President Allmn T. Baum. J. Cal Ew
Jnc. of the Pan Francisco club, and
Walter McCredle. of Portland, returned
today a the advance guard of the
Coast League magnates who attended
the adjourned annual meeting. In Los
Angeles. President Paum confirmed
the selection of a new official ball, one
that will be lacking the cork center
of the Fpaldlng ball, but said that he
had not as yet closed with George
Wheeler for an umpire s Job.
Instead, he had a talk with Wheeler,
and told the newspaper boys that In all
probability bs would give the Is An
f eles player a chance to make good.
Flawey Already Slewed.
Ed Finney, one of the umpires last
year. signed his contract while Baum
was In the South. Finney put In an
appearance at baseball headquarters
escorted by a pair of crutches It ap
pears that he waa In bathing at one of
the beaches and cut bis foot on a piece
of glass. He cut one of the arteries,
and really was In a dangerous condition
for a time. Baum says that It seemed
rather extraordinary to be atgntng as
an umpire a man who has to use
crutches, but Finney will be all right
In a few days at the most.

Walter McCredle, who returned with
the others of the party, expects to

McCredl hasn't selected training quar

make up his mind In the next two
weeks. The Portland leader will choose
between Bant -Maria. Santa Barbara
and Klslnore. although he also has
propositions from Redlands and Ban

that hs likes the prospect from Elsl

Nick Williams cla B team will also

Charll Graham has suggested that the

took occasion to fire the first verbal
shafts of Ire against the proposed In

expected to swell forth Into a real
declaration of war when Coast League
plsyers assemble In their various mud

asserted Speck. "But, as long as the

"It's me for that hoodoo number IS.
Th players, as a whole I believe, will
oppose the numbering and the figures

Home fans will naturally know home

by the "thirty-second degree" denixen

The system Is patterned slightly
along the most approved styles In sev

Numbering has also been used In horse

Baseball officialdom in the East is
stirred up over the prospects of the
success or failure of th new Colum

Chicago, Bt. Louis and Louisville. From
Ban Johnson and August Herrmann
down, all are unanimous in declaring
that nothing but failure can possibly
greet the efforts of the new promoters.
But. bsrklng back a lew years, re
member how Ban Johnson started the
American League? He had to fight his
way against the opposition of the Na-
tlonal. For a few years there was bit
ter warfare with neither side willing
to s-ive In. until finally Johnson and
Herrmann got together and forced John
Brush and other recalcitrant owners
Into line for a truce.
The new Interests have many things
to overcome but if they have the abil
lty needed to float the stock and ob
tain the players needed It la possible
that they will make a success of the
venture. There are certainly enough
people to make It so but whether they
will go at It right, remains to be seen.
Of course there will be this differ.

clubs to war with while the American

will support a leading club; Pittsburg

In other fields: Cincinnati wants
winning club Ilk all others, and. if the
new Columbian boosters have th
money, they have all that is needed ex
cept the stlcktoltlveness which will
surely bring success providing they are
wise In spending the cash.
Harry Stelnfeldt, former Cub third
acker who passed a portion of the
Winter in Portland, had a tip on the
new league while here for he was of
fered the management of one of the
clubs. Stelny is still holding back on
an offer to boss the Houston club of
the Texas League and on a proffer of
a Job with Buffalo so must think the
Columbian worthy at least of some
consideration.
e e
While on the war talk it may be of
interest to note that five of the men
who played on the Chicago Nationals
shortly before the fighting of 1901 and
1902 are managing big league clubs this
year. The quintette consists of Jimmy
Callahan. Clark Griffith. Harry Wol-
verton. Bill Dablen and Frank Chance.
Grlf waa the first of the five to land
a managerial berth, branching out with
the Chicago Americans In 1901 and 1903
after which he went to New York until
1908 when Cincinnati gave his the "Call
of the Wild." Griff la with Washing
ton now. Callahan succeeded Griffith
at Chicago but relinquished his charge
to Fielder Jones In 1904 and now after
elgt yeara, will essay the managerial
end once more. -
Chance was the third to try his luck
as a field leader, taking np the Chicago
National reins when Frank Selee re
tired In 1904. In his seven years
Chance haa won two world's titles, four
National League pennanta and came In
twice as runner-up to the leading club.
Third place was his portion on the oth

Brief Sporting Notes. '
Carl Zamlock, former Seal heaver,
and last season with Sacramento, has
signed a contract to play with Cliff
Blankenshlp at Missoula In the Union
Association. Spokane was supposed to
have gobbled up the youngster.
The failure of Ralph Frary to land a
Job with the National League as an um
pire caused considerable surprise In
Portland today, as Spokane oWpatcnes
told of his signing a few days ago.
Frary originally turned down the
Northwestern and went to tno Union
League because of the stipulation In
the contract that he be allowed to Jour
ney eastward at the bid of President
Lynch. Lynch's list of appointees does
not contain Frary's name, but the Na
tional bead may be waiting to see how
his new men turn out.
There may be something in a name,
after alL Roy Hltt batted .214 In the
Coast League last year, and Bill Rapiis
.279. Fanning of the Seals clouted
only .176.
The Spokane road uniforms next sea
son will be of blue, supplanting the
dark brown of 1911, which Manager
Ostdlek believes was a hooioo. Spo
kane players have never before worn
blue vestment.

Catcher Danny Shea, another ir.a'nstay,
says he is also through with "Dug."
Patsy CRourk has signed up two
new inflelders reputed to be th goods
Shortstop Lehr, of Philadelphia, and
Third Baseman Keaney. Lehr batted
.327 last season.

American League writers think that
Harry Wolverton made a mlstase when
he let Catcher Blair go to Hochestcr.
New York now has but one catcher,
Sweeney, to rely upon.
After the schedules are out, the next
thing the fans will want to know Is
who will pitch the opening game. The
Northwestern schedule Is billed for its
annual Spring appearance next Sunday
morning.

O.-W. R. & N.
Out on the Mount Scott ground at
Tremont yesterday morning the Inde
pendents failed by three goals to four
in their attempt to. reach Mount Scott
at the head of the Oregon League, but
only after a magnificent struggle with
half the interest crowded into the last
five minutes of the game.
The homesters started downhill in a
confident manner, with the visitors
rather cramped in their movements on
the narrow ground, persistent work
among the forwards resulting in a goal
some 10 minutes after the start. Three
more goals came Mount Scott's way at
regular Intel . als, and they looked like
they wore piling up a big score when
the Independents broke through,
charged down the back's kick, and re
duced the lead Just before half-time.
With thi goal as an encouragement
and with the advantage of the "slope,
the Independents gradually had mora
of the game, so that when a second,
but rather lucky goal accrued the team
began to have hopes of drawing level.
These hopes were further strengthened
when Grier notched a third and with
Mount Scott failing to Increase the
lead, excitement among the spectators
ran high.
The home defense, however, held out
till the final whistle blew, leaving
Mount Scott strongly entrenched at the
top of the table, lae lineup:

With a more energetic pivot the for
wards would have done better In the
first half, while the backs were too
prone to hang back close to the goal,
though both cleared well.
In the other game North Bank de
feated the O.-W. R. & N. on the Co
lumbus field by 4-1 in a somewhat one
sided affair, for the losers were two
men short all the time. Voss In goal
made some brilliant saves and could
not be blamed for any of the shots that
beat him. The North Banks have a
valuable player in Stilman, who turned
out for the first time, for he has a
safe kick and knows now to tackle.
