American League Pays Signal
Honor to Noted Base
ball Leader.
$25,000 JOB FOR 20 YEARS
After Electing One Man to Three
Positions, Magnates Adopt 154
Game Schedule and 20-Year
Agreement.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16. Byron Bancroft
Johnson was elected president, secretary
and treasurer of the American League at
a salary said to be $25,000 a year at the
closing session of the league meeting
toilay.
The agreement under which the league
has existed since November, 1900, was re
newed for 20 years. Johnson's term of
office will expire with the agreement.
In the new agreement, is a clause for
bidding any club owner or holder of
stock in any club to hold shares in any
other club in the league except as an
"emergency measure."
All other articles of the old agreement
were retained in the new one.
Rain Cheeks to Be Uniform.
Uniform tickets with rain checks
coupons, practically the same as now In
use in the National League were adopted.
A schedule of 154 games, opening on
April 14 and closing on October 9, was
adopted unanimously. This schedule was
the only one submitted to the meeting
and was chosen without change.
It was announced that the dates selected
would be retained whether the National
I-reague plays 154 or 168 games.
If the National League selects the
shorter season there will be only ten
conflicting dates, eight In Chicago and
two in St. Louis. "While no official an
nouncement was made that Mr. Johnson's
salary had been increased from 115,000 to
J25.000 it was said on good authority that
such was the case. Mr. Johnson said
that it was a personal matter.
He' also returned the same answer to
the question as to how old he would be
when his term of office will expire.
This is the longest tenure of office tp
which any baseball president was ever
elected. It was made co-existent with the
new agreement. It is understood Charles
A. Oomiskey. of Chicago, and Benjamin
Shibe. of Philadelphia, were the men
behind this signal tribute to Mr. Johnson
as a leader.
The adoption of a 20-year agreement
was said to be in the nature of a compro
mise. Some club owners favored the re
newal of. the ten-year agreement, while
others spoke for a perpetual agreement,
such as now exists in the National
league. This was the main subject of
debate yesterday. The article added to
the agreement forbidding "Syndicate
baseball" reads as follows:
"Syndicate Ball" Prohibited.
"Syndicate baseball is prohibited, ex
cept as an emergency measure and then
only with the consent of the league's
president and directors shall a stock
holder in one club own or control stock
in another club in the American League
under penalty of being voted out and
dealt with as an undesirable associate and
disbarred from, all connections with the
league."
The expected big trade in. which the St.
Iuis club was to be a party had not
developed -late tonight. Several confer
ences were held by the various managers,
but nothing of importance developed.
A majority of the club owners and man
agers left tonight.
XATIOXAIi I.EAGIK DEADLOCK
Schedule Question Situation Un
changed by Ballots.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16. The National
league magnates are still deadlocked on
tlie schedule question.
They convened at 2 o'clock and re
mained in session until tonight unable to
decide on either the 168 or the 154-game
proposals.
Accordingly, at the night session, it was
decidod to turn to a decision of the rules
and to resume the schedule debate tomor
row. A ballot on the schedule showed
that the situation was the same as yes
terday. When today's session began Ebbetta of
Brooklyn said:
"Dreyfuss and Herrmann want a short
schedule because they think they have a
chance to win the pennant. If they
thought they did not have a chance, they
would be for the long schedule.
"Well, then, that means you fellows
have no pennant hopes," said Herrmann
and that started the fight.
Fogel. of the Philadelphia club, was still
in bed with the gout and expressed his in
tention of remaining there until the;
league meeting is over. This will prevent
the settlement of ex-Manager Murray's
claim against Fogel for two years' salary.
President Lynch tonight gave out the
following contracts as approved:

San. Francisco Sports Are Getting
Money Ready for Action When
Southerners Arrive.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 16. (Specials
There, will be lively doings in betting cir
cles next Saturday evening, for then a
very large Los Angeles delegation to the
Nelson-Wolgast fight will arrive in spe
cial cars. They will bring all the loose
change that Is banging around the South
ern city and they will bet It on the little
fighter who calls Los Angeles .his home.
