McCredie Lands Breen, and
Graney Will Return.
MAN FOR KEYSTONE SACK
Bren Helped Akron Win Pennant,
nd 1V1II Ho 'Worthy Suwwor
to Pearl Casry John Barnes
Center of Fanning Bee.
Walter McCredie ttas yesterday
formally notified that he would re
eelve the service of Pitcher John Glad
tone Graney for another aeaaon. and
a.Iao that the second baaeman promised
to Portland -would be Yountr Hreen,
xrho played last aeason with the Akron
club of the Ohlo-Pcnnsylvanla League.
The acquisition of Breen causes Alan
srer McCredie to become hla-hly elated.
for he has been worryinir considerably
of late because of there belnif some
doubt of his eventually securing a man
to fill Pearl Casey's shoes In the Paclflo
Coast League. Brern'a record last sea
son shows that he played In 117 games,
tn all of which he officiated at second
base. He batted for an average of .249
and fielded for the neat percentage of
.852. having- played In 20 more games
than his nearest rival. Several players
who participated In but few games
have better percentage marks tnan
Breen. but he was the sensation of
that organization last aeason.
It was due to his showing that Cleve
land drafted him. but as be could
hardly hope to assume the place of
the "peerless" Lajole. President Somera
probably took the youngster to make
rood his promise to the JlcCredles. in
the complied records Breen was second
tn the league In number of stolen bases,
having 38 to his credit. He also scored
63 runs and Is credited with 17 sacri
fice hits. The Akron club won the
championship with a wide margin, and
It was due to the work of Breen and
Pitcher Brackenrldge that this feat
waa accomplished.
The return of Graney will prove wel
come news for the fans, with whom
the gTltty little southpaw had become
prime favorite during the time he
waa with McCredie last season, uraney
Is now with Mike Fisher's All-Americana
In the Orient, but is expected
back home In a few weeks. He will
probably remain In California until re
porting time. The acquisition of these
two players strengthens McCredle's
Coast pitching staff and rounds out his
Infield to a nicety. The Pacific Coast
Infield will now be comprised of Eddie
Kennedy at first base. Breen at sec
ond. Olson at short and Ote Johnson
at third, which combination looks good
to the fans.
John S. Barnes, the veteran baseball
promoter, returned to Portland yester
day morning and announced that he
Intends to locate here, for the time
being, at least. When asked If he was
Interested In baseball conditions at
tho present time, he said that he
thought the game waa "Just about com
ing Into Its own."
"By the way." added the ex-Portland
manager, "I didn't win the first
pennant for Portland, for I had Spo
kane In 1S91 and Glenalvln beat me
out In the laat couple of games. But
the next year I came to Portland and
made such a runaway race of It that
the league almost broke up.

Barnes then commenced fanning with
President Lucas;' and during their con
versation Xlttle" -Willie Mains, who
formerly pitched for Portland was men
tioned. Mains waa a tall, lanky twlrlcr
whose home waa In Maine, and Barnes
tells the following story on him which
President Lucas say has never been
printed:
"A number of years ago I waa man
ager of the St- Paul Club, and during
the Spring training trip we played
game with Tom Loftua Louisville club
at Louisville. Willie Mains was one of
my pitchers, but I was shy a catcher
and borrowed the late Mike Kelly,
probably the greatest backstop the
country ever knew. Mains was a most
sensitive fellow and Kelly would de
light In kidding him. On several oc
casions he got Mains so rattled that he
hardly knew where he was. and one
day the other players told Mains to call
Kelly down good and hard and he
would quit It. and the manner In which
Mains followed their Injunction waa a
cream.
"The game went along about five In
nings and Kelly kept Jollying the lanky
fellow and finally Mains mustered up
courage enough to go after Kelly.
Advancing to the plate Mains threw the
ball at Kelly's feet and announced,
"Nov, gol darn you. Mike Kelly, you're
called.' The game had to be stopped
for several minutes, owing to the con
vulsions of the players and the umpire.
