NEW CLUB HERE POSSIBLE Humor Gains Circulation but Is De nied Suggestion Made That Ewing May Plan to Move Back "to Old Park. Something big is doing- in Pacific Coast League ball circles. Another ex traordinary session of the directors has been called for today-and all hands are expected to be present in San Fran cisco for the meeting. W. W. McCredie, Portland owner, left Monday night and Harry Wolverton and Lloyd Jacobs, of the Sacramento club, doubled directly back to California yesterday afternoon, a few hours after arriving from the South. A rumor was circulated in Portland last night that the magnates were con sidering the advisability of placing the Mission team in Portland as a second club, giving continuous ball to this city. Denials Are Made. Mrs. "W. W. McCredie denied that this feature was behind the special session, however, and Acting Manager Tennant, of the Missions, was just as emphatic in his denials. "I have not heard a word concern ing such a possibility," said he. "I know the magnates are puzzled as to what course to pursue concerning our club, but I think we will either go back to Sacramento next. year or stick in San Krancisrti. Possible Move Suggested. "It may be that Ewing contemplates moving to his old stand and it would be a wise move. I think if Ewing had his new park at the site 'of the old one every club in the league would have finished with a neat balance to the good." "Honolulu" Johnny Williams did not come north with the Missions, owing to the illness of his wife in Los Angeles, so Portland fans will not see the great rightpaw this year. Williams was drafted last Fall by Detroit and stuck in the big ring until a few weeks ago. SACRAMENTO 3LEX HOLD OFF League Officials Leave California Capital Without Making Deal. SACRAMENTO, Cal.,- Sept. 22. (Spe cial.) President Baum, Cal Ewing and Hen Berry, of the Pacific Coast League, left Sacramento this afternoon with no announcement to make in regard to their conference with local business men relative to the return of Coast League baseball to this city next year. The business men, however, say that the proposition, as laid before them, was one for strict local ownership and management of a Coast League club, if there is to be one here next year. Sacramento business men must not only finance the club through the season, but must buy the club and players as a starter. Manager Wolverton is so deeply in volved financially that the league has taken over" his club for the rest of this season, and it is his club that the league 13 trying to dispose of next year. The local business men's committee will meet in a few .days to consider the situation, the Coast Leaguers having 'said that if Sacramento does not want Coast League baseball, San Diego, Tacoma or some other city will receive a chance. Before any definite action is taken locally, how ever, the business men will get in communication with their chairman, J. M. Anderson, who is in Chicago, where he will meet President Gilmore, of the Federal League, with a view to learninK the intentions of the out laws for the Coast. fourth time this year, has been encir cled and stopped short by a mysterious something. It must be the JINX! Kabbit Maranville, the sensational shortstop of the Boston Braves, is now being called the "100-pound edition of Hans Wagner." He is getting more ink and space than any two of them in the East, and from all indications there seems, to be a just reason, for all of it , He stands but five feet two inches, and seems to be the biggest little man in baseball. He and Evers seem to pull well together, and between the two of them the infield around second sta tion looks as solid as a stone walL Freddie Welsh is a vegetarian. So all the followers of that fad generally believed. In his victory on that Eng lish system of "points," vegetarians see reason for more Joy. However, the idol has fallen from the pedestal, is the story from Los An geles, in which Freddie was discovered at a roadside inn partaking generously of one nice big chicken with all the gusto that even Jack Johnson could bestow on "Southern California pigs." One fact that has been overlooked in the discussion of four-time flag win ners in the National League is that whenever a team has a chance to win four pennants in four successive years some club whose name begins with B comes along and upsets the game. To illustrate: Chicago landed the championships In 1SS0, 1881 and 1882. and Boston fin ished first in 1883. Boston landed the championships In 1891. 