SPEAS TO MANAGE
IN P. C. 11
TACOMA
Russ Hall Names Former
Portland Outfielder Pilot
for 1918 Tigers.
PLAYER POPULAR IN WEST
Is
Kz-Beavcr Played Number of Years
on Coast and Had Good Record
With Muskegon Club Last Year.
Will Report to Tacoma Soon.
f ACOMA, Wash.. March 9. (Spe
cial.) Outfielder Billy Speas. once of
Portland, will manage the Tacoma base
ball club this season. That announce
ment was made by Russ Hall, owner of
the team, today and Speas is expected
to report soon.
Hall closed with Speas after weeks
of dickering witli several former cen
tral league players. The final choice
Jay between James Hamilton, third
baseman and manager last year of the
.Muskegon Michigan club in the Cen
tral Leayue, and Speas of the same
team. But Hamilton wanted too many
concessions, fo Hall decided on the
former I'ortlander.
Speas has spent the greater part of
the 12 years be has been in the game
here on the Pacific Coast. He is Just
over the draft age, having Just turned
32. Kor years he played with Port
land in the Coast League and batted
around .300 in that circuit. Later he
went with the San Francisco Seals.
His batting average with Muskegon
last year was .296. "lle is now' in
Toledo. O. Hall urged Speas in his
letter to pick up live ball players back
East and send them out. Most of Hall's
crew are rookies so far, but he believes
he will get Stevens, catcher, back from
S n r rancisco.
YANKEES TO HAVE CAPTAIN
Roger Pecklnpaugh Named to Head
, New York Tram This Season.
Miller Hugins, the new manager of
the New ork Yankees, is a believer in
the old order and has, therefore, re
stored the position of captain to his
team, naming Koger Pecklnpaugh, for
mef Portland shortstop, who was
leader of the team until Bill Donovan
assumed control. Of just how much
value a captain is to a baseball team,
which makes every move under the
direction of a manager who is sitting
on the bench or prancing up and down
on the coaching lines. It is hard to
ray. but Huggins apparently thinks
that it is well to have an intermediary
between himself and his players, and
"Peck" is the man.
Announcement of Peckinpaugh's ap
pointment came with the news that he
had signed his contract for 1918, re
ducing by one the number of Yank
holdouts. He will report fon active
service at Macon with the main body
of the team on March 15.
SOMMKRS TO MEET FARMER
Portlander Is Matched to Go Six
Rounds 'With Kapowsin Logger.
TACOMA, Wash., March 9. (Spe
cial.) Al Sommers, Portland middle
weight, and Frank Farmer, Kapowsin
logger, were matched today to box six
rounds before the Kagles, in Tacoma,
on the night of March 21. They will
form the main event of the long card.
Matchmaker George Shanklin an
nounced that the winner of the Farm
er-Sommers go will have a chance to
meet Mick King at the next Kagles
show. Then the scrap will be for the
Northwest championship.
Sommers has made a good showing
since coming to the Sound and his per
formance has been liked by the fans.
Farmer also is a favorite, as he ap
peared here so many times. He is in
the finest condition, for when he is
not passing swift punches in the ring
he is out in Kapowsin helping the
United States win the war by juggling
spruce. Both men will start actual
training at once.
arrange one game a week, to be played
on Saturday, when all students will be
free from war training classes. The
majority of Princeton's games will be
with universities and colleses in the
near vicinity of Princeton, such as
Rutgers, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Man
hattan and other institutions about
New York or Philadelphia. . The pos
sibility of the team making its usual
Southern trip seems remote.

The ' announcement that Yale and

-3-to--0 Score Lebanon Losefi a
Hard-Fought Contest, 21 to 10.
ALBANY, Or.. March 9. (Special.)
Albany won two basketball games Uist
night in a double-header contest which
marked the close of the basketball sea
son in this city. The Albany High
School faculty defeated the Salem High
School faculty, 23 to 20, and the Albany
High School defeated Lebanon High
School. 21 to 20. Both games were
splendid exhibitions and were close all
the way, the score in each of the two
games standing 11 to 11 at the end of
the first half.
The two faculty teams were com
posed of old-time stars and while some
of the players got a trifle "winded,"
they put up a good game. This game
see-sawed all the way, neither team
having much margin at any time. The
Salem line-up was Murdock and Ed
wards, forwards; Robinson, center;
Heater and Lake, guards, with Putman
replacing Heater toward the end of the
game. The Albany faculty players
were Byers and Fox, forwards; Finner
ty, center, and Mintou and Moses,
guards.
In the high school game Albany got a
big lead at the start of the hard-fought
contest and Lebanon, with a spurt, tied
it up Just before the half ended. Ixib-
anon then tooK me leaa at me start oi
the second half and the winning basket
was tossed by Albany in the last min
ute of play. The Albany players were
Irvine and Fortmiller. forwards; Hen

sard, guards. Reeves replaced Fort
miller in the second half. The Lebanon
team consisted of Bottenburg and An
drews, forwards; Lysinger. center, and
Scott and Tucker, guards. Summers
started at forward for Lebanon, but
was hurt in the first few minutes of
the game and Andrews replaced him.

