The Beavers played a rancid game
of baseball against the Colored Giants
Friday afternoon, losing by the count
of S to 1. - Four errors were charged to
the Mackmen. but they did not work
together. A number of hits credited to
the colored stars could have been con
verted Into outs.
Jimmy Nofzlger hurled the entire
game for the Beavers, but his' support
fell to pieces and presented the Giants
with the five tallies that they scored.
Nofslger held the -Giants to four hits
and one run In the first five innings.
The run was scored when Klngdon made
a wild have In completing a doubleplay.
LONE BUJT IJf I5TH
In th sixth lnnlnsr. a walk and Ray's
triple, which sailed far over Benedict's
head In leftfield. resulted in another
tally. Three scratch hits in the seventh
resulted In one more run, and In the
eighth some weird fielding gave the
'Giants two tallies, v..'- - '
Portland's lone run was scored In the
jilnth by 'Baker, who walked and took
'third on Pagan's error and scored on
CPaton'g hit through short
The Beavers were weakened fey the
.absence of Dick Cox. Nofzlger made two
of the four hits registered by Portland.
Manager McCredle plans to send a

the Giants Saturday, probably Poison

Landis Is Bitter in
His Denunciation
Port Huron. Mich., March 19. (L N.
S.) Judge Landis is going to do every
thing tn his power to chastise the base-
. ball crooks, according to word from the
- commissioner received by George Maines,
president of the Michigan-Ontario
league. Maines quoted Judge Landis to
day as follows: - j
"While the commercial classes have
sought to put money in their purse by
the attempted pollution of a great' na
tional pastime, restful pillows for them
u will be mighty scarce and this goes for
the crooks Inside and the crooks out
side. We may, not get them all into
the, penitentiary but they will be. kept
. off , tbe baseball : diamond and' out of
baseball parks. All the energy and prop
erty of organixed . baseball is pledged
to war to a finish a the gamblers."

Marty Krug
Expected at
Beaver Camp
WHETHER or not. Marty Krug joins
the Portland Beavers la up to the
former Salt leaker himself.
Judge W. W. ; McCredle received a
long letter from .Krug. who Is. in Ban
Diego, in which he revealed the .cause
for his complaint. He told the judge
that he held nothing against the Port
land baseball owners and that he desired
.V play for the McCredles during the
1921 season, but he felt that he had
not ' received the" proper- treatment.
After reading the letter the judge wired.
something like this: - , v;:'
"If that is all thai prevents you from
signing the Beaver contract, forget it.
We-will take care of that trouble to
your advantage. -. - -
Mow, information la expected from the
Santa Maria training camp to the effect
that Krug has Joined too ranks. Should
he sign, and there seems to be no reason
why he shouldn't, he will be stationed
at second base to replace Paddy Slglln.
Krug . will be made captain- of . the
Beavers and he is expected to be the
J'maln spring" of the inner defense.
Bob Beschcr, the Columbus slugger.
won't ' be with i Portland. After theJ
McCredles bad agreed to pay Columbus
a good -price fori his services' and also
agreed to pay him- the amesa.lary he
was offered by the AmericQ associa
tion team, Bescher came back with a
request, for a - fabulous" sum. The
matter was dropped and Judge McCredie
wrote to Columbus stating that the deal
was off.'" - v:'."
- Friday - afternoon ; a telegram came
to the . Casco Duilding offices of the
judge and it was from : Bescher. He
said that , he was willing to come at
the original figures offered him. Now
he is out in the cold, for it is "nothing
doing" inasmuch as Manager Walt Mc
Credie is dickering with the Detroit and
Chicago Cub squads and expects to
land a couple of players who will make
him forget all about Bescher.
An investigation is going on at the
University of Michigan regarding the
activities of Vernon Parks, captain of
the baseball team. Phil Bartelme,
director of athletics, has been informed
that Parka played for the Portland
Beavers under the ' assumed name of
"Harold Brooks."; : ,. '
When Brooks f joined the Portland
club, well after the opening . of the
season, he immediately made a hit with
the fans. Little information could be
secured as to his past baseball career
and the only thing given out by the
McCredies was that he was a "busher"
from Montana." j Ke was "different
from the ordinary ' run of bushers, but
(outside of the fact that a Seattle weekly
paper attempted "an "expose" but could
not, no one seemed to know anything
about him. t

