THE Northwestern Baseball League
will have the curtain dropped for
the season of 1913 this afternoon
with Vancouver declared winner of the
pennant. The game this afternoon will
have nobear!ng on Vancouver's stand
ing, but Portland and Seattle will bat
tle their hardest, the former to hold
second and the latter to win the runner-up
place, which is but six points in
advance.
Seattle meets Vancouver at Seattle.
R. P. Brown, manager of the British
Columbia team, has no particular love
for the Colts and fans look to see
film send in a weak pitcher to aid Se
attle's chances for second.
If Seattle wins Portland would have
to lose one game of the double (if
played) to Spokane to give the Sound
city the second niche.
That race for second place has been
an absorbing topic all week. It will
.bring the teams concerned more money
man tne last In which Vancouver
figures.
The Northwestern League, according
to the standings of the teams at the
start of each series, was settled early
in the season. Vancouver started 13
succesive weeks In flrst place and In
the entire season had that honor 18
times. That makes but seven when it
did not start In first.
The bottom . places of the league,
fourth, fifth and sixth, were settled
shortly before Vancouver dropped into
the winning stride.
The last 20 series were started with
Spokane In sixth place. Tacoma
dropped Into fifth one week after Spo
kane" settled and Victoria held on In
fourth through 21 weeks. With the
exception of the flrst week Victoria
never saw the first division. Both Spo-
kane and Tacoma started two series In
third place.
Seattle was the only other . team
which made a good showing in first. It
started six weeks in that place. Port
land made a valiant fight In the first
division after May 12, and never went
below third, but still never started a
series in first place.
The Colts will spend their lust day
as a team in Portland tomorrow wheu
they meet the Beavers. Most of thorn
will leave the same night for a trl
through Northern California, meeting
the teams of the towns en route.
The Colts will have with them Carl
Mays, the bat leader on paper. How
ever, he has been at bat but a few more
than 100 times, while Harry Meek, the
unquenchable batter of the Victoria
team, is next to him with about 600
times at bat. This gives Meek the real
claim to the hitting title.
The Northwestern League magnates
will officially close the Northwestern
season with a meeting in Seattle
either tonight or tomorrow morning.
President Jones left yesterday and
will take care of the closing meeting.
BIG GAME IS ON MONDAY
COLTS AND BEAVERS TO CLASH .FOR
CITY CHAMPIONSHIP.
Nick Williams' Rooters Will Gather In
North Section of Stand and
"Cap" Rodgers' on South.
Monday is going to be a hard day on
the Portland fans when the Portland
Colts meet the Beavers on the local
lot. The Beavers have a strangle hold
on the Pacific Coast League "rag," but
then nobody is ashamed of "Nick" Will
lams and his fillies. However, the fans
will have to split. The north shore
of the Vaughn street lot will be under
the guidance of the Colt rooters and
the south side solid Bejver.
It will be a very hard task for the
everyday fan who has boosted in both
leagues for everything Portland fla
vored.
However, the Colts will not be un
attended. It would be. somewhat of a
sensation to have the Colts whip the
Beavers, and for Just no better reason
a well-determined band of leather-
Hinged exhorters will help the North
westerners. . - "
The batteries for the day have not
been definitely announced, Nick Will-
lams aeclared some time ago that he
would send in Carl Mays against the
Beaver lineup of league-leading bats
men If Nick will stand for it, Stanley will
probably be used on the mound for the
Beavers
The game between the Colts and the
Beavers is the only definite part of the
programme. However, the day's visitors
will see many things not on the schedule.
The Colts will all be here prepara
tory to shipping for the South, where
the team expects to clean up several
shekels in meeting teams of the North
ern California bushes.

BASEBALL MOGULS IX CITY
Ewlng, Hess, Darmandy and Wolff
Gather in Portland.
Portland entertained a host of prom
inent Pacific Coast baseball men yes
terday. Besides Cal Ewing, of the Seals, and
the local moguls, there were at the
ball game I. Hess, a stockholder in the
Oakland club, and Tom Darmandy, a
director of the Los Angeles team.

McCredie Says Speas Best
First-Sacker in League
Only Trouble In "Bill" Doesn't Want
to Play Initial Rase Portland
Magnate Picks AH-Stors.
WHO is the best first-sacker in the
Pacific Coast League?
Hold your haf now and prepare for a
surprise from Manager McCredie, of
the Portland Club. It is not Fred Der
rick, the Beavers' regular first-sacker,
but Bill Speas, utility outfielder.
Queried yesterday for a few slants on
his coast all-star opinion for 1913, Man
ager McCredie declared unequivocally
that Speas has it on every first baseman
in the league.
"The trouble with Bill is that he
doesn't want to play first base." said
Mac. "Speas is an outfielder and likes
the gardens. But, take It from me, he
is some first baseman. He hits better
than any other first-sacker In the
league, fields Just as. well and can run
bases better than any except Derrick."
Rodgers is McCredie's choice for the
second base all-star position. Mac has
always been sweet on his scrappy cap
tain. At short, McCredie thinks Cor
han, of the Seals, has it on any other
shortpatcher although Korea is a close
second.
The Portland manager isn't positive
about his third sack choice but his talk
would seem to indicate a leaning toward
Hallinan, of Sacramento.
"Too many good outfielders for me
to settle on three men," said the big
boss, shaking his head when he had
disposed of the innerworks.
"Hera are some of the top notchers:
Kane, Lober, Doane, Chadbourne, Mag
gert, Moran, Shinn, Johnston, Bayless,
Howard."
McCredie's catching choices are:
Fisher, of Portland, and Boles, of Los
Angeles. Among the pitchers McCredie
names West, Hagerman and James, of
Portland, Koestner, of Venice, B'anning,
Overall and Lelfield, of the Seals and
Klawitter, of Sacramento and one or
two others.
Miners to Play Ball.

OAKS GIVE MITZE LEAVE
CATCHER QUITS CLV'B AND HET
LING TAKES JOB FOR SEASON.
Devlin Leaven New Vork to Join Com
muters In Portland, but He Will
Not Be Slanager Yet.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 2T. (Spc
cial.) Manager Carl Mitze, of the Oak
land Club, has finished his managerial
duties with the trans-bay club. This
morning the little catcher received two
weeks' leave of absence to straighten
up his affairs, with the St. Louis
Brown3, the club he is supposed to Join
next year.
It is apparent that the magnates
were disgusted with Mitze's tactics
recently, and they wanted to get rid
of him in a hurry. The club has been
making a disgraceful showing on the
ball field, and the careless spirit dis
played by the players has kept the
tans away from the games.
It was announced that Gus Hetllng
would manage the club during the re
mainder of the season, and that Doc
Cook would be the field captain. To
day a dispatch was received from Ar
thur Devlin, who will manage the club
next season. He said that he would
leave New York tonight and that he
would Join the team at Portland next
Thursday.
Devlin plans to look over the team
closely, but it is positively announced
that he will not take over the manage
ment of the Oaks until next season,
although he will probably play.
President Leavitt, of the Oakland
baseball club, announced this morning
that Mitze had been granted the leave
of absence at his own request. Waivers
on Mitze have been asked from all the
Coast League clubs, and if they are ob
tained, the Oakland club will assist th
catcher to locate wherever he wishes.
CLtTB AT RAYMOND OPENED

Women Is Formed.

cial.) The Eagles Athletic Club was

ance at a free entertainment and dance

ball team defeated the Longshoremen'!

Minnesota's Teamwork Poor.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 27. Display
