Comment on Dugdale's Money-Ac-quiring
Propensities Seattle
Hurrying to Bottom Place.
Portland's Fine Team.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
Bhadow, then sunlight, then gloom,
followed by Joy supreme, has been the
fortune of the hungry Portland fans
for the last two weeks, or since the
cohorts of Walter McCredie, somewhat
dilapidated, to be sure, meandered oft
to California's promised land for the
purpose of assailing the enemy in the
foreign bailiwick.
True, the gloomy shadows lasted
hardly one short week, but the re
peated defeats of the crushing variety
received at the hands of the mutt bri
gade from Oakland mole caused cold
chills to chase themselves up and down
the portion of the human anatomy the
small boy said one end of which was
used to sit upon and the other to hang
up your hat when strolling about in
the outer air.
However, Manager McCredie and hln
husky bunch of batwielders committed
murderous assaults upon the offerings
of several Angeleno pitchers, as well
as trimming up a couple of the Ancient
Athenian Aggregation, before visiting
the Orange Belt, and now the volatile,
if not versatile, bugs of the home burg
are supremely happy in their contem
plation of the goodly, fattened batting
averages attained by the muchly ad
mired hirelings of Billiard Impresario
Walter and his ever-smiling uncle, the
Jedge.
And maybe there won't be a glad
some crowd on hand at the Vaughn
street lot a week from next Tuesday
to welcome the popular baseballlsts
home again. Guess Judge McCredie had
a bum hunch when he started the erec
tion of a new portion to trie grand
stand and extra bleachers. He had bet
ter get busy and reinforce his fences,
for the crowds are likely to do the
opening Sunday stunt and assail the
barrier.
That the Portland team is likely to
head the list at the November show
down seems more probable every day.
Walter McCredie has a collection of
baseball talent which can be classed
as the very best, except in one depart
ment, that this city has ever had as its
representative on the baseball map. In
the department excepted, pitching, Mc
Credie has three as classy pitchers as
are to be found in any minor league,
but other Portland teams have had as
many as five slabsters of equal merit.
Would-be advisers to the manager
have been counseling McCredie to se
rure a first-class left-hander as an ad
dition to his trio of star pitchers. A
good lefthander would indeed be a
line addition to the team, but a "wrong
sided" twirler is not absolutely essen
tial, providing that the right kind of
right-hander can be secured. Besides,
it is much easier to secure a good
right-hander than it is a left-hander,
for the latter variety is exceedingly
scarce, and a manager fishing for pitch
ers of that kind at this time of year
is more apt to draw a deuce instead
of an ace, while among the right
handers there is but little chance or
his being bunked. One regrettable thing
is that McCredie did not hold on to
Irving Jensen, the Spokane wonder,
when he had him last Winter. How
ever, this cannot be helped at the pres
ent stage of the game, and who could
have foretold that Bloomfleld, Harmon,
XAkaft and Pernoll were to prove weak
' sisters?
Lakaff, had he made good, would
have been the very man for the place.
He was a big, strong, husky left
handed pitcher, built something on the
Doc Newton order, but seemingly
lacked the requirements of a steady
box artist. It was on account of hav
ing Lakaff and Pernoll that Manager
McCredie listened to the pleadings of
the Spokane management and allowed
the pet of the Falls City to return,
and it has proved a glorious deal for
Spokane, for Jensen has pitched his
team into the lead in the Northwest
ern League. We.ll, McCredie will have
him anyway in the Fall, and next year
he wiil have an opportunity to pitch
Portland into the lead of the bigger
and better Pacific Coast League.
Now tor a word or two about our
Northwestern neighbors.
It has been the custom of our Seattle
compatriots to roast the daylights out
of the Pacific Coast League at each and
every opportunity, and hardly a Sunday
passes but something detrimental to the
Pacific Coast League is sprung by the
enterprising critiques of the Elliott Bay
burg. These same scribes worship at the
feet of the long-ago-exposed Daniel Ed
ward Dugdale, the Ballard Beach chicken
rancher, who has so successfully bunked
the Seattle fans with alleged baseball
teams for several years.
Along last December the writer was in
Seattle and during a conference with Dug
dale was informed that he would give
Seattle a pennant-winning team this year
or retire from baseball. Seemingly It was
Dug's usual brand of hot air, and while
lie started out with a big four-flush by
announcing the purchase of "Pug" Ben
nett from St. Louis for numerous and
large quantities of the gilt, and of Emil
Frtsk and Bill Coy from St. Paul for
like sums of the gilt, his splendid galaxy
of talent representing Seattle in the poor
old Lucas league seems to have fallen
down completely, and in a week or two
promises to pry the cellar champions out
of their hole and serenely occupy that po
sition by itself. Fine for Seattle and
her Dugdale-worshipping fans.
Dugdale has the ambition to become
one of Seattle's millionaires, and the only
difference between Dug and other gen
tlemen of "enormous" wealth on Elliott
Bay is that Dug, provided he retains the
Seattle baseball franchise for sundry
years to come, will have his millions in
actual money and not tide flats under 16
feet of muddy water. Dug is too sly
to buy Invisible land and as long as the
"faithful" of the Northern burg contrib
ute their shekels at Dug s cigar box ball
park to witness his alleged ball tossers
perform. Dug will be in a fair way to
realize his ambition to count six ciphers
at the end of his bank roll. Dug is the
money-getting kid all right, and he does
not caro . tinker's whoop whether Se
attle likes his ball team or not, and as
long ins the poor unfortunates continue
to flock in at his gate he will sit back
and smile serene smiles of deep content
ment. And the Seattle scribes will laud
him to the skies as the greatest manager
ever. , ,

