Baseball Gossip
BY ROSCOBS FAWCETI.
PORTLAND'S ball colony may well
feel proud of the talent annually
sent up to the tall brush from this city.
Take this year's crop, for Instance. Out
of four 1914 graduates two are hailed
as birds of the rarest plumage namely,
Dave Bancroft of the Philadelphia Na
tionals and Carl Mays of the Boston Red
Sox.
Here is what Ernest J. Lanlgan, vet
eran major league writer, says of this
pair In the St. -Louis Sporting News:
"As to the number of stars the Na
tional and American League clubs have
picked up, we will know that next Oc
tober. I am going to predict success
for three men, two of whom I have seen
In action and the other of whom I have
heard a lot. The trio consists of Mays
of the Red Sox, a pitcher; Bancroft of
the Phillies, a shortstop, and Boland of
the Tigers, a pitcher. Mays is a chap
who knows how to pitch and he - has
shown to advantage thus far. Ban
croft may never make Phillle fans for
get Mike Doolan. but he Is an earnest
little worker, who can hit from either
side of the plate. Boland's size is
against his making good."
There is some interesting dope sur
rounding Bancroft's case This little
speed demon, it will be recalled, was
recommended to AValter McCredle for
draft from Superior, Wis., In the Fall
of 1911 and It was a Cleveland Ivory
hunter who gave the Portland manager
his hunch.
The inference 'was. of course thr
Bancroft was to land ultimately with
the Clevelands in the American League
should he develop Into major league
talent.
Bancroft began cutting up didos In
the field the moment he put foot in
Beaver livery. Unfortunately for Dave
that 1912 club of Portland's proved a
weak sister at bat, and on that sort of
a club Dave didn't look particularly
valuable because he himself was unable
to clout over the .225- mark very con
sistently. Hence, when Dave bucked on salary
matters during the Winter between
1912 and 1913 Walter McCredle prompt
ly sent him to the Portland Class B
club in the Northwestern League to do
jienance. There Dave hit a little
stronger, so he was yanked back to the
Coasters last Spring for utility -purposes.
Bobby Davis was counted upon as
regular shortpatcher last year. An In
jury early In the year gave Dave a
chance to show and after that he was
never relieved from regular duty.
Walter Mack taught him how to hit
from both sides of the plate and the re
sult was that Dave hit over .300 most
of the season.
Of course, it was a certainty that the
little shortstop would go to trie majors
during the Winter and everything was
set and fixed for his transfer to Cleve
land to complete the deal launched
some three years back.
Right thero Dave Ducked. He was
wise enough to know the advantages of
breaking in with a team wielding a
dangerous bludgeon and he didn't want
to choose the Naps. Several federal
League clubs enabled him to dictate
terms. When Walter McCredle saw he
was determined not to report to Cleve
land his sale to the Phillies was con
summated. Mays' case is a trifle different. Port
land drafted Mays from the Union As
sociation In the Fall of 1912 for the Port
land Northwestern club. Mays got off
to a particularly bad start, losing most
of his first eight or 10 games. Nick
Willjams still Insisted that' he had the
makings of a great pitcher, however,
and late in the season the big blonde
began showing his real speed.
Walter McCredie imagined he had
Mays covered up well and was intend
ing to shift him over to his Coast club
during the Winter. Blooie-bloole
Fielder Jones, who was doing a little
side scouting for Detroit out here on
the Coast, recommended his draft to
Detroit and Detroit's then-farm. Provi
dence, drafted him. Last year Mays led
the International League pitchers.

Mr. Burks took the car on the speedway
for a tryout.
The automobile entered the speedway
at the Sixty-sixth-street entrance and
made several rounds of the track. Near

down a. 20-foot bank, swept out over
the rough landscape and wrecked itself
on a stump four feet in diameter. Both
men were hurled against the stump.
Residents of the neighborhood no
tified the police, and Motorcycle Pa
trolmen Tully and Morris, with a car
from the Ambulance Service -Company,
were dispatched to the scene. The in
jured men were taken, to the Good
Samaritan Hospital.
The car was the "Blue Bird," owned
by C. C. Clinton, of the Imperial Hotel.
The same car broke through the fence
and seriously injured Roy Edwards, the
driver, during the racos last year. The
injured men expected to take the car to
Salem for the races there today.

