Vancouver, B. C, Is Easy Winner of
Northwestern Pennant Ban--croft's
Injury Serious Blow to
Colts All Stars to Play.
ET PORTUS BAXTER.
SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 27. (Spe
cial.) The Coast League will eventu
ally take its place in baseball as a
major organization. That is the opinion
of J. Cal Ewing. the San Francisco
magnate.
Mr. Ewing said this when he dropped
In on Seattle a few days ago unex
pectedly on his way to Spokane. "I
do not know," he continued, "whether
Seattle will be in the circuit or not,
but the time is coming when the Pa
cific Coast will take its place among
the big -leagues of the country. The
Coast League has no intention of with
drawing from its agreements. It will
live up to them, but the future can
be seen even at this day."
The end of the 1913 race for the
Northwestern League pennant was not
as exciting as It was a year ago, when
Seattle and Spokane were contenders
in the home stretch. Vancouver had
the flag won, to all Intents and pur
poses, two weeks before the curtain,
and the only struggle was between
Seattle and Portland for second place.
If Seattle had made good ue of its
opportunities, it would have had the
edge by the middle of the week, but
it sluffed off a couple of games to
Tacoma Just when they were badly
needed to take advantage of the games
lost by Portland to the Spokane In
dians. Vancouver must be given credit
for making a wonderfully strong fin
ish. About a month ago they had two
weeks of distress, the cause of which
was summed up by a Vancouver player
in these words: "We batted all right,
but we played bad balL" In the home
stretch, however, Vancouver has swept
everything before them and kept right
on going since the game that cinched
the flag beyond question.
Bancroft Injury Blow.
A good defense, with a strong and
aggressive attack, explains why Bob
Brown has once more annexed the cov
" eted bunting. ' The Seattle team lost
out when Gipe. Melkle and Kill were
Injured and Wilson and Shaw failed to
come up to last year's standing. The
Portland club would have been a
stronger contender with a schedule
that gave it a better break on games
at home. The injury to Bancroft in
the recent series with Seattle was a
serious blow, because Bancroft was
playing the most wonderful game seen
In this league this year. I do not hesi
tate to say that Bancroft was going at
Major-league speed when he unfortu
nately sprained his ankle sliding to
third. Look at his record on that day
In four times at bat he had a double
and two singles, had scored one run
and stolen one base. Instead of playing
short, he was playing short left field
and getting everything on either side
and in front. His style was exactly
that of Ned Williamson, the famous old
shortstop of the Chicago White Stock
ings in the days of Pop Anson.
Golf Interest Predicted.
The public Is not wildly excited over
the work being done on Seattle's first
public golf links, but when they are
completed and a lot of us old. worn
out sports commence to reap the bene
fit from this fine outdoor pastime
there will be a demand for more
courses. You cannot cut much figure
in baseball when you reach middle life,
unless you keep at It persistently, and
that is rather difficult for a person
who works for a living. Tennis is too
strenuous for the old fellows, although
some people think it Is a sissy game.
But good old golf! There Is where the
has-beens can get their fun and never
tire of it.
If there be a manager or club-owner
possessed of the hypnotic eye there is a
chance for him to land the greatest
first baseman in the world. Frank
Redpath, part owner of the Tacoma
club, looked upon this Individual when
he recently made a scouting trip
through Missouri and Oklahoma. Red
path could not land htm and does not
believe anyone else can lure him from
home. He simply laughs when of
fered a contract, yet he likes to play
ball and is the pride of Washing
ton, Mo.
"I will gamble." said Redpath. "that
any major-league club which can get
hold of this young fellow will have
the king-pin first-sacker of the world.
He can hit and Is so fast that it is no
trick at all for him to throw runners
out at third or second on bunts that
are ordinarily played to first base. The
trouble In getting him is that his
father Is worth $800,000, and he has his
own automobile."
Ail-Star Team to Flay.
There is a good deal In the old saying
that no sooner is one pennant race
settled than we Immediately start in
talking about the one coming up six
months hence. We are not quite
through with Northwestern League
stuff yet. because the Vancouver
champions, after closing with Seattle
Sunday, will remain over a day and
play with Harry Meeks' All-Star North
western League club. Meek and Harry
Hannah, of Spokane, will do the back
stopping for the All-Stars. Brooks,
Victoria; Keller, Tacoma: McMulltri,
Tacoma, andRawlings, Victoria, will be
the infield. Fries. Tacoma; Killilay.
Seattle, and Neighbors, Tacoma, will
make up the outfield. Dell and Kelly.
Seattle; Douglass, Spokane; Kaufman,
Tacoma. and Kantlehner, Victoria, will
compose the pitching staff. After
Monday's game, which will be called at
J o'clock, the teams will go to Van
couver and play through the week.
