16 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1917. PORTLAND WILL BE III NORTHWESTERN Franchise Sent Judge McCre die by Robert Blewett, Head of Organization. COAST MAGNAJES BEATEN Sicaver Owner Says Sacramento Is Welcome to Franchise, but He Has Control of Players; Gra ham to Pay No Money. BY JAMES J." RICHARDSON. Judge William Wallace McCredie was officially notified yesterday by Robert Blewett. president of the JNprth western League, that Portland had been awarded a franchise in the North ern circuit. This receiving of the official com munication was but one of many ex citing incidents which took place at baseball headquarters yesterday. A quiet little tip came over the wires from California that Charlie Graham and the bankers and business men in terested with him in the movement to obtain the Portland franchise for bacramento would organize a stock company and go out into the open mar let and purchase whatever players they needed to start the season. It also was added that they were not compelled to purchase any of the Port land player's. Switch in Circuit Interests. That Charles "Spider" Baum, former Sacramento pitcher and at present the property of the San Francisco base ball club and a brother of Al Baum, president of the Pacific Coast League, had the "inside track" on the man ager's Job at Sacramento and was practically sure of clinching; the task of piloting the Senators over the tempestuous seas, helped round out at baseball headquarters what Judge Mc Credie termed "the end of a perfect day." The granting of a franchise to Judge McCredie by the Northwestern League ivas the main subject of conversation at baseball headquarters. It has been a number of years since the McCredies had the pleasure of owning the Port land Colts, which alternated with the Beavers for baseball . prestige in this city. When Judge McCredie replied to the telegram which President Baum and Cal Ewing recently sent cutting the Judge's figures for the Portland play ers in half and offering to place the money in escrow until such time as the next draft had made its inroads on the players involved In the deal, he let it be known that if the Pacific Coast League directors were bent on ousting Portland the McCredies were perfectly willing for them to do so, but insisted that Portland be awarded a Northwestern League franchise be fore the Pacific Coast League magnates officially greased the skids for Port land's slide out of the Pacific Coast League. Reply Only Awaited. The receipt of President Blewett's letter containing the Portland fran chise was all for which the McCredies were waiting. The judge read the handwriting on the wall several weeks ago. His recent trip to Seattle for a conference with "Prexy" Blewett and Dave Dugdale served to hasten the ar rival of the Northwestern League fran chise. Sacramento's declaration that it would go out into the open market and purchase whatever players are needed and that it is not compelled to pur chase the Portland players caused no particular stir as far as Judge Mc Credie was concerned. Judge "Beats Them to It." "I am not surprised in the least at the statement of the Sacramento peo ple," said Judge McCredie. "I was Just a few feet ahead of them in their an nouncement when I sent. Walter. Mc Credie, Wednesday night, a letter which contained a triplicate agreement which I requested him to present to the di rectors of the Pacific Coast League at their meeting in Los Angeles Monday, and asked to have it signed by the league. "It ' calls upon the Pacific Coast League to turn over to the Portland baseball club all the players who were on our roster this season, together with all assets belonging to the Portland club except the Portland franchise. They can have the franchise and are free to give it to anyone they desire. It will be a great relief to get away from the bickerings and underhand methods of some of the Coast League owners. Players to Be Kept. "I will keep whatever players I want for the Portland Northwestern League club and put. the others on the mar ket. The players will be my own per sonal property and the Northwestern League franchise awarded Portland also is mine. I will be alone in the venture, but If Walter McCredie does not manage some other Coast League club he can have the Job of managing, the Portland club in the Northwestern League. , , The Northwestern League will se cure a class A rating and according to the National Association of Minor .League laws, the Pacific Coast League will drop from a class AA to class A circuit. Whether or not President Baum and the Coast League owners will be able to hold their class AA rating is a matter of conjecture. Centxalia Class Fives Play. CENTRALIA, Wash., Dec. 13. (Spe cial.)

