PAY SAID TO BE $30,000 KoMgnation Handed in as President of North-western League, Is As sertion, and Formal Change TV11I Be Next Friday. CHICAGO. Aug. 16. (Special.) Fielder Jones, the man who made pos sible the coinage of the phrase, "hitless wonders, has returned to major league haseball as manager of the St. Louis tt'fcflprfll I.eairue Club. Tho announcement was made today by .lame." A. Gilmore. president or me third league, who said that the former wizard-pilot of the White Sox. at a meeting in St. Louts last uuesuay, signed a contract to assume the bur dens now carried by Mordecai Brown. The move was withheld at Jones' re miKt to sriv him time to return to Portland to resign the presidency of the Northwestern League. The resignation was handed in this afternoon. Gilmore MM. . , Jones will supplant Brown next Fri day, when the St. Louts club is at home. He will continue In that role during the seasons of 1915 and 1916, according to the document signed by hlxn and the backers 'of the St. Louis club. Pay Said to Be S30.0O0. Just what figures were written to entice Jones back Into the game has not been told, but it Is understood that S30.000 or thereabouts will go to the ex-National and American League star lor his term of service. Because Jones i-as refused several offers from major league clubs and quit active playing because Charles Comls key would not sell him stock in the White Sox. it Is thought that at least some of the shares in the St. Louis Federals also are to be transferred to the new manager. rnnoB loft St. Louis for the Coast tVortTiosflAV and on his arrival immedi ately presented his resignation. When word of this action reacueu the Federal leader made his announce ment. Gilmore Is Tickled. "I think the deal is one of the big gest in baseball circles in years," said Oilmore. "By a coincidence I was en abled to announce it on the day picked as our finish by one of the leading op ponents. I certainly am mighty tickled to have landed Jones, for he will strengthen us in every department." Gilmore announced further that Brown, the 'three-lingered pitching marvel," whose duels with Christy Mathewson used to enliven the Cub Giants series, would remain wtth the 6L Louis Federals as a player. Brown organized and took charge of the team at the opening of the campaign, but after a spurt in which his men led the new league and roused enthusiasm for It In St. Louis, there came a slump which the manager could not over come. The resultant loss of patronage led the owners of the club to seek new managing powers. JOXKS WILL BE HOME TODAY Federals Receive Biggest Boost Since Tinker Jumped, 3IcCredie Say 9. While Fielder Jones still holds the presidency of the Northwestern League he Is expected to tender his resigna tion to the directors today upon his return home from a hurried Eastern trip. Mrs. Jones received a telegram from him yesterday saying he would be in on a morning train. He did not say how long he would remain here, but from the tenor of Chicago dispatches he is billed to cut short his jaunt to Portland and re turn Immediately to assume the bur dens of the St. Louis management. "The greatest boost the Federals have received, barring not even Joe Tinker's Jump." declared Walter Mc Credle yesterday, when informed of the consummation of the deal. "To my way of thinking. Jones and Connie Mack are the kingpins of baseball." President Gilmore. of the Federal Leaguers, gave no announcement of tfie terms of Jones' contract. It may b straight salary at around 115,000 .per season which was the amount (Jpmiskey offered Jones when he quit tlje Chicago Sox or it may be salary and a bunch of stock. jThe odds are that Mr. Jones is now a stockholder In the outlaw circuit. Several times within the past three or four years he has rejected straight salary proffers and it Is hardly thought he would ally himself with the Feds without some pretty fat-looking prize in sight. Fielder's baseball career dates back to the old outlaw days of the American League. Jones jumped Brooklyn away back in 1899 or 1900 for the Chicago Americans, so this wll not be his first splurge Into guerrilla warfare. From 1900 to 1908 Fielder was with out a peer as outfielder, captain and manager of the White Sox. He was manager when the Sox won the world's championship from the Chicago Cubs in i : nn.1 It wax his fine work as leader and player that did as much as anything else to win the title. As centerflelder he led the American League in 1902, 1903 and 1906. --Mr. Jones retired In 1909 to enter the lumber business In Portland with his brother. The lure of the game Is so great that few men, very few. in fact, have retired as Jones did, in the heydey of his career. Charles Comiskey tried several times afterwards to Induce Fielder to re turn, but his old manager could not see him for the haze. Curiously enough, the man whom Fielder Jones supplanted as manager of the Sox In 1904 is again at the helm. His name Is Jimmy Callahan. Portus Baxter, well-known Seattle sporting editor, is being strongly rec nniTAnriAi' a Mr. Jones' successor to h .ortD western ixasue ui eivicuw. . THALIA RACES DRAWING Many Steeds Ready to Vie on Track Week From Today. CENTRALIA, Wash., Aug. 16. Some of the fastest racing in the history of the Southwest Washington Fair Asso ciation, is promised for the 1914 fair, which is to open a week from tomor row. As the local fair Is the first held in the North Pacific Circuit many of the fastest horses In the Northwest are being brought here. Indian Hal, a Centralia horse owned by C. R. Wil son. Is expected to make a remarkable showing. Superintendents of the various de partments, especially the stock depart ment, report mtny Inquiries and prom ises of entries. F. A. Degeler, field collector for the fair, says the exhibits of grains and grasses will be the larg est ever shown in the state. BASEBALL MANAGER WHO TAKES OVER ST. LOUIS FEDERALS FIELDER Boston Threatens to Crowd Giants Out of Lead. OTHERS ALSO CLOSING IN American League Race Largely Is Affair of Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago Federals Man age to Stay Ahead. NEW YORK. Aug. 16. Major league baseball interest centered this week in the sensational spurt of the Boston National League team. George Stalllngs' men. whose steady upward trend has been watched with more or less apprehension by clubs ahead for more than a month, outdid the expectations of their warmest ad mirers In the closing days of the week by running the Champion New Yorks off their feet, routing them In every game of a three-game series. The Braves are now only three and a half games behind McGraw's men and playing at a clip which bids fair to land them at the top In short order, as the Giants appear to be wobbling badly in all departments. Boston, however, must keep up Its pace, not only to gain on the Giants, but to keep its second place standing intact. St. Louis and Chicago are tied, only two games behind. The American League race is much an affair of the Philadelphia Athletics with the rest comparatively nowhere. There seems little prospect of any club catching the Mackmen with their 11-game lead. In the Federal League Chicago man aged to stay ahead of Baltimore and hold the leadership, though neither of the two teams had a pleasant time. AMERICAN" LEAGUE. Detroit 13, Cleveland 6. CLEVELAND, Aug. 16. Scoring eight runs in the first two innings with the aid of only two hits, errors of com mission and omission contributing, De troit beat Cleveland 13 to 6 today.