They beliex-e that Wolgast can beat Nel
son and when they start the San Fran
cisco sport9 will be compelled to sit up
and take notice. They remember one
other little cleanup which the Orange
Belters made right here some three
months ago.
Chalky Roberts-, the prominent Los An
geles sporting man, is in town, getting a
line on the layout. He was instructed to
look the field over carefully and size up
the situation. He spent all day yesterday
getting a line on conditions and he tele
graphed back tonight for the boys to
bring all they can lay their hands on and
that it will be covered.
MONTE ATTELL IS CONFIDENT
Little Fighter Begins Training for
Bout AVith Con ley.
LOS ANGELES. Cel.. Feb. 16. (Spe
cial.) Monte Attell and his manager.
Harry Foley, arrived in Los Angeles to
day. The little fighter was looking much
better than when last seen here and was
feeling in the best of spirits. Monte
went straight to his training quarters at
the Oakwood Hotel at Arcadia and be
gan to prepare himself there for his 45
round boxing contest with Frank Conley
at the "Vernon arena February 22.
Billy Oapelle will help him as sparring
partner. In speaking of this, the most
important contest of his career, Attell is
Very sanguine of success, although can
didly acknowledging Conley as a tough
proposition, having seen him beat Jockey
Bennett at Oakland.
"I expect to tuck the Kenosha boy
away inside Of 20 rounds," he said. Asked
as to whom of the two boys he would
rather meet, Webster or Conley, he
quickly replied that It made no difference.
Conley, who was Introduced at the
Powell-Memsic fight last night, made a
hit with the fans-. He looked much dif
ferent than when he fought "Kid" Cleve
land. He appeared in the pink of condi
tion and had no indications of being
drawn rine, and if anything seemed to be
heavier than when he fought the black.
He has the utmost confidence in his abil
ity to trim Attell.
NELSON PUZZLES FIGHT FANS
Davis' Training Arouses Suspicion
of Betting Fraternity.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 16. (Special.)
Is Battling Nelson's weight bothering
him to the point that he is doing but
little training, or is the champion delib
erately cutting down the amount of box
ing in the gymnasium with the idea of
causing the public to be suspicious of his
chances of beating Ad Wolgast?
Right on top of the announcement
made tonight that the champion had
once more knocked off boxing at hts
Colma quarters came word from the pool
rooms that the betting had gone to 10 to
6, at which price a considerable bunch
of Wolgast money was unloaded.
Both the Dane and his manager have
let it be known that Nelson's teeth have
been troubling him to the extent that
he was obliged to drop his work, but
there is more than a lingering suspicion
that the light weight of the champion has
had a great deal to do with it.
Ask Nelson about the gossip and he
shrugs his shoulders and says that his
weight is absolutely under control and
that he knows his own business.
COULON-WEBSTER BOUT OFF
Bantam Champion Declined Offer
for. Portland Fight:
NEW ORLEANS, Lai, Feb. 16. (Spe
cial.) E. B. Coulon, father of Johnny
Coulon, the bantamweight champion of
the world, stated here today that Coulon
had declined the offer of Ianny Webster,
sent from Portland, Or., for a fight in the
Pacific Coast town.
Coulon said that when he wanted to
fight Webster before, the latter could not
make less than 116 pounds, and that there
was not any use In dickering with him
when Webster could not make the weight.
Coulon wants 112 to 115 pounds. Coulon
will leave here Monday for the East,
where ha will have several scraps.

with all its varying pleasures.

OLSON HOLDS OUT fs
Portland Team Manager Not,
Worrying. J
ALL MEMBERS SIGNED UP
Armbruster and Gnyn Place Names
tq Contracts Perring or Nichols,
of Cleveland, May Hold Down
the Shortstop Situation.
BT W.' J. PETRAIN.
