SHftULD the Pacific International
Baarball leaxrue decide to go through
with Its plana of placing team In Port
land and Seattle this year, it would
not 1)8 surprising If Qua Fisher, former
Beaver- catcher, be named to lead the
Pom . City aggregation.
Fisher, according to Judge 'McCredie,
' owner of the Portland Coasters, . would
make an ideal leader and would have a
great . following in Portland as well as
other cities of the Northwest Last
year in the' Pacific International circuit
Fisher batted well over the .300 mark
and his arm was as strong as when he
played with the Beavers.
Leo J. Hartnett, secretary of the P.
I. circuit, is expected to reach Portland
this week from. Han Francisco to con'
1 fer with Judge McCredie regarding the
Portland bnsebalt situation.
Walter McCredie, manager of the

fering , Fisher a" contract with the Port

PASKERT A BEAVER1,
According to report from Chicago,
the Cincinnati Reds have decided not
to claim Outfielder Paskert from the
Cubs -on waivers, which means that the
Tormer speed merchant of the National
circuit may come to Portland in the
Maisel deal. Paskert, according to , Se
attle baseball writers," was ticketed for
the Rainier pasture as part payment
lor Bammy Bonne.
Paskert would be a Btar in the Coast
league, despite the fact that he batted
-around the .280 mark in the majors last
season. '
Should the Detroit Tigers fall to give
roruann a intra Daseman in tne Butn
erland deal, it would not be surprising
if the Cubs try to ship him to Portland.
It is understood that Deal was tagged
for release ,t Los Angeles in exchange-
iot i'licner 'eruea Derore tne 'Cuos
called off the deal because the Angel
was a. opltball beaver. -

O. B. Leaders I
Will Confer
About Trial
By James L. KllgaTlea j
United Nw Staff ComtpondehtJ
CHICAGO, Jan. 31. Judge Kenesaw
M. Landis, supreme ruler of baseball.
accompanied by Ban Johnson, president
of the American league, will go rto the
state s attorney's office here early this
week and request that the 13 Indicted
ball players and gamblers be brought to
trial at the earliest possible moment.
This information was given to the
United News Sunday night by Johnson.
HEADS AKOCSED j
Judge Landis and Johnson, who, with
President T?Avdlr at the National
baseball,, are aroused over reports that
the trial has been deliberately put off,
and that it may never be held. Johnson,
after a conference, decided to take the
matter up with thfe state's attorney, Rob
ert R. Crowe. v
Rumors have reached Judge Landis
that some elements of organized baseball
do not want the case .to come to trial,
because such action might lead to the
uncovering of more scandal in the game.
Judge Landis, for instance, has been
Informed that the indicted Sox players p
will attempt to exDose crookedness on i
the part of other players on the team. ;
TO DRAG IX COLLINS
"I wonder if this whole thing Shouldn't
be ripped wide open." the judge said, ac
cording to Johnson.
Johnson said he had heard that the, in
die ted players, intended to drag the name
of Eddie Collins into the scandal.
"Collins Is one of the cleanest and fin
est men we have ever had in baseball,"
said the American league president.
The report that an attempt would be
made to drag Collins Into the case came
from a south side- place frequented by In
dicted players, including Claude Wil
liams and - Joe Jackson, both of whom
came here recently from the, south to
employ legal talent.
President Johnson said the trial has
been put. off repeatedly as the result of
efforts by lawyers for the indicted play
ers. Last October it was stated that the
trial would be held as soon as possible ;
then the tentative time was pushed back
to "around Christmas," then January 15,
and finally J-some time in February."
Meantime the defendants have grown
bolder. J:udge Landis said he has read
interviews1 with Buck Weaver, In which
Weaver - was quoted-as offering to bet
3500 he would play next year. "I won
der why he is talking that way?" said
the judge. "Maybe he is disregarding
his lawyers' instructions."
SAY DETRdlT FAVORED
It Is reported that the indicted players
will seek to show they were approached
by Sox players not Indicted and urged to
wager that Detroit would beat out New
York for second place in 1919, when the
Sox won the pennant. The indicted co
terie, it is said, will seek to ehow that
some of the "clean" players were on
friendly terms with the Tigers; that they
wanted to see New York lose, so that
Detroit, by finishing second, could cut In
on the world's series gate receipts, and
that they bet their money that way.
Aggies Fail to Win

