Baseball Open to AII, Says
i Commission Chairman.
COLUMBUS. O., Nov. 12. Five com
mittees were announced by President
fcexton, of the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues at to
day's session. To one committee was
assigned the problem of devising ' a
way whereby a uniform style of con
tract can be prepared for players of
the five different classes of leagues
affiliated with the organization. Presi
dent Leavitt, of the Oakland club of
. the Pacific Coast League, heads this
committee.
President Tearney, of the Three I
League, urged a movement for a
reform in the system of drafting
players. lie attacked the practice of
major league clubs in drafting more
players than needed and then making
cancellations of the drafts, and this
sentiment received hearty support. It
was voted that such procedure be
abandoned by National Association
clubs.
Secretary Farrell read to the con
vention a list of the requests from
the Players' Fraternity. No action was
taken, it being left to the - committee
on contracts to formulate a course of
procedure to be suomitted to the con
vention for ratification. No objection
will be made to sending a committee
Into conference with the National com
mittee and representative players. The
adoption of the uniform contracts is
one of the demands made by the Play
ers' Fraternity.
August Herrmann, chairman of the
National Commission, recommended
that the baseball fraternity be repre
sented by a committee of players at
conferences rather than by persons
not connected directly with the game
as players.
Mr. Herrmann said the survival of
the Federal League must be a ques
tion only of competition.' "Baseball,"
he said, "cannot be confined to those
leagues that operate under the Na
tional agreement. The game is open
to all." The Commission pledged Its
efforts to insure that contracts be
''The0 National board of arbitration,
which has 167 cases to hear, got down
to real business this morning, and it is
expected that the docket can be cleared
by Thursday night. . Opinions among
the baseball fans here differed as to
what action the board will take re
garding the demands of the Players'
Fraternity. It Is probable that most
of the demands will be referred to a
committee.
Governor Cox, of Ohio, welcomed the
delegates to the state. Governor Hoop
er, of Tennessee, is here and will try to
persuade the National Association to
hold its next convention at Nashville.
John H. Farrell, secretary and treas
urer of the National Baseball Associa
tion, today announced decisions of the
National board of arbitration, which
were reached after a session of the
board which extended into the early
hours of the morning. The decisions.
In part, follow:

gary, disallowed.

lowed. '
Twenty-four additional claims were
referred to the secretary for settle
ment. An application was received
from the Canadian League for territor
ial rights to Erie. Pa., to which it Is
desired to transfer the Guelph, Ont.,
franchise. The board decided to gfve

FERGUSON or the Venice ciuo aim
Hagerman, of Portland, were the
leading strikeout Wizards among Pa
cific Coast league pitchers In 1913.
Ferguson didn't show much of a
winning percentage but he fanned 7.18
men per game, which is' some whiffing.
Hagerr..an came to w&&$sz?rr-2i
Portland from the
Western League
with a reputation
as a strikeout
artist and he lived
up to it by fan
ning close to seven
batsmen per game.
Overall of the
Seals and Krause,
Stanley and James,
of - Portland, were
next in line.
Ida witter's aver
age was 4.58. the "Rip"
Eagtnaaa,
Dutchman ranking 17th in the list.
Dickey Bayless, of the Venice bunch.
Is one batsman who has Klawitter's
"nanny" staked in the front yard.
Billy Burke, the Sacramento trainer,
tells a good one on Klawitter. Bayless
had been rapping Klawitter with an
noying regularity until one day Klaw
itter got to mixing them up.
During that game Al had Dickey al
most twisting himself off at the ankles,
nibbling at wild ones.
'Tve got something that
can't hit - at last," announced Klawit
ter. bawling it loud enough so that
everybody within 100 feet might hear,
The next game Bayless landed on
him for three singles.
During the kidding that ensued
Klawitter admitted that Bayless would
flourish as long as he was pitching
in this league. Diekey used to make
life a horror, in the Southern League.
In fact Klawitter says It was his pitch,
ing that enabled Bayless to draw
big salary in those days.
Coast League average strikeout lead,
era for 1913 are as follows:
Fereruson, 7.18; Hagerman, 6.79
Overall, 6.60; Krause, 6.85; Stanley,
5.63: James, 5.44; Klepfer, 5.40; Stroud,

