Beaver Youngsters Are to Be Released Milwaukie Boxing Card Is Now Completed
BOSS MAC
PREPARES
THE A-X-E
Five Youngsters and Maybe More
to Be Dropped From Beaver
Rosters, Baseball Gossip.
IHTANAGER Walt McCredie of the
Portland Beavers ia preparing1 to
'wing: the official' axe on the heads of
'a number of young; tossers aliened by
Jwfee William Wallace McCredie.
Those slated to draw the blue slips
at the present time are:
Ernie Frye, pitcher. Grants Pass.
William Leehler, pitcher; Winnipeg.
Harry Morrison, pitcher. Moose Jaw.
Carl Tuma, infielder. Portland.
-- A. Frye, shortstop. Grants Pass.
There are several others on the doubt
ful Hat, amongr them being H. J. Cun
ningham, the ' southpaw hurler, recom
mended and signed by Doc Wells, the
former Portland trainer, and Carl John
son, the local pitcher.
Cuyler apd Barnaby, two California
youngsters, who live near Los Angeles,
will be asked to report, as will Hal
comb, the soldier-third baseman, and
Smith, a highly touted Infielder recom
mended by Martlnke, the former Beaver
outfielder.
"I plan to take 25 players into the
training camp," said McCredie, "and as
I will have but one month to whip the
players into shape I cannot look over
a big squad of youngsters and give
them the attention they will need. I
will take a chance and drop most of
ithem before the opening of the training
.season."
WARES FLIRTING WITH TROUBLE
Clyde Wared; manager of the Seattle
team. Is going to have considerable
.trouble lining up his ball club. He has
three high salaried players on his roster
Harry Wolter, Ed Spencer and Sammy
Bonne who were cut adrift by other
Coast league clubs, and It is likely that
lomi trouble will be experienced in
signing them to contracts. Al Demaree,
the veteran National leaguer, may also
balk at terms that will be offered him,
' as most major leaguers do when they
are snumea to tne minors.

McCredie a visit Monday afternoon.
Bennett, unless he can grab a man
agership of some team .In the P. L
league, Is out of baseball.
He cannot see the logic In having As
toria Included in the P. I. circuit. He
thinks that either Portland or Van
couver, Wash., would be better than
Astoria. Victoria, B. C, la also rec
ommended by Pug.
"There is quite a bit of enthusiasm in
the new league," declared Bennett. "At

Vancouver, B. C, Spokane, Yakima, Ta

TVTEW YORK, Feb. 17. (I. N.
Charles D. Cochran, the London pro
moter, has Georges Carpentier up until
February 15, 1921, and the European
heavyweight champion will be unable
to meet Jack Dempsey, either in Europe
or the United States, prior to that date
without Cochran's sanction, today de
clared William A. Brady, who represents
Cochran in this country. Brady's an
nouncement was prompted by the claim
made by William Fox to the effect that
Carpentier has agreed to sign with him
to meet Dempsey here.
EXPIEES IS 121
"I have In my possession the contract
between Carpentier and Mr. Cochran,'
said Brady today, "and any promoter
who doubts it may have a look at the j
Bame. Tne contract is absolutely bind-.
ing. It would be upheld in any court In
France, England or America. What's
more, it does not expire until February
15, 1921, unless by the consent or ar
rangement with Mr. Cochfan. As for
Dempsey I have represented Mr. Coch
ran in all his dealings with Kearns, and
I am in receipt of a telegram from
Kearns stating that he will see me at
the earliest possible moment and dis
cuss the proposition of Dempsey sign
ing with Cochran.
HAS DEPOSITS UP
Cochran has already deposited $25,000
in London as stipulated by his contract
with Carpentier. The articles call for
the posting of another large sum . in
June, and still another next December,
providing that Cochran does not sign
Dempsey In the meanwhile.
"The contract reads that as long as
Cochran makes deposits of money as
stipulated, the contract shall continue In
force. Before leaving for London, Coch
ran said that he will post another large
sum in June, provided he is able to sign
Dempsey before that time."
Wrestlers Ready
For Annual Meet
Leon Fabre, physical directbr for
Washington high and Franklin high,
has named the wrestlers who will rep
resent the two institutions in the dual
meet scheduled for Wednesday after
noon in the Franklin high gymnasium.
Six weights have been placed on the
program from 108 pounds to 175 pounds,
and Judging from the interest being
shown in the affair a record-breaker
attendance will be on hand. N'o ad
mission will be charged to witness the
struggles and It is the first time since
before the war that a meet has been
held between schools of the Portland
Interscholastic league. Owen T. Carr
of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club will be the referee. The program
follows :
108 pounds Llewellyn, Washington.
versus Currie, Franklin.
115 pounds Mathews, Washington,
versus Selfrede, Franklin ; Leonard,
Washington, versus Atwood, Franklin ;
Benson, Washington, versus Robinson,
Franklin.
125 pounds Pay, Washington, veraus
Gillard, Franklin ; McClanahan. Wash

