Fans Soon to Know Something
Definite After League Meet
ing at Seattle. i
TEAM NO WORRY TO JUDGE
'liefty" James to Be Mainstay of
Squad and It Seems Arthur C,
Kilter May Be Another Ivan
Olson at Short.
BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON".
With the Northwestern League meet
inr scheduled for next Thursday In Se
attle It won't be long before the thou
sands of baseball fans Of the North
west will be able to sit down for break
fast and while they sip their coffee
and they can peruse the sport page
and gather some real live dope on
what's doing in baseball.
The uncertainties which have been
attached to the Portland club since the
Pacific Coast League directors saw fit
to remove the franchise to Sacramento
will have passed into oblivion and. with
the exception of those fans who will
follow the doings of the Sacramento
club on account of the large number of
former Portland players on Bill
Rodgers team but little interest will
manifest itself in the Northwest re
garding the outcome of games In Presi
dent Baum's circuit.
Judge McCredie will leave Portland
Wednesday night for Seattle. The fort
land magnate will abide by whatever
the other directors suggest in the mat
ter of schedules, player and salary
limits, etc.
20-Week Schedule Voiced.
McCredie believes that a 20-week
schedule would prove ideal for the
Northwestern, and as it seems to be
the unanimous Idea of all the club own
era In the circuit that such a schedule
would prove profitable from a playing
and financial standpoint, the moguis
undoubtedly will decide to continue
nl.vln. tnr tVifit lencrth of time.
Judire McCredie is not worrylftg
about the lineup for the Portland team
With Walter McCredie hobnobbing
around the East lining up players for
Salt Lake, the Judge is not the least bit
worried but that his nephew win annex
a lew signatures or some promising
players for the Portland Nortnwestern-
ers.
The following players are on the
Portland roster: Roy Ie Grief, Walla
Walla; Lee F. Dempsey, Rock Island
111.: W. L. (Lefty) Jamc :, Portland
Walter Malls (suspended), Seattle; John
D. Martin, Duluth, Minn., and Harry
Morton, San Francisco, pitchers; Arthur
C. Ritter, shortstop," Portland; Henry
Sands and George Armstrong, third
basemen, San Francisco; Floyd (Jack)
Farmer and Cliff Lee, outfielders; Red
Baldwin and Joseph J. Datley, catcher
and pitcher, respectively, who are now
In the Army.
Walter Malla' Caae Fixed.
Walter Malls, who was suspended by
the McCredles last season, will have to
talk "turkey" with Judge McCredie be
fore he will ever be allowed to don a
baseball uniform in organized baseball
Mails, who Is reported to have joined
the service, is still the property of the
Portland club.
Floyd Farmer will be sold to De
troit, or else Walter McCredie will have
him on the Salt Lake club. Portland
should be able to realize a nice piece of
filthy lucre or at least three good play
era in exchange for Farmer, who was
one of the classiest outgardeners In the
league last season.
Red Baldwin, catcher, and Joe Dalley,
pitcher, are in the Army, and, when
their enlistment is up, they will revert
back to the Portland club. Both are
wonderful prospects.
. "Lefty" James Mainstay.
"Lefty" James will be the mainstay
of the Portland pitching staff. When
Jamea hit his stride at the tall-end of
ast season he was a winner for the
McCredles. A number of what Judge
McCredie terms promising bushers
have been signed up to report at traln-
ng camp, and If Manager Paddy Slg-
lln can uncover two twirlers out of
the lot he ought to feel satisfied.
Three semi-pro lnflelders have been
corraled to date. One of these, Henry
Sands, has been promised to Bill Rodg
ers, of Sacramento, and it may be pos-
ible that Rodgers wfll take both
Sands and Armstrong Into camp, as
they are both located at San Francisco,
and it would be cheaper, for McCredie
to have them report to Rodgers, who
can give them the "OO, than to
pend a pile of money bringing them
orth and then having to turn them
adrift if they did not possess the nec
essary requisites.
The one shining prospect McCredie
as lined up In the way of recruit ma
terial is Arthur C. Ritter, a Portland
youth who cavorted at shortstop for
the O.-W. R. N. team the early part
of last season and then joined the Baby
Beavers. Ritter Is a shortstop and
those who have watched the young
ster play about the short patch say he
another Ivan Olson, being a vest
pocket edition of the former Beaver
star.
Ritter handles himself gracefully and
makes hard chances look easy. He
a "bear" on starting double plays
and is ' always cool. He hit with the
rest of the semi-pros last season and
has all the earmarks of a future big
leaguer. Judge McCerdie is banking
Ritter making the utility Job if he
fails to land a regular berth.
Judge McCredie will make no an
nouncement regarding the city where
the Portland team will pitch training
camp until he returns from the North
western League meeting. If the sea
son opens about the middle of May
the team In all probability will train
at home. If the directors decide to
open in April McCredie will be forced
to take his warriors to California,
where the weather is more adaptable
for training purposes.