POPULAR ICE HOCKEY STAR WHO IS ON HIS WAY TO JOIN THE PORTLAND TEAM. . - .' r Jill- 'imemmWmmammBmiiauim EDDIE O 0AT1N TO RETURN Ex-Portland Hockey Septet Leader Accepts Terms. TEAM TO GAIN STRENGTH Brilliant Player, Witli Johnson, To- bin., Barbur, Dunderdale and Murray, Will Make Local Team One of Best in League. The surprising announcement was made yesterday at ice hockey head quarters that Eddie Oatman, captain and star rover of the Portland hockey team during the seasons 1914-1915, had accepted terms with. Manager Bryan to play with the Portland septet this sea son. It was said that Oatman would leave his home at Otterville, Canada, at once and planned to reach Portland Sunday. No more pleasing news to ice hockey fans could be received than Oatman's decision to return to Portland and join the team which he formerly captained. Oatman Is Popular. Oatman was one of the most popular hockey players who ever chased a puck over local ice. Quiet and unas suming, his heart was always in the game, and he was one of the most rugged players that Portland ever had. Owing to his brilliant work during the 1914 season Oatman was appointed captain of the 1915 septet. He re mained In Canada during 1916 and played a number of military hockey ists during that period. The Eastern Canadians made several offers for his services, but Portland refused to part with him. Now that Oatman has been exempted from service he will cast his lot with the Portland team. Manager Bryan said yesterday, before departing for Vancouver, B. C., that he would in all probability appoint Oatman captain of this season's team. With the addition of Oatman the prospects of Portland winning the pen nant appear exceedingly bright. With Moose Johnson, Charlie Tobin, Al Barbour, Tommy Dunderdale and Tommy Murray ready to start training as soon as Manager Bryan says the word, Portland should be a real con tender for championship honors. Players Reported Satisfied. Manager Bryan discussed salaries with all the Portland players who win tered here and with the exception of "Smokey" Harris they are reported to be satisfied with the Bprtland mag nate's offer. Charlie Uksila will be able to step into one of the positions, so Manager Bryan is not worrying in the least if "Smokey" Harris continues a holdout. With the return of Manager Bryan from Vancouver, Sunday, there ought to be some real live hockey news. Squirrel Food. FOUR 1917 athletic captains of De pauw University have enlisted in the Army within the last week. They are: Burbon P. Borduant, football cap tain, who Joined the chauffeurs' divi sion of the Aviation Corps; Russell Cook, track captain, who enlisted in the Naval Aviation Division; Roscoe Thiebert, baseball captain, now in the Army Aviation Corps, and Joe Royce, basketball captain, who Joined the Field Artillery. William Jennings Burns, captain of the Purdue football team, enlisted last Wednesday In the Aviation Corps. Norman Ross has been transferred from the National Army at American Lake to the aviation school at Berke ley. Norman isn't as pretty as he used to be, having lost several front teeth in a boxing match at the encampment. Norman parried a straight left with his frontal molars. Pennsylvania has decided to hold its annual track carnival in 1918, despite the inroads made in athletic ranks by the war. The meet, one of the biggest intercollegiate affairs in the country, will be held on the last Saturday in April. Five Syracuse football stears en listed in the Aviation Corps last Thurs day. They are: "Wild Bill" Flinter wald, Ed Flannery and Matt Brown, of the back field: Eddie Brown, end, and "Chick" Meeghan, quarter. Jack Malone. halfback, will enter the Army within the next few days. The Bulletin down at Frisco says that Walt McCredie is scouting around among the players held in reserve by the class A Western League. Walt does not expect the Western League to open again next year, and wants to be right on deck to nab the best play ATM AN. ers when definite announcement comes that the league will not operate. -Big Bill Fincher, who twirled for St. Louis In 1916 and for our little burg in 1917. and who enlisted here, is now at Camp Pike, Ark. He has been appointed baseball manager for the cantonment next Spring. BASKETBALL RULES CHAXGED Floor Extended Two Feet at Baskets to Help Players. The Joint basketball rules commit tee, of which Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft is chairman, has made but