Few Holdouts in Coast League This Season
Beaver Box
Star Seeks
More Money
By Georg-s Berts
CAM ROSS, southpaw pitcher of the
Portland Beavers, in not exactly sat-
lafled with the term of his 1981 contract,
, which he received Saturday.
The portsider can not be classed as
a holdout as ilttls difficulty Is expected
in reaching; terms with Judge McCredie.
Ross was the hard luck pitcher .of the
Coast league last season. He pitched
, srood ball throughout the entire season,
but his team mates failed to bat in any
runs behind him.
HOLDOUTS FEWER
There are fewer holdouts in the Coast
league this season than ever before. The
action of the powers in the national
pastime, enforcing: the rulings against
jumpers and the blow-up of the big. In
dustrial leagues throughout the Cast and
Middle West is the cause of the players
. being more diplomatic In dickering with
the magnates in regard to their con
tracts. .
There are about three real holdouts in
the Coast leagUB this season, namely
'Red" Baldwin, Seattle catcher ; Morris
- Rath, Seal infietder, and Justin Fitz
gerald, San Francisco outfielder. -Brick"
. KMred,' Seattle outfielder, and Joe
Dalley, Rainier recruit pitcher, are seek
ing more coin and it is likely that they
'will agree to terms before the trainipg
camp season opens two-weeks hence.
SPE2TCER ACCEPTS TEEMS
The Seattle club Is not worrying about
Baldwin's future, because of the fact
that "Tubby" Spencer, former Salt Lake
catcher, has accepted terms for the sea
son. Spencer should be a big help to
the Rainiers should he get down to busi
ness and play ball like he did during the
t9l1 season.
v The Regina baseball club will train at
Willows, CaL, this ' season. Manager
Speas has not completed arrangements
-as yet but it is likely that he will ask
.'his players to spend about two weeks In
- the California town and then start a
barnstorming tour up the coast to. Van
couver, B. C. Speas will probably go to
Santa Maria with the Beavers to look
: ovf some of the young talent on the
. Portland roster. , "
"Doc" Findlay, former trainer of the
LoS Angeles club, will aid Del Howard
In whipping the Oakland players In
shape this season.

probability Harry Fischer, -who worked
the Oregon Aggie-Idaho affair at Corval
lis Saturday night, will be In charge. The
visitors are due In the Rose City Wed
nesday morning and will go direct to
the Winged "M" club.
. Georges' Bout With
German Not Favored
Paris, Feb. 21. (TJ. N.) The French
sporting brotherhood is all worked up.
Reports from Berlin have it that Georges
Carpentier, the national idol, is planning
to box an exhibition in Germany with
the German champion. Breiterstrater.
1 We don't believe it," says La presse.
"There is some misunderstanding. There
is a good deal of patriotic pride in the
popularity and general sympathy Car
pentier enjoys from the French people,
. but they will have been rudely deceived
If they learn that the great champion
exhibits himself before Berlin people
for a lucrative contract. For France
it is unpardonable that men who have es
teem 'should accept the notoriety that
would come from cynically accepting
anybody's money."

Yanks' Field
Will Rival
Old Stadium
By Howard T. Kelly
JEW TORK. Feb. 21. (I. N. S.)
The historians and artists of
early Greece have raved in print and
color about the great amphiteatres
of Athens where the discus thrower
and sprinter of old were wont to ex
hibit their prowess before a holiday
throng.
An old Roman gentleman by the name
of Uvjr, did his bit by writing several
thousand words about the magnificent
stadiums of Rorffe where Roman youtlfs
pitted their skill and strength in sports
against one another.
WERE WORKS OF ART
These amphitheatres that we have
heard about through the Greek and Ro
man writers and artists were erected as
works of art. They rivaled in splendor
of conception and magnificence of fin
ish any of the great' palaces or state
buildings of the time.
In Rome the gladiators fought on .the
red sands of the arena before a grand
stand that took many years of patient
slaving to build. In Athens the clean
limbed TIllnAM - T- O n ttiAti n 4
threw the hammer in a field surrounded
oy colossal evidences of art
These great palaces of sport crumbled
as time passed. They were never re
built. Perhaps the enthusiasm for sports
was not great enough to inspire their
rebuilding. It may toe that interest in
art dwindled for a time and no on
wanted to put forth great efforts to give
athletics an artistic setting. Whatever
caused the neglect of the great amphi
theatres matters' liftl In iHr rr t)i

Matty
Weeps
As He Reads
. By Henry L. Farren
SAKANAC LAKE, N. Y, Feb. 21. (U.
P.) Christy Mathewson wept today
as he. read of the teams going South
without him.
Through with baseball forever, fight
ing for his life against the ravages of
tuberculosis. "Big Six" was found sit
ting bundled in heavy blankets. .
It was the first time in seven months
that his home had been opened to a
newspaper man.
"He has been extremely nervous and
impatient lately," said his faithful nurse
his wifewho had to talk for Mathew
son because the exertion of speaking
was too much for his strength. "I think
it comes from reading about 'the ball
club going South. You know this is the
first time In 21 years that he has not
gone with them.. He broke down .and
cried bitterly. I never saw him do that
before. 'Matty will get well, but I don't
want him ever to go back to baseball.
I want -him to spend the rest of his life
doing the things he has always loved to
do fishing, hunting and tramping In the
great outdoors.
'Through it all he has fought He has
been sorely tried, but he never despaired.
For a long time he was not himself.
But in his real moments he would say,
'Make allowances for me, dear. You
know I'm not the boy I used to be."
LOOKS WELL
"He doesn't talk baseball much. For
a long time he was too sick to think or
care about anything. He did talk a lot
about the 1919 world series."
Mathewson looks surprisingly well for
one who has had death's grip at his
throat for almost a year. He has lost
about 40 pounds and his cheeks are pale
with a pallor that Is intensified by the
scarlet spots that burn when the dreaded
fever takes hold. His voice Is as strong,
however, as It used to be when he yelled
instructions from the coaching lines. .

Card Should
Be Good One
TWO high class ring contests can be
expected at the Milwaukie boxing'
commission arena Wednesday night
The main event between Bud Ridley of
Seattle and "Babe" Herman, Sacramento
bantamweight, should be a great mill.
Ridley will have a slight advantage In
weight, but Herman expects to over
come this by his cleverness.
In addition to being shifty, Herman
nosnefiRen m knnoltnut ntinr-h. Thouirh he
has boen in the professional ranks a
little over one year, he has scored 14
knockouts against some of the best boys
In the bantam division.

hummer. Willis' ability as a boxer and
mixer is well known to the ring fans in
these parts. Allison Is a battler of the
same type, although he Is not regarded
as being a clever boxer. Allison recently
put up a 'great match aaalntit Frankie

cision. Willis, provided he heals Allison,
will hurl a broadside challenge at
Murphy. ,
