ALL COAST TEAMS PENNANT NNERS Each Magnate of League Says His Nine Will Be on Top or Near There. NEW BASEBALL SELECTED "Wheeler Made Umpire Portland Will Open Against Angela at Lo Angeles Schedule 'o to Bo Given Out Till Later. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 1J. (Special.) president A. T. Banm and tha visiting ' member of tha Coast Baseball League 3eft tor bom tonight after choosing m. ball of naw male for ties In all the jpnM naxt season, and announcing that George 'Wheeler, formerly of the Los As galea team, would be named offi cially within a few days as the sixth umpire for the leaa-ne. The schedule of frames will not be given out until a week or two before the beginning of the playing season. The opening; dates, however, will be: Oakland with the Seals In Pan Fran cisco; Portland against Loa Angeles at Washington lark, and Vernon vs. the Senators at Sacramento. Interviews with the representatives of the respective tesms show that each magnate Is counting the pennant as already won. The Interviews follow MeCredle Kxpecte to Repeat. Walter MeCredle, manager Portland club We have Just as good a team If not better than we had last season, and 1 see no reason why we should not re peat. We lost several good men. but we have obtained a number of stars from Cleveland, who showed up tine In minor ranks, but who have not had the experience to keep them in the major leagues. The pitching staff Is better than ever. Henderson appears to be In good shape, and I believe he will remain so throughout the season. Charley Graham, manager Sacramento baseball team O'Rourke has a number of fine young players from the East, and with these men to help out the team we should be among the leaders. Last season was O'Rourke's first year on the Coast, and he did well with the team. He has full power to act In all matters, so 1 believe everything will move along all right. I see no reason why we should not beat out the other teams In the league. It Is too early to predict the chancea of a team before the season starts, but Sacramento will be In the running. Angel Leader Claims Pessist W. Henry Berry, president Los An srelea baseball club Veterans of the diamond will compose the Los Angeles team, and they should be able soon to strike their stride, for It Is the young sters who lose confidence: the veterans know bettor. Our pitching staff will be the best" In the league, while every one says that we have about the classiest outfield. With Dillon In good shape again for first base and an Inneld that will work smoothly next year, we expect to win the flag. Frank lsh, president San Francisco club I will not claim the pennant for Fan Francisco yet. as we do not know what players will be selected. The men will not be picked until after we go Into training, and as we have more than SO men on the list It Is a difficult task to tell who will play. Our mate rial Is good, so that we should have a fine team. Although I will not claim that we will win th pennant next year, you may look for us to make a bettor showing that we did last year. The loss of our two star lnftelders has hurt us considerably. Oakland Will Be Fighting. K'l Wolters, president of Oakland club Our Infield Is all shot to pieces, but we have some good Tnaterlal to fill the gaps. When we lost the entire Infield It was thought we would be out of the 112 race, hilt things are coming along all right. "Bud" sharps, the new manager, will play first base, while I believe Helling will be on third. Oak land always has been fighting out for the pennant until the last few days of the season, and you may figure on Oak land being as high as It was last year. If not higher next season. "Happy" Hogan. manager of the Ver non club Vernon will be 25 per cent stronger than It was last year, while I figure that neither Portland nor Oak land will be quite as strong. I have kept last year's team Intact and the men will be able to play better base tall. I flcure that the teams which make the fewest changes have the best chance to obtain the pennant. Taking everything into consideration 1 do not see how we can do uny worse than we did last year, and I expect we will beJ one notch higher at the nnisn in tne first place. OITLWV LEAGUE ORGANIZES President Declares Ides, Is Not to Precipitate Baseball War. CHICAGO. Jan. II. Threats of an outlaw" baseball league entering cities now occupied by the American Associa tion. National or American League ' teama took concrete form here today when the Columbian League was or ganised. Men who were interested In trie new movement say they do not wish a base-hall war. but frankly admit they will attract Just as many big league players to their fold as possible. It is admitted, however, that no fancy salaries are to be paid In order to get famous players to leave thels present berths. Jttho T. Ptwrrsj President. John T. Powers, the first president of the Wisconsin-Illinois League, was elected presid.