B THE MORXiyO OREGOyiAN. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1912. X ,' JOES APPLAUDS GREGG, HOLDOUT Northwestern League Head Says $5000 Not Too Much for Star. NEW LEAGUE IS APPROVED Chicago and Other Big Eastern Cities Held to Be Ready for More Baseball Lack or Players Thought Drawback. BT ROSCOE FA WC ETT. Fielder A. Jones, president of the Northwestern League, takes a view of the Vean Gregg hold-out situation dia metrically opposed to that advanced by Walter MeCredie. Portland manager. Jones believes Gregg Is worth liOOS salary to the Cleveland Naps for 111 and that the ex-Portland southpaw Is wise in holding out against the IJS00 contract offered by Charles Somerm. Gregg's obstinacy in agreeing to terms is eating up much space on the tporttng pages all over the country and for this reason the opinion of the for mer Chicago White Pox leaders will add much interest to ths symposium, for Jones has seen baseball from almoit every conceivable angle. "What's the difference whether a flayer Is Just starting ott or whether ba has grown gray In the service and Is passing away?" declared President Jones. "Gregg has delivered the goods and until he besins to decline he is worth exactly whatever service he gives the club, no matter whether he Is a youngster or whether ba has been with the team for IS years. Gregg's Ant Already Bad. .-"Gregg will hardly last long, for he is complaining of a bad arm already. Therefore It s up to him to make them pay Just what he's worth now. Age shouldn't count. It's the work he does. The Cleveland owners are naturally kesltant about raising him so strong aw for they figure on steady Increases very season with their stars and that would make him a rather costly asset In a few years." : A Cleveland newspaper has figured ut that In the It games of the 77 the Naps played at home, in which Gregg pitched, the attendance averaged . against J4 on other occasions, or an Increase of something like fSO per game. Computing out to the nth de gree the Nap statistician shows that Gregg added close to I1J.00O to the ex chequer and Is worth far mora than the 15000 which ha demands. Disregarding these figures, for they are probably about as accurate as In most any guessing contest, the fact re gains that Gregg was a top card while wltn the Naps last season, and. while Walsh. Mathewson and Walter Johnson pitched more games for their clubs. It remained for Gregg to cop off the larg. st percentage of games won. And ability ahould figure to soma extent. Baseball Ret arm Large. ? It takes much money to run bail teams, but the returns are Just as ample as In any hard-ftated business proposi tion and the few stara who bring In the money are entitled to their wage. Mike Doalln lamented this fact while In vaudeville. .contrasting the ball field with the stage, where.- ha pointed out. the stara receive almost double the amount paid any ball player. . From the standpoint of the fan Gregg has the Indorsement of perhaps 95 per cent, of those who support the game. In Ms efforts to make the big league own ers toe he chalkllne. And those who know the Idaho wizard real well believe that his yielding will ba akin to that of a 12-Inch battleship armorplate In deadly duel with a duck's egg. Gregg has held out before and Cleveland knows It, so we ran look for a cheerful changing from Culdesacwarda almost any day. Sw Leagae Aaalaadea. President Jones holds other views not quite In accord with those of the East ern baseball moguls. Fcr instance, fielder believes that there la room for the third big league launched In Chi cago on Saturday night. He doesn't predict success for the venture because that depends on the amount of finan cial backing and the brains In the man agement, but he does think there Is a field for the Columbian League. "Chicago, on a Sunday, with the Cuba and Sox and semi-professional teams hitting the clip, turns out from 150.000 to 1CK,000 red-hot fans." said Presi dent. Jones. "That number should be able to support another big league club. Let the league grab off all the open dates possible la the other cities and I think it will have excellent chances of swinging to a safe harbor." Mr. Jones does not believe there are enough major league players right now to recruit eight additional teams of American or National League caliber, but he points out that the same argu ment waa aounded when the American League branched out. The Columbian will mean more stations and better op portunities for minor leaguers, and faster baseball. ALLEY TO REPRESENT NORTH Rowbnrf Horseman Will Attend San Francisco Meeting.!

