EWING MAKES NEW RULE
President of Pacific Coast League
Discusses Proposed Extension to
- Include Six or Fight Clubs.
Will Visit Seattle.
BY WIUL. G. MAG RAE.
J. Cal Ewing, president of the Pa
cific Coast league, arrived in Port
land yesterday morning and was as
greatly disappointed as the local fans
because the grounds at the ball park
were too wet for the opening game
with Oakland. With Judge W. W.
McCredie and Henry Berry, of the Los
Angeles team and a dozen or more
anxious fans, he held an inquest over
the condition of the Vaughn-street
grounds. After President Ewing had
slaved around second base with a
broom, a verdict was reached that a
game rould. be played and the hour
was set for 4 o'clock. This would
have been fine as Mable's curls, but
Pop Van Haltren and Tlmp Perrine,
feeling in need of an afternoon's
siesta, did not show up.
When the president of the league
discovered their absence, he cut loose
some peppery language and established
a new league rule right off the ball.
Hereafter, visiting teams and the Ump
will show up at the grounds in
uniform and stay there nntil the game
has been officially called off. ' If they
don't, the treasury of the league will
be enriched by a Juicy fine. The Ump
also came in for a call, because he
failed to adorn the scene with his
presence. Manager McCredie's fol
lowers were on deck, and had Man-
down to business. In speaking of the
expansion of the league. President Ew
ing said:
"The Pacific Coast League is one of
the fastest and best minor leagues,
just as it stands today. We convinced
the baseball men who attended the an
nual meeting of the minor leagues of
this fact last Winter, when we were In
New. York. An attempt was made then
to take our class A standing from us,
but it failed. - The only reason for ex
tending the league. Is that we believe
the patrons prefer seeing new faces and
more teams, such as a six or eight-club
league would give them. Receipts, thus
far this season, show an Increase of 25
per cent. While I ar in the north I have
made up my mind to take a run over
to Seattle and Tajcoma. Judge Mc
Credie wants me also to go to Spokane.
Mr. - Berry happens to be here because
his wife is visiting friends in Seattle,
so he will go along.
"Another thing which has brought
about the talk of expansion is that Los
Angeles wants continuous baseball.
The Mayor of Los Angeles and a num
ber of his associates are anxious to
back a team at Long Beach, and E.
Kripp. a wealthy horseman, who was
formerly connected with baseball in
Sacramento, has. already started on a
ball park on which he expects to'spend
$70,000. It will be almost in the heart
of the city."

he could have ordered his talent in
their white suits and then, when the
game was called, would have won the
lirst encounter via the forfeit route.
All this might have been, but there
was no salve in it for the fans who
made two journeys to the Vaughn
street playgrounds.
May Go to Spokane.
There is really nothing significant
in President Ewlng's visit at this time.
Ha stated at the annual pow-wow
that he would make it a point to .travel
over the Coast League circuit, once
if not twice, during the playing sea
son. While he is in the North, how
ever. President Kwing, Judge McCre
die and Mr. Berry will make a flying
visit to Seattle and perhaps extend
the visit to Spokane. In spite of the
Muff made by. the moguls of the
Northwest league, backed up by some
of the sporting writers up North, the
Coast league still has a grappling
hold on Seattle. No one knows this
better than do Ctipld Dugdale. Presi-
dent Lucas and the rest of the North
west league officials. They and the
sporting writers know that deal with
Kuss Hall was not on the square and
should the Coast League magnates,
after a look at things at Seattle. Ta
rnhiA and Spokane, decide that it
would be policy again to have Seattle
in the fold, the matter will undoubt
edly be brought before, the . National
Commission.
It Is an undeniable fact that Russ Hall
was given the Seattle Pacific Coast
L?nsue franchise. He attended the an
nual meeting for this purpose and the
minutes of the league meeting will show
that Hall had stated that lie would have
no trouble in getting the proper financial
backing in Seattle. It was with this un
derstanding that he was given the fran
chise. Undoubtedly when Hall returned
to Seattle he found some trouble In get
ting hacking. This is granted in charity
to Hall, yet the fact that he double-
crossed the Coast League magnates
scorns certain on the face of the events
that followed. Hall was influenced by
some one high up In the Northwest
lrfaup, with the resiUt that as & com
pensation for throwing down the Coasters,
he was made manacer of Butte.
BeeatiBe of the situation in California,
the Coast league aid not make a fight
to hold Seattle, but now with Sacramento
knevkina; at the door again and with
moneyed men In Los Angeles willing to
finance a team at Ixng Beach, trouble
may break out for Hall and the rest of
the Northwest League members who fig
tired in the deal. President Kwing is not
k"en on taking Spokane into the league.
for he figures the jump from Los Angeles
is too great. He will be governed, how
ever, by the vote of the tother magnates
In the league. Spokane has long wanted
to join the Coasters. ' ft is a smashing
good baseball town, and the business men
who would be in control of things, if
the city was to become a Coast League
town, are all prominent. The solution
will have to be worked out and this is
not likely to happen until the annual
meeting. ,
Favor Six-Club League.
President Ewing is sweet on a six
club league which would include Port
land,, San Francisco. Oakland. Los An
geles. Sacramento and Ixng Beach.
This smacks Just a little ton much of a
full California hand. With Seattle and
Taccma or Spokane added, making- it
an eight-club afTair, the. league, while a
bit lopsided, would not be unwieldy. It
would mako the schedule framers get

times up, slammed out two singles and
a terrific drive over the back fence.
Bennett's first homer came with one
on " the sacks, and his second with
two ahead of him. Lussi's came with
the bases clear. Seattle made three
runs in the first inning, and this would
have been enough to win as it proved.
Adams at short, who also joined the
team today, played a good game in the
field, but did nothing with the stick.
Dugdale was put out of the grounds
and fined a for telling Rush to give
