"Hap'' Myers, first based for the Braves In 1913, wandered into the Boston clubhouse 'in 'the middle of the 1913 summer wearing a necktie that had all the colors of the rainbow and 18 additional ones. Manager George Stalling, the most auperttitious man in baseball, saw Myers eater, saw the necktie, and 'nwsrly threw a fit. Then he hustled off into the presence of owner Jim Gaffney. "I've fbund the jinx I've found it," gasped Stallings. "You have?" countered Gaffney, who was as much interested in finding the Jinx as was Stallings.

The Braves wre in the throes of a long losing 'Streak and. Gaffney was disgusted with the team. "Yes, I've found it; that Hap Myers Is wearing it- But he's worn it for the last time." "What is it?" "That necktie of his that horrible looking sight, that he drapes down from his collar," snapped Stalling. "No wonder we can't win. No wonder we are Jlnxed.

That necktie would anybody. But I'll fix it." Chlses Him Into "TJnie." Stalling went back to the clubhouse. Myers was there alone. The other players already were on the field in uniform. "Why aren't you in uniform?" Stallings at Myers.

"1 got a sore arm, boss, and I'd like to be excused from "You Hop into your uniform, and if you ain't in it in -five minutes I'll bust your nose!" snarled Stallings. Myers was in uniform within four minutes. "Now get out into the field," was i Stallings' comment. Hardly had Myers let the clubhouse when Stallings nabbed that necktie, rushed out with It and found a street urchin. "Here kid," said Stallings.

"Here's i a necktie and a $1 bill. Drop the net k-tie into the bag and keep the $1 for yourself." Stallings was back on the field a few minutes later. Myers came up. "Boss" I'm not trying to soldier honest I ain't," he said. "My wing is on the fritz.

Hurts like blazes." "Oh, all right." said Stallings. strangely kind and lenient. "You're through for the day. Hap. Hope your arm is all right tomorrow." Myers hiked for the eluulfouse.

Fifteen minutes later he rushed back to the field partly dressed in his street clothes. Yelled Robbery. "Hey, you, Stallings; I've been robbed robbed, 1 tell you:" yelled My- ers. "Quit yelling and tell me what I you've lost," said Stallings, suppress- lng a chuckle. "Lost? Who said lost?" wailed My-.

ers. "I tell you I have been robbed robbed robbed robbed do you get "Of what?" "My necktie the best necktie I ever had. There wasn't a necktie in Boston to equal it. I thought more of that necktie shut tip," commented Stallings. "What's the use of yowling about a necktie especially such a necktie.

You're lucky, you weren't pinched wear- ing "That wns a good necktie." retorted Myers! "A darned good one, if you want to know. It cost me $2." "All right, charge it up to the club and make the price $3," responded i Stallings. "It's worth that much to get rid of it." The Braves won the jeame that day and Stallings sought out Gaffney and tald: "Told you so. didn't MYERS NEW NECKTIE 1 4 -1 II fT'' 1 1 ii f'i? ill II 'H 7 1 1 TOO SMALL FOE DETROIT TEAM Jennings and Navin Find That Catcher Is Exact Opposite of Up to the time that Hugh Jennings came to town a few days' ago, there was a chance that Walter Schmidt, brother of Charlie, and a catcher on the fcan Francisco club, might be added to the Detroit roster, says a Detroit scribe. The local membership has the privilege of purchase, for i immediate -delivery5, and.

as ifr can usu one more good backstop, ha holding the matter in abeyance.1- When Jennings and NaVin went into conference, the Schtnldt matter came up. Neither hai ever seen the player, and neither -fiad ever thought Ao pay much attention to, th. matter and age. had the-figures oft hi a batting mnd fielding, had all sorts of boosts for the boy. and knew the older brother was a husky and a horse for Work.

