Nick Williams Fears Recur
rence of Giencke Episode
This Season.
NEED BETTER PROTECTION
Many Yonngtrrs Fail to Have lie
leases Signed by Club Presidents.
Team Managers Take Ad
vantage of Them.
Minor leairue managers frequently
take advantage of promising jroung
ball players by making promises they
do not keep In ordor to Induce them to
sign a contract, and this practice is
now likely to cost the. Portland North
west League team the services of two
clever players.
. The scramble for promising talent
en the part of the lesser leagues, prin
cipally classes C and r. often results
in the complete discouragement of a
ilayer. A youngster Just breaking
Into professional baseball Is Inclined
to take the word of his manager as
gospel truth, yet mere managers have
no standing at all before the baseball
tribunal as comprised In the National
Commission and the National Board of
Arbitration.
.. The Portland Northwestern League
rlub Is against a repetition of the
Kddle Giencke episode which occured In
111. Manager Nick Williams now
stands to lose two of the Colt recruits
signed recently. These players are
Nealon Lynch and Charles Doty, who
are Ukely to be claimed by the clubs
they played with last season simply
because the baseball moguls enacted
a legislative measure several years
ago making all releases tendered play
ers by managers void unless signed
by the president of the club releasing
- them.
Lrsrk Sla-as With Colt.
Outfielder Nealon Lynch, who played
with the Boyne City club, of the Michi
gan State League, last season, and
who was given a release at the end
of the season by Manager Lou Crlger,
the ex-Boston American catcher, signed
a Portland contract with the idea that
this release made him a free agent.
Lynch Is the young Alameda lad
signed by Hal Chase for the New Tork
Americans last season. He was taken
III and was released by Chase, as he
expressed a desire to return to his Cali
fornia home On hts way to the Coast
Lynch was Intercepted by Lou Crlger,
who prevailed upon him to sign with
the Boyne City club with the under
standing that he would be released at
the end of the playing season and that
he could do as he pleased In 111.
Crlger, who ought to have known
better than to deceive a young player,
as be had had years of experience In
the major leagues. carried out his
agreement Insofar as he gave the lad
his release, but the former Boston
catcher neglected to make the release
legal by having the president of the
Boyne City club sign It. as Is expressly
provided tn the rules of the National
baseball organization.
blrarke Caae Duplicated.
The result Is that Lynch has been
notified that Boyne City has disposed
of his services to the Indianapolis
club of the American Association, and,
according to precedent In the Giencke
case, he will have to play with that
rlub Instead of with Portland If the
National Board of Arbitration upholds
the Boyne City team In this repre
hensible practice. It did the Adrian
club In the Giencke case
In the Spring of 111. Kddle Giencke,
of Milwaukee, who had played with
Adrian In the South Michigan League,
reported to Manager Williams with
a written release by the manager of
that club, but the Adrian club pro
tested the release, took the case be
fore the National Board, and because
the president s signature was not at
tached, Giencke was compelled to re
port to Adrian Instead of enjoying a
chance to advance in his profession
with Portland In the Northwestern
League. Adrian is In a class C gue,
while the Portland clob in the North
western organization enjoys a class
B rating, and also affords an oppor
tunity for promising youngsters to
advance higher by making the Pacific
Coast class AA team. A gross Injustice
was done Giencke, and a similar one
la now likely to be done to Lynch,
who hss no desire to play tn the Kast.
He should not be compelled to start
his career In a section of the country
distasteful to him.
When the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues spent a
week in passing new laws, classifica
tions and other matters. It should
have taken some definite action to
protect young ami Impressionable
players from the wiles of unscrupclous
managers.
Defy Case Similar.
Another player has a similar release,
signed by the manager of the Kala
mazoo club. He Is Pitcher Charles
roty, over whom Williams Is likely to
have trouble Doty signed a contract
similar to that possessed by Lynch,
He thought himself a free agent for
11I, so be signed with Portland. The
Kalamazoo club has not yet put In a
claim for him. but. as his name ap
pears on the reserve list of that club.
It Is likely that It will do so.
There should be a remedy for this
evlL Too nwir managers are resort
ing to deceptions In order to array
promising youngsters. When lads slsn
with a club they are tied up for the
balance of their baseball career, no
matter how objectionable conditions
on the club securing them may be A
baseball player Is enslavened enough,
and some sort of legislation ought to
be enacted whereby he might be af
forded better protection.

