Hopes to Put Beavers In First
Place After Return
North.
WILL HAVE NEW TWIRLERS
Slugger Johnson Has Opened Eyes
of Fans In San Francisco.
Latest Sewi of Roped
Arena.
BY HARRT-B. SMITH.
SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. S.-(Spe-tt&l
) From what he says, Walter ilc
Credie Is evidently planning great things
when he returns home for his last five
weeks on the Vaughn-street grounds. The
Portland manager figures that if he is
going to win the pennant rag, the trick
will have to be turned on the home
grounds and as he Is anticipating a
series of double-headers in order to have
all of his postponed dates filled out, he
wants some extra men on the force. He
feels, most of all. that he needs pitchers
and said the other day that he would go
home with four or five new twlrlers
readv to work.' One of these men, Pat
rick "of the Central League, the Portland
fans' ha already heard about, while the
other a chap named. Boss, who pitches
left handed with Austin, Tex., will re
port at Los Angeles and may have a
chance to pitch a game this coming week.
As to the others if McCredie has them
i mind, he is not ready to give out any
names.
Boston Scout Wants Beavers.
Hugh MeBreen. the business agent of
th Boston Americans, a polite name for
a baseball scout, arrived here the first of
the week and will look over the talent at
Kecretion Park. MeBreen comes par
ticularly, so the story goes, to talk busi
ness with McCredie. He is very anxious
It appears to get hold of Catcher Mad
den, who was traded to the Portland
club in the Spring and also thinks very
highly of Bobby Groom. McCredie thinks
also that MeBreen wants to reopen the
Henderson case, but the Portland man
ager declares positively that there is
absolutely no chance for Henderson to
bo reinstated; that he Jumped fully un
derstanding what he was about and that
he must suffer the consequences.
"The onlv player on whom there Is an
option Is Raftery." said McCredie to the
writer. 'Cleveland holds that option and
has until August 22 in which to take
It up or let him go. I haven't any doubt
but that Raftery will be held by Cleve
land. It looks now as If I would Eave
most of my other men and I am per
fectly willing to do so. as it Is no easy
task to build up a ball club. Pinnance
will not te back with us this year. I
had a letter from him the other day in
which he said that he must remain longer
on his homestead than he originally ex
pected. He asked me if he could pitch
for Flint in the Michigan League the
balance of the season and as 1 haven't
much use for him. I told him to go ahead.
"Ed Kennedy, who Is now playing with
Fresno, wrote me the other day and said
he wished he was out of there. He said
the State League was not doing very
well and that it was too hot in Fresno.
Kennedy wanted to leave me In the
Spring because he didn't like to play a
utility role. If he was with me now, he
wouldn't be playing utility. I released
him all right, as he had always treated
me right, but he promised me that if I
wanted him in the Spring, he would be
ready to go on the Job."
Johnson Great Slugger.
If the Portland fans could have seen
Ote Johnson in action last Wednesday, it
would have done their hearts good. Be
cause he thought that Basse-y was slump
ing. McCredie put ltyan in left and played
Johnson back at third, from which posi
tion he has been absent so long. The big
Pwede was in his glory. Of course you
ha-e read all about what happened, but
that first home-run scored three tallies
mi the second came when he started an
inning. His single also helped in the run
getting and his double scored three more.
And what is more, the Beavers needed
most of those tallies to win the game.
If Johnson Is going to hit the ball like
that, McCredie would do well to keep
him permanently stationed at third, as he
will be able to break up many a game
of ball for the prospective champions.
Dutch Altman, erstwhile Oakland in
fielder. ts by this timo on his way to
Spokane, having been resold to that club
ty the Oakland management. Spokane, it
Appears, got into a hole and offered more
than the Commuters originally gave for
him. Van Haltren didn't think any too
much of Altman and the club Jumped
at the offer. Ash Houston, the Portland
boy. Is to be given a chance to play
around second for the Oaks and whether
he makes good to the entire satisfaction
of the management or not, he is very
apt to be retained for next season, in
case he shows anything at all.
Xew Pitcher for Oakland.
Oakland, by the way, has a new pitcher
on the road. His name is Loctenbach
rcd he hails from the Ohio and Pennsyl
vania league. He is said to be en route
to California. Dellar, the Taeoma star,
who has been having sorry luck this year
In the Coast league, has een laid off
until such time as he can deliver the
goods. In the meantime, Dellar is not
drawing a salary. He is Inclined to be
sore at this action, declaring that he
should either be given his release or al
lowed to draw his salary-
The fight game is quieter at the present
time than it has been for some months.
