Instead of having a city baseball
league next Summer, Portland semi
professional teams may take part In
an eight or 10-team competition, cul

W. W. McCredie. president of the
Portland Coast team, la fathering
scheme for staie-wide competition. His
plan calls for the division of the state
Into sections Southern Oregon, ' Coos
Bay, Willamette Valley. Lower Colum
bla. Upper Columbia, Eastern Oregon
and Portland each section to be or
ganized and to play out an elimination
schedule.
Winners then would play the cham
pionship series in Portland at Coast
League Park.
"I think it would be best to organize
each section and have the central or
ganization In Portland," explained
President McCredie.
Funds Could Be Split.
Funds from the elimination games,
above expenses, or perhaps only a cer
tain percentage, might then be turned
Into the central committee, to be used
or split among the winners.
"This ought to give the winning team
at least $1000 in cash and the rest
might be divided among the first four
clubs, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. How
over, that is incidental to the general
scheme of organization. Perhaps the
semi-professional teams of the state
may not want to enter, but It looks to
me that this plan ought to meet with
general approval.
"Anyway, I would like to have the
various teams throughout the state
communicate with the Portland news
papers and perhaps we can swing the

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 9. Boxing In
Wisconsin under state regulation has
been a success and the commonwealth
has profited more than ?12.000, accord
ing to a report of the State Athletic
Commission, prepared ana issued to
day for presentation to the Legisla
ture.
The report says in part:
"There was more or . less oppos
tion to the Commission when it was
created by those opposed to boxing,
but wise and careful administration of
the law and total elimination of the
evil features of the old-time nrizering
have won thousands of friends for
the game.
"In fact, legalized boxing has met
with statewide approval. The general
public Interest In the sport Is reflected
in tho fact that during the' period
covered by this report, including one
full W inter season, nearly aoO.OUO per
sons have attended boxing exhibitions
and have . paid for- admission nearly
1250,000. . " ' , '
-"'The Commission " has been most
stringent in enforcing the law and
there" have been very few violations.'
OREGON IS AFTER GAME
MCLT-VOMAH MEX WILLING, BUT
DATE SOUGHT IS TAKES.
University of Washington May Play
Here February 22, According to
Request In Letter.
Harry Fischer, manager of the Mult
nomah Club basketball quintet, yester
day received a letter from Graduate
Manager Tiffany, of the University of
Oregon, asking for a game with
Fischer's squad next Saturday in Port
land. Although Fischer says he is will
ing to play the Oregon squad, It will
be necessary to select a new date, as
the Winged "M" basket shooters mix
on that night with Company M, of the
Vancouver Barracks.
Manager Fischer also received a let
ter from the University of Washington
asking for a game here on Washing
ton's birthday. - This, probably, will be
played if proper arrangements can be
made-
Nothing; definite has been arranged
regarding the playing of the Illinois
Athletic Club five on their trip to the
Coast," said Fischer. The Winged "M"
manager received a letter some time
ago from the Illinois Club asking for
game.
"The trouble with these Eastern
teams is that they want a small for
tune whenever they play on their
tours." said the Multnomah manager.
Even at that they will have to stop
over a day and night when they return
from competing at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition in March, and I know that
we . can assure them a bigger house
than anyone else in town, so we prob-
bly will get a game with them. We
won't promise them anything, but the
club Is willing to give them the gate if
they play. This will no doubt amply
pay their expenses for their stay here,''
continued Fischer..

In the Commercial Class A League
the Brunswick Balke Company are

best in the circuit.
The new year found all the teams
well bunched and almost every night's

lead in the average, although Meyers
is pressing him close. Meyers' score of
6S3 In three games last week gives him
high series for the season.

Kennel Club to Make Plans After
Election Duo This Week.
The annual meeting and election of
officers of the Portland Kennel Club
wjll be held before January 14, accord
ing to the club's bylaws, and it Is said
that Frank E. Watkins probably will
be elected president to succeed Alma
D. Katz. J. J. McCarthy Is the prob
able choice for secretary to succeed
himself.
Members of the club say it Is cer
tain that the club will hold a dog show
in April.
Last year was the only season since
the club was organized In 1900 In which
it failed to hold its annual show. This
was on account of the fact that the club
had lost money the season previous
on account of not having had a good
location, while last year no central spot
could be had In which the show could
have succeded financially.
Two or three sites will be available
for the show this year. It Is said, and
plans will be made shortly after the
election to make the event a success.

son, a light-heavyweight prizefighter,
known in the ring as Jack Newton,
who collapsed last r.iht after being
beaten by Ike Cohen in a boxing bout
before the Pacific Athletic Club, an
organization composed of city police
men and firemen, died today without
regaining consciousness.
Cohen and F. M. Mitchell, a second
in the fight, are in tne city jail In de
fault of ball. Lonnte Austin, referee;
Dan Salt, master of ceremonies, and
Sammy Good and J. J. McQinley, sec
onds, were arrested after the fight and
released on $100 ball, pending the out
come of Anderson's injuries. Dr. E. T.
Hanley, the club physician, examined
the men before they entered the ring
and pronounced them fit
Anderson showed poor form in the
tight, and in the third round went
down from a right swing on the jaw.
He staggered to his feet after nine had
been counted, and Cohen stepped for'
ward to knock out his helpless an
tagonist, but the referee interfered
and saved Anderson by declaring
Cchen the winner.
Officials in the Prosecuting Attor
ney's office Intimated tonight that there
was little likelihood of the defendants
being prosecuted.
An autopsy disclosed that death was
caused by a ruptured blood vessel on
the right side of Anderson's head. The
Coroner said Anderson should not have
entered the ring.
Anderson's death, said to be the first
boxing fatality In this state, put
damper on the proposal to ask the
Legislature, which will convene Mon
day, to authorize 20-round bouts In
Washington.

