TAX OX BASEBALL PROPOSED State Senator Would Put Profession al Game Tnder Commission. ' " ALBANT. N. T Jan. II. A bill that will cause much excitement In the ranks of baseball men Is to be intro duced In the New York State Legisla ture by Senator James Frawley. one of the Democratic Isadora and author of the new law for tbe regulation of boxing. It Is Senator Frawley's plan to tax the gross receipts of baseball clubs exceeding a certain limit, tbe money thus collected to be turned over to the playgrounds In the leading cities and towns. Tfc. a Kill n.ok. kl. will MmA IS ItJt ft t as the tax and will affect directly the j New York National League Club, the New Tork American League Club and the Brooklyn National League Club. Fenator Frawley's Idea is to put pro fessional baseball under the control of the State Athletic Commission, which Is managing the boxing game. Tbe officials of the major league cluba have never made public the amount of their gross receipts, ex penditures and profits. There Is no doubt, bowever that the returns are enormous. It has been said unofficially that the profits of the New Tork Na tional League Club exceed 300,000 in good years. BOWLIXG LEADERS VICTORIOUS White Crows and Derbies Both Win In Big Eour League. Won.

Despite University Team's Obvious Lack of Preparedness Contest Is Fast and Interesting. Lack of practice told heavily on the Columbia University basketball team In the game with Jefferson yesterday afternoon at tbe T. M. C A. Jefferson won. 26 to 17. The game was. never theless, fast and Interesting. Jefferson excelled in ability to shoot baskets from the field. The winners had the upper hand from the start, and at the end of the first half the score stood 11 to J. The course of the game was marked by a great deal of fouling, most of It by Jefferson, especially toward the last of the game when the excitement got a little the better of the players' caution. The passing of tbe two teams was about evenly matched and was up to a good standard. Toward the latter part or tbe fray Columbia started a rally mostly due to the great number of fouls made by the Jefferson team. Eight of the 17 points of the losers were made in the last Ave minutes of play, due to Jefferson's fouls for the most part. Fitzgerald la te Fere. Little Individual starring was brought out by the game. Fitzgerald showed up rather strong. He is one of the heav iest men to appear on the local inter- scholastlc floors this Winter. He shot most of the free throws for the Colum bia quintet, scoring almost all that he had a chance to throw. 8c hulls, for merly with the Mount Angel team, is rather small, but ha proved a hard man to handle. His forte Is speed. lie played his forwsrd to good advantage. Ktrkland also played a heady game for tbe losers. A good deal of Jefferson s success was due to the playing of Ernest Vos per, who turned out again to take the place of Eugene West, out with a frac tured wrist. He played a last game at forward, landing a number of bas kets and free throws. Murphy got most of the ringers, as usual, making five. Although he plays guard he managed to slip In a number of tallies and still keep his own man from landing too many. Anderson also deserves special mention. Celaasbla l aser Handicap. Columbia always works under one great handicap, that of a suitable floor to practice on. Tbe stadium at tne campus has only a sod floor, and when the five gets on a slippery oaae it nnas considerable difficulty In navigating. Last year tbe Christian Brothers- gym nasium wss used. An effort will be made to get a practice floor before the next game. The lineup yesterday: Columbia. Position. Jefferson. Kirk land F Vo.per Prhulis L F Athworth Fltsserald C.

