Newspaper Page TextTHE OKEGON SUNDAY JOUKNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27, 1908. Y2 SOUTHERN PREPARE CAMPAIGN STATE LEAGUERS SHOO DOVE OF PEACE By Will J. Slattery. ; . San Francisco, Dec !. The Inevi table baa happened. The rival baseball forces have thrown down the- gaunt let and the Ion expected war will be wared with all the bitterness at the command of the Pacific Coat league and the California Stat leagua- eext season. All the diplomacy and th , tact which President Johnson and Pulllam f tha National and American league respectively could bring o bear upon tna outlaws, rauea to accuniyuau no thing and the two biggest men In base ball departed from San Francisco, dis couraged and crestfallen at being thus thwarted by bush organization. Now that the dove of peace has flown and the war clouds have gathered In the baseball sky. the rival powers are beginning to make ready for next year's campaign of strife. It Is an open sec ret that there will be a contest on every California diamond and therefore ' the Portland fans must consider them selves lucky In being out of the mud dle. ,, Cy Mooring," the manager of the champion Stockton club and the power behind the Btate league throne, has signified his intention of Invading Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as - Oakland, Already, he has options on grounds In each of the large towns and if he gets the money which he says Is at his command, he Is liable to give the big leaguers a fine time before next ; season has run Its course. It has been Practically decided to shift the great Stockton team to Oak land, where continuous ball will be. In order. 1 According" to rumor.. : Danny Shay will handle the 'new Los Angeles -club, while the story is 'going the rounds that none other than the great and mighty Frank Chance will be at the helm of the San Francisco aggre gation when It Is formally Installed in its new grounds, the location of which will be named shortly. Sacramento will retain Its last year's team, which will be handled as usual by Charles Graham. The latter held out for peace. tUl .th. last 'minute and the majority of the Sacramento fans seemed to line up with him, but when Graham, saw. that Mo ring would have nothing but war, he was forced to sub mit to the Inevitable and cast his for tunes, with the majority. Graham-says he has . been pledged plenty of money by- the sport loving people of the capi tal city and that the team will go as far aaa.ny.0t them.-,.' ?.,;.. .' .ivft, ' - .- The general opinion l that the State league will Immediately, get busy and make overtures to the best men. of the Coast league in an endeavor to Induce them to jump even before the coming season opens. ' The magnates of the out . law organization have as much as ad mitted this. They figure that so long ss they can keep men like Benny Hen. derson. Shay, Chase, and Moskimaa they will be able to wade In and gather other lars who will gladly forsake the or ganized field for more money. The Coast league people have also decided that the best thing they can do will be to make " Wholesale' raids upon the outlaws. As the most bitter feel ing exists between . the rival leagues, the fans can readily imagine how the warring managers will go right after one. another and do everything In their power to break uo their teams. Before they ' departed for the east Johnson and Pull lam served notice upon the outlaws that the forces of organ ized baseball would be united for the purpose of fighting them to the last ditch. With this end In view the two big fellows will make this Issue their special hobby at the next meeting of the natloaal commission early next month. Johnson . has promised the Coast league all the aid within the power of the nationalorganlzaton. Every player who can be spared from the big leagues and the Class A minor league teams ,ext year will .be hurried on to the Coast league so that our teams may be strengthened. If it comes to a ques- . Coast league can have all the money it needs from Its brother leagues in the east Anything to beat the outlaws Is ' the motto of the head of the American league. . . v The only question to be agreed upon now by the Coast magnates Is the num ber of clubs which shall comprise our ' circuit next year. The schedule commit tee, after several days of labor, drew up . schedules that will work either four or six teams and Just as soon as the circuit lies beeri decided upon the magnates will be ready to go right ahead with ' their active preparations for the bitter war which la sure to be wsged. . It Is not likely that the circuit will "he agreed upon till after the return of president Ewing from the national com mission meeting. While in the east , Kwlng will make arrangements for more p la vers snd will also act in conjunction with Johnson and Pulllam regarding the extension of the circuit. Nobody csn tell yet whether four or six clubs will be In.. It looks Hie an even money bet either way, with opinions evenly divided. . f , ' San Francisco h gone wild ovr a ; new king of th prize ring, Sam Iang ford of Boston. Most everybody who caw the formidable black crush Jim Flynn In the first round the other night at once Jumped to the conclusion that fam can clean them all. Including Burns. Johnson and Ketchel. Not in years have ' the fight fans of this city fallen for a boxer as tney nave lor me oig smoae. He is the reigning sensation in pugdom. . At that. Langford did not perform such a Wonderful feat. All he had to do was to stall around a bit and cut loose with Ills mighty rights and lefts to - the jsw. Flynn rushed In wild eyed, without the slightest excuse for a de fense and those who have made a stuy ' of Ketchel" a actions In the ring are cet tain that the middleweight champion would have trimmed Flynn quite as eas ily, though possibly not so gracefully. As was expected, Langford Is out mith a challenee to fight any of them, barring