ALL COAST LEAGUE CLUBS TO
' BE HARD AT IT BY TOMORROW
Makeup of Teams Seems to Be Weaker Than in 1916 Seals Have Good
Schedule but Haven't Filled Gaps Oaks and Beavers Mystery.
BT HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 24. (Spe
cial.) Monday will see five of the
Coast League clubs started on
their training: stunts In the various
camps that have been selected. Charles
Weegrhman Rnd his Chicago Nationals,
who win shortly be In California, are
primarily responsible for the early
conditioning- of the Coast League clubs,
as with the single exception of Salt
Lake, games more or less important
are expected, beginning in the South
as early as the first of March and clos
ing in San Francisco the latter part of
the same month.
Last year the Coasters got along
with three weeks apiece in their re
spective camps. But last year, it must
be understood there were no outside
games. The clubs remained away from
their home grounds absolutely.
. This year all save the Portland
Beavers, who are in Honolulu, will
have something like five weeks' of
actual work, either In the camps or
when the games are under way. Sev
eral of the managers complained last
season they didn't have sufficient time
in which to get their pitchers into
shape. That was one of the reasons
for the lengthened training life of
1917.
Camps will be opened Monday as
follows
At Sacramento San Francisco.
At Boyes Springs Oakland.
At Porterville Salt Lake.
At Los Angeles Los Angeles.
At Vernon Vernon.
The Seals will have something more
than two weeks in which to prepare
for their first games on Ewlng Field,
but in that time several important ex
hibition set-tos are scheduled. For In
stance, they open up In Sacramento on
Saturday. March 3, against Santa Clara
Varsity and then move to Marysvillo
for the Sunday game. The next Satur
day and Sunday will see them playing
the Cubs No. 2 at Sacramento and later
they will move to San Francisco, wherv
the Cub. regulars are to meet the Seals
March 16,. IT and 18. as well as March
23. 24 and 25.
League regulations will not permit
of games om the league grounds durlns
the week prior to the opening of the
season, which means the Seals will play
once more on the Sacramento lot.
The Oaks, 'while they have hardly
the same number of games scheduled,
are going to be just as busy in the
training stuff and it appears that the
Northern end of the circuit ought to be
in fairly good shape when the pennant
race gets under way, April 3.
The league doesn't seem to be as
strong as in 1916. Evidently there has
been a concerted move to cut 'down ex
penses and most of the trades have
been made within the circuit Instead of
landing new faces.
Whether this is the case remains to
be seen. At all events, there has been
more or less grumbling on the part of
the fans, who do not seem to be satis
fied with the outlook.
Taking the San Francisco club as an
individual example, there are a num
ber of phases not altogether pleasing.
In pitchers, Wolverton has failed to
strengthen as he might have done. He
has Increased his batting - strength to
some extent but he has & decidedly
slower outfit all around.
Ralph Stroud, a first-chop pitcher.
was to have Joined the locals. But
there was some row over the finances
and in consequence the Stroud deal
was called off. Just what happened,
has not been explained hereabouts.
Evidently the price was not to the
liking of the local people.
It was much the same way with
Carl Zamloch. Oakland boy, who led
the Northwestern League last year.
Nick Williams offered Zamloch to the
Seals for $1000. The price was satis
factory but Wolverton wanted until
the middle of May to decide 'wh'ether
he could use Carl. In short, he didn't
want to pay for his talent until after
strict trial.
Williams turned San Francisco down
cold and a -few days later sold him to
(01
IOEZOE
301
Oakland, with no Quibbling as to the
price.
The Infield will consist, as it looks
Just now. of Koerner at first; Jerry
Down at second; Roy Corhan at short,
and Charlie Pick, once with the Inter
national League and later with the
Athletics, at third. Koerner . and
Downs are undeniably slow, while
Corhan h as no speed to mention. Pick
may be all right and then again he
may be all wrong.
In the outfield Wolverton has Ruteo
Ellis. Justin Fitzgerald and Calvo,
with Maisel as a possibility. They are
all left-handers and not only does the
club lose a nifty sticker In Bodle, hut
a southpaw sticker as well.
Maisel has not, up to this writing,
sent in h)s contract and he has de
clared that either he will get his salary
boosted or he will be left somewhere
In the East.
There is to be a decided change so
far as the catching brigade is con
cerned. Del Baker will be the lead
ing backstop of the league, taking the
place of Walter Schmidt, who was the
stronghold two seasons back. Louis
Sepulveda. with C. Hall and. Dent, of
Stanford, novices, complete the list.
There has been some talk to the effect
that before the season starts Wolver
ton will dispose of Sepulveda. Louis
isn't the brainiest backstop in the
world and. what Is more, he is weak
as a sticker and slow on his feet.
All told, it doesn't appear the San
Francisco clul ie due to win any pen
nants In 1917.
The wiseacres are predicting that
Frank Chance has the class of the
Coast League and that he will romp
home, unless there are some unfore
seen accidents. He has certainly
strengthened his club and will do more
in that line by the time the Cubs are
ready to hed their extra talent.
