Says "Con" Mack
Manager Connie Mack of toe Athlet

narlng Frank Walker, the eenter
flelder. who Is to start ln that sport
for the regulars. Frank Is makiif
Bis second bow to major leagne ball
clubs, for be was with Detroit for IS
or minntes several years ago.
Frank, after his release by the Tig
ers, went to PorUand In the Coast
leagne and tben was sold to Borky
Monnt, N. C where Davis stumbled
across blm when seontlng for his old
erony. Mack says that he oaght to
be a second Trig Speaker, beeaase of
Frank's uncanny ability to size op
the spot whore the ball will land.
He's a natural fielder, said the
skinny strategist, "and handles him
self like Hpeaker. I mean by that he
seems to knew where the ball Is
going and while he does not appear
to travel fast he gets over the ground
like a flash.
"If he only romti throngh and hits
he looks as If he took a good cut at
the ball I'll have one of the sweet
est outfielders that has ever basted
Into a major leagne box score for
some time."
Club Plans
For Big Year
On Diamond
JJY MEANS of issuing season tick
ets at $1 each, Lyle Brown, chair
man of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club baseball activities, ex
pects to create a great deal of inter
est in the national pastime among
the club members. The tickets have
been placed on sale at the club, of
fice, but this does not mean that
they are not available for purchase
by non-members.
"I plan on staging quite a number of
games,'! says Chairman Brown, "and for
the price of a little more than one pro
fessional contest we will offer at least
four matches featuring .collage teams.
Holders of season tickets will be per
mitted to witness e'ery game in which
the "Winged M" is involved on Multno
mah field without paying any further
admission fee. l
COLLEGES TO PLAY
"Already I have been assured of the
appearance of the Orsron Argies. Uni
versity of Oregon and the North Pa
cific Dental college and I am in line to
secure a game with a famous amateur
team which la on a tour of the United
States. I have madt tentative arrange
ments with Camp Lewis and Willamette
university and efforts will be made to
have sorne of the college squads making
the trip through Portland to other
campuses stop over and play twilight
games on Multnomah field.
"Present prospects rook as though we
are going to have a great year on the
diamond but we must have the support
of all lovers of amateur baseball if we
are to be expected to bring outside com
petition to the club field. The number
of season tickets disposed of will deter
mine how many teams we will be able
to bring; to the Rose City."
TWO GAMES TODAY
Two games are on the schedule for the
Sunday morning league today. Dick
Grant and his outfit will cross bats with
Eddie Sammons' representatives while
the first; game, billed to start promptly
at 10:30 o'clock, will feature Ray
Hempy and Charley Barton.
Colored Giants to
Play Regina Squad
Here Next Saturday
-
Portland baseball fans will get-their
first taste of professional baseball this
year next Saturday afternoon on the
Vaughni Street grounds, when Billy
Speas will Una up his Regina club
against the Colored Giants, which en
gaged the Beavers in two series at Pasa
dena. The contest is scheduled to start
at 3 o'clock. ; - .
Pitcher Ed Zink. one of the young
twirlers Manager McCredie had under
his wing at Santa Maria, will likely
pitch a part of the game against the Re
gina club. Zink is a portsider and has a
world of stuff, but lacks professional ex
perience. ,
Manager Goodwin of the Giants will
probably start "Rube" Curry, his 6-foot-4
hurler, against Regina. Brogan, the all
round star of the Giants, will probably
pitch Sunday's game against an all-star
aggregation of Portland players.
The Giants are composed of the stars
of the colored professional league. Mc
Nair. Moore and Brogan were members
of the i troop team that the Beavers
played in Honolulu in 1916.

