J I Champion Beavers,
Portland's Pacific coast league cham
pions will play only one holiday grain
In" Portland next year, Memorial day,
Thursday, May 80, resigning All of the
other choice days to the .. northwest
league. , However, there ' ts no doubt
but that the Beavers will play at home
during the Rose Festival, which, after
the opening week. Is the most remunera
tive of the season, and during the Elks'
grand lodge reunion, July 8-13, when
thousands of visitors will swarm the
city. ',
Portland and some one of the other
coast league clubs will be selected for
the Decoration day game at the sched
ule meeting In Los Angeles, January 8.
On the Fourth of July Vancouver, the
Northwestern league champions,' will
play the Portland Colts and on Labor
day the same clubs will meet at the
new Vaughn street park. Vancouver
evnd Portland on the two holidays ought
to draw , enough people, provided fair
weather obtains, to make the Portland
club some money. ' Last year rain
spoiled Its Labor day games.
However, the Rose Festival and the
Elks' convention are expected to provide
Immense crowds for the coast league
clubs and the two late holidays will sot
be missed.
Bush Towns like Coin.
''Major, league teams," says good old
Frank Bancroft, "should, always watch
harp as to the terms and agreements
when they book games with small cities
these exhibition affairs. The rural
magnate Is always willing to put some
thing over on you. If he can. Long, long
ago, I booked an exhibition game for
the oldtlme Troys at a little city I
think Its name was Berkeley and when
the Berkeley magnate asked by wire as
to the terms I. wired back '80 20
meaning, of course, 80 per cent of tha
money for us and 20 per cent for him.
He accepted terms Immediately. Well,
we played, and there was a big crowd,
our r share footing up something like
J700. When the game was over the
local magnate solemnly handed me a
check for 80.20, and showed my wire
to back up his Idea of division."
On on Fielder.
There are Joneses and Joneses, Just
like there are Smiths and Smiths and
Browns and Browns, in this world of

a -. perfect likeness in a Tacoma
paper of Fielder A. Jones, the
former leader of the Chicago White
Sax, but now a Portland lumberman,
who was yesterday elected president of
the Northwestern league, is a brief
sketch of Davy Jones, the former De
troit player. Instead of Fielder A.
Jones, the new league head Is dubbed
Fielder David Jones, and the following
biography appended:

which club In turn sold him to the St.
Louis Browns. Jones jumped the
Browns In 1902 for the Chicago Na
tionals, and played in the WJndy City
until 1904, when he broke his leg and
was released. In 1905 he was with
Minneapolis and at the end of the season
was sold to Detroit, where he played
center and left field and shared base
running honors with Tyrus Cobb. Jonea
is now a resident of Portland."
As a matter of fact. In 1901 Fielder
was batting .325 and playing center
field for the Chicago American league
White Sox. In 1896, five years previous,
ho was slamming the pill about the
Brooklyn National's park at a .863 clip.
From 1901 to 1909 he was with Chicago,
winning one world's championship, that
of 1906, for the White Sox.
Casey Flics Application..
Pearl Casey yesterday made official
application to President Baum of the
Coast league for a position as umpire
on the 1913 staff. Judge McCredle and
Manager Walter have given the Moose
a strong indorsement, and so have any
number; of the Portland fans. Casey is
Immensely popular in Portland, and
would undoubtedly be a good" man for
umpiring.

originated the everlasting line, "1 am
glad that the championship remains in
America,"
Connie Mack The man who recom
mended the rural free delivery system
for New York city.
Frank Gotch He wrestles and makes
persons pay money to see him wrestle.
Ban Johnson The greatest discov
erer since Columbus. He discovered the
American league. The Thomas Jeffer
son of the sport He Is to baseball
what the carbureter Is to the Joy ve
hicle. His fad is to try to find a bottle
of wine that a waiter can't open. He
hasn't found such a bottle yet although
he has often tried.
