BAKER, Or., March 13. (Special.) following receipt of word from Pendle ton that releases had been sent to all the Western Trl-State players there and efforts tJ get a team there had been abandoned, the movement and all efforts to raise money here were given up, with the general feeling: that it WDuld be folly for Baker to attempt to continue an uphill fight .for funds with the other towns not a unit for the came. The Western Tri-State League has nounded its requiem, with Baker, La trrande and Pendleton, the Oregon towns represented last year, clear out and with Boise In another circuit. Efforts to start some sort of a move ment to keep up the fight for funds with a hope of getingr Lewlston In the league fell flat today, the belief be ing expressed that the transportation charges would be too great to warrant such a -- four-club league. Business men refused to subscribe further in the face of an indebtedness of $1100 from last season in Baker and they declared that the directors of last year's club who gave their notes will have to bear the loss. None of the subscriptions made thus far will be collected, since no team is to be or ganized. Efforts to get in touch with L. M. Brown, president of the league, failed today and this, as much as anything else, disheartened those who have taKBD an active interest in naving a team here this year. A meeting has been called for next Wednesday nlghf- to organize a "Twi light League" of local ball clubs, whila there Is also a prospect of a Baket County League being formed. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Santa Maria, CaL, March 13. (Special.) Qua Fisher Is sweet on Freddy Fram- back, the Idaho pitching phenom. .most wining young pitcher I ever worked with," remarked Gus today, speaking of the sextet in camp. "Fram- back. is much younger than the others, and for that reason impresses' me. 1 think that lad will be a big leaguer some day. tie has speed, a good curve ball and control, and with those essen tials he ought to develop under proper handling. Jack Gllllgan, ex-Beaver, thinks the Amorlc&n Association is faster than the Pacific Coast. ' In Jack's Judgment, the catchers and pitchers are superior. Gil Is here working out preliminary to re porting in Minneapolis. Walter Doane generally starts late in the Spring, but he seems in better condition now than on either of the two previous years he has been with Portland. Walt Is hitting the ball hard and Is faster than usual. It is going to be pretty hard to keep Bill Bpeas out of the regular outfield lineup, particularly In view of the fact that Ryan, Lober and Doane are all left-handed hitters, whereas he pokes the wagon tongue from the opposite angle. The plethora of garden talent means some hot competition, and woe betide the man who gets off to a poor start Kellerman, a Texas league infielder has been working out with the Beavers. Me is an old schoolmate of Captain itodgers. Some of the gray heads are begin ning to worry over the pitching corps. Mao has only three veterans here, and If one of the trio should start late he Would be str.ictly up against It. The Beavers began 1912 with four Veterans Henderson, Koestner, Hark nesa and Gllllg-an and the team would never have emerged from the cellar but for the great work of Hlgglnbotham and Klawitter, who were rushed West by Cleveland. If Pape reports, the out look will seem more rosy. Krapp. too, could be used to advantage, from pres ent indications. Elmer Lober formerly played with Kewanee, in the Central Association, and knew Milllgan and Brown before they reached camp. m Elmer Hanson, the San Bernardino pitching rookie, !s a double for Cashion of the Washington Climbers, according to Gus Fisher. Bobby Davis Jumped into the Coast League last year when the race was fairly well settled, and did not bump up against quite as stiff pitching as that which prevailed during the early stages of til year. Hence he may not repeat his sensational .322 batting stunt this season. But the little New Yorker is improving all the time in 'ie field and is batting strongly, too. He may fall below .300. from Spring time indications, he will be binging the leather around .2S9 or .290 most of the year. Walter McCredie would face a Numldlan lion with impunity, but ft would require a battery of 600-pound bovines to drag him before an audi ence for a speech. The other night the pastor of a local church arranged an entertain ment for the baseball boys and adver tised that Walter McCredie and Trainer "Dr." Sehmieder would share the pulpit platform with him. Walt was bedridden with an acute attack of ptomaines when that night swung around, and, while the gargoyles were taking toeholds on his anatomy. Walter Ioane was warming his chair before the packed audience. But Walt, too, is about as garrulous as a Blue Point oyster when it comes to public speaking. Hence the crack outfielder created quite a sensation in camp by responding neatly in behalf of the ball club. Phillies Sign Collegian. OAKLAND, Cal March 13.