Major Heads
Expect Big
Season in '21
yITH the baseball pennant races
of 1921 opening next Wednes
day, the presidents of both big
leagues look forward to one of the
best seasons in the history of the
game.
In a statement prepared for the United
News, President John Heydler of the
National league declares the game was
never in better shape, and with public
confidence In the integrity of the sport
firmly established, looks forward to an
"era of baseball progress along sound
and wholesome lines."
President Ban Johnson of the Ameri
can league, in a similar statement, pre
dicts the race -in his organisation will
be the most open in the history of the
leajrue."
The statements follow:
By John A. Heydler
President of the National Leacne
New York. April 9. The National
league will begin its forty-fifth cham
pionship season under most promising
auspices. Here and .there our teams
report that they have suffered from ac
cident or failure of players to report
These setbacks, however, are of purely
a temporary nature and will be more
than offset by the fine lot of young
players who have Jumped into promi
nence during the training season and
who look forward to holding their
places in the regular team lineups.
With fair weather, we will have big
opening-day crowds, and. despite busi
ness depression, we anticipate no dimi
nution in interest or attendance through
out the season.
The game itself was never in better
shape. The .enforcement of : drastic
measures to stamp out crookedness and
the strong attitude taken by our new
independent form of government, in my
opinion, has fully restored public confi
dence in the .integrity of the national
game.
With this firmly established and with
the new laws enacted in nearly all our
leag-ues to safeguard its players from
fraud, we can look forward to an era
of baseball progress along sound and
wholesome lines.
By Ban Johnson
President of the American League
The American league race will be of
unusual interest this year. It is my
conviction It will prove the most open
ewnt in the history of the organization.
There has been a change in the lead
ership of four , clubs and a notable re
alignment in the league.
With me prestige of an American
league championship and world's series,
Cleveland, under the leadership of the
peerless Speaker, seems to have much
of an advantage over the other con
tenders for the pennant, v The loss of
Chapman may ultimately prove a seri
ous handicap.
New York, with Us array of batting
strength, is conceded high rank ; but
St. Louis. Detroit and Washington must
not be underestimated when we weigh
the facts that they will be guided by
new, skilled and ambitious managers.
The numerous victories ; of Connie
Mack's Athletics over the New York
and Philadelphia Nationals in the South
this spring would encourage one to be
lieve that that downtrodden tribe would
claim a place in the sunlight this sum
mer. Keen interest will center around Ty
Cobb and his Tigers. We know that
Detroit's new manager has the skill
and daring of leadership, and. If pa
tience is not lacking In the handling of
his men, then his success is assured.
What Gleason may accomplish with
the rejuvenated White Sox Is a prob
lem. It is to be hoped the patrons of
the sport will accord him loyal and un
faltering support In bis difficult as
signment. ' -
But above all things it is a cherished
hope that every player, manager, um
pire and owner of the American league
will enter the championship race this
year with the single thought and pur
pose of . making it an Ideal ! contest
pleasing to the public and free from
any blemish that might tarnish the
good name of our national game.

