They'd Like to See Heading Northwest Club. ,

Ah there, Mr. Fan and Mrs. Fannie!
Do you want to pick the manager for
the Portland Northwestern league club?
Judge McCredie has appealed for
help." He has so many candidates that
he can't handle the situation, he con
f esses. The fans will have a chance to
name the manager, provided, of course,
that he meets with the magnate's ap
proval. It is bound to he a lot of fun and
Judge McCredie promises to be guided
by the way the fans vote, contingent of
course on the ability of the most popu
lar selection and the owner to come to
gether on terms, policy, eto.
Field Is Large One
There are- a large number of candi
dates in the field through their own de
sires and through the Judge's expression
of confidence. A majority of them are
from the Portland Beavers.
The Idea the Judge will put into ef
fect is somewhat new when a large city
Is taken under consideration. It has
probably never been tried before in a
city of 300,000 population and Its out
come will be watched with interest. -
If the selection is eventually made
according to this plan, it Is hardly to
be believed that the new manager will
be roasted from the bleachers or grand
stand for a bit of strategy that goes
wrong. And if he is roasted, will his
proponents be on hand to drown out the
adverse sentiment in the 'usual way?
That remains to be seen. It is barely
possible, too, that the majority may
get out an injunction to keep the minor
ity from "riding" the popularly selected
-manager. Of course all this remains to
be . worked out.
Rodgers Looks Like Best
Among those who have been promi
nently mentioned In the managerial race,
who probably stands at the top but for
one drawback, is Bill Rodgers, the cap
tain of the Beavers in all but his first
year with the club. Rodgers admittedly
would .be the best manager McCredie
could get outside of Nephew Walter,
who will be with the- Salt Lake club
next season.
The only thing against Rodgers Is the
fact that he has a lot of critics in the
bleachers, caused by his habit of stick
' Ing out his chin and' playing ball re
gardless of the gibes from the 26 cent
section. The best argument against
the bleachers is the fact that the of
ficial records year after year show
Rodgers leading all the second basemen
In fielding. But it Is Rodgers' bulldog
tenacity that tethers the nanny of the
bleachers to the wire netting and natu
rally they resent It Whether It is sin
cere or a desire to ride someone Is not
exactly clear, but when the Clark Grif
fith bat and ball fund collection wai
taken here last summer, Rodgers
crawled right tn among the "wolves" of
the bleachers, and his hat was full of
clinking coins when he emerged.
Is Opposition Deep-Booted!
Sacramento would like to have Rodg
ers manage that club and it Is said that
he was being considered by Salt Lake
before McCredie was appointed. He
knows baseball and he can play It. In
passing, it might be remarked that
Rodgers several seasons ago went the
first 40 games, in round numbers, with
out an error, and when he happened to
foosle an easy one up here the bleachers
Immediately got busy.
Of course, when Rodg clicked out
three-bagger a Ilttie later, his friends
over there, and the enemy, too. Joined in
a round of applause. This would seem
to Indicate that the bleachers' opposl
tlon is not deep-rooted. It will he seen,
however, in the forthcoming voting, how
Rodgers stands. If. in the meantime, he
Is not appointed by Sacramento as Its
manager.
It is also believed that Babe Borton
would make X splendid leader for the
club, although Babe has not had
much field experience as Rodgers. Bor
ton can hit the ball as well as anyone tn
the league and would Just about lead the
Northwestern league.
Siglla and Fisher Ssggested
Paddy Siglln and Gus Fisher have
also been under consideration. .Siglln is
a quiet fellow but he has quite a tem
per when he is called upon to show It.
Fisher would be a good man at de
veloping young pitchers, and his hitting
would help In the Northwestern. Gus
experienced his worst season In 1917
since being In the Coast league, -but it
Is believed the slump is only temporary,
Artie Griggs has also been mentioned
but some may think that Griggs lacks
Initiative. He has horse sense, however,
and a lot of It is needed by a baseball
manager.
Another suggested Is Billy Sullivan
the old White Sox catcher. Sullivan
might make a good enough bench man
ager, but bench managers are not par
ticularly wanted In these days of hard
times and contracted lists of ball play
ers..
McCredie Bnek In lilt
At any rate the manager will be ap
pointed zor oniy one year, as Walter Me
Credie will be back In the circuit to
lead the club In 1919, according to pres
ent pians.
Now listen to the letter carrier who
peddles post to room 825 Teon building
begin to verbally lambast the Judge,

