stead of J:l. heretofore. The
rhans. In time w dei-lded upon yee
tirrtar br Hum JlrtTfd secretary
of the Portland club. who vi.lted
mill nt the bu.ln-M men of the city
and found iht they were In accord
with the Idee.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon, the final
.ome stand of Walter McCredle and hla
Portland pnr.am-rhwri will be com
menre.l at the Vaughn-street around,
for the management of the Portland
cluh ha- de.lde.1 to start the fames
earlier because of the lateness of the
season.
The first club to make Ita bow to the
Portland far." will be Happlcus Hogans
Vernon team, which hn made a fairly
good showing this season compared to
that made the first year by the Los'
Angeles appendix In the league. Vernon
Is at all times a hnrd club to beat.
-Happlcus" lloicsn Is an astute base
ball man. and one who thoroughly un
derstands the itame. and his club has
proven a thorn In the side of more
than one aggregation In the Pacific
Coast Uague.
Kuilo Shock Due.
Naturally, the Hooligans expect to re
peat some of their earlier successes
against McCredie's brares. but the Port
land team Is coin better rt(tht now
than It has for several months, and
"Happlcus" anl his ambitions are likely
to be given a rude shock.
Some few weeks ago. Walter Mc
rre.tle was In communication with
Henderson and the star pitcher is said
to have Informed the Portland manager
that he waa practically a free accent,
aa the National Commission had told
him that he could finish the season in
the Pacific Coast I-eague. and woold
Iherefore hare to play with Portland.
Mei'redle Started Probe.
McCredle started an investigation on
his own hook and as a result he says
he thinks that Henderson was deceiv
ing him. but Big Mac announced that It
made but little difference to him as he
would protest the playing of Hender
son by any other Pacific Const league
Club, and on that account, he does not
lose any sleep over the pitcher.
Considering the workings of the Na
tional Commission, the average base
ball student Is up against a fine lot
of "dope." Just where an outlawed
player stands with the present base
ball board of control Is hard to fig
ure, for players have been reinstated
and banished In the most unjust man
ner. If Tfyl Is eligible to play with
Oakland. Henderson, as well as Moskl
man and any other outlawed player,
ought to be .eligible to play with Port
land or any other Pacific Coast League
club, ret the National Commission
stands for Pfvl Joining Wolverton's
staff and Henderson Is still without the
fold.
