Won the pennant of Red River Val ley League. 1808 Played with Seattle, pitcher and second baseman. Won the pen nant of old Faclflc Northwest League. 1S90 San Jose, of the California State League. 1900 Pueblo, of the Western League. 1901 Portland, of the Pacific Northwest League. Portland won the pennant of . the Pacific Northwest League. 180:: Portland, of Pacific North west League. 1803 Portland, of the Pacific Coast League, at that time an outlaw or ganization. 1B04 San Francisco, of the Pa cific Coast League. 1907 Aberdeen, of Northwestern League. That year Xberdeen won the pennant and Anderson quit organized ban. It for no other reason than because .Joe Tinker la bosalns the Chicago club, oM-tlme ball fans of Portland will pull bard for the new Federal League to succeed. Tinker was one of the stars of the Portland pennant winner of 1901, the first year of Northwestern League ball, and It was from here that Joe went to the Cubs and began his major league career In 1902. Tinker's maneuvering this Winter serves to switch the spotlight back upon that first Portland pennant-winning aggregation. Of the 12 athletes. six have since managed teams, the sex tet being Joe Tinker, Bob Brown, Fred "Weed, Sammy "Vigneux, Jack Grim and George Engle. Bob Brown, now managing owner or the Vancouver' club, played center field for the champs. He later managed Aberdeen and Spokane. irred weed, right fielder, is said to have covered more ground that season than any other right fielder In the league. Fred is now managing a club In the Western Canada circuit. The receiver for the Portland cham pions that season was Sammy Vigneux. He managed the Portland club the fol lowing year. Jack Grim Led Club. ' George Engle was one of the leaders on the pitching staff for Portland In 1901. Later he played two years under Bob Brown, of Vancouver, one year with Seattle, last year managing the North Yakima club. Too much cannot be said for Jack Grim, who led the Portland club to the 1901 pennant. Afterwards he managed a club In the South Atlantic League. He now lies near death In the Southwest ern State Hospital at Marlon, Va. Old fans think there has never been a faster club in the Pacific Coast or Northwestern Leagues than the old Portland 1901 club of the Pacific North west League. Jack Delsel held down shortstop and It must be said that he ami Joe Tinker covered the infield between second and third base to perfection. Delsel is now in the fruit business In Cincinnati Ohio. Anderson Owns Poolroom. One of the pitchers for the club was W. A. Salisbury, better known to the fans as "Old Sal." He pitched great ball for Portland. He quit shortly after and Is now In the printing business In Al bany, Or. Andy Anderson covered second base for Portland In 1901-2-8. He Quit or ganlzed baseball In 1907 and Is now half owner of the Powers-Anderson Pool and Billiard Emporium in the basement of the Perkins Hotel. M. Glendon, a pitcher, was a railroad man before he broke into organized baseball. In 1903 he was offered a good position and. ne has been rallroadin ver since. Portland's left fielder In 1901 was Muller. He is now a contractor and builder In San Francisco. Lou Mahaf fey played first base. E. H. Spranger, 241 "Washington street, has a check which was given him as a year's dividend at 12 per cent on his one share In the Portland Base ball Club, Incorporated. This share cost him $6, and his dividends at the rate of 12 per cent netted him 60c for the year. The check Is dated December 30, 1903, and was the first dividend paid on the Portland club. Some Editorial Thoughts Profound and Otnerirlne Concerning the Federal Xeaerue Harry Nelly, St. Louis Times. w HAT the Ides of April will bring forth In the way of Federal League hereabouts increases as the great mid-Winter mystery of 1913-14. The great assortment of language which heretofore marked the doings or the infant organization has dwin dled into a grave and solid silence. Audible expression on the part of the Feds lias been reduced to nothing. There's a hen on somewhere, but the exact geography of same cannot be determined by our most able baseball experts. Otto Stiefel says he Is in the league to stay, the enemy starting an army of rumors that he had wlth tlrawa. Anything is possible in baseball, even when organized, so be not surprised at . a surprise in the Federal situation before long. J. Ed Grlllo, Wanhlafcton Star. The contention that the Federal League lias as good a chance to suc ceed as did tho American Leasue when It expanded, in 1900 and 1801, is not based on facts. Conditions have vastly changed in the years that have passed since, the American League forged into major league ranks. In those days there was little or no opposition en countered by the invaders, for the Na tional League at that time was torn by fierce internal convulsions and in no condition for a fight. The proposed Federal League has no virgin territory to invade. There is sinsrle opposition in six .cities of its . circuit and double, opposition In two. PORTLAND'S CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM OF 1901.

