THE HORNING OREGONTAN, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 19G2.
TELLS HOW IT HAPPENED
MANAGER VIGXBUX EXPLAINS
THOSE FOUnTEEX DEFEATS.
Lnclc ana Umpires Were Against;
Portland Player All the Time
, Good Bnll Played Novr.
The muchly beaten Portland baseball
team arrived home yesterday morning, a
bit the -worse for the -wear and tear of 14
straight defeats, but ready to enter the
struggle again, and prepared to meet ail
comers. Contrary to the general opinion,
Portland has played good baseball, as
some of the scores will testify. In every
game of the trip, the Portland men called
forth the best efforts of their opponents,
and had Manager Vlgneux. so they say,
and his cohorts, been treated fairly, "they
vsrould have won several of the Motitana
games, and also the famous 15-innlng
game at Seattle.
Every member of the team says that
Portland has played in the hardest kind
of luck, and that the work of some of the
umpires was really "fierce." There seemed
to be a general disposition among tde
amateur umpires to give the home teams
the benefit of every close decision.
There is also a general feeling of indig
nation among the members of the team
against W. H. Lucas, president of the
league.
The doubling of "Vlgneux fine, and the
stubbornness of Lucas in upholding the
work of Umpire Mullane have turned the
local balltoesers against the league presi
dent, who is anything but popular wltn
them just now.
When seen yesterday, Manager Vlgneux
caid:
"There is no use rehearsing our trials
and tribulations, for they have been many,
and It would take too long to enumerate
them. The team was disorganized at
Butte, and at Helena we got the worst
of every close decision. Flsk as an um
pire, is a perfect 'fatee alarm. From start
to finish, everything seemed to be against
us, no good luck or fortune coming our
way. But they say that the fortunes ot
war change sometimes, and I believe, now
that the hoodoo is broken, that Portland
will win her share of the games. The
boys have been playing gilt-edged ball,
and the people here cannot appreciate the
zeal with which we fought to wid the
Seattle series. Pitcher Wltbeck's work
yesterday was simply grand, the Seattle
eluggers being unable to find him.
"The trouble with the Mahaffey brothers
Is Unfortunate, but I firmly believe that
I was right In giving Joe his release, and
In suspending his brother. "We cannot
allow the discipline of our team to run
down. Louis Mahaffey can come back Into
the game at the expiration of his suspen
sion, if he so desires. I have my eye on
a- pitcher to fill Joe's position, and expect
to sign him within a few days.
"The report that I contemplated quitting
the league, merely because all things were
not coming our way. Is the hottest kind
of 'hot air. I never had any notion ot
quitting Portland, and the reports circu
lated In Montana are absolutely false and
without foundation. I still think that the
Portland team has it In the cards to win,
and I believe that Dugdale will have to
hustle. If he wins the coming ?erles."
The first game of this week will be
played on Thursday, with Salisbury .In
the box. On Friday, July 4, Engle and
"Witbeck- will each do a turn on tbf slab,
and Salisbury will reappear again on Sat
urday. Sunday's pitcher has not yet been
selected.

