THE MOXING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1903. 7 MALLOY SIGNS UP McCredie Gets Player From Chicago League. HAS NO PLACE FOR HIM youngster Who Will Join Beavers in South tin Offer Made Last Fall Comes With High Kec ommendatlons. Manager McCredie has secured a new man for his Portland baseball team, and is now somewhat puzzled to And a place for him. The new player's name is Malloy. and he has been a member of Jimmy Callahan's Chicago City League for several years. He was recommended to the Portland team last I''all. At that time McCredie made Malloy an offer, but until yesterday had heard nothing in response. In a telegram yesterday, McCredie was informed that Malloy had accept ed his terms, and -with Catcher Walsh, desired to come to the Pacific Coast Immediately. As the Chicago Ameri can League team was about to leave the Windy City for Los Angeles, both players expressed a desire. to accom pany that organization, and announced to McCredie that he would be able to nave several dollars by sending them tickets to go with the big leaguers. Unfortunately, McCredie received the notice too late for a reply to reach the players before the departure of the American Leaguers. Now he is won Jerlng what he will do with Malloy, who has accepted his terms and, ac cording to baseball law, belongs to the Portland team. This youngster is highly recommend ed by Fielder Jones, manager and cap tain of the Chicago Americans, who is now in Portland, and who saw him in a number of- games in Chicago last Summer. Jones says that Malloy is ne of the most promising young play rs he has ever seen, and that the Portland team will make no mistake in lecuring his services. The members of the Portland squad now in the city, and who will go south frith McCredie next Sunday, are prac ticing daily. John Bassey. Ed Ken nedy and Pearl Casey take short jaunts Dii the road each morning, and occa (lonally accompany Kennedy to Co lumbia University, where he is coach ing the baseball team of that institu tion. McCredie does a little gymnasium work when ' he finds time, and also takes a spin on the road In the early morning. All players express them selves as in the best of shape, and do not expect any difficulty getting hard ened to the game at Santa Barbara next week. Eddie Davey, Joe Stutt and George Wigg, who expect to play with the Trl-Clty League this season, are work ing out with the Portland players. Stutt was formerly a lirst-class In Hold er, and still believes that he can hold down the initial sack with any of them. Wigg Is ambitious to become a catcher of note, and while he enjoys a fair reputation in that position, will have to train down considerably before he can become a winner. NATIONAL.

Money Advanced to Tenants to Pay Pickers Considered First Lien on the Crop. SALBM. Or., Feb. 25. (Special.) In an opinion written -by Justice Eakin the Su preme Court decided an important hop case today and laid down rules of law which will Be hailed with delight by owners of hopyards who are compelled to put up picking money for their tenants. The decision virtually declares that a man who has an interest in the crop can harvest it and have a first lien for re imbursement even to the exclusion of the holder of a chattel mortgage on the crop who has made previous advances to the tenant. The case decided today was that of Abernethy vs. Uhlman. Charles H., G. V. and G. B. Abernethy leased their hopyard to Go Sun on shares, the tenant to cultivate, harvest and bale the crop and deliver one-third to the owners of the yard. For the purpose of secur ing money with which to cultivate and harvest the crop. Go Sun gave S. and F. Uhlman a chattel mortgage for $1500 to secure 'advances to be made. Prior to picking time Uhlman had advanced $700 but at picking time advanced no more. Go Sun could not get pickers and so reported to the Abernethys, who hired the pickers, paid the laborers and re tained possession of the crop. The Uhl mans brought suit to recover under their chattel mortgage, and in the lower court Judge Galloway held that the liens of the Abernethys and the Uhlmans were equal and should be paid pro rata. The Su preme Court reverses this and holds that upon the failure of Go Sun to harvest the crop the Abernethys had a right to do so and pay themselves out of Go Sun's share; that the Uhlmans hold no greater right than did Go Sun and cannot avoid the lien of the Abernethys. It is, there fore, ordered that the proceeds of the share of Go Sun be applied, first to the costs of suit, second to reimbursement of the Abernethys. and third, that any bal ance remaining be paid to the Uhlmans, who are also to have pudgment against Go Sun for any deficiency. Under this decision owners of hopyards under lease to irresponsible tenants can safely pay harvesting expenses notwith standing a chattel mortgage .Intervenes. In the case of W. G. Rowen, appellant vs. Ixuiise B. Hamilton, respondent, from Multnemah County, the Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice Moore, reversed a decision by Judge Frazer and holds that electric wiring when made a fixture be comes part of a building and that the value of the labor and material in making the improvements may be imposed as a lien upon the real property, under the statutes of this state. I TO DR. WILLAMETTE STUDENTS DIXE EX-PRESIDEXT. Words of Appreciation Tor His Work at University Retiring Edu cator Expresses Gratitude. SALEM, Or., Feb. 25. (Special.) Twenty-five of the leading students of AVillamette University gave a banquet at Hotel Willamette this evening in honor of Dr. John H. Coleman, who re cently retired from the presidency of the university, and who will soon leave for his former homo at Albany, New York. The banquet was one of the most elaborate student affairs ever held in Salem. After the assembled students and their guest had partaken of the many tempting viands spread befoi-fe them, each of the collegians expressed the sentiments that filled his mind on the occasion of bidding farewell