BIG BANQUET ON RETURN Sporting Editors of Three Portland Papers Will Welcome Smlthson, ; Gilbert and Kelly and Dis- tribute State Literature. At the meeting of the general committee having in charge the celebration to be held in Portland in honor of Oregon's three victorious athletes, on their return home, held at the Commercial Club last night, it was decided to increase the wel coming committee which is to go to New York from two to three members. This contingency arose through the in ability of George W. McMillan, president of the Multnoruah Club, who was delegat ed at the meeting of the club directors on Tuesday evening, to leave Portland at this time. The resignation of Mr. McMillan was received with sincere regret on the part of the general committee, and on motion of George W. Simons, which was seconded by William McMurray. William J. Petraln, sporting editor of The Ore- gonian, and Robert A. Cronln. sporting editor of the Oregon Daily Journal, were elected to form the committee, together with Robert Lee Ringer, sporting editor of The Evening Telegram, Mr. Petraln being named as chairman of the commit tee. They will go to New York to wel come Forrest C. 8mithson, Alfred C. Gil bert and Dan J. Kelly and escort the vie torlous trio to Portland. The resolution Increasing the dele gation and naming the delegates was carried unanimously. Mr. McMillan who waa afterward added to the finance committee, volunteered person lly to raise the amount required in sending the extra member of the com mlttee. Other names added to the finance committee were General Charles F. Beebe. George W. Simone Robert Lee Ringer, Ben Selling. Julius L. Meier and Frank Templeton General Beebe, who Is also a member of the committee in charge of arrang ing for a banquet In honor of the ath letes, submitted a report whereby it is planned to have plates laid for 125 guests, including the athletee. This was the most complete report filed. for most of the other committees were handicapped by the absence of mem bers who were out of town. The report of the finance commit tee showed that, while the merchants were responding liberally when ap proached, hardly one-fifth of the busi ness houses had been visited bv th committee. The new members of the committee will assist materially In se curing the required amount and by Monday It Is hoped to have all the funds necessary to cover expenses. The committee, however, will have plenty of time in which to canvass the city, for the next meeting of the board has been set for next Thursday night. The opportunity of advertising Ore gon in this matter is so pronounced that tne merchants are to be urged to recognize this in a signal manner. No effort will be spared in the endeavor to present with emphasis before the Eartern public the fact that three Ore gon boys were comprised among the victorious American athletes who com peted against 2000 athletes from all over the world. George Small, editor of the Baker City uemocrat, addressed a communication to the committee In which he states that Baker City will do Its share in honoring tne uregon Doys and is especially plan ning a demonstration In honor of Dan L. Kelly, the Baker City lad who was one of the successful trio. The other two athletes. Smlthson and Gilbert, are resi dents of Portland. The welcoming committee, on its way East, will have much work to do. as sev eral of the principal cities along the route are to be visited, and arrangements made for Informal receptions In honor of the boys. Some of this work has al ready been done by correspondence, but the brunt of It will devolve upon the com mittee which will visit the points to be se lected. William McMurray, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. Company, is preDarlnc- a. nsmnhler dealing with Oregon generally, and con taining pictures of Smlthson, Kelly and Gilbert, together with a brief biography of the lads, and these books will be dis tributed by the comrriittee while in the East. The Commercial Club, Chamber of Commerce and other commercial or ganizations are preparing similar data to be dispensed by this committee.

