Ke'.atlve to the games in the north,
f; Manager Muldoon said;
i . -."The iioodoo' of the Portland team
while playing, with Victoria has had
the boyr working overtime in trying
to break the spell. The Portland
? -: hockeylsts have played three games in
". Victoria, winning the first by a score
' Of 8 to 4; losing the second 4 to 3,
after 12 minutes overtime and drop
ping the third, 6 to 5, after 18 min
. utes of overtime. In both of the over
time games, Portland had the game
cinched up to the last period, when
fhey volplaned and in each instance
: the Victoria team has piled up enough
goals to even the score, winning out in
the overtime period.
"Victoria hss always been one of
' tha ' hardest teams in the league to
defeat on their own Ice. To score a
goal acts the same on the players
a as a shot of bop to a race horse. An
:.. Instance of this occurred in the last
' game. With five minutes to go and
" . Portland leading by a score of 6 to 2,
? Harris was put on the fence for a
" Tninor penalty- to be followed half
- a minute later by Throop for hooking.
Lester ; Patrick secured the puck and
, succeeded in duking Mitchell, making
a goal.
'Half a minute later Oatman and
Patrick came under the eye of the
referee, and were banished for rough
ing it. Dunderdale of Victoria took
- a. pass from the corner, and had no
; trouble beating Mitchell. Victoria

tiful combination play, Kerr sent in a
shot that beat Mitchell, winning the
game."
"The game 4n Vancouver drew one
of the largest crowds that has wit.
netted a hockey game on the Pacific
coast this year. The Portland team had
a large following and it was hard to
dintinguifch by tiie amount or applause,
whether it was the homo team or the
visitors that had scored. A number
of fans came up from Seattle to wit
ness tills game and New Westminster,
where this team played last year, was
practically deuerted, the fans coming
over to root, for their old favorites.
"The first period was very fast. The
Vancouver forward line skated like a
bunch of demons and had it not been
for the checking back of the Rosebud
forward line a:iU the airtight defense,
Vancouver would have taken a com
niandlriR lead. Taylor was the idol
of the fana. lie skated, swerved and
turned aa only he can. Maekay was
also in the limelight. His stick hand
ling was wonderful and ha was in po
sition many a time to shoot, but his
shots were always blocked by Oatman
before he could gauge them. McDon
ald made a beautiful run from bis own
goal and took a long shot at Lehman.
The shot was high and had Lehman
not touched it, it would have missed
the top of the net. As it was Lehman's
hand deflected it Into the net making
the first goal for Portland after 6:35
of play.
SI Griffia Works Hard.
"Griffis, the big Vancouver captain,
tried hard to tie the score, but the
Portland defense was impregnable. The
Vancouver play was more of Individ
uality or two-man combination. The
Portland team, working the three man
defense, did not seem to have much
trouble in stopping the Vancouver for
wards. The play was very fa3t and
many beautiful combination play a in
which both teams took part were made
before Taylor, taking a pass from Mai-
len, scored tne tying goal after 5:25
of play. Harris had been benched for
three minutes for tripping when this
occurred. After Portland had Harris
back on the ice, they took the offen
sive and Lehman was kept very busy,
but managed to stave off the Rose
buds' attack for the balance of the
period.
"The second period opened up with a
rush, the Portland team boring in on
the Vancouver goal. Johnson's work
was the prominent feature and he was
loudly applauded, when, after 4:20 of
play, he slipped the disc past Lehman,
hitting the nt and putting his team in
the lead. This seemed to have the de
sired effect on his teammates. The
Portland boys made the Vancouver

Manager Walter McCredie announced the sale yesterday of Frank
Eastley tKe right-handed pitcher to the new Salt Lake club. It was
originally intended to send Eastley to the Spokane club of the North
western - league, but he balked a little, and McCredie offered him to
Blankenship. Cliff looked up the work of Eastley and concluded to take
hitn off McCredie's hands.
Eastley is a good pitcher and will doubtless make a valuable man
for the Salt Lake club. He has been working hard this winter and has
put on strength and weight. The release involved no exchange of
players. This makes two ex-Portlanders who are with the newly organ
ized Salt Lake club, the other being Buddy Ryan. Eastley is popular
in Portland and the best wishes of the fans go with him. '
Eastley has always been a good hitter and in his 13 games last year
after being pulled over from the Colts batted .316. He won 4 and lost 2
f ames for an average of .667. He was responsible for 2.80 runs per game.
ic handled 4 outs and 14 assists perfectly, being tied with Spider Baum
and U. S. Smith with 1.000 fielding per cent.

