that 11 will be hard for them to differ

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.

of tha National League to Chicago yes
terday. Manager Frank L Chance re
viewed hbs troubles for tha last law

"I am prouder of tha Cubs than I have
ever been in my life. They have beaten
all records in overcoming obstacles.
"Never befcrV in baseball history has
a team won the pennant in tha face, of
such obstacles and sickness.
"Our regular team has been an avail
able one only at Infrequent Intervals, but
tha utility men have more than dona
their duty. But for Archer, Zimmerman,
Kans and Beaumont, we wouldn't be
champions. I am proud of every one of
them, and I wouldn't trade my substi
tutes for the regulars on any other club.
While tha injury to Johnny ISvers Is a
blow, we have been receiving similar
blowa all tha year, and we can't quit and
give up hope of landing the world's

PARK TO BE FINE
1912 to See Baseball Played
on New Grounds Here.
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
