SANTA MARIA. CaL. March 16. Walter McCredle ha duj? up another "phenom" for the Portland fans. The latest atar la Jim Poole, the North Caro lina ' "tarheel" who Joined the squad Tuesday morning. In the Yanntgan regular content Tues day afternoon Poole, although he Jias rad na practice at all. Btepped Into a fast one for three sack. It vu a healthy clout and would have rattled the boarda on the left field fence on the Vaughn street lot. Poole Is a fast and steady fielder and is swift aa a bul- let on the paths. Mae is tickled almost to death with him and says. if the Port land fans are not going to forget all about Iiw Blue he will miss his guess, PATTOJT HTARRIXO Hasen Payton continued to show Im provement in his work in playing and there in every Indication that McCredle will start him at short in the opening game. Wea KIngdon has been stationed at second In the practice games and un less Krug reports for the first week. Klngdon will cover the keystone sack. McCredle, however, expects Krug to join the club before the club leaves Santa . Maria. ; The' coming- of Ike "Wolfer to the Port land camp means that either Messall or Uenln will have to step to hold to their positions. Wolfer Is said to be a comer In baseball. The experience he gained In the Western league last year ought to .make him about ripe to break into the Coast league this season. PUT STUFF OJT BALL - The pitchers are starting to put a little sip on the ball now. By the middle of next week Mac expects to have them -on edge. There Is a better spirit on the club than that displayed last year at Ontario and the players are alt anxious to put themselves on edge.- The regulars went down to defeat before the Yannigans by a 5 to 3 count Kallio and 'Nofzlger pitched for the regulars, while Snyder, a rookie who may be signed by Bill Speas, worked for the Yans. The regulars gar nered eight hits and the Yans plucked nine. . - " ' , Another practice game will be played this afternoon, which should put the club in pretty good playing form for the open ing of the four game series against the . Colottd Stars Thursday. Pilletle la scheduled to start the Thursday game on the mound with Fisher on the receiving end. Iligb School Matmen to Tangle Ten events are on the program for the Franklin high-Washington high dual wrestling meet billed for this afternoon in the Quakers' ' gymnasium.

Notes From the Beaver Camp By George Berts : SANTA MARIA, CAI. March The first real baseball of the. train ing camp season brought out some inter esting: points in the make-up of the young ! stars on the Beaver roster. The manner In which young Payton han dled himself at short and the work of "Pep" Young at; second base was pleas ing to Mac s eye. v Payton handled four chances In ; the seven-inning game, two grounders, one of which took a rather bad hop, and two fly balls. : His ' throw to first base is quick and snappy and he had the run ners by several : feet. His form at the plate was also pleasing.- although there was not much; stuff at the ball.. He banged out two hits. ' ' - . f , ' . v: Sam Benedict showed up in good style on the couple of chanees he handled, and he was the only one of the Rooks to break Into the hit column. Sam Ross rabbit foot must have started Its work already. Sam bagged two doubles during the game, both of them going to left field.- Despite a sore leg.: . Sam : showed some speed on ' the bags. ; ' t Ed Zink. the Nebraska hujier. Is very much overweight. But he plans to don a couple of the old sweat shirts and run some of it off ; before the end of this week. i Ous Fisher is mighty well pleased with the appearance of some of the young players In camp. Ous 1 a nrt-" - 1 judge of a player. He believes that Pay- ton is a comer and also likes the loo&s of "Pep" Young. j . Roy Messall lot Los Angeles may be lost to the Beavers.- Messall signed up with the Sweetwater,, club, having ac cepted terms offered.; Willis Butler displayed that he still possesses his batting eye. Butler banged out three hits in the first practice game. two of them being clean swats. T. ThyelTakes Two v Straight Fa lis From jEalph Grant After Ted Thye had managed to secure the first fall is 47 minutes and 45 sec onds, the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club's wrestling instructor made short work of pinning Ralph Grant's ahoulders to the mat in the second encounter In the main event at the Armory Tuesday night. Thye used an arm scissors to punish Grant f into submission the first time while a combination arm lock and leg hold forced the Pullman instructor to spread out on his back in 15 minutes and 2 seconds for the-'second time. The bout was fast throughout, neither grappler losing any time in working on his oppon ent. Every hold in the "book" except the strangle, ' which . is barred, was used Tuesday night and the fans were given a thrilling time; . In the preliminary j bout, Tom Grant. Spokane heavyweight, worked 43 min utes and 45 seconds before he was able to land Chris Pearson with an arm-scissors. Pearson, a veteran of some 20 years, put up i a game battle but his young adversary was too strong and his 10-pounds of added , weight were too much for Pearson to overcome. Manager Joseph Rieg, who has promoted the re turn of professional .wrestling in Port land, was well pleased with the turnout and he plans on staging another card early in April, i I, . . . .

