12 THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 190S. t t COAST MAGNATES II BIG LEAGUE Cal Ewing and W. H. Berry Laying Plans for Eight Club Circuit. LOOKING THE FIELD OVER They Expect to Add Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane and All Are Willing Except Dngdale, of Seattle. Gossip of the Diamond. BY W. J. PETRAIN. , J. Cal Ewing, president of the Pacific Coast League and chief mogul of the San Francisco ciub. has finally found a few leisure ' momenta from his duties as State Bank Examiner for California, and will he a visitor within the gates of Portland for several days, co-.nmenc-Ine; this morning, when he will reach this city in company with the Oakland club. The approaching visit of Mr. Ewing and the presence of W. Henry Berry, the. genial owner of the los Angeles club, together with the announced in tention of these official to visit Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, has again set the festive bugs humming about a Greater Pacific Coast Jague for 1909. and the recently published accounts in the San Francisco papers relative to a Sacra mento man having been favored with a promise that he would be allowed the franchise for the California capital" in the event of the league expanding, seem to point toward an eight-club circuit, or at least the discussion of such an or ganization on the part of the magnates. The proposed expansion of the Pa cific Coast League has been discussed pro and con on numerous occasions. The. California critics have taken the stand that a larger league Is neecs 'SHry and are out for expansion ail the time. On Puget Sound the situation is somewhat mixed. "Cupid" Dngdale. the acknowledged czar of the Northwest ern circuit, has. in the past, been un alterably opposed to the Pacific Coast League, hut recently is .said to have changed his views in a slight degree. However, Dugdale's policy in the mat ter will not interfere very materially with any decision the Pacific Coast Iengue magnates decide to make, for they are practically certain of support in Tacoma and Spokane, and with those two cities and Portland in the North, Lhigdaie will be compelled to knuckle or some one else will be placed in Seattle. Diigrlale's Strong Hold. Foxy Dug has a castiron hold on the Seattle scribes and a certain percent age of the fans, those of Seattle's fans who are so much Imbued with the Seat tic spirit that they forget all else but Seattle and Seattleites. but there isa portion ol the fandom of the Puget Sound metropolis who would willing ly welcome anything in the shape of baseball which would give Seattle a team of first-class material. Henry Berry has been in Portland 'since last Thursday, and will remain here several days before departing for the North with President Ewing. Os tensibly the two magnates are merely traveling for relaxation and to see the country, hut to the wise ones It ap pears as though their journey will be very much of a business-like affair. George Schreeder, the popular Tacoma magnate, wlll.be the first Northwestern Impressario to receive a visit from the Callfornians. and as he is known to be heartily In favor of the Pacific Coast League, the meeting will be mutually agreeable. Spokane presents the position of hav ing anxiously awaited the knock of the Pacific Coast League at her door for something like five years, and a the latchstring Is always out for progress by the Falls City enthusiasts, it Is practically i.ertain that a team of In dians will be a Pacific Coast League certainty in the event the magnates decide on expansion to eight clubs. On each and every opportunity that has presented Itself to Judge W. W. McCredie, he has written and talked Spokane to the California magnates tintil ills efforts have finally borne fruit and Messrs. Ewing and Berry are going to see for themselves. .When questioned recently relative to the possibility of the Pacific Coast League expanding. Magnate Berry of Los .Angeles was somewhat noncommittal, but said: "The question of expanding the Pacific Coast League to eight clubs has not been ofgclally discussed since the league meeting, and as to the policy of the club owners In the matter I cannot say. Personally, I favor a six or an eight-club circuit. We have heard a great deal about Spokane, and one of my objects in coming north was to visit that city, which 1 shall do before returning home." Portia lid Good Ball City. In referring to his present visit to Portland. Mr. Berry proved himself one of the most enthusiastic admirers of this city when he said, "I am going to stav lu re until it quits raining if it takes 'all Summer, hut I believe it will clear up shortly. At any rate this is a splendid baseball town. Why. with a storm like last Sunday, we wouldn't have had 15 jieople at the ball park, and here you had fully 1500. I can imagine what a crowd there was that Sunday with San I'ranclsco as the attraction. You can bet I like Portland, and am going to come here as often as I can spare the time and attention from by business in Los Angeles." Judge W. W. McCredle. president of the Portland club, will be In Portland today and the trio of magnates will get together for a discussion of the situation. The holding of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex position in Seattle next year is expected to cause a change of attitude on the part of the Seattle fans hitherto opposed to a coast league, for they will no doubt realize that It will add much more to Seattle's prestige to be affiliated with a Class A league, than with the inferior rating possessed at present. The prospect of an elglu-club league is rleasinar news for the fans, and whether It materializes or not it will a fiord them n opportunity for argument something for which the average fan is always pre pared. With Portland. Seattle. Tacoma and Spokane on the north, and San FrancUjco. Oakland. Sacramento and Los Angeles on the south, the Coasters would have a cir cuit second to no claw A league in the countrj. Oakland Opens Today. Weather permitting.

