J Judge McCredie last night cleanedTup the week from the stand polnt of baseball news. - Judge MiCredhg thinks that the Goli smith ball is one of the best manu factured and believes H will give gen eral satisfaction In Coast league cirj ' Cle. . , -. The Portland magnate has all along been In favor of some means of Iden tifying the players, so that those who ' are not daily patrons of the pastime will know what the men they rend about look like. '' The Idea Is to sew the num ber on the left arm and allot it to the player In the scorebook throughout the eason. While Rodgers and Coltrln are the only players who have signed contracts and returned them to the Judge, he has received several letters from the new players In the east, asking about the terms of transportation, which the club provides. The players have until the : issuance of transportation to sign their contracts and they will no doubt come straggling in until March. Judge McCredie, who was prevented from getting away from Vancouver on -account of the storm, says that ha will be over Tuesday to supervise the con struction work on the new grandstand, under course of erection at Twenty- ' fourth and Vaughn streets. " Another bit of news yesterday was the recelvmg of bis contract as an um pire in the Coast league by Pearl Casey. It- Adopt Ball and Adjourn. Los Angeles, Jan. 13.

FOOTBALL TEAMS : PLAY TIE CONTEST Championship Still Undecided - in One Section of A. & W. League. r In a hard fought game for the cham pionship of Section 1 of the Archer Wiggins league yesterday afternoon on Multnomah field the Mohawk and F. E, Watkins teams played a scoreless tie. . The field was In poor condition and footing was unsafe throughout the game. The rain that fell throughout the flrBt half soaked the ball and caused a great many fumbles. The playing of L. Crowe and Shoeiler on the ends -for the Mohawks was the feature of the game. These two play ,rs were In the scrimmage from start to finish. T. Jones. Rollle Jones and Derbyshire all did fine work for the ' F. E. W. Maglus and Hurley did the beat playing for the Mohawks in the backfleld. i The wet condition of the ball made - passing uncertain, and several times both sides lost the ball on fumbles. The Mohawk team came the nearest to scoring In the fourth quarter, but after three stternpts through the line - they failed, and Rollle Jones punted to safety. Both sides tried a place kick, but failed. The Mohawk foam worked the forward pass several times for-' large gains, and It looked as if they would carry the ball down the field for a touchdown, when a fumble caused them to lose the bail. The forward pass was worked successfully by the Watkins eleven two times. Barring fumbles the two teams were : abdut evenly matched, and the game was one of the cleanest played in the league this season. 4 Clayton Tatterson umpired a splondld 'game. yesterday's lie game means that an other game will have to be played be fore the final championship game of the . city an be pulled off. 1 The game for' tho championship of Section 1 will be played next Sunday on the Columbus club field.

George Moriarity, of the Detroit Tigers wrote "Remember Me to My Old Gal." and "Big Chief Bender, Eddie Plank and "Cy" Morgan, of the world's champion athletics, made a hit singing the ditty in vaudeville, until recently. The reason the three stars today are just ordinary cltlsens waiting for the opening of the baseball season Is told by Pitcher Harry Krause. "The boys were scoring heavily with Morlarlty's aong when their man ager decamped with $1500 of their earnings and police assistance failed to disclose his whereabouts," said Krause. "Morgan suggested that the three continue warbling under their own management. 'Nix,' replied Ben der; 'any time a paleface can trim me out of $500 In any game It's time for me to quit.' And he did." FRED BEELL PLANS TRIP TO PORMD Famous Middleweight Grap pler May Wrestle John Berg in This City. Fred Beell, the greatest wrestler for his inches in the wide world. Is plan ning a western tour, and the Portland fans may get a chance to see him in action. Beell Is one of the few men on the mat who Is capable of coping with Frank Gotch for any period of time, and If he had the weight of the. cham pion, would no .doubt put him down. Gotch has to be right when he faces' Beell, for the latter once took the cham pionship away from him for a brief spell. If Beell comes west he very likely will meet John Berg. There Is some talk of matching Beell and Berg in Spokane, but It Is not believed that the inland empire town would be as good a drawing place as the Rose City.. Beell is now under the management of Emll Klank, the husky Swede who has a penchant for bringing Gotch to the coast. Beell will likely wrestle Mike Yokel In Salt Lnkn and then continue to Portland. If Beell Is landed for a match with Berg, It ought to be as Interesting, If not more so, than the one between Berg and Demetral, the Greek, which ended suddenly when the Hellenic grappler lost consciousness from a freak fall. Demetral, by the way, claims that the cords In his neck still pain him, and will likely give him self a good rest. Comical During a lull in the jeneral baseball gossip at McCredie's Ivory emporium yesterday, conversation drifted to tne antics of bustiers trying out with pro fessional baseball clubs. It was the consensus of opinion that Nick Williams collected the sprlghtllest