'The bosses of the-Coast League are till in session at the St. Francis Ho tel and each one is Diamine? the other iellow for calling the meeting:. It seems that it in all arranged to hold 'the annual meeting in Los Angeles next 'Jiionth and this gathering is a special one, and no one seems to know what it -is all about. (Irapevine information is to the ef- Vfect that the meeting was called to dis 'cuss changes in the circuit, but it is not likely anything will be done at this :time. 1'. W. Carmichael. Alden Anderson "and C. J.

That application shows that not all the brave men are in the Daum Brtnffs Vp War Tax. .-Al Baum, president of the league, li'nows his employer very well, and he had it all doped out how tnings will he at this meeting. President Baum talking now: "Let us Vtake up this question of the war tax." " Henry Berry, awakening with a start and showing an animation Why not let that matter go over until the annual meeting in Los Angeles?

President Daum Referring to the matter of the proposed changes in the 'circuit. . Judge McCredie, looking as pink and white as one of those Mellen's baby prize food winners, ana Jack Cook, of SSalt Lake, getting irp at the same time and clamoring, "That should be left over until the annual meeting at Los Angeles." Berry Determined to Talk. Hen Berry has been kidded so much about Judge McCredie being the only director who is allowed to give out any news, that he is now on his mettle. He says if there is any news in this meet ing and he finds it out, he is going to give it out to the San Francisco papers. In the past the local papers bad to get it from Portland after Judge McCredie passed .it -oat. and if Hen is game t-nou&.i to go through, he wiU save his home town papers quite a lot in tele graph tolls. Just to try his hand at giving out news Hen said there was a possibility thatkVernon will be dropped. He says Los jVngeles does not like continuous baseball, and the game will be' better there with only one. club. Johnny Powers will take over Vernon's part of the lease on the ball park and if the Vernon club"- is " moved to Sacra mento or some other seaport, the league will be strengthened all around. Jack Cook got a running start on Judge McCredie at the afternoon ses sion and talked for one hour without letting his voice fall. Hen Berry says that was Jack's opening statement, and as Jack has reserved the right to make tne closing speech also, something like J. 000.000 more words will be used by the Salt Lake man. figures Serve Judge "Well. Judge McCredie brought so many figures with him that he has to use an adding machine when he wants to seg regate them. The statistics he,, has look like the batting averages of the srand old game since the time Pop Anson was a boy, and any time a di rector makes a peep about dropping Portland the judge gathers up a hand ful of figures and flattens him. The meeting adjourned for dinner, because Hen Berry was all worn out listening to the speech of Jack Cook. They were still in session late tonight, end it is likely that the entire result ot their efforts will look like the cen ter of a doughnut. " -It is a pretty safe bet that Portland and Salt Lake will not be dropped. If there is any change it will affect Ver sion. The league may have the same six clubs next year, and then again it Jnay have eight, depending upon v.retner there are any more persons jiside from those in Sacramento, who Want to dabble in baseball. . - SPY SYSTEM IS POWERFUL tierman Said Not to Be Most 'Dan' gerons in England.

"It has been hard work, said Mr. McArthur last night, "and we are not through with it yet, but we feel sure that Oregon will not fail to be ready with her quota at the specified times.
