PT W. J. PETRAIN.
Kick Williams, minagir of the Port
land Colia of the Northwestern
League, U the, first team manager of
that circuit to appeal to President
Jones, newly elected chief executive, of
the Class B circuit, to straighten out
a dispute over the services of a ball
player, and Charles Doty, last year
with 'Kalamasoo, Mich, Is the per
former In dispute.
roty claims to nave signed a non
reserve contract with the Kalamasoo
club, and entered into negotiations
with the Portland cluo through "Skin"
Harris, ono of the Colt catchers of
last season, and Manaser Williams,
having secured his signature to a
Portland contract, has appealed to
Jones to have tho signing of this play
er made thorougnly leicaL
The National Association of Profes
sion Baseball Lratrues adopted a rule
two years ago making it illegal for
any club to Inner the non-reserve
clause In a contract, and Williams
now wants to know t. hether or not
rty had teen tendered his releaso at
l he end of last season. Doty says bo
was. but last year Nick signed up. and
Imported a clever young pitcher. fcMdie
Oleneke. who had been with the Adri
an club In 1M0. and this twlrler had
no sooner Impressed the blonde lesder
ot bis ability than the Adrian club
put In a claim for him and denied all
responsibility for tha claims of
Glencka to the effect that ha waa a
free agent. Tha "Nash Commlsh"
aided with the Adrian club, and
Uiencke had to return East after
having cost the Portland club consid
erable change In the matter of rail
way far and expense money to the
roast, so Nick wants Doty's status
settled before ha hss him report.
Tha Kalamasoo club haa not yet put
In a claim for Doty, but, aa hla name
appears on the r serve list of that
team. WUllama appealed to jones, ana
the latter baa written to Secretary
Farrell to ascertain tha facta of the
a'tuation. This letter to Farrell la
Jones- first epistle to that worthy
dealing with routine matters of tha
Northwestern League.
Walter McCredie leaves Portland to-
day to pick out a training camp for
hla Beavers of 111. Ihls will quite
likely be fanla Maria, tor the Beaver
leader Is aomewhat superstitious, and.
having won twe successive pennants
after having put In hla preparatory
licks- at that place, h will require
some "keen" Inducements to make a
switch. Mao will also attend tha
league meeting at Los Angeles. Janu
ary 11.
"It aeema to me that I hardly stay
In Portland long enough to get ac
quainted with my uncles," said Walter
McCredie commenting on bis prospec
tive trip. "I am on tha road a good
part of the baseball season, and after
that Is over. It is off to Cleveland and
other placea for mine, and I'm get
ting pretty tired of the game. I wish
I could settle down and stay one solid
rear right here In Portland without
having to go any farther away than
Vancouver. If the 'Judge' would only
move over to Portland 1 wouldn't bava
to go that far."
Referring to his trip which a tarts
tonight. Walter aald:
"1 will make this trip for several
reasons, among which will b for the
purpose of looking into what lomi of
:hrs 'paradises' have to offer In the
war of training facilities. I shall visit
Watsonvllle. Santa Barbara an. I Lake
Klslnore. aside from snta Maria, for
I have already eliminated the other
applications from consideration. Han
la Maria looks good to me, but I
won't be dictated to by their Chamber
of Commerce or Commercial club or
whatever they call It. for I don't like
to deal with any of those fellows
who try to tell you your own busi
ness. Billy Miles and the J.ssea
Brothers have treated me fine, and 1
hall deal with them regarding hanta
.Maria when 1 get there. 1 thick It Is
t.e best training camp of tha bunch,
at that."
The last remark br tha Reaver lead
er Is siirnincant. and coupled with the
fact that he Is superstitious, most
likely means that Santa Maria will '
eventually ba selected as the scene of
the Beavers' conditioning this season.
WalterMcCredle thinks Dave Dug
dale pulled a "bone head" stunt when
he traded Joe Seaton to Vancouver
for Boy Nlllrtt.
"Seaton appealed to me aa a much
better pitcher than waa Wlllett." said
tha Beaver leader commenting on the
trade, "and If It was up to ma I'd give
all the fellows like Wlllett on my
team to get as good a chap aa this
fceaton In exchange. Puv thinks Wll
lett Is a good utility man. but to my
mind ha ts not half as good aa Jo
steaton, who can pitch r-aseball as
well as play the other positions."
McCre-lle Imported V Uleit to tha
Pad he Coast, but the ),unt Colorado
lad did not satisfy he 1'ort.and lead
er, and he let h.m go and Vernon pick
ed him up. Willeit waa fairly suc
cessful with Hap ilosan. but, after ua
mg him a little over a year, toe Hool
ivan lea ler also let him go. and Brash
ear secured him for tn ancouver
-lub.
e e
When Jack Parry takes charg of
the rVattle rlub he wlU have to hustle
for new talent to fill up several weak
iots on the team. The former Beav
er utility man will find a fairly good
outfield waiting for hlra with Crulk-
shank and Householder aa a nucleus,
hut will have his work cut out for him
In the effort to replace Art Buea at
third, and Leard at second. Tealey
Kaymond la a good shortstop, which la
the only position now tilled acceptably
on Dug's Inner works. Barry will
also have to deal with Danny Shea,
the star catcher who la doing tha Ade
line i'attt atunt ot retiring. Jack
had better gel busy soon, or he may
find It bard work to land any good
ones.
Fielder Jones says that the new
I'nited States Association ot Baseball
Club, to "third major league" now
being organised In the East, will hsv i
no difficulty in getttng torn of the I
old timer to Jump the major and min- I
or elobe. but that the promoters of the I
league will have to have unlimited j
capital t- make tha organisation a
success.
According to th new president of
the Northwestern League tha "out
laws," aa tha Invaders are termed, will
have a losing fight on their hands for
at least Ave years, and during that
tim they will have to battle the two
big leaguea as well aa the strong Na
tional Association of Minor Leagues,
and will find tha going mighty expan
sive. Jones scouts tha Idea that many of
tha big league stars, especially tha
younger ones, will have anything to
do with the new league for tha reason
that they are being well treated In tha
major leagues and have learned
that outlaw organixationa have hith
erto been out "wild cat" ventures

