Frank Navln of the Detroit Tigera has offered the Beavers Oeorge Harper, who played -with Detroit a couple, of . seasons ago, but aa Harper ia not a brainy fielder, it la not likely that Walt will consider him. 8PBA5GEB IS PRAISED Mae. believes that If he can land a good left handed hitter for hie outfield, bla worries will be over that Is. aa far as his outfield la concerned. Taggart of the Columbus club of the American association is the player h wants, but BUI Clymer la turning a deaf ear to Mao's offers. - Another boost for Ray Spranger, the lnfielder secured from the Regina club . of the Western Canada league was re ceived at the local headquarters Sat- urday, Eddie Herr, the former Salt Lake manager and now an Ivory hunt er for Detroit, putting in a big boost : for him. Spranger was given a tryout by the Bees last spring, but as there was a demand for experienced Infieldere In Bait Lake, Hepr was forced to release Epranger. Herr, stated that Spranger Is a good lnfielder. and will develop Into a good hitter. Pitcher Bell, who was signed for the Buckaroos a couple of season ago upon . the recommendation of Paddy Slglln, has written Judge McCredle for another . chance to break into caoat baseball. There is little likelihood of Bell, who Is a big, strapping right hander, break lng into the Beaver fold, according to the judge. ' Reduction of tbe Beaver squad will start within the, next 10 days. At the present time there are about 40 players r on the Beaver roster, and aa, bu it are to be taken south, the Judge and Walter will sharpen their pruning knife on the rookies. : : i Catcher Lapp Passes Away Philadelphia.

It is not likely that the Seattle T will bo In a position to pay the expenses of a full team, so the club may send Its best men to the meet. The boxing events were, to be divided between the Multnomah club and the Victoria Island Athletic association, but to date no agreement has been reached regarding the division of contests. These events were tentatively scheduled to be held In March.

McCarthy of the Coast league is slowly hut surely muster ing together enough umpires to "call 'em" this season. To date the following have been signed : McGraw. formerly of Virginia league. Anderson, ex-Western league umpire. Holmes, formerly in American associa tion, Jimmy Toman and Biljy Pfyle, who served in the league las year, have been aimed and Bill Guthrie is expected to attach his name to a contract soon. No contracts will be tendered Kd Finney, Red Held or Ralph Frary, according to reports. Perle Casey's status baa not been da cided by McCarthy. ' . Peoria First Sacker Purchased by Speas Billy Speas, manager of the Regina team of the Western Canada league, has purchased First Baseman Kelilber from the JoDlln team of the Westers league. KeUiier is a youngster who can hit the baU,' and la a pretty nifty fielder. Last year, in the Three-I league, ha hit ,322, alammlng out 150 hits. Including IS doubles, 10 triples ana live nomors. In 122 games. . sneas club, with the exception or a shortstop and a third baseman, is com tdata. M is hopeful of securing help from : Manager Walt McCredle of tha Beavers. ' . 5fe JUDGE M'CRITDTK IS EYEING NEW BALL LOT TOTILL the great influx of indus- trial plants in North, Portland force the Portland Baseball com pany to seek a new home for tho Beavers within the next two years? Stranger things have happened and Judge William Wallace McCredle has his eyes keyed on the situation. Calamity nearly overtook' the Beaver president a short time ago, when It was announced that a rail rose! spur would be laid across the outfield, but this plan was abandoned and the track was laid outside the park. The present lease on the Vaughn street grounds where many stars have shone and faded expires at the close of the 1921 season and whether a new lease can be secured Is a question. The judge fears that if too many factories locate around the park that the smoke will have a tendency to interfere with the stag ing of the contests. The smoke from one factory was bothersome at times last season. THREE SITES ITS VIEW - There are three sites available, ac cording to the judge. The first and mostfavored is located at Jefferson and Chapman. The only bad feature Is that the hills will cut off tho sun light in the latter part of the after noons and will have a tendency to cause dampness. The second site Is the Montgomery flats on Mississippi avenue. Whether grounds located ' there would be a disadvantage re mains to be seen. The third site Is tho East Twelfth and Davis grounds. The value of this property may make It Impossible to build a- field there. The proposed plan to have new grounds In South Portland was abandoned several years ago. The question is giving the Judge a lot of food for thought at that.- GIVE THE WESTERNER "' ALL CREDIT DUE THEM ANENT Western football players making good in big Eastern and Mid -Western gridiron circles. In compiling tbe list of Paelfla coast players, who had won honors in the East. Willie Heston, the great - halfback of the University of Mich igan team, was overlooked. Heston was a wonder and recently the writer came across an all-star aggregation of Middle Western players and heading the list , was "Wee" Willta.' Heston , hailed from Grants Pass, Or., which also produced (the one time star pitcher. Hub PernoIL'1 z In thta connection, a little yarn about Heston. It la told that ho al ways had a slick half dollar sewed In his football pants. He won tho piece of change with a pass and al ways kept it for a good luck, pleoa.

Schalk Signs With Sox Chicago, Feb. 7. (U. P.) Ray Schalk. White Sox' catcher, signed his 1920 con tract with Comlskey today. C-Offter V couver, Wash., from participating as an amateur, America will be minus one of lu greatest shotgun experts in this year's Olympiad at Antwerp. Troeh won the right to compete against the shooters of other nations in the Olympic games, but the hew -ruling of the A. A. A. A. may result 1n his suspension as an amateur, it is said. The extent of the association ruling. in so far as it affects Troeh, will be Inquired Into by local shooters next week when Stoney McLlnn, general manager of the association visits port- land. HAS GREAT RECORD It is said that Tne ruling was adopted because of petty jealousy in' the ranks of the eastern shooters, whom Troeh has baa ten in races for championship titles. The Vancouver shooter holds numer ous national titles, as well as records. A recapitulation of his record since 1912 reveals that Troeh shot at 29,700 registered targets in the past eight years and Aas shattered 28514 of them, giving him a grand percentage of .9600. The 1919 season was his best, bis per centage being .8762 on 6745 targets. Since he began shooting, Troeh has steadily Increased his average and has failed to better his previous year's rec ord but once and .that In 1916, when he dropped from .9634 to .S515: YEARLY PERCENTAGES It would bo a shame to have such a great shooter barred from the game.
