THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, FEBRUARY- 14, 1910. 15 NORTHWESTERN TAKES BUCK STEP Belief Expressed That League Will Fail With Four Club Outfit. POLITICS HURT ABERDEEN Baseball "Tactics" Worst Type of "Cut-Throat" Games Played to Down Opponents Will Higher- TTps Spring Coup? BY W. J. PETRAIN. The schedule for the Northwestern League season of 1910 was published throughout the Northwest yesterday and with that murh of the early sea son detail completed, that organization will go ahead with its plans on a four club basis. The chanr-es of Aberdeen winning- out on the remaining suit against the league are so minute, at least accord ing to the officers of the circuit, that hardly any hope can bo hld out to the game sportsmen of the Grays Har bor metropolis. Aberdeen appears to be the victim of baseball politics, and politics in this branch of sport is the worst "cut throat" type of all political or business affiliations. The powers behind the throne In the Northwest league, or to be exact, r. K. Dtigdale. Joe Cohn and Bob Brown, for Kddie Quinn, Schreed er's successor at Tacoma. did not cut much Ice in the manipulation, have some tentative agreement on which they are working. Stop Backward Taken. Whether they have an all-coast league in view, or are planning a new coup for 191 J, cannot be foretold at the present writing. Suffice to say that the Northwestern League has taken a step backward and not for ward In reducing its circuit. Iugdale's retention of the Yesler street "cigar box" park may also have some significance, though Dug merely states that .a "street railway franchise dispute" over the rights to use Rainier Boulevard, where his new park was to have been located, caused him to return to the old grounds for "one more year." "rug" may be sincere in his statement, but the Seattle fans would prefer a baseball park some time, and promises don't build bail parks. Walter McCredie declares that it Is his opinion that the four-club circuit will not be as successful as would a six-club circuit. "The fans like to see variety." said Walter yesterday, "and a six-club league is a more ideal circuit than a four-olub affair. The Pacific Coast League always made more money with a six-club circuit than it ever did with four." President Lucas maintains an atti tude of silence on the expansion idea. Ite says he is the "hired man" of the Northwestern League and devotes his entire time and attention to the duties of his position as president-secretary-treasurer of that organization. Lucas does not hesitate to express his con fidence in a most successful season for the Northwestern League, for he be lieves the split week schedule will help Increase the Interest in the games. With two invading clubs at Seattle, Ta coma and Vancouver each week these clubs are home, is expected to increase the attendance at the mid-week games: Charley Graham, the foxy manager of the Sacramento team in the Pacific Coast League, has enrolled two ex Portland favorites on his team this season. "Babe" Danzig, here during 190S. is noted for his batting ability, while the latest addition to Graham's "Senatorial" outfit is "Deacon" E. K. Van Bur en, the veteran outfielder, one of the most reliable on the coast. Van Buren played with Portland during the seasons of 1902, 1903, 1904 and 1905. Van came to Portland from the Peoria club of the Western League. The fol lowing three years Van was with Port land in the Pacific Coast League. MESMIC AND POWELL PUZZLE KlRhters at Los Angeles to Ejiter Ring: at Even Money. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Feb. 13. (Spe cial.) Local bettors are unable to flKure either George Memsic or Lew Powell as belnjr entitled to the post of honor as favorite for their ten-round battle, si-heduled for Tuesday night, and undoubtedly they will g:o , in the rinr at even money, take your choice. Several wnsers have been made at these odds, but the biff bettors on both sides are holding off for better odds and asking 10 to S with Powell an favor ite. None of this kind of money has shown up yet. however, and only piking bets have been made thus far as evens. Both boys wound up their training period this afternoon with bin shows at their training: camps and each ap pears to 'be in splendid condition. Powell was down to the required welftht after his workout today, while Memslo is two pounds over.

"Cyclone" Thompson Is Holding Off for California Offer Morrie .Bloom May Be Called. Nothing definite has yet been ar ranged for the boxing card the Rose City Athletic Club proposes to stage the latter part of this month, but the club is in correspondence with several high class lightweights and hopes to sign them up for an exhibition here about the time scheduled. "Cyclone" Johnny Thompson has not yet replied definitely to the offer made him several days ago, but he has writ ten that he would like to show in Portland. The Rose City Club is under the impression that Thompson is wait ing for a better offer from a California club. Unless a favorable reply is received from him today or tomorrow, the club may close with Morrie Bloom, who' is now in Denver, or some other light weight, to meet either Frankie Edwards or Lou Powell, for both these lads have expressed a willingness to appear here in the near future. Then Jimmy Carroll is at Aberdeen and can be brought to Portland on short notice, and Bobby Johnson wants to show before the Portland fans. John son is the California bantam who has gone the short route with Monte Attell and Danny Webster on several occa sions, and insists he has not yet been defeated. It is possible that Carroll and Johnson will be booked in the event Thompson holds out longer than Is sat isfactory to the managers of. the Port land boxing club. JEFF QUITS SHOW BUSINESS Champion Leaves for West Tomor row to Prepare for Eight. ni'LUTH, Minn.. Feb. 13. (Special.) Saturday was an eventful day for the Jeff-Gotch combination. H. H. Frazee, owner of the show, and Sam Rerger gave a banquet tonight to Jeff and Gotch to commemorate the close of the transcontinental tour.' Jeffries will leave Monday for San Francisco and will soon be in training for his fight with Johnson. Jeffries dined on moose steaks last night, when he was the guest of W. T. Bailey, an admirer of the undefeated Californian, but Jeffries had to make a promise before the steaks were served that he would defeat Johnson in the forthcoming battle. Mr. Bailey is a wealthy lumberman and a hunter of big game. TWO TRI-CITY BASJ3ALL LEAGUE T i : CT? - t i ; I ; ?