RAGING CIRCUIT FORMED DC IflHI DL ' GAMP FOR BEAVERS McCredie Gives Up Idea of Se lecting Elsinore for Train ing Grounds. SPRING PLANS ARE SHAPING Manager of Champions Butt of Joke. Applicants for Job of Bat Boy Disappointed Ewlnf and Portland Leader Still Differ. San Diego, Cal., home of the Point Loma wireles station, the first ostrich farm on the Coast, the tent city, Al O. Spalding and Katherlne Tlngley, may be the scene of Spring training for the Portland Coast League champion ball club. Walter McCredie, manager of the Beavers, returned home from the league aession at Los Angeles with this announcement. Manager Walt hasn't decided defi nitely to move headquarters from San ta Maria to the Coronado vicinity, but he has already eliminated Elsinore from the race, on account of the tor ridtty, and It looks like a standoff be tween San Diego and Santa Maria. Jack Barry, who is wintering at Ocean Park, a beach resort near the Angel City, will go to San Diego within a day or two to look over .the field care fully and not till. then will Manager McCredie make his decision. McCredie Not Talkative. Apparently no mystic Phoenix has arisen from the ashes of the recent league meeting, when the Spalding ball was discarded for tbe Goldsmith, when the magnates enjoyed a beefsteak breakfast at the expense of Ed Meier, and when the 1912 schedule was for mally branded with the hot iron of ap proval. At least Manager McCredie brought none of the smoke back with him, for. In the news line, be remind ed one of a 12th carbon copy of a Roosevelt or a Cal Ewlng. "Had a fine time; didn't see Tommy Sheehan; enjoyed a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Barry and Jack is some busy man signing tap players for Dugdale; am satisfied with the schedule; not com plaining about the umpires; believe we did the right thing in adopting the Goldsmith rubber-cored sphere and am enthusiastic over the new numbering of the players scheme." This In brief about sums up tne fruits of a week's Jaunt to California. Mac added that the big obstacle in the way of a choice of San Diego for Spring training was ihe exorbitant de mand made by the manager of the Winter League club, who controls the only available grounds. Reports in Los Angeles are that Johny Kane, tbe Vernon midget, who formerly wore Chicago cut livery, is playing the races at Juarex and Is fig uring on becoming a prizefighter. Kane was quite an athlete during his high school days at Chicago and has an Idea that he can take the measure of Frankle Conley In a tO-round 4out. Johnny probably doesn't go over 125 or 130 pounds in weight In the base ball season. Veraoa Players Scattered. Of the remaining Vernon players Hap Hogan and Speed McDonnell are working In Hogan's billiard empo rium; Patterson is striving in a bowl ing alley, Burrell Is employed by a telephone concern. Brown has sold his cigar store at Venice and Is back East, while Stlnson and Roy Brashear are batting . in ' the Winter Stove League. W. W. McCredie, president of the local association. Journeyed over from Van couver, Wash., to hear the 1912 brand of gossip from citrus frultland and he and Walter conferred at some length on the Spring training mattes, later going out to inspect work on the new ball park. The elder McCredie's pres ent Intentions call for the Northwestern League players to report at Watson vllle March IS, remaining there for 10 days and then invading Oakland for a three or five-game series Just before the opening of the Pacific Coast League schedule. "We may work out with the Sacra mento club, however, and play a game or two at the California capital." add ed the Vancouver barrister. "En route north I would like to have Nick Will lams' men stop off at Medford and other points for practice games. There is some chance that the team will play In Portland on Saturday and Sunday on the way north to Seattle, where the Northwestern season opens on Tuesday, April K. The Coast League club wants the privilege of dedicating the park against San Francisco on April 10. so I don't know Just how the mat ter will work out." McCredie Gets Bat bey. Someone worked a good Joke on Walt McCredie In his absence and quite a crowd assembled to watch the fun Wednesday afternoon. Wanted One good batboy to aot as mascot to the Portland Coast League team. Good pay. Address Walter Mo Credle." This was the percussion cap. Manager McCredie's mall has been accumulating for several days and when he opened his desk it was with mild surprise and satisfaction that be noted the postofflcy appearance of the office. "I am a boy 12 years old, red haired and acted as mascot for the Cheru bims at Hog Hollow. You can see me by calling at 3035 Malaria avenue on Saturday afternoon," read tbe first missive Walter attacked. Or at least It was something like that. "What does that mean?" said tne terror to umpires. The next envelope unearthed a sim ilar application and the returned prod igal was nearly an hour concentrating the rubbish down tc his neglected business communications. "Some Joke, all right" mused he when the crowd adjourned. Ewlaa aad McCredie Differ. Mac said tbst his talk with Cal Kwlng at the league meeting and In San Francisco had not altered his views concerning the new Class AA innovation. The two important clauses in the agreement. It develops, are the one whloh prohibit major league clubs from owning more than S3 players at one time and the clause which provides that all Class AA leagues must waive on a major league player before he can be sent back to a club in a lower league. "The covering up of ballplayers snd farming-out practice on the part of the majors will now ne a tning oi tne past," said Ewlng in a San Francisco Interview, in which he argues against the McCredies" viewpoint, "for with the 35 limit the majors will not have the leeway to deal in hot-air trades and they cannot send a promising young ster back to their Class A. B, C or D farms without our consent." BoxlnS'Match Is Fiasco. SEATTLE, Waabi, Jan. IS. (Spe- SAN DIEGO .1-1 iTAAtm.

