THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1911. 8 BAN ON SHEEHAN CITEO AS UNJUST McCredie Says Player Was Merely Dutiful Son in Deserting Brooklyn. PLEA FOR HIM PLANNED Local Baseball Manager Sajs lie XeeHls Barred Star Basrman and Will Proleot lrllonCon trarts Are Mailed. Walter M.-Credle panned a busy day yesterday. The Tortland baseball mag nate commenced mailt nil the varloua contracts to the membera of hia team who hare not yet signed for the com ing season. With the contracts. Mc- Credie aent word to each player to be ready to report at Santa Maria Febru ary 25. McCredle does not relish the decision of the National Commission In barring Tommy Pheehan from playing In organized baseball. "1 don't believe It la right or Just to bar Tommy Sneehan." said McCredle. "When he deserted the Brooklyn Club three years ago he did It under neces sity and after having been denied the privilege of going to his borne In Cali fornia, where hia parents were eaid to be extremely llL He had received word that his father waa likely to die at any moment. SheVhan Dutiful Son. "When denied the right to take leave of absence, he parked his clothes and left anyhow, which any dutiful son would likely have done In the same cir cumstances. - I don't think this Is a Just ruling, and I Intend to write Mr. Herrmann to that effect and explain the circumstances to him. I believe Mr. Herrmann la a fair man and I don't think Sheehan'a case haa been presented to him properly. "I want Tommy Pheehan. if I can play him. lie la a brainy player and knows the roaat batters to perfection. However. If I cannot use him I am fortified In having Rodgers to All In at third, or I can switch Rodgera to second, play Ball at shortstop and use Pecklnpaugh at third, so I am not so badly off as I might have been. Chad bourne Is a good man and the award ing of him to Portland haa helped me out considerably. If I had lost both Chadbourne and Sheehan I would be hard pressed to get a player to help Out." Sehmletlor to Train. McCredle announced that he had se cured Prank Schmleder. former trainer of the Multnomah Club, of Portland, and last year with the Cleveland Amer icans, to handle his Portland team this season. McCredle met Schmleder In Los Angeles. As McCredle la to have two clubs this season he closed a con tract with Schmleder. who is rated as one of the best trainers In the country. Schmleder is assistant handler of the athletes of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, and makes a little side money by handling the boxers of Tom Mc Carey boxing club.

LASSr AGED 14, TO ENTER Dorothy Eaton, Pnpil of Arthur Cavil!, Who Defeated Annette Kellermann, to Be Feature of Summer Carnival Here. Dorothy Eaton, the 14-year-old girl swimmer of San Francisco, who beat Annette Kellerman In a recent private swimming exhibition at San Francisco, will be one of the entries In the wo men's events of the aquatic carnival to be held In Portland In June or July. This announcement Is made by Arthur Cavlll, swimming Instructor of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, who has returned to Portland after a three weeks' visit to California. Besides Miss Eaton, there will be at least 13 entries from the Olympic Club, of San Francisco, and three from the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Among the San Francisco amateur swlmmera who will participate In the Portland competition are George Bromley, Harry Lee. George Lane and the dough brothers. Scott Leary. Olympic Club champion, may also come North. Girl Cavlll's Pupil. Miss Eaton is the daughter of Louis Eaton, organist of Trinity Church of San Francisco. She was taught how to swim four years ago by Mr. Cavlll. Her parents have consented to allow her to Join the Portland meet, and will send her to Portland for two months of further Instruction by Cavlll before the aquatic carnival. "She is the greatest woman swimmer the world ever knew," sa'd Mr. Cavlll. "She learns readily and Is absolutely fearless In the water. She volunteered to accompany me on the proposed swim of the Golden Gate, which has been postponed fur a time, as the promoters of the Panama Pacific Exposition, un der whose auspices I was to make the ttempt. desired that the swim take place about February 1. I could not lt that long, but promised that I would make the trial any time they sent for me." J. Cal Ewlng, owner of the San Francisco Baseball Club, is an enthusi astic booster for this swim, and baa contributed handsomely toward a purse to be given Cavlll when the event takes place. Portland Feat Surprises. "For boosters, that California crowd beats the world." said Mr. Cavlll in speaking of the Olympic Club's annual dip In the surf. why, It gathers a crowd of 400 or more members who march to the beach In a body. Half of them cannot swim a stroke, but they 11 don bathing suits and roost of them wade In until the water reaches their ankles. Then they pose for moving pictures. Some of them, who are really expert swimmers, venture Into the breakers, but the surf there is so treacherous that they do not go very far out. I set them to thinking when I told them that I had a dozen or more women in Portland who swam In the ocean last December. They would hardly believe It until I showed them photographs taken at Gearhart Beach." LAXGFOHD SAILS FOR EUROPE Negro Pugilist, However, Takes Time to Win Another Bout. UTICA. N. Y., Jan. IS.

Further Particulars of the Eilers Clearance Sale, Prices of Fine Pianos and How to Pay for Them. . Would you deliberately throw away a hundred dollars, or a nunarea ana fifty dollars? Of course not. You would not throw It away In one lump sum. nor would you throw away so much money in amounts of eight, or ten, or fifteen dollars each month If you knew it: But that Is exactly what you will do If you permit yourself to buy a p'ano In almost any other place In Oregon but of Eilers Music House. Some very Interesting facts have come to light within the past few days, some inves tigations nave Deen careiuiiy inttue, nu the rmnlli urn Bimnlv astounding. We know whereof we speak.

