SPOKANE, Aug. 23. 8pftdal. "IT any
of the present teams bolt tho Paclflo
North-west Baseball League, I will put
club3 In the cities bolting, and I have
the financial backing to do it completely
and successfully." President Lucas, of
tho Paclflo Northwest Baseball League,
thus replied tonight in an Interview with
The Oregonian correspondent on a state
ment that teams would be taken in by the
California League next season, tho clubs
named leaving tho Pacific League. 'These'
rumors first came to my notice prior to
the July meeting,". President Lucas con
tinued. "The matter was brought up at
that meeting, and the Portland and Se
attle directors then denied the truth of
rumor, saying they had no intention of
leaving this league. Since then I have
several times, in conversation gfith Man
ager Dugdale, of the Seattlo team, been
assured by him that he is satisfied with
this league, and certainly would not leave
It for the California League.
"I have not since brought the matter
to the attention of the Portland directors.
Manager "Vlgneux, of Portland, whom I
suspended for five days for infraction of
the xules, has been unfriendly; therefore,
I have not discussed league matters with
him. I feel that his punishment was de
served, just as much as the punishment
of Manager Andrews, of the Tacoxna club,
and Manager McCloskey, of the Butte
club, both of whom were suspended for
not obeying the rules. Neither Andrews
nor McCloskey are unfriendly to me now.
I can say positively that I have had no
direct notice that either the Portland or
Seattle teams will desert this league, and
as I said before, Portland and Seattle and
all other clubs in this league will have
teams playing for the Northwest pennant
next year. I leave for Helena in the
morning," said President Lucas, "and
shall have another talk with Manager
Dugdale, in Butte, Monday.
"From Butte I Intend to go to Salt
Lake and Ogden. Baseball fenthuslasts of
those towns are .desirous of joining our
league, which is one of the strongest
minor leagues In the United States. If
they decide to join us, they will play to 50
cents general admission, as 'Is the custom
In Montana. I have also on file formal
applications for franchises from Victoria
and Vancouver, B. C, although they de
cline to play Sunday ball, the crowds at
Saturday games in those cities, where a
half-dollar is the rule on tho last day of
the week, will more than make up for
the loss of Sunday patronage. Should
the league decide to admit clubs from
these cities.
"I know of no other reason than resent
ment at my rulings in suspending players
who have not behaved properly on the
ball fljld, for any team in this league
Joining another league. Tho season has
been most successful. Every club In it has
made money, and is in a fair way to be
prosperous next year. It seems probable
that the league will be composed of eight
clubs next season, although it may tako
some time to decide which cities will be of
most benefit. My relations with all the
directors are pleasant, so far as I know.
If I have made mistakes, they have been
errors of the head, not of the heart"
The project of admitting Salt Lake and
Ogden to the Pacific Northwest Baseball
League, while it may be news to the ma
jority of the fans. Is nothing new to those
closely connected with the baseball situa
tion of this league. At the time the two
Montana cities were taken into the league
It "was also suggested that Salt Lake and
Ogden be taken in, but the matter was
given up because the league officials did
not think it practicable at the time. Salt
Lake is a good baseball town, and would
make a valuable addition to the league.
providing suitable transportation arrange
ments couia ue maue. xong trips wun a
team of a dozen men are a big drain on
the treasuries of .the different clubs, and
unless very low rates are granted by the
railroad companies, the directors had bet
ter look twice before enlarging the league
In that direction. Ogden Is a fair- town.
but would not pay nearly es well as Salt
Lake.
Of course, all this talk Is In the air.
Nothing definite has been done, and noth
ing can be done until after the season
closes and the directors meet in Novem
ber. Mr. Lucas Intends to go to Salt Lake
and Ogden and investigate the situation
and report at the meeting. Just what will
be done none of tho directors of the .Port
land club are prepared to say.
The Anaconda Standard treats the sub
ject In the following manner:
Bait Lake. Aug. 25. (Special to the Stand
ard,) Just at a time when tho baseball situa
tlon looks darkest In Utah comes the lnforma
tlon that the Pacific Northwest League Is
ready to receive Salt Lake and Ogden with
open arms and give them a free franchise to
Join hands with the organization that controls
baseball In the Northwestern part of the coun
try. This has been the dream of baseball fans
In Utah for the past three years, and now that
the opportunity has arrived, a little rustling on
the part oflhose Interested in the game will
Insure this state better baseball than they
have ever Been before. The invitation to Join
the Paclflo Northwest League comes from
President Lucas, and also from Manager 21c
These two gentlemen sent Jack Huston, llrst
baseman of tho Butte team, and ex-captaln of
tho sou Laxe team, as an emissary to this
city to try and Interest local fans In the prop
osition. Huston arrived yesterday full of en
thusiasm, and at onco began missionary work
among the local fans. He said that If Salt
Lake City and Ogden showed a disposition to
put in the right kind of a team in their re
spective towns, the Pacific Northwest League
would expand next year to an eight-club league.
taking in the towns now represented, in addl
tlon to Salt Lake and Ogden. This could be
done without any Injurs to the present clubs.
and would give the league a larger territory
to draw from. According to Huston, both Lu
cas and McCloskey consifiered Salt Lake City
a good a baseball town, if not better, than
any now holding a franchise, and nearly every
magnate In the Pacific Northwest League coin
cided with their vews on the matter. All
that they ask Is that responsible parties in Salt
Lake City and Ogden agree to put In a team,
and the franchise will be granted. Huston
says that Mr. Lucas does not ask that any
certain sum of money need back up the request
for a franchise, as they are convinced that Salt
Lake City would bo one of the best-paying
towns In the league if the club was properly
handled.
Lucas and McCloskey have agreed to visit
Bait Lake City and Ogden after October 15,
and are anxious that persons desiring to take
hold of the proposition be ready to meet with
them on that date. The annual meeting of the
Paclflo Northwest League will bo held the ear
ly part of November, and President Lucas
wants to have the Salt Lake and Ogden prop
osition ready to submit to the other clubs of
that time. Both McCloskey and Lucas think
this city would be a money-maker to those
taking hold of the baseball franchise, and
McCloskey, it is stated, eays that he would
put a club in Salt Lake City himself if no
one else takes the initiative in the matter.
Huston had a talk with Billy Haywood last
evening on tho proposition, and tho latter
agreed to take hold,, of the matter and see
what he could do with It.
The first thing necessary will be to get
proper rates from the Oregon Short Line Rail
road, after which everything toward organ
izing a club in this city will be easy sailing.
Plenty of money can be raised at once to put
a club on its feet, and there is no reason why
It should not be done. This, will mean that
the town will have 50-cent ball, and the same
kind that is played In the best of the minor
leagues.
It Is said the Paclflo Northwest League has
been a big-paying venture ,Jhls year, and they
are now better situated financially than any
league outside of the bigger organizations.
As Seen by Coast Manager.
In an interview D. E. Dugdale, manager of
tho Seattle baseball club, said there had been
some correspondence In August by men prom
inent In baseball circles in Ogden and Salt
Lake City with President Lucas, of the Pa
clflo Northwest League, to consider the taking
on of those two cities in 1003. No action has
been taken in the matter as yet. Mr. Dugdale
said, except that plans had been completed for
President Lucas to visit the two cities. The
trip, however, had to be postponed until after
the settlement of the St, Vraln case. The old
stars, Borcherls and Weaver, are the instiga
tors of the movement, according to Mr. Dug
dale. He added In this connection that "no consid
eration of the proposition can be entertained
unless somo reduction in railroad fares can be
obtained. "At all events," he said, "it is an
experiment, and as the league stands today It
Is an assured success."
Talking along these lines. Manager Dugdale
added that Vancouver, B. C, had also entered
a bid to come into the Pacific Northwest
League, and was under consideration.
"For the last two seasons It has given its
Independent team the best of support; in fact.
it is a redhot baseball town. They ore very
anxious up there to come Into the league,"
said the leader's manager.
Manager McCloskey and Manager Dugdale
were talking last evening about the proposi
tion for the expansion of tho league. Both
strongly Savor it
"Salt Lake Is an awful good ball town,"
said Mr. McCloskey. "It would certainly
strengthen the league to admit Salt Lako and
Ogden. Ogden Is as good a ball city as Hel
ena."
"It is all up to the railroads," said Dugdale.
"If the Short Llae will make the rate It will
be feasible to admit the Utah cities. It will
be necessary, however, to get a good railroad
rate. I should Judge that the line from Port
land to Pocatello would be used a good deal In
the Jumps, with a saving In railroad fare and
time when there are no games to be played In
Montana between the Coast and Utah teams."