-m. No other officers were selected today, but will be at an other meeting two weeks from today. The following men who propose to place clubs In their home cities were present: J. ". Masker. Ksnsns City; Thomas Varley and Judge Willis Melville. Mil waukee: A. J. Koesnik. Detroit, and W. C. Nelsan. Chicago. Wmlam Urlan. of Pt. Louis and W. H. Pierce, of Louis ville, were represented by President powers. AH these cities have been assured franchises In the new league. Teama also will be placed In either Cleveland. Columbus. Pittsburg. Cincinnati. Indian apolis. Peoria. Minneapolis or St. Paul, said President Powers. Applications have been received from all of these titles, he said. Play ts Start la April. The announced plan Is to start the season In tfve latter part of April and plar 14 games. As nearly as possible games will be played when the other teams la the various cities are not flavins. For this reason no schedule will be Issued until the organised leagues have released theirs. No. playing managers have feesa chosen, but the promoters sre confi dent they will have sufficient prom inent players with them. Plans were perfected today for offering the man agement of the Chicago club to Morde cal Brown, the St. Louis club to Ed Koenetchy. and the Kansas City Club to Danny Shay. "We do not desire to leave the Im pression that we are making war on the big leagues." said President Powers. "We are nut; we simply believe there Is room In these cities :r more teams. In all six cities selected thus far we have been assured of parks." LV.MH DECIDES OS UMPIRES Owens to Handle National Indicator In Plnoe of Hank O Daj. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. President Lynch, of the National League, It was learned today, has officially decided upon Clarence Owena to fill the va cancy In his umpiring staff for the coming season, caused by the retire ment of Hank CDay to take the man agement of the Cincinnati team. Owens is a product of the American Association and bis home is In Kansas City. The other umplree on the offi cial list given but are Johnstone. Klem. Eason, Rlgler, Flnneran, Bren nan. Emslie and Bush, the laat-named of whom umpired a few games toward ths close of last season. ALLEYS ARE KEPT HOT FtXRTXiAD BOWLERS PREPAR ING FOR BIG TOUTCNET.. Three Fire-Men Teams Will Go to Los Angeles to Attend Western Bowling Congress. Portland bowlers are practicing pre paratory to selecting the three teams which will represent this city at the Western Bowling Congress at Los An geles February 1 to 25. At least three teams of five men each will represent Portland at Los An geles, and It Is possible that two ad ditional quintets will go. Portland bowlers are anxious to make a showing at Los Angeles, tor they hope to bring the Western Bowling Congress to Port land ' at a future date. The Los Angeles-congress will be attended by teams from Chicago. Milwaukee, Des Moines and St- Louis, as well as teams from cities west of Denver. The Juris diction of the Western Congress only extends as far east as Denver. One of the teams sure to represent Chicago at the Western Bowling Con gress Is the Chalmers team. This club has made an enviable record and la planning to tour the Pacific Coast after competing at Los Angeles, visiting San Francisco. Portland. Seattle ana Spo kane. The Portland bowlers going to the Western Bowling Congress will com prise men's teams only, as there are not enough women bowlers In Portland to guarantee formation of a team having any kind of a chance In the Los Angeles competitions for women. Lack of Interest In the game here b7 the women Is responsible for this con dition, i B. O. Case, one of the members of the Dllworth Derbies bowling five, has returned from a trip East, and has re joined that quintet In the Big Four bowling league. Case is one of the most consistent bowlers In the city and 1.1s return to the Derbies probably will put that team back in the running In the championship tourney now in prog ress. E. IL Ball, one of the veteran bowl era of the city, who has been out of the game for more than a year, came Into the Saratoga alleys the other day and showed that he had lost none of his skill. Ball shot the sphere down the alleys for a grand average of 237 for three games, having scored 224. 234 and 253. a total of 711. Ball Is looked upon aa a likely candidate for the Los Angeles tournament. Monday night Gus Ahrens and Fred Raymond will meet In a ten-game match. This will be a challenge match in which Raymond wagers Jie can de feat Ahrens, who has so far anccessful ly defended his title of city champion. Xewberg Defeats Lincoln High. NEWBERG. Or, Jan. 13.