AS VIEWED BY SOUXD PAPERS.
Praise- and Blame for Portland's
Baaebnll Team.
Two of the Puget Sound papers have
a good opinion of the Portland baseball
team. Portus Baxter, the baseball critic
on the Post-Intelligence, hands the team
a great swell in his Sunday review of
the baseball situation. He takes all the
flayers down the line and pronounces
J them to be among the best in the 'league.'1
According to Baxter. "Portland has jgot
a great ball team and no'ialstake. They
,are right there every time, and no matter
how fast their opponents play they come
back with Just as good stuff."
The Tacoma Ledger also thinks that we
have a good aggregation of balltossers
and sympathizes with us In our string of
defeats. The Ledger Sunday review con
tained the following:
The feature of the past couple of week In
Pacific Northwst League circle has been the
phenomenal run of hard luck sustained by
Manager Sammy "Vlgneux and hla webfoot ag
grccttlon. Portland has a fast team all the
way through, and a good share of her de
feats can be put down to "baseball luck,"
pure and simple. As a matter of fact, there
Is no team In the league, outside of the Tigers,
that the average Tacoma fan would sooner
see win than Portland. If the flag can't oae
here moit of the people who follow Jne g&mo
would like to see Vlgneux pet It. Next choice
to Portland In this town Is Flftnncry.
Portland has a fast, clean-playing team,
which puts up a snappy game, winning or
losing. They have Ave mora games this com
ing week with Dugdale's bunch, and a week
from "Wednesday open in Tacoma with the
Tigers. Meanwhile, here's hoping they take
Seattle down the line hard during the next
flvo games.
The Seattle Times Is, however, not bo
favorable to Portland. "While Its weekly
article contains nb particular reference
to the merits or demerits of the team,
pains are taken to "roast" the Portland
management. It seems that that paper
considers that the little difference be
tween the Portland Club and President
Lucas was uncalled for, and that Port
land had no right to kick. The following
criticism of President "Whltemore and the
Portland fans generally shows the way
the Times looks at Portland's protest.
The truth of the matter Is, Portland Is sore
simply because she can't stand to lose- She
won so easily last year that the fans in that
village have yet to learn how to support a
losing team. Seattle has been through the
mill, thank you, and, while our sympathy and
tears are with the city that loses 11 or 12
straight games, nevertheless, why can't Pres
ident Whltemore be a sport and take his medi
cine like a man? This ceaseless roar against
the umpire and the league officials Is the ver
iest rot. The remedy lies in the hands ot
the league directors, and If they don't like the
present condition of things, suppose they call
a meeting of the board and make a few sweep
ing and radical changes.
ST. VRAIN IS "BLACKLISTED."
Minor League That Gets Pitcher
Will Have to Pat Up JfOOO.
TACOMA, June 30. St Vrain, the Taco
ma baseball pitcher who jumped to the
Chicago National Baseball Club, and who
was then "farmed out" to Memphis, has
been suspended by the executive- board of
the Association of Minor Leagues. He is
now "blacklisted," and In order to play
in any of the minor leagues, .00 must be
forthcoming. "Whether the Tacoma Club
will put this up. for St. Vraln, who Is
signed by Chicago for next year, is a ques
tion. Butte wanted L Vrain, and the
latter wanted to play with that team, and
if Tacoma declines to pay the "blacklist"
release, Butte may feel that St. Vraln 13
worth that sum.
Refused to Play With St. Vraln.
MEMPHIS. Tonn., June SO. Little Rock
refused to play today with S. St. Vrain,
late of Chicago and Tacoma, pitching for
the locals, and the umpire awarded the
game to Memphis. Manager Finn claims
that Memphis has n6 right to use St,
Vraln, as Tacoma has a previous claim to
him, but this the Memphis manager dis
putes. Before the game a telegram 'was
received from President Nlcklln, of the
Southern League, forbidding St Vrain to
ploy, but Manager Frank declares he Is
within his rights and will continue to use
the Tacoma man.
Holly Joins the Helenan.
HELENA. Mont, June 30. Eddie Holly,
who has been playing in the California
League, arrived last night to Join the
Helena teami and will play third base
for the Senators. Saxe, the. Chicago ama

WALK-QUT OF MACHINISTS
UXIOX PACIFIC EMPLOYES STRIKE
IX LARGE AND SMALL SHOPS.
Preufdent Bnrr Says the Trouble Is
Due Entirely- to Labor
Agitators.
OMAHA, Neb.. June 30. In accordance
with a prearranged plan, a formal order
was Issued early today by President T. L.
Wilson, pf the International Association
of Machinists, for a general strike of
Union Pnclflc machinists, which order
went Into effect at 1 o'clock. The men's
demand Is a 5 per cent advance In wages
and that the company abandon the re
cently adopted piecework system. The
number ot men who walked out at the
large shops -of the system was not great,
but the order was generally obeyed. Al
ready the number of men at work had
been greatly depleted by the closing down
of the shops at Omaha, Cheyenne, North
Platte and Armstrong, Kan., and the cur
tailment of work at a number of small

shops by the company. The machinists,
however, include as strikers the entire
regular force of all these shops, and have
begun paying strike benefits to all of
their members who were employed at the
time of the closing down of the shops.
Vice-President .Wilson said benefits
woujd bo iwld to nearly 1500 men. To this
number 20) boilcrmakers are added, mak
ing the total number affected 1700. Rail-

