SILVER LAKE. Or., Jan. 10. (To the

for domestic use and of a good quality,
from 10 to 40 feet from the surface. As
to soil, it is sandy and looks very good.
It is. covered with a heavy growth of
sagebrush. You cannot commute on the
SJO-aore homesteads in 14 months, but you
have to make this your Hbme for five

EVERETT, AFTER FRANCHISE
Shreeder Himself Is Noncommittal,
but Says Stock Company Is Form

Tired of Game in Tacoma.
f.EATTLF, Wash., Jan. 10 (Special.)
A report reached Seattle today that
George M. Shreeder, owner of the Ta
coma ball club in the Northwestern
League, had flatly declared his intention
of quitting the league.
There is good authority for saying
Shreeder has informed President Lucas
he will withdraw from the league. Along
with this goes the intimate confidence
that the Tacoma franchise will be va
cated unless Shreeder disposes of his
interests to new owners.
- Shreeder, in a talk tonight over the
long-distance telephone, would neither
deny nor affirm that he had made the
statement to President Lucas that is
credited to him, but he did confirm the
report that he intended to get out of the
game. .
Stock Company Being Formed.
"All I can say at this time is that a
stock company is being formed over here
to take over the Tacoma club," he said
over the telephone. "The plans will be
completed in a few days." .
When asked whether he would get rid
of all his interest in the club, Shreeder
said he couldn't tell at present.
"Will you withdraw from the league in
case you don't sell the club?" he was
then asked.
"T can't say anything about that Just
yet." he replied., "My plans will be an
nounced in a few days."
Several times Shreeder has let it be
known that he was tired of the game

ABERDEEN FEARS FOR LEMON
If Team Is Placed In Field This
Year, How About 1911?
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Jan. 10. (Spe
cial.) Back of the unrestrained support
both in finances and enthusiasm which
fans of Aberdeen are giving to the Black
Cat team, looms the ever prominent
question "Where do we get off in 1911?"
Aberdeen's dyed-in-the-wool baseball en
thusiasts declare that the powers that
be have already framed things for a year
from hence and that large and lucious
grapefruit will be handed out to the
smaller cities in the Northwestern League
when 1911 rolls around.
This hunch has turned almost into con
viction with the sudden move of Bb
Brown, erstwhile of Aberdeen, in grab
bing the Vancouver franchise.
Bob was successful and popular ln Spo
kane, say the fans and recently in com
pany with Joe Cohn fitted up a costly
cigar store and poolroom in the Inland
Empire city. He cannot, under the most
auspicious circumstances, hope to make
as much in 'Vancouver as at Spokane.
There's a reason, declare local dopesters,
and they declare it to be an all-Coast
league in 1911.
Recently D. E. Dugdale, Joe Cohn. Bob
Erown and George Shreeder met in Seat
tle by arrangement and held a long con
fab ln which the Northwest Baseball
League was thoroughly discussed. A few
days plater. Brown got busy with Van
Vancouver. Putting two and two to
gether the fans have arrived at the con
clusion that the owners of the Spokane,
Seattle and Vancouver -teams have come
to an understanding and that Brown's
transfer to Vancouver is for the purpose
of building up that city as" a baseball
center with the idea of making It one or
the four Northern cities wanted by Mc
Credie in his expansion idea.
If there is any man on earth, they
say, who can do this, it Is Bob Brown.
BROWN FORESEES NO TROUBLE
New Manager ' of Beavers Has Line
on Classy Team. .
VANCOUVER. B. C. Jan. 10. (R. P.
Brown, the new manager of the Beavers,
anticipates no legal trouble over his new
franchise. He stated tonight that ail talk
to the contrary, he believes Britt and
O'Leary have no ground to stand on and
that they are simply bluffing ln hopes
of getting something for nothing.
However. Brown says any legal tangle
could not be brought home to him, but
to Dickson, once owner of the team and
Charles Johnson, the recent owner.
Not more than six or eight of the 14
reserves on the Vancouver team will be
kept by Brown, indicating that he has
some pretty good men in sight to make
out a classy nine.
Should a captain be appointed. Brown
says it will be Joe Sugden,' the famou3
catcher, but Brown is not sure he will
appoint a captain until perhaps the last
minute.
Table Tourney Progresses.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Jan. 10. (Spe
cial.) Already there have been five con
tests, three at billiards and two at pool,
in the pool and billiard tournament being
held in this city under the auspices of
the Commercial Club at the clubrooms.
At billiards W. B. DuBoia beat R. G.
Percival by & score of 85 to 76, A. R.
Munger defeated DuBois by score of 90 to
56, and in the match between Munger and
W. D. Smith the former won by 90 to 79.
In pool Q. M. Anderson defeated R.
Thoroughman by a score of 78 to 67 and
was in turn defeated by A. R Munger
by SO to 59. There are 19 entries for
pool and 20 for billiards. It is thought
that the series will take two weeks to
play. The prizes that have been nut
up are fancy cues.

