BASEBALL SQUADS
GO SOUTH WAY
Giants First to Leave for the
; Training Camp to Prepare
. for Coming 'Season. .
New Tork, Feb. 11.- The winter base
ball league will disband this week until
next November and the real business of
baseball for 1911 will begin, , The first
' run of the campaign will be fired next
Friday when MoGraw starts a carload
of diamond recruits to Marlln. Texas.
- Within two weeks from that time
there will be upwards of BOO ball play
ers racing around on southern, diamonds
- ana louing in me warm sun that 100s-
ens ' up their' muscles and gets them
ready for the big grind of the season
This migration of ball players to the
south will cost the big league teams
1200,000. That looks like an enormous
figure, but 'without expenditure many
' clubs would stiffen up at the beginning
f the big fight and probably cost the
, owners five times as much. Many fans
' are under the . Impression that spring
, training 1 a method of picking up easy
- money by barnstorming around the
country and drawing In fund In -the
- minor league : oltles. But such Is not
.... ' the case. ':-'!;;;.:-;;;W'
' - They All XiOse Money.
Never In the history of the great
. national pastime did a ball club f all te
' loa money in the spring. Knowing the
' faot that the players draw no salary,
the expenses are enormous. For In
stance, the Giants run up a hotel bill
at Marlln of. $160 a day and It's a
cheap hotel at that They stay la Mar
; lin for- five weeks , and the only re
ceipts that come In during that time
r ' . are for the Saturday and Sunday games
; at Dallas, Fort Worth. Houston and San
.. Antonio. . These receipts barely pay the
. expenses of. the trip to and from those
: cities to say nothing of the two days'
extra hotel expenses. When the team
: starts on Its way east It is at a dead
loss, as the receipts of exhibition games
never equal the cost of traveling.
- The books of the New York club show
that spring training usually costs about
16.000. The Athletics, Tigers. Reds.
Cubs, Pirates, Naps and Sox have about
, the same expenses.
St. Louis Birr Save.
The two St, Louis clubs have been
able to save a lot of expenses by train
ing at West Baden or French Lick
Springs, Ind for a short time and then
going back to St Louis for the finish
ing touches. '
The clubs average temethlng like 15
players. Some of them carry more
than that The Giants this season will
v carry about 46 while the Highlanders
, will have 43, The weaker clubs that
. cannot afford so many carry from 80
to 35. It can be seen that nearly (00
players in all take the trip to the south
every spring. The magnates have de
vised all sorts of schemes to avoid the
excessive cost of spring; training, but to
no avail. Some have rone so far as to
try and train In the north, but It won't
work.
The managers of experience have
, . found that the only way to ret ball
.clubs into condition is to take the play
ers into the far south where they can
rest from their labors without stiffen
ing up their mnscles.
Indoor Work Ho Good.
- Indoor work Is of absolutely no avail
One must breathe the warm air and
they must be in a climate where
they can rest on the field without
catching cold or develop "Charley
horse." The only place such a climate
can be found Is in the southern part
or the united Htates. The Cuban cli
mate Is too warm and there is also the
Inconvenlenoe of early rain in the
spring.
The facilities for getting news of the
baseball doings into the larre cities also
have to be taken Into consideration.
For Instance, the Bermuda Islands
would be an 'excellent spot for training
hut the cost or cable toils would rac-
tloally make it lmposible to keep' the
fans snrormea er what is going on.
. Money for Telegraph Companies,
' The managers of the telegraph com
pantos say:
"More stuff Is filed ever the -wires
about baseball ln the spring than- any
other subject' In all the spring train
ing camps special telegraph wires" are
strung and extra operators sent along
to handle the news from the many cor
respondents.
. When all ef the 16 clubs are In the
south there will be SO baseball corres
pondents with them. In Marlln both
telegraph companies have put up special
. wires and havet -engaged extra operators
In anticipation of the visit ef the Gl
. . ants.
' The Giants will be the first ef the
-: teams to start south as McOraw be
lieves in taking plenty of time. He will
: send the recruits and young pitchers
first i A week later the veterans will
report-
1 . The Highlanders will not start until
. the first of March. , Manager Wolver
ton will not spilt up his squad as was
: ei nrsx wienaea, out win work them
. all together.
Three Clnbs at Hot Spring.
The Brooklyn club - will start during
the first week in March and will report
at Hot Springs, Ark. The people of that
health resort are looking forward to a
lot of fun and excitement as they will
have the- Pittsburg club, the Boston
Red Sox and the'Brooklyns all at one
'... time. .-..-:'-.'' ..tv,-;'i
New Orleans will also have two clubs,
, the Tigers and the Cubs.
Over in Texas the Uiants, the"' White
1 Sox and the Athletics will all be in
' close touch. An attempt has been made
'.; to have these two clubs play exhibition
games but it is unlikely, McGraw not be-.-
' llevlng in big league teams playing each
other before the beginning of the sea-
son. ' It is his idea that the players are
- likely to have their pride aroused and
over exert themselves to win. As a
. consequence, some of them are In dan
ger of injury. -

