THE MORNING OREGOyiAX, TUESDAY, SEFTE3IBEB 29, 1903. - T STARS GRADUATE TO BIG LEAGUES Portland Loses Four Good Men From Ranks of McCredie's . ' Preparatory School. LAST GAMES OF SEASON Bearers Leave for Six Weeks in South McCredie Sends Out Good Players for Fast Company of Eastern Leagues. BT W. J. PETRAIN. The hall tossers have av-aunted to the California clime, and hereafter, at least for the next six weeks, we sit passively by he fireside, or the office desk, and each afternoon brood upon the "aim ly told story of Henry Berry, of Portland's elimination from the championship unless but what s the use in speculating upon such a. remote contingency? Several of McCredie's star players of the season just ended as far as Port land Is concerned, are to be with us no more. Last Sunday Judge McCredie hid Bobby Groom goodbye. "Well, Bob by. I wish you luck and hope to see you make good, but If you don't I hope you come back to us," was the Van rouver jurist's parting Injunction to the lanky t wirier, who has been such a fa vorite here for two years, and those sentiments are echoed by all Portland fandom. Four Good Players Going. It Is the same with Raftery, with Danzig, with Tom Madden, each of whom has been selected to take a fling among the real baseball artists of the country a constituted in the American and National Leagues. The loss of four such players as Raftery, Madden and Danzig will leave vacancies that will prove hard spots to fill, but there Is one glowing feature to Walter McCre die's managerial ability, and that Is his splendid Judgment, or perhaps It is the Judgment of his friends, wherein he has Ihe knack- of picking up the most likely halltossers In the country. This has been evidenced by the large number of McCredie's Portland players who have graduated to the East, and practically all of them have made good. Former Players Make Good. Pat Donohue. Ijirry McLean. Mike Mitchell, Jakey Atz, Jimmy McHale, Charley Hartman and Bill Esslck are among the players McCredie has devel oped here and who have gone to the major k-aKues. The first four of them made good with a vengeance, while the last three are far frbm being mediocre players. The sevpn named above and the four graduating this season, bring McCre die's total to eleven. Henry Berry, lie of the self-Inflated opinion, cannot boast of such a record even though he may have sont as many players East. Out of Berry's squad only two remain In fast company. They are Cravath. who plays occasionally wiien eome regular Bostonlan breaks a leg or something like that, and Wild Bill Burns, the Washington twirler. Berry's Joke on Big League. This season Berry has succeeded in palming off Easterly as the player to be drafted, and by this means he has four flushed the entire major organization, for Easterly s only accomplishment is bat ting. Outside of that he Is' one huge Joke rs a player. That Is the reason the Angol leader has played him in so few games tliia season. Bums is a really great twirler. He Is a left-hander and one of the few pitchers f that variety who have shown class on .their initial appearance among the big fellows. Incidentally, he Is one of the very few Pacific Coast pitchers who have demonstrated their worth to the big leaguers In recent years. Last Stand of the Season. The final stand in California opens this afternoon with Portland playing Oakland at Oakland, and the Seals hooking up with the Angels at the Orange belt me tropolis. The fans of this city will prove loyal enough to watch the returns each day, but by far the greater interest will be centered In the magnificent struggles going on In the American and National Leagues. Detroit In the American, and New York in the National, are leading by slender margins, and In each league there are two additional clubs fighting strenuously to haul the leaders from their perches. It Is a grfat game, this baseball, and what would some of the bugs do if it were to be eliminated from the list of public enterprises? NATIONAL LEAGUE. "ew York 7; Philadelphia . NEW TORK. Sept. 2S. By defeating Philadelphia today. New York retained the lead in the pennant race. A bat ting rally in the ninth Inning gave the locals a clean cut -ictory, 7 to , but it was a heart-breaking effort at a crucial moment. The visitors tied the score and ran ahead of New York in the seventh inning, and things began to look bad for New York. In the ninth Inning, however, Shean fell in trying to get Bresnahan's pop fly and Bresnahan was safe. Donlln then smashed out a three-bagger, scor ing the catcher. Barry ran for Donlln, who had bruised his leg. Seymour, who followed, fent the first hall pitched Into deep center, bringing Barry in with the winning run. The teams will play a double-header tomorrow. Score: R.H.E.I R.H.E. I'hlla 13 4:Xew Tork...7 1S 2 Batteries CorrUlon and Dooln: Wiltse, MoOinnlty and Bresnahan. Umpires Klem and Johnstone. Postpones Game at Cincinnati. CINCINNATI. Sept. 28. To avoid the possibility of the game being thrown out on a technicality, the proposed game between Chicago and Cincinnati, which it had been planned to play to day, has been deferred until Friday, and there was no National League game In thie city today. The League constitution provides for the playing off of postponed games "during a sub sequent series." and. as the Chicago Cincinnati series will not properly be gin until tomorrow, the technical point was raised that a game today would not be played "during this series." The race being so close. President Hermann, of the Cincinnati club, decided to be on the safe side. AMERICAN LEAGUE. St. Louis 12-2; New York 1-3. ST. LOCIS. Sept. 28.

