Aggie Manager Points Out I utility ,
Of Break With Conference Uer t
Football Money Split.
That the colleges and universities !
other than the University of Wash
ington are not worrying over the
statement of Darwin Meisnest, grad
uate manager of the Puget Sound
institution, to the effect that unless
the five other schools of the Pacific
Coast conference accept Washington's
terms instead of abiding by recently
enacted rules, for games on the
Seattle campus that gridiron teams
would be brought to Seattle from the
middle west, is the opinion of James
J. Richardson, general manager of
student activities at Oregon Agricul
tural college, who was a Portland
visitor yesterday enroute from
Seattle.
"At the recent conference meeting
every school but the University of
Washington voted for an equal divi
sion of the gate receipts," said Rich
ardson, yesterday. "The University
of California with 9000 students voted
with Stanford, Washington state col
lege, University of Oregon and Ore
gon Agricultural college. California
has twioe as many students as the
University of Washington and stands
to lose more than the Seattle school.
"For many years, in fact- since
Dobie first started coaching at Seat
tle, Washington has dictated to the
other schools. Dobie, they tell me,
would walk into a conference meeting
with his schedule prepared in ad
vance and say, 'here is my schedule,
gentlemen, sign your contracts.'
"Those days are over. The smaller
institutions maintain they are half
the attraction. The smaller institu
tions have just as much overhead
as the University of Washington, so
that Meisnest's statement that a
larger overhead expense is attached
to Washington in putting on a game
is not true.
Old Days Are Over.
"Because Washington has been
monarch of all it surveyed in ath
letic circles for many years is no
reason why - such should be the case
in the future. All that the other
schools ask is an even break on the
receipts. We have our coaches and
trainers to pay. We purchase just
as much equipment for our teams as
Washington. We pay just as much
to. chalk off our gridiron for a foot
ball games as does Washington. Print
ing of tickets and advertisements in
Portland papers is on a par with Se
attle. "Meisnest says they must build a
monster athletic field and that the
first unit of 20.000 seats will shortly
be erected. Why does not Washing
ton figure that the University of Ore
gon just went in debt for a big sum
of money to erect a grandstand and
iooiDan rieia at mugene. mat Ore
gon Agricultural college must have
a new grandstand and football field
and the same applies to Washington
State college. It takes money to do
these things and we are entitled to
consideration.
Mf" Would Result.
"Let Washington bring out these
middle-west football teams as they
intend. Also let them plan on bring
ing out middle-west basketball, base
ball, track, soccer, wrestling and
other sports. They would be In a
mighty fine mess when they finished
paying transportation for all of these
teams. But Meisnest must reckon
with his student body. The students
want to sit at a game with some
thing to cheer for. They want com
petition in rooting aside from activ
ity on the athletic field. I am sure
the students of the University of
Washington will demand that their
institution be a party to equal rights
for all instead of standing out alone
for something that is absolutely un
reasonable. "I must say that aside from their
attitude on this very vital subject
that the Washington delegates were
very fair in all matters. I don't know
of a person more amiable than Coach
Hunt, who certainly tried to map out
the football schedule in a most satis
factory manner to all the schools
concerned."

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE.
Pullman, Dec. 8. (Special.) Bas
ketball each night is attracting a

nasium. The squad Is this week in
charge of Carl Diets, assistant to Ath

in Seattle with Coach Welch and Dean
Carpenter, attending the anual meet
ing of the Pacific Coast conference.
Indications point to another sterling
five this season, although the court
team will this year be light. The
weight handicap is offset, however,
by the fact that five basketball let