Another vigorous attempt is being
made on the part of the alumni of the
University of Oregon and Oregon Agri
cultural college to ret the two blr state
Institutions together In athletics, fol
lowing the break In relations In 110,
on account of street rioting after the
annual game.
C. N. McArtbur and D. V. Walker,
two of the most prominent graduates
of the respective colleges in the city.
are lending their pronounced support to
the movement, and both have frequent
ly expressed themselves as opposed to
the spirit that .caused and continued the
rift in relations.
Relative to the matter The Journal
has secured interviews with these
prominent in the arrairs of totn col
leges, which are as follows:
CorvaUis Hot Antagxnlstla
Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallia,
Feb. 13. Although there is no anxiety
of the part on the Oregon Agricultural
college to resume athletic relations with
the University of Oregon, the CorvaUis
authorities do not assume an antagon
istic attitude in regard to the subject
President W. J. Kerr refused to be
interviewed today but made the state
ment that in his opinion the main issue
is principally a. question of the two In
stitutions agreeing upon some plan
which is mutually satisfactory.
The matter has heen frequently dis
cussed on the campus of late and also
among several of the alumni associa
tions throughout the state. When ques
tioned this afternoon, B. O. Rice, presi
dent of the Agricultural college student
body, made the following ' statement:
'The general sentiment or me student
body seems to indicate that there is
very little opposition to the resumption
of athletio relations with the State uni
versity, provided satisfactory arrange
ments can be made to that end, we fully
realise that the relations of the two in
stitutions should be of a friendly na
ture and that a clean Sportsmanship
rivalry should prevail.
"It is plain to us that interested peo
ple of the state should be considered
In this matter.' We feel that they de
sire to see the two schools again meet
In athletic contests, and In this respect
O. A. C does not wish to assume a con-.
1111 season. In addition to Hogan,
Johnny ivane. Ham Patterson,. Dolly
Gray, Speed McDonnell and George Stln-
son reported yesterday at the park,
donned their spangles and .pursued the
pill for an hour. Hogan plans to In
crease this period dally, also adding to
the squad as the various vernonites re
turn to the city. Vernon will play a
local semlpro. club in the first practice
game of the - season March 3, and the
Angels and Vernon clubs will begin their
regular training the following day.
Phillies After Brown.
(United Press Leased Wlre.1
New Tork. Feb. 13. Magnates of the
National league met here today to adopt
a schedule, already made out, for the
playing year of 1912.
The principal interest In the meeting,
outside of the schedule, is an attempt
being made by the Phillies to purchase
"Three Fingered" Mordecai Brown, the
Cub pitcher. Manager. Dooln of the
Phillies believes that with Brown to
strengthen his pitchlnr staff, be would
have more than a look-in for the leader
ship of the league this year. ,
Victoria Releases Two.
The Victoria club has released - two
inflelders. Bob-tWhallnr, a first base
man and brother of. Bert Whaling, tne
Seattle catcher, was the first te re
ceive the blue envelope, and third base
man Clinton was the second victim.

