Scholastic Games r Billed This Wefek Difference in Class of Games Little Says Ping Ping Bodle, tbe desperate fence de Urojer, has it all figured out. Says net "The principal difference between the game of baseball In the big leagnes and down in the sticks Is as follows: "In the minors the pitchers are al ways trying to keep yon from hitting the pill. In the big leagnes the hurl srs are always making you hit It. That's all there is to it." EVERS IS THROUGH AS PLAYER Famous Second Baseman Is About , Done For as Far as Playing Ability Is Concerned.

The ' trade which sent Dave Shean. second baseman, to the Boston Red Sox. and George Foster, . pitcher, to the Reds, means Just one thing of any import ance. It means, bevond miPsHon that John Evers, former great second base man, ha reached the end of the traiL He Is through as a playing second base man. This is borne out bv his crtiittinsr the Red Sox. There are several reasons for this conclusion. The best nrobablv Is that Evers, himself, declared last winter when he was trying to dispose of his services that he didn't know whether he would be able to play next sum mer. The admission meant that he re alised he was approaching the end, but wanted to take one more fling at it Barrow Fortifying Shean's acquisition means that Ed Barrow has discovered the weakness of the once mighty Trojan and is fortify ing ninigeir ror the emergencies that are certain to come out if Evers takes hts place as the club's second baseman. bhean was one of the poorest second basemen last year in the National league. Judged from fielding and bat ting skilL Barrow certainly couldn't want for the additional strength the club could gain. He needed someone to help Evers. That's the crux of the situation. Consequently he signed enean. . As a matter of fact Shean had been waived out of the National league when ine traae that sent him to Boston was pulled off. Barrow needed a second Backer and had an unruly Ditcher on nis nanas. He offered to swap the ob streperous one for the second sacker and Mathewson snapped him up, hoping to reach terms with Foster. Would Help Reds In case Foster should consent to port to the Reds there isn't a question but that the Cincinnati stock, now at a high level, would be even better. Foster Is a great pitcher, smart and with plenty of "stuff." He would supply void m the Cincinnati makeup. Evers' main value to the Red Sox after the Boston team had signed him to a contract, will consist of his coach ing ability. His playing will be done largely on the teaching lines this year, but he will continue to draw a huge salary f or his efforts, even though they do not amount to as much as in years gone by. . Hendricks Wants Evers Jack Hendricks was quite eager to get Evers for the Cardinals, hoping that the veteran would be able to play part of the time and would be a valuable ad dition to the Cardinals because of his ability to teach youngsters. Hendricks' infield lacks a real high-class second baseman, livers migh have been able to develop one for him. However, Hendricks need weep very littleecause he failed to land Evers, for the Barrow acquisition of Shean is the tip-off on the condition of John. Pat Mo ran New York. Aprtt 20. (I. N. S.) In spite of the fact that the Phillies have been hard hit in the loss of play ing talent, rival managers are bound to respect them. The answer is Pat Moran, who built himself a niche in the 'hall of fame when he took a team of cast offs and. misfits in Philadelphia and piloted it to to cham pionship in 1915. Moran is viade out of the kind of stuff. lhat counts, and he is not the sort who lets big disappointments sweep aside his determination to win pennants. When President Baker sold Grover Alexander and Bill Kllllfer to the Cubs last winter, Philadelphia fans said good by to Philly pennant hopes. Not so with Moran. Ail Around Leader "The club owners have a right to do what they want to do with players," said Patrick, "and, though the loss of our star battery is not going to help a lot. we li oe in tnese giving era an a Dattie for the pennant." This is the spirit which has enabled Moran to win success as a manager, and it will keep him up there among the ranking managers of the big show. Moran is a capable, all-around baseball man. He isn't talkative and he is not the kind who makes himself conspicuous on the coaching lines. But he applies his baseball knowledge in a way that makes Itself felt, and he ranks as one of the most capable managers who have grad- W TNXVERSITY OF OREGON, Kugene. . J April 20. Track prospects at Oregon are nightly assuming some little degree of hopfulness at least there is a ray of sunshine where a week ago only dark clouds hovered over the Klncald speed way, "Moose" Muirhead. famous all-around athlete, who wore the lemon-yellow dur ins: 1915 and 191. is aiding materially in whipping the men Into shape and is keeping interest in, track and field ath letics alive. Muirhead is out every eve- nlnar with the varsity and freshmen as nlrants. -and will remain with th squad as coach until BUI Hayward is able to return, which .will no doubt be about the first week In May.. Absence Hsrtt Chances Coach Hayward's absence during the all-important pre-season conditioning and the utter lack of letter men and material of any degree of proficiency are factors that will be well nigh im possible for the lemon-yellow to over come before the dual meets with O. A. C, and Washington. One reassuring thing was developed in the last week that has gladdened the hearts of the varsity supporters. Bill. Hayward's plea for men and more men has been answered. Thirty varsity as pirants, some of whom are coming out through sheer loyalty, are sprinting and tossing the weights. In another week Coach Hayward's call for "three men for every event" will have been an swered. Have Some Sprinters Oregon is fairly well fixed in the sprints, with Hank Foster, Dow Wilson and Lloyd Still all sophomores on hand for honors.- Foster will make rival century and 220 men step to show him their heels. He showed a world of speed last year and ought to duplicate it this year. He is, likewise, good for over 20 feet in the broad Jump. Wilson ran a close second to Foster last year and may make him step this year in the race to the tape. Wilson is also being used In the high and low hurdles as well as the high Jump. Hayward and Muirhead plan on specializing him in the high Jump and pole vault. Strong la tflstance Jack Montague, a Portland senior, may develop into a first or second place man in the middle distance runs. Mon tague has been coming fast every year and should hold his own this spring. Ivan Warner, who lias been on the sick bed with pneumonia, is also looked to be of strength in the middle distances. He will not be out until he regains his strength, which will be a week or more.

