BELLING HAM, Vuh., Jan. T.
President Lucas, of the North west
ern League, has tendered the Fort
land franchise to Bellingham and It
bas been accepted. Grounds have
been secured within three blocks of
the center of the city and the local
company only awaits formal award
of the franchise to beg-in work on

BELLINGHAM, Wash.. Jan. 7. (Spe
cial.) 4,I am trying to block Judge Mo
'redle's attempt to sell the players of the
IPortland Northwest League club, because
It will hurt our chances for receiving
Rood bids on the Portland franchise, and
because it is dead against the rules of
the National Association of Minor
leagues."
This was the statement made today by
President W. H. Lucas, of the Northwest
I-eague. who was in Bellingliam looking
over the chances for placing the Port
land franchise in this city.
"McCredie is acting wholly without prec
edent,' continued the little diamond and
Blab magnate. "The ruling on the mat
ter is clear, and as far as my knowledge
extends, has never been disobeyed be
fore. Players follow the franchise. The
town that buys the franchise buys the
team. That has always been the custom.
Jt is possible that there is something in
the Portland case that makes it an ex
ception, but T have yet to hear any ar
gument justifying McCredie's action.
No Fight Is Planned. .
"Will I try to stop McCredie selling the
players, pending a ruling on the case
from the National Association? Decid-'
rdly-not. If the players are sold and .the
case is decided in our favor, and the sales
have been made in the meantime, they
are illegal. That's all. The clubs that
buy the men do so at their own risk. If
the decision goes against McCredie they
will have to settle with him afterwards,
and not with the Northwest League.
'There are good players in the Port
land Northwest team, and I want to
eee the bunch kept intact and passed
on to the city that bids highest for
the franchise. It will make the league
better this season and will introduce
more Interest into the pennant race.
Hard to Ciet Team.
"A team can be gathered from noth
ing at all. of course, but it needs a
mighty good manager to do it. He
has to know where to get the men
and whom to pick, and how to com
bine good players and a salary limit;
and altogether it is a hard proposition.
Therefore I am very anxious "to have
the Portland team sold outright with
"tlM franchise."
President Lucas said that Belling
hani. Helena, Butte. Everett, Walla
Walla and Yakima would ail bid for
the Portland franchise at a meeting
of the league directors to be heid in
Seattle within the next two weeks.
Belllngham, because of its location
And elze. is the most favored town,
but a bid of at least $6000 will have
to be made by the local fans if the
Northwest team comes heire.
UAME T SETTLE D1SPCTE
Holla day and Brooklyn Teams to
Decide Football Championship.
Arrangement has at last been made to
settle the dispute regarding the 140
pound championship among the independ
ent football teams of the city. The two
elaimants, the Holladay and Brooklyn
teams, will meet for a game at 2:30 P.
M. a week from tomorrow at East
Twelfth and "East Davis streets, and the
winner will have the undisputed chara
Vionship of the city.
These two teams, together with the
M;Iaughlin team, have been disputing
the championship for two months, each
claiming to have won it fairly. The Mc
laughlin team was beaten recently, how
ever, on a slight margin by the Holladay
team, and the two remaining teams have
decided the best way to settle the dispute
Is to play a game.
SOCCER GAME TO BE DECISIVE
Multnomah and Cricketers Meet on
Boggy Field Today.
,On what premises to be an oozy field,
the Multnomah Club soccer team and
the Cricketers will play a city league
match this afternoon at Twenty-fourth

2:45. When the two teams met be
fore' on this field in December, the score
was a tie, two goals to two. Both
teams are in the Tuning for the P. F.
A. cup, and a defeat to either tomor
row means practical annihilation of any
chance of landing that trophy, as Mult
nomah has lost a game "and the Cricket

