V J Gsidlslby Corner Second , and Morrison Streets FATE OF PORTLAND TEAM IN BALANCE Next 8 Days to Decide Quality - of Beavers. MANY FACTORS ARE SEEN Will .Marty Krug Report and Will Owner avin of Detroit Send Tromised Men Are Questions. BY L. H. GREGORY. ' SAXT.V IIARI., Cal., March 2 (Special.) Eight more days and the Pacific coast league baseball season will be under way. On the events of those intervening eight days depends whether Portland enters the pennant race with some little chance for suc cess or with no chance at all. First, will Marty Krug report to play second base? The temperamental infielder has no reason- for his con tinued failure to report except plumb cantankerousness, for Judge Mc Credie accepted his salary demands in full nearly two weeks ago. Krug was expected to report at once after that but hasn't showed up yet. He has given out that the out law league promised him a ranch to play ball with it. but Judge and Walt can hardly be expected to sweeten the ante by offer of a Willamette valley farm to swing him to Portland. Release Now la Aaked. One thing Mr. Krug may depend on: If he doesn't report he will find him self high and dry tor good so far as organized baseball is concerned. He can report or not as he pleases, but if he doesn't report his name will im mediately be clapped onto the ineligi ble list and there will be no more league ball playing for him for five long years. If Krug sits up nights to figure new plays, as. he (toes to work out new. angles of his holdout case, he must be one whale of a second base man. His latest little pleasantry is to write to Secretary Farrell, the big man of the minor leagues, to demand his unconditional release from Port land on some alleged technicality. This is evidently a stall on his part, for nothing has happened that would entitle him, under baseball law, to his release. Second, will owner Navin of Detroit 1 keep h's word, or part of his word, and send Portland even one of those four players he owes In return for Suds Sutherland and Art Koehler? Faithtnl Promise Made. Mr. Navin faithfully promised Port land three players for Suds Suther land, all of whom must make rood in the coast league, and In his fatherly way said ' further that he would "look out" for Portland. An additional player is due in re turn for the release of Koehler to Oakland. But to date Navin has been long on promises and short on ful fillment. Looks now as if he were getting the same old lemon ready to slip to Portland. He now has it in his power to make or break Port land's hopes, for Walt is absolutely dependent on him for aid. Of the three men coming to the Beavers from Chicago this week, one is a third baseman and two are pitchers. Provided Krug reports and this .new third baseman, is the .right stuff, that leaves Walt stijl greatly in need of a fast fielding and hard hitting shortstop, for though Hazen Paton eventually will make a wonder ful player the kid still is too inex perienced to be expected to hold down a regular position in his first year of professional baseball. He actual ly has never played a professional" baseball game, or even in a regular semi-professional league in his life. - $5000 Ready for Shortstop. VI would give $3000 in cold cash for the right kind of a shortstop," said Walt yesterday. "That's how much I need a man, and how strong 1 would go to get one who would do the team good. B'ut you simply can't buy ball players nowadays and there are no good ones on the market." And yet owner Navin of Detroit is in honor bound to send a shortstop or third sacker but whether he does is quite another thing The Indications are that he will not. The man Walt wants is Sargent, who played third base last season with Buffalo, but there seems little chance just now of his being sent here. If he goes any where Navin probably will send him to some other team, perhaps San Francisco, Oakland or Los Angeles, for he has dealings with all these coast league clubs and every one of them U faring better at his hands than Portland. Klnsdon May Have to Start. With Kingdon on deck and his new third sacker from the Cubs here, Walt then wtould be ready to stand pat for the opening of the season with just one more good man a shortstop. Un less he gets such a man he will have to start with Kingdon on short. King don has improved somewhat from last season, but is still woefully weak in his hitting. Another good outfielder might help some, though, Walt looks with favor on his present staff of gardeners. But here again enters the big if. In this case his outfield looks good if Ike Wolfer can be bought or traded from Joplin. Walt has made Joplin a fine fat offer for Ike but hasn't heard a word about It yet. Wolfer's Purchase Waited. That is the "thirdly" of the case and if Wolfer's purchase can be closed this week, then the Beaver outfield will look fair. If it isn't closed, we'd hate to predict what the outfield would be like, unless the Cubs should come to the rescue with an outfielder, Jjetroit should do the totally un expected and send a real fly chaser westl With Wolfer out there, playing left field, Dick Cox would cover center and Art Bourg. the Tacoma gardener who finished with Portland, last sea son, right field. Bourg is a natural hitter. His fielding could be im proved, but the young fellow is going earnestly about it to better that by constant practice. As utility infielder, Walt plans to carry Walter Genin, the Spokane youngster. Genin is a personified speed, burst, one of the fastest kids who ever chased a fly. but hasn't hit much so far. With Krug on the job, the infield then would consist of Jimmy Poole, first base, who is a real ballplayer and a hitter; Krug, second, one of the smartest keystone sackers in the coasCleague last sea son; Kingdon, short, pending arrival of a heavier hitter for that niche, and the man from the Cubs at third. The catching staff i O. K. Hard to improve on that. Del Baker, re covered from his appendicitis troubles of last season, is wonderfully im proved, Gus Fisher looks like a youth despite his 34 years, with a throwing arm getting stronger every day and his batting eye undimmed. and Rip King, the herculean Univer sity of West Virginia youth, looks destined to become one of the greatest catchers