different for Two Tears.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 8. (Spe
cial.) -James R. Brewster, wealthy
cigar merchant and former president
of the Seattle baseball club, is de
fendant in a suit for divorce, begun
in superior court today by Mrs. Pearl
E. Brewster, who alleges he has
treated her with utter indifference
for the last two years.
Mrs. Brewster asks for a decree
giving her half their property, valued
at $150,000, and including 250 shares
in 12 retail tobacco stores in this city,
one in Everett, nine lots here, a farm
in Oregon, two automobiles, a restau
rant at 810 First avenue, 155 shares
of stock in the Morgan Cigar com
pany of Tampa, Fla., and extensive
holdings in Texas oil fields.
The Brewsters live at 2731 Boylston
avenue North. They were married in'
Tacoma December 24. 1898, and for 16
years were supremely happy, Mrs.
Brewster's complaint states. .
About four years ago, she alleges,
Brewster began to grow cold toward
her and to neglect her. His neglect
grew, she says, to total indifference
about two years ago. Twice, Bhe al
leges, he left her, but was taken back
after much pleading. Mrs. Brewster
says she has now lost all confidence
in his promises. Brewster will con
test the case, he says.
BEZPEK QUITS PIRATES
GEORGE GIBSON NEW PILOT
OF PITTSBURG NATIONALS.
Former Oregon Football Coach Ex
pected to Devote Whole Time to
Penn State Athletics.
PITTSBURG, Dec. 8. George Gib
son, former catcher for the Pittsburg
national league baseball club, today
accepted an offer to become its man
ager. He succeeds Hugo Bezdek.
noted as a -football coach as well as
in baseball circles.
It has been takln for granted for
sometime that Hugo Bezdek would
not be at the helm in Pittsburg next
season. The choice was put up to
him several weeks ago by Barney
Dreyfuss of either giving up his work
at Penn state or handing over the
reins at Pittsburg. The former Ore
gon mentor has always made It plain
that he preferred to work with col
lege athletes than professional ball
tossers. His great success with the
Penn state eleven this year no doubt
caused him to decide to retire as a
baseball manager.
The moment the Pirates played
their last game in St. Louis Bezdek
slipped away from the ball club and
hied himself to State College, Pa.,
to enter upon his duties as coach of
the college football team.
There is no doubt he Is more at
home with the college boys than else
where and there Is no discounting
the success he has had In that work.
It is said that he is idolized at Penn
state and that if he cares to remain
there all the year round, there would
be no difficulty arranging terms.

State Organization Wants Amend
ment to Constitution Covering
Fish Propagation and Angling.
Delegates from various sportsmen's
clubs throughout the state met at
the Imperial hotel yesterday for the
annual convention of the Oregon
Sportsmen's league.

re-elected president of the organi
zation. Dr. J. Q. Gill of Lebanon
was elected first vice-president; Ar
thur Holgard of Elgin, second vice
president; S. C. Bartrum of Roseburg
was re-elected secretary-treasurer.
With A. K. Downs presiding the
delegates started their session at 10
o'clock in the morning by the ap
pointment of various committees with
instructions to report back at the
afternoon session.
When the delegates gathered for
the afternoon session the first busi
ness to come before the meeting was
the report of ' the credential com
mittee and the Beating of delegates.
After much discussion on the report of
the committee which had refused to
accept the credentials of some of the
out-of-town representatives the fol
lowing delegates were seated:
R. J. Kirkwood of Portland, Dr. E. C.
McFarland of Lake Grove, H. F. Hutery,
Moro: E. X. Hurd. Seaside; E. 3. Hawker.
Woodburn; W. C. Burns, Santiam: A. K.

burg; A. C. Marsters, Roseburg; M, F.
Hardstey. Seaside.
Following the seating of the dele
gates the committee on resolutions
made its report. Three resolutions
were reported favorably upon by the
committee and were shot through
without any discussion or arguments.
The first was that a vote of sym
pathy and condolence be extended
to Mrs. W. N. Matlock of Pendleton,
widow of the late W. N. Matlock,
vice-president of the association.
New Law Recommended.
In accordance with a resolution
passed at the last convention to con
sider 'the proposition of segregating
the sportsmen's interests from those
of the commercial fishermen as re
gards the state fish ;ind game com
mission, the resolutions committee
reported favorably upon a resolu
tion recommending that a bill be
initiated at the next general election
that .will have for its purpose the
creation of a game commission, sepa
rate and distinct from all commer
cial fishing and commercial interests.
It is also proposed that the game
commission consist of five members
to be appointed by the governor upon
the official recommendations of the
following organizations and institu
tions; One to be recommended joint
ly by the Oregon Agricultural college.
University of Oregon and Reed col
lege; one by the state grange; one
by the district forester of the United
States forest service, district 6; and
two to be recommended by the Ore
gon Sportsmen's league, the five
members to elect a chairman from
their number.
local Rule Favored.
The last of the three resolutions
to be adopted provided for an amend
ment to the state constitution per
mitting that citizens of the various
districts by any particular streams
or rivers be permitted to provide by
popular vote for the control of the
propagation and taking of the fish
from such streams within the speci
fied districts. The legislative com
mittee was entrusted to prepare an
initiative measure for such constitu
tional amendment and present the
same to the voters of the state of
Oregon at the next general election.
Two amendments were made to the
constitution of the organization, the ,
first being that every sportsmen's j
club within the state claiming an af
filiation with the Oregon Sportsmen's
league central organization be taxed
50 cents per capita, the money to go
to a general fund to carry out the
work of the organization. The other
amendment provided that in the fu
ture no one connected with the fish
and game warden's office could be
seated as a delegate at the annual
conventions.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting R. B. Nason. secretary of the
Washington State Sportsmen's asso
ciation, spoke on the work which the
Washington organization has accom
plished during the past year.
Shoemaker Makf. Statement.
In a statement issued after the
meeting Carl D. Shoemaker, state
game warden, had the following to
say:
"For the first time in the history
of the Oregon Sportsmen's league, the
fish and game commission was not
made the target of the resolutions by
those assembled in annual meeting.
During the entire session not one
word was uteered against the work
of the commission. I feel particularly
proud of the work of the game de
partment during the past year, 'for
with the force 40 per cent less than
usual we have had nearly 100 arrests
more than in any previous year in
the history of the department and
have had fines assessed amounting to
$14,999, which is nearly $5000 more
than in any previous year.
"The work of the commission meets
with the approval of the great ma
jority of the real sportsmen through
out Oregon. The commission wants
to co-operate with the rod and gun
clubs and game protective organiza
tions, to the end that game may be
conserved and Increased."
Gas; Rale Ckargrd.
"Gag rule" was the charge freely
made against the methods in vogue
at the meeting by sportsmen who
were shut out. The assembly room
contained a considerable number of
active sportsmen from different parts
of the state, who claimed they were
refused a seat in the deliberations of
the body.
Of the many members of the legis
lature around the meeting, only Sen
ator Charles Thomas, representing
Rogue river fish interests, had a vote
and a voice. E. I. Ballagh of Colum
bia county says that he brought ere
dentials for the first time, although
he has attended the meetings for
period of years. Representative Bal
iagn says that he was told that "he
was a good fellow, but as he played
with the Shoemaker crowd," he
couldn't be seated. Earl Simmons.

