13 THE MORXLG OREGOMAX, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1921 niiimnr nr n k mn iHliuL Ur UlfkliiLnG AIDS SEATTLE CLUB Fans Backing Team Managed by Stock Company. SITUATION HERE SIMILAR Sale of Franchise by Dugdale Is Said to Have Injected Xew Life Into Ball Xine. BY ROYAL BROUGHAM. SEATTLE, Wash., July 26. (Spe cial.) The story of how Seattle rose from a baseball grave to be one of the livest balltowns in the minor leagues in the short space of a few months might be interesting reading to Portland folks, who are now about to give up the last semblance of en thusiasm for the national pastime. Portland's case is much the same as Seattle's was back in 1918, when the northwestern league turned up its toes and called it quits. When David Edward Dugdale. the czar of the league for many, many seasons, said he had enough of losses and voted with the rest of the' own ers to give up the ship, that decision meant the rejuvenation of the Queen City as a baseball town. That's a harsh etatement, but it's true. "Dug," as David Edward, was known over the baseball world, is a good old scout, and as square as a die. He paid his bills and was honest in his dealings. Hut he was "through" as a magnate, and nobody knew it bet ter than Dug himself. Reputation Hurts Game. In the first place, Dugdale gained, through his long association with baseball in this city, the reputation of being cheap. The old veteran was a business man, and nobody ever heard tell of his scattering gold coins up and down the highways. In the war years, when money was tight. Dug was never known to let go of any of it for players. And It was this reputation which got him in bad with the boys and girls who pay their "Jack" at the gate. So when the team wasn't winning pennants, they stayed home or went motoring. Thus a city which is now drawing 10.000 and 15,000 people to a 6unday game wouldn't turn out that many people in a month. They didn't want to see a Dugdale team play, and that was all there was to it. McCrrdie Makes Offer. In the winter of 1918, Judge W. "W. McCredie, a business comrade of Dugdale for many years, made a trip to Seattle and had a visit with the owner of what was left of the Seattle franchise. The judge wanted Seattle In the Coast league, and he told Dug as much. A team in Seattle would make Portland's transportation bur den lighter, and would also give the north another vote in the league. Dugdale saw the light, and the judge received assurance from the Coast league heads that there was a good chance for Portland and Seattle to be admitted. About this time a few public spirited citizens, with a love for the game in their hearts, had a heart-to-heart talk with Dug. They showed Dugdale where a team backed by all the city would be a success, while a Dugdale team might not be. Dug said he'd sell the franchise; made a couple of propositions and a group of live wires from the local Elks' club got together and raised some thing like $10,000, just to cinch the deal. They paid this amount down on the club, and bought a half-interest. 4 Second Purchase Made. Seattle was admitted into the Coast league with Portland and everything was rosy. But still Dugdale retained a half-interest, and everybody knew who would run the team. So one day the 30 or 40 men who were interested submitted a proposition and bought every dime of Dugdale's stock. Seattle went into the league in the spring of 191 with a joke ball club. xne team nnisned last, but every body knew the directors were trying, and they rewarded them with the biggest year's attendance of any city in the league except one. The fans had confidence in the owners, and when they put a fair club in the running last season, the people kept coming. This season the Indians are drawing better than ever, despite the fact that money is not as free as in the past twoyears. Stockholders Are Boosters. The stockholders have nothing to I say about running the team the directors attend to that. But every stockholder is a booster, and 20 or 30 big business men boosting base ball has its results. The man who has only 1500 worth of interest knows he's an owner, and he is boosting for baseball all the time. And that's why' Seattle Is regarded as one of the best ball towns in the minor leagues today. Portland, so they say up here is not dead as a baseball town She's only sleeping. And maybe a change In ownership, as effected in Seattle would be the "shot in the arm" which wou.d put the city on the Willamette on its baseball legs. COSMOPOLIS BEATS ABERDEEX Stars Trim McCIeary.

