NEW BASEBALL
 CHIEFS READY
 TO MAKE CLUB
McCredie and Richardson Have Made Many Big
 Men Tn Their Careers.

SEATTLE Dec 30.--Wo Oregon ians, Walter McCredie and James J. Richardson, will have a great deal to say about the handling of the Seattle club of the Pacific Coast Baseball League next season, McCredie having been named manager and Richardson business manager.
 Both men formerly were with the Portland club and made records for discovering and developing new play CTS, McCredie being particularly not ed for the shortstops he sent up to the big leagues.
 Among players sent to the major leagues from McCredie's team were Ivan Olson, Roger Peckinpaugh Dave Bancroft, Charley Hollocher, Mike Mitchell, Jack Graney, Larry Mclean, Stanley Coveleskie, Vean Gregg and others. This season Herman Pillette and Sylvester Johnson, both devel- oped by McCredie, went up for $40,- 900 and players.
 Richardson, it is said, found Harry Heilman playing on the sand lots of San Francisco, saw his possibilities and signed him for Portland Now Heilman is the leading hitter of the American League Carl Mays. the Bigbee brothers, Al Walters and oth- CTS were signed by Richardson
 While handling Portland McCredie won five league championships, his team of 1905 being considered one of the greatest minor league clubs ever assembled. McCredie has been fin baseball 26 years and for a few years played for the Brooklyn Ma tionals
 For two years Richardson has been manager of student athletics at the Oregon Agricultural College at Cor vallis, Oregon, and his departure was the cause of sorrow on the campus, for Jimmie as he is known through out the Pacific Northwest, did much toward putting o. A. C. on the ath letic map. besides cleaning up a big debt which was hanging over the ath- letc department
 When Richardson left o. A. c. to join Seattle the students presented him with a life pass to all athletic contests held on the campus. It was said that Richardson's pass was the only one ever given by the Aggies to any person not an ex-college athletic star,

DOUGLAS HIGH DEFEATS BOYS
 OF KETCH|KAN
49 to 19 Is Final Score oi Game Played at Douglas
 Nat Last Night.

Douglas High kept its record clean High School basketball team by a score of 49 to 19 in the game at the Douglas Natatorium last night In the first half the teams appeared to be quite evenly matched and it end ed with score of IS to 12 in favor of Douglas, but the last stanza proved runaway match for Douglas and a total of 31 more points were netted by them while the First City boys had to fight hard for seven points.
 Allen, by far the fastest man on the Ketchikan team, did not get loose more than three times in the second half. and his hurried shots were not effective. In the first half he was left unguarded several times immedi- ately after. the tip off and made three clean baskets. With him closely guarded in the second half, Ketchf- kanss offensive seemed to crumble, although Wakefield came in under the basket fast and made some good shots.
 In the first half Wells, the elongat- ed center for Ketchikan, was getting the tip off from center from Manley. but in the second it was more of an even thing and the Douglas steam roller started working and accurate basket shooting combined with great speed piled up the score.
 Four men were used on the Doug las offensive and of these Wiitanen was the most spectacular, making several baskets with difficult over head throws. Manley, acting as jumping center, fell back to . sta tionary guard position and broke up most of the plays that came his way Garn was in the lineup for the first time in several weeks and accounted for four field goals Manning played his best game of the season and he and Gallwas were tied with six field goals.
 Never Solved
 The criss-cross play, with short hard passes, worked time after time by the Douglas boys, was never soly ed by the Ketchikan team. With the exception of Allen, who is lightning speed of the Douglas players. but seemed to be well coached in the rudiments of the game.
 The game was fairly clean with about 10 fouls, about evenly divided among the players. Allen missed all his free throws in the first half, but threw three out of four in the second. Three points were also an- nexed by Douglas on free throws.
 The Natatorium Hall had one of the largest crowds in it's history

GUESS WHO IS TO GO AGAINST
 DEMPSEY NEXT
None Other Than Ferocious Fred Fulton of the State
 of Minnesota.
By HARRY NEWMAN

