DUGDALE HOLDS OUT BAIT Is Trying to Get Seattle to Leave the Pacific Coast Aggregation and C?o Into a Pacific Na tional Circuit. The next meeting of the Pacific Coast aKUe macnates will toe held at San Francisco January 24. according to a com Jiuinlcatlon received by Judge W. W. Mc Trcdle from President Beru Some time ngo the league's clilef executive named Judgp MdCrcdle and James Agnew, of Se attle, as a committee to decide upon the date of the meeting, and the foregoing . date has been found to be convenient to both. The rumors of the withdrawal of Seattle continue to be heralded abroad, and so far no emphatic denial of the story has emanated from the city by the Sound, and on account of this apparent Indifference existing there the rumors have gained considerable prominence in baseball cir cles and tho fans are speculating as to the circuit for the coming season. In spite of the lack of knowledge as to the intention of the Seattle people. It is not .generally believed that they Intend to do otherwise than stay by the good old ship known aj the Pacific Coast Tyiague, for the statement of their representative. Mr, Agnew. at the league meeting hold in this city last Summer to the effect that ihey would le found In line for the com ing season, is given the preference over unsubstantial rumors. Propose Old National Circuit. Advocates of the old Pacific National League circuit of Portland. Seattle. Taco ma. Spokane. Butte and Helena have been particularly active of late, and that there Is more behind this than mere talk has been adduced through the fact that :. propostlon has 'been made to a certain ballplayer who was wjth Portland last season to assist In organizing a team for this city to take a place in a. proposed outlaw league. The men who propose to Invade this territory are Lucas. McClosky and DugdRle. The last-named has had his eye on thU city for several years, and even after his disastrous experience with Brother Ben," is said to be all the more anxious to acquire a footing In Portland. His cherubic highness. Dug. ha6 written to player mentioned broach ing the subject of Joining them In the promotion of the new enterprise, and that player has stated that he considered the, matter for a short time, or during the Interval between dismissal by the local t lub and the acceptance by him of an of ftr from an Eastern team, upon which he discontinued - negotiations with the fat man from Ballard. rugdale'R proposition held out as bait the fact that It would be compar atively easy to raise Interest In the j ropod Invasion among the fans of Poitiand, by advancing the proposed signing of Garvin. McLean, Win French. Tim Flood. Jake Atz and a f-w others In the opinion of the Invad rrs. would gladly embrace an oppor mnlty io better their condition by Joining hands with the invader. The tempter probably named these players though the belief that they enter tained a grudge against the Portland management, except In the case of Flood who Is under suspension and tin oply play In an outlaw league, and the. fat boy evidently believes that tncre an. a few. suckers le.ft In this Ity who are willing: to back an outlaw cam at tji expense of being: separated l-om any wealth they may. have accu mulated t'hrough other channels. Sonic Raw "Work.

Such an easy grail wax "not lo be dispensed with as long as tliere re mained places unworked. so the worthy trio singled out Vancouver. B. C, as the place of tnelr next invasion, and It was the same old story. The little town of some people was settled upon for the next experiment. McClos key succeeded In Interesting tne citi zens of Vancouver to such an extent that they erected a ball park costing something like $30,000 and at the end of tnc season, which by Ihe way came before the scheduled time, they were many thousands of dollars to the bad. Experience is the only teacher, and it may be that tin re are some persons In the City of Portland who would be willing to hook up with the McCloskey-Lucas-Dugdale "skindlcate" concern. If so they are remarkably silent as to ihelr Intentions. Notwithstanding all the rumors rel ative to the change of circuit, outlaw league and others. It Is a settled fact that this city will be represented in the Pacific CoHst League circuit of 1S06. and that it will b furnished as good a -brand of ball, if not better, than that of the pait season.

The Seattle Athletic Club team will line up for the Multnomah game exactly as It did two weeks ago. when the teams played here. They have arranged matters for Dr. Council, and the Seattle General Hos pital will get along without him while the husky fullback Is working for glory on Multnomah Field. "Baldy" Cole will, at least, start In at quarter. There Is some talk of putting In "Dode" Brlnker at one of the nds, but Athletic Club authorities declare he will not get a chance to work when the first half Is started. It may be he will be fitted In either at end or quarter later in the game. It Is expected 20 mon will make the trip as members of the team.