It Is true that there aro several matches
In eight, but they are some ways off and
the fans are taking a needed rest.
Attell and Moran Differ.
There was something of a flurry the
first of the week when Abe Attell and
Owen Moran came together for the pur
pose of selecting a referee for their Labor
Day fight. Differences developed very
speedily between the pair and It looks
very much at the present time as If the
match will be called off, and one between
Moran and Eddi9 Hanlon substituted.
When Jeffries positively refused to act
as referee. Attell declared that Jack
Welsh and none other must be the man.
Moran demurred, declaring that he ought
to say. Then he named Billy Roche, Ed
die Smith and Phil Wand, anyone of
whom, he told Attell, would be satisfac
tory. Attell was still firm for Welsh and
as a result the argument was postponed
until next Wednesday night. Coffroth,
the promoter, has Issued an ultimatum
that if the boys do not name the referee
at that time, he will declare the bout off
and give Eddie Hanlon a fight.
To those on the inside, it looks very
much as if Attell Is willing to slide out of
this match, preferring suckers to a tough
nut like Moran. At all events, you can
write your own ticket, if you think that
match will be made.
Gans Still at Harbin.
Joe Gans. who fights Battling Nelson
at the Mission-street arena on Admission
day. is ailll located at Harbin Sorinas.
He will do much of his early training
there and will not return to San Fran
cisco until August IT. He will train this
time at Croll's gardens in Alameda and
will have .Molly McDouald as his chief of
staff.
The Dane is still in the East but should
report here about the middle of the
month, so that the preliminary publicity
that always attends such a fight can be
started.
Kelly Makes Good Fight.
For the little over two rounds that he
lasted against Ketchel. Hugo Kelly, of
Chicago, gave the favorite betters an
awful fright at the Coliseum the other
night. " It looked to the experts ars if he
had a mighty good chance to win and
then he became careless, left his Jaw
Invitingly open and the inevitable re
sulted. Ketchel shifted with his right
and pumped a left straight to the Jaw.
I have never seen a harder punch deliv
ered It bounced Ketchel back and hit
Kelly so hard that the Italian first struck
on his back and then hit his head on
the canvass. He tried to get up all right,
but didn't have a chance and practically
collapsed, being carried to his corner
after the count was completed.
As a fight it was well wortn watching,
but financially, it was a "disappointment
to the fighters and the promoter. The
receipts were exactly J6SS0. Ketchers end
was something more than C400, while Kel
lv the defeated, took 11300 and in addi
tion was allowed 1500 for training ex
penses. Kelly and his trainer left almost
Immediately for Chicago.
Ketchel's next fight will be when he
meets Joe Thomas In this city Tuesday
night, August 18, et catch weights. He
has already had three fights with Thomas,
although the latter claimed that on each
occasion It was the low weight required
that hampered htm. The first time was
In Marvsville, when the 20-round contest
was called a draw. Then in a 46-round
fight, Ketchel knocked Thomas out in
the 32d round and in their last battlo
Ketchel won a 20-round decision.
After the Thomas fight, Ketchel is
scheduled to fight Bitty Papke 25 rounds
before the Jeffries Athletic Club in Los
Angeles on Labor day. This will be for
the middleweight title, which Ketchel now
holds without dispute, after his successive
victories over Jack'Twin Sullivan, Papke
and more recently Hugo Kelly.
Harness Meeting at Oakland.
the first time in a number of
l A t.a ViBlrt
For
rears, a harness metuu
in the near vicinity of San Francisco,
a four days' meeting being scheduled
for the Emeryville track, running from
August 12 to 15 Inclusive. Originally
the meeting was scheduled for eight
days, but owing to tha sickness of
Ben Benjamin, who was in charge. It
was found necessary to curtail the
affair. The same races will be held,
however, as there will be four a day.
Instead of two, as was the original
intention. '
The pick of the California pacers
and trotters will be In attendance.
Among the most noted will be the well
known Sir John S., who was beaten
recently at Santa Rose by Mona Wilkes
when that game little mare made a
new California pacing record. Frank
Kilpatriok. a millionaire breeder and
owner, has assumed the management
of the meeting, and everything possible
will be done to see that It is a success.
Will Insure Football Players.
What do you think of football play
ers having themselves Insured against
accidents on the football field? It cer
tainly Is a novel idea, so far as the
West is concerned, but it will be tried
this year bv the Barbarians, a club
that was formed some time ago to pro
mote the Rugby game and give the
college men a " chance for outside
matches. At a recent meeting of the
club, the president was instructed to
secure rates from the insurance com
panies and have the active players fully
protected. This was done because so
many of the members are married and
need some protection for their families
In case they are so Injured that they
cannot keep up their business.
