' - - TITE MORXTXG.' OltEGOXIAX, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, I90& - - -- . . . i a PEACE MISSION PROVES FAILURE Coast and California State Leagues Will Go Their Several Ways. PRESIDENTS RETURN EAST JohnMin mil Pulllam I'nahle to Bring Bellls-ewits , To-relher. American Iraznp Says State Mn I Hi Not Want Peace. PAN' FRANCISCO. Iec. 21. (Spe cial.! The Pacific Oosst and Califor nia State Leagues will ko their sev eral ways. The ultimatum was de livered this afternoon after a ee.ssion held by rraut I.eaRiie deleKatef. They Tefuse.l absolute reinstatement to the three Maikllsted players, and Cy More Inur and Al Jnrman. of the independ ent organization, would not accept the terms that have already been made public. The independent delegates took their leave wtth the understanding- that the conference was closed and the Coast Leasue people will make their plans along those lines. Peace Milton a Failure. President Pnlltam left onKlt for the Kast and President Ban Johnson, of the American LeaKue. will start for the Kast tomorrow mnmlnit. their peare niisslon having been entirely a failure. Whether the Coast I.eafrue will go through with its threat to have a six-club league. giving continuous baseball to Is Angeies and puttlnK a club Into Sacramento in opposition to trie State League, remains to be seen. Their annual session, after the ap pointment of a schedule committee, was adiourned until in o'clock tomor row. President Kwir.it intimated that in case Henry Berry wants continuous ball for Ixs Angeles that he will vote in favor of It and tiiat the sixth club will he installed In Sacramento. The suhject. however, will be thoroughly discussed by the baseball men before they reach a conclusion. In view of the fact that the schedule committee was working on a schedule that will permit of two clubs playing in Port land during the season. It might ap pear that there will be four cluhs in the Coast League. Such a plan, however, is apt to be changed and the schedule easily amended. Want to Be Independent. President Ban Johnson. of the American League, referring to the proposed peace conference, said: "The Coast League went more than half way In its endeavors to secure organized baseball for the State League. They offered many conces sions, and T do not see how In fairness to themselves they could haye gone further The State League evidently desired to remain an Independent or ganWatlon. I told them at the ban quet that they did not know what war was like, and 1 do not care to enter any further discussion of the mat ter." Mcl'rodie on Committee. Judge MeCredie. director of the Portland cluh. arrived this morning, and the entire board of directors of the Coast League was In session dur ing the afternoon for a short time. President Kwing appointed the fol lowing on the schedule committee: Judge MeCredie. of Portland: K. M. Walter, of Oakland: F. M. Ish. of Pan Kranclsco. and Harry Iceland, of Los .Angeles. The appointment was made with the understanding that the Coast League will not meet for the final settle ment of its business until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, when officers will he elected, reports received and the circuit for 1009 finally decided upon. Outside of the possibility of the league deciding upon six clubs, there is nothing of importance to come be fore the directors. The same officers will unquestionably be re-elected and the same policies pursued. NEGRO WHO KNOCKED OUT JIM FLYNN, FIRST ROUND - -J 5 SAM I.ANGFOHI). PLAYERS FOR CASEY Seals and Angels Each Will Furnish Three Men. IDENTITY IS NOT DECIDED TO DISCUSS BRIDGE SITE Kat" Side Pnh Clubs Will Gire Council Tip. There will he a meeting of the Special Bridge Committee of the City Council at 2 o'clock this afternoon, at which time l large delegations from all of the East Side Push Clubs will be present to state their contentions regarding the best lo cation for the proposed bascule bridge across the Willamette River, north of the Steel bridge. Councilman Menefee is halrman of the committee. The main aiuestion to be determined is as to whether . the people shall vote upon a choice of two locations. A report to the Council will be framed today. The North East Side Improvement As- soclation and the other Push Clubs rep resent the Broadway location, and the 1inpr Alhlna and Multnomah Clubs fa vor Hancock street. The former advo cated the Hanwk location for a high . bridge, but on the report of Engineer ; Ralph Mmljeski that such a bridge , would cost J.l.cMio.ftnft. and that a bascule bridge at Broadway would cost not over l.'