RAV FTlANCISOO. Jan. I. (Special.)
Contdertns; all the talk tn:.t preceded
the adjourned annual meeting- of the
Coast Leairuers last week. It wu a par
ticularly quiet affair. Nothing hap
penedat leat nothing that u alven
out and the aesslon resolved ltell Into
sort of love feaat.
The rumor that came out prior o
the meetln. as It wa afterward
learned, waa to the effect that Judge
Oraham was In a huff and had declared
hie Intention of reslrnln M post.
T),. whole thine- turnej out to CO
nothln more than a Joke. In which the
news detective came out second best.
A It appear he called upon Ju.Ue
Oraham to retail a little Portland Koe
lp The Judxe didn't want to hear
anythln and prohablr. to aet the young
man on ede. Intimated coyly that he
might reatg-n.
Umpire Pony Mory.
The cuatodlan of thla aecret didn't
wait to Investigate the etory or to
question Judge Oraham further, but put
Ma Information on the wire and marked
It double rush. Afterward, he enlarged
upon the yarn and gave It out that
Judge Oraham had sent In hl resigna
tion to Secretary Ixng and alao that
the Judge had told two of hla umplrea
that he waa no longer their boaa.
The umpires repudiated the yarn so
fmr M they were concerned and Lons;
eald that he did not have anr resigna
tion to be delivered over to the tllrec-
Xl"l quite true that the directors felt
that If they could aecure a president
and aecretary who could act aa general
manager of the league It would be a
good scheme. They explanled very ful
ly that they appreciated the services
of the present officers and were en
tirely satisfied with what they haj ac
complished. No one could auggeet the
name of any man to accept the com
bined position and then the old offi
cers were re-elected. Save, perhaps,
that Portland thinks Judge Oraham
dl.l not give the Beavrrs the right deal
last Kail, he hae had great aurcesa In
the chair and V. W. Lontt has made a
good secretary. Long has nothing to
say aa to the disposition of the um
pires and the assertion that because he
Is manager of the Seala he might have
rhance to help his dob does not
hold water.
Double InipJrlng Ilcjcctrd.
There will be no double umpire svs
t.m. excepting that In special cases the
president of tlie league will have au
thority to appoint helpers where they
may be needed. This means that "Hde
brand. Kinney and McOreevy will liotd
down the Jobs aa regulars and that oth
ers will be secured to help them If that
becomes necessary.
No one of the dlreclora. save Henry
Iterry. favored an Increaae In the ex
penses that would be brought about by
two umplrea for each game. The
scheme was tried last Fall and did not
better conditions. Kurther. It roust be
ram.mkered that this Is a minor league
and that money la not made as rapid'
as la the bigger organisations.
Walter Mcfredle haa gone to the
Fouth but ought to return herj the
f.rst of the week. At that time he
will discuss more fully with Nick Wil
liams plans for the Portland Class B
team and will also arrange for games
between the Peavere and the Uoston
Una with Tip O'Neill, advance scout
for John I. Taylor's teams.
MrCredle had little to say while here
f bis plans for nest season. He did
say that he did not expect any trouble
In securing the signature of Neal Ball,
the Cleveland Infleldcr. He plana to
play Ball at second base and Tommy
fheehan at thlr.l. so the position of
shortstop Is still open.
More F.spertetl of Senator.
Charlie Oraham thinks that his Sen
ators will do much better this season
than last year. He declare that he
will be stronger In the pitching line
