' H THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAy, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 19. 1912. i i mm favors FOUR GAME SERIES Iron Man" Visits Portland but j; Fails to Find McCredie to Discuss Plan. TACOMA TO GET ON MAP TTevr Manager Says He Will Rerlv ! Game in HU City He and Fleld j; er Jones Recount Early Ex J'. perlences on Diamond. ! BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. I - The world do move. Twelve year o Joe McGlnnlty and Fielder Jones. itcher and outfielder, were mighty Ira- Jjortant cogs in a baseball machine that rhlp for Brooklyn. Yesterday the amous "Iron Man" dropped In from Tacoma to pay his old tlllloum. Jones, a Ji-lslt, but it was not as pitcher and outfielder. McQlnnity is the new play-lng-manaer, owner and director of the ZTacoma club, in the Northwestern JcagTie and Klelder Jones is president fit that prosperous class B organisation. JIcGinnlty" visit to Portland, his Tirst trip here, bore no special signm- i.i. i - j n . cance. ti came aown wmi Vina, former owner of the Tacoma fran' his, primarily to get acquainted with the Class B situation and to meet W. Sv. McCredie, the Portland owner, and thresh out with him his contention that Tacoma is entitled to a more portly schedule. Unfortunately President Mc Credie was out of the city and the schedule knot will have to be unrav Med at the annual league meeting Sat jjrdav at Tacoma. "The old pitching star believes that for the future welfare of baseball in (Tacoma that city should have an equal Kpllt of the 170-odd games, at home fnd abroad. Last year Its home series Were divided equally between tne la tma and Seattle parks. McGlnnlty is Iso in favor of a four-day "instead of feeven-day series, but says he will have to be guided by the experience of the other directors as to the merits or tne International League plan. -Xo wonder Tacoma has been a poor Jiall town," quoth the "Iron Man." who looks more like a Congressional nom inee than a ballplayer who has spent most of his life in the harness. "The people have been led to think they are Jnerely a filler for the league. Let tne give them a couple of good teams, and. with an equal break, on home games. I'll make that town one of the best in the circuit. Under the present system the fans need an introduction to their players every trip home. They are not at home often enough for them to get acquainted with them. "Tacoma doesn't want half of its schedule going to Seattle. Nor should Seattle get most of its games at home. That gives them a ii per cent advant age right there." Brooklyn Daya Recalled. " "Iron Man Joe" had a great afternoon reviewing old war-time escapades with fielder Jones, at Northwestern League headquarters. McOinnity believes that the champion Brooklyns of 1900 was the greatest aggregation of modern times.. He says they could have thrown their gloves away and still have beaten last year's' Boston Red Sox. That club holds the proud distinction of having been the only league team possessing a college yell. The lineup showed Jlm-McGuire and Charley Farrell. catchers: Hughey Jen nings at first, Tom Daley at second. Bill Dahlcn.- shortstop; lave Cross, third, and outfielders, Joe Kelly. Field er Jones and Willie Keeler. Jimmy fiheckard held down the utility job. The champs played a post-season series wrlth Pittsburg, the runnerup, won easily, due principally to McGlnnlty's masterful twirling, and, as a. reward, the three and one-half gallon trophy pup was voted to him by the players. ' McGlnnlty has had an Interesting fcareer and will furnish prey for the newspaper men around the Class B cir cuit. He was born in Illinois, March J. 1873. ao will be 40 years old the Coming season. Joe is married, has a J 8-year-old daughter, and spends his bff seasons at McAlester. Okla.. where tie la interested with his brother-in-law In a large lront foundry and mat-nine shop. By trade he is a moulder and attributes much of .the longevity pf his trusty wing to the muscular de velopment received in his work. For 19 years he has been pitching ball, and good ball too. being one of Jhe leading twlrlere of the Newark club in the Class AA International league last year. McGlnnlty started cut under John McCloskey at Mont- r ornery. Ala- In 1833. The following eason he was with Kansas City in the old Western League and then, for the i-easons of 1895, 1896 and 1897 Joseph