Player's Exemption Plea Falls on
Deaf Ears and He's In Class 1.
Chairman Lawrence A. Spang lcr, in
charge of the arranging of the North
west Military and Open Track and
Field championships to be held in this
city, announces a switch in the date
of the big indoor meet to Friday even
ing, April 2G.
It was orHrinally planned to stage
the indoor championships on a Satur
day night, tut past experience in
handling events of this nature on the
last night of the week moved the com
mittee to switch to Friday night.
While the committee has not yet
closed with the -management of he Ice
Palace for the rent of the big buildintr.
Chairman Spangler expects to be able
to make some definite announcement
regarding the site of the big meet dur
ing the coming week.
It has been decided to stase the
events on a board floor instead of cov
ering the entire surface with dirt. The
expenses attached to the latter proposi
tion would prove too costly and as the
championships are being staged for
the expressed purpose of raising money
for the various military athletic funds
the committee deemed it advisable not
to incur too much expense.
Jumpers to Be on Mntx.
The broad jump and high jump
events will be held on mats. It has
been decided to cut out the pole vault,
discus and javelin events.
The military athletes will be kept
busy during, the evening because the
committee lias about decided to add a
few more Army events to include ob
stacle races and carrying wounded sol
diers. This, with the grenade and
bomb-throwing, will keep the soldier
athletes in the limelight uuring the
progress of the evening's entertain
ment. Lieutenant Sheehy, of the Signal
Corps cantonment, has been active with
Chairman Spangler in arranging the
many details connected with the big
meet and on account of his past
experience in New York track and field
meets his assistance has been greatly
appreciated by the committee.
Committee to .fleet.
A meeting will be held by the com
mittee during the coming week at the
Multnomah Club. Chairman Spangler
will announce the appointment of the
various committees. It is planned to
hold a big drive and dispose of tickets
in a manner somewhat similar to the
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and Knights of
Columbus affairs.
Dr. A. D. Browne, physical director
at Oregon Agricultural College, was a
Portland visitor yesterday and ex
pressed himself as being a big booster
for the coming meet.
Dr. Browne is one of the biggest men
in athle'tics in the West. He wields a
world of power iii National Intercolle
giate Athletic Association affairs and
he yesterday offered his services to
Chairman Spangler to act in any ca
pacity Spangler saw fit to place him.
Many letters have been received by
Chairman Spangler from various col
leges and high schools throughout the
state inquiring as to the list of events
to be staged. The entire programme of .
events will be announced later.
IDAHO STAR AWARDED LETTEK
Wi'.Iiain A. Iiockcl Given "l" He
Missed by Minute and Half.
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
March 9. (Special.) Lieutenant Will
iam A. Boekel, U. S. R., of the 147th
Field Artillery, now stationed at Camp
Lewis, a member of the University of
Idaho graduating class of 1917, has
been awarded a football "I" by the
university athletic board. Lieutenant
Boekel missed obtaining his letter by
a minute and a half in the 1916 season.
The board also voted letters in bas
ketball to Leslie Moe, of Kellogg:
Eugene Hyde, of Boise; Drom Camp
bell, of Moscow; Elra Hunter, of Mos
cow; Paul Evans, of American Falls,
and Ernest K. Llndley, son of Ernest
H. Lindley, university president.
Hyde and Evans were elected lo
board positions made vacant by recent
enlistments.
HERE'S one for the book. H. E.
Weaver, one of Fred Mitchell's
rookie pitchers on the Chicago Cubs'
roster, has filed a unique claim for de
ferred exemption from military service,
but the board at Warren, Pa., his home
town, placed him at the hed of the bat
ting order by indorsing him for class 1.
The exemption plea was: "We have
a good chance to win the World's se
ries." He should have sprung the dandruff
gag or chopped off one of his digits.
TENNIS TOURNEY PROPOSED
Pacific Coast Conference May Stase
Big Meet in Portland.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 9. (Spe
cial.) Coach Claude J. Hunt has writ
ten all colleges in the Pacific Coast
conference in an attempt to stage a
conference tennis tournament in Port
land this Spring. The meet would in
clude Washington State College, Uni
versity of Oregon, Oregon Agricultural
College, University of California, Uni
versity of Washington and probably
Stanford.
Coach Hunt believes that this would
be the greatest intercollegiate tennis
tournament ever held, since most
matches are merely between two
schools. All of these colleges expect
to develop varsity tennis teams In both
singles and doubles, so he believes
there is no reason why any should not
agree to this plan.
CAL EWING TO ISSUE STOCK
Oakland Baseball Owner Hopes to
Popularize Club With Funs.
Cal Ewing and his conferees of the
Oakland baseball club want to pop
ularize the team in their home city. To
that end they have secured a permit
from State Corporation Commissioner
Carnahan to sell 25,000 shares of the
capital stock at $2 per share. This is
one-third of the capital stock of the
club, and the sale price is twice the
par value, which Is $1 per share. The
proceeds are to reduce the indebtedness
and to get ready for the coming sea
son. According to Ewing, he is anxious
to follow the scheme in Salt Lake,
where as many of the fans as possible
were made owners of the club. Hen
Berry tried the same proposition last
ear, but it would not work.
I
