Home-Run Beaver Demon of 1912 Has Not Yet Signed Portland Contract, but Does Xot An v tlclpatc Any Trouble. r BT KOSCOE FAWCETT. Buddy Ryan, crack outfielder who went up to the big league two years ago from Portland, to be turned back by the Naps through Toledo a few days ago. does not think that the Players Fraternity gained much In the way of concessions from the major league owners at the recent Cincinnati con clave. "Practically the only tangible re sults -were the granting of free uni forms and free transportation," re marked Buddy yesterday at Portland ball headquarters. "Most of the own ers had long since adopted these Ideas anyway. I know I did not buy my uniforms at Cleveland." Ryan, himself a member of the Play ers' Fraternity, characterizes some of the other concessions, such as the painting of fences in deep center field green, receiving notice in writing up on release and unconditional release after ten years' service, as piffle, com monly known as bunk. "Mere recognition by the major leaguers was about the best thing that resulted from the session," added Buddy. "For the first time the players were recognized as a class, and I think the foothold ultimately will result in much good." Ryan agrees that the reserve clause !s necessary for the maintenance of basball, but at the same time he thinks the clause is illegal and that If it comes to a test in the courts it will be thrown out. The former Pacific Coast slugging demon is very pleased with the pros pects of another season west of the Rockies. Buddy received official con firmation of his release to Portland yesterday in a letter from Secretary Wald. of the- Toledo club. "I have not signed my contract with Portland yet." said Ryan, "but I do not anticipate trouble. I have had one con ference with Manager McCredie. There is nothing to this talk of me going to the outlaws. Nor do I think Chad bourne will go when the test comes." The Kansas City club, of the Ameri can Association, apparently is girding Itself against the onslaughts of the new Federal League club In that city. Tebeau has engaged Bill Armour as manager. In this period and age of all-star rampages, real system Is woefully wanting, but Cy Sanborn, of the Chi cago Tribune, has sprouted forth with an All-American ball nine thaf has class distinction protruding from all available angles. Sanborn simply gathered together the official count in the Chalmers tro phy contest, in existence for three years, and added the total points for the three campaigns. The chief point winners in the various departments naturally reflect the opinions of 11 of America's foremost critics, hence the right to all-star assumptions. Here is the list: Points. Johnson, Washington, pitcher 101 Walsh, Chicago, pitcher 5 Mathewson, New York, pitcher 64 Meyers. Now York, catcher 6(J Daubert, Brooklyn, first base 79 Collins. Philadelphia, second base so linker. Philadelphia, third base 48 Wtcner, Pittsburg,' shortstop 77 Cobb. Detroit, left field 84 Speaker. Boston, centerfleld lot Jackson, Cleveland, risht field 87 Seven of the ten Johnson, Walsh, Collins, Baker, Cobb, Speaker and Jackson are from the American League. Harry Stewart, former Venice pitcher, will do mound duty for the San Jose club of the California State Circuit next year. Behind the plate will be Charley Arbogast. 1913 Angel. "Best move Tom Stephens has made this year," said Manager Mike Steffani, when informed of the deal put through at Los Angeles. Stewart is a nice lit tle pitcher, but "best move this year" dosen't embrace much of a tribute, in asmuch as this is January. v The unexpected sale of ' Cutcher Paddy Rohrer, of the Oaks, to Sacra mento, emphasizes last Fall's rumors that bad blood existed between Man ager revlln and his yonug receiver. Ievlin, it is said, did not take kindly to Rohrer's apparent listlessness be hind the plate. With Mitze and Rohrer both among the discards only Alexander and Rob erts remain on the Oaks' backstopping roster. Alexander has a good peg, but Is a weak hitter, while Roberts Is not by any means an experienced catcher. Devlin may find himself weak in the catching department before 1S14 rolls by.

