' Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 25. - Ralph Frary,- the peerless umpire, who may .and may -not hold an Indi cator In this league again next season, picks Vancouver to win the 1911 pen nant, with Spokane second choice and the Tacoma Tisrers third choice, Frary can see no chance for Portland or Victoria. The odda he would quote on the pennant race on the ' layout right now are given above. When Frary was asked how he doped It, he replied: "Well, to be candid, Brown seems . to have the best team In the bunch. Brashear of the Vernon team will strengthen him up at the first corner If he lands him. Tea, it looks to me as If Vancouver had the edge on the In- dlans at this period of the sfcason. Man ager Nick Williams' men will be away from home two thirds of the time, and X tell you a road team cannot bombard the pennant pole successfully. On pa per Portland looms up like a red flannel shirt at a full dress ball, but didn't the team tht Casey piloted look ev ery bl as Invincible?" stagnates Meet George M. Schreeder of the Tacoma baseball elub and D. D. Dugdale and John Tlghe of the Seattle club spent several hours yesterday afternoon dis cussing the schedule for the coming season. President Robert Ltndsey of the Northwestern league has, called a meeting of the 'Northwestern .league di rectors for February 2, when the sched ule will be formally adopted and, in the meantime, the different magnates are making up drafts that they ..want adopted. Shreeder and Dugdale exam ined three or four different schedules yesterday. - . It Is likely that the season this year Will open on Tuesday, April 18, Instead of on Saturday as has been the custom tn the past This suggestion was made by Judge MeCredle of the Portland club and ' was indorsed by Bob Brown of Vancouver. It also met with the ap proval of Dugdale and Shreeder, so the opening date Is practlcatly Settled." By this arrangement 'the .teams wMl play a series of five games In the opening week, instead of eight, as in previous years. While it is not yet sure, it is prob able that Victoria, the new member In the league, will open the season in Ta come will also get an even break on attle and Spokane will also open up at home. The different schedules give Tacoma 12, 11 end 10 weeks of ball, but Presi dent Shreeder says he will insist on having 12 weeks at home and that he has assurance that he will get it. Ta coma will also get a neven break on the holiday games, says Shreeder. More Sunday games will be played In Tacoma than ever before next season. Tacoma's games scheduled In both Van couver and Victoria for Sunday will be transferred to the local lot and none will be given to Seattle, as was done last year. This means that the Tigers will be seen in action on the home lot on 17 Sundays during the season of 24 weeks. If the schedule approved by Fhreeder and Dugdale yesterday is adopted the BeaBon will close September 26. A rule was recently passed by the league limit ing the season to October 1. " "I feel sure we will get 12 weeks at home and felr shuke all around," said Shreeder upon his return from Seattle last night "The schedule, which prob ably will be adopted, suits me first rate. "1 met John Tlghe, the new Seattle manager, and he Is a fine fellow. I Judge from the conversation I had with him that he knows the game, too, and Will prove to be a capable leader." rrary Bays "So." Ralph Frary says he will not umpire In this league next year if the direc tors cut his salary. Ralph feels he is entitled to a raise instead of a cut, and if he Is docked he says he will pass up the Job. "And there's no bull about this, either," added Ralph. At Its meeting last fall the league de cided to retrench by reducing the sal aries of umpires. Ralph has always earned a fat salary as an umpire In this ; league, but the majority of fans felt lie ' deserved it, for ho whs far and away the best indicator holder that ha come into the league since its organization. George Van Hallren. m of the oldest living ball plavo.s. who umpired last year in the P:icti'n- (Vast league, Is a Candidate fur a job in the North w-Mvn Igfaue next miihhi't.

Although Clark Griffith Jbas refused bo far to become enthusiastic over the prospect of becoming a mil lionaire, there are certain of his friends who say he is enjoying many day dreams, nevertheless. The famous manager of the Cin cinnatl National league baseball club has received a letter from a firm of New York attorneys In forming him that he Is one of the heirs to an estate valued at sev eral million dollars which was left by Daniel Griffith, who died in New York in 1838. A movement is on foot to have the heirs co operate in- legal proceedings to gain possession of theentate. Ml FIX Fffifi FOR 1911 FRAY Despite Stories, Brown and Overall Ready to Play Again. Qhlcago, 111., Jan. 26. Among other veterans of the Cub team who are mighty anxious to get back in spanglea are Mordecal Brown and Orvle Overall, the two pitchers who have dons more than their share in winning something to hoist up on the big flagpole at the' west side park. Owner Charles Webb Murphy of the champions was pleased to receive a letter from Mordecal several days ago, In which the three-fingered one declared that the spring training trip and the start of the National league champion ship season couldn't come any too soon for him. Just now Brown and Overall are to gether In California, where they went immediately at the close of the 1910 sea son, to develop some mining property which they hope will eventually cough up oodles of gold. Brown and Overall Busy. "Orvle and I have been so busy with our various interests out here," wrote Brown, "that we haven't -paid a great deal of attention to the doings In the outside world. "Therefore it wasn't until recently that a Btory came to our notice about our deciding to quit baseball. Mr. Mur phy, there is nothing farther from the truth, believe me. "While this has been a busy and an Interesting winter for myself ad my teammate, it liasn't been so much so that we have forgotten baseball and the Chicago fans. No player on the team is more anxious to get hack to the game than we are. "This is certainly a groat country in the winter time, and 1 think now that I will epend all the off seasons out here with Orvle. Wo axe both in good shape from plenty of exercise and expect the season if, our careers." The moral of which is, they all come back. No matter how much may be said about quitting baseball to follow a pro fession or tend to other business, the players seldom break away while they are able to hold down a position, and even when tboy are "through" In the Mr leagues, generally gn to the minors lather than become a mere spectator.

' The 1911 fight of the Portland Beavers will be with San Francisco and with,, Oakland, according to the prophetic sense of Walter MeCredle, manager of the Portland team. "I fear San Francisco and Oakland more than all of the others," he said, in a forecasting mood. "But I am not wor rying about any of the opposing teams. I believe I have a sduad that will boat anything on the coast." Manager MeCredle said he would wel come the day when the Pacific coast had a major league. "This thing of picking up a new team every year Is disheart ening," he said. "If we were In a ma jor league we could keep the team together.'' n SWIMMING RACE S PROGRAM Big Event Will Be Held Portland Swimming Baths Soon. at An open swimming race will be held at the Portland swimming baths some time within the next three weeks, the prise being a silver trophy cup offered by 121 wood Wiles, prominent sports man of the city.