pitched highballs in a thirst emporium. Jtut it was not his fondness for iron brew that harvested the high-sounding J andle. "Iron Man" McGlnnlty. Joe got that because he was called upon to of ficiate in 50 or .more games' every year (luring hi major league tenure. ' In 189S a rye crop blight sent Mc Glnnlty back into- baseball with the f'eoria club in the Three-Eye League. Ills stellar flinging opened all three 'ryes and also the eyes of Baltimore, Where he landed the following season, winning 28 games and losing 10. In )S00 Baltimore was chucked out of the Rational League. Sheckard. McGlnnlty, Harry Howell and others being sent to Brooklyn and Muggsy McGraw, Robin son and one or two cronies to St. Louis. McGlnnlty led the league. ' "Iroa Maa" Jompa Contract. 1 The American League was born the pext year. and. when Muggsy McGraw took over the management of the Baltimore. McGlnnlty Jumped Brook lyn, being among the first to sign Johnson circuit contracts. I . "Why did I decert? Well the best Manager Hanlon would do for me at Brooklyn was $1500 and Baltimore of - fered me $3000, so why shouldn't I accept?" queried the new Tacoma mag nate. McGlnnlty jumped back Into the Na tional League in 1901. when McGraw teok charge of the New York Nationals and stuck there through the campaigns or 190-'. 1903. 1904. 1905. 190S. 1907 and 190S. He bought a half Interest in the Newark franchise In 1909 and has been -there four years. A desire to have com plete ownership of a team Induced him to sell at Newark, and. after consider ing offers from Topeka and one or two Central League owners. Fielder. Jones steered him westward. McGlnnlty and Watklns returned to . Tacoma late in the afternoon. While here Mr. Watklns talked with Presi dent Jonea on the tangle wherein St. Louis levied on his 191! draft money to satisfy an old claim of $1500 for Pitcher Annis, who did not report in condition after his purchase for $1500. Watkins says the Northwestern League grave him a clean bill when he- took over the Rothermel-Shreeder's inter ests and that the league, therefore, should take up his claim and either pay it or fight for the kale before the National board. .

That there Is a hitch In the much talked of ar rangement by which Frank Chance, former manager of the Chicago Nation als would become manager of the New York American team, became known here today, when President August Herrmann, of the Cincinnati club. stated that he had not released Chance. President Herrmann obtained Chance several weeks ago through the waiver route and It was thought that he in tended that the former Chicago mana ger would lead the Cincinnati team the coming eason."r However, Joe Tinker, shortstop of the Chicago Na tionals, waa traded to Cincinnati, and Immediately Chance's name became linked with the managership of the New York Americans. It had been rumored that arrange ments had been completed whereby Chance would go to New York, but Herrmann today professed to have no official knowledge of any auch deaL It is generally believed here that any hitch in the proceedings has come from Chance and that his release by the Cin cinnati club will be. granted as soon as It Is asked.. Tinker arrived here from Chicago to day and it is said will sign his con tract at once. NEW YORK. Dec7"l8. At the office of President Farrell. of the New York American League Baseball Club, it was denied today that there had been a hitch in the arrangement under which Frank Chance was expected to manage the Highlanders next year. "Chance has been realesed by Presi dent Herrmann, of the Cincinnati club," Mr. Farrell's private secretary declared. "I can say that much positively, but no more." Mr. Farrell could not be reached. CHAXCfc MAY REJECT OFFER Bill Lange Says Orange Groves Are Greater Lure Than Diamond. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 19. (Spe cial.) Frank Chance may turn down the opportunity to become manager of the New York Americans at the highest salary in .' baseball history to give serious attention to his orange ranch and live close to nature, according to "Big Bill" Lange. who returned here today after a visit to the ex-Cub lead er's home. "Chance's health Is not of the best," said Lange. "and even the prospect of a salary that may total $20,000 for the season may fail to tempt him. "Chance is hesitating because he does not know how his health will hold out. Frank has not been well for two years, and his doctors have ad vised him to take things easy. How. ever, his health has improved ever since he underwent an operation In New York last Fall, but he still wants to think it over for another month be fore giving a definite answer. I would not be surprised if he and Farrell are still negotiating at the end of January. Chance has a fine place at Glendora, about 25 miles from Los Angeles. The ranch Is set out to orange trees which have reached the bearing age. So Frank is not exactly crazy to give up the prospects of a quiet and prosperous lite free from all worries that handling a big league baseball team entails, for another season of the national pas time. In fact, it can be said that If he were compelled to decide right now he would definitely turn down the offer. Chance and Lange were teammates on' the Chicago National club in the nine ties and are warm friends.' WILli.5rETTE ENTRY FAVORED Oregon Aggies to Vote for Letting Salem College! in Conference. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis. Dec 18. (Special.) Dr. E. J. Stewart, director of physical education at Oregon Agricultural Col lege, and Dean A. B. Cordley, member of the board of athletic control, will leave Corvallis tomorrow for Seattle to attend the annual meeting of the Pacific Northwest intercollegiate con ference on Friday and Saturday of this week. r- The Corvallis representatives said that this institution would favor the admittance of Willamette University to the conference in case application be made. Oregon Agricultural College will also vote for the adoption of some regula tion Euvrriiiiin " - ference championships.. The plan fa 13 Si.-- 4 vored here Is to airange the schedules go that each conference team will meet every other conference team, or, if this does not seem practical, to proviae mat th teams representing the respective Institutions play an equal number of conference games eacn season. "While I do not admit that the ob ject of intercollegiate athletics Is to settle championships," said Dean Cord ley this morning. "I do believe that, as long as championships appear to be of more consequence than the physical training the men receive, there should be adopted a more definite method of determining the championship teams than is at present observed in our con ference." JIARRIMAX IS ROAVIXG COACH Railroad Man's Son, Yale Student, Has Charge of Varsity Crew. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Dec. 18. The resignation of James Rodgers. as chief coach of the Yale crew, has left Averlll Harriman. the 20-year-old son ol the late E. H. Harriman, at the bead of the coaching system. This is the first time a Yale under graduate has acted as head coach since the days of Bob Cook, back in 1874. Young Harriman last year coached the freshman eight, the only Yale crew to capture an event on the Thames last June, and as a reward was appointed chief lieutenant to Rodgers. Harriman has made a careful study of English methods and styles of rowing and will endeavor to put thm In practice here.

OREGOX WILL TAKE HER TIME Consideration of Football Coaches Vital, Says Geary. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Dec. 18. (Special.) "It is not likely that the fate of the graduate coach ing system will be known before six weeks," said Graduate. Manager .Geary today. Geary is one of the committee of three delegated by the athletic coun cil Monday to select next year's football coaching staff. "We will hire the strongest available men, whether or not they are alumni of the University of Oregon. We will take our time and consider all likely candidates for the staff carefully."

The election was to have taki-n place at the football banquet held Wednesday night, but Doble per suaded the manager to postpone the election. He then accused the Patton supporters of trying to elect their man by fraternity politics. Presley Is a member of Phi Gamma Delta, which fraternity controlled Feven votes, and Patton's fraternity. Phi Delta Theta also controlled seven votes. This angered Dobie and he charged that Patton's fraternity brothers had used undue Influence on members of the team to break the dead-lock. Dobie claims that he can substan tiate his' charges and the whole affair will be aired at a meeting of the stu dent board of control Tuesday. Until that time the election will not take place. . .

