Manager Rowland Leaves for
Seattle With High
Hopes.
V-V
. FIGHT FOR VACANT PLACE
Rellingiiam Seems to Have Best
Chances With Rowland, Who
May Oppose Dugdale's Fet
Scheme for Everett.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 17. (Spe
cial.) Taking -with him the assurance
that Aberdeen will be represented In
the Northwestern League, for the com
ing season, President-Manager C. H.
Rowland, of the Aberdeen baseball
club, left tonight for Seattle to attend
the annual meeting, which will be held
In that city tomorrow.
While It appeared certain Saturday
that the city would remain in the
league, the matter was not definitely
known until after the directors' meet
ing late that night, when several busi
ness men announced their willingness
to subscribe to the fund until a suffi
cient sum was secured to assure the
y continuance of the club. The stock
company proposition has been deferred.
Rowland anticipates a warm meeting
In Seattle over the Portland franchise,
with Belllngham. Everett, North Yak
ima and Walla Walla all seeking It.
Rowland favors Belllngham and
probably will oppose Dugdale's pet
scheme of the Everett plans with games
there switched to Seattle. Rowland
today announced that he had signed
, nine more players, seven of them pitch
ers. They are: B. L. Method, of Go
shen, Ind.: S. A. Gurney, of Detroit,
Mich.; Eddie Justice, of Columbus, O.;
Claude Stark, of Detroit, Mich.; W. C.
Fox, of Springfield. 111.; Will Eaton, of
Aberdeen; Fred Blanding, of Seattle:
Henry Rossbach, of Galesburg, 111., and
George Rothermel, of Ames, la.
Justice Is a shortstop, said to be fast
and a classy baserunner. Stark Is a
backstop and was with Rock Island
last year. Rossbach was with Gales
. burg in 1908, and, although the team
. occupied the cellar position, Rossbach
won 22 out of 34 games pitched. Roth
ermel was with Des Moines in the
Western League last year, and comes
highly recommended by Al Swain.
Important meeting of the United States
Golf Association scheduled for next
Friday night at New York. A new
constitution probably will be adopted,
but the result of this action will be
secondary to that which Is almost sure
to be taken regarding recognition of
the West. It Is believed by many the
formation of a National organization,
one which will place the West on even
footing with the East, will be the
result. i
NELSON" NOW REAL PATRIOT

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 17. (Special.)
Battling Nelson will select holidays
dear to American sentiment as occa
sions for future clashes in which his
lightweight title will be at stake.
Nelson made this announcement to
day when denying the receipt of the
published ablegram from Freddie
Welsh, the British lightweight cham
pion, stating that an offer of $25,000
had been made direct to Nelson for a
45-round fight with Welsh at Cardiff,
Wales.
"I have not received any offer from
abroad," said Nelson, who is training
for his bout Friday night with Eddie
Lang. "1 meet Wolgast on Washing

suit me Immensely to follow that vic
tory with a cleanup of Welsh, the

LEAGUE MEET ON SOUND TODAY
4ugdale Has Plan on Foot to Let Ont
Aberdeen.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 17. The di
rectors of the Northwestern League will
assemble in Seattle tomorrow to select
the sixth club for the circuit to fill the
vacancy made by Portland quitting the
Northwestern fold. Two cities are hot
after the franchise surrendered by Mc
Credle. When Mique Fisher decided that
)ie could not finance a team In Everett,
It waa believed that Belllngham had a
clear field, and there was muc hrejoicing
in the city on Belingham Bay. Now, the
business men of Everett have awakened
to the situation and are prepared to ap
pear before the league directors tomor
row and bid for the franchise.
Belllngham fans and business men are
. )ust as anxious to get into the league,
nd not only have agreed to subscribe
110.000 to support a fast team, but will
build a baseball park close to the busi
ness section of the city
Either Everett or Belllngham would
be acceptable to the league directors, as
iheir proximity to Seattle would make
, It possible for the team of either town
to play some of its games in Seattle
when the local nine is on the road, and
thus help out in the fianclal end of the
game. ,
Enthusiasm In Aberdeen is not nearly
as hot as it was last year, and the fans
T)f the lumbering town must show some
pced or they are In danger of losing
representation in the league. The direc
tors believe that Everett or 3ellingharn
Is as good a baseball town as Aberdeen
and the traveling expenses 'are consider
ably lower.
OHIO WANTS SUNDAY
BALL
Four Delegations Favor Bill to Be
. Introduced This Week.
CINCINNATI. O., Jan. 17. Four big
lelegations to the Ohio General Assem
My have come out openly for Sunday
baseball In this city and state, and it
will support the bill to be introduced
this week by Representative Gilligan,
of Cincinnati, to make baseball a legal
Sunday amusement.
The delegations which will support
the measure are those from Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo. All
the members say It is wrong to have
the matter left to the Mayor of a city,
and that the best thing to do is to
change the civic code putting It under
the jurisdiction of the General Assembly.

