MINOR LEAGUE EN
GATHER AT OMAHA
Baseball History Is to Be Made
in Next Five Days, Dele
gates Admit.
J
FEDS' STATUS TO BE UP
Salaries Likely to Be Revised and
Demands Made on Majors for
, Proper Remuneration for
Drafts and Sales.
OMAHA, Nov. 8. The vanguard of
the 300 or more baseball men who will
attend the annual meeting of the Na
tional Association of Professional
Baseball Clubs arrived in the city this
afternoon. Among them was James C.
llagili. of Denver, and H. L. Jones, of
Lincoln, who are members or me en
tertainment committee.
That baseball history will be made
during the next five days was gener
ally admitted by the men already in
the city. Thirty-seven minor baseball
leagues will be represented at the
meeting, delegates coming from nearly
every state in the Union and from
Canada. The meeting of the associa
tion proper covers three days, begin
ning Tuesday, but the meeting of the
board of arbitration, which will be
held tomorrow. Is considered one of the
most Important that will be held while
the baseball men are in the city. More
than 500 cases are to come before the
board and more than 150 clubs are in
terested in the decisions to be made.
Federal' Advent to Be Up.
Overshadowing all other matters to
come before the general meeting of
the association, however, will be con
sideration of the advent into profes
sional baseball of the so-called "out
law" Federal League.
That there is a possibility of there
being a general change in the topo.
graphy of the baseball map Is the be
lief of many of the delegates who are
already In the city. Into this change
enters the Class AA league clubs and
members of the American Association
and Western League are already dis
cussing the possible changes that may
be made.
It is believed by delegates that the
Federal League will seek an agree
ment by which the league shall come
into organized baseball. The conditions
under which such an arrangement
might be made were matters of in
terest. Major league club owners and
members of the National Commission
probably will have a hand in passing
on the question. ,
Salaries to Be Passed On.
Classification of leagues will be
another Important . matter to come be
fore the delegates. The question of
salaries will again be taken up, and
while the limits may be revised the
minor leagues are expected to demand
of the majors such consideration in
these matters as will make it possibla
for the smaller clubs to secure proper
remuneration for drafts and sales,
which will be in accord with their ef
forts to maintain a high standard of
professional ball.
Tomorrow there will be a big influx
or baseball men and the local commer
cial organizations have arranged to
give the visitors a royal welcome.
Mayor Dahlman will extend the greet
ing and the women accompanying the
party will be cared for by an enter
tainment committee.
Several minor leagues will hold their
annual meetings the coming week.

Xational Guard Companies Short In
Bankers' Tropliy Match.
The Bankers' Trophy match, an an
nual rifle competition in the Oregon
National Guard, was fired yesterday by
a majority of the organizations on their
home ranges. The six Portland com
panies and the Woodburn company, of
the Third Oregon Infantry, fired at the
Clackamas range with more than 200
men present. The ranges fired were
200 and 500 yards, slow fire, each com
pany firing a third of Its full strength
and the trophy going to the organiza
tion making the highest aggregate
score.
Although the day was wet and foggy
all the companies with two exceptions
had their authorized strength for the
competition on hand, and high averages
were made. The question of which or
ganization obtains the big silver trophy
will 'not be determined until all scores
are checked and compared. So far the
cavalry troop is thought to be In the
lead, with the highest score ever made