JACK GRIMM, ROBERT BROWN, 91. MILLER) SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT GEORGE ENGLE, SAM VIGNEA UX. From an artistic viewpoint the poorest of this opposition is sure to be of a higher grade than that of the Federals. When the American League came Into the field there was room for another major league. The game had deterior ated under the mismanagement of the National League, and attendance had fallen to the lowest ebb. There was public clamor for opposition, and the American League really had easy sail ing. The American League, which to day shares with the National League the hegemony of the baseball world. Is the only organization in the history of the sport to conduct a successful war with the National League without sub sequently losing the fruits of Its vic tory through diplomacy or legislation. The time was ripe for the invasion which the American League made, which accounts for its success and subsequent prosperity. The handicap which tb.e Federal League will have to shoulder when Its chances are compared with those of the American League a few years ago are perhaps best realized when a com parison .of the two circuits is made. When the American League broke In it had some virgin territory, while the Federal League is confronted . with strong opposition and conditions .which do not demand a change. O. B. Keeler, Atlanta-Georgian. It has been asserted confidently by at least one National League support er that the long jump from Toronto to Kansas City will break the back of the Federal League. This assertion. It ap pears. Is somewhat ungrounded. For one thing, there might arise no un usual necessity for that jump to pre dominate in the schedule. For another. while the Jump is of 835 miles (air line), it Isn't as long as the National League gap between Boston and Chi cago or between New York and St. Louis. And the funny part of It is that the Feds circuit, now being held up to considerable ridicule by the estab lished order of things, actually meas ures up shorter, in airline mileage, than the circuit of the National League 2095 miles, against 2125. Also, we take It the Feds won't start out paying Pullman fare for 25 to 30 athletes per club. They very likely will do with 15 or 16 and play better ball for It, too. So the sympathetic Na tional League magnates should sit up nights to worry. Mount Angel Defeats Chemawa. MOUNT ANGEL, Or., Jan. 31. (Spt cial.) Mount Angel College juniors defeated the Chemawa second team in the college gym by the score of 40 to 14. The juniors showed too much team work for the opponents, who seemed dazed for the greater part of the game until towards the end of the second half, when they took a spurt which netted them a few baskets, but the lead of the Juniors was too great to be overcome.

PORTLAND ' -.. --- C 1 1 VARSITY FANS FEAR Basketball Team Lacks Expe rience for Seattle Game. LINEUP STILL IN DOUBT Oregon Men Will Leave Friday for Conference Debut Squad Is Top Heavy WitH Guards and Lacking in Forwards. . UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or, Jan. 31. (Special.) Oregon's var sity basketball squad will leave for Se attle Friday to make Its conference debut against Washington. The team Is topheavy with guards and centers. but deficient In forwards and is suf fering from lack of stiff competition in practice games. iNoi oniy is nezaeK s quintet taking a long chance In meeting its strongest conference opponents on the break away, but It is under a further handi cap through the fact that Washington has had experience which It lacks. The three straight victories over the Ore son Aggies, supplemented by the usual practice games, have given the north erners, already a team of veterans, the necessary test under fire. Under these circumstances, Oregon fans will be well satisfied if their rep resentatives win one game In their three starts at Seattle, while a victory on the series Is beyond the expecta tions of the most hopeful. Coach Bezdek, having yet to see his first conference basketball game, and being In the dark concerning the mag nitude of the proposition which he Is to tackle at Seattle, will not venture a prediction either way. .Although three games have been played, the Oregon team still is In the plastic stage of its development. Seven men and the coach will be car ried on the northern trip. It is almost a sure thing that Captain Fenton, cen ter, and Bradshaw and Sims, - guards, three veterans who have held their position against all comers so far, will be detailed for service. Rice, a fourth veteran and a clever utility man, also is sure to be a member of the troupe. Another good bet Is that Lyle Big bee, a husky freshman, will appear in one of the forward roles. Wheeler, an other freshman, has been working at the other forward station most of the time, and he also will likely be one of the chosen. This narrows the field down to Car- OP GIANTS-SOX BASEBALL TOUR 8 If BASS BALL CLUB, Inc. iHw ). ei : - son, "Skeet" Blgbee and Wolcott. who are expected to furnish the fight for the seventh berth. Of course, it Is possible that a rank outsider will dislodge one of the above aspirants during the ' next week of practice. The dark horse may be Les ter Koch, formerly . center on the Eu gene High School team, who joined the squad last night. Koch is considered one of the strongest centers here abouts, and a worthy understudy for Fenton. The team will meet Washington for the first time. Saturday night, and will contest with the same adversary Mon day. and Tuesday. Wednesday the tourists will go either to Tacoma or to Vancouver. - Thursday ' Bezdek's five will fill Its last engagement of the trip with the Multnomah Club in Portland.

