12 TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY. JANUARY 17, 1918. NORTHWEST LEAGUE MEETING IS TODAY I FORMER MAJOR LEAGUE AND COAST LEAGUE CATCHER NOW IN UNCLE SAM'S SERVICE.

The 1'ortland mogul had nothing to say regarding what might transpire today In the Sound City. He has not been In communication with any of the league direct ore. but before he left lat night he said that any schedule the magnates agreed upon would be satisfactory to him. It Is not likely that the Northwest rn League officials will be able transact all of their business toda The matter of making out a schedu which will meet with the approval i all the directors Is quite a task. How ever, the boys will play ball when the get together today, and ought to de ride on the player and salary limit, length of schedule and apportioning of the opening and holiday dates. The personnel of the circuit will be one of the biggest problems tbs direc tors will have to discuss. The probabl makeup of the league. If tbey decide on six clubs, will be Portland. Seattle, Tacoma. Spokane. Butte and Grea Falls. It may bs that the league will consist only of four clubs until th conclusion of the war. In that even the league most likely will Includ Portland. Seattle. Tacoma and elthe Fpokane or Vancouver. One of the reasons why Judge lie Credie preferred to stay in the Coast league Is cited when the question transportation between Portland and Knokane la mentioned. It costs only a f -w dollars more per player to travel to San Francisco, where the teams play to a population of nearly 1.000.000 per sons (including San Francisco. Oakland and Alameda), than It does to travel between Portland and Spokane, where the teams play to about 100.000 popu lation. job x itit-JZA I ORTEGA IS IN CITY V) v - V.J DEL BAKER IN CITY OR (HIGH Former Catcher Now Member of U.

McCredle'a letters have the outward appearance of being brimful of Interesting news, but the ex-fort land manager does nothing but tell Jokes about a baldheaded reporter who Is -somewhere In the united Mates. McCredle'a epistle received yesterday contained no news regarding any play ers he might have signed for the Port land team. Judge McCredss has not riven up hope that his nephew has for gotten entirely about the local club. Walter realises the condition of affairs In the Northwestern League, and un daubtedly will make known the names of any players he has signed as soon as he arrives In Salt Lake. KTORrY gathk.ium; forfcast Question of Deriding on Number of Club It Big Ivue. SEATTLE. Wash, Jan. li. (Special.) The launching of a new Northwest ern League Is the man-slsed task con fronting the men who direct the base ball affairs of the Northwest tomorrow. when the annual meeting of the circuit will open In this city. The future of the game here rests noon the action of the club owners, and banc ball followers all over the West are waiting for the result of the meet ing. The old organisation will be re constructed Into a wartime circuit, and President Hrewrtt expects every direc tor to be in hand to take part In the Important ar-.sion. Realising that conditions Justify the making over of the league, yet believ ing that the game has as big a plar to fill as ever before. President Blewstt Is looking forward to the coming sea son in an iptlmistir llicht. The Seat tle head knows that thers are a lot of wrinkles to be smoothed out and a !! of matters to be decided upon In tomorrow's session, but he Is firm In his betief that the Northwestern League will enjoy a successful season In lK. That the meeting will he a stormy one Is forecast by the advance dope which comes from Vancouver, from Fpokane and from the Montana cities. Every director has a few Ideas of his own as to bow the league should be run, and It Is prnbaMe that It will take several days before a working agree ment can be reached. The matter of a circuit Is the ques tion which will csuse most of the dis cussion. Whether a four-club, s'n eight-dun or a six-club league will be operated, and which cities will hold franchises, are the little matters which are bound to dent the harmony of the rsslon. From Vancouver Bob Brown Is down with his war togs on, looking for the bird who started the rumor about dropping anrouver from the 1'ague. Runs Hall will be over from Tacoma to Insist upon a full schedule of home games. Farr. of Spokane, wants a short schedule, while the Mon tana directors want to know Just where they stand. Altogether It prom ises to be a merry little family row before everything Is settled. R.ewett's plan for giving Camp I.ewls baseball will come up for dis cussion. The president has been as busy as a bird dog; Investigating the chances of playing at American Lake, and It Is possible that an announcement will bs made at the coming meeting. The questions of player limit, salary limit, length of season and league rating will be acted upon, while other matters of routine will be gotten out of the way this afternoon. A bright spot In the meeting will be the voting of a franchise to Portland. Judge McCredle will bs sleeted director, and "he baseball !ralns of the Portland owner will figure strongly In the deciding of the Important matters 4ii CLUBMEN ARK IX SERVICE Winged 'M" Institution Leads In Number of Men In Army.

