Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON SUNDAY. JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY- MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1920. Future of the McCredies in Pacific Coast League Baseball Circles Is Undecided as Yet 4 Is McCredie Considering Brave Offer? Friendliness With Boston Nation al Owner May Mean " Major Berth for Portland Manager Bjr George Berts TT7ILL the McCredies dispose of the Portland baseball franchise this winter? What club will Walter McCredie manage during the '21 season? All Portland's fandom Is Inter ested In t i eie two questions, but there Is no answer to either at the present time. Walter McCre die is still unde cided about his future. Mac admit ted that he had received a handsome offer to take over the Seattle reins, but the fact that he was very close with James Grant, owner of the Bos ton Nationals, coupled with his statement that an invitation was ex tended to attend the National league meeting in New York next month, may mean that he may get a major league berth. ADMITS OTHER OFFEItS The Boston Nationals are without a leader at tbe present, George Stalling resigning shortly after Jne close of the 1920 season.: Fred Mitchell, former Cub manager, Is being mentioned for the po sition, but Mac's declaration that he had received other offers than the one from Seattle indicates that Grant may try to induce him to take charge of the Braves. It has been said that Walter McCredie will not manage the Beavers whether or not Judge McCredie retains the fran chise. If Judge McCredie does not sell It would, not be a great surprise if Billy ,. Rpeas was given the task of putting baseball on the map in Portland again. TINKER MAT BID Speaa is a wise baseball head and en joyed great success In his first man agerial effort, leading the Regina club to the championship in the first half of the Western Canada league season. It la known that there are several bidders for the Portland franchise, the latest to enter the field being Joe Tinker, who played shortstop for the Portland club in 1901 and later starred as a member of the Chicago Nationals. Tinker recently disposed of bis hold ings in the Columbus American associa tion club and according to Walt Mc Credie is anxious to break into the Coast league, Tinker is expected to arrive in Port land before: long to discuss the pur chase of the club with tbe McCredies. Tinker would undoubtedly make a pop ular owner. Inasmuch t as Clyde Wares baa not corresponded with the McCredies, It Is believed that he has been Unsuccessful in his efforts to secure backers to aid him In swinging the deal. James C. Mc Gill, former Indianapolis baseball mag nate, is said to be among those Interest ed with Wares. SILENT ABOUT PLATERS sThere is one thing certain in regard t& the Portland franchise, and that li that the McCredies will not let go of their interests for a song. American association ; franchises have sold for a bigger price than has been offered for tbe Portland club, despite the fact that tbe Coast holdings are said to be the more valuable from almost every point. Mac is silent about the players prom ised for the Portland club for next sea son. He stated that pne of the players expected from Boston is an outfielder, but declared that it is not Jim Thorpe, the sensational all-round athlete, who baa been with Boston for the past two aeesops. 'Thorpe would be a great drawing card on the coast," said Mac, "but I don't think that any of the Coast clubs would be able to meet his salary demands." t whether the Portland franchise re mains in the hands of tbe McCredies or -la sold, Portland will have a much bet ter balanced aggregation of tossers than during the 1920 season. TRANSFER fOP SALT LAJvE FRANCHISE WOULD END P.-L x If the proposed deal to transfer the Salt Lake team to Vancouver, B. C. Is consummated. . it will likely sound tbe death-knell of the Pacific International league. Vancouver was the backbone of the circuit last season and without the - support of the British Columbia me- , tro polls It is doubtful If tbe league would be self-supporting. Inasmuch as Spokane may be dropped on account of tbe heavy transportation expenses. The P.-1, circuit was composed of Spo kane, Seattle, Tacoma, Yakima, Victoria V and Vancouver last year. Seattle failed to support Its team on account of having a Coast league club and during a greater part of the season the Seattle team The transfer would also be the second , step toward making of what Is termed tbe Ideal circuit for the Pacific Coast ' league,- four clubs In the North and four In the South. The first step toward this end was taken two years ago when Seattle was again taken Into the Coast .; fold, v: r ,- . Should, the Sacramento club fall to make itself pay in 1921 it would not be surprising to see It transferred to tbe Northwest.

