Hetling Portland's Properly. "We find that Hetling signed a con tract with Portland on April 22, and the same was duly promulgated by this office: that Hetling played with the Portland club up to September S; that Portland never released Hetling from ft? is contract: that the loan of this player to Spokane for a period of ap proximately three weeks was fairly understood by both clubs as being sim ply a loan of a player's services (which loan, however. Is contrary to law); fur. ther. that title to Hetling Is vested In the Portland club: that Hetling Is re served by the Portland club, and Is not reserved or claimed by Spokane, and that the Portland club never lost title to this player, and for tMs reason the decision of the president of the Pacific Coast League. In so far aa It credits Oaklaand with winning three games and ehargea Portland with losing three games, must be vacated. - "Spokane offers no defense' to the charge of using a farmed player, con tenting Itself with paying the fine Ira posed: the fine at $100 each against Portland and Spokane Is therefore affirmed."

BY W. J. PKTRAIX. W. W. McCredle. Representative In Congress from the Second Washington District, and president of the Portland baseball club of the Pacific Coast League, has been completely vindicated In hla stand against the decision of Thomas F. Graham, president of the Pacific Coast League, who declared three games won by Portland forfeited to Oakland at a crucial period In last season's race because of the playing oy Portland of Gus Hetling. At the time Oakland protested the games McCredle maintained that adju dication of the case was not within the province of President Graham, and maintained that Hetling was the prop erty of the Portland club, and as such could be played by thle club at any and all times Portland saw fit to utilize his sen-ices. Despite the claims of McCredle and the fact that Secretary Farrell, of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, had Informed the chief executive of the Pacific Coast League to the effect that Helling re lease by Portland had never been re ceived by him. President Graham exor cised his suthorlty, as he thought he knew it, and declared the three games won by Portland during the final series with Onkland forfeited to that team. The National commission, comprising August Herrmann, chairman and presi dent of the Cincinnati club of the Na tional League: Bancroft B. Johnson, president of the American League, and Thomas J. Lynch, president of the Na tional League, who constitute the su preme court of baseball, have reversed this arbitrary decision of Judge Graham and the fans of Portland are delighted at this action of the commission. The gratification Is not because Port land gains a few points In the official standing of the clubs, for the Beavers won the championship despite the hand icap Imposed by Judge Graham, but simply because the decision vindicates the contention made by the Portland fans from the time the controversy started.

CONTEST .DECLARED TIE SBEEHAX SAFE WITH POHTLAND Inflelder Not Affected by Recent Ruling, Says Farrcil. BAN FRANCISCO. Jan. l.-(SpecIal.) Tommy Sheehan's berth with the Port land team la safe. The late ruling of the National Commission refusing to reopen the cases of outlawed players concerned In the oft-lamented California League gave rise to the fear that the popular little thlrd-sacker of McCredie s crew would be barred from the Coast League this year. The following telegram re ceived last night from J. H. Farrell, sec retary of the National Association of Minor League Clubs, la an answer to an Inquiry about the status of Bheehan and Moskiman: . Auburn, N. T., Jan. IS. Ruling does not disturb, players In Coast League, as previous rulings permitted players to go from California State League to Pact do Coaat League, but bars Moskiman from Boston. In my opinion.

According to the ruling of the physi cal directors of the Y. M. C. A., the stu dents were to leave the floor by 4:16. the asaoclatlon olassea using the floor beginning at that hour. Because yes terday's basketball exhibition consisted of two games, the hour for leaving the floor rolled around before the game had been concluded. However. 6 minutes of the second half had been played when A. M. Grll ley. physical director of the- Y. M. a A., notified the coaches of the contest ing teams that they would have to leave the floor. The ooachea asked for 5 minutes more time and were, granted that period. At the end of that ex tended time limit Mr. Grllley again called upon the teams for the floor. He tried to attract the attention of the referee, but could not. and there upon requested Coach Fenstermacher, of Washington High School, to blow the whistle, calling the game. In compliance with this request Mr. Fen stermacher did so and the game was called. Washington High School was lead ing 17-1. when the game was called, and claimed the victory. Referee Liv ingston, however, declared the game a tie, which the Washington playera think was a wrong decision. The of ficial did not explain his reason for declaring the game a tie. It Is customary when the gams Is called, except when one team leavei the field, to allow the game to go to the lead ing team, say the Washington players. Since It was the fault of the Y. M. C. A. officials that the game was declared at an end. the declaring of the game a tie, in the eyes of the Washington mes, is an Injustice. It is likely that a protest will be filed. The game itself was nlp-and-tuck, full of exciting playing, good passing and spectacular basket tossing, especially in the second half.- Both teams took the floor wearing much the same colored uni forms, confusion In passing resulting thereby. However, at the end of the first half Washington High School changed to another color and the team work was noticeably better. Washington led throughout the game except for a bare few seconds during the second half, when the Lincoln quintet tied the score. Wash ington soon again took the lead atod maintained It to the time the contest was called by Mr. Grllley. The first game of the double-header was between the second teams of the two In stitutions, Washington High School over whelming the Lincoln "subs" by a score of W to 4. So one-sided was the game that It was uninteresting to watch. The Washington "subs" showed really good team work while Lincoln's was decidedly ragged. A fair-sized crowd saw the games. PRESIDENT KERR OFFERS CUP Vancouver High School May Enter Corvallls Track Meet. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Or.. Jan. 19. (Special.)
