SIGNS NEW PLAYERS
McCredie Gets Four Ball Play
ers to Sign Contracts.
COME WELL RECOMMENDED
Three From California and One
From Xew Mexico, and All Said
to Be Good Men Three on
Team From San Diego.
In the past -three days Manager "Wal
ter McCredie has secured the signatures
to contracts of four promising young
players to be with Portland next season.
The names of the quartet are Clarence
Dugan, shortstop of the St. Mary's Col
lege team of last season; Catcher Har
rigan. of the Albuquerque. X. M., team;
Third Baseman Halllhan, of the Alameda.
Cal.. State League team: and Traeger. a
pitcher, of San Diego, who is now playing
in the Winter League.
Manager SrcCredie has been negotiating
with these players for some time, and is
highly elated at landing them, for all
have been recommended most highly.
Dugan played with St. Mary's College
teajn against Portland last Spring and
it was due to his phenomenal fielding
that Portland lost a game to the col
legians. He is now in Seattle, where hi
home is. and Manager McCredie received
a letter from him containing his signature
attached to a contract for next season.
McCredie believe the youngster will
make good with one of the Portland
teams.
Burns Recommends Harrigan.
Harrigan. the catcher from Albuquer
que, was recommended to Manager Mc
Credie by Big Bill Burns, the Washing
ton American League pitcher, who says
he Is a husky youngster that promises
to develop into one of the greatest
catchers in the business. McCredie be
lieves enough in Burne' judgment to give
Harrigan a trial, and is therefore well
pleased at receiving the catcher's signed
contract.
Hallihan. the new infielder, is a former
Santa Clara College player, who was a
teammate of Hal Chase when the latter
played for the Catholic "College. He is a
youngster and last season made a good
showing in the California State League.
He was with the Alameda team and his
work was of such a high order that sev
eral clubs have been after him for soma
time. He Is a. warm friend of Pearl
Casey, as well as of Manager McCredie,
and in thin way he came to sign a Port
land contract. He is an infielder who has
played third base probably better than
any other position, and he will be given
a chance to make that position on the
Portland team.
Traeger Good lUght-IIander.
Traeger. the new twlrler, is a clever
young right-hander who is said to be
even better than Caraon. the Taeoma
wonder who hails from the samo place.
Traeger had been recommended to Man
ager Schreeder, of Tacoma. by Ike But
ler, but McCredie beat them to it and
signed the player to a Portland contract.
Traeger, Ferraris and Carson will make
three men from San Diego on the Port
land team.
Jimmy Shinn. the young player who
was with Portland during the season of
1907. and who practically led the Cali
fornia State League In batting last sea
son, has signed again with McCredie and
will try for an infield or outfield position
on rfhe Portland teams. Shinn writes
that he intend to make good this time,
and says that he Is heavier and playing
better ball than ever before in his life.
HEIXTUCH WANTS CHANCE
Says He Can Throw Three Times in
Hour for Big Forfeit.
Joe Heinrich. the Spokane wrestler
who was defeated by Ed O'Connell
Thursday night, wants another chance
at the Multnomah instructor. Hein
rich proposes to defeat O'Connell next
time, and Issues a defy worthy of con
sideration. According to Heinrich. and
the appearance of the man on the mat
at Merril's hall bears out his state
ment, he was overdrawn in making the
required weight to cover his forfeit.
He now proposes to throw O'Connell
three times in one hour, or 60 minutes
wrestling time, provided O'Connell will
permit him to go on the mat at his
regular weight. Heinrich says that In
TO PREPARE FOR TRACK