In baseball after half a sea son's experience. , The pitchers, too, look good with Herman Pillette, Rudy Kallio. Harold Poison, Sam Ross and Sylvester John son as certain regulars, and another right hander and a left hander com ing from the Cubs. This is how the Beavers' probably will line up for the opening game against the San Francsco Seals Tues day week: Bourg. right field: Kruy, second base; Wolfer, left field: Cox. centen field: Poole, first base: New, third baseman; Kingdon, short, and Pillette or Sylvester Johnson pitcher. SEA.LS BEAT STANFORD, 7-2 With Old Conch Pitching, Col- legians Dig Right In. MONTEREY, Cal., March 26. (Spe cial.) With Johnny Couch, their old coach, pitching - for the Seals, the Stanford boys did not feel so strange today, so they hopped in and played a snappy game of ball. They were beaten, 7 to 2, but they put up a stout resistance all the way. Draper pitched good ball for Stanford and two of . the runs scored on him were the result of a muff by Carver, who dropped an easy chance in right. - The only time Stanford could bunch hits on Couch was in the fifth, when Patterson and Draper connected and Mitchell stepped in with a two-bagger. Johnny is Just about on edge and he asked to be allowed to work the, full nine innings today. The workout did him good and he will be ready to tackle the Cubs at San Francisco about Wednesday. RAIXIERS HAVE 2 WORKOUTS Gardner or Geary to Battle Angels In Los Angeles Opening. POMOVA, Cal.. March 26. (Spe cial.) Harry Gardner or "Fat" Geary will battle the Angels at Washington park at Los Angeles opening day. This announcement was made by Manager Kenworthy of the Seattle outfit tonight. He also announkd that Catcher Tobin, with Portland a while last year, and Outfielder Paul Strand will be .turned over to the Calgary West ern Canada league team. Two more hard workouts were en dured by the Rainiers today. Ken worthy has a team of veterans and is confident that it is going to be a sensation. The veteran catchers. Jack Adams and Tub Spencer.' are ready for the gong and will be of great assistance to a fine string of slabmen, who are eagerly await ing the start.

Pete Compton made a four-ply clout with the bases popu lated today and the Senators defeated the Sacramento Elks club, 11 to 7. Ross and Neihaus pitched for the winners. Compton's hit was one of the toughest seen here in years. Mc Gaffigan was not in the lineup. The teams will meet again tomor row afternoon.

( h BALL PLOT IS LAID TO MAKER St. Louis Business Man In dieted for Fraud.1 EXTRADITION IS PLAN Illinois Prosecutor Declares Ring Accused of Throwing World Se ries Will Be Prosecuted. CHICAGO, . March 26. Carl ZorK, shirtwaist manufacturer, and Benja min Franklin, both of St. Louis, were today charged by officials of the state's attorney's office, with being the organizers of the alleged plot through "which Chicago White Sox players were said to have thrown the 1919 world series to Cincinnati. Announcement that these two men would be formally accused was made by the state's attorney's office after indictments against 18 men. including Zork and Franklin, had been rcturntd by the Cook county grand jury, which, today finished the second investiga tion into the baseball scandal. Other Llnkrd With Fraud. Joseph J. Sullivan, known In the case as a gambler; Louis and Bin Levi, formerly of Dps Moines, la., and Abe Attell were linked with the Zork and Franklin cases by the state's attorney in announcing the results of the jury investigation. Sullivan, officials said the evidence showed, handled operations in the east, the Levi brothers directed the alleged conspiracy in the central west, with Dos Moines as headquarters, and Attell acted as traveling agent. Charges Cauae Sensation. The charges created a sensation in baseball cricles. for although Zork. Franklin and the Levi brothers were mentioned by witnesses before the first grand jury which conducted its Investigations last fall, they were not indicted at that time. Sullivan and Attell were indicted then, however. Zork, Franklin, the Levi brothers and David Zelscr were indicted today. In addition the 13 men indicted last fall were reindicted. These men were Claude Williams. Eddie Cicotte, Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, Swede I;is berg, Oscar Felsch, Fred Mc.VIullIn, Chick Gandill. Hal Chase, Joseph .1. Sullivan, Rachel Brown, Abe Attell and Bill Burns. Kaeh Named Right Times. Each man was named tight times in the indictments and each indict ment specified three counts against them, conspiracy to defraud, con spiracy to do an Illegal act and ob taining money under false pretenses. Bail was fixed at J3000 for each count, making $24,000 for each man. Under the law this can be doubled, and the state announced that the men would be required to put up $48,000 bonds. The state's attorney Immediately began preparation of extradition pro ceedings against the men indicted, but it is not expected that the trial will come up before fall. Extradition la Promised. . Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, announced after the Indictments were returned that he already had started extradition proceedings against the men named and that every effort would be made to apprehend them at once. ' "There will be no Jokes about this investigation and no dropping of charges brought in these indict ments," said Mr. Crowe. "We have proceeded carefully, made sure of every legal detail and we will not miss our mark, which is penitentiary sentences for the men who are guilty." Mr. Crowe refused to say when ths men might be brought to trial, but Indicated that the trial would not start immediately. Defrauding Players Charged. It also was made known that the new indictments charge the defend ants with defrauding the White Sox players, not in the plot, out of ap proximately $2000 each, the differ ence between the winners' and losers' share in the series receipt When the proceedings against the seven players were drorved recently Mr. Crowe said that the 'first inves tigation had been bungled and conse quently it would take six months to prepare convicting evidence." It was believed that le trials would be postponed for several months in. order to give tie state time to gather new evidence.
