McCredie Secures Graney,
Young Twirler Now With
Cleveland Americans.
TEAM HOME ON TUESDAY
W ill Play Four Weeks' Engagement
Royal Welcome Awaits Players
From Fans Bleacherltes Have
Kick Coming. '
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
Next Tuesday the Portland fans will
Again com into their own, for Walter
McCredie and Ms huskies are slated
for a four weeks' engagement on the
home lot commencing on that date.
The first visitors will be the Seal brlg
de. and if Manager Mac has figured
correctly, Portland should have the as
sistance of a couple of first-class addi
tions to the pitching: staff, who have
been purchased in the East and axe due
to arrive here this week.
Manager McCredie insists that he is
out after the pennant, and the fans are
with him to a man, for hardly any of
them doubts the possibility of Port
land capturing the flag.
The chances of McCredie1 men win
ning the premiership depend entirely
upon the addition of at least one com
petent twirler. Bobby Groom and Ed
die Kinsella have been bearing the
brunt of the work during the past
three weeks, owing to the illness of
Jese Garrett and the unreliability of
Marshall and Johnson. Johnson seems
to be too valuable a player to be used
aa a twirler, for his trusty club is
needed in the game regularly.
Team Does Well, Considering.
With only two reliable pitchers, the
Portland team has done remarkably
well, and once the pitching staff Is
braced up, the proposition of acquiring
a neat lead over the balance of the
teams will be rendered easy of solution.
Groom and Kinsella have each
pitched 17 games and each has won
ten of them. Garrett, who Is at pres
ent incapacitated, has won eight and
lost six games. With one more relia
ble pitcher to help out as soon as Gar
rett recovers, Portland will experience
no trouble in garnering her share of
victories. Manager McCredie has
started in the right direction in the
matter of reinforcing his pitching
staff. He has been dickering with the
Cleveland American League Club for
the services of Pitcher Frank Hess,
and Manager La.loie asked the other
major league clubs for their waivers
on this player. According to the Na
tional baseball agreement, before a
player can be sold by a major league
club to a minor league the other clubs
of both leagues have the refusal of the
rlayer'e services, which is termed
waivering.
PHclier Graney Secured.
Instead of securing Hess, Manager
McCredie was tendered the services of
Fltclier Graney instead, for several
clubs refused to pass up their claim
on the big ex-soldier. Graney is a
clever twirler, although but a young
man. He played last season in the
New York State League and was se
cured by Cleveland at the close of the
season. He has worked in a few games
this year, but as Cleveland is in the
running at the present time. Manager
L.-ijote probably preferred to rely on
his veteran twlrlers instead of experi
menting with his new men.
The Clevelander is a pretty 'nifty
twirler, and if he is passed up by all
of the American and National League
clubs, McCredie can consider himself a
very lucky man.
Guarding against this contingency.
Manager McCredie has his wires work
ing for other twlrlers, and these are
said to be major leaguers also. At any
rate. It is a safe bet that Portland will
shortly have a pitching etaff second to
none in the league.
In Roy Mcl'arland, the Oakland

land team may have another Garrett

Who rides
The above picture shows Governor Hughes,
for Oakland, but only figures in four,
as he relieved others who were batted
out of the box in three of the games.
Of the four games he won only one,
and was defeated in the others prin
cipally because of his lack of control.
It would be a wise move for McCredie
to hold McFarland and give him a
thorough trial, and the change of
teams may prove as lucky for him as
it has for other players in the past.
The ex-Oaklander was given his first
opportunity to work for Portland on
Friday, but unfortunately he developed
a streak of the wobbles toward the lat
ter end of the contest, and Portland
dropped the fourth straight game to
the Seals.' ,
Warm Welcome Awaiting.
Despite the reverses suffered at the
hands of the Seals and the Athenians,
the loyal home fans cherish fond recol
lections of the handsome trimming ad
ministered the Angels, and when the
boys return home a most gladsome as
well as cordial welcome will be ex
tended them. Once on the home lot and
some of the hospital corps returned to
duty, there will be things doing in the
victory line that will gladden the
hearts of fandom Immensely.