The old ball player is having a hard time to connect these days and
more than one league is getting rid of the high-priced old heads in
favor of' the medium-paid youngsters. The American association, refuge
for many a major leaguer who has outlived his usefulness up above, is
trying to sell or trade players to the Pacific Coast league, but for the
most part none of them will land out in this league, which, for the most
part is made up of hustling youth. The magnates are beginning to see
that it is money wasted to pay for brains instead of ability.
The Pacific Coast league baseball schedule will be released for publi
cation next Sunday morning. Prexy Baum has followed out the plan
of last )ear.
;
The Indianapolis club wired Manager McCredie that it would know
definitely in a week just what dates would be given the Beavers at
Fresno. This probably means that the American Association team is
not positive it will make the trip to the coast. McCredie is banking on
the Indianapolis club to help fill out
Two of the latest applicants for positions with the Beavers are Babe
Reams, who had coffee and doughnuts with Nick Williams at Santa Rosa
last spring, and Mike Cann, once promising looking left-hander, who,
after a vicarious existence in the eastern leagues, was tried out last year
by Sacramento. Cann, and Reamsboth believe they can get into shape,
but McCredie had to turn them down, as he Vs already overloaded.

PACIFIC COAST INFIELDS
LOOK GOOD ON PAPER
By aeerfe Berts.
The infields of practically every one
of the Pacific Coast league teams will
be rebuilt this spring. The various
managers have scoured the country
for tossers to replace those sold or
drafted by the major league clubs and
Los Angeles in particular is dickering
for a shortstop to fill the shoes of
Ernie Johnson, who hopped to the
Federals.
Forty-three players are billed for
tryouts with the teams, and it is ex
pected that more will be signed before
the opening of the training season,
Oakland and Salt Lake each have nine
infleldera signed up at aresent. Mana
ger Wolverton of the Ban Francisco
team, has seven, and Portland and Lo
Angeles follow with six each. Happy
Hogan baa five infielders, but he will
likely add one or two to his squad in
the near future.
Manager Walter McCredie of the
champion Beavers, will likely start the
season with an entire new infield line
up. Captain Bill Rodgera was . sold to
the Cleveland Indians and Dave Ban
croft, the speedy shortstop, was pur
Chased - by the Philadelphia Nationals
Art Kores was grabbed by the New
York Giants in the draft season, and
now Manager Mac is planning to send
First Baseman Derrick to the St.
Louis Browns, which leaves him with
but one infielder of his last season's
club Bobby Davis.
Seals Bare Viw Zafield.
The San Francisco Seals will have a
new infield with one exception. Man
ager Wolverton having Corhan in the
shortstop position, although the Feds
were- hot after this great infielder.
Del Howard will be missing from first
base, and Harry Hellman, who was
with the Detroit Tigers last season,
will be stationed there. "Crabby" BUI
Leard will likely beat Jerry Downs out
of the second base Job, and Jones, the
Union association recruit. Is slated to
hold down third base this year, vice
Charlie O'Leary.
Manager Christian of the Oakland
team, is planning a new infield, and
one that will keep the Oaks in the
pennant race.. Christian has a number
of speedy tossers signed up and will
have a hard Job when the time comes
for him to reduce his roster. Salt Lake
will have a good infield, also, as Man
ager Blankenship has picked up a
number of good fielders and hitters.
besides those which were turned over
to the Utah city when it purchased the
Sacramento franchise.
Manager Dilon of Los Angeles, is
after some bard hitting infielders this
season. Bill Absteln will be found at
the Initial base when the season opens.
but Just who will be playing the other
positions is not known. Happy Hogan
promises .the fans that the Tigers' in
field will be a cracker jack. Hogan. has
two ex-big leaguer on his squad at
present, and is angling for a first
eacker to replace Borton, who hopped
to the Federals at the close of the J.914
season. - t--
SCeCredie'a Xisyont.
The players Walter McCredie Of
Portland has lined up to fill the places
of bis last season's stars are Nau go
ton, who was with the Pendleton West
era Trl-State league' team last season;
Milton Reed, who hails from the Phila
delphia Nationals; Murphy, a Jersey
City shortstopper, and BobbyColtrin,
who was a member of the Portland
Ballard team of last season. Neugh
ton is a second baseman, and the
other three played shortstop last sea
son, but they will be. given a chance
to show their ability at the second
and third sacks by McCredie. Bobby
Davis Will try out for the third base
1ob also, and if Derrick is sold to St
Louis, it Is likely that McCredie will
demand a first baseman xrom nm
American League club to replace him.
BJUy Speas may also be given an op
portunity to play first.