OAKLAND KEEPS CHRISTIAN
Manager to Stay With Team, but
Several Players Will Go.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 8. (Spe
cial.) All doubt as to who will manage
the. Oakland club next season' was dis
sipated today, when the Oakland, club
made the announcement that Tyler
Christian has accepted terms to con
tinue at the head of the trans-bay ag
grregation. A meeting was held and
plans for next season were mapped out
Manager Christian decided " that
would do no good to go to the minor
leagues' meeting at Omaha, as he had
planned, for, he explains, there is so
much uncertainty at present that on
does not know if he gets a ballplaye
when he purchases one. Accordingly
Tyler will wait until the situation in
the East is straightened out before h
starts building up a new club. H
has already announced "that but six or
seven of last year's squad will be re
tained, so that he will be a busy young
fellow purchasing ballplayers to fill the
vacant places.
nl for Bancroft to Go to Phillies
Hugi In Balance BecMiae Walt
McCredle Isn't Satisfied.
BY EOSCOE FAWCETT.
In the East the football fans have
had a couple of surprises sprung on
them, but the gridiron ship has been
running remarkably "even Stephen" In
the Pacifio Northwest.
Washington, Oregon and the Oregon
Aggies the trio favored in the early
season prognostications have come
thundering down the turnpike to the
finals, and one more week likely will
determine the championship.
Next Saturday, in fact, will be a foot
ball field day.
At Seattle Oregon will brush against
its hlstorio enemy, Washington. In
Portland the Oregon Aggies will tackle
a heavy, formidable opponent in Idaho.
At Spokane Whitman and Washington
State the Belgians of the 1914 cam
paign will mud up Newt Culver's
baseball diamond.
Now, somebody is pretty sure to be
mauled, maimed and otherwise mis
treated, and it doesn't appear alto
gether far-fetched to suggest that that
somebody will no longer figure in the
12-polnt type during the present cam
paign. Twelve-point type doesn't like
losers, and vice versa.
The Oregon Aggies already have
the Aggies' and Washlngtons' one.
The odds in the Seattle game Satur
day naturally favor Washington to re
peat. Still this man Hugo Bezdek is a
wonder at whipping new timber into
shape, and it is not altogether improb
Jones, promised him he would join the able that Oregon will wallop the
Federals and then used this as an ex-
use to draw an increase in pay from
the Pittsburg club. Jimmy Viox was
also in on the deal, according to the
report.
I knew that the players were un
der contract to the Pirates and did not
bother either one of them," said Jones.
No further overtures have been made
McCredie by the Phillies in regards to
the two players they are to offer in the
deal whereby they secure Dave Ban
croft from the Beavers, according to
Walt McCredie. The Beaver leader has
his eye on two of the Phillies' lnfleld
ers. but the ones offered him were not
his liking and as a consequence the
deal still is hanging in the balance.
Dave recently signed a contract with
the National League club, but it will be
void unless McCredie is satisfied with
the players he receives in exchange.
Bill Steen. former Beaver twlrler.
now serving spitballs for the Cleveland
Naps, is singing the praises or Bill
Rodgers to all Eastern baseball writers
who will give him their ear. He is
credited with the following boost for
Bill in a Chicago paper;
This man Rodgers will surprise the
fans. He is a clever fielder, a good
hitter and fast on the bases.
"Bill would have been in the majors
before this but- for an injury he met
with a couple of years ago. He broke
a leg when he was Just beginning to
look good. This prevented him from
coming up.
"Rodgers Btarted out at shortstop
when I was in Portland. He broke all
fumblilng records. He was shifted to
second base and immediately made
good."
"It appears to me that someone Is
rather anxious to see Davis and Arrel
lanes go to the pen," said Judge Mc
Credie last evening, in speaking of the
clearing of the players' names in con
nection with the charges preferred
against them by a girl.
After being freed on one charge, the
playerse are to be retried on a more
serious chargeaThan the first one, ac
cording to the players' attorneys.
It seems strange that an attempt
should be made to convict the boys on
iils second charge, when they have al
ready been cleared on the previous
one, saw judge McCredie.
champs, despite Wee Coyle's prediction
that Washington will win, 35-0.
That would bring the title to one of
the Oregon teams, providing the Aggies
get by Idaho. And, better still, it
would clear the decks for one of the
greatest football engagements In
Northwest history November 21, when
the two Oregon teams are slated to
tangle "at Corvallis.
Oregon's loss of Halfback Malarkey
and Quarterback Cornell is particular
ly unfortunate, coming as it does on
the eve of Oregon's big battle with the
champs.
Idaho's defeat by Washington State
at Pullman Saturday by the close score
of 3-0 emphasizes Coach Stewart's
warning as to the Aggie-Idaho skir
mish Saturday on Multnomah Field.
Barring Durham's field goal the two
teams fought nip-and-tuck, and it
wouldn't surprise any of the wise ones
to Bee the Aggie-Idaho game decided via
this same aerial route.
Idaho has a team averaging close to
173 or 174 pounds, and Griffith hasn't
a recruit on the roster. F ery man is
a veteran either of Moscow teams of
the past or of some standard college
elsewhere.
Relative to the Oregon-Washington
tangle, Frank Gibb, the clever writer
on the Seattle Sun, has dug down into
the catacombs and his archaeological
findings may cheer some of the lemon
yellow adherents before the storm.
So here we plagiarize.
It appears that away back in 1904
to 1908. when George Shepherd first
began running for Congress, Washing
ton had almost as hard a time break
ing a winning streak perpetrated by
Oregon as Hugo Bezdek is having now.
During the four years, 1904 to 1908.
Oregon defeated Washington thrice
and tied the Seattleites the fourth
game. Also In 1900 Oregon ran up a
total of 43 to 0 on Washington, and
that's the biggest score that has ever
been inflicted in the series of Inter
varsity play.
Washington smeared Idaho 50-0 In
1909 and the Oregon Aggies 47-0 last
Fall in Seattle, but never has our sis
ter in dryness been able to retaliate
on Oregon for that initial slam
ent players of the city who are not
affiliated with any certain contingent
to represent his club. According to re
ports, the famous Frank E. Watklns
eleven is being disorganized because of
the failure of some of the stars to come
out for practice.
Following is the schedule of the re
maining games in the heavyweight

