tiUCAS IS ASKED TO HELP
I'ro-lclrnt of Northwestern -Teams 19
Requested to Conduct Negotia
tions, and Will Probably Also
I fead the New Organization.
Negotiation are under way for the or
ganization of an Intermountain baseball
i league, to comprise the cities of Butte,
' Helena. Salt Lake, Ogden, Boise City and
either Pocatello or Anaconda. The pros
pects are said to be very bright for the
' successful completion of the plan in the
near future.
Prominent baseball fans of Butte. Boise
: and Salt Lake have begun negotiations
Tilth a view to organizing the league, and
President Lucas, o the Northwestern
League, has been asked to act as organ
izer as well as nresidcnt of the new or
ganization. While he has not accepted
. the Invitation of the intermountain fans.
I is aeriouslv considering; the proposition.
Saturday evening Mr. Lucas and Judge
1 M.Pr.rtie discussed the proposition at
length, and as a result of their meeting
' tt was agreed that Lucas could handla
; the new leajtue in addition to the .Norm
' western clubs.
According to the decision of MeCredie
and Lucas, the latter could make his
' Portland headquarters the central office
of both organizations, and when necessary
' he could tail meetings of the new league
at either Boise or ilt Lake, both of
which points are easily reached from
Portland.
The Butte fans, who are well pleased
at beine rid of Rusg Hall, are exceeding
ly anxious to secure a place in a regular
league. Jack Klannery. Chief of Police
. of Helena and an old baseball player him
self, attended the Seattle meeting last
week to ask recognition for his city, but,
owing1 to previous arrangements, Helena
could not be considered. Ho Is now one
of the movinsr spirits in promoting the
new league. Boise has signified its desire
to have a ball team, and Salt Jake and
Ogden have been hungry for basehall for
several years. Salt Lake and Butte are
among tb best-paying baseball centers
in the West, but unfortunately are sit
uated at such great distances from other
cities of their class as to make a prof
itable alliance with them prohibitive.
However, the plans proposed by Presi
dent Lucas (or the organization of the
ntw league practically assures those
tonus of baseball. According to the pres
ident of the Northwestern League and
the Portland magnate, the new organiza
tion could be perfocted and granted a
class C rating, and could furnish a splen
did article of baseball for that circuit.
The local magnates also look upon it as
an Ideal league which would assist great
ly In promulgating the National sport in
that section of th country.
When asked about the prospects of the
new league yesterday. President Lucas
said:
"The prospects for the organization of
the Intermountain League, which would
be rated as class C. are very bright. I
have been requested to assist in organis
ing the circuit, which is to consist of
Butte. Helena. tlt Lake. Ugilen. Boise
and either Pocatello or Anaconda. As
soon as the Northwestern and Pacific
Coast League matters are adjusted, after
tiie meeting at San Francisco. I believe I
shall accept their proposition. The fans
of that section are hungry for baseball,
and I have the greatest confidence in
such an organization."
In the event that he is successful In in
stalMng bis office this week. President
Lucas will probably pay Salt Lake a visit
immediately after the holidays.
FAKDOM AT RANDOM
JUDGE AV. W. McCREDTK will leave
Portland next Saturday night for
San Francisco, where he is to attend
the Pacific Coast League meeting- to be
held December 21. The judge expects
to get back home for t hristmas. .
Louis Castro, who formerly played for
Portland, and who has been a member
of the Atlanta. Southern League team
fur the past three seasons, has signed
to manage the Macon. Ga.. team in the
South Atlantic League next season.
Pearl Casey has decided to take a
position in McCredies billiard parlors
which the manager offered him several
days ago. The Portland second-hase-nian.
while not a cue expert, delights
in the game and decided to take tiie
job as a means of putting In his time
profitably.
There is a strong possibility that Ike
Butler may handle the 1 acoma team
r.ext season, nltnough Schreeder is
looted as savin that another man was
tinder consideration. Schreeder has all
the lnseba'l material lis needs and
therefore is in no hurry to announce
his manager. Charity Doyle is also
mentioned for the place. Hall seems
to be cut of the runnings
Pres'dent Lucas says that if all ball
players were like Ike Butler the league
would indeed be a model one. Jke has
played two seasons In the Northwestern
' Leagrue without having been fined or
expelled from a game. We hope that
' Bill Hurley will endeavor to emulate
this example.
.
Clark Griffith has finally landed a
job. end now tho Eastern scribes can
dispense with rutting him in charge
, of any other club than Cincinnati. Griff
; has some splendid material in the Clncy
.' squad and if he still possesses his In
i genulty, the Iteds may srive the Cubs,
: Giants and Pirates something to think
f about in 190.
Bobby Carruthers and Ralph Frary
.. will be Northwestern Leapue umpires
next season, and the third man will
! probably he selected from among sev-
eral Portland aspirants whose applica
tions President Lucas has under con
i sideration. Carruthers and Frary have
demonstrated themselves to be capable
men and should be retained.
"Buck" Ort. the outfielder and utility
man who was dratted by Mi-Credie