ONE of the few left-handed pitchers who made good for Portland since that club affiliated with tha Pacific Coast League, was Bert Jonea. who waa cast off by the Oakland Club In 104 and joined Waiter McCredle's Beaver squad In 1905. That season Jones was a real come back, for ha pitched fine ball all the way and waa rated aa on of the most successful twlrlers of the circuit by tha Portland fans, with whom he was pop ular. At that time Jonea was some thing of a veteran In basball, for ha had had several years' experience in the major league, aa well aa having pitched for several Western league clubs be fore joining the Oakland team In 1904. Jones was one of the few soutlfpaws who can be styled evenly balanced, for he was a quiet, easy-going fellow who was not given to eccentricities. Jones first cam to the Paclflo Coast as a pitcher for the San Francisco club, but was turned over to Oakland shortly after the season of 1904 com menced and finished the year with that team. In 105 Walter McCredle de cided that ho liked Jonea well enough to make him a. Beaver, and the left hander came to Portland and Imme diately won a home hero with tha fans. In 1S0S McCredle released Jones snd he went back to the Western League, where ho enjoyed several good seasons and eventually retired from baseball to enter the cigar business at Omaha. He is still In that city In the amoke dis pensing business and occasionally writes to friends hers telling of differ ent incidents of old.

Y - "JOKE OF CENTURY" j MAY DIE UHPLAYED Johnson-Flynn Farce Finds Little Favor Anywhere. Curley Scores Heavily. O'ROURKE GETTING INFIELD Sacramento Manager Says He Will Have Shlnn and Thomas Again. Lehr, New Iftflelder, Is Promising Recruit. Judging from ths hue and cry raised by prominent fletic experts and sport ing editors generally, there Is every reason to believe that the proposed ' . M i "... i.. i EORGE JOHXSOX, BROTIIF.lt OF THE FIGHTER ( JACK JOHNM., WILL JIM FLY.VN, FRANK BlRl S A.D JACK CIHLEV (SITTING). "fight to a finish" between Jlm'Flynn and Jack Johnson never will mater allze. Sentiment la so unanimously set against It that an attempt to stage the farce undoubtedly would result In a miserable failure. Many fight follow ers are Inclined to take the proposition as a huge Joke and venture the asser tion that It will die a natural death. Jack Curley tried to add a tone of serlousnesa to the affair by announcing that Jimmy Coffroth would have the mlx-up. Even with the king of fight promoters back of It, the bout never could get rid of its appended title, "the Joke of the century." Coffroth has not evidenced any particular desire to min gle in the affair, and It is doubtful If he could be Induced to take it up, un less publlo opinion takea a decided switch. When all the "roasting" and "pan ning" has been done however, you will have to hand It to Curley. Flynn has been raised from a rank outsider to a possibility" by Curley's masterstroke. The Pueblo fireman's prestige has been boosted and he ia getting reams and reams of publicity in the East, where he undoubtedly will be In great demand for short bouts as a result of the one put over by his manager. Patsy O'Rourks will not want for material when he begins to weld to gether a team to make the fight for the 1912 Pacific Coast League gon folan. The peppery Sacramento man ager was not a bit idle while In the East, and returned with the promise of several good men. When Boston cut a wide hole In Sac ramento's infield by taking Danzig, Shlnn and Thomas, many wondered what the capital city manager would do. O'Rourke announces that both Thomas and Shlnn will be turned back to him, and that if Jimmy is not, he has an Inflelder named Lehr, who batted .S2T In the Western League, and stole a string of bases last year, coming from the Philadelphia Nationals. Hugh Miller will grace the Initial sack. He Is described by O'Rourke as being a second Hal Chase, fast on the bases and in covering first, and is a natural blngler. Keaney, an Inflelder, will come from the Phillies. Cheek, an Eastern League catcher, and one of the best In the business, according to O'Rourke, will be 1th Sacramento. Patsy also announces that Pitcher Mahoney and Shortstop Lerchen have been released by Boston to Sacramento. The Sacramento Club will do Its training at llarysvllle. If one Is to credit the ravings of the big league managers, there will be an army of Vean Greggs, Joe Jacksons and Grover Alexanders discovered be