Oil) I Kan has had only fair success with the, champions, but that ia probably, because he is with a losing club. To a man in the -branches it looks as if Manager Dickson' was doing a quiet little kidding stunt with Manager Mac. GUllgan might develop Into a world beater but there certainly Is nothing in his work this season that warrants the assumption that he is 'Worth the price asked by Dickson, l fe If?; Xaybs XCe Would Crush Xn."i ' Probably this selling pitchers at such enormous figures has become con tagious In the northwest and Dickson wants : to crush into the class with Brown and Rowland. Brown says he got $4000 for Oregg and Rowland claims a lightly smaller amount -for Pernoll. Pernoll was bractically given away last -year by Manager McCredle, who nicked him up at Med ford two years before on the advice of the late Virgil Garvin. Gregg comes from the sage brush district of Asotin county, Wash ington, and never saw the Inside' of a professional ball park until he tied up with Brown. . Both are southpawe. Ollllgalt may class up with- these boys but It la hardly likely. At any rate an old head like McCredle will ponder long- ere ha allows his eastern employer to pungle up 3600 big. Iron bucks for Mr. GUllgan - of Vancouver, of his majesty's province of Brtlsh Cxi lumbia. . ..... . . CALIFORUIAnS WILL . L1EETEASTERR STARS Newport' R. I., Aug. 17.
