LEAGUE SHAKE-UP DISCUSSED OPENLY Berry Says Vernon Ownership Must Change and Portland May Lose Place. 4-CLUB CIRCUIT RUMORED Joor Attendance Here Said to Bo Likely to Cause Change Seal Owner Insists Maier Must s Be Ejected From Game. BAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Aug. 21. i Special.) Sensational developments for the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast League are appearing on the horizon at this early date. Such, im portant matters as the change in own ership of the Vernon club and the re construction of the circuit have, been up for discussion and it Is lately that the league directors have been giving them some thought. W, Henry Berry, the San Francisco magnate, returned home today from Los Angeles, where he stirred up some thing with the statement that the Coast League magnates are united, in their opinions that Ed Maier. of Vernon, should be ran out of baseball. Hen de clares that he was quoted correctly and he further adds that it is settled . that Maier will not be in the league ' next season. Poor attendance at Portland and Vernon games has been instrumental in giving rise to the story that some shift may be made In the circuit next Feasor). One rumor is to the effect that both clubs may be dropped to make a four-olub circuit comprising San Francisco, Oakland, Salt Lake and Los Angeles. This is hardly consid ered likely, however, as four-club cir cuits do not prove attractive as a rule. Expanding to eight clubs has also been discussed, but this does not ap pear feasible because of the fact that there are no available cities to taUe in. Judge McCredle suggested that Ogden might be taken In in preference to Sacramento, but another objec tion is registered here. Ogden, in the first place, is rather a small city for class A. A. ball and furthermore Sun day baseball is not permitted. Kd Maier Not Wanted. Henry Berry admitted today that the directors will have to take some action on the questions: "I know E Maier will have to be eliminated from the league for the good of baseball," he said, "Maier has refused the oppor tunity to sell out and I guess it is up to the league to act. I am not in favor of confiscating his property, but we cannot go on as we have in the past. "Maier has failed to live up to the league rules and has caused Buch dis sension that I know two of our club owners who want to quit for that rea son alone. Juggling with the player and salary limits has been disastrous. The way Mitze and Mitchell were switched araund was a joke. The worst part, however, was causing play ers on either clubs to become dissatis fied. "Ballplayers stick pretty close to gether and know about each other's business. I know that Art Fromme, Whaling, Daley, Mitchell and others have phoney contracts with the Vernon club. They are getting more money than their contracts call for, so that the club can officially remain under the $4500 salary limit. "We were forced to cut our high-priced players and other clubs did the same. Now. when the players learn that the Tigers are still drawing big salaries, it naturally causes them to be disgruntled. Game Hurt by Moves. "i believe that was the trouble with Bill Steen. I know he was dissatis fied, and thafs about the only reason I could ascribe to it. Such things hurt the game." , Berry declines to discuss the make up of the circuit for next year, on the grounds that it is a bit too early. He does admit, though, that Portland Is proving a frost and something should be done. It is difficult, he says, to find a substitute. Ogden is scratched. Instead of the Utah city. Berry would prefer taking in San Jose or Fresno. 103 PLAYERS RECALLED MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS EXERCISE OPTIONS LV MINORS.

Leftc and Rights. KID WILLIAMS has grown tired of hearing Johnny Ertle talk about himself as bantamweight champion. Williams says that just because a few of the so-called boxing experts called Ertle the champion, Estle has grown to believe it. Williams is willing to box Ertle any time or any place at 118 pounds, the same weight at which they fought in Minneapolis. m Joe Gorman is working out daily in the gymnasium of the Golden West Athletic League with Frankie Sullivan and Jack Allen for his bout with Billy 4 1 Mascott at the Rose City Athletic Club on August 29. Sullivan will meet Wal ter Knowlton, the former Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club lightweight champion, and Jack Allen, the stock yards terror, may clash with Sailor Mc Minn at 138 pounds on the same card. Willie Hoppe. the San Francisco lightweight, will take a. fling at the big game la the near future. He is thinking of going East with Al Young, theay,City boxing manager, in the latter, part of September. Tom An drews, the Milwaukee promoter, is said to have made several offers for the services of Hoppe. If Moose Tauslg comes to Portland, he may bring with him, besides Frankie Jones and Harry Pelsinger, Eddie Mil ler, another San Francisco feather weight. Although not much is heard about Miller, he is one of the best boys now boxing about San Francisco. Eddie Coulon, of New Orleans, and Jack Douglas, bantams, will go 12 rounds at St. Louis, Mo., tonight. BODIE GLINGS TO LEAD BRIEF ADVANCES HOME-RLN TO TAL TO 24 FOR SEASON.