fore 1912 slips by. Nearly every man ager has two or three "whirlwinds." Yet even with the optimistic forecasts, it Is doubtful If such a fine crop of youngsters will be developed during the coming season aa there was during 1911. It Isn't very often that so many live ones are produced as were last season, and for this very reason the 1912 campaign may fall to show any startling stars among the Juniors. Just look at the gang of healthy young ban dits that were hatched In 1911: Alex ander, Chalmers, Grecg, Jackson. Es mond, Klrke. Benton, Humphries. Mar sans, Almedla, Saler, Cashlon, Galnor, Doyle. Drake. Bodle. O'Briem- Danforth, McCarthy. Secereld, and others. Is there much chance that the new crop will average as well aa these performers? If so. the old adage about "youth must be served" will be verified with a ven geance, and two or three seasons mors will find the kids dominating the whole world of baseball. "Knockout" Brown, of Gotham, stren uously protests ths list of eleglblcs to participate In an elimination tourna ment to decide who has the right to fight for the lightweight title, compiled by Adolph Wolgast. Brown's name was left out of the blue blook, and the mo ment the fact was made public the New Tork scrapper came back with 47 different reasons why he should be given consideration, none of which will tend to make the champion love him more. CCDS TO HAVE "SWELL" PARK New Grandstand to Contain Cafe, Barbershop and Garage. CHICAGO, Jan. 1. President C. W. Murphy, of ths Chicago Nationals, Is the latest clubowner to announce plans for a new grandstand. Murphy said today that he propftses a home for his baseball club which will be a unification of all of the best ideas In modern grandstand architecture. This, he says, will naturally make it the greatest of Its kind and will also make his park one of tha beauty spots of the city. Private Italian marble boxes, a fine restaurant, barber shop, a few sleeping rooms, a souvenir room, an automobile drive to the beach, and a garage on top of a beautiful concrete grandstand are some of the features mentioned In connection with the plans. It has not been announced when the work will start, but Murphy says If It is necessary to spend $1,000,000 it will be spent. BARRY GETS NEW PLATERS Pitcher Thompson and Inflelder Dnlin Will Go to Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 1$. (Spe cial.) Jack Barry, manager of the Seattle baseball club, turned two deals during the scheduled meeting of the Paciflc Coast League in Los Angeles that will strengthen his team. He purchased the release of Pitcher Creel Thompson from Sacramento and In flelder Cliff Dulln from Los Angeles, subject to the approval of President Dugdale. Ths deal Involved about $800. Thompson Is a big left-hander Of unusual promise. Dulln Is a giant and can hit the ball for keeps. He Is :.t a good bet to take the place of BueS at third base. Dulln came from the same league In Michigan that gave Bues his start In the baseball world. President Dugdale said tonight that ho would approve the purchases. Swiss Riflemen Elect. The Swiss Rifle Association has elected the following officers: John Schlaeppl, president; P. Roth, vice president: A. Sonderegger, secretary, and A. Rleder, treasurer. The two trustees of the association are M: Zenger and H. Schaffner, while the range officers are M. Zenger and R. Schmld. The membership was former ly open to Swiss only, but Is now open to all. The range at Clackamas has been put In shape and a house built on the grounds. Preparations will be made for the North Pacific Sharp shooters' Union meet, which will be held here next July. This last event will be along ths lines of the Pacific Coast handicap shoot, which the Gun Club will hold In the same month. ALLEN 'PREPS' VICTORS PORTLAND ACADEMY FIVE OCT CLASSED IX 3LATCH. ' Superior Basket-Shooting by. Flake Enables Shockley's Team to Take Game With 3 7-to-l 8 Score. The second game of the inter-aca-demlc basketball season, between Al len Preparatory School and Portland Academy, took place yesterday after noon at the Portland Academy gym nasium, the latter team going down. 27 to IS. The superior skill in shooting baskets, especially that of Fiske, won the game. The Academy had every bit as good floor work in getting the ball near Its basket, but failed to land the ball in the net. Both teams did a good deal of fouling and both scored about the same from this side of the game. The first half ended with