Clark Griffith said a whole bookful
when he chirped his Washington spiel.
Also ho made It possible for another
volume or two to be written about
"Who'll be in Cincinnati in 19127"
After the "fox" has been placed In a
coffin and burled, so far as Cincinnati
was concerned, he was resurrected and
within a fortnight it was all decided
that he would again hold the mana
gerial reins for Herrmann. The post
mortem spasm, which led to Griffith's
selection as the 1911 Redleg leader,
was caused by a petition sent to Herr
mann signed by every one of Clark's
1911 crew and the subsequent an
nouncement from the magnate that he
was "undecided" whether to fire Grif
fith. Since Griffith knocked the prophecy
in the head by the declaration that he
would be at the helm of the Washing
ton team next season, a host of men
have bobbed up for the Cincinnati Job.
H waa even hinted that Hugh Jennings
would forsake Detroit for the position.
Then John Ganzel. former major
leaguer, but later an Eastern League
manager, hopped Into daylight as a
Cincinnati possibility. Joe Tinker and
Johnny Evers,' both Cubs, are prom
inently mentioned, along with "Kitty"
Bransfleld and a host of others.
Garry Herrmann, the man who will
decide the much-mootad question, Is
saying nothing.

No. 6 Willis P. Salisbury.
WHEN the Pacific Northwestern

all the clubs maintained as small a list
of players as possible. That year Port
land Issued monthly stipends to but
three pitchers and one of them was
Willis P. Salisbury, a steady and re
liable performer.
"Solly," as he was familiarly called
by the fans, was not of the sensational
order, for he was quiet in his manner
isms and deliberate in his actions
when oocupylng the box. He was not
a great curve-ball pitcher, and neither
did he possess speed above the ordi
nary, yet he was a consistent winner,

AMATEUR ATHLETICS
Lincoln and Jefferson second elevens
will meet on Multnomah Field next
Tuesday. Both of these second or-B-anixations
have been doing some good
work, which has resulted in strong
rivalry between the two teams. The
game originally was called for last
Tuesday but owing to the nearness
of the big game, the ooaches thought
best to reserve the men for substitutes.

CHARTER CHANGE URGED
Sheridan Proposes to Revise Docu
ment in Near Future.
i
SHERIDAN, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.)
The feeling that favors a prompt re
vision to the city charter is growing.
At a meeting Wednesday the Commer
cial Qub appointed a committee to con
fer with the City Council at its next
meeting Monday night to formulate
definite plans for organizing a chaitcr
committee which will have power to
submit a revised charter to the voters
of Sheridan.
The matter of a new city charter has
resolved into a faction fight between
the "wet" and "dry" elements and there
promises to be some stirring times un
til the question is settled. At a recent
election a vote on the revision of the
city charter was lost, the principal rea
sons being due to the restrictive liquor
clause in the proposed document.
It is probable that the vote for a
revised city charter will be polled at
the annual city election held in De
cember, as it will take some time to
compile a new charter.
