BV ROSCOE FAWCETT. Not sine Hetnie Heitmuller's sudden demise about three years ago have CoastLcague fans been so shocked as when the news of Hap Hogan's passing came over the telegraph wires yester day. "We Mourn for Him." This sign hung on trfipbulletin board nt the McCredle ball headquarters in the Yeon building speaks for the entire fandom of Portland. Happy was gen erally beloved by all ball lovers, not alone for his fighting picturesqueness. but for his general good nature and ready tongue backed up by a resource ful brain.

Hap broke In under Mike Fisher at Sacramento in 1902 in the old California State League, and when the Pacific Coast circuit was organized the follow ing year. Hogan stuck right on with Sacramento. He has never been out of the league since. In fact, it is said that Hogan, nlthouch one of the brainiest baseball leaders in the business, has never wit nessed a major league game in his en tire career. Term Played With Champions. Happy was born at Santa Clara, Cal., October 13. 1877. and joined Sacramento in 1302 after catching for Santa Clara College. In 1904 the Sacramento club was transferred to Tacoma and he caught the slants of Bobby Keefe, Orvte Overall and such stars for twe reasons for the famous Tacoma cham pions. In 1906 the Tacoma team was transferred to Fresno. That was the year of the earthquake and baseball was on a shaky foundation. James Agnew and Russ Hall had the Seattle club in the Coast League. Just before the start of the 1907 season. D. E. Dug dale Induced Hall to desert the Coast League and Russ received Butte in the reorganized Northwest circuit, while Dug broke his pledge to the Coast lead ers and went back into baseball as head of the Seattle North westerns. Hoftan Chosen hy Lo Anarelea. Hall's defection left the Coast with out a backer in Seattle and to bring the league down to even clubs, it was necessary to oust Fresno from the league. Thus Hogan again resumed his wandering. The Fresno players were divided amongst the remaining four cities. Portland took Perle Casey and Mott and Hogan was chosen by Los Angeles. Hogan stuck with the Angels until 1909. when the Coast League was again expanded and Los Angeles got contin uous baseball. Hap then went in as manager of the new Vernon team. Ex cept for that one trst year, he has invariably had his team in the pennant running: In 1913 the team was switched to Venice, a Coast resort about 20 miles from Los Angeles, so Happy has worn the uniforms of no fewer than six dif ferent Coast League cities. This in itself is an unusual record. Hap'a Hand Appear. In 1909 Hogan's team finished sixth. Pan Francisco winning the pennant. In 1910 Hogan boosted his club up to fourth position. Portland winning the gonfalon. In 1911 Hogan's Vernon Ti gers had a golden opportunity to win me nag. only to lose out to Portland .In the final series. In 1912 Vernon wa nosed out by Oakland by the narrow margin of four points. . In 1913 Venice was in second place as late as the middle of October, only to drop to third in the final week. Portland won its third pennant in four years with Sacramento second. Last year Venice was In first place until the first of August, and then Hogan's club began skidding until it brought up finally in fourth position. Portland again won the burgee with Los Angeles and San rrancisco in line below. i.ast winter Hogan tried to gain possession or tne Sacramento franchise, v nen the league voted the franchise to Salt Lake City Hogan lost his op- jiui lumi io oecome a magnate. in.

