THE MORNING OREGOtflAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 190 MAGNATESGO SOUTH McCreedies Will Attend Lea gue Meeting. FAVOR EIGHT-CLUB CIRCUIT Proposal to Drop Tacoma Wirt Bo Opposed and to Admit Spokane Ben Ely Goes to San Fran cisco With a Scheduler Judge TV. V. McCreedic, his nephew. Walter H. McCrccdie. and the former president o the Portland Baseball Club, Bon Ely. left last night for San Fran cisco. The McCreediee go to the Bay City to attend the annual meeting of the Pa cific Coast League as owners of the Port land franchise. Just what .mission Ben E.y has in San Francisco at the time of the annual confato of the moguls Is not known, although It la rumored that he has r schedule scheme which he may lay before the league magnates. The fact that Ely Is the traveling com panion of the McCreediee and that he has an alleged schedule to offer has again given credit to the rumor that he is not entirely out of baseball. Both of the Mc Oreodlos were asked about Ely's connec tion with the team, and both denied that he was to have anything to do with its future management. This statement should sot at rest any further talk on the Ely subject. Since Judge McCreedic became interest ed in the baseball business he has given s. great deal of Ills time to the study of schedules, and at the big gathering he will surely be heard from. He Is not in favor of dropping Tacoma, and he is in .favor o taking in Spokane. The new magnate favors four clubs in the north, rand hopes that another city will be added California so as to round out an eight club circuit. Manager McCreedie will leave the business end of the league meet ing to his uncle and backer. He will at tend the meetings, and at the same time will be making Inquiries about the best place to train next Spring. Manager Mc Creedie feared that the Elys had tied the club up with a 1S05 contract with the Ba kersfield people, but ho has since learned that they have not. He will also make & study of the good baseball towns In California, with a view of arranging a series of ante-schedule games. He be lieves that three or four weeks of playing with the crack league teams will be a greater help In whipping a team into shape for a hard season's work than con tinued dally practice. Before he does this, nowever, he will see to it that his team Is ready to play ball. AGAIN HEADS NATIONAL. Harry C. Pulliam Is Unanimously Re Elected President. NEW YORK. Dec 13. Harry C.

BIcknell Young delivered a lecture on Christian Science 1n this city last night. His talk was along the same line as given In other Oregon towns. The attendance was not large Lonergan and Corbett Cannot Go on Northern Trip, and Fullback Must Be Drawn From Second Team. The Multnomah Club finds Itself In such straits for regular team men to take to Seattle for the Saturday game that Man ager Frank E. Wat'kins almost regrets that he agreed to play away from home again this season. His reason for doing it was that the Seattle Athletic Club had agreed to come here New Year's Day, and he believed It but courteous to give a re turn game. Subsequently he was forced to refuse a return game to Astoria, and is now on the point of wishing he had re fused Seattle. The trouble is In the back field. Neither Lonergan or Corbett will be able to go on the northern trip, and to fill In the va cancy left by these two able backs means a general weakening. Horan will be at right half as usual, but Dolph may have to be .substituted from full to half. Dolph Is a versatile player and will fill the half back position well enough, but a second team man will have to go In at full. Aus tin and Crosby are the two candidates, both good men, but not experienced at full, where experience counts most. This opportunity which Is afforded to second team men should be welcomed, for It gives an added interest to the game. Usually the spectators are fairly sure of what the team will do, knowing all the players o old, but there is no telling how good the young blood will prove Itself to be. Jordan and Captain Dowling will be the ends as usual, and the line will be un changed, except for the substitution of Gault Instead of Klrkley at tackle. Stow, who has been a very valuable addition to the team, will play the other tackle, and Seeley and Ross guards. Grieve will play at center. Johnson will be at quarter. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. NOT FRENZIED FINANCE But Frenzied Enthusiasm Sweeps Co lumbia Audiences Off Their Feet. "They're off, they're off!" Anyone except a near-sighted deaf mute, who has ever attended a race meet, knows the thrill of expectation and ecstacy that makes the pulses bound from the drop of the flag until the winning horse rushes under the wire. Decorum is thrown to the winds, conr servatlsm forgotten and a mad enthusi asm sways all beholders. So It is at the Columbia this week. The realism of the race scene Is so convincing, so overpowering that the most conserva tive are literally carried off their feet. Hand-clapping Is too tame, stamping of feet inadequate, and only a spontaneous, Irresistible outburst of cheers relieves the pent-up emotions of the audience. Think of It! Cheers, heart-felt cheers, at a Portland theater. After this no critic Is needed to proclaim the success of "The Prodigal Daughter." "Tess of the D'UrbervIIIes" Tonight. Tonight at the Marquam Grand Flor ence Roberts will revive the remark able story of Tess of the D'Urber vIIIes" for one performance.

Melbourne MacDow ell will appear as Alec D'Urbervllle, Lucius Henderson as Angel Clare, Wil liam Yearance as Sir John Durbeyfleld, Louise Royce as his wife Joan, Adele Worth as Marian and the full strength of the company will fill out the rest of the cast. The production Is very elaborate. Tomorrow night the com edy, "The Adventure of Lady Ursula," Is announced, and Friday night the much anticipated Ibsen play, "A Doll's House." "A Little Outcast." "A Little Outcast," with Its splendid scenic equipment, will close Its engage ment at the Empire Theater tonight. This big New York production Is a melodrama of the cleanliest type, having every es sence of human interest and is without doubt the best thing of Its kini yet pro duced. The piece is brimful of modern amazements and peculiarly fascinating scenes to attract theater-goers, but withal it Is a love story, pure and simple, with .every trait of loyalty and affection which could be lent to give the play a nobler in tent and color. The story, which Is a wide departure from the usual style of drama, is marked by novelty in construc tion, as it Is built upon the vicissitudes of a young clerk, and passes in swift action from stately mansions to crime-Infested haunts of New York. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "The Fatal Scar." 'The Fatal Scar" will 6e seen at the Empire Theater tomorrow night for three nights and Saturday matinee. This play contains enough heart interest and som bcrness, and Is enlightened by enough bright comedy o make It a lasting favor ite with the masses.

The play has vome exquisite touches of human nature and its manifold beauties cannot fall to enlist the sympathies of any audi ence The story of love, hope, faith, patience, ambition and greed that makes up the circumstances of almost everyone's life is told in a masterly manner by the simple folk Mr. Heme Introduces In, this charming pastoral comedy and its pa thetic and comic scenes move to tears and laughter, while Its more stirring episodes carry the onlooker forward with unabat lng interest to the very end of the last act. Ovide Musfn, the Wizard. Sparkling, dazzling. mystical, at times almost superhuman Is the play ing of the great violinist, Musin, who comes to Portland Monday, evening, December 19, at the First Baptist Church, and such a programme as he will give here wo.uld make the average artist green with envy. For Musin can do everything, and with the utmost grace and abandon. PIzzicatto, stacat to, harmonies, runs in double thirds, octaves, are as nothing to the great wizard of the violin. A superb com pany of artists comes with Musin. Pub lic sale' of seats opens Thursday morn ing, December 15. at Allen & Gilbert Ramaker Piano Company's. Direction Elmore Rice.