NEW YORK. Jan. 17. Jack Johnson
wants Colonel Roosevelt as referee of
Tne cnampionsnip ngnt next July, in a
statement published here today the negro
pugilist said:
Kx-Presirlent Roosevelt ought to be a
good authority. He has been boxing him
eelf and should know the merits of both
men. He has carefully studied both men
nd I think he would make a good
referee, being our Nation's chief leader
and a great leader was he.
"I am satisfied. If the club would choose
!hlm as referee, it would satisfy to the
Queen's taste. He le cool and collected
and no one can rattle him and got his
goat like they would a lot of fellows
who have their names down as referees,
"Your champion. JACK JOHNSON."

FAND0M
AT
RANDOM
BY W. .T. PETRAIN.
Phil Cooney will probably learn that
it does not pay to take advantage of
his manager. The turning back of
Cooney to Portland by Cleveland is a
lesson dearly bought, for Philip Is quite
likely to be turned over to the North
western League. . ,
Despite the fact that most people
look upon Bellingham as the logical
successor of Portland In the Northwest
ern League, Mike Fisher is hustling
among the Everett fans and says he is
assured of enough support to secure the
franchise.
Buddy Ryan intends returning to
Denver to visit his relatives before the
baseball season starts. Buddy likes
Portland and will be found in the Mc
Credie camp when the 1910 balltossers
return to open the season here.
Ralph Frary, the Northwestern
League umpire, has organized a boxing
club at Spokane and will try to liven
up the sport situation in the Falls City
by a series of amateur bouts during the
next several weeks.

If Cartwright and Davis are the only
players Bob" Brown has slipped Joe
Cohn for Bobby James. Dode Brinker,
Jack Clynes and Harry Rush, the sorrel-top
manager of last season's Indian
bunch has put a neat one over on Cohn.
Cartwright is a prize lemon and Davis
old enough to quit. x v
"Shorty" beg pardon Edward R.
Hughes, of Seattle, has it all doped out
that Nick Williams, the San Francisco
Ifelltosser, is acting as agent in Cali
fornia for Cliff Blankenshlp, and that
the aforementioned Nick has about
signed up Tom Tennant and an infielder
named Smith for the Tacoma Tigers of
1910.
"Brer" Hughes may not be wrong,
for Tom Tennant is "in bad" with the
Bay City bugs, who don't like the awk
ward first sacker, who, however, may
"possibly" make good in the North
western League. Kid Mohler has al
ready stated that Williams is to play
first base, which meanB curtains for
Tennant.
Portus Baxter, dean of the sporting
critics of the -Pacific Northwest, is
spending a well-earned vacation in
California. "Old Port" contributes an
interesting dissertation on the North
western situation In a San Francisco
paper of recent date. In which he as
serts that an all-coast league is not
feasible because of the long railway
jujnps. "Port" has handed out this
guff for seven years or more.