One thing seems absolutely certain,
though, and that is, a tremendous kick
is likely to be registered by the sun
gods of the left field bleachers. The
cause of their possible wrath is the
fact that when an addition was added
to the grandstand the west end of the
structure was boarded up completely.
Just why this was done is not ex
plained, although a similar occurrence
was noted some two years ago when
an extension was added. A wail of
protest went up from the bleacherltes
and Ben Ely got busy with his carpen
ter gang and the obstruction was
quickly removed. Judge McCredie will
probably be prevailed upon to do like
wise. A bleachcrite is the most rabid
kind of baseball fanatic and he gen
erally gets whatever he demands. Ae
it is essential that a patron of a base
ball game be in position to witness the
activities about home plate, those who
are likely to be deprived of this by
the absolutely unnecessary wall at the
end of the grandstand will have a le
gitimate protest coming, and it is a
cinch they will voice it.
NEW RULES FDR ATHLETES
COLLEGE REGULATION'S PROM
ISE CLEAJT SPORT.
Four-Year Rule Would Disqualify
Many Men Who Have Played
During Preparatory Course.
BY REFEREE.
Athletics in the leading educational in
stitutions of the Pacific Northwest will
hereafter be governed by the conference
rules adopted at Walla Walla last Feb
ruary. The six Institutions that sub
scribed to these rules; are Idaho, Oregon,
Washington, Whitman, Washington
State College and Oregon Agricultural
College. Enforcement of the conference
rules will have a most wholesome effect
upon college athletics in the three Pa
cific Northwest States and will put the
different branches of sport upon a much
higher plane. Charges of professional
ism and crooked work will not be heard
again In the Pacific Northwest if the
spirit of the Walla Walla rules is ad
hered to.
Chief among the rules adopted is the
four-year rule, which is self-explanatory.
This rule not only prevents prose
lyting and professionalism, but it pro
motes good scholarship. Many instances
might be cited where athletes have
played from five to seven years and have
then fallen short of graduation. With
the four-year rule rigidly enforced the
athlete will find that he will not be tol
erated beyond the estimated time of his
regular course and will therefore turn
his attention to something else possi
bly his studies.
Four-Year Rule Unjust.
According to a strict interpretation of
the four-year rule, many athletes who
have represented colleges while in the
preparatory departments would be ineli
gible to membership on future teams
because the rule has been made retro
active. Take for instance the case of
Phillbrook, who was recently elected
captain of the track team of Whitman
College for next season. Phllbrook has
represented Whitman for three years
and prior to his entrance to the Walla
Walla College he represented Pacific
University for two years, although ,he
was only a preparatory student, or sub
freshman at the latter institution. The
same thing is true of young Huston, who
has been elected captain of the Oregon
track team for 1909. Ralph Rader, of
Washington State College, Is another
man who would be disqualified by a
rigid enforcement of this rule, although

CO. NORTHWEST, 330-336 East Morrison Street, Portland, Or.
he is still an underclassman at Pull
man. If the letter of thus rule is enforced,
Jamison, the big O. A. C. tackle, has
only one more year in athletics, notwith
standing the fact that he has only fin
ished his freshman year at Corvallis and
has had but one year of football there.
For two years prior to his entrance to
the Oregon Agricultural . College Jamison
played on the Utah Agricultural College
team, he being a student in the prepara
tory department of that institution.
Favor Liberal Construction.
It seems certain that the conference
colleges will place a liberal construc
tion upon this four-year rule and that
preparatory work done in the different
colleges will not count up against it.
