PACIFIC U FAILS TO SCORE 'POINT Chemawa Indians Hold Colleg ians in 0-0 Football Game. WET FIELD IS THE CAUSE Both Teams Play Fast Ball on For est Grove Field Two Men Are Taken From Game, Suffcr ! lng From Bad Iu juries. FOREST GROVE. Or.. Nov. 17. Ope clai.) On a. field covered with mud and water to such depth that forward passes and lonx end runs were an Impossibility, the Chemawa Indiana and Pacific Uni , versity struggled for two 25-minute halves '-without either side being able to score on the local gridiron this afternoon. Each tim relied lareely on line plunging, Dotn packflelds tearing great holes in their opponent's line. During the first part of the game' the . honors were about even, but in the sec, ' ond half the varsity rallied and carried the ball to the Indian's 35-yard line only to mies a place kick by a small margin. The business houses of the city closed during the game and enthusiasm was at a high pitch. A larger crown man ever before seen on .the local Held was in attendance. x Pacific kicked off and the Indians re turned the ball t their 30-yard line and punted. Bryant, of Pacific, got away for an lS-yard-run. Chemawa held, and Pacific attempted an onside kick, which failed. A punting duel, in which the kickers were greatly handicapped by the wet ball and muddy npld, followed, with nonor aDOUt even. Toward the end of the half the In dians recovered a punt and time' was called with the ball In Cheraawa's pos session on the collegian's 30-yard line. After receiving the kickoff. in the sec ond half, the locals worked the ball to the center of the field. Gwynn, of Paci lie University, gained 15 yards around Chemawa's left end, after which Pacific punted. The Indians returned the kick and the collegians attempted a place kick from the 35-yard line, which fell short. The game ended with Pacific's ball on Chemawa's 40-yard line. Score Chemawa, 0; Pacific "U," 0. During the second half and on the same down. Captain Smoker, right end for the Indians, and Mayfield. Pacific's right tackle, were compelled to leave the game, Mayfield with ,a broken collarbone, and Smoker with his left arm fractured above the elbow. The absence of Mayfield from the var sity lineup In the game with Willamette University on Thanksginving. day will prove a serious loss. The teams lined up as follows: rhmawi. Position. Pacific.

Ferrin FOOTBALL GAME TOMORROW Washington High and Colombia Will Play for Championship. The Washington High School and Co rumbla University football teams will battle for the championship of the In terscholastlc League of 1909 tomorrow afternoon on Multnomah Field at 3 o'clock. This game will be the grand climax of the season for the prep school league and it is expected a record-breaking crowd of student fans and others will be present. It Is conceded that the game will be close fe.nd that either team will be put to a. great test to score at all. The Washington team Is composed mostly of players who were on the squad last year, and. having played together tnore than their opponents, they are cap able of working with more machine-like precision and in ability to advance the ball on straight football they have it over the Catholic lads to a considerable extent. The high school boys have weight and are fast. Cornell, their quarter, is the pick of the league. CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST TODAY Euckman and Eliot Grammar School Squads to 'Meet. , The Buckman and Eliot grammar echools football teams will line up this afternoon at 4 o'clock on Multnomah Field for the championship game in the middle-weight 'section of the school league. This will be the final game for the cup in the middleweight division. Comparing previous scores, Eliot should win the game by a handsome margaln. Eliot won over Creston and Stephens by 21 to 0. and 20 to 0. while the scores made by Buckman against the same schools were 10 to 0 and 6 to 0. Eliot has a fast bunch of players, but the team has been weakened by the loss of some of its best men who toere taken out of the team because they were neg lecting their studies. The first game of the "heavyweight di vision will alto be played this afternoon at East Twelfth and East Davis streets, between Montavilla and Highland. The Highland aggregation has finally produced a team, although two or three of the squad will not play, on account of pa rental objection. The heavyweight teams will play for two wins out of three. OUTLAW LEAGUE FAVORED (Continued From First Page.) As president of this club and a director In the league, Fll make a motion when ever a meeting is called to vote our en tire reserve fund of over $15,000 to Judge McCredle, to use as he sees- fit to fight the Californlans In Portland. "I'll go even stronger." If Judge Mc Credle needs more than $15,000, I'll guar antee that we will raise JCO.ftOO yes 1:3. nOO for him. We've got better than $15, 000 In our reserve fund right now. In cluding the $1000 deposit from each club and the 'profits frora the 10 per cent turned over to President Lucas. The Northwestern League has been laying up money the last few years. Just thinking that something like tills might come up. "If the powers that