Wash., Dec. SI. (Spe cial.) "Well, I am. glad that Judge McCredie has finally declared what his intention really is," Bald Manager C. H. Rowland, of the Aberdeen team, in discussing today McCredie's statement that be was through for all time with the Northwestern Ieague. "Since last Fall the Northwestern magnates have been groping In the dark so far as Portland is concerned. Nobody knew what McCredie was go ing to do and no move could be made until he declared himself. His refusal to affiliate with the Northwestern at least clears up the matter and leaves the league free to go ahead with any other plan it may have in prospect. I believe that another town may be secured and that in the long run the Northwestern will not suffer by the defection of Portland. I do not be lieve that McCredie's offer to permit the operation of a Northwestern team in Portland in conflict with his own club will bo taken seriously. From what I" know of other cities in the slate Hellingham today looks the best to mo." VMV1RKS IX WAY OF SIGNALS Clark. Griffith Would Keep Officials Out offJlantoml. CINCINNATI,, Dec. 31. Manager Clark Griffith, of the National League rules committee, says there is one rule relating to umpires which ought to be changed. "I don't like to be called a kicker." said Griffith yesterday, "but it does make mo mad to have an umpire around in the way when you've got a good play on and have him step Into it and knock the whole business out. "Very often I have seen signals go wrong because an umpire was in the way and the players could not see. I want them to stand on the outfield side '"of the base line and give their decisions there, the othr umpire remaining be hind the catcher at all times. I think with this rule in force we could have a whole lot less wrangling than we have now, and that the people would really get a little better ball playing for their money."

FORM GROWING POPULAR Discussion of Merits "as Ideal Sport for Schools and Masses Brings It Forward Kapidly Good Crowds Are Expected. For the first time since football began to be played in Portland, the association variety, incorrectly and colloquially known as soccer, will have the field to Kself on New Year's day. The associa tion games' . will be two, one on the Vaughn-street ibaseiball grounds, in the morning . at 10:30 o'clock, between the Cricketers and- the Oceanics; the other, ( on Multnomah Field, at 2:30 o'clock In the afternoon, between Multnomah, cham pions of Oregon last year, and the Na-. tionals. a new team that hopes to be champions this year. Though association football has been "in our midst" these many years, its players have been few and its followers 'almost as few. It has been pursued purely for pleasure and in a quiet and unobtrusive way. Had the existence of the game de pended on patronage and had it not been a game played purely for the sport it self, it would have died a natural death long ago. Soccer players never had a fiqld until late in 1907. when an en terprising committee secured the base ball grounds for Winter use. Prior to that time, a common somewhere had been the scene of games. Players on Increase. . A year later Multnomah took up the game as an experiment and conceived an instant liking for it. Since then the only two good fields1 in town have both been at the disposal of the association men through most of their season, and in consequence their numbers have in creased steadily. The game was still played solely for pleasure, howeverM and little effort was made to push it to the front. . Developments in connection with other kinds of football this year have pushed soccer to the front unbidden. The game now is widely discussed in Portland, not as ' substitute for intercollegiate, which" is left to English Rugby, should any substitute be found necessary, but as the ideal game-:. for the schools and for such of the masses as desire an out door Winter sport. There is still general ignorance of the game, of Its rules, of its system of team play and of the source of the peculiar delight all Its exponents take in playing it. The object of the holiday games on Multnomah field is to familiarize as many Americans as possible with these features. Close Game Expected. The game today between the Nationals and the M. A. A. C. men should be close and of reasonably good quality. Some of the players will weigh around 200 pounds: others in one or two cases- range down to 120. It will be possible to see the comparative merits of the light and havy man when the play brings them together. It has always been the Portland habit to go to Multnomah Field for football New Year's day and this afternoon is expected to be no exception, particularly since much curiosity can be gratified re garding a kind of football now getting in general vogue in the United States as well as a spectacular game be witnessed.