the score eight points In Allen's favor. Fiske, playing left forward for the winners, was the big star of the game, making 25 of the 37 points. His shoot ing waa Indeed phenomenal and waa pronounced "luck" by some of the spec tators at the start of the Came, but when he continued to drop them in from every conceivable position while near the basket, even the doubters had to ad mit that there was something to his playing. Granstraln and Harr, also of the Allen team, played a strong game. Harr, center. Is more than six feet tall. Cardlnell seemed to have the best eye for baskets on the Portland Academy team, making nine of the 18 points. He had an especially good eye for free throws, making all but one of the fouls which it was his lot to throw. This victory gives Ed Shockley's Al len team a decidedly strong footing In the lnterscholastlc race, as they came within a few points of beating ths strong Jefferson quintet. Portland Academy has been slow rounding into shape, having postponed Its first game with Jefferson last Fri day because It did not consider itself In condition to meet the team. Every effort will be made by ths losers of today's game to get In shape for the hard game with Washington. The lineup: rortland Academy. Allen Preparatorv.

BRIGHT FUTURE OUTLINED Athletic Organixatlon at "Get-Together" Dinner Hails Advent of New- Quarters and Greets Report of Advancement. Although the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club of Portland will not at tain its 21st birthday until February it already boasts of the largest mem bership of any club west of Chicago, J700 names on the roster; has assets totaling upwards of J750.000; has an athletic field second to none in the country, and. when the new $250,000 club structure is completed about Feb ruary It, will have a home to which every man in the West can point with pride. These facts were proclaimed amidst the wildest enthusiasm at the "get to gether" dihner given by the winged M" membership at the Commercial Club last night, when nearly 400 dis ciples of athletics assembled to sound the good cheer coincident with the completion of the work of rebuilding the club building destroyed by Are in Julv, 1910.1 - "We will have a club of 5000 mem bers within three or four years, out of debt and virtually upon a self-support-Inir h.ialu" predicted Attorney W. D. Fenton, one of the speakers, who based his look Into the future upon facts and statistics of the past 21 years. Bonded Indebtedness Small. "The entire bonded Indebtedness of the club today is only 300,ooo, nearly all subscribed by the membership, ana I know those nine acres In the heart of the city, that beautirul staaium, grandstand and magnificent edifice will soar to a valuation of $1,500,000 within ten years." Today not more than one or two dubs In America has a larger roll than Multnomah. The active mem bershin exceeds 1100. 355 life member ships and ladies, commercial, absent, honorary and junior bringing up the balance. Walter A. Holt, the president, who retires from" office on February 18, pointed out in his preliminary address that of the $50,000 in Initiation fees with which the board expected to fur nish the new building more than $34. 000 had already been received, 103 life and senior memberships having been voted within the last 90 days. He appealed to the Individual members for enough initiations to make up the $16,000 balance before .the present board loses Its tenure or on ice. Street to be Filled. "The most essential thing yet to be done is the Ailing: of Morrison street, said Mr. Holt. We will then ba enabled to lease the corners for build Ing purposes and the revenue from this property alone, which is worth close to $150,000, will be a material tactor in aunDortina- our affairs." Attorney Fenton, In his retrospectory address, traced the evolution of the or ganization from its meager quarters up stairs at Second street, in 1891, to the nresent nalatlal outlook. The first advance move was made in 1895.