Ike Butler, the former Portland favorite
who is now . member of the Tacoma

McYey, Prominent In Old Pugilistic
Days, Now Favorite of Paris
lioulevards.
BY W. J. PETRAIN".
Oun esthetic friend T. Burns, or as he
was christened. Noah Brusso, and the
old-time chocolate-colored fall guy for
the heavies in the days when Coibett,
Fitzsimmons and Jeffries were to the
front. Sam McVey, are now occupying
the limelight for the pugilistic fans of
two continents.
The former sojourner within our midst,
Mr. Burns, is holding fortli In Australia
where he has prevailed upon the British
suojects of sporting tendencies to hang
tip a handsome purse for him to meet
one, Arthur (Jack) Johnson, of dusky
hue and ochre courage? and when the
battle is over, the Brusso person will
store away the greater portion of the
gold in his sock, little caring how the
black man fares.
Burns, whose specially has been the
picking off of a few lemons, continues
to select this brand of lighting" men as
his meat. and. judging by Johnson's past
performances, he lonks like an additional
quince for the Brusso collection. How
ever, when It comes to corralling me
mazuma and attaining notoriety. Tommy
has the aurora horealis on the press
agent stunts of Major Burke and Tody
Hamilton. In fact, for a second-rate
heavyweight, and a fairly-good middle
weight, the Brusso lad takes all the
turkey and cranberry sauce when it
coni-s to getting away with easy money.
One feature of the coming Burns-John
son battle is that here In Portland we
will learn all about the Bi-rap something
like 12 hours In advance, by our time,
of Its occurence. The battle Is scheduled
to be Dulled off at Sydney on the morn
ing of December 3j. which should give
us the result somewhere about 11 o'clock
Christinas night. Be careful of your
bets on Christmas day, but perhaps you
won't have any money left on that mo
mentous occasion.
As far as Sam McVey is concerned,
he seems to have made an enormous hit
in gay Paris. Sam Is all the candy in
the French capital, and Is the center of
attraction on the boulevards when he Is
not stripped down to lighting trunks In
the arena. He Is pointed out as Monsieur
McYey, tile champion of the continent.
It Is a mystery how Sam has learned to
behave in tho face of this prosperity,
for coffee and sinkers in 'Frisco looked
like chicken to him on many an oc
casion. Anyhow the colored lad is getting the

than some people imagine, -for he puts
in his spare time teaching the French
man the art of boxing. He

plane of Mike Murphy and Bill Mul

ing for meal tickets will probably mitt
gate against Burns, McYey and others
ever coming home to scrap and perhaps
we are better off.
Baseball Is Quiet.
The baseball situation in California
is at a standstill and will De until
the annual meeting; of the league. At
the present time it looks as if the
league will gather here on December
21, but that depends entirely upon
Presidents Ban Johnson and Harry
Pulliam. who will state Just when
they can arrive. Cal Ewing is anxious
to talk over affairs with the Eastern
officials before Inaugurating a scrap
with the California state league. He
also wants the unqualified backing of
the directors and wishes to explain the
situation fully.
If either of the Portland ball teams
wants a good place to train, Paso
Robles Hot Springs is open to them.
The manager of the hotel. Dr. Sawyer,
stated the other day that It had been
suggested to him that one of the teams
might like to train there, and he said
he would be glad to have them. There
is a good diamond close to the hotel,
and Dr. Sawyer figures that in addi
tion to advertising the resort it would
afford his guests something to occupy
their minds.
The climate is very good in the
Spring of tne year, and the proposition
is certainly worth considering, unless
other plans have been made by the
McCredies.