KILLIFER CASE PUZZLES Charles Weeghman Refuses to Re ceive -From Postman Registered Package, Said to Contain Kil- . lifer's Federal Contract. CHICAGO. Jan. 22. Outlaw and or ganized ball considered war measures here today. The Federal League, with a general outline of its plans already drawn up, prepared to fight against the Philadelphia Nationals' signing of William Killifer, with every legal weapon obtainable. The American Association, holding its meeting, accomplished none of the things on its programme, but devoted Its brief formal meeting and a number of informal talks to consideration of radical methods to be used In the base ball war. An attack of illness which prevented Mike Cantillon, the Minneapolis repre sentative, from attending the meeting, although he was in Chicago, was given as the reason for its brevity and for its being resumed tomorrow. Though the regular session lasted barely more than an hour, leaders of the association were reported to have discussed a plan to strengthen the Kansas City and Indianapolis teams, in whose fields the Federals will have clubs. A general pool of players was proposed to give every team a chance to better Its lineup. Charles Weeghman, owner of the Chicago Federals, signed his 89-year lease for the South Side property where the new Federal League park is to be located. He said he would let the contract for the erection of the stands tomorrow or Saturday. Regarding the report that the To ronto franchise in the Federal League might be transferred to Cincinnati, President Gllmore refused to talk. Except that the league had prepared for war in time of peace, Gllmore would not discuss the plan of action which will result from the signing of William Killifer by the Philadelphia Nationals after he signed with the Chicago Fed erals. Every point that might be made In court was watched- for by the league officials today, however. With this in view. Weegham today refused to receive from a postman a registered package marked in one cor ner "William Killifer," and thought to contain Kllllfer's contract with the Federal League and tho advance money said to have been given him by Weeg ham. KANSAS CITY. Jan. 22. Ad Bren- nan, the Philadelphia National League pitcher, will remain with the Federal League, according to a statement he made here today. "I'm going to "stick' with . Tinker," Brennan said. Brennan said that since he signed with the Chicago Federals the Philadelphia club had offered him a salary in excess of that to be paid him by Chicago. Joe Tinker, manager of the Chicago federal League club, will be here to morrow to talk with Beals Becker, out fielder of the Philadelphia Nationals, who is coming from his home in Wich ita. Becker, it is said, has been offered a substantial bonus to sign a three year contract with the new league. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 22. "If William Killifer plays baseball at all he will play with the Federal League, E. E. Gates, general counsel for the Federal League, said tonight in dis cussing the action of the player in signing a contract with the Federal League and subsequently signing to play with the Philadelphia National League team. CINCINNATI, O.. Jan. 22. This city, which is the headquarters of organized baseball, inasmuch as the office of the National Commission' is located here, is seriously threatened by an invasion of the Federal League. At a secret meet ing, held last night in the office of a law firm, it was tentatively decided to switch the franchise of the Toronto Federal League club to Cincinnati. At the meeting were President James A. Gllmore, of the Federal League; E, mmmmmmm ;; ft . -v- ., mm. ' . MM y Toledo Exhibition Company Secretary. E. Gates, counsel for the league; Joseph Dixon, president of the newly-organized City League, and Paul Connolly, an at torney. VAXCOUTER AND HILL TO PLAY Washington Five Will Sleet Military School Quintet Tonight. The Hill Military Academy basket ball team will meet the Vancouver, Wash., High School quintet in the lo cal gymnasium tonight. The trans Columbia team downed the Portland squad 24 to 23 in one of the first games of the season and tonight's fight prom ises to be a warm one. The home team will have but one change in the original lineup, Robin son being replaced by Jake Risley, the former Lincoln High athlete. Robinson was injured in practice Tuesday and in the game Wednesday against the heavy Columbia University aggregation he was in agony throughout and as a result Coach Earlywine will save him for the Portland Interscholastlc League contests. The match will start at 8 o'clock and at present a dance is being planned in honor of the visiting players. The Hill second team will play the Portland Academy Juniors this afternoon at 4 o'clock. BANKERS RESUSCITATE LEAGUE Basketball Schedule to Bo Made Oat at Meeting Today. The Bankers' Basketball League was placed again In operation at a meeting of representatives from six banks at the American Institute of Banking rooms In the Multnomah Hotel Wednes day night. Six teams have joined and the sched ule will be made up at a second meet ing at the same place tonight at 5:30. This league had a successful season last year and with better players in several instances it is looking forward to a more successful one this year. Spaldlngs have put up a trophy. The teams which compose the league are: First National, United States Na tional, Bank of California, Lumber men's National, Northwestern National and Hlbernla Savings Banks. Mount Angel to Play Silverton. MT. ANGEL COLLEGE, Mt, Angel, Or., Jan. 22. (Special.) The game of basketball between the Silverton Com mercial Club and the college will be played January 25 here. There was some difficulty In securing a neutral referee who would be satisfactory to both sides, but after much correspond ence the two managers agreed to put the game Into the hands of C. Camp bell, of the Multnomah Club, who Is well known in athletic circles and for a number of years has refereed a larga per cent of club games. SPORT-NEWS OU cannot stop these ravaging Feds. The backers of the new league are out strong after all the ballplayers of the universe, and, if they do not win out ultimately, it will be because energy holds forth no re wards. The latest player to be offered a berth Is Mike Lynch, manager of the Spokane club of Kwwwjyea-j- tne ixortnwesrern League. The burly Irishman was given a chance to manage one of the teams in the new circuit, ac cording to Biddy Bishop, of the Ti- coma News, his salary to start in at $6500 and raise to $8500 in three years. Here's the letter 4 Brer Bishop flashes to prove the asser Mike Lynch. tion Chlrnen. Til- Jan. 14. 1914 Mr. Tacoma, Wash. Dear Friend: I wish you would see Mike Lynch and ask him It n Is in a position to play ball with the Federal League. President Gllmore has asked me to write you. and If Mike can slun, be win be given the management of one of. the rlnrs mavbe Baltimore. Gllmore would want him to sign for three years. Mike will get a salary of SC500 for the first year, $7500 for the second and $S500 for the third. The money will be placed in escrow and he can draw his salary monthly In advance, as soon as he signs his contract These tieople have the money. and thev are going to make good. I wish vou would let me hear from you at once, Wire soon as you see Mike. Keep this quiet and rlease. don't mention any names. After he signs, you can then make it public. Your friend. J y. J" The billet doux was addressed to friend of Mike's in Tacoma, where Lynch resides. Lynch, however, as yet has received no direct offer and he re fuses to comment. Mike is a good manager, without question, and could handle a club in the new outlaw league with credit to himself. Two or three years ago he was given a chance to boss an American Assocla tlon club, but spurned It, as his inter ests are all here on the Pacific Coast. Gunboat Smith is going upon the stage and one of his stunts will be a monologue explaining how he became a white hope. It should be labeled confession instead of a monologue. Following a hurried trip to the ball yard yesterday Walter McCredie came back to the. Teon building headquar ters much relieved. "After taking an Inventory of Metzger's peanuts and hot dogs I find that not one has Jumped to the Federal League," said Walter. "A few of the dogs a're growling, but I JEFFERSON BEATEN BY LINCOLN, 38-20 East Side Quintet Draws Even in First Half, but Is Out played in Second.