The local f:sht colony was Increased yesterday with the arrival from Cali fornia of Battling Ortega, the sensa tional cian Francisco middleweight scrapper, who will meet Al Sommers at the Eleventh-street Playhouse next Wednesday night. Jimmy Duffy, the fastest piece of fighting machinery local fistic fans have clued their optics to for many days, returned to Portland with Ortega and will meet Frankla Tucker in the aemi-wlndup. The arrival of the two California battlers together with Promoter Flan agan s announcement that he had signed Weldon Wing and Billy Mas- ott for a six-round engagement on the same card with Ortega and ttommers and Duffy and Tucker were the chief happenings in affairs pugllstlc yester day.

In other words, If you were to cover the faces of both boys you would be unsble to say who was who. so nearly alike are the boys In appearance.

Baker, whose nome is at Sherwood few miles from Portland, had some ur gent business to attend to in connec tion with his farm and managed to se cure a furlough from his commanding officer.

Final Round French-Canadlai Shoves His Real Form and Lands Telling U'ppercuta. SAN DIEGO, Cal.. Jan. 16. (Special.) Frank Barrieau, French-Canadian battler, earned a decision at Dreamland arena tonight over Jimmy Darcey (Val ley Trambitas), the Judge's award coming at the end of four rather tame rounds, which found both boxers on their feet and without a mark to show for their exchange of blows. A crowd In one of the prettiest and fastest games of ice hockey ever played at the Portland Ice Palace the Portland Rose buds went down to defeat, 1 to 0, at the hands of Vancouver last night, after 12 minutes and 38 seconds of overtime playing. For three periods both septets staged la beautiful battle. The wonderful work of Goalkeepers Murray and Lehman was the feature of the game. The only score of the game came after a most exciting scrimmage in front of Portland's goal net. in which practically all the players of both teams figured. Lloyd Cook, of Vancouver, managed to evade the ever watchful eye of Tommy Murray and shot the rubber disc into the net and the boys went to the showers, with Vancouver leading the league and Portland occupying the cel lar position. Fans Get Many Thrills. A large and enthusiastic crowd watched the eontest, which, gave the fans a thrill every minute. While Port land played a great game and managed Del Baker, Able Seaman. been riddled by enlistment. During the Winter there was a wealth of promis ing material In college, but athlete after athlete has answered the call to arms. Michigan has a strong conference schedule and will send a team to thi athletic carnival of the University of Illinois at Urbana on March 20. yard next season. Baker, who is major league catcher in every sense of the word, played with San Francisco last season. He was recalled by De troit and was to have received another trial under the "big tent." According to Hughle Jennings, manager of De troit, the only thing which has kept Baker from being a regular backstop was bis inability to stand the hot weather. As far as receiving, pegging and brains go Baker was all to the "gravy." He always could pickle the old ball in a pinch. Baker has a brother named Glen at ine iigiit opened with Darcey en tirely on the defensive. He refused to lead In the first round, although the Canadian openly taunted him with lack of aggressiveness. . This round was Barrieau's. The second and third were also tame, with Darcey having a very slight shade. In the fourth and final round, Darcey opened up and Barrieau showed his real form. He repeatedly beat his heavier opponent to the punch and landed several telling uppercuts. His speed was much greater than Darcey's, who was repeatedly mad-e to miss. INDIVIDUAL HOCKET SCORES. Oms.

Beside sthe Baker brothers, there is a big league twirler in camp who an swers to the monaker of Paul Strand, who pitched for Seattle and went so well that the Boston Red Sox grabbed onto him. Paul's weakness was his wildness, but now that he is a member of Uncle Sam's league, where they sys tematize everything from soup to nuts. and incidentally baseball will be In cluded in the dally menu at Bremerton. Strand ought to make a valuable flln- ger for Del Baker to work with. "Bremerton is a nice place.

Lehman and Taylor were the shin ing lights for Vancouver until Lloyd Cook stepped into the breech with his only score of the game. Taylor was here, there and everywhere on the ice and never rested for a second. Lehman stopped enough shots aimed at Van couver's goal net to have him decorated with the Order of the Vvizards. Offside Play Costly. It would be hard to pick out any bright star in Portland's lineup. Tom my Dunderdale and Laughlin shoved the) puck up and down the ice and mixed in the thickest of the battle, but neither were able to register a score. Eddie Oatman was never idle for moment and in the second period shoved the puck into the net on a beau tiful pass from Dunderdale, but Referee Ion blew his whistle calling Tobin off-sld and the score did not count This was the nearest Muldoon's war riors came to scoring. Both teams played a wonderful brand of hockey in the third period and were fighting every minute. Only the stel lar work of the two goalkeepesr pre vented a score, because the players were continually raining the puck to wards the net, but were unable to make it safe. Checking Is Feature. When the referee blew his whistle for the overtime session a cloud of fog enveloped the boys in the far corner of the rink, but it soon passed out of existence. The fans were treated to some great tanks. In addition to the natatorlum in the main station, will be constructed at Nationals' Star Pitcher Expected Deferred Classification. CHICAGO. Jan. 1.
