MAGNATES MEET MONDAY Rational League Directors Also to Discuss Secretary Baker's Rul ing ; Four Club Owners . Ready to Comply. CHICAGO, July 20. American League baseball parks will close their sates for the duration of the war after tomorrow's games unless unexpected developments occur, it was announced tonight by Byron Bancroft Johnson, president of the organization. no appeal from Secretary of War Baker's interpretation of the "work or fight'' ruling as applied to ballplayers will be made and no effort is planned to finish the season with teams re cruited from veterans above the draft age and amateurs below the draft age. touch an attempt, baseball officials eay, not only would be an imposition on the fans, but would also be more or less of a subterfuge. In view of the Administration's edict. National League club owners, a few of whom are re ported as favoring: efforts to weather the storm, will meet in New York Wednesday. Club Owners Willing to Close. Now that the Administration wishes a. re known, it is said, the club owner IJiiasten to comply. Four of the five icilub owners, whom President Johnson lwas able to reach by telegraph, today favored closing' the season at once. Just what will become of the players' contracts and the umpires' contracts rwill be determined at Cleveland Mon- lay. Later an entire reconstruction of he government and machinery of jbasehall is planned. "While the ruling' came out of a clear sky, so far aa our knowledge of he Government's wishes was con erned," said President Johnson, "we ccept the ruling without a protest. If hose 2 55 players affected can perform seful and indispensable work In the emaining three months of the base all season, the financial loss resulting o our business is inconsequential. Organised Baseball to Benefit. "We only regret that we have been hlaced in the position of having to lose our parks when we already had Offered to do so. One word from an li uthoritative source would have ac- .omplished the same result. Now we will wind up our affairs as best we may and build for the future. 'I think the National emergency ulti- fnatefy 'will be of benefit to organized laseball in giving it a much, needed pportunity to clean house in the busi- ess methods and in the membership of Lome of its present family." At the Chicago National League Club leadquarters it was announced tonight Cincinnati would play a double-header lere Monday. I ' CLEVELAND. July 20. President Fames C. Dunn, of the Cleveland Ameri can League club, today sent the fol lowing' message to Cleveland irom Llilcago: 'We will play a double-header with Philadelphia tomorrow and will then lose the ball park for the rest of I he season. It is our desire to comply romptly with Secretary Baker's rul ing on baseball." CHICAGO, July 20. A message to all llub owners in the American League, isking them if they were willing to Iibide by Secretary Baker's order at .nee, was sent today by President Ban (ohnson. The action of the Cleveland lub in closing tomorrow is the first esult of the message. Players Can't Stand "Fuslsc" "My men told me that they woull not are to stand on the field and have Jnather-lunged fans shout at them to Fir the Cleveland club, in discussing the l cision to suspend tomorrow. "I agreed i 'iieiti my Willi lilt: men. lucy ui o Ail VJrepared to step into new work." jf Reports in baseball circles here that ii ciiori wuuiu ue mauB iu Keep cignL . lubs going, by uaing players from the I wo major leagues who do not come inder the new regulations could not be Lonfirmed by officials. Baseball men declared that if club Kwners should decide to continue oper ation thoy would have to do so with nly a small number of their present -layers. Less than 59 of the players -re outside the draft age. Walter Craighead, secretary of the Chicago Nationals, said he could not aay definitely that tomorrow will be put last game, but It looks to me that there will be no baseball next week." President Johnson later sent a call lo the American League club owners for a meeting at Cleveland Monday loon to determine what action should e taken in connection with Secretary laker's order classing baseball as a lion-essential. CINCINNATI, July 20. August Herr- lannn, chairman of the National Com mission, gave out the following state ment today relative to the "work or :ght order, as it concerns baseball: Herrmann Wants Reasonable Time. , "My Judgment Is that the two major eagues should put the matter up to he proper authorities at once to find ut whether we will be given a reason ble time to adjust, and if necessary lose out business, or whether we shall lose at once. "The players, without doubt, will fol ow the order to a man, but after all, believe they should be given time to ut their house in order and to seek ssential occupations. In my opinion. to action should be taken until we Vnow positively whether it is the wish f the War Department that the men CIWCCII LUC jlgCS ML X HIIU Oi UC CUllCd way from baseball on the instant."