Though the railroad has given the club a special round-trip rate for the party of football fans going- south with the team. It Js certain no more than KO will make the trip. A party of fans started tonight. and another colony will trickle through the depot, gates tomorrow, most of them going down to Portland on the afternoon train. The week has been discouraging here for outdoor practice. It has rained in sheets most of the time, and tpday snow felL But the team, for all that. Is in pretty fair condition, and probably will play an im proved game over that put up here two weeks ago. There will be Seattle money to bet on the team, but most of this Is looking for the short end of a I0-to-S or better proposi tion. Seattle somehow thinks that Mult nomah backers ought to play their team stronger than a mere even-money prop osition, and will demand It. Multnomah Eleven Has Two Tryouts.

Ill Seattle's Husky Team the Winged "31" Jlns a Foe That Will Be Hard to. Beat on ' thq : Gridiron. . Two good practices were held by the members of the Multnomah football hquad yesterday, several of the men getting out during the afternoon, and almost the en tire team In the evening, when they were put through their paces by Coach Over field. The afternoon work-out was par ticipated In by about a half-dozen of the regular players, the team being rounded out by second-eleven men. during which the greatest interest prevailed. In spite of tne fact that they went through the ma neuvers during a pouring rain. The evening work-out went off In rat tling fashion, every man being In the right position at the right time, and the coach expressed himself as satisfied that the team would be able to do as well against the visitors on New Year's day as It did on th- recent visit to Seattle. McMillan at Quarter. McMillan at quarter has worked to ad- Vantage, for the veteran has been direct ing the plays as though he had played that position during his entire career, and the confidence shown In him by the team in general augurs well for their chances against the heavier Seattle club. Seattle Is sending a team that will ave: age almost 12 pounds to the man more HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS OF EASTERN OREGON than the locals, and this advantage will prove a hard one to overcome, when the class of the opponents Is considered- Rol ler has an all-star team, and its capabil ities cannot be made light of In the least, for Its men have made reputations on the gridiron, and arts considered the finest aggregation of football talent in the Northwest. The local men will have to play their very best game In order to gain the slightest advantage over their husky op ponents, and It behooves them to go into the game without the usual overabund ance of confidence go manifest In the past contests on the local field. Best Talent in Washington. In the Seattle Athletic Club team. Mult nomah goes up against an eleven that possesses the cream of the football talent ofthe State of Washington, and in addi tion it Is outweighed by the visitors. Dr. Roller Is well aware of the advantage of weight In a game, and he can be trusted to use this advantage to the best of his ability, and woe betide the unfortunate individuals on the local eleven through whom the Seattle team makes a. gain or two early in the game, for the, smashing line-bucking of Roller. Council. Cutts and Bagshaw will be hurled at them time an again. Templcton and Kerron will prove strong additions to the home, team, and no doubt they will be used extensively h. rTmn the ball for Multnomah, for both are good yardage men. and capable of turning a trick once In a while.

Jack O'Brien, accompanied by his vile:, stepped on a train at the Broad-street station today. The conqueror of Fitzslm raons received a rousing reception from the big crowd assembled at the depot. "This account of my challenging Jeffries is untrue."' said he. "I did say that If Jeffries voluntarily came out of retire ment and the public demanded a fight be tween us. then I should be willing to, meet him. These three offers from Reno, Nev , look good to me. "Very likely I will accept the 515,500 pffer with Ryan. I am anxious to clear all doubt about the middle-weight champion ship. Then I'll take on Hart- I most rs suredly claim the heavy-weight und middle-weight titles. Fitzslmmons defeated every man in the class except Jeffries. Jeffries retired and the title reverted to Fitzslmmons. As I defeated the Cornlsh man, the honor comes to me, and I will defend it." INTEREST IN BOWLING. Good Contests Are Taking Place oa the Alleys.
