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

and Salt Lake City. The Utah trot aa
soclstioA Is not contained In the North
Pacific circuit, but the State Fair As
sociation will send Secretary Ensign
with a view to securing membership In
the proposed Pad ft o Coast circuit.
"The San Francisco meeting hss no
connection with the North Paciflc meet
ing which will be held at Walla Walla
February 1." said A. G. Westgate. sec
retary of the Portland Fair Livestock
Association, yesterday. "But It msy be
of vital concern to us here In Vfie north
for the scheme calls for the start of
the harness season In tha north, prob
ably at Vancouver, taking In Seattle,
Spokane. Portland. Salem. Walla Walla.
North Yakima, possibly Salt Lake, and
then moving right on down the coast
to California and Anally winding up at

Mr. Westaate. Johnson Porter, and
other horsemen, think the proposal Is
praotical but fear a hesitancy on the
part of southern associations In chang

No. 74 Bert Jones.
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

"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

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

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.

SIGNS' OF GROWTH
Multnomah Club Largest West
ot Chicago With Member
ship Now 2700.
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.

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.

In section 2 HsJladay dealt the death
blow to any hopes Kerns may have
had of gaining first place by defeat
ing them by three goals to two, the
final goal being scored with only one
more minute to go.
At the interval Kerns led. 2-1, but
then Holladay drew level by the aid
of a penalty, taking the lead just on
time. Paterson showed that lack of
irwhpa a-oes for nothing at the game,
whila Camnbell. Hall. Williams and
Hazlett were the other stars.

Pete Buzukos, tho Portland Greek

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

Bill Steen has been tendered a con
tract for $2100 by the Cleveland Naps,
the same as those handed out to Gregg
and Harkness on their debut Into tha
major league. Steen says he is satis
tied. Forrest Smithson equalled his rec
ord of eight seconds in the 60-yard
high hurdles a few days back in Los
Angeles, Dean Cromwell holding the
watch. This, with Smlthsons easy vic
tory at the San Francisco indoor
games, would seem to indicate that
the former Multnomah star is coming
back with a vengeance.