to the man who had presided over the university for five years. In words of highest praise, the students spoke of the w.ork performed by Dr. Coleman in guiding the affairs of the Institution, and par ticularly of his success In securing four new buildings for the university cam pus, and subscriptions amounting to nearly $80,000 on the $100,000 endow ment fund. The keen interest Dr. Coleman lias al ways taken in all student enterprises, athletics, debates and social events, was warmly commended, also waa his encouraging and inspiring influence in his personal contact with students. The wish expressed by all who spoke was that Dr. Coleman's work in the future may be as productive of good as it has been here in Salem, and assurance was given that the beneficial results of his efforts here will be felt as long as the memory of Willamette University shall last. Responding to the addresses that had been made. Dr. Coleman voiced his gratitude for the ktnd manifestation of appreciation. He spoke of the many pleasant features of It's work and as sociation with the people of Oregon, and of the entire Northwest, in the cause of higher education, and thanked the students for the aid they had given by their co-operation and loyal sup port. For the students individually and for the.unlversity as an institution, He bespoke a successful future. The banquet given tonight very strongly indicates that the action of the student body last Friday in adopt ing a blank report submitted by a com mittee appointed to draft resolutions of appreciation, did not represent the real attitude of the students toward President Coleman. It seems that there was not a large attendance of students on that occasion, and it is probable that they did not understand the effect of their action. CLUB TEAM WINS Y: M. C. A. Five Defeated for Basketball Championship. GAME 1$ HOTLY CONTESTED Score of 21 to 15 at Portland Acad emy Gymnasium Gives First Place in the League to Multnomah. After one of the most hotly contest ed basketball games ever played in Portland, the Multnomah Club last night beat the Y. M. C. A. by six points, the final score standing 21 to 15 in favor of the clubmen. The game, which waa played at the Portland Academy gymnasium, decided the city championship and also the champion ship of the Northern Oregon League, and was witnessed by a large audience, of whom possibly half were women. Seen on the floor prior to the game, the "winged M's" appeared to be big ger and more limber than the associa tion five, and it was the general im pression that . the club would win easily. The association men opened strong. Forbes seemed to outreach his oppos ing center and at the beginning of the game made good use of this, securing the ball and passing It to Young, who scored. A foul on Multnomah resulted in another point, making three points against the "M's" in the first minute of play. At this point the association men lost their grip on the game for the remainder of the first half. Young missed the basket several times in succession, while Hartman was unable to convert some of his foul throws into baskets, the applause of the audi ence apparently affecting his nerves. The feature of the first half was a throw by Barton front well beyond the center line, which with unerring aim made the basket. Some roughing by Forbes was promptly stopped by Ref eree Wlnslow, bringing the first half to a close with a seore of 11 to 6 against the Association. In the beginning of the second half. Multnomah showed evidences of better training, the former long passing work of the Y. M. C. A. not being so much in evidence. Barton was once or twice guilty of obstructing his man and Morris at center was warned for using his knees In the jump-off. A crash of several men resulted in the retirement of Bellinger, who suffered a severe sprain. A. Allen replaced him. ' With the score standing at 20 to 8, the Y. M. C. A changed its formation to three forwards with successful re sults and for some time the Multnomah men were unable to hold them. Fight ing against the clock, Hartman's team pulled the Y. M. C. A. score up to 15, while Dent scored another foul throw, making the final score 21 to 15. There was some rougli work on both sides, but the referees kept this in con trol as far as possible, credit being due to Thorp and Wimslow in this respect. Morris and Barton were the shining lights for the winners, although the foul throw work of Dent deserves spe cial mention, as he made 11 points out of 17 fouls called. For the Y. M. C. A., Young and Gordon did good work. Hartman took the foul throws success fully converting 9 out of 22. "On superior training and all-round play, Multnomah beat us." said Cap tain Hartman, while Bellinger paid a tribute to the Association men. The spectators were impartial In their ap plause, although most of the spectators were Multnomah sympathizers. The lineup: Y. M. C. Hartman . Gordon C. Forbes . . . Gordon L. Young . . . . A- M. A.

It is a simple conipound of pure roots and herbs that have a direct action on the kidneys. It was the secret 76 years ago of an old Quaker lady. It was given to the public by James Doan, a druggist, and is now known and recommended the whole world over. Home cures prove the value of Doan'o Kidney Fills to our readers. PORTLAND PRUOK, Mrs. A. 'Canavan, 330' Lincoln St., Portland. Oregon, says: "Whenever I hear anyone complaining of kidney trouble I always advise the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, knowing them to be a reliable remedy for this com plaint. For two or three years my back ached a' great deal and it was only with a great effort that I was able to perform my housework. Dizzy spells and headaches also annoyed me and I was devoid of energy and ambi tion. When Doan's Kidney Pills were finally brought to my attention, I ob tained a box at the Laue-Davis Drus; Co. and found more relief from them than from anything else I had ever taken. My experience with them should Convince the most skeptical." c rounl) W TIHM8 J