FANS -WANT" NEW CIRCUIT Portland Public Demands Admis sion of Seattle and Tacoma or Change of This City to Northwestern League. BY W. J. PETRAI!. Within the next few days a con ference of considerable Importance to the baseball public will be held in some city of the' Pacific Northwest, but owing 'o the secrecy of the mag nates, the exact time and place has not been divulged. J. Cal Ewing. prime mover and president of the Pacific Coast League. is said to be on his way to Portland, Seattle or Tacoma. His destination is not heralded, but it is said that he comes north to consult the magnates 1 of this vicinity with a view to map ping out next season's programme. as well, as arranging for a change of the circuit. League Needs Six Clubs. The baseball patrons of Portland de mand that the league be increased be cause four clubs do not furnish enough variety. Six or eight clubs must be Included In the circuit in order that it shall enjoy popular favor. At the same time a Pacific Coast League com prising six clubs, five of which shall be located In California, will posi tively not meet with favor in Port land. This city demands th: t the Pacific Coast League take In Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, although, if necessary, the first two would prove sufficient. The business men of Portland have finally come to realize that the time Is now ripe for a general agitation against Portland continuing as the ap pendage to the California cities, and desire the recognition of our North western neighbors who are directly allied with us along business as well as social lines. The Pacific Coast League can claim the Northwest territory and make the claim hold. Seattle, Tacoma and Spo kane want faster birseball than Is now being furnished them by Lucas and Dutrdale. This is true despite the weird attempts of the Seattle scribes to emphasize. Dugdale's faults, which they choose to describe as excellent qualities in a manager. Tire Seattle baseball team Ms at present enjoying series of successes that calls forth many psalms in honor of the peer less Seattle magnate, whose only real attribute is his desire to get the money at the expense of the Seattle public. Up to two weeks ago the beattie baseball club was unable to win many games, and during that time the Dug dale press agents filled the air with their cries of "hard luck," "good game, but lost," and "fierce umpiring," all of which were expected to salve the fans into the belief that Seattle really had a ball club. While the press agents up North are knocking the Coast League propo sltion from every possible viewpoint, the fact remains that the public at large Is demanding a better brand of baseball than is being given at pres ent. The public cares very little whether its wishes are realized through a Coast League, or through a Class A Pacific Northwest League. Dugdale Stands by Lucas. Dugdale balks at the Coast League because of the antipathy against Lucas on this circuit, and especially in .Portland. Dug will make a grand stand play against California and the Pacific Coast League in the hope of weaning Portland away, but this is hardly likely to happen unless some extremely unusual developments arise, for this city will not stand for dic tatorship from men of the caliber of Dugdale and Lucas. Despite the antipathy to Dugdale and Lucas, Portland is friendly to the Northwestern League, but It is a cinch bet that if the McCredies do join with Seattle and the other towns, the Seat tle fat man and his hireling will oc cupy bench positions and wear muzzles. The agitation over the increasing of the circuit has created considerable speculation as to the composition of the league next season. Most of the fans interviewed want a Northwest League, but are not unfavorable to a Pacific Coast League that would In clude Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane. There the matter rests, and develop ments will be eagerly watched by the fans. ADVISES CHANGE IN LEAGUE Tom Richardson Gives Views Baseball Situation. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 13. (To the Sporting Editor.) I have watched with unusual interest your campaign re gardlng the affiliation of Portland with the Northwestern League, and it oc curs to me that from a business stand point, if no other, it would be advan tageous for Portland to belong to a league which would Include the cities of the Northwest. Viewed from Its advertising aspect. It would be worth a great deal to Port land to appear constantly In the read ing columns of the newspapers pub lished In the territory from which she draws her business. The present league Is three-fourths California and one-fourth Oregon, and this connection has one advantage in the fact that Portland and Oregon in consequence get occasional mention in California papers. Under ordinary con ditions it is almost impossible to get story about this city or state into a California paper, unless it is one dam aging to us. The visit of a special train of Oregon business men is dis missed by a single paragraph In San Francisco. The establishment of great packing plants, a cement factory, enor mous building operations, record-making shipments of lumber and wheat, and any other character of news that would do Portland and Oregon good all are Ignored, but first page can al ways be had for any lie that a promi nent Callfornlan In public life may have to tell about the Columbia River or some other derogatory story. The Oregonian's recent editorial gave some of the real - reasons why we should play ball witn the people who make the great Northwest and whose interests are consequently identified In greater or less degree with a greater Portland.