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Not standing all his shortcomings and the many upsets that Fred Fulton has suffered, it would not be sur prising if the big plasterer should be selected as Jack Dempsey's next opponent Fred has done some won derful backdiving in the course of his hectic fistic career, but when the rangy mudslinger gets off to a good start, he is rough.
 It has been suggested, and per haps wisely, that Fred has never been properly coached or handled. There have been times when the Minnesota giant would fight his way right up to within step of the championship and then some one would drop him into the wrong place, and blooey would go the whole works
 Of course, it is to be expectet that the mere suggestion that Fulton would be capable opponent for the champion will be scoffed at in many quarters, yet the fact remains that there are many who entertain the feeling Big Fred would be very likely to give Jack real argument. Demp- sey knocked the big Minnesotan out once in IS seconds, but that ought to be thrown out of the reckoning. Those 1S-seconds affairs are scarcely fair test.
 Tex Rickard is one man who still thinks Fred is a great fighter, even though the latter has been unset sev. eral times. Rickard is satisfied that if Fulton had been properly handled all along he would now be a cham pion. or close to it. It will no. be surprising if Tex sends Fulton anf Dempsey in for another go in Jersey City next July. As a matter of fact, the big promoter is seriously con sidering the project right now and if the match sounds feasible when the proper time comes, Fred will get that longed-for chance to cross arms with Dempsey once more
 Willard is out of the calculations altogether. Rickard has passed him up The Kansan has ignored Rick ards recent letter and now the pro moter has decided not to have any. thing further to do with the former champion.

BILLY MISKE IS AGAIN ON TRAIL
 OF MITT STARS
St. Paul Heavyweight Is After Matches with Greb and
 Tommy Gibbons.

NEW YORK, Dec 30.-Billy Miske. who was factor in the heavyweight class until he injured his spine. is coming to the front again. Before Miske had fully recovered his health and strength he mixed it up with Jack Dempsey. and that affair set him back still further. Of late the St Paul heavyweight has shown a return to form.
 Not long ago he soundly thrashed Bill Brennan and now he believes he is fit to tackle any of the con tenders for the title. Miske centers his attack upon Harry Greb. He says that Greb is all wrong to pre- tend that no one cares to face him. Miske has tackled the Pittsburger three times. winning twice and get ting a draw. in the other engagement. Now he wants to show New Workers that he is the master of the Smoky City boxer.
 Miske After Gibbons
 Miske also would like to take a crack at Tom Gibbons He declares he will put stop to the latter's winning streak if Tom will consent to meet him before one of the clubs here.
 When Miske was good he was a very capable performer. He pos sessed a little more skill than the average heavyweight and he packed wallop that was fairly hefty. He stood off Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey and beat the giant Carl Morris in way that indicated he would climb high. Then something happened to him that caused him to retire from the ring. for a year. Since his return he has been able to beat such second-raters as Brennan and Greb. but it is probable he will have to give up all hope of ever getting another crack at Dempsey.

PATH OF RED GOLD
T0AMERICAFOUND
Believe Heavy Shipments
From France We're Ex-
ported by Soviets.
tC) Underwood 4 Underwood.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2s.-Despite the
fact that TIE United States set its
face sternly and iuncompromisingly
against accepting blood-stained Sow
let gold from Russia, there is rea-
son to believe that many millions
have filtered into this country. via
France. T.
Figures have just been published
showing that upwards of $120,00o,-
600 gold from France has, come 10 the
United States since the first Of the
year. the larger part Of it within the
last two months. Meanwhile French
bank reserves have been practical
ly unaffected, despite these heavy
shipments.
Government authorities had in
formation in April that the Soviet
government at that time had about
$175, 100000. This has now dwindled
to $1,264.31 SO il Is apparent that
nearly all the gold has been shipped
out of Russia within the last four
or five months. 1t is understood
that the gold found its way first to
Sweden, Heavy shipments Of gold
came to the United States from
Sweden in April. May and June and
then fell off appreciabiy. At about
the time these began, to diminish,
the heavy export OF gold: from
France set in. In connection with
these facts Is the additional one that
big shipments of gold have been
made from Sweden to France In
very recent, months. ...
1t is1regarded as highly )signifi-
cant that the amount Of gold from
France. s17.o65.20l. ARRIVING in the
United States the first ten days in
August. bears close resemblance to
the $17,775.Sss. which was exported
by the Soviet government between
August Q and August 10. Bankers
believe that much of : the gold
brought into this country since
April, is from Soviet sources, al
though the Federal Reserve Board
has made 1t very clear that gold
seized by, the .Lenin regime is not
wanted in this country and the
Treasury Department. has taken
every precaution against accepting
the stuff. :
