field combination of Zeider, Culsto,
Knight and Mitchell looks much bet
ter than that with which the Oaks
started last season. Knight at third
base Is a big improvement over Red
Murphy, while Louie Guisto is show
ing up better than he did any time
last season. All that Howard hopes
for is his pitchers to get Into, shape
before the start of the race, and he
says if they do, that his Oaks will
be in the running from the start. -
The Oaks will play four games to
morrow and Sunday. Tomorrow they
meet the Standard Ojl nine of this
city on the trans-bay lot, while Sun
day morning they play the Maxwell

"TCIJ" SPENCER OCT IX COLD
Sajt Lake Pilot Finds Hig Twlrler
Is Back In Fold.
BOTES SPRINGS, Cal., March 18.
(Special.) Manager Ernie Johnson
has two things of importance on his
mind, besides getting his athletes in
hape. He is trying to enare an In
fielder of class to use in case Marty
Krug stays stubborn and refuses to
report, and he wants to sell Catcher
Ed Spencer, the former big-leaguer.
Two years ago practically every club
In the league wanted Spencer. Now
there is no scramble for him. Salt
Lake sold him to Seattle, but Ed re
fused to report there. He says he
wants to play with some California
team. Johnson would like to unload
him on the Seals. Two years ago
Charley Graham was much disap
pointed when Salt Lake heat him to
Spencer, but he is not wildly excited
about him now.
Bill Rumlcr, the leading hitter of
the league, has developed a knot on
one leg that will keep him from play
. ing ball for a little while. Johnson
does not want to take any choices
with the slugger and has told him to
take things easy.
A kid pitcher named Thurston looks
good to Spider Baum and other good
judges and he may cop off a regular
job for himself. Max Rachac, a lusty
youth from Montana, joined the squad
and will endeavor to convince John
' son that he is a pitcher. He has
plenty of strength.
OAKS HERALD 'PHENOM' FIND
Howard Announces Outfield Coin-
N bi nation for Season Start.
OAKLAND, Cal., March 18. (Spe
cial.) When the Oaks line up for
their first game of the season with
the Los Angeles club at Los Angeles,
the chances are that Claude 'Mitchell,
a youngster developed on the east
bay sand lots, will be at short for
them. Manager Howard had his play
ers out for their longest workout of
the training season yesterday, and he
was able to give the kid the real ups
and downs. Some think he is the
equal of Billy Kamm or' Jimmy Cav
eney, when it comes to fielding. He
reported to the Oaks as a third Back
er, but Manager Howard, figuring I
Jack Knight for the third base job,
thought he would work Mitchell at
short. It only too him a couple of
days, after watching Mitchell, to for
get about looking for a shortstop.
Glnglardl stepped up from San Diego
and showed promise of giving him a
good fight for the shortstop job, but
Mitchell has been getting, better,
while Ginglardl appears to be nurs
ing a sore arm.
Kollie Zeider stayed out for the full
workout yesterday and the old boy
ought to be in good shape In a couple
of days. For the first time since re

Leaguers Work Up Moist Sweat
in San Joaquin Bottoms.
STOCKTON. Cal., March 18. (Spe
cial.) No games were played today,
but the Seals went through a snappy
practice. The weather was warm, so
the boys got up a good sweat. Jimmy
O'Connell. Herbie Hunter and Billy
Hamilton did not put on uniforms.
They're on the calomel squad and
under the watchful eye of old Doc
Carroll.
Jim Scott will take a team of Seals
to play at Chowchilla Saturday and
Sunday two games will be played
here. Captain Bartholomew of Mare
island has an all-star navy team, and
he wired 'that he would bring a spe
cial train and 800 gobs with a 65
plece band to put some jazz into the
game. The Seals will battle the edit
ors and will then take on the Holt
team of Stockton, the bunch that bat
tled them to a no-score tie last
Sunday.
Conditions have been about right,
what rain has fallen has not inter
fered in the least with the workouts.
The pitchers are rapidly rounding
into shape and will soon be able to
go through nine innings at top speed.
Ray Jordan is taking things easy,
but he is doing a little more each day
and he will soon be ready to start. He
is a seasoned box man and knows
about what to do to condition him
self, so Manager Graham Is letting
him train in his own way.