The machinists tonight sent a commit
tee to Evanston. Strike leaders say this
Is an Important point and that the men
there do not fully understand the posi
tion of tho union. Tho committee expects
to have the machinists out at Evanston
In a day or two. President Kennedy, of the
local organization of boilermakers, said
today that there were but 30 boilermakers
at work on the entire system. The train
men and englnemen will not be drawn
into the strike. Leaders of these branches
of the service say It Is not their fight and
that no thought has been given to the
question of a sympathetic strike. The
machinists also agree that they do not ex
pect to receive any assistance from any
other labor organization, contenting
themselves with the statement that the
railroad cannot run Its trains for any
great length of time without machinists
and boilermakers, which they say cannot
be secured. Pickets will be placed at
shops and passenger stations .to keep the
officers of the union notified of the ar
rival of new men, and at all the large cit
ies committees will keep the local labor
officials Informed if new men are hired
to come to this city.
A representative of the Associated Press
called on President Burt today and asked
for a statement of the company's posi
tion with regard to the strike of the boil
ermakers and machinists.
"If you were to ask me why these men
arc striking, I could not tell you," said
Mr. Burt "We have a most excellent class
of men In our' employ and they are receiv
ing the highest scale of wages paid by
any railroad in tho country. The car
builders and blnckrmlths, and. In fact, all
the employes In the various other depart
ments, are satisfied with the wages they
are receiving.
"The demands of the machinists are that
they receive an Increase of 10 per cent in
wages and that the company do not adopt
the piecework system. These demanda are
unreasonable. Tho company now pays
about 10 per cent higher wages for this
class of work than other roads, and the
piecework system, Instead of injuring the
men, will give them an opportunity to
make mon.jy. This strike is the result of
work on the part of agitators, who have
no otner moans of making a living. I be
lieve that after the men have had time to
think It over, thoy will see their mistake
and return to work. The Union Pacific
Railroad h! not antagonizing union labor,
this their employes know from past ex
perience." Asked If the road was hiring new men,
Mr. Burt tiald:
"No. we are hiring no new men at pres
ent. We cixpcct mo3t of the old men to
return to work, and. generally" speaking,
all good men will be taken back nt the
present scale of wages, exeep; the agi
tators and those who have made them
selves particularly obnoxious. We have
sufficient machinists and boilermakers to
attend to the current work, and tho road
Is not suffering and we do not expect it
lo suffer from the effects of the strike.We
have a large number of locomotive's, or
dered some time ago, on ihe way from the
East and there are about 60 lying Idle at
this time which can be used if neces
sary." Mr. Burt repeated his statement that he
believed the men on strike had been miss
led by agitators and designing men who
live by th&t sort of employment No de
tails were at hand, he said, to show Just
how many men were affected by the trou
ble. FREIGHTHAXDLERS' STRIKE.

CHICAGO. June 30. Unless the general
managers of the railroads reverse their an

of wages. 10.000 frelghthandlers will In all
probability quit work tomorrow morning
in all the railroad warehouse freight sheds

It is highly probable that other unions will

handlers for more wagea The i answers
were almost uniform, except some' com
panies submitting an amended scale of
wages to go Into effect after three months.
The men refused to consider the proposi
tions of the railroads, and declare that un
less they are. granted better terms they
will quit work. From the railroads It
was learned tonight that all have deter
mined not to make any further conces
sional A proposition .made by the railroads
to the frelghthandlers individually to

The railroads proposed that com
mittees appointed by the employes at the
various frelghthousce meet with the rail
road superintendents to discuss the de
mands, and admitted that some advance
in wages might be justified. Having been
warned that an attempt would be made
to Ignore their union, the men declined to

Hltt offered the men an Increase In wages.
President L. J. Curran, of the Freight
handlers' Union, stepped forward when
Mr. Hltt asked If the men had anything
to say. Curran was not allowed to speak,
and the 200 men In the freighthouse fol
lowed him out of the warehouse, where a
meeting was held. The men later re
turned to work without taking action on
the question of accepting an advance In
wages without recognition of the union.
In a general way, a general increase in
wages was conceded by the rallroafij In
their replies to the demands of the union,
but the question of recognizing the union
and pay for oertime above regular hour
ly rates, or for Sundays and holidays, was
not mentioned.
President Curran. of the Frelghthand
lers' Union, addressed several meetings of
tho men during the day, and advised the
men to stand together by their original
demands. Fearing that the union would
deliver a premature ultimatum to the rail
roads. President Bowman, of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, called upon Presi
dent Curran tonight to urge him to avoid
a clash until the friends of the union had
made a further effort to Induce the rail
road managers, to agree to the demands of
the men. The Teamsters' Union has de
cided not to haul freight from the railroad
sheds If the strike Is declared and ah ef
fort Is made to move freight with the as
sistance of nonunion men.

A Soft Answer Tnrneth Away Wruth.
Philadelphia Times.
Thl3 tale was told by Judge Pennypacker
In beginning a response to a toast at a
Pennsylvania German Lanquct at Phila
delphia. Tlie story, he eald, showed the
readiness of the Pennsylvania Dutchman
to obey those In authority:
In 1SG1 Sheridan, under order, burned
every barn from a valley above Staunton
to a certain point below Winchester. A
band of angry rebels followed this raid,
watching for a chance to pick up any
stragglers. Among others who fell Into
their hands was a little Pennsylvania
Dutchman, who quietly turned to his cap
tors and Inquired:
"Vat you follows gclng.to do mlt me?"
The reply came short and sharp:
"Hang you.""
"Veil," he said meekly, "vatev.er la de
rule."
His good-natured humor threw the Con
federates Into a rear of laushtcr 'and
saved his life.'
