There were many criticism of
"Smoky" Harris playing In Wednes
day eight's game against Vancouver.
One spectator who sat near the press
tend remarked: -llarrle I carrying
th gun In tonight' gam. I thought
all the soldiers were fighting."
Harris Is capable of playing a bril
liant game and when he enter into th
thickest of the battle hi opponent
know they have been In a straggle, but
for some unknown reason hla playing
to date haa been off color.

With th departure of Maurice Mc

Johnston reported to the Oregon

TACOMA. Wash, Jan. 17. (Special.)
"Th grand old game" Is beginning

looming up now at the third officers'

IIJIE1AT1ALI10W
Magnates Change Name of Or
ganization and Vote Port
land Into Circuit.
DECISION IS UNANIMOUS
Moguls Think Present Coaat League
Will Bo Known aa Their Own,
Eventually, for Geo
graphical Reasons.
SEATTLE. Jan. IT. (Special.) Th
Northwestern League Is no moro, but
Instead a new organisation to be known
as the Pacific Coaat International
League Is born, and Is destined to be
come the representative baseball league
of the Pacific Coast, In the opinion of
the directors of the body meeting In
annual session here today.
The changing of the nam of the or
ganisation and the voting of Portland
Into th circuit were the two Important
measures enacted In the early evening
session.
Old Title Is Outgrown.
Believing that the clubs In th North
west secUon of th country represent
twice as much territory as th Coaat
League and that this organisation has
outgrown th tltla of Northwestern
League, the magnates voted unani
mously to adopt the new handle.
Ths old Northwestern circuit repre
sents 1400 miles of the coast line, as
well as the states of Washington, Ore
gon and Montana and British Columbia,
Canada. The Coast League has but 700
miles of territory and la made up of
oltiea In California, with the exception
of Salt Lake City.
"California Circuit" Suggested.
Therefore, the owners In this neck of
the woods cannot quite see why the
so-called Coast League should not be
known as the California Circuit, and
their own organization as the Pacific
Coast. At any rate, the Northwestern
League I a thing of th past, and the
Paclflo Coast International League Is
now the name of the organization.
"We're only claiming what we are
entitled to," said Judge McCredle, the
new Portland member, after the mo
tion had passed. "We're the real Coast
League, geographically, and we will be
known by our new name hereafter."
Five Cities Represented.
Vancouver, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma
and Portland wer represented at the
meetings today and tonight, Butte and
Great Falls wer not represented to
day, but it was said representatives
from the Montana cities might arrive
tomorrow.
A proposal to play a number ot
games each week at Camp Lewis can
tonment Is under consideration. It Is
said.
A feature of the afternoon session
was the failure of the Montana club
owners to appear. The absence of the
directors from both Butt and ureat
Falls was noted with no little concern
by the rest of the owners. It waa
hoped that they would make their ap
pearance later.

Country at First Member at
Present Lack Practice.
The Portland Revolver Club team of
the United States Revolver Association
began Its first competitive shooting of
the season last night. Up until several
days ago the Portland team was not
figuring on any shooting In lnter-club
competition this year on account of the
war and the difficulties that have
arisen, but the officers of the club
received a telegram from the headquar
ters of the U. S. R. A. at Talevllle last
week, naming the teams that Portland
would shoot against this year, and
yesterday morning the targets arrived
from Talevllle.
Th Portland Revolver Club's team Is
not In any too good shape and will have
to shoot the best teams In the country
first this year. Last year they com
peted against soma of the easier teams
to start with and ended up the season
with the best clubs, but this year the
local club will have to start against
the very best teams In the country.
Starting tonight, the Portland Revolver
Club team will shoot against the fol
lowing clubs: Chicago, Baltimore, Olym
pics, of San Francisco, and Providence,
R. L
In all, during the year the Portland
team will shoot against 17 clubs. A
number of clubs, Including the Spokane
Rifle and Revolver Club, have been
forced to disband because of the war.
The following men will make up the
Portland team this year: George W.
Wilson, R. H. Craddock. Captain J. F.
Moore, Larry Evans, John Young, W.
H. Hubbard, Roger N'ewhall, R. F. Pres-
cott, Morris Abraham and David uood-
ell.
The Portland team won ths cham
pionship of the United States last year,
with R. H. Craddock taking all Individ
ual records for the year.
