BY L. II. GREGORY.
IT IS becoming increasingly ap
parent that Judge McCredie has
no present Intention of selling the
Portland baseball franchise. There
was a time a couple of months ago
when he probably would have sold
had what he considered the right
offer come along. Now the Judge
has squared his Scotch Jaw and de
cided to stick it through.
It is becoming almost as apparent
that Walter McCredie will not man
age next year's team, even if the
Judge does own it. Walt has a Scotch
Jaw, too, an even more prominent and
protuberant Scotch Jaw than the
Judge's, but he figures he has taken
about enough punishment. Then both
he and the Judge Incline to the be
lief that the fans will take more
kindly to a continuation of .McCredie
ownership if Walt accepts the role
of goat and turns over the pilot's Job
to some one else.
Walts theory is that a manager
should be the goat anyhow. As he
remarked some weeks ago In an in
terview in this column: "If I owned
a baseball club myself I would figure
on making the manager the goat and
firing him every two or three years.
Even when a club is winning that
Is about long enough for one man to
handle the same team. The fans
nave to have a goat, and the manager
Is the handiest man. And here I
have been at the helm of one, club
for 17 years!"
Of course this programme might
be changed and Walter might again
handle the reins. But he has no
present intention of doing It, that
much is sure. He did not want to
manage the club this year did it
only because the Judge begged him
to. He had already signed the nice,
fat contract that Hill Kenworthy fell
into after his withdrawal, to manage
the Seattle club. His name was on
there in good black ink, and he had
to get President Klepper to release
him from it before he could take
over the Portland Job again. It's a
safe bet he wishes he hado't been
so obliging,
There are numerous signs, very
plainly to be read, that the Judge
has made up his mind to hold on.
One is that he is looking around for
a new ball park.
His lease on the Vaughn-street ln
closure, which Is owned by the Port
land Railway, Light & Power com
pany, expires this winter. While he
no doubt could get that lease re
newed he Isn't sure that he wants to.
?'he foundry in the old Lewis Clark
air grounds Just north of the right
field fence has a habit of firing up
on ball game afternoons and belching
a cloud of brown smoke tnat the
least whiff of northerly breeze wafts
down on the diamond. Sometimes
this smoke is - so thick that the
pitcher m'ght pose for a movie scene
from Dante's Inferno.
The other day the Judge took an
automobile ride to the east side with
a real estate man and looked over a
site that would make a fine ball park.
It isn't far out, either.
Then ever and anon the Judge men
t'ens somebody or other who might
make a good manager for the club.
One he has mentioned frequently is
B!ll Speas. Bill, as a Portland out
fielder, for many years was a mighty
popular player here. He retired long
before his sun had set In the coast
! league to manage the. Reglna club of
' the Western Canada league Bill Is
I an ambitious chap and not at all
I shiftless and Improvident, like the
I average ballplayer. He Is thinking
of tomorrow an tne time ana wants
to rise as a manager, so for that rea
son was perfectly willing to learn the
ropes in an abscure circuit.
A few weeks ago the Reglna club
blew up and Bill was put of a Job
He went to Joplln, in the Western
league, to finish the season there as
a player, but with the proviso that
he is a free agent thereafter. He will
return to Portland, as usual, to wln
ter.
More than once the Judge has said
"What would you think of Bill Speas
as manager next year? Don t you
think he would go pretty will with
the fans?" All of which indicates
something or other.
Then about the"sile of ballplayer.
This eruption toy Prexy Klepper to
the effect that Plllette -nd Syl John
son should bring (50,000 from some
major-league club Is extravagantly
far-fetched. They are good prospects,
tiue enough, but not $50,000 prospects.
Neither are there $80,000 worth of
ballplayers on the Portland club or
1.' there are, then there are $10,000,000
worth of ballplayers In the San Fran
cisco or Los Angeles or Sacramento
clubs, and aged Sam Crawford ought
to sell for a couple of hundred thou
sand fish despite his spavined legs.
It Is quite true that a lot of major
league clubs want Plllette. and It also
Is true that the big boy is about
ripe to go up, and that with a good
team behind him he should be a sweet
pitcher. It further is true that Syl
Jchnson is a good prospect and some
day will make his mark In the majors,
though he still has some distance to
go. But as $50,000 ballplayers well,
they are hardly that. Not yet.
But to return to the subject. Fur
ther Indicating the Intention of the
Judge to keep the team is his frequent
remark that if he sells Plllette or
Johnson or Cox or anybody else to a
major league ball club It will not be
until he knows in writing the names
of the ball players who will be sent
west In payment therefor. No more
Chicago Cubs or Detroit promises,
says the judge. Hereafter it is player
for player, and men who unquestion
ably make good. No more being
caught with a bush league lineup.
This shows a certain change of
heart and policy on the part of the
judge. Of course the solution the
fans all want is to have the Judge
sell. They want new blood In the
ownership, no question as to that.