Nothing more ludicrous has ever hap
pened on a ball field."

Works Ont Before Large Crowd at
Multnomah Club Gymnasium.
Rivals to Meet at Equal
Weights In Tonlglifs Bout.
The gymnasium of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club was comfortably
filled with entbusiastio wrestling fans
yesterday who were on hand to witness
the workout of little Johnny Haley, the
123-pound champion wrestler of Chicago
and the Middle West, who Is to meet Ed
gar Frank In an Interclub championship
bout at the Multnomah Club tonight.
The Interest In this match has been
greatly Increased, because it will be the
first match for some time In which Edgar
Frank has been pitted against an oppo
nent of his own weight. In Haley the
Multnomah champion will likely find
foeman worthy of his best efforts, for
the Chicago lad looks the part of an
Ideal wrestler. He possesses a splendid
physique for a man of his size, and In
this respect is on equal terms with Frank,
who Is rated as the best 1115-pound wres
tler on the Pacific Coast. The Multno
mah champion, except at rare Intervals,
has been pitted against wrestlers from
eight to 20 pounds heavier, but neverthe
less be has always made a most credit
able showing. In Haley he expeota to
meet a man who will tax his best ef
forts,, for the young Chlcagoan has met
and defeated all the wrestlers In his
division in the Middle West. Haley Is
a member of the Illinois Athletic Club
and Is said to be the idol of the wrestling
fans of that progressive Institution.
When the young fellow stripped down
to mat togs and wrestled several of the
promising younsgters of the Multnomah
Club In his hustling style, his speed
Impressed those who watched with the
Idea that Edgar Frank will have to work
tonight If he scores over tho visitor.
Haley Is a modest young chap and Is not
boastful In the least, for he says he never
underestimates an opponent and expects
to meet with hard game tonight.
The wrestlers will meet under the reg
ular amateur rules, except there will be
no time limit to each fall, the men being
compelled to wrestle until one or the
other places his opponent's shoulders to
the mat. This Is fair to both contes
tants, for It often happens that a good
amateur wrestler suffers an adverse do
clslon because his opponent has main
tained the upper hold most of tho time
during a limited bout.
The management announces that the
bouts will be started promptly at 8:30
o'clock.
Intimates That Questionable Meth
ods Wore Employed in Xego-
tiating the Deal Value
Is Boosted $27,500.
Mayor Lane yesterday afternoon vetoed
the ordinances passed by. the City Coun
cil, at its last meeting, authorizing th
purcnase of a tract of ground in Sell
wooo. lor park purposes, for J62.500. In
so doing, the Executive declares the nrlcs
to be paid la extravagant and that "there
is also attached to the transaction some
question concerning the methods which
cave been employed in making the sale.
and recommends the condemnation of the
lana, with some more lying near it.
Councilman Wilis, upon whose reoom
mendatlon the Park Board largely de
pended In the purchase, said last night
that he will vote to sustain the Mayor's
veto, so that condemnation proceedings
may be commenced and the ground
.secured for the park as quickly as pos
Bible In the courts.
Wills Will Support Veto.
"It makes absolutely no difference to
me how the land is secured. Just so It is
secured." said Councilman Wills.
will sustain the veto and help to make
possible condemnation proceedings, so
that we may get this park site as
quickly as possible. I am of the opinion.
however, that tho city will not make
much financially by a suit, as I feel that
the property is worth all it was offered
for."
The facts in connection with the case,
as disclosed by official' investigation,
how that the property authorized to be
purchased was formerly owned by the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany, and was sold to W. H. Moorehouse
for the sum of J35.000. Mr. Moorenouse,
therefore, advanced the value over the
price paid by him In the sum of
600. At the time the Park Board recom
mended buying It, Mr. Moorehouse de
clared to the members that he could
sell the property for considerable more
by cutting it up Into lota, but that he
felt he would be doing the city a favor
bv selling It at MOW an acre, and he was
e-Ind to show his patriotism ny so aomg.
