THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1909. MOUNTAIN LEAGUE PUNS DEFERRED Lucas Will Not Proceed to Salt Lake Until Grim Is Able to Go There. SUNDAY REST LAW MENACE If Passed by Utah Legislature, Salt Lake and Ogden AVI II Be Out or League Chief Ksola Visit Portland. President Lucas' trip to Salt Lake City for the purpose of opening ne gotiation! for the organising of the Inter-Mountain League has been post poned because of the failure of Jack Grim to announce his departure for the Inter-mountain metropolis. Grim Is forced to delay his departure for Salt Lake by reason of the serious Ill ness of his wife, at Chicago, and Just when he will be able to get away is problematical. On this account the progress of or ganizing the new league will be de layed indefinitely, but President Lucas declares that there Is plenty of time to put the league In operation in the future. Had it not been for the fact that Jark Grim, himself, deposited the fee which secured the reservation of the territory with the National Asso ciation of Professional Baseball Leagues, President Lucas and his other associates in the new venture would have gone through with the for mation of the league before this, but they realize that Grim is entitled to consideration and wished to accede to his wishes in the matter. The illness of Mrs. Grim is a source of considerable worriment to the base ball promoter, who writes from Chi cago that her condition is alarming,' and that he cannot get away until she shows signs of improvement. The proposed new association will be one of the most successful leagues In the country, unless the Utah Leg islature enacts the drastic Sunday law which has been under consideration in that state for some time. Should base ball be prohibited on Sunday in that Ftate It is almost certain that Salt Lake and Ogden will not be considered In the formation of the Inter-Mountain League, and this would practically mean a Montana State League, for it would hardly be profitable to Include Poise and Pocatello In a circuit with only Butte and Helena as supporting cities. President Lucas says that he does not anticipate any such action on the part of the l"tah Solons. for he does not believe that the citizens of the state desire such a drastic measure. However, the promoters of the new en terprise are not letting any unforeseen circumstances bother them In their effort to further the success of the new league, and are working steadily on different plans which are hoped to improve the quality of baseball to be Introduced and to assist In pleasing the fans of the new circuit. Detective Frank Esola, of the San Francisco police department, was in Portland for a few hours yesterday between trains while en route to Se attle to secure and take back a prison er wanted in San Francisco for rob berv. Detective Ksola is better known to the baseball fans as "Chief" Esola. He Is the big catcher who did the backstopping for the San Francisco club for two seasons, .but quit baseball In 1906. Referring to his baseball career Detective Ksola last night said: "Do you know that I had to wait un til 1 was 37 years old beforo I got the notion 1 could play ball, and then It took me two more years, or rather it required that length of time on the part of my manager, to find out that I did not know as much about It as when I started on the sandlots 15 vears before. I don't understand why i ever attempted to make baseball plavlng my means of livelihood, and whoever told me that I could do It will fare badly when I find him out. for we have some very nice little ac commodations In the San Francisco JU"I'll consider It a personal favor If any one will Inform me who was re sponsible for my signing up with the Seals a couple of years ago. for I lost two good years In the depart ment, and well I had a good time any way and had the pleasure of meet ing a lot of good people In Portland and the other cities on the Coast, so 1 (.lion Id not complain. "When I look at the number of large buildings being erected and created here since I was in Portland. It re minds me of San Francisco, but the only difference is that you didn't have to have a shake-up and fire to cause it and I must say this town Is grow ing some. I'm glad of it, for Portland, next to San Francisco of course, is the best town on the Pacific Coast, and von can set that down for me. I hone this won't be my last visit to Portland, but yon never rao. tell In this business, for once a policeman always a police man, and I guess that holds good In mv case." Detective Esola then paid a glow ing tribute to the late Chief of Police Piggy, as well aa his successor. Chief Jesse Cook, both of whom Esola says are the most capable men who ever occupied the position since he has been acquainted with police business In the Bay City. Despite Esola's dubious remarks about his own ability as a ball player, he held his own in some mighty fast company. Doubtless, If he had gone Into professional ball when a younger man he would have reached the big leagues. GAME VOX BY JEWISH BOYS East Side High School IWeated in Hot Basketball Contest.