STATE FAIR WILL HELP
Entries Will Compete for Two Sets
of Awards and Expenses Will
Be Only Slightly In
creased Over Past.
With the- heartiest assurance of the
strong support of the Oregon State Fair
Association and the State Board of Ag
riculture, the Portland Country Club and
Livestock Association has no hesitancy
in declaring that the exposition to be held
in this city the week of September 21-26
will be the finest and most complete dis
play of its character ever held on the Pa
cific Coast. Beveral of the officers of the
State Fair Association and of the State
Board of Agriculture have been in Port
land within the past week and they have
shown as much interest in the first an
nual meet to be held here as they have
in the big exposition to be held at Salem
during the week of September 14-19.
As a matter of fact the men behind the
Salem show are working hand-and-glove
with the men who are endeavoring to give
Portland the highest class production in
the history of the Northwest, The ar
rangements for both expositions are such
that neither will interfere in the least
respect with the success of the other, but,
on the other hand, each will greatly con
tribute to the success of the other.
N Will Help State Fair.
The fact that Portland is to enter the
lists as a livestock exhibiting point will
help Salem; in fact, it already has mate
rially helped the State Fair Association
from the fact that the stockmen and
stock breeders throughout the Northwest
will be able to snow their exhibits first
at the state capital and then bring them
to Portland. The advantage of this ar
rangement is that the expense will be
cut in two and the amount of premiums
awarded will be doubled. This, it is ex
pected, will add unusual inducement to
the sportsmen of the Pacific Coast.
As an indication of the great Interest
that is being taken in the Pacific National
to be held here, a letter was received by
President S. G. Reed, yesterday, from
Crouch & Sons, of Lafayette, Ind. They
own- not less than a score of high-class
stock farms throughout the Middle West
and the East and .they were among the
leading trophy winners the- two week'
livestock exposition during the Lewis and
Clark Exposition of 1905. At that time this
great firm of importers had on display
several herds of beef and dairy cattle and
they carried off the highest honors with
their entries in the horse-show ring. In
cluding Belgiums, Percherons, Clydes
dales and German Coach horses.
The Country Club and Livestock Asso
ciation will probably secure as Judges for
the various divisions and classes the ex
perts who have been engaged by the State
Fair management. Secretary Frank
Welch, of the State Board of Agriculture,
yesterday announced the list of. Judges
who would officiate at the Salem exposi
tion, as follows:
List of Salem Judges.
IH vision A horses. Professor W. J. Black,
of Winnipeg, Man.; Division B, cattle
(beef breeds), J. F. Stodder, Burden,
Kas. ; Division C, cattle (dairy breeds), F.
H. Scribner, Rosendale, Wis.; Division D,
sheep and swine, Professor Carlyle, of
Oregon: Division E, poultry, R. E. Jones,
Nashville, Tenn.
The selection of the starting Judge for
the State Fair has been left entirely to
M. D. Wisdom, of Portland, who is vice
president of the State Board of Agricul
ture, and the man that he selects will
no doubt be asked to officiate at the race
meet held here. As a matter of fact the