Looked Up-the Dope. They sent for the dope sheet, and It was decided that the man ttiey had been tipped Off to as a promising young catcher is, according to his own statement. 28 years old. That may mean 30, as ball players, like firemen and policemen, are economical with the years after they get up toward the mark given. Beyond this, they found that Hchmldt Is only five feet seven Inches tall and weighs but IStt pounds.

That gives him but an inch in height and about ten pounds' weight on Bush, and explains, probably, why, despite the showing the youngster had at-ways made In ffie minors, where ha has been for Six seasons, he has never made the big grade. Both Cleveland and the Athletics have owned him, but neither gave him a trial. Schmidt, from the dope given, does not distantly resemble Charlie, who is of fair height, and of pretty good bulk, most of it brawn. Also, the younger Schmidt is something of a speeder, which Charlie is far from being, and stole 51 bases in 122 games. He hit but .202.

Hitting was one of the things Charlie did best. American Canoeists Invite Canadians The American Canoe association invited the Canadian organization to hold their annual regatta this year at Sugar Island, in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of the American association, instead of holding the Dominion ol Ohtiucla races in Toronto. Action will be taken at the annual meeting of the latter association in Ottawa next May. C.Schwab Donates Field to Lehigh Boys Charlfs M. hwab of the Bethlehem Steel Works, Bethlel'em, where Lehifch university is located, has donated a plot of eight acres of ground which will be turned into a modern athletic field.

The land cost $20,000.

He was the best fielding first baseman in the league. Sloan played with Nashvicile of the Southern league. He batted .300 and fielded .949.

TannehUl Heads Seraphic Trio. Lee Tannehill, who played with the Minneapolis American Association team, last season, Buemlller, who was shortstop of the Louisville team of the same organization, and Outfielder Meusel of the Elmira, New York State league team, were the players secured by Los Angeles. Buemlller will be griven a tryout against McMullin for Ernie Johnson's berth. He batted .238 and fielded .934. Tannehill is an ex-major leaguer.

His batting mark last year was .274 and his fielding mark .946. Meusel was with Los Angeles a couple of seasons ago, but was shipped east. After seeing him in action in the California Winter league, Dillon decided to give him another tryout. Happy Hogan of Venice believes he has plugged one of the holes in his infield by securing First Baseman Jack Gleichmann of the Baltimore team of the International league. Gleichmann hit .288 and fielded .986 last season The other player signed by Hogan is Pitcher Roy Mitchell of the St.

Charles Smith, the veteran twirler who was released recently by Roger Bresnahan, manager of the Chicago Cubs, will be given a tryout with the ga.n Francisco Seals, and Manager oiBiiaeuBmp or ine salt -LHKe team has purchased Pitcher Bert Hall from the Vancouver team of the Northwestern league.

A. Cronin. i Professional hockey has taken sdeh a hold in PortlAndthat It to become as popular In ivltiter as baseball is In tumnier. The Canadian game is, the most exciting that has been introduced in Portland, but 1teTceeps one at such a high pitch that it is doubtful if the public, for its own nerve benefit, would desire to see more than one or two games a week all season, to say jthir.g of the ability of the players to withstand the gruelling scrimmage more than twice a week. The thousands of sport loving people of Portland who have been educated to the great Canadian game will see the season close this week with much regret Victoria plays here Thursday and Saturday nights against the Rosebuds ara then the players will bid goodbye to the fans until next year, unless an team from the National KocTcey association tours the Pacific coast It lieu of the championship of the" world series between the winners in the two leagues, whica appear to be Vancouver and Ottawa.

The Ottawa club, it is understood, will refuse to come to the coast to play for the Stanley cup. With the closing week in Portland it is fitting and proper to pick an all-star hockey team from the' players in the Pacific Coast league. Whether this team would be superior to a similar team the eastern major league oould only be determined by a eeries of games, but it would easily beat any other combination selected from the Pacific Coast league. Lehman Kingpin of Goal Men. Lehman without doubt Is the kingpin of the goal tenders In the Coast league.