J
normal condition he should weigh In
the neighborhood of 180 pounds, and
announces that if O'Connell will allow
him this handicap he will agree to
throw him three times within the time
specific or forfeit a sum of money to
be named later as a guarantee.
The Spokane boy, who Is employed
in a candy manufacturing concern at
the Falls City, also states that he will
not be able to wrestle until after the
first of the year because of business.
After January 1 he will be willing to
take up the matter, he says, and an
nounces that he will send a guarantee
sum from Spokane as soon as he
reaches there in order to show htn
good faith. He left last night for his
home, and the sum he announced he
would send here is merely to show that
he means business, and that he will
Increase it when arrangements are
made for the bout. He is not particu
lar whether the return match takes
place in Portland or In Spokane, and
wants to hear from O'Connell or from
his promoters and backers immedi
ately. Heinrich admits that O'Cbnnell dis
played more class Thurdsay night, but
says it was due to the fact that he
was unable to get his speed because
of the training stunts he indulged in
to make the weight. He also says he,
weighed only 162 pounds when he went
on the mat that night, and that In
making that weight he was weakened
materially.
As O'Connell Is said to have consid
ered a similar proposition from Roller,
who outweighs Heinrich something
like SO pounds at normal weight, it is
quite likely that the Multnomah man
will consider the Spokane boy's pro
posal. Indoor Baseball Game Tonight,
The first Indoor baseball game of the
season will be played at the Armory to
night, when Company C and Battery A
will meet on the indoor diamond. Both
teams are anxious for the fray, and as
no admission will be charged, a good
crowd should be on hand to witness this
exciting Winter sport. Both teams are
equally matched and should put up a
most interesting game.
Baptisto Defeats Acton.

PIGGE CHANGES HIS NAME
Not Ashamed of It, but Friends Made
It Appear Kidiculous.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 4. (Special.)
By decree of Judge Morris, of the King
County Superior Court, the name of
Richard Pigge was yesterday changed
to Richard Bell. Mr. Pigge's name has
been a source of annoyance to him for
years, according to his own statement,
and the court gave him the chance, on
his petition, to take the family name of
his mother. He stated in court that he
wasn't ashamed of his name, but that
friends and acquaintances were con
stantly making it appear ridiculous.

If this contention is countenanced by
the court It will have the effect of un
settling and reopening scores of cases in

cast by the fact that Palmer, Root and

STOP KILLING OF
T
Law for Protection of Chinese
Pheasants Proposed by
Game Association.
STATUTE BEING DRAFTED
Several Years Closed Season for Elk
and Removal of Prohibition of
Sale of Ducks Contem
plated In Xew Act.
Officers of the Oregon Fish and
Game Association will propose exten
sive amendments to the existing game
laws of the state at the coming session
of the Legislature. A committee, rep
resenting the association, of which A.
E. Gebhardt is secretary, is revising
the various sections of the code with
reference to the protection of fish and
game. It is the purpose of the com
mittee to simplify the state's statutes
on this subject so that the average
citizen by reading the law will be able
to place an intelligent construction on
Its provisions.
"The committee expects in about two
weeks to complete the first draft of the
law as we will seek to have it amend
ed," said Mr. Gebhardt yesterday. "We
are taking considerable pains and de
voting a great deal of our time that
laws which will protect our fish and
game may be formulated for the con
sideration of the state's lawmakers.
A mistaken impression prevails that
those laws in the past have been framed
in the interest of tho city sportsman ex
clusively rather than for the protection
of the fish and game. In its work the
committee is doing everything in its
power to dissipate that idea. What, Is
needed In this state is legislation that
will protect and multiply the state's fish
and game regardless of any selfish in
terest. What Is more it is the intention
of the committee to suggest uniform laws
that shall apply In all counties alike.
Endless confusion we find has resulted
from the laws as' they are now conr
stituted from the fact that different re
strictions are imposed in practically every
county of the. state."
In response to a general demand alike
from the hunters and the farmers, the
committee will recommend a law estab
lishing a closed season of at least two
years for the protection of the Chinese
pheasant. Another law will be suggested
prohibiting the killing of elk for a period
of five or six'years.
The Legislature also will be asked to
provide a bounty fund on crows, wolves
and cougars. Between crows and the
animals named it is asserted by members
of the committee that more birds and
other game are killed annually than by
the sportsmen. It is for that reason the
committee believes the state should make
provision for this sort of protection.
Under the present law the county courts
are empowered, if deemed expedient, to
provide such a bounty fund, but the
members of the committee feel that the
expense should ' be borne by the state
directly rather than by any one county
or group of counties since the benefits
following such a policy are state-wide
and not confined to the community in
which such a tax is levied.
As a result of considering several bills
amendatory of the state law relating to
trout at the 1907 session it was discovered
after the Legislature had adjourned that
the provision for a closed season for
trout had been repealed. The result has
been that trout fishing has been legal
during any month since February, 1907.
This defect in the law for the protection
of trout will be corrected this Winter if
the recommendations of the commute of
the Oregon Fish and Game Association
are adopted.
There is a demand from many sources
that the law which forbids the sale of
ducks in the market be repealed. It has
been suggested to the committee that in
arranging for the sale of ducks in the
market, the limit that can be taken any
week be reduced from 50 to 35. In rec
ommending this legislation, the com
mittee will propose that dealers in game
be required to keep a record of all pur
chases, the number of ducks bought to
gether with the date, and the name of the
man from whom they were bought. This
record shall be open to inspection by the
State Game Warden.
Various other provisions of the game
laws of the state will be revised purely
in the interest of protection.