be turn down our request to operate as Class B league In Portland: then, I'm for taking the bit In our teeth and fighting " in the outlaw manner." VANCOUVER WANTS PORTLAND Movement "Toward Outlawry Is .In dorsed by Prospective Buyers. VANCOUVER. B. C. Nov. 17. Spe cial.) A. R. Dickson, manager of the Vancouver baseball team, is In Water vilTe. Wash., but 'his ' close baseball 'friends here have heard from him de otdedly as to his opinion on the subject of keeping Portland In tire circuit. He states emphaticaly that he want Portland, and If In control of the local team next- year, he will go to outlaw If necessary to gain the- point. He looks at an outlaw league In a rosy light, in view of the experiences of the California outlaws. It is also known that the company ne gotiating for the Vancouver club fran chise takes the same stand for Portland as does Dickson. 51'CREDIE TALKING GUARDEDLY First Thoughts Against Outlawry. Holiday Schedule Announced. , SAN FRANCISCO. 'Nov. 17. (Special.) Stories from the Northwest indicating that the Pacific Northwest -League might turn outlaw because of .the refusal of the Coasters to allow a team in Port land, have set the California magnates fighting mad. They, do not expect that there will be a war, but say that If there is they will be ready for It. 'Judge McCredie. who left tonight for the Northwest, made no declaration as to what he would do. Although still dis appointed because he had freen refused "the permission that he was seeking, the Portland magnate had cooled off and went so far as to state thatie did not favor outltw baseball. , Henry Berry, of the Los Angeles club, in an interview given out yesterday, said that If the Northern people turn outlaw, ha wilt favor claiming not only Portland, but - Seattle and Spokane as well, thus malting an eight-club circuit. . Although the baseball' schedule of the Coast League Is yet to be adopted In Its entirety by the directors, it Is practi cally acceptable to the men concerned and data as regards the opening and closing dates and the holiday games was made public yesterday afternoon by Secretary D. W. Long. It has not been decided whether the season will open on a Tuesday or Wednesday, so that It is declared that the season will open either March 29 or SO. and will close November 6, which will make 32 weeks In all. The following holiday schedule of cames- for the 1910 season was an nounced today by Secretary Long, of the Pacific Coast League: Decoration day. May .10 Sacramento at Portland. s Angeles at San Francisco, Oak land at Vernon. Independence day, July 4 Vernon at Port lend. San Francisco at Oakland, Sacramento at Los Angeles. Labor day, September 6 Lob Angeles at Portland. Sacramento at Oakland, San Fran cisco at Lob Antelea. rlBcovery day, October 12 San Francisco at Oakland, Sacramento at Vernon. Los An geles at Portland. The Portland team will open the home season Aprils 19, against Oakland. SHREEDER MAY QUIT, HE SAYS Tacoma Magnate Finds Himself in Peculiar Position. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 17. Although he leans strongly towards outlaw ball as a result of the action of the Coast League In refusing to sell the Portland franchise and barring the Northwestern League from that city, George Shree der, owner of the Tacoma baseball franchise, Is not ready . to come out squarely for a break with organized baseball. Shreeder Is In a peculiar position.- He would like to go outlaw, but can't see his way clear. He Is the-only magnate in the Northwestern League who owns a plant, and a valuable one at that, and he realizes that he might have an ele phant on his hands If the" league de clared for outlaw ball. He also real izes that It costs more money to run an outlaw team, and that he Is not finan cially able to bear the burden, consid ering the many seasons he has operated at a loss. . "Until I hear more definitely as to Judge McCredie's position I don't care to make any comment," said Shreeder tonisrh-t. "You can say, however, that I am through with baseball if the North western League is robbed of Portland. Portland Is necessary to the success or the Northwestern League. You can see that they have me pocketed, and the only escape for me personally is to quit the game." DUGDALE'S ATTITUDE KNOWN Seattle Fans Agree With Manager Day of Outlaw Bajl Is Near. SEATTLE Wash.. Nov. 17. (Spe cial.) D. E. Dugdale, president and principal owner of the Seattle Daseoaii club, is traveling in the South after 1 recent meeting or the jsationai Associa tion and no word from him as to ac tion of the Coast League has reached either business partners or his friends. At the same time, he is known, to be ready to stand with Judge McCredle for a better deal from Jthe Coast League. I and there is little dobt that he will favor outlaw ball for the Pacific North west unlesss Portland Is allowed a club In the Northwestern League. Sentiment generally In Seattle among tans and business men is that there shall be- no truckling to J. Cal Ewing, and it is felt that matters have come to sucn a- pass that outlaw ball Is Inevitable. To his close friends Dugdale has said repeatedly that the Coast Leag-ute is forcing