Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOMAX. PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 23, 1917. BEAVERS DEFEAT NEGROES, 6 TO 5 Penner Hit Hard Early and Is Replaced by Schatzlein, Who Shows Up Well. BIG CROWDS SEE GAMES Portland Contingent Draws so Well That Already Half of $4000 Guarantee Has Been Paid and Profit Is Likely. BT ROSCOB FAWCETT. HONOLULU, Feb. 24. (Special. Portland's Pacific Coast League ball club broke into the win column here today, defeating the Infantry negroes, 6 to 6. before a big crowd. Kenneth Penner, the lanky young- heaver from Marshalltown. started on the hillock for the Beavers, but was hit hard, the negroes scoring two runs in the three Innings he labored. Desirous of winning In view of the game lost Thursday, Manager McCre die jerked Penner and started Herman Echatzlein, Los Angeles recruit, in the fourth. Schatzlein pitched splendid ball as he did on Washington's birthday against the Schofield Barracks nine, but was poorly supported. Marshall's Arm Is Bad. Catcher Bob Marshal, who came from Omaha for "Rip" Hagerman, had an off day in his throwing, the negroes stealing several bases, which kept Echatzlein in the hole continually. To cap the climax Marshall ij charged with two passed balls, each allowing a registration. Merle "Wolfer's muff In left field allowed the third run off the (southern California southpaw, who has the marks of a great hurler. The Infantry negroes did riot score an earned run off of Schatzlein. The score should have been 6 to 2. Following is the summary. R. H. E. Portland 8 7 4 Infantry 6 7 4 Batteries Portland, Penner, Schatz lein and Marshall; Infantry, Jasper, Anlston and Johnson. Both Jasper and Aulston, the two negro pitchers, are in fine shape and showed the Oregon swatters a good fast ball. Each team obtained seven eafo blows, although the Portland bat ters' hits were more on the genuine order. Outfielder - Kenneth Williams, who starred ' at the bat for the Mackmen Thursday, and Infielder Ralph Plnelli, the San Francisco "busher," led the at tack for Portland with two safe hits each. Dennis Wilie, Captain Bill Rod gers and Shortstop Charley Hollocher each swatted one where there was no fielder. Pitcher's Support Poor. As said in the foregoin, neither the Portland infield nor the outfield sup ported Chucker Schatzlein in very high order. Four errors, one a glaring one by Outfielder Wolfer, were committed by the boys, who have not yet quite god rid of their sea-legs. Four errors are also down on the book for the col ored lads, who have the best ball club on the islands. The infantry negroes are the tossers w ho . walloped Charley Swain's All Stars here last Winter. They are all in excellent condition, as a result of playing ball continually. Pitcher Kenneth Penner is far from being- in shape. He has not his full Btrength. Just before reporting In Portland for the trip he had his ton sils removed at his home in Qulin, Mo., and was fed soup throuh a straw for four or five days Just before rab bin the rattler for Oregon. The big fellow's skin is still rather white and his face looks a bit drawn. He lobbeed the balls up to the colored batters during his three innings on the hill. Manager McCredie has instructed him to do so for the first two weeks of the training season-. Then too Pen ner. you know, has had a whirl In the big show, Portland securing hkn from Cleveland, who purchased him from Marshalltown, of the Central Assocla-, a class D league. The most pleasing thing of today's frame in the eyes of Manager McCredie was the hitting of Pinelli who stood at the plate like a regular hitter tak ing a healthy cut at the old pellet and sending it far in the outfield for his two safe hits. With today's crowd and the one of Thursday, one-half of the 400 guar antee given Portland is made up and the Beaver management expects to make some money on its training trip for the first time in years. Portland has an option on one-half of the gross gate receipts. Portland plays the Chi nese team tomorrow and Walter Mack expects another win.