Deadlock at Sugwae.
Eugene, XJr., Feb. 13. The athletio
squabble between Oregon and O. A. C
seems to be at a deadlock ms far as the
University of Oregon Is concerned. The
attitude at Eugene as expressed by
members of the faculty and student
body is that O. A. C started the contro
versy when they severed relations with
the varsity and that the first steps in
adjusting the difficulty should come
from them.
In speaking of the matter President
Campbell said this morning:
"As I understand it, the student body
of the Agricultural college passed a
resolution severing athletic relations
with the student body of the university.
I think that the rescinding of that reso
lutlon would be necessary before any
action could be taken towards making
new schedules. I do not . think that
there is any unwillingness amongst the
students of the university to renew ath
letic relations."
Professor Joseph Schaefer, head of
the department of history and a mem
ber of the athletio council, and Dr. It
B. Leonard of the department of mathe
matics, also a member of the athletic
council, both expressed the same state
ment Dr. Schaefer said:
'The first steps of the trouble came
from O. A. C and it seems to me that
they should be the ones to start the
now much talked of conciliation."
Graduate Manager Geary said:
"The students of the University of
Oregon I know would welcome any pro
posals from the O. A. C. students to
renew athletic relations. In fact the only
apparent obstacle to my signing con
tracts, with the Oregon Agricultural col
lege is ' ths resolution rescinding ath
letio relations passed by the O. A. C.
student body. ..
"From Interviews with the different
members of the Oregon Athletic council,
I know that any contracts signed by me
under the proper conditions would be
ratified."

M'CREDIE HAS GREATEST TRAINING ;

-.. V1 '"-, .-v: ' :"-, -'ii I , :, t' '-' -.- '-' ',s''-.',
Never before has the Portland base
ball club had the training camp outlook
for games as It has this season. There
are men for every position en the reg
ular and Tannlgan teams s.nV it may be
safely said, the oontest for places will
be keener than -on any club that has
made its- rendesvous, under the super
vision of Manager Mc'Credie.

i Heretofore, t has been necessary . to
pull In an outfielder to play one of
the diamond positions, "6r switch a
pitcher to fill in on the bases, because
there were not enough inflelders to go
around. This season Manager Mao not
only has two full teams, but a couple
of men to spare, and, moreover, he has
at least two men trying for every posi
tion. From a standpoint of Regular
rannigan games the situation could not
be better. - ' ' ,.'
. Six Are Vets.
. Six of the nine men who will form
the regular team are veterans. The
newcomers are Howley, behind the bat;
Doane, in right field and Coltrln at
short Until this year, the strength of
the two teams was somewhat balanced,
by placing the regular outfielders and
one or two of the Inflelders on the
senior team. This combination, how
ever, did not admit of much teamwork
until the club was ready to tone down
for the official opening of the sea
son. With- so many veterans signal
nractice will be in order after two
weeks of preliminary work, instead of a
month, as heretofore.
Manager MoCredle has, resrved him
self a position in the Tannlgan outfield.
The bridegroom likes to be on the field
with his young players so that he can
tell them what to do in an emergency
and straighten out their faults in field
ing. However, he will play in all of
the sames there, giving a chance to
others to get most of the advantage of
the regular games. Games more than
anything else serve to sharpen the
player's wits, and keep him in fighting
mood. From the standpoint of dally
contests, the squad will got the best
workout since Skipper McCredle has
been at the helm of the good ship
Beaver.
Hay Transform Btsiger.
Right off the reel Manager Mac
sprung a new one, when he stated that
"Lefty" Stelger, the new southpaw
pitcher from St. Paul, would be given
a chance at first base. McCredle is
touting him highly for that position,
upon Information from Mike Kelly, the
St Paul manager.
"Kelly told me." said Manager Mac
this mornlna-. "that he would have made
a first baseman out of Stelger, if he
hadn't nossessed the best initial sacaer
in the American association in Autry.
flteirer is left handed and as lasi as
a bullet, and he has a style at bat that
nhould make him hit close xo me .uu
mark if he plays regularly. Left hand
ed first basemen are tne noys wno
carry off the bacon these days, espe
cially when tney nave speeo. to oacn n
up. If Stelger shows that he has just
a little bit more as a bagman than as
a twirler, I'm going to let him fill in
the utility role there. With Peters re
porting in May, as it now appears he
will, we shall be well fixed at first
base. Rapps ought to play better ball
this vear. for he has had plenty of
experience, but Bill will have to hump
to keep these kids from crowding him
out ef a Job.
Glad to Sign Howley.
"We were awfully glad to receive Dan
Howley's contract He will take Kuhn's
place admirably. Thati will give us
Howley as the Regular catcher and
Mickey LaLonge and Burch as the Tan
nlgan backstops. This trio will give
our young pitchers a fine workout
Howley -Is an old head at the game and
LaLonge is no spring chicken..

