THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, . SATURDAY, ; MARCH " 20, 1920.. 10 II' Cunningham Refuses to Join Portland '. U7 M'CREDIE SEEKING TWIRLER By George Bert ONTARIO. Cal.. March 20. Portland wilt obtain a high CTade twlrler jfrotn the Detroit Ti&ers of the American ' league.- declared Manager Walter H. McCredie here today in announcing that Itjtcher Cunningham, who refuse to Join the Beavers, had been released to the Chattanooga club of the Southern . league. Cunningham's refusal to come to the 1 Pacific coast trai somewhat of a Jolt to the McCredie plans, but the tall Scot expects the new man the Tigers will - send West will be Just as good if not better than Cunningham. Mack would not commit -himself one way or the other when asked ir the hurler to be released to Portland would be John C. (Red) Oldham, who is train ing with the Tigers at Macon. Ga. Walt believes that the sorrel-topped heaver ulll fee a regular'on the Detroit mound during the 1920 campaign, and it may " be that "Slim" Love, a former Pacific Coast league star, will be the one to get transportation to become a Beaver, that is unless McCredie asks for'a right . ' hander; If a right-hand pitcher is sent to Portland It Is likely to be either Jonnard , of the Nashville club or Glazier, who ' made such a wonderful record In the Michigan-Ontario circuit last year. The Portland heavers who are almost sure bets to take regular turns this sea son are Carroll Jones, Frank Juney and Lefty Dick Durning. Durnlng, who is a slender southpaw, has been .taking things easy so far during the training camp activities, and he hasn't opened UP with any curves to speak of. Johnson. and Llbke are too Inexperienced to land berths this year, but a couple of years In the bushes Is liable to make real - heavers out of them, Johnson in par ticular. Jk!HFE GETTI5G CLOSE With the shadow of the priming knife hovering over camp, the boys are ex pected to put In their most strenuous licks during today's sessioits. Manager Mac has announced that the athletes - who desire to remain with the squad , during .the final training schedule will have to- put everything they have on - the ball during the dour.le header billed for tomorrow. The March field aviators are down for a game this afternoon here and they are coming primed to the guards. After the Beavers managed to hold the Chi cago National leaguers to a 15-inning 3 to 3 tie score, the aviators are more than ever anxious to trim the Ore gonlans. While no definite announce ment has been made as to which player ' will be the pitcher to start against the visitors, it is almost a cinch Suds Suth erland will be given a chance to show his wares, with Harold Poison being held In reserve. EYESIGHT OF GRAY MX6NNEL; IS FAST GROWING DIMMER Injury to Former Oregon Track Capta tain Occurred While Fighting Huns. BAKER, March 20. Two years ago Gray JcConncl. former captain and hajf roller of the University of 'Oregon track team, was studying to become a lawyer. Now be faces perpetual banish ment from his chosen realm because he sacrificed his vision that he might do "Jls bit toward helping his country crush ' the Huns. ' McConnel is visiting In Baker at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J H. Donald en route to Eugene from Austin, where he has been employed at a Baker White Pine Lumber company logging camp. At Eugene he hopes to gamer the few remaining college credits that will entitle him to a diploma. Then he, will turn his back forever upon books, for he is already nearly blind and faces the possibility of losing his sight entirely. McConnel says that it was at Limoges, France, while he and other Americans were receiving and overhauling British artillery. Suddenly his eyes, became in flamed, as did those of four of his companions. The five soldiers sought treatment, but McConnel says they were unable to gain relief for several weeks. After many physicians had failed to learn or remove the cause of the In flammation, McConnel was told by a specialist that the unnamed malady had . partially destroyed the retina of both eyes, and, although tho progress of the disease has been apparently arrested. lack of knowledge concerning the ail ment precludes a precise diagnosis. iciu!iiiei s vision, nowever, win never improve. The young man expects to visit in Portland, and after laavimr Eugene will go to Idaho, where he has been Offered a position. Steelier freats Olln Detroit. Mich.. March 20. (I. x.

