r-Ratification of the double umpire
arstem and the arrangement of a
j scheme wherebr the omplree will have
1 absolute charge of the balls that are
'-to be used In the (imti, were the prln.
clpal mattera agreed upon at -the ad
journed meeting of the director of
the Pad no Coast Leaa-ue today.
- - While It was aurml.ied there might
.be a fight aa-alnst th double umpire
system, still tt had been Intimated sev
eral days ago In an Interview arlven to
the newspapers by Frank M. Is.h that
the new scheme would be carried.
President Baum favored the adoption
-of two umpires for each (came and was
backed up by Henry Berry, the orlic
lnal booster for the double umpire
plan.
There waa a discussion of the merits
of the scheme and. as It waa generally
air ted that the public was In favor of
such a step, there was no dissenting
vote when It came to a final "show
down."
President Baum has already an
nounced his Intention of reappointing
the present staff, consisting of George
Hlldebrand. Eugene McGreevy and E.
V. Finney and will name the other
three men from the Iorg list of appli
cants. No necessity for haste la ap
parent and the exceutlve of the league
will doubtless take his time before an
nouncing further appointments.
- ft baa been generally agreed that
there Is less danger of trouble where
there are two umpires to the game.
One man cannot possibly see all of the
plays and very frequently a play that
the umpire misses results In the wrong
decision.
A slap waa given to gambling in the
nature of a resolution unanimously
adopted. The resolution calls upon the
league officials to bring to the atten
tion of the authorities In every league
city of any betting on ball games, with
the Idea of preventing the practice. It
is set forth In the resolution that bet
ting has a bad effect on baseball and
that the powers will use every effort
to co-operate with the police to stamp
It out. Also, the league directors
promised that they woul'l use Individ
ual efforts to stop gambling In every
possible form.
Hereafter there will be no occasion
for the visiting clube to kick at the
balls that are thrown out to them for
use In the game. The chief umpire will
have charge of the balls. It was voted
that on every league grounds the um
pire will be provided with a sunken
oak box or a heavy grip In which the
13 balls for use during the game are
to be placed, after a thorough Inspec
tion. Also, when balls are returned
to the field, the umpire will replace
the same or direct that they be re
placed. In the past some one In the employ
ft he home club has had charge of the
balls and It has frequently happened
that mushy balls have been tossed cut
to the diamond Just when they would
do the most harm.
Neither Frank Ish. of Pan Francis
co nor Ed Walter, of Oakland, was
able to be present at the morning ses
sion of-he directors, but they were
represented by proxies. Much of the
time waa given over to the Internal
business of the league, such as pro
rating mileage and the like.
Evidently ex-Judge McCredle decided
not to press his plan to-drop Sunday
morning baseball In Vernon. An op
portunity was given the Portland mag
nate to take up this subject but he had
nothing to aay. Happy Hogan had
taken such a strong stand to defend
the Sunday morning games In the
southland, that t ts evident McCredle
thought It would be a waste of time
to enter bis protest.
' A late session waa held tonight at
which the difficult task of arranging
the schedule of games for next season
was commenced.
When the Coast League delegatea
adjourned tonight It was without com
ing to a final conclusion as to the
adoption of an official league ball, or
;the settlement of the schedule. These
natters will come up for nnal disposi
tion at a meeting of the league that
will be held In Los Angeles Monday.
January . It was at the earnest solic
itation of Berry and Hap Hogan that
the league directors decided to gather
In Los Angeles for a session.
-. There were a number of reasons for
postponement of action as regards the
.league ball and the schedule. First
and foremost, there Is a chance that
Cal Ew.ng would like to have a chance
at the schedule. Ex-Judge McCredle
has submitted a form of schedule that
"wl'.l be considered by the league mem
bers, who will be ready to vote In
-January.

of what he terms antiquated rules from

suggestions of President Charles W.
Murphy. of the Chicago National
; League club, at the meeting In New
York next week.
Murphy would appoint a rules com-
' mlttee for the purpose of going through
i the present code and weeding out auch
clauses as appear to be dead Issues and
which are not enforced by the umptres.
He proposes to ask that a committee
composed of four umpires, two from
' each of the big leagues, and three
baseball writers well versed in the
present deficiencies of the rules. re
appointed for thla purpose.
According to the plan, the league
magnates would be given no final vote
In the matter. Murphy says be believes
It la the fault of the club owners that
the code In use has not kept pace wtth
the game.
Commenting on the proposed change.
Cmrlre Hank ODay said:
-It Is Impossible for an umpire to
enforce any rule as now laid down, and
hence If they are not followed they
should be stricken from the rules."

