THE SUNDAY OREGON I AX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 18, 1917. 3 CASEY AS PLEASING UMPIRE TO FANS On Balls and Strikes and on Bases "Priceless Pearl" , Is Declared Good. FAMOUS LANDMARK IN WESTERN BASEBALL WORLD WHO AGAIN WILL HANDLE THE INDICATOR IN THE COAST LEAGUE THIS SEASON. RECORD IN WEST IS LONG Pearl Barnes, as He Was Christened, Signed Professional Contract First In 1900 Wltn Denver s In Western League. BT HARRY M. GRAYSON. "Priceless" Pearl Casey, once more will umpire In the Pacific Coast League. He has been appointed by President Baum to succeed Jack Doyle who did not please overly well last season. Fans all along- this gTeat West ern circuit are pleased that Casey Is the man chosen. He is one of the best Judges of balls and strikes in the busi ness and is not slow when It comes to handling the bases either. Carey has been a notable baseball figure west of the Rockies since 1902. He was born on a farm near Mexico, Mo., but went to Denver at the age of 12 and was raised in the Colorado me tropolis. Ha played his first "bush games" around Denver. Denver Gets Him First. In 1900 he signed his first profes sional contract with the Denver Bears of the Western League, and beat Joe Tinker out of the shortstop position. Tinker went to Great Falls, of the Union Association, coming to the Port land Northwestern League club the next season and soon graduating to the Chicago Cubs. Casey stayed with Denver only three months and then arranged a deal for himself whereby he became a free agent and signed with the Ogden club which played outlaw ball in a league consisting of Ogden. Salt Lake, L& Eoon, Park City and Pocatello, Idaho. Priceless Pearl did the shortpatching for Ogden for 'a year and one-half, shifting to second base in 1902. Mike Fisher had a poor club In the Facramento Senators, of the Pacific Coast League that year. He tried in vala to get some good pastimers in the East, but everyone sent out looked more like a bartender than a ball player, and at last Mike, determined to land a few real tossers, Journeyed to Bt. Paul. He stopped at Ogden en route and witnessed that team play three or Jour earr.es. Ogden Lets Htm Go. Casey was spotted and landed for nothing. The Ogden management per mitted him to go to Sacramento, be cause he was offered a larger salary than he. was getting from the Utah berg. Incidentally he was the only pastimer obtained by Fisher on his Jaunt. The Irishman whose real name Is Pearl Barnes, reported to Sacramento In June, 1902, relieving Billy Hulen at second base. He was with Sacramento until 1907, when that city's franchise was transferred to Tacoina. He was with Tacoma during 1904 and 1905 and when Fresno took the Oity of Destiny's niche after the San Francisco earth quake of 1906, he went to the Raisin City with the team. From the day Pearl Casey hit Sacra mento in 1902, Mike Fisher started to carve his name into the list of famous Western managers. That famous Sac-ramento-Tacoma-Fresno team of 1903-4-5-6 is still remembered. On it were Catcher Charley Graham. Pitchers Bobby Keefe, Fitzgerald and Freddie Brown. Catcher "Happy" Hogan. In- fielders Pearl Casey, "Truck" Eagan and Tommy Sheehan, Outfielders Mo Loughlln, Lynch and Doyle. All Irish and full of snap and vim. Also it might be well to mention those Teutons. Lou Nordyke, first baseman, and Orvie Overall, pitcher. . Beaver's Get Him In 1007. Casey came to the Portland Coasters In 1907 when the Fresno club was split up. He played with the Beavers until 1909 when he took over the manage ment of the Portland Northwestern League club. In 1910 he captained the Portland Coast League pennant win ners. The following season found him with Nick Williams' Portland Northwestern ers and in 1912 he became one ol Al Baum's officials. He served as umpire Jn the Coast League only one year, working in the Northwestern League In 1913-14-15 and laying off last sea- eon because he could not secure a sat isfactory contract to officiate or man age a club. But now Pearl is back in the harness and is preparing lot. a great year. Priceless Pearl Casey, called "Price less" because Walt McCredie, of the Beavers, used to say that an infielder like him was priceless, is 35 years old was married in 1901 and Is. the father of one girl 11 years of age. BEAVERS HEAR ISLES Good Ship Niagara Likely to Arrive Wednesday. HUGH M'CREDIE WAITING VARSITY CHANGES GOOD CALL TO BASEBALL TRAINING EX PECTED IX TWO WEEKS. Veteran Infield Seems Probable and Ability of PItebera Is Greatest Point of Doubt. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, lrCD. n. ispecial.) With the basket ball season drawing to a close baseball enthusiasts are anxiously awaiting the early season call which, according to Coach Bezdek, will be the first week of March. Prospects for Oregon hav ing a stellar nine depends on the abil lty of pitchers who Join Bezdek's squa earlv in the season. Emmett Rathb'in, varsity pitcher of last season, is on hand with Walter Kennon, Dwight Wilson and Johnnie Beckett to assist him on the mound. Shy Huntington promises to prove him ;elf a big asset behind the bat with Jake Rlsley ready to step Into his shoes. Unless Dick Nelson, captain an varsity first sacker, decides to sign with a Southern league Bezdek will have his high wall for the initial post tion. Walter Grebe will probably be i first line for second base with Harold Maison on the third wing. Oregon lost her fast shortstop by the jrraduation of Anse Cornell but with consistent work by Jay Fox. captain of the fresman nine of last year, he will be ready to fill the opening. Jim Sheehy is the only regular man left in the out field district with Virg Alexander far In the lead of the other prospects. Oregon's schedule will be as follows April 25-26 University of Washington at May 2-3 Oregon Agricultural College al Corvallls. May 4-5 University of Washington Ceattle.