Owner Comiskey's White Sox are try
ing to fix a date for a game to be
played at Walla Walla. If successful,
this ought to stimulate the Walla

the advice so kindly given by a Seattle
scribe whereby they can get a place In
the Northwestern League.
fall has not been widespread, general
rain is predicted for today. If the
weather man's prophecy is fulfilled
Jack Frost, who has reigned for the
last two weeks will be forced to retire.
The storm broke over Oregon and
Washington yesterday morning and the
wind attained a velocity of 72 miles at
North Head. The line to Tatoosh was
down and no report was received. At
Blaine, Wash., a southeast gale raged
at 52 miles an hour, and was accompa
nied by rain.
Rain, accompanied by high southerly
winds, 13 the forecast for Portland and
vicinity for today. The storm now rag
ing over the North Pacific States is the
most severe since last November. Flood
conditions will probably follow the rain
as snow in abundance awaits thawing
In the mountains. The plains of East
ern Oregon and Washington are cov
ered with a mantle from three to six
inches deep. The ground being well
saturated, it is feared the snow will
run off as surface water and swell
streams to the flood point.
Umbrellas paid toll to the god of
winds yesterday afternoon, many pe
destrlans going home with a damaged
Tain stick" and wet raiment. Shortly
arter noon the wind began to pipe' and
by 4 o'clock was howling at the rate
of 22 miles an hour. The prevailing
direction was from the southwest and a
light ram accompanied the gale.
All traces of snow have disappeared
from the streets of Portland. In spite
of the wind and rain, the streets' were
more crowded last night than for
fortnight.

EUGENE FOOTBALL SQUAI WILL
PRACTICE I?T SPRING.
Hayward Will Develop Skill at Pass
ing and Kicking; and Seek
Good Punter.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or., Jan. 17. tSpeclal.) A new wrinkly
in athletics at the University of Oresoir
will be the introduction of Spring foot
ball practice next May and June, ac
cording to an announcement just made
by Trainer "Bill" Hayward. Though
Spring- football practice is not a new
thing In the big Eastern universities,
Oregon is probably the first Northwest
college to undertake it.
Under the direction of Hayward and
Captain Taylor, of next year's team, all
candidates for the football squad will
be brought out on the field every after
noon and hustled through fast work in
signals, punting, place and drop kick
ing, and passing the ball. No 'bucking
or heavy work will be done, as the ob
ject of the practice la merely to put
the players In the best condition for
the regular season and to develop their
ability in kicking and passing. Efforts
will be made bx Hayward to bring out
a strong kicker, for with the loss of
Captain Clarke, for four years Oregon's
mainstay in the kicking department,
the team is likely to be weak in punt
ing. Hayward has offered a silver cup
to the freshman doing the best punting.
Similar trophies will be put up for ac
curate passing and open "field playing,
to arouse ocmpetition
The single feature of Rugby football
that Impressed Hayward on his recent
trip to British Columbia to Investigate
the English game was the accurate
passing. Some of the Rugby passing
formations will be tried out in the
I Spring practice, but that is the nearest
Oregon will come to adopting the game
that Hayward In his report to the fac
ulty declared was far more dangerous
than American football.
With the formation of a Northwest
Baseball Conference recently interest
in baseball has been given a big stim
ulus at the university. During the sea
son Oregon will play all the other five
conference colleges. Manager Harper
Jamison has announced that he will sell
season tickets good for all games for
$2. Coach "Father Tom" Kelly, who
turned out a championship nine here
last year, will return about March 1 to
take charge of the squad.

the Oregon Athletic Club at the Ex

uary 20. arrived in Portland yesterday
morning and will do light work at the
Police Athletic Association's gym this
afternoon.
Testerday afternoon Louie Long and
Gene West went through three rounds
of light sparring, while West took on
Tommy Hennessy .for a livelier "go"
afterward, and the fans who went to
the training quarters were treated to
some rattling boxing by tne trio. Ed
Cuft. who looks after Long, refuses
to allow Ioule to "mix It" in training,
for the Spokane lad is already "fine."
and his trainer is guarding against his
being overstrained for Thursday night.
Long has had several matches in '
the last three weeks and on that ac
count he does not require hard work
to get into first-class condition.
At the policemen's gym Danny
O'Brien and Ned Whitman continue
to be the. favorite attraction each aft
ernoon, for the two lads have won
a host of admirers since they com
menced training. Whitman, who is to
meet Tommy Hennessy, says he never
was in better shape in his career, and
to look at the little fellow in action
it Is easy to see that he is correct.
Perle Casey, the crack second base
man of the Portland Baseball Club, has
been selected to referee several of the
bouts to be staged Thursday night,
while the last two exhibitions will be
presided over by Jack King.