LEAGtES FIRST. MATCH.
Each Grammar School Organisation
Makes One tioal and Plays Con
sistently Throughout,
The first, match In the Grammar
School Soccer League yesterday after
noon on the Multnomah Field resulted
In a one-goal tie between Alnsworth
and Glencoe.
- The Alnsworth team ahowed. the
greater knowledge of the game and on
the day's play deserved a better result,
but all credit must be given to Glen
coe for the exhibition they put up. as
they have not had the experience of
their opponenta at soccer.
In the first half Peck opened the
scoring for Glencoe with a long drop
ping shot, after Alnsworth had had
the greater portion of the play, while
In the second half the latter scored the
equalising goal through W. Thorse af
ter a hot attack.
Both teams played the game In the
right spirit, hot tackling, with no ques
tioning of the referee's decisions, but
all the youngsters must learn to keep
In their places. Then they will find
that better results will accrue with
only half the amount of energy. The

No. 14 William Hogg.
BILLY HOGG, an eccentrlo young
fellow whose home was at Pueblo,
Colo., was brought to the Coast by D.
E. Dugdala to play with Seattle In
101. He waa one of the few pitchers
who, after breaking an arm In throw
ing a ball, recovered and pitched better
ball afterwards.
Hogg died at his Pueblo home three
years ago. It was In 101. while pitch
ing for Seattle against Portland here
that he broke his pitching arm In at
tempting to throw to the batsman. This
retired him from the game that season,
but In 101 he again reported to Seattle
and pitched fine ball. Thla was the
year of the baseball war. and he waa
Induced to Jump Dugdale and Join the
Portland Paclflo Coast team.
Hogg pitched consistent ball for
Portland that season and helped bring
the local club out of the last place,
rut. His pitching attracted the atten
tion of Eastern magnates, and he was
landed by the New Tork Americana.
He pitched successfully several years
for the Yankees. In fact he was a
member of that club when he died of
pneumonia.
While with Portland. Hogg waa
noted for his eccentricities, and in his
career with both Portland and Seat
tle teams he was frequently disciplined
by the management. On one occasion
he had a fist fight with Dugdale. which
waa the real cause of his Jumping the
Seattle club. In August, 101. his failure
to take care of himself caused hla sus
pension by Portland, whereupon he re
turned to his home In Colorado, the
next year going to the big league.
NICK WILLIAMS IS
BUSY WITH PLANS
Arrangements Will Be Made
for Northwesterners to
Train in South.
PLAYERS ARE NOT NAMED
Roadster Oiler Is Silent About HI
191 Lineup Babe Thornton
Will Bo One or Joe
Cohn's Indians.
Now that Portland's Northwestern
League team la a aettled fact, Nick
Williams can go ahead with the sign
ing of his 111 team.
Both President McCredle and Mana
ger Williams have held frequent con
ferences of late regarding the improve
menu to be made In the Northwestern
team and both are quite tfptlmlstlc over
the prospects for the coming season.
Williams got off to a poor start last
season, but made quite a record at the
finish.
Williams figures' next season to have
a fast young team In the field and be
lieves that hla club will be in the race
from the beginning. One thing that
la expected to help his chances is the
fact that his club will train In Califor
nia. Both McCredle and Williams are
tacitly agreed upon this and are look
ing to Salinas as the place to commence
the training atunts of the Northwestern
League Colts. According to present
plana, Nick will begin working out his
players at Salinas two weeks after
Walter McCredle's braves start the pre
liminary work at Santa Maria, and this
may result in a training season game
betweon the two Portland clubs, for the
distance between Salinas and Santa
Maria ia not great.
It (a also planned to play an exnioi
tlon game between the two teams here
In Portland on the first Monday after
the Beavers officially open the Pacific
Coast League season here.
Williams Is non-committal on tne
subject of players at present.. He does
not care to say whether any of the re
served players of last season's club
will be released or retained until he is
satisfied of the number of players he
will s:et from Walter McCredle a array
of Pacific Coast League talent. Before
leaving for California ex-Judge McCre
dle announced that he "might ask for
waivers on certain players in the Bea
ver ranks at present, but would make
no definite statement on this subject.
At any rate, the McCredies and vt m-
lams are going to use every effort to
make a success of the Northwestern
team and they believe that It can be
made to break even financially at the
very least. The club proved a losing
oroDOsltion last year, but the miserable
start it made was greatly responsible
for that, as well as the fact that the
club played so many weeks at Victoria.
When the Northwestern League meets
next week McCredle Intends to Insist
uDon a more favorable schedule than
was Portland's portion last year.