Jim Jeffries. He will not even stop at Johnson. Though tie makes his chal lenge a very sweeping one, Langford takes special pains to have It apply di rectly to KetcheL - This ts the match " that he Is after and if there be any chance to hound the middleweight champ Into meeting him, the Boston shine will leave nothing undone to accomplish hli Iang ford has many, sympathisers in this respect. In fact, everybody who takes an Interest In the affairs of the ring Is yearning for a. chance to 'see h bis fellows hook up. The lery fact that Ketchel drew the color Una some months sgo will make life all the more untM-arablff for him inasmuch as he la far from telng a populsr champion, due I rlncinally to the crabhing tactics pur k ir-r) iii the past by tils manager, Joe 0 jvoiior. Ketchel pmhablv will do the best he can to weather the storm of adverse j uivli,., criiicism for a while and patiently pw ait i' e arrival rf Tommy Burns from A imt rfiila. An tte latter Hnnounred some n --(, sen tfiat lie would come to the 1 'iiie.i Mates n,1 take a whirl at Kct r, t-i. mtliilfcplslit champion i be OUTLAWS lieves that the best thing he can do is to stiok around for a while and grab off tne oig money wnicn ne sees in ma dreama. ..,...',,. Unless some live one Is dug up for Liangford this month, it looks as though the fans will have to content themselves with a bush attraction or perhaps, they will not have anything - in store for them. Good talent is very scarce In the pugilistic woods at the present time and whan a star does show up. he wants everything In sight in the shape of money. .. . e The outlook for the boxing game is none- too bright now- at its beat The supervisors are beginning to show signs or disgust at tne way tne sport is progressing and the general Impression prevails that It is on its last legs. If it is killed, the promoters can blame themselves for the tragedy. Nobody else can possibly be held responsible. When the time for the granting of the January and February permits came up Derore the supervisors the otner aay, supervisor center tossed a bombshell Into the tight camp by an nouncing that the best thine- that could be done would be to postpone the mat ter for another week so that, as be ex pressed it, '"the cases m!gh.t be thor oughly gone into." At the same time Center, who Is strong for reform, told those In his confidence tnat ne believed that the game had gone far enough, and that the best thing for every one concerned' would be to put an end to it before more scan dals cropped up. He and several of his associates stated that they were tired of being bothered by crowds of pro- of the supervisors believe that tne game of politics Is being played too strongly by the men who pull oft fights and that unless a ston is nut to the evil now, It will become more serious later on... . The level - headed business and sport ing men xt the city cannot understand why there should be such a scramble among the promoters for the privi leges of bringing off fights. Everybody who knows the game is aware of the fact that there was no money made out of it during the last year, and that sev eral of the - promoters dropped juicy bank rolls instead of reaping the rich harvest that they believed to ba In store for them. - . With all his .maneuvering and stall ing to hold the Iangford-Flynn mill, Sam Berger dropped about $1500 on the venture. Much to-his disappointment, the fight drew only S5100. He had al. ready guaranteed Langford $3000, Flynn $2250 and Walsh and At tell, his ring warming performers $500. After paving all the expenses of nrnmntlnv and advertising the battle, Sam woke up to find himself stung to the quick and now is talking of quitting the game. There Is no doubt but that the days of big houses in San Francisco havs passed.' possibly forever, but at least till such time as the game has been regulated and reformed. The public is beginning to tire of the tactics of the crafty promotera and the hoggish fight ers. There Is too much commercialism la the game now. The hen that lays the golden eggs will either commit sui cide or be murdered shortly. DIAMOND T0SSERS , WORRY OVER WINGS Addie Joss knows what he is saying when he states that one constant w6rry to a ball player is the fear he has of losing the strength of his arm. . A ball player's arm Is a peculiar thing. There Is never any way of telling when it Is liable to go back on him. Many a player who used to be able to throw as hard and often as any one has gone to bed at night In first class shape and awakened in the morning minus the services of the throwing member.. Take the case of Terry Turner of the Naps. "Tuck" up to the time he hurt his arm had as fine a whip as anv one playing the - Infield In the American league. . He went out on the field to practice before the game one day and soon came in to the bench complaining that his arm hurt him. All the rest of the play ers took It as a "kid' when "Tuck" told this, as no one ever dreamed Tur ner would have a sore arm. His arm was not right again the rest of the season, although he did every thing he could to restore the Injured member to its usefulness. ' Jesse Tannehlll Is another player whoae arm went back on him, though "Tanny" worked a few games last -fall and said It felt as good as ever.. . There was a case where a certain pitcher was out of the game for nearly two months one season with a bad arm. He tried every method ever suggested to bring It back without getting any re sults. . He was In the habit of pitching to the batters in practice every dav before the game, and one afternoon, after warming un a bit, he noticed an Improvement la his fllnger. . This was on a Saturday. ' The follow ing Monday he asked for "a chance to work, saying he thought his arm waa all right again. His confidence la his whip ass not misplaced, as he won a 1 to 0 game, holding his opponents to five hits and having everything at his command.

