AALTER KUHN BAGK
Callahan Will Order Him to
Report at Waco Next
Month.
B There Is no hop of Portland getting
' hold of Walter Kuhn, although several
, weeks ago- Judge McCredie thought he
could induce Comlskey to allow him the
use of the peppery redhead for the sea
n. In a wire to The Journal this
morning, Manager Jimmy Callahan said
that Kuha would be a regular member
of the White Sox cent year. hus dissi
pating all rumors that he would remain
. with Portland or go to Minneapolis. ,
Just at present, the Chicago wire says,
Comlskey is doing nothing with Kuhn
until notified that he can take up the
l case with the great little catcher. The
Journal's Chicago correspondent Inter
viewed Callahan, who made the follow
lowlng statement this "morning: "We
, are waiting for the national commission
0 notify us of Kuhn's reinstatement by
ratifylng the action of the minor league
bard regarding his case. I expect to
have him with us In Waco. Kuhn has
a great reputation on the Pacific coast,
and competent critics declare him to be
btg league material "Ight now. I think
that we will keep him with us all year."
' Wront Way About It r
Walter McCredie says that Vean
: Gregg went the wrong way about It to
get ths famous 15000 from Cleveland.
Mao says that If Gregg had called on
Komers before left and told him
what he thought be was worth, the, pair
might easily have gotten together. Now
that It has been aired in the newspapers,
Mac thinks the Cleveland magnate Is a
; bit peeved, and won't come through with
all that Vean demands. . Cleveland says
Gregg's arm went bad, Imt Vearr himself
- told Walter that It was as good as ever,
and that the reason he didn't pltfeft' eny
; more was due to the of act that he
thought-he had done a little bit more
, than his share In winning 2$ and losing
; 7. He says he could easily have re
mained for-the final games and the
state championship, but knew that
Cleveland couldn't get any higher than
- tnlrd, and didn't see the use of pitching
himself out That talk sounds Just
like Gregg, end no doubt every word of
It Is gospel with him.

Manager Dorr of the freshman bas

the baby class will meet the Washing

be a good one for the team work and
continued practice of the preps -will be
about equivalent to ths Individual abil

They have a fast team of individual
stars who, however, have had little
practice since the class championship
was decided nearly a month ago. . The
team has lost the services of Captain
Rader, who was recruited for work on
the varsity five. The line-up will be
chosen from the following men: Boy

The team has reported a very pleasant

ially good report is made by the players
of their treatment at the hands of the
University of Washington. The direc
tor of athletics of Gontaga college has
written to Manager Geary, saying that
Oregon .should be complimented on the
sportsmanship of their five. The hope
that Oregon and Gomaga might often
meet in the future was expressdr
Ajp a contradiction there comes a com.
plaint from Walla Walla Y. M. C. A.
that the Oregon players used vacuum
soled shoes and greased the floor so
that the Walla Walla players were at
a disadvantage with their smooth shoes.
The practice among basketball players
of putting vaseline on the soles of their
shoes to prevent slipping was probably
new to the Walla Walla fans. This

cisco fight fans today are agog over
the battle this afternoon between Frank
Klaus of PltUburg'and Sailor Petroskey
for premier honors In the middleweight
division. ,
Klaus Is a pnorounced favorite, the
odds being 2 to 1 that he wll) win, and
even money that Klaus will knock out
the sailor within 16 rounds. Most of
the sports figure that although Petros
key is a husky boy with a strong heart
he lacks the experience necessary In a
clash with a man of Klaus' ability.
Many of the local boy's admirers,
however,' believe that he will tiro Klaus
out and be found forcing the fighting
at the end of the bout.
Whatever the outcome, a real mill
from the top of the gong to the finish
is assured. Both men are said to be In