Northwest Into outlaw ranks. While he Is not epenly an advocate of outlaw ball. It can be stated that Dug dale" is ready to go outlaw should he and McCredle agree. ,' ALL RESTS WITH M'CREDIE McFarlane, of Aberdeen, Would Not t Be Outlaw Alone. i SEATTLE. .Nov. 17. (Special.) A dis patch from -President MacFarlane, of the, Aberdeen Baseball Association, says he is in favor -of outlaw ball for the North western League if McCredie sticks by the Northwest and drops the Coast League. In his opinion the situation is up to the Portland man. "While I realize that outlaw ball will be mora expensive and uncertain," he said, "still I believe that If we go Into it we will win eventually and thus settle the status of the Portland franchise for all time. In the event trfat McCredle elects to stay with the toasters I am certainly not In favor of going outlaw and playing a team in that city. In the latter event some new city must be looked for and added to the circuit. We have no fight on McCredle; only on the Coa9t League, which is trying to claim territory that rightfully belongs to hs. I do not believe that In the event that McCredie drops the Coast the latter or ganization can find any man who will finance or manage , a team in Portland for any length of time." BERRY WILL SPEND $125,000 Los Angeles Club Owner Has $50- 000 to Put Into Portland. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 17. Henry Berry, proprietor of the Cpast League baseball club at Los Angeles, stated today that he would invest $125,000 lfl Northern franchises If the Northwest ern League became an outlaw organiz ation. Berry said that he would "pay $50,000 for a Portland franchise; $50,000 for Seattle and $25,000 for Spokane, and fight the "outlaws" to a finish.

J- FETRAIN. Let the Northwestern League go out law, for that is the only way It can get a square deal from the- authorities ot the National Association of Profes sional Baseball Leagues, who have never been able to see any other light in baseball but the hoggish magnates of California. Such is the opinion uni versally expressed by the faas of Port land, most of whom use extremely strong language in expresing their dis approval of the "turning down" of Judge W. W. McCredie, Congressman elect, at the Pacific Coast League meet ing Tuesday. The Pacific Coast League voted to reT fuse McCredle permission to conduct a Northwestern League team in Portland, yet at the same time it sanctioned Ven non, a town of only li'5 persons all told, on the same basis as Portland with 200.000 persons, Not only did the Pa cific Coast League extend the class A privilege to Vernon, but It also sanc tioned continuous baseball for Sacra mento, a town of no distinction and which last season received more money twice over for one week's playing here than Walter McCredie received all sea son there. Furthermore, Charley Gra ham, representative of "Sacramento, at best a bush -league town, voted against permitting Portland to have the privi lege of two teams when that placej was accorded the privilege. Portland Fans Ireful. In the' face of these facts the fans of this city are Indignant. Judge McCre die and his nephew, Walter, have done more for baseball on the Pacific Coast than the whole collection of alleged magnates In California ever did. They have given Portland the best brand of baseball It ever had, and axe entitled to have two clubs here If they -want It, and the Pacific Coast League says no, but sanctions two teams. fr Sacra mento. Never was a more outrageous deal in baseball consummated, and"-the fans of Portland realize this. Outlawry in the baseball sense of the term Is openly advocated by influential fans of this city. They do not hesitate to express their opinion of the Califor nlans. and practically- every man seen was ready to guarantee Judge McCredle financial as -well as moral support if he sees fit to cast off the California yoke. Other Northwestern League magnates are also talking of going outlaw. Whether Judge MsCredie will fall in line with this policy or not remains to be seen, but from the tact that he has recently been elected to Congress from a district In the State of Washington which comprises two cities of the Northwestern League, It would appear that he, might tell the Californians ,to put a team of their own In Portland if they dare. ' and cast his lot with the logical league. New Park Hard to Get. The Californians. in order to play in Portland, would be compelled to secure a new site. Judge McCredle 'has -been hunting for one for years, and what he could not find in' that length of tlime. the, Coasters would hardly be able to do in a few weeks. Then again, if Cal Ewing and his friends are willing to put a team in Portland, It will cost them close to $100,000 to mjild a ball park and meet the incidentals required to promote their league.