top a conference with Henry Harris and
. other Coast league magnates,; D. K. 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

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-

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)

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 " ' - ; ,

Hon is a beautiful mare by Ormonde that

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,

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