the equivalent of one game lost. The

OREGONIAN NEW 8 BTTREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 7. (Representative Poindexter,
of Washington, was one of the most
active of all Republican insurgents in
the House today, fighting the Administra
tion programme as embodied in the Hum
phrey resolution of inquiry.
Not only did Poindexter vote with the
Democrats, but he secured five minutes'
time from the Dernaeratic leader in
which he spoke against the proposed in
vestigation of the Forest Service and de
clared that enich Investigation was not
only unjustifiable and unwarranted, but
was proposed for the - sole purpose of
covering over the real issue namely,
the determination of whether or not Sec
retary iBalllnger is guilty of the charges
made against him.
Poindexter was the only .Northwestern
member to act with the insurgents.
GIRL KILLED IN RUNAWAY
STENOGRAPHER JUMPS TOO
LATE AS HARNESS BREAKS.
Head Strike Rock and Skull Is
Crushed Had Been Em-
Ployed In Portland.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 7. (Special.) Miss
Alice E. Runcorne, of Portland, who has
been visiting relatives in Polk .County,
was killed last evening in a runaway
accident on the Wallace Hill, Polk
County. Miss Runcorne was driving
with her brother, F. H. Runcorne, and
his wife, when the harness broke and
the horse ran away.
Mr. and Mrs. Runcorne quickly
jumped and were not badly hurt, but
Miss Runcorne waited until the horses
had attained full speed, and when she
jumped her head struck a rock and her
skull was crushed. She was taken to
the Salem hospital and died there this
morning.
Miss Runcorne had been employed as
a stenographer by the North Bank
Bank Road at Portland.
Miss Runcorne had been living in Port
land about two years. She was employed
as a stenographer, first by Eilers Piano
House and later by the Carlsbad Sanita
rium. She was lajt Jemployed by the
iNortn JanK tt&nroad ,but recently re
signed. She lived while here at the
Mansion rooming-house, 300 Jefferson

She intended returning to Portland to
day and after remaining here a few days

FRENCH ARMY SMALLER
THE DECREASING BIRTH RATE
FRIGHTENS M. SACMAXDE.
Estimate Made That by 19 28 Army
AV111 Show Only 300,000 Men
on War Footing.
PARIS. Jan. 8. (Special.) The re
port of M. Saumande on the Algerian
Budget, which has just been distrib
uted, contains an interesting chapter
on the military situation in Algeria,
summing up the arguments which have
recently been put forward in favor of
raising a division or divisions for the
French Army from among the native
populations subject to French rule.
The decreasing birth rate will, it is
estimated, have reduced by the year
1928 the effective forces of the French
Army to the extent of 62.000 men on
a peace footing and 300.000 men on a
war footing.
Modern organization, says M. Sau
mande, has given an additional impor
tance to numerical superiority, be
cause the training, weapons and or
ganization of the armies of the great
European powers are practically iden
tical, and if France is to maintain her
forces on an adequate numerical basis
she can only do so by falling back on
the resources of her Colonial posses
sions. At present the ' contingent called un
der the flag represents 52 4 per cent of
male births during the year, because
it means the incorporation in the
army of an excessive number of the
physically unfit; 46 per cent, it is cal
culated, should be the maximum per
centage, and its adoption would mean
a decrease of 28,000 men. Moreover,
the agitation for purging the home
army from ex-convicts and notoriously
bad characters will mean a further
loss of 5000 or 6000.
"We wajit," says M. Saumande. "to
lay our hands on 100,000 additional re
cruits during the next 20 years, and we
can only do so by utilizing contingents
from the Colonies." .
UNIQUE PENSION CASE UP
Annulity Granted by Charles II Is
Sought for in Court.
LONDON. Jan. 8. (Special. ) A remark
able pension case came up this week be
fore Justice Eady, in the Chancery Divi
sion, when H. M. Humphrey applied, on
behalf of Robert McLaren, a descendant
of Richard Pendrell. for an .annuity
granted by Charles 11. Richard Pendrell
and others assisted Charles II in his es
cape from the armies of the Common
wealth, under Cromwell, after the Battle
of Woreeter. fn August. 1651. and in hid
ing at White "Ladles, and Boscobel, in
Staffordshire, until he made good his es
cape to --France.
Counsel said his application was to en
able the trustees of the pension to pay
the annuity, which McLaren had been en
titled to since 18S6. and as to which he
had only now been able to establish his
title. He was an old cabman. 76 years of
age, and he was in very bad health. He
was living in one room, with his wife.
He had only a pension of $1.25 a week
and such money as his wife .could earn
at charing.
Counsel told a remarkable story of the
