Determined that the Northwestern
League shall enjoy the moil successful
Maun In ita history, if inch be pos
sible. Fielder A. Jones, the new presi
dent of that organization. In an es
rluslre Interview to The Oregonlaa.
yterday told of his plana for the year.
The ex-leader of the Chicago White
Fax hae his own Ideas about running
a league, which, in a measure, accord
ing; to Jones, should be arulded very
much on the order of a successful base
ball club. Jones was a success
f ul leader of a ball club, and that
he will prove equally successful at the
helm of the Northwestern League Is
confidently believed by his many friends
and admirers throughout the United
Ftates, and especially In this vicinity.
As soon as he was chosen chief execu
tive of the Northwestern League Jones
Immediately held a conference with the
club owners, and urged ail of them
to be sure to secure the services of a
good baseball manager to handle their
clubs, for he argues that, no matter
how -classy" the caliber of ball play
ers aligned with any club, auccess de
pends upon clever handling.
0o4 Maaasera Arc Few.
In his opinion there are but four real
good managers In the major leagues to
day, and three of them, he asserts, are
at the helm In the National League,
while the other is the Invincible Connie
Slack In the American circuit.
The National League leaders who
are credited by Jones as being success
ful leaders are Frank Chance, of Chi
cago; Fred Clarke, of Tlttsburg. .and
John J. McGraw. of New York. Jones
does not credit Hughey Jennings with
being a managerial auccess for the rea
son that Jennings baa been in charge
of the beat aggregation of baseball
talent In either league, and baa failed
to capture the world s championship.
In the Northweatern League during
the coming season President Jones In
tends to have the best umpires pos-
ihl. to secure, for he argues that good
umpires are equally aa essential as
good managers In a league a suct-r.
He figures that the Seattle and Vic
toria clubs will be helped considerably
by the singing of Jack Barry and Tom
my Sheehan. both of whom he consid
ers capable men. and adda that one or
two of the other clubs would Improve
the league by Importing first-class
managers to handle their teams during
the coming season. He thinks that
Nick Williams and the SsVCredles will
have successful teams In Portland.
Mar Mot Caafli-sa Dagdale.
Jones Intends to select carefully all j
Ma umpires. He has applications iroiu
number of high-class men and. In
the event that he secures these men.
the umpires named as having been
signed by Acting President Dugdale
last Fall will not be signed by the
new executive. Jimmy Toman. Jack
O'Toole and Richard Monoghan were
the trio slaved by Dugdale. but Presi
dent Jones Is not acquainted with the
work of any of them and. aside from
Toman. It Is not likely that their ap
pointment will be confirmed by the
new president.
italph Frarr. the former Northwest
ern League umpire, has been tendered
a contract by President Jones and so
far this Is the only upmire Jones Is
willing to admit as likely to Be on
Ms staff. The other two offlclala are
high-class men and In the event that
lie falls to secure either one of them
lie may give Jimmy Toman the posi
tion. -Mv ambition Is to make the North
western l-aegu,e a popular organisa
tion." said Jones yesterday, "and to do
this I must first secure the services
rf the best umpires I can obtain. A
laseball league muot be run efficiently
Just aa must a baseball team, and I
fully expect to have three of the best
umpires In the country on my staff
next season. Another thing that will
help me make the league as success
ful as I want It to be mill be the Im
porting of good baseball managers to
landle the clubs. In signing Jack
Harrv and Tommy Sheehan the Seattle
and Victoria clubs are following this
Idea. I think both of them will be
successful and improve the standing
of the game played In the circuit In
11J. , .
-tiood baseball managers are hard
to fln-L There are but four. In my es
timation. In both major leagues who
can be styled good managers, and
three of them are In the National
league. Connie alack Is the American
league's successful manager, while
Fred Clarke. Frank Chance and John
J. JIcGraw are the National's trio."
How about Hugh Jennings?" queried
a fan.
Jraalaaa Net Real .
"I do not consider Jennings a suc
cessful msnager, for he has had the
best baseball aggregation In either
league under hira for five years, and
lias failed to land a single world's
championship. With that club he
should hae been a five-time winner,"
essertg Junes.
"A successful manager." continued
Jones, "is a man who gets results all
the time. Take Chance, McGraw ani
Clarke, aa well as Connie Mack. Thev
lave bad their clubs In the race ail
the time, no matter how changed thev
may have become each season, and
that is what I call success In handling
baseball clubs. Jennings' team should
tue mon five straight times. et thev
were victorious In the American
League but three times, snd fe.l'ed to
win' a single worlds championship.
Tvtrolt possvd the best material In
either league during that period.
-The same arPiies to the Pacific
Coast League. Walter McCredle Is the
most successful manager In this cir
cuit. This Is emphatically demon
strated by comparing McCredte's tac
tics to those of Charley Graham at
hacramento. The latter has practically
ttia same kind of a deal with H:on
t."iat McCred.e has with Cleveland, yet
compare the relative positions, of the
two clubs, snd jou have the answer.
Next to iicCredie. I consider Wolver
ton the best man the Pacific
Coast League bad. for he made the
Oakland club a uccesfi:l team for the
tmo seasons he wa at the br'm there.

demonstrate my claims.