MEN WHO WILL CALL BALLS AND STRIKES FOR COAST LEAGUE DURING SEASON OF 1912. Cc -ft. . .-Wr, J"ew , K ! - - -, i . . - . - .- .-' . ' a. ' .. - " - ' , ' --! fi . i . ,. 2iV J '-i V - BY SEEKS LAST Only One More Umpire to Be Named for Coast League. VAN HALTREN MAY WIN JOB With McGreevT, Hlldebrand1, Finney, Casey and Merte Already Named President of Baseball Organ isation Has One to Choose. Allan T. Baum, president of the Pa cific Coast League, who Insisted on the double umpire system and secured the ratification of this idea at the league meeting, has named five of the six men who will handle the games In this cir cuit next season. Beginning with the regular staff of the 1911 season Eugene McOreevy, George Hlldebrand and Ed Finney, Baum baa added the names of "Sandow" Mertes and Pearl Casey to the roll. One more official remains to be appointed, and this man may be the veteran, George Van Haltren, who has many friends and admirers along the Coast who are anxious to boost hlra Into the Job for another season. In McOreevy and Hlldebrand. Baum has retained two really good officials who were with the league last season, and Ed Finney, who did not show to good advantage at the start. Improved toward the close of the season and promises to be a flrst-claaa official dur ing the coming season. Umpire Mertea has been a major league player of note for a number of years, and when his application was accepted as umpire by President Baum, he announced that he would do the best he could to make good as an ar biter. Mertes asserts that he will not have to be told to quit, and that he will recognize that he Is deficient with out requiring the intervention of the president of the league, and asserts that he will resign as soon as he Is satisfied that his services are not win ning the approval of the patrona of the game. Pearl Casey, who has been a popular Idol In the Pacific Coast League for years, looks at umpiring much the same ss does Mertea The former Beaver second sacker Is positive he can make 1 "1 " THEIR NUMBER WE SHALL KNOW good as an umpire, and says that he will soon learn whether he Is giving satisfaction or not, and In the event of the latter he will quit before he is fired. Casey's many friends In Portland are confident that he will make good as an umpire, and all of them are delighted in President Baum's selection of the former Beaver captain. Casey Is a cool, level-headed athlete, and never was anything of a rowdy on or off the diamond. He la diplomatic and his quiet, easy mannerisms will serve him well In dealing with possible obstrep erous players when he takes hold as one of the officials In charge of the games here next season. President Baum has numerous appli cations for the sixth job, and It may be that a younger man will be selected, though the host of friends of Van Haltren seem likely to swing the extra berth to the famous veteran of the playing field. SALMON GOES TO ATHLETICS St. Louis' Claim to Princeton Star Pitcher Is Disallowed. CINCINNATI, Jan. 13. The National baseball commission. In a finding hand ed down today, denied the claim of the St. Louis Nationals to Pitcher J. R. Salmon, and decided that the title to the player Is vested In the Philadelphia Americans. Manager Bresnahan contended that he negotiated with Salmon's father for the services of the young player, and that he joined the St- Louis club at Broklyn and practiced with the club the latter part of last season. Bresnahan declared, upon the representations of the elder Salmon, that if his son played with the St. Louis club he would be In eligible to pitch for the Princeton Uni versity team, he was excused with the understanding that be was to report to Su Louts in case he did not remain at college. The commission found that the negotiations were conducted In good faith, but that, as neither formal nor written contract had been entered Into, the St. Louis club has failed to reserve him. Thisentitled Salmon to be de clared a free agent, and eligible; to con tract with Philadelphia. CARNEY TAKES CHAMPIONSHIP T)e Oro Defeated In Tliree-Cusblon JDatcb In Sensational Finish. DENVER. Jan. IS. Joseph Carney, of San Francisco, after a remarkably sen sational finish, won the final block of 60 points In the contest with Alfred De Oro, thus becoming the three cushion champion of the world over the former holder of the Lambert trophy. The final score was: Carney, 180: De Oro, 148. Carney ran 63 of these points last night and De Oro made 41. The night before play ended with Carney having made 83 points and De Oro 107. Stallion Brings $4 