which was carried In the form of aa

measure relieve th situation, but aftei
a oonsult&tlon w:lth the majority atock

LUCAS TO PROTEST ,
TACOMA PLAYERS
(Journal Special Service.)
Spokane, Feb. 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. !
This plan Is presented thus early for
your careful consideration and sugges
tions, ,
" Respectfully submitted,

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."

t Paris. Feb 6. -The recent champion
ship billiard match between Maurice
Vignaux of France and George Sutton,
the American, which ended in a victory
for , Vignaux by four, pointa, the score
being 600 to 496, is still the- talk of the
cafea and hotels where Americans are
seen. " ... . "-'
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. AVhen 100 waa called
more applause took place,-and,: It was
not until he' had made 128 that he failed
over an easy straight ; carom. ,
' Vignaux was , now BO' behind, but he
soon compiled a half century and caught
and passed the. American, r but at 79
missed a long shot, but left the balls
awkwardly placed. ' Button scored one,
but that was all.. .
Both players now showed slight signs
of ' nervousness. Suttou t suffering
greatly (rom the heat.., The, American,
after a miss by Vignaux... began what
was expected to be his final Innings,
and after a carefully' put' together '47
"four 'to win" was called. With, victory
In - his grasp, ""life American came " to
grief over a none too 'simple maaae.
Thla "cost him,' the championship,' for
Vignaux, amid almosl breathless silence;
and playing, with the greatest prudenae,
compiled the needed 23 pointa and won.
. Sutton was the first -to grasp his hand
and," whi)e'(the cheering, which lasted
fully two mlnutea, was being Indulged
In. both playera were simply mobbed,
and ' it ia doubtful ' to. say .which re
ceived the most congratulations Vig
naux on account of his victory or Sutton
for his stubborn uphill defense. ,l . -
,.v In tho opinion of good judges : the
men, 'although belonging to the' old and
the new schools, are about . of equal
strength, and It is generally regretted
that the championship has to be con
fined to one night's playi 'That the best
two out of three matches would be a
far ... more accurate method of Judging
the men's real talent 1s shown, by the
fact' that It was only after they became
accustomed to the table that they began
to play In something like true form..
However, , on March 4,, In the . same
hall, on the same table, i Vignaux and
Sutton will again do- oattlethls time

On'account of a dispute regarding bas
ketball, games between Willamette uni
versity and Dallas college, In which the
latter was at-cuaed of having :"cold feet,"
the athletic student body ?f. Dallas col
legs requests the publication of the fol
lowing letter of -explanation, .giving the
full account of the controversy:
-i Dallas; Feb. l.-rTo the Sporting Edi
tor of .The journal. 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.. Furthermore, Dallas college stands
ready at any time to meet Willamette's
team, and will give her a chance to win
the title' she aspires for the basketball
champions of Oregon. - ; ; .

Last night the All-Stars "made good"
amidst the cheers of the spectators as
sembled to see them "do or die."
They defeated the Willamette univer
sity in one of the hardest played games
of basketball pulled off in Portland this
season, with a final score of 26 to 17.
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.. Whenever the
nail came into , Willamette's territory,
before it could be thrown and whichever
way th men would turn there was al
ways an animated field of blue with a
whit atar on It and a pair of sinewy
arms blocking the way. - -
Doc Thornton, as forward, played th
star game for Portland, scoring six
goals. It seemed as though tha more in
terference there was the better he
played, i Mackle twisted his knee early
in the game and was badly handicapped
but h was there With tha arnnHu whan l
rearms -to - tosslnirthebasketsrfom the
ioui -me, scoring eight out of 12 throws.
Connell and Lirwengardt were all that
coma do aeairea as guards and were al
ways on hand when needed. 1 Freeman
played a splendid game as center agalnat
Pollard, the biggest man on the Salem
team, ; and also threw . two pretty field
goala. Applause greeted his performance.
