If t was Taggart of the Columbus club

likely to come to Portland because of
the high salary he is demanding. '
Hope of landing Pitcher Torkelson of
the New Orleans club has not been
abandoned as yet by McCredle. In case

the southland do not come up to the
Coast Jeague standard. Detroit will coma

BIG LEAGUE PENNANT PROSPECTS
By Jack Veiock
(International Nam Sports Editor)
Brooklyn Dodgers
TTOUR years ago Uncle Wilbert Rob
-L lnson surprised the baseball world
by winning the National league pennant
for Brooklyn. s
Much of the credit for the 1916 victory
of the Dodgers was given to "Robby,"
and 'Justly so. His long experience in
baseball had fitted the veteran catcher
to take the helm of a major league
club, and he backed it up with one of
the sunniest dispositions In balldom,
coupled with uncanny ability In han
dling men.
The dawning of the 1920 season finds
Uncle Wilbert hard at work with a big
squad of players at Jacksonville, Fla.,
aid with every Dodger eye looking
toward another championship.
HAVE GOOD PHOSPECT8
Robinson has a team of players, the
majority . of whom have worked to
gether .for several years. He gets as
much or - more team work out of his
men as any manager in the National
league, and after looking over the
Brooklyn roster and comparing it with
those of the teams that stack up as
likely contenders for the 1920 pennant.
It must be admitted that the Dodgers
have prospects.
Brooklyn finished at the head of the
second division last summer after get
ting away to a somewhat belated start
Cripples among the players and an often
changed infield combination constituted
Robinson's chief worries.
The present training season finds
Robby confronted with a problem that
is worrying a good many managers
this year that of lining up an infield.
True, the Dodgers have apparently lost
a good outfielder in Tommy Griffith,
who annonnced his permanent retire
ment some time ago. But Robby can
populate his outfield, and hla pitching
and catching talent stacks jup favorably
with that of his rivals.
JOHNSTON ON SECOND
As for the infield Ed . Konetchy
seems to be a fixture 'at first base.
The big fellow, "after Robby got him
from Boston-, showed evidence of new
life and played bang up ball in the
field. The fact that Robby has no first
basing recruits -indicates that Koney la
glued to the initial bag.
Jimmy Johnston played a majority
of Brooklyn's games at second base last
season, and he may be found covering
the keystone sack when the season
opens. But Robby may find it neces
nary to switch Johnston to the outfield,
for unless Griffith changes his mind
and returns to the' team the Dodgers
will need an experienced fielder and a
capable hitter to -complete tbe .garden
DEL BAKER, first string
catcher of the Portland
Beavers, who expects to
have a great season this year.

ager Red Killefer of the Los Angeles
team thinks he has a comer in "Chief
Scott, Indian recruit first aacker. The
Angels play a local nine tomorrow.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 6. (U. P.)
Sherrod Smith's return to the Brook
lyn fold leaves Jeff Pfeffer. the big
hurler, as the only missing nephew of
Uncle Wilbert Robinson's family.
Lake Charles, La.. March 6. (U. P.)
The Athletics' Grays and Whites are to
line up for their second set-to this aft
ernoon. The Mackmen were put
through two stiff practice drills yester
day. -
ing trio with Zach Wheat and Hi Myers.
f OLSON TO GET CHANCE
Ray Schmandt, who was injured last
season and got Into comparatively few
games, Is a young second baseman of
great promise. Both Manager, Robinson
and President Ebbeta are expecting great
things of him. Ivy Olson, who has
been having on and off years for some
time. Is going to ,be given every chance
to hold his place at shortstop, and
Chuck Ward looks safe enough as the
guardian of the hot corne Brooklyn
has two good infielders In addition to
these men. They are Pete Kilduff,
secured from the Cubs last summer, and
Douglas Balrd. Kilduff and Baird can
be used at third, short or second.
Robby's worries, therefore, have noth
ing to do with a lack of talent. But
how to line up this infield talent is
the question.
PITCHERS STRONG
The Robin pitchers Cadore, Grimes,
Mamaux, Marquard, Mlljus, Pfeffer,
Mitchell and Smith are mighty strong.
Aside from. Marquard they are young
fellows. Robby expects to see Al
Mamaux come Into his own again this
year, and he looks for great work on
the part of Mlljus. Cadore, Smith and
Peffer are also due to have good sea
sons, and the "Ole Rube" is still a
crafty and capable pitcher. The Brook
lyns have some youngsters, too. Joe
Conlan is a left bander from Chicago
semlproo ranks. George Mohart and
Paul Schrieber are recruit right handers,
both from semlpro ranks. MUjus, who
waa farmed to Toledo last -season, won
better than .600 per cent of his games.
J. W. Taylor, from Charlotte, S. C
and Paul Bayers, from Saskatoon,
Canada, are two recruit catchers who
will attempt to win meal tickets with
Brooklyn. They have a hard row to
hoe. The Dodgers are well . supplied
with backstopplng talent, figuring that
Otto Midler and Ernie Krueger. not to
mention -Rowdy Elliott, brought back
from the Coast league, are in camp at
Jacksonville. .
HITTING 18, GOOD
The Brooklyn penchant for hitting
will not be missing, either, unless the
Dodgers are TUt by a cyclone or the
plague. Myers ranked with the National
league leaders last year, hitting .107.
Koney was close behind with .298. and
Wheat was on Honey's trail with .297.
Griffith hit .281, Johnston .281. Kilduff
.276, nl 63 games, and Olson .Z78., Ward
and Baird were In the -2J0 class, but
both may develop better hitting, and
Schmandt Is said to have natural abll-itjv-
although injuries kept him - from
showing It last season.

