McCredie's Crew Plans Stren
uous Season to Prepare
for League's Opening.
Manager McCVodl ami h! anibirloun
little batch of Beavers: will leave to
night at 1:S0 o'clock for Santa Maria,
Cal., where the Portland training camp
will be pitched for the next three weekSL
They will be Joined there by other mem
ber of the furry tribe from the east
for the preliminary training prior to
frolng on the. road for a series of near
ly a .aeore of games with teams of th
lmr,h towns, state league and Chicago
White Sox.
When the Beavera finish up their
preliminary games they will be better
fit to open the season than any other
' tatn that has represented Portland.
After several reasons of experimenting,
the big manager believes he has worked
out the proper method of preparing for
the opening of the season.
All of the men are In good health
and In ftne Bpirlts. They have kept
themselves . In prime -condition during
the winter, andi it will take only a
few days to straighten the remaining
kinka out of their musciea,
McCredie will be accompanied by Cap
tain Pearl Casey. . Buster Armbruster,
Jppsa .Oorrett, Howard Ouyn, Roger

has been a regular pitcher for Cleve

part of last year with Toledo, a Cleve

They All Fall for It.
The good old game of baseball is get'
ting attractive. Here's the latest one.
Rev. Schroder, who forgot to name his
denomination but says he Is in good
atanding in the ministry, has made ap
plication to President Blain of the Illi
nois-Missouri league, for an umpire's
berth next season. He says he is well
posted and believes he can give satis
faction.
Much riatthing of Tears.
It's a safe bet that there will be a
generous saline optical precipitation
this evening. Several 'of the McCredie
party are married and they will get
their usual quota of tears. Others are
still single, but that makes no differ
ence ao far as tears are concerned.

Los Angeles, Feb. 21. With the bet
ting even, Monte Attell and Franklo
Conley are ready for the first gong at
Vernon at 8 o'clock this afternoon when
they meet for a scheduled 16 round bout
to decide the world's championship In
the bamtamwelght division. As indi
cated by, the no odds wagering, the
fight promises to be a tough one.
Both boys are In perfuct condition ac
cording to their respective managers.
Today they weighed In at the Pacific
Athletic club, and each made the re
quired weighty 116 .pounds;
Henley had more trouble making
weight than did Attell. It was neces
sary for him to "dry out" to tip the
beam. He declared, however, that this
process had not weakened him.
Tons ravor Conlsy.
Fight fans, while not willing to give
odds, seemingly favor Conley. . They
point out that he put Danny Webster
away In-10 rounds, while the best Mon
te coujd. do was to draw with Danny
twice, and - suffer defeat once. This,
they atafe, indicates that Conley la the
better man. .., , ;
"At Vernon arena, Tom McCarey had
carpenters working all day yesterday
getting the place In shape for the
bout today, following a sudden fere
closure of a mortgage which was .se
cured by the chairs and furnishings of
the arena. Every movable thing was
taken away In tarts. The mortgage
was held by W. H Clune. McCarey
stated today that everything would be
in readiness for the fight, and no one
would be compelled to stand.
Aiteu gave out an interview to a
Loa Angeles paper In which he said he
would clean up all the rest of the ban
tams after he walloped Conley.
Here's Conley's answer to Attell:
"I whipped Danny Webster so thor
oughly in Portland that he hasn't
chirped since. I did everything but
knock Webster out; In fact I would
have dropped him In two more rounds.
Attell has fought Webster three times
ana me oest Monte ever gat was a
draw a pretty shaky draw It was, too,
ror Attell.
Bays Monte Has Talk.
"This is the felloa- that says that
I'm not a finished fighter and that he
win stop me. I'll hand it to Attell for
one thing. He's surely there with tho
river front nerve. ,
"I'll Just ask Monte and the public to
remember one thing. I whlpned Web
ster, a trick that Attell failed to turn In
forty rounds. Have I said something?"
There is such a thing as a flahter
saying too little or too much. Conley
has rested his case at exactly the riant
point. When Frankle calls attention
to his decisive victory, over Webster
he throws a shell of sarcasm into the
Attell camp and at the same time
places himself in a snug position before
ino public

BETTER SHOOTING
IS
ORDER AT GUN TRAPS
Jack Grant of the Rose City Athletic
club ia angling after tw Powell and
George Memslc for a 10 round exhibi
tion here the latter part of March or
the .irst of April. Powell and Memslo
recently met In Ios Angeles, in which
Tow Headed Lew secured a 2 tp 1 news
paper decision. It was said to have
been one of the most interesting mills
seen down there in years between a pair
of lightweights.
With Johnny Coulon and Jimmy Car
roll furnishing the fistic dessert for
March and the Powell-Memslc argument
following, the fans have two of the best
cards that can be produced in store
for them next month. .
Added to this will be the Tracey
smoker March 4, in which Jean West
and Danny O'Brien, who have each
scored a knockout, will be rematched.
West is in training all the time and
says he will demonstrate to the fans
that his punch in the second round the
other night was no fluke.
O'Brien will be in good condition for
the return mutch. If he trims West
when they meet again he will go south
to Join Roger Cornell at Santa Maria,
where the ball club trains.
. Joe Carroll is expected here in a day
or two to begin working with his
brother Jimmy Carroll in preparation
for his bout with Coulon. It might not
be a bad Idea to match Joe Carroll and
Ted Whitman In one of the second main
events.
Athlete Better Student.
From statistics compiled by Colonel
George C. Edwards of the University
of California, who for years has taken
the deepest Interest In athletics of that,
institution, the athlete Is a better stu
dent than the collegian who eschews the
track, the gridiron and the diamond.
Colonel Edwards statistics show that
of all the men who entered the univer
sity with the freshmen class for the
last 16 years only 35 per cent of those
who did not go in for athletics grad
uated, while 65 per cent of the athlet
ically inclined students won their sheep,
skins. Professor Walter E. Magee has
also prepared statistics showing that
the brawny man Is also the "brainy man.