one major change in the rules for 1917-18, al though, as' usual, many minor revi sions have been included. The one important modification of the playing code, which is published in th new Spalding Official Basketball Guide, has to do with the court itself. It has been the experience of the com mittee that a player frequently has been deprived of a well-earned field goal by what might be properly termed the technicality of being out of bounds. His team has worked the ball to their goal by skill; he shoots for goal and has earned the score, but his foot has touched the line and the goal is not allowed. Often, too, there is a serious question of doubt in the referee's mind as to whether a player Is In or out of bounds on a close, play under the bas ket. Accordingly - the rules committee has added an extension to the end boundary line, in the form of an arc of a circle, with an expansion of two feet at its greatest width, directly back of the basket. Thus the entire back board Is within bounds and on the floor the player has an additional lee way of two feet under the basket. This change is frankly an experi ment. It is one which seems well worth taking, however, and it is of fered in the spirit of opening up the play still further. Of course, where the end boundary line Is a wall, this extension does not apply, and the end line must be the straight line as here tofore. 25 PLAYER LIMIT KEPT AMERICAN 1.F.AGUK DECIDES TO TAKE SPRIXG TRAINING TRIP. Club Owner Are Opposed to Susses tlon of National to Divide World's Series Receipts. CHICAGO. Dec. 13. Retention of the 25-player limit and continuation of the Spring training trips were decided upon at the closing session of the American League meeting tonight. The club owners cleared up these points in preparation for the Joint meeting with the National Leaguers here tomorrow. President Johnson's announcement that the $110,000 fund agreed upon to reimburse backers of Federal League clubs still remained unpaid caused a surprise. He said that the American League was ready to pay its share $55,000 at once, but that the entire issue would have to be settled by the club owners of the two leagues to morrow. It was revealed that Edward Gwinner. who lost heavily in backing the Pittsburg club of the Federal League, is to receive $50,000 of the fund, and the balance is to be divided between Harry Sinclair, who financed the Newark club, and the Ward Estate of New York, which supported the Brooklyn Federals. The suggestion advanced by the Na tional League that a new division of the world's series receipts be made did not gain favor with the American League club owners. The National League proposes to limit the amount the players of the contending clubs re ceive, and divide the remainder among the players of the four leading clubs in the two leagues.

STAY WILL BE BUT WEEK Corvallis Instructor Will Give Short Time to Army Team Before Clash With Marines at Coach Stanton's Request. By JAMES J. RICHARDSON. In response to an "S. O. S." call sent him by Lieutenant Stanton, coach of the 91st Division football eleven at Camp Lewis. Joseph A. Pipal. head gridiron mentor of the Oregon Aggies, passed through Portland yesterday en route to the Camp Lewis cantonment, where he will remain a few days assisting Lieu tenant Stanton In coaching the 91st Dlvisioners for their scheduled clash with the Mare Island Marines at Pasadena, New Year's day. Not to be outdone by the Marines' who have engaged Hugo Bezdek. Uni versity of Oregon's football expert. Lieutenant Stanton called upon Coach Pipal, who was Lieutenant Stanton's rival for five years in Southern Cali fornia. The invitation to Coach , Pipal re quested his services until the Pasa dena game, but the Aggie coach will be unable to linger at Camp Lewis more than a week on account of hav ing to coach the Aggie basketball squad. "Lieutenant Stanton and myself were rivals tn Southern California for five years, but we were always the best of friends." said Coach Pipal. yesterday. "His telegram requested me to assist him In getting the boys ready for the game with the Marines at Pasadena, New Year's day. On account of bas ketball's starting at Corvallis I will only be able to stay s few days." When Howard Ray, last year's cap tain of the Aggie basketball quintet, left Corvallis. Wednesday, to enlist In the Twentieth United States Engineers, he upset Coach Plpal's basketball plans for the coming season. Coach Pipal made arrangements