OP WORLD. i. r. - j BOISE CLUB SALE SURPRISE TO FANS Purchase of Baseball Rights by M. R. Evans and Union League Entry Liked. DEAL TAKEN FOR GRANTED New Owner Has Opportunity to Get Good Start for 1914 Race and Slake Money McCloskey Is Possible Manager. BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 31. (Special.) The divorcing of baseball from local management and the turning of the Boise franchise, club, park and good will over to Maury R. Evans, a promi nent mining man of Salt Lake City, came somewhat as a surprise to local fans. They are pleased, however, to learn that Union League ball Is to be erved. It is taken for granted here that the transfer is as good as made, although the consideration reported. $2000, is not as high as many fans expected. Just what disposition Evans will make of the players Boise holds has not been announced. It is taken for granted that Boise was free territory when this city was given a irancnise in the Union Association, the western Trl-State League having dropped out. It is also taken for granted that Presi dent Murphy, of the Union League. made application to Secretary n erreu to annex Boise to the Union Associa tion. Evans Virtually In Control. When Evans, who attended the Butle meeting, therefore offered to put up $2000 as a guarantee that Boise wouia make good on the franchise the di rectors voted to this city, he virtually came into possession of the franchise. Subsequent developments indicate thai udoii his visit to Boise this week and his conference with the directors oi tnc local club, he decided to go througn and to make a payment to the latter to gain control of the local situation. In many ways fans here loon upon the deal with satisfaction. Under locai management they have been per sistentlv called uoon to lend finan cial assistance to the club, under an Independent management this will be done away with. It is also said that Evans, or the man he puts in charge of his interests here, will make money with the club. What the fans want is good ball, properly handled, and they will support the team. Good Start Possible. With a clean slate insofar as in debtedness is concerned. Evans and his associates will be in a position to as semble a team at an early date and get a good start for the pennant race. The Boise park Is one. of the best in the West, conceded in fact to be the best park In the Union League. It is in good condition and only a small amount of money would have to be spent to get them in condition for play. The possibility or -rionesi jonn McCloskey, ex-manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, and When Pacific baseball s being played in the Northwest, manager of the iJoise ciud, coming to this city to take charge of this year's team in the Union Association, does not look at all bad to fans. McCloskey is said to be out of a baseball berth, and reports have It he is being con sidered as a possible manager for the local team under the Evans owner ship. BAKER WANTS LEAGUE CLUB Fans Think City Should Be Repre sented In Organized Baseball. BAKER, Or.. Jan. 31. (Special.) Feeling is beginning to be apparent among fans here mat Baer snouiu be represented In organized baseball this season, and It is possible that an application will be made for a fran chise in the Western Tri-State League. Since the collapse of baseball in Baker last Summer, when this city withdrew after the La Grande club had failed, there has been considerable feeling against the Western Tri-State League here, the fans believing that the salary limit was openly violated by the larger clubs of the league, Boise and Walla Walla. Boise, how ever, has withdrawn and a representa tive of Baker will be at the coming meeting of the Western Tri-State League to fight for legislation which will assure a $1200 salary limit and which will make It so that such an agreement cannot be violated. The proposal as It now stands Is for a four-club circuit, consisting of Walla Walla, North Yakima, Pendleton and Baker, with La Grande as a possible alternative. WATER POLO PLANNED UNIVERSITY OF OREGON MAY PLAY MULTNOMAH CLUB. Game May Be Made Feature of Rose Festival Aquatic Meet ew Tank Installed by Collea-lans. Water polo between the Multnomah Club and the University of Oregon is a phase of collegiate athletics which Portland fans may see this Spring. The University of Oregon recently opened a new swimming tank and has the game organized. The college has several crack swimmers, but the game there is still In its infancy. In the East water polo has for two years been a big thing on the inter collegiate calendar. The Universities of Chicagro and Illinois have two of the strongest teams of the country. A game between the college and the club may be Injected into the Rose festival, aquatic meet when water sports out of the boats will receive the biggest boost they have had in Port land. Normal Defeats Albany, 4 9-15. MONMOUTH. Or., Jan. 31. (Special.) I The basketball quintet of the Oregon Normal School defeated the Albany College team In the normal gymnasium here, 49 to 16. The game was clean and fast, the Normal School players taking the lead from the start. This is the second of a series of games ar ranged by the normal team.

