the prealdent. Dr. David Starr Jordan,

Dr. Jordan'a principal objection to

Intercollegiate games.

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.