The Portland uncle teams made their final appearance here of the 1916-17 season of the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey' Association against the Vancouver Millionaires. The Canadians won. 6 to 4, but only r the "skin of their teeth." Captain "Moose" Johnson and his teammates put up a brand of hockey that would do credit to world's, champions. When the first period ended-jthe count stood 2 to 0 in favor of Vancouver and at the end of the second 20 minutes of play the register showed 5 to 4. A sensational brand of hockey was dished up during the final canto, but the defence work of each septet was far the best seen here this year. By winning tonight the Millionaires are still in the race for the championship of the league. The league-leading Se attle Mets have one more regular game to play and that is with Portland on the Oregon ice next Friday night. Vancouver has Spokane to tangle with on Tuesday and on Friday for the final windup. A victory for Portland and two victories for Vancouver will put the leadership in a tie, and then a post season game will have to be staged to determine who meets the Eastern champions for the world's title, FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE LAST V. f The 1916-17 season ofthe Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association will be brought to a close next Friday night when the Portland Uncle Sams tangle with the Seattle Mets in the Portland Ice Palace. The three former Winni peg amateurs, Dick Iryln. Clem Loughlin and Stanley Marples, are figuring seriously on leaving for their homes immediately after the match. Portland Played Vancouver at Vancouver, B. C, last night. Seattle won from Spo kane, 9 to 7, at Seattle Friday sight. OATfifj CASE HURTS Seattle Recognizes Portland Got Bad Deal. BRONSON MORE POPULAR Portland Boxer Much Likotl In Northern City Northwestern League May Make a Run Again If War Does Not Come. BT PORTCS BAXTER. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 24. (Spe cial.) Seattle hockey players and fans pulling desperately for Portland, in dignation over the case of Eddie Oat- man, former cantain of the Portland hockey club, increased popularity of Muff Bronson, the Portland boxer, numerous additions to the rosters of the various Northwestern League base ball clubs, and the restoration of har mony between the University of Wash ington and Oregon Aggies basketball forces were local features of the pass ing show in sportdom for the past week. Presuming that advance reports about the Oatman case are correct it is not surprising that the Pacific Coast Hockey Association is up in arms. Oat man had much to do with Portland's victory in the Coast race in 1916. and he would have been a tower of strength to the attack this year. He was re leased on the supposition that he had enjisted with the 228th battalion for service in tne war, ana tnat he was not to receive salary for playing with the team that represented the battalion in Eastern Canada hockey. If the story that comes from Van couver deals in facts alone, Oatman did not enlist although he wore a uniform. When the battalion left for the other side of the water Oatman did not ac company it; instead he returned to his B'NAI B'RITH FIRST BASKETBALL 145-POUND CHAMPIONSHIP OF PORTLAND. pi xi y.

Conn, Anrbach (With Ball( and William Krause. The B'nai B'rith first basketball squad, which claims the 1917 145-pound championship of Portland, has won 10 games and is charged with no de feats. The team has been lined up to play the George Washington Camp "Wows." but at the last moment the match was called off. when Manager Abe Popick, of the "Wows," is said to have wanted to strengthen his aggre gation by the addition of several new faces. The B'nai B'rith contingent wanted to play the "Wows" quintet, which, originally started the season. TIME PORTLANDERS WILL HAVE SAM IN ACTION DURING 1916-17 SEASON. home in Ontario, discarding the uni form of- the soldier. It is further rep resented that Oatman was to receive 1200 for his services, only $400 of which has been paid. As the story reads it would appear that the bat talion hockey club expelled Oatman, not the National Hockey Association. . Irrespective of the outcome it is a bad mess, and should be investigated thoroughly to determine whether the deal was confined to the battalion club and Oatman, or whether the officials of the National Hockey Association were cognizant of what was going on. The National Hockey Association may be able to show that it was not a party to the deal, but that only partly relieves the situation. The alleged facts show that Portland was a victim of misrepresentation irrespective of where the responsibility rests. Such moral obliquity is difficult to con ceive. "Muff Bronson, the Portland light weight, continues to win popularity in Seattle. Perhaps Madden shaded him in their last bout and then again per haps he did not. A draw would not have injured either of them. Bronson has never given an indifferent ac count of himself before local fans and that with his cleverness explains why he constantly is gaining in popular favor. He is working pretty hard these days, so it would not be surpris ing if be found it to his advantage to take a rest. The four-round stuff is not supposed to take so much out of a lad as the longer distances, but the de sire of the crowds for action tends to make the pace fast. The Northwestern League clubs are sufficiently well lined up to start the training season March 25, but indica tions are that it will be nearer March 1 before they take the feld. If there is no call to arms the season probably will open about the- middle of April, at least a little earlier than last year. Despite the uncertainty of our rela tions with Germany ,and Austria the schedule making cannot well be de ferred much longer, so the directors will gather in Spokane March 4 to wrestle with the problem. In case of war, I doubt if the league turns a wheel. ... When the University of Washington basketball players recently returned from their Southern trip they com plained that the Oregon Aggies had been unsportsmanlike in greasing their warriors. The charge caused a flutter TEAM, WHICn CLAIMS THE 1917 A CHANCE TO SEE THIS UNCLE of excitement; but now it is all over and the Oregon boys are In the clear. It appears that some ointment had been put on a bruise during the play and the Washington boys got their hands in it. Thus one cause of war has been removed, and then again the Washington boys are playing" better ball, so they feel happier. ... Unnoticed, and unheralded a bill to permit ten-round boxing under com mission government was introduced in the Legislative a few days ago. It went In with the rush of pet measures at the last moment. During the past two sessions many of the members have been Inclined to deal liberally with boxing, but sooner or later some pa triotic "reformer" pulls that old stuff about "where is my wandering boy to night" and the "brutality" of boxing Immediately becomes apparent.. .