" Preparations are being made by the Portland Hunt club for the biggest paper chase of. tha winter season, the event to take place New Tear'a morning at 10:30 o'clock. Over 15 riders will take part In the chase, and the prise will be a handsome cup donated by Mrs. H. C. Wortman, to become the perma nent property of the winner. The dona tion of the cup has created more en thusiasm tnan at any meeung sincv the big chase of Thanksgiving day.

' In addition there will bejiffmerous blinds to throw off the pursuiltg horsemen. It will take something like 80 minutes to cover the course, the finish being In plain view of the spectators who as nemble at the end of the Woodstock line.

Tomorrow night tha Multnomah club dlrectora ' will meet - In special session and decide, whether next year's Thanks giving game wni go to OVA. C. or the University of Oregon. It, seems to be the general opinion that as a matter or justice to the Heavers tney sriouia be given next year's choice data. O. A. , C. has . -shown areat consideration for Portland not only by sending its team to compete on Multnomah field, but by bringing f the- largest . band of rooters ' that ever followed a team of football gladiators to any contest in the northwest.. The university has re fused to day the Beavers in Portland next . fall and tUe stand taken by- the Eugene authorities seems not only il logical but unfair. They insist that a campus game is aue tneir siuaents ana townspeople and in he same breath in tlmat that they will play. Idaho In Portland next year.- Idaho Is an alien and while a rival, cannot arouse the Interest of Portland, as a mighty con test between ' the two great state edu cational institutions surely does.'. . O. A. O.-Oregon Gam in Portland. Portland Is full of aluinnl and friends of both institution the student bodies follow tha teams en masse- to the Rose City, and It is only air,;' In' view of the fact that tha university contem plates playing one game in Portland, that that contest ' should be between the two great schools that tha city and state are most interested In. O. A. C is willing and anxious that next year's game oa piavea in jroruana ana it i Hoped ' that Eugene will . comply. . Multnomah ravors O. A. O. In view of these fact regarding th next year O. A. C-Oregon game th Mutinomah directors feel that, tha state college Is Just in their demand that next Thanksgiving; should ba the date Klven to tnem. TDanxagtving aay t unquestionably ths choice date for a gridiron contest ana -tne proposition maue by the O. A. C management, that th date should ba-given to them on at least - alternata - yeare, - seems em inently fair. The club seems kindly disposed toward this arrangement O. A. C. haa furnished many, of the club's star athletes. In gmlthson they have at m.nl A ' aa . uias.1 K aaa 1-a In tha Vi I a-ri X. wvi tu ss swi vs iiii vnnvs as . v ajii hurdles and both Walker and Pllklnrf ton do magnificent work on the grid iron.

Brodle and Hastings, whd are Portland bovs, will be seon wearing the "winged rom purely a business standpoint a game, with O. A. C. should be better tnan one witn tne universny. J. a. j. has nearlv three 'times as many stu dents aa Eugene and they follow their team to-a man. in tne u. A. u.-ure-gon game plaved at Portland this fall, the college sent over twice as msny rooters. Tha nlan of alternating the Thanksgiving date with both schools win be good lor atnietes ana give ooyi team an equal chance., . i ... t ( -' Michigan Alamnl la Arms. ' Most sane followers of Intercollegiate sport have flt that-it would only be a question of - time before Michigan would knock at the door of the west ern conference and he for admission. The time has almost arrived and if irate alumni angered by three years of football dereat nave any lniiuence tne bans on the door will be prompt and forceful. Michigan's natural field of endeavor Is In the middle west and it was a grave mistake for the old heads to ba swayed by - the. hot heads and seek new athletic foes. The whole affair hinged upon a little rule hitched nnin a lnna- BTlat of reform legislation enacted at the conference meeting four year ago. - The rule stated that all of tne legislation snouia ne rrirontvm.

