Charges Xot Felt by Ewing.
SAX FRANCISCO, Dec. 11. (Spe
cial.) J. 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. Ewlng declared
that the present controversy with E.
N. Walter, the ex-president of the Oak
land club. Is In no way connected with
his scheduled retirement.
"Some months ago I promised my
wife that I would step out of baseball
by 1916," said Ewing. "It takes up all
oi my ume mm wi
less worries and cares.. I will be 50
years of age by 191 and think that I
have earned the right to rest and en
Joy life for the rest of my days. Mrs.
Ewing and I have planned a tour
around the world and I want to be out
of business so that I can appreciate our
travels and go where and when 1
please. - .
Seals to Have New Park.
- "But before I do get out of business,
-ytfu can rest assured that San Fran
cisco will have a modern ball park and
:the affairs of the Coast League will
be In shipshape. 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. The Oakland
club of the Coast League met here
tonight, accepted the . resignation of
K. N. Walter from the presidency, and
elected Frank W. Leavitt temporarily
' to the position. Friday night the
stockholders will meet and elect a
board of directors and adjourn. It Is
virtually assured that Jeavltt will be
.chosen.
The controversy between Walter and
J. Cal Ewlng. of the San Francisco
club, over Walter's charges of "syndi
cate baseball" was characterized as
merely a personal affair.
Walter was not present.

(Special.) "My used-to-be-glass arm

writes Paul Strand, the Spokane In

Nationals, to August Bade, manager of
the Walla Walla Bears, in the Western
Trl-State League.
Strand Is at South Prairie, Wash.,
and is evidently getting Into shape for

"I have speed a-pienty now, also a

SOCCER SEASON XEARS END
determined by per cent and the superi
ority will not be known until all the
other games of the division are out of
the way. 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. --

Progressive party tonight, after a fight
In which dleerates to the National Pro
gressive conference from several states

tion stood 32 to 12. Chief opposition
to the selection of New York came
from Florida, Colorado. Idaho, Louis
iana, Texas and Wyoming.
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.
Perkins Men Claim Victory.
By many of the delegates the selec
tion of New York was received as a
victory for George W. Perkins and his
friends, against whom some opposition
had developed.
It was decided to establish a perma
nent publicity and legislative bureau
at Washington.
The executive committee voted to
send a commission to Europe to study
legislation in England, Germany and
other countries for the purpose of get
ting material for the Washington leg
islative bureau.
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. Massachusetts, Michigan, Ver
mont, Delaware and Pennsylvania, it
Is proposed to get 42 more of these sub
scriptions from the remaining state or
ganizations and to secure the rest from
Individuals.
Financial Support promised.
rsnvernor Bass, of New Hampshire;
Matthew Hale, of Massachusetts; Louis
A. Drexler, of Delaware; William Fllnn,
of Pennsylvania, and Gustavus B. 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.
This resolution provides:
"That 25 ner cent of the membership
of the National committee may join in
Detitlon requesting the chairman or
executive committee to adopt some cer
tain nolicy or motion, and if said chair
man and executive committee fails or
refuses to accept such recommendations.
the petitioning members may call upon
the secretary of the committee to issue
a call for a meeting of the National
committee, to be held within not to
exceed 30 days for the purpose of acting
on such recommendation.
"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."

Bottled in Bond
Most whiskies bottled in bond are only 4 to 5 years old,
including all other largely advertised, popular brands.
More 7 to 8-year old W.' H. McBrayer's Cedar Brook
Whiskey was bottled in bond (2,956,944 bottles) in 1911 in our
one Cedar Brook Distillery , than all other brands combined,
including all advertised, popular , brands made in Kentucky,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and all over the U. S. bar none.
On this showing, having . bottled more , 7 to 8 year-old
whiskey last year than all other brands combined, Cedar Brook
is therefore the oldest and beston the market certified also
beyond question by Public Taste during three generations.