Portland's status as far as the an

doubt for a time, though It Is quite
probable that dates will be awarded

next month.
At present the properties of the Port

elation, aa weil aa the representative
of the different circuits of the North
west end an effort will be made to se
cure earlier dates for Portland and
other places tn this section. Hereto
fore It has been customary to wait upon
tha formation of th Pacific Associa
tion's schedule before arranging the
dalea for this region, and It haa been
found that this policy brings tha rac
ing here somewhat late In the season,
and th meets are often handicapped by
bad weather, aa was th case In Port
land last Fall. By securing an agree
ment with the Pacific Association th
Northwestern circuit expects to enjoy
better weather conditions by holding
the meets earlier and experience a
much more profitable season.
While the affairs of the Portland Fair

clouded at present, aoma of the more
enthusiastic members are strongly ad
vising the continuation of the organi
sation and tha holding of the regular
meeting here next FalL The 110.000
trotting event Is a stellar attraction to
visiting horsemen. It ts said this event
alone is one of the biggest advertising
featurea Portland could obtain aside
from th Rose Festival or the annual

Flinging Staff.
While many of the fans are aome
what skeptical aa to the Beavers'
chances of "repeating" in 19U because
of the loss of Bill Steen and Tom Sea
ton, two of the star hurlera of last
year's team, thev forget the conditions
under which McCredie started last sea
son. Tha Beaver leader has three star
heavers to start the coming aeason, and
that Is more than can be said of last
year's club, for Seaton did not get to
going well for some time, and Ben
Henderson waa not able to play with
the Beavers for a month after the 1911
race began. Thla left Steen and Koest
ner as the only reliables for the first
month last season.
McCredie this year will have Elmer
Koestner, "Speck" Harkness, Ben Hen
derson and Fred Lamllne to start the
race, and at least three of this quartet
are known quantities, while Lamllne

warrant tha expectation of hla making
good this. With Henderson going good
and Harkness In the shape he waa last
Fall and with the reliable Koestner as
the third member of a known trio ca
pable of winning, the Beavers ought to
be able to get as good a start aa last
aeason, maybe better.

LEST WE FORGET
What Former Portias Players Are
Kvr Dotag.
No. . Jack Clynea.
N 1904 Jack Clynes, secured br Dug
dale from the Helena team of the
Pacific National League, was one of the
most promising-. ball toaser Introduced
to this circuit by the rotund helmsmen
of the Portland team that aeason.
Clynes had been playing professional
ball but two years when he Joined
"Dug's" Portland outfit, and imme
diately made good here because he was
on of the aver so few players enrolled
by Dugdale who possessed speed on
the bases. He was a good hitter and
poasessed a fine throwing arm which
he uaed frequently in flagging ambi
tious baserunnera who attempted to
score on long flies to th patch covered
by this player.
For some reason or other Clynes
commenced to slow np toward the end
of that season, and when Walter Mc
Credie usurped the reins after Dug's
banishment, Clynes was allowed to drift
elsewhere. He hooked with the Tacoma
club during an Injury to McLaughlin,
and played fairly good ball with that
team In the Fall of 1904 and early in
1S06. Later he played with Seattle, and
then drifted to the Intermountain
League.
He enjoyed several good seasons in
the Intermountain country and waa also
with Aberdeen for a time in 108 and
1909. Last season he played In th
Western Canada League, and is now
said to be an applicant for a position
as umpire tn the Northwestern circuit.