and that he will have faster men.
-The Pacramento club would have
won a greater percentage of Its games."
ha said, "but ou? men were caught on
the bases too much. They were not
fast enough. That will be remedied
thla season and you will see a differ
eot team In the field. I have every
confidence In Joe O Rourke. who Is to
take the management of the club and
plar one of the Infield positions. I
shall not have much time to devote to
the nine, but wlU retain my Interest In
the team."
As has beea stated. Oraham la to go
into the automobile business In Sacra
mento and with his wide acquaintance
he ought to make a success of it.
Bills to do away with all forms of
betting. Including the oral betting In
vogue at Emeryville, and to stop the
boxing "name have been Introduced at
the Legislature. Senator Walker, the
man who stopped the old style of bet--
ting tnrough the Otis-Walker bin. is
the man behind the present measure.
whl-h proposes to stop any and all
bclt'ng.
Judging from the talk, the bill will
go through the Legislature without any
great trouble and It la said that the
race track people hope to knock It
out on the grounds that It limits the
personal rights of the people of the
state. If It should be upheld by the
courts. It will sound the end of the
raring game In California for good and
all.
There are two anti-fight bills. Ons
comes from an Alameda County Assem
blyman, who wants to limit boxing to
six-round matches In which no deci
sions are given. The other haa been
introduced by a Southern California So
lon, who would make It a felony for
bouts of any description to be held.
There seems to be no Una on what
the legislature will do In the way of
reforming boxing and there ia a pos
sibility that because of more Important
matters that will come up. the boxing
game will go unharmed. At least, that
Is the hope of the pugilistic fraternity.
The latter bill would also make It a
falony for anyone In the state to ar
range a match, even though the bout
should take plar In some other state.
1'nder such a measure. It would have
been possible to punish the men who
made the Jf frlrs-K.no farce, even
though the fight Itself waa pulled off
In Nevada.
Jimmy Croffroth has rereelved a dis
patch from Charlie Harvey corroborat
'. log the press dispatches that ha and
Jones have arranged for a future
Moran-Wolgast fight. Harvey says
that Jones Is to announce within two
months a date on which Wolgast will
be willing to defend his title. Coffroth
haa already announced his Intention of
bidding for the match If the prelim
inary details are arranged.
He admits that under present condi
tions it will be hardly possible to ar
range more than a JO-round bout, but
he thinks that It would be a big drawing
card and la willing to offer a good purse.
In the meantime. If Wolgsst Is willing
to fight In February. Coffroth would like
to put him on with the winner of the
Burns-Hogan boot, which takes place
here on January 17. Tom Jones said In
the Kaet the other day that Wnlgaat
would poaltlvely not fight until March,
which seroa to settle the rhnnces of
getting the Milwaukee man out here for
a match.
Palling to get' the champion. Coffroth
may go ahead In the elimination scheme
to see which Is the best California
lightweight. In which case It would oc
casion no surprise to see Lew Powell
matched with the winner of the next
bout.
Burns and Hogan Training.
Prankle Burna and "One Round" Ho
gan have already started training for
their SO-rounfl affair. Hogan Is locate!
at Billy Shannon'a place In San RaJatl.

