J THE OREGON DAILY' 222 NAU, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 12. 1910. YOUVE GOJ:tO HAND IT TO JEFF; HE'S A GAME BIRD AT TO .. " t . ', 3. M'CREDIE FACES BIGGEST JOB EVER r By Robert A. Cronln. . SanUTtfaria, March 12. When Walter McCredle begln to pick hie playeri for the year he will be In one of the deepest Quandaries a manager ever labored un der. He will also be under the heaviest expense a minor league manager has ver been under for . a couple of months. But McCredle said this morn ing that he would, gladly undergo the expenditure of money if he could land a pennant winning club In Portland this year. Mac has eald time and again that he would give $20,000 If he could give the Portland fans a winning team. For at least two months he will carry three e&tchers and six Inflelders. In ad dition to the three outfielders he will be burdened with an ususual number of pitchers, there being "Garrett, Steen, Oarber, Hartman, the only southpaw so far; Ouyn, Kratzberg, Pan Ryan, Knapp and Hall. Whether Hall la of Coast league, timber remains to be seen. Twenty Ken Draw Qhecka. If he follows put the present program he will carry at least 20 men for two1) months, When the pruning will com mence. One reason why he will keep the sextette of Inflelders Is the fact that Casey and Perrlne have a tendency toward weak legs, and he doesn't want to be caught short handed If there should be a recurrence of their Injuries of last year. Then In the field there Is Buddy Ryan, who Is mil favoring an ankle turned late last fall. Any one of this. trio may be Injured at any time, and Mac wants a man to put Into his place who can flu the position. It can be readily seen that he will have a hard time picking his regulars for the season, but It Is well known that sentiment, will not stand In his way once he decides to wield the cutlery. In Santa Maria March IB, According to present plans McCredle will remain here until March 18, two days longer than he originally intended. This was made necessary, owing to the canceling of the date by Salinas with the Chicago White Sox. After the Beav ers meet the Sox here March 14, a team of the best 12 men will be sent to San Luis to play the Sox the following day, the remainder being kept In practice here. They will return to Santa Maria, and an Mafch 17 will leave for San Jose, where three games will be played. After McCredle swings around the circuit of small California towns he will 'be prepared to go Into the league sched ule ai Ban rrancisco nurcn in me best condition a Portland club has ever been In for the opening series. It Is the concensus of opinion among the ball players that Marx Hall had a lot of nerve to bring his wife out from Springfield, Mo., when he is only on trial. If he makes good. McCredle pays Springfield $30 for him," but the chances are that he will be lacking In the class that goes to make up the Coast league. Just like that other Western association boy, Joe Smith.

LANGFORD IN SUPEKBSHAPE Husky Negro Expects to Wipe Earth With Fly nn Little Betting So Far. , (United Pren Leased Wire.) Los Angeles, March 12. Sam Lang- ford, the Boston "tar baby," who will make a determined effort to obliterate the hame of Flynn on the pugilistic roster at Vernon on St. Patrick's day. Is taking a well earned rest today. The husky negro has been doing some strenuous training during the. week, and upon th advice -of -George Byers.wno has assumed charge of his work, he will "lay off" for a few days before putting the finishing touches on his condition. Langford apparently is In muoh bet rer shape than he was when he met Flynn here recently and lost a ten round newspaper decision to the Pueblo fire man. He Is several pounds lighter, but he declared that the extra poundage he carried in the former fight was the ac cumulation of several weeks Of Idleness and was a handicap even in the limited engagement when Flynn took his measure. Flynn Is making the fur fly at Doyle's camp at Vernon. He Is work ing as he never worked for a local fight. and his handlers say he will be able to travel the long route at a pace that will astound and chagrin his African op ponent Interest in the big fight Is growing ZS A ...

M'FARLAND-WELSH -MAY MEET IN LONDON (United Ires Lea led Wire.) Chicago, March 12. Packy McFarland and Freddie Welsh may get together after all, over in England, and sett'e their long-standing dispute for light weight honors. In a letter reeclved by Johnny McFarland, cousin of the stock yards lightweight, now abread, Packy says that the Mountain Ash club of Wales has offered a 110,000 purse for a battle between M6Farland and Welsh and the National Sporting club of Lon don offered a $15,000 purse. Burning criticism of Welsh by the British press, because of his methods in the McFarland transactions, evident ly have had effect. Welsh realizes that he must fight McFirland or lose much of his popularity in his home country. packy Had practically given up hopes of ever getting Welsh's signature to a set or articles and had planned to sail for home on the 15th of this month. Welsh's sudden change of heart will cause Packy to remain in Kngland until negotiations are concluded. SH! JACK JOHNSON DELIVERED A SERMON (United Prea Leased Wire.) Minneapolis Marcn 12.

Johnson chose for his topic: "The In fluence of My Christian Mother." He said In part: "Keep your mother's Image before you all the time. Remember what she taught you when you was a youngster, and there is nothing you cannot accom plish." During the course of his address, Johnson used his powerful right forci ble gestures, while his left remained passive on an open book. On the third finger of the left hand he wbre a mas slve diamond which attracted almost as much attention as the words of the speaker. Newspapermen, excepted there were no white persons present. W. H.
