still talking. The American lague met
today, transacted its business with" dis
patch and adjourned until next year, but
the senior organization, deadlocked over
the selection of a president, talked for
two hours and then adjourned until 11:30
o'clock tomorrow.
The business got as far as the election
of officers, but no further. The situation
with regard to the National League pres
idency remains unchanged. John M.
Ward commands four votes; John A.
Heydler, president incumbent, commands
three votes and one club owner, Robin
son, Bt. LiOuis, refuses to say for whom
he will vote.
AVards Supporters Firm.
Although it is predicted that he will
vote for Heydler, there seems to be no
weakening in the ranks of the men
against Heydler. Charles H. Ebbetts,
president of the Brooklyn Club, reiterated
positively that he never would vote for
Heydler; Barney Dreyfuss, 'president of
the Pittsburg Club, said he would remain
here until next Spring it necessary to
land Heydler on the job. John M. Ward,
he added, had no chance at all. and
Robison had told him, Dreyfuss said, that
while he had not pledged himself for
f Heydler, he never would vote for Ward.
Four Votes Not Elective.
Dreyfuss has consulted . attorneys to
ascertain what will happen in case Ward
secures four votes and Headier three,
with Robison declining to vote. He was
told that, under the laws of this state,
the four votes would not elect Ward, all
of which seems to indicate that the Na
tional League has a big powwow ahead
of it before a decision is reached. A
compromise candidate who may or may
not be Ned Hanlon, former owner of the
Baltimore Club, may be chosen.
With the presidential sltuatjFm unde
cided, the National League magnates, of
necessity, confined themselves to routine
matters today. Horace Fogel. represent
ing the new owners of the Philadelphia
dub, was admitted to the meeting, but
many clubowners were not satisfied with
his assertion that Charles W. Murphy,
of Chicago, and Charles P. Taft, of Cin
cinnati, are not the new purchasers.
The. new cluo was admitted to member
ship, and Fopel named himself president;
Frank B. Klliot. vice-president; Morris
Sohreck, secretary-treasurer, and I.
Schwartz and W. Conway, directors. '
The claim of the New York Club own
ers against the Philadelphia Club for
damages for a forfeited game at the
pojo grounds October 4 was referred to
the new owners, as was William J. Mur
ray's two-year contract with the old
Philadelphia corporation. President Heyd
ler announced that players Moran, Dollin
and Knabe. lined for their conduct in the
game October 4. would be ineligible to
play in the National League until the
fines were paid.
The committee appointed in Louisville
last August toi arrange for the erection
of a monument over the grave of Harry
' Pulliam, former president of the National
League, reported that Mr. Pulliam's fam
ily already had erected a monument.
Pulliam's Sister Aided.
The league decided to bestow a lump
aum, not specified, on an Invalid staler
of the late president, and to give her the
interest on $5000 In her lifetime.
'Heydler submitted his annual report,
in which he deplored the many protests
of games. He argued that clubowners
should show the same consideration to
umpires that they do to players who loss
games.
Behavior of players on the diamond last
season was better than ever, says Heyd
ler. Receipts of National League clubs last
season were 100 per cent more than in
1P03, the first year in which the National
and American League worked in har
mony. The American League meeting recom
mended the adoption of a schedule of
164 games for next season.
Joe 'Cantillon. former manager of the
Washington Club, was exonerated of a
charge of disloyalty to the league.
The clubowners passed upon the ques
tion of wearing spikes to President John
eon and Charles Comiskey, with power
to act for the league.
Summers Named Again.
Charles Summers, of Cleveland, was
unanimously re-elected vice-president of
the league. The next meeting will be held
In Chicago in February.
The Boston National League Club un
conditionally released Catcher Alshaw.
The Bt. Louis Americans will release
Second Baseman Williams to Minneap
olis if they can get waivers on him. Will
lams is destined to manage the St. Joseph
1ub if he gets a Western Leaue fran
chise next season, as it is Joe Cantillon's
intention, it Is said, to buy the Pueblo
franchise and transfer It to St. Joseph.
The Cincinnati Club sold Catcher Frank
Roth to Minneapolis and Third Base
man Dolan and Pitcher Lower to Den
ver. The Baseball Writers' Association of
America yesterday re-elected all officers.