Giants to Win
NEW YORK. March 19. (I. N. S.) "1
never make predictions of what, tbe
Giants will do in a championship race.
It is foolisb, considering the uncertainty
of baseball and liability of accidents to
players.. For Instance, we had a grand
team last year and might have won out
had not Friach been off the line for
months." .' ' ' ;.'-;-''
- In these words John J. McGraw, scrap
py manager of the New York 'Nationals, 1
disposed oi the annual requests forra
prediction regarding the chances of his
team, in a wire to" the International
rsews service, toaay irom san Antonio.
"I can say, however." he continued,
"that I never had a team that gave more
promise of winning a pennant than the
one 'I now have in training. rThe play
ers are all hustlers, right up to ray 'ideas
of Vhat players should be. The young
sters have the right idea and the proper
ambition and I -think several of them are
destined to become big league stars.
LOOKS GOOD
"II y regular team has rounded into a
very classy aggregation. The infield in
particular has shown me what brilliant
work a brainy, speedy, Mery bunch of
players can do when they get their minds
on the game. They are on their mental
and physical tiptoes In every gram. They
never know when they are beaten. They
will pull many a victory out of the fire
by their gameness alone. This is high
praise, but I know what Kapp, Bancroft,
Frisch and Kelly can do. '
"The nucleus of our outfield is strong,
with Burns and Young as fixtures. ' Then
there are Kauff, Ed Brown and Curtis
Walker, not to mention Lee King and
Vernoo Spencer. Should I decide to hold

Form Two Leagues -gBeing
Organized
Vale, Or, .March . 19. Two four-team
baseball leagues the Idaho-Oregon and
the -Pin- -Line leagues were formed at
a 'meeting of representatives from the
eight towns .in the leagues at Welser.
Idaho. A .mutual understanding,, that
both leagues -would end their season on
or before . July 3,-: was. made. ; It was
further agreed that the winners in each
league would play a series of games for
the 1921 championship, details of this
post-reason series to be left to the man
agement of. the winning teams. : ; '
The Idaho-Oregon league Is composed
of Vale. -Huntington, Payette and Parma.
The Pin. Lisa four are: Weiser. Canv
bridge. Mid vale and . Council. Both
leagues will hold meetings within a few
days to "arrange schedules and all neces
sary details incident to the sport this
season. . - - "' ; , '.;
The Idaho-Oregon- league last year
consisted of six teams. This year two.
additional towns on the Pin Line were
seeking admission and it was the judg
ment of y the last meeting that the long
distance between the two extremities of
the proposed league of eight teams would
mitigate against good - attendance and
successful , baseball so the eight towns
were split into two leagues. - " -