President Banm Gives Carpenter's

Baseball, First Place Among
All New Applicants.
SAN FRANCISCO. CaL. Jan. 6. (Spe
cial.) Samuel Blair (Sandow) Mertes,
a San Francisco-born boy, and a vet
eran in baseball In spite of the fact
that he is only 38 years of age, has
been appointed by President Allen T.
Baum aa the first of his new umpires
to fill out the double umpire system,
Baum had previously announced his in
tention of retaining George Hildebrand,
Eugene McGreevy and Ed Finney, and
Mertes is the first of the new appli
cants to be named.
Sam Mertes started work as a car
penter's apprentice in San Francisco
when he was 14 years of age. He
started to play bush ball, and In 1891
he was taken to Lincoln, in the West
ern Association. Later he returned to
the Coast on a Junketing trip and was
picked up by Comlskey for his St. Paul
team. Comlskey sold the outfielder to
the Philadelphia Nationals, where he
played for several years.

at the time ot the peace conference.
Mertes signed with the New York
Giants, and was a member of that team
when it won the world's series in 1905.
After Shi years with the Giants. San
dow went to St Louis, and finally to
Minneapolis and Toronto. Three years
ago he returned to San Francisco, and
after a season with Stockton in the
State League, settled down to other
business. He has been doing some um

Bowlers Are Practicing.
Practice for the Western Bowling
Congress, to be held at Los Angeles
January 16 to January 25, haa started
among the men who expect to' make
the trip. It is not yet known Just
who will compose the teams. George,
Henry, Ahrens and Arens undoubtedly
will be on some of the teama.
The plan for another Foresters' tour
nament has about fallen through, and
It la doubtful if it will b resurrected
this Winter. Flnck won the champion
ship medal put up by the league, and
he will also receive a cup from the
Saratoga Bowling Alley.
Interest here in the American Bowl
ing Congress, to be held at Chicago
March S, is slack, and it Is doubtful if
any Portland bowlers will go to the
Windy City for the bowling event. The
purses will be large and in the East
the event attracts great attention, but
In the West the interest in the Los
Angeles contest is much stronger.
RUGBY HELD DEAD ISSUE
ZEDXICK SAYS CONFERENCE
WTXTj NOT CONSIDER GAME.
Feeling Among 6tudent Too Strong
Against It Faculty Rnle Alone
Would Bring Change.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Se
attleL Jan. . (SpeciaL) Rugby foot
ball will never be considered by the
Northwest conference, and Washington
will take no steps toward establishing
the English game that California col
i.a-e. are so anxious to have replace
the National college sport." declared
Graduate-Manager Victor Zednlck, re-
centlv returned from the managers
conference at Portland. "At the meet
ing in Portland it was evident that
the possibility of adopting the Inferior
game had not been given a thought,
and when the subject -was casually
brought up there was not a man who
had anything complimentary to say of
Rugby. Why, Pullman and Idaho tried
to give It a tryout last year, and not
nnnirh men turned out at either ln-
.titntlnn tn form a team.
stiirioTit sentiment here is so great
ly in favor of the American game that
there Is no cnance ii w m.
lngton may try to coerce the other col
leges into taking up Rugby, as was
suggested by the southern schools. It
is understood that President Kane, as
well as prominent members of the fac
ulty favor straight football under the
new' rules, and personally I think the
way we play the game much superior
to the methods employed in England
and her provinces.
"When I was In Canada some time
ago I witnessed several Rugby games,
t.h while the sDort cannot be criti
cised for being tame at all. It does not
give the chance for head worn tnii
our game does. I have seen men fall
rinwn In one of their rushes down the
field, get trampled on, kicked, and one
poor fellow had his head knocked in
and was carried off the grounds, blood
streaming over his face and eyeB. There
i a certain amount of team work in
the way they keep the ball moving over
the field, but to Americans It looks like
a big, rough child's game.
"In case sentiment In favor of Rugby
is worked up, and I do not think it
will be, we can give It a tryout and
prove once and for all that it has
nothing on the present game. From
the way, however, that California is
going up into Canada and getting de
tested by little athletic clubs I would
an that the enthusiasm evidenced In
both the southern institutions was for
the purpose of deiencung tneir own
position rather than because of any
great interest taken in the game by
college men themselves.
"There is only one way by which
Rugby can be substituted for football
on the Pacific Coast, and that is by an
arbitrary faculty or presidential rul
ing, as in the case of Leland Stanford,
which was forced to take up the for
eign sport by David Starr j organ.