Wednesday of the week following
another game IS scheduled to find the
cellar champions while on the next
Wednesday it Is proposed to match
th- winners of the first places against
a team . from the association secre
taries. After the teams are once in
playing condition It Is. proposed to
keep them so by frequent games be
tween the floors, ft
by the Beaver boss. Coltrln is a
splendid fielder, but Is rather weak
with the stick.
The Ban Franclscon Infield will like
ly be Heilmann. first base; Leard,
second base; Corhan, shortstop, and
Jones er O'Leary. third base. Hell
mann will have no trouble batting In
the Coast league this coming season
and should field with the best of them.
Wolverton expects BUI Leard to play
great ball at the keystone sack, and
Corhan has his job la the short field
cinched. " '
Jones Bated aa Wonder, j
Jones. te recruit who took part In
a number of games at third base last
season, is rated as a wonder and will
be given all the chance jn the world to
make good at the difficult corner. He
hit like a fiend In the Union associa
tion last season, but his fielding aver
age was none too good. He will un
doubtedly improve. Just what will be
come of Downs and O'Leary Is inot
known, but It Is almost an assured
fact that these two players will be
missing from the Coast league this
season. i
Look over the infielders signed by
Oakland: Ness, first base; Marcan,
Birmingham; Manda, Pecatur; Dowl
Ing, Pgden, second base; Alcock.i Chi
cago Americans; Lindsay, New Or
leans; . Lltschi,- Venice, third base.
and Quest, shortstop. Rube Gardner
is still a member of the Oaks, but he
will likely be disposed of before the
opening of the season. ' j
Ness la assured of the first i base
job, wnne Aiarcan, wno was in lean
ing fielding second baseman of, the
Southern league last season, appears to
hold the upper hand for the keystone
position. Manda is rated very highly
and may be retained by Christian.
Alcock is the man who will likely play
shortstop, and Bill Lindsey will hold
down third base if he is in good, con
dition, if not Lou Litsohl will get the
Job. Guest is slated for the utility
role at present, but he may be traded
or released to some other team, i
Xogsa Ztlxes Biff learners.
Hap Hogan has his plans laid to
have Doc White on firet;Bllly Purtell,
who was with Detroit, on second; Joe
Berger at short, and Gus Hetling on
third. The Venice boss, however, la
looking around for a first Backer in
case Doc White does not live up to ex
pectations, Hosp will likely be re
tained as utility Infielder, and 1 Don
Rader will likely be traded er sold to
some Northwestern or Western league
team.
Tom Tennant, the veteran I first
Backer of the Coast circuit, will j have
to fight Hester, who played first base
with the Salt Lake Union association
team last season, for the initial sack
job on Balkenshlp's club. Tennant Is
a better fielder and hitter, and al
though he has not signed his contract
yet, be will likely land the position.
Faye of Denver, Gedeon of Los An
geles, and French of Salt Lake, are
slated to try out for the keystone posi
tion. Billy Orr will play shortstop,
and Halllnan, Gay and Barbour, i for
merly with . Denver, will be the candi
dates, for the third base position.
Manager Dillon will likely grab sev
eral infielders before opening the
Angel training camp. Bill Abstain is a
fixture at first base, and George
Metsger has almost a' cinch hold on
the third base Job, Page at second is
doubtful. Terry, tha former Stanford
University playerand McMullin of the
Tacoma Tigers, are the -youngsters who
will get trials with the Angels.

Thought sale Had Been Concluded But
In Mase of Turning Over Clnb to
Hew Owners Wa rorgotten.
New Tork. r Feb. . .-wild Bill"
Donovan, who is serving time as malin
gers of the Yankees, uttered a fpw
kind words recently and1 thereby nuuia
a mistake that may coat his employers
about 17,000 Jn regular money.
Here Is the story as it comes to us:
When Ban Johnson Coaxed Colonel
Jake Ruppert and Captain Til Huston
to buy the Yankees he made a number
Of promises. Included In the liBt wan
one whereby he guaranteed that'Frank
Navln who owns, the Detroit Tigers
would turn over to the Yankee owners
two players for the amall Hum of $.V
000 "a bargain price, believe me, gen
tlemen.. -
"Fine, fine," said Huston and T?(ip
pert. "We accept."
The- players Involved were Messrs.
Pipp and High. Mister High nevr wa
held In very high esteem in Detroit and
Pipp graduated from the minor leas-'
uers at the close of the 1914 seanon;
But when "Wild Bill" heard about get
ting these two players he got very ex
cited about It.
"Gee, that's great." said "Wild Bill.''
"Those boys are birds. ' That fellow
Pipp is some slugger. I watched his
work in the International. League last
season. Lordy, how he can hit. He's
a Jewel. I predict that In a year or so
he will rank as one of ' the greatest
players In the game."
Vow Tor the Sigh Stuff.
Going further, "Wild Bill" Bald:
I "That boy High Is a -great ball plsv
er. He Is a diamond In the rough. He
didn't have much or a chance to de
velop in Detroit, but m trtre him a
chance and you'll see him develop."
Wild BUI," as you may notice from
these remarks, was quite a booster.
Well, in due course of time "Wild
Bill's" kind words about High end I'lpp
trickled into Detroit and got Into VruvH
Navln's ears. Navln pondered over
these words, recalled the fact that lie
had agreed to let those players looe
for the small sum of $3000 and prompt
ly figured that he had been "stung."
"Gosh, I didn't know those fellows
were such good ball players," Navln Is
said to have mused. 'Let 'em go for