history of the pension, which was one of
$500 a year. It passed to Mary Pendrell,
a relict of Richard Pendrell, and "after
her decease for the use and benefit of
the heirs of the body of the said Richard
Pendrell." He also traced the descent of
I the claimant from Richard Pendrell, and
said the present trustee was perfectly
satisfied that he (claimant) must get a
moiety of the pension.
National Commission Allows
Members of California
League Standing.
NEAL0N GIVEN TO OAKLAND
Strlcklett, Sheehan, Phyle and Hen
derson Denied Reinstatement Un
til They Can Prove It Should
Be Awarded Them.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 7. The National
Baseball Commission late loday an
nounced its findings regarding several
former majcr league players whose rein
statement or return to the clubs with
which, they served before joining the Cali
fornia League, was sought by Secretary
Moreing, of that organization.
The gist of the decisions was given out
Wednesday after the annual meeting of
the commission. Today's announcement,
however, reveals several important de
tails. "Joe" Nealon, former first base
man of the Pittsburg team, is restored to
good standing and awarded to the Oak
land, Cal., club. The commission states
that this finding is because of the Pitts
burg club waiving its rights in the mat
ter. ElmeV Strlcklett and" Thomas Sheehan,
former members of the Brooklyn team;
Monte Phyle end Outfielder . Henderson
are denied reinstatement as members of
the California League. The finding in
the cases puts upon the players them
selves the burden of proving that they
are entitled to recognition by organized
baseball.
The sixth case related to H. Smith, an
outfielder. As previously announced, he
was awarded the Chicago National League
team under a contract signed before the
California' League was relieved of its
"outlawry."
A series of conferences between Charles
W. Murphy, president of the Chicago Na
tional Club, and Clark Griffith, manager
of the Cincinnati team, today failed to
develop anything definite in the way of
trades.
A report late in the day that Mordecal
Brown, a Chicago pitcher, had been of
fered by President Murphy in exchange
for Pitcher Robert Spade and other play
ers was characterized by both sides as a
"joke." t
"We talked over a long list of com
binations, but the negotiations have not
reached the stage where any names can
be mentioned," said Murphy tonight.
Earlier in the day Griffith said that
there was no possibility of a trade be
tween the clubs.
MOREING'S POCKET IN DEAL
Petitions for Reinstatement of Play
ers Said to Have Financial End.
Despite the petition by Cy Moreing, the
chief mogul of the erstwhile California
outlaw league, and his cunning adviser.
J. Cal Ewing, the applications for rein
statement of players Ben Henderson,
Tommy Sheehan, Elmer Strlcklett and
Monte Pfyle at the hands of the National
Baseball Commission, were denied. This
recognition would have given them the
privilege of playing .with the major
league clubs to which they belong, and
would also have put a few "scads" in the
jeans of Moreing.
Joe Nealon, the big first baseman who
formerly played with the Pittsburg team,
was recognized and reinstated because
the Pittsburg club waived its claim to
him. Pittsburg probably did this because
Joe did not really break"a" contract with
that club, but merely refused to report
and decided he. would rather play" in the
outlaw league near home than go back
to the Smoky City. '
In the cases of Henderson, Strlcklett,
Sheehan and Pfyle, each jumped, not only
his contract, but in certain instances,
received money from the clubs to which
they belonged without rendering service
in return. Moreing was especially anx
ious to get these players reinstated, for
he needs the money such reinstatement
would accrue him through their sale to
other clubs.
THIRTY PLAYERS AT LARGE
California State League Dodges Dis
tributing Issue.
STOCKTON. Jan. 7. Dodging the is
sue of distributing some third-odd
players whose club ownership is in
aouDt, by passing this matter over to
a committee consisting of Cy More
ing, Jr., W. F. Toomey, J. Cal. Ewing
and Charles Graham, the California
State League meeting was adjourned
to meet in San Francisco between Jan
uary 20 and February 1, when a sched
ule will be decided upon.
At the time the State League was
admitted into organized baseball, the
league asked fpr a blanket reserve on
the players of 'the disbanded teams of
San Jose and Santa Cruz in order that
they might be retained. Now comes
the question of distributing them be
tween Sacramento,. San Jose, San Fran
cisco and Stockton, which club was
badly shot to pieces last Fall.
The list of players who are being
considered, as announced by President
Frank Herman, is as follows:
Stricklett
Trippett
Bobby Eager
Dashwood
Keller
Sid Iacey
Broaribent
Ike Buttler