OTHER RUMORS PUNCTURED
Heavyweight Belt-Holder Complains
That Every Obscure Pugilist la
Talking of Boat With Him
for Publicity's Sake.
CHICAGO. Jan. J. "I'll fight Sam
McVer In Paris on the night of the
Grand Prix. I think June 23, nd I'll
fight Flynn lonw time- before) that,
either in New York or In Nevada."
Champion Jack Johnson tonight thus
outlined the pugilistic situation regard
ing the heavyweight championship.
"There has been so much stuff pub
lished. It la hard to tell where I am
at." continued Johnson, "and I want to
straighten It up. Every manager of
a fighter who by the widest stretch of
the Imagination might be called a
heavyweight has been seeking pub
licity for his man by a lot of talk
about a match with Johnson.
"Johnson has two matches coming
the two I named, and no more. When
there are more. I'll announce them."
The champion said the McVey ar
ticle would be signed In legal form
tomorrow and that the Flynn contracts
would be signed soon after.
The town of Metropolis. Nevada, ia
to be a metropllls for one day when
plans drawn up tonight by Jack Cur
lev, acting for Jim Flynn and Jack
Johnson, materialise. The negro
heavyweight pugilist agrees to make
one more trip to Nevada and to put up
another light. Jack Curley convinced
Johnson that his title was not In dan
ger and that Jack could pick up aome
easy money on a to-round go with Jim
Flynn at the until now unheard-of
town 111 miles from Fait Lake City.
Incidentally LI'l Artha is to get the
anug sum of $30,000 for his services
before the contest begins. A deposit of
110.000 will be made In a Chicago bank
within a few days and the remaining
thousanda will be on exhibition some
where near the scene of the encounter
a few days before the set-to.
It Is not known Just whst day the
affair will be staged, but It is thought
that February 12 will be chosen.
Johnson received word tonight from
Tommy Andrews, the American repre
sentative of Hugh Molntosh. that it
would be impossible to hold the Johnson-Sam
McVey bout In Australia, be
cause of public feeling. Mcintosh
hopes to stage the affair in Paris on
the night of the Grand Prix.
Andrews asserted tonight that Mc
Vey and Sara Langdon had been
matched for a return bout January 2
and that the winner of this argument
would be pitted against Johnson in a
bout.
FIGHT 1ET.ILS ARE ARRANGED
Other Bouts May Interfere With
Johnson-Flynn Mill.
CHICAGO. Jan. X. It appeared today
that there might be delay in signing
the formal articles of agreement for a
fight between Jack Johnson, the
world's heavyweight champion, and Jim
Flynn; who aspires to that title.
Both Johnson and Jack Curley. who
la representing Flynn. admitted that
the terms tiO.OOO purse, generous
training expenses and third Interest
In the moving-picture contract were
mutually agreeable. Curley. however,
declared that the staging of the bout,
which is scheduled for June or July,
at some place In Nevada, near the
Vtah line, waa somewhst contingent on
the other contests wbirh Flynn is ar
ranging for the next two months.

Palxler In New Tork February S or

bility thst Flynn may put on the gloves

whether the Tueblo fireman will step

COONEr Starkells. a big. husky
young athlete, was a naUve of Ta

as a pitcher while hurling for a semi
professional team In that vicinity In
1SS1. which earned him a chance In
the Northwestern league In 1S:. when
he Joined the Tacoma team for his
first professional engagement
He had a varied career In that cir
cuit for two seaions. when Dugdale
brought him to Portland. While here
the big fellow pitched good bail, but
like all of Dug's pitchers that season,
be had difficulty In winning, for he sel
dom entered the box with the same
lineup behind him. Starkells loomed
like a promising baseball star, for he
waa a big fellow, possessing a m-orld
of speed and good curves. While with
Portland he was fairly popular, despite
his frequent losses, but Walter Mc
Credle. when he assumed the helm of
the team at the end of the Dugdale
regime In 104. allowed Starkells to
meander elsewhere.
After leaving Portland he waa never
more than fairly successful, though he
did get a chance with the New York
Americans through having enjoyed a
successful season with Aberdeen in
He lasted but a short time in
the "big show and returned to the
Northwestern League later. He had
lost his cunning aa a pitcher, and after
trying tile outfield and first base po
sitions, he finally gave up playing and
took up umpiring. He waa not much
of a success st this game, for ha lasted

COYLE NOT BLAMED FOR LOSS
Seattle Quarterback Took Safety
Rather Than Touchdown.
"Wee" Coyle, stellar quarterback on
the Seattle All-Star football eleven
which met defeat by Multnomah on
New Year's day. 3 to 0. was not at all
to blame for the safety which result
ed when Tackle May threw him across
the goal line and won the game for
Multnomah.
Hamilton Corbett, famous Harvard
backfleld star, who. In his capacity as
field Judge in the battle, stood within
RY
10 feet of the play, declared yesterday
that the ex-Washington University
captain used his brain matter to the
bitter end. but the odds of ill-luck
went against him.
"When the ball hit the ground about
on the five-yard line, Coyle backed 'JP,
figuring on its going across the line
for a touchback," explains Mr. Cor
bett "On the third bounce, about
the two-foot line, however, the oval
hit on Its point and richocheted back
ward, thus forcing Coyle to grab It
Just in time to prevent the Multno
mah ends from doing the same thing
and going over for a touchdown. '
Coyle himself gives this same ver
sion and admits that there could be
but one decision on the play, a safety.
The Seattle huskies reached their
Seattle haunts yesterday morning and
reported a pleasant trip to Portland.
Vic Place Informed Seattle writers of
how he forced Center Cherry, of Mult
nomah, to discontinue holding tactics.
"Cherry held continually in Seattle
and began this same stuff on Multno
mah field without the umpire getting
wise," said the Dartmouth veteran.
"There's Just one thing I will not coun
