The above telegram states Portland s attitude on the case of Gus Hetlinfr. the plaver whose eligibility to play with Portland Is the source of considerable protesting on the part of the Oakland team, the quitter who are contesting the Beavers' right to the championship for this season. McCrrdlcs Are pcterntlncd. Walter McCredle. manr of the Portland baseball team, has been quot d ss Ravins; said he would not play Hetlinar until his status is ascertained, but he refused to admit that he had made any such statement. He stated, however, that Iletllnsj would not be likely to play airalnst Sacramento be cause of his having- been spiked In Saturday's same attaint Oakland, but as Casey Is now available, his services would not be badly needed. Racked up by his uncle. W. W. Me Credle. Walter does not intend to be -buffaloed" by the protests of VToIver lon. and Intcnda to assert his rla-hts In the' matter once and for all. He has never been In accord with tha methods of the California magnates, and has continually registered kicks asjainst J. Cal Kwina- and the balance of the "nve-;o-on" combination. Heretofore Wal ter's obstreperousness has been offset by the diplomacy of his uncle. W. V. HcCredle. but now the two are together on this matter and they intend to sea It '.hroua-h. iietllnir Is the property of the Portland club, and aa such his eli gibility will be asserted by the Mc Credtes at all times. GRAHAM STANDS HIS CROl'XD President of Coast Lea cue Says Erasers Will Not Become Outlaws. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Oct- J. (Spe cial. Judge Graham, president of the Pacific Coast Lnnua. declares that Walter Mct'redlo is laylna- the Port land club open to a deal of trouble with thai National Baseball Commission by defying tha president of the Coast Lea cue with threats of turning out law. The Juuae has been thoroughly aroused by the Northern clubs attitude In the lietllnt? case and passed the word that If Hetling Is permitted to continue in the iuavers lineup, a charge will be filed with the National Commission against tbe Portland club. "One of the objects of the National Commission Is to gain public confi dence and protect the players and clubs alike. It la to secure the advancement of the Ksme In every possible manner and I am surprised that McCredle should take the stand he baa done in the Hetling case. It Is proved almost to a certainty that Hetling Is not elig ible to play with Portland. McCredle la making Hetling stand the blame In the matter, too. and the player Is li able to stand a severe punishment. "If. as Portland has said. Hetling signs that contract with Spokane wlih out the knowledge of the McCredtes, then Hetling is a contract-Jumper and as such cannot play with tbe Beav ers "I cannot understand McCredie us ing Hetling atter I have Instructed him in the casa and if he continues to use him In the lineup. I am going to take it up with the National Commis sion. So far as Portland turning out law, that is absurd on the face of It. Portland cannot Jotn the Northwestern League without the whole organiza tion deserting organized baseball and It Is safe that the McCredles will not leave the Coast League in Its present prosperous condition. "The whole controversy, la to be re gretted, but as president of the Coast Leacue. I am going to do my duty re gardless of threats and the like." I'p to date. President Graham has not offlcally received Wolverton's pro tests of all- games in which Hetling took part, and until the official scorer at Portland delivers the written pro tests to him. the Judge, of course, can not deride whether Portland will lose to Oakland tha three games which Hetling helped win. President Graham refuses to commit himself, but the Oaklands Intend to make a fight for their contention and Portland stands In danger of losing its hold on first place. If the games are awarded to Oakland, the figures stand as follows: Club. Won. Lost. Perct.

While at Seattle. Bums met Mike Fisher, who. with J ease Woods, took a bunch of balltoaaers to tha Orient last Winter, and Burns, after a consultation with Fisher, believes a tour of Australia will be a great thing.

DEAL FOR SITE IS CLOSED Fireproof Stands, Capable of Seating 18,000 Spectators, Will Be Con structed for Use After Next Year McCredles Happy. Portland is to have the finest baseball park west of the Mississippi River when the season of 1912 la opened. For three months negotiations for tbe purchase of what Is known aa a portion of the Terwilliger tract adjacent to the water front In South Portland, have been in progress and in the last few days the deal progressed so far- that tha final transfer of papers and the signing of documents took place yesterday. The sale of the new park, which is owned by the South Portland Improvement Com pany, acting for the Terwilliger estate, was made through the agency of John F. Folen and O. K. Fltzslmmons, realty dealers, .who had been commissioned by the McCredles to look up a site for a baseball park, end. after scouring over the entire city, they finally selected the Terwilliger site. This action was taken last June, but the absence of W. W. McCredle from Portland prevented the deal from going through at that urns, but Foien ec t iix- slmmons secured an option on the plot which held good until the final transfer was ooncluded. As soon aa he saw tha site, Walter McCredle announced that It was the most Weal spot for the purpose, and when his uncle arrived from Washing ton, the two agreed upon it aa the place to locate. Since August, W. W. Mc Credle and his nephew, with the real estate dealers, have been negotiating for this site. W. W. McCredle announces that the Portland park will be modeled after the new grounds erected at Cleveland tor the benefit of the Cleveland American League team, the plans and architectural drawings of which have been lent the McCredles for use In the construction of Portland's park. The grandstand at the new grounds will be a steel frame structure, and at first will be but a single deck affair capable of seating 9000 fans, but will be so constructed that with but little trouble an extra deck can be added, capable of accommodating from 5000 to 10.000 additional. Like the grand stand the bleacher accommodations will be so constructed as to permit of the addition of extra seating room as the occasion may require. This will give the park a total capacity of 1&000. Ail of the construction work at the new park will be of the latest style, and XAMINE a Gordon Hat carefully. What is its most salient point?
