SAN FRANCISCO FANS FAIL
TO WARM UP TO BASEBALL
,
War and Other Conditions Have Put Game on Shelf, and Prospects None
Too Bright for Coming Seasotr in Pacific Coast League.
BT HARRY B. "SMITH.
s;
Of FRANCISCO, Cal., March 9.
(Special.) Maybe baseball in the
Pacific Coast League is going; to b
the big- Summer sport that it has
showed in tha past and maybe it isn't.
It looks to a man up a tree that the
National pastime must "smoke up" con
siderably if it cuts much Ice. Training
opened this last Wednesday for all six
clubs, but there wasn't the stir that
we usually enjoy prior to the opening
of the season.
Without being; unduly pessimistic Mr.
Baseball looks a mighty sick animal to
me. Sun Francisco people are not talk
ing about the teams as they have chat
ted in days gone by, and that usually
shows which way the wind is blowing.
Ordinarily at this time of the year
there would be nothing but baseball in
the air. Today, however, there are a
lot of people who don't begin to re
alize the season is close to opening up,
and those who are well aware of the
fact don't seem to be deeply concerned.
Transfer of Club Helps.
It is not a good state of affairs. Of
course the transfer of the San Fran
cisco club has helped some. Hen Berry,
the demon manager, was never popular.
a;d particularly was this the case after
he fired Harrv Wolverton in the mid
dle of the season. Also Henry pro
ceeded to joke his way through base
ball, and while we enjoy a good laugh
now and then xve don t care for too
much humor mixed with the National
game.
That has been the trouble right here
in San Francisco, and as go the Seals.
so go tha balance of the league,. Charlie
(Iruham Is well thought of as a big; man
baseball. He is conceded to know
what he Is talking about when it comes
to picking a team and is all business.
He has good men with him and all
that may help out the situation. But
the sport has received so many hard
kicks and we are so thoroughly con
cerned with the war that It's going to
be nip and tuck.
Indeed. I rather fancy the boys are
going to be lucky to be going when the
war is over. of course if they are
able to stick it out there ought to be
some money in sight when things are
once more normal.
Fans rick Favaritea.
Speaking on genenal principles, the
fans rather favor the Salt Lake and
Ansel clubs as the contenders in the
race, completely overlooking tha Seals
and pennant winners of 1917.
They like Salt Itke because they
have always held a profound respect
for the ability of Walter McCredie to
produce a pennant winner. They also
seem to think well of Bed Killefer and
his Angel hopefuls. San Francisco
doesn't seem to fisure with a whole lot
of the boys. They argue that some
good men have been lost and that the
team has gained no support.
But all that may change. It is still
early in the race and no telling what
will happen. There's so much chance
for the Coast , League teams to
strengthen that picking a winner just
now is more or less of a joke.
And perhaps thixtgs are goins to wake
up in a baseball way. In spite of the
war, or perhaps we should say because
of It, the folks are going to need some
sort of amusement. Certainly the folks
now In the saddle are of a business turn
of mind if that is needed.
The wrestlers are not coming back
until next Tuesday night. Pat Con
nolly, of Butte, was mentioned prom
inently In the prints as wrestling Con
stantlne Roumanoff this week. But Pat
explained to Promoter Frank Schuler
that he was not sufficiently acclimated
and that he wanted to be sure of him
self before starting.
So Schuler shoved the card along a
week. It's Just as well. We're not ex
actly pining for wrestling and can get
along without shows unless the boys
feel themselves fit and ready for the
endurance test,
Connolly, if he trounces Roumanoff
as speedily as he predicts will be the
case, has been promised a go with Mar
tin Plestina, the fellow who showed
Santell up in Dreamland Rink one
night. Plestina was supposed to mee
Santell in a Chicago arena this las
week, promising to throw Adolph with
in the hour.
But Plestina's manager got on the'
Job before the card was staged and
called it all off. Said that he had
never made any such promise: that
Santell . he considers Is the greatest
defensive wrestler in the world and
he would take no such chances.
So Ad, who has the nerve to-announce
himself as "of San Francisco," had to
rest content with wrestling an un
known.
Ted Moon. Australian cross-country
Jockey, who stopped here on his way
to Sydney after a three months tour
of the Eastern part of the country
saw the Dempsey-Brennan fight in Mil
waukee. And he's full of applause for
Dempsey as the coming heavyweight
champion of the world.
I don t mind saying this wempsey is
a comer, he remaricea. tie just na-
dled around for the first three minutes
After that he got down to Dusiness. as
a matter of fact, the fight should have
been atoDDed In the second round, for.
Brennan wss beaten as early as that.'
Moon says all this talk about lie
Goortv challenging Dempsey Is the
bunco because McGoorty was in Demp-
sey's corner the night of the fight and
decldedlv friendly. Eddie, so says his
friend, has put on eight pounds since he
returned to this country and is fast
getting into trim for another fight.
There's Just one thing worrying Mc
Ooorty. He has been placed in class
Al hv the San Francisco draft board
that has his case in charge, and there's
no telling when he Is going to oe caiiea.
According to all accounts it will not
ha before July.
p.nDort has It there is a chance for
McGoorty to land a berth as boxing in
structor at one of the training camps,
and he may decide to take that up.
Speaking about Moon, there s one
story that s really funny in connection
with his American experiences. Moon
carries a calling card that says he is
the "premier cross-country Jockey of
Australia." And yet when he stoppefl
off at the Grand Canyon or the Colo
rado to see the wonders ot nature ne
met with an accident. Ted, in connec
tion with others, took the trip to the
bottom of the canyon. He was astride a
donkey and Mr. Donk, without know
ing his distinguished guest, Douncea
Moon off and then kicked him.
