THE MORNING- OBEGONIAff, SATURDAY. MARCH. 7, 1903.' STRIVE TOR PEACE Baseball Men Will Confer in San Francisco. BUT LITTLE HOPE OF SUCCESS TllcVey- Arrive and Keep Silent, While L.Hcas CeHtiBHea Ills Stlll-UHBt-lIarrlB Insists That Coast Ieayac 'Will Not Give Up. BAN FRANCISCO. March 6. There win be a meeting- at baseball magnates in this city tomorrow, at -which the interests of four leagues will he represented, and it Is possible that some definite solution of the trouble will be reached, although there is very small likelihood of a compromise between the contending camps. President Hickey, of the American As sociation, arrived here last night, but did cot register at the Palace, where he took lodgings, and denied himself to interview ers. He saw Henry Harris, the local ma.Ttfjger, for a few minutes, but the two did not enter Into a discussion of the baseball situation on the Coast. Hlckey remarked that from his study of the mat ter he believed hostilities, had advanced too far for a compromise. Hlckey said he" "had 'as important message to deliver. Tout was obliged to await the presence of President Sexton, of the Western As sociation, who will be here tomorrow. President iAicas, of the Northwest Xxeague, is still working quietly and avoid ing publicity, so his plans and movements are unknown. John X STcCloskey, the head of the Butte team of the Pacific Northwest League, arrived today to look -after the- Interests of his association. Heery Harris today said to the Asso ciated Press: 'It looks like a baseball war on the Coast .this season. There is nothing to in dicate a peaceable ending of the dispute In the Northwestern, cities. The. other league talks of paralleling our circuit, bat tsJfi seems so ridiculous that I .do, not consider the statements seriously, so far as this section is concerned. I know that the other people are talking to capi tal in this city, but with what success, of course, I cannot say. We made our plans some months ago, and we will not deviate a particle from them." X.UCD THE UROWXS. Residents of San Jose Seem Pleased With Portland's Team. The eyes of the Portland fans aro turned toward San Jose, and they are waiting with impatience for Sunday to come and go, so -as to get a line on the jilaylng of the Portland Browns, who play their first game of the season. In the first practice game of the season" the Browns are going against a fast lot of players, up to all the tricks of the game, and players who are already "well sea toned. Local interest In the game is very great, for the occasion will in a measure show what mettle there is In the teams. Shaffer will only have two days' work with the team, but even In that short time he is expected to give a good account of himself. The ex-captain of Helena's team has not been idle this Spring, and with but little work he will round Into shape. Members of the board of directors are extremely well pleased by the flattering recognition the Browns have received from San Joseans. Patrons of the game in that city are very highly pleased with the work which has been done by Pitcher Slagle and Schmeer at short. Schmeer's work In the infield has caused no end of favorable comment, and they say that if he keeps up his present stride he will certainly lead the league in that posi tion. Pierce Chiles, who was discarded by the Portland Browns, has attached himself to the payroll of the .Minneapolis team. How long will Chiles be In Minneapolis before he slugs a woman? A wise young gentleman writing base ball for a Spokane paper refers to the Portland Browns as "scabs." It Is a hun-dred-to-one '.shot that the brain of the man who wrote "scab" would float around in a 6Ti cranium like a tadpole In the Wil lamette River. Usually the word "scab" is applied to an underbldder, hardly to an organization, and never to men getting top salaries. President 'Lucas, has included Jack Mc Carthy's name among his list of um pires, but- be did so without first getting the Cailfornlan's name to a contract. Jack is waiting .for President Sexton, of the Western League, to appear on the scene so he can talk business with him. It will be- recalled that Sexton sent for his terms recently, and umpires as well as players fear that the Northwest League will "bust" before the schedule is played out this year. Manager McKibbon, ottheTacoma team, of the Pacific Northwest League, still in. slsts that Catcher King, of the Chicago Nationals, will play with Tacoma this season. Every game played in the American As sociation this year will be a championship contest, as no exhibition games will be al lowed. Sam Crawford, the Detroit outfielder, was once a "barber In Billy Bryan's state at 59 per week. He still says "You're