But If he is bound and determined to
keep the club, and that now seems
certain, It Is a little bit encouraging
to know that he really Intends to
get some ball players who can give
this city a team.
"You, Smith, fall on that ball! Fall
on itl I said fallonit! Don't be afraid
of it! Say, that ball can't bite you!
Oh, Great Scott! G-r-e-a-t S-c-o-t-t!"
Yep. you guessed it. Football, of
course. The Intercollegiate season
officially opens next Thursday. From
then .n the vnl ..r na.u .m
- . . . . . Luawil ii,
I sound raucously through the land.
At Oregon, at Oregon Agrcllutura
college, at California, at Washington
State, at the University of Washing
ton, at Idaho, at Whitman, at Wil
lamette, at Stanford at every red
blooded college and university the
football candidate this week will
begin a terrific sours of sprouts.
The first practice games are not far
off. Before we know It the season
will be in full swirl and the question
whether Washington State or Oregon
Agricultural college or Oregon can
beat the great California; whether
Ohio State can repeat; whether Yale
can come back, will have more de
baters than the problem of Interna
tional disarmament.
Football! There Is something In
the very name of It to stir the blood.
The epic hand-to-hand ptrugirle of
11 stalwart men against 11 stalwarts
appeals to the primitive lve of com
bat In all of us. Everywhere stadia
are under construction, grandstands
are being enlarged, additional bleach,
ers are rising to accommodate the
crowds. It will be a great football
year.
Center college will not play the
University of Oregon here In a postseason-game.
Jack Benefiel, gradu
ate manager at Oregon, received a
definite negative yesterday to his
query about the chances for a game.
The telegram read: "Unable to play
you in December."
With Washington coy about a post
season game. Centre not available
and other eastera colleges non-committal
or averse to it. chances for a
December match here between Ore
gon and some rood team are not
bright.
Beneflel experts, however, to add
a minor game to the regular Oregon
schedule. He has been asked by Pa
cific university of Forest Grove to
give It a date. October S Is open on
the Oregon schedule, and Coach
Huntington wants a game for that
day to help put his team on edge for
the Idaho game, October IS. So Bene,
field says Pacific probably will !
scheduled for October 8 at Eugene.
Last year Pacific played the Ore
gon freshmen but L. J. Frank, the
new coach at Forest Grove, says his
team Is out of the freshmen classifi
cation this year and must have big
ger game,
While Beneflel was In Seattle rec
ently he discussed with Gradual
Manager Meisnest of Washington a
project for linking the Pacific North
western universities into an Inter
collegiate baseball league with the
Japanese universities, this league to
include Washington, Oregon and one
other northwestern university, and
the three Japanese universities of
Wnseda. Mljtl and Keio.
Waseda toured the United States
this year and Professor Iso Ave, who
chaperoned the team, discussed this
plan at some length with Metsnept.
One result of their conference was
that the Washington baseball team
now is en route to Japan for a series
of games. Merell McGlnnls, manager
of the team, has been authorised to
make arrangements while there for
the formation of the proposed league.
If it is formed, and it very probably
will be, then one Japanese team will
make a trip to the United States each '
year and one northwestern university
team will go to Japan. Under thlr
arrangement Oregon will have her
turn In the Orient either this coming
summer or the summer following.
Shy Huntington, football coach at
Oregon, thinks this will be the best
football season the Pacific coast has
ever had.
"Most of the teams will be stronger,
or at least all the Indications point
that way," said Huntington, "and the
competition will be something fierce.
We will have a better team than last
year: that Is certain. There are not a
great number of veterans on the
squad, but some of the new men give
remarkable promise. Other team will
find them hard to stop and hard to
run over, though I don't say they wilt
not be fooled. They haven't had the
experience yet to enable them to sens
a forward pass before It is thrown,
or a trick play before It Is pulled, so
they may lose their heads on such
things now and then. But after they
get experience they will be tough
customers for any team to beat.
"The Oregon Aggies, I think, alsa
will be considerably stronger than
last season. Washington State has
lost two great players In Hamilton
and Gillis, and you can't replace men
like them. Nevertheless, the Pullman
aggregation should be very formid
able. As for Washington, If Bagshaw
can overcome the hackfleld weakness
of last year, anything may happen,
for Washington had a very strong
line.
"As to California, I somehow don't
agree with the general acclamation
of the Bears as a 'wonder team.' It
was a good team, yes, a team of ma
chinelike precision, but a 'wonder
team.' no. I can't help but think the
Bears were overrated last year and
that they are overrated now.
"Do I think Washington State has
a good chance, to beat them in the
October 29 game in Portland? I do.
A first-class chance. Even Inexperi
enced as our own team will be, I be
lieve we can give them a run for It
(ten wa play at Berkeley Octo
ber 22."