have to go some to beet- him out of

say Bancroft is a mia-htv cood lad.
"You never can tell about baseball.
Even though I regard Bill Rodgera as
the best prospect in the Coast league
after, one year's ; experience, this lad
McDowell might crowd him some. Mc
Dowell has a great record. If Rodgers
had a little stronger arm I. would be
tempted to play him in the short field.

"Lindsay, of course, has the edge on
Kibble, because he has had more ex
perience. Kibble Is more or less of an
unknown quantity, so we can't tell what
kind of a fight Lindsay will have to
put up to guard third during the season.
If Peters reports early, he, too, must be
considered at third. .Mathes,- Strait and
Doane will furnish the training camp
excitement in the outfleldt for the veldt
vacated by Buddy Ryan. Unless Krue
ger and Chadbourna drop dead- they
will be seen in two of the gardens.
Jack Barry writes ; from Ocean Park,
near Los . Angeles, , that Chadbourno
weighs 12 pounds more than be did last
year and Is In superb shape. He ought
to have an Immense season.
"Everything taken into consideration,
we should have . a great training year,
and if we do not repeat on the gonfalon,
wo shall make the league know that
we are In the race."

BOX SEATS TO COS i
4 CENTS EACH CA
.it
Judge McCredie's Plan Is to
Take Care of the Reg
ular Fan.
Portland has probably established . a
new , record in the matter of box seat
cost at the new ball park, and the fan
who likes to "be somewhat exclusively
situated while ' watching the gume, can
do so at an average cost of 4 cents a
game for his privilege.-! Judge Mo
Credle stated this morning that the box
Idea was to take care of- the patron of
the game who could not get out tor the
park early enough to secure himself
a seat Jn the grandstand. v.
The seats are going very rapidly and
at this stage .of , the 1912 season about
half of them are gone. It is very likely
that- the demand will be so great In
the future that Judge MoCredle may
consider a proposition to put in box
seats on the sun side of the stand, fig
uring that many; business men would
welcome the chance to sit In the' sun a
few hours. a day. vU; ;;Y-i..-'
In discussing the box , matter this
morning, Judge MoCredle said: - i fi'-.- '
,,.' Cost Zs 8retty Small. .i'';t-''l
"The boxes are numbered 1 to 10 in
clusive, and contain 4 to 8 seats- per
box, lettered A, B, C, D, E, and 10. n The
price' per season subject to at grand
stand ticket is 17 per seat. ' Box seats
per game will be 25 cents extra. : The
object of these reserved seats is mor
particularly to provide the regular fan
with a seat at any and all games, if
he so desires. If a purchaser attended
every game, there being scheduled 1J
games, it would cost htm extra a trtflj
over 4 cents per game. .-.
"A person purchasing a seat' for ths
season has the absolute control of it
for the season. In his absence he can
permit any one he desires to occupy it
upon giving Such person written author
ization to occupy his seat, ' properly
signed. In case any one should pur
chase more than one seat which many
do, such person can take any of - his
"Outside of the boxes there will be uo
reserved seats sold as long as the big
grandstand is sufficiently large to ac
commodate all desiring a grandstand