ED D'GDHHELL SULLIVAN POSTS $I0f OF HIS FORFEIT FOR MATCH. Montana Wrestler Wants Bout With Portland Man, but Conditions May Xot Be Accepted. Dan Sullivan, the Montana middle weight wrestler, yesterday posted $100 of the $500 forfeit demanded by Eddie O'Connell for a match to take place in Portland, and Sullivan says that he Is prepared to cover the remainder of the Multnomah Club instructor's money as soon as the articles are signed. When he posted the money, Sullivan sent the following statement to the Sporting Editor of The Oregonian: In answer to Ed O'Connel's sweeping challnine to wrestle any middle-weight wretlr In the world. I have this date de posited $100 forfeit tor a f0 side bet for a match with Mr. O'Connell. to take place within 20 days. . , . I agree to wrestle O'Connel & straight catch-as-can match, best two in three falls, pin falls onlv to count, at the middle weight lirf.it. 1"8 pounds, at 6 o'clock P. M on day of contest. Referee to be mu tually agreed upon at least five days before date of match. Said contest to take place under the management of Fred T. Merrill. Wrestlers to receive rtO per cent of gross receipts, to be divided 05 Tier cent to win ner and 35 per cent to loser, the balance of the ."iOO side bet to be put up when, the articles of agreement are signed: said match to be made and articles signed with in five days from date. According to Sullivan's demands, O'Connell will be asked to agree to appear before other management than has been handling the previous matches for him. and it may be that these stipulations will not be agreeable. At any rate the posting of the money on the part of Sullivan Is evidence of his good faith and should lead to a conference between the rival wrest lers at which some agreement may be readied. Con Albright Is still unable to get "Strangler" Smith to agree to a match, and the prospects are that he will not be able to do so. Smith has his mind set upon another go with O'Connell and unless he succeeds In this he will not meet any one else. At least that was his Intention reported last night. Smith says he can raise $1000 and if he does it looks like O'Connell may consider him seriously. G. ..........

More water to the acre than any other irrigation project in the Northwest. It only takes 10 acres to make $3000 a year. Why? Because we can raise everything that is grown in any other section in the Northwest.

If you are, you, beyond doubt, are the chairman of the ways and means committee, duly considering where to go this coming Summer. The merits and demerits of the various Summer hotels are being discussed in the light of past experi ence. You recall with a shudder the scantily-furnished, ill-kept little room you occupied in a hotel of high-sounding name at some resort or other. You remember being kept awake until the wee small hours by guests walking up and down the uncar peted halls. You remember that the thin partition walls didn't. keep out the noise of a family jar to the right, nor the snores of a fat drummer in a room to the left. You also distinctly remember that windows were screenless, and you very distinctly remember the size of your bill. Another Summer you spent in the country an ticipating with keen relish new-laid eggs, fine butter, real cream and milk and genuine, home-grown vege tables and berries. You guessed wrong. Mr. Farmer shipped all those nice things to the big city hotels and fed you on canned stuff bought at the cross roads grocery. But his bill you remember it yet. You remember that, after two weeks or less of your past vacation, you were glad to get back the comforts of your city home. Vacations are right and proper if gone about in the right way. Let us show you the way. Let your next vacation be spent in your own Summer cottage by the sea at Columbia Beach, the Seaside Capital of the Northwest. Lots can be had for as little as $200, a cottage can be built for a few hundred more. By way of parenthesis, we will jidd that vegetables, eggs, butter, milk and cream of the best quality, can be bought close at hand, from the producer, at low prices. Very little imagination is needed to see the benefit your wife and little ones will derive from a sojourn of several months under such conditions. Twill be money well invested, indeed the returns being manifold in health and ruggedness. Pcean bathing is not the only attraction at Columbia Beach. A large fresh-water lake and two streams invite you to swim, to sail, to canoe, to fish. There's hunting in the woods close-by; there's a golf links; there's a board walk for strolling; there's a sun parlor out at the end of the ocean pier there are new delights at every turn. Columbia Trust Company Portland, Oregon. Gentlemen: Kindly send me your Columbia Beach Booklet. Name. . Address.