bunch or "nuts" last spring that was ever as sembled on one ball field. Some of their doing were even more ludicrous than the slapstick comedy one sees on the bur lesque stage, while on several occasions they almost reached the tragi''. There was every degree nf fanatic from the fellow who wanted his "curve" muscles Ironed out, to tha chap who insisted that there was a general frameup on vJthe part of all the other recruits to keep him off the team. One fellow nearly killed Jess Stnvall and another came near doing likewise to Pearl Casey. It was. Indeed, better'n a circus, for thot-e who arc veterans of the game. There was one. big fellow who per sisted In hanging around the training camp established on the Columbia Uni versity campus until Manager Williams was dlstracted,i WllTlams ' would tie the "can" to him. one. .afternoon,, but ha would bob up again tlte next afternoon. The fellow'a clothlrtg looked bulky every time he left Uie vjclnlty of the field, and one day he showed up. for L T AT LOCAL TRAPS Portland Gun Club Organizes New Department to Start , Shortly. The new officers of the Portland Gun club are planning the establishment of a ladles' shooting class. The ladles' class will start as soon as the Holohan trophy is won. There are several gun experts among the wives of members of the club, and It Is believed that many other ladles who are Interested In shooting, will Join the class. There la also talk of establishing a class for business men who cannot get away on Sundays. This class is espec ially for the bankers. As soon as the shoot for the Holohan trophy Is finished, another competition shoot will begin. Several prises have been put up by different ammunition companies. The Selby company has donated a gold watch and the Hunter Arm company a fine gun. The shooting for these trophies will begin about the first of February and close contests are expected. A number of new members of the club are ex pected to take part In the next tour nament. Interest In gun shooting has picked up wonderfully since the Incorporation of the club and the sale of stock has been very large already. Yale's new baseball practice cage, costing $40,000, will include a grass diamond. Incidents in Life the last time. Williams learned after warda that he had packed away enough suits to uniform a nine up the country some place. No wonder he was per sistent. Another busher chartered a delivery auto from a messenger concern in town, to carry him out to the park. Nobody ever saw him before, but that did not doter him from striking his breast, stage fashion, and announce: "Well, boys, I'm here," dodging Just in time to escape a shoe hurled In his direction by a dis gusted ."regular." This was the fellow who tried out as a pit cher, catcher, lnflelder and outfielder, and when he failed to make good, an nounced that there was a conspiracy on the part of Manager William and the rest of the players to keep him off the team. ' Another player trying out for short stop fielded a ball and aet himself for a toss to second, covered by Pearl Casey, not ten feet away. The fellow hauled back and fired with all his might, Just grazing the Moose's ear. "What da you mean, you big busher," bellowed the Mbose. J : ' "I Just threw it with one finger," ven tured BUSh. ; ' VWell, don't you ever throw one at me with your Whole hancy snapped the Irate Casey, E H CLUB S BOXERS ARE NAMED FOR FRIDAY Quartet of Mitt and Mat Men Will Try Hand at Spokane Latter Part of Week. Wrestling. Trainor, 186-pound class. Lav lscourt, heavyweight. Boxing. Sommerville, 126-pound class. Madden, 146-pound class. Multnomah's entries for the lnter club boxing and wrestling meet with Spokane, January 19, at the Inland city, have been selected. The Spokane club wired Edgar E. Frank, chairman of the Multnomah wrestling and boxing com mittee yesterday that the weights would bg all right, and the date for the meet was set for next Friday night George Trainor, one of Professor Ed die O'Connell's best wrestlers, will rep resent the club In the 136-pound divi sion. Trainor is In fine condition and expects a victory over the Inland Em pire grappler. 1 Daviscourt will represent the "Winged M" In the heavyweight wrestling class. Daviscourt formerly belonged to the Spokane club and he is expected, to de feat his opponent, who will be a much lighter man. Chris Gesek 'will more than likely wrestle for Spokane In the heavyweight class. Sommerville and Madden were chosen as the club's representatives In the 125 and 145-pound boxing classes. As soon as it was announced that these two boys would take the trip to Spokane, In structor Tracey began to get them in top top condition, as two hard bouts are expected. It will be much harder for the club boys to win the boxing bouts than the wrestling events, as 'Spokane is well fortified with mittmen. Basketball Meeting Tomorrow. The City Basketball league directors will hold a meeting tomorrow night when the schedule for the season will be fixed. The meeting will be called at S o'clock In the Y. M. C. A. Four teams have entered the league; two Multnomah squads, Y. M, C- A. Titons and tho Dental College team. of Professional Doc Ackerraan, the Colt's trainer, took keen delight In'ltlddlng" one busher, who said he was a pitcher. After prac tice one afternoon, thla husky lad re- quested an iron. When asked what he wanted it for, he said he wished to use it after the fashion of a dumbbell