Definite Plans Made to Greet
Oregon Athletes.
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.

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. Yours truly.

Manager Portland Commercial Club.