The Portland Pacific Coast League training squad is scheduled to pull into Honolulu Wednesday on the "R. M. S. Niagara." At that time it will have been seven days on the water. The Colored Giants will be met the following afternoon as an added at-1 traction of the Honolulu Carnival. Pitcher Herman Schatzlein is scneduled to heave for the Beavers. Pitchers Flncher (St. Louis) and L. D. Brenton (New Orleans) and Infielder Paddy" Siglln (Pittsburg) are expected to reach Stockton March 14 to get down to actual work under Nick Will- lams and to be Joined there by the rest of the squad upon its return from the islands. Of course there is a possibility of the three holdouts. Pitcher Al Leake (Rocky Mount),. Infielder "Babe" Borton (St. Louis) and Outfielder Billy Southworth (holdover) getting in line and gathering at Stockton, but this is not likely. Judge McCredie wrote all of them telling the pastimers to ar range a satisfactory deal if they could. Nothing has been heard from them by Hugh McCredie, who is looking after the business affairs of the club during the absence of the two Portland mag nates. Answers have had not enough time to get here. Leake has asked the McCredles to arrange a transfer whereby he can tay in the East. He wanted more money than the McCredles could afford to give an untried lad. George StovalL the five-hundred kopeck kid, is willing to let his Tiger band stand pat for the time being, pre ferrlng to wait for the, Spring clean' up in the majors before starting any deals for new players. v Pitcher Roy Mitchell, reported to have retired from baseball, sent in his signed contract last week, while Catch er Honus Mitze and Qulnn, two other Tigers who were dissatisfied, have agreed to the terms offered them. Mit chell signed his contract as soon as he learned George Stovall was to lead the club. Schultz. the Infielder secured by the Angels from Pittsburg last season, re porting to frank Le Roy Chance in Portland, is the only member of the club who has not been heard from since the contracts were sent out. The others are all satisfied with the terms of fered. "I'm not worrying about the play ers, eays Chance. "Just wait until training season starts and they'll all be on hand. HO are the world's champions in the various fistic divisions? Here they are: . Flyweight, Jimmy Wilde, of England. Bantamweight. Johnny Ertle, of St. Paul. Featherweight, Johnny Kilbane, of Cleveland. Lightweight, Freddie Welsh. of Wales. Welterweight. Jack Britton, of Chi cago. Middleweight, Al McCoy, of Brook lyn. Light-heavyweight, Battling Levin sky, of Bridgeport. Heavyweight, Jess Wlllard, of Kan sas. Maybe one is open to correction on the proposition that these are the world's champions, but at all events they all have at least a technical right to their titles. Pete "Kid" Herman, of New Orleans, claims the bantamweight title by vir tue of a decision over Kid Williams, of Baltimore, who lost to Ertle on a foul, but otherwise the titles named in the foregoing are fairly clear. Jack LMllon, who was generally recognized as the light-heavyweight champion for some time, lost a decision to Battling Levinsky In Boston not long ago, and while Levinsky and Dillon have both been beaten In New York by Billy Mlske and Miske may be the best in that division he has not met Dillon or the battler in a decision battle. Jack Britton and Battling Levinsky are without a doubt two of the clever est boxers in the game today, both boys often giving away from 10 to 13 pounds to an opponent. They do not keep the fans waiting at the ringside if an opponent comes In over weight the champions go right in and box them. That Is the reason Britton and Le vinsky are two of the most popular boxers in the world today, also they stand ready at all times to defend their titles against all comers, black or white.

Although con siderable opposition developed last Spring among certain of the big league magnates against the playing of ante- I season interleague games the agitation appears to have had little effect, for more contests of this class hava been scheduled for the next two months than was the case in 1916. A year ago the vari loua clubs of the two major leagues met in more than SO of these training sea son games, while close to 60 have al ready been announced for the coming I campaign with several clubs yet to make publlo their plans In this direction. As a preliminary to the pennant races of last year the big circuit teams met I in 39 games either inter-league or lnter- club Tlth the result that the National League clubs won 24 and American League combinations IB. The senior organization piled up a total of 809 hits and 154 runs to the Juniors' 290 hits and 12s runs. In errors the American League players-made a slightly better showing, the final analysis crediting 61 to the Nationals and 58 to the Ameri cans.' This year 49 Inter-league games have been scheduled to date, with Brooklyn in the National, and Boston and New York in the American League playing with the greatest number of contests.
