7 TTTK MOTIXINTr ORF.GOXIAN, TUESDAY. MAT 5, 1914. FEDERALLEABUE has EFFECT ON CHIPS Poor Early Showing of Giants and Athletics Explained by Christy Mathewson. PLAYERS TOO CONFIDENT Stars More Concerned in Making Bigger Money Than in Playing,. Says McGraw Salaries to Drop If 'Federals Are Recognized. BY CHRISTY M ATHEWSOX. The Giants star Pitcher. NEW YORK, May 4. (Special.) The Federal league is affecting baseball. I hold that it Is largely responsible for the upsets in the dope so far, and I maintain that it has had a good deal to do with the poor starts of the Athletics and Giants, both teams ex pectins to Etart away in front, and each having gotten off to a. bad begin ning. Few of the ballplayers tnem selves realize this, but nevertheless the new league is doing it. Why aren't the Ciiants and Athletics now comfortably ahead of the field as generally predicted before the season opened? Why? Well, both teams are afflicted with overconfidence and over cockiness. Now, as I have said, the ballplayers themselves do not realize this fact. But away back in think that, if they the backers of the Federals are stand ing with fountain pens poised ready to hand them big checks to sign with the new league. Because the mem bers of each of these clubs have their heads they don't make good, won several cnam- .a a . think that ttfey are stars and can loaf and always win in the end. This feel ing has taken more pennants from clubs than any -other one cause. "My trouble this year,' declared Mc Graw the other day, "is g-oing to be to keep this team hustling. So much has happened in baseball lately that it has made the ballplayers think more about the chances of bigger money than playing ball. Both the Athletics and the Giants must be prodded, and I ex pect to use the prod all season. In both cases there are too many stars." Members of both the Giants and the Athletics have considered the Federal League more than they realize. They believe that they are going to win pennants in their leagues again, and I -don't think a man on either club has ever really seriously considered jump ing this year, because they all know how much there is to be made out of the world's series. But if the two teams begin to drag behind the play ers will think along this course. "Well, suppose we do lose the cham pionship this year? We can sign up with the other league for more money next win ter. nai is in liih u&lck. ui their heads now, though perhaps they don't admit it to themselves. But it is looked on in the light of a life-saver just the same. That is Just where most of the ball players are mistaken. The Federal League will either be busted wide open next Winter or else it will be In organized baseball. That all depends upon how its patronage holds up. Fans rushed out to see the teams in this organization play the opening games In order to get a line on it, but this will not.be the case throughout the season in my opinion. Some of the clubs are bound to drop down toward the bottom of . the standing, and the fans are going to lose interest in these, Also the Federal League has met the first bad break of luck in its career with the present Mexican war situa tion. The interest in the war news and the conditions In Mexico, if the war drags out, will hurt the attendance at all the games this season, but the new league, whlcl has not yet established itself, will be the greatest sufferer from this as a matter of course. I also believe the attendance will fall off rapidly, and I still believe that the league won't last strong through the season. , However, if it breaks so that the Feds are taken into organized base ball, the salaries are bound to be chopped, and if the league cracks, or ganized baseball can tear into its pay roll, as it will. Therefore, players can not yet afford to bank too strongly on the chance of jumping to the Feds. But this possibility, with overcontl dence, is hurting both the Giants and the Athletics.

Robinson, pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, is one of the two men in this part of the county who have fultilled the strict requir nienta of the Portland Salmon Club and has obtained one of the envied but tons. The other successful candidate was Fred Smith, of Park Place. To obtain a salmon button the can didate must fish with a nine-thread line, tested to 18 pounds; six ounce tackle and a six-ounce rod of two sec tions. He must land the fish in the boat without the aid of any other per son. The catcher of a 20-pound fish under these stipulations is entitled to receive a bronze button, of a 30-pound lish a silver button, and of a 40-pound fish a gold button. Mr. Robinson has a bronze button and Fred Smith a silver one. The pastor devoted the better part of several days to catching his fish. The first three he caught, tilnlling all the requirements, were over 19 pounds, and it was not until a few days before the opening of the gill netting sea son that he landed the fourth, weigh ing over 21 pounds.

