LEGAL FIGHT FOR
PLAYERS PENDING
Baseball Battle Will Be Waged
Over Miller, Cole and
Killifer.
MURPHY MAKES THREATS
Iead or Federals Says Outlaws HaTC
Clear Case for Services of
Pitcher Cole Devore
Remains Reg-nlar.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26 The first of the
legal battles soon to be waged between
the forces of "organised" and "outlaw"
baseball will concern possession of the
services of three players Ward Miller,
-King" Cole and William Killifer.
Miller, the outfielder, whose deser
tion of the Chicago Nationals for the
St. Louis Federals was announced re
cently, stepped into the legal limelight
today when President Murphy, of the
Chicago club, said he was prepared to
sue to prevent Miller playing with the
rival league. Murphy also said he
would sue the player personally for
damages should the latter play with
St. Louis.
The Federal League, through Presi
dent Gllmore, declared It had a clear
case against the New York Americans
for the services of Pitcher Cole, who
had signed a contract with the Fed
erals. The New York club has an
nounced that Cole had made a propo
sition which the club had accepted,
and argued, according to reports from
the East, that this acceptance was
equivalent to signing Cole. Cole said
he had not made terms with the New
York club, but that he had telegraphed
President Farrell In substance: "I think
I am worth so much a year." Cole em
phasized the "think" as defense.
President Gilmore said he had re
ceived legal advice today which
strengthened the Federal position in
the dispute with the Philadelphia Na
tional League club for the possession
of Killifer.
Decisions in the Miller. Cole and Kil
lifer cases, if they come to trial, are
expected to form baseball history.
Josh Devore was lost to the Federals
today and undoubtedly will be with
the Philadelphia Nationals the coming
season. He received a telegram which
set forth the club had accepted his
terms, and thereupon the Federals de
clined to carry on negotiations with
him. Devore said he received an in
crease in salary.
TEX IS R READY FOR TEST CASE
Head of Nationals Says Legal Bat
tle Cannot Come Too Soon.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26. Governor
John IC. Tener, president of the Na
tional League, who has been here two
days, after he has had several baseball
conferences, said last night he wel
comed a test to prove that Catcher Kill
ifer was the property of the Philadel
phia club and that whatever agree
ment the player made with the Chicago
Federal League club was not binding.
"It cannot come too soon for me," he
said, "for we don't believe there will
be any trouble proving in a court of
law that the Phillies have a prior right
on the services of the man. ,
"The reserve clause was inserted in
the contracts to meet Just such a con
tingency as prevails in the Killifer
case. The Federal League is making
no inroads on our circuit. The outlaws
have not landed any players of stand
ing excepting Tinker and Knabe, and
they cannot carry a whole eight-club
league alone."
Four Sign at Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 26.
Four members of the Minneapolis
American Association baseball club