.oort.ono. decided to favor Broadway. , fearing that the people would not vote for so great an appropriation as would . be needed for the Hancock street loca t ion. Those favorable to the Hancock loca tion argue that a bridge there will ac commodate the greater number of people, and that the cost of the structure there will be no more than at Broadway, and In f;ict the cost would be less. . They will ask that both locations be submitted to a vote of the people, but the friends of the Bronhway location say that such a course can only either delay or defeat any bridge. At the hearing this afternoon evidence of river pilots will be submitted to show where the bridge can be built with the least obstruction to navigation. Both sides quote the pilots, but there will be a direct "show-down" of testimony on this question. MeU'hlor and Curtis Offered for Northwestern I.eajriie .Team and Mar Be Aerrpted Majree and Kose Drafted by Sea til. The San Francisco and TLoa Angeles Pa cific Ieague clubs have each pledged thre playirs to the McCredies, for use bj the Northwest League club. Accord ing to the deal with Danny Long. Me Credie is to have the option of taking three new players drafted or purchased by San Francisco, or Harry Melcholr, Joe Curtis and one other player. Waller McCredlo can secure Melchoir to a Portland contract any time he sees fit. but as the player would he used In the Northwest league, MeCredie says that It Is up to Casey whether the Seal outfielder Is secured or not: Melchoir would make a strong addition to any out field and it may be possible that Portland will yet secure 4i is services. Joe Curtis will make a good man for the Northwest team, and Casey, who is not saying any thing, is believed to think favorably of both players. v Welter Framhes. the catcher who fin ished last season for .Portland. Is not a member of either of the Portland teams, and there is no likelihood of his wearing a Portland uniform another season, un less some unforeseen contingency arises whereby the McCredies will be short of backstop material Just at present Port land has the services of four catchers cinched. These are W. Fournier, Frank Beaumont, Murray and Harrigan. with two more padded-mit artists in sight. If the deal with Boston for Catcher Murray, of Trenton, falls through, MeCredie has stipulated another backstop to be deliv ered by the Boston club, end In the event that neither is forthcoming, Altoona's proposition for the sale of Frambes may be considered. MeCredie has an option on this player until the first of March. Inflelders Magee and Rose have been mentioned as being members of Mc Credie's squad, and while these players have been drafted by the Portland club, they are to play with Seattle instead. Judge W. Wr. MeCredie drafted both men for E. E. Dugdale and both players will be turned over to Dug when the proper time comes. Rose Is one of the most promising young first basemen In the Central States. Dugdale expects to use him in place of Schotleld. and Magee In place of "Pug" Bennett, who threatens to retire from the game. If Bennett should retire the Seattle cluh would prob ably be much Ijertter on, for he Is rated too highly by the Seattle magnate, and a young player like Magee will give much better service. "Bring us a drink, boy," commanded the player. "Wot t 11 d'you want?" queried Case In the -toughest manner he could assume. The man named his drink In a man ner that left no doubt of his meaning, and while the proprietor nearly had hysterics. Casey slipped quietly down stairs and secured the order. On bring ing the drinks to the flayers, the host inquired the price. "Two hits." shouted Casey so every one could hear. The man pungled UP the quarter and then magnanimously added a tip In the shape of a dime. This was the last straw, and, with the re mark. "Better keep that and buy your self an automobile." Casey tossed the ID-cent piece on the table and walked disdainfully away. It in said the only way to tip Casey Is to give him o or $10 gold pieces. ORfXiOXS HAVE CLOSE CALL, Chanee In Line-up N'coessary ro Win Game at Anaconda. ANACONDA. Mont.. Dec. 21. (Spe cial.) JThe high altitude of Anaconda had no'bad effect on the Oregons. for they played ball In fine style all through. An aconda has the best team the Oregons have met so far. . The boys of the Smel ter City are a game lot of lads, and fought hard to win. but were outclassed by the boys from the Beaver State. The score at the end of the first half was 12 to S in favor of Anaconda, but change in the lineup in the second hair gave the Oregons their regular team and they played rings around their opponents, keeping them from scoring from the field. Final score was 21 to 1. The Oregons finished ' in fine form. Their next game will be at Billings, De cember 24. Corrif-an Pleads Not Guilty. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 21.