LEST WE FORGET
What Fersaer Pertlaad Players Are
Kew Dolas;.
No. i7 J. Ira Davis.
WHEN Ike Butler succeeded D. E.
DugdaJe as manager of the Port
land team In October. 1904. the first
man he signed for the team was J.
Ira Davis, who was taken to replace
Jack Holland at first base.
"rflata." as Davis was more familiarly
known, had been playing with the Salt
Lake club but was released by that
team at the end of the season, and re
ported to Manager Butler Immediately
after Dugdale was banished. Davis
waa somewhat overweight and only
played a (air game at first, but he was
quite welcome to Butler, for the Port
land team was milling to take a chance
on anyone at that time.
Davis was somewhat of a comedian
on the bail field and his comical antics
helped to make him lld with the
fans when his playing ability showed to
the bad. He played out the season
under Manager Butler, but was not
fancied by Walter McCredle. who
usurped the reins when he took over
some of the holdings In the ciub at
the conclusion of that season.
The following year Davis took to
umpiring and secured a berth In the
Pacflc Coast League. He was a highly
efficient umpire In every game, but
he spoiled his chances by talking too
much of his antics off the field were
not to his credit. At the end of that
season he was not asked to return, and
went to the Western League. He Is
still umpiring, but each year finds him
In a different organization, and soon
as he shall have run the gamut of
leagues he probably will be out of a
Job, as none of them seem to retain
him for another season
WINGED ' if TAKES

At the regular weekly meeting of
the board of trustees of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletlo Club it was decided
to foster the annual Interscholastlo
track meet In the future, and plans
were" made to hold the next event of
this kind on Multnomah Field on
May 25.
Heretofore this event has been di
rected by the Interscholastlo League,
but the disbandment of this organiza
tion recently caused the clubmen to
usurp the task of conducting the meet.
The clubmen have declared the fol
lowing institutions eligible to enter the
meet, and each Institution will be lim
ited to three entries In. each event:
Lincoln High School, Washington High
School, Columbia University. Jefferson

The clubmen expect to continue
handling the track meet each year.
Multnomah will offer a handsome
trophy or cup for the winning school
team, as well as medals for the indi
vidual winners of events.
The meet will comprise the regular
competitions held under the old rules
of the Interscholastlo League, which
will apply In this meet.
The Multnomah Club is also In charge
of the annual cross-country run held
under the Interscholastlo League pre
viously. This event Is scheduled for
April 1J. While It Is practically cer
tain that Interscholastic League rules

clubmen at a later date.
BERRY AFTER PENNANT
LOS ANGELES LEADER SIGNS
EXPERIENCED PLAYERS.
Boys From Bush Leagues Too Slow
for Coast, He Says Eight
Pitchers on Staff.
LOS ANGELES. Cal. Jan. . (Spe
cial.) Tom Stephens was elected sec
retary of th Angels at the annual
meeting of the association. He takes
the plac of Corney Pendleton, who
has retired from baseball. Henry
Berry and all the other officers of the
club were re-elected.
Berry said today that the Angels
are coming home with the flag next
season. H has a whole herd of new
players. Of his pitchers only one, BUI
Tozer, started last season with him.
Borry will start the season with Halla
and Levereee, left-handers, and Toser,
Slagle, .Nagle, Palmer and Chech, right
handers. "This will be the strongest pitoh
Ing staff we ever had and I believe
it will be the strongest staff in the
league," says Berry.
Among other new players he will
have Core, an outfielder; Paget second
base; Boles, catcher; Brooks, catcher;
Lober and Heltmuller.
Berry says he will not attempt to
discover any youngsters In the bush
this season. "Never again, for me,"
said Berry. "I have tried hundreds of
these youngsfellows and Delhi was the
only one who ever made good. In a
few years he Is going to be a very
famous pitcher. I will retire with him
as my record. This league Is too fast
for young players. You take them out
of the bush and they can't hold the
fast pace."
REVOLVER SCORES ARE HIGH
Portland Marksmen Shoot Well In
Matches With Eastern Clubs.
Portland exceeded all previous team
records for the club when revolver ex
perts tallied 1125 against the Phila
delphia shooters Monday night. The
old record was 1124. The other match
against Boston was also high. 111,
which makes the local men confident
that their record as undefeated will
stand for another week at least.
Hubbard and Armstrong were tried
for high man. both shooting X32 against
the Quaker City band. Armstrong
starred alone with 231 In the second
shoot.
Neither of the two teams met Mon
day have been marked with exception
ally high shooting as has the Portland
team, and there is little doubt but that
the West will be ahead for a while as
yet.

Suggested by Ncvadans. '
l
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 9. A spirit
of bitter opposition to the proposed
Johnson-Flynn boxing bout has de
veloped throughout Nevada, according
to advices received here. Nevadans
bay that any benefits from a battle
staged near the Nevada-Utah line will
accrue to Salt Lake City, while any
odium attached to the fight will re
main with the State of Nevada.
A proposal to call a special session
of the Nevada Legislature to repeal the
law under which unlimited ring battle
has been sanctioned has been discussed
freely among men prominent In poll
tics In Nevada and there Is small doubt
that Governor Oddle will be urged to do
bis utmost to prevent the battle.
Metropolis, Nev.. has notified Promo
ter Jack Curley that the offer of a
site for the fight arena and other In
ducements to bring the battle to that
town has been withdrawn. Wendover.
mentioned by Curley as the site for the
battle, is In Utah, but it la probable he
intends to place the arena across the
