iO TEAMS LOOK GOOD McCredie Pins Great Faith in His Two Clubs. XPECTS TO GET SHINN Owner or Portland Baseball Xines Confident Secretary Farrell 'Will Return Coast League riajcr to Hint. Judge W. W. McCredie. president of the Portland Baseball Club, came over from Vancouver yesterday for theSur pose of fanning- awhile before he roes to Seattle on Monday to hold court at that place for Judge riunt. Judge Mc Credie told of the prospects of the baseball season, and also of Cal Ewtng and the Shlnn case. He believes firmly that Shinn -will be awarded to Portland on or before the season opens, and expects Farrell to rule on the case soon. . Speaking of baseball and the pros pects for the season. Judge McCredie said: "I look for the greatest year Port land has ever had in baseball. Contin uous ball Is not goinfr to prove a fail ure, for we will have two first-class clubs, and expect to maintain each of them near the top In both leagues. "Walters team has already demonstrat ed that It possesses class, and we have no fears on that score. "This man Armbruster Is goin? to prove the best catcher in the league. He realizes that ho has been his own enemy in the past, and he writes me that he has determined to go back to the big leagues again. Charley Street did it, and I be..eve Armbruster will do likewise. At any rate, we have prom ised to assist him to the best of our ability, if he keeps faith with us. Mur ray is also a good i..an. so we are well supplied back of the hat. I really be lieve Walter has a splendid team this season, a better one than last year. "As for Casey's team, some fans have asked me if I did not believe it to be weak, but I do not think It is by any means. Just now it Is merely in prac tice, and has not played any games ilke the Coast team, and therefore the fans do not realize how good it is. "Wait Until Cas!y has played a few games and watch them warm up to this bunch, we have picked out players of merit, and I think they will prove to have the goods. However, we are pre pared to replace them within a week with other players at any time they fall down, and we do not depend upon the Coast League club to do so. either. "Wa'ter has options on several players, and these may appear at Medford be fore the traln.ng reriod has expired. Catcher Beaumont is on the way, and this fellow Harrigan appears to be a likely chap." Last ...glit Judge McCredie received a teli grain from Charley Graham, an nouncing that Catcher Ceaumont was stranded at Sacramento, having had his railroad ticket stolen en route. Judge McCredie Immediately wired Graham to finance Beaumont and send him through on the Urst train, which mean., that the catcher should Teport at Medt'ord today. Beaumont Is the backstop Walter McCredie drafted from tho Connecticut League for the Northwestern Club, and whose presence was somewhat In doubt owing to the Portland office not having been notified of hJs departure until two days ago. Since he Is on the Coast, a great deal of worry has been dispelled. . Spalding's Official Baseball Gutde of 1909 has Just made Its appearance.

There was a large crowd present, enthu siastic for the team favored. Companv C was first to bat but did not score. Then Company E tried her luck with the same result. In the second inning Company C started' the fireworks with a run and when company E's turn came, it doubled that and brought in two runs. Then Com pany c made three more. Company B made one more, then Company C went to pieces and the balloon went up. Henderson did some good work for Com pany B, striking out li men and allowing only one man to take a base on halls.

With 45 new members, the Portland Cricket Club will start the season of 1MB with prospects of a splendid vear. rne club has taken a decided impetus, largely through the efforts of the presi dent, Charles Blakely. Mr. Blakely is one of the most enthusiastic cricketers or Portland and a very generous sup porter of the club. . " members have secured the services of M. Coppinger, a well-known profes- M. CopplDK-er, - Coach for Team of Portland Cricket Club. sional coach. Hc was for two vears coach for the Liverpool Cricket Club, in England, and last year was coacli for the Victoria. B. c. club. It was main ly through his efforts that Victoria last year won the Pacific Coast champion ship. During the Winter months a consider able amount of work has been done in getting the grounds in perfect condition, and Coppinger says the Portland cluh will without doubt have the best play ing grounds'in this section of the coun try. This is mainly due to the untiring efforts of the captain, E. Fenwick. The club grounds are situated at North Mount Tabor, two blocks from the Montavilla carllne: All Interested in the national game of England will no doubt be cordially welcomed by the members. Practically all players of last year's team are again available and with the assistance of several promising new members, the team should be materially strengthened. Dates are now being arranged for a number of matches, and the club ex pects" to be visited by strong teams from victoria and Vancouver, B. C, Seattle and Tacoma, and for the first time in many years a team from California will be here to compete with the Portland eleven. The annual tournament will be held this year In Vancouver, B. C. Port land will be able to send a stronger team than ever before and there has al ready developed a great keenness among the members to obtain places on the team. Practice has already started and pre liminary matches will commence the first week In April. During this season, as last, thare will tie three elevens se lected from the members, who will take part In matches every Saturday after noon, except when the club is compet ing with an outside team. The three teams will be captained respectively by E. Fenwick, George Shipley and W. G. Smith. Through the generosity of Messrs. W. G. Smith. A. M. Crocker and another member of the club three valuable prizes were awarded last year to the best bowler, the best all-round cricketer and the player making the best batting average. Some of the club's supporters have already intimated their intention of doing the same this year. Although Interest in the club con tinues to grow, there are no doubt many cricketers in town who have not yet become associated with the club. Any one wishing to obtain information may do so by communicating with the secretary. J. C. Cummings, room 704 Wells-Fargo building. 3 POINTS ON FIELD GOAL IMPORTANT CHANGE MADE IN FOOTBALL HULKS. Two Rashes Allowed Before Kick. Five-Yard Penalty for Fake Pass. New Rule About Ends. NEW YORK. March 27. An import ant change In the football rules was made by the Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee, which completed its sessions here today, in the reduction of points for a goal from the field from four to three. The object of the change. It was said, was to prevent two goals' from the field counting more than a hard-won touchdown and goal. Members of the committee say the change will reduce the importance o a team's star field goal kickers and make It harder for a mediocre team with a good wicker to beat out a bet ter all-round team without a star kicker. Another change of importance was designed to prevent confusion in in flicting penalties when two penalties had been Incurred by one team for the same play by giving the offended team the option of saying which penalty should be imposed. A change was made in the rules re lating to a touchback so as to relieve some of the hardships of the team down under its goal, especially when it has been forced, there otherwise than by rushing. The new rule gives the team making the touchback two rushes before the kick, -while the old rule only provided for the option of kicking out or keeping the ball for a scrimmage on the line. A rule was1 adopted providing that when a center feints or makes a fake attempt JS-arJiiJjaU, his-tcam shall be penalized five yards. Another change makes the rules provide that no pen alty can be imposed to carry the ball over the line either for a touchdown or a safety, it was also provided that hereafter play must immediately stop when the refere. v. !-.-. i - ..hiati. a. fouL The rule relating to the forward I j,"DCo cnangea to provide that the ends who are more than one foot behind the scrimmage line shall be out of play and cannot handle the ball. Heretofore the rules have oontatned no diagrams of the positions of the var ious players and this will be remedied by its inclusion hereafter. An official comittee on the interpre tation of disputes was appointed to serve through the next season. its members are: Walter Camp, of Tale, chairman; E. K. Hall. Paul Dashiel and W. s. Langford. Crawford Blagdon. of Hartford and p. H. Davis, of Prince ton, were appointed on the central board of officials in place of J B. Fine, of Princeton, and B. C. W. Sav age, of Obcrlin. resigned.