to have Ray ccach the squad which Is composed of green material. There is not a letter man in the bunch. Ray's sudden de parture left Coach Pipal without a basketball coach. Last season Everett May did the basketball coaching, and Coach Pipal's arrangements for the coming season were for Ray to coach and Pipal to as sist In an advisory capacity, but with Ray's departure it will be up to Pipal to do the coaching-himself. Coach Pipal said yesterday that the heavy enlistment of athletes from Ore gon Agricultural . College would not cause athletic officials, at Corvallis to cease their work, but -would be the means of ! injecting plenty of enthus iasm into the work cut out for them. "As long as we have, a squad big enough to furnish us with enough men to enter intercollegiate athletics in each sport we will be represented and we will do the bes,t we can to make a creditable showing with the material we have," said Coach Pipal. At the annual football dinner given the gridiron warriors at Corvallis the other night a loving cup was present ed to Coach Pipal by the' members of the squad in appreciation of his ef forts as coach. When the curtain fell op Yale foot ball for the season, of 1917, hope was held out by the Eastern gridiron sup porters that another Fall would see formed a varsity eHeven to meet other institutions. Two features of the closing football games of the season caused this hope to spring up. In the first place two strong Yale elevens finished the sea son in the freshmen and the informal teams, and in the second place, the members of the strong freshmen eleven are all so young that they will not be eligible for the draft before another football season. Some of them, how ever, will enlist. Eastern writers say that Yale's freshmen eleven Is capable of taking the gridiron in its entirely against CHRISTIAN BROTHERS' FIVE'S -CAPTAIN PLAYS GOOD GAME. il Edward Ryan. One of the most exciting bas ketball games of the season was played Wednesday night between Christian Brothers' Business Col lege and Sacred Heart Court. The game resulted in a 24-to-24 tie. When time "was called the score was 22-22. Five minutes of over time play was agreed upon, and when this had elapsed each team had shot another basket, tying the score again. The end of the first half found Sacred Heart leading, 10-8. Excellent work by Captain Ryan, Murphy and Brost, of - the Stenos, - ran the score up -to a tie and saved the game. Bellarts and Ick starred for the Sacred Heart quintet. I - ' I , - v ,- v.--,nsfc.----.-..-;: Yale's varsity rivals next fall. The team, they say, is Yale's strongest class combination, with the exception of the class eleven of 1910, captained by Tex Cox. and containing such stars as Phllbil, Cooney, Brown and LiUey. Football officials of the University of Pennsylvania are anxious to include Georgia Tech. in the schedule of games for next Fall and it has been said that if arrangements can be made the South erners probably will take the place of Michigan In the Quakers' schedule. Discontinuance of football relations between Michigan and Pennsylvania. It is said, is likely because next year the Wolverines will enter Western con ference football. The three-year con tract between the 'Ann Arbor authori ties and Pennsylvania ended with the playing of this year's contest. O. A. C. Girls to Compete. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

In Ttsnem Past, Reeoras Skow. Sontfcem. er Boxea With Four World Champion Mitt Men. Bobby Evans, manager and match maker of the Pacific Athletic Club, re ceived acceptance from Bob Laga. In San Francisco of an offer to have "Mexican" Joe Rivers. well-known lightweight boxer, meet Joe Benjamin here at the Eleventh-Street Playhouse Friday night. December 21. Rivers will be the third countrywide known boxer who has appeared here In late years s- - the other two being? Willie, Ritchie world's ex - lia-ht. tf weight champloni V and Mike Gibbons ( Joe Benjamin, the. Portland boy. whom : Bobby Evans has picked to meet Rivers starter! training several days ago and will be prepared for the Mexican. Benjamin has not lost a bout since he entered the Joe Rivers. lightweight class and has boxed in every big city in the Northwest and California, meeting all comers at his weight. Rivers is in San Francisco at present and will leave for Portland, accom panied by his manager. Bob Laga. in a few days. Laga wrote that Rivers is in good condition and that five or six days of hard work would put him in trim for a six-round bout-with Ben jamin. Joe Rivers has. perhaps, had the most varied career of any lightweight boxer In the country. Springing up in Los Angeles, practically unknown. Rivers rapidly became one of the best cards in the country during the old 20- round days and In his time he has fought four world's champions. Twice he fought for the lightweight cham pionship of the world, but never quite reached the goal. He almost won the title of champion when he stopped Ad Wolgast in the 13th round. July 4. 