RETURN MATCH IS TALKED Referee Says Bout Was Draw and Had "Wildcat" Charged Faulty Blow in Time He Now Would . Be Wrearing Crown. CHICAGO, March 13. (Special.) WilMe Ritchie outboxed Ad Wolgast last night at Milwaukee. Ritchie ( fought Wolgast to a finish, some say. Ritchie piled up so big a lead in clean, hard, effective hitting, that there was no comparison betwen the two men, others contend. Therefore Willie Ritchie re tains a lightweight crown. But if Wolgast had refused to con tinue fighting In the seventh round he and not the Californian would be the lightweight champion of the world to day. This fact was made known today when Referee Harry Stout asserted that Wolgast did not register a claim of foul when he dropped to the floor, but, had he done so, he, as referee, would have called a halt and ordered an ex amination. Doctors said the blow was foul. If Ritchie is the "cheese champion," as wolgast calls him, he is strong enough to be limburger. Fans who saw last night's bout, regardless of likes or dislikes, are willing today to admit Ritchie is a real champion. The best Wolgast's friends are claiming for him is a draw; none seriously claims victory. Junes Commits Faux Pas Tom Jones claims a foul was in flicted on Wolgast. Immediately about the bout Tom broke into the press stand, announcing in his stentorian tones- that all the available medicos of Chicago and Milwaukee were working over Ad. But Tom committed a little faux pas. He issued an invitation to all to go and see Ad, and Ad was chipper as a sparrow when found in his dressing room. The $11,000 he won as his end of the purse seemed to act as a sooth ing poultice to any injuries he had sustained. True, the blow did not look a bit low from the ringside, but Wolgast, when lie dropped to his knee, failed to gasp and groan convincingly until he heard the shouts from his corner. And when Harry Stout began tolling off the seconds Ad did not waste an awful lot of time regaining his feet, and when he did his work was not noticeably slow. Even the claim of foul doesn't gain Ad much sympathy. Even Ad will ad mit the alleged blow was accidental. and It requires a lot of charity to be lieve the same of some of Wolgast's butting, shouldering and elbowing. Blow Feul, Says Doctor. Dr. C. W. Mortor, a member of the Wisconsin boxing commission, who ex amined the former lightweight, said: The blow was low and foul. It was not In the pit of the stomach, but landed in the groin. Three other phy sicians who also examined him have agreed with me that Wolgast was In jured by a blow delivered low," as serted Dr. Mortor. Ad's left groin Is said to be badly- swollen. The questionable blow was delivered In the seventh round. The men were fighting savagely when Ritchie shot two hard rights to Wolgast's mid sec tion. The Michigan boy backed away and sank to the canvas. He appealed after a little while to Referee Harry Stout that -ho had been fouled, but Stout refused to consider the protest then and ordered him to resume fight ing. At the count of four Wolgast got up and fought back wickedly until the bell ended the round, "I m unable to say whether H was foul blow, as 1 had my back to the men when Ritchie landed, but thought the punch landed squarely In the pit of the stomach," Referee Bteut ex plained. "1 can't agree with tho ma jority of the newspaper oritles that Ritchie won, I believe the content was a, draw," Rltohia and. his manager, Harry Pe- ley, rotudned to Chipajj today -ASd Wt the same train was Wolgast and his manager. The fighters did not meet. but Jones approached Ritchie and asked ab'but a return match. He agreed to think it over. The champion will open a week's en gagement at the Haymarket Theater next week, after which he wit leave for California, where he battles "Har lem Tommy" Murphy April 17. Wolgast is undecided as to what he will do un til he hears something definite as to a return engagement. Pliillies Beat Jersey City. WILMINGTON. N. C, March 13.