RED' RUPERT TO BE CLUB QUARTERBACK With 193-Pound Policeman as Pivot Multnomah Eleven Averages 183 Pounds. SEATTLE IS EVEN HEAVIER Former Star Goes Back to Old Posi tion to Replace Rlnebart and Dis plays Old Speed and Dash. Pratt Annonnces Llnenp. . Multnomah Club's football poundage for the big Saturday gridiron conflict against the Seattle All-Stars was boosted to 183 pounds yesterday alter noon by the announcement that "Red" Rupert the 193-pound Portland police sergeant, and Winged "M" quarterback of 1905-06, will take "Rat" Rineharfa Dlace at the signal-giving position. Rineliart's head, badly cut open in a collision with Rupert in practice, is healing so slowly that Manager Pratt decided yesterday to station "B on the sidelines and start the game with Rupert. "Red" has practiced at quar terback for two nights and emerged from each session with flying colors. Clyde Rupert he shattered a silense of years yesterday and confessed to his first legal name is a quarterback vet eran. He played on the great Albany College eleven, 1901-2-3-4. In 1902 the Albany huskies defeated Oregon Agri cultural College and played two tie games with the University of Oregon. In 190S and 1906 he was quarterback en the Multnomah Club squad, alter nating with Chester Murphy, one of the greatest quarters in the history of the club. Saturday's active field general Is an antl-"hoodoot8t." He is Number 13 on the Portland police force, became the father of a 13-pound boy on September 13 of this year and prefers to play foot. ball on the 13th or 23d day of the month. Manager Pratt is much elated over the "comeback" showing of Rupert, while the additional 40 pounds of avor- dupois is another cause for congratula tion. But for the presence of Rupert In the lineup at the opening of the game at Seattle Tom McDonald's All-Stars would outweigh Multnomah Club about six pounds to the man. The Seattle ites average around 186 pounds, against 183 for Multnomah Club. The Seattle line is the heavier but the backfleld will be outweighed considerably. Manager Pratt- names the following men to start the game Saturday: Cherry, center; Rogers, right guard; Carlson, left guard; Convill, right tackle; May. left tackle; Calllcrate, right end; Hickson, left end; Rupert, quarter: Wolff, right half; Clarke, left half; Hurlburt (captain), fullback. Latourette, O Rourke and Worsham are not likely to make the trip. Wor sham has been called East, O'Rourke has quit, and Latourette plans to re main at home. The substitute lineup: Keck, fullback; Ludlam and Smith, end; Burnett. Duncan, Montague, Burton and Drugard, guard and tackle, and Rhine- hart at quarter. Burnett was a Dart mouth freshman last season, while Duncan is an Annapolis lineman of 1904. T. Morris Dunne, outdoor athletics chairman of the Multnomah Club, is out for the 1913 Pacific Coast intercolle giate track and field meet. He was authorized to bid for the meeting at a session of the club board Tuesday night and yesterday opened negotiations leading to the selection of Multnomah Field as the scene of the athletic gath ering in May of next season. We have all the facilities for hold ing a gigantic competition," says Mr. Dunne. "The Northwest is entitled to the meet next year, and with a little support from the Northwestern col leges this city will greet the track and field stars. At present the only big outdoor track and field meet scheduled for Multno mah Field is the Pacific Northwest As sociation championships in June. Swimmers are preparing for the fourth annual Multnomah Club Christ mas swim in the Willamette on Christ mas morning, several of the aquatic lads taking dally plunges in the river to acclimate themselves to the cold water. Colllster Wheeler, Norman Ross and Johnny McMurray, who are keen contestants for the championship this year, are among the boys who believe in river practice. The officials for the. swim, which tarts at 11 o'clock from the Haw thorne-street bridge, with the 100-yard course taking the swimmers to a point near the Kellogg boathouse, are: Frank E. Watkins, starter; W. J. Petrain, check starter: T. Morris Dunne and Edgar Frank, timers; C. J. Straube, clerk of course; Elwood Wiles, John Heusner, Harry Hamblett and John Hanno, judges. Last year the entries totaled 70, with 17 starters. Frank E. Watkins, who is handling the event for Multnomah Club, expects to start an equal number of athletes this year. The most strenuous basketball game of the Multnomah Club League season was staged Tuesday night, the Masters and Morris fives playing to a 23-23 tie in the regulation period and consuming five minutes extra before the Masters squad won, 25-23. Dranga's basket de feated the Morris tossers. Handball men are evincing much In terest in the dinner at the Imperial Hotel on December 27.
