California outlaw for a few years.".- . Judge' McCredie stated this morning that he had not yet received notifica tion, from Brooklyn that the pair were cm the market, but thought probably the news- was contained In a letter. "With our preeent pitching and catch ing; staff." said the Judge, "I don't bee where Stricklett and Bergren could fit In. Bergen has been a pretty reliable backstop for the Superbas, but la prob ably slowing up. Walter has been ne gotiating for a big league catcher, but more than likely It Is Gus Fisher wha is coming back from Cleveland. We have had a number of talks about Fisher and he will doubtless be the man we get - , "We regard the Coast league as slightly . inferior to the majors. We want fast men on the Portland club and if Bergen is slowing down, he probably couldn't keep his place. "Stricklett has been out of the game a number of years, and I doubt whether Walt would care to use him. Any how, We have a mighty good staff with Koestner, Harknefs. Henderson, Lam lino, Temple and Stelger and the young Lamline's Contract Here. Fred Lamline's signed contract came In this morning, Just one day ahead of the time Judge McCredie set for the purchase of tickets. Lammy would have had to buy his own ticket if the contract had not been in today, thereby losing something like $76. With Lam line's contract In, every man on the club has signed up. Stelger's contract has not had time to get here, but in a letter received the other day he wa per fectly satisfied with the terms. " Harry Krause Banqueted, (United Frww Leased Wire.) ?

At the Tom Boy mine was a strong boy known as de Wilde and the Smuggler-Union, Liberty Bell, and Revenue Virginlus miners wanted to find an opponent who could teach de Wilde how to take a mat joke. About this time there drifted Into the camp a fellow known as Carl Temple, and Carl and the Belgian had pulled a rough house match that had ended un satisfactorily. The event was- to "be staged -In' the baseball park, following a game be tween the Tellurlde Tigers and the Montrose Monsters, In whlcfiTTellurlde got trimmed.

They didn't want to wrestle forgot all their bad blood and suffered from a case of chilled Trilbies. The foreigner had furnished the mat, which was a tarpaulin stretched over sawdust, and he bet this against Tem ple's $40. After playing tag for 20 minutes something happened.' The Belgian caught a foot in a guy rope that anchored the mat to an Iron stake and he fell. Temple recaptured his waning nerve and dived Into the European, who had already landed safely on his shoulders; that is, safely for Temple. The referee slapped the American on the back. He had won the fall. "It ain't fair nohow somebody las- sused me vat?"
