TIIE MORXIXG OREGONIA, SAJTJBDAY, JANUARY 29, 1016. 11 IS OUT FOR SCALP Syndicate Baseball Charges and Interest in Three Clubs Are Denied. AX GROUND FOR BEAVERS Conference With Judge Proposed to Clear Up Fuss Directness of Statements, However, Held In Doubt. c V FRAVCtscro. Jan. 28. (Special.) Walter McCredie, of the Portland Tt.avara. hna been nominated for mem' bership in the Ananias lub bCy Henry Berry, owner ot the Kan Francisco f-eala. The lie has passed, and with it the threat that McCredie, jr ne nas dmh responsible for statements charging Berry with being: involred in syndicate haseball In calltorms, must timer ni his words or suffer the penalty 01 Bet ting out of baseball for life. Berry's back is up because of in sinuations, and finally what he has been riven to understand are direct charges from the Beaver manager reflecting on hi honesty in baseball. The San Franciscan declares he Is ready to board a train at once for Portland to meet Walter lace to lace and tell him just what he thinks of his declarations. McCredie Opposed to Change. Earlier in the week, when the news rached Portland that the three Southern owners bad agreed to call a special meeting to discuss the salary limit problem, McCredie, dead opposed to any increase, went so far as to make some unkind insinuations. "That's what comes of interlocking directorates," he said, referring to the fan Francisco, Los Angeles and Ver non clubs. "Do yoa. mean to charge syndicate JaseballT" he was asked. "A rose by any other name would smell the same." was the response of McCredie who isn't always prepared to call a spade a spade. Word came to Berry otday that Mc Credie had made some further state . raenta along the same line and that he had gone so far as to charge Berry with being interested In these three California clubs. Dtrert Arcoaatloa Doobted. Right there Berry went up in the air. KMrEt Af nil T Hnn't believe McCredie ever made any such direct accusation," he declared. "But if he did. or if he is casting reflections on his partners in California, the thing will have to fitop. It is decidedly aaginst baseball ethics for a man to own an interest in more than one club. Virtually, therefore, Walter McCredie Is accusing me of being crooked. I have been above board in all my deal ings and I am not going to stand for it. I.le Is Given to Charges. "If McCredie has made the state ments with which he is charged I want to say that they are a pack of lies. Further. I will go to Portland and make him eat his words. "I think -the world and. all of Judge McCredie. whom I consider is an hon orable man in baseball, and I will see him and see if he is coins to let Walter go along in that same manner; I, for one, would favor bringing Walter Mc Credie before the Coast League and drumming him out of baseball. "I ran prove in 15 minutes that the only club I own is the San Francisco club, and McCredie has no business making such assertions unless he can prove them, which will be impossible." EERKYti THREAT IS SCORXEB McCredie Jokingly Advises Seal Magnate to Keep Cool. "Tell Hen Berry not to (ret too peeved or he might break a blood vessel," remarked Walter McCredie. rather jokingly, when the San. Francisco magnate's threat to have him put out of the league was read to him over the telephone. "Anything I have said about inter locking directorates goes. If Mr. Berry doesn't look out some day I'll go down and capture his books and show hira up. Mr. Berry may put me out of the league, but I wouldn't advise IJodys to guarantee it under about 99 99-100 per cent premium."

BY BILLY EVANS, American League Umpire. rpiIERE is a big league star who sot i ms start id tne woiion oum League, when VIcksburg, Miss., was a member of that circuit. Now if there s one thing that VIcksburg is noted for, it is for its hills. The VIcksburg team bad been going badly and the at tendance had fallen off sadly. It was never necessary for the treasurer of the club to have a bodyguard when he went back to the city to bank the day's receipts. While waiting for a car to go out to the park, a stranger accosted the present day big leaguer and askea tnat ne oe directed as to how he could reach the ball grounds. The player, seeing a chance that the attendance might be boosted one person, was very polite, told the stranger that he was waiting for such a car and that he could ride out with him. When they reached the park, the player got off the car, but the stranger said he believed he would take the same car back, me player was naturally disappointed. Thought you intended seeing tne game," said the player. No. I haven t any desire to see tne VIcksburg . team play," replied the stranger. simply wanted to see if there was really enough level ground in Vicksburg to build a ball park." X Taking long chances seems to be the favorite diversion ot owner unaries Comiskey. of the Chicago Americans. Whenever a rival club owner has a player he desires to offer for trade or sale, he never falls to let the owner ot the White Sox in on the fact. He is -certain that Comiskey will go the limit to get the player, provided tho Chicago magnate figures said player will strengthen his club. Every club in the American league was anxious to secure Joe Jackson when the Cleveland club made it known that player was for sale. Comiskey secured him because no other magnate was willing to pay any thing like the price placed on the Cleveland star. It takes a lot of nerve to part with 131,500 and three pretty good ballplayers, which Comiskey was forced to do when he got Jackson. It was a long chance and. as events proved, didn't prove profitable, but had Jackson turned the trick which Comis key figured he could with a break in luck, it would have proved a great piece of baseball maneuvering on the part of the Chicago magnate. When Mr. Co miskey secured Jackson, the Chicago club was in the pennant hunt strongly. At the time it seemed that the acqui sition ot a slugging outfielder would Just about round out the club by add ing that much-needed and desired hit ting strength. A good many experts fi cured if Comiskey had an outfielder like Cobb, Speaker or Jackson, he would Just about win. or course, tne rirsi iw named were out of the question, but the condition of the Cleveland club made it possible to secure Jackson, and Mr. Comiskey put over the deal. It was a corking sale lor owner bomers and at the time looked as though it might prove an equally beneficial one for Mr. Comiskey. , Jackson fell into a batting slump Just . . . . j. a . . aDOUt le lime no jutueu iuo irnu biiu ne reo-iiy ucvu, . . during the remainder of the season.