Tight Playing Makes First Squad

HANFORD, CaL, March 18. (Spe
cial.) Of the six innings played to
day by the first and second Seattle
teams, four were so tightly contested
that it looked like a possible victory
for Ray Bates yannigans. Bates sent
in two left-handers against Sammy
Bohne's regulars. In the fifth inning
when Pitcher Francis was sitting
pretty with nothing on him. Catcher
Tobin of the "Bohnheads" rapped out
a mighty two-station- hit and peeled
the bases of two runners who . got
on through errors.
The yannigans pitched Francis and
Sweeney, both southpaws, and Gard
ner and Schorr pitched for the regulars.-
The score was 2 to 0,-with two
hits for the first team and three for
the second.

ponents gained the votes of Senators
Glass, Virginia; Overman and Sim
mons, North Carolina, democrats, and
Warren, Wyoming, republican.
Before the second vote two futile
efforts to amend the reservation were
made. A motion by Senator Calder,
republican, New York, to strike out
the clause dealing with self-deter
minatlon, was tabled. 51 to 30 and an
amendment by Senator Sterling, re
publican. North Dakota, to eliminate
the phrase expressing hope for con
summation of Irish freedom, was
tabled, 70 to 11.
tt Reaervatloa Tabled.
After the Irish reservation finally
had been approved. Senator Simmons,
democrat. North Carolina, made a
last-minute fight to secure a change
in the republican reservation to arti
cle 10, but his substitute providing
that the United States would use its
"friendly offices to help preserve. ter
ritorial integrity and pdlitical inde
pendence," was tabled by a vote of
'45 to 34.
After a final attempt to modify the
republican reservation to article 10
had failed, the senate tonight re
affirmed, by a vote of 54 to 26, Its
adoption of the reservation.
Demticrnlii Divide on Issue.
All of the opponents of the article
10 reservation on the final vote were
democrats. Forty republicans were j
joined by 14 democrats in its adoption. I
The democrats who voted for it were
Ashurst, Chamberlain, Gerry, Gore,
Henderson, Kendrick, Nugent, Phe-
lan, Ptttman, Pomerene, Reed, Shields,
Smith of Georgia, and Walsh of Mas
sachusetts.
All supporters of the Simmons ar
ticle 10 substitute were democrats.
Five democrats. Gore, Olkahoma;
Reed, Missouri; Shields, Tennessee;
Waish, Massachusetts, and Williams,
Mississippi, voted with the republi
cans to table the 'proposal.
Senator Lodge said the Simmons
substitute was "vitally defective" in
that it barred the use of American
military forces only under article
10, while the Lodge reservation de
nied their use for any purpose under
any clause of the treaty without ex
press approval of congress.
Debate on the Gerry Irish reserva
tion reached a high pitch of bitter
ness with many charges of political
manipulation and bad faith. Re
publican leaders tried repeatedly to
modify or strike out the general dec
laration of adherence to the doctrine
of self-determination.
I dangers in front of us and the alter
natives are a ' continuation of our
j state of war for another year or the
unthinkable thing, for us to make, a
separate peace after we have gone so
far as to agree on its. main lines witbj
our.comrades in arms. !
"Despite the feeling of President
Wilson and his associates that the
strength of the league is somewhat
undermined by the reservations, Mr.
Hoover expressed - the opinion that
"they also should accept" them.
"Regardless of what any of us may
think should have been the provi
sions of either the league or the
treaty," he asserted, "we and the
world should not be kept waiting
longer for a settlement."
Mr. Hoover continued:
"The world is steadily drifting back
to a worse state "of International an
tagonisms than existed before 1914.
. . . No moderating Influences can
be set up until wa come to a conclu
sion and join the league that was
created at our inspiration and upon
which the entire theme of settlement
our real hope for a better world
revolves.
"I believe a great foundation of
peace lies in the continuous function
ing of a body of great International
representatives sitting outside" the
pettiness of day-to-day International
relations engaged upon conciliation,
the mitigation of antagonism, the
very effective boycott of disturbers
through arousal of public opinion
against them and through it the Im
mediate undertaking of disarmament
of the world to a simple' defensive
footing."
The United States need not be "in
volved in scores of treaty commis
sions dealing with purely European
matters," he said, "yet the reparations
commission, the most powerful eco
nomic body in the world, is conduct
ing without our veto a control that
affects not only our trade in Europe,
but many other interests highly Im
portant to us closer at home.

