LOS ANGELE3, Feb. 1. (Special.)
Henry Berry, owner of the Loa Angelea
baseball club, and bis team manager.
Frank Dillon, today gave out the namea
of 22 players who will comprise the
Angel squad at the beginning of the
Coast League training season, and an
nounced that they expected to add two
more later.
Of
ths 2J men announced today. 1J
a i fwrt says v trv-aTt .ears. TfiaTs .ftfi t W I S"l '
have signed contracts for the coming
year. Most of the others also have
agreed to sign, and Berry Is not worry
ing over "holdouts.
The Angels who will be out for
Spring training are: Pitchers. Halla,
Leverena, Toxer. Palmer. Nagle, Chech
nd Slagle: catchers. Smith. Brook
and Boles: first base, Dillon, Laird and
Cooney; second base. Page; shortstop,
Howard, Dclmas and Bigando; third
base, Metzger: outfielders. Daley, Heit
muller. Lobar and Gore.
Page la New Man.
Every position except second base
and third base will find more than one
contender. Berry Is well satisfied with
the work of Metzger at third base,
Page, at second, will be a new man
There are three contenders for the
shortstop jSDsltion Howard, Del mas
and Bigando. The latter Is a Navajo
Indian, If necessary, Howard can play
around second base.
Two youngsters, one from San Fran
Cisco by the name of Laird, and Frank
Cooncy, a local semi-professional, will
try to secure the extra berth at first
base. Dillon does not mean to play
every game next season, and he will
try to develop a youngster who can
take his place. Cooney Is said to have
an excellent future.
Oore. a youngster drafted by Berry,
will be out for a place In the outfield.
Excellent report, have been heard of
this player, and also of Page, the sec
ond baseman, who waa drafted at the
same time.
Salary Rell I. Higher.
Berry says his salary roll will be
nearly ):000 a month larger this year
than It was two years ago. About ths
sams number of players will be carried
by Berry this year aa he had two years
ago, but practically all of tbem will
receive higher salaries. This Is due to
the fact that he has a number of ez-blg
leaguers and men from the American
Association who still are able to make
good In the latter league and who
therefore are able to demand mors
money.
"When you come right down to it.'
said Berry, brushing the ashes off his
cigar, "there is not much difference be-
tween ths major leagues and ths class
AA leagues. They are a trifle faster
and the catching departments are con-
sioersoiy stronger. But at that you
will Ond Just as many bonebead players
In the major leagues as you find in ths
Coast League diamonds.
GLIDDE'J TOUR SOUGHT

can Association to Select City.
Others Sign Appeal.
The Portland Automobile Club yes
terday telegrapsed the contest com
mittee of the American Automobile
Association asking that Portland bs
mads the terminus of the 1912 Glldden
tour. The committee will meet In Chi
cago today to select the route for the
annual classic event of motordom.
Keen competition has developed for
the iii run. California has been
working hard for It, and several cities
of the East are also fighting hard for
the honor. In 1911 the run was from
New York to Jacksonville, Fla.
Added strength was given the re
quest of the Portland Club by reason
of the telegram being signed by the
presidents of the leading organizations
of ths city and by Governor West and
Mayor Rushlight. The fact that the
Elks will hold their reunion here about
the time the Glldden tour generally ia
finished Is looked upon as a strong
point In favor of Portland.
For several years the Glldden tour
has been considered the most important
endurance contest of the country. Last
year the machines entered were pri
vate cars, and ths pronounced success
of the plan mads the officers of ths
National Automobile Club decide to
continue It on that basis.
Following Is the telegram sent to the

MANY ATTEND LUNCHEON

Is Honor Guesti Organiza
tion Is Aim of All.
Definite steps toward the organiza
tion of a transportation or traffic club
were taken yesterday when 25 well
known Portland railroad men broke
bread together at the Imperial Hotel.
This was the third weekly meeting of
this character. At the first meeting
only four were present, and 10 attend
ed the second. Yesterday's attendance
assures the success of the movement
that has been crystallizing for several
years. Every man present at yester
day's luncheon pledged himself to bring
at least one other railroad man to the
meeting next week, which will be held
at the Imperial Thursday at 12:30
o'clock.
A. C. Martin, assistant general pas
senger agent of the O.-W. R. & N. Co.,
was the guest of honor yesterday, -and
made a brief address, lauding the ef
forts to perfect an organization. He
told of his experience with clubs in
other cities, and predicted the ultimate
success of the movement In Portland.
LnnrbroDi In Continue.
L. F. Knowlton, city passenger and
ticket agent of the North Bank road,
who has been one of the most active in
the endeavor to form a railroad men's
club in Portland, presided at the func
tion. Informal remarks were made by
M. J. Geary, E. B. Duffy, T. A. Roches
ter, H. E. Bulla, E. M. Burns and oth
ers. All were enthusiastic on the sub
ject. All were in favor of the rallcoad
men continuing to meet at weekly
luncheons until they feel they are
strong enough to obtain permanent
quarters. Efforts will be made to have
prominent rail officials in Portland ad
dress the organization at every meet
ing. If visiting traffic men are in the
city on the day of the meeting, they
will be invited to meet with them. The
membership will consist of men act
ually engaged In railroad work. It Is
believed that 400 or 500 members can
be enrolled.

lts Purity Comes from a Natural Source
WHAT MAKES GOOD
WHISKEY ?
J The only proper distillation for fine and high
grade whiskey is through the old-fashioned process.
By the use of the mash tub and distillation through
a three chambered still. This may be Greek to the
average purchaser of whiskey, but it is true never
the less.
J It is better to have this class of whiskey in your
home than to have one made cheaply and sold
chiefly on a local reputation.
J Clarke's Pure Rye and Old Clarke Bourbon are
maae precisely tne old way, the only right
way through the mash tub and three
chambered still. It has been distilled since
1856 and the formula is the same today as in
that year. It is bottled in bond, 100 proof,
guaranteed by the U. S. Government
and is made in the largest whiskev dis
n li
M
tillery in the world. The demand for
straight Pure Whiskey built this
distillery.
J If you get Clarke's you get the best.

ness men are going to be Initiated Into

est in the world.

today Is expected to be considerably
larger. At the supper for the member
ship teams last night E. J. Jaeger

enthusiasm into the contest throughout
the remainder of the week.