CAMERON DELAYS PROSECUTION Associates of Ex-Banker Ross, of Wrecked Title Bank, Not Brought to Trial. CHANCE FOR THEIR ESCAPE District Attorney Pleads Expense of Trial of Aitchison and Burkhart as Excuse for Delay Till . Ross Appeal Decided. Although convicted of juggling the public school fund in his bunco bank, by a Marion County Jury that deliber ated only one hour and 11 minutes, J. Thorburn Ross, president of the wrecked Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany, appears to District Attorney Cameron to have a chance of escape in the State Supreme Court; consequently Mr. Cameron will not now prosecute the associates of Ross Burkhart and Aitchison. All the machinery of the law and the evidence . are ready for prosecution of Ross' two confederates, the evidence against the two is just as strong as against Ross, the crime of the bank's looting goes unavenged, and Mr. Cameron says "wait." Ross was convicted on April 23 last. That is more than Ave months ago, and still Aitchison and Burkhart are no nearer the law's clutch than when on November 6, 1907, the bank fell, after such a carnival of high finance and money-Juggling as Oregon never before saw. Friends of Aitchison and Burk hart are bo happy over the situation that they are making predictions that they will never be prosecuted. Mean while the figures and papers proving their wildcat manipulations of money belonging to the state and to savings depositors 11 a waiting for .the District Attorney to take them up. Waiting Costs Money. The state's special prosecuting officer in this case, M. L. Pipes, is under fee to conduct the prosecution, and the state's expert accountant, J. W. Fergu son, draws $150 a month, while Mr. Cameron waits on the Supreme Court. According to ex-District Attorney Man ning, the prosecution ought not to cost more than $5000. Yet more than that sura will come out of taxpayers in fees and salaries entailed by Mr. Cameron's waiting. Instead of accepting the plain evidence on which the Marlon County Jury based its verdict, Mr. Cameron evidently expects the State Supreme Court to set aside the judgment against Ross five years im prisonment in the Penitentiary and a fine amounting to twice the amount of the school fund that was juggled, $2SS,O0O. On what grounds he bases this expecta tion is not known, unless on current street gossip. But in case the higher tribunal contemplates freeing Ross, it would seem more than ever incumbent on Mr. Cam eron to hurry the prosecution of Aitchison and Burkhart, in order to put up to the Supreme Court the verdict of more than one trial jury. 'The trials of Burkhart and Aitchison depend on the findings of the Supreme Court, in the Ross case," said Mr. Cam eron yesterday. "The same questions are Involved in their cases as in that of Ross and I feel it would not be judicious to entail the expense of trials for these two men when the higher court Is about to pass on the merits of the entire matter. "By November 1 I expect the Supreme Court will have passed on the case of Ross. Last week we received a brief of the arguments made on appeal. The state's brief will be filed within a short time. In the event Ross is found guilty It Is only to be expected that the others will plead guilty, and thus the time and expense oi an extended trial will be saved." The Title Bank failed November 6, 1907. Its affairs had been conducted in most flagrant violation of public trust and legi timate banking methods. They were ex posed in sensational sequence, lasting sev eral months. William M. Ladd. formerly one of the bank's directors, agreed to make good the liabilities of the institu tion, but this did not release Ross, Aitchi son and Burkhart for responsibility for the wreck. This bank had frittered away SS8.000 of the State's school money, be sides about $100,000 other money belonging to the state. District Attorney Manning indicted the three bank wreckers, and brought Ross to trial April 21, of this year, after the defense secured change of venue from Portland to Salem. Mr. Manning was succeeded by Mr. Cameron as District Attorney in July, since which time no move toward prosecution of the other bankers has been made. The Judg ment against Ross has been stayed by appeal to the Supreme Court. Mr. Cam eron says he does not expect the Supreme Court to pass on the appeal until No vember. STATE SOCIETY IS FORMED Association Organized and Officers Elected by Accountants. At a meeting last night of a number of the leading accountants of the city an or ganization to be known as the Oregon State Society of Public Accountants was formed.

Grease, paints and professional supplies at Woodard, Clarke & Co REFUSES LIGHT CONTRACT Milwaukie Council Will Not Enter Five-Year Arrangement. The Milwaukie Council has refused to grant the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company a five-year contract for lighting that town at the present rates, which are the same as those charged in Portland. The matter was brought be fore the Council through a petition of some citizens for three aro lights, which the company declined to install unless the town should grant a five-year con tract. Councilmen Streib. T. R. A. Sell wood and John R. Kelso opposed the grant, while Mayor Shindler and Coun cilman Matthews favored it. The opposi tion held that Portland had not yet given the company a contract for lighting the streets and would likely secure a reduc tion of cost, and Milwaukie would get the same reduction. Councilman Streib argued that if the town made a five-year contract it would be tied up for that length of time. This contract and the stock ordinance recently passed by the Council over the head of Mayor Shindler will be made an issue in the December election. Although Mayor Shindler said at the last election that he would not be a candidate again, matters are shaping themselves so that he may again be in the field for re-election, against his friend Councilman Phil ip Streib. The Mayor opposed the stock ordinance and favored the five-year con tract for lighting the city, thereby pleas ing a considerable number, but antago nizing others.
