Pacific Coast League baseball fans
will know within a few days whether
or not the threatened strike situation
In the East will spread west of the
Rockies. Walter Boles, catcher on the
Los Angeles club. Is the Western rep
resentative of the Baseball Player's'
Fraternity, and news reached local ball,
headquarters yesterday that Boles was
taking & vote of .the frat members in
the- Coast circuit to decide whether
they will strike In sympathy or not.
It Is said the 60 members in the
league took a secret poll last Kali and
voted to stick with their Eastern
brethren In case of a showdown.
In Los Angeles yesterday Boles ad
mitted that the players in the Coast
League have no grievances, but he
thinks his position with the fraternity
demands that he at least take a vote
On the Question.
The players on the Portland club who
are believed to be affiliated with the
organization are: Hagerman,, Rodgers,
Wiliev Nixon, Southworth and possibly
Ward. Ken Williams, Gus Fisher, Bill
Btumpf, O'Brien, Byron Houck, Hol
locher and a couple of young pitchers
either are signed or are not affiliated
with the fraternity, so McCredie ought
to be able to put a fair team in the
Held even should ' his frat members
walk out on him.
The truth of the matter Is, baseball
players have rather much of a snap.
They are on duty not more than three
or four hours a day and they draw
down more money for this brief toll
than they could in any other line of
business more, in fact, than most of
the fans who watch them perform.
Barring an occasional Injustice, the
diamond athletes are fairly well treated
by the magnates.
Players In the Pacific Coast League
draw down from $225 to $400 a month
and traveling expenses when on the
road. When away from home the mag
nates ride them around in Pullmans
and put them up at the best hotels.
With only BO members out of about
120 players in the Coast League, and
some of these BO already signed, the
baseball fraternity officials are not in
a position to do much dictating In
Allan T. Baum's circuit. If these 60
etrike they will be out of a job that's
about the gist of It.
It will be no trick at all for the
magnates to forage around In the B
leagues and produce enough young
blood to fill out their teams, and very
acceptably at that.
Walter McCredie received a letter
from Honolulu yesterday offering him
a flat guarantee to take his Beavers
to the islands for Spring training.
"Looks pretty good," remarked the
Portland manager last night. "I put a
couple of steamship men on the case
today and if we can get the proper
accommodations on the boats we will
pass Stockton up In favor of Honolulu.
They're having some carnival 'over
there soon and I am told we might
have some trouble shipping 30 men
ever In one bnnch."
Cleveland has turneu over to Mil
waukee three players Outfielders Dan
Moeller, Catcher DeBerry and Infielder
Barbare. McCredie was sweet on De
Berry and had a bid- m for him.
The Vernon ball club Is angling- for
the pervices of Pitcher Bill Steen, of
Ban Francisco. Steen failed to keep
in condition last season and Manager
W'olverton. of the Seals, is not banking
on him at all In his plans for 1917.
Byron Houck and Gus Fisher showed
vp at ball headquarters Monday night
and signed contracts for th6 coming
year. W. W. McCredie will not send
out contracts to his unsigned athletes
until February 1, or thereabouts.

Welsh's holding tactics brought a
roar of disapproval from the audience
that continued through the fifth round.

to box or draw a penalty. In every

An argument ended the basketball
fame played last night between the
Peninsula Vikings and the Newsboys
second team at the Neighborhood
House. The score was 17 to 17 with
three minutes more to play when the
referee called a double foul when the
newsboys maintained that only a foul
on the Vikings should have been
called.
The newsboys would not stand for
the ruling of the official, who told
them to walk off the floor if they did
not intend to obey. They did so.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16. Albert D.
femaree, pitcher, last season with the
Philadelphia Nationals, and James S.

cago Nationals, were traded for each
other today, according to an announce
ment by President Weeghman, of the
local club. It was announced no money
was involved in the transaction.
APPARENTLY some of the large
Eastern colleges are preparing to
go back to the old system which
allows a man to compete in athletics
for four years, though all the student's
athletic work has been done in one
college.
The freshman rule has caused several
kinds of complications In the past. Stu
dents who enter large colleges from
small ones are at the present time
charged with the number of years they
competed in athletics before entering
the large institution and they are per
mitted then to compete until they have
had four years in all.
But the lads who remain in the one
college are permitted only three years
as they are ineligible during their
freshman years.
Penn, Harvard and Tale are three of
the big colleges which do not intend to
handicap themselves in the future. Not
long after the Harvard game it was
announced that Captain Black, of the
Ell football eleven, would return for- a
post-graduate course next Fall. Bob
Folwell, of Pennsylvania, took the Bame
stand recently at Pasadena when Lus
Wray, Penn's brilliant center, said he
wanted a post-graduate course. It will
be Wray's fourth year and the same is
true of Howard Berry. Berry played
one year at Muhlenberg before he en
tered Pennsylvania and the New Tear's
game with Oregon completed his sec
ond year of football at Penn.
Harvard, too, is working along the
same tack. The Crimson officials re
cently came forth with the announce
ment that Meanix, the famous Colby
hurdler, had been declared eligible for
one more year. This is rather surpris
ing, for it was Harvard that raised
such a hullabaloo a few years ago
when Penn saw fit to use athletes
drawn from other colleges, particularly
Andy Smith, who switched over from
Penn State.
While it is patent that pressure'ls
brought to bear -upon scholastic stars
to enter various colleges, it Is generally
believed that the day of the ringer is
past. This broader view taken by the
colleges now should lower the eligi
bility standards and it should improve
the caliber of the teams. So long as
there is a faculty man on the eligibility
committee and so long as the freshmen
rule is lived up to there Is little sense
in preventing a. man from playing four
years providing he takes a post-graduate
course calling for a satisfactory
amount of scholastic work.
Although the woods are full of men
who claim to have licked Jess Willard
there doesn't seem to be a desirable op
ponent for him unless it be big Fred