The game between Allen's Prepara tory School and tbe Lincoln High bas ketball team set for today has been postponed indefinitely. The T- r CL A. pirates will play the Jewish boys' basketball team Saturday night on the Jewish boys' floor at Sec ond and Wood streets. The Pirates are former high school students. 'ineir first game with the secretaries ended in defeat for them. Lincoln High will meet the Pirates next Wednesday night at the T. M. C. A. Lincoln has not met any of the teams of the Interscholastlc League as yet. but is trying all the Independent teams of the city and finding the weak spots in this manner. A disputed game was played by the Jewish boys and the Y. M. C. A. .Hus tlers' basketball teams Wednesday night. When time was called the score stood 15 all, but it was decided to quit for the night and play the game over on the Y.M. C. A. floor some time next week. Madden, one of Multnomah's handi est boxers, who left for Spokane last night for the inter-club bouts, hurt his arm on Thursday, and Tommy Tracy is rather dubious about the outcome. The trouble lies in the elbow and hinders his action. REALTY LICENSES WANTED Dealers Tell Committee Plan Will Rid City of Rascals. "Our object in asking the City Coun ell to pass an ordinance licensing real estate dealers is to rid the city of such rascals as John B. Goddard. recently convicted for some offenses against lit tie girls," said C K. Henry, addressing the license committee of the Council yesterday afternoon. "There have been too many cases where people have been swindled and we think it is high time to call a halt. Every little express wagon bas a license, why should not there be some supervision over real estate dealers? The license committee undoubtedly will recommend tbe passsga of the measure, which was presented by the Realty Board by unanimous vote of that organisation. It was sent to the City Attorney yesterday, that it may be put Into complete legal form. It provides for a license fee of $5 a year for pro prietors and $1 a quarter for each salesman employed In the realty busi ness, and the act designates any one who sells a piece of property not his own to be a dealer. A fine of not to exceed $200 is provided for violation. V. Vincent Jones also spoke for the Realty Board in favor of the measure. He said that the business needs atten tion and supervision from the city and the Board. "If the city will pass this measure, said Mr. Jones, "the Board's committee on licenses will be on the Job to place before the Council committee at vari ous times such facts as will Justify the granting or refusal of licenses. We propose not to run out or to starve out the 'little fellow,' but to protect the general public against frauds. It this measure Is passed. It will go a long way toward accomplishing this. The committee postponed action on a proposed ordinance to amend the elec- tric-slgn ordinance. It also postponed indefinitely measures designed to in crease the license for fish peddlers and another cutting In half the licenses of hawkers of fruits. SWEENEY SEEKING OFFICE Contractor After Republican Nomi nation for Commlsioner. Thomas A. Sweeney, a grading con tractor, living at 857 East Sixteenth street, will be a candidate against W. I Llghtner, incumbent, for the Re publican nomination for County Com missioner at the primary election April 19. Mr. Sweeney yesterday filed notice of his candidacy with County Clerk Fields. Mr. Sweeney declares that, if elected, he will rigidly enforce a strict check on the money spent by the county. As a slogan he has adopted, "No cliques or combines; progresslveness, efficiency, economy; home labor at all times." Another candidate appeared yester day for a Republican nomination for Justice of the Peace. Portland District. Harry Yanckwich, who ran independent against Justice Olson at the general election in November, 1910, Is the latest aspirant for the office. His slogan Is: "Progresslveness; a square deal to everyone; no politics while in office." William Reld, of the firm of Em mons, Emmons & Reld, and a former Justice of tbe Peace, is seeking the Republican nomination for department No. 4 of the Multnomah County Cir cuit Court, a position now occupied by Judge Gantenbein. Judge Reld filed notice of candidacy with Secretary of State Olcott yesterday. After his name on the primary ballot he wants printed. "Just decisions, speedy trials, equality of all before the law." Judge Gantenbeln's candidacy to suc ceed himself is still undecided. He is being urged to seek the Republican nomination for Representative in Con gress from the new district created re cently and comprising only Multnomah County. Marslifleld Contest Unsettled. MARSHFIELD, Or, Jan. IS. (Spe cial.) The case involving the question of the election of Mayor of Marsh field Is still pending in court and will probably not come to trial until sev eral technical points have been set tled. R. A.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18. Charlie Griffin, the Australian lightweight boxer who came to America a few weeks ago, wants his medals back. He told tbe police yesterday that bis man ager. Robert J. Wilson bas them. It is desired by Griffin that tbe police find Wilson and get the medals. Wilson, Griffin said, need not come along. A recent match between Griffin and Johnny Frayne fell through when Frayne found he could not make 133 pounds at 6 o'clock. As Wilson had not posted Griffin's forfeit, none could be had from Frayne, and Griffin was the loser by his training expenses. Brief Sporting Note.