Mr. Nel son has put up a handsome silver cup as a perpetual challenge trophy for the San Francisco and Los Angeles autoists who make the best time between these two cities, and after he makes the trip from San Francisco to Portland it is possible that he will offer a cup for competition between these points.

JUS t wo ST because Los Angeles Bill Burns on a game for Washington the other day, making it two straight from Phila delphia, the sporting scribe smeared over two columns to tell the story. Evidently this typewriter-beater thinks the Wash ington fans haven't anything to do but plough through two columns of dry rot. Miss Inez Mulholland, of London, who is getting the classic finishing touches at Vassar, threw a baseball ISO feet and heaved an eight-pound shot 14 feet. Dear Inez, just as long as Bnglish mothers will send their athletic daughters nvsr here, we . don't care how many long-haired Willie boys are sent to Oxford. Over in London and Paris, where a dingy is as good as his little white brother, Jack Johnson and that black mush, Sam McVey are having a great time. It hasn't been so Ion? n-to tince McVey was vagged In California and Johnson arrested in New York for having too many af Unities around. Yet if the Paris sports can stand for Count Boni, they ought to be able to stand for the pair of fighting smokes. Boston has turned Carlisle back to Los Angeles. Manager Berry hasn't decided what disposition he will make of the out fielder. Red Walsh has gone back to his old love, Quincy. The little back stop, for his inches, is the best in the business. Mc Predie would have kept Walsh had Whalen not have developed as he did Good luck. Red. Ote Johnson broke the long dry spell that struck his batting average. He made two singles yesterday. These two, with the one Cooney got. made three for the room. Bassey was to get a new hat in yes terday's game, provided he made a two bagger. He's wearing his old hat, for he failed to connect. Johnson, Cooney and Bassey have a suite of rooms. The compact is that some one of the three must get at least one hit for the suite or there will be trouble, and lots of it. Manager McCredie has bought a savage bull dog to guard the clubhouse. Thieve3 looted the place last week, stole several suit cases and a lot of bats and ball3. also clothing belonging to the players. Captain Dillon and George Wheeler are enthusiastic sportsmen. They spent last Winter at one of the Southern California resorts and enjoyed great quail shooting. Look out for this one. This is apt to be one of the off days a revival of the Dutch and Irish- games. Ote Johnson, Captain of the Dutch, has challenged Captain Casey, of the Irish. 'I like Portland." said Ed Pinnance. "I like these beautiful hills and this restful- green." Then when he was told Ihat It was green all the year round in Port land, the Chippewa Chief tui-ned hU eyes eastward and gazed through the mist and said. "But I believe after all I want the snow and ice. and the cold Winters of my home." Tom Raftery is a great lover at foot ball.

Miles, who Saturday was defeated for the court tennis championship by Jay Gould, in an article in the Daily Graphic says: "Never In my life have I experienced such a set of adverse strokes and situa tions. They might be summed up thus: That I just missed and- he just got. I make no excuse for myself; I deserved to miss because I did not hit quite ac curately.' while he did." Miles thinks that now he knows Gould's new. service, ha will be less unprepared n- .fc.Sc, .,:.. The tour of Mr. Nelson and party will be eagerly watched by the Portland pub lic, and should Mr. Nelson's car succeed in making the trip In the time expected, It will prove one of the greatest argu ments yet advanced in favor of building ahlghway between Portland and San Francisco. J. B. Kelly, the local representative of the manufacturers of the White auto mobile, is in possession of the Nelson cup, which he has placed on exhibition at a down-town store. The cup is now the property of the donor, for he holds the present record between San Fran cisco and Los Angeles, but he expects that some one will clip a few minutes or seconds off his mark at any time and gain possession of the handsome trophy. and will do better if he meets him next Saturday. DRIVING CLUB TO PARTICIPATE Will Enter COO Pleasure Vehicles In , Rose Show Parade.