STARS WHO WILL nas ierormea ? jh t ' :y ; -''.si n T have a bad name, and I'm afraid it's going to keep me out of baseball now that my active days are over. Club owners are afraid of me. Managers jobs are open, but I'm considered a risk. I've learned a good lesson. If I ever get another chance I'll show 'em." MEEK AS A LAMB He got his chance last spring when Manager McGraW offered him a contract as coach and assistant manager of the Giants, and he showed 'em. Seeing the return of the "volcano" to the diamond, John Heydler, the National league chief, sent for him. In so many words he gvn him an ultimatum: "Keep your mouth shut and lay off my umpires." Amusement registered from the eyes from which a similar remark In tbe old days would have brought a glare of battle. The old caustic tongue framed meek words: "I won't give you any trouble," Johnny then made his debut in a Giant uniform. That very day one of the umpires was "off on balls and strikes." The Giants were bowling and the dugout lair of McGraw was emitting rumbles and grumbles. Johnny walked out between innings to take his place along the third base line. "Get on 'im, Johnny," a fan yelled from the stands. HAS SELF-CONTROL "Listen, I'm not saying a wcfrd from now on. Look at me and see a mommy," be answered. With a few pardonable exceptions, he didn't say a word all through the sea son. He handled tbe club frequently when McGraw was away and be dodged a fight with tbe umpires. ; New York fans couldn't believe It at first but they came to realise that the "crab" and tbe "battler'' had learned self-control. The club owners realised It also. Johnny s back In tbe game. Walla Walla Grid Eleven Will Play Salt Lake in 1921 Walla Walla, Wash., Nov. 20.

Princlnal Jones has accepted on the condition that tne xirat game be played at Salt Lake City, this being necessary because the agreement between the Walla Walla high school and Whitman college that the high school and colletrians nlav Thanksgiving day games hers on alter nate years. These two teams met for tbe first time in 1917, when Walla Walla smothered the Utah eleven VI to 7.

Other games scheduled for' this week. which will be closely watched by foot ball fans, are : Thursday University of Oregon va, University of Southern California, at Los Angeles. ThursdayWhitman college of Walla vs. Willamette at Balem.. Thursday Washington State college vs. University of Nebraska at Lincoln, Neb. Saturday Dartmouth Washington at Seattle. University of CLTJB TEAM STBJBKGTHE2TE9 Manager Harry Donnas started put ting his players In shape for the second g&ma of the season wltn tbe Aggies right after the defeat of ttt clubmen at the hands of tbe Gonzaga college ag gregation. Several players, some of whom wore the "Winged M" In seasons past, have turned out with the squad and a couple of new players. Including BlackwelL brother of Ira Blackwell, who formerly played at O. A. C. Blackwell will be stationed at center tn place of Mike DeCicco, who Injured his shoul der In the Gonzaga contest. DeCicco wfll probably be used in a guard or tackle position against the Beavers. In the early part of tbe ; season tbe dub battled tbe Aggies to a scoreless tie. The turkey day contest will start at o'clock on Multnomah field. Tickets for tbe game will be placed on sale at Spalding's Monday or Tuesday. OBEGOJT HAS BATTLE In meeting the strong Untversitv of Southern California team, five days after the. annual clash with the Oregon Ag gies, Coach "Shy" Huntington's Uni versity of Oregon eleven faces a hard game. The Trojans have a husky ag gregation this season, but should the Lemon-Yellow squad be kept intact for the game tbe contest should be a close and hard-fought one. A victory over Oregon practically means that Southern California will get post-season date with California to determine the Pacific Coast representa tives In the Pasadena classic. U. S. C has been victorious In every game it has played this season, defeat ing tbe Stanford eleven, which trimmed Oregon a month ago, COUGABS I3TYADK NEBRASKA Washington State college faces a hard game when it lines up against the Corn huskers , at Lincoln. Coach Welch's Cougars bit their stride last week against O. A. C, after Boy Hanley and Mike Moran were benched In favor of substitutes. Tbe Cougars have been defeated but once this season, losing to California by the one-sided score of 49 to 0. Lack of team work and dissension .among the players accounted for Washington's failure in tbe Bear game. jfuuman gamea more yaraage rrom scrimmage than did the Californlans, but fumbles at critical moments enabled California to score at least three of its touchdowns. DARTMOUTH IS STBOJTG Unless Dartmouth Is greatly overrated. Washington Is due for a drubbing la tbe big game at Seattle Saturday. Dart mouth in tbe last two weeks has. shown remarkable form, beating - the strong. Cornell team and trouncing Perm State.