He lias been a tower of strength to the Vancouver club and had it not been for his exceptionally good work in. Grabbing off impossible bhots, the Vancouver club would bedown in the cellar position instead of leading the leagu e. Both the Portland and the Victoria clubs have always bombarded the Vancouver net guardian from all angle tut ho has proved equal to the majority of occasions and when his net is in danger he is like a cat. It is an ordinary thing for him to leap from one side of the net to the other and kick the puck while he is still in the air. His stops are phenomenal and any time a shot, gets by him it is usually one which is well earned and from close in.

All goal tenders have their off-nights the same as any other ath lete in different branches of sport, but Lehman seems to be covered with horseshoes for luck. During the present season he has had one bad night and the locals beat the Vancouver puck chasers 10-4, but even at that ecore his goal tending was remarkable and what would bo considered a good night for the average net guardian would be a poor one for him. Mitchell would be agood substitute for him. Mitchell has shown rare form for a youngster Just breaking into fast company. Portland was very lucky to secure a player of Mitchell's ability to defend the flags.

lie stops well and is very cool in action, the two most important requisites of i good goal tender. Lehman is, however, the one best bet in the league for the all-star team. Patrick Hover Quits. Lester Patrick, at vjeft defense, is a tower of strength. He is a big man, weighing 180 pounds and utilizes his entire weight to defend his goaL Lester is popular and good natured.

He is a good general and a capable leader, but somehow luck broke against ills team throughout the year, and this was the same septet that won the championship last- year. Patrick has been troubled throughout the year by weak underpinning, but in spite of that he has played a wonderful game. It was his great work that defeated the Portland, team last Tuesday jiight. He did it practically by himself. If Victoria this year had had six other men as good in their positions as Patrick is in his, there would have been nothing to the race.

He is not a spectacular player like some of the other defense men, but his work counts always. He is game to the core and as long as the game is going, Lester is there to urge his men on to victory. joiinson Without Equal. Johnson, the big defense man of the Rosebuds, is without equal as a defense player in professional hockey. He has played on the forward line and starred there; but from his arrival on the coast in 1911, he has been used continuously on the defense.

Since coming to the western arena of hockey he has been picked for the All-Star team every season, and this year he has kept up his good work, occupying the calcium in most of the games. Johnson is an exceptionally clean player bn the defense, and very seldom comes under the ban of the referee. Pie takes more" bumps and comes up for more oftener than any other man playing hockey This season he has not suffered veny much in comparison with other years. This year he has participated" in everi.game, although he has had the follcfwing list of injuries: A broken jaw, two fractured ribs, two stitches in right leg, two in the left axkle and a badly bruised thigh muscle. These little accidents did not stop th6 stalwart defense' man.

The fans are so used to seeing the "Moose star that when-' he plays an ordinary man's game they think he is having an off night. "Moose," at his worst. Is far superior to some defense men In the professional game at their best. The only game which he di not play last year was caused from a spike from the skates of an opponent, which ripped down(the ront of hlshln bone, necessitating 17 stitches to close the gap. He is ail grit, and to quit does not exist in 'his makeup.

He specializes in his famous poke check, which, breaks up many combination play. A favorite stunt of his is to get up speed pastimers added r. in at r. te ITHIRD FOR LOS ANGELES and, when approaching an opponent, slam the puck to the boards and skate around the man and recover it. This is a common trick with hockey players, but the average player plays the puck close.

Not so with the "Moose." He has the distance judged to a nicety, and will often shoot the puck againet the fence when he is fully 30 feet away. Instead of following the puck, he will continue his course straight down the ice, receiving the puck as it conies back, toward the center of the ice; The "Moose," when checking a man, usually skates backwards, meanwhile continually poking at the puck, and the chances are that he will capture it Taylor a Whirling Berrlsn, Fred "Cyclone" Taylor is the choice of the league for rover. Too much canpot be said about this whirling, turning. Jumping puck chaser. He is simply in a class by himself.

