WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3. AZ21. McCredie Depends on Cubs and Tigers Jrtland Bankers' THE OREGON DAILY t JOURNAL; PORTLAND, OREGON Beavers9 Bat Pace Depends On Deliveries By George Belts QANTA MARIA, Cel.. March 23. Port land's hitting strength In this year's Pacific Coast Jeague pennant race somewhat problematical and will remain no until the Beavers secure the' players from the Uetroit Tigers and the Chicago Cubs. Should Sargent be delivered o Port land by Detroit and another good hard hitting- outfielder be secured the Beavers are going to have a strong offensive at tack. Dick Cox and Jim Poole are hit ters of the slugging type who should bat in the charmed circle without any great difficulty. , In the five-game series with the Col ored Giants, Cox banned out five hits Jn 16 times up, while Poole collected . one 'more hit in as many trips to the plate. ; Four of Poole's hits were for extra bases and one thing about Poole's hitting that pleases - Boss . McCredie is the big' fel low's ability to hit in all directions. The hitting strength of the catching staff Is going to be very strong. Fisher Is a goQd hitter,' and always will be. Baker Is just beginning to get his eye on the ball, while Rip King, whom Mac ' now believes will develop Into a great catcher.' has started, to slash the ball. Krug, ex-Salt Lake Inflelder, ought to hit between .290 and .300 -and the same is true of Sargent. r ; Bar Rent hit .293 last season with .the Buffalo club. Patton, should MacCredie decide to start him, may not hit well at the start of the season but la bound to Improve. " J. Duffy's Manager Confident France WilETake Licking "Earl France will think Sol Xevinson's glove emporium has fallen on him when "he meets Jimmy Duffy tomorrow night in the Heillg theatre," is the way Man- ager Willie Bernstein declares himself. Both Franca and Duffy are ready to tangle in the 10-round main event dur , ing the auspices of the Portland Boxing commission. Bernstein further maintains that - Duffy has not been defeated in more than 150 starts, despite the fact that three decisions went against the Oakland battler. The three boxers who were given the verdicts were' taken on in re turn engagements and Duffy beat them so decisively that his followers feel the first setbacks should not have been awarded. ' Both boys will weigh In at 138 pounds at 3 o'clock Thursday, afternoon and a forfeit of. $300 has been posted to insure this. - Jimmy Brenton and Billy M ascot t are down to meet in the eight-round semi-wlndup. ,- v e' Harry Eagles and his manager, Harry Harris, have arrived . in Portland and they are going to watch the Ted Meredith-Frank Pete six-round affair with . a great deal of interest. Eagles wants to get on a Portland card and he is - . willing to meet the winner of Thursday night's Meredith-Pete contest as a start er. At 'present he Is working out daily at his brother's gymnasium in Kenton. Walter B. Honeyman, - secretary and j matchmaker of the Portland com mi s ' eion, has announced that all reservations for tickets placed at' Rich's or Stiller's must be., taken up by not later than 8 o'clock tonight. i ....

Rocky Kansas is the iron man of the lightweight division. 1 More,! b i 1 a worthy opponent for Benny: Leonard, champion of the 135 pounders and richly deserves a chance at the title.-. t 1 - , ' , This is the verdict of Gotham boxing fans following 'Kansas' Monday night victory .-over Willie Jackson in a color ful 12 round bout at Madison Square Garden.' witnessed by a crowd of 15,000 who gathered to see these two rivals for Leonard's crown in action. - Through his victory the Buffalo scrap perwhat a scrapper he is ! has earned the right to a match with the lightweight champion under the direction of Tex Rickard, who plana to stage another 13a pound title bout in the open atr during the coming summer. And ' he will be a handful, even for the crafty, hard hitting Leonard. - Kansas Is one i of ths most rugged lightweights who has put up. bis hands in any ring" in .many, many years. He la a fighter from the soles of his feet to the crown of his bead and he can take it. .- ' - . r Several times during Monday's bout, Jackson landed rights that turned Rocky partly around, but he always came back for more with a grin on bis face and flew Into Jackson like a young bulldog. ' - The Buffalo boy is not a master of science. He is not over fast on his feet and is not what might be called spec tacular. But he can hit with both bauds and he reminds one of the good old-time two-fisted lightweights of the Kelson and Wolgast type.' , - t ' His chances against Leonard when they meet will i undoubtedly place him on the short end of the betting, but the wise ones will .have 1 at least one I "ticket" on him because he is the kind of a lad who can win the - lightweight title in one - punch if he lamia on the "button."; i .

(I.' N. S.) Sor Hornabr. 1250.000 heautv of the" St Louis Cardinals and champion batsman of the National league, is out to defend his laurels. What's more, he hopes to better his 1920 record by in vading the select class oi ".400 bitters" this year. " ' Hornsby modestly tells of his ambition in a wire from Dixieland, received today by the International JSews Service. I hope, to retain the National league batting Championship," says Hornsby, 'and I am eager to build up a .400 aver age this year.---- " - - ? ;. "If I can only get away to a good start I know I can hit from mid-season on. The records show that I have al ways come strong at the fmish. TO START EARLY , a i - "I had a world of good batting prac tice last spring and when the season opened I was in my stride. In previous years . I had experienced difficulty in getting started and by the time I found myself the other fellows had gained an unpassable lead The star swatsman of the Cards, led the senior major league season last year with a batting average of .370 in 149 games. He carried the National league (CopyiigBC 19 21 by ':. -Berries. coo- 'warn title to St. Louis, while George Sisler of the Browns, annexed lhe .'unerican league clouting crown for the Mound City with the enviable average of .407 in 154 pastimes. , , ' : "I am basing my hopes of improving my batting average on my. experience last year," Hornsby continued, "and if that means ahxJjiing I should be able to show better fom at the bat, thanks to an innovation introduced by Manager Branch Rickey which has enabled all of our players to get three times as much hitting as the ordinary club. USED CAGES "Manager Rickey erected two batting cages in our. training camp this year. The cages are alongside each , other, while the two pitchers who are working are only about 15 feet apart.'. They do not interfere with each other and can pitch to two different batters simultane ously. The same goes for the two bat ters who are swinging at pitched balls in unison. In addition there is. the regular home plate on the home, field where the third squad of hitters can be going through their practice without interfer ing with the batters and pitchers work ing in the cages. - One set of 'shaggers lnhe outfield can field balls for the lot. It . is because of this increased oppor tunity for batting that I believe I will again succeed in leading the league. . "Plenty of batting practice is the best thing and. of course, batting against all kinds of pitching. I don't believe a bat ter can get too much practice swinging on the ball. I know I never get my filL" . Hornsby has been playing third base for - Rickey in the absence of Milton Stock, who has been holding out. He may open the season at the hot corner and from all reports his work there has been just as effective as his playing at short or second.