of the facta concerning the bout In which
Hilly Papke lost 1o Dave Smith, the
Sydney middleweight. Boer t"nhol. who
arrived In San Franclaco from Australia
by the last mall boat, brought some
news, however. He didn't see the fight,
aa it took place after he left, but he
does declare that Papke waa ek-k from

Illinois Thunderbolt wss hog fat and had
not been taking the best care of hlm

two years and during that time has
picked up something like $10.000 not
bad considering that he ranks a long
way from being a champion. He says
that Cyclone Johnny Thompson is really
and truly a light heavyweight, who
scales at 10 pounds and more. When we
remember that three rears ago Thomp
son waa fighting at 133 pounds, it Is bard
to realise. .

Only Fault Is Inability to Hit and
Itt (position to Swell l"p and
I'lay to Grandstand.
CHICAGO. Jan. 14. "Baseball. Ameri
ca's National game, is becoming a mania
with the Japanese, and while there are
not as many real fans In tne Orient,
there are more genuine fanatics than In
our own country. The little brown ath
letes are taking to the game like ducks
to mater and before long they will be
playing It as well as - the Americans.
They are now remarkable fielders and
base-runnors. but they sre unable to
hit against a good pitcher. Their chief
fault, however. Is their dislre to play
to the grandstand. They will take easy
chances with one hand In order to show
off. Then, after the spectators have
applauded them, they swell up. to use
that American phrase, and can't hit the
next time they come to bat."
Thla Is a brief summary of baseball
as played In' Japan, given by Glen and
Omo Roberta, two members of the Chi
cago University team, who hava Just re
turned from the Orient after a tour of
Invasion.
"The umpire In the championship
games In Toklo was Bsrcm Mishlma. a
member of the Imperial family, and I
want to say that Baron Mishlma Is
about the best umpire that ever handled
a game In which we played," said Rob
erts. "He understands the game thor
oughly and his Judgment on balls and
strikes and base decisions was nearly
perfect- He would qualify for the Na
tional American leagues. There was sb
solutely no fault to be found with his
derisions by either side.
"When it comes to rooting, the Jsp
anese enthusiasts put it ail over the
Americans. They will banxal- or heer
a good r'ay ,nr minutes.
"The Wnseda and Kelo players are
grand fielders, fleet baso-runners. but
rather poor hitters. They will pull off
daxxllng fielding plays snd they like to
do It In order to hear the applause from
the grandstand. Then they swell up. On
the bases they will take daring chances
and they get away with them, because
we would not be looking for them. Their
pitchers are fair ard rapidly Improving."

. k
KEW VODEI, SIX-CYLIXDF.n, LOCOMOBILE.
Show held in Madison Square Garden,
beginning tomorrow morning and end
ing Saturday night, ia a comprehensive
display of commercial vehicles of dif
ferent tvpes. It occupies nearly 5000
feet of floor space In the central arena,
of the garden.
1 The exhibit will consist of five three
ton trucks and three "thirties." The
latter are shown, respectively, as a po
lice patrol, a fire squad and chemical
wagon and a light delivery. These are
comparatively new fields for tue Pack
ard "30." but in each one their introduc
tion gives promise of success.
One reason why the Packard "SO" as a
delivery wagon has been brought before
the public attention Is because of the
excellent opportunity tncre is tor re
building used Packards Into delivery
wagons, and thus obtaining high-class
commercial vehicles at low cost. Several
large users of commercial vehicles hare
done this. Marshall. Field & Company,
of Chicago, being one of the firms. The
patrol wngon exhibited Is practically the
same as those which have entirely sup
planted horses and wagons for the po
lice department of Ietrolt. The fire
wagon Is a duplicate of the ones which
are now ready for delivery to the city
of Indianapolis.
The three-ton trucks displayed do
not begin to cover the wide range of
body styles which . make the trucks
adaptable to all kinds of business and
Individual needs. All the trucks shown,
however, are Interesting types of
tracks used In every-day hauling. First
of all there la a standard chassis. Then
there Is a trurk for the Pioneer Ware
house which shows a large moving-van
body. A special builders' truck for
Wilson Adams, of New York City,
shows how trucks are equipped with
nest or loading bodies.
This arrangement is the same as
those previously built for department
store work, such as undertaken by
John Wanamaker and Kaufmann Bros.
The other two trucka are one for Wels
A Zerwlck. having an open body spe
cially made to fit the needs of brew
ers' hauling and a covered truck for
Iemuel Sears Co- which is a typl
ral Inclosed truck for general mer
chandise hauling where loads vary In
their character.
"I feel quite safo In venturing, tho
opinion." says Sales Manager Benson,
of the Cadillac Company, "thnt It will
be well along In the Summer before
the 111 output can catch up with the
demand. In our own rase, we hava
for some months been working a larger
force than ever before In our his
tory.' During December we shipped
1024 cars, as against 770 the year be
fore. Up to and including December
31 we have shipped 4280 cars of 1911
manufacture, as against S30K 1910 mod
els up to the same time last year. We
hear nothing but encouragement all
along the line, so naturally can hardly
feel otherwise than optimistic at the
outlook.

