SANTA MARIA, .Cal., March 25. Two
Beaver youngsters, Paton and Bro
gan. win be forced to remain out of the
practice traraea for the next two or three
days, at least, because of injuries. ,
raton was bit on the--mouth with a
fast thrown ball, and it required five
stitches to close the wound.. The star In
fielder has been going great runs of late,
and his injury may cause htm to lose
out, although Walt McCredie will give
htm ali the chances in the world to nake
good. :..V '
ritcher Brogan ran a sliver In his
wrist a couple of days ago and didn't
pay much attention to It at the time.
An infection has set in, and, although it
is only slight, -Doc" Melkle Is watching
it carefully to keep blood poisoning out
of the big Jloy's syBtem. He won't do
any twirling until Monday at we earnest,
unless it should develop that he is ready
to on the mound Sunday.
A practice game is tfft this afternoon
between the Beavers and a picked 'aggre
gation of Santa, Maria semi-pros., and
little difficulty is expected In scoring a
win, but it will give Manager Mac an op
portunity to give his athletes a chance to
work some of the inside etuf f on the
' boys. ... - -
Manager MeCredle held-a conference
with William Veeck of the Chicago Cubs
during bis three day absence from the
training camp here, and the big fellow
has been assured that help will be forth'
coming from the big leaguers before they
depart from California. An experienced
in fielder and two pitchers, one a left
hander, will be turned over to the Orego
nlans. It has been promised.
The date of release to the Portland
olub has been set for Sunday night.
Every effort to have Bill Essick waive
on Wes Klngdon has failed. The Vernon
team looks -weak around the second
cushion, and Manager Esslck is anxious
Vi nf V n trArT 1 1 th
McCredles feel that they have no more
use for the "native son." Esslck feels
that, with Kingdon in his lineup. It would
strengthen the Vernon infield consider
ably, despite the fact that Kingdon is
weak with the willow.
The series between the Beavers and
the New York Colored Giants will start
next Friday, instead of Wednesday, as
rlglnally planned. -
Billy Speas' Reglna club was scheduled
to appear in a double-header here Sun
day, but the two games have been can

THERE is no consolation today in Port
land for the "wise ones." Their fa
vorite, Jimmy Duffy of Oakland, fought
a gruellinjr 10-round draw with Earl
France In the main event at the Heilig
Thursday night tinder the auspices of
the Portland boxing commission. They
had considered him a 2 to 1 shot to win.
Many fans thought Duffy was lucky
to get a draw. One of the judges. Tom
Ross, gave France the verdict, while the
other judge. Ad Oarlock, called the setto
a draw. Referee Grover Francis sided
with Garlock. :,
Duffy is not the marvel his earlier
promise Indicated he would be. It used
to be predicted that he would become a
centipede or an octopus in flinging
gloves at an opponent.;
He is nothing of the kind. He has
developed into a very ordinary boy. His
judgment of distance would discredit a
blind man and his timing of his. punches
seems to be regulated by an eight-day
clock. He snaps his fast left out fre
quently enough,, but there is no telling
where it will land before it spends it
self. When it does land Itriaysting,
but it certainly carries no sleep with
it. He has got a good, sound right, but
he doesn't send It over often enough
to keep it in practice. Foil a boy who,
as alleged, couldn't be hit, Duffy was
a pretty target. France had his mouth
and ear bleeding in - the first round.
Duffy clinched every time he led, wheth
er he landed or missed, - . .
FRANCE DESERVES CREDIT
France deserves great credit for his
battle against the overrated Duffy. He
had stage fright at first, but after ha
had smothered this he made it interest
ing for . the Oaklander. r-4
Duffy demonstrated that he is not a
lightweight. He was unable to make
138 pounds at 3 o'clock In the afternoon,
and his forfeit of S3 00 for weight be
longs to France, if the latter wishes to
claim it Duffy's weight was given as
138 M. France didn't move, the scales
at 138. . ;. ; -- r : , j t j ' .-, -: .., -
WEIGHT WEAKENS BKEJiTOS
Billy Mascott drew a set-up in Jimmy
Brenton in the eight-round seml-windup.
Chairman Frank K. Watkins of the Port
land commission, had the fight stopped
in the eighth round to save Brenton
from needless punishment. At that time
Brenton couldn't hold his hands up and
his legs were making a mighty effort
to support . him. ; Brenton had , been
knocked down four or five tlmea in the
seven rounds, and how he weathered the
storm as long as he did was no credit
to Mascott. He came back in the fifth
round, after a terrific lacing, and ac
tually outfought and outboxed Mascott.
Brenton's seconds said he had weakened
himself by. taking off three pounds dur
ing the day to save his forfeit. He
looked like an invalid who should have
been propped up in bed somewhere tak
ing nourishment, and the seconds who al
lowed Brenton to attempt to continue the
bout should be severely censured. ,.
Two fights that more than compen
sated for the others were those between
Kddie Gorman and Baby Blue, in the
preliminary, and Ted Meredith and
Frank Pete, -W a six round affair, sand
wiched in the 1 card. : Gorman and Blue
put tip such a battle as is seldom seen
in any ring. .They boxed and slugged
In every minute of the four rounds. It
was called a draw,; although Gorman
appeared to be the better of the two,
The Meredith-Pete - scrap was ' also
called it draw, with Pete having a very
slight edge. Meredith's experience saved
him from the loser's end. Pete played
a tattoo on Meredith's heart - and
slammed his head . back time and again
with rights. ' Meredith always countered
In splendid style. The boys boxed like
old masters and put a snap and clever
ness in their punches that was a thrill
ing revelation for the fans. -'Bud
Fishery was virtually , outclassed
by another middleweight named Jack
"Midnight" Edmundson in it six-round
bout. - Edmundson looks like a good boy.
He hits terrifically with either hand.
He sent Fisher down for a count in the
third with a, fierce straight right to the
heart. After that it was easy for' him. .