Eugene, J March 20. Despite the fact that cold weather and rain have been a draw- hack to good practice. Coach Shy Hunt ington has been giving his varsity base ball prospects workouts on Cemetery Ridge field during the last-week. Indications point to the fact that com petition for positions on the varsity nine will beeen this year and as a re sult the lemon yellow nine ought to be the strongest it has been in several sea sons. Lettermen are available for prac tically every position but the catcher's Job. This will fee no weak spot in the varsity machine, however, as candidates for the receiving position have blossomed out like poppies on the summer morning during the past week of practice. The prospects are Vlnce" Jacobberger. who caught for the frosh last year : Bob Barl, who has had varsity experience ; "Bart" Laughlin, football man who handled the recelving.'job for the frosh team in 1917. and "Spike" Leslie, big tackle on this year's football team who played behind the bat on army teams during fhe past two seasons. l'LETT PITCHERS PRESENT Pitching prospects are plentiful. Art Lerg, letterman twirler on the 1918 var sity ; - Karl Knudsen an Jacob Jacob son, left and right handed heaverf of ability, on the 1917 frosh aggregation, and Walter Kennon, a rangy mounds man who was a member of the varsity staff in 1917. will be valuable men in the pitching department. Francis Jacob berger. frosh tosser in 1918,' who was Kept from the varsity last year be cause of low grades, will be in line for varsity honors this year as will Dick Shim, dlmunitive Japanese horsehide artist and Marc Latham, who were motindsmen for the frosh last year. Outlook for a "million dollar" tnfield is rosy, with Captain Herman Lind, two year letterman first baseman ; George Black, Roy Veatch, "Skeet" Manerud, Bill Collins, Carl Ljebe. Jay Fox and Johnny Houston, in line for varsity try- outs. Houston is a letterman third base man of last year's nine, and Jay Fox v. as a member of the . varsity squad In pre-belfum days. The other men had experience on the frosh team last year. Johnny Finneran of Ashland, banner third sacker on the frosh two years ago, Is expected to return to college In time to compete for a position on the team. row Wilson, letterman in football and track, who was forced to give up the latter sport this spring because of heart trouble, is going out for baseball this season. OT7TFIELD IX GOOD HASPS The outer garden looks good with three lettermen out for regular berths. They are Bill Steers, Johnny Gamble and Bill Relnhart, all of last year's team. Relnhart made his letter playing shortstop, but will be seen practicing in the outfield this season, according to locker room gossip. Lind. Reinhart, Steers and Knudsen are all dependable men with bat and will be a strong, nucleus Mpundl v.-htchsto form the batting list Reeves to Coach Pendleton Squad Pendleton, March i Orvilhj Reeves, years ago a track star at Pendleton high school and now vocational in structor here, has been named director of track athletics at the school. Reeves Is among the most popular instructors and Is expected to turn out a winner on the track.

No. 1 of the fly weight 10, can whisper a - few things in Georges Carpenter's ear. With flashes in mind of the bumps he hit before he got going good, the noted citizen of Pontypridd might say to the Frenchman before he takes his first step: "Go easy Georges. If you must fight even the bally setups, as they say here, tyke your time, old chappie." Into the ears of the newly wed French man, the same tune that the diminutive Wilde heard will be poured : "Here's something soft for a nice bunch of coin. Tou can polish him off in a couple of rounds without training Georges may fall for it and lake unto himself a couple of figurative black eyes such as gave little Jimmy such a dismal outlook on the United States. Wilde made his mistake In turning a deaf ear to the tips of American friends, who counseled him to take things easy and get acclimated before he pulled on the gloves. He didn't He had to stoop for the bag. of coin. Jack Sharkey outpointed him and from a $20,000 attraction he dropped to the $3000 class overnight . Then he had to .hit the tank line and fight to get back some of is prestige. The role of "trying to convince people that he had something was hard for the champion, fresh from the pinnacle of popularity In old England. The dice turned for him and he is satisfied in having convinced the Amer icans tha,t he Is what he is a champion. 1 BASEBALL NEW ( S.) 1 ORLEANS, March 20. (I. N.

BIG LEAGUE PENNANT PROSPECTS By Jack Veiock (latsr&atioaal Kewi Sports ZdiUr) 13 New York Giants JUST what the makeup of the New York Giants wilt, be when the 1920 National, league race get well under way is somewhat of a puszle. Manager John McGraw, who spent most of the winter In Cuba, figured out a number of -player deals to strengthen the New Tork club. But J awn's deals went floole. His brother managers couldn't see Jawn with a field glass In the matter oi lenaing mm assistance m building up a winner this year. And money oodles of it failed to snare such stars as Hornsby and Maranville. So the complexion of the Giants, the infield in particular, is a matter yet to be settled. As this article is written re ports from San Antonio quote McGraw to the effect 'that he has given up hope of making deals ; that the Giants will be moulded from the material at hand. At this time It appears that the Giant outfield will remain intact, that the pitching staff will be the same as that which carried the brunt of the work last season unless some of the young pitchers prove that they are ready for the big show, and that the catching staff will be made ' up of members of the team whose names are familiar to the fans. With four catchers Snyder, Gonzales. McCarty and Earl Smith the New York club has the strongest array of backstopping talent in .either league at the present time. However, one of this quartet of windpad artists may figure in a trade. George Burns, Benny Kauff and Ross Young make up the best outfield com bination in the National league for all round ability. Burns, the senior mem ber of the trio, is Just now at the top of his career. Kauff, likewise, is a thoroughly ' seasoned player. while Young is a star of real brilliance. The Giant , pitchers Toney, Nehf, Benton, Douglas. Barnes and Winters, who were the regulars at the close- of last season are considered Just about the strongest staff in the league by McGraw. In addition to these hurlers the Giant manager has a crop of young sters. Johnny Garton, a right-hander from Tulsa, Okla. ; Clarence Stauffer. another right-hander from the semi-pro ranks in Pennsylvania; "Rosy Bill" Ryan, from Holy Cross, and Reynolds Kelly, also a right-hander and a brother of First Baseman George Kelly, are the likeliest looking rookies in the Giant squad. McGraw isn't worrying about his pitching staff. He should worry about a staff that ranks with those of the Reds and Cubs as the best in the Na tional league. But the infield problem is a problem for sure. With the retirement of Hal Chase, who Is apparently through with the game for good, though no explanation BASKETBALL ALL hopes of getting in on the 1919-20 basketball championship of the Port land Interscholastic league were lost by the Benson Tech hoopers Friday after noon when they lost to Washington high contingent, 23 to 20, in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The Colonials finished the season with seven wins and one defeat, and the only way a tie can come about for the title Is to have Kranklin high win its final clash. The Quakers 'have six victories and one setback. "Pill" Irvine was Washington's high point getter in Thursday's setto, while Winnie Scott led the Mechanics. When the first half ended Benson was leading. 13 to 7, but the pace was too strong for them, although during the latter stages of the contest Coach Billy Bryan's ath letes made a spurt and tied it 20 to 20.

