Freddie Anderson N. W. Product
Making Rise Like His Brother, Bud
By Bob
mKDDIE ANDER80N. who meeta
Joe Benjamin, Billy Gibson' light-'
weiKbt hope, tn the 10-round main event
at the Hetllg Wednesday nlht before
the Portland boxing commission, is
purely a Northwestern product.
He was born in Vancouver. Wash.,
where hl father before him was born,
and where both his parents still reside,
lie fought and won his first fight in
Med ford, Or., several years ago. He is
one of 11 children, seven of them being
boys.
NEARLY REACHED TOP
One other member of the family
the famous Bud achieved pugilistic re
nown. whn Freddie was a lanky youth
In his early teens. In fact, Bud came
e near being lightweight champion of
the world as any other man who ever
trove for that honor and missed it.
It was while Freddie was a comrade
of Bud's and while he was a frequenter
Of Bud's training camps, that Freddie
first took to boxing. As he grew older,
ne developed speed and cleverness, but
lacked punch and stamina. These he
set about to develop by constant punch
ing of a big bag that had been stuffed
with paper and that ultimately became
solid and possessed of the bounding
qualities of rubber.
STARTED LIKE WHIRLWIHD
Freddie did no professional fighting
Until Bud had quit the game, but when
he did start, he blazed forth as a ter
rific hitter and a lightning like worker.
His first fights of Importance took place
In Southern Texas and New Mexico. He
beat Frankle O'Brien, coast feather
weight champion, and next took on the
tough Bobbie Waugh, who also fell, a
Victim to his right cross.
; Freddie recalled that there was a
j Mexican. Bennle Cordova by name, --who
once had knocked Bud out in 19 rounds.
He wanted to wipe this defeat from the
family record and had himself matched
with Cordova. . He easily beat Cordova
In 10 rounds.
Tommy O'Toole waa going Mi best
then, and Freddie accepted a match with
him. He got the decision over O'Toole
In 16 rounds.
PUT CP (J RE AT FIGHT
Anderson won a few unimportant
fights after that, then hiked toward the
Northwest. Walter Knowlton, Port
land' fighting fireman, was his first op
ponent in Portland. He knocked
Knowlton out in the first round, and
Knowlton never had bejn kifocked out
before. He beat Billy Nelson in six
rounds, boxed an eight round draw
with Johnny Schauer and won handily
from Kid Ex posit o, who outweighed him
10 or 15 pounds, in 10 rounds. His 10
round draw fight with Peter Mltchte.
following the Exposlto scrap, will al
ways be remembered as one of the fierc
est encounters in a local ring. Freddie
is blind in one eye and fought the last
three rounds practically blind in the
other eye because of a cut suffered
over it from being butted by accident.
SOT X FAN HIMSELF
Anderson has one peculiarity he is
not a rabid fight fan unless he has a
fight on hand. He never attends the
smokers, no matter how important they
are, unless he is On the card or has
been asked to second a personal friend,
and he has aa little to say about the
fistic art when he Is out of the ring as
a man who knows nothing about It.
In selecting Anderson for the first test
of Joe Benjamin after the latter's me
teoric rise in the East. Matchmaker
Jack Orant has chosen a--boy who will
make the handsome Hebrew extend him
self, the full limit. Anderson hits dead
ly and accurately with either hand from
any distance or angle, seldom misses
when he lead and never takes a blow
without a counter. It is a case of North
west against Northwest when he and
Benjamin meet, for Benjamin is also a
Northwestern product
Allan Cup Winners May Go
Canada's Olympic hockey entry may
be the winner of the Allan cup, emblem
atic of the amateur championship of
Canada. A portion of the- receipts of
cup games may be pot aside to help de
fray expenses of sending the team to
Antwerp.
TITCHER GEORGE PENNING
TON, who Jumped the Beaver
traces last summer, is going to get
another chance to hurl his "spltter"
in the Pacific Coast league.
A deal for the transfer of the
"piano legged" twlrler to the Sacra-
) mento club has practically been
consummated by Judge McCredie
and William Rodgers, the Sacra
mento pilot.
Lan Howley, former Beaver catcher,
who la managing the Hartford club of
the Eastern league, sought Pennington,
but as yet has made the McCredles no
definite offer for the player.
WAITING ON TWEES
Pennington is a good pitcher and
should win a lot- of games, but Man
ager McCredie does not think he would
be of value to the Beavers because of
his unusual character.
There is little likollhood of the
BeaverB getting any more help from
the Detroit Tigers until Manager Jen.
nings has put his players through the
paces at Macon. Oa. The Tigers are
scheduled to open their camp this week
and by the time the Mackmen reach
Ontario it is likely that two. and pos
sibly three, men will be released to
Portland.
ELLISOJf 18 WANTED
McCredie Is very sweet on Inflelder
Ellison, but according to press reports
from the East the Minneapolis club 1
endeavoring' to secure Ellison's service?
Dyer is another Beaver possbiility.
Should McCredie get either of these
players he will use him at second base
and depend upon one of his young
shortstops to come through.
The outfield problem is expected to
be settled this week. Outfielder Walker
has the latest McCredie offer by this
time and he is expected to return it
signed during this week. The contract
stipulates that Walker will be allowed
to leave the team August 1.
DEALS ARE PENDING
Deals, which will send Outfielder
Farmer to one of the Southern league
clubs, are still pending. Nashville has
a good chance to land the player, as It
has made the Mackmen a good cash
offer. The deal for Pitcher Torkelson
of the New Orleans club is still pend
ing. Transportation will be forwarded to
the players under contract this week.
As soon as the signed contracts of the
holdouts are received they will be tele
graphed tickets to Ontario.