Drastic Trap Rule Adopted
xk k .. n ,s 5 .
Handicap System Is Changed
AMONG the rules which appear In
the Registered Trapshootlng booklet
for 1921. the one which has developed
the greatest amount of discussion pro
vides for "Contestants without an aver
age' under the standard handicap and
classification system. This rule reads :
"If, ... a contestant has not shot at
the required 1000 registered single tar
gets, in either one or both of the two
years, then, in handicap events, he shall
stand on a mark not nearer than 20
yards distance from the trap : and, in
classification events, he shall shoot tn a
class not lower than class 2 (where there
are five or four classes), and not lower
than class 1 (where there are three or
two classes.)"
MAY USE SYSTEM
In the first place, it was not the in
tention of the general committee to com
pel the use of the standard system at
registered tournaments conducted by
clubs, leagues and special organizations,
or at any registered club shoots. Where
It Is stated in the blue book, "it has been
ruled . . . the standard system shall be
enforced." it -was the intention to say
"It is suggested . . . that the standard
system be enforced."
On the other hand, it was the inten
tion of the general commute to 'compel
the use of . the standard system at the
championship tournaments, sanctioned as
such and conducted under the direct
management of a representative of na
tional or sons headquarters. In other
words, the standard handicap and classi
fication system in its entirety must be
enforced at 'the state and zone cham
pionship tournaments.- and at the grand
American handicap tournament
COJfDITIOKS AXD RULES UNIFORM
State and zone tournaments are regis
tered by the A. T. A. in order that resi
dent affiliated amateurs may compete
for the state and rone championships at
a given time and place and under con
ditions and rules which are as nearly
uniform and equitable as it is possible
to make them. It is assumed that each
amateur sportsman who enters the
events at a state or zone tournament
hopes that he may win the singles, dou-'
bles or all round championships, may
become a member of the fjve-men cham
pionship team, or may win the handi
cap event.
The registered club shoots, and even
the registered tournaments held by clubs,
leagues and special organizations, af
ford opportunities for trapshooters 'to
practice at official targets. But when
a man enters a championship tourna
ment, he does not, or should not, go
there for the purpose of practicing, or
for the mere enjoyment of shooting. It
is expected that each entrant In a cham
pionship shoot is determined to win-
at least, make the best score possible.
ABILITY TO COUIfT -
Obviously, there are trapshooters who
practice .diligently and yet find it im
possible to break the number of targets
required to win a championship. It is
right and proper that an effort should
be made to reward these contestants in
Diamond Sport
Opinions Differ
By "Pete" Carney
BASEBALL is a wonderful game, pos
sibly the greatest, of all sports, but
baseball as It is played today is consid
erably different from the game as played
30 or 40 years ago. not so much, howev
er, in the way it is played on the field
as in the implements used. -i
Back in what some people long to term
"the good old days," the catchers didn't
wear, masks, chest protectors nor have
mits to stop the fast ones, nor did the
infielders nor outfielders wear gloves,
but don't think for a minute they didn't
have : some real ball players in those
days. They did. We rave about Cobb.
Speaker, Ruth, Sisler and other stars
of today, but those who remember the
players of years ago wax just as enthus
iastic about Radbourne,. Kelly and
others.
Recently we attended a dinner In New
Haven. Conn., given in honor of "Ty"
Cobb and "Chief Bender. One of the
guests was Arthur Irwin- I 'don't know
how eld Irwin is, but I think he played
on the first baseball team organized in
the United States. If be didn't play oi
the first it was on the second team.. Ir
win has seen them all play-; he has spent
all his life in baseball (this year he
will manage the Hartford club in the
Eastern league), and he is strong for
the old time players and he wants to
tell the world that Charley Radbourne
was not only the greatest pitcher that
ever- lived but also th! greatest ball
player.
I
accordance with the degree of skill dis
playedclassify them so that they may
compete for trophies with men their
equals in skill. Then how are we to
arrive correctly at a man's class? This
can only be done by using his average,
based on past performances at official
targets.
If that is the proper way and j the
majority of trapshooters agree that It is
then there must be rules to determine
"known ability."' Suppose, for example.
John Brown shoots at J 250 registered
targets and has an official average of
.8322, which, at the ptate tournament,
places him ln class 3. Edward Jones ap
pears at the tournament without kn of
ficial average, but his friends inform the
committee that to the best of their
knowledge and belief, he is only an .85
per cent shooter, and belongs In class 3.
THE WHY AND WHEREFOR
Brown, whose average shows that he
Is an 83 per cent shooter, , breaks 87 per
cent, thus indicating improvement which
entitles him to the reward in class 3.
But Jones, who ia, apparently capable
of breaking around 90 per cent, though
he hes no official average to indicate his
true ability, averages 92 per cent, tops
class 3 and carries away all the trophies
and'' the glory..
In aJl fairness, is Brown grettiiig a
square deal? He has practiced at of
ficial targets and goes to the champion
ship tournament expecting that he will
have a chance to win "in his cla
where contestants are classified. : But
Jones, an unknown, who has done little
or no practicislng, who has no "official
average." steps in and receives the re
ward to which Brown is entitled. x
In the distance handicap event. Brown
stands on the 16 yard mark, where hie
average indicates he oelongs. He breaks
90 or more targets, which would get
him a trophy, or a share pf the purse.
But there are ' a number of "Joneses"
who are placed on the 16 yard mark be
cause they have no official rating and
are not known.- They all break more
targets than Brown and he goes away
discouraged.
TO PROTECT REGULARS
Perhaps the standard system , may
keep beginners, and shooters without
an offiical average, away from the state
and zone championship tournaments. But
this is not the desire of the general
committee. By registering club shoots,
a way is provided for every man who
so desires to shoot at the required num
ber of targets before his state and zone
shoots are held, and he need not travel
away from his home club to get that
average.
Trapshootlng is doing what golf and
Other sports have done in endeavoring to
protect the "regular player" the man
who by reason of his diligence in prac
tice, deserves to be rewarded for any
improvement he may show over his
known ability. The standard handicap
and classification system in trapshootlng
really was formed to protect the medi
ocre shooter, rather than the topnotcher,
who needs no protection.
Has Improved
as to Players
Grantland Rice. Rugh Fullerton and
one or two more of us who did not
exist when Radbourne was heaving the
ball and batting 400, mentioned the
names of some present day stars that
we thought were pretty good, but Irwin
only smiled and said that they were
not good enough to carry bats for Rad
bourne. From this you will get an idea
of Radbourne's greatness. Billy Sun
day, the evangelist, is another who
loudly sings the praises of the old tim
ers. Billy was considered the speediest
runner among the ball players of 30
years ago. And Julian Ourtis rises to
ask "what player can handle infield
balls better than George Wright could
in the seventies." We don't know, we
never saw Wright in action. . j
THE FIRST OLOYE I
But you want to remember this:
Wright grabbed them - with his bare
hands, while the shortstops of the pres
ent day have specially prepared gloves
which aid them in their work. It is this
improvement in playing materials that
we started to write about before we
began to drift. So we go back again
to Irwin. In 1882 a small palm glove
made its appearance a kid glove, with
the fingers cut off. Three years later
Irwin worked out a fielder's glove very
much like the ones in use today and
brought it to the Spalding people. That
was the beginning of the glove industry
of today. ;
Forty years ago the catcher used
only a rubber mouthpiece to protect his