Including Saturday; then they return
to Seattle and close the post-season
series with a double-header.
President Dugdale will close the
present headquarters, of the Seattle
Baseball Club, in the New York block,
Monday and open new offices In the
tower of the Rainier Valley Park
grandstand. His telephone has already
been installed and some of his office
equipment transferred.
George McKay, an Oregon pioneer,
was in Seattle last week and called
on Stacy Shown, the Jeweler, whom
he had known a good many years back
in Oregon. Mr. McKay owned about
10.000 acres of good land and sold it
for enough to make living pretty easy.
Tortland looked pretty good to him
and he acquired the habit. Accidentally
he dropped in one day to see a ball
game and since then has become a
regular. It catches even the old men.
Mr. McKay told Mr. Shown that he was
going East on business but would cas
ually take in the world's series.

INFIELD SWATTERS ARE
ATHLETICS REAL CLASS
Philadelphia Pins Hope' for World's Championship Honors on Mcjnnis,
Collins, Baker and Barry Past Records Show Where Strength Lies.
ARTICLE 3.
(An analysis of the playing strength
of the Philadelphia and New York
Baseball Clubs. Sporting Editor's
Note.)
It is now almost universally conceded
that Melnnis, Collins, Barry and Baker,
the quartet which constitutes the inner
works of the Mack machine, surpasses
in all around effectiveness any thing
seen heretofore in all the history ot
baseball. Partisans of other clubs will
comment enthusiastically on the out
field, the pitchers or the maskmen of
their favorite team, but, mention the
four above named, and they will con
cede at once that Mack has the Infield.
They can well afford to close the ar
gument at that point, else it would be
necessary to deny the evidence of the
averages and the testimony of the sense
of sight.
During the past four seasons the
Philadelphia infield has made more
hits, more runs, stolen more bases,
made more put outs and assists and
fewer errors than any other combin
ation ha3 ever done in a like period.
Facing Johnson, Falkenberg, Scott,
Douss, Gregg and Russell 374 times
this season they have garnered 96 hits
and scored 39 runs, for a batting aver
age of .257.

An Indication of what the fans may
expect next month is found in digging

John Melnnis, frequently referred to
as "Stuffy," the smallest and youngest
first baseman in the major leagues, is
strictly a hand-made Mack product.
His dexterity in handling thrown balls,
his steady fielding and ability to clout
the ball are the qualifications that won
him his place among the "Wonder
Workers." A large percentage of
"Stuffy's" fat batting average is com
piled by sending red-hot drives down
the third-base line, and not the least
interesting of the features that will
enliven the forthcoming scrap will be
the battle between Herzog and Shafer
and the little White Elephant.
There are players in both leagues
who field as brilliantly as Collins. There
are others who hit as well as he does,
and a few who run bases with equal
skill and speed. There are none, how
ever, who combine all these desirable
accomplishments In so large a measure
as the second base guardian of the
Athletics. Like nearly all his mates,
Eddie has been made to order and for
nearly five years he has demonstrated
in vigorous fashion the excellence of
the Mack system. v
Col linn' Hit Hard to Guess.
At bat, Collins can bunt or hit it out
as the occasion demands, he sends his
drives to all fields and as a result It
is hard for fielders to play for him. He
is the best baserunner on the team as
a glance at the records shows and in
the field his "pep" and courage are
equaled only by his- skill.
Jack Barry enjoys one distinction
in American League circles that re
quires a word of explanation. He Is
the lightest hitter, or to be more accur
ate, the only moderate hitter of tle
four, yet In a pinch he Is more feared
by many American League pitchers
than any man on the club. His record
made two years ago against the New
York pitchers is a verification of this
statement.
The attainments of Baker are so well
known there Is little excuse for re
peating them here. His achievements
have been celebrated wherever baseball
is printed or spoken.
His ability to smite the ball is recog
nized thoroughly, his specialty being
to drive It out of the lot if there is
anything at stake when he happens to
come up. Baker fields bunts as well
as any one In his league, he goes after
all the fouls and gets most of them and
can handle thrown balls in splendid
shape. At the beginning of his Ameri
can League career he was rather awk
ward in this last named particular.
Concerning the chances of the Phila
delphia Club for victory one statement
can be made positively, and that is, if
the team wins, this great combination
will largely be responsible. If It loses,
little of the stigma of defeat will at
tach to them.
CHIVIXGTOJT SETS PRECEDENT
Playoff of Disputed Game at Point
Where Forfeited Not New.