7,500. LONDON. Jan. 13. At an auction here the Clydesdale stallion Barton of Buch lyvie, was sold for 347.500, the largest price ever received for a draft horse, and. for a horse in his 12th year, the sum has few precedents even among thoroughbreds. The best previous price ever received for a Clydesdale was $16,000, paid some 20 years ago for the 7-year-old cold Prince of Albion. LEST WE FORGET Portland Baseball Players In Daya of Yore, Recalled. No. Tl Virgil Garvin. GONE to that place of eternal rest from whence there Is no "come back" is Virgil Garvin, one of the greatest baseball pitchers the game ever knew, and who wore a Portland uniform In 1805 and part of the season of 1906. Garvin was a native of Texas and f!rst started playing professional base ball In the Lone Star State, and it was there that the Brooklyn National League team picked him up when that club was rated as a real ball club and had the habit of winning a National League pennant occasionally, and in the ac compllshment of this feat Garvin as sisted on two occasions. After pitching for Brooklyn for sev eral seasons Garvin was believed to be all in. as he displayed signs of having contracted tuberculosis, which eventu ally caused his death at Fresno, CaL, In 1908, and was released by Brooklyn. The Chicago Nationals picked him up and he pitched several seasons with that club. In 1905 Walter MeCredle secured Gar vin for the Portland team, and the tall pitcher reported here and performed In fine shape during 1906. In 1906 he took to drinking heavily. and MeCredle sus pended him for a time, after which he was secure! by the Seattle club, with which team ho finished the season. When Russ Hall deserted the Pacific Coast League In 1907. Garvin, who was a free agent by the dlsbandment of the 6eattle club, went with Hall to Butte. Ha played there one season, but the ravages of his affliction caused him to seek the warmer climate of California. The veteran twlrler was unable to with stand the advances of the "white plague" and succumbed to the disease. Oarvin's untimely end waa a source of regret all over the country, for be won a host of friends everywhere, who regretted his misfortune. Ha was bur- 1 'EM. Spokane Club Owner Admits Getting "Foot Into It." HE "UNCOVERED GREGG" Tvrfrler's "Knowledge or Table Eti quette Sadly . Lacking When He Firs Broke Into Northwestern League," Declares Magnate. "Every time I open my mouth I get my foot In It" So said Joseph P. Conn, the owner-of the Spokane club, when he passed through Portland en route home from San Francisco recently. San Francisco papera quoted Cohn as saying that Nick Williams waa a bloom er as a baseball manager. Cohn denies this, stating that he believes Williams did very well with the material on hand last season, taking Into considera tion the fact that his was a road out fit. "I do . claim credit for uncovering Vean Gregg and I don't think It's any thing to Vean's discredit when I say that his knowledge of table etiquette was sadly lacking when he first broke Into the Northwestern League," added Cohn. "Vean has showed himself a hustler and nobody is a bigger booster for the southpaw than myself." Last week Cohn struck another snag when he announced the discontinuance of "ladles' day" at Spokane. But as usual. Joe thought he was doing the women a favor. You see In announc ing the abolition of the day Joe simul taneously announced a 50 per cent cut in the daily admission price, with the exception of Sundays and holidays. "So you see." Cohn Is quoted as say ing, by way of rebuttal, "where, under theyformer system it cost the women $3 to see every gams In the week. In cluding the free day, under the present plan it will cost them less than 32.50." Through all the vicissitudes which seem to beset the Spokane mogul none can gainsay but that he is a good spender when It comes to baseball. Cohn hss had the highest salaried club in the league every season since he took charge and not one manager on the CoaBt would have retained Lou Nor dyke at first base at bis princely sal ary of 3325 per month, a manager's stipend. Outside of Manager Dillon, of Los Angeles, "Babe" Danzig waa probably the highest salaried first sacker in the Coast League, and his wage was probably not In excess of 3250. Rapps, of Portland, and Tennant, of San Fran. Cisco, drew down in the neighborhood of 1225. Nobody can blame Cohn then for giv GOHN GETS WORRY SPOKANE BASEBALL OWNER, CHAMPION PUBLICITY-GETTER ON PACIFIC COAST. y4H ir.V vf 7 vs. JOSEPH ing Victoria permission to dicker with Xordyke as manager of the "Vies."