early Spring months will see a short
age of cars. It Is true that during
the early Fall montha a little unrest
was felt by some of the manufacturers,
occasioned by the public getting the
idea that there might be a general re
adjustment of prices. People, however,
have become entirely disillusioned on
that point now.

none was seriously hurt. The car re

PERFECT. SCORE MADE
PORTLAND BAI.LPLAYEU HAS
RECORD AT TExAx'S.
Pearl Casey Bowls S00 on I .oca I Al
leys and Is Awarded Handsome
Medal for Feat.
For the second time In the history of
bowling In Portland a score of 300 has
been made by an Individual bowler at
ten-pins, and this time It was accom
plished by Pearl Barnes Casey, the
popular second baseman of the Portland
champions of 1910.'
Casey rolled this perfect score at the
Saratoga alleys two weeks ago, and In
appreciation of the feat the manage
ment of the alleys caused a handsome
medal to be struck off and Friday
night this souvenir was presented to
the popular ball-tosser.
This medal, shown In the accompany
ing illustration. Is a valuable souvenir,
and the recipient was delighted when
tendered thla mark of distinction. About
four years ago a bowler named Ball
made a 300 ecore. which is the highest
mark obtainable In a regulation game
of ten-pins, and that score stood alone
intll Casey duplicated It on the new
alleys recently Installed in the base
ment of the Medical building.
Casey Is a member of one of the
teams In tho Big Four League 'and has
been among the top-notch bowlers of
that aggregation ever since the tour
nament opened several weeks ago. At
tho time Casey made the perfect score
he had just finished up a game with
two strikes, and after completing his
perfect game he made two more strikes
on his next frame, which gives him the
distinction of having bowled 16 con
secutive strikes, a bowling record of
which to be proud. Perfect-score
bowling games are as novel as were

LANG FAVORITE IN ENGLAND
Hardest Fight Was With Tommy
Burns, Say9 Australian.
Bill Lang, the . Australian heavy
weight champion, has - become a big
favorite among English sporting men.
He has been boomed by Promoter Mc
intosh on the other side to such an ex
tent that the boxfng critics have inter
viewed him at length. Lang talked of
his ring career recently in a way that
excited much interest. He was asked to
tell which was his hardest fight and
then went on In this manner:
"My second fight with Tommy Burns
In Australia was about the hardest, I
think. It went 20 rounds and Burns got
the decision. I thought I had won, but
as Mr. Mcintosh was the referee I guess
the verdict was fair enough. When I
met Jack Johnson at Sydney I was al
most new to the game and not the im
proved man I was when I met Burns
the second time.
"Johnson Is a big clever fellow and
Burns a strong resolute boxer. Johnson
of course, beat Burns cleverly. Yet I
can'f say which to me was the toughest
customer. Johnson didn't knock me out
In nine rounds, as it has been stated
He did not stop me at all. I'll admit he
was having the best of the fight, but it
waa the police who stepped into the
ring and put an end to the contest. I
was still strong on my legs and wasn't
In serloua trouble.
"When I boxed Al Kaufman in Phlla
delphia an Injured hand prevented me
from beating him. I almost had him out
in the second round and could have fin
ished him if I had been able to use my
right hand. He saved himself by clutch
ing me around the neck until the bell
rang. I was strongly advised by my
physician not to box Kaufman, but I
had been sidestepped by Ketchel and I
wanted a fight. So I had to box Kauf
man with only one hand and they said
he beat me on points. -
''The Americans treated me all right.
They fight as we do in Australia, mak
ing the men protect themselves at all
times. The fighting is always fair, but
the men must take care of themselves."
It is true that Lang had an injured
hand In the bout with Kaufman, but
eyewitnesses differ with the Austra
lian's statement that he had the Cali
fornlan -on the verge of a knockout in
the second round. Kaufman was 1n no
serious trouble at any stage of the pro
ceedings. WAGONS, $1350 UP,