CANADIANS DEFEND ENGLISH
Saya American Protests Trivial and
Earned Contempt of People.
MONTREAL Aug. 8. The Canadian
Olympic team was met by a crowd of
admirers on Its return from England
last night. The athletes were escorted
through the streets to the Montreal
Athletic Club amid cheers and plaudits.
J. H. Crocker, manager of the team,
sides with the English athletes and
officials in the dispute with the Amer
ican team. He said:
"Starting with the hole-digging Inci
dent for the polevault and finishing' up
with the foul of the 400-meter race, the
Americans made themselves thoroughly
disliked by other competitors and de
spised by the officials and the English
people. Most of their protests were of
the most trivial nature. They had gone
Into the tug-of-war as an afterthought
more than anything else, and expected
with their weight men to win."
Japan to Stop Bookmaklng.
TOKIO, Aug. 8. The government Is In
vestigating the nature of the bcttln at
the various race meetings, and - if It is
found to injure social order In any way
it will be strictly prohibited. The Toklo
paper adds that Baron K. Oura, the new
Minister for Agriculture and Commerce,
was always against betting, the nature
of which was gambling, and should be
dealt with under the penal code. Vis

was recently in Toklo that betting should
be prohibited.

Effort on Foot to Induce Mc
Credies to Join North

SLIM CHANCE OF SUCCESS
Management of Local Team Is Loyal
to Coasters, Although Eight
Club League Would Re-
ceive Its Support. .
BT W. J. PET RAIN.
The Paciflo. Northwest League is about
to make a determined effort to convince
Judge W. W. McCredie. and his nephew.
Manager Walter H. McCredie. of what
they choose to term the folly of the Port
land club continuing its affiliation with
the Paciflo Coast League. Similar efforts
have been made ever since the Paciflo
Coast League was organlxed. . So far
they have proved unavailing, and will
prove equally fruitless on this occasion,
according to an opinion recently ex
pressed by the owner of the Portland
club. "
Despite the obstacles to be encountered
In the opening of their negotiations, two
and probably three prominent club owners
of the Lucas-Dugdale circuit will be in
Portland this week, and will use all of
the arguments at their command to con
vince the McCredles that a circuit com
posed of Portland, Seattle. Taeoma, Spo
kane, Vancouver, B. C. and Aberdeen
Is the logical organization for this sec
tion of the country. '
League Is Not Paying.
The reason for the activity displayed
by the Northwest leaguers regarding
Portland is that the league, as it is at
present comprised, is not a money maker.
Aside from Seattle, and possibly Van
couver, none of the towns have been
able to keep more than a few dollars on
the right side of the ledger, . while two
of the teams have proven losing proposi
tions. As one of the club owners re
cently said to the writer, the Northwest
League is a dead one without Portland.
While the magnates will not express
themselves directly as to the methods to
be brought to bear to induce the Mc
Credles to desert the Pacific Coast League
It Is hinted that Portland can have any
thing she wants, including the presidency
of the league, the selection .of the um
pires and almost continuous baseball if
she will only toss Qff the California yoke,
as they call it tn Seattle, and affiliate
with the Northwest circuit.
On the way to Portland from Seattle
last Wednesday night a prominent fan
of Taeoma expressed himself as follows:
"The Northwest League is a dead prop
osition without Portland, for Seattle la
the only big town In the league and Is
hooked up so strongly with Dugdale that
it is of hardly any benefit to the other
clubs. You see Dug is a sort of a dic
tator and hands the rest of the towns
whatever he chooses, and the official
head of the league, Lucas, Is nothing
more or less than Dug's man Friday.
Whatever Dug says goes without question
with Lucas, and therefore, the Seattle
fat man get all the financial benefit while
.the rest of the clubs are forced to ac
quiesce or go without baseball.
6entlment of Taeoma Fan.
"I cannot understand why Portland
continues to adhere to the California end
of the circuit. Portland belongs to the
Northwest. It is a part of that terri
tory and a large factor In the commercial
activity of this section of the country.
Why, then, should Portland refuse to
affiliate with the other cities and towns
in this district? If Portland were to
Join the Northwest League I feel assured
that any demands the McCredles might
make would be gladly allowed. Port
land can have the great majority of the
games during the season. In fact I am
conversant enough with the situation In
Spokane, Taeoma and Vancouver to be
able to say that each of those places
would be satisfied to take from eight to
ten weeks or less of baseball during the
season and allow Portland the balance.
Just to have that town in the circuit."