SAUVIES ISLAND OBJECTIVE Government Dredge Creates New Bay at Willamette's Mouth Many New Names Added to Roster or Popular Outing Club. The fourth number on the Portland Motorboat Club's schedule of cruises for the Summer will be pulled off to day at the mouth- of the Willamette River. To assist the club's navigators and their frlende in finding the spot, here are the detailed directions: Qo straight down to the mouth of the Willamette, and then down the Columbia for proba bly an eighth of a mile, and you will find a. small bay on the Sauvies Island shore 'and there you are. It is the lower end of what used to be Nigger Tom Island channel, but it has since been filled up by the Government dredges and there is now a dandy small bay, protected from the wash of parsing steamers and with a meadow and shade trees for your picnics. Captain Smith Discoverer. It Is very easy to find and makes an ideal spot for a picnic. Captain Jim Smith, of Keno II, found the place and recommended It to the committee, so all kicks are to be directed his way and the praise and glory is his, also. Peggy II and the "Vice-Corn." will be there Saturday night, ate usual, and it is hoped, will have a good crowd to keep him company. On the last cruise to the mouth of the river, all hope for Saturday night company had been abandoned until at 2:00 G. M.

JULY SEVERAL HUNDRED HAPPY YOUNGSTERS TAKE TO THE WATER IN racket, Skipper Woods and the Mignon arrived on the scene. This is fine, if you like It, but bard on the nerves next day. The P. M. B. Club's membership roll continues to grow, 11 more new mem bers having been added at last week's meeting of the board of trustees. This makes a total of nearly 40 new men added since the campaign was started and testifies to what can be done with a little steam and push by the motor boat men. No Fre Schemes Used. These new members did not come In the club under any "free" scheme usually used to attract new members, but each paid his initiation fee. This means real, active members and not the class of people who often join & club for nothing, paying possibly one month's dues and then Are lost forever. The usual activity In water and motorboating sports has been greatly curtailed this season, as a consequence of so many of the club skippers going to war. For this reason, the regular programme of regattas and races will probatoly have to be given up and more attention than ever centered on the cruises. O. A. C. MAN IS HONORED Physical Education Association Ends Sessions at Berkeley. BERKELEY, CaL. July 20. Ths first annual convention of the Western divi sion of the Physical Education Associ ation closed a two days' session here Friday with the adoption of resolutions and the election of officers for the year. Salt Lake was chosen as the meeting place for the 1919 convention. C J. Hunt, of the University of Washington, was elected a member of the camp athletics section of the board of directors. Dr. A. D.

Miss Olffo Dorfner, of Philadelphia, bolder of the American women's swimming title for the 40-yard and 100-yard dash, today established a new American record here by swimming 100 yards in 1:06 2-6 in an outdoor tank. The new record clips three-fifths of a second off Miss Dorfner'a former record and is within two-fifths of a second of the women's world record, held by Miss Fannie Iu rack, of Australia. WHO ARE "HITTING THE PILL." RIGHT AL WALTERS. ETTIXG Y" TO GET Veteran Pugilist Will Help Fit Boys in France. MANY OLD-TIMERS GOING Jack MacAullffe, TTndefeated Light weight Champ, Also Comes Into Fold Bobby Walthour, of Cycling Fame, Enlists. Tom Sharkey is going to France and in the uniform of the T. M. C. A. Tea, the T. M. C. A. It may be hard to believe that this one time rather un couth man-o'-warsman, heavyweight pugillstio contender and saloon-keeper should take to T. M. C A. work, but It Is a fact, nevertheless. It Is just an other one of those personal revolutions which may be credited to this war. Ever since his saloon in Los Angeles proved a financial failure about a year ago Tom has been trying to get into some active branch of the military service. He turned to his old love, the Navy, but it would not have him, for Tom will be 45 next Fall he was born on November 28. 1873. And. by the way, Sharkey saw the light in Ireland in Dundalk and he was spoiling for a part in the big shindig. Piatt Adams Startled. When the current drive of the T. M. C. A. for directors and secretaries for overseas service began Sharkey saw his long-sought chance to get over there and decided to seize it. The other day he went to Piatt Adams, at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters on Madison avenue. New York, and startled the one-time Olympic champion with an application for service "and the sooner the bet ter." Tom Gallagher, himself a pugil istic figure of some prominence in other days, brought. Sharkey to the Y. M. C A. Tom Is admirably fitted for certain work among the soldiers. Me may not be equipped for tea parties and the like, but he is the rough, yet the right sort clear eye, chest like the bellows at the village smithy, a bit grlsxled. yet Just as handy as ever with the mitts. And Tom should not have any trouble In living on the Y. M. C. A. allowance. Sharkey will go over there with the advantage that