ATMOSPHERE IS NOW CLEAR
Aberdeen Glad to Know McCredie Is
Through With Northwestern.
ABERDEEN. 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."

SOCCER HAS FIELD
Association Games Scheduled
on Two Grounds Today.
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.

enjoyed considerable success on the

who is a strong, rugged grappler,
should prove a most interesting con
