VALLEY MAY HAVE
SIX-CLUB LEAGUE
(Journal Special Service.)
Eugene, Or., Jan. 21. Word has beon
received here that PresldentTurner of
the Willamette Valley Baseball league
has called a meeting- or the several
clubs to be held In Albany next Sunday
, afternoon at 4 o'clock. - -
At present the league consists of Eu
gene, Roseburg, Albany and Salem, but
, it Is understood -that an effort will be
. made at the Albany meeting to make It
. six-league dub, taking In Oregon City
,and Vancouver, fir a team from Portland.
.i It is said, that Albany persists in making
the league strictly amateur, but the other
5 towns wllk not listen to the proposition.
, Aioany may reiuse to enter ine league
, ' on that account, and in that event the
league can be reorganised With the towns
r.amed. . ,
, .The proposition has been suggested to
play four- games a week instead of two,
as last year, which meets with approval
In Eugene. While the midweek games
would not be as well attended in Ej-
. gene as the Sunday games, they, would
draw better than the games on Saturday,
as the business men are unable to leave
their work on, that, their busies day.

PROPOSE TO LENGTHEN
NORTHWEST SEASON
(Journal Special Service.) ' ; v
". Spokane, Jan. 21.-C. H,. Williams
president of the local baseball club, has
returned from the -directors' meeting at
Butte, and says everything looks fine
for a good season. - McCloskey . and
Laicas are now" in Ogden, where a club
will be formed and the $1,000 forfeit de
posited to flnlBh the season. '
Mr. Williams says the schedule com
mlttce has about completed - the pro
gram, but there are a few details yet
to be arranged, which can better ' be
completed after the schedule of th
railroads are made out for. th present
year. v : . :
One of '' the most 'Important , changes
of plans made by the schedule commit
tee was the lengthening of the season.
It was at first proposed to have but a
four months' season, but there may be
five, and a half now. it was , decided
by the committee that the season would
last at least five months, and it is, likely
to run two weeks over that time, s
This will offer ' an Incentive for
players who might not care to sign for
a shorter season. ? President Williams
says he Is receiving a great many ap
plications from players and will have
no trouble in getting up a team-
! Old Matt Stanley, the Seattle catcher,
who was ranked at the head in that de
partment last season, ' has written to
Williams for a Job and there are
numerous others In the same frame of
mind. "
Mr. Williams stated that he bad not
heard of Pammann's and Nordyke's
Jump, but that they would most likely
be back before the season was well ad
vanced. It now , looks as- though the
California league and the National as
sociation, would come to an agreement,
rf such is the case Dammann and Nor
dyke will be returned to Spokane. Wil
liams received a letter from Durrett
recently In which ; the center fielder
stated that he would be with the In
dians again this' season., - f '
President Lane of the, Butts clufc In
trodueed a resolution at the Butte meet
ing providing that any player drafted
and Jumping from any club would have
to make his peace with that club before
being allowed to play with any other
team In the league.
The pennant was formally awarded to
Butte and 50 appropriated to buy the
flag.. Ogden wired that the club there
had the 11.000 forfeit ready to deposit
and Lucas and McCloskey left for that
town as soon as the Butte meeting was
over. .

