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.

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.

In meeting the strong Untversitv of

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

Tbe Cougars have been defeated but

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.

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.

TTNTVEBSTTT OF OREGON, Eugene,
Nov. 20. With about 25 men prac
ticing every night In Klnoaid field, the
University of Oregon's eighth soccer
season is probably the most lively In the
history of tbe event on this campus.
The squad of players is especially for
tunate in having Dean Colin V. Dyment
as coach.
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.

At the Iowa State tournament Troeh
broke 756 out of 800 targets, being high
over all shooters, broke 93 out of 100
in the doubles. In which he was high,
and In two special . events at doubles
targets be broke 47 out of 60 and 60
straight, and won both. In this same
tournament he won the Hazard trophy,
emblematic of the world's doubles tar
get championship. In the Texas State
tournament he was second n the aver
agef with 390 in 400 targets, and second
in the doubles event He was high in
the: handicap event with 97 from 22
yards, and had a run of 163 straight
the: last 63 being from 22 yards.
TB.OEH WAS THE WHOLE SHOW
The Pacific Coast handicap was more
like a Troeh celebration than a shoot
open to all. He won everything except
the traphousea He first took tlfe Pa
cific Coast doubles championship, with
47x50, and then the Introductory event
with 197 breaks in 200 and 60 straight
in the shootof f . He followed this by
winning the Northwest special, with
100 straight the preliminary handicap,
with 97 out of 100 from 23 yards, and
the Pacific Coast Amateur champion
ship,' with 394 x400. In the handicap
event Troeh had one run of 6L an ex
ceptional run from 23 yards. He had
a run of 317 straight 216 of which were
from 16 yards.
Mixed In with this bit of trapsboot

in the clay bird tournament put, up

you that 49 was the longest run ever

Tilden, Tennis
Champ, Says
Neer a Comer
SEATTLE, Not. 20. -In the future, -
wiirn me waiter timpi ui ten
nis rank the stars of the country,
Seattle is going to have a player
right around the top of the list, per
haps two. 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."
A man can get a heap more
satisfaction from a small chew
of this class of tobacco, than
he ever could get from a big
chew of the old kind.
He finds it costs less, too. The
good tobacco taste lasts so
much longer he doesn't need
to have a fresh chew nearly
as often
