The ' Portland squad already Is In Honolulu. Oakland, which made such - a poor showing last season, now is under the leadership of Del Howard, one time ma jor league player and ex-manager of the San Francisco club.

An up-to-date ball grandstand Is In process of construction in this city at 1 Recreation Park to replace the old i wooden structure, which has been In ' service during the past decade. It will : be ready for opening day. Coast League Gossip. DR. LESLIE CLOUGH, who trained the Beavers laBt year and iow physical director at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. Is laughing over the report from Honolulu that Manager McCredle was the most sea sick person of the Beaver party on the seven-day Journey to Kanakaland. "I'll never be sick," said Mack to the doctor ten daye before departing. "I've made three or four trips from Ban Francisco by water now and I'm pre pared." Dr. Clough kept telling Walter that rie'd be sick, for he happened to know that the Beaver chief had a touch of trouble on each water Jaunt he made. TSut Walter Mack insisted that he'd pull through. Frank Gerth, who forages photo graphs for The Oregonian. tells a good one which Frank LeRoy Chance pulled at the Vaughn-street park last Sum mer. Chance's club was being walloped by Portland and a leather-lunged fan In the stand was continually howling at the Peerlees Leader. "Bunch of bushers why don't you p-et a ball club? chesty, husky. Chance." etc. The Peerless Leader stood It as long as he could and then stretched his neck up over the roof of the dugout and howled: ( "Why do you spend your money to see a rotten ball game. You ought to have your teeth fixed!" The rabid "panner" had nothing more to say. 'If It were not for Frank Callahan, Td never have gone to the Northwest ern League," Bobby Coltrin. The Spokane Inf ielder passed through Portland Thursday on his way to San Jose, where he will vttMt his folks be fore reporting at Boyes Springs. When Bobby was last with the Beav ers, McCredle brought him toPort land on the first trip home. Frank Callahan, prominent local fan, and Col trin were fast friends from the first day that Bobby stepped into this city as a member of the Portland Colts. Well, to make a long .story short, the two "C's" stepped some the first week Bobby was in Portland as a candidate for the Portland Coasters. McCredle got sore one day and after one of the morning talks to the boys shipped Coltrin to Spokane. "Cal" and Bobby had lunch together laflt Thursday. "Remember, If I, make good with Oakland and come to Portland, Frank, no more parties and besides you know I'm m-a-r-r-i-e-d n-o-w," said Bobby. "Dutch" Leonard, star left-hander of the world's champions, has agreed to pitch for his native town, Fresno, when the Cubs' second team plays there next month. Leonard expects to report at the Red Sox training camp, and, like Carl Mays, settle contract differences at that time. . ' , The Bees' list of aigrled players has been' swelled to 12. following tele graphic orders sent ont by the club to all players, instructing them to report at Porterville Monday. The most recent men to sign are Morris Rath, Karl Crandall, Jack Tobin, Tom .Hughes and Chester Hoff. . The players who had previously at tached their names to contracts are Truck Hannah, Earl Sheeley, Bliss. Stanley Dougan, Dicky Bayless, Buddy Ryan and Gaard Glslason.

Three Boats Lined Tp for March . Manager George Moore, of the Golden West Athletic League, has lined 'up three good bouts which will top his card of March S at the Rose City Ath letic Club.

