Walt McCredie Said to Want
Detroit Twirler.
"RUDY" HELD AGREEABLE
r
Addition to Mackmen's Pitching
StaTf Considered Necessity for
Success Next Summer.
Rudy Kallio. stellar twirler of the
Detroit Tigers, is slated to wear a
Beaver uniform next season if Man
ager Walter McCredie can make the
proper dicker with. Detroit and will
plav the ante tor the big flipper. Kal
lio is now in Portland hibernating and
will remain here until the clarion call
Is issued for spring training. Whether
It will be Manager Hughie Jennings
call he will answer or Manager Walter
McCredle's remains to develop.
Kallio has expressed a desire to re
main on the Pacific coast and play
with Portland if satisfactory salary
arrangements can be arranged. Good
pitchers are a mighty scarce article
these days, and Kallio would be as
welcome to the Mackmen staff as the
government bonus to the retiring
doughboys.
In 1918 Kallio won eight and lost
13, working in 30 games for the
Tigers, Last year Rudy was in good
form and held .up his own in the
pinches. t He is very popular with
fans here and would assure McCredie
of the nucleus of a real lineup of
pitchers.
Although "Suds" Sutherland was i
awarded to St. Joseph by the national
commission, McCredie may make a
cash dicker or trade for Harvey with
the St. Joseph club. Sutherland won
14 and lost 14 for the Beavers last
season and looked strong enough for
McCredie to hang onto if it can be
done without parting with too much
worldly goods.
The rest of the Beavers who wound
up with the club were "Defty" Schroe
der, who won 4 and lost 6; Carroll
Jones, won 9 and lost 10; Kenneth
Venner, won 15 and lost 20; Harstad,
won 6 and lost 5, and Red Oldham,
' won 21 and lost 23.
Where the pitchers fell down was in
the first of the season. They looked
miserable as a whole and "Red"
Oldham was the one redeeming fea
ture of the staff. Oldham was worked
to death, pitching three games against
Los Angeles in one week, and was
credited with wins in all of them.
Jones started off well, but his arm
went back on him and ttowards the
end of the season he was practically
valueless. His bread winner may
round into shape these off months, and
when right Jones is a regular twirler.
Schroeder is one of the best looking
prospects viewed on the local mound
in some time, and another year in the
coast league should prime him for a
whirl In the big show.
Manager Walter McCredie. it is
understood, is in line to get a couple
of inn elders and an outfielder from
Detroit when next spring rolls around.
Paddy Siglirfr- Portland second sacker
and captain, will join Detroit and try
to annex his name to Hughie Jen
nings' payroll for a season.
Another pitcher or two from the
east would not be amiss and some
developments should be forthcoming
ere long. With all of the managers
in the league either in the east or
busy scouring the country for talent,
it is not likely that the McCredie clan
will remain dormant long. Walter
a quiet worker and although h4 is not
doing much shouting as to his plans
for the 1920 campaign, It can be de
pended upon that the mails reach his
mansion out Capitol road way these
chilly days, and that many a confer
ence is in session in the seclusion of
Judge W. W. "Mack's" office.

