Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULT 11, 1917. 15 "LEFTY" JAMES TO JOIN BEAVER GLAH Southpaw, of Louisville, on His Way to Pitch . V for McCredie. Is HURLING RECORD IS FAIR e Grelf, Whitman Athlete, to Get Trial as Twirler Scout Kel ley, of Yanks, Hero Look Hollocher Over, to The Portland ball club lost one south paw when the temperamental Walter Mails quit to work in the Seattle ship yards, but Walter McCredie signed an other yesterday. The new left-hander Is "Lefty" James, of Louisville, erst while member of the Cleveland Amer ican League and Cleveland and Toledo American Association clubs. If he is half as good as the other Bill James the Beavers had a few years ago, now with Detroit, he will strengthen the local twirling corps. James won eight and lost seven frames last year for the Louisville pennant-winners. ' His effective average was 3.91 runs per nine innings, which wasn't particularly brilliant. The pre vious year, however, James won 19 and lost 13 with the near tail-end Cleveland Colts, so another change in climate may prove beneficial. James to Report Soon. James already is on his way to the Coast, and should arrive before the finish of the Seal series. Another pitcher joined the Beavers yesterday, De Greif, the Whitman Col lege athlete. Mack had him out in an eld faded blue uniform and will give him the "once over" twice or three times, and may start him in some game already won or lost. In the absence of Bill Rodgers, who is nursing a lame shoulder or rib or something, Slglin held down second in the opening game yesterday, Plnelll being stationed at third and Griggs in the right garden, with Wilie in left. Jack farmer sat on the bench, occa sionally arising to limp to the coach ing line. Manager McCredie says he has closed no deal yet for Hollocher. Scout Joe jveiiey, or tne hew lork Tanks, ar rived yesterday simultaneously with the ball teams and watched the opening engagement from a box seat. Kelley is en route to the Northwestern League, but he will have to hurry, for by the end of the week the league will be as scarce as bird seed in a bathtub. Sport Writer on Visit. It is barely possible that Kelley has made up his mind to meet McCredle's figures on . Hollocher and is here for that purpose. Another out-of-town baseball notable to arrive yesterday was Thomas Laird, sporting editor of one of the San Fran cisco afternoon newspapers. Scribe Laird is following the Seals around the circuit, and this is his first trip to Portland. Tom is a ballplayer himself, holding down the first sack every Sunday for one of the Trolley League clubs. He gets out and scrimmages with the Seals before the games, calls the players by their first names, pounds the typewriter with four fingers and otherwise Is a regular fellow. JUNIOR TENNIS IS NEXT INTEREST IN JUVENILE TOURNA MENT IS MARKED. Clever Young Players of Northwest Are Entered Marshall Allen, of Se attle, to Meet Paul Steffen. Walter A. Goss, the tennis enthusiast. Is working hard to make the boys' and juniors' tournament to be held Friday and Saturday at the Irvington Club one long to be remembered.

William M. Ladd, after reading the article by Mr. Goss In The Sunday Oregonlan, remarked: "I have read with Interest what you had to say in yesterday's Oregonian on the subject of Oregon tennis for the boys, and I want to say that I do not think you will ever regret any time which you give toward helping our boys to learn to play a good clean game of tennis. I hope that I may be present next Saturday afternoon to do my share In helping Portland win." Marshall Allen and Millington Grey, the Seattle entries, arrived in Portland yesterday afternoon and practiced on the Irvington Club courts. Voung Allen will try conclusions with Paul Steffen. the Portland pride, but he will have his work cut out. Steffen has been taking lessons from Mr. Goss and Is improving rapidly. Phil Neer, the boys' champion, will have things to himself from the form he has been displaying to date. While only a boy, his tennis prowess would do credit to many of the veterans. Bealls C. Wright, one of the world's grreatest tennis players, has been ob tained to referee the matches. HOOD RIVEIt WANTS BALI GAME Strenuous Efforts Made to Arrange Contest With The Dalles.

STUD COBS ,r00 -eel r POSTS MAY BE LOST Absentee Judges' Rights Dis cussed by Attorney-General. INDIANA CASE IS CITED Formal Opinion Not Given, but Precedent Is That One Person May Not Hold Two Lucrative Positions at Same Time. SALEM, Or, July 10. (Special.) While still adhering to his declaration not to give an opinion as to the status f Circuit Judges Oantenbein and Davis, of Multnomah County, who have gone to the offlcere' training camp, Attor ney-General Brown today called at tention to a historical old Indiana case, that of Kerr vs. Jones, 19 Indiana, which Mr. Brown says la exactly In point as to the situation of the two Judges absent from Multnomah County. The Indiana case Is woven around Benjamin Harrison, a former President of the United States. It Involves the Interpretation of a provision In the Indiana constitution which inhibits one person from holding more than one lucrative office -at the same time. The provision In the Ore- eon constitution was taken from tne Indiana constitution. It Is a rule of construction often laid down by the Supreme Court of this state that the Oregon courts will construe statutes or organic provisions borrowed from oth er states with the same construction as that given by the courts from which such provisions originate. In Kerr vs. Jones, Benjamin Harrison was elected Supreme Court Reporter. During his incumbency he Joined the volunteers and was called into service. He selected a deputy to act In his place. During Harrison's ' absence another election was held and a successor to Harrison was elected. The successor called for the papers and documents belonging to the office, but they were refused. The court compelled the holder of such papers to turn them over to Har rison's successor on the ground that when Harrison Joined the volunteers and took out a commission In the Army he relinquished his post as Reporter for the Supreme Court. "This is the case upon which I large lv based an opinion given last Summer to Adjutant-General White when he went to the border," stated Mr. Brown today- "When he became Captain In the cavalry I held that he relinquished his post as Adjutant-General."

Miss Marion Allhands appeared as the "Pied Piper," a role she played in delightful mood, gayly and merrily dancing in to pipe the rodents out of the village.