- when Quarters were rented on Tenth and Yamhill, these being abandoned in 1900 for the club build ing at Chapman and Morrison, which was razed by flames In 1910. "Six acres were purchased then for 143.000 " said t-e speaKer. "xnree acres were added In 1909, in tha Fresi dency of George McMillan, at a cost of $60,000, Increasing me aeoi to 000. but leaving assets of $400,000. In the 17 months of the reconstruction norlnd. following the destruction of, the club building, not one man has tendered his resignation, although there has been little to offer and, to my mind, this is a most remarkable testimonial to the faith in which the young men of Portland have in the future or tne scarlet and white. Need of Athletics ghovrn. Rev. John H. Boyd, of the First Presbyterian Church, and Attorney C. v. r. Wood were also called upon for addresses, both putting in urgent pleas n. mental as well as physical cultiva tion and both emphasizing the need of athletics in' modern civilization. The former was especially bold in his utterances. He exclaimed, with great fervor, that if there must be a ton 01 death in the wake of athletics, better the athletics with the accompanying toll than the vice and the beer steins of France and Germany. "Athletics must not perish, no mat ter what the toll." Raid Rev. Mr. Boyd. "The American youth is the cleanest of any country, because of the spirit of the contest. Athletics are moralizing and spiritualizing; we must have re laxation and play, yet we have permit ted the play houses, the dance halls and other mediums of amusement to become contaminated and to go Into the hands of the corruptionlst." "I am an anarchist, and I do as I please." Such was the Introductory remark with which Attorney Wood answered his predecessor's closing sally directed against his attenuated hirsute adorn ment. But sallies followed each other so rapidly In both these latter ad dresses that laughter attained the qualifications of a habit rather than of a luxury. Bis; Club Library t rued. Attorney Wood put in an urgent plea for the foundation of a great library at the new Multnomah Club building, and suggested that the club do more for the women of the city. "Don't let this be a specialization In muscle alone," advised Mr. Wood. "Bring In lecturers who can tell the membership of poetry and art. Com bine this with the athletic side of the club life, and Multnomah will go down in history as the greatest organization of Its kind In existence. "I deplore the prudery against nudity," added the speaker. "Athle tics teaches the sanity, the wholesome ness, the beauty, the purity of the hu man body, than which there Is nothing more beautiful; It teaches democracy, when man is taken as a man and not for the clothes he wears or for his bank account. We need, the body for a case and a splendid mind In the case." Attorney Wood closed with an amusing reference to his own athletic prowess, declaring that he has been thrown higher and harder while a youth at West Point than at any time In his career until be entered politics in Oregon.

Enthusiasm for soccer and for tha success of their side led two young sters to join In the AInsworth-Clinton Kelly grammar school game, which ended in a 0-0 tie, yesterday, with the result that the game may have to be replayed. Clinton Kelly brought down 13 boys, deferring their final selection till the last moment. By the rules of the game no' substitutes are allowed, bo two of the youngsters found them selves in the position of spectators, much to their annoyance. At a critical moment in the play they butted In, with the result that a protest was lodged by the Ai aworth am. The Alnsworth boys certainly played better football than their opponents, though they gave by no means their best display, overanxiety to win this deciding game probably being re sponsible for the lack of direction in their shooting and failure to keep their places as well as usual. Clinton Kolly, however, went into the game with so much determination that they not only succeeded in keeping out their opponents, but came very near scoring on several occasions. The little fel lows at back played a great game, and Tenensee was a tower of strength for ward. On the Alnswortu side, where all did well, it would be inviduous to mention any particular boy.

Dashwood, former Northwestern League catcher, approached President Baum of the Coast League the other day asking for a Job as umpire. Dash wood says that Sheely, Seal Inflelder, secured from Spokane for Hunky Shaw, can larrup high fast balls, but Is weak on curves. President Fielder Jones of the North western League thinks the numbering system adopted by the Coast circuit is an excellent Innovation, for, in a measure, it fills the place of the ex pensive bulletin boards of the East. The Northwestern, however, is not fig uring on adopting the number. The board of directors of the Wav erly Golf Club will meet tomor row to elect officers.