Washington., By Earl R- Goodwin -TjOUR members of the champlon- ship Washington high school football team are given positions on the Portland Xnterscholastlo league 1920 All-Star eleven selected by The Journal. Franklin high and Colum bia university each have two repre sentatives. Jefferson high, Lincoln high and Benson Tech are also rep resented. ' Picking the backfleld was considerably easier than under ordinary circumstances and yet Bill Poulson, one of the best de fensive and all-around players In the circuit, was crowded Into the line. He has been playing halfback when Frank lin was on the offensive and center on the defense. Tbe combination worked wonders for Coach Campbell's proteges and for that reason the lanky Eastern Oregon youth is given preference as cen ter. ''Red" Savarian, captain of the Co lumbia university team, comes next. MT1HA5T IS STAB Roland McElhany of Washington high is the peer of the guards, while the other sentinel in this case Is awarded to Wil liam Jones of Jefferson high. McElhany played a consistent game throughout the eight games, but not until the Benson Tech did he show bis real strength. With another year's experience, Marcus Schneiderman of the High School of Commerce should develop into a star. The 230-pounder played his first year of lntersoholastic football this season and toward the end of the campaign began to find himself and use bis weight to &d v&n The late Dave Philbln was the heav iest youngster who ever played In the local league until Schneiderman put In his appearance. i HITCHCOCK BEST EXD The tackles are McCoy of Benson Tech and Haynes of Washington high. These two are in a class by themselves when it comes to defensive playing, although Cooper of Benson deserves mention as does VanOrden of Columbia and Bob Miller of James John. George "Dude" Hitchcock of Washing ton and "Big Joe" Doherty of Columbia are end selections. Hitchcock has only one weakness, and that is bis habit of "leading with bis right or left." He doesn't mean anything by it and bis fault of losing his temper for an instant mlcht be caused by the color of his hair. At any rate, be Is tbe most feared end tn tbe league.: He can grab peases, is a bard tackier and can block interfer ence with any of them, Dwyer's maini forte is his ability to complete aerial shoots started, but bis end bas not been run for any large gains and he always is fighting bard. With Hitchcock on one end and "Big Joe" on the other, it would be difficult for any high school half back to make much headway. OTHER WIJfG MEN GOOD . There are several other mighty good ends, among them being Wagner and Bauer of James John, Irvine of Wash ington, Adler of Lincoln, Kleling and Adams of Commerce, Jones of Franklim Barber of Benson, Brooks of Washing ton and Eddie .Dwyer of Columbia. "Chappie" King of Franklin has the call on the field general's position over Johnny Haak of Washington, Tony Dwyer of Columbia and Bobby Robin son of HID Military academy. King not only can run a team,! but he can run with the ball, drop kick, punt and every thing else equally as welL Bill Beck, Lincoln high's captain, ana Houston Stockton; Coach Madigan'S mainstay in the Columbia university backfleld, have no equals as halfbacks in this circuit. The two of them are the fastest among the nine schools. Beck is. the better as an open field runner, perhaps, but Stockton isn't more than an Inch behind him. Stockton can for ward pass with deadly aim and be is the class of the punters, with the pos sible exception of Johnny Haak. HTTBXBTTBT AT PULL No one has the call over Clifford "Bill" Hurlburt of Washington high fdr full back. Bill's 190 pounds makes him the most dangerous of line plungers. There have been few times that he has been stopped before reaching the scrimmage line, let alone being thrown for a loss. His ability as a footballer is such that he can play the same position on the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club elev en against such rivals as the University of Onegon and Oregon A&gies without having time taken out on his account The 1920 campaign of the Portland in tensely Las tic league closes next Tuesday, It bas been the most successful from tbe standpoint of attendance in the history of the circuit. There has been only one drawback, and that ts too many games. It requires 38 contests to dispose of tbe championship, which makes It necessary for one team to play three games in 10 days. f - France May Send Team penn has asked University of France to attend Its 1921 relay games with a squad of athlets or a couple of relay teams. -. t PACTS, Jfo. 569 Roads to Carry Loads , The constantly Increasing demands upon high-way con struction, owing to the im mensity of traffic, is a prob lem which is receiving tbe earnest attention of highway engineer a The increasing loads, the increase to the num ber of trucks, tbe speed of the - motor vehicle all combine to make the problem a difficult one; but 'tbe remedy Is found when roads are paved with WARRENITE BITULITHIC WABKW BROTHERS C03UPAJTT Troeh HadGreat Year atTraps High Man in Five State Shoots By Peter P. Caraey Ofeittos National Sport gyndfc&tel r THIS article It is my Intention to give you some facts and figures on the shooting done by Frank Troeh of Vancouver, Wash., this