Northwest
Trapshoot Is
1st Big Event
OFFICIALS' of the Portland Gun club
are 'preparing the program for -the
annual trapshootlng tournament of the
Sportsmen's Association of the North
west, scheduled for May 7, 8 and 9. '
This is the oldest tournament in the
history of the sport on the Pacific
coast, and the various trophies nine in
all are considered' to be the most valu
able ever hung, up as prizes in a trap
event. . i .
The club leaders are working on a pro
gram that' will not keep the shooters, pn
the firing line from early morn till
evening. The number of registered tar
gets will be reduced sa that the various
handicap events can ; be shot off early
in the" afternoon.. j
Charles Dockendorf, regional managef
of the northern section of the Pacific
coast zone of the American Trapshoot
ers' association, is expected to "arrive
here several days before the opening of
the tournament to make arrangements
for the staging-of the shoot, ! which - is
expected to be one of the biggest of the
season.
Members of the Portland ' club have
been doing some excellent shooting dur
ing the past .couple of months. Charles
B. Preston, club president., i has the
longest run of the season, 133. The best
scores made to date are: 100 targets,
Frank Troeh, 99 ; 150 targets. - Abner
Blair. 148; 200 targets, C. B. Preston'and
O. N. Ford. 195. -

club. . L ,

Predict Track
Season Will '! Be
Banner Campaign
New York, April 8. (U. P.) Track
and field athletics will have the greateuu
season of history this summer. '
The Penn relays, the "intercollegi
ates" and the ' nationals." the , three
classics of the American track, will be
conducted on the most elaborate lines.
'The Penn relays will be almost a
miniature Olympics, with a strong in
ternational fjavor lent by the presence
of English, and French coflege teams.
The frames will be. much more repre
sentative nationally, also, as many in
stitutions, especially the United States
naval academy, will be represented for
the first time. ; 1 '
The appearance of the French team
promises to create as much Interest and
real' competition as the English team
that came over last spring and broke a
world's relay team record.
Andre, a hurdler, high Jumper and
runner, perhaps will be the most noted
member of the French team. He com
peted at the Olympic games and prdved
himself one of the moat versatile per
formers in the field. .
Intercollegiate competition will be
augmented this year by the first nation
al intercollegiate meet which . is to be
held after the Eastern intercollegiate
and Western conference and the various
other sectional meets. . '
The "national intercollegiates" Is the
idea of the University of Chicago which
will stage the event on June 11. It is
planned to have represented the Eastern
colleges, the Southern conference, Mis
souri valley. Rocky mountain. Pacific
coast. Western and. other conferences.
The national championships- likewise
will be conducted on more extensive
lines. Los Angeles will stage the; meet
early in July, The date is a departure
from the usual custom of holding the
meet late In the summer. I Ro.bert S.
Weaver, president of the AvlA. LT., was
instrumental ln having an early: sum
mer time set ln order to permit college
athletes to compete before . they have
broken training. i
teeth. Julian Curtis, for many years
treasurer of the American Olympic com
mittee, was a catcher in those days, in
a little Connecticut town and af terwards
at Yale, and no one knows or has fol
lowed the improvements - In baseball
more closely than Curtis. 'In a-recent
talk with him, I got a lot of information
about our national sport, i .
From him I ascertained that Jim
"Pyng of Harvard was the first player to
use a mask. .This was in 1878. .-This
mask was Invented by Thayer, then
captain of the Harvard" team. Tyng
refused to go behind the bat unless he
had protection for hi face, and Thayer,
who did not want to lose Tyng'a ser
vices, worked out the mask, ! Once again
It is proven that necessity is. the mother
of invention. Along about . the same
time the chest protector was brought
out. Improvements are being made all
the time. Gloves are better now than
they were a few' years ago, and- so it
goes.

Out of Game
ffjyro baseball player who Jumps
f" Portland for-any Industrial or
: Independent league will ever get
back, into professional baseball as
long as I have any connection with
the Beavers' declared Manager
Walt McCredie .in a recent confab
with a former. Coast leaguer, who
will manage one of the clubs In the
Mid-West Independent- circuit this
season.
"-'fEvery player -I hold title to can
jump if he. wants to. but you can-bet
that nary a one of them will ever get
my! consent to play in organised .base
ball again.".
McCredle's statement means that
neither Frank Juney nor Clyde Schroe
der, who jumped the Portland team last
year, will' ever be able to play in
coast baseball again. Juney Is a pres
ent playing with the Balinaa club, while
Schroeder. is somewhere in the North
west. , The Portland club gave Juney bis re
lease so that he could play In the
Mission league, but he Is still on the
ineligible list of the Portland, club and
when his suspension expires tn 1925 he
will have to dicker with Portland for
reinstatement. There In little likelihood
of any player who has been nut of the
ranks of organized baseball for a period
of five years ever becoming a regular
In the Coast or any other high class
circuit.
' The baseball club owners throufirhout
the country should take this same stand
on . contract and reserve list Jumpers.
Tbe sooner the better for the national
pastime,
