
"Bub" is well liked in Prlne