There would be no justice in disquali
fying such men as Phiibrook Jamison
and Huston simply because their pre
paratory work was done in the sub
freshman departments of other colleges
and at the same time allowing' Moullen
(Oregon) 'Taylor (Oregon) ' Savidge
(Idaho) and Tegtmeier (Washington),
all of whom received their preparation
at high schools and played on high
school teams, to compete after they had
engaged in athletics for four years be
yond the common schools. Such a rule
would work rank injustice especially
when made retroactive. According to
the Northwest conference rules, each
college is the final judge of the eligi
bility of its men, and it will be inter
esting to note the interpretation of
this particular phase of the four-year
rule. The writer was one of the first
to urge the formation of a Northwest
conference and would be the last to
disregard any of its rules, but there
appears to be no good reason why a
liberal construction should not be made
on the particular point which I have
outlined.
Pullman will suffer harder than any
other Northwest institution because of
the four-year limit. Hardy, Nissen and
Miner, three of the best football men in
college, have been on the Washington
State team for four seasons or more
and are therefore ineligible. Whitman
has lost several men and Oregon has
been deprived of the veteran Arnspiger,
who will assist Coach Forbes during
the coming season. Washington, Idaho
and the Oregon Agricultural College
will not suffer at all on account of the
four-year requirement.
Besides those who will be out of the
game on account of the four-year rule,
many old men have been lost by grad
uation. Idaho has lost Keyes, Arm
strong and Stein; Washington has
handed out a sheepskin to Enoch Bag
shaw and Oregon has conferred degrees
upon Zacharias, Kuykendall and
Moores. Pullman has graduated Golds
worthy and Miller, and Whitman has
seen the last of Per'ringer, Dimlck,
Graham and Dutcher. The Oregon
Agicultural College has graduated Em
ily. Dunlap, Rhinehart, Bennett, Schroe
der, Greenshaw and Pavolt. All of this
means that there will be many new
faces on the gridiron, track and dia
mond of the Northwest during the
coming season.
Rules Should Be Enforced.
The amateur rule as well as the rules
of scholarship and the year's residence
rule for men from other colleges, all of
which were adopted by the Walla Walla
conference, have already been com
mented upon by the writer in these
columns. These rules are most whole
some and should be enforced.
MONSTER ELK AT SEASIDE
James Heckman Verifies Legend oi
Kecanlcum Mountains.
SEASIDE, Or.. July 4.-(Special.)-James
Heckman, who is just in from a
timber cruise in the Necanicum Moun
tains, is able to verify the legend of a
monster elk which has led many hunters
on a wild chase through the mountains
of the Upper Necanicum.
For years it has been reported that an
elk larger than any horse in Seaside, with
a hoof that made a track over seven
inches in diameter, roamed the woods
near the headwaters of the Necanicum
and the North Nebalem. He was too
wary for the most experienced hunters
who tried in vain to stalk him.
Jim took a stroll while they were
nooning and wrthln a half mile from
camp, came to an open glade containing
about 80 acres. Standing within the edge
of the timber he counted 16 elk feeding
leisurely In the opening. He noticed three
bucks, good large fellows, but he almost
had the ague when he saw the monarch
of the herd, which he avers is a monster.
Being to leeward of the band and within
80 yards of them, Jim hd a splendid
chance to observe the elk. The big fellow
had a magnificent pair of antlers, 13
points on one and 11 points on the other,
in the velvet. The other bucks were
large but they looked like pigmies by the
side of the big fellow.
Jim had left his gun, a 30-30, on the
trail, or else he says the temptation to
kill the granddaddy of all the elks would
have been irresistible.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM IS TO BE
REPLICA OF NEBRASKA, TONED DOWN
This Is Report From Denver, Following Arrival of Norman. E. Mack. After
Conference With Bryan The Nebraska Platform.
ACCORDING to dispatches received
last night from Denver the draft of
the Democratic platform, brought to. Den
ver, written by William Jennings Bryan,
Is In the main the platform adopted by
the Democratic state convention in
Omaha, March 5. Mr. Bryan has toned it
down a little, but It stands in the main.
The Nebraska platform Is as follows:
We. the representatives of the Democracy of
Nebraska, in delegate convention assem
bled, reaffirm our faith in and pledge our
loyalty to the principles of our party.
