BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Bill Rodjrers does not agree with Joe
Birmlngham'a opinion ot him as a ball
player, and Bill has placed himself with
another major league club besides
Cleveland. Consequently bill will not
be captain and second-sacker on the
115 Portland Coast champions after all.
Just what club it is has not been tipped
off yet.
Rodgers telegraphed W. W. McCredie
yesterday from Cleveland begging to
he allowed to purchase his release, as
ho had an opportunity to stick in the
big show. W. W. McCredie forwarded
the wire to Walter Mack at Los An
geles. Walt is extremely anxious for
Kodgers to make good, so he consented
to give Rodgers his release from Port
land. "Hill has worked hard for Portland
during the past four years, and he de
serves the chance," remarked Judge
McCredie. "We would like to have him
back, but I guess we can get along
without him."
That Jtodgers was batting .317 for
Cleveland when turned back by Bir
mingham is shown in the last American
League averages. He ranked 12th in
the league; in fact, only such renowned
sluggers as Fournier, Cobb, Jackson,
Crawford, Mclnnis, Veatch and one or
two others being behind him. Bill
was In 15 games, seeured 13 hits, and
stole three bases.
Here Is what the Cleveland Flain
Dealer said about Kodgers at the time
of his release:
"In some way Rodgers waa a valuable
player. He had the required spirit and
disposition, and took down a batting
average of over ..TOO in the few games
he played. He was weak at the bat
againpt left-hand pitchers, however, and
his arm was not considered strong
enough for big league service, as he
required time to steady himself before
throwing."
Bill's arm never was any too strong
for throws to the plate or to third base
during his four years with Portland,
but he managed to get his man at first
or second bases, and also always landed
at or near the top in fielding. At bat
Kodgers hung around .300 for four
years, and was one of the most con
sistent pinch hitters in the league. Last
season he led the league base pilferers.
If that isn't sufficient to earn him more
than one month's trinl in a circuit not
po vastly much stronger than the Pa
rifle Coast circuit, then we don't know
the difference between a foul tip and a
balk.
It wouldn't surprise anybody to see
Bill make good on some other big
league team.

Lddle Mensor, ex-Portland midget, is
doing much traveling this year. Kddie
was sold by Pittsburg to Columbus some
weeks ago, and now Columbus has
traded him to the Newark Indians, of
the International League, for Cliff

Byron Houck has been tethered in
the little Colonial Le,ague by the Brook
lyn Federals. Maxwell. Edwards, Ma
her, Delehanty. Sommers, Walsh and
Chappelle went with him. Lee Magee
had so many ballplayers on his club

to the leader of the Timers, saying:
"Happy llogan's death is a sad blow

cific Coast League. I have known li'm
intimately for years. I traveled with
him, laughed with him, argued with
him. fought with him tho Uttlo battles
of baseball that must of necessity
arise. He was a good friend and a
good man."
Flags to Be at Half Mast.
Baum was accompanied by Tom
Stephens, vice-president of the San
Francisco club and a friend of long
standing of Hogan. The league presi
dent - announced that he certainly
would make no objection to Ed Mater's
request that games here today and to
morrow be called off. The games in
San Francisco and Salt Lake, however,
will not be postponed. Tomorrow at
3 o'clock all players will stand with
bared heads for 5 minutes, the games
being stopped out of respect for Slo
gan's memory.
The flags at all Cost League ps,rks
will be at half mast for a full week.
By these various ceremonies the league
will show the respect to Hogan's mem
ory that it feels.
All clubs will be represented at the
funeral services except St. Lake. The
time is so short that no representative
of that club could get there. Stephens
is here representing San Francisco.
Henry Berry had already left lot Salt
Lake and found he could not ge. here
in time. Some official of the Oakland
club will arrive tomorrow morning.
Reports that "Doc" White, former
Chicago American League star pitcher.
was to become manager of the Venice
club were met tonight with the state
ment that no manager had been ap
pointed yet. Orvall Overall, another
former major leaguer, has been men