March 16. (L N. S.) XI "Everybody tells me the Yankees and Cleveland will be one-two. I hope they are right, just like that," Miller Huggins, midget manager of the New York Americans, sent this hope ful comment to the International News Service .today from Shreveport, -, La., where Babe Ruth and- company are in training. ; ' f "X am highly pleased' with the ; cfindi- tion of the' Yankees and the way they are shaping up," Huggins continued. "I think our pitching will -be better'-than it -was last season, our batting heavier. and the speed of the club . as a whole greatly improved by recruits. - I do not believe we will suffer by having but one left-handed pitcher in Harry Harper. It is my belief that the addition of Walte Hoyt and Collins as second year men will over-balance that. Ati WINGO "THEBE" i "There's . one young player in camp who looks exceptionally good. He is Al Wingo, brother of Ivy, the - Red's catcher. As it looks now, he is sure-to be carried as extra outfielder. He is a bang-up hitter and I believe he will grow into i a real star as a batsman,- though "his fielding may not measure up in proportion to his hitting as he pro gresses. . ' '"BjJb Muesel also looks good. Though he just got to camp he has shown me more speed and better fielding ability than at any time last season, v He has new confidence in himself and Is much less awkward than last year. I expect to fit him into the infield or the out field in order to get the benefit of his hard hitting every day. "It is too early yet to tell about Frank Baker,;, who will not report until next week. : However, If Baker plays third. Ward probably will go to second and Fewstev will be tried , in the outfield. HUTH ALMOST HEADY "We have a peppery young catcher in camp in Hoffman. He looks great. He hits the ball hard, too, and is the hardest worker, in camp. ; , "Ruth's work is a source of satisfac "lion. He is getting down to weight and hitting- well,- why 'mention it? I may experiment with Ruth at first base. If not, it will be Meusel or Pi pp. ; If Pipp shows enough aptitude as an outfielder he may be placed In the garden. "Bob Roth is showing plenty of class as a hitter and Wallie Schang appears to be as good as ever, r I think his catch ing, along with Hoffman's, will be a big improvement over that of Ruel and Han nah for speed and hitting ability. - "As it looks now our Infield, regard less of how it finally lines up, is going to be much stronger than in 1920, with bo many candidates to pick from. I like Mitchell's "work and also McXally's. Either ought to - make a good man at second or third. 3TO XIHEUF HI3TTED ' "With a month to go before the season opens, there is no chance at present to hint at what our lineup or batting order is going to be in the opening game. But it will be strong, and the club as a whole, I hope, plenty strong enough to win the championship. "It is too early and I have heard too little about other clubs to attempt to size them up correctly, : though every body tells me that the Yanks and Cleve land will be one-two. I consider Cleve land our strongest rival, now that the White Sox have been broken up. Wash ington and St.' Louis loole pretty strong from this distance.

Frank Baker, once the home run king of , the diamond, is on his way back to , base ball. . r , r - v. -;;w M J After a year's .."retirement 4 the swat sultan before the days of Babe Ruth Is headed south for the camp, of the v New York Yankees to try a come-back. There are those who, . from a , pre ponderance of evidence in the past, will say, "It can't be done." Others who sat at the ringside here the other night and saw the ancient Stanislaus Zbyszko, close to the - half century mark, conquer . the youthful Joe Stecher, a perfect athlete and one of - the best wrestlers in , the game, will say, "It can be done." ; It's all up to Baker. If he does come back, It may mean a toennant for the Yanks." If he doesn't ne-will be just one of those rather . pitiful spectacles that the public looks at with sympathy and wonders, "Why do they try?" Last summer in Antwerp, Ted Mere dith, ne- time peer of all the middle distance runners and the holder of sev eral world's records, failed pitifully in an attempted comeback. The ring is being cluttered up now with attempted comebacks. - High prices being paid to boxers is luring the old timers back through the belief they Can still earn some' good money. CAN FRANCISCO, March 16.- H. kJ Kirkwood, open champion of Kirkwood, open champion of Aus tralia, arrived in San Francisco Tuesday en route to England, where he intends to participate in the British open golf championship on the St. Andrews links.