STATE TO CLOSE TODAY Clcotte, Jackson and Williams May Also Be Called On to Give Evidence at Trial. CHICAGO. July 26. The defense in the baseball trial will send at least four of the ex-Chicago White Sox players charged with conspiracy to throw the 1919 -world series to the witness stand to testify, it was an nounced tonight as the state entered the last half of the ninth inning in its presentation of evidence. Chick Gandil, named by state wit nesses' as an organizer of the alleged $100,000 sell-out; Buck Weaver, third baseman; Swede Risberg, shortstop, and Happy Felsch, centerf ielder, are the men It was announced would testify. Eddie Cicotte, ' Joe Jackson and Claude Williams, the three players who confessed to the grand jury that they were paid to throw games, also may take the stand. The state will finish its case tomor row. Confessions Read to Jnry. The defense announcement came after the confessions of Cicotte, Will iams and Jackson had been read to the jury today. Most of the White Sox team have been called as witnesses, and today "Dutch" Ruether, now with the Brooklyn Nationals, but who pitched the first game of the 1919 world series for Cincinnati, was subpoenaed by the defense. Court adjourned this morning while the attorneys went over the grand' jury confessions, eliminating all names except those of the men mak ing them and a few names of men not implicated in the case, but -which had to be left in to preserve the contin uity of the statements. At the afternoon session they were read to the jury by a state's attorney with court stenographers who. orig inally took them down checking the reading from their short-hand notes. Cicotte Confirms Barns. The actual transcripts of the con fessions varied but little from the frequently published reports. Cicotte confirmed some of Bill Burns' testimony mentinolng the meetings Burns said were held in New York. Cincinnati and Chicago, although mention of Burns or of other players said to have been pres ent was stricken out. The ex-pitcher told of hitting Rath, the first man up in the first game, while trying to walk him, but said he played his best after that. 'I pitched my best afterwards, he said, "I didnat care what happened. They could have had my heart and soul if I could have gotten out of the deal I guess that was the trou ble; I tried too hard and played poor ly as a result." Speaking of another game, Cicotte said that while playing he "wished some one would come out and shoot him." Confessions Xante Sams. I lay awake all one night think ing and wishing that there was some way I could go out and win that series myself, he said. I would gladly have given back the $10,000 they paid me and with interest. The confessions of Jackson and Williams told how they received $5000 each after the fourth game, being promised $20,000 each. Both denied making intnetional errors, but said they "might have tried harder." Williams, in referring to the second game, which he pitched, said: "I didn t have to make errors; I just walked some men and then some base hits came along and the game was gone. Tomorrow the state will announce either that it has finished its case or will put Bill Maharg of Philadelphia on the stand to give testimony de signed to corroborate the testimony of Bill Burns., If Maharg does not go on tomor row he and Joe Gedeon, former St. Louis player, will be used by the state in rebuttal testimony. The defense plans to move tomor row that the case against Carl Zork of St. Louis and Ben and Louis Levi of Kokomo, Ind., be dismissed on the ground that insufficient evidence has been presented against them.

Wallace Consents to Referee Contests. LOCAL MEN TO PRACTICE Three Events to Be on- Programme Toniffht at Sellwood Park Casting Pool. Seattle will be represented by a team of 12 casters in the international fly and bait casting championships to be held here under the auspices f the Multnomah Anglers' club August 19, 20, 21 and 22. according to Jack Her man, secretary of the local club, who I returned yesterday from a five days' trip to the Puget sound city. Con siderable interest is being taken in the coming tournament by the Seattle fly and bait experts, who train daily for the events, declared Herman. Herman's trip to Seattle was to persuade Elmer J. Wallace to act as captain and referee of the tourna ment. Wallace was one of the first anglers on the Pacific coast to take up scientific casting and knows thor oughly all the rules pertaining to the sport. With Wallace acting as captain and referee, the casters may be as sured everything will be run off in fine shape. He has handled many tournaments and has gained quite a reputation for keeping things moving in rapid order. Included in the team of 12 men from Seattle are Bert Farr and W. Endholm, two crack performers with the rod and reel and rated- among the top-notchers of the Pacific coast. In the accuracy bait events Endholm has been breaking over the 99 per cent mark consistently. Farr and End holm will motor down from Seattle and are planning to arrive here about August 15. This will give them sev eral days' training at the Sellwood park casting pool, which will be the scene of the International events. Bob Byler is another Seattle caster who is showing up exceptionally well, especially in the accuracy events. John Menotte, another member of the Seattle club, will drive down from the Puget sound city with his family several days before the tournament. Menotte's 16-year-old son is following in the footsteps of 'his father and, according to Herman, has the mak ings of a champion caster." He will enter in the tournament and may cause some of the older contestants a little trouble. Four casters are coming from Ta coma for the tournament. Bill Baily and B. B. Perrow are the leaders of the Tacoma delegation and are ex pected to finish well up among the leaders of the tournament. Baily's long suit is distance bait events. which he is able to shoot the plug considerable distance. The local anglers will hold their regular practice session tonight at the Sellwood park casting pool, starting at 6:30 o'clock. The three events will be the half-ounce distance bait, five- eighths-ounce accuracy and the 5 ounce distance fly. More than 20 members of the local club are turning out regrularly for the practice events w ii DMARK JIMMY DUNN jj llli1 fl sill iff isssslissssssssssssssssssssssaaBsaHlBtsssssssnsstlisssssslSBssss Mike Butler, one of tho ardent an glers of the club, made a special trip from Corvallis yesterday to be on hand for the events tonight. Butler is gaining great proficiency at the game under the tutoring of Jack Herman. The new targets, which was spe cially constructed for the tournament next month, will be tried out tonight. A new building, which is being con structed at the Sellwood park and which will be used as a clubhouse by the casters, is about completed. It will be ready for use of the anglers In about another week. August 7 the members of the local club will again be the guests of Jim Morris at his home on the bank of Oswego lake. Two Sundays ago th anglers and their families spent a very enjoyable afternoon at Morris place. The fishing at Spirit lake. Mount St. Helens, is now at Its best, accord ing to reiports received from that vicinity. Cutthroat, rainbow and lake trout are taking both spoon and fly. The forestry service has prepared a beautiful camo site, whirh . t, disposal of the anglers, many of whom are making the climb of the moun tain, where the whole Cascade pan orama is displayed before them.
