National Association May Put
Curb on Big Payrolls in
Minor Leagues.
JONES OPPOSED TO PLAN
McCrcdie Says He Is Willing to Back
Colts Another Tear Despite Fact
That Youngsters Are Not
Money Makers.
The time-worn question of salary
limit, which has vexed minor league
baseball magnates for many years, is
to be the chief subject of legislative at.
tention at the National Association
meeting; at Milwaukee November 12.
Announcement of continued "rasslin?"
with the salary problem was conveyed
to President Jones, of the Northwest
ern League, yesterday afternoon by
letter from President Sexton, of the as
sociation. The salary limit question will be the
special order of business at the coming
meeting." writes Mr. Sexton. "M. K.
Justice, of the Central Association, Is
head of a committee to report on the
matter, while the new National agree
ment specifies that we must fix salary
limits and file them with the National
commission before March 1. The ques
tion must be met and handled without
equivocation."
Another Important recommendation
of President Sexton's Is that a percent
age of the draft and sale money which I
goes through the office of the associa
tion secretary be turned over to the
association. He points to the huge
fund given to the National commission
and asks that the National Association
be also placed on a firm financial basis.
He would also add to the association
exchequer by fostering inter-league
post-season series, with a percentage of
the receipts put aside for the organisa
tion. President Jones Is opposed to a sal
ary limit, as is also President McCredie.
of the Portland baseball clubs. "A sal
ary limit will never prove satisfactory
in baseball." says the former White Sox
leader. "A working agreement among
the clubs is all right, but salaries of
the teams should be regulated by earn
ing ability. Situations arise where it
Is absolutely impossible to abide by a
salary limit, and any effort to enforce
a strict rule is not practicable." .
m
Mr. Jones, together with Mrs. Jones,
will leave Sunday or Tuesday on a
month's trip, which will take them to
New York and Pennsylvania, in addi
tion to Middle Western points. Jones'
birthplace is Shinglehouse. Pa., while
his wife's home is at Bolivar, N. Y.
On November 10 and 11 President
Jones will attend the National Asso
ciation meeting at Chicago, where vari
ous claims will be arbitrated. Ed Wat
kins, of Tacoma, has several tangles to
unravel and Jones has agreed to assist
him.
Pitcher Hunt, almost sold to the Chi
cago Americans for $3000, was finally
sold to the St. Louis Nationals for
J 1500. Sacramento had never been paid
the $300 for the sandy southpaw, and
filed a claim for the purchase money.
Watkins Is after the $1200, as well as
release from the $300 claim of Louis
ville against the Tigers for Catcher
Crittenden, who reported to Tacoma In
bad shape and was soon released.
"I am confident that Portland will
have a Northwestern League club next
season." Is W. W. McCredle's answer to
rumors that the Pacific Coast League
would be alone in the professional field
here next season.
"The Northwestern League has been
a losing proposition to me, but I like
the circuit and the class of players and
have no desire to quit." answers Mc
Credie to those who believe that he
would be glad of a chance to gracefully
retire.
"There Is no good reason why the
league should not have an A classifi
cation and it will make no difference
to the Coast League, so long as its
rating is higher. The Northwestern
League pays big salaries and has good
players. For a league like the Western
to draft from it is a shame. The play
ers go down the ladder Instead of up."
"The only excuse or argument avail
able against granting the Northwestern
League a higher classification is the
counting of Portland in the population
showing." declares Fielder Jones.
-We have a better league than either
the Southern or the Western, with sal
aries as big or bigger, and to permit
those two organizations to draft f rni
the Northwestern is nothing short of
baseball piracy.
"They talk about Tacoma and Vic
toria being weak clubs, but Victoria is
better than Mobile and Tacoma better
- than Montgomery. Southern League
clubs. The Western League has trou
ble every year with from two to three
clubs tottering."
Had Venrnn won the Pacific Coast
League pennant Vernon fans were pre.
pared to buy an automobile for Johnny
Kane.
"The wrong man got the automobile,"
growled "Pug" Waddell, one of the
Kane boosters, when the news was re
ceived that Gus Hetllng, of the Oaks
had received the gift auto. "Here's
$10 to start a Kane fund." Several
other "eagles" were soon collected and
Hap Hogan and Eddie Maier each
agreed to add $250 to the sum.
Billy Sullivan. White Sox catcher, re
ported to be dickering with Watkins
for the Tacoma franchise, writes to
Fielder Jones that he has postponed
his trip. The veteran receiver will be
In this section before next Spring,
however.
Work has already commenced on the
Vaughn-street grounds, the labor con
sisting of minor repairs and changes
on the stands and the improvement of
the diamond. President McCredie says
that the players will have no com
plaints to make next season on account
of rough Intleld. as it win ne secona
only to a billiard table In smoothness.
A quantity of sand will also be mixed
with the sticky soil at present cover
ing the field.
Multnomah Swim Postponed.
Because of the election, the monthly
social swim of the Multnomah Club
has been postponed until a week from
Tn. . This will make the date No
vember 11 Instead of November 6. The
time remains the same. 8 o clock.

Multnomah-Soldiers battle. The sold

Multnomah may tip the beam at Just

Multnomah Is expecting a hard game
as a result. The Winged -"M" men have
had no scrimmages with the exception
of the game with Oregon Agricultural
College, which they defeated. The
soldiers, on the other hand, have had
several games In which to try the
strength of the plays.
"The soldiers ought to give the club
eleven a good game," said Captain
Hurlburt. of the Multnomah team.
"They have had several good scrim
mages and already have some good
scores on their side, this Fall. We will
at least, not be able to take the game
with our second lineup."
The curtain raiser Is also promised
as an interesting match. McMinnville
has beaten the majority of the team
in tho Willamette Valley and as far
as weight Is concerned. Is in the same
class as Washington.

National Guard companies stationed at
Portland, are actively preparing for
the Banker's trophy team matches,
which will be shot November 10. at
the Clackamas range. Each team can
have a Ahird of Its paper strength as
the team. The companies from Fort

all over the State are shooting on this
event, Woodburn being the next to try.
Its scores will be made Sunday, No

ready shot, but their scores will not
be announced until the other have fired
their rounds.
Amateur Athletics.
Even though sawdust be thrown in
a player's yes or a foot or a finger
rammed into his ear. he will not be
aole to retaliate by applying some un
ladylike epithet to the opposition, ac
cording to the latest football ruling
of tho athletic board of the interschol
astio league. At the last meeting of
the lx principals who compose the
board Tuesday it was decided that any
player using profane language should
be thrown out of the game. At the
same meeting it was voted that all
players hereafter disqualified for row
dy playing shall be barred for the rest
of the season. Both of these rulings
are a direct result of the Jefferson
Washington squabble.
Another result of the Jefferson
Washington harangue Is the calling off
of the game between the second teams.
This was to have been played this af
ternoon, but the faculty of Washington
drsired'to call the game off.
