McCredie Has Jinx Down K t K Auto Trip Starts a Shebang Walter Hennery McCredie, new , manager of the Salt Lake club, is lucky to be back in Portland with his life, let alone a new suit of das sling blue tint and the latest in scarfs. This trip away from Portland has been rather a Jonah for Walt. First, along with the judge, he was kicked out of the Pacific Coast league, and then began a suacesston of events that finally landed him safe of body and reasonably sound of mind in Portland. He will leave shortly for Salt Lake and believes that he has given the jinx the slip. -It all started in Los Angeles. J. C. Furness, who runs the Continental hotels in San Francisco and Los Angeles, .at which the Portland ball club stopped, invited Mack to make an auto trip with him from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Sure Mack would until he saw two of the fellows who were to make up tke party of four. Slipping Lightly Away Hunting up Furness, McCredie, who doesn't admit that he is super stitious, said : "Now listen - here, Furn, I'm not a bit strong on this superstition bunk, but did you no tice those two fellows you invited to go along are cross-eyed? I don't want to break up the party, but I think you better get somebody else. I don't - mind being out with one cock-eyed guy, but when you got a pair of them with lamps looking for trouble, then you better count me out." ' Furness, who Is the most sus picious fellow in San Francisco, when the Jinx goes a-roamln, trem bled sljghtly and remarked : Yankee Manager in Conference New -'Fork, Jan. 3. (I. N. S.) Miller Huggins. manager of the Yankees, was expected to arrive here today to confer with President Jacob Ruppert regarding piSt his recent dickerlngs for Derrill of the St Louis Browns.

"What can I do, Mac? They're both good friends of mine and they're banking on this trip. Well. I'll tempt fate just this once, and if" I ever get over the Tehachapi alive, I'll give the next list of guests the 00." . What BYe Think o' This! When Mac saw Furness a week later in San Francisco, the hotel man exclaimed : "Can you beat it? Here I am fighting the jinx and thinking I'm getting by nicely, when all of a sudden my new Stutz and a big oil tank conclude to mix on a mountain road. Well, you know who finished second. .It cost me a good $700 to get my car fixed, and all because I was courteous to a span of bum lamps." Well, that same week when Mac was complimenting himself on -passing up the goggle-eyed special, he crossed Market street and got him self all messed up by an automo bile and, as Ring Lardner said, he mentioned the name of the vehicle r(ght out loud. Had It been any other kind of a machine Mac might not be managing the Salt Lake Bees. Then on the way home, McCre die and two other late-to-bed per sons were sitting on the observa tion car when & freight train sneaked up and swatted the rear coach an awful wallop on the cou pling pin. If the freight "bullglne" had had 20 cars behind it instead of only six, says Mac it would have gone right on through and shaken hands with the passenger locomo tive. Anyhow, Mac Is here and glad to get baclo, if only for a few days. Ritckie Is Galled Army Job No B ar I Willie Ritchie, former champion, 1 nhnw nnsitinn n hminn Inclnm tor does not make him exempt. San Francisco, Jan. 8. (I. N. S.) The name of Gerhardt A. Stef fen was placed in class one, the first to be called to the front, by the draft board here today and If that does not interest you per haps the fact that Gerhardt A. Steffen Is none other than Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion of the world, will. Ritchie thought the fact tnat he was boxing instructor at Camp Lewis, near Taeoma, made him a government employe, and he so stated In his ques tionnaire. The board disagreed with him. Heat Played Havoc With Lewis Eleven " Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 3. (TJ. P.) ! Camp Lewis' Ninety-first footballers left here last night for home. They call It that now, and they're gloomy because they are not bringing home the bacon. But as Willie Ritchie, former light- 1 weight champion, and the Nlnety-firsts's strongest booster at the game, remarked. "somebody had to lose." However, the boys all would like another crack at the 1 Marines. Not as an- alibi, they say, but I as a fact, the beat played havoc with their "pep" and they figured .for more speed In cooler weather. All the crip ples-got Away with the team. The team will not disband. Stokes Sells Part Of Patchen Wilkes Lexington, Ky., Jan. 8. (L N. S.)