BY HARRY H. SMITH.
' SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 9. Unless (II
signs fall, there Is a healthier outlook
for baseball on the Taciflo Coast for
1915 than lias been the rase in many
a day. There has been a great deal
of shifting, it la true. nd these
changes, for the most part, seem to
augur well for the future. The advent
of Henry Kerry as owner of the Fan
Francisco club waa a mighty clever
move, so far as the National spurt is
concerned, and Berry has allied ami
abetted that feeling by the selection of
Harry Wolverton as manager of the
Seals.
There Is no question but that tho
public demanded a change In local ren
ditions and no question, n veil, but
that a change was neecsoury. hlla I.
Cal Kwlng had done a great deal for
weetcrn baseball, and, f urthcrmor.
had been a big man. so far ns the sport
Is concerned, he had run Ills rare. A
few good years and the ran Francisco
club-owners had come to fuel that suc
cess must, perforce, follow them.
Park Employee Indifferent.
This created a general atmosphere
that was anything hut heall!;y. Tharn
was too much a sentiment of tho "pub
lic will take care of Itself." That
feeling permeated to the einplojen of
the park, and there was a general dis
position to treat the paying funa In
rather an Indifferent manner, Thm
sort of thing will latt for a short tlni-.
but It rnnnot go on forever. The peo
ple will tire of their treatment, and
when the chance comes there la bound
to be rebellion.
Tho time, so fur as San Francisco la
concerned, canto when Cal Kwtnii
opened his new park, near Lone Moun
tain. It was unfortunate that the
weather conditions were the. worst in
many a year and unfortunate that thn
people who attended the games bail
to freeze. They rehelled, and in no
uncertain fashion. They reeant-d the
fact that Kwlng was trying to crsni
the new park down their throats, ami
they simply quit attending games.
Sale to Berry Shrewd Met.
Now, when San Fram-lsro does not
draw, the balance of the league is
bound to be In bad shape. It was a
disastrous season for all concerned and
there was bound to bo an awakening.
Ewlng certainly made a shrewd move
when he determined to sell his Inter
ests. Berry made Just as shrewd a
move In his purchase. San Franciscans
have already taken the new owner to
their hearts, and all he hue to do is tu
give them a club up In the running.
Berry proved his good Judgment in
settling the Sacramento affair with
out any odium. There ia little Ques
tion but that a bad taste would have
been left in the mouths of the fans
had Wolverton remained without the
fold. There was a feeling that Wol
verton was getting something the
worst of the deal.
All that has been straightened
around. Harry and his business part
ner, Lloyd Jacobs, say they are fully
satisfied with the state of affairs.
Fans Like VI elvertoau
So far as the management of the Id
eal team is concerned, the appointment
of Wolverton has been ratified by the
votes of the fans. Lverywhere you so
you find some chap who speaks highly
of the new boss. Wolverton has been
popular hereabouts, ever since he did
so well with the Oakland team. He
has the fighting spirit, arid that is
what Callfornlans want.
Del Howard, while he doubtless Is a
good student of baseball, has not been
sufficiently aggressive. He stayed cut
of the game where his hitting might
have counted, and he failed to Inspire
his men with the do-or-dle spirit. I
notice from the southland t lie t Del has
been quoted as being prepared to retire
from the game. He haa large land
holdings at Paso Koblea. or near tho
springs, and says he will be a rancher
from now on. Ivan Howard thinks
that when Spring comes Del will find
it difficult to resist the call. AH the
same, Howard Is getting along for
active baseball and he may be satisfied
to call It quits.
Jack Cook, of the Oakland team, haa
expresesd himself strongly In favor of
having no Spring ball games of any
consequence for the Pacific Coast
League teams. The custom has been
for the clubs to start training- a month
In advance of the season. Then, well
along, toward the close of narh week,
the Seals and Oaks, for Instance, would
be brought to San Francisco, for games
with the White Sox.
Naturally the same sort of action
will be followed out this year. Inas
much as the White Sox are tj make the
trip West. At the same tlni). the Oak
land magnate would curtail all audi
games In the future. He hollrves, ami
tiiere is a lot of logic In what he aaya,
that it would be far better If the Fan
Francisco public never saw the Seau
until the opening of the season. The
same goes for the Oaks and the oths-
clubs.
The present arrangement naturally
helps out In paying the rather heav
training expenses of the Coast League
clubs, but In the long run It. looks as
If Cook's scheme would work out well.
When the fans have a chance to see
their clubs against outside talent. It
takes off the edge. Further, there aru
a lot of the players who are really not
in shape for hard work so early In the
Spring and the fans get a had Idea of
whst they can really . lis an impo
sition on the players, inasmuch aa you
let a man get off to a bad start In
baseball ami it Is difficult for film
regain favor.
It doesn't look as If there would I.:
any great changes In train in if camp".
The SealE will likely return to mr.,
Springs, which has proved an l-leal lo
cation for them. The oaks are to p
to rieasanton, which Is handy fur their
own grounds. Los Angeles will do lis
raining on tho home ground. n
under an agreement with Krt Mxlcr.
the Vernon Tigers will be away from
Los Angeles this year.