GOOD MEN ARE DEVELOPED Club Will Have Entries in Pacific Northwest Association Meet at Seattle and National Con tents Here in May. Wrestlers at the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club are working hard in preparation for the Pacific North west Association championships slated for Seattle next month and the Na tional championships which will be held In Portland under the auspices of the Winged "M" institution May 11 and 12. Tho weekly contests for the Edgar E. Frank medals have brought out a great number of hitherto unnoticed men who undoubtedly will be heard from In the Northwest and National meets. Among the most promising- of the new knights of the mat are Earl Larrlmore. 125 pounds; George Con way, 145 pounds: A. P. Tauscher. 158 pounds, and Van Vleeck, 175 pounds. Of course Virgil Hamlin. George Clark, George Hansen. Carl Freilinger, Howard V. J. Stokes, Ed Muck and Os wald Day are the mainstays of In structor O'Connell's team, but the popular mentor wishes to get the new comers in fettle so that he can enter both tournaments. ' ... Edgar E. Frank, who is In New Tork now, has received assurances from all the large clubs throughout the country that they will be represented in the National championships which Portland luckily obtained. This is the second time that this city has had a National affair. In 1911 grapplers from all sections of the United States competed here at the Heilig Theater for two days, and the fans were treated to the greatest and most exciting amateur wrestling ever seen on the Coast. The champion ships In that meet were distributed from coast to coast. The 115-pound class went to the Olympic Club. San Francisco; the 125 pound was won by a representative from Newark. N. J.; the 135-pound class was captured by Oscar Franke, of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club; Chicago took the 145-pound championship when Milchewskl beat several entries; Chris Gesek, of Spo kane, who is now wrestling as a pro fessional, won the middleweight cham pionship, and a New Orleans boy car ried away the 175-pound blue ribbon. Polly Grimm, football star and repre sentative of the Seattle Athletic Club on tho mat, won the heavyweight hon ors. ... Five boxers will accompany In structor O'Connell to the Pacific North west Association championships at Seattle. They are: Tom Louttlt, 175 pounds; Harry Hansen, 145 pounds; "Rusty" Uroce and Kelleher, 135 pounds, and Ralph Underwood at 115 pounds. ... The club members are looking for ward to next Wednesday night's bouts, which will be held in the gymnasium. The first match will be between How ard Stokes and George Convay and the second between A. P. Tauscher and "Colly" Wheeler. All are at catch weights. There is a great deal of ri valry between the boys. The wrestling promises to be full of thrills, as each man is determined ' to win. Matches will begin at 9 o'clock. The wrestling class goes on after the matches. Just like on any other Wednes day. ... It is doubtful If George McCarthy, Pacific Coast and Northwest amateur middleweight grappler and for a long time star of the O'Connell stable, will enter either the Pacific Northwest As sociation or the National champion ships as a representative of the Winged "M," as he is in California traveling for a tobacco concern. Boxing seems to have been re juvenated at the club. A great many of the members are taking it up as a physical exercise, and it bids fair to become-even more popular at the in stitution. Cbess E. H.

The Acacia Club came off victorious In the great chess battle between the .even teams of the lnter-Clty Chess League. The Multnomah team was a close second. The deciding game of chess between these two teams was one of the best played, and con sumed more time possibly than any other of the entire series. It was played between A. G. Johnson and C. T.