"We stand fast by the treaty on

MULTNOMAH JCXTORS ELECT
Young Clubmen Figure in Hard-
Fought Political Battle.
The first step for a permanent or
ganization among the intermediate
members of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club was launched last night,
when they gathered for the purpose
of holding their first annual election
for a board of trustees. The election
rivaled the recent balloting of the
senior members of the club for politi
cal campaigning. Two tickets were
in the field, the regular and inde
pendent, and the choice of the new
trustees was divided between the two.
Donald Peek. Paul McCusker, Al
fred Flannagan and Ronald Honey
man were elected on the independent
ticket, while Edwin Serr, Fred Martin,
Harlan Gram and William Peek were
successful on the regular ballot.
The first meeting of the newly
elected board of trustees will be held
next Thursday night. - -
'Hypocrisy," Says Lodge.
Senator Lodge declared that such a
policy had a touch of "hypocrisy,"
when put forward by a nation which
had fought for four years to hold the
south In the union against its will.
Senator btefling characterized the
reservation as an. "under-handed at
tack" connived by Senator Hitchcock,
democratic leader, to defeat the
treaty.
Among the democrats. Senator Wol
cott, Delaware, and Trammell, Flor
ida, assailed the proposal as an at
tempt to drag politics into the treaty
fight, while Senator Borah, republic
an, Idaho, leader or the irveconcil
ables. declared the effort of Senator
Lodge to amend the self-determina
tion reature was a political move
which it was hard to find words to
describe.
The llrst rollcall on the reserva
tion came while the senate was In
committee of the whole and when
the result was seen, republican lead
ers tried in vain to stave off the sec
ond vote until tomorrow. Senator
Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, stirred
the galleries to Cpplause when he
concluded a plea against delay by
declaring the country was tired of
the treaty debate.
Senator Simmons, in his final at
tempt to modify the reservation to
article 10, announced that he could
not vote for ratification otherwise.
He declared that Senator Lodge had
changed his mind twice when an
agreement seemed almost at hand as
to a compromise. ' .
Conspiracy Hinted At
Tt is an anomalous situation." Sen
ator Simmons said, "when by reason
of an iron-bound agreement ort some
sort, which probably had been en
tered into at the very beginning of
this controversy, those who wanted
to ratify the treaty on the republican
side could not vote their convictions
without consulting men who differed
from them on every fundamental prin
ciple.
Senator Lodge declared there had
been "no conspiracy" and that re
publican senators naa only been "en
deavoring to act together."
We cannot conduct matters on this
side of the aisle," said Mr. Lodge, "as
they are conducted on that side. We
have no one to write us letters.
I have endeavored to secure modi
fication in this reservation which
would permit as many senators as
possible to support it. But we have
reached the limit. The parting of the
ways has come, and if senators on
the other side cannot supply the nec
essary votes to ratify the treaty with
the reservations as they now stand,
then on their heads be it, and we will
take it to the tribunal of the Amer
ican people."
Senator Borah said he had been
standing "with the president in seek
ing the defeat of the treay."
There is just as much alliamse be
tween the president and myself," said
Senator Barah, "as there is- between
the senator from Massachusetts and
myself."
HOOVER URGES RATIFICATION
CITY LEAGUE IS LAUNCHED
JACK ROUTLEDGE HEADS NEW'
SEMI-PRO BODY.
City Park Bureau Announces In
tention to Provide' Ample
Diamonds for Teams.
The Portland Baseball association,
an organization formed from among
the semi-pro managers of the city and
vicinity, was officially launched last
night at an enthusiastic meeting held
at the A. G. Spalding store. Per
manent officers were elected for the
year, a regular meeting place was
selected, constitution adopted and by
laws given considerable attention.
The new officers elected were: Jack
Routledge, president; C. P. Kaiser,
city superintendent' of parks, vice
president; D. M. Simonsen, secretary,
and M. Brosy, treasurer.
As planned now, four divisions
classified aa to their relative strength
will be formed, playing a schedule of
games in their classes, probably des
ignated as divisions A, B, C and D.
Out-of-town games will be appor
tioned each team in the schedule to
be adopted at a later meeting. It is
proposed to send each team out of
town at least once each month.
The matter of playing grounds came
In for lengthy discussion. City Super
intendent of Parks Kaiser was pres
ent and promised that the necessary
grounds would be provided, saying
that the organization of managers
through whom the grounds could be
apportioned met with his hearty ap
proval and would, in his estimation.
greatly help both the park bureau and
himself in that It would to a great
extent eliminate the mad scramble
for grounds so prevalent on each
Thursday morning in past years. The
city has recently come into possession
of additional diamonds and grounds
upon which diamonds could be laid
out.
Another meeting is to be held in the
Multnomah Guard clubrooms, 232
Chamber of Commerce building, on
next Thursday evening, at which time
further plans for the advancement of
semi-pro ball as well as organization
of the new leagues will be taken up.

