Benny's contract contains the proviso that ITesldent McCredle hold out 1100 per month during the season which amount shall be forfeited at any time the popular heaver shows any laxity In bla training.

Greenwell la now the only hurler who is not lined up and it Is barely possible that the Massachusetts lad will be traded to some Eastern club aa he does not desire the long Journey to the West Coast. McCredle received a letter from Eddie Swandrr. formerly of the Oakland club, a few davs ago. chronicling the future of Greenwell In the rosiest terms. wtndft Is now play ing In the Connecticut league and de clares Greenwell la the clasa of the clrcult- McCredle Is still hoping for a good pitcher or catcher from Cleveland as he has a substantial balance on his side of the ledger from the Steen-Ryan nale la.t Fall. Walter announced yes terday that his great outfielder and pitcher brought him 18000 from the Naps, this amount, of course, to be taken out In players. Doane and Howley are two of the men secured In ex change. Krtt'S, the outfielder who batted .tit in the Union Association last season, ha also s-nt In his 1113 contract to President W. W. McCredle.

MrCredle bellevea that Jess Raker, the former Spokane southpaw who waa secured on Thursdsy by the Seals, will add greatly to the strength to San Francisco's hurling staff, although Mao thinks he I shy a good curve ball. Paker passed the entire season of 1911 with the Chicago Americans when he trained fame and not much else by his o-calId 'fog ball." Chicago probably haa strings on the Northwestern Leaguer next seaaon. Baker.

Vean GreKK will not become an outlaw player. He so announced em phatically when seen by the writer thla week at ills home In Clarkston, Wash. Busily engaged In mixing pias ter. In tha pursuit of his trade, tha Cleveland atar left-hander managed to pause long enough between mixing to discuss baseball and bla plans for tha future, and talked readily of his In tentions for the coming season. I have no Intention of ever playing outlaw baseball, and whoever sprang that plpedream that I had received a big offer from the Columbian League sure hits a fine brand of dope. I know what I am worth, what I ran do, and what I want, and I am quite sure that Cleveland will do the right thins; by me during the coming season. "At any rate." continued the Port land favorite, "I atn not going to lose any sleep over the proposition, for I am too busy just now to bother much about baseball, which is the least of my troubles. If Cleveland cornea through I hope to be with McCredle'a bunch for a week or so at banta Maria, for It la my Intention to workout with the Portland bunch before reporting to Harry Davis In Louisiana. Ana mm Good aa Ever. "My arm Is Just aa good as It ever waa in my life and I am working out a little every night. Dave, my brother. who Is going to take another fling at making good with Portland this sea son, and I, together with several of tha boya around here workout every night for. as you aee, the weather here Is Hue and we get a chance to do soma work every day. "As for this outlaw talk, 'can' It. No blamed fool atunta for me In this game. I'll either play for Cleveland for what I have requested or I won't play at all. and that is all there Is to It. I think I am worth what I have asked of the Cleveland club, and I am quits sure they are fair enough to grant my request. "If they don't, well, dad has 00 acres up In the Alberta country and a bunch of cattle there, ao he and I can go there and get rich quick, maybe, raising beef for the markets of tha world. You see I have developed soma high finance Ideas, but my demand for S0O0 bucks from Cleveland Is not one of them, for I believe I am worth that much, anyway, and, furthermore, I figure that 400 acrea In Alberta ought to bring forth that much and more be sides, so I am merely figuring to set even If I play baseball. Ball Player la Slave. "A ball player Is pretty much of a slave, anyway, nowadays, ao I don't know but that I'd be better off if I chucked the game entirely and buckled down to cattle raising with dad. He don't Uka the Idea of me playing ball, anyway, and the only reason he agrees to It at all Is that he figures I am educating myself by seeing something of the country. Anyhow, that is the practical way to look at It, and I think he la right. However, no outlaw for mine. It s $5000. Clveland and the big league or up to Alberta cattle raising for me." Concluding his assertion Gregg re turned to his work at plastering the new church upon which he la working. He expects to complete this Job in a few days and haa . another contraot awaiting. " He asserts that at the rate Clarks ton and Lewlston are growing he could remain here and make more than $5000 a year and be at home all the time, so It can b aeen that the. famoua aouthpaw Is not playing any holdup game, and Is using common sense aa his argument to . get what he wants from Cleveland.

Vancouver avenue and other streets form a district proposed to be im proved by hard Burface, but Chairman Baker askod Councilman Maguire, in whose ward the territory lies, whether the property would stand the assess ment. It was said that part of It would not ar.d the committee was about to recommend rescinding pro ceedings, when Councilman Burgard asked that It be held In the box for further Investigation. This was done. Part of the proposed Improvement could be borne without hardship by the residents living along it, said Mr. Ma guire. but those living further down on the Peninsula could not stand it. It Is probable that the. Improvement will be ordered as far as the property can stand It.

Chairman Baker asked City Engineer Hurlburt yesterday whether It is safe to lay concrete pavement, as proposed for Maiden avenue. In Sellwood. Mr. Hurlburt said he would cover it with sufficient asphalt to protect sewers. There has been considerable trouble with cement washing off pavement Into the sewers and clogging them. Mr. Hurlburt said the only pavement giv ing this trouble Is Hassam. SENTIMENT lS DIVIDED Sewer Committee Unagreed on Kind of Material for Gulch. Whether or not vitrified brick shall be specified for use In the bottom of the proposed Sullivan's Gulch sewer, one of the largest contemplated for this sea son, probably will be determined at the next session of the Council. Discussion had at the meeting of the sewer com mittee yesterday Indicates that there will be a division of sentiment among the members and the outcome is. In doubt. A special meeting of the com mittee will be had Monday morning at 10 o'ofcck to go farther into the de tails of the subject. Testerday morning there were but four members of the committee present and the vote was tied. Councilmen Clyde and Wilhelm said they favored brick specifications as well as stone blocks, as they believed that would bring about a reduction In the bids and thus benefit the property owners who must pay for the work. Councilmen Wallace and Menefee. the latter chair man of the committee, said they were doubtful as to the value of brick for such use, and therefore were opposed. City Engineer Hurlburt Bald he knows stone blocks are all right for the job, whereas he does not know that brick will stand the wear.
