AMBITION STIRS FLING ER Beany Anxious to Bo Completely Re. instated by National Conunij. sion 6o He Can Take His Talents- to Big Leevs-uo. BT. W. J. PBTRAIN. Did you ever heai ot the Duck Hol low baseball olub of Council Blunts, Ia.T Well, neither did the writer un til Benny Henderson, star twirler of the Beaver band, imparted the more or Jess startling intelligence that he rot his start at the National pastime as nmger for the Duck Hollows. Incidentally, the tail twirler, who basks in the favor of all Portland tandem, tvas born, rolBed and educated in Council Bluffs. That town has been- famous for a good many thines, one of which the fact that It la across the river from Omaha, but some day Ben Henderson may put it more prom lnently on the map. And while he Is doing It ha will also add aome to the fame of Portland as the.produoer of major leagne talent. Speaklnar of the "big brush", it might be well to rememtJer that Benny himself Is to blame for his present position in the minor circuit, and while all his friends here would like to see him slanting 'era across against tne Dig fellows, it is probably quite fortunate for Portland that he became an outlaw four years ago. If he had not, he would probably now be doing valiant service for the Cleveland Am erican League team, or some other major organization. Rourke Secures Youngsters. At any rate, Ben Henderson got his baseball start with the aforementioned Duck Hollows, and while that club never had any rating in an organized league, aomeone from Omaha tipped tne tail youngster to Bill Rourke, then owner of the Omaha club, and Bill promptly Induced Benny to wear an Omaha uniform. Breaking In with Omaha In 1903 as a green youngster. Just off the Coun cii ii una iota they are some green when they come oft these barren wastes Benny did flne. work for Rourke. In fact he did so well that the Omaha magnate, who seldom kept any players outside of Johnny Gon- dlng and "Millionaire" Welch longer than one season, elected to hold Benny for the season of 1904 as well. Hender son pitched the early part of the sea son of 1904 for Omaha, hut shortly alter July 4 he was sold to the In dianapolis club of the American As. sodation. Hie got away from Indian. spoils In 1905 and was signed as the manager of the Guthrie, Oklahoma,. team. In the Fall of that season, he signed with McCredle and reported to the Portland club at Los Angeles. A dispute arose between the Portland and Guthrie clubs and Henderson was ordered back to the Oklahoma team. He showed such form while with Portland that McCredle immediately re-opened negotiations with the -Guth rle club, and aided by his old friend Jay Andrews, the Portland magnate succeeded In purchasing Henderson's release from Guthrie, and the follow ing Spring, 190f, Henderson reported to the Beavers. Friendship la Disastrous. That Spring McCredle elected to train at Stockton, and this eventually proved disastrous for Henderson. the young player formed a friendship for Cy Morelng, then a leadinjr sports man of Stookton, and this friendship really resulted in four years banish ment for the big Portland twirler. During 1908 Ben Henderson pitched grand baseball for the Portland team. and the success of the 'dub in winning the Pacific Coast League pennant by the biggest margin in the history of the organization, was due mostly to his wonderful work. After the pennant race of 1906 was run. Henderson went to Stockton and Cy Morelng gave him and Pat Dono- hue Jobs for the Winter. The next Spring, 190T, Morelng organized the outlaw California State League, and Instead of reporting- to Portland, Henderson swore off allegiance to or ganized baseball and joined Moreing's outlaw team. An inexperienced youngster at that time, and also probably piqued be. cause Bill Essiok had been sold to the Cincinnati National League team along with "Larry" McLean, and that he had apparently been overlooked. though he had a much better winning record than had Essick, he listened to the honeyed words of Cy Moreing and lumped his contract with Port land. For four years Henderson re mained In the outlaw league, durlnir the seasons of 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910. Last Spring McCredle secured his conditional reinstatement through the co-operation of J. CaL Ewing and other California magnates, and the big pitcher. has been doing yeoman ser vice lor the .Beavers tnis season. Benny Hsi Ambition. Benny is anxious to make up for his mistake, being extremely desirous pf a chance in the big league. As he was born in 1888 he is but little over 25 yeara of age and has many more years of baseball ahead of him. As a pitcher he has few superiors. He is rated among the five best pitchers of the Pacific Coast League, and his .work for the Portland team has helped keep the club within striking distance of the pennant.- If Hendersons services are not purchased by some major league club this Winter and nis complete rem fCRttement secured for he Is still under a ban by the National Commission, which prevents his playing elsewhere, than on the Pacific Coast he will not be with Portland longer than next season, for his "sentence" will expire after the seasc of 1912. It is possible that his status may be cleared up this Fall and he may yet wear a Cleveland uniform in 1912. POST-SEASOX SERIES IS V PLAY Scheme in South Looks to Organiza tion of AH-Star Team.

If the series is arranged it would enable local fans to see how the major league players stack up against the Coasters. . Man ager Long, who will collect the men to make up the all-star team of big leaguers, declares that he could gather enough major league stars to make uo two teams. Such well-known diamond celebrities as Rube Ellis, Walter John son, Jack Bliss, Duffy Lewis. Ping Bo die, Hopper, Gregg, Hal Chase and oth ers usually put In the Winter in Cali fornia and it would be easy to select a strong nine to oppose the Coast pen nant winners. The drawback to the proposition is Cal Swing's objeotlon to prolonging the already somewhat lengthy baseball season on the Coast. Cal has declared tlfat the padlook will be put on Recrea tion immediately after the regular Coast League season ends and it may os mai ne win not. cousiaer tne exten sion of a week to allow for the post season series. Ewlng is also against the playing of such an Independent team as the all-stars would be. He thinks that a team without a head or organization to control it might pos sibly do something to injure the stand, lng of the National pastime. DIAMOND rVJTJIUES ALAK3I National OommisMcii Sf r Be Asked to Modify Rules. BT. LOTTIB, Mo, Sept. 18. SpeclaLy It is thought probable that the Na tional Baseball Commission and the Dlreotors of the National and Ameri can League will have to oome together and modify the diamond rules so that there will be less accidents in the future. Suoh a move had to be mads in football with the result that last season was practically free from seri ous injuries. Of the two games baseball and football the former appears to he the more strenuous now, judging by the long list of players who have been hurt this season. Never before in the history of tha game have there been so many play ers obliged to remain out irom in juries, and many of them have been serious enough to cause alarm. Most of the accidents have been caused by base running. The game has become so fast and Inside ball has been so highly developed that success really seems to hinge upon ability to run the bases. It has been sliding Into bases that has resulted in a number of bad in buries. .. Also it has been through players being spiked or knocked down Dy TSfl ruuners mat uavo uiunu vuiwi bad accidents. Probably.- the player who has Men the most dangerously hurt of any In the game Is Frank Chanoe, manager of the Cubs, and because of his en forced absence from the lineup the Cubs will blame the loss of the Na tional League pennant, lr they lose out. to that fact.