Tuesday night featuring "Muff" Bron

What arrangements have been made
between the two clubs has not been
disclosed, but it is understood that the
switch was made to avert a possible

Manager George Moore, of the Gold

cards. Besides the main event and the
seml-wlndup between Weldon Wing

up two other bouts yesterday. One
will find Valley Trambltas combating
"Young Jack" Johnson, of Boston, and
the other a return match between
Frankie Huelat and Sammy Morris.

Fultz Says Decision to Join Amer

Magnates Had Said They
AVonld Crush Fraternity.
NEW YORK Jan. 16. Affiliation of
the Baseball Players" Fraternity with
the . American Federation of Labor
would end the present salary system
in professional baseball by, which the
best players now receive thousands of
dollars for their work, in the opinion
of President B. B. Johnson, of the
American League, who discussed here
today the plan to unionize ballplayers.
He asserted that a change would mean
than a union scale of wages would be
paid both to the star and the average
player in accordance with the amount
of money his position called for. He
doubted if the stars of the game would
make such an agreement.
President Johnson recalled that in
the old National League wages were
standardized when owners found lfdlf
flcult to pay the large salaries some
players received years ago. Under the
plan at that time. President Johnson
declared, outfielders received a certain
sum and inflelders, it was agreed 4vere
to receive another amount. President
Johnson said he was unwilling to be
lieve that present-day ballplayers
drawing large salaries would be con
tent to equalize their earning abilities
with players who Just .manage to hang
on in the major leagues. . ,

President Johnson said ho . hoped
Samuel Gompers would .first .consult
with his associates before taking- up
the proposal seriously, adding that the

son will open on Wednesday, April It.
wa the only information given out
here today after the Joint schedule
committees from the National and
American leagues had concluded their
meetings, which began yesterday.
David L. Fultz, president of the Base
ball Players" Fraternity, today set
February 20 as the date the players'
strike is likely to become effective.
"The Chicago National League play
ers have been instructed to report in
Chicago on that date to make the trip
to their training camp at Pasadena.
Cal.," said Mr. Fultz. "If the present
baseball tangle is not straightened out
by that time, however, not one of the
18 leading members of the team will
move. The other clubs who have un
signed fraternity players will be up
against a similar situation when they
order mobilization at the training
camps. The players simply will not
budge."
Johnson's Action Incentive.
Mr. Fultz said the decision to Join
the American Federation of Labor came
after reports from President Johnson
of the American League that the fra
ternity must be crushed and that play
ers who are active' in the fraternity
must grive up the order or get out of his
league.
"We needed something to bulwark us
up, and there seems no doubt that affil
iation with the American Federation of
Labor will prove a great benefit," con
tinued Mr. Fultz. "I belldve such affil
iation will strengthen us sufficiently
to win the .requests we now ask for
without carrying fthls strike Into the
season. I do not believe the clubown
ers will want to antagonize the federa
tion, as baseball is largely a working
man's sport, especially in the Western
cities, which are unionized more strong
ly than the East. It would hardly be
to the advantage of clubowners to hire
inferior players In such cities
"Not only 600 to 700 players signed
pledges late last season not to sign
until Instructed to do so, but within
the last four weeks we sent out fresh
letters to the players, asking- 'Are you
still willing to go through with this?'
and all have answered 'Yes.' "

NEW COMMISSION ADVOCATED
Minor Leagues Start Move to Create
Governing. Body of 3 Members.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16. A movement to
abolish the present governing board of
the National Association of Minor
Leagues and create a new board of
three members was launched at a
meeting here today of the presidents
of the Central and Three-I Leagues
and the Central Association.
The plan was suggested by A. R.
Tearney, president of the Three-I
League, after the three league presi
dents had decided to meet In Chicago.
January 24. to redistrict their circuits.
It is planned to make them more com
pact with a view of saving- mileage
and reducing other expenses.
Tearney contended that the nr,nt
minor league board of 11 members is
too unwieldy.
"Millions are Invested In the Nation's
minor leagues," Mr. Tearney aaid, "and
not one-tenth enough business methods
safeguard the investment. The base
ball in the minor leagues is going on
the rocks as the result of 'lack of busi
ness methods.' "
Tearney advocated that the proposed
board be empowered with absolute
rule, and that its members be remu
nerated so that they could devote their
entire time to the sport.
"It would be a National commission
to the minor leagues," Tearney said.

large crowd of students witnessed the
clash.
Coach Dewey has been, handicapped
with bis Quakers because of lack of
practice, due to the fact that the new
Franklin High gymnasium was not
ready for use until the first part of
this week. However, the Washrtigton
High basket tossers showed consider
ably better form than had been ex

for the championship.
Another game of the Portland Inter
