The Portland manager Immediately or
der'd Henderson to report to the Port

wtth whl' b Henderson ran play.
Imbab:y the desortlon of organized
baseball by no other player ever caused
as much Interest so did the desertion of
Portland by Ben Henderson, who at that
time, was at the zenith of his career.
and despite the blandishments of the
Cleveland American Leaxue team, to
mhlrh organization Mct'redle sold him.
Henderson remained with the outlaw
league and thus deprived himself of be
coming one of the most famous pitchers
In tno business.
Henderson Willing to riay.
Henderson, for some unknown reason,
hrld out asaln.t returning to the fold
vntU the present time and now can play
only with the Portland club or nowhere.

MOUNT ANGEL COLLEGE. Mount
Angel. Or, March lSL-Spelal.)-Al-though
Mount Angel College closes Its
basketball aeason this year with sev
eral noteworthy accomplishments t Its
credit. It fell far short of th brilliant
record of last year, when th team
swept all before It- This year tt comes
out with a record of sight game won
and six lost.
Th team was effectually crippled
arly In th season. In a rough and
tumble matrb with Willamette Univer
sity, in which th bis; huskies succeed
ed In crippling three of the collegians
and putting on man. Studer. th cen
ter .out of the game for th rest of the
year, with a broken kneecap. The loss
of Ftuder proved a severe blow to the
team, and Immediately began to count
against them on the score board. Van
Loo. a new man st th game, wa sub
stituted, and later In the season did
some effective work. M. Melchlor was
th only member of th turn left over
from last year.
The first frame of th sesson with th
Christian Brothers' Business College was
Inst, ss was also tbe second gam with
th same players. Th Columbus Club,
of Portland, was twin defeated, as wer
also the Spartans, by heavy scores, th
latter -3 to 10. Chemawa was beaten
once and downed Mount Angel once.
Th collegian tried conclusions twice
with Willamette University, who are far
heavier than the Angels, and play very
rough, but despite this they were given
a Tery close rub and scarcely came off
with victory.
A feat of th college boys that at
traded considerable attention, waa thel
holding down of the Portage. American
champion, aggregation, by a score of 19
to 17. when the same team bad been
defeating aggregations elsewhere by
heavy odds. The Mount Angel Athletic
Club was defeated twice, and several
members of the first team journeyed
to Tillamook during th Christmas holt
days and defeated th Tillamook Com

Buddy Ryan continues to be the life
of the Portland team In aU of the
grames as well ss practices, for the
gingery little outfielder gets more real
fun out of baseball than any two other
members of the squad. He Is continu
ally seeing: the funny side of every
thing, and does not hesitate to call at
tention to the ludicrous incidents, to
the great amusement of the balance of
the team.
Rumors reaching here have it that
another Oakland player has quit that
team, and this lit none other than Harl
Maggart. the dusky-haired left fielder
If Maggart has left the camp, his de
parture will hurt decdedly more than
the quitting of Don Cameron, for Mag
gart was a real ballplayer. McCredie
thinks that Maggart will not remain
out of the game long.
.
Buddy Ryan received a letter from
Gus Iletling, In which the latter says
that he Is getting off good and expects
to enjoy a good season. Last year Het
ling had a "bum peg" when he reported
to Portland, and his injury bothered
blm more or less all season. While
the Beavers want to beat tbe Oakland
aeries, they are hoping that Healing
makes good with that club.
Reports from Ts Angeles have it
that Patterson, the new Vernon firat

Bill Fisher, as he is very weak at field

was a great fielding first baseman, and
if he could bit he would be a star of
the first magnitude.

The writers were agreed that a
