The raocb.-dtussed question of placing a team la Vancouver, Wash., to represent that city la the Pacific Coast International League assumed definitenesa yesterday when Joha P.

Mr. Kiggins formerly was a winning pitcher with the 14th United States In fantry Regiment, and came to Van- - couver a good many years ago. when a soldier. After He returned to civil life he met with auueess In business, and was at one time considered a likely candidate for-Governor of Washington.

Mr. Kiggins returned to Vancouver after his vtalt with Judge McCredle. and said he would consult a few of his friends on the proposition.

This was decided .yesterday' at Cor vallls, when the Oregon Agricultural College athletic board of control held its meeting and arranged the 1818 foot ball schedule. Portland Trip Expensive. Last year was the first time that the annual state gridiron championship bat tie was played in Portland. There has been an undercurrent of feeling both in Eugene and Corvallls that the Oregon football classic should be played either on the university or college campus. The expenseo which the students were subjected In making the trip to Port land was the prime motive In the board of control's decreeing that the 1918 game be played on the Corvallls cam pus. Arthur O. Leach, general manager of student athletic activities at the Cor vallls Institution, and Fred Boehler, of Washington State College, were of the opinion that the Washington' State Oregon Aggie game next Thanksgiving day would be an attractive game from a box office and playing standpoint. Acting Superintendent of the Mult nomah Club Weiler said last night that, as far as he knew, there was nothing to prevent the W. S. C.-O. A.

SHE SEEMS CERTAIN Pendleton Practically Chosen for Training Camp. McCREDIE READY TO SIGN If Buckaroo Fans Will - Consent to Portland Playing at Home Last WecsSEnd, Judge Will ' Take Team to Round-Up City. If Judge McCredle does not change his mind overnight, the Portland base ball team- will pitch training camp in Pendleton next Spring. ; This much was decided yesterday after the . Portland magnate had again- conversed with Henry W. Collins, of Pendleton, who is one of the fans who invited Judge Mc Credle to train his players in the Round-up city. Collins told Judge MeCredie to make out his own proposition to the Pendle ton fans, and that they would agree to anything" that was within reason. The one' hitch which kept MeCredie from signing the original agreement was the fact that Buckaroo fans wanted the Portlanders to play four Saturday and Sunday games in the Eastern Ore gon city. Judge MeCredie wanted to stage a Saturday and Sunday game in Portland before the opening of the season in jrder to try and break e: on the training trip. Collins gave the judge to understand that he did not think Pendleton fan would ask the Portland team to remai in Pendleton for the fourth Saturday and Sunday unless the gate receipt warrantee holding the team over. Pendleton farts turn out in goodly num bera the Portland team will stay Pendleton until the day before th opening of the Pacific Coast Interna tional League season. If they fail to file past the turnstiles in copious quan titles the Portland owner wants nlav the Foundation Shinvard. team this city on (he Saturday and Sunday before the season opens. a a . m Judge MeCredie received a telegram from Billy Speas yesterday saying how much salary the ex-Portland outfielder wanted to manage the Portland team this season. .When the judge came up for air after having noted Speas" terms he said there was no chance of Speas piloting the team unless he "comes down to earth" with his demands. "Speas evidently does not know the war is on. said Judge MeCredie yes terday. "We would like very well to have him on our club and possibly manage it, but as long as he entertain such lofty ideas about salary there Is not a chance. - e The Portland magnate is in com munication with a first-sacker named Fisher, who formerly held down th initial cushion, for Vernon and later went to Tacoma. Fisher is at present managing the Pasadena club in the Winter league in Los Angeles. Fisher wants to play .first base and manage the Portland team. Yesterday Judge MeCredie wired him asking for hi terms. 'and, incidentally, -inquired how he stands with regards to the draft, . e Al Cook, ex-Oakland lnflelder. at present in Chicago, will receive a con tract from Judge MeCredie within the next few days. Cook has been anglin with the Portland magnate for a job, and yesterday MeCredie sent him a con tract. Whether or not the salary Item is satisfactory remains to be seen. II. OF 0.

How badly this opportunity for con structive practice has been needed was evidenced by the slaughter of the Ore gon quintet at the hands of the O. A. C. aggregation two weeks ago, and the absence of Coach Hayward from the campus the greater part of last week. Minus their director, tne team lost in a few nights the greater part of what they had .gained during the entire sea son.
