Dug-dale,-the Seattle National league man ager, has paid one short visit to the cit jv. try ing to undo the damage done by Fisher to-the Lucas-Dugdalei interests. Me succeeded but lndlflterently. Presi dent Lucas, who has been confined to his house constantly since his -.return frdm Milwaukee, recovering from his se ver .'attack of typhoid fever, walked down' town for the first time and. had a conference ' with Dugdale lu a hotel. What- they confided to each other no one but they themselves know, but the outlook for the National league is cer tainly a dark one. At the close of the eeaanM oiim A , Infliianllal hall - f nllnwAM tKV-MWU UUIw AJIIIUVUiMiil VbA, WW TV W were made to believe that , the broken fortunes of the . old National league could bel recuperated before the new beason would open. But these promises have riot been ful filled and everybody Is now drifting toward the Coast league idea.. In fact, Dave Evans and other, prominent baseball-men say that unless the Coast league gets into Tacoma, 'none of their money will help support a ball team in this city. Fisher , is frank enough to say-that, he has no money himself that 8ucramento has almost cleaned him out but he has ' plenty ; of friends who re willing to support him financially to the "end of their pocketbooks. In fact Fisher came to Tacoma with letters of ' introduction and recommendation from a dozen prominent business men of Port-, land. 'Mique seems ame to maae xrienas anywhere and he has certainly left a host of them In Tacoma, y v Dugdale while here 'reiterated his de nial of the statement that he would ac cept the presidency of the Coast league in order to end the wsr tn Seattle. He practically admits that Tacoma is lost to the National League, but ne says ne is In Seattle to stay and cannot be bought off. .- .' y v..,wV;.y rasa Are Wondering. But Tacoma fans are wondering where Dugdale and Lucas are going to get oft With Tacoma lost. Seattle is the only city in, the league west of the mountains left Jn the old circuit Lucas might go Into -.Montana and combine Spokane Butte, Helena and Bait Lake, for those towns all want baseball but seem -destined to be dropped by coast com pany. That would leave Dugdale out In the cold unless he gets into the Coast league while the door Is ; open. Of course a brush league might be formed with Whatcom and Everett, but Dug dale Is too wise for that. " ' In the minds of local random probably the strongest plea for the Coast league side . of the fence Is. . this question; WJltre wouia xacoma w in pennant race in the National league if she were to turn Fisher down?" Spokane, Seattle and the other towns have their teams already practically engaged and the beat men available signed. Here it Is al-raaAw- rteoambeF- and -Tacoma. - has ' no club, no manager, no players, no grounds. It would be another tall-end finish if local capital tried to put in a team in the Paciflo National and the fans 'have had enough of that sort of thing. Fisher, proposes to shift his . team complete," to this city and put the Tigers. Into- the running from the crack of the gun. That looks good, to the fans.-1- -,' ' : The statement from President Wil liams of the Spokane elub has - occa sioned considerable comment in Tacoma. He Was quick to come to the front with the' announcement that the Paciflo Na tional league was not responsible for the -debt-agalnst-the Portland -club.-- He says this case Is all against Lucas, Drake and Grim. If this is so, what a poor prospect for the creditors!. Lucas has not -yet called the ' Paciflo National league meeting. Salt Lake has asked McCloskey to represent the Utah town at this meeting, and has notified him to come West whenever the call is issued. But this meeting; which has al- reaay PCq iMioiyunou, m nut uivBiy lu occur until after the Coast league has . field its annual conference in San Fran cisco and It is known whether Fisher has really captured the Tiger.

