The Fortlaud Beavers are woefurty
week tn their fielding. Thla can be aeen
by looking over the records of tha nine
practice tames played prior to yester
' day a contest at Stockton against tht
Qulncy, 111, team.
A total of 24 errors wera made in
these fames. Tha Jnftelders wars tha
worst offenders, Korea being tha leader.
: One third of the mlsplaya made being
'charged to him, Seventeen of the 14
errors wort made by tha base guardians,
lleilmann. ; playing second baa, en un
Natural position, made three errors,
while Rodgers, Perrick and McCormlck
-made two oach. . ':
Tha outfielders, with tha exception of
Chad turn a and Krveger, Beamed to be
on tha wrong foot Doane dropped twe
flies out of the seven bit in hia terrl-
tnrv ' Vltararali1'a inra arm m-a r.
aponaibla for hia error, '
Tne . pitching and catching staff
fielded in great style. Only one error
was charged against the catching staff
and that was made by Claud Berry.
Two error were made by tha pitchers,
Krause and Stanley making tha nils,
play.. .,. .
" Manager McCredte will give hia in
fielder the hardest workout of the
training season during the coming week
at Stockton. Tha Infielder will not be
overlooked. .- . -. " ,.
In the batting line, none of the regu
lar player,' except Fltsgerald and flell
mantv were able to stick above tha .390

It is likely that the squad will under,
go aoma hard batting practices before
tha. season open In San Francisco a
' week from Tuesday. - -
tn the nine games, the Beavers scored
43 run, an average of nearly five runs
per game, but a majority of these were

I-be the pride of tha university baseball
team, declaraa CaU Fred C, Ayerawho
ia enthusiastic after working with his
four twlrlers in the gymnasium during
last week. Ayer himself is a pitcher
and is making tha training of Ms box
artists Ms hobby. ' . i " ' 1
"Qtegon will have fn6 'first pitcher
this year," he declares with enthusiasm,
"There wiH be a squad of three, any
of whom I can substitute at any time
of the game; and I have three mighty
good men, too. !.; 'J, :'. ';
"When one or two of those men get
their full form developed' there. wll be
nothing in college baseball, on -the coast
that can touch them," Be continued.
"At present they all lack peer m de
livery, they do not get-their body into
it as much aa they aheulti, but their
progresa has been remarkablei'r He
la especially enthuslasrio ovct hi freBh
man, Tuerlch, from Portland; This one
is a big 190 pounder, who, when be puts
his weight behind them,-can burn them
down so hot that the catchers are handN
ing them mighty carefully. Flemming Is
a freshman who ha alao Shown re
markable improvement during the week,
but atlll lack flrat team-class,
Ia the same way, that Ayera proposes
to have three pi tellers, lie also Intends
to have one additional Infielder, who,
though he may not play at the opening
of the games, will be a first team man
as much a tha other. With this man
he .can pull out any of his Infield and
send them' up to bat without weakening
the team. The team will also carry
two catchers. . .
The first"' base position has been the
object of much speculation. It is now
virtually certain that Fentpn will play
that position.
Buck Bigbee will play second and Ana
Cornell short. Annunsen will hold down
third base.
The man who will fill Fenton's field
ha been - selected. Center field belong
to Mount, and right fields to Chandler;
both of whom have held the place since
they were freshmen, and are among the
Strongest men on the teem, both In hit
ting and fielding.

' stJnltd Press teases JtVlra -Los
-Angeles, March 13. Jim Jeffries'
announcement that he Is going to take
up handball again haa caused another
rot of speculation over his actual ring
intentions,'; The general deduction ap
parently is that the former-' champion
has no real idea Of reentering the ring
and will not unless he yields to the im
portunities of a few of hls'friends who
seem to. want him to - take another
chance, ; ' '
The facts of the" case are as follows:
It is certain that Jeffries has told sev
eral persons that he may. under certain
conditions, fight again. They point out
that Jeffries is popularly" believed not
to have "taken a drink" or smoked a
cigarette for several months;, that he
Is going to begin training with his hand
ball stunts, and that ha Is planning a
fishing trip to the mountains. ? n V
On tha other hind a majority f
sportsmen hert argue that Jeffries'
condition Isn't of the best, and express
doubt that he could ever again get tn
shape for a long, hard battle. It is just
aa certain that he has told many friends
that there isn't a word of truth in re
ports that he- is considering a return to
the ring. A a matter of fact, he has
admitted that he has given a yes and
no answer to the Question. v
The majority opinion is that Jeffries
cannot "come back.'' and that he will
not try to reenter the ring. And this is
the opinion that probably will prevail
hero until the big bollermaker actually
orawla between the ropes, if the major,
lty ere proved Jp the wrong.