- On top of -this they will have to contend against one of the best ball clubs m the business, for the McCredies can draw on ttte finest talent In the country as outlaws, and many of them would be delighted to pla in Portland. The McCredies, having the established park and therefore under no expense ex cept the signing of players, would be able to hire the best men available, for Port land is such a good baseball town that high salaries could be paid. The overr bearing rule of the California moguls has been stood for long enough. Let us kick Cal Ewing. ' Danny Long and their associates out of Portland and refuse to countenance the czar-like rule of the five-to-one any longer. Portland is a better ball town than any of - them, and ought to have some say in league mat ters. This is. Impossible Where there is not a chance for an "even break." m Fans Call It "Outrage." That the Portland fans object to the manner in which Portland has been treat ed Is evidenced by the following inter views: Dan J. Malarkcy We have bad enough of this arrogant California rule. Portland must have a square deal and I hope Mc Credle will take hl club away from that gang and I give ua Northwestern League ball, if it hasto bs "outlaw." George L. Hutchln It is the most Jiigh handed piece of business I have ever heard of. The idea of a little Jerkwater village like Vernon having equal privileges with Portland, and the town of Sacramento, not one-third Portland's .sire, allowed to have continuous baseball. It is an outrage and Portland should not stand for it a soli tary minute. I say, go outlaw and trim the Californians. John C. McCue I don't believe Port land should tolerate the arrogance of the Californians any longer. It la a shame to permit a bunch -of soreheads to turn down a town of Portland's size and well-known enthusiasm' in baseball affairs, I am heartily in favor of having "Portland go "outlaw." as they call it. for T do not see where we can get a square" deal while, af filiated with the Pacific Coast League. Thomas B. Neuhausen Portland has suf fered enough at the hands of the Cali fornians, for the. very idea of allowing a town like Vernon, which has no more than 115 population, the same baseball privileges as this town Is ludicrous. I do not-favor continuous baseball as a rule, but If Han Francisco, tos Angeles and. sbove all. Sec ramento. can have It, - Portland la more than ever entitled to equal privileges. Herbert Greenland Let the McCredies by all means go outlaw. The' actions of the Pacific Coast', League Is the most high handed and outrageous baseball transac tion I haw ever heard, of. It simply means that Portland can never expect to get any where near a square deal, at the hands of the Coasters, and demonstrates that Mc Credle was right in everything h-a said about Ewing and that outfit. Time Here to Fight Back. Edward J- Daley It seems to me that It Is about time for the McCredies and Port land to wake up and fight back. Portland has had the worst of nearly every deal It has been concerned In. as far ua baseball is concerned, and the sooner the yoke is cast off the better we will be off as far as the National game is concerned. Charles A. Petrain It appears to me that the proposition is a Job whereby McCredle Is expected to 'toss off the Coast League, and the latter will then forfeit his franchise and enter Portland on Its' own hook. I , think McCredle should protect himself be-for- ho takes the Jeap. . William Goldman I do not think it is advisable to go outlaw; at least not now. There are several matters of Importance to be conMdered and to go outlaw might be an ill-advised step. I would have the Mc Credies use caution before doing anything rash. Thomas MoGulre It is about time the j . '. I J?l THE MAN IC- C ryJwHoowNsltY - FRANK CRIGGS SEVENTH & OAK STS. PHONES MAIN 4542, A J 127. McCredies were waking up. They have never Tiad a square deal since they have been in the league, and a change would not do any harm. It might do good, and anything is better than gettJirg it rubbed.in continually by flve-to-one. - rr. James C Zan I hav enjoyed- the brand of baseball supplied by the Pacific Coast League immensely, and I hate to an ticipate anything in the nature of a change. Still, I do not believe that Judge McCredie has been used fairly, and if he thinks the '"outlaw" game the best, -I believe he will be the best judge. M. J- Roche The rule or ruin policy of the Pacific Coast league has always been objectionable to me. and. while 1 think Judge McCredie Is thoroughly competent to deal with the situation as he sees fit, I would do fn favor- of the Northwestern League tossing off the yoke of organized baseball, for the only leagues that have been favored by the association are the ones that have been outlaw. TV. W. Robinson Lt. ushave-good base ball ts all 1 ak, and if we can't get a square deal from the Californians, let us get it otherwise. I don't think McCredie was treated fairly at all Treatment Called Unfair. Fred Bundschu Let us by all means go outlaw and get a run 'for our money. The Coasters have never treated us fairly, and now let us see If we cannot get a league of our own that will. Charles A. Malarkey Why should we cater to the California end of the league all of the time?" I don't see why Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Aberdeen and Vancouver cannot ' form as nice a league as anyone would care to have, and pay just as good money as the Californlana do. Let's go out law. Jack Grant I believe that the fans of Portland