Chess.
Pitchers at this time of the year
are in grreat demand. A survey of the
winter baseball situation ehows that
managers all over the country are
trying to corner the available supply
f hurlers, but, on the whole, meeting
with scant success. Not in years has
the shortage of first-class slabsters
been so keenly felt and the competi
tion for what few heavers are still
free so strong. Competent chuckers
are worth their weight in gold.
...
Every club in the Coast league is on
the lookout for pitching talent. There
is not a team in the league that could
not use one or two capable deceivers,
and, following out this line of thought,
thet-e is not a club in the circuit that
is not trying to land men of this
stripe. But it is plain that these
much-sought-after throwers are not
to be picked up for the mere asking,
and that in numerous cases the sight
of the long green does not 'dazzle as
of yore,
.
Baseball was such a big success the
season Just closed that the managers
are holding on to their star heavers
and will not listen to talk of trade or
purchase.
Bill Esslck, boss of the Tigers, has
Just returned from his eastern inva
sion with one pitching scalp dangling
from his belt, said scalp belonging to
"Slim" Love. "Red" Killifer is now
In communication with several major
league clubs, with pitchers as his
goal, while Clyde Wares is shortly to
make a trip to the major league cities
in the hope of enticing a s'abster or
two from their present residence.
( One of the prime moves that caused
Charley Graham to go east was the
urgent need of pitchers. In this de
partment the Seals are weak and need
much strengthening. Jim Scott and
Tom Scaton were the only chuck
ers to win more games than they
lost.
Graham secured one pitcher in T5ob
Steele, and it may be that he has deals
pending for a few more.
Good pitchers are half the battle.
Baseball history proves this.
"Give me a good pitching staff and
Til win," Connie Mack once replied to
a direct question. The canny tac
tician of the Athletics spoke a mouthful..
The announced Intention of Coast
league 0 directors to put the well
known thumbs-down sign on all so
called "freak" deliveries, including
the "spitball," has set several of our
most distinguished pitching persons
on a still hunt for 1920 jobs far from
the madding bleacher throng.
Major league magnates have signi
fied their intention of legislating the
"spitter" out of business. If they do,
the Coast league is certain to follow
suit.
Pitchers like Tom Seaton. Curley
Brown, Jim Scott. Walter Mails.
"Red" Oldham, and several more of
the league's stars, have no cause to
worry. They depend upon what is
Wnown in the game's parlance as
"natural stuff." But Casey Smith,
"Spider" Baum, Joe Finneran, Dazie
Vance. Gould, "Buzz" Arlett ana a
host of others count upon the "spit
ter" as their most vaiuaDie pitemns
aSThey may be able to pitch without
it. "Buzz" Arlett is young and should
be able to master all the tricks of
the twirling trade. But the veterans
can scarcely be expected to learn
the game all over again.
..
Coast league pitching averages
show that Curley Brown of Los An
geles was the 119 league leader in
every department. He had the second
highest average in numbers of games
won, and save for Harry Krause, who
worked in but eleven games, led all
the heavers- in percentage of runs re
sponsible for. Curley won 25 games,
lost but eight, and allowed but 2.03
per game.
The wild man of the league was
Bill Piercy of Sacramento, who was
nevertheless one of the most consist
ent winners in the league. Bill won
26 games and lost 18, allowing -i.ii
runs per game, which ranks him as
the third most effective slabman. But
Bill tied with Bigbee of Seattle lor
the giving of. bases on balls, having
issued 148 passes. And he Is in a class
by himself in hitting batsmen, hav
ing given' the "nigger baby" ball to
22, just twice as many as any other
man in the league gave.

HONOLULU. T. H., Nov. 15. (By

was 13-vear-old Ruth Scudder or the
Honolulu Outrigger Canoe club, who
won the bu-yara Dreaui-uiruRB uieu

Miss Scudder, who is tall ror ner
age and rangy in build, set a new
Hawaiian record for the distance.46:2.
The old record, held by Blanche Fer

swimming star came within :02.2 sec.

distance.
"Dad" Center of the Outrigger club
trained the girl forthe meet and he
says she obeyed his instructions to
the letter.
"Pay no attention to any of your
competitors until you come to the 40
vard line, then take "one look," was
Center's parting injunction to the
girl. For 40 . yards she ploughed
through the water without a glance
to right or left. Then she "peeked,"
saw Frances Cowelis Schroth at her
shoulder and increased the space. In
the last three yards she drew a'head

for Most Points; Mende's
m Record Is Best.
OREGON STATE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE. Corvallis, Nov. 29. (Spe
cial.) Inter-fraternity cross-country
running, which has been attracting a
great deal of interest the last five

eligible to compete and allowed to run
for points twice during each week.
The course was around what is known
as the "bi loop" and is two and a
quarter miles long. Points were given
according to the time in which the
runner was able to negotiate the dis
tance. Several men have turned 6ut to be
dark horses and the best time on the

Approximately laO men have taken
part in these runs and the training

otal of 583 points, while Kappa
Theta Rho. its nearest competitor,

awarded the winners as permanent
trophies.

made time of less than 12 minutes,
and of these, Mende of th Axtec fra
ternity, leads with a mark of 11:17.

zation.
Points will be awarded as the men
finish, the first man being given 25
points, the second 24 and so on down
to the 24 th man, who will get 2
points. All men finishing after the
24th man will be given 1 point each.

(Coley) Coleman, assistant in the de
partment of physical education, is
planning the event.
Basketball practice at O. A. C. will
begin in earnest- next week. Pre
season work during the last two
weeks has brought out a number of
old players not on the football sqyad.
Football training is over for the
year unless the post-season game with
either Notre Dame or Syracuse can
be arranged. A number of football
men are going to turn out for basket
ball. "Butts" Rearden, captain of this
year's basketball squad, will be out
for a place on the team unless his bad
knee makes it impossible.
Practice the last week, while Coach
Hargiss was at Spokane, has been
under Gurley, veteran of the cham
pionship team turned out by Hod Ray
two years ago. Gurley played center
on this quintet and will make a good
pivot man this year around which to
build up a team.
