THE MORNING OKEGOXIAX. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1909. MM ,L LEAGUE MAYGETNEW HEAD Murphy Comes Out in Favor of Ward for Baseball President. HERRMANN BACKS HEYDLER Cincinnati Man, Chairman National Commission, Opposes Ward. Anson "Would Be Candi date it Necessary." NEW YORK. Dec. 10. Charles W. Murphy, president of the Chicago Na tional League Club, arrived In New York today with the announcement that he was in favor of John W. Ward as president of the National League for 1910. Mr. Murphy said that he had nothing against John Ileydler, the present pres ident, but that he considered Ward the right man for the position. Murphy looks for the National League mag nates, -whose meeting is only four days away, to wind up their business quickly. lie thinks that a president will be elected on the first ballot. He denies that Chicago capital va's behind the recent sale of the Philadelphia Na tionals, and says, so far as he knows, the new owners of the Philadelphia clu,b have not pledged themselves to vote for either of the present candi dates Heyd'er or Ward. Murphy and Garry Herrmann, of Cin cinnati, chairman of the national com mission, are the only out-of-town club owners who have arrived. Herrmann Is a strong advocate of the re-election of Heydler and says that his candidate will be retained in oflice. Adrian C. Anson, former manager of the Chicago Nationals, conferred today with Herrmann relative to the chances he had of being selected as a compro mise candidate. Herrmann told him that he would vote for Ileydler even If seven other ballots were cast for Ward, and that the Herrmann-Dreyfus faction of the National League would not consider the question of a compromise candidate. COLLEGES FRAME SCHEDTI-E Conference Leaders Will Arrange for Baseball Series. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Corvallis, Dec. 10. (Special.) Representa tives of all of the Northwest conference colleges will meet at the Oregon Hotel in Portland tomorrow to make up a baseball schedule for the coming season. Director Angellt of Oregon Agricultural College, at whose suggestion the meet ing was 'called, expresses the opinion that the action will advance collegiate baseball more than anything that has been done by -the conference. It . has been the custom In the past for the colleges to work out their schedules in dependently, with the result that there has b!"cn very little intercollegiate base hall. Last year Oregon Agricultural Col lege ajid the University of Oregon played only one conference college on their -local grounds', while the University of Washi ngton did not have a conference team in Seattle. A schedule will in all probability be ar ranged this year which will make it pos sible for each of the six conference col leges to hold a baseball contest on its local field with teams representing each of the other schools. This will give each Institution from five to ten conference games. SELL WOOD DIAMONDS BEATEN Oregon Brigade Staff Wins at Bas ketball by Big Score. Tim basketball team representing the Oregon Brigade staff of the United Boys Brigade of America defeated the Dia monds of Sellwood by the score of 30 to 2.1. Thursday evening at Sellwood. A larger score would have been rolled up if the officers had played In their usual form. The Diamonds were outweighed about 15 pojnds to the man and their op ponents towered head and shoulders above them. The staff had the disadvantage of playing on a poor floor -and one with which thev were unfamiliar. Woolley. playing forward for the Oregon Brigade staff, was unable to find the basket- In the first half, hut In the sec ond half he neored 11 points for his team. The line-up was as follows: . Or.