MANAGER ELY HAY SECURE RUBE WADDELL Manager Ely of the Portland team Is busily engaged in correspondence with players that he would like to secure for next season's team. The fact that Ely has not as yet been signed for next sea son will no doubt surprise some people. but .it is nevertheless a fact, but that does not hinder him from hustling to secure the men be has in view. Man ager Ely has practically signed Jack Lawler, who is undoubtedly the fastest baserunner on the Coast, having. beaten such men ai Casey, Cutter, Toman and Oscar Jones In both straightaway and .around the sacks events. The .signing of xoung-Druhot is looked upon as an ex cellent move by the looal managers, for this youngster ' has thoroughly demon strated his. ability to piteh during the past season by hlB work In the several so-called :, brush leagues.; Whether he makes good or not, remains with' himself, ana as ne is a nrignt young leiiow ne will readily pay attention to the Instruc tions of Manager Ely and the team cap tain. . . - " : . . The other men who will make their initial in a Portland uniform next season will be a second baseman and a short stop to succeed Andy Anderson and Holl- lngsworth. There was a report circulated that Manager Ely had secured Charlie Babb to play short stop next' season, but it Is not true. ' . Messrs. Ely and Babb have met several times, but have not discussed any proposition of Babb'a signing with the locals. It is not believed that Babb would accept a position on the local nine, were it offered him, for he likes the East and his prospects with New York are the very best. Martin Glendon Is still of the same mind and is anxious to come here next season. It Is possible that he may be accommodated. Rube Waddell is another man who Is likely to wear a Portland uniform, and through Ely's acquaintance with the ec centric southpaw and also his ability to handle him, may secure the Rube for afford. to pay Waddell a handsome salary his (Ely's) team next season. Manager Ely figures that he can easily afford to pay Waddell a handsome salary, as he would be worth all or that as a draw ing card. ; - . -:. '' When the Portland team assembles at Bakerofield next February there will be found as fast a collection of balltossers as any minor league club in the country can boast of. , The-developments of the next few weeks will be eagerly watched by the fans. . , .

The growth' of the .. thoroughbred breeding interest In California has been truly phenomenal, says Ralph Toser. In 1863, or fifty years ago, there were not twenty thoroughbred mares in the state. Now there are over 1,100 stud matrons? nd-CalifornlaTTiairTDoasr'Of the largest stock farm in the world the Rancho del Paso of J. B. Haggln, in Sacramento county as well as one of the best-equipped places of the kind. This stock farm is 44,800 acres in ex tent, has 83 stallions in active service and more- than 400 brood mares. In Kentucky, Mr. Haggln, has fully 260 mares, so that the pioneer lawyer and multi-millionaire breeds far the largest number' of thoroughbreds credited to any one man or firm in the universe. In addition to the thoroughbreds at Rancho del Paso fully 160 trotters are bred every season on the place, while near Bakersfleld he annually rears more than 200 horses-of-all-work Clydesdales, Percherons, Cleveland Bays and mix tures of all, they being at maturity horses that will weigh anywhere from 1,400 to $ 1,800 : pounds.. Sacramento county however, is the 'Yorkshire of California the "horsey" ' county and while there are fully 126 brood mares in Los Angeles county, where is situated Baldwin's. Santa Anita rancho, . Sacra mento can boast of quite four times that number. Probably ' Fayette county, Kentucky, would be the only county in any state in this country that might possibly eclipse Sacramento county, Cal If or n la, In the production of thorough. breds, and the Golden state ranks sec ond to the grand old commonwealth in the raising of thoroughbred horses. ' Bearing Thoroughbreds. ' , We rear thoroughbred horses as far north as Siskiyou and Humboldt coun ties, and as far south as San Diego,, the southernmost point in . the state,' and all the counties . along - the . western coast raise their share of them, as do most of those on the eastern border, mountainous as it is. The district fairs have done much for the Industry li this state, and -the annual exhibitions of fine stock have stirred up a rlvaly that has been wonderfully beneficial, and at the same time breeders have become more careful as to the pedigrees of the horses on the ranchos. The result Is that California-bred horses are known for their sise and wonderful development at an early age as well as their great beauty and "finish." For the vast amount of money put into the breeding of thoroughbred horses there is less known of the business than of any industry in the known world, bar perhaps mining. Men go In for breed ing on a large scale without even know ing what breeders have had the moat success, let alone