1 .. .. - n r, ,1 lrhia 1LT r V 1 1 1 1 n
the Los Angeles youngster, are three re
ceivers who are sure to be In the camp.
KOEHLEIt TO BE TRADED
The fourth catcher will be either H. A.
Rosenberger, Portland youngster, or H.
Allen Johnson of Modesto. Cal. John
son, who was the battery mate of Fred
Connell. right handed pitcher, signed by
the Beavers will likely have the call
over Rosenberger. .
It is practically certain that Art Koeh
Ter, second string' catcher of last season's
team, will be released or traded before
the training camp season opens. Frank
Navin. president of the Detroit Tigers,
has asked that McCredie arrange to send
Koehler to the Omaha club of the West
ern league.
Omaha has offered McCredie Infielder
Jimmy Breen, but the Beaver boss is not
very enthusiastic over the Western
leaguer.
FOUR RELEASED

" started Tuesday when Judge McCredie
notified U S. Cole, Oregon City pitcher ;
Miles Miller, Salem shortstop; il Lorin
Reynolds. Portland pitcher, and Jimmy
Moore. Iowa pitcher, that they had been
released.
Navin has also notified McCredie that
. he will turn over" the players due the
Beavers in tha; Sutherland deal two
weeks after the opening of the Detroit
training camp at San Antonio. It Is al
most certain that Joseph Sargent, third
baseman of the Buffalo club last year,
will be one of the infielders the Beavers
will get in the deal. "
NOTES OF PLAYERS
According to reports from California,
Ralph Stroud, Salt Lake pitcher, has
signed to pitch for the Hanford club of
the San Joaquin Valley league.

Huggins Has
His Eyes on
Ball Title
By Jack Yelork
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S. (I. N. S. The
big spring drive of the ambitious
New York Yankees starts Friday.
The Yanks will set the pace for rival
clubs in the way of starting a squad of
pretentions toward Dixie when a dozen
or more p!ayers leave for Shreveport,
La., headed by Scout Joe Kelly. Active
work in the Yanks' new camp is sched
uled to start next Monday morning.
Manager Miller Huggins, whovill go
south from his Cincinnati home, believes
his 1921 Yanks will capture the penrtant
and his hopes will be greatly bolstered
if Home 'Run Bakf-r returns to the team.
With Babe Ruth. Bobbie Roth and
Baker in the batting order, not to men
tion hitters like Wallie Pipp and Roger
Peckinpaugh to back them up. Huggins'
team will have a batting array sur
charged with "TNT." But Huggins is
counting almost as strongly on his pitch
ers. When all of the Yankee hurlers get
into camp at Shreveport the midget
manager will have 13 slabmen to watch,
lie gave evidence of his optimism re
garding the Yank pitchers when he said :
"I expect wonderful things from that
pitching staff of mine this year. Shaw
key, the league's leading -pitcher; Mays,
who should improve over 1920; Quinn,
veteran spitballer, and Collins, Hoyt and
Harper, not to mention a host of young
fellows, look mighty good to me. I look
for Rip Collins -to have an exceptionally
good year, and if the others can only do
what they should do, well, one-end of the
world's series ought to come to New
York next fall.".
Babe Ruth and the veteran members
of the Yankee battery staff are at Hot
Springs, Ark., where they will remain
for a week or 10 days before reporting at
Shreveport.

Oregon Shooter Is
Third High Gun in
Olympic Club Shoot

one of the champion trap shots of Utah,
was crowned king of the second annual
Olympic shoot at Lakeside traps. Sher
man was in remarkable form and broke
a total of 149 targets out of a possible
150.
That high class shots participated in

Priestley of Stockton ; R. Bungay, Los
Angeles, and R. G. Lacey of Dallas, Or.,
all tied for second place with a total
of 148 breaks out of 150, or only 1 point
behind the champion, Sherman.
The tie necessitated a shootoff and
here some remarkable shooting was seen.
Dr. Priestley and Warren were elim
inated in the first 25 shots, while Lacey
and Bungay netted clean breaks of 25
each. The next 25 shots found the men
again even and the next found them with
one miss each. This tie continued in the
next 25 which brought the score up to
99 for each man out of the hundred.
The next 25 found the big crowd at
fever heat of excitement and when Lacey
missed his twentieth bird Bungay had as
good as won. The man from Los An
geles went right out, winning the shoot
off with 124 to 123 by Lacey.
For the three days Bungay was high
gun with a total of 438. which was tied
by Warren, while Lacey was the third

Heydler Denies Ball Charges

Landis May Quit the Bench
-JY-EW YORK, Feb. 23. (U. N.) Judge
-l- ' K. M. Landis, supreme court of base
ball, is not required to neglect the least.
item of his official duties to perform his
office as head of the national game, but
just the same. President John Heydler
of the National league, predicts the
judge probably will resign from the
bench of the United States district court
and devote himself exclusively to the
wrangles and tangles of the big leagues.
Heydler issued a statement here deny
ing the bulk of the charges made before
the house of representatives by Con
gressman B. T. Welty against Landis.
TWO CASES I' COURT
"I would regret, if in seeking to
strengthen the national game we should
deprie the country of Judge Landis'
services as a jurist," Heydler stated,
"but I feel that in due time, he will de
vote all his time and energy exclusively
to baseball, regardless of whether he
says so."
"The statements of a representative in
congrees regarding a national institution
should go no longer unchallenged. When
a public man makes a statement that
baseball, is paying a big salary to Judge
Landis in the nature of a bribe that man
is wilfully misrepresenting the whole sit
uation or is woefully ignorant of the
facts.
"Today there are only two cases be
fore the courts in which baseball is con
cerned. "Landis has nothing to-do with either.
Great stress Is laid on one of these by
Welty, being the 1919 finding of the
lower court in Washington that baseball
was a combination in violation of the
Sherman act."
Heydler claimed, however, that this
dictum had been reversed by the court

of appeals of the District of Columbia,
which held, he stated, that baseball was

set the entire course of action. Heydler
pointedly called attention to the fact that
Welty had failed to mention this re
versal when citing the lower courts' de
cision. COURT GETS ATTETfTIOIf
Baseball interests did not ask Judge
Landis to remain on the bench, Heyd
ler said, in disavowal of any hope that
the baseball interests might benefit by
his position. The judge himself made
this decision and since accepting his
baseball job has not devoted an hour's
time to baseball at the expense of the
court. Heydler claimed. The only time
Judge Landis attended a New York
baseball meeting, he left Chicago after
adjournment of court on Friday and. was
back in court on Monday.
Heydler gave the first definite news
as to what baseball will- do about the
cases of the indicted White Sox players
in case they should be acquitted. They
will then be tried before Judge Landis
under the laws of organized baseball,
and Heydler said this contingency was
one of the matters baseball chiefs had in
mind in selecting a man of Landis' Ju
dicial temperament. However, he set
forth that there would be no impropriety
about Landis' interest in baseball, inso
far as the court trials of the men are
concerned, because the players will come
before the Cook county courts,; which