next!" to the batter up. Something must be wrong with Rube Waddell's breathing factor. "Unlike the groundhog, he hasn't . made, his appear ance! '' ' ' . Pitcher VUleraan. of the New York League, has been signed by Colorado Springs. . . - . V The booze toboggan has claimed another baseball-player. This time It is Pitcher Roy Evans. Too free use of the pen and the other fellow's name, which spells "forgery." Is the cause of his downfall. Somebody has been stringing Pitcher Weaver, of Indiana. President Drevfuss, of the Pittsburg Pirates, denies" that ho has .signed Weaver. Another dream shat tered. According to a Hot Springs dispatch. Manager McGraw, of New York, one day last "week won ,$70ft at the races. J4300 at roulette and $600 at faro 55500 on the day. Strange dope they have down Hot Springs way; Exrleaguc players who have succeeded as lawyers and are now actively engaged in the profession are: James O'Rcurke. John! M. Ward, Michael J. Sullivan. Will lam Goeckel and Judge Harold M. Mc Clure. JoMn Smith, of York, and Bill Burns, of Norrtstown, Pa., have gone West to join the Spokane team. President W. V. Garrett, of the Spokane club, states' that the season In the bunch grass town will open under better condi tions this year than ever before in Spo kane's baseball history. Last year, with a tail-end club, fat dividends were- paid. This year a first-class team isl being se cured, "better grounds will be had and Spokane will be right in the race for the silk X&ffv v MasMHfef-iixrri said , ye erAay that he haH received no word from either Sexton or Hlckey, who "were sent to the Coast to make peace batween the two leagues. The local manager has no great desire to see the ambassadors, but he will meet with them when they come, and listen to any proposition they may have to make. The acceptance, of it will be another matter, and for the league to reject or accept. Hlckey and Sexton seem hopeful of suc cess, but the local powers have no opin ions. As the latter are not seeking peace, it matters little what the result amounts to. Hlckey, who is now in Los Angeles whispering sweet words in MorIeys ears, said to a reporter upon his arrival there: "Mr. Sexton-and 1 are now in the West on a mission of peace, and we hope to convince the Pacific Coast baseball people that it would be a, good business move for them to go into the National Associa tion." "Baseball cannot exist execpt as a thor oughly organized sport," answered Mr. Hlckey, la response to- a query regarding the arguments that would be used to prove the correctness of his logic. "It Is im possible to control players without or ganization, and salaries are constantly being boosted by the conflict between rival clubs, which under an agreement would, not dare to even correspond with each other's players. What the result of our trip will be I cannot guess until I have seen all the parties interested. I will say, however, that there has been some mis understanding about the mission of Mr. Sexton and myself. We are out here this time strictly for the purpose of talking baseball business, and beyond that I would not like to be quoted!" "Los Angeles Baseball Association will have a charge of 35 cents general ad- mission to all Sunday ball games this sea son." Manager Morley is quoted as saying. "We did not know anything about this exorbitant license when we went into the extension of the league and added double to our traveling expenses, and I did not figure on It when I planned a payroll that la $1000 greater than last year. There is no precedent for such a large license on the sport of baseball. San Francisco plays games nearly every day, and pays only 521 a quarter. In Kansas City the municipality charges the baseball clubs $5 for the services of two officers at every game, and In one of the Connecticut cities a license of $25 a month is collected from baseball, but nowhere Is the money de manded by the city like what they pro pose to tax baseball In Los Angeles. Our association made only 9 per cent last year, and handled some $75,000 to get It. We have given Los Angeles better adver tisement than It could get in any other way for '$1000 a month. Nobody has a kick coming on the class of sport we have given the people. There has not been better baseball played anywhere at the price, and there Is no immoral feature to the game that brings It into disrepute. We cannot pay the license without a raise." Player-Manager Frank Dillon yesterday signed a third-baseman who hit over .300 last year and played splendid ball In all departments of the game. He is now in the East, but will start for Los Angeles In a few days. Dclmas. the California third baseman claimed by Dugdale, says that he signed a contract