Manager McCredie Discusses
Reasons for Defeat.
MAY "RETIRE FROM LABORS
3Ianaser Brings Xcws That Season
Will Be Lengthened Next Year,
Although Definite Arrange-
ments Are Not Made.
The remnant of the Portland baseball
team of 1905 drifted Into town yester
day morning. They number four and
ivkh the exception of Mike Mitchell,
will nend the Winter In this city. In
addition to Mltphell. Manager McCre
die. Jack McLean and Catcher Jack
Siiess came un from California. Van
Buren and Callff were on the same
train, but the former dropped off at
Sacramento for a few days with Jay ,
Hughes at duck shooting, while Callff
l'ft the train, at his home In Oregon
City. Esslck and Sweeney were Inclined
to come North, but changed their
minds later and returned to their
homes in the East. Jake Ate will prob
ably Join the local colony of ball toss
ts as soon as the post season series
between the Los Angeles and Tacoma
teams i concluded, for the little short
stop likes Portland and has written
Manager McCredie. requesting him to
make a deal with Morley to get him
back on the local club.
When asked about the recent trade
with Morley whereby he traded Atz
and Schlafly for Flood. Smith and
Toren. Manager McCredie said:
"I think 1 secured the best of the
deal, for ihe understanding Is that the
trade does not go junless Tim Flood is
reinstated next eason. By this trade
J secured three star players arin gave
only one. for I do not consider Schlafly
a valuable man because he Is too fond
of carousing. He and one or two
others of the club were responsible
for nearly every game we lost in the.
South. In was simply disgraceful, for
they not only threw me down, but
their own teammates as well. I con
sldor Tim Flood the best second base
man in the league, and I believe that
Prcsldont Bert will withdraw the
blacklist when he Investigates the clr
cumstunccs that led up to the assault
on Davis.
"I do not believe in countenancing
rowdy baseball, but I think Flood has
been nunlshcd enough for the offense.
Jud Smith is a cracking good third
baseman,, and the way Sweeney played
the position of shortstop during the
last few games stamps him as a very
good man. I don't think he comes up to
Atz" standard as a fielder, but neverthe
less he is equal if not better than any
of the other men at that position in the
league If Flood Is reinstated. It Is
likoly that I may arrange a trade with
Mo.-lcy in which McLean or Smith, or
perhaps both may be traded for Atz.
"It is too early yc.to determine dofl
liltoly on any plans, for my uncle and
myself may rotlre from the game In
this city, which is our Intention unless
ome arrangement Is perfected where
by we secure the holdings of Mr. Ely.
It .is absolutely Impossible to get along
with that man. and no manager on
earth could keep harmony on his club
with a man like him connected with
he running of the affairs of the club.
One or the other of us must get out."
A meeting of the McCredie" wing of
the Portland Baseball Company will
be held In this city Saturday, providing
. hptil Judge W. W. McCredie concludes
the session of court over which he is
now presiding, at which some definite
decision an to their course In baseball
'lll bo determined upon.
McCredie also spoke a good' "word
tor Callff and Suess, the youngsters he
took South with him. In reference to
Ci.Mrr. McCredie stated that he would
not take $1000 for the services of this
young pitcher, and says that he thinks
that he Is the equal of Bobby Keefe in
overy particular. McCredie also antici
pates great things of Pete Lister, the
new first baseman, who is to. join the
club In the Spring.
Another piece of news the local man
'ager brought back Is the fact that the
league has decided to reduce the length
of the playing season. McCredie says
thai from what he has heard from the
othr magnates, the season of 1936 will
not start until May. and will be con
cluded during November.
far as to say that tbe l&aky Auetr&Haa bt
doing entirely too sues roa work, but
with his years of experience, tit should
certainly know what is needful and what
he can stand.
As to the hands that hrr struck o
many sledge-hammer blows, there Is al
ways a doubt as to whether they wiu
stand, but the long rest they have had
has undoubtedly been a help. Another
thing that will be greatly in favor of
Fltz Is that the armies or agreement al
low him to use practically anything he
wants in the way of bandages. In most
articles of agreement for contests under
the Marquis of Queensbury rules only
soft bandages are called for and allowed.
In the articles for the coming big match
that 1- dated for December 20. there is
no restriction In the way of soft band
ages and the freckled one with the sus
picious weakness In his mlts can alraoe:
go Into the ring with a plaster caM. si
hard and tight can his bands be ban
daged. The showing that Fltxslmmons la
made on the Coast when he met George
Gardner, was not so good as to be re
membered as any great feat In pugilism
and he is aware of the fact that he now
has a chance to make good and seems to
be bending his every effort In that dL
rectlon.
Tracey-Zubrlck Mill Tomorrow.
The Tracey-Zubrlclc bout scheduled
for Vancouver tomorrow evening. Is
attracting more than the usual amount
of Interest among the local sports, and
judging- from the comment about town
there will be a large gathering of the
local sports at the ringside when the
men enter the arena. Betting Is about
even at present, but the Indications are
that the Los Angeles man will be
slight favorite on the day of the contest.

