"VICTORIA. B. C, Nov. 20. Mayor Albee and Citizens of Portland: On be half of the world's tour, accept our Bincerest thanks for the great interest taken by Portland. We are carrying the flag of Portland emblematic of your hospitality around the world with us. James J. Callahan, Charles Com lskey, John J. McGraw." Mayor Albee yesterday received the above telegraphic message from the chief officials in the "Around-the-World" tour of the New York Giants and the Chicago Americans. It was sent as the voyagers were on the point of embarking for Yokohama, Japan, on the first leg of their journey. The flag referred to was presented at the Portland banquet by Mayor Al bee in behalf of W. W. McCredie and members of the Boosters' Club, Tour Will Advertise Portland. Portland will be represented on the big tour, and, as the game here was the last played before embarkation, the athletes will be sure to talk con siderable Portland en route. While the banquet in honor of the visiting athletes was a success, con siderable bitterness was caused by the non-appearance of Manager McGraw, of New York. His absence was attributed to the management of the Oregon Hotel, where the New York Giants were quar tered. Charles Wright, president of the Ore gon Hotel Company, took quick steps to head off this sentiment, telegraph ing McGraw for a statement. The New York manager replied from Seattle that he did not show up because his wife had burled her mother only a few days ago. McGraw's telegram was as follows: Seattle. Nov. 19. Charles Wright, Presi dent Oregon Hotel Company, Portland: Re port circulated In Portland that myself and cithers of the Giants absented ourselves from banquet at Multnomah Hotel last evening through interference of manager or by sug gestion of managment of Oregon Hotel Is false. My personal non-appearance was due to the fact that Mrs. McGraw burled her mother last Saturday. JOHN J. M'GRAW. McCredie Recalls Wager. John K. Tener, new president of the National League, is a close friend of W. W. McCredie's, for the two baseball lights sat only a few seats apart In the National Congress in 1910. "Come to think of it," remarked the Portland magnate, yesterday, "Tener owes me a hat. He wagered me that Spring that Pittsburg would finish with a higher percentage than Portland. We won the pennant out here and I beat him, but thus far have not received the chapeau." When Fielder Jones was in the East a fortnight ago, baseball officials on the inside tipped It off to him that the Tener deal was all cut and dried. Mr. Jones thinks the Pennsylvania Governor will be a good baseball head. He Is a big, strapping, good-natured man and knows baseball through long association. "What they appear to need In the National League," said Mr. Jones, "is a man who will dominate like Ban Johnson In the American. They need someone to run the league. Instead of being run by It."

The remarks we overheard were enough to make us feel that we had done something really worth while in the way of bar ' gain-giving. Many of the coats sold were actually worth $18, $20, $25 and some $30. This week we propose to outdo last week in selling overcoats. Many new coats are added to the lot, and as the days and evenings are beginning to get chilly, they are being snapped up in a hurry. If you have not traded in this store, we urge you to come to this sale of Overcoats. It will certainly be to your advantage.

Nov. 20. (Special.) Ad Wolgast, ex-lightweight .cham pion of the world, retains his title as champion check stopper. For the sec ond time in six months the Michigan "Wildcat has reconsidered after 'clos lng a business deal and "nipped" real estate men. The first of the week he sent a check from Cadillac, Mich., for $3a00 as a payment on his $17,000 pur chase of the Heath ranch at Browns boro, and then telegraphed Medford banks to stop payment. His first pay- men of 91000 on the ranch was cash, and the pugilist could not recall It. On the authority of Wolgast Miles and Barkdull purchased equipment for the ranch, spending nearly $1000 of their own money. A Mr. Brent, of San Francisco, was Installed as manager of the ranch. He left a week ago. Wolgast once before stopped pay ment on a-check given on the purchase of the Cantrell ranch. Sporting Sparks.

Murphy lands on English shores this week and the sporting edl tor of the London Times will have four columns of prepared copy on hand every day for a month. m The attempt to Impeach Coach Wil liams, of Minnesota, will likely gain new strength with the Gophers' de feat by Chicago. After Minnesota's defeat of Wisconsin a Williams par tisan wrote a very sarcastic note di rected toward his accusers. Now the latter contingent is having its last laugh. Sam Crawford knocked a line drive a distance of 492 feet at Muskogee, Okla., according to the officials of the world s tour. A surveyor toted out his instruments after the game and measured the distance. This Is a new world's record, barring a couple of clouts Nick Williams inserted in the annual game between the Portland Beavers and Colts.
