MAY BE APPEASED
Baseball Magnates Hold Con
ferences Regarding Pres
ent Four-Club Circuit.
SPOKANE MAY BE ADDED
Pacific Coast League Officials Are
Xow Alive to Desires of Rose
City Enthusiasts Seattle
AVants Better Ball.
' If one Is to Judge by the activity being
I'.splayed by Judge W. W. McCredie, of
the Portland Baseball Club, and J. Cal
Ewlng. president of the Pacific Coast
League, who have been touring the
Northwest, it seems quite likely that
something is to be done to appease the
Semands of the Portland baseball fans.
Judge McCredie and Mr. Ewing have
held consultations with the baseball mo
guls of Spokane. Seattle and Tacoma,
but as far as has been definitely an
nounced, nothing yet has transpired to
indicate Just what policy will be pursued
by the magnates with a view of enlarg
ing the present four-club circuit for the
coming season. Despite the reticence of
the magnates. It can be safely stated
that some measure whereby Seattle and
Tacoma. at least, will be Incorporated in
the Pacific Coast League of the coming
year, ison the programme.
Spokane May Be Added.
It is also quite possible that some plan
whereby Spokane will be added to the
circuit is also under consideration, for
Judge McCrelie has made two trips to
Spokane so far this year, and on each
jceasion talked baseball to an extent. Still,
is far as recorded, he has not actually ad
mitted that the Falls City would be includ
ed In the Pacific Coast League.
Judge McCredie Is a most diplomatic
personage. In fact, he has all the other
Pacific Coast magnates discounted In the
great game of diplomacy. He can readily
perceive the trend of mind possessed by
the baseball patrons, and there is no
doubt of his having perceived the agita
tion against th6 California monopoly. For
that reason he would probably have op
posed the granting of continuous baseball
to the Los Angeles moguls.
At any rare, the Ptrciflc Coast League
officials have become awakened to the
desires of the Portland fans, and are now
more anxious than ever, to recover the
territory lost by the defection of Russ
Hall, and the short-sightedness of the
league officials In not taking McCredle's
advice in the Spring of 19-Yi.
Dugdale Is Stumbling-Block.
To acquire the Seattle franchise will be
no easy matter. Then there is Dugdale.
The "Fat Man" enjoys the distinction
of being the only man who ever suc
ceeded In getting something for nothing
and made a success of the undertaking.
The team he has placed in Seattle. Is
nothing, and yet he continues to get the
money. This is so simple because Se
attle possesses a large number of loyal
fans who patronixe the Dugdale park f or
the love of the game, and not because
there is anything especially attractive in
the shape of the talent representing the
home team. At present the Dugdale
bunch is enjoying a spurt, and. of course,
the scribes over there are slopping over
In their enthusiasm over the perform
ances of Dugdale-s "Splendid Team." Yet
the fact remains that this so-called splen
did team decorates the cellar, or very
close to that exalted position.
With a few victories added to the slim
Seattle string. Dug's scribes must neces
sarily become so elated that they are now
prophesying to the effect that Seattle has
a team that is capable of beating any
team In the Coast League, and without
much of an effort at that. As a matter
cf fact, Dugdale's team would stand about
as much chance with Oakland as the Yan
couver Tri-Cttv Leaguers would have with
the Detroit tigers.", hut it will be hard
to convince a Seattle scribe who has ever
been to the Ballard beach chicken ranch,
of this undeniable fact.
Seattle Wants Better Ball.
The thing that grates on the Seattle
public from a baseball point of view, and
one which Is causing the revulsion of
feeling toward Dugdale. is that Portland
enjoys class A baseball, together with a
quality of playing talent that is far su
perior to that possessed on Elliott Bay.
In addition, it is also remembered by the
Seattle fans, that Portland has the priv
ilege of drafting players from Seattle, but
It is hardly likely that anything of this
character will take place because the few
ballplayers Dug absolutely controls are
hardly fit for a brush league. The good
players on his clubs are practically the
property of the St. Paul club of the
American Association, which organiza