Most important of any so far this sea
son will be the issue in Saturday after
noon's association football game. in
which M. A. A. C. and the Portland
Cricketers will line up at 2:30 o'clock on
the Vaughn-street baseball grounds. The
Cricketers, unbeaten this Fall, are tied
with Queen's Park for first place in the
City League, and if theywin from Mult
nomah will practically have put the lat
ter" team out of the runnfhg for the cup
and the state championship. If the
Cricketers lose, the remaining- six weeks
may see the trophy go to any of the
teams.
The Cricketers will have their strongest
team, except for the absence of Coppinger
at outside right. Curiously enough, how
ever, this loss is exactly counterbalanced
J by an injury to Kydd, Multnomah's out
side rigm, wncr nas -ueen out ei tue gaine

Oregon Athletic Club's Matches Next
Week Promise Some Clever
Boxing by Youngsters.
"Jockey" Bennett, who is to appear
before the Oregon Athletic Club Decem
ber 21, seems to be even better than
when he appeared recently In an -exhibition
with Freddie Couture before
the Rose City Club. He boxed with, a
middleweight the other day. and as he
weighs only 115 pounds. Ills showing
was remarkable. w
If Bennett shows to better advantage
than Jimmy Carroll, with whom he is
matched to give an exhibition Tuesday
night, he hopes to get an immediate re
turn match with another club in the
Northwest.
Jimmy Carroll, of Oakland Bennett's
coming opponent, will' be in Portland
before the end of the week. Accom
panied by his trainer, he may arrive to
morrow. '
The Oregon Club's other match is like
ly to be an exhibition between Frankie
Edwards and Pete McVeigh, the Seattle
whirlwind. According to Lonny Austin,
of Seattle, McVeigh ia in line for the
lightweight championship.
Bobby Evans, who appeared here in
two rattling preliminaries, is scheduled
for a bout at Astoria Saturday night.

ELLIS' FIRST MOVE
ON WATERFRONT
Will Offer Ordinance Revoking
Grant of Foot of Main
Street.
CITY HAS CLEAR RIGHT
Law Passed 40 Years Ago Makes
Grant Revocable at Will Site la
Occupied -by" Albers Bros.
Consternation at Move.
Councilman Ellis will Introduce before
the City Council next Wednesday an or
dinance revoking the rights and privi
leges granted by the Council In October,
1868. to James B. Stephens and Walter
Mofflt on city property at the foot ot
Main street, on the Willamette River.
This Is the first definite step to be taken
by him in his efforts to reclaim for the
municipality dock property valued at mil
lions of dollars.
Albers Bros. Milling Company has its
warehouse on part of this property, ac
cording to Mr. Ellis. This is one of the
large establishments of Portland, and it
has been using the city street, he states.
for many years. Owing to the fact that
the Council actually granted the right to
occupy the street, however, until it shall
be revoked, It Is bel.eved that this is a
clear case; that the Council, by passing
the proposed ordinance to be submitted
by Mr. Ellis, will take over the property
for the city.
Mr. Ellis' announced intention of trying
to take over all of the waterfront prop
erty at the ends of the streets on both
sides of the Willamette River has created
no end of discussion, particularly among
those vitally affected, such as those who
have been occupying such property and
have established their business on it.
There is property, valued at manv mil
lions of dollars, lying from Glisan to
Market streets on the West Side and
from . Madison street to Holladay
avenue on the East Side, which
will be taken over formally and
either utilized by the city for some pur
pose or for which some revenue will be
demanded, according to the plans of Mr.
Ellis.
Following Is the ordinance which gave
permission to use Main street. It will be
seen that it is revocable at the pleasure
of the Council:
ORDINANCE NO. 368.
An ordinance. granting? permission to
James B. Stephens and Walter Moffltt to

and to grade and plank so much of that
portion of Main street, lying east of the east