Marty O'Toole is one of the few big minor league stars Comiskey failed to get. He was hot after the spltball wlsard when O'Toole was the star of the American Association, and forced Own er Dreyfus, of Pittsburg, to pay a fabu lous price. Only two of the many high, priced stars secured by Mr. Comiskey have Justified the sum expended. No matter what Comiskey paid for Eddie Collins, he is worth It a couple of times. -No matter what Comiskey paid for Catcher Ray Schalk. he got a bar gain. These two stare played a won derful part in keeping Chicago in the race last season and thereby paved the way for big receipts at the gate. Col lins and Schalk are big attractions, both are young, and, for years, barring accidents of course, should be mighty valuable to the Comiskey forces.

HOLMES STOCKS UP TEAM Western Leaguers Have S Players From Fielder Jones -Kores Is Fourth Man in St. Louis Deal, but McCredie Balks. Portland yesterday disposed of two more of the "pork-and-beans bunch that Walter McCredie hauled around the Coast circuit last year" to quote the words of the Los Angeles Exam iner. These two athletes with the alleged lunchroom pedigrees are Elmer Lober, outfielder, and George Kahler, pitcher, and both were sold outright to the Lin coln club of the Western League. Fred Derrick also will be sold to some team in this league within the next few days, and there is some chance that Harry Krause may be peddled to the same locality. Mccreaie onerea Krause in place of Kahler, but "Ducky Holmes chose Kahler. When these two last named players are bartered away McCredie s house cleaning will be completed. Earlier in the-Wlnter he sold Bobby Davis to Oak land and Rube Evans to Spokane. "Ducky" Holmes seems to have stocked up his Lincoln team in great shape during the past few days. Holmes used to play under Fielder Jones at Chicago and Jones sent his erstwhile friend three players Pitchers Crowley and East and First Baseman bchmandt. Crowley is the Cleveland amateur pitcher who twirled against the T aco rn a team at San Francisco last a)l in the alleged amateur championships. Walter McCredie predicts a great fu ture for him. v According to the current issue of the St. Louis Sporting News, "one of the players that Jones would gladly have given to Portland was Arthur .Kores, lnfielder." Mack admitted as much yesterday and said he wouldn't give Vaughn for six like Kores. "I haven't any room for Kores on my club." said he. "Vaughn is a z-i bet ter ballplayer than Kores and is better than Rodgers. Kores couldn't beat out Ward at short and Stump is a more valuable third baseman than Korea." ... Although he didn't say so in plain etymology. McCredie inferred also that he could have obtained Ivan Howard from St. Louis. Howard played 48 games for the Browns last year at first base and fielded .392; played 23 games at third base and fielded .923; played 17 games in- the outfield and fielded .957. In his 113 games he batted .278 and stole 29 bases, four of them, being thefts of the home plate. From this showing It Is doubtful if Jones could get the former Angel out of- the big leagues. The St. Louts Cardinals, for one tnmg, are said to be extremely sweet on Howard. . . Arthur Bues, former Northwestern League third baseman, and last year with Jersey City, will guard the torrid corner for the Kansas City Blues in the American Association this season.