In get ting the kinks out of his 'curve" muscle. Ackerman went outside and got him a heavy stick of stovewood. This he In structed the busher to elevate 250 times to loosen up his muscle. The boob did It, but had to carry his arm In a sling for a week. But he also was persistent and Doc had him doing a contortion stunt for the welfare of his shoulders, stomach and wind. The busher was re quired to bend oyer until he could put his head on the floor, then put his arms back of and under his knees," grasping the back of his head. After doing this he waa required to sneese 27 times in quick succession. The fellow cave up at the end of the second sneeze and was emphatically told he was not cut out for a ball player and advised to give It up. He Immediately quit the camp and never showed up again. When the team shifted to Vaughn Park another busher applied for a trial as an outfielder and was sent to right garden, where Jesse Stovall cavorted. The busher grabbed everything out of ptovall's hands, which, naturally, made 5 PiniTY SOMETHING BIG COMING Off TUESDAY All out for the "Winged M" cheer-up dinner Tuesday night. That's the slogan around the Multnomah club these days. Sign one of the cards sent you, drop it into the postoffice to let the committee know that you'll be on the Job, Blip a dollar In your pocket and present yourself at the door of the Commercial club banquet hall promptly at 6:30 o'clock. Don't be a sluggard; get there, on time, for there will be things doing, and you might miss something. Only 360 can be served in the banquet room, and the first 350 whp sign up will be accommodated. President Holt says that It Is purely social, with no hidden business aspect. Just a Jollification of the members of the club. Remember the time, place, idea and simoleon. TURNERS' EXHIBIT Prof. Genserowski's Classes Have New Stunts for the Spectators. What promises to be the best gym nastic and callsthenic entertainment evei given In Portland will be staged by the Portland Social Turnvereln, Jan uary 29, In the Hell I g theatre. For months Professor R. Genserowakl, the physical Instructor, has been drilling his pupils In the Intricacies of some new dances and drills, which promise to make a great hit with the spectators. Those who have seen the new base ball callstnenlo drill say that it Is one of the most unique things in Its line that has been gotton -out. It is en tirely original with Professor Genserow ski, 'who worked It out of the various motions assumed In the playing of the national pastime, from the pitcher to the base runner. Something like 360 pupils of all ages, from the small children to mature men and women, will be on the stage during the evening, it being the plan to close the entertainment with an ensemble of the performers. The Portland athletes hold a high place In the gymnastic and callsthenic world, on account of their great victory at Los Angeles last sum mer, when they made pretty nearly a clean sweep Of all the prizes In every department of physical culture. Philadelphia Is to have a new boxing hall, called the Olympla.A. C, oh Broad street below Balnbrldge, which will hold 4000. WILL BE SPLENDID Baseball Training Camps Jess sore. Towing to get the next one at any cost Stovall tore after a high fly. When It was about to fall into his hands he made a Jump for It. In the mean time, the busher, not noticing Stovall, tore after the ball. Just as Stovall was about to take it, the busher crashed into him and he got the pill on the side of the head. When Stovall came to five minutes later and inquired the cause of his unconsciousness, he espied the bush er and suddenly remembered. With a wild war whoop, he started after his late companion of the veldt, who imme diately hotfooted It away from the scene, while Stovall" wobbled unsteadily after him. He quit the team on the spot.

Cornell was nearly crazy, grabbed up a stool and chased the newcomer out of the club house. Several players on the San Francisco olub put tip a tremedous Job on a bush player from one of the small California towns far away from the metropolis. The kid had never been "inside of a real ball park before and could hardly be ex pected to be worldly wise. Several of the old heads gained his confidence and presuming to give nlm only the kindliest - advice, sent him to the outfield encased in the catcher's glove, mask, windpad ' and " shln ruards, and with a towel wrapped iround his head so that the ball could not hit him on the dome. It was ex plained to htm that' all the young ball players just breaking in had to do that until they got used to the fly balls dropping around the outfelld. . When he finally found out that he had been made the victim 6f a huge hoax he ducked the olub and was never seen again. These are 1 only omer.of the' funny thing; ' that the bushers do, but they tend ' toV relieve the monotony of the training cAnip season, which Is the hard est period In the life of the professional ball i-layer. . . - , DAVE TANK EVENTS Members of the Oregon Fish . and Game - association, and those Interested In hunting and angling will listen to a program tomorrow, evening at the Im perial hotel, which will cover every phase of the situation In this state, the occasion being the annual dinner of the organization. , - Among the speakers will be Governor West, an ardent sportsman, who will address the banqueters on "The State and Its Relation to Game Protection."
