McCredie will stop over In San Fran cisco a few days and then continue south to Los Angeles, where he has some, baseball business to transact. About March 1 he will take up his duties at Portervllle and await the arrival of the Salt Lake players, who are to report there about March 4, Before taking hie departure for the South McCredie said he expected to torn over enough players to his uncle to give him the nucleus for a dandy team. The Portland team will only neea it players this season, that num ber being the league limit. The Port land magnate ought to be able to land five or six players, together with a healthy wad of kale, for the two former Heaver stars. The Portland magnate has about 10 California recruits who -will try and pass muster before Walter in the Port ervllle training camp of the Bees. The former Beaver chieftain eaid yesterday ne wouia De satisfied if he could land two promising youngsters out of the aggregation that will report to him. ii juukb ..uccreaie can hook two or three youngsters of minor league abiL Ity he will consider himself lucky. w m m Bob Brown, of Vancouver, says he is going to play baseball at 6:30 o'clock each evening and will play to Sunday crowds every night. The days are long in the Canadian city and twilight ball has always been a feature, but Brown ntends to work the proposition to a fare-thee-well this season. Brown says Vancouver Is in a thriv ing condition. The shipyards are work ing with capacity crews and there is plenty of money in circulation. Most of the wage-earners quit at 4 o'clock In the afternoon. With the games starting at 6:30 It will give the fans and business men a chance to get home for the "eats" and then beat it to the game. Judge McCredie yesterday received a letter from Harry W. Stahlhefer, of the Evansville club of the Central League, inclosing a list of ballplayers he wanted to "wish" on the Portland magnate. After giving the list the "once-over," Judge McCredie decided that the players mentioned could find no roosting place in Portland. Signs of Spring are here. Testerday Ed Krentlehr, groundkeeper at the Vaughn-street lot, visited Judge Mc Credie's office and said that the grand stand and bleachers were still in posi tion and that the diamond, outside of being a bit muddy, was In great shape. Judge McCredie yesterday sent out Portland "contracts." One three-cent stamp was enough to provide trans portation for the lone document which was sent to "Leftv" James at Pendle ton. Clif.

FANS REJOICE OVER PORTLAND VICTORY Wonderful Showing of Rose buds Against Seattle Cause of Much Discussion. PLAYERS SHOW FINE FORM "COLONEL LORE" OPENS UP, TOO, ON MESSRS. BLEWETT, DUGDALE Little Drama by Seattle Sports Writer Is Entitled "Driving the Public Away From the Ball Parks" Now Butte Deal Is Explained. Barbour and Tobln Bright Stars of Contest Fowler's Attack on Um pire Pierce Is Denounced by All as Cowardly Act. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Portland Ice hockey enthusiasts are still busily engaged discussing the won derful showing made by the Portland Rosebuds in their game Friday night, when they tamed the Seattle "Mets" in one of the fastest and most eventful games of the season. The wonderful aggressiveness dis played by each member of the septet. as well as the teamwork of the Rose buds, tends to make the fans sit up and take notice. At last. Manager Muldoon has arranged his line-up in such a manner as to secure the very best re sults. Tortland fans were surprised at the wonderful exhibition put up by Al Bar bour against the league leaders. Bar bour's speed, together with his effect ive checking and ability to be in on every play, easily made him one of the bright stars of the Portland vic tory. Muldoon has a world of confidence in Barbour and, with a little more experi ence. Al is going to make a humdinger with the stick. He seems to have fit ted into the rover position like a stamp on a letter. The chances are the line up which played against Seattle last Friday night will remain intact the balance of the season. Tohin Is Star. Charlie Tobin played one of his best games against Lester Patrick's charg ers last Friday night. When it came to fast skating and dodging through the opposition and checking the advance of the "Mets," Tobin was the "candy." Every once in a while Tobln would start after a "Met" player and it wouldn't be long before Charles would overhaul him. check, and with a swish of the stick in a manner entirely To- bin's own, he would annex the ouc-k and start down toward the opposition's goal. The fans were unanimous in their praise of Tobin's work. The fans are still "harping" on the cowardly act of Fowler, Seattle's goal- Keeper, who took a couple of hard punches at Umpire Pierce's jaw after he had bounced his hockey stick off Pierce's head twice without any provo cation. True, Pierce was hasty in raising his hand, indicating Portland had scored goal; but, upon seeing the puck off to one side of the net after having struck one of the iron stanchions. Pierce was quick to realize his mistake aind soon dropped his hand to his side. 3ATTLE baseball fans are up in the air over the bungling manner In which the Pacific Coast Interna tional League seems to be dishing out baseball news. Clifford Harrison, sport ing editor of the Seattle Times, under the non-de-plume of "Colonel Lore, gives President Blewett and Dave Dugdale, owner of the Seattle team, one of those gentle nttie -pannings which seem to be quite the style around the circuit. Read what the "Colonel" has to say: Today's Installment is going- to be a littla drama In u many acts as is necessary to tell the story entitled "Driving tho Public Ami From the Ball Parks." Colonel Lore was peeved this morning when he came tn. "1 Just overheard a conversation on the streetcar that woke me up to what these merry mairnates of ours are doing, he said. "You know I love baseball as no other game and I do so want to see It nourish. First off in thle drama of ours we will name the characters. They are Bob Blewett. Dugdale. sundry baseball reporters and last, but not least, the long-suffering baseball loving public. First Act. (Time. last Saturday: place. Seattle: char acters on either end of telephone wires.) Baseball reporter Mr. Blewltt, what Is new today T Mr. Blewett Nothing at all. nothing at all. Tve been so busy with legal matters this week that I haven't had time to think of a thing. Baseball reporter That's too bad (it -was only a few hours until bis Sunday page went to press). B. R. bangs up telephone receiver, thinks a moment and