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.

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

took over the management of the

Manager Hanlon would do for me at
Brooklyn was $1500 and Baltimore of

to sell at Newark, and. after consider

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

should take up his claim and either
pay it or fight for the kale before the
National board. .

CINCINNATI, Dec. 18. 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.'

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

Fraternity Politics" Mixed In
Washington Football Election.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Se
attle, Deo. 18.-(Special.) The football
captaincy election at the university is
In a muddle as a result of charges
made by Coach Doble that a crooked
deal was framed up to elect. Patton
over Presley. 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

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

Swimmers are preparing for the
fourth annual Multnomah Club Christ

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