T ASEBALL. activities on the Pacific Coast start this week when all clubs,
except the Beavers, open their training camps at various points in Cali
fornia. Portland will start the spring grind at Ontario, Cal., March 10.
Indications are that this year's pennant chase will be a close one as all
clubs have added considerable strength and a majority of them re still
dickering for the services of other players.
The season will be officially opened , picked up some coast cast-offs a few

Oakland at Sacramento, Vernon at San
Francisco and Seattle at Los Angeles.
The season In Portland and Seattle will
open April 20, Los Angeles playing here
and San Francisco in Seattle.
TWO NEW LEADERS
Two former Coast players, both of
whom held down shortstop positions,
branch pui as managers this year,
Clyde Wares being bosa of the Seattle
club and Ernie Johnson stepping into
the shoes vacated by Eddie Herr.
Wares has assembled a bunch of for
mer major leaguers at Seattle and will
take a goodly number of recruits to
the Rainier camp at Hartford. On
paper, the Seattle team appears to be
a etrong aggregation, but weather good
team work can be developed remains to
be seen.
The Seattle leader has grabbed several
players who have played on the coast
and figures that he will be able to
round, out a good strong team. It will
be remembered that Walter McCredie
years back and copped the bunting.
The Vernon Tigers, champions of the
league, will go into the race this season
with practically the same line-up as they
had during the last year. Manager Es
sick is after a a third baseman to re
place Bobby Meusel, the hard hitting
third sacker. Essick expected "Red"
Smith, but this player has been turned
over to an American association club.
Klllefer of the Angels has a couple
of deals pending which will strengthen
his club. He plans on trading Pitcher
Brown and Pertlca to major league
clubs. Manager Rodgers of Sacramento
is trying to peddle one of his stars to
a major league club for a couple of
good Inflelders.
SCHEDULE READY SOON
The official schedule for the 1920 sea
son will be released during the middle
of March, according to word received
from San Francisco.
Practically all Coast club have ar
ranged for exhibition games with the
Chicago Nationals club which will train
at Pasadena.