best distance men began to bid for the
race. Howard recouped the junior
standing to some extent on the ninth

Reed in the Columbia meet Saturday,
negotiated a fast mile and gave Jones
a 400 yard lead over 'the juniors. Stone

NEW YORK. March 25. (I. N. S.)
Several ambitious young men caper
ing -about in Dixieland today In the liv
ery -of major league teams ; have won
their spurs and bid fair to twinkle on big
time. .. .' - i , .1 j. ;
The 1921 crop of rookies taken to the
Southland as unusually large, and in
fielding recruits were more numerous
than ever before. Happily for the lucky
managers, no less than half a dosen of
these youngsters have made: good, and
several give promise of turning out to be
stars of the first magnitude. : - .
MITCHELL MESTIOED j
The Tankees and Giants were among
the lucky teams, as both will bloom out
In April with new faces on their Infields.
The Tanks appear to have landed a cork
ing player in Johnny Mitchell, who came
up from Vernon and cost Colonels Rup
pert and Huston much in cash and play
ers. Mitchell is a probable .270 hitter In
the American league, and can field and
throw like a demon.
, Goldie Rapp. new third baseman of the
Giants, is a player of sterling calibre,
has made good . already, so McGraw
doesn't regret that he had to hand over
a pretty penny to St. - Paul for Goldie,
who was the star of the American as
sociation last season.' .. , ":
BOHXE 00318,
Other young infielders who seem sure
to stick are Sam Bonne, from Seattle,
who Is now third-basing for Patrick Mo
ran's Cincinnati Red Legs; Bill Gleason.
from Chattanooga, - who looks- good - to
succeed Joe Gedeon Its second baseman
of the St. Louis Browns, and " George
Torporcer, Brooklyn, and Lotter,-who is
keystone sacking for the Cardinals. Tor
porcer, by the way, is a spectacled player
like. Lee Meadows, but his specs don't
seem to hinder him, . "
Strange as it may seem, both Cubs and
White Sox will come out with revamped
infields, - and both will have new first
basemen.' Right'now it appears tbat
Karl Sneeley, from Salt Lake, has the
first base job for the White Sox in his
hip pocket, and Thomas Whalen, a Bos
ton semi-pro., looks sure to nab the shoes
left vacant by Fred Merkle. Whelan Is
an - ex-collegian. He played : at Notre

is said to be a snappy player." : -

Paulette, according td a decision an

commissioner of, baseball, admitted that
he borrowed money from an alleged gam
bler of SU Louts to bet on ball games,
and that he had later written a letter to
this man. asking ; for more money and
'Offering to cooperate with him.'? ' i-
Judge Landis, therefore, placed Paul

that he did so without their permission
or authority. !

: In announcing his decision. Judge Lan
dis said i i i
"Paulette admitted that he received
money from Elmer Farrar of St Louis,
as a loan,; which; he has not repaid ; that
this money Was given to htm by Farrar
some time after jan interview with Far
rar and another St; Louis man named
Carl ZorU. in which interview Farrar
and Zork urged Paulette to cooperate
With" them in crooked gambling on ball
games to be thrown by this player, '
"Subsequently,? Paulette wrote to Far
rar, asking for jmore money, which he
did not obtain, ! In this letter, Paulette
mentions the names Of two other ball
players, . whom he claimed he could get
to cooperate with him. In his statement
to the commissioners. Paulette denied
absolutely that he had any justification
whatever for thus using the names of
these players, and asserted that, so far
as he kneyv. they were honest men. ,
KETER "THREW" (JAMES -
"Paulette denies that he has ever
thrown any ball games, and asserts that
during the last playing season he held
himself aloof from corrupting associa

fered to betray his team and that he put
himself in the vicious power of Farrar