Tacoma Gets a Game From Spokane
After Ten Innfngrs.
SPOKANE. Aug. 29. Spokane, after
Gordon had apparently given the game
away In the first inning, substituted
Quick, who allowed but one run to the
ninth. Meanwhile Spokane, by terrific
batting, crept up to Tacoma's score of
seven, and in tho first half of tho ninth
made two. But Tacoma was not to be
denied, and tied the score after two were
out, on a base on balls to Hutchinson, a
throe-bagger by Fisher, which McLaugh
lin made a desperate attempt to get but
failed, and McCarthy's single. Donahue
and Elsey figured in a double play which
was sensational, and the fielding of both

Turner Could Not Knock Oat
Queenan at Seattle.
SEATTLE, Aug. 29. In 20 rounds of the
prettiest and fastest fighting ever seen in
Seattle. Rufe Turner could not knock
Perry Queenan out, and as Perry at no
hop of the road had a look-in to knock
Turner out. Referee Crane decided the
boot a draw, with the usual result, some
maintaining that the black boy was
robbed of a decision and others contend
ing that no other decision could bo ren
dered. From tho 15th round until tho close
Perry's face looked like a piece of beef-
stead well chopped. Ho looked bad, but
one cannot tell from. Queenan's appear
ance Just what his real condition is. Ho
was clearly outclassed by the black boy
In cleverness, as the solid junches he
landed on tho shiny black body of his
slippery antagonist could be counted on
the fingers of one hand.
Perry, on tho other hand. Is a bulldog
in tho ring. He has to be laid out cold
beforo ho knows he is licked. Ho took
four swift Jabs on tho Jaw in tho 16th
round, coming so close together that they
could hardly bo counted, but aside from
puffing out his cheeks a little more than
U3ual, Perry did not seem to mind It.
Turner demonstrated his superior clever
ness from the start of the fight Queenan
tried to fight him llko he fought and
whipped Case and Hawkins, but every
time his glove came for tho body It landed
on tho hard elbows of tho clever black.
In fact, while on the defensive, Turner
seems to be all elbows and shoulders. No
cleverer exhibition was ever put up In Se
attle than that given by Turner, and
wueenan mado the flfrht a Rood one to
watch by his willingness to mix. his abil
ity to stand punishment and the knowl
edge that up to the very last he had the