One of the representatives of the North
west League who will be In Portland Is
George M. Schreeder, of Taeoma, and
owner of that franchise in the Lucas
league. As far as Schreeder is concerned,
he does not care whether Portland is
represented In the Northwest League or
whether Taeoma affiliates with the Pa
ciflo Coast League, and will labor earnest
ly In either direction. In referring to the
baseball situation of the Northwest in
a conversation with the writer last Wed
nesday Mr. Schreeder said:
Team-Owner Wants Change.
"The Northwest League in its present
form Is a losing proposition for the most
of us, and personally I favor an organiza
tion with Portland combined In the
league. From a standpoint of profit a
Northwest League comprised of Port-

rrf .TV:;- - Jf -
HOW DO YOU LIKE MY NEW
land, Seattle, Taeoma. Spokane, Aber
deen and Vancouver would prove the best
money getter, and that Is the circuit that
looks best to me. However, if the Pa
cific Coast League wins its fight for Se
attle I shall be ready to place a.team in
that circuit.
"I look at this baseball matter purely
in a business way. With a Northwest
League we can furnish just as classy
baseball as can the Pacific Coast League,
and yet with a compact circuit it should
prove much more of a financial success
than is either of the leagues today. I
have been informed that the greatest
objection to the Northwest League n
Portland is that the League is only
Class B, while the Pacific Coast League
is Class A. .
"Wrhy should we not be able to demand
a Class A rating Just the same as Cali
fornia? With a city like Portland added
to our circuit, we could demand Clasp A
ball and compel recognition as Buch at
the hands of the National association.
As I own my baseball park and It is
centrally located I am naturally inter
ested in a paying circuit. If the North
west attempts to continue Us present
circuit for another year I shall retire
from the game and cut my park up into
building lots."
The arguments advanced in favor of the
Northwest League are to be placed be
fore the McCredles in the strongest man
ner possible, and the representatives of
the Lucas League are to begin working
on the Portland magnates immediately
with a view of weaning them away be
fore the meeting of the National Asso
ciation of Professional Baseball Leg"ff
convenes at New York in the late tall.
Judge McCredle's policy regarding base
ball is well known, for he has frequently
declared that he would not consider a
proposition whereby the abandonment
of the California towns was to be con
sidered. For this reason It would seem
that the Northwest League officials who
are coming to Portland will have their
work cut out for them. Judge McCredie
is a firm believer in an all Pacific Coast
League and would lend his support to
the promotion of a league to include
teams from Vancouver, B. C, to Los
Angeles.
Favors All-Coast League.
If the Pacific Coast League officials
can show where Los Angeles is entitled
to continuous baseball, while Portland
is not even considered or asked to bid
on the propostion, they will do a great
deal more than the loyal Portland fans
think they can. This favoring of Los
Angeles, if it is thought about, would
seem like a discrimination agatnBt Port
land, and it is Just possible that the
Portland fans would resent any such
policy. The California magnates who are
playing the Dugdale grab-all act should
realize that Portland is the best base
hall city on the Pacific Coast.

WAGNER THE GREAT
Veteran Hans Ballplayer
Class by Himself.
in
IS BETTER NOW THAN EVER
nttsburg's Wonderful Shortstop la
Playing Best Fielding Game In
His Career and Batting
in rsual Form.
All In
a class by himself Is Hans
the crack shortstop of the
Wagner
Pittsburg basebal team. Players come
and players go. but Hans evidently goes
on forever. The great old veteran Is
playing better ball this year than ever
before. Like old Cy Toung, the ven
erable Boston twlrler. age seems to
have no terrors for the peerless In
fielder. It has been his phenomenal
work in the season so far that has
put Pittsburg in a commanding posi
tion for the National League pennant
this year. Not only has Wagner estab
lished an unprecedented record as a
champion batsman, but he is a fielder
of exceptional ability.
Plays that the ordinary shortstop
would not think of attempting, the
great German effects with such mar
velous ease that they really appear
easy for him. More than a month ago
Wagner made his two-thousandth hit
in the National League, a record
which no one has anywhere near ap
proached. Slnee 1900 he has led the
National League hitters five years, and
during that time had a grand average
of a trifle better than .313.
Hans Wagner 13 one of the most un
assuming players the game ever de
veloped. There is nothing "chesty" or
vain about his bearing, either on or off
the field. He has always a word of
encouragement for the young player
and never "knocks" a rival. It is this
disposition that has earned him the
undying respect of his team mates and
the baseball world in general. No one
Is more popular in New York City
than Wagner. And this, despite the
fact that more than any other man, or
team for that matter, he is feared at
the Polo Grounds. At least 50 per cent
of the defeats of the Giants by the
Pirates may be laid at the door of the
best shortstop of them all.
