" 1 MANAGER MOXLEY When the Question of affiliation on the part of the Pacific Coast league with the National association of minor leagues wm being agitated, and Messrs Hart, Hanlon and Johnson appointed as a peace committee to visit the coast and present overtures, Henry Harris ' and his - right -hand man-President-Eugene Bert Instructed Manager Ely as well as the manager of the other clubs, to secure their players by the first of February, and that the league would demand all such players who had signed or ac cepted terms by that time. Mr, Morley of Los Angeles signed Dillon before that date. Manager Ely signed .Castro , and MlKe Fisher signed Damman. mow ac cording to their instructions. Harris and Bert have absolutely no right whatever to cede a single one of these men with out . the . consent of the manager of the club with which the player has signed. The majority vot which relinquished claims to Dillon, Castro and Damman, consisted of Messrs. Harris, Ewlng, Wil son of Seattle and President Bert, "It will be noticed that thla combination does not lose anything In the way of players by the - agreement, although many of the players signed by that club were originally in dispute. Another noticeable part of the trans action Is that Ned Hanlon, who repre sented the minor leagues in the peace conference, is practically the only east ern manager whose players are returned, vis: Dillon to Hanlon's Brooklyn team, and Castro to Hanlon's Baltimore team. ' It appears as If the whole affair were a put up Job on the part of the Cali fornia, magnates to pat Hanlon on tne back and at the same time to cripple the . Portland and Los Angeles teams, to a certain extent, allowing of the Bay .City aggregation and Seattle a. better chance for pennant honors. ' Manager Ely left last evening and upon his arrival In San Francisco Har ris. Bert et al., will receive a few compll meats from him which will make their ears tingle. Incidentally Parke Wilson and Seattle will come In for a lecture also, for Seattle should have been the last club to vote against Portland, be cause this club came to the relief of Seattle last season when that organlsa tion was sadly crippled ' by Jumpers, and rave them Carlos Smith and Charley Zinsaar.

DIAMOND GL1STENINGS Gone. . To sunny climes. We will have Castro anyway. PresidentBert's trick wasnot SO clever. Ned Hanlon made Harris and Bert look like little boys. The Browns will have a winning team no matter what the California magnates may do to prevent it The news of the doings of the Browns, whether at home or abroad, will con tinue to be published every day In The Journal. A large crowd of friends accompanied Fred Ely and his brother Ben to the station last evening to see them oft for California. Those who "bambooiled". the club last year, by purchasing one-share of stock and securing a season pass. to the grounds, will part with many shekels and tears this season. The only reassuring, feature of the throw down handed, Portland la that there is a chance for the acquisition of Castro by purchase, which will probably be the outcome of the present dispute, for the player in question is now on his way to Bakersfleld. Ervell ' Beck, the hard-hltlng second baseman, will positively belong to Port land, and will play under Fred Ely dur ing the cqmlng season or not at all. The peace agreement helps a little. t Andy Anderson joined Henry Harris team yesterday and there remains but one more of HarrU' men to report and his club will adjourn to the training quarters. . . . ." " ' Ham Iberg arrived in Bakersfleld this morning and : joined '. the rest of the Portland team at that place.; Shields, Shea,, Druhot and Drennan arrived there last night.-" - --."' Hanlon did : not' have any claim on Walter McCreedle, for when.the "Judge" was transferred' . to' Baltimore ': : from Brooklyn, it was ' stipulated that he should, be free at the close of the season. GOOD BOWLING PRESIDENT BERT'S ACTION CRITICISED The action of President Bert of the Coast league in waiving all claims to Castro, Dillon and Damman in order to stand well with the eastern magnates, Is the first touch of high life that the Portland, Tacoma and Los Angeles teams have received by casting their fortunes with the National Association of Minor Leagues. This is only the beginning of what will ultimately result in trouble. The scheme from start to finish was a money making proposition, and Hanlon was at the bottom of It. Little does the Brooklyn manager care for Castro, that in securing a claim to him he could af terwards - sell him. Now Manager Ely will secure Castro, anyway, but will be compelled to pay a snug sum of money to Mr. Hanlon. When the minor association officials came to the coast to make . overtures they had a selfish object In doing so. sttsttsBsBiSBBSBBl '. JIM VsV Howard's- Mount That Won the- ABB LOTS TOBIES X.OSIBQ OBABVf In the literary periodicals the opinion is being expressed that the love story is losing its popularity; that "the old, old story" has been worn to death, and will soon be quietly burled to make room for news forms of fiction. It would. Indeed, be difficult to name any popular novelist who hasB estab lished a reputation without the aid of "the little blind god." Robert Louis Stevenson set the fash ion of the action novel, and for a time had many imitators, but thla particular school of fiction is not now in vogue. Grant Richards, interviewed by a London Express representative, said that he would gladly welcome a new school of fiction which could really hold tint" public by novels dealing with other pay slons and other Business man love. "But I doubt very much," he sal "whether it is possible to treat of any other phase of life which so interests the ordinary reading public. They .are not tired of love stories. They are only tired of the old-fashioned treatment of the sublecU - Success depends entirely upon freshness of style." ' tt Ton Are Superstitions Try This.

If the Coast league were not a "good thing" why would the eastern men come to the coast with a bundle of peace overtures that were laid before the California magnates? What did the- Coast league gain? " What con cessions did the national association make? Instead of doing a kindness to the Coast league they arranged mattera so that they could secure anything from the coast that looked good. In other words, the Coast league is the farm that will be a ripe harvest at all times for the grabbing hands of Hanlon and his partners. . President Bert and Henry Harris did a clever trick. so far as San Francisco and her ally, the Oakland organization, are concerned, ' but their pleasure will be short lived. The other clubs will not stand for such work. BUDD. ; Paper - Chase - en - Washington's -Birthday.- ABQ7B10AB TASTB TT7BXISK BUGS. From the Philadelphia Record. "From an artistic point of view it may seem absurd, but it Is nevertheless true that American taste dominates the output of Turkish rugs," said a man who has made a study of these beau tiful products of the Orient. "Any im porter will bear me out in this. Of course, , Inasmuch as the Armenians and Turks who make these rugs have no power looms . on which to reproduce exact copies, it would seem ridiculous to suppose that more than one rug of the same pattern - and ' design could be out But the American dealer learned to know pretty much what of rug appeals to . the American er, and he says to his agent on the er side, Make me a lot of rugs that look as much like this as possible.' So the native weavers on their hand looms, do their bestr to copy the colors of a special dealpn that is put before them. This handicaps them, for these untut ored artisans have their own ideals, just as a painter of pictures has, and it is galling to be thus restricted. It is also not very gratifying to realise that the rich American who la often the parvenu, with no idea of art., should dictate the output of an artistic product that is centuries old. But the rich American is the greatest buyer of Oriental rugs, and must be considered.". T Several Men Drowned ? ; With orders for Country Club Mocha and' Java coffee. .

There Is considerable enthusiasm manifested In regard to thentemplated Indoor track meet at Columbia university, which will be held in the near future. Pacific will undoubtedly send a strong contingent to Portland and' has high hopes of win ning first pjace.