Sharkey Tells of Happy Day
Los Angeles, Deo. 22. Tom Sharkey, 1
old-time heavyweight boxer and a part
ner of Jim Jeffries in business here,
Is mighty proud of Uncle Sam's navy
boys these days. Every time the Jack
Tars down at San Pedro started a
benefit to bolster up the athletic fund
Sharkey was with them with his aid
and funds. Tom, however plans to
leave Los Angeles and go Into business
in New York.
Sharkey saw eleven years of service
In the navy from 1885 to 1898, and not
only popularised boxing aboard ship,
but developed into the undisputed cham
pion scrapper of the navy and came
mighty near developing into the cham
pion of the world.
Introduced the Sport.
"I was .the guy that Introduced box
ing In the navy," said Sharkey here.
"When I first Joined the navy I was
on the old Vermont, which was at that
time in Brooklyn harbor. I had a set
f boxing gloves and some gymnasium
apparatus .with me when X went on
board ship . and I know the sailors
looked on me as some sort of a nut.'
"I managed to dig up a few spar
ring partners and some of the boys
started to take bit of interest In the
sport ,
- Met Opponent On Deek.
Then I was transferred to the
Philadelphia and we were stationed at
Honolulu for a long time, and I con
tinued my boxing. It wasn't long before
' X was the real champion of the ship,
and then other ships took up the sport.
"One time tn Honolulu they picked
a big fellow named Nig Burley to fight I
me ana we battled on deck. I beat
Burley In eight rounds and the offi
cers who watched the scrap liked It,
and from that time on boxing was en
couraged. "It wasn't long before other , ships
took up boxing and before long every
ship had its champion In the different
divisions and the game was on hand
to stay.
Get Discharge la
"I fought a number of regular scraps
while I was tn the navy, my biggest be
ing with Jim Corbett and Joe Choyn
skL Then, when I got my discharge
in 1898, I went into the game as a
business and fought Fltsstmmons, Jeff
ana aii ine other good ones.
"My boxing days in the navy were
a big help to me. as a fighter. I had
many a tough battle on shipboard,
but In all my ring career I never met
better sportsmen or gamer fighters
than the sailors I had to tackle to keep
my title as champion of the navy.
"Them Was the Happy Dsys.w
"I've had my ups and downs and
never found the world a particularly
easy fellow to battle, but of ray whole
life, X look back on my years In the
navy as my happiest.
"Boxing has done a lot for the boys
In the navy, and I hope the sport
keeps up. There's, no gamer, better
bunch of boys In the world than Uncle
Sam's sailors, and I'm prouder of the
fact that I was the first real heavy
weight boxing champion of the navy
than if I'd been champion of the world."
War Tax on Ladies' Days?
Will women have to pay war tax In the future on ladies' day at the
baseball parks?
Judge McCredie does not know, but be Is fOtnf to find out before the
season opens. If the ladies have to pay, will they be fame enough to dig
up 5 cents, each courtesy day for Uncle Sam? There appears to be no
question but that they will.be (lad to do so,- but the Portland magnate is
going to ask for an official opinion on the subject
Employes of the ball club, , of coarse, do not have to pay. The' law
reads that the 10 per cent tax must be paid by every one passing through
the gates where admission Is charged. Of course, the ladies will be going
in where admission Is charged, but there Is no charge for ladies on these
particular days. The Judge reasons that if there was no admission to be
paid by anybody, the government would not collect Its tax. If such be
tne case, then why collect tax from the ladies who have been given the
courtesy of the park on well established days Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.
Fear not, fair ones, the Judge is going to make it as pleasant for you
as possible.
. Football coaches of Northwest Insti
tutions, which are members of the
Paclfle Coast Intercollegiate confer
ence will face a difficult taak In mould
ing their teams for next falL
The retention of the freshmen ruling
by the coast conference and the killing
of the ruling by the Northwest confer
ence has put the eoachea at
gardlng the elgiblllty rulings.
If Washington. Washington Stat.
Oregon or the Oregon Aggies play
freshmen In ' any Northwest conference
game next fall they will then be able
to play hut three years In the coast
conference.
Flay trader Ceatt Kallsgs
According to Dean A. R. Priest of
the University of Washington. Wash
ington will play all Its games under
the coast rulings. Priest says: "If
on school played a freshman only In
the Northwest conference, that
freshman would be eligible to only
two years of football, aa far as the
Coast conference Is concerned.'
It Is believed that the Pacific Coast
conference will stick to the freshman
ruling, unless a majority of the stu
dents now In col it are called to
colors. In this case. It is likely that
the ruling will be dropped for the good
of athletics.
Xay See Xestass Hers
Unless the athletic councils of the
Oregon Agrtoultural college and the
University of Montana decide to play
the football game they have scheduled
for October 19. 1918. on Multnomah
Field, Portland wll? get but one Inter
collegiate gridiron contest this fall.
and that is the annual clash between
the University of Oregon and the Ore
gon Agricultural college.
There la every reason to believe that
O. A. C will want to play the Montana
game In Portland, provided It Is not
cancelled altogether. To play the game
either In Corvallla or Missoula. Mont,
would result in a big loss of money
as neither of these towns Is large
enough to draw a crowd that will pay
expenses.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club may schedule games on Its field
with Oregon and O. A. C. but until
a new football manager Is appointed.
nothing definite will be known regard'
tng the "Winged M" schedule for next
fall.
Games Depcae es Stasford
The University of Washington and
the University of California may play
two games during the 1918
Berkeley students look upon the gams
with Washington as the big game, and
the athletic council of the Univer
sity of California Is laying plans to
schedule a gams with Washington
during the first portion of the season,
The only game scheduled between
the two Institutions Is to be played on
University field In Seattle next
Thanksgiving day. Should Stanford
decide to take up American football. It
Is likely that the plan of playing
two games with Washington will be
dropped.