WHAT the: RECORDS SHOW! The transcontinental records of piano shipments have just been compiled. If our Ilgures are correct, mere were al most 3200 pianos shipped from factories to Portland. Oregon. Over 2560 of these pianos came to Eilers Musio House, the balance were taken by all of the other houses put together here. What do these figures mean? Should they not prove beyond the question of a doubt that Eilers Music House Is the one place In Oregon where pianos are to be secured most advan tageously? A little more than 21 per cent of all the pianos shipped to Oregon last year were handled by all the other houses.. The balance. 79 per cent, were handled by Eilers Music House. Jf 79 neoDle out of every 100 who buy pianos give their preference to Eilers Music House, It Is safe to assume that the combined Judgment of so large majority - Is trustworthy. This Is sgaln illustrated by conditions existing at the present time. Before the death of Mr. Hobart M. Cable we sold the Hobart M. Cable Piano. It was then that .the Hobart M. Cable was recognized as a high- class Instrument. We have sold In the regular retail way hundreds of brand new and perfect Hobart M. Cable Pianos for. less money than the same are how being offered In an alleged damage, fire or water sale as "the mightiest bargain," "the most tempting Inducements ever offered by any con cern. A CLEAN 9100 SAVING. We are selllnr todav sllfirhtlv-uffed Hobart M. Cable Pianos for almost f 100 less than alleged water-soaked pianos are being sold in a so-called "sale" in this city, and it is a certainty that a Hobart M. Cable Piano slightly used, having been well taken care of. Is far superior to any Hobart M. Cable Piano of the present day that may have been exposed to water and other detrimental influences which are bound to affect its durability. A certain stvle of Krakauer Piano Is being offered In an alleged "fire sale" --at one-tnira to one-hair orr' for 440. We sold a piano last week to a lady who had boutrht the same stvle of Kraukauer Piano from us a short time go. for 1286, and when we sold this lano at 1286, we made a reasonable roflt. We are offering today fancy ew Krakauer pianos. Instruments that ave been In our stock, and have never been sold heretofore, of the same style and size for which "fire sale artists" are asking $440 we are selling these same instruments to anyone who wants hem for 285, and a plainer style for zou. $153 ACTUALLY SAVED. Here is an actual saving of over $155 n each and every Kraukauer Piano hat people will buy of us. Nor Is It necessary to cav all cash, for on these pianos, as on others In our stock, we arrange terms of payment to suit the convenience of any reasonable buyer.

Pool World's Champion Wins. NE"W YORK. Jan. 16. Alfred DeOro, Disclosing Why Such High Prices Must We have several Milton Pianos, slis-htlv used, to be sure, (but a slight ly used Milton Piano Is undoubtedly as gooa, li not Dener man & aiuwu Piano that has been water soaked). We are selling our Milton Pianos for SO per cent less than the best price at which these same makes of Milton Pianos are offered elsewhere. The same ratio of reduction exists on Milton Player Pianos, and other makes of player pianos, that are being offered at outlandlshly high prices under a pre tense of "A Piano sale without a par allel." Without parallel, Indeed! No special sale at such extraordinary high prices was ever attempted! THK CAT OCT OF THE BAG. Eilers Music House pays no interme diate profits to middlemen or agents. It Is this Intermediate profit that pre vents little side-show corporations from being able to openly compete. There is a modern, direct, money-saving way of merchandising In the piano business, as there is also the indirect, old-time way. The direct way Is the Eilers Music House way; the indirect way as sumes many different forms; the old time San Francisco consignment deal form Is an Interesting one. A San Fran cisco firm permits the use of its name to some men in Portland or other city. Thus a local firm is incorporated under practically the same name; with but little, if any, capital. This firm Incorporated in Portland, say, must take its pianos from the parent house, paying for these pianos in people's contracts when instruments are sold. The parent house takes all the risk, supplies virtually all the capital, pays the freight, and feels entitled to mak ing a big profit, over the actual cost of the piano at the factory. Sometimes this consignment profit is more than $100 per piano. On top of this the local house must make its profit, to cover all the many incidental salary and expense charges that accrue upon each piano when sold in the old-fashioned lugubri ous manner. Is it any wonder, then, that prices in these establishments are so high? Is It any wonder that a "sale" under such conditions becomes a farce? Can vou exDect to hear of the good qualities of Eilers Music House Instru ments from people thus handicapped. who are frantically, almost hopelessly, endeavoring to sell Instruments of their own? Can there be any permanency to such a crowd? Is It any wonder that the firm name of one California concern once operating In Oregon has under gone at least six different changes In almost that many years? Again wo repeat: SIOOO IN GOLDi We herebv acrree to oav the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1000) in Oold to any worthy charity If we are not found by any unbiased person to be offering, during this Clearance Sale, pianos of the highest grade and most dependable character, for at least 27 per cent and in some instances as much as 35 per cent less than the same grade and quality is obtainable elsewhere, no matter what excuse or pretense that may be offered in advertising and cir cular letters to secure patronagle for this, that or the other "sale."