We rejoice at the increasing signs of an
awakening in the United States. The vari
ous investigations have traced graft and
political corruption to the representatives
of predatory wealth and laid bare the un
scrupulous methods by which they have
debauched elections and preyed upon a
defenseless public through the subservient
officials whom they have raised to place
and power.
The conscience of "the Nation is now aroused
and will, if honestly appealed to, free the
Government from the grip' of those who
have made It a business asset of the favor
seeking corporations; it must become
again 'a government of the people, by
the people and for the people." and be ad
ministered In all its deportments accord
ing to the Jeffersonlan maxim "Equal
rights to ail and special privileges to
none."
This is the overshadowing issue at this
time; it manifests Itself in all the ques
tions now under discussion and demands
Immediate) consideration.
CAMPAIGX FCNIS.
We heartily approve of the laws prohibiting
the pass and the rebate, and Insist upon
further legislation, state and National,
making it unlawful for any corporation
to contribute to campaign funds and pro
viding for publication, before the election,
of all Individual contributions above a
reasonable minimum.
STATE RIGHTS.
Believing with Jefferson In "the support of
the state governments in all their rights
as the most competent administration for
our domestic concerns and the surest bul
wark against anti-republican tendencies,"
and in "the preservation of the general
Government in its whole constitutional
vigor as the sheet anchor of our peace at
home and abroad," we are opposed to the
centralization implied in the suggestions
now frequently made, that the powers
of the general Government should be ex
tended by judicial construction. While
we favor the exercise by the general Gov
ernment of all its constitutional authority
for the prevention of monopoly and for
the regulation of interstate commerce, we
insist that Federal remedies shall be
added to and not substituted for state
remedies.
CORPORATIONS.
We Insist upon recognition of the distinc
tion between the natural man and the
artificial person, called a corporation, and
we favor the enactment of such law as
' may be' necessary to compel foreign cor
porations to submit their legal disputes
to the courts of the states in which they
do business, and thus place themselves
upon the same footing as domestic coiv.
porauons.
ELECTION OF SENATORS.
We favor the election of United 8tates Sen
ators by direct vote of the people and re
gard the- reform as the gateway to all
other National reforms.
MONOPOLIES.
A private monopoly Is Indefensible and In
tolerable. -Wo therefore favor the vigor
ous enforcement of the cr imlnal law
against trusts and trust magnates, and de
mand the enactment of such additional
legislation as may be necessary to make
It Impossible for a private monopoly to
exist in the United States. Among the
additional remedies we specify three.
First. A law preventing the duplication of
directors among competing corporations;
Second. A license system which will, with
out abridging the right of each state to
create corporations or its right to regu
late as it will foreign corporations doing
business within its limits, make it neces
sary for a manufacturing or trading cor
poration engaged In interstate commerce
to take ' out a Federal license before it
shall be permitted to control as much as
25 per cent of the product In which it
deals; the license to protect the public
from watered stock and to prohibit the
control of such corporation of more than
50 per cent of the total amount of any
product consumed in the United States.
Third A law compelling such licensed cor
poration to sell to all purchasers in all
parts of the country on the eame terms,
after making due allowance for cost of
transportation.
. TARIFF.
We welcome the belated promise of tariff
reform now offered by a part of the Re
publican party as a tardy recognition of
the righteousness of the Democ ratio po
sition on this question, but the people can
not safely intrust the execution of this
important work to a party which Is so
obligated to the highly protected Interests
that it postpones relief until after the
election. And we call attention to the
significant fact that the promts now
made by those Republicans who favor
tariff revision Is wholly vitiated by the
use of the very qualifying words under
which the preaent tariff Iniquities have
grown up.
We favor an immediate revision of the
tariff by the reduction of import duttes.
Articles entering into competition with
articles controlled by trusts should be
placed upon the free list; material reduc
tions should be made in the tariff on ne
cessities of life, and reductions should be
made on such other schedules as may be
necessary to restore the tariff to a reve
nue basia
INCOME TAX.
