Baseball Men Will Confer in
San Francisco.
BUT LITTLE HOPE OF SUCCESS

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

FOCL STRIKE RULE ADOPTED.
Leaffne Directors Yield After Five
Hours in Deadlock.
NEW YORK, March 6. 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.

WOMEN BOWL-WITH MEN
INTERESTING MATCHES HELD AT
MULTNOMAH CLUB.
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:

According to a paper devoted to horse
news a new disease ho3 appeared among
trainers and rival horsemen of California.
It is known as "Hnt-on-the-lungs," and
comes from an overindulgence In that bad
habit known as "chewing the rag." It
appears to be especially violent during the
stallion season, and breaks out often dur
ing worn-out cays at the track. A Pleas- ,
anton man has compounded a serum which ,
he thinks will cure the disease. He makes
it as iouows: iuia extract of pedigree
ten parts; tincture of actual race records,'
one part: chloride of- producing ancestors,
three parts. Mix well In hot air and. in
ject hypodermlcally into either side o?the
patient's jiw. If patient does not recover
In two minutes the case is hopeless.

PEN'S DISEASES ll
Twenty-one years of success and constant growth of practice is certainly
a practical demonstration that argues the merit of our work. Is there the
slightest probability that If unable to back Up all of our claims we would
have won and retained the foremost place among specialists treating men's
ailments? Could -we fall to cure and yet succeed as we have? Our practice
Is the largest because we Invariably fulfill our promises.
Weakness
We not only cure
"weakness" promptly,
btit we employ the only
treatment that can pos
sibly cure this disor
der permanently. It Is
a system of local treat
ment entirely original
with ns, a'nd Is em
ployed by no physicians
other than ourselves.
This may seem a broad,
arsertion, but It Is Just
as substantial as it is
broad. So - called
"weakness" is but a
symptom of local In
flammation or conges
tion, and a radical cure
Is merely a matter of
restoring normal condi
tions , throughout the.
organic system, and
this we accomplish
thoroughly and with
absolute certainty.
Reflex Ailments
Often the condition appearing to
be the chief disorder Is only a re
flex ailment resulting from some
other disease. Weakness some
times come3 from varicocele or
urethral obstruction; skin and
bone diseases result from blood
poison taint, and physical and
mental decline follow long-standing
functional disorders. Our long
experience In treating men en
ables us to determine the exact
conditions that exist and to treat
accordingly, thus removing every
damaging cause and its effects.

ADVICE TO HOPGROWERS.
Mnch Land Would Be More Proflt-
able in Pasture.
HUBBARD, Or.. Feb. 2S. (To the Edi
tor.) 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. While most experts know it,
few growers seem to realize that right
here In Oregon a very large acreage is
set out to hops that would pay much bet
ter It left In natural pasture. 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. I fully agree
with you In everything else you say, and
desire. personally to thank yoii, as I be
lieve that this is the first time during
many years of reading The Oreg&nlan that
I have observed so wise a warning anent
t'te hop question. 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.

Crank Who Wants ?100;000.
WASHINGTON. March R-A Swede who
gave his name as Z. Berg, of Providence,
R. I., tried for an hour today to see the
President. He was urged by the White
House attaches to reduce his communica
tion to writing. This he endeavored to do,
but failed. One of the secret service offi
cials Interviewed him and found him pos
sessed of hallucinations. Berg said that
several years ago he had informed the
United States Government that the Span
lards Intended to blow up one of the bat
tleships, and wanted the President to sea
to it that he received $100,000 for his infor
mation. Berg was persuaded to return to
Providence and there place his claim la
the hand3 of a lawyer.