Rocky Kansas, Buffalo's premier lightweight, easily defeated Babe Picato of San Francisco In a 10 round bout last nlgnt. S. Athletes of various rumors regarding the reason for his retirement has been made. Mc Graw has found himself forced to de pend on George Kelly to fill the bill at the initial corner. Kelly is a capable 1 and aggressive youngster ahd made such a favorable Impression as a first base man with the Rochester club that Mc Graw promptly grabbed him again after having sent him to Rochester in the deal that brought Catcher Earl Smith to New York. It is believed that Kelly will fill the bill, though filling Chase's shoes In any department of the game is a man's sised task. Second base may and may not be cared for by the veteran Larry Doyle. Larry has admittedly seen his best days. He is slower afoot by far than he used to be and his batting eye has dimmed considerably. Yet McGraw may have to fall back on him unless one of the Giant rookies comes through with a big surprise a thing that isn't being expected along Broadway. Artie, Fletcher will be seen playing the short field for the Giants, as of old. Fletcher is still a dependable player and appears to have several good seasons left in his system. Frank Krisch, the youngster from Fordham university who broke in with the Giants last season and played third base after Zimmerman was suspended. will fill the shoes of the Great Zim, un less McGraw engineers a deal for a third baseman, in which case Frisch may be moved to second base and Doyle used as a pinch hitter. Frisch Is fast afield and a speed merchant on the bags. He can hit from both sides of the plate, too, and New York fans look upon him as a player of great promise. Zim is through as a Giant That much is settled, apparently, for all time. Looking at the Giants through a long distance telescope and from an unbiased angle we see a picture of a horse with a decided brunette complexion. They are going to enter the 1920 campaign, from present indications, well fixed in pitch ing. catching and outfielding. But the vital cogs on the Infield may not work smoothly, and unless they do New York's chances of replacing the Reds as champions of the league are going to be almost as rosy-hued as the inside of your glove. It is the belief of the writer that the Giants will make a hard fight for a first division berth and that they have 'a chance of finishing as good as third.' They might do better should they take one of the spasms that helped the Boston-Braves to sweep down the home stretch in front of the field in 1914. But the come-from-behind fever seldom proves as invigorating as it did in the case of Stallings' team. The strength of the Giants will be pretty fairly tested in their exhibition series with the Boston Red Sox. Bill Still Has The Little Roadster Eugene, March 19. Bill Hayward and his Stutz car are once again In the lime light as the famous football trainer has been made defendant in a suit brought by a blacksmith for rebuilding the car last July. The blacksmith turned In a bill for $459.53 and the famous coach paid $200 and then quit paying, it is said. The blacksmith wants the $259.55 balance he claims due, and has filed a mechanic's lien on the car. All of which does not worry the famous "Bill." as he has been driving a $8000 roadster pre sented to him by the grateful alumni of the University of Oregon for his work with the school's athletic teams. Harvard may atac the final Olympic trial in July. Inside Dope g 5 ? ? 3 2. V K t i 2 z 5 s 3. I 8 11 Baker .... .' 27 S R K 9 S.11 1SK 11 .2S5 Chas. Rirnabe I P ! 19 I 8 L, t. None 5.11 1MB Uad ....

S- Prospects for the success of the American team in the Olympic games at Antwerp this year are brighter than ever before. Athletic enthusiasm In the United States Is greater and talent is more plentiful. Gustavus T. Kirby, president : of the American Olympic committee, made this statement today in discussing plans for the selection of the cream of America's amateur athletes who will make up the various units of the 1920 team. President Kirby is arranging an itin erary for a tour of some of the principal cities of th'e country for the purpose of conferring with local and sectional com mittees that are working with the Olym pic committee with a view to stimulat ing sport in general, as. well as making plans for tryouts that are to be held in various parts of the country. "We will do everything in our power to win the Olympic games for the sev enth.' straight time." said Kirby.