He can maneuver the puck In and out and dodge with all the speed of a Jackrab-bit. For the last three years Taylor has. always been near the top in the goal getting column. He handles the puck about twice as much as an ordinary player, not only in a game but in practice. It is not uncommon to see Taylor's teammates resting on the handles of their sticks watching Taylor circle with some fellow who does not know him, trying to take the rubber disc out of his possession.

Taylor, besides being a grand hockey player, is the idol of the small boy. One junior hockey player said he had a dream, and the dream was to the effect that he "was playing hockey ai eH the Cyclone was trying to catch him, but the Cyclone did not. have enough speed," so that youngster must have been traveling some. Taylor Is at the head of the Boy Scouts in Vancouver, B. C.

At a recent game Taylor Invited all the Boy Scouts to attend the game free gratis, if in uniform. Fully 2000 turned out in full regalia, and it was certainly a Taylor night. Von-couver defeated Victoria by a large score, and by all accounts, the rooting of Taylor's scouts got the Victoria team's goat. Maclkay Jumps Into Calcium. Mackay, the youngest player In the Pacific Coast league, has certainly earned a position on the All-Star organization.

He has jumped into the limelight, and right from the start of the season has made good He is a very tricky player around the -net, a grand little stick handler, and, what is more, is not afraid to take chances. When he gets, roughed up too much he has the grit to go back and give as good as he has received, but be plays a clean game, and, as one of his opponents stated, "It was a shame to hit him, as he is such a clean player." No matter how clean a player is, though, he will often come in for a lot of and a man who oomes back for more is the player who will prove successful. Against the Portland team Mackay has not shown up to the advantage he has against the Victoria seven, but any man who has Captain Oatman of the Rosebuds watching him will "have to be mighty fast to get away. Mackay has not yet been able to cast a ballot, and will not be of age until 1917. If he keeps oh Improving as he has done since joining the Vancouver squad, he will be the same sensation to hockey as the leading baseball star to the national game.

Ha is about 5 foot 8 Inches in height, and weighs 145 pounds. He Is very fast on skates, and his bet asset is that he has not allowed hs head to grow with Ms success. This makes him a 1 popular man with his teammates. The enly oiher player who can be recalled s. making an All-Star aggregation thi first year in fast company is Ran McDonald of the Rosebuds.

Ran in hit first year 6n the Coast was the speed ball of the league. Oatman Best Playing Hockey. Eddie Oatman, the sturdy captain of the Portland seven, is the unanimous choice for the right wing position. He is considered by many the most valuable forward playing hockey. A short time ago President Patrick of the Coast league Stated that In his estimation Oatman waa the best man playing the game today.

He is of the aggressive type. He never knows when he is beaten, and keeps boring in all the time. The right wing has been his regular position, but he has been used in the center Ice on account of his goal getting ability. Oatman is not what would be called a speedy skater, but he can travel at a fast clip, and, coupled with the weight he packs, is a hard man to stop outside the defense. Oatman shines around the net.

He will set himself in front of the basket, and if the puck gets anywhere near the net Oatman has the power In his arms and shoulders to force himself into a position where he will be able to have a little fun by making the goal tender keep on the move in guarding the net. Backchecking is also another forte. He is a tireless worker, and keeps traveling up and down the ice throughout the full 60 minutes of play. Oatman played with Quebec before coming to the coast, and that club's motto, hung high in the clubhouse, is -3 MINOR BASEBALL 65 Representatives of the Christian Brothers Business college, Homes Business college. North Pacific Dental college, and the law department of the University of Oregon, will meet in the near future for the purpose of organizing a baseball league.

It is expected that the Behnke-Walker Business col lege and the medical department of the University of. Oregon will join the league. The sporting department of The Journal is desirous of securing the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the managers of the local baseball teams. Information regarding the lineups of the teams is also desired. The West End baseball team defeated the North Portland team at Twenty-fifth and Raleigh streets yesterday morning by the score of 8 to 6.