Shoiv Great Class and Defeat liocals, 21 to 0. ;, Outplayed at all stages of a gruellins game, : tha Catholic Young Men'a clui yesterday afternoon Vent down to da feat at th hands of tha Chemawa In dian choolT21 to 0. Th Catholic wer outplayed from start to finish and wr on the defensive most of tha time. There waa no stopping the rushes of Chem awa' s big tackles and her fullback, -nor the end and tackle runs of Sortor and Graham. Time and again Dlllstrom and Burke, th tackles and Quehaphma, the fullback, went ripping through tha Catholio Una for long gain a, often much over the 10 yards required to make first down. '.. ... ..'. .? For the Catholic eleven there is lit tle that can be said. They war simply outplayed. There was not a man on the team whose position waa sot vulnerable to the attack thrown at It by the In dian aggregation, ' and although ther were times when, they seemed to brae and hold the Indians, another time they would lose this advantage and their po sition would be pierced or in the esse of tha ends, circled for largo and consec utive gains. On offense they lacked th concentration which characterised their play against Multnomah last week. The splendid interference given by tha back against Multnomah was also lacking. . The Chemawa team showed what wis probably the beat team work of any eleven that haa nlavad on Multnomah field this season. Every - man waa in every play and In this they especially outclassed th Catholio boys. It was not at all uncommon to see a Catholio back watching his teammat try to mak gains without any interference or help. . :.:,'..... Carliil Han Stars. One man who especially starred on the Chemawa team was Smith, the big center, formerly of Carlisle. Smith Is a tali, well-built athlete- with curly raven locks. In evr play on could see hi black head bobbing about and always right after th ball.. He fol lowed the ball better than any center who has appeared, here this season and his aggressiveness had much to do with the Indiana', success. With, the excep tion of a pass, which he made for a place kick,, his work Was steady and fast. ., ... Dlllstrom and Burk. the big tackle on tha Chemawa team, were veritably fienda when It came to eating up the white chalk marks. - Both men got out of their places .fast and. aided by. the almost 'perfect-- Interference gtvn- by the Indian back, usually went at ! least 6 yard bafore being downed. Their plunging-completely wore,-the- Catholio backs and linemen down and at the end of the game they were playing like dead men. -v '-.., -.v . ,- Captain Graham, Sortor, ' Wilson and Quehma were also especially bril liant lii their playing. Graham did th punting for the team and had a great advantage over Crowley at this and of the game. 41 rah am bratight the crowd to Its feet 'In the' second half when he picked a partially blocked punt out from tha midst ef a big crowd of players and ran 45 yards down the field before be ing brought to the ground, It looked several times as though he was sure to be tackled but he straight-armed several would-be tacklers, and dodged another, but was finally brought down by Zander on th 18 yard line. u. Quehaphma was usually able to make any yardage needed by hi team and did especially well on giving Interfer ence. Wilson was probably the fastest man on tha field. Sortor played a fast, dashing game during the first half bwt was taken out after that Two touchdown wer made by th Chemawa team In each half and Graham converted the first on Into a goal. . Xxoks XOka Catholic. At the start it looked aa though th Catholics" were due to win, for after recovering a kick-off of 16 yards they managed to make yardage twice before the Indian defense stiffened and' they were stopped: After that, however, 'there was ha doubt as to how the game would end, for the redskins started a march down tha field which was not stopped until the goal waa reached. Quehaphma, Sor tor and Oraham, with Dlllstrom as an alternate, simply tore tha Catholic lln to pieces and went from the center of th field to. tha 10 yard line in six downs. , t ....-.-. ., ', 5 . - Her Corter on a delayed pass nego tiated six yards more, but on the next play some one fumbled, and for a short tima it looked as though a Catholio player had recovered the ball, but when the pile of players was "pulled apart, the ball was found snugly held In Souveg nlr's hands.,, Quehaphma was then called upon and in two downs-made the touchdown.. Graham kicked the goal. The same tactic soon carried the ball deep Into Catholio territory again, and tha Catholics, who by-this.' time were putting up but a very weak defense, seemed to . lose all power to stop the rushes of the Indian backs. Quehaph ma. again made the touchdown -after three -slaahlng bucks. The ball waa pretty soggy by hla time and Graham missed the goat ! The Indians came- back remarkably strong in - the -second ; half and again rushed the -Catholics' Off their 4 feet Again and again, time had to betaken out for an injured Catholic . while th Indian mad the remarkable record of never delaying' th game. Dlllstrom anf Quehaphma wera specially strong in this half and made even more effective gains in this half than they did in the first ' ' ; . :-. ' . Two more touchdowns were negotiated during this half, but Graham could not control th slippery ball and failed to kick .both'. goals.