UNIVERSITY ' OF WASHINGTON. Seattle, Jan. 13. (Special.) So small that when he puts on a uniform the most sympathetic little co-ed turns to hide a smile, Paul Hammer, a Tacoma freshman, four feet six inches tall and weighing 100 pounds, promises to make the most ideal crew coxswain Wash ington has ever had. He is the light est, man who has ever sruided the course of a shell on Lake Washington and according to Coach Connibear, has the knack for the work. Hammer is a little blonde fellow with mild blue eyes and he shows up strangely among the tall huskies who are turning out for the aquatic sport. He is the only man thus far who has made any showing at all for coxswain of the freshman crew and it is consid ered not unlikely that he may make the varsity. fllHLEiTwfMID HALL, HURLEY AND SHADING ER TO COACH AT WASHINGTON. Baseball aiaterial at University This Year Weak Grimm May Xot Wrestle. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Seattle, Jan. 13. (Special.) Dr. D. C. Hall, Bill Hurley and Gail Shadinger have been chosen track, baseball and wrestling coaches, respectively, for Washington this year. Dr. Hall, physical director of the university, who produced a winning track team in 1910, has a considerable record as an athlete, having repre sented America at the Paris Exposition games, where he entered as a middle distance runner and won several points In the half-mile for this country. No more popular man has coached a Wash ington athletic team than Dr. Hall. Bill Hurley coached Washington into the baseball championship last season and he was recommended for the po sition of baseball tutor by Manager Victor Zednick on the strength of his record. Hurley will have for a task this season the coaching of the nine into condition for the big California tour. In which the baseba'lers also will meet the Oregon institutions. Work, will be begun February 15 for the trip, which will be made late In March. The outlook for another star team Is gloomy. Baker, the big first base man, went to the Boston Amer.cans, where he failed to make good. Hughes, another Initial sacker; Jim Sturgis, the Pendleton, Or., southpaw, who twirled the university into the championship, and Lockwood, third baseman and last year's captain, are gone and there does not seem to be anyone ot even approxi mately their caliber to fill the gaps. For pitcher this season Willis Botaman, a freshman slab artist from Puyallup, comes the nearest to being a ball play er. Beck and Johnson, pitchers; Arney, shortstop; Fitzgerald, Mucklestone, sec ond base; Welts, center field; Coyle, right field; Joe Hartson and Ray Weg ener, of Tacoma, first base, and Captain Hlgglnbottom, left field, complete the list. In wrestling Shadinger has Hoover. Hardy, Hancock, Dickson and Polly Grimm, amateur champion of the United States. It is said that Grimm will not participate In wrestling this year. 1 HANDBALL AROUSES FRAT MEN University of Oregon to See Sched ule Played Under Hayward. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Jan. 13. Encouraged by the active in terest now being shown in the inter- class handball tournament. Trainer Havward announces that an lnter-fra- ternity handball schedule will be played as soon as the class champions are de termined. Medals will be awarded the victorious entries in both the singles and doubles. Also a wrestling tournament will be arranged In the near future for the men of all weights and classes. At present 80 collegians are using the mats dally. These contests come as a furtherance of the present pendency at the University of Oregon toward Intra-colleglate or Intensive athletics, the constant aim being to inspire all students to partake of full and equal participation in all of the games. The lnterfraternity basketball elim ination games, now In progress, have aroused more Interest in the game than has ever, been expressed heretofore. Each day the gymnasium galleries are crowded with partisan onlookers. It is proposed tv unite the City of Venice with the Island of the Lido by a railway tunnel passing under the lagoon. Th tun nel Is to etart near the great Piazza of St. Mark's, at a depth or about 26 feet bolow sea level, and to terminate at the four foun tains on the Lido. 3 'i 3 -i i -5 P. COHN. GOflGTOBICA UPTO AUSTRALIANS United States Cannot insist on Place Where Play Shall Be. TENNIS MEN GIVE VIEWS President Dwlglit Says Regulation little Asai:m Proposal of Wald ner Little Suys if Tropical Folk Wish to Come, Good. BT RALPH H. MITCHELL. Though Harry L. Waidner. North western tennis champion, declared in an interview in