MR. yn MRS. I. F. POWERS IJT THEIR HEW POPE HARTFORD TOURING CAR,
The above picture shows Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Powers in their new Pope Hartford touring car. It waa taken
in front of their residence at 100 East Sixteenth street, Mrs. Powers has but lately taken up driving and
la quickly becoming familiar with handling a big car. She and Mr. Poweri recently completed p. trip
to Mount Hood and report the roada in very good condition.
. I
tion is also class A and therefore Immune
from draft by thla league.
Resuming the trend of the possible
changes on the Pacific Coast baseball map
expected during the coming Winter, the
proposition resolves Itself into contingency
whereby Portland will demand that Se
attle and Tacoma, and possibly Spokane,
shall be admitted into the Coast League,
or Portland will seek affiliation with the
Northwest League. In the latter contin
gency an entirely new organisation will
have to be perfected, W. H. Lucas given
the double skiddoo, and Dave Dugdale
muzzled to the extent of being only a
working portion of the motive power. In
stead of the controller.
Some Interesting events are to be ex
pected to develop In the baseball world
in the next few months, and Portland
being the keystone point, as well aa the
best baseball town of either circuit, will
await developments with the greatest of
merest.
Opinions of Fans.
Following are a few opinions of the
baseball fans relative to the formation
of the baseball league for next season:
One of the boys of Vancouver In
view of the proposal to have Portland
identified with the Northwest League,
no one can deny that It would be far
more satisfying to see our home team
hook up with Seattle, Tacoma and Spo
kane. The baseball fana of Vancouver,
who look upon che Portland team as
practically their home team, long to
see this arrangement brought about,
principally becauee there would be
more square umpiring. This is practi
cally Impossible when three-fourths of
the games are played on California
fields.
J. H. McNicholaa T are quite in
dependent of California, and why
should Portland kow-tow to Cal Ewlng,
who Is directly Interested in the San
Francisco and Oakland clubs? Be
sides our business Interests are allied
with the Northwestern League, and
there is where we belong. The talk
of cheapening the quality of baseball
is all bosh, for while the Northwest
League is now enjoying an inferior
quality, with Portland added to the
circuit the other clubs would be com
pelled to have better teams, and the
league could demand Class A recog
nition." Harrie Howland When the propo
sition of casting off the California end
of the league Is considered. It must be
remembered that the fans of Portland
have been educated to Class A base
ball, and unless the quality la main
tained, the venture would prove disas
trous. I think, however, that Port
land's business interests are more
closely allied with Seattle, Tacoma and
Spokane than they are with California,
and. those towns should be represented
In a Pacific Coast League.
Plea for Big League.
H. H. Pomeroy As long aa Portland
continues to receive as classy baseball
as has been our portion since tossing
off the Lucas yoke, I shall be satisfied
whether this city Is represented In a
California or a Northwest League.
Still. I believe that the most logical
circuit, and one which will command
the greatest attention In the East. Is
a Pacific Coast League extending from
Seattle to Los Angeles. It may or may
not Include Spokane, but as that town
Is a splendid baseball city I think that
the Coast League officials would be
foolish to overlook its advantages.
M. J. Roche Don't get me mixed up
In a baseball controversy. I like the
game and have been Identified actively
with it for some time. As long as the
magnates give us good games I shall
be satisfied.
Frank J. Raley Baseball Is a great
game and Is an attraction to a great
many people. On this account I be
lieve the magnates should arrange a
circuit that will accede to the wishes
of the patrons.
Pioneers to Meet in Jacksonville.
ASHLAND. Or.. Aug. 15. (Special.)
The annual reunion of the Pioneer So
ciety of Southern Oregon will be held at
Jacksonville, August 27. Arrangements

