By R. A. Cronin M ANAGER BILL FISHER has been completely crossed up by "Iron Man" Clow, the Laf ine lightning rod, and so have 4 a lot of other young men who follow baseball. Clow may not amount to three pitchi ling is concerned, and again he the shine ball. The LaPine youngster doesn t need any freakish stuff to get bv, judging from the display of push he has on the ball. InUhe writer's experience around baseball camps, which has been long enough to catalogue the various spring complaints of ball players, young and old, he is frank to state that he has never seen another like Clow. Irve Higgmbotham, in his palmiest days, never put in a harder week than the short arm youngster did in the Regular-Yannicran craines of last week. f r inner iranKiy Ramus mat ne was not muQh lmpresnPd by CJow. The LaPine boy emitted an odor of airebriiflh that could bs whiffed all over. Eastern Oregon. lie even wound up with men on bases and the Bteat 'were upmethinR: awful, but ha has been learning the points of baseball not yet observed strictly around LaPine. and If he ever amounts to anything will have him self to thank. Strength of Arm Remarkable Kisher has been short on pitchers In the camp of the .'California variety, who pitch during the winter and consequently are in shape to travel nine Innings in training camp. Clow had been working out a little, it is true, but weather would not admit of any consistent training before he reached Pendle ton. Therefore. It Is all the more remarkable the amount of Btrength he has In his right arm. The kid comes from a virgin coun . try'and the idiosyncrasies of young ballplayers who think they know It all- have not percolated in that ter ritory. It Is de rlguer for young pitchers to develop sore arms the first day out and then drive the manager nutty for he rest of the training season, while stalling out Of work in the practice games. There was none of that Ktuff in the La Pine lad. lie walked Into the box the first time he had a chance and he stuck there until Kisher chased him out. Work Them Till They Trop Usually it is the practice of man agers to single out some young ster without sign of promise and make him pitch to batters and it Is Invariably his portion to bear the burden of pitching In the squad games. Then they tie the tinware to him. This whs the case with Clow, but the squat youngster began Improving .so rapidly that Fisher vows he will keep three fingers on the lad. If any of (he youngsters are to be released It will not be Clow, according to Fisher's present frame of mind. Of course the games against the Portland shipbuilders' teams and the First Provisional Regiment at Vancouver barracks may put a new complexion on Clow's pltchinga, but we are willing to lay a good perfecto that the apple cheeked youth who crossed Fisher up and pitched himself into the man ager's eye in the training camp will he held for a, time, at least. Clow has the proper disposition for a pitcher; he isn't afraid of hard work and the easy delivery he uses puts no strain on his arm. After pitching some 43 Innings last week In practice games. Clow complains of no soreness or deadness and he had as much speed last Sunday as the previous Sabbath.

"Why that fellow named Morton Conkwright Arkenburg. I see he never wins a game." But all jokes aside. Fisher is won dering what's going to happen at the end of each three Innings. Mc Credie has been using Morton, Arkenburg and Conkwrfght as a trio, in each game one or the other starts. None has been able to last through a Coast league game singly, and Bill figures they may be all three search ing the old bench for him In any game one starts. Dick Cox says that McCredie became so daffy one after noon in San Francisco, that he sent Outfielder Smith and Cox himself out to warm up for duty against the Seals. It's Vp to McKInlry Bill McKinley's shoulder has a catch in it, which looks bad for the young spitballlst. Fisher cannot afford to have a trainer this year of lean "baseball prospects, and It looks as if McKinley will be on his way unless he gets the soreness out of his own account and hurries himself into condition. Hollorhers Are Different There is a heap of difference be tween Charley Hollocher and Broth er Milton Louie. The latter has a long way to go before he will be as good as Charley was when he first showed at Sacramento in 1916, and Charley at that time was not good enough to satisfy Walter McCredie. The judge seemingly overlooked the filial league, when Charley wrote him a letter pronouncing Milton a better prospect than the present Cub wonder at the same age. While Charley was a most lovable boy, Milton is inclined to be cat- tish. Charley's greatest dissipa tion was an icecream soda, while MHton tucks a huge rope in his face and puffs away harder than General Grant did. Milton may develop into a fair ballplayer with Spokane, but he'll never be the equal of Brother Charley if he playa the old : game a thousand years. Bockaroog Leave Pendleton The Portland ball club left Pen dleton on the noon train today for Portland, after spending nearly a month in the training camp, at the famous Round-Up city.

Among the -new faces on the ball club when they appear tomorrow, will be Jack Kibble, third baseman, and Hahey, inflelder from the Poly technic high school of Los Angeles, who had two years of experience In the Copper league In Arizona. Haney joined the club yesterday In Pendle ton and Kibble will join the bpys tomorrow in Portland. Opposition Is Increasing to Jess-Fred Tilt St. Paul, Minn April 24. (I. X. 8.) Whether Colonel J. C.

