The aignlng of Dany man and Nordyke with the Taooina team in tha Pacific Coast league will be pro tested by President W, H. JLucas of the P, N: U, who haa arrived in this city and will, make' hla headquarters her from now 6n. He will move his family- her and direct hla league from this point. Ha has doubts whether hla pro test against Nordyke and Damman will do much, good, but he decided to, make the protest anyway. - According to Lucas the coast league got a great deal mare than it really expected at the Ban Fran cisco conference, and that it did not look very promising .for the inland league. , , ; "- , Mr. Lucas says he has not yet been notified as to the meeting at San Fran cisco, but from what he has learned the ooast league will be able to keep all the playera It haa signed. ' This year It wilt mean ' a sacrifice to the minor leagues, but as the coast league wouM have retained the playera if they had that , their present stock bears to the stock of the new organization. .This', method Insures to each stock holder the same Interest he now hold In the association at a cost no greater than his proportion of the Indebtedness. ' The holders of a majority of the stock have waived their right to subscribe in favor of the Messrs. Kly and promises have been secured that all stock not taken by the present stockholders within a reasonable time, to be fixed by resolu tion at your meeting, of February 10, wUl be siifmcrlbed The situation for the coming season i . wholly changed; there is no opposi tion In . any of the league cities, and Sacramento,, which last year was a drag upon the entire league, has been re placed by Tacoma,, which, with the most centrally located . grounds in the league circuit, will undoubtedly materially aid In the success of the. season. Manager Kly has signed a "team of players, who, upon their past records. will certainly keep Portland well to th front throughout the . entire season, while the fact that the club Is about to enter organized baseball will avoid the necessity of expensive experiments and iossejr and give a stability to th leagua It haa not heretofore had. - ' Va hay aecured a lease on th pres ent grfuhda for . the next three years, and ttiere is every, reason to believe that the coming season will be profita ble while the season of 1906 cannot fall 0 make a record in attendance" with a profit in excess, of anything heretofore known in the northwest. !

SKIJORING IN : , v , I not entered the organisation, It will not be so severe as it looks on the face Of It. In speaking .of the meeting Mr. Lucas stated his views about as fol lows: ( i ''In the end It will be a good thing for baseball. It . will mean that there la now ' no place, for players to' Jump, and the managers can now get together and fix th salaries so th clubs can make a little money,; Not that all ballplayers are getting more money than they de serve, but while there Is a place to, Jump any player will demand a large salary. Aa it. is now the man will draw 'What he Is worth. r . " . "The coast league 'haa been " giyen about all it could ask, and la, In a. po sition to draft players-from the leaguea under it. I understand that Morley of the Los Angeles team says he will not give up a player he has signed, so the National and American leagues will have to lose a man or two , in order to, have peace. "In the end it will be better to have the- coast league In, however, and I am glad such a conference was held." ARE PRACTICALLY ASSURED OF TOURNEY (Journal Special Serrlca.) Pendleton, Or.; Feb. .

Since Abrama had been Informed of Pendleton's offer ' the local association agreed to add $200 more to the offer, making it $800 added money. By reason of the removal to Portland of F. F.

" ... . "-' No such .exciting championship match haa s ever been seen in Paris. It took p)ace in the -banquet hall of the Orand cafe. Every seat was occupied, , the spectators being a critical body com posed of members of the Jockey club and other leading clubs. , m;' Darantiere acted as referee and Introduced , the 'players, at :1B o'clock. Sutton won the bank and missed the opening shot. It was evident the cush ions ; were suffering from atmospheric conditions and for awhile both men were all at sea on the new table. It took Sutton nine Innings .to complete 110 to hla opponent's 58. . Vignaux however, soon xound strength, and . In the three following essaya made 76, 10, and a ' beautifully complied 146. The run of 146 was remarkable for aome brilliant open play at the 00m- int, but when be once got the balls well together at the bottom left hand aide of the table he kept sending them one after the other on systematlo visits to the other, side of the balk line and bringing them back from the cush ion with wonderful precision. It looked as if he . might go on forever when a kiss placed the balls awkwardly and the champion broke down. At the end of this -run the marking board showed Vig naux. 290, averaging 24 2-12; Sutton 1S8, average 12 9-12. ' Oh resuming, the play' for seven in nings waa poor, Vlgnaux's break of 29 being the best made; but in his twenti eth ' essay Sutton, by a clever masse, got the balls In a bunch and, with the stylish execution for which lie Is re nowned, be put together 87, this bring ing his score to .301, aa against his ri val's 858. ' ' .Sutton oa War "rata.., ' Nothing more of Importance occurred until the twenty-fourth inning, when Sutton again went' on the war path, and when, at the marker's call of .78, hp tied with Vignaux, a deafening cheer went up, for, although a majority of those prosent were on the French side, they were none else than good sportsmen' for that It' never fluttered Sutton, who kept peglng away.

Some correspond ence recently appeared In an' evening contemporary as coming from Willam ette university, to the effect that the manager of the Dallas college basketball team had called off the scheduled game arranged with the university. The Sa lem correspondent further says that Dal las claims the, championship" of Oregon, which she has no right to do, v -. t ,The -truth of th matter, is this: The Dallas college basketball team did have a game scheduled for Friday evening, Feb ruary S. and the Dallas manager called tije game on, not because .the Dallas team had "cold faet," as Inferred from that correspondent, but because she had a game scheduled with th Multnomah Athletic club for Saturday -evening, Feb ruary ,6, and the manager did not think th . team would - be iu -condition- for-the two games, coming, as they 40, so close together. The game with jMultnomah was arranged during the Christmas holi days, and therefore takea 1 precedence over th one arranged with Salem. As to Dallas college claiming the baa ketball championship for the state of Oregon, they do claim that honor, be cause of the fact of their having de feated the Portland AU-Star team; th former champions,, and the; holders of that title. Pallas defeated the Corvallis team', who were also victorious over the All-Stars. True, Willamette defeated the Corvallls team on their own floor, by. the close score of IS to 14, while Dallas won over the same team by a score of 14 to 4. , This alone, would indicate the su periority of the Dallas team. . . , . Th Willamette, team 'has In the past generally played Ub games on paper, and is now ruahliig Into print for that pur pose..

The Salem boys' have th ' heaviest team that has visited 4he association this year, and upon their appearance on the floor, It seemed to most of the basket ball experts present that the All-Stars had a very slim chance,' and when tha whistle blew at the end of the first half the score stood eleven-all. - ' v In the second half the faithful pracT' tice Of the All-Stars he can tn tell Th seemed to be everywhere..