From this distance what McCredle
and his Portland outfit will accomplish
Is more or less guesswork. Mac has a
lot of twlrlers who rank well on their
minor league form, but whether they
will flo as well In class AA clubs Is an
other contingency.
Del Howard is apparently much up
in the air aa to his own Oakland club.
He will start with a fairish lot of
pitchers, but he certainly doesn't know
at this writing what he Is going to do
when It comes to the Infield.
The team has something like 15
novices who are to be tried out. This
band of raw recruits was tested at the
Oakland grounds last Thursday after
noon, but there wa little real oppor
tunity to pick out the stars, and How
ard will have to take the entire lot of
them into camp If he wants to be sure
of himself.
What is more, he is lacking a catch
er of real worth and the sorry showing
of SJan Frnnclsco last year attested
that a backstop of merit is an abso
lute necessity.
Truth to tell, the team seems far
from being a pennant winner.
Salt Lake seems able to hold within
the first division, but Bernhard is sura
to miss Pitchers Piercey aid Flttery.
He has a few new ones, chiefly Dubuc.
the slow-ball artist of Detroit, but
what some of the sluggers are likely to
do to a slow-tall pitcher is a shame to
relate.
Otherwise the club Is Just about
along the lines of 'IS. and the infield,
particularly, 'seems able to hold Its
own.
Begins to look as if the Coast League
has sicked George Stovall onto Walt
McCredie. There has been a little too
much of this "brother stuff" in Coast
League circles, and the powers that be
are beginning to realize a little oral
fighting now and then will wake up
the fans.
Real bloodshed is not expected to
follow, but McCredle. once he arrives
In San Francisco, can be depended
upon to hold up his own end, so far aa
talking is concerned.
So far as that is concerned. McCredle
Is quite big enough to throw Stovall.
the firebrand, off the diamond, and
perhaps some sort of spectacle will
occur.
FRED FULTONTS POWER GAINED
BY HIS WORK AS PLASTERER
Shoulders and Back Developed by Swinging Trowel Frank Force Says
It Will Be Curtains for Jess if He Meets Fred.
BY FRANK O. ME.N'KE.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24. (Special.)
Learn to swing a trowel if you
yearn to become a pugilist.
"That's how Fred Fulton did it." an
nounces Frank Force, who guides the
destinies of Jess Willard's next foe.
The Minnesota giant was a plasterer
in the earlier days He'd do a bit of
wallpapering now and then.
' "That's the why and the because of
the tremendous blow ie can hit from
short range." explained Force. "Con
stant reaching up for the purpose of
slamming plaster and paper gave to
Fred the most wonderfully developed
pair of shoulders In America.
Power Exceeds Blacksmith's.
"A blacksmith." added Force, "de
velops most of his power in the fore
arm. Most other tradesmen develop
only their forearms. But a plasterer
ah! He develops the shoulder and the
back muscles the real ones: the mus
cles that enable Fred to hit as power
ful a blow with a Jab motion as other
men can generate with a full body
swing." ' , t , .
"How'd he get that corkscrew twist
to his punches plastering?" asked an
auditor. -
"Surest thing you know." ejaculated
Force. "A plasterer has to slam large
gobs of the mixture on walls and ceil
ings. Unless he is quick and can twist
his trowel around with lightning
strokes the plaster will drop to the
floor. See? Well, Fred was a good
man at his trade. He learned how to
make that quick hand-wrist twist. And
now he'r. using It in the ring.
"Plasterer's Twist Effective.
"What d.o you call that punch of his
that left Jab that twists as It hits a
man's Jaw?"
"The plasterer's twist that's It." an
swered Force "the punch that will
make Fred Fulton the next heavy
weight champion of the world if he
ever gets a chance against illard."
"Do you thin he'll get one?"
"Tom Jones promised It and Tm
taking Tom at his word. A year or so
ago when a Fulton-Willard meeting
was first broached, Tom said Fulton
could have a match as soon as he had
made a. reputation for himself. Well, I
guess Fred has arrived. Fred is the
logical foe. He's the only man in
America who has a chance against Wil
lard. If he gets it. goodnight Willard!"
'"tm yes -mebbe so." murmured a
bystander, "but Willard might have
Just a little wee bit to say about It."
"Not after the first gong banged,
snapped Force. "Fulton today is a
better man than Tlllard ever was. And
Willard Is far from his superb Havana
condition. Figure out the thing for
yourseii.
"On one hand you have Fulton. 27
years old. in the pink of fighting con
dition; fast, shifty and a tremendously
powerful hitter. He couki go Into the
ring tomorrow to meet Willard. Ful
ton is right in his prime, goaded on by
tne ambition to become champion, with
everything to gain and nothing much
to lose in a fight with Willard.
Jess Growtaar Old.
"On the other mitt Is Willard. He
says he Is 29 or 30, but some reports
are current that he Is much older. Wil
lard hasn't fought a real fight for near
ly a year. He has kept in condition
to a certain extent. Yet If he was signed
up for a fight with Fulton he would
want a month or six weeks for train
ing. Jess is going, nqf coming. Fur
thermore. Jess would be flghtin;- under
the handic-.' of having a title-to de
fend. "Look at the situation, pro and. con,
fore and au and there's but one con
clusion Fred Fulton will win by a
knockout over Jess Williard the first
time they meet,'
CENTRAL OREGON BOYS BUST
R. Tj. Schee, of rrlnevlllo, An
nounces Chances for Team Good.