"The main thing in batting," said
Wagner the other day, "Is confidence.
Show me a man who has plenty of
nerve, good eyesight and ambition and
I will show you a hitter. I don't be
lieve a great deal in those old familiar
gags that batters are born, not made.
It stands to reason that a man can
learn to time a ball from the pitcher's
box better than he can learn to judge
a fly, say In the outfield. Just a a
fielder lays' for his batter, so should
a batsman 'lay' for the pitcher."
An ounce of horse sense Judicious
ly applied will often help a hitter a
great deal. He must be quick to else
up his situations and versatile in
switching tactics. Baseball Is no more
nor less than a matching of wits. The
one who can always spring the unex
pected is the one who always or near
ly always come off first.
It is this marked versatility of the
big Pittsburg shortstop that has made
him also one of the craftiest base run
ners in the country. No one ever
knows what he 1b next going to do.
Naturally Wagner is" awkward of
build. He covers the ground in lum
bering style. Is bow-legged, and any
thing but speedy looking. He will tell
you that as a boy he was anything but
agile. His phenomenal speed he has
developed. He is still developing It.
For Wagner Is a hard worker. He
never lets good enough alone. He
firmly believes that there Is no such
thing as perfection, and works out all
Summer long even harder than the re
cruits who are Just trying- to break
in.- Physically he is a giant, but such
only because he refuses to give ground
to physical ailment. Wagner has been
subject for several years now to
rheumatism. Less willful players
would have toadied to' their affliction.
But not Wagner.
"I fully intended to lay off and rest
ELECTRIC
STUDEBAKER
this year," said Wagner, "but . I
couldn't bring myself to do It when
the boys kept urging me to come back.
I think a long rest would probably do
me a world of good. If we win the
pennant I may knock off next year.
I'm not saying that I will, because I
got in kind o' bad with the public
over my weakening resolve this year.
"I have had a long siege on the dia
mond, and realize that I'm not as
young as I used to be. I feel just
about as nimble as ever, but know
that the strain will sooner or later tell.
I like the game, and unless I rest up
some the next year or so It may take
all the starch out of me. I want to
play ball for ten years yet. I'd be lost
off the diamond."

SEATTLE DATES
OPEXIXG OF HORSE SHOW SET
FOR SEPTEMBER 2.
Evening Exhibitions Will Be Given,
Contrary to First Plans
for Event.
The date of the Seattle Horse Show
has been changed and. evening exhibitions
will be included In the programme in
stead of matinees only, as was the
original plan. The dates decided upon are
September 2, 3 and 4, instead of the first
five days of that month as previously an
nounced. The evening exhibitions are
much in favor and society has won out
over horseowners, the latter feeling that
their animals could be shown to much
better advantage in daylight. There was
no serious objection to the change, how
over, and everyone is much pleased. This
will put the Seattle show nearly six weeks
In advance of the Portland event, with
the Spokane show intervening.
Many Portland parties are being formed
to attend the Seattle show and the Port
land entries will also be numerous. While
positive announcements cannot be made
until the classification lists are received
here. It is known that several of the
crack carriage pairs and hunters owned
locally will go to the Sound City hoping
to bring home ribbons.
It has been positively announced that
the Considlne sale will be held August 14,
and prospective buyers from Portland
should be on hand if they wish to secure
any of these exceptionally fine pairs and
equipment for which Mr. Considlne is
noted.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8. Manager
Frank Chance, of the Chicago Cubs

livery, but until his recent visit to:
Buffalo to watch the work of Pitcher
McConnell of the Bisons he has never
actively opposed It.
There are several reasons advanced
by Chance for prohibiting the use if
the Btyle of delivery. It Is hard on
catchers, injuring their hands, it causes
fielders to muke many wild throws, it
is repulsive to the view of spectators,
and its abolition would undoubtedly
do much to increase batting. A few
pitchers would, of course, be prac
tically put out of the game, but oil
clubs would be reduced on the samn
level of depending on science and not
saliva for victories.
At Buffalo, Chance found three
catchers more or less Injured through
the use of this form of delivery. Mc
Connell Is entirely a "spltballer" and
during the game the fielders had to
lose tim in handling the ball by wip
ing it off every time before they threw
It, fearing to make costly errors.
Although McConnell pitched a game
winning by a 2-to-3 score. Chance re
fused to negotiate for him, solely be
cause he relies on the "spltball" for
his successes.
