"MO ffTHWEST LEAGUE
TO QUIT SUNDAY
Decision Reached by Directors
After All-Day Conference
at Spokane.
EXPENSES EXCEED INCOME
Attendance Poor All Season, Due to
War and Weather Conditions.
. Percentage of Players to
Be Lost in Draft.
BPOKAXE, Wash., July 9. Directors
of the Northwestern Baseball League,
after a meeting lasting all day, tonight
voted to end the season of the league
next Sunday. The six teams of the
league will play out this week's games,
Bpokane at Butte, Tacoma at Great
Falls and Seattle at Vancouver.
Poor weather early in the season and
the war situation cut down attendance.
Most of the clubs were losing money
steadily.
Directors Issue Statement.
S. B Jensen, or Great Falls, and W.
H. Davey, of Butte, made pleas that the
schedule be run out as previously de
cided upon. They said their cities would
return big dividends to any team visit
ing them.
The directors of the league made no
comment on the result of the meeting,
but issued the following statement for
publication:
"On account of heavy financial losses
already sustained, brought on by rea
son of war conditions and the fact that
the Northwestern League will lose a
certain percentage of its players in the
selective draft about to be drawn and
from the experience had by the Van
couver club since the war opened, in
1914, the directors believe that condi
tions in baseball will grow worse in
stead of better until the close of the
war, as the fans' interest seems to be
centered in the war instead of our
National game.
National Ruling Protects,
' "The National Association having
ruled that any minor league compelled
to suspend its season on account of
conditions brought on by the war has
the right to reserve its players, fran
chise and territory, the directors of the
Northwestern League have decided to
close its season with the games of Sun
day, July 15, 1917."

COAST LEAGUE TO CONTINUE
"Prexy" Banm Says There Will Be
Baseball Next Year, Too.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. July 9. (Spe
cial.) A. T. Baum, president of the
Pacific Coast League, says that not
only will the league play out the sched
ule this year, but that it will pos
itively operate next year, war or no
war. This is his reply to the statement
of Judge McCredie that the league
would not be in the field next year if
the European war is still on.
"If the war is still on next year it
may be necessary for the Coast League
to operate under different conditions,"
Fays President Baum, "but we will have
baseball. It may be necessary for the
players to work for less money, for
the club owners are now paying out
more than they are taking in, and they
cannot be expected to continue doing
that. But we will have baseball, and
good baseball. Make that as strong
as you like."

Despite the loud wails of some of
the knocking contingent In San Fran-
isco, the Seals seem to be able to
plug along very comfortably without
Harry Wolverton, deposed manager.
Last week San Francisco won five of the
eight games and held Its first-place
berth by a comfortable margin.
The Seals will be here today to battle
the Portland club, which returns after
three weeks on the road.
All three first-division teams main
tained their former pace last week. Los
Angeles came to life with a bang and
humiliated the hapless Oaks seven
games out of eight. Salt Lake took
four out of seven from Portland and
the Seals won five of eight.
Los Angeles, therefore, gained slight
ly on the Bees in second position, while
the Oaks sunk still lower into the mire
of the second division. Oakland began
the season in the cellar position with
percentage of .285 at the end of the
second week. Soon afterward Del How
ard keyed his men to greater deeds
and they began climbing at a dazzling
speed until everybody had begun to
look upon the Oaks as a first-division
certainty. Of late, however, the Oaks
re been slipping badly, and if Del
Howard doesn't get his skid chains
on both the front and rear tires pretty
soon the Oaks may be down below
Portland.
And that will be going downhill quite
some distance past the crossroads.
San Francisco, on the other hand.
has displayed rare consistency. Two
months ago the Seals stuck their peris
cope above the waters into the topmost
position in the league and never since
then have they been out of first place.
Since the beginning of the season the
week ending May 13 was the only week
that closed with the Seals out of first
position, and their percentage then was
mere .590.
Salt Lake has been fn first, second
and third places since the opening
week, but never in the second division,
while the situation is Just the reverse
with the Portland club. Walter Mc
Credie has three or four extra base
luggers, Williams, Morton, Wilie,
among the number, who could do con
siderable damage if they had a con
sistent hitting bunch with them and if
backed by an average pitching staff.
Walter Mails' desertion from the
pitching corps just at the time the Bea
vers were beginning to show flashes
of color dealt Walter McCredie's hopes
terrific jolt. Mails is twirling for
several semi-professional teams around
Seattle, and. as the going Is not alto
gether smooth, it may be that the ec
centric southpaw will be back on tne
job some time during the Beavers' sojourn.
The Beavers play the seals this weeK
and Vernon next and then leave for the
South for a two weeks' trip.
Art Grisrgs. former Vernon utility
player, will make his bow before home
fans today in a Portland uniform. Man
ager McCredie signed Griggs when Bill
Rodgers got injured in the Vernon se
ries. Griggs is hitting the bail nara
and often. When Vernon played here
in May. Griggs held down the first
sack for Stovall's crew and Griggs did
terrible damage with his shilleian. in
the opening game he bagged two singles
and a home run.
"
Portland's young catcher, Lin Bald
win, obtained from Spokane, seems to
be making good as a receiver. Ac
cording to the Los Angeles Times, up
to the tinai game ot tne vtraou oci ie
he had thrown out something like 19
of 21 men who had tried to -steal on
him. In one game that week Mitze
and Hunter pulled a double steal and
Brenton's throw was so slow that
Baldwin didn't even make a peg to
the bases. Baldwin doesn't seem to
be able to hit, cs his average is only
ja84 He may develop his battins with
experience; in fact, he will have to
improve if he hopes to stick in fast
company.