calls another number. Baseball reporter Mr. Dugdale, what do you know that's new? Dugdale I haven't signed Bill Leard yet. We have been corresponding and there Is only a matter of a few dollars between us. Yes: I think oia Bcrappy jjiii win ds oaca leading the Giants this season. Oh. yes. We had an informal meeting In Mr. Blewett's office today and voted to drop Butte from the league. Russ Hall and Bob and I were there and we got Judge Mc Credie and Farr on the telephone. We all voted to forget jutie. nun inose people feeling the way they ao towards Daseball there is no use wasting money sending Bob Brown up there. So we Just voted them out of the league and told Brown to stay at home. We are going aneaa wun live ciuos Seattle. Portland. bpoKane. lacoma ant Vancouver and the Camp Lewis club. That will make us a fine compact league. Baseball reporter inana you. Dug. (Turns to machine and starts grinding.) Second Act. Allow for passing of time, appearance of the Sunday Times on the streets, bearing the announcement, arousing ol ire ol rival newsDaper men who failed to secure facta. and coming of blue Monday.) (Note This Is as we Imagine it.) Second baseball reporter Mr. Blewett. why didn't you give me that announcement about .Butte Doing arjppea una tuo league ; Mr. 'Blewett I didn't give It out. I'm trying to keep both Butte and Great Falls In the league. You know Tve always insisted they should be in the league. They are good Daseoall towns, both of them. Second baseball reporter All right, Mr. Blewett. Thank you. (Turns to machine and also starts grinding. Writes denial that Butte has been dropped from the league.) Third Act. (Allow for passing of more time, appear ance of another paper bearing said denial, arousing Ire of first baseball reporter who sees bis perfectly good announcement denied by the league executive.) First baseball reporter Mr. Blewett, what's the idea of your denying that an nouncement- about Butte being dropped trom the league? Mr. . Blewett I didn't deny it. I didn't know Dug was going to give It out and you know I'm trying hard to keep those Mon tana cities In the league. I've written to some personal friends of mine over there to see what we can do. If I can, I'm going to put new people in charge over there and keep both Butte and Great Falls playing ball. They are great natural ball towns. Fourth Act. (Allow for tle flight of fancy caused by the baseball writer's dream of what might have been.) Baseball magnates (after considerable con fab together, back stage and long distant telephoning) That will make a good yarn for the boys to use In their Sunday papers. won't it? Call them In. (Enter baseball reporters.) Magnates Boys, we will have to drop Butte from the league. Bob here Is dead set on keeping those Montana cities in, md If he is able to get some definite proposal from over there we will be glad to consider those cities again. But as things stand now we don't feel like throwing good money after bad. sending Bob Brown over there. So we have voted to consider Butte out of the league and told Bob Brown to stay at home. Firth Act. (Now come back to earth, face the real situation and listen to the fifth act.) Man on streetcar (Reads camouflaged denials of Butte being dropped from the league) Oh, how I would like to read some real baseball news! (Other men on streetcar look up to se who this real American is. Their smiles quickly change to sadness as it dawns upon them that on this lovely bprlngllke morn ing they would like to do the same thing.) Man on streetcar continues I'd give half my week s wages Just to see in place of all this petty bickering an announcement that Seattle had signed another Bill James. If they'd just print one yarn telling where the Giants were going to train and what the schedule is they could leave all the rest of the paper blank and I'd read It just the same. If they'd just print who was going to catch, who was to make up the pitching staff, what Infielders we were going to watch and who the slugging outfielders were go ing to be, I'd willingly pay 25 cents a day for that paper. But. instead of that. Just look what I've got to read. Oh, boys, why can't we have real baseball? Chorus of other men on car Yea, verily, why caa't we? ( Blows Are Heavy. Fowler, without any. physical provo cation, raised his stick and, with two swats on Pierce's head, raised bumps big enough to hang your hat on. Pierce started to tell Fowler he had made a mistake and that the goal would not count, and for that assertion Fowler landed two right crosses on Pierce's jaw before the players and referee could Intervene. Pierce wore spectacles at the time. Fowler showed what he was made of when he pulled his stunt and, had it not been for police interference, he would have been roughly handled. Pierce said after the game that he learned a good lesson and from now on he was going to live up to the old adage, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead." Taylor, of Vancouver, still leads the players in number of points scored with 20 goals and S assists for a total f 25 points. The demon Vancouver center is playing a wonderful gams and is mainly responsible for the ma jority of games Vancouver Is credited , with In the "win" column. In all the games Taylor has participated In he has failed to draw a penalty for in fraction of the rules. Morris In Second Place. Bernie Morris occupies second place In the total-points-scored column with 14 goals and 7 assists for a total of 21 points. Morris has drawn the ire of the referee on five occasions for a total penalty of 15 minutes. "Doc" Roberts, of the "Mets," was unable to register against Portland Friday night, but even at that he still clings to third place in the point-getters' column with 16 goals and 2 assists. Roberts has suffered a like number of penalties with Morris. Charlie Tobin, who is playing the best hockey of his career, stepped ahead of Tommy Dunderdale after Fri day night's game and ranks fourth highest man among the league scores with 11 goals and 3 assists to his credit. Tobin has not drawn a penalty this season. Tommy Dunderdale is closely press ing Tobln for scoring honors among the Portland septet and to date has scored 10 goals and S assists, being one point shy of breaking even with Tobin. Dunderdale occupies the top rung In the penalty column, having been chastised 15 times for a total of 67 minutes. Eddie Oatman and Harris are tied In . the point-getting column with a total of 11 points each. Loughlin, Barbour, Tobin and John son have" failed to draw a penalty to date.