wall indicates that the following are
due to doff the feedbag here soon :
Pitchers Fred Connell, John Brogan,
Doug Tait. ' - " . ... ..
Catcher Hank Johnson. .-
Infielders Sam Benedict, Clyde Young,
Russell -Goforth, Ray Stobener. i
Outfielder J. Fredricks. ,
Every one of these players' ha a fu
ture, provided they pick up the inside
of the national pastime as 'they have
during the short time they have been
working out. here.
Connell is a very willing youngster.
In the three innings that he worked
against- the White Six last Sunday he
declares he picked up more real knowl
edge about pitching than he did in two
years in the bushes. He has . a good
fast ball, good control and mixes up his
delivery, but lacks the polish. y.
LACS C0XTB0L ' '
Brogan - lacks control, but there is
every indication that he will correct
this', fault with some experience- In a
small league. 'Brogan has lots. of speed
on the ball, but thus far in the prac
tice games he. has been unable to lo
cate the plate..- '.'" . 5
; Doug Tait promises to develop Into a
good hurler. He is as strong as an
ox, despite the fact that he is still in
his teens. Tait has a great mixture of
curves and a good change of pace. Tait
picked up a lot of . knowledge from
"Suds" Sutherland, the big star of the
1920 Portland staff.
Jimmy Nofzlger and. Herman Ross,
two. other rookie -hurlers in camp, -will
be carried a while longer. Neither one
of them nas rounded into top form as
yet, -and McCredie does not Intend to
let them go until he has had a good
chance to look them over. -JOHNSOT
A COMER
! Henry Johnson has everything in his
favor to be a great catcher. He weighs
173 pounds and is six - feet' tall. . but
lacks experience. ' In. a season. -or two
in . the Class , B league he should turn
out to be a highrrtass player. V
i The quartet ; of infielders to be re
leased 'are veryi promising ; in fact, with
Stobener on first. Goforth on second.
Young . at short and- Benedict at third,
anvt Class B cluh will have 1 a pretty
strong Infield combination. -
Lack ox experience is the 'stumbling-
block to their ability : to make good In
the Coast league this season. Stobener
can hit the ball.- and. according to
opinions formed, -would make a better
outfielder- than infielder, although he
has shown up ? well at first base. He
came to Portland as an all-round in
fielder. Goforth looks to be a prom
ising player. He - takes a hard swing
at the bat and has nice style. In the
field he handles a ground ball In good
fashion. Young is a crackerjack of an
Infielder, but he will have to change

' needn't go any further than Jerfw-J
City or Newark for a spot to pitch the
.t.M a. n A -W . . 1 1 . It . . . . , W .
Dempsey-Carpentler fight. New Jerney
permits 12-round no-Ufcl.slon fights and
the mayors of both Vna would be glad
to have the big bout, ,
"Why sure, they can come over here
and flKht all they want. We don't care
who fights here, as long as the law is
Obeyed," Bald Mayor Gillen f Newark.
hto the United News. "We've got the old
Federal league ball park, just across
the river at; Harrison, and it will sr t
40.060 or 60.000 people. I hear Itlckard
wants to charge $25 for some soats and
I think that's a pretty high price for
some of the boys to pay. But I sup
pose there will be plenty of good seats
for less money. Anyway, that is a detsil
that we could arrange.
"There would probably be some oppo
sition by a few people that are radical
on the subject ot prize fights, but they
wouldn't be able to stop It. lt 'em
come over. We'd be glad to have 'cm."
THEY'LL HAVE IT
Secretary Malone, for Mayor Hague of
Jersey City, said Hague would welcome
the fight t to Jersey City. There are
plenty of good circus lots over there,
Malone said. on. which Klckard could
build his park, and if he doesn't want to
build, there Is the Jersey City ball park
of the International league that held
CO.000 customers the night of the Burns
Kilbane fight a year ago. There is no
opposition in Jersey City that could
spoil the party, the mayor's secretary
said. !
Governor MUler of New York has Inti
mated that despite the existence of the
Walker law, legalising IS-round decision
bouts, he 'would not care to have the
Dempsey-Carpentler muss performed In
this state. Jersey City and Newark are
within 45 minutes of Broadway and tho
fare both ways Is less than a dollar.

PORTLAXBER PBAISED '
Benedict Is a clean-cut player. He
possesses a good, strong throwing arm
and fields In fine fashion, but faces the
same handicap lack of experience.
Fredericks ,1s a comer -'In the' "out
field. He is a regular ball hawk and
stands up well at the plate.' He is
only 19 years old. and in a yeaf w two
he is going to cut some Ice in the base
ball circles of the Pacific Coast.
Manager: McCredle is well pleased
with tbe actions of the youngsters.
Just which of these players will be