Dariua Smyth and Woodwortli are lip. Ins Considered for Punltloo Team to Slow Up for ExamM. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Or.. Jan. 31. (Spe cial.) Despite the fact that Everett May, captain of the Oregon Agricultur al College basketball team, is suffer ing from an abcess on his elbow which is keeping him -off of the floor, and that King and Dewey, the two other veterans on the Aggie squad, are not yet recovered from the Seattle games. Dr. Stewart, the Beaver basketball coach, is hard at work attempting to reorganize the team to gain eftective ness. "Doc" believe that the weakest point on his team is the center berth. and he is attempting to remedy this weakness by the shifting of the mem bers of the squad, or by the discovery of a new man. Billie and Mix, the two men who held down the pivot position. at Seattle, are hard working lads, but neither of them seems to bo able to de velop a jump that will get tho toss-up away from such husky centers as Fen ton and Savage. Both are valuable men, and may be used by Stewart in other positions, but local fans are ex pecting to see a new man in the circle by the time the next Conference game comes around. There are two men who are possibili ties as centers, one of these is Darius Smyth, known as "Hungry." This is tho lad that broke into the Oregon football game last Fall and surprised everybody by not letting the Eugene team get through him. lie has had some experience at basketball, and, al though he is not a star as yet. he has the jumping ability that may land him a berth on the Aggie varsity. He is tall and husky. The other possibility is Woodworth, a big . chap who attracted considerable attention last Spring as a high jumper. He has not been' in college this sem ester, but plans to enter next term, and lias been doing some work with the team. He is 6 feet 3 inches tall and has a good jump. Whether or not there Is in liim combined with his leaping ability, any large amount of class as a basketball player, remains to be seen. Dr. Stewart will give him a chance to show what he can do, at any rate. The nervous strain of examination week will result in a slight degree of slowing-up for the Beavers this week, but work-outs will be held every night in preparation for the return game wtih the Multnomah Club, to be played here February 7. The Seattle trip resulted in the loss of a large amount of scholastic work by the mem bers of the team, a loss particularly serious just before examinations, and rather than risk the possibility of hav ing any of his pets "posted by the ever watchful faculty, "Doc" will encourage and foster any tendency toward studi ousness this week. However, the men will be kept In good shape, and will start strenuous work after the dreaded test period is over. Washington .

STEWART KXCCSES VICTORY Defeut of Silverton Team Due to Ab sence of Cooper, Says Coach. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis. Jan. 31. Dr. Stewart, coach, of Oregon Agricultural College, is em phasizing today several facts which contributed to the Aggie victory of 33 to 18 over Silverton Athletic Club last night. "Harry Cooper, manager and playing coach of the Silverton team, was out of the game with a broken finger." said Stewart. "Fans who have followed Cooper's athletic career in the North west know that he would have been good for at least 12 points in last night's game. His loss meant the disor ganization of the Silverton team. For these reasons the team we met last night was not in the class with Oregon and Washington.