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO PORTLAND AUTOISTS
WS. GILX of the Keats' Auto
Company, has recently complet-
ed an automobile trip lntd Tilla
mook with his wife and a party of friends
composed of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Watson,
of Tillamook, and James Walton, of the
First National Bank, of Tillamook. They
spent several days fishing In the Nehalem
River and Mr. Gill says he haa nevef Been
such good fishing in his life.
The country around Tillamook Is soma
of the prettiest in Oregon and the trip
there by automobile la bound to become a
very popular one as great progress la
being made with the roads and a great
amount o" money haa already been ex
pended upon them. When this work has
progressed a littla further and the plank
road which covers about 2i miles has been
replaced by a fine macadam, there will
not bo a more delightful trip anywhere.
Tillamook Is an enterprising town and the
country around it Is very rich and by
another year when the roads are Improved
the automobile la bound to be the mode of
travel in and out of there.
Probably one of the best women driven
In the country is Mrs. A. Cuneo. of Brook-

Taximeter cabs are fast coming Into
this country and in a very few yeara It Is
doubtful If there will be many horse
drawn public vehicles left in the large
cities. New York already haa 600 auto
cabs and many more ordered. In Paris
the horses are In a great minority and it
seems now that such will be the case in
New York within the next two years. The
cabs are owned by large companies and
stand in front of the principal hotels and
restaurants. They can easily be distin
guished from the ordinary auto, being
painted either a bright red or blue and
having placed in a prominent place on
the dash a meter which indicates the
distance traveled. Customers are charged
a stated sum per mile, and at the end of
each mile the fare Is rung up so that by
looking at the dial one can tell Just what
the total fare is at any time.

The first of the Vanderbllb cup racers to
be completed for this year's race on Oc
tober 24 Is the six-cylinder Chadwick. The
engine is 6-inch bore and 6-lnch stroke
and the wheel base is 112 Inches. The
transmission has 4 speeds forward and
one reverse and is geared 1.7 to 1 on the
high gear, making a high rate of speed
possible, probably to exceed 100 miles an
hour. The race as usual will be held on
Long Island and is assured of being the
greatest race yet held on account of the
Interest being displayed by manufactur
ers both in this country and abroad. The
roads are already being repaired and it is
predicted that a new speed record will be
made this year.

GOOD CHEER FOR PESSIMISTS
Automobile Industry Has Bright
Prospects, Says Cadillac Man.
"It would please us immensely," says
H. M. Leland, general manager of the
Cadillac Motor-Car Company, of Detroit,
Mich., in a recent interview, "If we could
hold a little convention in our plant of
all those pessimists who were downcast
six or eight months ago concerning the
vitality cf the automobile Industry.
"It is true that there was at that time
some warrant In passing conditions for a
slight feeling of skepticism as to the
future conditions by tho way which were
entirely artificial and due to disturbing
causes which did not have their source in
the industry itself.
"The situation has been so completely

and overwhelmingly reversed, however,
and the public is manifesting such an im
mense amouqt of interest In the im
mediate future of the automobile, that It
is actually a source of amusement to re
call the pessimism of a year ago.
"We refer particularly In mentioning
this subject to the actually astounding
flood of inquiries which have followed
our two announcements concerning the
product of a new big and powerful four
cycle Cadillac car, to be sold at a popular
price.
"We have had many years experlenca
in advertising; and have always been en
thusiastic on the subject of its potency;
but our firmest faith in printers Ink has
never led us to hope for such a universal
indication of Interest aa we are receiving
at the present time.
"You would naturally suppose that if
there was anything wrong with the In
dustry; or wrong with the country at
large; that the automobile would be the
first to experience a reflex action on the
part of the public. The extreme con
trary is the truth. Had we been an
nouncing a product which sold at an ex
ceedingly low price one that would ap
peal to the man having perhaps $500 In
the bank there might have been reason
to expect a widespread response.
"But our new car is one which sells at
$1400 an amazingly low price, of course,
considering the size, power and luxurlous
ness of the machine; but still a price
which can only interest people who ara
in a fairly prosperous condition.
"When we say to you that the in
quiries have come to us by the thousand,
there is no exaggeration whatever In that
statement. We have not only been be
sieged by mail by people who have never
owned an automobile before; but have
had an equal number of inquiries from
people who have owned other automo
biles; and have had' hundreds of per
sonal calls from the same class of peo
ple, aa well es from agents eager to
secure a portion of our output of 10,000
cars."