CHICAGO, Sept. 27. President Chiv
lngton, of the American Association, It
Is said, established the precedent under
which the National League directors
ordered the disputed New York-Philadelphia
game resumed at the point
where Umpire Brennan declared It for
feited to the Giants.
On June 19, 1910, a game between
Minneapolis and Columbus, at Colum
bus, was called at the end of the first
half of the eighth on account of dark
ness. Umpire Duffy ordering the ter
mination of play. Minneapolis then
was leading by four runs, with two
more times at bat coming, while Co
lumbus had one.
The Columbus club entered a protest
against the calling off of the game, de
manding that It be played over. It was
shown that at the time Umpire Duffy
made his decision It was still light
enough to play, and that amateur teams
about the city were playing an hour
and a half after the league game had
been called.
President Chivington realized, on In
vestigation, that Columbus had a just
complaint, but since Minneapolis had
earned a decided advantage in the dis
puted game, he concluded It would
be unfair to the latter team to order
the entire game played over. There
fore, he ruled that on Columbus' next
visit to Minneapolis both teams, with
the lineup they had In the disputed
game, should resume the contest, with
Minneapolis going to bat In the last half
of the eighth. Tht Columbus club, see
ing little chance to overcome the home
team's advantage, declined to play it,
and the contest finally was recorded in
Minneapolis' favor, as Umpire Duffy had
ruled.
CAL EWING IS ROILED
ACTION OP UMPIRE BUSH 1ST STAR.
DLK'S CASES CAUSE.
San Francisco Magnate Offers alOO to
Any Fan Proving Player's Re
marks Were Profane.
Cal Ewing, owner of the San Fran
cisco Seals, is "sore." The following
telegram from A. T. Baum, president of
the Pacific Coast League, received yes
terday, explains his peeve:
"San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 27. J. Cal
Ewing, Portland, Or.: Umpire's tele
graphic report is that McArdle stood on
plate calling him every vile name for
three minutes, some of it loud enough
to penetrate to the stand. He then re
turned to the bench and delayed for
three minutes.
"A. T. BAUM, President."
Here is Mr. Ewing's rebuttal concern
ing the three days' suspension and $25
fine levied against Honus McArdle by
Umpire Bush in Thursday's game.
"I will offer $100 to any fan in the
grandstand who will come to me and
prove that he heard any profanity in
the grandstand," declared the San
Francisco owner.
"Umpire Bush is after our men be
cause of Manager Howard's charge of
intoxication against him several weeks
ago, and he is soaking us right and
left."
President Baum Is said to be con
ducting a quiet investigation of the in
cident and if he finds that Bush ex
ceeded his authority or misrepresented
the facts the latter may find himself
under discipline.
While McArdle's remarks may have
been bitter and profane they were not
spoken loud enough to be audible in the
press box.
Higglnbotham Is Bankrupt.
Fixing his liabilities at $2233.38 and
his, assets at "nothing," Irve Higgln
botham, one of Manager McCredie's star
right-handed pitchers, filed a petition
in voluntary bankruptcy in the office
of the clerk of the United States Dis
trict Court yesterlay. George S. Shep
ard Is his attorney. Higginbotham's
pitching has been a factor in the pres
ent high position of the Portland club
In the Pacific Coast League race.

Bill Rodgers Buys Bat for
Fan Who "Knocks" Him
Beaver Captain Overbears Conver
sation, Is Introduced and Galua
Ardent Supporter.
BILL RODGERS may or may not be
the most popular captain in Pa
cific Coast circles, but there is one
man in Portland, a clerk in the O.-W.
R. & N., who is pretty sure that Bill
is about the best in the business. He
now knows Rodgers as he Is.
John Doe entertained quite an oppo
site view when he entered the Archer
& Wiggins store. He was after a base
ball bat. and, incidentally, entered in
a discussion concerning Rodgers with
Joe Alderman, that loquacious dis
penser of baseball and baseball sup
plies. If what that fan thought of Rodgers
was printed, this issue of The Orego
nian would be so hot it would not
stand handling. Resentment born of
the 1912 Beaver slump, and nurtured
ever since, burst forth in streams.
Just when the aforesaid fan was at
his best, in stepped Rodgers and asked
for a bat from another salesman. He
soon got the drift of what the other
purchaser had to say, and winked at
Addleman.
Then the latter introduced Rodgers.
The knocker wilted and complained
of a bad stomach. Rodgers laughed.
and began showing the fan the good
points of some of the bats. He bought
a roll of tape and fixed one, a la Rodg
ers, paid the bill and presented the
outfit to the fan.
The "John Doe" making all the noise
about Rodgers on Sunday afternoons
now Is the same man who three weeks
ago could say nothing but "rotten"
when Rodgers appeared in the center
ring.