With House Crowded to Suffocation, Mat and Mitt Artists Go to Finishes. SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 10. (Special.) The Spokane Amateur Athletic Club quartet made a clean sweep of the box ing and wrestling bouts with the lads from the Multnomah Club of Portland before a house packed to suffocation to night. In one instance only was there any material question over the Spokane vic tory, although the Multnomah men com plained over two decisions in one wrest ling event. The Hughes-Tunny 105-pound boxing bout, the stellar event, called for a hairline decision, and it might have been just as well to have asked for a. fourth round. The programme was longer than usual, no less than seven preliminary events preceding the four main "bouts. The last seat was sold before 8 o clock and stand ing room was sold to 200 more. Prob ably better than 1200 persons saw the events, the biggest crowd that ever at tended any function at the club. George Brechin, the club's unbeaten 135-pound wrestler, ran into the hardest game of his career in H. M. Mose, the Portola amateur champion. Brechin scored .a quick fall in the first bout, lift ing his man bodily and hurling him to the floor. The second fall, attained after 13 minutes of superb wrestling, was in the nature of a fluke. Chris Gesek gave away 13 pounds of weight to Ernest Vinson, the Multnomah deaf mute. He had the lead all the way, and worked hard for a fall, but the si lent, shock-haired boy broke hold after hold. Gesek got both falls on aggres siveness. Joe Tunny, formerly of Aberdeen, who won the 105-pound championship at the P. N". A. meet at Seattle last June found the slipperiest little customer Imaginable la "Red" Hughes. Tunny had the ad vantage in age, experience, reach and height, and Hughes earned the little edge shown by the Judges. Donald Numbers was six and a half pounds overweight, and forfeited the medal and the event to the Spokane Club, but Tom Kelly won It easily anyway. Numbers was outclassed. RACERS LOSE INTEREST LISTLESS AND LAGGARD RIDING IX 6-DAY BICYCLE GO. STORY IS SHOCKING Clark Would Refuse to Print White Slave Report. TRAFFIC . IS ON INCREASE Ofrer or $100 to Team Gaining Lap Before Midnight Puts New Life Into CyclUts. NEW YORK. Dec. 10. The fatigue of desperate sprinting in the six-day bicycle race earlier in the week showed itself to day and tonight in listless and laggard riding. From a position at orte time more than 20 miles in advance of the record, the leaders dropped steadily to the rear, and at 10 o'clock tonight were 39.5 miles be hind the mark for the corresponding hour & 3'car ago. At one time this1 afternoon all ten re maining teams of the 19 starters were within one lap of even terms, but the failure of Tawrence, whose weakened knees forced him to quit under the doc tor's orders, and an accident to Pye, -who broke a collar bone in a spill, compelled a retirement. Halstead and Hehlr, the surviving partners, combined as a re constructed team and took the penalty of one lap Imposed by the rules. An offer of J100 to the team gaining a lap before midnight put new life into the riders, and jAndcrson-Vanonl, In a vain effort to steal distance on the leaders, started a sprint that cost the Oeorgct brothers a lap. The same team played a pretty trick an hour later. Vanoni came out to relieve Anderson, apparently, and stayed in the rear while Anderson rode to the front and passed on at a good sprint. Thinking him oft the track, tho field did not pursue, and by the time they had waked up he was around and had turned over to Vanoni. By-this trick the Georget brothers lost another lap, and at 11 o'clock the Bcore was: Rutt-Clark. Root-Fogler, Walthour-Col-lins. Hill-Stein, Anderson-Vanonl, 2264.9; Halstead-Hehir, Lawson-Demara. Mitten West. 2264.8: Georget-Georget, 2264.7. The record for the 119th hour is 2304.7, made by Demara and Hill last year. M'VEIGH DRAWS WITH LONG Seattle Champion Enters Profes sional Ranks at Taeoma. TACOMA. "Wash., Dec. 10. (Special.) Pete McVeigh, the Seattle Athletic Club boxer who holds the amateur champion ship of the Northwest. fought Louie Iiong, the veteran, to a seven-round draw here tonight in his professional debut. McVeign had a shade the better of the mill, but hardly enough to deserve a decision. He did most of the leading and landed the most punches, but prac tically all of them were partially blocked. The match was extended one round in the hope of getting a decision. Lee Croft, of Tacoma. who two years ago won the amateur heavyweight cham pionship of the Pacific Coast, made his first professional appearance tonight, knocking out Ben Knutsen, of Tacoma, in the first mmtte of the first round. Se attle and Tacoma fight fans jpacked Ger mania Hall, where the bouts were staged by the Ruston Athletic Club. Twenty Rounds Go to Draw. SACRAMENTO. Cal., Dec 10. In a tame bout tonight Jack Sullivan, of Fall River. Mass.. and Indian Joe Gregg, of Spokane, fought 20 rounds to a draw. Commssion Includes Portland in Pa cific Coast Cities as Point of . Entry for Women Who Are Brought From Orient. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. All but in credibly revolting are- disclosures of an International system of traffic in both the enforced and voluntary degradation of men and women- contained in the re port on the so-called "white slave" trade submitted to Congress today by the Uni ted States Immigration Commission. Shocking as is the tale of voluntary shame told in the report. Immensely more so is the setting forth of well-attested" facts as to the compulsory consignment of innocent Immigrant girls to an immoral life. - Much of the Bubject matter of today's report was covered by the Commission in its 1400-page preliminary report pub lished and widely discussed a year ago. Today's report Is briefer. Containing only 60 pages, and a large part of it is un suitable for newspaper publication. Clark Objects to Printing. When the report was presented In the House today by Congressman Bennett, of New York. Champ Clark, minority leader, objected to Its being printed as a House document, but later withdrew his objec tion. The Commission says that the effect of the importation of immoral women into this country is one of increased degrada tion and death of the women and of con tamination by disease for those with whom thev come into contact. The Commission says the immoral traf fic is not confined entirely to women, but H is clear there is a beginning, at any rate, of a traffic in men and boys for immoral purposes. "The vilest practices," the report con tinues, "are brought here from Conti nental Europe and, beyond doubt, there has come from imported women and their men the most bestial refinements of depravity." The committee, in describing the man ner of its investigations, recounts the ex periences of many of its agents. In some cases they were attacked and beaten, and actual murder was narrowly averted. No statistics are given In the report, though the extent of the "white slave traffic" is characterized as country wide. Most of the women, it Is said, come by the way of New York, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, although many are coming lately by way of Can ada. Frequently they are brought into the United States as the wives or sis ters of their procurers in order to pass the Immigration officials. Condition of Victim Pitiful, The exploitation of these women, after their arrival In the United States, is characterized In the report as "most pit iful for the women and most brutal on the part of the men. . Not only the Inno cent and betrayed young girls, but also the more experienced women are made the victims of" virtual slavery." The Importations come from all coun tries, France leading and the Chinese and Japanese making up the majority of those coming in by the way of the Pacific Coast. Most of the procurers are of for eign birth. The "market" pries varies from toOO to J1000 for each alien woman. Sometimes they are sold outright, but their procurers continue to live from their earnings after their arrival here. Plan of Campaign Outlined. The commission recommends that ef forts be made through Government agents abroad and on board steamships to pre vent the importation of women to this country; that more assiduous efforts be made in the United States to arrest wom en known to be engaged in immoral prac tices, and to deport all possible; that the limit of three years after landing within which such persons may be successfully prosecuted be removed; that any deported person returning to this country be im prisoned; that keepers of immoral houses in which alien women are found be sub ject to deportation, and that state and municipal governments be urged to co operate in stamping out the evil.

M. daily, after the arrival of the train from Portland, thus cutting out the delay at Weed of 21 hours. This change would bring passen gers into this city at 9:30 P.

Born and Raised In Southern State, Jockey Bennett Was Not Used to Ileal Snow Underfoot. While most of the citizens of Portland gladly welcome, the departure of the snow and slush, there is one little chap here who sincerely regrets the "chlnook" which caused the banishment of the fleecy stuff. This is Jockey Bennett, the clever little California boxer who Is to appear before the Oregon Athletic Club in a match with Jimmy Carroll, ' of Oakland, on December 21, for Bennett, being a native Californlan, and hailing from the southern part of the golden state, had never seen snow except on mountain tops and from a distance before. . During the period when the snow was falling and the east wind blowing coldly, "Jockey" Bennett kept up his training stunts . and went on the road for runs each day despite the drifts and cold wind. He seemed to like it and would not think of calling oft his stunts for any thing: Bennett recently appeared before the Rose City Club In an exhibition bout with Freddie Couture, and his showing at that time was so good that the Oregon Ath letic Club Immediately decided he would be acceptable as one of the principals In the card this club plans to 'stage one week from next Tuesday. Jimmy Carroll, one of the cleverest little men In California, comes north as his opponent. Carroll en- The Home Furnished Complete TUILIL (GIBBS, floe.

Each Team to Play Equal Number of Games With Each' Other and Champion Named. E. D. Angell, manager of athletics at the Oregon Agricultural College, came to Portland last night to prepare for the baseball conference among the managers of the six Northwestern conference col leges. The other delegates are as fol lows: Victor Zednick. University of Washington; John Jones, Washington State College; H. G. Walker, University of Idaho; B. Jamieson. University of Ore gon, and H. Davenny, Whitman College, all of whom will reach Portland this mornLng. This afternoon the conference will meet at the Oregon Hotel, where the iproposi tion of arranging . an intercollegiate se ries of baseball games during the coming season will be discussed and undoubtedly adopted. The object Is to adopt a base ball schedule which will provide for an equal number of games to be played be tween each two of the conference insti tutions. This will permit of a champion ship decision on a percentage basis, such as Is done among professional leagues. In the past the championships in base ball have rarely been definitely settled, because of the failure to schedule games between rival claimants. Corporation Articles Filed. SALEM, Or.. Dec. 10.