pitcher, should be elected secretary of

which Mails is president. Zabel jumped

Billy Blackhall and Billy Malcolm,
two well-known professional golfers
who were popular with the Lincoln
Park players in San Francisco, have
left for Canada to join the Foresters'
Battalion.
Blackhall was a successful all-round
athseteand had done good work as a
distance runner.
Jimmy Wilde, the world's flyweight
champion, is in a hospital at Alder
shot, England. It appears that in the
course of his military duties Wilde se
verely strained the muscles of his back,
and though he declined to report eioev.
he found, while undergoing bayonet
instruction, that he was unable to re
spond to the demands made upon him.
He was at once removed for medical
examination, when it was found he was
suffering from a strain, which devel
oped rapidly and led to his transfer to
a hospital.
According to R. C. Klegin, an English
promoter who arrived at an American
port from England recently, Georges
Carpentier, the heavyweight boxing
champion of Europe, Is coming to this
country to give boxing exhibitions in
the interest of recruiting for the flying
corps in France and will arrive here in
a little over two weeks.
He said he had secured a six months'
furlough for Carpentier, who is a mem
ber of the French flying corps and has
been flying at Verdun.
The plan is to have Carpentier go on
a sparring tour of the large cities of
the United States and, besides aemon
strating his skill with the gloves, show
a quantity of war films which he will
bring with him. He will not engage in
any regular bout, but hopes to be able
to gain many recruits for flying in
France, and does not care whether they
are gained for the French or American
forces, as long as they battle for the
allies.

Coast League players to accept the

throw nearly 100 B league ballplayers
out of Jobs, and quite a number of
them in a pinch could do very accepta

One of Klllefer's first acts was to

OSWEGO FANS DISAPPOINTED
TsATTING streaks like the one re-
cently taken by Ty Cobb are rare
things, but often players will have a
streak which only lasts one game.
Larry Lajole, in a double-header in
1910, was up eight times and made
eight hits, including one triple.
Bob Lowe, Ed Delehanty and Dan
Brouthers are all credited with wal
loping out four home runs in a single
game.
a
George Cutshaw, ex-Oaklana star and
now with Brooklyn, went into a streak
in 1915 and whacked out six consecu
tive hits against the Cubs.
Wilbert Robinson once made seven
successive hits in a single game away
back in 1892, when Baltimore was play
ing St. Louis. This mark still stands
for a record in a single game.
Hubert B. Leonard, better known as
"Dutch," pitcher of the Boston Red
Sox. and Miss Muriel Worth, of Chi
cago, were married June 28, according
to a rumor that Just leaked out. Dutch
will take his bride to Fresno, Cal.,
after the season is over, where he has
a 100-acre fruit ranch.
Looks like the record for hitting
safe in 45 games, made by Jack Ness
when he was on the Coast will stand
for some time to come.
Dick Remer, the National seven-mile
walking champion, will start training
about August 1.
INDIANS TRIM RED SOX
LEB FOHL'S TOSSER3 IULLT AND
NOSE! OUT BOSTON,' 4 TO S.
Heywood Holden, the Indoor National
five-mile champion, is getting in shape
to defend his title next month. Holden
has started regular training and will
be in the best of 'Shape.
Mrs. Hazel Hotchklss Wlghtman, like
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, is demonstrat
ing the fact that matrimony and a
more or less prolonged absence from
competition in tennis does not neces
sarily impair the playing qualities of
former woman champion. Mrs.
Wightman has engaged in a number of
tournaments of late, and has shown
much of her old-time skill. Never as
robust and strong as Mrs. Bundy, Mrs.
Wightman always has depended on
strategy rather than strength to win
her matches. She is the reverse of the
slashing, powerful type of player as
represented by Mrs. Bunay.
MAJOR RECORD IS EQUALED

CHANCE'S PLANS ARE PUZZLE

From the words of the Southern
scribes, Frank Chance has really quit
baseball. But then, again. Frank
Chance says he hasn't. We nominate