Passes Away in Los Angeles Aged 3 7. LOS ANGELES. May 17. The funeral of Wallace L. Bray, known to the base ball world as "Happy Hogan." manager of the Venice Coast League team, who died early today, will be held Wednes day afternoon. The Benevolent and Pro tective Order of Elks, of which he waa member, will have charge of the services. Six of the players on the Venice team will officiate as active pallbearers. The honorary pallbearers will be the re mainder of the players of the club and several prominent board officials. Tiie place of interment will not be decided until tomorrow, on the arrival of Mr. Bray's mother from Santa Clara President Ed Maier, of the Venice club, is making an effort to have the games scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday canceled. Permission to cancel the game will be requested from President Baum. of the Coast League, who will arrive here tomorrow to attend the funeral. Malady Develop Qnlckly. Mr. Bray was born October 13, 1877 in Santa Clara. Cal. He was stricken with pneumonia a week ago. The in fection quickly spread to both lungs, nd the crisis developed Friday. Hap rallied that nia:ht, however, and early Saturday cauea nis wiie to nio bedside, and with sometning ot tne blithe spirit that characterized him on the ball field told her he had conquered death. Girl, I've beaten it, he said, and that day and part of yesterday it seemed to be true. But last night he sank rapidly, and his life was prolonged for a little while only hy the use of oxygen. At 1 oclocK this morning lie HAPPY HOGAN KNOWN AS MASTER OF REPARTEE One Joke Played on Him by Portland Men Recalled Last Appearance on Diamond Typical of Ability and Nerve. - PHi w inaeca are tne uuaconn letes who can boast of decisions' over Happy Hogan in repartee. Hogan always had a witty response at the end of his tongue, and for that reason most of the rival players pre ferred "laying off" Happy when it came td indulging in the merry per siflage. Ivan Olson, former Portland short stop, now with the Cincinnati nation als, was the author of one "Joke" on Hogan that Happy always remembered. Venice was playing Portland in this city at the time it was back in 1909. Ivan Olson was on short for Portland and Ote Johnson on third. Hogan had been "riding" Olson all afternoon, un til finally Ivan determined to silence him forever. When Hogan stalked up to bat on his next turn around the batting order, Olson trotted over to third and held whispered consultation with Ote John son. Fans were puzzled, but only for one moment. Hogan hit the next pitched ball on the ground squarely into Ol son's fingers. Instead of whipping it to first, Olson picked up the ball, deliberately spat on it. turned and tossed to third, and Johnson relayed across the diamond to first base. Hogan was not what you wight call a gazelle on the paths and KXOWX AS "HAPPY HOGAJi." seemed to rally again, and then fell into a sleep from which he never awakened. Uanc Played at College. After playing college baseball with the University of the Pacific and the University of Southern California, Bray, under the name of Hogan. en tered professional ball in 190H with the Sacramento team. In 1904 he went to Tacoma, was transferred to Fresno and came to Los Angeles in 1907. His popularity assured him a perma nent place and he was made manager of the Venice club in 1909. Never a wonder as a player and the reverse of a martinet as a manager. Bray never theless was rated a success, an achieve ment in which his side-line comedy and his knowledge of human nature in the field and in the stand were no small factors. Funeral cervices for Bray will be held tomorrow by the Elks, of which order he was a member. Edward Maier, president of the Venice club, said that tomorrow's game with Portland had been called off. BAVLKSS TEMPORAUV MANAGER Venice Captain Chosen to Succeed Hogan as Team's Pilot. LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 17. (Spe cial.) -. Dick Bayless, captain of the Venice Tigers for the past t-wo years, has been named temporary manager to succeed Happy Hogan. Whether he will remain permanently at the head of the club is a puzzle, as "Doc" White, the famous Chicago White Sox pitcher, has had his eye on the Job ever since he came West a year ago. When Manager Hogan tried to gar ner in the Sacramento franchise last Winter it was freely predicted that White would succeed him should he leave the 'Tigers' management. The new boss. Dickey Bayless, was purchased from Mobile in the Southern League, in 1912. He is no spring chicken, as he has been playing ball since 1902, and is nearly 32 years old. Bayless plays outfield, and, while small in stature, is scrappy and a heavy hitter. He has twice been in the majors. In 1908 Detroit bought him from Wiclilta, Kan., and later traded him to Dayton, O. From there he went to Cincinnati, and, after finishing the season in the National League, was sold to Atlanta in the Southern League, in 1909. Ha was traded to Mobile in the same cir cuit in 1911 and then came to Venice. Spokane Auto Races Postponed. SPOKANE. May 17. The automobile races which were to be held here, begin ning today, were postponed on account of rain. The races will be held Tues day and Wednesday. the ball beat him to the bag by 20 feet. '. Happy took the joke good-naturedly, but his close friends say he never really got over it. Hogan's last appearance in actual Play occurred on Saturday. May 8, at l.os Angeles, and it was typically Ho ganesque. In the fourteenth inning of a sensa tional 2-2 game between those bitter rivals. Venice and Eos Angeles, Hogan showed his nerve by injecting himself into the fray as a pinch hitter. Kane was on third, Berger on second and Wilhoit on first; in other words, the bases were loaded. Hap stuck around the home plate and kUlded Southpaw Burns and the umpires until the count stood three balls and two strikes. Ev erything hung on one pitch of the pill. - It was a delicate situation, because if the next ball was wild Hogan would walk and force in a run. If it was a groove ball Hogan was pretty sure to hit it somewhere successfully. That is exactly what happened. Hogau ordered a general "forward movement, of all base-runners. With the move, of Burns' left flipper - they were all off on the jump. Hap chopped a high bounder down to Terry at short. Kane was already over the plate and Berger was within a few feet of it. Terry saw it was too late to throw home, so he tossed to first base. The two runs counted and won the game fur Venice, 4-2.

Dem mon. of Jefferson, and "Duke" Devon shire, of Columbia University, were tied for the honor of high point win ner, with 10 points each. Lincoln High School's baseball team Is scheduled to play the Portland Academy the afternoon of the meet and there is a probability that the game will be switched to some other date, as some of the baseball players are members of the track and field squads.