Louis Guisto is not to be . seen in action any more by Portland fan least not this season. Big Louie, ac cording to a dispatch to The Oregonian last night from Cleveland, p., where ha has been sold, is to leave Portland for Cleveland at once on his arrival after packing his belongings here. He is expected to get Into the fray with the Cleveland Indians In next Tuesday's game. The Beavers are expected to night and Guisto will probably be on nis way h.ast before midnight. Ivan Howard, who comes to replace Guisto at first base, is already on his way to Portland and is due to reach here Thursday. Because the train which carried the Portland Baseball Club from Los An geles to Oakland was late and the Beavers missed the Shasta Limited for Portland yesterday morning, there will be no Portland-Salt Lake game at Vaughn street this afternoon. The first game of the series will start to morrow at S o'clock, and it will be Ladies' Day. Joshua Billings, the young Cleve land catcher, is oi his way to join the weavers. He will take the place of Gus Fisher, who will be out of the game for a month as a result of cracking a bone in his leg Saturday afternoon at Los Angeles. Until Billings arrives. "Chick" Baker, the young Kirkpatrlck catcher of the Inter-City League, will undoubtedly assist Roche. Reports from San Francisco are that Walter McCredie has advised Catcher Frank O'Brien, who tried out with the Seals this Spring, to report to the Beavers in Portland. O'Brien is now with the Colusa Club of the California Trolley League. Besides Gus Fisher. Outfielder "Wille. outhworth and Speas were bunged up in the two weeks at Los Angeles. Speas smashed two ribs, and it is likely that Comrade Rob Vaughn will be forced to play In right field for a few days to make up for the absence of Speas. Vaughn played this garden in the last game at Los Angeles Sunday after noon. He secured three hits out of four times up in this contest. Spokane defeated the Tacoma Club In the Northwestern League again yesterday and moved up another notch, nearer to clinching the pennant in that circuit. As soon as It does. Out fielder Kenneth Williams will report to Portland. As Tacoma is weakened by the departure of Outfielder Carson Blgbee to Pittsburg, it is thought that the Indians will soon clinch the flag, as they play Tacoma all this week. W Illlams will undoubtedly be a Beaver this week and will break in regularly upon his arrival. a a The Oakland Club of the Pacific i tjoast League is endeavoring to pur chase "Dutch" Keuther from Spokane. Reuther is a left-handed pitcher and a dandy utility man. He went to Spo kane from Salt Lake in the deal which brought Third Baseman Morris Rath from the American Association to Blankenship's town. a a a After the Bees get through here this week, Los Angeles comes, and after the Angels the Seals, for a seven-game series, with double-headers on Satur day and Sunday. On this three weeks' stand at home the Portland Club will play 24 games. Portland goes to Los Angeles to meet Vernon when It next departs from its own bailiwick. m m a As there are already double-headers scheduled Saturday and Sunday for this trip of the Bees here, which is their last one this season, caused by the heavy downpour on previous visits, the postponed game caused by the delay of the Portland club today will have to be played off when the Beavers visit Blankenshlpville for the last time this year, the week of October 10, or be left unplayed. Judge w. TV. -McCredle. president of the Portland club, abso lutely refuses to schedule a double- header on Friday. a a a The signed contract of Dick Nelson, the University of Oregon star flrst sacker. now with the Klamath Falls, Or., nine, was received In the office of Judge McCredle yesterday. a a a Pitcher Lyle Blgbee, who tried out with the Beavers this Spring and who is now pitching for Klamath Falls, is planning on entering St. Mary's Col lege, California, next term. maxt ix TrxrxG-up tourxey Williams Shows Good Form on .Meadow Club Courts.