The City- of Portland does ordain as fol
lows: Section 1. That James B. Stephens and
Walter Moffltt have the authority and con
sent of the Common Council to construct a
v.narr. aajoining. on the east, block 72 and

manner that the same shall not unneces

Section 3. That said parties shall in all
respects comply with the directions of the
"committee on streets and public property
and the street commissioner'' in the con

JOBBERS FIGHT FOR TRADE
Northwestern Opens Xew Territory
for Wholesale Houses.
BAKER CITY. Or., Dec. 15. (Special.)
The country recently opened by the new
is ortn western Railroad, along Snake River.
is a battle ground for the wholesaler and
Jobber of Eastern Oregon and Western
Idaho. Each city possessing wholesale
establishments has Its representatives in
the new field.
There has been a general belief that the
Oregon Short Line would install a freight
that would permit wholesalers along Its
line to enter the new country on a better
basis than Baker City merchants could
hope for. This thought has lately been
dispelled by a report that the O. R. &
N. intends to take care of the Baker
Oitv Institutions with a freight rate that
will equal the one adopted by the Short
Line. .
Already the ' Baker City Grocery Com
pany has established a warehouse, at
Robinette on the new railroad and other
institutions or tnis cityare preparing to
put in branch houses in some of the new
towns. Merchants in Weiser. Pavetts anrl

HOP MEN WILL HOLD CROP
Oregon Man Advises Growers to
TV ait for. High Prices.
9ALEM, Or.. Dec. 15. (Special.) Conrad
Krebs. one of the leading hopgrowers of
the Willamette Valley, returned to Salem
tonight frbm an Eastern trip, In which he
visited brewers in 60 leading cities of the
country.
His advice to growers is to hold their
hops until late Spring, if necessary, as
he declares prices will reach the 35-eent
mark by that time at least. He states
that the brewers of the United States
have given Oregon hops a black eye
through a letter sent out by u. F Fox.
secretary of the United States Brewing
Association. In .which Krebs declares Fox
advised all brewers If they kept out of
the market the market must decline.
Krebs states that hops were never so
strong in Oregon since 1SS2, when the
crop went to SI. 25 a pound. "If we can
not hold hops at present prices with only
one-third of the world market open for
consumption, we had better quit the hop
business entirely,." he said.

M'GRATH BADLY WANTED
SPORTING MAX CHARGEp WITH
PASSING BAD CHECK.
Portland Hotel Clerk Finds Mara
thon Race Promoter Was No
Friend and Gets Out Warrant.
Tim McGrath, well known among
athletes and sporting circles, as a
backer of marathon runners and a
promoter of races. Is wanted In Port
land on the charge of having passed
a worthless check for $100 upon Will
iam West, one of the clerks of the
Portland Hotel. A formal complaint
was made out yesterday morning by
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
and a warrant Issued for McGrath's
arrest.
The authorities at San Francisco,
where McGrath Is said to be at the
present time, have been notified to
take him into custody. It is thought
more than likely that McGrath will
prevent prosecution by sending forth
with the amount of the alleged bad
check.
McGrath and Fitzgerald were re
cently In Portland together with
Henri St. Tves, John Hayes and John
D. Marsh, champion runners. It was
the intention of the party to promote
a marathon race in Portland, but this
project fell through, McGrath, Fitz
gerald and Hayes going to San Fran
cisco ond the others going to Victoria.
B. C. Before leaving the hotel Fitz
gerald asked to have the check for
$100 cashed.' The clerk asked for Mc
Grath's indorsement; which was given.
The check was drawn upon the
Great West Permanent Loan & Sav
ings Company, of Calgary. Alberta
province, Canada, and dated Novem
ber 15. Testerday the Portland Hotel
Company was notified that the check
had been protested at the Canadian
bank.
Extradition papers will probably be
asked today for the racing men from
Governor Benson at Salem.