1912. t Vernon. Cal. Both boys fell to the floor, Wolgast on top, after 13 rounds of fierce mixing. Wolgast and Rivers both declared that they were - fouled, but Referee Jack Welsh said he counted Rivers out after Wolgast rolled off of him. Of course the Joe Rivers of to day is not the Joe Rivers who fought Wolgast. They did not have any soft ten-round no-decision bouts when he was one of the kingpins and many a tough 20-round battle helped wear him down, but Rivers Is still a good boxer and retains all of his old cleverness and fighting qualities if he does not have the stamina that beats the Cham- Dions and contenders and over the short distance route such as four or six rounds It Is said that he still travels like the Mexican Marvel of old. Bobby Evans will feature Harry Anderson, one of the cleverest light weights on the Pacific Coast, and light weight champion of Canada, in tne semlwindup. Anderson will meet Jack Wagner, of Portland, claimant of the Northwestern lia-htwelerht crown. In the other bouts George Brandon will meet Danny Ed wards; Jack Allen will meet ftoscoe Taylor and one or two other good bouts will round out tne caret. Lefts and Rights. The Milwaukee fight fans have adopted a battling son of Boston by the name of Joe Eagan and are now booming mm as tea nxi wt-hi wcihl champion of the world. Eagan came to Milwaukee several months ago un heralded and unknown. He was atched with a local boy and Joe put him out with a clean knockout In a few rounds. Quick to realise that he could be developed Into a good card, the promoters gave him plenty of work and In his next three bouts he stowed away two of his opponents and had the third one, Eddie Moha, practically out in the tenth round, when the bell saved him. Eagan is a fighter, pure and simple. and battles every minute that he Is in the ring, something on the order of Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight cham pion. The Beantown boy win get nis real chance In a few days, when he clashes with Bryan Downey, the Columbus. O., welterweight, who Is managed by Tom Jones, the famous maker of champions. They are scheduled to box 10 rounds in Milwaukee next week. Jimmy Clabby Is now the heavy weight champion of Australia, accord ing to the latest reports. Clabby won the title from Al Lloyd, in a 20-round contest. In a letter to his . father in Hammond. Ind., Clabby says that he will return to the united States in March. Owen Moran, writing to Jimmy Johnston, the New York manager and promoter, from England, says that he Is now a constable at a water works in London and that he gets a chance to box once In a while. He adds that' he fought a 15-round draw with a young lightweight a few weeks ago and re ceived $295 for his end. He further states that Johnny Summers and Jem Drlscoll. the English fighters, are both at the front. ' St. Paul has contributed Billy Miske. Mike Gibbons, Tommy Gibbons. Mike O'Dowd and Kewpie Ertle to the box ing game in the light of leaders or near leaders In their respective . weights. Quite a formidable looking bunch in all. Mike Collins has practically matched Ted Lewis to box Jack Malone before his Minneapolis club Christmas day. Collins also will stage "Gunboat" Smith In another 10-round' bout, the latter part of December. Joe Gorman won from "Spider" Webb in Oakland the other night in a four round bout.

Says Keck: "Hugo Bezdek, manager of th Pittsburg Pirates next season. Hugo Bezdek. coach of the Wash-Jeff football eleven next season. How does that strike you fans? "Indications are that this will be the state of affairs. Bezdek has already been appointed manager of the Bucca neers for next season.

The Wash-Jeff fans figure the team's of fensive powers should1 have been more highly developed. The Pitt game was lost by three points, 13 to 10: the West Virginia game by one touchdown, 7 to 0, and the Natre Dame game by a field goal. 3 to 0.