Fishing Right Under Govern
ment Treaty Sought.
SEUFERT COMPANY IS SUED
Sam Williams, Descendant of Vaki
mas, Represented in Court by
Federal Attorney by Direc
tion of Attorney-General.
- A treaty of long ago between the
United States Government and several
tribes of Northwest Kidians named In
the treaty as the Yakima Nation, -was
Invoked yesterday in the United States
court to safeguard the fishins rights
of Sam Williams, a descendant of the
Yaktmas.
Assistant United States Attorney
Rankin, acting for Williams by direc
tion of the Attorney-General, applied to
Federal JudgeWolverton for a tempo
rary restraining order against the
Seufert Bros. Co., of The Dalles, of
which Frank A. Seufert, the wealthy
salmon cannery owner, is president.
Judge Wolverton signed the application,
and the Injunction and a subpena were
served on Mr. Seufert at The Dalles
later In the day by Deputy, Marshal
Jackson, requiring him to appear in
court at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
to show reason why a preliminary In
junction shall not be issued during the
suit.
The purpose of the action is to pre-
ASSOCIATF.D PRESS STORY
STARTS STREAM OF
LETTERS.
When the Associated Press sent
broadcast over the country an
announcement that Fred Cooper,
superintendent of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Com
pany, considered married men su
perior to single men as employes
it started something for Mr.
Cooper. Since then he has been
deluged with letters from mar
ried men who are after jobs.
Some time ago Mr. Cooper got
out a bulletin in which he de
clared that married employes
were more desirable than unmar
ried workers. It was consid
ered sufficiently interesting by
the Associated Press to send out
and It wae published in all parts
of the country. Soon Mr. Cooper
began receiving letters from men
who had read the Btorles. One
applicant for a job said he had
read about the bulletin In a Kan
sas City paper, and other letters
were received from .Arutona,
Texas. Colorado, Idaho and other
states.
Mr. Cooper is wondering If It
will be necessary to hire a private
secretary just to tell the numer
out applicants that he is eorry
he hasn't jobs enough, to go
around.
vent the Seufert Company from making
use of a fishing place known as Little
Pine Tree Point, the site of an old
Indian village at . the head of Three
Mile Rapids above The Dalles, which
the plaintiff claims by tribal rights and
those conferred by the treaty.
This treaty dates from June 9, 1853.
One of its sections grants to the Indians
the right to fish at their "usual and
accustomed places." A second right as
serted by Assistant United States At
torney Rankin in his complaint- la
based - on evidence that when an
Indian selected a fishing point as his.
it belonged to him under tribal custom
until he publicly bestowed it on some
one else, and that this even amounted
to a right to will it as property.
A Wasco Indian named Wasco
Charley fished at the point in conten
tion until a few years ago, when he
formally turned it over to Sam Wil
liams, who fished first with a dip net.
but in 1910 put in a fish wheel, which
he operated under a state license.
The present action grows out of
trouble between Williams and the
Seufert Bros. Co.. which, is alleged to
have continued for two years. Ten
specific cases are charged in the com
plaint, in which either Mr. Seufert
himself, or his son, Frank A. Seufert,
Jr., and various employes, have cut
Williams' scow adrift or. damaged his
belongihgs. On one occasion, it is de
clared, the scow was wrecked in the
rapids. It is also alleged that the
Seuferts have taken possession of the
point, after having intimidated and
threatened Williams, and are now op
erating a fish wheel there.

FORESTERS TO CLEAN UP
Camping Places Being Rid of Trash
and Quarters Made Neat.
The spirit of the clean-up has spread
and the Forest Service, too, is having
a clean-up day this week. The ranger
must have bis own station spick and
span as be-flts Government quarters but
he also must see that all camping
places within his district are in a sight
ly and sanitary condition.
There are many delightful camping
places within the National forests, but
if a camper leaves tin cans, scraps of
paper, garbage refuse, and such waste
when he departs, the next camper who
comes along notes the ideal natural
surroundings, but alas for cleanliness.
The unsightly rubbish disgusts him and
he feels impelled to travel further.