PEARL CASEY Is having to stand much joshing of late, and the occa sion for the funmaklng at the popular balltossers expense came about in the following manner: Last Saturday, in pursuance of his du ties, he had occasion to attend a' pool game being played by two apparently well-to-do Easterners who were guests at the Hotel Portland, but who went to a billlardi parlor for a few games of pool. One of the players missed an easy shot and decided that he should treat. Pounding his cue on the floor, he turned toward Casey, who was in charge, and shouted In an imperious manner: "Boy. oh. boy, bring us a couple of drinks." "Wonder what he takes me for," mut tered Casey to the proprietor as he looked toward the players. "He thinks you are a flunky," was the reply. ' "Better go see what he wants." "Why don't yen go yourself?" queried Casey. "He hasn't taken me for a. boy, has he?" laughingly replied the proprietor, and Casey ambled toward the pool tables La sea what aa wanted. Explains Why Requisition Was De nied for Arclicr, of New Jersey. OLYMPIA," Wash., Dec. 21. (Spe cial.) Governor Mead today addressed a long letter to Governor Fort, of New Jersey, explaining his refusal to honor Fort's requisition for C. A. Archer to the New Jersey executive. Mead also sent letters from business men of Se attle and Tacoma. received by him. testifying that Archer has lived in the state since 1902 and has borne a good reputation. Mead declares friends of Archer tes tified at the hearing that Arcner was in no wise criminally liable to the charges against him. inferring the charges were to force hkn to settle civil matters. Mead also asserts one of the New Jersey agents was Intoxi cated at the hearing; that the other said lie knew nothing of the history of the case. Nowhere in his letter to Fort does Mead refer in any way to Archer's domestic relations. POULTRY SHOW AT EUGENE Lane County Association Has line Display of Blooded Chickens. ' ECGENE. Or.. Dec. 21.

MAY NEXT FIGHT KETCHEL Colored Man Goes After Antagonist Hammer and ; Tongs Sends Left to .Taw and FIynn. Drops Like Ivog. SAN FRANCI3CO. Dec. 21. .Sam Lang ford, the colored middleweight, making his first appearance in a local ring, made good-with a vengeance find incidentally gave short shrift to Jim Flynn, of Pueblo. Colo. Langford knocked out his man in the first round, after two minutes of fighting. From the outset it was plainly apparent that Flynn did not have a. chance. Lang ford lost no time in getting Into action. No sooner had the men shaken fcands than the colored boy went after the Pueblo fireman hammer and tonga. He swung a hard -right to the body and a niomunt later scored witli his left to the face. He gave Flynn no chance. Flynn rushed to close quarters, but found no shelter. Ijingford followed his advantage by sending his right and left to the body with great force. After two minutes of fighting Langford feinted with bin right. Like a flash he brouglut jis left flush to the fireman's jaW'with an Im pact, that was heard all over the house. Dropped as if Hit Willi Lor. Flynn dropped as If hit with a log. his face turned purple and he rolled on his back until the pain from the blrtw caused him to turn. The count of TO was tolled off, but Flynn was too far gone even to hear the count. He remained helpless on the floor of the ring with his seconds working over him for fully two minutes. He was then carried to his corner and It was five minutes before his senses re turned. "What hit me?" he murmured when speech returned to him. The defeated pugilist was led to i.s dressingroom with difficulty. Langford was a 3 to 1 favorite In the betting. His quick victory over his heavier opponent placed him in great favor with the local followers of th'e fighting game, who aver that he Is the only man that can wrest the middleweight championship from Stan ley Ketchel. ritELIMIXART IS DRAW Walsli and AttcII Fight 15 Rounds Kvenly.