which Hurlburt was" to take to McCloekey, but that Dugdale got hold of him and he Is now with Seattle. O'Hara, whom Parke Wilson has signed for third base, led the New York State League In hitting and fielding last seas6n. A Helena paper says: "Among the men who are sure to be on Flannery's Helena team this year are: Flannery, Peoples, Thompson and Shaffer, of last year's team; Arthur Puttman, a six-foot-four south-paw whom Flannery found In Cin cinnati; Fred Carisch, a pitcher, and George Carisch, his brother, a catcher. Two other pitchers, Waterbury and Letlsch, have been signed, while it is ex pected that Devereaux. of the Oakland team, will cover third for the Senators." We are not sure about Shaffer. Wee Willie Keeler, of the New York American League team, and Muggs Mc Graw, of the New York Nationals, have accepted invitations to attend the All Amerlcan baseball team dance to be held at Baltimore. Keeler was told It was not necessary to carry his bat, neither will Muggy McGraw wear a mask. Sherm Kennedy, a National Leaguer and last year a member of the Nashville (Tenn.) team, has retired from the dia mond and will go Into business with his father at Conneaut, O. Russ Hall, who has played three sea sons with St. Joepeh's team under Mc Klbben, has asked for his release, as he says the St. Joe fans gave him the woret or It last year. Kansas City and Minneap olis are after Hall and the St. Louis Na tional League team and two California teams are also said to be willing to sign him. Beautiful, beautiful. Is the only term at hand that can fuly describe Pa Chad wickV? tribute to W. H. Lucas, president of the Pacific Northwest League no longer playing ball in Portland. Pa Chad wick has grown so did In the baseball game that he Is molting, eo old In fact that he has gotten Into the Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Laura Jean Llbby class in the extravagant and careless use of ad jectives. This tribute to Mr. Lucse teems with extravagant English, for even .Mr. Lucas In a short SCO-word eulogy of his successful career uses the personal pro noun 12 times, uses "myself" twice, "my" twice, "me" and "we" once each. He also tells how he at one time waa a lum ber merchant. After reading Mr. Lucas.' letter It Is not to bo wondered at that Pa Chadwick turned loose the flood-gates of his rhet oric Here 'Is the way the modest biog raphy of Mr. Lucas, told by himself, in led up to by the Venerable Mr. Chadwick: "The Pacific Coast question has become an important one since the close of last season. Inasmuch as war tactics have been carried on by the "outlaws" of the California League agalnut President Lucas ably-managed Pacific Northwest League. What the final .outcome will be cannot be stated, but It goes without say ing that the whole-power of the National Association' will be brought to bear on support of the Pacific Northwest League, especially "against that "home of contract breakers on the Pacific CoastV as a West ern, paper calls the California Leairue. a Pacific Coast League-, embracing a dr-J cuu or ciuns outside or the Pacific North- west, circuit, would he welcomed by the Eastern organizations. As It is, however, the California League Is making a big business mistake in antagonizing the great majority of leagues. "Speaking of the . Pacific Northwest League, reminds -me of the fact that the great success of that league affords a practical exemplification of what one magnate of marked Integrity of character and of unwonted executive ability can accomplish in building up" a professional league structure on permanent founda tion. "W. H. Lucas, the worthy and esteemed president of the Pacific -NorthwestLeegue, Is a native of the beautiful Western city of Cleveland, O., and After his college days at Fort Wayne, Ind.. In the '70s, dur ing which time his team won -the .state amateur championship from 1S73 to 1S79. he managed the champion Red Stockings of Cleveland la the early 'SOs, and after wards the noted 'Red Cap' team of St. Paul, Minn." GREAT RACE FOR PEN.WVT. Toss-Up Among; Six Coast Teams as to tiieWlnncr. The six clubs which comprise the Pa cific Coast League, with perhaps one or two exceptions, are complete, and now it Is an open guess which of the teams will land the pennant. There are new faces galore in the league, and In consequence the fans -during the early status will do come very fine guessing. Callfornlans, of course, have their four teams sized up, but the entrance of Portland and Seattle will keep them on query street for many days to .come. The Browns might safely bo, called an all-star team. Seattle should make a good showing, and easily keep KINETESCOPIG SKETCH OF A FAIR stride with Los Angeles and Sacramento.