PILOTS HUNT FDR TALENT
BASEBALL MANAGERS HAVE
TOUGH LICK IX EAST.
SI wash Magnates Succeed in Land
ing Three Ball Players While
Other Bosses Go Hungry.
Charley Graham's complaint that
he was unable to secure any players
from the majors for the Seals on his
recent trip east is not a monologue.
Charley is merely the leader at the
calamity chorus. About five other
Coast league managers have joined
in the refrain. Bill Essick, Vernon
pilot, and Clyde Wares. Seattle boss,
are the only ones present with a
cheerful chant of optimism.
Graham passed considerable time in
the effete east and was able to ex
tract nothing but promises from the
major league magnates, and there are
a lot of things in this world more
binding than the promises of big
league owners. True, they mean well,
but too often they find they need all
the talent in their business.
So Graham made a deal for Bob
Steele, an American association
pitcher, and in that way avoided
coming home empty handed, while
giving the home scribes some red-hot
copy to grind out.
Clyde Wares and "Prexy" Bill
Klepper of Seattle have been more
successful in their efforts to get
talent and several days ago an
nounced the acquisition of Marlin
Kopp, Ray Bates and Robert Geary
from the Philadelphia Athletics. Kopp
is rated as a high-class outfielder and
is said to be the real stuff. Ray
Bates is none other than our well
known Ray, and played with Los
Angeles last season. Geary is a
pitcher.
Wares and Klepper, who are still
in the east, are displaying more real
get-up than any other outfit in the
league. Seattle is out to line up
regular crew of balltossers for 1920
and are going about like they meant
business. The pair expect to get to
gether with the powers that be in
New York and close for a couple of
more high-class players they have in
mind.

Homer Howarth, Portland diamond
haunter, who worked behind the bat
for the Beavers several years ago and
later got a trip to the big league via
Cleveland, pastlmed with Fort Worth
in the Texas league last season, but
expects another flyer in the majors
next season. Haworth is wintering
in Portland and is waiting for word
that he has been either sold or traded
by Fort Worth to some major league
club.
"Judge" W. W. McCredLe sold Don
Rader, the Medford youngster who
played shortstop for the Beavers part
of last season, to the Beaumont club
of the Texas league, but whether
dashing Don will report to the oil
town delegation is another thing. If
the fans will look back in the book of
the time they will gather that Vernon
sold Rader to St. Joseph of the West
ern league last year, but he refused to
report and landed with Portland, Mc
Credie making a dicker for him with
the St- Joseph management. Rader
has let it be known in the past that
he would not play in any league less
than class AA and may stick to It.
The whisper is out that "Pep"
Young may be shunted to Portland
by Detroit because of his light stick
work last season. Young would fill
"Paddy" SIglin's shoes at second base.
Several trades are contemplated by
Manager Charley Graham before the
coming of spring, provided, of course,
he can do any good for his club by
them. It Is hinted that Jim Soett and

setting the pace, rolled in champion
ship form, and had no trouble in get
ting three games from the Toke-Point

opened up ten wide ones.