It is not generally believed that

American League team, will offer any
objection, to Fielder Jones accepting
the presidency of the Northwestern

so his acceptancy of the presidency of
the Northwestern organisation is not
likely to bother "Comray" to any ex
tent,
While the Cincinnati club Is noted
for possessing several players whose
habits are more or less uncontrollable,
rumor haa It that a large part of the
dissension prevalent In that club laat
aeason waa due to the addition of two

Wheeler may have been a model ball
player, but that depends upon what Is

any worse as an umpire-baiter than
waa George Hildebrand, and therefore
may make as good an umpire as Hil

ELEVEX ABAXDOXS PRACTICE
High School Air-Stars Will Jfot Play

Seattle's failure to send an all-star
high school team to meet the Port
land all-stars next Saturday resulted
In the "no-game" sign being hung over
Multnomah Field, for yesterday the
Portland high school lads decided not
to continue practice for a substitute
game with the Multnomah Club eleven.
The boys themselves were to take
over the management of this proposed
affray, the entire receipts to go for a
banquet for the coach and for the
sweaters or gold watch fobs for the
lads. They voted the proposition down,
however, likewise a counter offer by

BEES, MANAGER SCORES POIXT
Wattelet Signs Six-Foot Marvel tra
der Hogan'a Xose.
SAN JOSE, Cal., Dec 7. (Special.)
L. A. Wattelet, president of the Victoria
club in the Northwestern League, put
one over on Los Angeles and Vernon,
of the Coast League, when he obtained
the signature of young Erbln Kantleh
ner to a Victoria contract today.
For the past year Kantlehner, who
Is but 10, has loomed in the brush
leagues in this section and Los An
geles and Vernon scouts have been
after him. He is six feet one Inch In
height, weighs 190 pounds and has no
bad habits. Liquor has no temptations
for him and he does not smoke. He's
rangey, has a world of "smoke" and is
a fine hitter. He comes from the
school which turned out Hal Chase,
Harry Wolter and other players now
In the major leagues. .
Wattelet arrived in San Jose today
from the southland, where he at
tended the baseball conference and paid
his respects to Elmer Emerson, who as
a pitcher Is well known in the North
western Coast League. Emerson rec
ommended Kantlehner highly and said
that Wattelet was lucky to sign him.
"He looks like a player' who will
go to the top," said Emerson.
Wattelet has been making arrange
ments for Spring training quarters
here, which is within easy traveling
distance from San Francisco and Oak
land and but three miles from Santa
Clara College. If he decides finally
on thla city, practice games with the
crack teams of St. Mary's College.
Santa Clara, can easily be arranged
also with the Coast League teams of
San Francisco and Oakland.
ROLE CHANGES CERTAIN
WALTER CAMP LATEST TO AD
VOCATE NEW DEAL.
Editor of Guide Book GlTea Wert Xo
Consideration in Picking Ills
All-American Team.
Football is to be thoroughly reno
vated before the Fall of 1912; all the
signs point to that. Walter Camp,
dean of the gridiron experts and editor
of the guide book. Is the latest convert
to a modification of the forward pass
and the lessening of the distance to be
gained from 10 to 7 'or 8 yards on an
Increase in the downs to 4.
Camp came out for the alterations in
announcing his ail-American team,
which, as usual with most Eastern se
lections, almost entirely ignores the
West. Camp's first eleven Is made up
entirely of Eastern players, as follows:
Ends Whit. Princeton; Bomelster, Yale.
Tackles Hart. Princeton; Devore, Army.
Guards Fisher. Harvard; Duff. Prince
ton. Center Ketcham. Yale.
Quarter Howe. Yale.
Halves Wendell. Harvard; Thorp.. Car-
llxle.
Fullfsck Dalton, Navy.
Camp places his son, Walter Camp,
Jr., of the Yale squad, as halfback on
the second string, and from all ac
counts the youngster deserved the
honor.
Camp honored three Middle Western
ers in 1910, Walker, of Minnesota, at
tackle; Benbrook. Michigan, guard,