"When Charley Armbruster and Howard
Gnyn annexed their signatures to con
tracts for 1910 with the Portland baseball
club the other day. Manager McCredie
heaved a sigh of satisfaction, for It left
him witJi only Ivan Olson holding out
from putting his "John Hancock" to a
Portland contract for the coming season.
The tall manager is not losing any sleep
because Olson chooses to hold out, for he
is fortified against handicap by the loss
of this player through the offer of the
Cleveland American League, team which
offers Portland the services of either
"Nig" Perring or Charles Nichols, both
of them speedy shortstops. In the event
that Olson refuses to report.
Manager McCredie received this good
news from Cleveland yesterday, and while
he is an ardent admirer of Olson and
the work of that player, he says he will
close with Cleveland for either Perring or
Nichols sooner than take any chances on
the Kansas lad putting a hole hi the
Portland infield.

McCredie Won't Be Held Up.
"I like Olson and his work immensely,"
said Walter McCredie yesterday, "and I
think he is one of the best young players
I have seen in the last five years. Still,
I do not Intend to be held ip by him, or
have my team crippled by the lack of a
shortstop in the event that he persists
in holding out. I know that he is an am
bitious player and wants to go to the
big league, and I would not put anything
In his way of advancement, yet I do not
Intend to yield one Inch to any of my
players.
"I have offered Olson a contract which
calls for as much money as he could get
from any club in the country at the pres
ent time, and I . think I have done all
that I am called upon to do In this re
spect. Olson has not shown himself to
be much of a batter, while both Nichols
and Perring are good - hitters, so if Olie
wants to kick over the traces, let him
go as far as he likes. Portland will not
be much the loser."
"Nig" Perring has been the substitute
lnflelder with the Cleveland American
League team since the Fall of 1907 when
Napoleon Lajoie secured him from the
Toledo club, of the American Associa
tion. With men like Terry Turner and
03111 Bradley playing third base and short
stop for the "Naps," Perring has not had
much chance to get Into the game regu
larly, though he has played fine ball for
Cleveland when he did have the chance.
He is a short, rugged little fellow who
possesses a good, accurate throwing arm,
and Is speedy on the paths as well as
being able to hit the ball.
Charley Nichols is the young speed
marvel picked up by Connie Mack, of the
Philadelphia Athletics from the Tri
State League a year or so ago. and who
was sent to Cleveland through the waiver
rule in the big leagues. In the event that
either Nichols or Perring comes to Port
land, the Cleveland club will retain the
option of repurchasing the player be
fore the drafting season opens.
All Ready for Practice.
Jesse Garrett, Howard Guyn and
Charley Armbruster have been working
out every day at the Portland Y. M. C.
A. during the" past few weeks, and all
three are In fine shape to start the Spring
practice season. Manager McCredie and
Perle Casey have done most of their
work at the Portland Athletic and Swim
ming Club, of which organization Trainer
Cornell has been Instructor. All of the
players are anxiously waiting for the
arrival of next Tuesday when they em
bark for California.
Frank Turk and Al Lodell. the two
Portland -boys who are to accompany
Walter McCredie to the training camp,
have been signed with the understand
ing that McCredie places them with some
good club In the event the Portland club
cannot use them. Manager McCredie be
lieves both lads are coming stars and
will give them a good tryout with the
Portland club. According to McCredie, he
already has berths arranged for both
Turk and Lodell in the California State
League In the event he cannot use them
himself this season, but he says that
when he does let them go It will be with
the understanding that he has first call
on the two youngsters for the Portland
club.
"It Is about time Portland was produc
ing some good players," said McCredie
yesterday, "and I think Turk and Lodell
have the goods. AH they need is a
chance to show what they can do, and I
think I can place them In a position to
show to advantage. Both lads are am
bitious, and their records last season is
enough to satisfy me that they can play
the game. Ail they lack now is seasoning,
and I think they will get that in a State
League berth If I cannot use them my
self this season."