We favor an Income tax as part of our
revenue system, and we urge the submis
sion of a constitutional amendment spe
cifically authorising Congress to levy and
collect a tax upon individual and corpor
ation Incomes, to the and that wealth
may bear its proportionate share of the
burdens of the Federal Government.
INHERITANCE TAX.
We favor a National inheritance tax to
reach ,the "swollen fortunes" already in
existence, but we believe that it Is bet
ter to permapently prevent "swollen for
tunes" by abolishing the privileges and
favoritism upon which they are based.
ARID LAND RECLAMATION.
We sympathize with the efforts put forth
for the reclamation of the arid lands of
the West, end urge the largest possible
use of irrigation in the development of
the country. We also favor the reclama
tion of swamp lands upon the same prin
ciples. 'We favor the preservation of the
forests still remaining and the replanting
of the denuded districts in all our moun
tain ranges as well as the forestation of
the Western plains.
WATERWAYS.
We urge liberal appropriations for the im
provement and development of the In
terior waterways believing that such ex
penditures will return a large dividend in
lessened cost of transportation. We favor
a generous pension policy, both as a mat
ter of Justice to the surviving veterans
and their dependents and because It re
lieves the country of the necessity of
maintaining a large standing army.
PANAMA CANAL,
We believe that the Panama Canal will
prove of great value to our country and
favor its speedy completion.
IMPERIALISM.
We condemn the experiments in imperial
ism as an inexcusable blunder which has
Involved us in an enormous expense,
- brought us weakness Instead of strength
and laid our Nation open to the charge
of abandoning the fundamental doctiine
of self -goverr merit.
We favor an immediate declaration of the
Nation's purpose to recognize the inde
pendence of the Philippine Islands as
soon as stable government can be estab
lished, such Independence to be guarded
by us as we guard the independence of
Cuba, until the neutralization of the isl
ands can be secured by treaty with other
powers. In recognizing the Independence
of the Philippines our Government should
retain such land as may be necessary
for coaling, and naval bases.
ARBITRATION.
Desiring the prevention of war wherever
possible, we believe that our Nation
should announce its determination not to
use our Navy for the collection of pri
vate debts, and its willingness, to enter
into agreement with other nations pro
viding for the investigation by an im
partial International tribunal before any
- declaration of war or commencement of
hostilities of every dispute which defies
diplomatic settlement.
STATE RIGHTS.
We assert the right of Congress to exercise
complete control over Interstate commerce,
and we assert the right of each state to
exercise just as complete control over
commerce within its borders.
We demand such an enlargement of powers
of National and State Railway Commis
sions, as may be necessary to give full
protection to persons and placed from
discrimination and extortion. We believe
. that both the Nation and the various
states should, first, ascertain the present
value of the railroads, measured by the
cost of reproduction; second, prohibit the
issue of any more watered stock or fic
titious capitalization; third, prohibit the
railroads from engaging in anv business
which brings them into competition with
their shippers; and, fourth, reduce trans
portation rates until they reach a point
where they will yield only a reasonable
return on the present alue of the roads

WHY WE CURE where others fail: Our methods are up to date. We thoroughly understand our busi

a case unless we believe we can cure it. We study the peculiar nature of every individual case and treat
the causes, not symptoms. We teach our patients how to help get well what to eat and drink during the
course of treatment and what to avoid. As to terms: Our large practice enables us to cure for less money
than the average so-called specialists and you see the results before you are required to pay us. Honest,
conscientious work speaks for itself. Pretenders, jealous of our success, try to belittle us because our fee is
small, but intelligent men are not influenced by their arguments. We ask any man suffering from any disease
we treat to call and see us. Many cases supposedly incurable are often the result of poor treatment, and the
case is cured when methods such as we employ are directed toward the cause, and with care and proper at
tention to your case now your health may be prolonged indefinitely. This alone should be incentive enough to
induce you to try once more, no matter who has failed to cure you in the past.
