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

Indians, and Mayfield. Pacific's right

Mayfield with ,a broken collarbone, and
Smoker with his left arm fractured above

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

In the league, Fll make a motion when
ever a meeting is called to vote our en

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.

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

VANCOUVER WANTS PORTLAND
Movement "Toward Outlawry Is .In
dorsed by Prospective Buyers.
VANCOUVER. B. C. Nov. 17. Spe

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

It is also known that the company ne

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

INDIGNATION - RUNS HIGH
McCredie Considered to Have Been
So Badly Treated That He Cannot
in Justice to Himself Continue
With the Coast League. :
BY W. 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.

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

hits, which resulted In ten runs, four
more than enough to win the game.

off thcinvlncible Backus, but obtained
their six runs in the first four innings.

Get Line on O. A. C. Players.
" X large ;number of Portland football
fans "will go to Eugene Friday to see the
annual football game between the Univer
sity of Oregon and the, Oregon Agricul
tural College elevens.
To add to thii interest in the Eugene
CorvalliB game tomorrow, it is generally
believed that Carl Wolff, the famous
punter of the Oregon Agricultural College,
will be in the game to compete with Dud
ley Clark for the punting honors. Wolff
has so far not played,, a game with the
''VAggie.' but he is Said to have been
kept in the background to save him for
the Oregon game, as O. A. C. would rath
er lose all ot the season's- games if only
to defeat Oregon.
-At Eugene they are expecting the Ag
gies to play Woiff, and if he appears on
the field tomorrow the Oregon boys will
not be surprised.
As JJiere Is no football game here Sat
urday, a number of members of the Jfult
nomah Aniateu Athletic C'liib eleven will
