Rather Be a Player
t t than :: ' : 1
Owner of a Ball Team
By P. B. Scott
rpROT, N. T May U.-rV. P.)
X Being the youngest : baseball
"magnate" In the world may have
. some compensation but John J.
Evers Jr., son of the pilot of the
- Chicago Cubs, would much rather
be rated as' a "regular fellow."
' It seemed Inconsistent to John's
playmates when he 4s only 11 years .
old that the distinction shouldn't
"swell" his head Just a little bit, but
- it hasn't, and he has convinced the
most skeptical of his acquaintances
"that h hasn't. It was almost neces
sary for John to use his little fists
to convince them, but they believe
him now, i .
John's father early this year -bought
a $5000 block of the stock of
the Albany baseball club of the
Eastern league. i He immediately,
transferred it to John Jr. and that's
how he jumped Into the class of
"magnates." - . ' m
The next day when Johnny went to
school and the facta became known,
he was greeted-in various ways, but
the most distasteful was to be told
that he now had a "swelled bead."
He tried to make the boys of La '
Salle Institute believe that they were
; wrong, using verbal : argumentta.
Some believed. Two or three others
didn't. So, John,. taking them singly,
invited them behind the school build- '
- ing,- where they would be out of
' sight and be used more, forcible
arguments. But the doubters be-
, lleved. I
- "I want to be a ball player it I"
can," John told the " correspondent,
! "and I also want to be a club owner.
But if I have to choose. I would
; much rather be a player," be con
cluded. ; . I

For! Titles
H r E. SPEIRS chairman of the
committee in ' charge of the
semi-final and final round for the
1921 championship of the Portland
Grammar ' School ; baseball league,
had planned on staging the last con
tests of the semi-final series tomor
row afternoon, but the first teams
in division one upset the dope.
: The four teams, t, Ladd. Williams,
Woodmere and Thompson, each won and
lost a game, and no matter how the
match comes out Monday afternoon a
post-season clash is necessary between
the two winners to determine which wins
the honor of meeting the winner of the
first teams in division 2. The division 2
schools have settled it so that either
Kerns or Sellwood will enter the finals.
The two stellar teams are billedto meet
Monday afternoon, probably on the
Franklin high grounds.
MONDAY'S SCHEDULE
The, second squads in division 1 are
led by Ockley Green with two wins and
no defeats, while Hawthorne holds the
same rank among the second teams of
division 2. Arrangements had been made
to stage the final game for the cham
pionship of the city between the winners
of the first teams in division, 1 and divi
sion 2 the latter part of this week, but
it looks as though it will , have to be
postponed untn next week.
The schedule for Monday afternoon In
all divisions calls for: Thompson meet
ing Woodmere, Ladd versus Williams,
Sellwood versus Kerns, Sunnyside versus
Alnsworth. Ockley 'Green versus Shat-
tuck. Arleta versus Vernon, Couch
versus Eliot, Hawthorne versus Glencoe.
Out of the 16 games played last week.
three of them were shutouts, all coming
between first teams in division 2. Coach
It." P. Cloyes' Kerns outfit copped one
of them when Sunnyside was defeated
8 to 0, while Sellwood took the othrr
two by trimming Alnsworth 7 to 0, and
Sunnyside 3 to 0. ; . .:

ican Legion team and familiarised him
self with basehall conditions there. He
reports considerable i enthusiasm over
baseball in the valley ' town, a large
crowd witnessing the Xiegion-Silverton
game. . ': - t .
Astoria, St Helens and Rldgefleld of
the National league of the Interstate
Baseball association : turned out fine
crowds for the games Sunday. It was
the opening game . in tne latter two
towns, while Astoria opened two weeks
ago to an1 excellent crowd, considering
the inclement weather. -
New ball grounds nearer the center
of town are being built in Oregon City
and will be ready for play by the end
of this month. With two teams this
year, one in the Willamette valley
league and one In the National league
of the Interstate Baseball association.
Oregon City fan will have one game
every Sunday, at least.
Fields Motor . Car company is still
running over opposition roughshod and
bids fair to make a record if they can
keep up the pace. Smith and the Simon
brothers are the mainstays of the team.
Sergeant Schuman of the United States
marine corps made his appearance hold
ing the indicator in the Fields Motor
Council Crest game last Sunday and
gave excellent satisfaction.
An odd play came up In one of the
Interstate ; ball games last Sunday at
Sellwood park. The batter knocked a
hard hit ball which struck foul before
it reached first base and then caromed
over second base for a three base hit. j
Eddie Shockley, former wrestling In
structor at the University of Oregon, Is
holding the indicator in the games at
IN COAST COLLEGIATE MEET
of the Bushers
Astoria for the Interstate Baseball as
sociation and giving excellent satisfac
tion, according: to reports. . - Shockley
makes his home there, thus saving the
trip of an umpire from I Portland and,
at the same time, assuring a good um
pire on the job.
Qulssenberry, thm pitching ace of the
Eonermaa Hardware team of the Inter
state Baseball association is as good
as ever if we are to believe reports of
the : Honeyman-Oregon City game last
Sunday. "Quis." let the Oregon City
boys down with two hits for their only
run in the eightb. inning: With a good
season ; this year, Qulssenberry should
be ready to step Into league, bail soon.
Several of the teams have been out
this past week getting much needed
practice. The American Legion held
practice session on Multnomah ' field
while the Veterans of i Foreign Wars
went through - strenuous - practice on
Buckman field Thursday: night.' -
McCluskey, playing third base for the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, played a
stellar game against the Olds, Wbrtmaa
& King nine last Sunday, spearing a
number of hard ground balls with one
hand.. y
Woodlawn pulled a couple of fast
double plays on the Portland Woolen
mills team last Sunday j which were of
the sensational variety. : Catcher Sheely
was one of the pivots for both plays
and his headwork in each case was good.
"Buster" Nonkin caught two men off
third with soma neat work for one of
the doubles.
Portland Woolen mills has' a fine field
ing team, but showed lack of hitting
strength against Woodlawn, Golden get
ting three hits for the totaof the team,
besides playing a flawless game behind
the bat. Breaks of the game went
against the Woolen mills, but they will
look better with more practice.