Owing to the Dugdale proposition,
matters iri local baseball circles have
come to a standstill as far as the sign
ing of players , is concerned. Manager
Ely has been busy signing players and
was in correspondence wita several
crackerjack ball tossers when the usual
"butt in" atactics of some of the. local
magnates again made Itself evident by
proposing to allow the man who-' cost the
Coast league some $50,000 or more by
his .opposition, in Seattle last summer,
to come here and secure a good .thing
by' Investing' in the Portland club.". The
proposing of the Seattleite as a mag
nate has precluded any further negotia
tions at present for players and prob
ably by the time the local: magnate
perfect' arrangements with either Dug
dale or Ely, all the good players will
have been gobbled up and Portland left
out of the race In the matter of secur
ing talent '
Dugdale Betum to Seattle.
Mr. Dugdale has announced his 'inten
tion of leaving Portland this afternoon,
returning whence vbe came, Seattle.
As nothing; can be learned regarding
what arrangements he made with the
local people, it Is a matter of conjec
ture as to whether he has been taken1
Into the fold or not .
Some people say that Dug had ' the
baseball situation in Seattle In the palm
of his hand;. Perhaps he did, but peo
ple, that Is people wno are out for the
coin like the Seattleite, , o noli let a
good thing like that ' get out of their
hands, , unless they see defeat ahead of
them. . ' ..
As has been stated' In these columns
before, Dugdale did not sen out his
Seattle Interests un he found the Pa
cific Nationals to be on their last legs,
when Tacoma came over to .the coast
organization.
Onoe Dog-dale Bef used Enough.
Dugdale was offered a chance-to get
in out of the. wet when the Coast
league announced Its Intention of invad
ing Seattle, but he preferred to oppose
them at that ' time, and now that Ta
coma has deserted the' Lucas standard
and caused the Nationals to confine
themselves to the east of the. mountains
portion of that territory, Dugdale, like
the fox he is. wants to affiliate with the
victorious parties, and as Seattle does
not seem to want him,.; he naturally
seeks the next best town In his estlma- i
tion in the northern circuit. There la
also another phase , to the question.
Dugdale may have been importuned by
the local organization,'' that ip the- por- j
tion of the local club that 'Imagines it
understands all matters pertaining to
the successfully organizing of a ball
team on cheap basis, to take hold of
the local team and run it in a Dugdalian
manner, which in this city would mean
into the ground, for .ne local fantr won't
stand.. fov A cheap, team ,of the Lucas
league order, and unless a first-class
itsam -capable ot holding 'its own with
tho other coast organizations' is pre
sented, baseball will again become a
dead issue.
A first-class ball club composed of
such men as the present manager has
had in view would not only make money
for the local magnates, but would prove
one of the best advertisements this city
could , have, in view of the ' coming
Lewis and Clark exposition.
The local magnates had ,iier come
to an understanding immediately, for In
about 10 days it is possible that this
league may affiliate with the National
association, and upon such an event
taking place, where will Portland get a
team? ,- , , , . "

Seattle, Jan. 21. Testimony tending
to show negligence on the part of some
member of the ' engine crew of the
wrecked steamship Clallam may soon
be brought out at the Inquiry conducted
by Inspectors Whitney and Turner.
While the inspectors have hot as yet
secured positive evidence that the sea
cock was left open, the testimony of
several witnesses shows that something
went radically wrong below the main
deck on the day of the terrible catas
trophe. William Cox, at one time first assist
ant engineer on the vessel, was recalled
and Questioned regarding the piping and
the working of the pumps In the Clal
lam. Chief uu,neer DeLaunay asked
him several questions, but no new facts
were brought out regarding the con
struction of the pumps.
In answer to questions. Cox testified
that two deaonghts in the ship had been
out of order. One In the engine room
broke , tho day of the disaster. The
other light was in the forecastle. .

was there to answer questions and not
to advance theories.
Water From Deadlight
Matlck "said that he noticed water
coming Into the flreroom from the
bunkers when the vessel was about an
hour out of Port Townsend. It was his
watch, and he was on duty at his post
He told of water coming Into the ship
through the engine room deadlight.
"How do you know the water was
coming InT Wasn't there a bulkhead
between you and the light?" asked In
spector iurner.
"Can't I walk Into the engine room
If I want tor curtly replied Matlck.
Inspector Turner did not see the Im
portance of the fireman's testimony and
Inspector Whitney took up the Invest!'
gatlon. He brought out -ae fact that
all the water in tho ship was aft and
that late lu the day Matlck did not see
any on the tipper deck. The forward
part of the ship was clear even after
the three boats had been launched.
It is the desire of Marine Inspectors
Whitney and Turner to have all sur
vivors of the wrecked steamship Clal
lam give testimony in the examination
into the cause of the disaster now being
conducted.
Mr. Turner said this afternoon that It
was his desire to question the survivors
closely and that it would probably throw
more light on the investigation if they
could be In uendance.
The llrst day Survivors Bennett and
Hewitt were in attendance but they
were not examined. It Is likely that
several of the passengers will be catted
tomorrow. It is now believed the In
quiry will last through Thursday and
Friday.
