EXOIAXAGER DUG DALE HERE Former Baseball Magnate Visits the ICrls and Clark Fair. Daniel Edward Dugdalc, of Seattle, baseball magnate and former manager of the Portland tearfS, drifted into town yes terday for a short visit to the Exposition. "Dug" Is accompanied by his wife, and from Portland they will travel east for an extended trip. "Well, Dug, how is baseball?" the genial magnate was asked. "Everything Is lovely," replied the Rainier Beach chicken rancher. "I thought I was out of the game, but they won't let roe alone. So I reckon I'll stay with It to a limited extent for a short time longer." In response to a query as to his busi ness in the East, Dugdale replied: "I am going partly on business and partly for pleasure. I have worked hard on my ranch this summer, as you can notice by my appearance, and I think I have earned a vacation." The fat man is actually some 20 or 39 pounds lighter than when in this city last spring, and looks In perfect health. He Is still interested in the PaclflcNorthwest circuit, and says that there are bright prospects for a paying circuit next sea son. He is somewhat noncommittal as to the towns to be comprised in the league "up North," but expressed himself as confident that It would prove a success. He will remain in Portland or a day or two, taking in the Lewis and Clark Fair, which he says Is the greatest exposition for compactness that he has-seen in the last 10 years, having attended Chicago. Buffalo, Omaha and St. Louis. In his opinion Portland surpasses those In beauty of Its exhibits. Baseball Team Elects Officers.

The claim life proservcrg do not last long with the best of treat ment and If they are left to the mercy of the ordinary user of rowboats they will soon be destroyed or lost, and the extra expense will ruin the business.