JTOT TO CHA2TGE HOLES
A. C. U. Berry, chairman of the greens
committee, has given up plans of chang
ing the itinerary. It waa proposed to
change the numbers of some of the holes,
but. after due consideration by the mem
bers of the tournament committee, the
idea was dropped. The proposed plan
was to play the present seventh hole as
the second, the sixth as the third, the
third as the fourth, and so on until the
eighth was reached. It was thought the
change would relieve the congestion on
the wesent second hole, but tne danger
of crossing the railroad tracks was an
obstacle to the plan. - I
The tapering down on the cops on
many of the bunkers and the enlarging
of the countless number of them spread
over the course is going to make play
more difficult than in the past, j
IKTEBEST IS HIGH , i
Work of renovating the course Is rap-
Idly drawing to a close and by the
second week in Jane it will be virtually
completed. . - . ' !
Interest in the tournament is running
higher than in any previous champion
ship tourney. California will be repre
sented by more players this season than
ever before, and the entry of players
from Northwestern clues will surpass
that of all other events. -i
Reservations are being received In
large numbers . daily. Johnny Dreher,
veteran golf critic of the i Northwest.5
expects an entry of 288 in the men's
championship alone. The field in the

JESSE GUILFORD Is a very well
known golfer, a champion long dis
tance putter who has not yet quite
achieved what ' was expected of him.
When a man plays as well as Guilford
the general public usually thinks that
he should land the national title at once.
He was a semi-finalist in the national
amateur of 1916, and was then defeated
by Robert Gardner. He has done a
great deal of wonderfully fine playing
in Massachusetts and has won many
honors there. He Is a big, spectacular
player, and is said to be the longest
driver in the United States.
He has drawn a bye in the first round
of the British amateur, and in the sec
ond Is paired with Mr. Tolley, the Brit
ish amateur champion. That ought to be
an interesting match. I assume their
games are much alike, although I have
not seen Tolley play. They have both
big reputations for a fine long game.
Mr. Guilford Is a very silent golfer
and that should please our Britlst
friends. - -
Guilford Is said to have defeated one
of the Nelson brothers, professionals,
vejry decisively recently at Miami, Fla.,
a feat that shows his present golf form
and discloses that he played South dur
ing the winter and ought to be -in ex
cellent practice. : He was a logical candi
date for a place on the team and it Is
strengthened by his presence.

Will Battle
Jack Britton
JAVE SHADE, sensational Call
, fornla welterweight, will be Jack
Britton's opponent in the world's'
welterweight championship contest
to be staged under the auspices of
the Milwaukie boxing commission
June 3. The announcement thnt
Shade had been selected was made
Saturday by the Milwaukie commis
sion officials.
Shade, who was forced to cancel a bout
last, week with Johnny McCarthy of Han
Francisco, on account of Hlneufi. has re-,
covered and has already started training
for his chance at the world's crown.
Shade's rise In the pugilistic game on
the coast has been very ranld. His ef
forts in the Northwest have been crowhnd
with success. He has two victories to
his credit over Frankle Murphy, who
fought a draw with Johnny McCarthy
recently, a knockout victory over
Frankle Haynie and a 10-round decision
over Heinle Schuman. He also fought a
10-round draw with Travle Davis, who
is also going to get a crack at Britton's
crown In a six-round bout to be staged
in Seattle.
SHADE IS CLEVER