Washington, versus Reed, Franklin.
158 pounds Spitulsky, Washington,
versus Poulsori, Franklin ; Myers, Wash
ington, versus Prior, Franklin.
175 pounds Wilkins, Washington,
versus York, Franklin.
T ITTLE fellows will be featured in
the Milwaukie boxing smoker next
week, according to the complete card
announced Monday by Frank Kendall
matchmaker of the commission.
The card is :
Tommy Barone, St. Paul, vs. Earl
Balrd, Seattle, 130 pounds, 10 rounds.
Heinle Schumann, Tacoma. vs. Jimmy
Marshall, San Francisco, 137 pounds.
10 rounds.
Scotty Williams. Chicago, vs. Marty
Foley, Tacoma, 150 pounds, six rounds.
Weldon Wing, Portland, vs. Johnny
Fontana, Texas. 130 pounds, six rounds,
Frankle Webb. Portland, vs. George
Burns. Portland, 125 pounds, four
rounds.
FOLEY HABD HITTER
With the exception of the Wllllams-
Foley bout, all contestants are in the
lightweight or under divisions. Wil
Hams is the highly touted colored bat
tler who fought a draw with Billy
Wright of Seattle in the opening amok
er at Milwaukie. Williams was matched
with Ortega, but on account of his poor
showing with Wright the match was
canceled. He has been training hard
since his last contest and promises to
give the fans his best at this time. Fo
ley is a hard hitting battler and will
probably make Williams extend him
self.
Schumann recently gave Eddie Shan
non a nice trimming at Tacoma, but a
poor decision robbed htm of the ver
diet. Schumann is being handled by
Eddie Marino.
STARRED IN TEXAS
Fontana, who meets Wing, is a new
comer in these parts. He is credited
with winning from everybody at his
weight in Texas, where he served in
the United States army.
While this card does not appear as
classy as others staged at Milwaukie,
Manager George Moore Is confident that
the fistic lovers will be given a real
treat, as all boys have good reputa
tions as battlers.
New Chairman of

a candtdate , for the chairmanship
of the commission and the publish

The mistake of taking but six players
on the trip was made by the Spokane
Amateur Athletic club basketball team
and there is little doubt but it cot them
two hard games. Monday night the
Multnomah Guards defeated the stars
from the Double-Djamond club, 24 to
i, in tne wasnington Hign gymnasium.
While playing against the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club Saturday night,
one of the star guards. Tele Hupperton,
was injured to such a degree that he
had to be removed from the match, and
he had not recovered sufficiently when
the Spokane team was sent onto the
floor against the fast Multnomah Guards.
The only available substitute had not
been working regularly in practice, and
it threw the visitors off when it came
to team work and passing. As it was,
It may be doubtful whether or not the
Inland Kmplre delegation could have de
feated either the Winged 'M" boys or
the Guards, the way they have been
going of late. Manager Weatherford of

Does Your Motor
Need Overhauling?
Ijjffl
Skilled Workmanship
Necessary
Since the average motor car
has approximately 6000 parts,
the work of overhauling
should be done by experienced
specialists and not by partial
ly trained experimenters. All
our skilled mechanics meet
the highest tests. Further
more, we have installed the
most scientific labor saving
devices procurable. Many of
these are exclusive to our
shop. This enables us to
greatly reduce the time nec
essary to overhaul and repair
each car and at the same time
do the best repair work that
can be done anywhere.
Now is the time for overhauling.
Don't wait until the rush starts
and get tdrned away. We charge
nothing for looking over your car.