BEAVERS DIDNT PAY DUES Dave Fulta "Pulled a Boot In Issu ing Defl to Major League Own ers," Says Player Who Takes to Buttermilk Diet Now. Dennis Wilis Is a scrapper and lie is- a member of the Baseball Players' Fraternity, but Denny thinks that Dave Fultz was 10O0 miles off hla base on the strike matter. Wille says he Joined the Frat three years ago but has paid no dues since and does not intend to pay any until the fraternity Is reor ganized with a special man to look after each league. "It is ridiculous to suppose that one man In New lork can represent all of the leagues from the majors down to tne u leagues," is Denny's view. "There shoald be a president of each Frat branch in each league. For In stance, we hould have a man like Dave Fultz In San Francisco to look after our interests and each other AA league should have somebody to look after them. Fultz could well handle the two Dig jesrgrues. "It seems to me he pulled a boot In Issuing his defl to the major league owners when he did. He should have waited until he had the boys together. The fellows would have stuck In a gang then, but I'm afraid the Frater nity strike woald have fizzled If he Jad gone through. I don't blame Will iams, of the Chicago Cubs, for throw ing up his hands la disgust and quit ting the fraternity Fultz called the strike order to take effect the day the Cub special pulled out of Chicago. Meantime the other players of other clubs could sit back and watch how the Cub players came out. If they were licked, the others could get on the band wagon and tho Cubs would be the goats." Wille says the fraternity had no representative on the Portland club last season and he doesn't believe any of tho Beavers paid dues. Wilie wants to have a good year this season, and he says he is on the buttermilk diet for good and all. No lobster palaces and a feather tick at 10 P. M. Is Denny's war cry. s Tou can sever tell where one of those German submarines will bob up next, and Johnny Brandt Is mighty tickle -i to be beyond the pale of the Canadian secret service, and in Hon olulu. - . Brandt Is the tall boy who pitched for "Red" Rupert's club in the Inter city League, in Portland. He is a farmer youth, unehaved. a bit un kempt about the hat rim. and some what unsophisticated In the ways and wiles of the world. His home Is at Gilbert Station, Just east of Portland. Some of the boys worried him a bit before he left home because of his Teutonio ancestry. "Better drop the "d" In your name or they'll have you In a concentration camp," suggested Jiles Rupert. "No; I ' have a better suggestion," chimed in Dr. Leslie Clough. "Drop the "d" and put an '"O" before your name. ' That will make it "O'Brant" and you ought to pass with that." So "O'Brant" It was until the Beav ers were Bafely aboard the Niagara and outside the three-mil limit. Zweifel, another Portland semi-professional, is a German, and he got by "without trouble by changing his name to good, old-fashioned Murphy. Stumpf, Schatzleln, Holfrich. f?tgbee and Hollocher all boches were hard ly questioned by the government offi cers, as their affiliation with the Port land ball club was known. Even the baggage was unmolested because bound from an American port to an American port. Penn State Grapplers Win. STATE COLLEG7, Pa.. Feb. 24.

LARRY M'LEAN is playing an ac cordion, and. horrors of horrors. In a barroom, too. The tangled skein ofate has Caught the Irresistible Larry, late star of the New York Giants' catching forces. Larry, who shone In the world's series: Larry, upon whom Matty has been counting so strongly to do sotrre of the backstopping for his Cincinnati Reds during the National League's coming season. The fiam McLean who caught for Portland in 190S. Lithe-limbed Larry Is now prancing about the floor of a saloon In New Jersey. Those sinuous arms which whipped the ball to second and caught many a baserunner on his tardy way to the keystone sack, are now engaged in squeezing popular airs out of an old accordion. But the peerless Matty need not shed any bitter tears, John McGraw need not hold. Larry up as an object lesson to his youthful rookies, for McLean, as they say in basebailese, Is still in the. pink of condition. He has not fallen from grace. The saloon in which he vents his musical skill Is merely that repre sented by a motion picture "set." Larry, following in yi footsteps of the Immortal Ty Cobb, has succumbed to the lure of the photoplay camera. Nor did he succumb alone. With him went Walter Bennett, who cavorted with the Pittsburg pirates not so long since. . Both of these baseball artists will appear In a production now being made. Bennett's debut in the silent drama will be in a position similar to that of McLean. Larry is sort of "filling In for the films" until Spring training begins for tho Cincinnati team, which he will then Join. "Baseball's all right," hs said, "but " He stopped to survey the. palms of his hands, calloused from years of service behind the bat. "Well," he continued, "it's muoh more pleasant to have the camera Instead of a speed-demon pitcher 'shooting' at you." Porterville. where the Salt Lake ball FREDDIE BOGAN OFFERS ALIBI FOR FRANKIE BURNS' DEFEAT Promoter Says His Boy Had Palmer Beaten, When Referee Astounded Crowd by Stopping Bout at Sight of Claret. FREDDIE BOGAN, old-time boxer, who now spends his time in try ing to make cards out of bum boxers, writes from San Francisco a breezy letter to Manager Fred T. Mer rill, of the Rose City Athletic Club. Read It for yourself: "I got the worst deal I ever had In my long experience in the boxing game February 16, when 'Seattle Frankie' Burns met Eddie Palmer here. Burns was beating Palmer a city block the first two rounds. In the third round Burns' lip was cut and the blood showed. "That gave the referee the signal to stop It. The crowd was dumbfounded. It thought Burns ' had commltteed a foul. Burns can beat Palmer every day In the week and twice on Sunday. I also have a crackerjack lightweight who will make a great hit every place he starts, 'Bull' Young. "He can make 128 pounds, but will take them on up to 13a. Would like to get him on with 'Muff Bronson or any of them. FREDDIE BOGAN." "Seattle" Frankie Burns was so badly worsted by Eddie Palmer (col ored), of New Orleans, that the referee had to stop the conflict in the third canto. Those who have followed Burns know ha can't deliver the goods. Palmer Is the same negro boy who was beaten twics hero by Valley Tram bitas. Palmer has grown to be quite a card In San Francisco since defeating Bat tlHig Ortega, of Oakland. Walter Miller, world's middleweight wrestling champion, has received an offer to go to San Francisco and do exhibition work at a cafe. He is now dickering with F. W. Swanberg, man ager of the cafe. . Joe Carr, Minneapolis middleweight. would like to wrestle either Eddie O'Conneil or Walter Miller in P6rt land.