RITCHIE TELLS OFFER TERMS FOR WHITE MISSTATED OR MIStXDERSTOOD, HE SAYS. Guarantee of 910,000 With Privilege of SO l'er Cent Asked Lewis Accused of Trying to Work Up Sentiment. SAN FRANCISCO, May 4. (Special.) That Milwaukee promoters and Nate Lewis, manager of Charley White, have either misunderstood or are misrepre senting conditions as regards what the lightweight champion wants for a match with White, is the declaration made today by Willie Ritchie. Chicago dispatches were to the effect that Ritchie wanted a guarantee of 910,. 000, with the privilege of 40 per cent, and that in addition he wanted a part of White s percentage set aside for his own particular benefit. "I have made only one proposition to Andrews, the Milwaukee promoter," said Ritchie. "1 told him that I would take the match for a guarantee r-t $10, 000, with the privilege of accepting 50 per cent of the gross receipts. What White is to be paid Is not a matter that concerns me, so long as my offer is ac cepted. At no time did I have an under standing with Andrews that I would accept the same terms as for the Wol- gast match, which Included the same guarantee, with the privilege of 40 per cent of the receipts. 1 "It looks to me as if Nate Lew wants to work up sentiment against me and in favor of White. Harry Foley did write Andrews that White was lucky to have a match with the cham pion and explains how I had to give way on every point to get the A olgast match, but there was nothing said in the letter about our dictating what White was to receive." TWO MILERS MAY MEET OLIVER MILLARD CHALLENGED IN BEHALF OP HAP HOBGOOD. Dr. Stewart of Agricultural Collegre Aka Olympic Club Runner Who Set Record to Face Agsle Star. SAN FRANCISCO, May 4 (Special.) The men who proved themselves the best two-milers on the Pacific Coast in the conference meet Saturday may be seen in action on May 16 in a special race in the Northwest. Dr. Frank Stewart, of Oregon Agri cultural College, has challenged Oliver Millard, of the Olympic Club, in behalf of the Oregon Agricultural College athlete, Guy Hobgood. Millard is con sidering the proposition and will know Tuesday whether business will permit him to take up the match, which he is eager to do. Millard ran two miles 9:34 in a spe cial event, breaking the half-hour-old record of Hobgood, who had beaten Wood's former record by winning the conference two-mile in 9:37 1-5. M'CREDIE THINKS TRIP WILL BE VICTORIOUS Manager of Portland Team Predicts That at Least Half of Gaines Will Be Won Figures Show Pitchers Not Wobbly. "We expect to win at least 50 per cent of our games during ,the three weeks trip away from home. The fort night of hot weather in Los Angeles Impending will do wonders for the Beavers." The above optimistic declaration by Walter McCredie, coupled with the fact that Harry Pape. a veteran pitcher, is to join the Portland Coast League Club next week, will sere to buoy local hopes until the Beavers do some actual demonstrating against the Angels. Manager McCredie took his entire outfit, except Pitchers Peet and Hanson and Catcher Perkins, when he said goodby to Oregon soil Sunday night. The Beavers have won only one series tnus far, that of the openins week against Sacramento by a S to 2 margin, but they are not far behind the leaders and it will take only a couple of good weeks to put them among the leaders. There doesn't appear to be what might be termed a "weak spot" in either the defense or attack of the whole Beavers' structure. Bobby Davis is not hitting yet. nor is he coming in on grounders as fast as he might, but Bobby is sure to strike his 1913 stride before long. Most of the other batters are per forming up to snuff. Judging by the averages, but the trouble seems to be they are not bitting in the pinches. There has been complaint of & wobbly pitching corps, but a review of last week's figures puts the skids under most of that theorizing as applied to the Seal series. McCredie's pitchers al YACHTING ON ANEW Sparrow and Swallow Make Trip Up to Falls. OTHER BOATS ALSO READY Weekly Dances Are Being- Held on Friday Nights Houseboat Colony Looks Like Floating Island With Gardens on Floats. The yachting season on the Willam ette opened Sunday. The Sparrow and the Swallow, two ef the big Class B larks, made their first extended trip to the falls. -Pre-season overhauling of some of the other boats also has been finished and they were out trying their new wings. The Wauna has had some new plank ing inserted and again looks to be one of the ewellest boats on the river. The big cruiser will be painted this week, ready to stand out at the harbor line with the rest of the white-winged boats. Greyling: I on Ways. Captain Todd's Greyling is on the ways and will be ready to strive for the Summer's races in about two weeks. The Greyling is one of the new type and will have to be recognized as a contender in all the races of the year. The Virginia, another of the same type of boat, also is ready for the Sum mer. One of the biggest boats now is Wiley's Halycon, the big. roomy cruiser. It will be able to make ocean trips, but this Summer will content itself with cruising on the Columbia. The Manasquan, Commodore Menden- hall's cruiser, returned from the dry dock and is in service. Weekly Dances Are On. The weekly dances for members and friends are now on. The next will be Friday night and each Friday there after. The houseboat colony will be ar ranged this week to conform with the Summer front and arrangements. The whole looks like a. floating island, for the members have gone in for garden ing on the floats. A new thing on the river is the Woodside-Troast grocery boat, which calls on the river dwellers. The boat is doing more business than many gro cery shops on more stable foundations. Its territory is from Oregon City to St- Helens. Frank O. Creasey and Mrs. Creasey have returned from England, where they went visiting some time ago. Mr. Creasey looked over some of the sail boats over there and is said to have some new rigging up his sleeve to be displayed in the Decoration day races. JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL WIXS McMinnville Team Is Defeated in Track and Field Meet. M'MINNVILLE, Or.. May t. Spe cial.) The Jefferson High School team won the track and field meet here Sat urday, defeating McMinnville High Scnool by a score of 71 to 61. Jefferson had far better long-dis-tanso runners taking all three places in the 880 and 440 and first and Becond place in the mile, while McMinnville obtained all three places in the discus and javelin events and the first two places in the high jump. Flynn for McMinnville -was the star point winner in the meet, annexing 14 points, while Bonnie for Jefferson was a close second in points, taking 12. NATIONAL LEAGUE. St. Louis 6, Chicago 1. CHICAGO, May 4. St. Louis defeated Chicago, 6 to 1, in the final game of the series. The contest was a pitching duel between Lavender and Hobinson until the eighth inning, when Pierce took the mound, after Lavender was taken out to allow a pinch hitter to bat for him.