Coach Jamison s Jefferson High basketball team went down to a 38-to-20 defeat at the hands of the fast Lincoln High quintet on the Young Men's Christian Association floor yesterday. More than 200 wit nessed the contest and Referee Grilley called 18 fouls on Jefferson and 13 on the winners. The first half ended 1 to 11, with the East Siders on the long end. After getting a severe lacing at the hands of Coach Borleske, the winners came back and rushed their opponents off the floor. The Lincoln team scored 27 points the last half, while the losers could score only six. Layman Bonney, who was such a star In the Jefferson-Portland Academy game last week, scoring 20 points in that one match, was taken out' five minutes after the start of the last pe riod. Three times in the first half he was knocked out and he started the second half in a dazed condition. Soon after he was taken out the West Siders ran wild with the ball. For the Jefferson team, Bonney was a star while he lasted and scored four points on fouls. Captain Cooper reg istered two field baskets. Herzog was high man for the losers, scoring two baskets and two fouls. Hendrickson threw the most sensational basket of the day in the last half, when he tossed the ball, with one hand free, from the middle of the floor. The winning team showed superior teamwork, all members playing clever ball, although the first half they were quite dormant: Captain Clerin was the highest individual scorer, with 18 points, while Caesar was second, with five field baskets, totaling ten points. The guarding of Schildneckt of the winners was a big factor in the victory, while Lillard also held his man down to two baskets. Lee Waldron, of Lincoln, was the surprise of the game, for time after time he eluded- his guard and sent the ball to a teammate who registered bas kets. He also came in for a share of the applause by shooting two sensa tional baskets during the matinee. Following is the lineups of the two quintets: Lincoln (38) Jefferson (20) Caesar F.

ACADEMY DEFEATS OREGONIA Lighter Players Go Down in Last Minutes of Play, 2 3-17, The Oregonia basketball team showed vait improvement through the coaching of Milton Gevurtz, but weight and ex perience was too much for it and it lost to the Portland Academy second quintet. 23 to 17, on the winners' floor last night.

The University of Idaho has agreed to give Washington $1000 guarantee for a game at Moscow on October 17, but Manager Horr has turned it down, saying: "Your proposition certainly is fair, but the 17th is too early for our young and inexperienced boys to' play such a gruelling game as football.

It is noticed that Otto Stlfel. presi dent of the St. Louis Federal League ciud, is viDrating again. But once more he has been driven into line. When he was about to desert the ship back 1 December, incidentally taking with him most of the other backers of clubs who would lose their confidence, too, if his millions were withdrawn, he was whipped into line by the success of the Tinker deal from a Federal League standpoint. jrle Immediately ordered Manager Mordecai Brown to sign bunch of players of the $5000 grade. vvnen he found how expensive Hand lan 8 Park was going to prove. Otto got coia ieet again ana oegan to figure on some cheaper way to get a playing field for his team. By this time, how ever, the Chicago men had got in so far they could not get out, so they in sisted on exercising Stifel's option on the very day it was to have expired ana put up most of the cash. Here Stt fel, whipped back in line once more, has since turned over the cash to the Chi- cagoans that they paid out for him- after listening to their arguments to prove that he can t lose on the deal They are about right, too. His club Is bound to make expenses if a nickel is not taken in at the gate, for, as every one acquainted in St. Louis knows. Handlan's Park, the lot where all the circuses visit in that city, will continue to be rented to Ringllng's, Barnum's, Bunaio isms, main's Fireworks, etc., while the team is on the road. When enemeia of the Federal League comment that it cannot be a major league outfit without having a club In New York City, It is interesting to look back at the early times of the Ameri can League.

The game was rough and rarely resembled a basketball game. Most of the play was under the junior goal, but the usually accurate forwards could con nect seldom with the basket. Several times the Juniors showed some good team work, but for the most part the game was a mad underhand scramble for the ball. Zabel for the sophomores put up an excellent game at guard, spilling junior plays and players in rapid succession. Runyan, Tomlinson and Hauck were responsible for most of the junior scoring. The lineup for yesterday's game was: Juniors, Tomlinson and Lancefield, for wards; Runyan. center; Bradford and Hauck. guards.
