MM BALLPLAYERS 10 BE UNEMPLOYED Failure of Many Minor Leagues to Start This Year Will Make Matter Simple. MAJORS TO RELEASE MANY McCredle Receiving Letters and Telegrams Dally Asking if Port land Club Is in Market to Pur chase "Excess Baggage." BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. The men behind the guns in base ball's newest organization known as the Pacific Coast International League expect no trouble . at all In signing up enough capable players to frive their patrons a good article of the National pastime, It was thought at first that owing to the numerous enlistments of base ball players of the draft age who have no dependents it would be a hand prop osltlon to sign up talent for the com' lng season, but that Idea seems to have been knocked In the head when it was made known that only a few of the minor leagues of the country would start this season. Hundreds of ballplayers face unem ployment in their chosen profession during the coming season despite the large number of players who have de cided to cast their lot with the U. S. league, which is gradually organizing Itself Into ' the biggest circuit In the world, "overseas." With what talent the Pacific Coast International League magnates have lined up at the present writing, to gether with those players who find themselves out of employment owing to suspension of minor leagues throughout the country, the six clubs in "Prexy" Blewett's "sir-kit" ought to be able to present some formidable lineups, if the salary limit is not at too low a minimum. Minors to Have Excess. Rumors have It that nearly all of the major league clubs will have from 10 to 16 excess players after the sea on starts. These players will have to find employment with some league and would not bo averse to spending a sea son on the North Pacific Coast. If the American Association sets a player limit of 16 men It will have the effect of discarding another batch of players whom the Pacific Coast International League owners could talk "turkey1 with. If the International League does not start It will place between 17S and 200 ballplayers out in the cold, who will bo anxious tosign up with any club Besides these organizations there are number of other minor leagues of ower standing who are very apt not to come up for air when the time ar rives to start the season. Judge McCredle has received numer ous ietters and telegrams from major league club owners inquiring if the Portland club owner Is In the market to purchase the release of players whom they term "excess baggage." Tens Too HIkb. Judge McCredle is willing to listen to the big fellows if they talk terms that are within reach of the judge's batting average with a local bank, but some of the typewritten documents the portly owner of the local franchise has received were so high that it was en tirely beyond McCredle's means to even consider them. The Pacific Coast League will have surplus of material which they un doubtedly will turn over to the Pacific Coast International League. Portland will most likely work in conjunction with Sacramento and Salt Lake. Be tween Bill Rodgers and Walter Mc Credle the local club ought not to worry about where the players will come from. The situation has been thoroughly gone over by the magnates both In the East and on the Pacific Coast, and it seems to be the consensus of opinion that players will be as thick as roses during the month of June. the National championship committee may. deem necessary, for the purpose of encouraging athletic activities In the National Guard mobilized camps and the larger training camps of the naval service, especially in the giving of Amateur Athletic Union camp cham pionship medals for boxing, wrestling, cross-country, and other athletic ac tivities." Entry blanks for the events men tioned and a photograph of a fob medal with khaki-colored braid, and a map showing locations of the various camps, accompanied the resolutions. WEST SIDE CLUB WANTS DATE Tennis Tournament Will Be Staged There, It Is Expected. NEW YORK, Jan. 19. The West Side Tennis f'Aub announced today it would continue to stage the National lawn tennis championship tournament if the National Association desired to award the 1918 date to the club. This deci sion was reached at the annual meet ing of the club here last night. The West Side Club has held both the Na tional tournament and the Davis Cup matches at Forest Hills, L.