Rain Prevents Game With Eugene. The baseball game which was to have been played between the Eugene High School and Columbia University teams yesterday afternoon had to be called off on account of rain. While It cleared up in the afternoon somewhat, the Vaughn-street grounds were covered with water and it was impossible to play there. "It was decided to play on the Columbia diamond, but before, the teams returned from the professional grounds it had commenced to rain again so that the game was postponed indefinitely. It was a keen disappoint ment to the Eugene boys who had made the trip from Eugene for this one game. They returned home last night. Defeat Hood River Team. The Stevenson, Wash., baseball team defeated the Hood River team in a well played game of baseball Sunday after noon at Stevenson, the score being 7 to 0. As the sixth inning opened rain descended in torrents and caused the game to be called. Pitcher Higgins, of the Stevenson team, maintained his clear record, and the fans of the hustling Washington town are willing to back him against any semi-professional in the Northwest. Tennis for Olympic Games. LONDON, May 18. The court tennis toornament of the Olympic games was opened at Queens Club today. Eustace H. Miles, the English player, defeated Charles E.

ASSURE GOOD CROPS Heavy Rains Save Inland Em pire's Spring Wheat. CAME IN NICK OF TIME General Freight Agent Miller, of the Harriman System, Receives Most Encouraging Reports From All Parts of His Territory. Special inquiry was made yesterday by th Harriman lines throughout the wheat-growing districts of Oregon and Washington and the Willamette Valley to learn the extent of the recent rains and the resulting effect on crop con ditions. Agents for the O. R. & N. and Southern Pacific throughout the terri tory report that the showers have as-, cured bumper crops of nearly all prod ucts, and that the prospects were never brighter. There has been a marked deficiency In rain throughout the grain belt, so far this Spring, until the past few days. Many growers almost despaired of good crops as a result- However, the down pour of the past few days has put these men in good humor, for they say boun tiful crops are now assured. The crop reports came to General Freight Agent Miller as the result' of messages sent out by him. Inquiry in each grain-growing district tapped by the O. R. & N. lines elicited most favorable report, with the exception of Connell. There and in the surround ing country there has been insufficlenf moisture, even with the recent show ers, and it is said that unless heavier rains fall there soon, the Spring grain crop will be lost. Sherman County reports the pros pects for a big crop never better. The recent rains have been very beneficial and the weather was said to be clear and warm, making ideal growing con ditions. One June rain, it waa said, would make a bumper yield of grain. In Gilliam County, plenty of moisture was reported, and all crops are. doing well. No damage of any character to anything was indicated. Farmers are talking bumper crops in Morrow County. The recent heavy rains have put all crops in the best possible condition. Throughout the Powder River Valley crops are excellent. In the Grand Ronde Valley about one inch of rain has fallen and cerial crops were never better. There was a slight frost at La Grande but no damage was done. Grain and fruit crops both wer helped by rain In the Walla Walla country. The prospects are said to have never been better than they were yesterday for record yields in these two big products of that district. Throughout the Palouse country, with the exception of Connell and vi cinity, prospects for large crops are very favorable, and the condition of all crops is good. y The same satisfactory conditions are reported from the Willamette Valle,y by Southern Pacific agents. Grain pros pects are said to be excellent. Apples are doing well, but It Is said other fruit may yield less than last year. Mr. Miller 1 much gratified with the result of his Inquiry. He says it looks as if the farmnig demonstration trains recently run through the Inland Empire had been successful. . t n i AT THE HOTELS. The" Portland. A. P. Wood. Los Aniceles:' Mrs. H. M. Johns.