R, L. Schee, manager of the Prlnevllle
Commercial Club, writes to the effect
that everything Is coming along good
in Central Oregon with the prospects
fine for & baseball team. There Is
some talk of & Central Oregon League,
comprising Bend. Shevlin-Hlxon of
Bend, Redmond and Prlnevllle.
Mr. Schee has extended another In
vitation to the winners of the Inter

FITZ IKES DEBUT
CHURCH
SUNDAY
'Ruby Rob," ex-Heavyweight
Champion, Ready to Sur
render and 'Hit the Trail
CONSCIENCE WORRY LONG
Under Banner of Temperance and
Clean Llvliig, Noted ex-Pugilist
Will Carry Out Mother's Hopes
and Become Minister.
BT HARRY M. GRAYSON.
In a San Francisco church picked out
by his evangellstlo wife "Ruby Robert"
Fitzsimmons. ex-heavyweight champion
of the world, according to his present
plana, next Sunday will make his debut
as a preacher.
The great Cornish warrior definitely
has decided to become a full-fledged
evangelist and battle the devil as he did
the great rlngsters of his day. "I'll
work my famous shift on him and
shoot me left hand Into his stomach
there you have Bob Fitzsimmons' ldea
of saving eouls.
Yes. Bob's going to get on Billy Sun
day's beat. His wife, who has estab
lished several homes and tabernacles
In different sections of the country,
knows the ropes and is tutoring the
speckled gladiator, so when he makes
his debut he promises to knock 'em
out of their seats.
"Xew Staff to n Palled.
Fitzsimmons promises to pull a lot
of new stuff. He Intends to follow the
Bible aa closely as possible, but still
express his sentiments In his own old
fashioned way. He'l Just tell the folks
what he's striving for; that U what
Bob Fitzsimmons intends to do.
Fits says he has been struggling
with his conscience for a long while
for years but at last he has triumphed
and is going to surrender hi life to
the service of the Lord at the end of his
theatrical contract in Kansas City nine
weeks hence.
Bob declares that he is going to pre
sent his body as a living sacrifice to
God and enlist under the banner of
temperance and clean living. When Bob
was a boy of 14 years he' close to 55
now it was his mother's ambition for
him to be a minister.
Voice of Mother Heard.
Lately he Insists that he has heard
the voice of his mother when she ad
vised him to leave the ring and en
gage in the ministry.
Fits Is emphatic in his stand that
he never again will make another the
atrical contract. He's .going to turn his
back to physical fighting ami all that
it ntfans and follow the "Prince of
Peace" as much ns possible.
He says the bloody conflict aboard
had something to do with his obedience
to his mother and his conecience. Bob
has still a few years before him. but
not enough to return to God his grati
tude for the blessings showered on
him.
"I never liked fighting.' said Flt
last night, as he stood dressed In a
beaver cap and coat which makes hlni
look like a Cornish officer in the Eng
lish army. He switched off. then in an
swer to a question, and commenced to
explain how Jim Jeffries beat him at
his own game when they met for tha
second and last time at San Francisco
July 25, 1902.
The sparkle in the old eyes, the ex
pression on a face marked slightly,
considering the many hard battles, and
every move of this grand old guy of
pugilism made one rather disbelieve
that Fits never liked fighting.
"Knock Mm Out," In Cry.
"For seven rounds I pummeled Jeft
at will." went on Ruby Bob. "His eye
brows hung down on his cheeks and the
crowd was half sitting, half standing,
waiting for the finish. 'Knock Mm out
put him out of misery!' I tell you, boy,
they were yelling that a I went to my
corner at the end of the seventh.
"In the eighth I battered Jeff until
I had him in a position where I coull
work my shift. I pulled back my left
arm and as I did so he came across
with one desperate right punch to the
solar plexus and my golden opportunity
to regain the title was gone. Tis all
right, though! Jeff had enough left to
beat me with my best punch."
As Robert Fitzsimmons wa explain
ing that punch and stood before me
Just prior to tapping my stomach with,
his left hand, believe me, the little
party of listeners realized what H.
ranttr: wonderful battler he was in his
prime.
But next Sunday at San Franclsca
Bob makes his debut as an evangellsu
He's off the theatrical and fighting
stuff and from the time his theatrical
contract expires he'll be fighting the
devil, and he'll flop him as sure as
you're alive.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons No. 4 Is with him
here now. She will accompany Bob and
Bob, Jr. to San Francisco tonight,
whence she will go to hen home in Los
Angeles after Bob and the boy get
through "playing time" in the Seal
Rocks City.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons will wait until the
pair are through with the footllght
Job and then she and the great Robert
will batter the devil "till the cows coma
home."
Mrs. Fitzsimmons was Temo Zillenn,
a French vaudeville singer, when she
met Bob In Cleveland almost three
years ago. She was born in Marseilles,
France.