HEAVY BOUNTY IS REMEDY
Correspondent Asks a Revision '
State Game Laws to Better Pro
tect Wild Animals From Rav
ages of Nature and Mnn.
PORTLAND. Pec. 12. (To the Edi
tor.) For some weeks past I have no
ticed in The Oregonlan the items pro
ana con relating to cougars, goats, an
game protection generally. Being sin
cerely interested in the protection and
preservation of our wild game, permit
me to give my views gained from
study of existing conditions and from
an experience that comes to but few,
First let me state that the greatest
enemies to goats, deer and elk are 'the
bob-cat and cougar. Three years ago
last October I placed on a half-section
ranch 94 registered Angora goats. To
day with the three seasons' increase
have less than 25 left, and the same re
suits came to a lot of graded goats be
longing to a Mr. Johnson, of Scoggin
Valley. These goats were largely
killed by bob-cats which catch a half
grown goat or an old doe. if very hun
gry, in and under the front side of the
throat near or iti the jugular vein and
hang on until the blood is all taken.
When a cougar kills a goat, deer or elk
as a r-ule the dead animal will be found
disemboweled; and of the goats abou
nine out of ten are killed by the bob-cat,
They, also. In the same manner destroy
many. fawn. On the other hand, unles
it is our game laws, made largely by
people wholly unfamiliar with deer and
elk or with their habits, the cougar is
the largest factor in the scarcity and
continuous decrease of deer and elk.
Terrible Toll Exacted.
Few know that a cougar often kills as
high as three deer in one day and tha
a single cougar requires an average of 295
deer per year to satisfy his craving lor
blood. Think, you who wish to protec
our forest game, of the Immensity of the
number; and that a cougar will range
back and forth for a distance of lo miles
and that our state pays no bounty either
on cougar or bob-cats. There Is mounted
In n taxidermist's rjlace on Second street
this city, a small cougar which killed two
full-grown deer just before being killed.
He burled one for future need, lest he
should fail to secure a fresh victim for
the following day. and having taken all
of the blood possible of each he fell an
easy Drey to the dogs.
A cougar in the early morning hours,
before he has eaten, is hard to run down
or tree; but after he has gorged himself
with meat or blood Is easily taken. It
is the prevailing opinion that cougar kill
no elk. This Is a serious mistake. A
cougar Is tod wise to tackle a buck elk
but ho kills many of the cows, in ana
around the meadows on the Qulnlault res
ervation in Washington we found on one
triD the carcasses of six cows killed by
cougar. They do not respect the "closed
season," and will lie for a day or night
crouched on a large limb of a tree over
a trail, or on a log which has a trail
running near it; and if a deer passes
he makes short work or sucn. wiin i
cow elk he is more cautious, and Is care
ful to bound so that he will alight with
the claws of his fore paws imbedded on
either side of the shoulder and his teeth
In the lower part of the back of the neck,
then with the hind claws which he drops
to the flank he makes a few quick passes
which tear open the unprotected skin and
allows the entrals to drop down ana out
tt.( will then bound off to one side ana
follow along cat-like till his victim falls
from loss of blood and exhaustion.
Asks Heavy Bounty.
Thus vou will see that if we wish to
preserve our deer and elk, not to mention
the goats, we must eliminate ine cougar
.,.,.1 hoh-cat and the only manner in
which this can be accomplished is for the
state to give a good liberal bounty; not
f0 which is not the value of a cougar
hide, but JsiO. so It will Decome an oujeci
for hunters to spend weeks if necessary
tn kill a single cougar, and to go to the
expense of keeping good "varmint" dogs
to aid him. Pay at least 10 bounty on
a bob-cat, and S0 on a cougar, ana let
the state require that the whole skin,
bear! and claws be turned in at this
figure. These specimens properly mounted
will bring for the cougar irom w io,
for. rare sizes. $150; and for the bob-cat
from J10 to which would do mucn
towards replenishing the fund. However,
should there be no returns omer Loan
the protection gained, these bounties
should be made worth while. Do this
and correct the game laws, and our
woods wbuld soon again abound with
game.