Most of today's session of the American League baseball magnates was spent In discussing the re port of the rules committee. Rule 44. re lating to foul strikes, held the magnates in a heated deadlock for two hours, but the report was finally adopted by a spe cial vote. 4 to 3, B. F. Shlbe, of Phila delphia, refusing to vote. This is the rule that caused the trouble at the joint conference of the rules com mittee of the American and National Leagues and National Association. The American League has always opposed the rule, but at the conference It was adopted, the National Association, voting with the National League. Since then there has been much talk about the American League refusing to pass the rule. The consensus of American League opinion is agaln3t the rule as being impracticable. The report of the peace committee was also adopted, as was also the report of President Johnson and the board of direc tors declaring the Baltimore franchise forfeited. The National BaEeball League resumed its sessions today, and, according to Pres ident Pulllam, finished all business except routine matter. TRUE TO OLD IRELAND.

Mrs. Vaaator Stakes the Highest Score of 51 Fair Howlers All Shew Skill. Who was the wiseacre who said: "Gown, an angel in a rainy-day skirt and she would look like a scarecrow"? Whoever It was, had he been at the "ladies' night" at the "Multnomah Athletic Club last night, he would have received the He dlv recu i?or eignt 'women, neatly gowned In walking skirts and pretty shirt-waists, looking no more like scarecrows than a diamond does a pebble, bpwled with eight men. And they did bowl; In fact, Mrs. Vana tors score of 51 in the third frame was the best Individual score of the evening. Mrs. Vanator's score surprised her friends it even surprised the fair bowler her self. But it set the pace for the other seven in her team. They kept it lip, and In all 32 "strikes were made. It was also the pivotal point of the game, and caught victory on the wing when defeat looked like a winner in a Y. M. C. A. handicap game. The women played a far more consist ent game than the men, with perhaps an exception or twc. There was something peculiarly winsome in the deliver of each woman, and there were as many BOWLER AT. THE MULTNOMAH different styjes as there were players in frocks. The eight, led by Mrs. Judge, a snappy little player, with a sort of hyp notic power of drawing the rolling sphere, with either a dainty foot or shapely hand, after it has started on its rotary journey, looked as If thoy were going to carry off the honora Miss Hegele, a perfect type of Gibson's American athletic girl, was an able lieutenant. Miss Hegele gets well back from the deadline, and, with a dash and swagger, 'sends the ball rlcochettlng down the alley, as though It were shot out of one of Admiral Dewey's 13-inch guns. Mrs, Unna, she of the left hand, that delivers the. bajl as she. would a caress, seemed to have a mutual un derstanding with the three silent pins trt the other end of the alley. The ball would leave her hand with aggravating llstiess ness, seem to pause as If waiting ,for In structions, then slowly butt into' 'no ope pin in particular then always one, per haps two, and sometimes three, would topple over. How she did it Is all con jecture. Each pin "seemed to-say to the ball: "Here, you; me first' Mrs. Martin bowls. She crosses the al leys and uses a curve that would gladden the heart of many a man, were he able to duplicate it. There Is no pink tea gossip for her while bowling. She Is bowling, and bowling to win, if possible. Mrs. Vasey came away with the high est total of the women. She put It all over several of the men. Sho was with out doubt the most consistent woman player of the evening. She was ably sec onded by Miss Price, who plays with dash and vigor, and Mrs. Burkhardt, Miss Burkhardt likes to bowl. It can be seen In the manner in which she delivers. Of tho men, little need be said. Eight of the best will play at the end of the tournament with eight women having the highest score. The score follows: Team No. 1 Mrs. Vasey , T. F. Ford Miss Price , Mnllory , Mrs. Vanator ... F. O. Burkhardt . Miss Burkhardt . P. E.

Your very valuable article on the status of hopgrowlng In Oregon must commend Itself to every one engaged In the industry, whether as grower or dealer, and I should not have intruded myself on your valuable space but for the fact that as I see it there was one point that you did nbt touch on, and this I could "wish to have well brought out and therefore supply It.

Most soils in Oregon will raise hops, but when qual ity 13 taken Into consideration the actual acreage that will produce the high-grade marketable product is very limited, hence people should be very cautious where they set out new yards.

Hops are not a poor man's crop, but It has made many a grower and dealer pocr, therefore your warning Is both timely and to the point. GEORGE POPE. Crank Who Wants ?100;000. WASHINGTON.