year, after perusal of which you will agree with us that he Is the worlfi's greatest amateur trapshot Troeh began the year by winning an event . called the "trapshootlng cham pionship of the world" at the Olympic Athletic club, San Francisco, and with O. F. Lynch of Palouse. Waslu, be won the two-man team championship, of the world In the same tournament. MADE LONGEST BUS Clubs get very familiar with titles. In trapshootlng tournaments. Champion ships are nothing in the lives of some of those who-promote shooting tourna ments. Troeh In this tournament had a run of about S2? straight. We doubt if a longer run baa been made this year by an amateur, but the tournament was not registered and the run will not count In the records, Troeh, however. If we have the figures correct, scored the longest amateur run of the year at registered targets 299 straight in the Canadian International tournament in winning the championship of Canada. Troeh won the Washington State championship, breaking 295 targets. In this same tournament Troeh Is credited with 48x50 at 25 pah- and 60 straight In another 25 pair, or In other words 98x100, one of tbe best performances In the history of trapshootlng at doubles targets. He broke 92 straight He won the high average at 16 yards targets with 894x400, and then broke 96x100 from 22 yards. He had an average of 98 per cent for all targets. HIGH I1T IOWA SHOOT In the California, Arizona, Missouri and Iowa state shoots he was the top scorer and if a non-resident could have won the championship Troeh would have added all these state titles to his list. He broke 897 out of 400 targets at 16 yacda in the California state shoot and wound up the work by breaking 9from 23 yards, a truly remarkable bit of shooting. ' He broke 488 out of 500 targets In the Arlxona state shoot. In cluding the handicap. In the Missouri State shoot Troeh made the longest run.

Among the experienced players on tbe aggregation are John Tuerck, Hazeltlne Schmeer, Elmo Madden, "Heinle" Koerber, Russell Patterson and. Claire Holdridge. There Is some promising material among the newer men, .and ac cording to those In charge Oregon's chances for a successful season are bright. The lineup 'which has been used' In most of the scrimmages the last week is as follows: Tuerck, center; Staten, in side right; Byexs, outside right; King and McPherson, Inside left; Brogan, outside left ; Holdridge, Madden, Capps, Ingle, Deirdorff and Wallace have all been trying out for half positions. Koerber and Patterson are playing the two full -back positions, and Hazeltlne Schmeer, a well known soccer player of three years' experience, is at goal.

William T. Tilden .II;- world's tennis champion, who Balled from Victoria, B. C, Wednesday with the American Davis cup team, is the prophet in this case. According to the peer of the .courts, Marshall Allen; University of Washing ton, singles champion and one of the nresent leading players In the North west is due to become one of the fore most performers in the country. Last summer during the national champion ships in the East. Tilden took the uni versity player in band for special in struction, with the result that Ms game has Improved immensely. While the Davis cun team was In Seattle, Tilden selected Allen as his doubles partner In an exhibition match against William Johnson and Watson Washburn. Again In Victoria, B. C, where the Yankee challengers played just before leaving for New Zealand, the Seattle star-was chosen to play with him. Another player of the Northwest wno Tilden expects great things of is Phil Neer. He expects Neer to finish bis tennis career leading the second 10 play ers of the country or near the bottom of tbe first 10. 1 "According to my Judgment" said Til den in speaking of Allen's future, "Allen is going to-be one of the leading players of this country If he continues to de velop as he has In the last few years. I believe that he has greater possibili ties than Phil Neer, who' seems to have the edge on him at present. Phil is a wonderful young player and t look for hlra to rank at the bottom of the first 10 or the top of the second 10 plsyers of the United States, but Allen will go higher. He has a variety of strokes, speed of foot and aggressiveness to start with. All ho lacks now is tournament experience such as the players in the East get where they are - continually meeting the best men in the game. If h can get that he will live up to my I expectations, otherwise he will hot" The second Seattle tennis star who Tilden expects great things of is Ar mond Marlon, the 16-year-old city Junior champion. Before leaving tor Victoria Tuesday morning the lanky Philadel phlan played a set with the local boy, and declared enthusiastically after the match that he had in him the making of a brilliant tennis player. "He Is by far tbe beat Junior I have seen on the Pacific coast" the champion said. "I don't mean that right now he can beat any boy on the coast, but he has possibilities that none of the boys I have seen so far possess." Phil Glassman, manager of Lew Tendler. the sensational Philadelphia lightweight is quoted as stating that the only condition on which Tendler will box Benny Leonard, holder of tbe lightweight crown, will x be "weigh la at 186 pounds ringside."