TO START
Coach Huntington Will Issue
Baseball Call at Oregon This
Week; Williams to Assist.
Chicago, Feb. 28. (U. P.) A "na
tional commission" for minor leagues
was formed here today with the an
nouncement that Al Tearney, president
of the Western and Three-1 leagues,
had been elected to serve with the
chairman of the National commission
in settling all minor league difficulties.
Teamey's election marks the end of
his eight years' fight to recognition for
the minors.
Tearney and the president of the
National commission will decide all dis
putes arising between majors and
minors. However, if these two cannot
reach an agreement In any controversy
a third party, outside of baseball will
be called in as an arbitrator.
This Is the first time in the history
of baseball that the minors have had
a representative in "any baseball
court." Heretofore the National com
mission decided all disputes. The ar
rangement was finally agreed upon at
the parley in Chicago. It was sug
gested by Garry Herrmann of Cincin
nati to have a board of five men to
decide all baseball disputes, but Tear
ney's plan of a two man board prevailed.

OREGON TO ENTER
RUNNERS IN RELAY
CARNIVAL IN APRIL
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Feb. 28 The University of Oregon
will be represented at the relay race car
nival which Is being planned by Univer
sity of Washington athletic officials to
be held In Seattle April 24. according to
Bill Hayward, Oregon track coach.
Coach Hayward plans to nter a tm
In the mile and half mile events. The
four members of the mile rainy team will
each run 440 yards and the members of
a different team In the half mile event
will each run 220 yards. The mile relay
team of last year's varsity won the relay
event of the Northwest conference at
rullman tn S :28. the best time that was
mede on the coast last year. Tr.-o mem
bers of that team. Stanford Anderson
and Leith Abbott, are baca In college
this spring and are training now.
Coach Hayward is holding an inter
company track and field- meet on Kin
oald field, March 13, and tvtll then have

TTNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu- j
gene, Feb. 28. With the end of
the basketball season In sight and !
Old King Weather sending down
copious gobs of "baseball barometer" ;
candidates for this year's university
team are gathering nightly on the
cemetery ridge diamond to warm up
for early spring practice.
Shy Huntington, who will coach the
varsity again this yar, has not made an
official call for varsity candldateB yet
but will do so Immediately after the
close of the hoop season this week.
Sixteen conference games are scheduled.
KICK TO HELP TRAIN
8hortly after spring vacation, April 8,
Nick Williams and hi Moose Jaw,
Canada, clubmen will arrive In Eugene
to open their spring training camp. Dur
ing his stay he will not only offer stiff
competition for the university nine but
he" promises to give the team some ;
personal attention. This will give the j
varsity men the best opportunity they .
have ever had to get a good Btart. !
A catcher Is the gravest problem on j
Coach Huntington's mind at present. No .
man of varsity experience Is in sight and I
candidates are hiding. "Vlnce" Jacob- ;
btrger is being regarded as the most
favorable aspirant. "Vmce" caught on
the frosh team last year and with care
ful coaching ought to develop a fair
receiver.
NIPPONESE ON STAFF
Several of the aspirants for mound
positions have already donned their uni
forms and have been loosening up their
arms. Oregon ought to have the strong
est p'tching staff in years. Three left
handed slab artists of proven ability
and three right-handed heavers of prom
ise are on the waiting list. The left
handers are Carl Knudson, Arthur Berg
.and nick Shim. Knudson was formerly
the kingpin on the Lincoln hign scnooi
aggregation of Portland. He was regu
lar pitcher on the frosh team of 1917
but was kept from getting a chance at
the varsity by the war. "Art" Berg won
a reputation two years ago when his Of
ferings played a big part in the team's
success of that season. Shim is a diminu
tive Japanese lad who has the speed of
a French 78 and the control of a leaguer.
He pitched for the freshmen last year
and held the box for the varsity In one
non-conference game. Francis Jaeob
berger, Eddie Durno and Jacob Jacob
berger are among the 'right handed can
d '.dates. Jacobberger pitched on the
fresh team in 1918, but was kept from
the varsity list last year by poor grades.
