ALL FANS ARE INTERESTED Manager of Vernon Tigers Used to Perform in Portland and East ern Oregon Years Ago Before He Went Up to Majors. ' Figuratively surrounded by Ice packs and with imaginary electric fans In either hand to cool his fevered brow, George Stovall, manager of the Ver non Tigers, will make his debut before a Portland audience as manager of a Coast League club Tuesday afternoon. Mebbe Stovall will tie up at the docks minus his ice poultice and minus his electric fans, and mebbe not. But If he does he will not be living up to his reputation, as tha Vernon leader is the "Human Firebrand" of baseball. Believe it or not, but that's his name. His firebrandlng thus far in the Coast. League race, hasn't seemed . to bother any of the upper-flat" tenants, but he surely is a "bear" firebranding down around the coal chutes. That's where his ball club has been anchored most of the year. It must be a humili ating predicament, too, for a real big league manager who came out here to the "bush' to show up all the "bush" league managers like Walter McCre dle. Stovall publicly proclaimed that he Intended showing McCredie up as a busher. And he has done it if you read the baseball percentage table Chi nese fashion. Judging from his record to date; "Firebrand" Stovall might well offer his services to Uncle Sam as a gas machine. However, firebrand or no firebrand, Stovall interests the local fans im mensely. He used to perform in Fort land and in Eastern Oregon years ago before he began to firebrand in the majors. Following is a brief record of Stovall's ups and downs in baseball: 1002 Seattle. N. W.

At Vaughn street Baby Beavers vs. Northwest &teel Company. At Camas Camas vs. Kenton. William R. Heales sold his Kirk patrick franchise in the Inter-City Baseball League to the Northwest Steel Company, and the latter firm's nine, of the Commercial Baseball League, will make its debut in President Fred Norman Bay's circuit this afternoon, opposing the Baby Beavers at Vaughn street, commencing at 2:30 o'clock. J. R. Bowles' aggregation will play Saturday ball as well. Pitcher Fitz patrlck and Infielder Pinelli, who will rejoin the Portland Pacific Coast League club upon its return home Tuesday, will take part in the fracaa at Vaughn street this afternoon. The former will work for the Northwest Steel Company, while the young Ital ian is slated to play third base for the Baby Beavers. Pitcher Oscar Theander Harstad, the third McCredie man loafing around Portland, will not participate, as he did last Sunday, according to President Bay. George Roberts Grayson, vice president and treasurer of the Inter city Baseball League, who named Clyde Jiles Rupert manager of the Piedmont Maroons, gave the flrey-domed leader the privilege of changing the name of the club back to the Baby Beavers. Ex-Baby Beavers who will play with Clayton Sharp's Northwest Steel Com pany team this afternoon are: Colly Druhot, Billy Stepp, Cack Blanchard and Catcher Cracke. In addition to Fitzpatrlck, the steel company warriors 111 have Al Zwelfel and Helm as pitchers. Zwelfel Is the big Swiss who tried out with the Beavers and Spo kane. He is Just back from the Inland Emolro. Shea will assist Cracke with the Dig mitt. Roy Doty and Al Lodell are two capable inflelders with Sharp's team, Vernon Ayau. the only Chinese short stop in captivity, was due in Portland last nlicht. If he arrived ne may piay with the Northwest Steel Company this afternoon. Ayau might possibly remain In Portland and work at J. R. Bowles' shipbuilding plant. He made excellent showings against the Beavers in Hono lulu and only recently was released by Seattle. Rupert has not announced his pitch In g choice. . The married and single women of the Knights and Ladies of Security will play a three-inning game before the Inter-City League battle commences. Their game will commence at 1:30 o'clock. Kerby Drennen will umpire Vaughn street, while Ed Rankin will handle the Kenton-Camas game at the Washington city. A win for Camas this afternoon would put the paper- makers at the top of the ladder. Thl game will also commence at 2:S0 o'clock. Inter-League Series Abandoned. CHICAGO. May 26. The inter-league series between clubs of the Interna tional League and the American Asso ciation was formally abandoned at a special meeting of the American Asso ciation here today. The vote was unan imous in favor of the cancellation. Stick at Training Camp, but His Present Average With . White Sox Is Only .12 5. "That player can't hit; he never will This comment has spelled the doom of many an ambitious rookie up for trial at Spring training camps. If a player can't hit well on these annual tryout excursions he might as well pack his duds and, prepare to be sentenced indefinitely to a league of lower classification. As proof of this Charley Rlsberg, ex-Tiger and present wnue sox shortstop, might be cited as an example. Risberg might be hobnobbing with the Bengals again this season had he batted on the Spring trip for the same average he has compile! in -he Amer ican League. Yet this same rookie is set down as one of the cogs in the White Sox machine that may land a flag for Chicago and Comlskey. In something like 40 games Risberg Is hitting around .125. He is keeping company with a few pitchers who are not supposed to hit. Doesn't look much like a big league hitter, does he? Yet Manager Rowland wouldn't swap Rls berg for any other shortstop in the American League. This player from the Pacific Coast I League lambasted the ball h. d and often during the Spring training tour of the Sox, and at Madison, Wis., where the Chicago American Leaguers par ticipated in an exhibition game, he slammed a home run against the center Held fence. This Is proof that batting averages don't count, although they are handy In keeping players in the big league. The cases of Ping Bodle, Joe Evans and Harry Wolter are like that of Rlsberg. Louie Guisto's rase Is different, how ever. The big Italian did not hit much at New Orleans for the Indians. But after the season started he commenced to click the pellet. Then he went into a slump and. at present bis mark is in the vicinity of .1S6. Guisto is looked upon as a great prospect and that carried him through the training season. One doesn't know how a ballplayer feels when he is presented with a bunch of flowers, but he always looks as happy as if a Judge were handing him a life sentence. Hank O'Day says this is the worst Spring he has experienced since he has been In basebalL And yet he once managed a team for Charlie Murphy. The transfer of Lefty O'Doul to the Des Moines club by San- Francisco pleased him, for he will get a chance to work in the Western League. ' George Stovall has asked for waivers on four of his bold, bad Tigers who play here next week. Threo soon to try their luck in pastures new are Doane. Chester Chadbourne and-Polly McLarry. Darmody and Stovall are withhold ing the future resting place of the quartet. It is supposed that the other clubs in the Pacific Coast League waived on the Tiger discards, and a deal with clubs outside of the P.-C. L. will be made for all four players. 11-15 2R-19 2S-32 lrt-12 lO- 1 23-19 11-15 31-2tl 1- (D 16-11 9-14 19-1 32-23 17-13 1- 22- 17 15-lSlB 26-19 18-14(E 3- 7 7- 11 22-15 20-24 7-11 - 1 25-22 10-19 22-17 14-10 7-10 11- 16 17-10 24-27 " 12- 8 1-5 27-2-KA 6-13 11- 7 5- P 10-14 16-20 21-17 S-IO ; R- 3 ." 5- 1 132-27 19-24 14- 7 9-14 14-17 8- 11 17-14 27-31 " 11-16 1-5 ! 19-16 24-2S 7-3 14-17 17-22 12- 19 16-11 31-27 i 18-19 6- 9 23- 7 15-1S S- 7 ' 17-21 .