chairman of the democratic national
committee, in an address here tonight
at a dinner attended by democratic
leaders of Kentucky. The commit
tees. Chairman Cumminers said, were
appointed to ascertain whether there
had been any graft in the conduct of
tne world war.fcut instead, "demon
strated that this was the cleanest war
ever fought in the history of civil
ization.'
"The finger of scorn does not point
to one single aemocratic official of
all broad America," added Mr. Cum
mings. "I want to remind you that
It does not lie in the mouths of those
who conducted the Spanish-American
war to indulge in the luxury of criti
cism. What is there in this war to
compare with the typhoid-infested
camps of the war of 1898; what Is
there in this war to compare with the
paper-soled shoes controversy of 1898,
and what is there in this war to com

Leadership la Glorified.
"We have fought a great war for

leadership which has1 carried America
to greater heights of glory and power
and splendor and honor than ever be

"The republicans have been in con

eight months," the chairman con
tinued. "They went in under false
pretenses. They outlined an elabo
rate programme of reconstruction
that looked very well In the news

Innumerable avenues of trade and
commerce would have been opened to
American enterprise and halted in

ers association. Inc., and others, was
the chief speaker of the evening. He
has been associated with Mr. Katz
and others of the dairymen's league in
holding organization meetings 'n va
rious counties. He gave a history of
the development of the California in
dustries, which he declared have been
put on a paying basis to the growers,
have been marketed at fair prices to
the consumers and which have made
entire communities prosperous by sta
bilizing of various industries.
Declaring that, through more than
20 years of .experience, California
growers have established every pos
sible kind of a precedent for action
along co-operative lines, it has been
proved beyond doubt that this sys
tem is an excellent thing for all
concerned. Mr. Sapiro strongly urged
those present to lend their sympa
thetic moral and financial aid, if
need be, to the proposed new or
ganization of the dairy industry in
Oregon.
Co-operative System Urged.
That the co-operative tystem is the
best conservative means of establish
ing an industry on a firm basis and
of placing the members in an inde
pendent, prosperous condition, is the
best way to overcome all forms of
radicalism, including the non-partisan
league, was the declaration of
both Mr. Sapiro and Mr. Katz.
Put the producer on a prosperous
basis and you absolutely remove from
him all possibility of his paying any
heed to the agent of the Non-Partisan
league or any other radical organiza
tion," said Mr. Sapiro. "But permit
those who labor and strive to make
a fair living out of their hard work
to starve, or virtually that, and you
will have a field for the ready recep
tion of all forms of such modern prop
aganda.'"
Mr. Sapiro related how tne raisin
industry of California had been saved
and put on a sound basis within a
few years, so that all of the growers
in the four counties of the raisin
district there have been made pros
perous; the merchants, bankers, etc..
have received' direct legitimate bene-
fits and whole communities have, he
asserted, been salvaged through the
system of co-operatfve marketing. At
the same time, he said, the markets
have been stabilized, excellent prod
ucts have been supplied to the con
sumer at fair rates and no one -is
harmed but 'the speculator, who has
been shut out of the business.
Oregon Has Advantages.
"Oregon has it on California in
this excellent dairymen's league,"
said Mr. Sapiro, "and it has the best
co-operative law in the country, also,
r take off my hat to this state on
that score, but there are things you
can learn from California's experience
along this line, and those are at your
call.
"Applying our experiences to your
Oregon dairy situation, I can say ab
solutely without hesitation that the
purely co-operative system which we
have tried out and. proved successful
can be your salvation and will be,
uable contribution to this country
is not its gold discovery or anything
else not even Hiram Johnson but
this proved co-operative plan.
System's Worth Proven.
"The system in California has de
veloped until in 1319 there was mar
keted in that state a total of agricul
tural products of 1350,000,000. It has
absolutely solved the producers' prob
lems and has made it Impossible for
the non-partisan league or any other
political organization of this radical
typo to get a foothold there. In the
raisin Industry alcne, which In 1911
was the sickest thing you could find
In California, we now have 11,000
members. And what is true of that
organization, is likewise true of the
other industries which mean so much
to the state."
In the proposed organization of ths
co-operative milk plan. Mr. Sapiro
said there should be 25 directors, 22
of whom should be chosen from the
milk: districts of the state and the
other two bv the dean of the agricul
tural college by the chief of the
bureau of markets, the,two being des
ignated . as direct representatives of
the public, with equal voting power
to any of the others.
"We follow this plan," said he, "and
have found that it pays to take the
people into our confidence and treat
them right."
The reorganization of the Oregon
Dairymen's league having been ef
fected, it was stated by Mr. Katz that
the new organization would proceed
to standardize the supply of milk; to
improve its quality through all mod
ern means; to market it at the least
possible cost to the consumer, com
patible with a fair return to the pro
duqer; to standardize also the Oregon
butter market, by establishing an ex
elusive brand, with the guarantee of
the organization behind it; to take
over or construct necessary plants for
the manufacture of this butter, the
making of powdered milk and any
other by-products found to be neces
sary to the proper distribution of the
supply and to safeguard not only the
interests of the producers, but the
general public, as well, "and to for
ever put a stop to the possibility of
any outside organization or individual
upsetting the market and ruining
everyone connected with the in
dustry."
Prohibition Is Factor.
Asked by William F. Woodward
whether prohibition had increased the
consumption of milk. Mr. Kata said
he believed it had; that the consump
tion per capita had been Increased
and that at least some of It is at
tributed to that.
Prominent bankers and merchants
of Portland and other cities of Ore
gon and southwestern Washington
were present at the dinner. They
were Invited to attend the meeting of
the Oregoa Dairymen's league, to be
held in Central library hall tomorrow.
Mr. Katz announced that more than
600 acceptances have been received
from milk producers throughout the
state to be present.