Berkeley. Cal., Jan. 31. The Oregon

Trading Is

to
EW YORK. Jan. 29 (I. N. S.) Win
ter trade winds promise to make a
hurricane out of the next National
league pennant race.
Recent player deals and the possibil
ities of additional trades reported in the
making are responsible for this belief in
baseball circles today, - . ' - j
SEEK MORE TAIE5T (
Trades consummated since the 1920
season closed have added strength where
it was .most needed to every club in
volved, and no less than half a dozen
managers are still In the market for tal
ent that will add balance to their line
ups. '
The Giants need an Inflelder. They
could use an- outfielder and a southpaw
pitcher and they have catchers to trade.
The Reds could use an experienced In
flelder. to replace Rath, and possibly an
outfielder. .
The champion Dodgers need a catcher
but have nothing to trade at present.
The Cardinals could also use a catcher
and have outfielders to spare.
BRAVES 3fEED SHOKT
Boston should have a shortstop to take
Maranville's place and the Phillies need
a catcher and several other players.
The Cubs need more than any other
team. Evera is after a first baseman, a
third baseman, severar pitchers and a
pair of outfielders.
Pittsburg might be interested were It
possible to land a seasoned first or .third
baseman with hitting ability, but as
there are no such players available the
pirates will probably Btand pat. 1
Maranville 8 transfer to Pittsburg has
filled a void that has been in the pirate
line-up since Wagner retired .and as ,
Mooney" Gibson has a well-balanced ;
outfit. Pittsburg looks like a team that
will be in the race from the start.
The Reds needed the pitching strength
Rixey will give them and that very
badly. The Cardinals, if they land a
catcher, will be stronger and more ' dan
gerous than they were last season.!'
FITE CLUBS STEOXtt v..
Here are three contenders, onpaper.
Add to the potentialities of this trio the
chances of the champion Dodgers, who
wilj enter the race practically intact and
the menace of the second place Giants,
and you have a concoction that savors
of the hottest kind of a! race.
These five clubs will leave the barrier
with good prospects, the kind that will
be sure to make National league fans
wriggle with interest from the start.,
The Chicago Cubs may take oh new
life under Evers, but they are up against
it for badly neded talent and their
chances at this early date seem to taper
off to an interrogation point.
The Braves will be stronger than they
were last season and even the Phillies
with a new manager Bill Donovan and
new blood in their erstwhile anaemic
veins, should -perk up next summer.
Grapplers Ready
For Tuesday's Bout
Considerable interest is being mani
fested in the world's middleweight cham
pionship wrestling contest to be staged
in the Columbia Hall Tuesday night' be
tween Ted Thye. world's champion, and
Carl Nelson, Minnesota grappler.
Nelson, who formerly wrestled in the
Northwest, surprised the mat fans -by
his skill in his workout Saturday after

o'clock tonight. After seeing the Spo
kane outfit in action against the Mult
nomah club hoopers last Saturday night;
Coach Henry Pander and his Parkways
were of the opinion that they will re
ceive the hardest game they have ever
been called on to play. The Winged '"M"
lost out, 19 to 22, after a thrilling batUe
in . the club gymnasium.
Manager Weatherhead took his Wash
ingtoniana to the Neighborhood house
this morning and held a two-hour work
out, getting used to the floor and baskets.
Arrangements- haye been made for-, a
record breaker attendance tonight and a
preliminary game between the J. B. A. C.
team, and the Y. M, C. A. Colonials will
start at 7 :15 o'clock. The Spokane squad
will depart for home Tuesday morning.
Last season the visitors lost both games
they played in Portland, one to Mult

Promoters
Make Little
Money in N.Y.
MEW YORK, Jan.
31. (U. P.)
Promoters who go -into .the box
ing game with ideas of "getting rich
quick 'are ' blowing bubbles, accord
ing to John S. 'Smith, chairman of
the New Jersey state boxing commis
sion, j.
"Outside of boxing circles it is the
common belief that! promoters are mak
ing huge sums ot money under the
high prices that have prevailed during
the past year, but It la not so," he says:
LITTLE OSES DRAW
"The commission knows it to be a fact
that very few promoters in New Jersey
found themselves frteh when they fig
used ud their whining at ;-the end of
1920. What big money was made in
the ring went to the boxers, who never
take a chance.
"One big club' iin New Jersey lost
$15,000 and none of the clubs earned a
very big margin on their Investment.
"There is no money in big fights.
The promoters who made money in New
Jersey last year were the little fellows
who staged small bouts In small arenas
regularly. Several of these 'little' pro
moters staged bouts weekly and made
from $100 to $20q on each.' It wasn t
big money in the modern interprets
tion of the word, but it satisfied them.
TEX 1TOT OETTLWO RICH
"These little promoters helped the
game also because they gave - the fans
good sport at small prices ana tney en
abled : young boxers to g -st a start.
When ; the big premoters withrall star
affairs control the field, the only chance
a young boxer has is to get on in one
of the preliminaries and there are al
ways a score of: applicants ror every
open place."
Ring followers close to xex Kicitara
assert that a winter of big money bouts
in Madison Square Garden hasn't re
turned the peer ef. American promoters
much of a prof it-i
This may explain why the promoters
are supporting the movement for lower
prices of admission because with
"lower gates" automatically will come
lower purses for (the boxers and greater
attendance. :

Yale and Harvard. It is thought, will
find It .impossible to .accept. -The
annual Yale-Harvard regatta at New
London is scheduled ffr June 24. two
days following the event at . Poughkeep
sie, and the ,Blue and Crlnjson crews
could not be in shape to compete on
the Hudson.
Cambridge, it Is believed, will be quite
likely to send a crew to this side of the
water next spring. There is a tentative
understanding between Cambridge and
Cornell that calls for the visit of a
Cambridge team or crew to- Ithaca and
should the English university send a
crew it is thought that arrangements
could be made to have it remain over
for the POughkeepsie event. American
ight-oared crews have made several
visits abroad, but no English varsity
eight has ever visited this side of the
pond. 1 Oxford, too, may decide to send a
crew to the Poughkeepsle regatta, and
should two English " eights enter the
competition will have a decided inter
national flavor for the. first time.
SAVY LIKELY TO EXTEB
The navy, it is believed certain, will
accent the invitation to compete in the
big sweep-swinging event on the Hud
son. Navy will have practically tne
same crew that defeated the combined
Oxford-Cambridge crew at Brussels last
August, winning the world's rowing
championship, and the Middies nave
world of confidence in their chance of
winning further honors.
The officials of the rowing association
hope for at leasftwo entries from the
Pacific coast. Princeton, it is thought,
will enter several crews, probably var
sitv and freshmen eights. In addition
there will be Penn, Columbia. Cornell
and Syracuse, assuring the biggest field
of entries in the history of the event.
For the first time in its history the
main event of the Poughkeepsle regatta
will be rowed over a three mile course.
The junior varsity atid freshmen crews
will row two miles. .
The date of the race. June 22, is the
longest day of the year, and the oars
men will not take tqthe water until late
in the afternoon, probably 4 o'clock.
This will bring- the big race weil up
to 6 p. m.
