THEMORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1910. MTARUND QUITS; CLUB IS IN THROES Aberdeen Must Decide in Hours Whether It Will Have Team. 24 NONE WILLING TO "PUT UP' Baseball Enthusiasm Subsides to Murmur When Call Is Made for Cash Yakima and Walla Walla Eager for Franchise, ABERDEEN; Wash., Jan. 14. (Special.) W. R. MaoFarland, for three years president of the Aberdeen baseball club, today tendered his resignation to the board of directors and C. H. Rowland, manager of the team last year, was elected to the presidency. This announcement together with the statement that final decision on the pro posal to support a team during the coming Mason must be made by Monday night, wtieu Mr. Rowland will leave for Seattle to attend the meeting of the league, has brought the baseball situation in this city to a crisis after a long series of semi climaxes, and local fans and former team supporters are face to face with the real thing. By alternate spurts of enthusiasm and lethargy those who have the Interest of the team at heart and would, keep Aberdeen on the baseball map have been more or less sidestepping each definite question put up to them ever since Mc redio's proclamation floated west from "Washington. 'Not much can be accom plished, so that virtually Aberdeen will be made or lost within the next 24 hours. Coincident with the argument that the team would be self-supporting within the next year have come rumors of the for mation of a stock company and today this pliuse was given serious consideration. "I do not believe that the people of Aberdeen want baseball said MacFar land in retiring, "and I am satisfied with llio manner in which they have taken up IhA question." The feeling seems strong for a team, but when the subject of subscription is broached the howl subsides to an almost Inaudible murmur. One of the principal reasons for this, it is pointed out. Is the recent determination of the Chamber of Commerce to gather up JtjOOO for an active campaign along commercial lines, and some, it is said, are protesting against subscribing to both. "It's up to the city," says Rowland "we must deckle before the league meet ing in Seattle Tuesday or practically throw away our $100 forfeit If Aberdeen doesn't want baseball, then North Taki ma or "Walla "Walla does." BKOWJT BUYS STAR PLAYERS A'uneouver Begins to Feel Pennant Is Within Easy Reach. VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 14. (Spe cial.) Manager Bob Brown, of the Beavers, haB just completed one of the largest and most important deals con summated In the Northwestern League In recent years, and on which may mean the bringing of this year's base ball pennant to Vancouver, when he announced tonight that he had pur chased Dick Breen, Harry Rush, Dick Boettiger and C. E. Clynes. Davis and Cartwright. of the last year's team, are transferred to Spo kane to be traded for Dode Brinker and Inflelder James of that team.

James and Clynes. as well as Brinker and Boettiger, Are all from the Spo kane team, and their batting averages figure higher up In the percentage col umn for the past season. Brown announces that he has several other top-notchers in view whom he can sign up at short notice, but it is understood he had had to put up a liberal amount of cash to secure the men already named.

He will appear before the league directors and make a strong plea for an eight-club league with Butte and Helena as the two extra members.