INTER-CLUB BOXING FRIDAY
Kalph, of Portland, to Box Novak,
of Seattle, in Welterweight Class,"
SIcCarl to Figlit North, and
Mills to AVrestle Duncan.
When Jack Novak, crack welter
weight boxer of Seattle Athletic Club,
goes against C. C. Ralph, of the Mult
nomah Athletic Club, in the lnter-club
boxing bouts at the Multnomah gym
nasium next Friday night, he will see
great improvement in the local man.
Ralph has devoted all his spare time
in boxing and while handicapped by
lack of time for training he has done
wonderfully well and ranks with any
amateur welterweight in the North
west. Seattle has scored a number of times
over the Multnomah Club recently, but
Friday night the clubmen expect to
crow a little' themselves, and C. C.
Ralph and "Midget" McCarl are the
men depended upon to furnish the rea
son. McCarl is to hook up with lit
tle Henry North of the Seattle Club,
and Instructor Canziger says he is in
fine condition.
Mills to AVrestle Duncan.
Among the wrestlers Multnomah will
pit Eddie Mills against Seattle's cham
pion 115-pound grappler, Frank Dun
can, who has won a number of hard
tussles in the Northwestern compe
titions during the past year. Duncan
won the championship in this division
last year and it is Mills' ambition to
take the title away from him.
Duncan was the Seattle nominee for
the tournament and the Multnomah
Club selected the 135-pound division
expecting to enter one of the three or
four crack grapplers of the club. Seat
tle accepted the nomination, but in
stead of sending a 135-pound grappler,
named Bert Kincaid, at V25 pounds,
as the entry to meet Multnomah's
heavier lad. Either II. M. Mose or
Oscar Franske will be Multnomah's
entry, for these two "are rated as the
cleverest among the grapplers of
O'Connell's classes.
Policeman Taft to Box,
Preliminary, boxing matches, for
which the Multnomah Club offers
medals, have been arranged between H.
E. Taft, of the Police Department
Athletic Association, and E. E. Wilson,
of the Multnomah Club. Taft dis
played some knowledge of the boxing
at the recent city championships, but
at that time he plainly showed lack
of condition. His brother officers now
say he is fit. Wilson is a hardy chap,
and knows considerable of the game.
Another preliminary bout has been
BOSTON WANTS SACRAMENTO
Baseball Magnate Would Give
$12,000 for Western Club.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. That the
Boston American League club will
take- a controlling interest in the
Sacramento Coast League Club, giving
President John I. Taylor a farm for
his green material in the Boston club,
is reported here today. The deal is
called the most important in base
ball circles for many months. Taylor
has sent word that he is ready to
close for $12,000. providing" the Sacra

to the city.
As Taylor must cut his squad down
to 35, it is supposed that he wants
a club where he can stow his surplus
players.
GDRVALLIS WOULD ROW
Ox A. C. AIMS TO ADD AVATEIi
SPORT TO ATHLETICS.
Willamette Too Rough for Shells', but
Safe for Barges Preliminary
Steps Are Taken.
OREGON AGRICULTURALi COLLEGE,
Corvallls, Or., Jan 10.-Opecial.) Rowing
may be added to the athletic activities
of the Oregon Agricultural College in the
near future. Director Angell is investi
gating conditions and corresponding with
other Western colleges for the purpose of
determining in how far rowing could be
made an intercollegiate sport.
Although the Williamette River, the
only available water course in the vi
cinity of the college, is high and the
current is swift, it is thought that barges
,way be used with safety. It is probable
that the condition of the river will never
make it possible to row in the regulation
shells.
Washington University has already
signified its willingness to participate in
a rowing race with Corvallls. Washing
ton officials . have intimated that they
are willing to transfer their crews from
the shells to barges or to develop sepa
rate crews at any time they are assured
of a race.
The Universities of California and Le
land Stanford have not been heard from
directly as yet. but it Is said on the au
thority of a prominent alumnus of one
of these colleges that they will be pleased
with the advent of another Western col
lege in this sport. It has already become
a custom to hold regattas in which the
crews of the three above-named institu
tions participate. A fourth member will
add greatly to the interest ln rowing
meets.
TRAINING ON TODAY
Lightweight Long to Work Out
With Gene West.
FIGHTER NEVER DOWNED
Pugilist Matched AAith Edwards
Doesn't Know Knock-Out Ftoel-
. ing Ed Curr, Old-Timer,
to Prepare Him.
BT W. J. PETRAK.
Louis Long, one of the most promi
nent lightweight boxers in the ring
today, who is to meet Frankie Edwards
January 20, will commence training
with Gene West, the former" Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club boxer, at the
gymnasium of the Portland Police De
partment's Athletic Association in the
Union block this afternoon.
Ed Cuff, an old-time disciple of the
padded mit, came to Portland with Long
to train him for the match with Ed
wards. Cuff was one of Dempsey's sec
onds in many of his fights.
Long says he is a native Oregonian.
He was born in Astoria and reared in
Eugene. He entered the lighting game
at Spokane about nine years ago, and
since has fought as a principal in regu-'
lar bouts more than 100 times. He has
lost several ring engagements through
adverse decisions, but to be knocked
out is an experience unknown to the
Oregon lightweight.
His best fighting weight Is 130
pounds. On three occasions he had been
matched to meet Battling Nelson, but
the Dane canceled the bouts to fill a"
theatrical or other engagement.
Among Long's most noted ring per
formances are: Knocking out of Aure
lio Herrera, in three rounds; knocked
out Willie Can01e,in 18 rounds, at
Marysville; knocked out Kid Scaler,
four rounds: Spider Welch, five rounds;
Johnny Crow. 19 rounds; Jack Clifford,
13 rounds; Eddie Toy, 17 rounds; Tom
Herman, 11 rounds, and Caesar Attell,
in three and 11 rounds.
Lonfr Lost to "Fighting" Dick Hy
land on a foul in five rounds. Billy
Lauder, champion of Canada, and Hy
land refuse to give Long return match
es. Louie had the better of Lauder in
a 10-round bout, which was called a
draw by a Canadian referee.