France at Stockholm In 1912. Previous

eral races at distance exceeding one
mile and he had set his heart on win
ning the 6000-meter Olympic champion
ship. After a terrific struggle Hannes
Kolehmalnen. the Finnish champion
who is now in this country, beat Bouin
for first honors by inches, while Hut
son, the great English runner, finished
third, 150 yards back of the Finn and
Frenchman in that event at Stockholm.
An American golfer who played sev

the 60-year-old caddiy doled out the
club he thought proper for each snot

Ellensburg Wins From Wapato 2 6-6.
WAPATO. Wash.. Nov. 8. (Special.)
In one of the cleanest and fastest
games ever played on the local grid
iron the Wapato High School team
went down to defeat yesterday before
the Ellensburg High School team by a
score of 26 to 6. All the scores were
made in the first half and were the
result of touchdowns. Ellensburg
gains were made chiefly through line
plays, a few end runs figuring for
good gains. The forward pass failed
every time but one, which resulted in
a touchdown. On the contrary, prac
tically all the gains by Wapato were
the result of forward passes. The de
fensive work of Wapato In the second
half was particularly commendable.
Portland's new Ice Hippodrome, the
largest artificial rink in the world,
opens officially tonight at 8 o'clock.
After months of anxious waiting
Portland Ice-skating enthusiasts will
usher In the popular Winter sport at
the hippodrome. The rink has an ice
surface of 27,285 square feet. It I
321 feet long and 85 feet wide.
Saturday night officials of the rink
decided to allow skating and despite
the fact that no announcement had
been made 1000 skaters took advantage
of the opportunity. Yesterday nearly
460 others skated In the morning, sou
later in the day and 1000 again at
night.
. Old skates, long forgotten, were re
moved from trunks wnere tney naa
been packed away when the folks
moved West. The grin or anticipation
spread over many faces yesterday
when skates were bundled up and the
owners boarded cars for the hippo
drome.
At the rink it was noticeable that the
theory of "a habit once learned is ne'er
forgotten" was conspicuous in exam,
pies everywhere.
Old-Tlmcrs Try Again.
"It's been 'steen years since I wa
on ice last." commented one gray
haired skater as he started across the
ice, his steels traveling with ease at
each stroke. His expression was but
one of many. The common topic for
discussion was, "How many years since
leaving the leer
Everywhere, all over the ice, were
old men. young men, women, girls,
boys and mere tots all fascinated with
the new Portland sport.
Ice-skating was demonstrated yes
terdav as the leading pastime in Port
land for months to come. There were
no casualties, no serious accidents, and
those who fell, for there were many
took the "'accidents" good naturedly.
The artificial rink differs from th
indoor rinks of the East, in that the
air Is warmer and no wraps other than
ordinary Indoor clothing are required.
Native Oregonlans, curious, jour
neyed to tho rink in large numbers and
filled the spectators' seats. "Never
enjoyed myself so much in my life."
remarked one rural visitor. I nearly
aughed myself to death watching
them fall tryin' to keep time to the
music"
Instructors provided by the Hippo
drome management were in attendance
everywhere, ready to assist beginners
again last night.
1SOO Skaters Expected.
Sore ankles, the usual ailment of
those on the ice for the first time, and
'that tired feeling were forgotten
when Fred Prasp's 10-piece band
struck' up. Hilarious music made
many "sweep the ice" when beginners
forgot their caution and tried to keep
time. Fancy skating by professionals
also proved to be an attraction.
Tonight, however, is the "big night.
The official grand opening will be at
o clock with special events. Port
land society will "move" to the rink
tonight, and already several hundred
box seats have been reserved. Fully
1500 skaters are expected. The rink
will accommodate 2500 skaters and
5000 spectators.
'We are satisfied that Ice-skating
will prove popular In Portland," said
J. George Keller, secretary and treas
urer of the rink, yesterday, "and we
will do all in our power to furnish the
best music and ice at all times. In
addition we will stage professional
hockey games. Portland being a mem
ber of the International League."
The Hippodrome is at Twentieth and
Marshall streets and has direct service
on the depot and Morrison, Lovejoy,
Twenty-third-street, North and South
Portland and Sixteenth-street cars.
Sessions will be held daily at 10 A. M.,
3 P. M. and 8 P. M.