Tractor Goes on Farm.
KELSO, Wash., March 18. (Spe
cial.) F. L. Stewart, cashier of the
Kelso Stats bank, has purchased a
Heer four-wheel drive tractor for his
large farm at La Du on the Columbia
river west of Kelso. This is the third
tractor on the place. The farm was
diked last year and reclaimed from
overflow and at least 400 acres are
"Always on the Job." ,
That, according to Hugh McN'ary,
associated with B. S. Cook, a local
realty dealer, sums up the chief char
acteristics of Herbert Hoover aa of
fice boy for the old Oregon Land com
pany at Salem during the years 18s,
1890 and 1891.
Mr. McNarv then, as now, was asso
ciated with Mr. Cook and knew "Bert"
as the youth who at 14 to 17 years
of age served in- the important posi
tion of office boy. He is an ardont
admirer of Mr. Hoover and yesterday
said he hoped that Mr. Hoover would
be the republican presidential nom
inee. There are probably no better au
thorities in Oregon on the life of
Hoover as a boy during his sojourn
in Salem than Mr. Cook and Mr. Mc
Nary, and both agree that he never
went to a school of any Kind In fort
land, as reported in the Literary Dl
gest and as-announced It will be as
serted in the Sunset Magazine.
Mr. Cook was positive that Mr.
Hoover never went to school in Port
land and said that the writers who
have made this statement are In
error.
"Herbert Hoover, or Bert, as we
knew him, was always on tbe Job,1
declared Mr. McNary yesterSay.
have never known anyone more de
voted to his tasks than Bert was. He
was always at the office before the
routine hour for reporting on duty
worked diligently throughout the en
tire day and as a usual thing was
about the last person to leave in the
evening. He was not at all talkative
and if there was any conversation It
was always the other fellow who did
most of the talking. I was in Wash
ington in December of li17 and, hav
ing business in the district where Mr,
Hoover's office was located, I strolled
In to see him. I was curious to see
whether he had changed much. I was
struck with the manner in which
was received. He was very pleasant
and expressed great delight at seeing
me, after which he sat at his desk,
silent, waiting for me to carry for
ward the conversation. He was Just
like his old self.
"In those days at Salem there was
no eight-hour day, and everyone
worked as hard and long as possible
Of course, Bert had to go to school
and was not around the office as
much of evenings as some of the rest
of us. But he put in the whole day
there and was very busy. He always
did his work whole-heartedly and was
quick and thorough.
"In addition to going to the grades
and the old polytechnic lnmltuto, IWt
took some special work from Miss
Frances A. Knox, who conducted a
private school in Salem. She has long
been on the staff .if the University
of Chicago. Bert prepared himself
for the university and when he was
Just 17 left Salem for Stanford. Miss
Knox left about the same time."