but that he will head a herd of from 10
to SO cows, and he permits no inter-
I ference unless a larger and more power
ful monarch appears upon" the scene and
such new arrival must then first dem
onstrate his right by "battle royal" and
by completely vanquishing the rival. The
writer has a beautifully mounted speci
man said to be the finest ever taken in
Chehalis County. Washington, of one
of these dethroned nionarchs. vanquished
from the head of his herd on the
tjuiniault reservation, soon after which he
fell a victim to a deadly bullet. This you
will see left the herd still with a male,
but had this monarch been picked off
by a hunter because of his beautiful
antlers, the herd of cows would have
been left possibly for a week or two. or
in some cases for the season, without a
male. In the meantime a portion of the
cows would have gone out of season and
the next year produced no calves.
Advocates Changed Season.
No hunter selects a cow to kill when he
comes upon a herd of elk in the woods;
they all select the leader, which is ever
a fine specimen of a buck with large
spreading antlers and valuable teeth.
Again the "running season" is In a time
of year that the woods are attractive to
hunters, hence more hunt and kill.
Change this to two Winter months, say
December and January, and far less
hunters will venture Into the woods, and
those who do, if they kill a buck elk,
will not only get a good piece of meat
but no barren cows will be left in con
sequence. I believe the Denny pheasant should be
protected for at least three years, and
the committee will do a good work if it
succeeds in having such a law passed.
But let sportsmen advocate a bounty on
bob-cats which will save many young
pheasants both native and Denny, as
well as grouse, quail, goats and fawn;
then a bounty of not less than $o0 on
cougar, eliminate hunting deer or elk in
the "running season," and with Indians
hunting as little as they now do our
fields and forests will soon abound with
game even though we had no game laws.

THINK ROLLER "STALLING"
LOCAL FANS DOUBT SEATTLE
WRESTLER'S SINCERITY.
His Proposal to Throw O'Connell 30
Times In One Hour Regard
ed a 9 Idle Boast,
While the Portland sportsmen have all
kinds of faith in the wrestling ability of
Eddie O'Connell, Instructor of the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club, and would
attend a match between him and Dr.
B. F. Roller, of Seattle, until the biggest
hall in town would be taxed to hold them,
they are not crying to have the match
pulled off. They know that Roller is not
sincere in his boast that he can throw
O'Connell 30 times in one hour as far as
straight wrestling goes. If he could, he
ought to be ashamed to pick on anybody
so small and .weak.
The only thing that Dr. Roller has to tie
his offer oti Is that by his superior
strength and weight, he can cripple
O'Connell, perhaps break a leg or arm
or otherwise use him up, so that he will
have to give up the match and the
money. There Is that possibility in any
match, but it Is not a probability even in
a match between O'Connell and Roller.
Roller has put men out of business be
fore, but they were not men of the sci
ence and experience of O'Connell. Ed
has had over 250 professional matches.
besides training months at a time with
men like Frank Gotch and Fred Been.
Either one Is a worse roughhouser than
Roller and when Eddie gives that know
ing smile and says he knows w-hat he is
about in tackling Roller, the fang have
to take his word for it. Besides, on
"Strangler" Smith's testimony, O Connell
Is not ladylike in his gentleness by a long
way.
There is no betclng, so far, on the
Dw3-er-0'Connell match and , there will
probably be little unless Dwyer makes
some break like Roller did when he
strikes town Wednesday. Michael J. is
not that kind of an advertiser. He
knows O'Connell is a good man. for It
took him 34 minutes to throw Ed. three
times five years ago. when Ed. was only
18 years of age. With his Improvement,
Dwyer knows he will have to extend him
self to cop the $1000 purse. It Is an even
bt, but each wrestler has so much re
spect for the other that he will be wily
about wagering any money. i
O'Connell made his hurried trip to
Corvallls yesterday, where he put 25
wrestlers through their paces of the
first lessons of wrestling. It was a
strenuous day's training for the Instruc-
tor.sfor most of the fellows were from
the football squad and outweighed him
from five to 40 pounds. He rolled them
around until he was weary and then he
Dltted them agalnft one another. He
considers it the best kind of training
n nreparation for Dwyer, who will out
weigh him 20 pounds.
The advance sale or ticKets startea
yesterday. The transfer or the contest
to the Exposition rink will give the
fans a complete run for their money,
because the big pavilion is well lighted
and steam-heated. The gallery alone
