It Is said, from the campus of Letand Stanford University. Both the prealdent. Dr. David Starr Jordan, and the chairman of the committee on athletics. Dr. Frank AngelL are opposed to its contlnuanee. Dr. Jordan'a principal objection to tha game Is said to be tha bickering and peralstent efforts to confuse the pitcher that ha has noticed In recent Intercollegiate games. Dr. Angell said In an Interview last alght: "A large n timber of the Stanford faculty, probably a majority, are In favor - of aboliahing Intercollegiate aporta of all aorta.

Old War on Portland Is Seen In Inconsistency of Allowing Cer tain Players lo Come Into Fold and Not Star Beaver Pitcher. BY W. J. )TETRAIN. Once more a cog seems to have slipped somewhere In the construction of base ball law relative to the status, of tha former outlaw players, for Benny Hen derson, after reporting to McCredle with permission to play with Portland, has been declared Ineligible and the permis sion given him is cancelled. ' The deal looks queer. Something Is rotten somewhere in the laws by which the National Commission or the Na tional Association of Professional Base ball Leagues construes tho eligibility ot players. Henderson reported in Los An geles with a telegram from Secretary Farrell. of the National association, re storing him to good standing on the basis of the ruling of the National Com mission which permits Tommy Sheehan snd Walter Kuhn to play with Portland, and Monte Pfyl to play for Oakland, and he no sooner shows signs of getting back into his old-time form when a counter message comes declaring a mistake had been made in his case and he is in eligible. Action Not Consistent. The action is not In accordance with consistency, nor do the circumstances surrounding the cases of Henderson, who seems to be ineligible, and Sheehan or Pfyl. who are eligible, vary to any great extent. Besides.- as far as Henderson's case Is concerned, the very club with which he was playing Is the one original ly offended by his disregard of the rules at the National association. It would seem that if the McCredies were willing to take Henderson back into the fold when other former outlalw players are permitted to play. Hen derson ought to be eligible to play with Portland. Cal Ewlng and Danny Long have Juggled baseball law. as far as the National association is concerned. Just about aa they pleased in the past, snd it would not be surprising eventually to discover the fine hand of either of these worthies behind the reconsideration given Hendersor's reinstatement. 'Ewlng snd Long Responsible? Messrs. Gwing and Long, who were behind Judge Graham in instigating the Hetltng decision, tiave not forgotten that reversal and are not averse to getting back at the McCredies if such a thing Is possible. Ewing has time and again gone before the National association and twisted that organisation around to suit Ms will.. His greatest coup was In hav- Ina the association receive the almost defunct California league Into the fold and the former outlaw league lasted un til about July 4 and went up like a sky rocket, and some of the players like Sheehan. Kuhn, Pfyl. Hackctt. Hender son. Mosklman and others were out In the cold. Sheehan was granted permission to play out the season with Portland, but Henderson did not apply for reinstate ment on any grounds whatever. The boon granted Sheehan was again ex tended this season, but the treating of Henderson with similar consideration does not seem to meet with the approval of the powers that be. Why are their cases different? Is It because Hender son might help Portland? Under such circumstances we might expect to hear at any time that both Kuhn and snee han are also Ineligible. When asked what action he would take in the matter. Judge W. W. McCredle last night announced that he would make no statement until after he hears from Waiter McCredle, manager of the Port land team, and Ben Henderson, the pitcher involved. CASE MAY BE HEARD IX COURT Long Declares He Had Nothing to Do With Henderson Reversal. SAN FRANCISCO. April 4 (Special.) The announcement . front the Eastern baseball powers that the reinstatement of Ben Henderson. Insofar as playing with Portland is -concerned, has been cancelled is news to the Pacific Coast people. A copy of the letter that was sent to Edward R. Altaseu. of Oakland, attorney for Henderson, was forwarded to Long for filing, as secretary of the Pacific Coast League. Long says that It was news to him and that he had taken no hand in the matter one way or the other. He aaya also be la as much at sea as any one else as' to who called the attention of the National Commission to the fact that Henderson, because he Jumped a pacinc Coast club, was ineligible to play in this league. a Ira In tMnv'i mall there came -Xo J. Cal Ewlna. from August Herrmann. of the National Commission, an official promulgation that Henderson cannot play within the ranka of organised baseoaii. It is figured that at the outset Secre tary Farrell. of the National Association of Minor Leagues, declared that Hender son had been reinstated under a mlsap- prehension and that tho commission has forced him to retract. Attorney Alias em aald tonight, with Henderson willing, he would take the case Into one of the Federal courts to fores, if possible, the reinstatement of tha player. , GAME LICENSES DECEPTIVE Old Laws Printed on Forms Issued In Some Coui-tles. SALEM! Or.. April 4. (Special.) County clerks in some counties are now ssulnar hunters licenses upon wnicn are printed the game laws of the past few years and which allow the shooting of Chinese pheasants during a certain sea son. Inasmuch as the new law protecting pheasants for two years will go Into effect May 20 and thus eliminate all shooting of 1 pheasants of this kind. sportsmen are requesting -County Clerks to scratch from the law printed on the license that part relating to Chi nese pheasants, lest many hunters will be misguided and shoot the protected birds.