Superintendent Mlsche suggested that the
price was a trifle nlgn, dui tur. jioore
house said he would not think of such
thing as reducing the price; mat no
ihn Kocrirtcine his land, and that
the Board could purchase it or not. he
did not care.
Mayor Lane's veto message ioiiowb.
The Mayor's Message.
To the Honorable City Council. Gentle
men: I return mrtwuu
1873S not approved.
This U an ordinance which authorises tne
Mayor and Auditor to purchase a tract of
i., .. . CAiiumnri nontalnlnr 12.41 acres
for park purposes at a price not to exceed
14000 per acre.
in reaneet to this transaction I have to
say that while the land sought to be pur
chased is well adapted for park purposes,
the price to ba paid, 4000 an acre, la seem
ingly much in excess of ita latue.
Thtri la also attached to the transaction
no mo question concerning- the methods which
have been employed to molting mu
which, while it may not be founded upon
facta, yet taken in connection with the price
to be paid, would always cast a suspicion
upon the purchase.
For these reasons 1 woum rBcommoiiu,
If It Is desired to secure a park at this
location, that the .slope of the hillside to
the lowland adjoining, and the point to the
north, and also the site of the resarvolr, be
ncluded In it, and that the entire tracx
be secured by process of condemnation,
which I believe will not only prove to bo
Ira costly, but will likewise free it from
all question concerning the method employed
In Ita acquirement.
I return the ordinance for your .further
consideration. Respectfully,
HAKRY UHFl, Mayor.

ing of the Hetoh-Hetchy and Lake
Eleanor reservoir system In Yosemlte
National Park, before the House com
mittee on public lands today, the evl
deice tended to show that there Is
not sufficient water supply available
for San Francisco and surrounding
cities exoept that of the Sierras.
Warnen Olney, ex-Mayor of Oakland.
said that it would be absolutely Im
possible for the Spring Valley Water
Company, which now supplies San
Francisco, to Increase Its supply to
109,000,000 gallons, as stated by the
company, without going to the water
sheds of the Sierras.
At Mercy of Company.
Mr. Olney said the principal source
of supply for Oakland Is Alameda
Creek and that the Spring Valley Com
pany has rights on this creek that
would, leave Oakland without an ade
quate water supply If used. In ad
dition, he declared, 16,000.000 gallons
Is all that can be obtained from Ala
meda Creek. If the water company
were to take more than this amount
from the creek, he said. It would be en
Joined by the farmers of Pleasant Val
ley, who use this water for irrigation.
Ex-Mayor Phelan, of San Francisco,
explained the situation with reference
to the Bay City Water Company.
John H. Galloway, a civil engineer of
San Francisco, and resident of the
cKy a long time, testified principally
regarding the need for the Hetch
Hetchy supply and the methods by
which the water would be distributed
In San Francisco and the neighboring
cities.
Water Laws Xeed Revision.
Representative MundelL chairman of
the committee, suggested that the wa
ter laws of California were badly In
need of revision.
City Attorney Long, of San Fran
clsco, expressed the opinion that It
would be Impossible for the city to
obtain the Spring Valley Water Com
pany s property through condemnation
proceedings.
The hearing was closed with E. J.
McCutcheon, representing the Spring
Valley Water Company, who reiterated
his belief that ' -e city could get an
adequate supply of water through the
purchase of the water company. Mr.
McCutcheon disputed several of Mr.
Phelan's statements regarding the af
fairs of the water company.
The City of San Francisoo has asked
the Government to grant it the-right
to use the water of Hetch-Hetchy Val-
ey In Tosemlte Park for a municipal
supply and thus avoid the necessity
f buying out the Spring Valley Water
Company at Its own price. Opposition
to the Hetch-Hetchy grant comes not
only from the Spring Valley Company,
but from others, .ho say that con
struction of reservoirs and pipelines
would destroy the beauty of one of the
great National pleasure resorts.