JAMAICANS DEMAND RELIEF
Growth, of the Annexation Idea in
the British Colony.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 19. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
The past two or three months havo wit
nessed a remarkable recrudescence of tho
American annexation Idea In at least two
of the largest and most Important British
West India possessions, Trinidad and Ja
maica. The leaders of the agitation are
generally planters and business men.
These point to tho growing prosperity of
Porto Rico and denounce the system of
British Colonial Government They also
point to the desperate state of the sugar
Industry and to the deplorable condition
of the people of the Islands, and seriously
suggest annexation to the united States
as the only possible chance of reviving
their fallen fortunes. Such Is the view
or the planters and business men and
both together form a very Influential class
perhaps the most Influential class of the
community.
The natives, on tho other hand, resur
rect stories of lynchlngs and the workings
of the anti-negro laws In the Southern
states, and declare themselves emphat
ically against annexation and strongly In
favor of the British rule which gives
them a freedom that has become to them
even more precious than Industrial and.

The best money can buy.

There are other good pianos, and quIfV
a number of them, but the Chlckerlng la
not merely good nor very good; it I3 su
perlatively the best piano the whole world
has produced. The makers of this famoug
Instrument have for long occupied thq
unique position of considering quality
alone; they have acquired a reputation for
excellence of manufacture that It is their
pleasure to improve and expand without
consideration of money cost They make
the best piano In the world, and charge a
reasonable price for It that Is only com
puted after the work Is done. Other man
ufacturers tlx the price first and then
make the piano.
The Chlckerlng has been made continu
ously in Boston since the year 1S23. It
has been purchased and Indorsed by the
worlds greatest musicians, and written
testimonials of these great artists breatha
a spirit of reverence and affection that
prove the wonderful fascination of the
glorious Chlckerlng tone. No other plana
possesses It; there Is not another manu
facturer of reputation who has not tried
to Imitate It.

And between them all the newspapers

sick of the British colonial policy, a policy
that has resulted In almost total destruc
tion of the sugar industry of the islands.
Tho fruit trade with the United States is
tho most profitable undertaking in Ja
maica today. Its growth 13 continuous
and phenomenal. It is said to be the
mainstay of the Island. Nobody attempts
to deny that without tho United Fruit
Company (an American concern), tho
Island must long ago have given up tha
struggle.
The depression over the country Is as
acute as It Is real. The Government de
partmental reports teem with referenced
to It Taxes are becoming harder to col
lect because people are dally getting out
of work In consequence of the failure of
the sugar Industry. Within the past few
months thousands upon thousands of per
sons havo been prosecuted for nonpay
ment of taxes. They are generally glven
a month or two In which to pay up thelf
dues, or In default, take a term of im
prisonment, which does not cancel thf
debt
It Is the opinion of a good many intelli
gent men that If the expensive system of.

superseded by a system" of the kind being
Introduced Into Porto Rico, the Island
would not be long In recovering Itself.
Tho salary of $25,000 (besides numerous
arnmnHnnj! anil t-7It' Hntyoa Tirhfh th fSftir-
! ernor Is paid. Is regarded as distinctly ex
travagant and out of all proportion to tha
colony's revenue. And the revenue can
not be Increased. Import duties are at
the highest possible point and the Gov
ernment dare not raise them any higher.
It Is, therefore, not at all surprising to
find the whole Island seething with dis
content shouting for reforms reforms
which, like the Government's ' standing
promise of "better times" never come.
It Is realized that the colony Is rapidly
nearlng the parting of the ways. And the
future will depend almost entirely on tha
future policy of the Imperial authorities
with regard to this and other Islands of
the West Indies.
The following editorial comment by on
of the most conservative newspapers of
the city gives some further Idea of tha
conditions at present obtaining here:
"A curious phenomenon at present In
Jamaica Is the discrepancy between tha
optimistic writings and lectures of people
and the actual circumstances of the coun
try. What is the actual situation? De
pression on every side, sugar and coffea
estates going out of cultivation, the peo
ple without money and with only suffi
cient to eat; large numbers of persona
leaving the colony for America and else
where and everywhere and among aU
classes the gloomiest anticipation regard
ing the future. It may be said that thlf
has always been the situation, but cer
tainly the pessimistic note has never been
so prominent as at present. We are not
commenting on It; we are simply staflu,
what Is a fact On one side we have tha
promise and on the other side we have
the actual circumstance and the discrep
ancies between the two Is what we are
calling attention to."