TWO NINES HERE TO PLAY Gold Seals One of the Local Con testants, Other Xot Yet Xamed. Springfield, Albany, Eugene Applications Lose Out. The directors of the Tri-City Baseball League have been busy the last few days negotiating with applicants for admission to the league for the coming season. It has practically been decided to include the Gold Seals and one other club In Portland, the Vancouver, Portsmouth. Sa lem and Hillsboro nines. The league directors will hold a meet ing tomorow night in the office of Sec retary Harry K. Smith, to admit formally the teams whose memberships havo been accepted and to name a schedule com mittee. 0 The league directors last night would give no information as to what Portland team will be admitted in addition to the Gold Seals. A decision may be reached at the Tuesday night meeting. It has been decided, however, that only two Port land teams will be in the league. Gata Receipts Bar. j Application was made by Springfield, Eugene and Albany for admission to the Tri-City, but these teams have been dropped from the list because suitable terms regarding divisio-i of gate receipts could not be arranged. There is talk now among the Upper Valley towns of organ izing an Upper Valley League, including Albany, Eugene, Springfield and Cottage Grove. Secretary Smith has written to Walter McCredie for a class D rating in the Na tional Association of Baseball Jeagues. and it is felt certain that the request will be granted. As Portland Is not to have a team In the Northwest League this sea son, the Tri-City will have the use of the Vaughn-street park. Hence the big question of suitable grounds is out of the way. ' The officers of the Tri-City League this season are: President. M. J. Helser; vice president, Fred Valentine; secretary, Harry K. Smith; treasurer, C. A. Part low; manager of publicity, F. W. Gardner. M. J. Helser. the president, has been ac tive In promoting the Tri-City since its organization, four years ago. In 1306 be managed the Hop Gold Amateurs: in 1907 he had the North Pacific team: the fol lowing year he managed the Vancouver players, and last year he had the Albina Red Socks. He has played baseball since he was old enough to go to school. Secretary Knows Game. Harry K. Smith has been secretary of the Tri-City League since it was organ ized. He was also manager of the Brain ard Cubs, and during the last indoor baseball season he acted as president of the city league. He is said to have as good a knowledge of the game as any player on the Coast. He gained a repu tation as a player in Omaha and other cities of. the Middle West. In seeking admission to the league, Hillsboro demanded continuous base ball and It is considered likely that this arrangement will be granted. The team will have a bunch of stars hard to beat. Among them will be Asher' Houston, Benny Briggs, Jack Tauscher and Gordon Brown. T.he Vancouver team will be managed and" captained by Causey, who played first base on the Honeyman Hardware Co. indoor team last season. The stellar attraction of the Vancouver team will be Pender, the southpaw twlrler, who did stellar work last season. The Portsmouth team will play its games in the park at McKenna Junc tion. Salem Fans Many. Salem is counted one of the best ball towns on the list, and the fans there are exceedingly anxious to place a team in the league. The games there, it is thought, will be well supported, as the park is located only four blocks from the center of the city. Woodburn applied for admission, but since its diamond has been made into town lots, it has been decided not to maintain a team. An application from a local negro team was not accepted. The season will open April 3 and will close Labor day. September 5. As the Pacific Coast season does not com mence at the Vaughn-street park until April 19 it is planned to have a series of exhibition games among Tri-City teams during the two weeks' intermis sion. Garrigus. of the Rose City Athletic Club, will manage the Gold Seals. It is probable that Brower, the Gresham catcher last year, will act in the same capacity for the Gold Seals this sea son. A trophy cup worth between $160 and $200 will be awarded by the league to the winning team. Ed Rankin and Charles Moore have been secured as umpires for some of the games. Wtih M. R. Whitehead as one of the prime movers, the Tri-City League was organized in 1906. Fred Gardner, man aging the Schiller. was also active in starting the ball rolling. Next year it is thought the league will be changed to a state league. The Tri-City League last season con- OFFICERS, RECENTLY ELECTED D slsted of four teams: St. John, the Triple Ts, Vancouver and Forest Grove. Vancouver won the' championship and St. John was second.