M'CREDIE OPPOSES
CLASSIFICATION
Portland Baseball Magnate
Sees Only One Benefit
by New Move.
RYAN LONGS FOR PORTLAND
Buddy, Writing From Wintry Den
ver, Says: "The Balmy Climate
of Portland Would Look Aw
fully Good to Me Just Now."
Walter McCredie does not fancy the
recent advance In classification of the
three leading minor leagues, for hs as
serts that the only benefit derived
therefrom will be the privilege to pay
more money for players as well " as
higher salaries to them as well. '
According to the Beaver leader, who
leaves on an extended trip through
California tonight, it is not often that
the major leagues overlook any good
players in the Western or Southern
Leagues, which comprise the only two
additional leagues from which the class
AA, organizations may use the draft,
and this is denied them in the event
that a major league club has already
selected a man.
Walter also sees the fine Italian
hand of J. Cal Ewlng In the adopted
resolution which makes It Incumbent
upon any class AA club selling a player
to a major league team to deliver the
purchased player immediately. Had
such a rule been in effect last season
Buddy Ryan, Bill Steen and Roger
Peckinpaugh would have been required
to report to Cleveland in August in
stead of finishing the season with the
Pacific Coast League. '
However, this rule Is not bothering
the Portland chieftain, for he is per
fectly willing to take a chance on the
draft, as he can lose only one man, and
last year he lost Seaton by draft, and
naturally expects to have one or more
of his players, providing he has a win
ning team, selected by the big fellows,
for he knows that only one of them
can be lost to him in this manner, and
hereafter he will get $2500 for a player
so selected, while formerly the draft
price was hardly half this sum.
If Cal Ewing thought he was putting
one over on the McCredies and their
Cleveland deal by inserting this clause
in the National agreement he was badly
fooled, for the relations maintained be
tween the McCredies and Messrs.
Somers and Barnard of Cleveland will
be maintained in the future' Just the
same. It matters little to Cleveland
whether that club has the choice of the
Beaver team before or after the draft
ing period, for McCredie will take care
that any especially desirable player
wanted by the big leaguers will be de
livered before the drafting period in
case such action Is necessary to protect
a deal with Cleveland.
, Buddy Ryan writes from his Denver
home that he wishes he waa back in
Portland again. Buddy has been on
rtia Coast so long that he Is not accus
tomed to that mile high frigidity, and
asserts that the balmy climate of Port
land would look awfully good to him
right now.
Ryan says that he is confident that
he will make good with Cleveland next
Spring, and is anxious for the opening
of the training aeason to arrive so that
he can get into harness once more and
rap the pill around the ball yards as
in the days of 1911.
"Tf you want a man who can
"smoke "em" through like Woomfield,
or catch them in the outfield like Speas.
send on your contract and I'll look it
over," is the text of a leter received
from a Spokane busher by Manager
Williams yesterday. "Can you beat
that," asserted Nick on opening the mis
sive yesterday, "why that guy thinks
he has already made good, but he'll be
mighty, lucky If he can make half as
good as either Bloomfleld or Speas on
crutches, and I guess It will be to the
waste basket for this," and he tossed
the communication carelessly from him.
Nick says he don't want any egotistical
youngsters on his club.
GAME MAT PROVE DECISIVE
Honeyman and Eschles Indoor Ag
gregations Play Today.
One of the deciding games of the in
door baseball league will be played
today at the Armory, when Honeyman
and Eschels meet If Honeyman cap
tures this game It will practically mean
the flag, as the team will then have a
four-game lead over the Eschels. The
former nine has won seven games and
lost one, while Eschels have captured
six and dropped two. The other part
of the double-header will be between
Archer-Wiggins and Marshall-Wells,
which are fighting for the cellar cham
pionship. Rupert, captain of the Eschels, will
have Felsel, his star pitcher from Al
bany, for the game, while Honeyman'a
will use Mortan or Henderson, both
strong men In the league. Mortan
fanned 1 men in four games, the most
at any time being 25. Mortan is out of
town and may not get back in time for
the game.
The Archer-Wiggins team has im
proved in playing but has little chance
for the flag. They will use Dunlap,
the star of the Eastern Indoor league,
to do the twirling for them. The Marshall-Wells
nine will use McKenzle and
Fordney.