what method of breed ing and caring for the stock brought about that state of affairs. There are men in this state breeding race horses on a considerable scale who never heard of Lord Falmouth, the most successful breeder the world - has ever known; never knew of the Middle Park stud in New Zealand, where the great sons and daughters of Musket first saw the' light; never looked into the methods of the Duke of Westminster,. Duke of-Hamilton, Count Lehndorff ' of Germany, C. Bruce Lowe, Mr. White or Frank Rey nolds of Australia, William Allison or Joseph Osborne of England, or America's most successful breeders, August Bel mont, R. A. Alexander, J. M. Clay and rW. O'B. Macdonough. ' Many of our breeders of a few years ago were lucky enough to stumble on a ."good nick," like the Leamington-Lexington and Lex-Ington-Glencoe. Now the erase in Eng land and the colonies Is for the St. 61-mon-Musket cross. orelbei'a Oood Position. Barney Screlber is in position to se cure more youngsters with these crosses than any one in this country because he owns Sain, grandson of St Simon, and has a lot of fillies by Fo Shot, son of Musket At Rancho del Paso they have Bassetlaw, son of St Simon, and have owned Artillery, son of Mus ket, for several years. .Up to the, time of the horse's death Mr. Haggln had Maxim, son of Musket, on the place, and the mating of Bassetlaw with Maxim mares would- make the much-desired "nick." Ed Corrlgan owns two or three St Simon horses and has quite a num ber of Artillery mares, hence he will have his share of flyers with the much desired cross. .;. While they, have been raving over the St. Simon-Musket cross for two or three Veafs past, and it Is undoubtedly a good nick in England. I would like to take the Bend Or-Hanover "nick" for mjme and al most guarantee to get something that was more than fair. Bend Or's sona and grandsons stand out in bold relief as sires in America, Imp. Ben Strome by Bend Or heading the "winning stallions" list of America in 1903 thus far, with imp. Star Ruby (whose dam was by Bend Or and an own sister to Ormonde) second, while imp. Golden' Garter and Imp. Order, as well as tWaJatter'a son. Ornament, rank very hlgh Hanover's sons, Hamburg, Handsome and The Commoner, are making great names for themselves at .the stud, and the Hanover mares are nothing short, of wonderful in the line of producing stake-winners. Imj. Ormonde, "the horse of the cen tury," for which W. O'B. Macdonough gave $160,000 and sent to England from Buenos Ayres, thence to California, Is a son of . Bend Or, and nearly everything by htm has proved of more than ordinary caliber, while Orslnl, his son. Is making great fa'me at the stud, with Orstha-, Or gandie, Oroslus, Orfeo and others to credit this season " ' - ; , Xandaoma Xerses. . ' The Bend Or horses are 'the handsom est and topplest .big fellows, in the coun try, end the good looks of the progeny of,-Ormonde and Golden Garter are the talk of racegoers who love a handsome nweliorse with sise and substance. Hon- Hon is a beautiful mare by Ormonde that was sold to P, Ryan a few days ago for 17.000, and which by her subsequent run ning nroved to be wcrtH " twice the amount paid, , while Irldius, a son of Golden Garter by Bend Or, outlpoks any horse of the 1,400 in training hereabouts and runs., about as well as he looks. Dainty: Is" another good Golden Garter flyer. We have -not many Hanover mares in this ' state, but Sloe is the mother of Brunswick apd Orsina, and Sweet Is the dam of the fleet Toluca. Eccenana, In Kentucky, is the. dam of Cursus, a good one this season, Hanna Bell, the dam of Duchesse Hanna, Han narlnda of the grand' colt Arsenal, Han oana of Flamboyant, Hanoletta of Or. letta and Ben Carrick, Helen Mir II of Monomania and Little Boy, Hereuse of Foreigner, Hessle of Merciful, Little In dian, of the good horse' Little Scout, Miss Young of Fancy Maid.

Mack and , Dresden ; China,. Von Hera otAutomaton, .Whyota of the stake colt Whorler and Young Princess Of Ar istocrat, : If there were but Dick Welles and Arsenal from ..these daughters of Hanover, it would be creditable enough, but as none of the above mentioned Were by Bend Or horses, I have an opportu nity to tell whether the theory is cor rect or not. I believe, however, ft would be good advice to, any one embarking in the breeders' ship to buy a son or grand son of Bend Or for their premier stal lion, having a Wenlock or Scottish Chief cross-on the dam's side of the horse, and get all the 'ianover mares possible or mares by sons of Hanover, with Darebin, Longfellow, Lexington and Glencoe blood in profusion in their veins and from producing families of note, than if they would follow the rules laid down by the late Lord Falmouth regarding never mating a stallion and mare in successive years, and when the stud matron gets well along in years to only breeding every , other season, there would be found no one in the land rearing bet. ter racehorses than the person who goes along these Bnes I have mentioned.