League to Pass on Contracts. NEW YORK, Feb. 13. The board of directors of the National League will hold a special meeting at the Waldorf Astoria tomorrow to pass on the con tract of William J. Murray with the Philadelphia club. Murray has a two year's contract with the Philadelphia club as manager at a salary of $7500 each season, but the new owners, it is alleged, will not allow him to carry it out. SOCCER REFEREES QUIT SPECTATORS' INTERFERENCE KILLING GAME IN PORTLAND. Portland Association Football Can not Be Kept Clean Unless Some Drastic Action Is Takne. BY JOSEPH M. QtTENTIN. Those interested in keeping the game of soccer, or association football, in this city clear), free from wrangles, and respectable, complain that in sev eral cases lately the noisy portion of crowds has insulted the referee by calling out, after decisions have been given: "What are you paid to referee this game? For what sum have you sold the game? What's your price today?" At least two referees who have served in that capacity, now state that they will never serve again, because of the abuse to which they have been sub jected, and the bad behavior of the crowds. . No soccer referee In this city is ever paid for his work, which' is entirely gratuitous. In speaking of this sub ject last night, an Englishman who has refereed ' for years in big games in England, said: "To ask what money influences a referee in making his de cision, is abuse and should not be toler ated. Such conduct starts fights. Of fenders making such offensive remarks should be given back, their admission money and asked to retire, by the po lice. "Or, a leaf should be taken from English soccer as it is played there. Suppose two teams play, the Rose and Lily. When any person in the crowd insults a referee by hinting bribery, etc., on an occasion where' a decision is made against the Rose club, the referee has power to add one goal to the score of the Lily club. In this manner no club partisan dare insult a referee, or his club will suffer. "The football players themselves ask the crowd not to interfere, as they know perfectly well what action the referee may take. The rose-and-lily plan should be tried in Portland, to protect honest referees and keep the game clean." KETCHEL GO ARRANGED CHAMPION AGREES TO WEIGHT KLAIS HAD EXACTED. Deal to Close Today, Fight to Take Place March 1 0 or 1 1 Man agers to Meet. PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 13. (Special.) All doubt concerning the great bat tle between Champion Stanley Ketchel and Frank Klaus, of Kast Pittsburg, has been dispelled. Ketchel has agreed to the weight exactions made by Klaus and the match will be closed tomor row. The articles stipulate that Ketch el must weigh 160 pounds at 6 o'clock. Each fighter, as well as the National Athletic Club, will post a forfeit of $500 with M. J. Connelly, this forfeit to bind each party to the match to fulfill every condition made. The exact date of the fight has not yet been dedlded on. but the fighters must agree on either March 10 or March 11. Representatives of the Na tional will meet with Frank Klaus and his manager, George Engel, tomorrow, when Klaus will attach his signature to the articles. A copy of the articles has been sent to Ketchel, and they will be signed promptly and returned to Pittsburg. FAND0M AT RANDOM DAVE Dl'GDALE has signed a pitch er named Albert Josselovitz. Aberdeen had a pitcher with the last half of Dug's new phenom's handle, and if the Seattleite is half as good as half his name was last season he ought to draw his salary regularly. In 'view of the fact that Walter Mc Credie has signed a chap named Krat saborg to a Portland contract it would be Inappropriate to -Sympathize with' the Seattle fans in their efforts to pro nounce Josselovitz.

From what we saw of him down here last Summer it is either "solid bone" or "weariness" that ailed the former Tacoma twirler.

O. sign appears of tener after Jeffries' name than it does in the record of the colored man. Joe Levy, the Chicago fistic manager who is handling Morrie Bloom, whom he is grooming to take the champion ship away from Abe Attell. is now in Denver with his entry. Levy wants to get a match for Bloom before either the Rose City or the Oregon Athletic clubs of Portland. Jack Gleason trotted around the cir cuit looking for Jeff and Tex Rickard. and after "seeing" both hiked back to that dear old "Frisco" and reported contentedly that he knew no more about the scene of the big fight than when he started out. Al Kaufman wants a fling at Sam Langford and may be successful in landing the date with the Boston black. Langford is somewhat under a cloud because of his defeat by Jim Flynn, and is bellowing about desiring another match with Flynn. Here's one hot off the hat from Seat tle, where they are now trying to steal Joe Tinker from Portland: Tinker, the great Chicago player, was driven out of Denver by knocking fans and writers. The first day he played there he developed a little case of stage fright, and the next day ha was hammered unmerci fully. The result was that Tebeau was com pelled to let him go. He went to Seattle, where, under different circumstances, he made good with a ruah. Chicago grabbed him. and now he is one of the greatest playera in th country. The above appeared in the Seattle Times yesterday. They'll be claiming Larry McLean, Mike Mitchell, Bill Sweeney. Bobby Groom and a few others yet. However, there are no Seattle recruits in the big leagues. They are too fast for the company. flXlfJKS ssijjeim jo Apoq jtjeAa LATONIA RACETRACK IS SOLD Paris Mutuel System or Betting- May Be Installed. CINCINNATI, Feb. ,13.

In the last two years, however, his health has again been falling, and when seen in San Francisco a few weeks ago by an old Portland friend, be looked but a shadow of his former self. 4 ' j if , i j , - hII 1 Lumber mens National Bank CORNER FIFTH AND STARK STS.