The army officials wanted to re turn him to Canada, but Waite wanted tq stick it out, and after placing him under an X;ray for three times it was decided to operate on him.

Owing to scarcity of leather, the covers were made of heavy canvas which had been glveh chemical treatment.' A new ring sensation hss been found In the east In the person of a newsboy fighter who recently moved out of the featherweight division to the lightweight list. His name is Lew Tendler and he is generally spoken of In the Kaat "as one man win some day give, Benny Leonard a scrap. Johnny Tillman, the Minneapolis wel terweight. Is particularly stuck on this new boy. "Lew Tendler is ne of the real sen sations and you are going to bear a lot about him before many more months." said Tillman. "He Is clever and a hsod hitter, and from what -1 have seen of him he appears to have everything that will eventually make hi ma leader In his division." Tendler started out while a newsboy as a performer among the 122-pounders. Then he grew heavier and now weighs somewhere around 129 to 110 pounds. He is a freak in that he stands with his right side advanced to the foe. This Is on the order of "Knockout" Brown. It makes htm a tough man to get at In the regulation manner. As for his wallop, let It be said that his four last fights were clean-cut knock outs, the vic tims being Johnny Russo, Frankle Nel son. Tommy Ticker and Pete Hartley. He has a terrific kick in his left and uses it straight to the body. It is his clean-up punch.

Yet there isn't a bit of con ceit in the makeup of the brilliant haired racer from the west. He simply believes he is the best without any fuss or show and he has the dope right. The surprise occasioned by Ray's easv defeat of Eddie Fall in the A. A. U. meet came from persons who had over looked previous performances of Ray when pressed by a rival. His best run ning always has cropped out when pressed his hardest. There isn't a shadow of doubt in the minds of those who saw the running tilt between these two stars that Ray would have passed the tape in record time by all watches bad Fall or Mike Devaney been able to challenge him with any real speed. Had Not Winded Him The fact was. however, that Ray sim ply breesed ahead when the notion struck him. He came into the last fur long of his stunt going like a sprinter and he snapped the tape a full 25 yards in advance of Devaney. Up to the final quarter he had lagged In third place.