owe it to the McCredies to sup port them in any proposition they might make, for they have given Portland better baseball than It ever had before. If Judg$ McCredie electa to go outlaw, I am with him heart and soul for I believe him to be right in his fight against the -Californians. Forrest C. Smith son I think the action of the Pacific Coast League magnates have have treated Portland unfairly, and yet it may be a job to get the McCredies to aban don te franchise to the Californians. I like baseball, and hope that the McCredies will succeed in anything they undertake, whether It is outlaw or the other brand. Jack O'Connor The "outlaws" for me. They are the only onss who derive any good out of organized baseball anyway. By all means let um have outlaw ball and get rid of "flve-to-one" clique. Eddie Diedrich Nobody ever go$ anything but the worst of it out of affiliation with organised baseball, anyway, and I believe McCredle should go outlaw, fit ill, this deal may be a job to get him to forfeit his fran chise, and unless he can pave the way so he will not be' the goat, 1 think he had better remain quiet. "Doc" Anderson Let's get rid of the Cali fornia outfit and go outlaw if necessary, for Ve can get much better players than ever that way. We've had too much of Ewing, Long, "Kid" Mahler and that bunch, any way: - A change will do us good. Joe Hochfeld I look at the matter very much as do Eddie Dei t rich and Doc Ander son. It Is not worth while to take the worst of it-alT.'aya Outlawry Is Beat Way. Harry Howland Let's tie a' can to the California outfit and get a new deal, whether it is outlaw or otherwise. Still, the outlaws seem to get all the best of it, end I think that is the best way after all. Will G. MacRae Charley Graham must have had a supreme nerve to vote against Portland having continuous baseball, when his own jerkwater burg is to get it. As to the outlaw proposition, 'I don't care to discuss it at present. George Ryan Tod" much is plenty, and we've had too much of the California outfit. Let's have a change. Harry White---PortIand is making a mis take if It passes up this latest piece of Junk handed us. Five to one is not a fair propo sition, anyhow, and let us go where we can get "an even break. "Doc" Patterson I have always been In favor of anything that would give Port land an even break in baseball. We don't get it in the Pacific Coast League, so let us go outlaw If that is the only way to accom plish it. Tony Bianci Outlaw ball for mine. We have had too much of this California rule to suit me. I like to see good, clean base ball, and while the variety we have had has been good enough, we have not had an even break. , John J. Fclerf1 I like good, clean basebalr. and the brand has been good in the Coast League, but I don't think Portland had an even break, so am inclined to favor a change. The idea of putting Vernon on a piano with Portland is someOiing I cannot understand. Furthermore it fs not fair; so let us have a Chang. Frank Beatty Portland naturally belongs in the Northwetsern League, and since Mc Credie got the hook at San Francisco, he ought to get from under and affiliate with the other fellows i they are willing to go outlaw. Support Promised to McCredle. J. E. Cullison I do not favor the con tinuance of Portland tindeV the notably un fair policies of the Pacific Coast League. If Judge McCredie decides to go outlaw, I chali support him. George J.. Bills Let Portland join a Northwestern outlaw organization, for it is tJie onlj solution of the problem of getting a square deal.' It 'is too good a town to be passed up always. Dan Delehanty "All for one and yne for all" Is the California motto, and tn this re spect Portland Is on the outside looking in. If the Northwestern League can get Dug in line we ought to have a great league as an outlaw 'organization. Mark Stryker Let's kick the Ewing crowd out. We don't need them at all, and can get along very well without them. Henry D. Griffin At last the fans of Port land seem to be wakening to the situation. Outlaw leagues get all the best of it, any way, and we can have a ' better outlaw league than any of them ever was, for this circuit can pay big money to get players. Clayton -Fallai I think Portland has been treated unjustly by the pacific Coast League, and in view of past performances of similar import, I believe the McCredies will be wise to juit that aggregation. , Frank Ohadbourne Nothing to It now but an outlaw league. We should not stand for having the gaff thrown into us all of the time, and that Is the best we can expect from the A.llfrnlans. Arthur Cavill It seems to me that port land has not been treated exactly right, and in view of this aspect of the baseball situa tion, I should think the McCredies would be the interested parties and that whatever they decide should meet Dnith the approval of the Portland fans. . - W. T. Pangle I have always been an ardent Coast, League fan, iut this action of the league is the limit. "It Portland can't get a square deal otherwise, let us have an outlaw league and give Ewing and his out fit a taste of thelrown medicine. Bender Saves Day After All. SAN" FRANCISCO, Nov. 1 7.