expects to have a board of Judges com
posed entirely of Eastern experts and the
list which has been chosen by the State
Fair is entirely satisfactory to the man
agement and will, without juestion, be
asked to act during the exposition here.
This will serve three distinct purposes. It
will give the Eastern experts a chance to
see the character of livestock produced
in the Far West; it will mean absolute
unbiased Judgment, and, thirdly, it will
give the stock breeder of the Pacific
Northwest a chance to see what Portland
can do as a beginner in comparison with
the State Fair after 47 annual exhibits.
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Bailey Will be one of the strong contest
ants in Division. B (cattle). He has re
cently brought to Portland from Cali
fornia a large herd of fine dairy cattle,
all of them winners of blue ribbons at
fairs where they have been shown hereto
fore, and he will enter in all the classes
in which his exhibits can qualify.
Bailey Does Good Work.
In addition to this, Mr. Bailey for the
past few months has taken the opportu
nity of interesting the dairymen in the
various dairy sections of the state in the
Pacific National and he has received
many letters from dairymen to the effect
that they will enter exhibits not only at
Salem for the state fair, but at the big
exposition here.
"There is no question whatever," said
Mr. Bailey yesterday, "but what Portland
will have the grandest display of fancy
stock that has ever been assembled in the
Pacific Northwest. I have heard from a
great many of the foremost dairymen and
stock breeders of Oregon, but I have been
in communication with the dairy com
missioners of all the other states on this
side of the Robky. Mountains, and I can
safely say that the classes in the dairy

and beef cattle division will be well filled.
"It is an additional advantage to Port
land, entering the lists this year, to have
the great packing plant started right here
at our doors, for I have been reliably in
formed by the officials of the stockyards
and the local packing establishments that
their buyers are already in the field work
ing up interest among the stockmen of
the Pacific Northwest in the show we are
to hold. This will Increase Interest not
only in our exposition,' but will serve to
add impetus to the livestock raising In
dustry of this section.
"Outside of the cattle industry I find
that the horsemen of this state and of
adjoining states are greatly interested,
and for this reason we may look for the
finest display ever held in these parts."
STROXG GAME: FOR TODAY
Tri-City League Contest Promises to
Be Fast One.
One of the best games of the Tri-City
League season is scheduled for the
Vaughn-street lot this' afternoon, when
the West Portland club will meet the
Woodburn outfit in an encounter which
may change the standing of the league
leaders.
The West Siders are in fine condition
and so far have not suffered very
materially by the loss of players. The
few desertions have been replaced by
equally good men. Woodburn has an
exceptionally strong team, and with
Bowen in the box, is one of the hardest
minor teams in the Northwest to de
feat. In addition the Indians have been
strengthened by the acquisition of Joe
Fay, the well-known Portland player,
who was with McCredie the greater

SHOW
portion of the season of 1907, and his
assistance has added ' renewed confi
dence to the already enthusiastic team
from up the valley.
Howard, the West Side twirler, has
won all the games in which he has of
ficiated as slab artist so far this sea
son, and his opponent-to-be has almost
as good a record of which to boast. A
good-sized crowd of fans is expected to
be on hand at the Vaughn-street lot
this afternoon, and while engaged in
watching the speedy youngsters cavort
around the diamond, they will be in
formed of the score by innings of the
game McCredie's men will endeavor to
take away from the Angelenos down
by the Orange Belt. The umpire at
today's contest will read off the score
of the Portland-Los Angeles game as
fast as the returns are received by wire
from the Southern end of the Pacific
Coast League. The Tri-City League of
ficials decided upon this as a means of
adding interest to their games in order
to get the crowds, for they are satisfied
that once the fans attend these games
they will become highly pleased with
the quality of ball played by the Junior
league.
Such players as Joe Fay, Claude
Schmeer, Joe Mangold, the Parrott
brothers, Kirby Drennen, Lavier Shor
ey, McElwain, Huddleson and the oth
ers of both West Portland and Wood
burn are among the most promising
baseball talent of the state, and are
capable of putting up a brand of base
ball of the really clever character. The
lineup for this afternoon's game will

Gun Club to Hold Shoot at St. John
Instead of South Portland.
The Multnomah Rod and Gun Club will
hold its regular weekly shoot at St. John
today, instead of at South Portland, be
cause the shooting ground at the latter
place is inundated by the high water, and
the St. John grounds have been brought
into use temporarily.
In addition to the contest for the Inman
medal there are two handsome sliver
cups offered for the marksmen who com
pete today, and all members of the club
are urged to come out today and make
the contest one of the best of the sea
son. Shooters are urged to be on hand
as early as possible for the committee de
sires that all marksmen have a chance
at the two cups as well as the Inman