BIDS ISSUED TODAY
Giant-Sox Banquet Invitations
to Be Limited.
SPREAD TO BE ROYAL ONE
Callahan and McGraw Said to Be in
Love "With Banquet Stuff" and
Somebody Must Make Speech,
So Schaefer's to Bo Heard.
Portland's baseball fans will Jump
to the desk at each call of the post
man today, for the Invitation com
mittee of the Portland Baseball Boost
ers' Association today will drop into
the mails the limited number of bids
to the big Giant-Sox feed on Tues
day, into the .mails.
Those who can rest assured of re
ceiving a card are the Portland Coast
and Northwestern baseball team mem
bers who are in the city. All those
who hail from Portland, but have been
in the big leagues during the present
Summer (present in Portland, past in
other parts of the country), will also
receive a handsomely engraved card
asking them to dine with the baseball
tourists. Those cards to the tourists
also will be sent today.
Callahan and McGraw, 'tis said, like
the banquet stuff and never miss an
opportunity to be on the speakers'
list. Callahan has had an extended ex
perience on the. stage and that makes
him a regular Ham Lewis at banquets.
But it remains for Germany Schaefer
exactly to fill the orator's bill. The
famous Washington comedian Is never
at a loss for a speech. Nor is Jack
Sheridan, the umpire, a Spring chicken
in the forensic league.
But the oratory Is not confined to
the banquets, according to G. W. Axel
son, a Chicago newspaperman who is
accompanying the athletes around the
world. Axelson says that at every
stop loud cries arise for McGraw and
Mathewson. Then out steps Schaefer
onto the observation car platform,
bowing and smiling, McGraw in
repl lea.
The crowd, if not hep to the pseudo
stunt, usually responds with a frantic
cheer for Muggsy. As a grand finale
out meanders Secretary Sparrow, and
Comlskey is given three cheers. As
Sparrow traveled with a circus for
many years, he generally gets away
with his fakery. and the natives huzzah
the train out of town happy in the
knowledge that they have seen two
of the greatest figures in baseball.
Among those will dine with Portland
fans and the tourists is Eddie Mensor,
who returned yesterday from a season
with Pittsburg. The former wearer of
the Beaver uniform had a good season
of it in the East.
REED DORMITORY WINS, 6 TO 0
Line Bucks Following Fumble Send
Ball Over "Day Dodger's" Iiine.
In a well-played game of football
yesterday at Reed College the dormi
tory team defeated the day students by
Lhe score of 6 to 0. The single touch
down of the game came in the first
quarter after six minutes of play.
Lancefield kicked off to Irle, who
was downed on his own 20-yard line.
Alter a few bucks at the line the "day
dodgers" fumbled and the dormitory
men started the ball down the field. A
fumble gave the ball to the "dodgers,"
who lost it a minute lat'sr in the same
way. Then on line bucks by Hauck,
Lancefield and Sabin, the ball was car
ried over for a touchdown. Lancefield
failed to kick goal. The same team
played a 0-0 tie a. week ago.
Lancefield, at half, called the sig
nals for the dormitory, team and suc
ceeded in giving the team more life
than it had in the last game. He ran
the team well and played a star game
both on defense and offense. Piper
also starred for the winners.
The teams lined up as . follows:

DOBIE REFUSES BATTLE
WASHINGTON COACH SCORNS CHAL
LENGE FROM WILLAMETTE.
Sneetland Predict Oregon Will Win
in Portland Game Seattle Tram
Weakest in Years, Says Expert.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem,
Or., Nov. 12. (Special.) Coach Dobie.
of the University of Washington, when
questioned Saturday by Manager Paget
in Albany after the State University-
Oregon Agricultural College game con
cerning a game between the University
of Washington and Willamette in case
Washington defeats Oregon in Port
land Saturday, informed the Willam
ette representative that he had all the
trouble he wanted within the confer
ence without hunting for it outside.
Dobie said even if Willamette did
defeat Oregon, . Washington would
have everything to lose and nothing to
gain by playing the Salem team. Do
bie also stated that O. A. C. -Saturday
was entirely a different team from a
playing point of view than that which
went to Seattle last month. "The Ore
gon Aggies are a better team than
Washington today," added Dobie.
Dr. G. J. Sweetland. Jr.. coach of
the Willamette team, is positive that
Washington will be defeated by Ore
gon. "Oregon will have a surprise for
Washington," said Coach Sweetland.
Both teams should score, but Oregon
has in Cornell and Parsons two men
who will get away around any ends.
While both are over-rated, I believe
the Washington line ahead of Dobie's
backfield from a defensive point.
Washington has been lucky. I believe
that Dobie never has had a team whose
real strength is as badly exaggerated
as at present.
