A oe AUS i ‘ i Travie Davis Lucky to Get Draw With Portland Boy; Casey Beats Houck BY LEO H. LASSEN Out of the horde of welterweights that the Crystal Pool last night, Billy Wright, champion, put up the best exhibition of the night when he beat Jimmy Storey in the semi-windup—and that is a lot, because it was a rare bill of swat that troduced to the fans last night. had everything last night, but his portside mitt, he used as a piston rod, painted Storey’s nose about second round and found its mark on Jimmy's beak whenever Billy chose to start it. | A couple of times Jimmy rushed into Wright and landed | couple of effective rights and one left, but that was the damage he did during the six rounds. Jimmy tried box “Wright and made a serious mistake, because Billy's stood him well and at the end of the six rounds as on the short end of the decision for the first rformed at former Coast the demonstration that Travie Davis put up in the , we can’t figure out how Davis ever held Wright wis, who holds the Coast welterweight crown, was lucky to get a draw with Alex Trambitas last night. little Portlander copped the first two rounds handily, him did all his left on Davis much as Wright did in the bout Davis did a lot of near wrestling, but Tram- the clean punching in the early going.

Seattle was fooled by so many ball players turning out to be quinces last year that it would be well for the local baseball man- agement to be mighty sure that they aren't being handed any gold bricks in tho line of players this year. For instance, take the case of Ray Bates, former Lon Angeles infielder. Bates came back from France last year and hardly had a chance to get into con- dition for the Angels, He was just sent out to the Los Angeles outfit for » trial and Seattle grabbed him from the Athletics in the Bighee deal, But it seems as if Los Angeles had already turned him back to the Athletics before the Seattle club annexed him. Bates’ hitting was good on this field, but his throwing was ter- rible last year, and » smart baseball man like “Red” Killefer ian’t letting any good prosprets get away from him while he ts con- scious, Seattle fans don't want to get all excited about Bates un- ti) he shows he can deliver again like he did a couple of years age. And then there's the case of Hoa Murphy. Marphy was due was put thru with Seattle. They say down South that Rod's dogs are on the bum. Murphy looked pretty goed up here, but Oak- land is not letting » player of Murphy's caliber go unless there is something wrong with him. This will be all the for today. | a Prexy Kiepper te home ‘rom the East with a promises for the coming year. He made a mighty good Fast by lining up Kopp, an oatfielder; Geary, a pitcher, Bates, aforementioned infielder. What he has up his sleeve undoubtedly prove interesting. The Seattle pitching staff, which didn't look Weague staff a-tall lang year, will have to depend whether Harry Gardner, the big right-hander Sacramento cinb in the Malls’ trade, can deliver kind of stuff that Geary, the man from the Athictica, Gardner was one of the best E : : teil elaliie SH ‘The fact that Harry Wolter, the to the locals for Pete Compton, is just about men’s home is the only drawback to the deal which was com- yesterday, Wolter is still a great fielder and hitter but hasn't Compton's youth. Just why Bill Redgers’, the was willing to put over such a deal unless Wolter was real cleanup hitter, something that we distinctly lacked all Inet year, Wolter amcshes the ball hard and should bat over .300 here. That right field fence should look good to Harry, who sticks from the portside of the plate. We are still wondering about that Seattle catching staff. Neither Pete Lapan or Ed. Sweeney will be back for mask duty, It isn't the easiest thing in the world to line up good catchers at this Inte day, but here's hoping that Prexy Klepper gets a couple of good receivers because good catching is absolutely necessary to any club, Les Angeles will present an almost entirely new infield next year, Jack Fournier will be missing from the first base station; Cart Crandall is hardly a Coast league second baseman; Nichoff's legs are about as dependable as a banana peeling in a balancing act and Fabrique Is just a fair shortstop, The rest of the Angels will be back undoubtedly with Killefer, Ellis and Crawford for the outfield. The battery men are all expected back, If BiN Piercy, the big Solon righthander, is turned over to the Vernon Tigers in payment for Bobby Meusel what a pitching staff those Tigers will have! Their mound corps won them the title last year. Piercy belongs to the New York Yanks and was turned over to them again at the end of last year. Take a look at this staff: Piercy, Finneran, Dell, Mitchell, Dawson, Ross and Houck. Oh, boy! Ruddy Kallio, former Northwestern league performer, who was with Detroit In the American league last year, and George Cunning: ham, another 1919 Detroit player, have both been turned over to Portland in part payment for Portland players turned over to the Tigers, Both Kalllo and Cunningham are right-handed twirlers. Kallio should make a go of it in the Coast league next season. Canningham has been with the Tigers for a couple of seasons, graduating from the Southern league. “Red” Oldham, who was Portland's best twirler last year, should make good with the Detrott squad this year. Oldham has overything that a lefthander needs—control, brains, speed, curves and a world of nerve, And take It from us, “Red” swings one mea), stick at the plate, Your Patronage Appreciated Pay Checks Cashed TORREY & SEARS’ BILLIARD PARLOR Will be the great sport out at the Green Lake traps Sunday, Clay pigeons will prob ably be the best bird that some of the bunch will go home with but then—think of the fun in smashing them.
