TIIE MORXIXG OHEGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1912. IS 10 HEAD SEATTLE Another Beaver May Manage Team as Victoria Wants Tommy Sheehan. M'CREDIES ARE WILLING Portland Baseball Power Predict -That Members of I-ast Year's Champions Will Make Good s Club Leaders. It la now practically certain that twa of McCredle's 111 Bearer champion will manage Northwestern Uku clubs next season, for It was definitely settled yesterday that Jack Barry will handle the Seattle team, while his team-mate. Tommy Sheehan. captain of tha champions, probably will ba at the head of tha Victoria Bees next season. Rumors to this effect wera beard last week, when tha prediction waa made In Tha Oregonian. Authenrtc Information received here yesterday, and which had been heralded several days In advance In press dis patches, waa to tha effect that D. K. Pug-dale, president of the Seattle club, had closed with Barry as manager of Seattle In 1912. Tha Beaver utility man will make Seattle the best manager that clnb has ever had. for he la not only m past master In theoretical know), edge of the same, but he Is a diplomat as well, which will make him a aucceaa with Dugdale. W. V. McCredle. president of. the Portland club, la In receipt of a tele rrara from L. A. Wattelet. of the Vic toria club, appealing; to the Portland magnate to use his Influence In setting; Sheehan to handle the Victoria team for tha comlnc season.. Ex-Judge SieCre- dfa has wired the Victoria magnate to deal with 8he,alian. and announces that ha will also write Tommy a persona! letter giving- him permission to under take-the Victoria offer If ha so electa. , The Portland magnate also said ha be lleved Sheehan to be a free agent, but that If Brooklyn atiil has a claim to him. he Intended to suggest that Vic toria enter into a deal with Brooklyn for tha use of Sheehan daring the coming season. In tha opinion of Mc Credle. tbe deal ought to ba eaally ar ranged on a baala of an exchange of players at the end of tha season. If Seattle gets Barry and Victoria landa Sheehan. both those cluba will bear watching during tha coming race, for the two Beavera are rated among the best students of baseball on thi 1'acine Coast. Barry, alated for the Se attle berth, waa a major league player for mora than ten rears. He played with Boaton. Washington. Chicago. Cln. rinnatl. St. Louis and New York, in tha National League, and waa always rated as a keen player, quick to discern the weakness of the opposing team and one of the beat eoaehee of young players, especially pitchers. In the game today. waiter McCredle expresses a high re gard for both Sheahan and Barry, and he attributes much of tha aucceaa of his champions to Barry'a coaching and In tuitive judgment on the ball Held. "If Jack goes to Seattle he will be success from the start.1 aald Walter McCredle yesterday. I shall not inter fere if Barry wishes to taka the posi tion. "Tommy Sheehan la another eonaclen tlous player who ought to make an ex rellent manager for a Northwestern club. There are no players In this league who know more about tha game T han does Bheehan. and for thla reason. aa well as the fact that ha has shown ability aa a leader, he ought to be tbe making of tha Victoria club. If Shee han and Barry get these positions I wish them the best of luck and am con fident they will be successful. The next few days will ba busy ones for Walter McCredle. He will be en gaged In filling out and malting eon tracta to his prospective 1912 Beavers. He wants to get thla matter ofT hi handa before ha leavea for California next Sunday night, for the two-fold purpose of attending the league meet ing at Los Angeles. January 13. and to select tha Spring training quarters for Ms club. The work of making out the contracta for tha coming aeaaon will keep the tail Koaver quite busy, though ha has prac tically derided upon what he will offer each of the veterans as well as tha 'rookies" during tha coming season. "Roaring Bill" Rapps. Portland s ster ling first baseman, will receive a boost In his salary, while Artie Krueger, hom McCredle has decided to retain, will suffer a cut. Krueger waa about the highest-priced player In tha league laat aeason. and the Beaver leader soured on what ha thought was Indif ference on the part of the "Big Dutch man." M.-Credle concluded that Artie waa not deserving of eurh a high sti pend, and will lop off a few acads. "Speck" Harknesa and Klmer Koost rer ara also likely to And the figures written on tha contracts to be tendered them listed somewhat higher than In 111. Benny Henderson's salary will not ba cut. Inatead he will be asked to a!gn an agreement which will require Mm to refrain from overindulgence in the "flowing bowl" or forfeit a certain percentage of Ms atlpend.

A session last ing until Saturday waa in prospect, he said, because of the great amount of business. - Mr. Lynch thought it hardly likely that there would be any opposition to the concessions demanded by the Na tional Association. A finding by the commission on the world's series ticket scandal in New York and Philadelphia la a possibility of the meeting, according to the NaJ tional League head.

FREAKTQUCHDOWN TOLD SCORE SHOWN TO BE POSSIBLE IN CENTER OF FIELD. Fair Catch Crosses Line, Goes Ont of Bounds and Is Juggled Back Into Fair Territory. Attorney Victor Place, of Seattle, former coach at the University of Washington and later at Notre Dame, tells of a gridiron complication where by an eleven under the rules may score a touchdown In the center of the field of play or anywhere on the field that the imagination wills. "And this freak play really happened back East once," said the ex-Dartmouth College captain on Monday while in Portland. "Here we have it: Team B negoti ated a fair catch somewhere in A'a section of the gridiron and then tried for a field goal from placement. Un der the rulea a kick after a fair catch that goes over the goal line on the fly is not declared dead, ao when" an A player fumbled the ball, which sailed wld'e of the goal posta, the rival teams began a wild scramble for the oval. 'In the melee the ball crossed the extended sideline to out of bounds and was forced back onto the field of play, where a B player fell on it. As it was anybody's ball at the point where it shot out of bounda B waa awarded a touchdown back where the oval first crossed the extended portion of the sidelines. "Suppose the ball was knocked around and bounced here and there until B fell on it at the center of the field. The Ba would still have their touchdown, wouldn't they?" queried this new apostle of technicalities. And the football experta had to ad mit the correctness of the argument. Coal 16 up.