The Secret of Health.
-The nourishment taken by body and
mind, the extent to which this nourish
ment Is assimilated, the form and pro
portions In which it Is taken into the
system, the amount of food and drink
consumed, and the care given to the body
and Its various functions all profoundly
affect the health." says a recent edi
torial In "Good Housekeeping." that
great authority on matters pertaining
to the home. "Some Individuals think
they can abuse the laws of nature with
Impunity, but even generous endowments
of physical vigor eventually succumb,
while the great ma&s of people, especially
the young, are peculiarly susceptible to
the food they consume."
As "Good Housekeeping" In an edl-
toria suggests, health depends not so
much on the nourishment taken into
the stomach as on the extent to which
this nourishment is taken up by the sys
tem. Malta-Vita, the perfect malted

to the sustenance of the human body and
mind. Is readily assimilated, even by the
weakest stomach, because of the large
percentage of Maltose, or malt sugar,
which it contains. Maltose Is a natural
sweetening agent and forms rich, healthy
blood.
Malta-Vita is especially beneficial for

Tor Close Game With Corvallls.
The Muitnomah football piu:id went
througn their regular workout yester
day under the direction of Coach Over
Held, who was assisted In the work by
Frank' Lonergan. Eighteen men turned
out. and the maneuvers lasted nearly
an hour and a half. It has been defi
nitely decided that the team that lines
up against the "Farmers" Saturday

Murphy and George McMillan. Uoran
will be In .shape for the game and will
be found In the backfield when the

strong as ever. Rupert will play quar
tr in place of Murphy. Dudley Clark,
the Portland Academy boy. will be
given it place on the team in the com
ing game. The Oregon Agricultural
College is a hard nut, and the clubmen
anticipate the hardest game of the sea
son In Saturday's contest.
Manager Watkins stated last evening
that he thinks It will be a close and ex
citing game, with honors about even,
and that one score will likely decide
the game.
Reno Hutchinson, of the local Y. M.
C. A- will act at umpire, and the ref
eree Is yet to be chosen. Dr. Roller, of
the Seattle Athletic Club will not bo
able to serve, and Manager Watkins. of
Multnomah, has recommended Lieuten

The Crlllon left Antwerp June 16
with a general cargo consigned to

Another vessel now pretty well over
due Is the British ship Bardowle. which
left Europe nearly 300 days ago. She
ran into bad weather with many
others and was forced to put Into
Cape Town July 17 for repairs. Since
Railing from that port on August
nothing has been heard from her. ex
cept that some weeks ago an incoming
vessel reported her off the Columbia
River bar. Little credence was placed
In this report, however, and with the
arrival of the ship Brabloch on No
vember 24. the belief gained ground
that the Brabloch was mistaken for
the Bardowle. while hanging around
off the bar waiting for a tow.
Unless having lost her bearings, the
Bardowle had no business off the Co
lumbla River at that time since her
ordera are to deliver a portion of her
cargo at Port Los Angeles before pro

FOOD CAN DO THINGS
Real Miracle Worked ha the Body.
From Manitoba a lady writes her rea
sons for the faith that Is in her as to
miracles wrought in the present day:
"I have been a great traveler In this
and -lands beyond the sea." she says, "and
It is not surprising that my digestive
apparatus, never very strong, should have
become thoroughly deranged from the
effect of the starchy, highly seasoned,
greasy dishes, usually set before way
farers. "I became the prey of all the distress
and wretchedness that accompany dys
pepsia, even to the development at times
of an acute state of paralysis of the lin
ing of the stomach, when I could eat
nothing but merely sip wajxu milk till
I was nearly starved and looked like a
half-live skeleton.
"My brain grew sluggish and insomnia
punished me till I became a hysterical
wreck. My only hope and desire at this
time was that I might reach the end of a
painful life, and that speedily.
"I heard ot the predigested Grape
Nuts food and some months ago, without
one grain ot faith In it. bought a box. I
found to my surprise that after one day's
use of It I was already benefited, and by
the time I had used all of the first pack
age I became convinced that the days ot
miracles are not yet over so great was
the Improvement that had come over me.
It was the opening of the door, as It were,
to good health and energy of brain and
body. It gave me new vigor, mental and
physical, my digestion was restored, all
the distressing symptoms of a disordered
stomach passed away, and the nervous,
hysterical woman at last began to know
what It really Is to live. My eyes "grew
brighter and my body rounded out with
returning flesh. In the first three weeks
I gained lt pounds in weight and ICO in
strength and energy.
"The Indescribable relief that came
when I realized that I -could discard the
nauseating drugs with which I had been
so long dosing myself and use In their
stead a food so delicious and strengthen
ing as Grape-Nuts, may be Imagined.
"I write this In simple gratitude, for I
feel that Grape-Xuts food has brought
back to me all the joy ot living." Xaaw
