NOW SIGNING UP SHY TALENT McCredie Said to Be in Best Shape With Most of Men Under Contract or About to Affix Signatures. FRANK CHANCE. George Stovall, Harry Wolvertori, Del Howard and Bill Bernhard are busy pier these days. Toil will note that every Coast League manager is named with the exception of. Walter Henry Mc Credie. . He's on his way to Honolulu and has part of his regulars and a bunch of promising "bushers" with him. The "regs" will be worked Into con dition and the young fellows will get the "00." Three more seasoned bat tlers have agreed to report at Stockton March 14 and Join the club upon return from Kanakaland, while three more so-called reliables are holding out. but may come to terms any day or arrange a satisfactory deal for themselves. Thus the life of the Herculean Beaver chieftain is smooth, indeed. But the rest oh. Engineering hustling ball teams is quite an undertaking, even in the most pacific times. vAnd. now with Spring fever, players' strikes, rumors of war and other diseases budenlng the land scape, five well-known bosses have their hands full. All five are enjoying trouble of their own. Stovall is beginning to wonder hen his talent will sign, up, and Chance's main worry seems to be what his talent is going to look like after he gets It. A good many of the San Francisco players are hanging onto their contracts until the last minute. Just what the idea is no one seems to know, but the majority of the Oak land tossers are still on the outside of the fence waiting to see Just what turns up. Bill Bernhard also is watch fully waiting. s With the opening of the training season only a few weeks away, George Stovall has decided to get a team, to gether if he has to hire every "bush leaguer" and college player ih the country. The holdouts will be taken into the fold until February 25. and then a deadline will be drawn so sharp that it will cut a hair. s Frank L Roy Chance has taken the POnTLAXD BOY WITH OREOOX TO PLAY AGAINST MILWOMAH. Jay Fox. former Columbia University star of the Portland Interscholastic eague. will play with the University of Oregon basketball team against the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club In the Winged "M" gymnasium next Sat urday night. So far Manager Masters has counted the match with Oregon his last for the 1917 season, although he may arrange a post-season, game. r f - i.s.s V - 'V IS 1 ... ? - , ,i :. I .. . .

Evi dently tne "Peerless One" does not be lieve that a winning team can repeat without an effort. "Once a champion, always a stacker." aeems to be his way of looking at the subject, and he is determined to-see that there are no too confident spirits in the Seraph gang. Very few of. the old Angela have any wings worth mentioning. Catchers Walter Boles and Johnny Bassler, Pitchers Jack Ryan and Hogg and Outfielder Harl Maggart can still move around without crutches, but the others have departed to new fields of endeavor. Even the old standbya aro feeling the effects of the shakeup, and the new additions are likely to be shifted all over the lot before the final nine is picked. ' Manager Chance haa an abundance of stuff coming in from the Cubs and does not appear to be worrying over any department of his team. Two of the Infield men ara already sure "Gloomv Gus" Gleichman and Bobby Vaughn. But the other berths are In the air and open to almost anyone. s One man Is missing In the Aneel outfield. Klllefer and Magzert should get away with two plots, but the third is uncertain, with Jackson a favorite. unless Meusel is hooked. Taking all in all. it is a cronri msn who can predict what ahe fount League ball clubs will look like this season. Baseball enthusiasts exoect that the Detroit Americans will have 'the best catching staff in the league! this sea son. Ed Spencer, one of theN stars of 1916. finally has signed his contract. His delay in coming to terms with President Navin was not over salary, but wa. occasioned by Spencer's re quest that Navin cancel an agreement wnicn naa provided that Spencer; If released, be sent to the Vernon club, of the Pacific Coast League. Oscar Stanage Is the other catcher. John F. Powers, president of the Los Angeles Baseball club, who is In a Chi cago hospital suffering from the ef fects of an operation for appendicitis. Is much improved. Connie Mack must have made some concessions to -induce Ping Bodie - to agree to sljn a contract. Connie is always on the lookout for "young and intelligent athletes." When the Beavers and Tigers meet for the first time In Los Angeles this Spring there will be more hard feeling than there is in a meeting of a woman's club. s . The story of how an excusable error In 18S5 resulted In the suspension r'for life" of Curt Welch, of "der St. Loole Browns." was revived the other day. Chris von der Ahe owned the team at the , time ignorant, lovable, ex citable Chris! And Welch was the gar dening star. However. Curt and Chris never hit it off very well. Curt In sisting Chris meddled too much and Chris snorting that "dot Curt Welch lss too sassy." The Browns, playing at home, were one run to the good In the last half of the ninth. The enemy peopled the bases with one man out. A difficult fly was driven at Curt; he came in. stretched out his hands and deflected the balL Through some strange freak it Jammed its way into the pocket of his shirt. Curt tried to extract It, but couldn't. Then, seeing that one man already had scored and the others were scooting around the bases. Curt ran toward the infield, meanwhile frantically but vainly trying to dislodge the ball from his pocket. He ran almost to second base before a mighty tug ripped open his pocket and released the ball, and the "sure" Brown victory was gone. Just as the chagrined Curt was about to start back to his position the voice of Von der Ahe. trembling with rage, boomed forth from the stand: "Curt Velch. I fine you $100 and sus pend you for life." The fine stood, and Curt Welch never relayed again. Dundee Defeats Tlgard, 4 0 to 8. DUNDEE. Or.. Feb. 17. (Special.)