Pitchers are not supposed to hold their opponents runless, and apparently they have been doing their share. Hi West lost two games of the three by scores of 3-2 and 2-1. Krause lost on game 4-2. Martinonl held the Seals to three runs, winning 4-3: Higginbotham to one run, winning 2-1, and Krausa beat Pernoll 5-2 on his comeback. So. on the whole, nobody has any complaint against Mack's pitchers as they appeared against the Seals. If the sluggers had been hitting at the right times Portland would have taken about five games. Only once did the Seals score more than three runs in a game. Down south Venice continued its vic torious march onward, stomping all over the Angels for the second time this year. Meantime Sacramento ad ministered a scientific trimming to the Oaks. If it weren't that Hogan invariably leads the league along about this time every season, only to hit the toboggan and do a "Slide, Kelly" act about July or September, there might be cause to begin phrasing verbal laurel wreaths to hang upon Happy's brow. But the series two weeks hence against Portland will give a more ac curate rating on the respective teams. Portland is supposed to open against the Angels today, but chances are there will be no Tuesday game, due to insecure train connections.

May 4A formal pro test of the game between the Cincin nati a .d Pittsburg- teams here yester day was mailed to President John K. Tener, of the National League, by Man ager Herzog, of the Cincinnati team, today. Herzog alleges that in the 11th in ning, as a third strike was being de livered to Miller, a Cincinnati bats man, a ball that previously had been kknocked out of the park, was thrown opck onto the field and his Miller on the leg. He stepped back. Herzoor claims. Just as thep itched ball went over the plate and was called out on strikes. Gossip of the Diamond L. A.

Connie Mack's flOO.000 infield is due for a break, according to latest ad vices from the East. Barry's knee is in such bad shape that Connie is groom ing a wondderful youngster by the name of Kopf for short. Arthur Devlin never boasts of his fistic prowess, but New Yorkers will tell you that he can go some. Bow- erman, the old catcher and a tough guy, tried to clean Devlin, then a youngster, but what Devlin did to him in a few minutes was shameful.

The only opposition now comes from the Incorporated Law So ciety, the chartered body of solicitors. The question will be put to a test in parliament during the present session if the Government can find time. Sir John Simon announced his sup port of the movement in a speech which he delivered in favor of votes for women, and Lord Haldane backed him up when a deputation waited upon him urging that the change should be made immediately.

All the universities, with the excep tion of Oxford and Cambridge, admit women to the law degree. The only objections seemed to be that women would enter into competition with men and that they were unsuitable by nature ior tne worn or solicitors. Lord Haldane advised the women to watch their chance and when there was a lull in the House of Commons to put ineir proposal forward.
