"VICTORIA. B. C, Nov. 20. Mayor
Albee and Citizens of Portland: On be
half of the world's tour, accept our
Bincerest thanks for the great interest
taken by Portland. We are carrying
the flag of Portland emblematic of
your hospitality around the world with
us. James J. Callahan, Charles Com
lskey, John J. McGraw."
Mayor Albee yesterday received the
above telegraphic message from the
chief officials in the "Around-the-World"
tour of the New York Giants
and the Chicago Americans. It was
sent as the voyagers were on the point
of embarking for Yokohama, Japan,
on the first leg of their journey.
The flag referred to was presented
at the Portland banquet by Mayor Al
bee in behalf of W. W. McCredie and
members of the Boosters' Club,
Tour Will Advertise Portland.
Portland will be represented on the
big tour, and, as the game here was
the last played before embarkation,
the athletes will be sure to talk con
siderable Portland en route.
While the banquet in honor of the
visiting athletes was a success, con
siderable bitterness was caused by the
non-appearance of Manager McGraw, of
New York. His absence was attributed
to the management of the Oregon Hotel,
where the New York Giants were quar
tered. Charles Wright, president of the Ore
gon Hotel Company, took quick steps
to head off this sentiment, telegraph
ing McGraw for a statement. The New
York manager replied from Seattle that
he did not show up because his wife
had burled her mother only a few days
ago.
McGraw's telegram was as follows:
Seattle. Nov. 19. Charles Wright, Presi
dent Oregon Hotel Company, Portland: Re
port circulated In Portland that myself and
cithers of the Giants absented ourselves from
banquet at Multnomah Hotel last evening
through interference of manager or by sug
gestion of managment of Oregon Hotel Is
false. My personal non-appearance was due
to the fact that Mrs. McGraw burled her
mother last Saturday. JOHN J. M'GRAW.
McCredie Recalls Wager.
John K. Tener, new president of the
National League, is a close friend of
W. W. McCredie's, for the two baseball
lights sat only a few seats apart In
the National Congress in 1910.
"Come to think of it," remarked the
Portland magnate, yesterday, "Tener
owes me a hat. He wagered me that
Spring that Pittsburg would finish with
a higher percentage than Portland. We
won the pennant out here and I beat
him, but thus far have not received the
chapeau."
When Fielder Jones was in the East
a fortnight ago, baseball officials on
the inside tipped It off to him that the
Tener deal was all cut and dried.
Mr. Jones thinks the Pennsylvania
Governor will be a good baseball head.
He Is a big, strapping, good-natured
man and knows baseball through long
association.
"What they appear to need In the
National League," said Mr. Jones, "is
a man who will dominate like Ban
Johnson In the American. They need
someone to run the league. Instead of
being run by It."
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. The football
squad of the University of Chicago

Vaughn, passed through Kansas City
today en route to Moberly, Mo., where
the team will put on finishing touches

Missouri at Columbia Saturday.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 20. In the be
lief that his football pupils have at
least a fair inkling of the style of foot
ball Jowa will spring on them next

Injuries to players who are regarded as

For This Week, Priced Special at
Last week was a htrrrrmer on overcoats we old
several hundred of 'em at fifteen dollars, and we
can't remember when so pleased a lot of men
bought in our store. The remarks we overheard
were enough to make us feel that we had done
something really worth while in the way of bar
' gain-giving.
Many of the coats sold were actually worth $18,
$20, $25 and some $30.
This week we propose to outdo last week in selling overcoats. Many new coats are
added to the lot, and as the days and evenings are beginning to get chilly, they are
being snapped up in a hurry.
If you have not traded in this store, we urge you to come to this sale of Overcoats. It
will certainly be to your advantage.

On a soft and heavy field the final
game of the 1913 football schedule of
the Portland Interscholastic League
will be played today when the Colum
bia University will battle against the
Lincoln High eleven. The contest will
be played on Multnomah Field and will
start promptly at 3 P. M.

coln, will not play.
Coach Borleske will start Peterson
or Maling at one half. Freeman the
other and "Darkhorse" Newman at full
back.
Booker sustained an Injury to his
ankle In the Spokane game. '"Rusty"
Groce was injured in scrimmage last
Monday night and has been confined
to his bed.
Both teams went oat for light work
outs for the final practice last night.
Coach Callicrate's team is without the
services of Captain St. Marie.
Should Columbia University win to
day, the team will be tied with Lincoln
High for first place In the Interscho
lastic League and a post-season game
would be necessary to settle the cham
pionship. A tie game today will give
the 1913 pennant to Lincoln.
Columbia got off to a poor start the
first of the season but has been coming
tip strong the past two games. Coach
Callicrate beat Washington High School
17 to 0, the largest score ever regis
tered against Coach Earl's squad. The
best the Lincoln team could do against
the Bast Siders was 7-0.

MEDFORD, Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.)
Ad Wolgast, ex-lightweight .cham
pion of the world, retains his title as
champion check stopper. For the sec
ond time in six months the Michigan
"Wildcat has reconsidered after 'clos
lng a business deal and "nipped" real
estate men. The first of the week he
sent a check from Cadillac, Mich., for
$3a00 as a payment on his $17,000 pur
chase of the Heath ranch at Browns
boro, and then telegraphed Medford
banks to stop payment. His first pay-
men of 91000 on the ranch was cash,
and the pugilist could not recall It.
On the authority of Wolgast Miles
and Barkdull purchased equipment for
the ranch, spending nearly $1000 of
their own money.
A Mr. Brent, of San Francisco, was
Installed as manager of the ranch. He
left a week ago.
Wolgast once before stopped pay
ment on a-check given on the purchase
of the Cantrell ranch.

Sell Beer for Magnate.
LOS ANGELES. Nov. 20. (Special.)
Allan T. Baum, president of the Pa
ciflc Coast League, arrived from San
Francisco today in the role of peace
maker between Ed Maier and Cal Ew
ing a sort of circulating Hague trib
unal In the controversy over the
Jumping of Orvle Overall from the San
Francisco club to Mater's brewery.
Baum, before starting South, tele
graphed a request for a private con
ference with Maier. Before his arrival
Maier left for his ranch to prepare for
a week-end party that had been ar
ranged previously. Consequently there
was no conference between them.
Hogan and Overall, however, called
on Baum at his hotel.
Although Baum did not come South
to talk with Overall, he heard the lat-
ter's side of the case fully.
"If Ewing starts anything with me.
I will fight back and In a way that
he Is not expecting," declared Overall
after the conference.
Overall showed no inclination to re
consider his determination to quit
basball. At the same time, he denies
that he is tied up to Maier with a con- I
tract
'My future is in Maier's hands," de
clared Overall, "but rather than cause
him any trouble I would go back and
pitch for San Francisco.
I want to make it plain that Maier
did not approach me at any time. Maier
was somewhat incensed when I quit
him to Join the Chicago Cubs, and
treated me rather coolly for several
months. In view of the way I felt, I
did not feel free to again ask him for
employment. Barney Oldfield. learning
of my desire to quit the game, vol
unteered to see Maier for me, and Maier
made me a handsome offer; one that I
would have been foolish to refuse."
President Baum said he would stay
here a month if necessary to Bee Maier.

cial.) J. Cal Ewing was sick in bed
today, nursing a bad cold, and was in
no condition to follow up tne Droaa-
side he fired yesterday at Ed Maier,

Instead. Ewing will press the charge.
There is no doubt about it. Ewing is
sore through and through.