all the boys will know him at least by reputation. Tom used to be about as good a heavy as there was and he came within an ace of reaching the- championship goal, too. There are many who still believe that George Slier erred when, he declared Jim Jeffries the winner after that memorable battle at Coney Island on November 3, 1899. For 26 rounds they fought like wildcats, and when it was over Jeffries had more evidence of having been in a fight than he had got in previous contests or In those which he fought afterward. MeAnllffe Golna; Too. Another prominent figure In the box ing world. Jack McAulltfe, who held the title of lightweight champion of Amer ica when he retired from the ring, joined the ranks of the Red Triangle workers recently. He came into the office of the recruiting committee only a few minutes after Sharkey had left. With McAullffe and Sharkey in the fold, things are sure to hum pugillstlc ally when these famous old-time boxers arrive abroad. It Is quite likely that when Bharkey goes over there he will meet an. old orony In the person of Sam Fltzpatrick. Sam, who managed Sharkey when Tom went over to London to fight Gus Ruhlln during the coronation festivi ties In 1902, applied to the Knights of Columbus for a position as overseas secretary. Fltzpatrick, who is one of the last survivors of the old guard and is about 60, gained his greatest fame as the man who piloted Jack Johnson to the heavyweight championship. Twenty-two years ago Fltzpatrick took Kid Lavlgne to London, where he whipped Dick Burge for the world's lightweight title. This ohamplonshlp never left America until Willie Ritchie went to London and dropped it to Fred die Welsh. However, the title is back 1 c SHARKEY 21. 1918, THE PENINSULA PARK PUBLIC READY FOR A PLUNGE. -THIS IS here again because of Leonard's con quest of the Briton. Sam also once managed Peter Jack son. He handled him in his fight with Jim Corbett tn the memorable 61-round draw before the California Athletic Club, of San Francisco. He took Peter to London in 1890. where he defeated Jim Smith, then heavyweight champion of England. Miss Rosenthal and Jones Win. NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y, July 20.

Vadefeatet Oscar to Twirl. Oscar Harstad. St. Helens' best bet. will probably be on the mound for the visitors. The tall right-hander has not been defeated this season and is in the best of condition. Frank Rapp, star Cornfoot southpaw, or "Suds" Sutherland, the curve ball artist, will be on the mound for Cornfoot. Rapp lost his initial start last Sunday, but. at that. Is considered one of the best southpaws In the circuit and should he be right, it will take a whole lot of energy on the part of St- Helens to beat him. Sutherland has not lost a game during the second half of the season, having five scalps to his credit. Foundation and Columbia, who will furnish the first game, are both In good trim and, even though Columbia River is last, it expects to put up a hard fight against the champions of the first half of the season. CJrant Smith-Porter and Peninsula will tangle at St. Johns. They are both tied with one victory out of six and are going to make a hard fight to get out of the second division. The teams are evenly matched In batting and fielding strength, but St. Johns seems to have an edge on the pitchers. Barnaul Slated for Slab. Should Wayne Barham's flipper be In good condition, he will have the Penin sula boys swinging the air, as Wayne Is champion strike-out king of the cir cuit. The only thing that Wayne needs to keep In winning form la enough exercise on his muscles. Work ing all week and pitching on Sunday Is not getting the best of results. Rube Maxmeyer will probably op pose Smith-Porter. Rube has been the hard-luck pitcher of the circuit, pitch ing fine ball as a whole, but blowing up in one inning. Should he overcome that weakness he will surprise all of them. Standlfer and Supple & Ballln will cross bats at Vancouver. Manage Rogers, of Supple & Ballin, will prob. ably start Davies. the Indian southpaw, on the mound. Either Plllett or Kxause will hurl for Vancouver. MOUNT ANGEL TOM IS FAST Only Defeat of Season Suffered at Hands of Gervals Nine. MOtTNT ANGEL. Or.. July 20. (Spe cial.) The Mount Angel baseball nine returned home defeated but not dis heartened after the fast Gervals team had taken the long end of a 16 to 11 score. This is the first defeat which the Mount Angel boys have tasted this season. The loss was due not so much to lack of consistent hitting ability as to poor judgment shown in the fielding of the players. Alfred Oswald, the local twlrler. per formed well on the mound, but was un able to annex a victory with the sup port he received during the game. John Dunn, a Mount Angel College ath lete, starred in the infield. Out of six times to bat Bucchelt poled four hits. He has proved this season to be the best batter on the team. For the winning team John Vander back and Ted Johnson formed the bat tery. The former stopped several Mount Angel men from stealing sec ond. Ed Krause. shortstop for Ger vaia, played a good game. A return game has been arranged by the two teams to be played at Mount Angel In the near future. OFFICERS TO STAGE CARNTVAIi Civilians and Army Men to Yle In Water Frograrame. TACOMA. Wash.. July 20.