Body Votes to Allow Men in Unifonri to Attend Games at General Ad mission Prices Butte Situa tion to Be Looked Into. FORMER PORTLAND BALLPLAYER IS IN AERO SQUADRON. Sergeant Bartholomey Writes From Bellville, III, That He Expect to Leave for "Over There" Soon. Sergeant Al Bartholomey, of the Aero Squadron, Scott Field, Belleville, 111., writes that all is well along the main thoroughfare of his camp and Chat he i - - . : .J'-J :: : PtTf ; . :: WiSiilpli i : f r i 4t: .$ t3 ' 1 Al Bartholemy, Portland Ball player, Who la in Air Service and Likes It. expects soon to journey "r cross" either to France. Italy or Egypt. Bartholomey is the Portland youth who tried out for the catching job with the Portland Beavers in 1916 and was sent by the McCredies to Tacoma for more experience. At the end of the 1916 Northwestern League season Bar tholomey, along with Al Hartman, pitcher, was sold to Denver in the Western League. Bartholomey made good with a vengeance and was figured as first-string catcher until he joined the service. Al likes the Army work as far as he has gone and his promotion has been rapid. "Bart," as he was known among the semi-pro baseball and basketball fraternities, is doing the stenographic work for the Aero Squadron to wTiich e is attached and finds little time to write to his former friends in Port land. Johnny Bassler, Los Angeles catcher, who was to receive a trial with Cleve land this Spring, Is a member of Bar tholomey'e company and the two are having a dandy time. If these two pep pery backstops start pegging lead pills or hand grenades at the Huns when they get "overseas" they ought to be able to play havoc with the "Boches." Hen Berry has inveigled Jerry Downs Into signing a contract to play second base and manage the San Francisco Seals during the coming season. Jerry, along with Bill Rodgers, announced to the dear public that, they were through with baseball for all time, and would peddle automobiles to the public forevermore. But the lure of the great game proved too much for them, and both have signed to go to "work" this season In the usual ca pacity of hitting 'em where they ain't. It is a strange coincidence mat Dom Rodgers and Downs, who are second basemen, snoum go into tne automo bile game, announce their retirement, and then come out of their shell and sign up to manage rival teams in the same league. Biff Schaller, star outfielder on the San Francisco club, and Roxey Mld dleton, of the Oaks, have both an nounced their retirement from baseball, but whether they can stand the strain any more than Rodgers and Schaller did remains to be aeen. When the Spring weather invades the country and the sun peeps through the windows It a mighty tough on the i birdies" to have to set the alarm clock for a 6 o'clock call and pile out for 12 hours' tolL Playing baseball reminds me of just such a thing as we mention. only it is so different. Tes, when you are a member of a baseball team you sleep until noon, breeze into the cafe teria for "eats' coffee and "sinkers and then spend a "nick" for a ride to the ball orchard. Don a uniform, prac tice 10 minutes, play for ono hour and a half, shoo yourself under a shower. and then your favorite admirer meets you with an automobile for a whiz downtown. ARMY SPORTS TO BE AIDED Athletic Union to Give Fund to En courage Competition. The Amateur Athletic Union of America, which guides the destinies of amateur athletics In the United States, has gone on record as to its willingness to appropriate $5000 and any such ad ditional amount as pi ay be required to encourage Army and Navy activi ties in the various cantonments, ac cording to a letter recently sent out by Frederick W. Rubien, chairman of the championship committee, setting forth the adoption of the following resolu tion: "Resolved, That the Amateur Ath letic Union appropriate the sum of $5000 and such additional amount as MOORE CAPTURES HANDICAP Tournament Nets Red Cross Sum of $1500, Including Donations. PINEHURST, N. C, Jan. 19. Eliot D. Moore, of New York, with a net 77 today won the handicap medal score event in the wind-up of the Winter golf league of advertising interests. The league's putting contest for women was won by Mrs. Arthur S. Higgins, of New Tork, with 21. The prizes in the week's tournament, with donations by the league, provided over $1500 for the Red Cross. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 19. (Special.) The United States Army camp al American Lake will play an important part in Pacific Coast International League baseball this year. An offer to play weekly games at the! American Lake cantonment, made by the league officials, was accepted Satur day by Government authorities, subject to the approval of the War Department The decision was reached after a con ference of league directors and Cap tains Cook and Wattlett, of Campl Lewis. The agreement means that a basen ball team will be organized at the can-1 tonment, composed of service men, ani that this club will play a certain num ber of games every week with clubs which will be scheduled to appear ati the camp by the league. Arrangements! are not yet complete, but it is probable that the contests will be scheduled for Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Directors Dolna; "Bit." In scheduling the games at the camp) the league officials believe that thejn are doing their part in helping fur nish recreation for the men in Govern ment service. The chance to se International League baseball, wit regular league clubs pitted agalns thein own camp aggregation, will make! a big hit with the soldiers. Captain Cook, ahletlc director of the camp, was heartily in favor of the plan, and said that he appreciated the efforts of the league to co-operate with him in giving the men healthy amuse-i ment. Two other motions were carried be-) fore the meeting adjourned last Satur day afternoon. Bob Brown was ap pointed a committee of one to visit Butte and determine the exact situa tion of baseball there. Brown will) have the authority to act with the! Butte owners in settling the matter of placing a team in the race. Brown's appointment as delegate does not mean, that he is interested In the Montana franchise in the least, but that he Willi simply aid the present management lni getting started. Price Reduced to Soldiers. The final action of the meeting wad that which will admit men in uniformj connected with any country a mem-l ber of the allies, to all game's for the general admission price. Iu order to) encourage the service men to visit thej games, and in a email way to show their patriotism, the magnates unanl- mously voted for this reduction in the! admittance price to soldiers and sail ors. The next meeting will be held lni March, in this city, it was announced bjr President Blewett. The schedule will be drafted at that time and the player and salary limits acted upon. Judge W. W. McCredle, F. C. Farr and Russ Hall left for home immediately after the session closed, while Bob Brown will return to Vancouver Sun day. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Of! PORTLAND GOLF CLUB EXPECTS TOl ADD 100 TO ROLL. Gronnds Belns; Worked Into Shape for Cemlns; Season Soldiers Invited to Use Coarse. 'AGGIES' " WRESTLING IN STRUCTOR IS HAVING SUC CESSFUL SEASON. U - - l 1 1 ! ' 1 i. v , f jr t " ' x i IT. C. McDonald. The success which wrestling, box ing and other gymnasium sports are attaining at Oregon Agricul tural College is due mainly to the untiring efforts of Instructor H. C. McDonald, who joined the Cor vallis institution a few months ago. McDonald formerly was connected with T. M. C. A. work at Albany and later at Vancou ver Barracks. The Portland Golf Club Is making lt final drive after new members before the new course is opened, and has set the figure at 100. James T. Beckett, who is chairman of this committee, haa compiled a list whom the members of his committee are to call upon, and with the assistance of the club mem bers he believes that they will reach the goal set. The fairgreens on the new nine hava been helped along very much by the) warm rains this winter, which has re moved all doubt in the minds of the greens committee about being able to open this Spring or not as planned. Fairways which were planted only two months ago have a thick growth of' grass on, and later this Spring clover will be sown with the grass, which should insure a very fair turf for the first year's play. Between the 13th. 14th and 15th fairways a great deal of! clearing has been done which will widen the fairways more than they were expected to be when the course, was first laid out. The greens commit tee Is spending a great deal of time on the Improvement of the fairgreens and believes that when these are finished they will rank equally well with clubs that have been In existence for years. The road to the clubhouse has been repaired to some extent and as soon aa It is possible to obtain more rock the county will complete this work, which, will make a good road direct to the club. Dr. Northup, chairman of the handi cap committee, is preparing his list of tournaments for the coming year andj expects to have many novel tourna ments arranged. The following rule has been put Into effect by the greens committee and is to be enforced. Nothing over four somes are allowed to play on Satur days, Sundays or holidays, and mem bers found doing so are liable to be suspended from the club for a period of 90 days. The clergy of the city are al lowed to become members of the club for one-half of the regular initiation fee and dues. An invitation has been extended to soldiers stationed within the vicinity of Portland to the use of the links and they can have a card to the club by calling at the secretary's office. Dr Watts, chairman of the house committee wishes to announce that any member of the club wishing to enter tain at the club can do so by making: reservation either with the steward or himself.