and Wells, Michigan, end. This Fall
the "Big Eight" must be contented
with two on the second eleven, Scruby.
of Chicago, at Guard, and Rosenwald,
of Minnesota, at fullback.
Only two men are holdovers from
Camp's last year's team. Fisher, at
guard, and Wendell, at half, both Har
vard men.
...
The inefficiency of the present
"sights unseen" method of choosing
all-American football squads is graph
ically Illustrated by a comparison of
the teams selected by Walter Camp and
by Dr. H. L. Williams, coach at the
University of Minnesota, another of the
foremost gridiron men of the day.
Williams chooses four Middle West
ern men, while Hart. White. Howe and
Wendell are the only four men on
whom the two experts agree. All-star
teams are at best theoretical, but it
would seem that the author of the "of
ficial" eleven. If he hoped to retain
that proud position, should mingle
around and see at least the leading
teams of both the East and West in ac
tion. The Northwest has no personal griev
ance coming, for none of Its gladiators
would probably rank up with Howe,
Wendell. Hart, White, or "Big Chief
Thorpe, atlll the anomoly remains.
Camp, it Is rumored, wljl give honor
able mention to Mucklestone. of Wash
ington; Main. of-Oregon, and Niles. of
Whitman, in the 111 edition of his
football resume.
...
Gate receipts at the Thanksgiving
day game in Spokane, when Wenatchee
won the championship of the state. t-S.
totaled 12900. or $100 more than was
taken in at the Washington-Washington
State College game a year ago.
The Washington-Idaho and the Wash
ington State-Whitman games this Fall
fell under $1100.
...
The Northwest harbors three holders
of Olympic field and track champion
ships. Archie Hahn. coach at Whitman
College: Forrest Smlthson, local club
athlete and Oscar Osthoff. coach at
Washington State College. Their rec
ords are as follows:
80-meter dash. 7 s.conds. Hahn. St Louis.
2(0-meter dash. 21 8-S seconds. Hahn, bi.
l"-meter hurdle. IS seconds. Smlthson,
Dumb-bell competition, Osthoff, St. Louis.
An investigation of the full quota of
Olympic records shows that of 38
events the United States holds 22, Eng
land seven, Sweden three, Canada two,
Greece two, Austria one . and South
Africa one. The sensational sprinter
is the South Africa title holder. Walker

Warner and Osthoff Sure to Be

AGGIES WANT BENDER BACK
Former Tutor Who Mad Enemies by
. Hig Stern Football Methods, but
"Made Good" Without
Doubt, Alumni Choice. .
Conference colleges will see two new
football coaches In the Northwest next
Fall, at Oregon and at Washington
State College. W. J. Warner has al
ready retired at Oregon after a two
years' session, but Coach Osthoff has
been quietly drumming up a renewal
of his two-year contract at the Pull
man institution. Now the alumni have
stepped forward with an emphatic
"no."
"Osthoff has not made good with
some of the best material that ever
turned out at Washington State; we
want Johnny Bender back," is the gist
of the alumni demands. Bender stirred
up many enemies while at Pullman in
106 and 1907 because of arbitrary tac
tics, but he did make good. He lost
but one game in the two years, that to
Idaho as a result of over-confidence,
and appears to be one of the few men
capable of giving Dobie a run for his
money.
For the last two seasons Bender has
been coach at St. Louis University and
a 9-0 defeat by Illinois was the only
blur on St. Louis' record of ten games.
Bender closed the season with a mem
orable 6-6 tie with Syracuse, which
defeated Carlisle, 12-11, and tied
Michigan, 6-6. St. Louis' scores for
the Fall are as follows:

University of Washington loses such
stars as Coyle Mucklestone and Grimm
next Fall, and Oregon loses Main, La
tourette, Michael and Kellogg, so that
Washington State, under a capable of
ficial, should be up among the loaders
again in 1912, as Laird is the only
Pullman man to don commencement
rags.
The suggestion has been made that
Bender hold down both the coachship
and the general managership of ath
letics which now pay $1500 and S1800,
respectively.