HISTORY OF MAKER OF MATCH Colonel Miller Has Interesting Career as Cow Puncher and Circus Owner. MEW YORK, April 24 (I. N. S.) "Who Is Colonel J. C. Miller?" de manded thousands of fight fans from coast to coast when the news was flashed across the country that Colonel Miller, a retired Oklahoma ranchman, had se cured big Jess Willard'a signature to articles to fight in defense of his heavy weight title July 4. Some knew Colonel Miller, but did not connect the circus man with the new fight promoter. He had retired from the business world altogether last fall and had been living- auietly at Mont gomery, Ala. "I guess It doesn't make much differ ence what kind of a show I run, does it?" he remarked recently when asked why he was behind the fight project. "I've been In the show business most of my life and I think I can manage this affair." Not Seeking Money "But." he continued, "I am not in terested in this fight to make money. I don't care whether 1 make- a dime. I want excitement." The new promoter who, unlike most men connected with the fighting game, is not after the money was born in Kentucky, fet a place known as Crab Orchard, in the foothills of the Cumber land mountains. Later, young Joe was given a common school education on a ranch in Indian Territory and then went to the Central University at Richmond, Ky. Shortly; after that his father gave the boy $25, V00 and told him to shift for himself. He went to San Antonio. Texas, where he Immediately began buying cattle and driving them over the trail into New Mexico to railroads tor shipment. In a few years young Miller and his "out fit" of cowpunchers became a fixture from the plains of Western Texas even down into the Old Dominion of Mexico to the border of California. Started Circus Business He became a man of big business, ' buying up land and building his own I railroads and developing them. His 101 Ranch, with its palatial residence and its thousands of head of stock, be came a beauty spot of tne Southwest. It was in 1906, when the National Ed itorial association was entertained on the ranch, that more than 100,000 peo ple saw the old-fashioned round-up and Colonel Miller decided to capitalize his show. From that time he became identified with the circus business, first with the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show and later with other circuses which have contributed largely large en rollment.

Field marshals q? JKe ! New York, April 24. (I. N. S.) Jack Hendricks is a baseball leader of the aggressive type. When he started out to manage ball clubs some 13 years ago his objective was a major league job, and he kept plugging un til he got it. The opening of Jack Hendricks the major league seasons marked Hendricks' debut into fast company, and his regime with the Cardinals will be watched with a great deal of interest. As a student of baseball and a judge of players Hendricks stands out promi nently. He has sent a number of stars to the major leagues, among them Hubert Leonard, of the Red Sox, and Tommy Griffith, of the Reds, and he has never been known to come out of the short end of the horn on' a player deal.

Slim Sallee started his first big con test, working through the nine innings. He was not in danger throughout the game although three hits in the sixth inning netted two runs for the Stal lings clan. The Giants at that time were leading and came back In thoir half of th- frame for three tallies. Zlmme- ri.n's triple In the sixth wai the feature of the game.

But, like Hugging he chose a baseball career, and while he was never a great player his success as a manager has been marked. He broke In as a pilot with the Spring field, Ohio, club in 1906 and has won five pennants in minor league company. His clubs have never finished worse than third, which Is an enviable record. His most notable record was made at Den ver, where he won three straight pen nants in 1911. "12 and '13. His latest triumph in the minors was the 1917 American Association Champions at In dianapolis. First Time in Majors Hendricks has passed the forty-year milestone, but he is the sort of a fel low who holds his age well. On the ball field he is quick-witted and aggres sive, and he mixes up his style of at tack in a way that generally keeps the opposition guessing. Doing the unex pected is Hendricks' long suit In a ball game. Though the new pilot of the Cardinals has found many obstacles in his path way to the major league berth, he over came them all with dogged persistence. He was mentioned time and again for major league jobs before he finally landed with the Cardinals, but until' last winter all he reaped was disappointment Elliott ended what should have been a fruitful inning by fanning.

Some high class boxers are quite likely to be out of some high class jobs before very long and they may be in the position of the man who did his work so well and fast that he simply worked himself right out of a job. i Those boxers who have been giving I their time to the army by serving as ' boxing instructors at the various army ! cantonments have developed some ex cellent boxers among their pupils. Xoth- tng could be more natural than that some of these pupils would be desig nated boxing instructors, and that they gradually will assume the full duties of the civilian instructor, serving at ths same time as enlisted men in Uncle Sam's forces. Paplls Better Than Teachers Boxing has become so popular in the army that the natural result is going to be a race of highly develoted fight ers when the war is over. Every man knows how to box. He has had the benefit of expert instruction, not only in how to hit and block, but in how to move his feet, how to take a punch and how to feint and smash away at the proper moment. Some of the boxers have developed their pupils to such an extent that the scholars have become almost, if not quite, as good men as those from whom they learned the game. Is Art of Self Defense This certainly is as it should be. Boxing is the art of self defense. Many battles will be decided on the results of hand-to-hand fighting that will be turned in favor of the men who know how to fight with their fists without slipping behind the foes' back to accomplish the work. And that's what they're learning in the canton ments. Whether civilian Instructors' or army men have charge of the Instruction, boxing will have contributed some thing to the United States army's effi ciency in teaching the men the ring game.