It was stated this morning that there
is nothing certain about San Jose se
curing a franchise. Fresno is anxious
for Bakersfield to secure a club, and it
is considered possible that the San Jose
people will not come through with the
necessary financial backing.
It is possible that Deacon Van Buren
will be the captain -of the Stockton
club, and that Secretary McCall will at
tend to the business end of the game.
Charlie Graham, the new owner of
the Sacramento team, stated that he
will offer the management of the Sac
ramento State League team to Charlie
Doyle, who played last year in the out
field for the Senators.
The Fresno management has not fully
decided upon a manager, but Frank
Schuck, who is in charge, stated that he
thought Frank McDonough, the catcher,
who hails from Stockton, will be in
charge of the players.
There is going to be quite a fight
over Monte Pyfl, the Stockton first
baseman. There is a chance that he
will be reinstated, and if he is Tip
O'Neill declares that the Western
League will lay claim to his services.
Portland. New York and Philadelphia
claim him also.-

EMPLOYES SHARE GAIN
WORKMEX BECOME PARTNERS
IN SHIPYARD,
Scheme for Profit-Sharing Works
Successfully, and Renewal of
Deal Is Asked.
LONDON, Jan. 8. (Special.) About a
year ago. Sir Christopher Fumess laid
before the workmen in the shipbuilding
yards of Furness. Wtihy & Co.. a scheme
of co-partnery under which the men were
to become shareholders in the company,
receiving 4 per cent certain upon their
holdings and sharing equally in surplus
profits after the ordinary shareholders
had received 5 per cent.
The men accepted the scheme provis
ionally for 12 months, and the work of
the yards has actually been carried on
upon that basis. A letter has been ad
dressed to the employe shareholders by
the secretary of the company in which
the directors express satisfaction with
the working of the scheme as ascertained
up to September 30, and as estimated
up to the present date. The. yards have
been fully employed, the work' has been
executed on time, and amiable and agree
able relations have subsisted among all
concerned in the business.
Financially, the results have been so
satisfactory that the board feel justified
in declaring a dividend of 5 per cent to
the ordinary shareholders, the employe
shares receiving 4 per cent upon all the
shares without distinction. Thus the or
dinary shareholders receive 10 per cent per
annum and the employe shareholders 9
per cent upon their holdings for the nine
months ending on December 31.
The scheme, which entirely eliminates
strikes, has thus far been successful, and
the employes have been asked to renew
the copartnery for a fixed period.
MEYER STAVES OFF, DELAY
Congress Asked to Aid Work on
Pearl Harbor Channel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. To prevent a
serious setback to the development of
the Pearl Harbor Naval Station' through"
the exhaustion of the regular appropria
tion of $1,000,000 by February 1, the Sec
retary of the Navy today sent to Con
gress a deficiency estimate of tSOO.OOO
toward completing the dredging of the
35-foot channel for the station.
Secretary Meyer hopes to have the sta
tion ready to take care of the fleet by
July 1, 1912.
The general plan of piers and slips,

work out for the benefit of the fans who
like the training stunt Idea. He is one
of - the cleverest lads in the 130 to 133
pound division in the West, and has a
long string of successes to his credit.
Iong rtas Good Record.
Before taking up his .home at Pendle
ton, Long met and defeated a number of
the best youngsters in California, and
he has appeared in all of the principal
towns of the Northwest. He enjoys the
unique reputation of never having been
knocked out, though once or twice deci
sions have been rendered against him.
As to the latter, he has always disputed
the Judgment of the referee, and has of
fered to meet the favored opponent in re
turn matches, but without success, for
none of them seemed anxious to try con
clusions with him a second time.
Frankle " Edwards is at his home in
San FVancisco, and so far has been tak
ing things easy. He announces that he
feels in fine shape, and that when he
comes to Portland in a few days he will
be able to get into first-class condition
by a few days' strenuous workouts. He
is a glutton for work, and nothing
pleases him better than a good set-to
in training quarters with a lad who can
handle himself.
McVeigh Out or Ring.
All possibility of matching Pete Mc
Veigh, the young Seattle phenom., with
Danny O'Brien has gone glimmering, at
least for the present, as a letter from
Ixinnie Austin, boxing instructor of the
Seattle Athletic Club, and manager of
McVeigh, says that the clever little boxer
met with an injury recently which will
prevent his boxing for at least a month.
IMsappointed in securing McVeigh. the(
Oregon Athletic Club is trying to induce'
Roscoe Taylor, McVeigh's recent oppo
nent, to come to Portland to- meet either
O'Brien or Ned Whitman.
Both O'Brien and Whitman have signed
to box before the Oregon Club, and both
lads are now without opponents, for
Evans, who was to meet Whitman, and
McVeigh have been incapacitated by ac
cidents. It is possible, in the event that

New York Sun.
Neighborhood prophets predicted that a
third drugstore in the block was a super
fluity and that the newcomer would fail
in less than a month. But the prophets
did not take into account the resourceful
ness of the new druggist. He showed his
hand the day the woman who occupied
a flat above his store said she was sorry,
but if he had so much work ahead that
she couldn't get her prescription put up
in less .than a half hour she would have
to 'go to another store.
"It may not take quite that long." said
he beguillngly, "and while you wait you
are entitled to one telephone call without
charge."
"And what could I do?" said the
woman afterward. "There wasn't a soul
on earth I wanted to telephone to just
then,' but couldn't let the chance to get
something for nothing slip by, so I called
up two women whom 1 had no desire to
see and Invited them to a luncheon that I
had to spend a dollar extra on because
they were coming. In the remaining
15 minutes that I waited three other
women in a hurry were held by that al-
luring free telephone bait. Run that man
out? Never! In less than three weeks
no -woman in the neighborhood could
be induced to buy drugs elsewhere. If
anybody is run out it will be the old-established
druggists, not the new man."