LOS ANGELES. Cal.. May 26. Zeb Terry and Jacques Fournler, utility In fielder and first baseman of the Chi cago Americans, have been bought by the Pacific Coast League Los Angeles team, according to word received here today from John F. Powers, owner of the club. Terry Is to leave Chicago to night and Fournler tomorrow to Join the Angels. Terry was with Los An geles In 1915. Darey to Be Buried in Australia. MEMPHIS, Tenn.. May 26. Arrange ments were completed last night for sending the body of Les Darcy, pugilist, who died here yesterday, to his former home in Australia for burial. Darcy's body will be shipped from Memphis next Monday to San Francisco, where It will be placed aboard a steamer for Australia. Bassler. of Los Angeles; Buddy Ryan. of Salt Lake, and Jocko Fitzgerald, of San Francisco, are proving the Ty Cobbs and Tris Speakers of the Pacific Coast League to date. Bassler leads the league batsmen with a percentasia of .414 in 32 games. Buddy Ryan is again pounding the pellet at a wicked clip of .390. with Fitzgerald located at the .340 notch. Rube Evans, of Salt Lake, leads tho pitchers with six victories in se-en starts. Pete Standrldsre. of Los An geles, ranks close behind with five out of six up to the present series. He lost the opener to Portland, so his record now is five and two. An analysis of the club records shows clearly why the Beavers are not at the top of the ladder. The Portland club is batting next to last, and fielding be hind Salt Lake, San Francisco and Oak land. At the start of the year. Walter McCredie thought he had a corkinjr good offensive team, but the failure of Siglin to hit around .250, together with, the slow start of Borton, StumpX atj4 Farmer, put a crimp in Mack's ambi tions. . i Salt Lake leads the league both in batting and In fielding, with San Fran cisco second. The Salt Lake club's bat ting average is .271. Look at this ar ray: Ryan .390, Tobin .297. Dubuc .300. Hannah .286, Orr .278. Rath .272. and Sheeley .261. Ryan Is the only Bee over the .300 mark, but the team as a whole, Is hitting strong and in the pinches. Leaders in other departments In tho league follow: Leading Tun makers Tobin.

Correction, by Oregus. At tha 18th move of my analysis of problem No. 101 (pub lished in the Tacoma News). 8-4 should have been made Instead of 8-3. This problem is creating considerable Interest at the club. We give another analysis by Oregus which he is confident Is absolutely sound for a draw. After Oregus throws the man, it ta certainly a beautiful problem. When It is thrashed out by the fans, we will publish the Play and diagram the position. Black. 9. 10: kings. 6. 16.