There was an appeal in the personali ties of Frank Isbell, Jiggs Donahue, Pportligh.1r ASy Gmntond Rice. Nick Altrock. Doc 'White, Billy Sulli van. Ed Walsh. Fielder Jones was even more soznb.er than Connie Mack one of the game's greatest living crabs but for all that Mr. Jones had far more of that per sonal outlay that either made you like him or hate him. Thousands come to see the Giants play largely because they want to see McGraw beaten. Through the West especially John J. has always had the knack of arousing the fan. His walk to third base was a challenge to the multitude. They yearned to see his clan overwhelmed eS they have always tilled the parks to root against his men. There are things in baseball as baseball is a business and an amuse ment that count as well as ability to bat, field, run and throw. The Star Cards of Baseball, The leading cards of baseball have nearly always been the star players. But not all star players have been at tractions at the gate. Ten years ago Mathewson, Wagner and Lajoie were the three who drew In the largest crowds. For the last few years Ty Cobb has been the main attraction, not only because he is a great ballplayer, but also because his system teems with the personal appeal. Who in the present era is next to Cobb? Walter Johnson. Eddie Collins. Tris Speaker, Grover Alexander? Last season there was but little choice among Alexander, Speaker and John son. But none of these had the appeal that Mathewson, Wagner, Waddell and others carried years ago. Tom ShevIIn aa Professor, An opinion of a member of the Tale faculty on Tom Shevltn's skill as a teacher may be found on page ou oi Professor William Lyon Phelps' "Teach ins: in School and College," published in 1912. He wrote: "Every teacher and professor In the country ought to go at least once to football practice and watch the patient, energetic ana efficient coaching. It is real teaching. I learned a great deal watching a Yale graduate who had come all the way from Minnesota to New Haven to give instruction to a few football candidates. He took two men to a corner of the Held and for over an hour drilled them on one minute point of the game. He went over this experiment at least a hundred times, with absolutely unflag ging energy and enthusiasm. I saw a great light, and taught English litera ture better the next morning." DOBIE IXVITED TO WISCONSIN Conference With University Regents to Be Over Coaching Job. SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 28. (Special) Gllmour Doble, former football coach at the University of Washington, has been Invited to go to Madison, Wis., to meet some of the regents of the University of Wisconsin whose duty it is to select a football coach to succeed Bill Juneau. A few days ago word was sent out from Madison that Paul Wlthington, a Harvard man, who has been acting as one of the assistants of Percy Haugh ton, had been practically agreed upon for the job at Wisconsin. He was recommended by the president - of the University of Wisconsin, who takes so much Interest in football that he sat in a box, absorbed in a book, during the game between Wisconsin and Perdue. But some of the regents hearkened to the demand of the students, who want Dobie, and they hung up the appoint ment. The fact that Dobie has been asked to go to Madison shows that there, is a strong sentiment there in favor of him. Some of the regents oppose him because he is a Minnesota graduate, and as Wisconsin and Minnesota are natural rivals; they think it would be poor busi ness to have a Minnesota man coaching the team. " " " Something definite will be done about the matter in a few days. VANCOUVER FTVE . WINS, 10-17 Oregon City High School Quintet Loses Fast, Rough Game. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 28. (Spe cial.)

Lands,. Out for Bant on " "Third Strike and Advances' -Man Who Is on First." BY BILLY EVANS. ' American League Umpire. 1 CLEVELAND, O., Jan.' 28. (Special.) Getting the break, means everything in baseball. When a team is winning the breaks Invariably come its way. . In a good many cases the ' break relates only to the luck of the game. In other cases a winning team often creates the break by doing the unexpected, which often -puts- the opposition in. the air and becomes the turning point In the ball game. Just to Illustrate how doing the un expected often creates the break, I am going back to the third game of the 1915 world s series. When Boston went to bat in the last half of the ninth the score was a tie at 1 to 1. Hooper the first man up led off with a clean singlet a low liner over second base. It was up to Scott . to bunt and get Hooper to second If possibleIor a run at this stage meant the ball game. Na tional League batters insist it is al most impossible to bunt Alexander safely in a pinch. On his first two attempts Scott failed to connect, and with two strikes on him. it seemed certain that he would swing at the next good offering. The Fhilly lniield, which bad been dashing in on each pitch, -moved back a trifle, evidently figuring that there was no chance that Scott would essay a bunt on the third strike: AU Caaght Napping; by Play. Scott caught everybody napping. I was among those who never looked for the play, when he laid down a perfect bunt between first and the pitcher's box on the next ball Alexander de livered. Only, a great play on the part of Niehoff enabled him to get a de cidedly close decision at first over Scotty. Hooper, ot course, moved to second on the play. I still recall the gasp of surprise that -came from all over, the field, as Scotty pulled a play, that is rarely at tempted during the season, and seldom pulled successfully. It was a daring play to take, but Scott is one of those easy-going chaps, who is willing to take any kind of a chance on the field, when from his indifferent style of play one would expect just the opposite methods. Had Scott bunted foul, he would have been declared out and a lot of people would have probably classed the play as a prize bone. No doubt many others would have insisted that Scott must have forgotten that he already had two strikes on him. .... Another break of the game in which Scotty figured, enabled the Phillies to win their only game of the series. This play came up In the eighth inning of the first game with the score a tie, a Philly runner.. on first and one out Play by Barry Amasea. With the hit Vind run play called for. Bancroft hit a fast grounder through the box, on which Shore had no chance. to make a play. It looked like the surest kind of a base hit, for the ball was hit so fast it seemed there was no chance in the world to make a play on it. Stock on first base at the time was off with the start of the pitch. Scott decided there was no chance for a play at second, even though he saw Barry, dashing after the ball. It seemed that stock would surely try to go to third on the hit, and Scott started to move in the direction of third to do his part in a play at that bag. As he started in that direction, to his great surprise, as well as that of every other person in the park, Barry was seen to stop the ball with his ungloved hand. Immediately he made a move to toss it to second, but found the bag un covered. Scott hastily retreated his steps, but reached the bag a trifle late and both runners were safe. The break of the game had put runners on first and second with oVly one out. ' CALLAHAN MAT QUIT GAME Oaks' New Player Much Traded and Sold During 1915. CHEHALIS.' Wash., Jan. 28. (Spe cial.)