BIG BATTLE IS OH TODAY
MULTNOMAH TO MEET O. A. C.
IX FOOTBALL GAME.
Corvallis Team Has Some of Its
Best Players on Hospital List,
But Hopes lo Win.
While somewhat crippled by accidents
to players, both Multnomah and Oregon
Agricultural College are ready for the
big game this afternoon: the first meet
ing between the two elevens in three
years. ' v
Tfie Oregon Agricultural College squad
arrived at the Hotel Danmoore last
night and each player is confident that
his team will be able to repeat the trick
turned by the University of Oregon in
lowering the colors of the clubmen.
Cady, one of the Aggies' star men, is
Incapacitated by injuries and will not
play, while Captain Carl Wolff is also
on the hospital list through a severe
sprain received at Seattle.
Like all players, however, Wolff de
sires to get In the game, and may do so
despite the advice of his coach, for he
realizes that the Aggies will be handi
capped without a man who can kick the
ball for goodly gains. In the event that
Wolff is eliminated. Engberg will play
his half, and do the kicking, alternating
with Keck. Cooper and Wallace are also
on the hospital list, not having recov
ered from the gruelling battle at Seattle
on Thanksgiving. However, their In
juries are not so serious that they will
be prevented from playing, and each
may be able to get Into the game in the
second half:
The Multnomah Club eleven is in fair
ly good shape, although several of the
players have not recovered from the ef
fects of the Oregon game. The team
will enter the game practically intact,
though Forres Smithson may not play.
He was slightly injured In the Oregon
game an in view of the fact that he is
anxious to participate in the A. A. IT.
games at Seattle next year, he does not
care to jeopardize his chances by play
ing football. He has Informed Manager
Pratt that, if It is absolutely necessary,
he will play this afternoon, but that it
will be his last game this season. Smith
son is the world's champion high hurdler
and as his old rivals, Garrels and Shaw,
are coming to the Seattle meet, Smith
son desires to bV in his best form to
meet them.
Dow Walker, the former O. A. C. star
player, and Bert Pilkington. another
graduate of the Corvallis institution,
will play today for the first time against
their alma mater. Both players will
work as hard for Multnomah as they
did in former days for the Farmers. It
will be interesting to watch the battle
between Walker and Jamieson, the latter
being Walker's successor on the Corval
lis team.
Oliver M. Cutts, of Seattle, and R. X.
Hockenbcrry. of Portland, will act as
umpire and referee this afternoon-, while
Hugh J. Boyd will be field judge. The
game will start promptly at 2:30 o'clock

California Fisli Merchant May Have
Been Waylaid and Killed Had
Iirge Sum in Gold.
Bv discoveries made last night. Port
land authorities have developed tell
theory that Henrv Gushaw. the fish
merchant from Fortuna. Cal., who died
in St. Vincent's Hospital on Thursday
night, had ben murdered and robbed,
and was not the victim of a protracted
spree. This fact was brought to light
by the results of a post-mortem exam
ination, made last night by Dr. Ziegk-r,
City Physician, at the undertaking es
tablishment of Dunnins, McKntee &
Gilbaugh. From evidence disclosed it
is now believed that he had been
knocked on the head witii a sandbag,
slungshot, or some other heavy instru
ment. A large blood clot was found
on the brain, and at the conclusion of
the autopsy Dr Ziegler declared death
ha dresulted from brain concussion and.
hemorrhage, which could have been
caused only through the, instrumental
ity of a blow on the head.
Aided to this convincing evidence
came the surprising testimony of a
close friend of the dead man, a woman,
who was closeted with the Coroner yes
terday, but whose identity is being
withheld by that official, and who
swears that Gushaw had between $300
and $400 in gold coin In his posses
sion. This money and his suitcase have
never been found. Only $t.05 was
found in his pockets when his clothing
was searcht-d at the police station. The
sole conclusion to tie drawn, say the
authorities, -is that he was. struck
down and robbed.