Port land at Los Angelea club will train this Spring, is a com munity of 600O inhabitants, and is lo cated in Tulare County, California, near the center of the state and mid way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It has an Ideal climate for the con ditioning of athletes. The roses are in full bloom before 'the time of the year when baseball players begin to try out their arms, and that the citrus Industry Is the principal form of pro ductive effort of the town should be sufficient to recommend the climate. A baseball player needs warmth to round him into shape, and Porterville supplies that warmth, without adding many of the disagreeable features which are found at places nearer the sea. The town is at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and possesses an invigorating atmosphere, along with its warm weather. Fine automobile roads and Interesting mountain trails lead to numerous resorts In the hills. A new ball field Is now In course of construction, men with teams dragging plows and harrows and drags and rol lers are busy every day. The ball park will be- in excellent shape by Tuesday. In connection with the First Congre gational Church there Is a big gym nasium, and the use of this place and Its apparatus has been tendered the Saints. Big Fred Fulton, the mountainous man-killer from Minnesota, was dis qualified In one of his early ring con tests, and he learned a lesson that taught him to take his time in going after an opponent in the squared circle. It was back In 1914. when Fulton was new In the game. He was matched to box a second-rater In Hudson, Wis., and, although he had not been fightiag long, be was confident that he could win by a knockout. Fulton had an argument with the promoter whereby he was to get 12 50 if he won and $160 If he lost. Some of his friends bet a wad of dough that he would knock his man out, and Frederick was so con fident that he bet $100 the same way. When they got Into the ring It be came evident to Fulton that his op ponent meant to keep covered up and stick ten rounds. In his effort to un cover him he fouled his adversary and lost the money. into a match with him, but they evl , dently are afraid, and have crawled out of every match with him on some excuse or other.

He says Ajax mailt the weight when he defeated Ted Thye at Colfax. Wash., a while back, taking two falls in I hour and 30 minutes.

Miller and Ajax are the best mtddleweights, and as Ajax has de feated Thye he should, get a chance at Miller. The time has arrived when Fred Ful ton must be taken seriously as a pros pective opponent for Jess Wlllard. More than that. One must look upon Fulton opponent for Wlllard. the In taking Fulton seriously. in ex- ecutlng the right-about-face. there need be no apologies. When Tom Jones and Jack Curley a year ago tried to foist Fulton on the publics with Willard there was no rea son to approve of such a match. Ful ton had accomplished nothing which would cause a reasonable person to i Rut ilnrp then Vultnn hm nrnvMt his class. He knocks out opponents wtth the same ease thut Wlllard might be expected to. So you had better be preparing for all the newspaper talk that will pre cede a Vlllard-Fulton match. Such a fight Is coming sure as shooting. WASH1XGTOX STATE WAXT9 HIES WITH CALIFORNIA.
