Cal Ewlng. the San Francisco magnate, who la acknowledged the biggest baseball man In the minor leagues, surprised his friends today with the announcement that he had planned for some time to retire per manently from baseball after the close of the 1915 season.

I have worked hard -for the promotion of clean baseball on the Pacific Coast and I feel that I can look back on my record wltn a oeai oi pride. "I have fought the battles of the Coast League and have never lost. It is quite natural that I -have enemies. No man who fights and wins can . emerge with, nothing but friends to cheer him. It has been all clean ' fighting, too, and I am afraid of no one coming forward with a charge ' against me. "E. N. Watler had planned to use the - charge of syndicate baseball as a club 'to hold me up, but I came out with a clean breast of the facts and nothing ' but the facts. ' Carson-Koeataer Deal Blade. Neither Walter McCredle or Happy ' Hogan had much to say outside of the bare announcement that Elmer Koest ner had been traded for Soldier Car lson. The Portland manager declared that Inasmuch as Carson had always pitched good ball In Portland and Koestner always went good in Los Angeles, the deal was negotiated for the benefit of the two players. It is supposed that It was an out-and-out : trade "and McCredle expressed himself as satisfied that he' had received the best of the trade. Happy Hogan also wanted to swap . Harry Stewart for Speck Harkness. but -as Manager Walter McCredle had left "town to look over a prospective train ' ing camp near Santa Rosa, Judge W. ',W. McCredie did not want to put through the deal. tEAVITT XOW HEADS OAKS Walter's Resignation as President of Club Is Accepted. ' OAKLAND, Dec 11.

Section 3 Is still very much unsettled, the remaining games being the crucial battles. The hold which the game has gained in the two years which it has been played by the junior athletes is nothing short of remarkable. When they gradu ate to the high schools, within the next three or four years, it is not at all unlikely that many will stick to the game At least promoters and follow ers of soccer expect to see the game receiving as much attention and draw li r as big crowds as American football five years hence. -- THE DALLES, TEA31 AMBITIOUS High School Eleven Would Accept Los Angeles Challenge.

Members of the executive commit tee from Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, New Hampshire and Montana voted against the resolution because they said the resolution was not suffi ciently comprehensive.

Senator Dixon, of Montana, chairman of the executive committee, was em powered to name this commission. He said he would appoint Medlll McCor- lck and Dr. Walter E. Weyl as two of the members. Addama Plan Adopted In Part. The executive, committee adopted the principles contained In the Jane Addams plan for the organization and financ ing of the Progressive campaign. The Addams clan was not adopted in its entirety, because it was believed to be too large an undertaking at mis ume. For the immediate financing of head quarters and bureaus, it was decided to ask for 100 subscriptions of i500 a year. Six of these, totaling J3000, were subscribed tonight. They came from the state organizations of New Hamp shire.

Pope, of Michigan, were quick In assuring financial support. , " Chairman Dlx announced mat tne National committee had put Into ef fect the recall in its own affairs through a resolution presented by Mr. Hale.

"Further, that any officer or com mittee of the Progressive National party may be recalled by a majority vote of the entire committee. A special meeting for the purpose of acting upon such recall shall be called by the sec retary upon request of the chairman or 25 per cent of the membership of such committee." T. H. Wanamaker was named to suc ceed H. Scherwood Dunne as National committeeman from South Carolina. The action of the New Jersey state committee in electing Borden Whiting as a member of the National commit tee to succeed John F. Fort, was rati fied. Chairman Dixon was empowered to take action in the matter of the con tempt charges made by the Idaho Su preme Court against certain Idaho Pro gressives, because of criticism of the Presidential electors' decision. Mr. Dixon said tonight he had not deter mined what would be done In the Idaho cases. Colonel Remains In Chicago. Chairman Dixon said he would rec ommend to Progressive members of Congress the pending bill for the estab lishment by tne tiovernment ot a leg islative reference bureau. The sug gestion was advanced by James R. Gar field, of Ohio. Colonel Roosevelt remained in Chi cago tonight for further conferences with members of the National commit tee. He leaves for New York tomor row morning. He was the guest to night of Miss Jane Addams at a din ner attended by 30 prominent Progres sives. Senator Dixon tonight sent the fol lowing telegram to Governor Johnson at Sacramento, Cal-: "By a rising vote 1300 Progressives at banquet at Auditorium last night un animously Instructed me to wire you this message of greeting, good cheer, and comradeship, and regret for your inability to be present with us. Every man and woman here has enlisted for the war. Unanimous sentiment is to go forward with no faltering and no comnromlse. .The whole spirit of the conference Is superb. Looking over the great throng assembled from every state, one would imagine that the August convention was again assem bled."