Always Up la Air
Under the Britton regime the fans of
St. Louis never knew what to expect.
Instead of engineering deals which
strengthened the club, the former own
ers were inclined to secure their profits
through deals which sent their beat
talent to other National league clubs,
snd the bugs wouldn't stand for it.
Much the same conditions existed at
Cincinnati, where the policy has under
gone decided changes since Christy
M a the w son became manager. The Reds
have probably sent.more good players to

any other major league organisation,

Young Blood Comes
Into Own in Majors
Toung blood Is coming into Its own
with the bat In the National league.
The season of 1117 saw four young
players rise to prominence In the aver
ages, and two of this trio were the lead
ers of their league.
Eddie Reuah, the sensational vounar
outfielder of the Cincinnati Reds, dis
placed Hal Chase, the 1818 champion,
leading hla league with a final averaa-e
of K1, Close upon Roush's heels came
Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals with
an average of JJ7. The third newcomer
among the first 18 hitters was Benny
R-auir. Walton cruise, another St.
Loulsan, ranked last In the first 10.
If all these players continue In the
game next season there Is every Indica
tion that the race for the batting cham
pionship of the mother league will be
the hottest In its history, for with some
of the old-timers bound to figure and
the four players mentioned at the crest
of their careers as batsmen, no single
batter should have a walkaway.
Rowing Club to Open Its Doors
Thames Rowing club of Putney, Eng.,
offered their clubhouse and rowing
equipment to Harvard and Tale oarsmen
which brought thankful responses from
the two American universities, many of
whose crack oarsman are enrolled In the
government's service and may be able
te row from the famous Kngilsh club's
Quarters on the Thames, London.
The Dalles, Or., Dec Jt. With only one
letter man back on The Dalles high
school basketball team, the outlook for
the season Is not exceptionally bright.
The team, however, la being whipped
Into shape by Coach Oronewald, and an
extensive schedule bas been made out.
Including Hood River, White Salmon,
Stevenson and Goldendala. Gavin, the
only letter man. will probably play the
pivot poaitlon, but the line baa not yet
been officially announced.
The girls havs an unusually strong
team, and are being coached by Miss
Vera Moffltt of the University of Ore
gon, who Is giving every evidence of
turning out a winning team. A sched
ule Including the same towns aa the
boys' schedule has been made out for
the girls, but the Une-up will not be
announced for some time.
The National league, as a league, lacks
class on the bases.
Max Carey, who led his league In 1818
with II stolen cushions, waa the leader
again this year, but be swiped but 48
bases. Burns and Kauf of the Otants.
who ranked close to Carey last year,
were up there again In It 17. but the Na
tional developed no new cracks on the
baga.
Yet the National league has some of
the speediest players In the game. Eddie
Rouah. of the Reds, once tied the world's
record In getting to first base on a bunt,
and at circling the bags Eddie Is a
whlss. Kauff and Burns are both
speedy runners, and there are many
others.
Then why the lack of big base stealers
In the National?
The question was put to an old-time
baseball man recently, and his answer
conformed with the writer's belief that
the prevalence of the hit-and-run game
in the old league la responsible for keep
ing the base runners from piling up
enviable records.