Floyd Perkins, Returning From Moose Jaw, Says Everybody Wants to Enlist. WA AR fever is so great In Canada hat It threatens to blot out the Western Canada baseball league. Floyd Perkins, clever little backstop who was turned over to Moose Jaw by Walt McCredie, returned to Portland last week with this declaration: "The league has less than a fortnight more to run and may last out," said Perky, "but everybody is so crazy about enlisting that all interest in- baseball has been lost. Squads are drilling In the streets and over 600 left from that section for Quebec last week. "The crops are bad, too," added Per kins. "Everything is burnt up by the heat." The former Columbia preparatory athlete caught quite a number of games for Moose Jaw, changing with Wally, formerly of Seattle, but he doesn't like Western Canada. He spilt his finger some time ago and so asked for a release and got It. He Is still McCredle's property. Peet, another ex-Beaver, is on the Moose Jaw pitching staff and is doing fairly well. Kurfess, Concannon and Andreda are other Northwest leaguers on the hurling corps. Bill Tohe, of the Tigers, is playing third and Ten Million, of Seattle. Is In the outfield with Weed and Flanagan. At present Saskatoon Is well in the lead and ought to win the pennant un der Bill Hurley. Regina Is second ami Moose Jaw third, with Calgary in tho cellar. All games in the Western Canada league are played after dinner, hence the common name "Twilight League." Beavers' Bat tine Averages. AB. H. Ave. AB. H.

Walloping Sacramento has become a habit almost as Insidious as smoKin hop and wearing a cane. Twice yesterday, while the Japanese were reassuring Uncle Sam, W alter McCredie was reassuring your Uncle Dudley, his aunts and kindred nieces of something far more important than the Philippines and the port or .K-iau Chau. He was dolner his best to insure con ftdence In the market on Coast League nennants. and he succeeded aomiraDiy. His argument consisted of winning a double-header from Sacramento before 6200 howling onlookers. Portland's double victory gave seven of the eight games in the series to the leaders and sent the once proud Wol verton crew limping back southward crying and bewailing the need of a censor. Both Pitching Duels. Both games were great pitching duels. In the initial encounter Southpaw Lush unveiled himself by winning a brilliant battle from Sailor Stroud. The score was 3-1. Next to Lush. Bill Speas was the big noise in this encounter. Speas belted in the winning run in the eighth in ning, after Lush's safety, and scored the third tally a moment later on Rodgers' shot through third. In the second Sacramento defeat of the rather cloudy and morose after noon, Elmer Martlnonl neatly white washed the Wolves. 2-0, with Curvlst Malarkey up. In the days of old, back in Martinoni's parent country, the greatest honor which a commanding general could at tain was that of killing with his own hand the general of the opposing army. The Romans called it "spolia optima." Well, Roman Martinoni "spolia-d" all over Malarkey yesterday along about the hour of 4:30 o'clock. If Italy is neutral we would hate to see her excited and headed In our direc tion. Martinoni Whacks Double. With the score 0-0 in the fifth Inning and everything portending a drawn out battle. Catcher1 Brenegan dropped a single into left field. Whereupon Mar-j tlnoni meeKiy approacneu uie pians uu whacked a double that almost cleared the ramparts in deep center. Elmers terrific drive scored rene gan and won the game. His exertion almost exhausted him apparently, for the tall right - hander didn't have enough pep left to go to third on a wild pitch a moment later. Ultimately, however, Malarkey walked Bancroft and allowed Speas to hit, fill ing the bags, and Marty landed across the scoring pan via an infield out. Neither team scored after that. In the ninth Harry Wolverton again made his appearance as a pinch hitter, and, while no authentic report has come in of Niagara Falls drying up, it must be true, for Wolverton made a hit. Coast Goes Down as Official. Martlnonl tightened Immediately and the 2-0 count was sent down as official. Speas Injured his ankle sprinting after a hit in the second affair and quit in favor of Rleger. Tennant and Shinn did some tall hitting against Martinoni, and Short stop Cook did some weird fielding. For the Beavers, Rodgers was back with his red shirt, and he and Fisher monopolized the calcium In the land skirmish. Sacramento departed last night for Los Angeles, the famous Southern Cali fornia spa. Scores: First game: Sacramento i Portland BHOAE BHOAE Moran.l . . Young.2. . Orr,3 Tennant.l Coy.m. ...