Fancy the Ignominy to Australia s
crack steeplechaser who nail to take
such a fall. His Australian pals are
going to chuckle when they read this
news.

Varsity Baseball Prospects Are
Bright for Championship.
UNIVERSITY OR OREGON, Eugene.
March 9. (Special.) One week of
shower dodging on the part of the
aspirants for the varsity baseball team
has seen the men in action enough to
confirm the pre-season prediction that
Oregon is to he represented on the
diamond by a nine measuring up well
with those of the "good old days" he
fore Mars got in his punch at the great
National pastime. With another ten
days of work Captain Sheehy's aggre
gatiou will be ready for the best o 'em
on the Spring vacation tour. -
Only one cloud threatens to dim the
Lemon-Yellow visions of a conference
championship the possibility of losing
Maison, veteran third-sacker. He has
applied and been accepted for the avia
tion service and has his weather eye
open for a call to the ground school at
Berkeley. His loss would wreck the
infield under the present arrangement,
but with Sheehy, whose regular berth
is in the outer gardens, always avail
able in the Keystone position should
the need arise, prospects of any perma
nent disruption are not threatening.
Outfielders of promising quality are
plentiful in Steers, Medley, Runquist
and a number of other of nearly equal
caliber.
Grebe has fitted himself into what
looks to be a steady niche at short
and there are candidates enough with
an eye out for second to insure effi
cient service in that part of the lot.
Here there is little to choose between
Morrison, Brown and Campbell. Com
fort and Lind, who divided honors at
center during the basketball season,
are staging an interesting little con
test in the first base sector. Dutton,
however, is having things very much
his own way behind the plate and there
will be plenty of room on the mound
for all of the twirlers. Berg, "Chief"
Wilson and Heywood.
Just what teams will be met on the
Spring vacation trip is still undecided,
but Dean Walker, who is handling the
managerial duties and assisting Cap
tain Sheehy with the coaching, is trying
to schedule games with Mount Angel,
Chemawa and some of the teams of the
Portland shipyard league.
Bright weather next week and a
dryer field will probably swell the
number of men turning out materially,
and batting practice, very little of
1 which has been indulged in up to this
time, will assume a definite place in
each day's practice.
That's My 1918 Powerplus, Boys!
Beauty, eh ? Train or trolley schedules don't worry me.
Tieups on the roads don't keep me from getting to the shop
or home. And Sundays! well, that's a big day for me

What appears on paper to be one of
the best fight cards offered Portland
fistic fans will be staged next Wednes
day night at the Eleventh-Street Play
house, when Marty Farrell, the speedy
New York middleweight, will swap
punches with Al Sommers, of Portland,
in the main bout of the Hustlers' Club
all-star boxing programme.
Joe Flanagan says he is staking his
reputation as a matchmaker on next
Wednesday night's show and, with the
array of talent he has lined up for tho
tight fans entertainment, it looks like
he i3 going to get away big.
Marty Farrell's sensational debut at
the last Portland smoker stamps him
as one of the foxiest and cleverest mid-
dlewelghts that ever donned mitts in
a local ring, and his bout with Som
mers ought to be a pippin. With the
exception of Mike Gibbons, Farrell is
without a doubt the niftiest specimen
of human fighting machinery we have
enjoyed squinting at for many moons.
Farrel is in wonderful condition, being
a good example of what clean living
does for the athlete.
Sommers is a wonderfully improved
boxer this year and his recent bouts
with Ortega and King make him loom
up as a hard man to beat. Whether
Farrell possesses the punch necessary
to knock Sommers out is a much-mooted
question. Farrell is admittedly a
shifty boxer, but the question in the
minds of the fans who watched him
perform against Pat Bradley is whether
he has a sleep-producing "kick." It
will be a case of a clever boxer against
a willing fighter.
The Bronson-Neff setto is attracting
as much attention as the Farrell-Som-mers
bout. Bronson has again waded
into high esteem with Portland fight
fans and is easily the most popular of
the local lightweight millers. Neff is
Seattle's premier 133-pounder and is
coming to Portland bent on returning
home after having gained a decisive
victory over the I'ortland favorite.
Bronson has been working out every
afternoon and is reported as being In
the pink of condition for his coming
battle.
Joe Gorman will defend his title of
Northwest featherweight champion
against Weldon Wing, the "pride" of
Albina. These boys ought to put up a
corking good battle from start to fin
ish unless some one of the pair sneaks
over a knockout wallop.
Soldier Roselle, the star of the recent
military boxing smoker, will meet Joe
Hoff in a preliminary bout. Harry Da-
vies, of the Columbia Club, will meet
Joe Hogan in the curtain-raiser.
STRAXGLER LEWIS IS PEEVED
Promised Mulch Said Not to Bo
Forthcoming; Promoters Evasive.
Strangler Ed Lewis is packing a
grievance. He insinuates that he i
being discriminated against, practical
ly boycotted by the wrestling promot
ers. Lewis (or rather his manager,
Biliy Sandow), declares that he was
promised a match with the winner of
the Zbyszko-Stecher match recently
staged at Madison-Square Gardens.
Now, he says, the promoters are evasive,
hiding behind the fact that the bout
referred to was declared a draw.
There are two sides to everything
and now Jack Curley, the New York
promoter, comes out and says that
Sandow has not even been near his
office looking for a match with th
winner of the recent bout between
Zhvszko and Stecher.
