Dee. .1. Chicago's Cubs are to be wished upon the Paciilc coast fans asain next spring, for whispers whis-pers "waftlnR- from the Windy city have it thnt Owner Weeghman plans to train his elub once more at Pasadena. It is scarcely to be expected that the fans will Jump and kick their heels together and ;o Into fits of rejoicing, for the Cubs did not make much of a hit when they were in our midst last .March. But Weeghman is mfiking threats of money expending in an effort lo qather stars for his organ i.a-I i.a-I t ion, and it may be tba t he will bring out a crow really worth looking over. ; The plans include a stay of .not nvore t ban ten days a i Pasadena, and then a ; barnstorming trip through t ho state, in . which will be featured games with the Coast league clubs. Tn the games of last spring the Cubs did not. make much of a 'showing against, the Coasters. The first team looked as though it might possibly qualify here and finish in the second division, divi-sion, but the second team was so bad that when 1t won a game, it wajs because the other fellows took pity on them. However, Owner Weeghman has promised prom-ised to give the fans some relief next spring. He announces that there will be no second team. The Cubs are going to practice a little conservation on their own account and will not bring out tho usual big siiuad of hopeless bushers. Only the men who figure to bo regulars will maJie the trip, and it will therefore be the first team only that will be sent against the Coast leaguers. Two youngsters who have been making good in the semi pro ranks of southern California have attracted the eye of Walter Wal-ter MeCredie. manager of the Portland elub. AicCredle has not signed the lads up as yet. but (!' they continue to look good he will have them in the uniform of the club he is .guiding next spring. Cox. outfielder for Pasadena, and Me-Gaffey Me-Gaffey catcher for the Standard-Mur-phys, are the lads McCrodle is watching. He saw Cox In action and says he is the type of player that drives a baseball. TUcOredie says the type which was represented repre-sented by Cravat h and Crawford, Dele-hanty Dele-hanty and others is disappearing. McC.afVey, who is the second-string catcher for his team. Truck Hannah being be-ing '.he old reliahle. was recommended to McCredle by "Rube" Kvans. Ios Angeles Herald. Not content wi th starting rne rum-pue" rum-pue" which In nil likelihood will result in Portland skidding itself into a place in the Northwestern league, the Los Angeles An-geles writei-s are to the front again with a story credited to Walter Henry Mr-Credie, Mr-Credie, in which the Portland leader is quoted as saying that if he is at the helm of the Beavers next season and the Port-In Port-In nd franchise remains unmolested. "Babe" Borton will not be a member of , the Beaver team. j McCredie is quoted as saying that Bor-I Bor-I toil, w ho was out of the Beaver lineup last season about four months as the re-j re-j suit of a surgical operation, is d ue for a release, .provided lie (McCredie) handles ji he reigns of the Portland team. Walt I is supposed to have said Borton was a i flivver because he did not deliver. "W. IP j is reported as being a bit peeved because I Porton wn.s forced to undergo an opera-jtlon opera-jtlon at a lime when the Beavers needed his services most. I Another reason for the reported probable : releasing of Porton. -if it comes, is Art I Griggs. The southern Writers sav Griggs stepped Into Korton's shoes and pla ved ; beuer ball liian he ever had played in 'his life. There is no question but what ; Griggs played a great game, but he Is far from being the equal of Borton on first 1 base. ! The matter was called to Judge Mc-Credie's Mc-Credie's attention yesterday and the Portland magnate enjoyed a hearty laugh. "If Fortland stays in the Pacific Coast league, you can bet your bottom dollar that Borton will be our first baseman," said the. judge. "Any report to the contrary con-trary is camouflage. "Porton was slow getting started last reason, but he was hitting the ba1! in great shape when it beeanie necessary for 1dm to undergo an operation, which put lam out of the running the rest of the sea son. "We thought so much of Borton that w paid him his salary in full during the four months he was out of the game and' assisted him with his hospital and doctor bills, lie is a valuable man, and If we remain n the Coast league he will b Portland's regular guardian of the first sack. T thought p.-sibly that the southern newspaper men had run out of ammunition, ammuni-tion, but their rapid-fire attack on the Portland dub and Its own personal matters mat-ters shows they Iwvo lots of scrnp left m tnem. --ForLlnnd Oregonlaji. |