1892 and 1893, and Baltimore fin ished first in 1S94. - Baltimore landed the championships of 1894. 1895 and 1896, and Boston fin ished first in 1897. New York landed the championships of 1911, 1912 and 1913, and Boston fin ished in 1914. So you see if the Braves do keep. McGraw from accomplishing what was too much for Adrian Anson, Frank Selee and Ned Hanlon, they will mere ly be following precedent. RAGES FASTEST PACING RECORDS CUT AND NEW AVERAGE MADE AT COLUMBUS. Anna Bradford Lonn Own World Time to 2:01 Margaret Drueln Winner of 10,0OO Trot Stake. COLUMBUS, O., Sep. 22. At the Co lumbus grand circuit races this after noon a time average better than any ever before known was made by four sets of trotters and pacers. Thirteen heats were raced to an average of 2:05 1-5. The principal contributors to this exhibition of extreme 'speed were champions Anna Bradford and Etawah. Anna Bradford lowered her own world's record of 2:03 for 3-year-old pacers to 2:01 and took away from William the record of 2:05 "and 2:05 for a two-heat, 3-year-old pacing performance. Squantum, the con tender against the filly, was timed separately in 2:04 and 2:02. Etawah made a break in the first heat of the Capital City stake trot and it was taken by Omar in 2:05. The Geers horse then won two heats in the same time and ended the race with a fourth heat in 2:04, making the total time 8:20 and breaking the previous four-heat record of 8:20?4, made by Dudie Archdale. The final heat's time took from Soprano the record of 2:05 for a fast and fourth heat. Margaret Druein, a pronounced fa vorite, won the card's richest event. the $10,000 Columbus trotting stake, in straight heats. In the middle heat she equaled her record, 2:05, taken at Grand Rapids early this season. Carna G. won the 2:08 Dace, the first heat going to Little Alfred, which in heavy betting was a strong- teecond choice. Cleo B. was the favorite, but acted badly, barely escaping being dis- tancea in me tnirJ neat. Capital City stake. 2:08 trot a it, 5 unnn Etawah, b. h., by Al Stanley.

Sounding the Sport Reveille EVEN some of the most ardent ad mirers of the game of Rugby in California are now about ready to ad mit that the English game has seen its day in California. A paragraph in a letter from Earl R. Crabbe, former track captain at the University of California, says: "I have changed my mind about Rugby and think that the old game will be back again, but not for some time to come. The California student body wants it in a half-hearted way now, and after they have been through another season I am sure that the old game will have more followers than ever." Captain Charles Brickley, of the Harvard football team, has given away the secret of his punting ac curacy. He spent the Summer at Ivy Virginia, and in his camp had two goal posts erected. Instead of footballs. he used tennis balls and declares that the small weight and smaller surfaces had a tendency to improve his ac curacy. It is said that Yale students dis covered the secret first and attempted to replace the tennis balls with can nan balls, but Brickley discovered the substitution before breaking his foot. The old fourth-pennant jinx the bugaboo of the greatest managers is on the trail of the Giants and Mc Graw. Never in modern history has a ball club team been able to win the pen rant four times in succession. Three successive conquests are not uncom mon, but the fourth victory has defied strongest efforts of the strongest teams. Fred Clarke led his Pirate hosts to the top in 1901, 1902. 1903. but the jinx stopped him in 1904. Prank Chance won with the Cubs In 1906, 1907. 1908, only to fall in 1909. Hughie Jennings had three winning years in succession. 1907, 1908, 1909 but not in . 1910.

FRAN'KIE BVUXS WINS OX FOCL Decision Over Azevedo in Seventh Kound Stops Punishment. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22. (Spe cial.) Frankie Burns received the de cision over Joe Azevedo tonight in the seventh round of their scheduled 15 round bout. Burns was declared the winner by Referee Griffin on a foul after Azevedo had been cautioned sev eral times for butting and other un fair tactics. Despite being returned winner. Burn was a sorry spectacle from the pun ishment Azevedo had inflicted on him. On the other hand, Azevedo seemed as powerful as an ox and had he not been adjudged guilty ot foul tactics un doubtedly would have been returned the winner via the knockout route.