GOVER.MET SAYS ISDUSTRY
WOILD PAY IN ALASKA.
Department of Agriculture State That
Large Herda Could Be Cared
for In North.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. There are
not fewer than 30,000 domesticated
reindeer in Alaska today, according to
estimates of the Department of Agri
culture. This means that the reindeer
industry is one of the largest in Alas
ka at this time, and more stringent
Government measures should be taken
to prevent the rapid destruction of
these animals. The industry under sci
entific management should develop
rapidly, according to experts, and the
present herds form a very promising
basis upon which a great industry may
be bujilt.
It appears that there have been In
stances of cross-breeding domesticated
reindeer and the native wild caribou.
It is thought that the blood of the lat
ter could be used to good advantage
in building up the reindeer herds. At
present the domesticated deer seem to
decrease in size and otherwise degen
erate because of the lack of careful se
lection of breeding animals. The cari
bou are superior in size and vigor, but
are not of so wild a nature as to- make
their domestication impracticable.
That portion of Alaska which offers
the fewest agricultural opportunities
is the region best suited to the rein
deer. So the industry may be devel
oped without encroaching on other
lines of farming. The existence of
white reindeer mos3 in all the Arctic
region of Alaska permits the occupancy
of vast regions that would otherwise
be uninhabitable. The reindeer sub
sist mainly on this native herbage.
They require no shelter and little
care beyond the restraint of a herder
to keep them from wandering. The
meat is of excellent quality and the
skins are valuable. In Europe the deer
are used for dairy and transportation
purposes, and while little attempt has
thus far been made in our territory
along these lines, there are possibilities
of similar development.
At present the individual ownership
of reindeer is principally restricted to
Eskimos and Indians. Some of the
missions still possess herds and there
are a few Government herds. No breed
ing deer may be sold to whites. The
Alaska division of the Bureau of Edu
cation has supervision of all herds, the
teachers of the Government school for
native children located nearest a herd
having immediate charge.
Besides the promising status of the
reindeer industry in the Arctic posses
ion, cattle and sheep raising, fruit
raising and the problems of the home
steader in the Far North are extensive
ly treated in the Department of Agri
culture's new bulletin "Possible Agri
cultural Development in Alaska."
According to the Investigators, there
are unsurpassed cattle and sheep rais
ing lands to be found on the Alaskan
islands and in certain places near the
shore on the mainland. Winter for
age for cattle and sheep is provided
argely from the native grasses, both
hay and silage being made. The prac
ticability of raising stock, however, ex
cept In small herds close to individual
farms, has not been sufficiently inves
tigated to warrant more than an in
timation of its possibilities. There are
serious obstacles to be considered: the
long winters, boggy land, mosquitoes
and carnivorous animals. These ob
jections, however, do not Interfere se
riously with the reindeer Industry.
MINORS WILL NOT SIGN
PLAYERS' I'ltVTF.IlMTY ADVISES
MRMBERS TO HOLD OUT.
Association's Failure to Agree to AH of
Terms of Cincinnati Agreement
Given as Reason for Friction.
NEW YORK, Jan. 26. As a result of
a disagreement between the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Clubs, which controls all the minor
leagues, and the Baseball Flayers' Fra
ternity, minor league players who arc
members of the fraternity have been
notified not to sign 1914 contracts until
further notice.
According to President David L. Fultz
of the fraternity, the formal notice sent
to members of the organization affect
ed, was made necessary because a re
fusal of the National association au
thorities to accept the Cincinnati agree
ment in its complete form and the
clause. In particular, barring and de
daring void all agreements not ap
pearing specifically in the players' con
tract. Such outside agreements which
might, for instance, provide for a spe
cial bonus under certain conditions,
were legislated against at the Cincin
nati meeting. A fine of $500 is the
penalty provided against the club mak
ing such outside agreement, and the
player is immediately and automatical
ly released and becomes a free agent
when his agreement Is proved.
Both organizations appear determined
in the deadlock and the fraternity of
ficials have notified the players that
the entire power of the new body will
be used In- their aid if the dispute is
not satisfactorily adjusted within the
next few days.

Is McCredie Preparing to Heap

Either Walter McCredie has em

Achilles, of the bum heel, tried to
capture Troy, but, after 12 years' ef
fort, gave it up disgusted. Just as some
have abandoned all hope .for the new

Odysseus, hired as press agent, stepped
to the front and began to be talked
about.
"This Troy business is getting mv

hollow society column, usually devoted
to tne muckraking of the editor's per
sonal friends. "But. speakinsr of ani
mals, I have a scheme to capture Troy.
My scheme's a horse."
Ody Gets "Home Laugh."
"Neigh, neigh," said the Athenians.
But Odysseus prevailed, anil a hi
horse was built of wood, hollow insirln
and the Athenian unemployed were
herded in there afterbeing thorough
ly vaccinated by the early antecedents
of Dr. Marcellus.
The big pine plug was then rolled tin
to Troy's front yard, right through the
gate, and up the main street, stopping
in ii-ujit or me city nail.
A friendly gift, thought the Trojans,
but they changed their mind3 a few
minutes later when the Athenians
popped out and began sticking knives
in between their ribs for the fun of the
thing.
Now, Walter McCredie isn't fond of
ancient history, for he says he is only
34 years old, nor doubtless has he ever
heard of Odysseus, Anticleia or Anti
climax, her cousin, but, isn't it barely
possible that Walter is working this

demanded $325 for 1914. Now, it is
only logical to assume that if Mn-
Credle needs his nifty gardener rather
Daaiy along about midseason, he will
be able to induce him to Jump back by

Portland will have its first chance
to see one of the 1914 basketball teams
of the Northwest Conference in action
on the Multnomah Club floor tonight,
when the Oregon Aggies will meet the
Winged "M" Jeam;
Multnomah lineup has been tenta

Aggies will not know their own front

at Seattle last night and undoubtedly
will be forced to do some shifting

Multnomah's team will be, stars of
more than usual caliber even for a
"Winged "M" team.

though Masters will be given a chance.
Rossman is a former University of

clearly in the game which the Mult
nomah Club took from the Willamette
squad Saturday night, score 29 to 12.
He is wonderfully active and a valu
able man at both offensive and defen

guard, has played many years with
the team. He seems to be a Cy Young

only instead of being about the same
Allen seems to improve as the years

Darling showed his style at center
when he played against Carson Satur

so it will be the "grad" against the

The other guard will be Toomey, the
former star of the McLoughlin Club.
He also Is a capable man and a good
teammate.
Multnomah has the players and with
a little more team work should be
able to defeat any team in the Con