Chicago last week, fol lowing the disastrous defeat of the Americans in New Zealand, that it was the sentiment of the tennis players of the United States that a demand should be made on the Australians to play for the international trophy in America next time, his co-workers on the United States Lawn Tennis Association ap parently do not agree with him. President James Dwight in a message to The Sunday Oregonian last night said: "The regulations require that the Davis cup matches be played In the country holding the cup. It is Impos sible to require or even to ask to have them played elsewhere." Little Voices Views. Raymond D. Little, one of the fore most exponents of the game in Amer ica, and himself an ex-champion and present doubles champion with Louch ard, also telegraphed The Sunday Ore gonian last night: "There Is no rule under which we can insist that Australia play the next com petition for the Davis cup in this coun try. If they should offer to do so their offer would doubtless be accepted." ' Little Is also a member of the U. S. I T. A. and Is close to President Dwight, who resigns this year, and shows that though Waidner may be voicing the sentiment of tennis players in the Mid dle West he apparently does not give the impression that is held In the East. Sumner Hardy, Western representa tive on the big committees, who re sides In San Franciscc, said in a tele gram yesterday: "According to the International agree ment we cannot Insist that the Aus tralians come to America for play in the international tennis." Waidner Apparently Alone. Waidner seems to be alone in his views as expressed last week, though he did mean well, doubtless. Waidner, speaking as secretary of the Western Lawn Tennis Association, was quoted as saying that United States players would cease to be contenders for the International trophy unless Aus tralian players accepted an invitation to come here and defend the Davis cup on American courts. This, Mr. Waid ner said, was the sentiment of tennis players throughout the country. ,As a result of ths play at Christ church, where it was fully evidenced that the American players cannot be come acclimated to the tropical coun try so as to fit them for championship play, it seems that the only plausible solution of the situation is that voiced from New York last week to the ef fect that plans are being worked out for the holding of the world's tennis championships in Paris in the future. This scheme Is to be discussed at a conference to be held in the gay French capital in July, when United States, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Bel gium, France and Australia tennis rep resentatives are to meet. "The purpose of the conference," says the Invitation from the president of the Union des Societies Francaises de Sports Athletlqnes, "is to decide whether it is desirable to institute a lawn tennis championship of the world, and if the answer Is affirmative to for mulate rules to govern the compe tition." JOHNSON REFUSES TO FIGHT Offers of $20,000 for Match Next Month Held to Be Too Small. CHICAGO, Jan. 18. (Special.) Wal ter St. Denis and Tom O'Rourke, both of New York; James Cof froth, of San Francisco; the Cleveland Athletic Club and tho West Side Athletic Club of New Orleans, all are after Jack Johnson for a 10-round bout to be held some time next month. The dusky champion has been of fered a straight guarantee of from J15. 000 to J20.000. Joe Jeannette, Tony Ross and Al Palzer have been men tioned as opponents in each oase. Johnson has refused to consider every offer because the guarantee Is not big enough. Johnson insists that he wants to box and Is willing to give any and all a chance at the title, but he wants his price. The tltleholder has intimated that ha i .i .-. . an nff o.

(SpeciaL) The Jap anese may have a chance to defend their title to baseball superiority against the University of Washington nine this season if a trip to the Orient that is being planned now is carried out. So Intense was the interest shown In the games Washington played In Japan In 190S, both In the United States and that country, that the prop osition of making an Eastern trip ev ery five years as a college tradition and custom is being considered. Dallas 20, Mount Angel 0. MOUNT ANGEL. Or., Jan. 13. (Spe cial.) The Mount Angel College bas ketball team was defeated for the first time this season here Friday by the Dallas quintet. The score was 20 to 9. Dallas did not start scoring until the first half was nearly over and then by some clever shooting by Ballyntine they made the score stand 11 to 2.