fly at the basket. The ball went sailing
through the hoop and. Referee H. T.
Smith declared that the points counted
for Franklin, Inasmuch as the ball was
In the air when the whistle was blown.

LEE MAGEE
MAY FILE
LAW SUIT
Released Player Plans to Make
Fight to Remain in Major
League Baseball.
pw YORK, March . (X. N. S.)
11 Lee Magee of the Chicago Nation
als, dropped by that club, is about to
bring suit for damages against the Chi
cago club on the ground that he has
been blacklisted and deprived of earn
ing a livelihood In baseball. It was
learned here today.
Magee announced his Intention to
fight against being dropped from base
ball In a telegram to the New York Eve
ning Journal from Cincinnati. His mes
sage states .that the manager of thto Chi
cago club has not advised him that he
(Magee) is not wanted as a member of
the team this year; that neither Man
ager Mitchell nor arty one else has ac
cused him of improper betting on base
ball games or indifferent playing.
The player claims to have evidence in
his possession that the owners of the
major league teams have blacklisted him
without cause and avers that a suit will
soon be filed to 'test the right of the
Chicago club to exercise its option on
him in December ad release him a
month later. He says that his record
shows that he is entitled to remain In
the major leagues and that he will fight
to do so.
Magee played with Brooklyn and Chi
cago in the National league last season
and batted .270.
Would Welcome Suit
Chicago, March 6 (I. N. S.) "If I.e
Magee believes he has been materially
damaged through being released by the
Cubs we will welcome a suit In court.
If he so desires," declared President
William Xj. Veeck of the Chicago Na
tional league' team today, when shown
a statement from Magea that he had
evidence of a conspiracy to blacklist
him In the major leagues. "Magee
knows why the Cubs gave him his un
conditional release." President Veeck
continued, "and we have no reluctance
in going Into court and presenting our
case so the public may be Informed
as to the .reason- for our action. I do
not care to say anything about Magee
and his connection with baseball, but
if he wishes cobrt action,' let him pro
ceed. If Magee thinks he has been
unjustly treated he can lay his case
before the directors of the National
league as our constitution provides for
this and the Chicago National league
club will be bound by the determination
of the directors."

SHIPPING BOARD
STEAMERS DUE
F
Three steel shipping board steam
ers are on dock in New York harbor
awaiting; cargo for the Pacific coast
and probably will come to Portland
for reassignment to the Pacific trade,
according; to an announcement made
by C. D. 'Kennedy, local ; agent for
the division of operations of the
shipping board.
This announcement is taken by Ken.
nedy to be indicative of the fact that
the Atlantic coast shippers at last have
all the vessels they need and that ships
will now be sent to the Pacific to re
lieve the serious shortare existing here.
r Kennedy, however, thinks It more prob
able that these ships are intended for
the flour trade as there is a shortage of
tonnage to accommodate the flour move
ment to the Atlantic from Portland.
Pacific coast shipyards, whicl? had
been building on government account,
have practically completed their pro
grams and few new ships are becom
ing available here.
Since the message received by Ken
nedy explained, only that the ships are
being loaded for the Pacific, the entire
matter is one of conjecture at present
and it Is also probable that the condi
tion of the foreign exchange has led to
the decision to send tonnage from the
Atlantic to the Pacific for loading.
NEAR EAST RELIEF WORKERS
HAVE LUNCH ON BEARPORT
In the Interest of the Near East le
lief campaign, 125 Boy Scouts, mem
bers of the Oregon relief committee
and shipping men were entertained at
a luncheon and program aboard the
Armenian relief ship Bearport at 1
o'clock this afternoon. The entertain
ment was given by the Columbia-Pacific
Shipping company, operators of
the Bearport.
Captain William A. GaJlager. master
of the Bearport, was head of the re
ception committee on the ship, which
is loading flour at the Portland Flour
ing mills. Samuel Lam-aster, state
chairman of the relief committee, had
charge of the program. Motion pictures
of the Boy Scouts on board the ship
and loading operations were taken.
Neress Cartozian. the Armenian boy
who recently arrived from the Near
East, was also present. The vessel will
complete loading by Tuesday morning
and will probably sail fof Batum
Tuesday.
ALL ALONG THE WATERFRONT
The steamer Celilo was scheduled to
leave the local harbor at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon with passengers and
freight for San Francisco.
The steamer Rose City, with 100 pas
sengers and 1800 tons of general freight