Sllverton has in the past boasted one
of the fastest teams In the state and
the fastest in the -Willamette Valley.
This year's team is no exception. Man
ager Smith says his boys are In fine

The Live . Wires have some of the
fastest players in the city. Flynn,' who
played on the Columbia varsity last
year, and Duffy, who played a stellar
game on the Foresters last year an

played center for Franklin High last
year, is playing a like position for th

DEER SLAUGHTER URGED
HUNTER PROPOSES THAT ANIMALS
BE KILLED FOR FOOD.
In
It
Letter to Governor Wlthycombe
la Snggeated That After War
Season Could Be Closed.-
Carl D. Shoemaker, State Game War
den, has on file In his office an Inter
esting letter from a woodsman who
has a plan to relieve the food short
age. The letter was written to Gov
ernor Wlthycombe, who referred It to
Warden Shoemaker. Hece it is:
- "I have a suggestion to make in re
gard to? food conservation which I sin
cerely hope may meet with approval.
I propose that there be made a certain
number of official deer and game
hunters In different parts of the state
and allow them to slaughter deer and
all game and' put on the maj-ket for
the public under the supervision of the
state.
After the war we could have a closed
season for ten years if necessary to
bring thegrame back to normal."
"That last clause would be enough
to get a rise out of the hunters," said
Warden Shoemaker. "I'm not quite sure
whether this man wants the state to
finance him on a hunting " trip or
whether he Just wants an open sea
son on the deer. In any case, the Game
Commission will have to disagree with
him."

Where They Play This Week.
Monday night, Portland at Vancouver.
Wednesday night. Vancouver at Portland.
Friday night, Portland at Seattle.
The coming week promises to be a
busy one for Pete Muldoon and his
Portland Ice hockey septet. The Rose
buds pile aboard the rattler today bound
for Vancouver, B. C, where they are
scheduled to clash with Frank Patrick's
Vancouver "Millionaires," tomorrow
night.
Immediately after their battle at
Vancouver both Portland and Van
couver teams will return to Portland
and continue their hostilities on
Wednesday .night. Friday night Seat
tle will entertain the Rosebuds in the
Sound City.
With the number of games scheduled
for this week there are apt to be some
changes in the standings of the three
teams.
Muldoon Players In Shape.
Muldoon's players are In great shape.
Loughlin's injured optic Is not giving
him any trouble and the demon speed
merchant will enter tomorrow night's
fracas at Vancouver feeling in the
pink."
It was the general Impression around
the Ice Palace before Lougrhlin arrived -from
Winnipeg that Al Barbour might
crowd Clem off the regular lineup, but
the idea was " dynamited shortly after
Lougrhlin donned a uniform and started
to show his caliber on the ice. Lough
lin is one of the bright stars of the
Rosebud offense and defense and when
it comes to tearing up and down the
ice he has few equals.
Dubbie Kerr will not join the Rose
buds at Vancouver tomorrow, as had
been hoped, as he has decided to stay
out of the game this Winter.
Portland and Seattle Tied.
Portland and Seattle are tied for
scoring honors. Each aggregation has
netted the puck 12 times while Van
couver has only been able to evade the
opposition's goal tender seven times.
Portland has been scored against seven
times in three games, which gives the
Rosebud's the edge on defensive abil
ity. The Seattle "Mets" have been tal
lied on 16 times In four games while
the Vancouverltes have been able to
stave off all but 11 attempts by their
opponents.
Roberts, of Seattle, with seven goals
to his credit, leads the league. Roberts
thrust the rubber disc past Vancou
ver's goal-tender three times last Fri
day night at Seattle. He is one of the
best men in the league at scoring.
Taylor, Vancouver, and Morris, Se
attle, are tied for second place in the
scoring column with four goals each.
Morris was one of the best point-pro- "
ducers In the league last season and,
together with "Doc" Roberts, his team
mate, should be able to run up enough .
points to keep the "Mets" up around
the top of the percentage column.
Charlie Tobin, Eddie Oatman ana
Tommy Dunderdale, of the Portland
team, are credited with three goals
each. "Moose" Johnson, of the Rose
buds, has scored twice.
Leater Patrick to Front.
Lester Patrick, manager of the Be-
attle team, leads in the assist column
with three successful attempts at pass
ing the puck to one of his teammates
for a goal.
"Cully" Wilson, of Seattle, has drawn
26 minutes of penalties for roughness.
The spunky right-wing player of the
"Mets" always was noted fo rhis ability
to spill an opponent and, if need be, to
take a wallop at him whether the
referee was watching him or not. But,
outside of this defect In Wilson's
ability, he Is a grand player and always
In the game.
Bernie Morris Is second among the
list of offenders, with eight minutes of
enforced rest. Dunderdale, with six
minutes, and Harris with half that
amount, are the only Portlanders In the
"shady" column.
Seattle players have been penalized
for a total of 40 minutes. Vancouver
has drawn 15 minutes of combined pen
alties, while the Portland septet are
charged with nine minutes.
