When Cinnct Buh, dfpoel urn plr. of tlie 1'iicii'ic Coast lftague, eigned a contract with the Federal league yesterday to act us one of Its umpires, the flrfet rase (if an umpire hurdling to the outlnWH went on record, for Push hm) nlned W contract to umpire In the Northwestern league In 1914, accord In? to an announcement of President Kinder Jonen this morning. Jojk-'H stated that he had his three umpires for 1JI14 Kigned up hut was not ready to announce the names, and the defection of Bush made him -pretty nngrv. This morning Fielder stated that lie - feared one of 'his other um pires, an eastern man -who worked in , llass A A hasehall lant year. was nhout to go to the Federals, whereupon lie -would have all of his work to do over in the signing of men for his fitaff for next year. "I hod Hush signed to a contract. Walter MeCredie told me lie was easily the Dest umpire In the Pacific Coast last year and from what I saw of him here last summer he impressed me greatly. I tiad heard that his habits were a bit loose and protected myself by inserting a "booze clause" In his contract, by which I was to hold back a certain sum of money if he kicked over the temperance traces. "But 1 guess that theerals of fered him more money than I could afford to pay and he took the Jump. I guess he Is the first umpire to Jump a contract to work with the outlaws. And what is more, I fear that one other man of my 1914 staff is going to the outlaws, too.: Well, let them go if they want o. There are plenty more umpires, and good ones, too, who want Jobs in the Northwestern league, and I guess that I won't have much trouble In signing a good man up to take the place of Bush or the other man that T have under contract. If he goes to the outlaws. . I am not ready yet to announce hi name. FIRST "UMP" TO JUMP ORGANIZED LEAGUE Portland fans will remember how they doubled up with laughter one aft ernoon in li12, when a young catcher came down to the Portland Colts from the Chehalis team of the Washington Stat league, made four clean hard lilts, and then proceeded to hit the cen ter field fence eviry time one of the opposing base runners started to steal second, lie Is the Jack Roche who was drafted from , the Calgary club, of the Wextern Canada league by the St. Lrf)Ul.s Nationals lat fall, and who Just now is occupying the limelight in the letter sent out by the St. I,ouls club, in an effort to intimidate its players who are on the verge of jumping to the Feds. Outside of hitting the ball that afternoon, which he failed to do on HU'cceedinc; afternoons, Roche gave us . a-' wonderful exhibition of how not to play the national game. ST.

OR E TLAND SHOOT CONTINUE HIGH SCORE Wilson, With "Possible' High Man in Both Matches. . Is San Oiego, Cal.. Jan. 21. Big league baseball club owners, apparently aroused by the raids the .Federals are miking in organized baseball, have resorted to threats of court proceed ings against any reserved player who signs with the new league. This is shown today by letters received by men whose services are claimed by the St. Louis National league club. The first of Buch letters was re ceived today by Catcher Jack Roche, drafted by the Cardinals from the Cal gary club of the Western Canada league. It is a carbon or mimeo graphed copy, to which is attached the individual player's name with a type writer, and reads: "The St. Louis league ball club of the National league has an option upon your services as a baseball player for the National league championship sea Bon of 1914. - . The St. Louis league ball club of the,National league is willing to pay you more compensation than any other responsible baseball club. "The National league championship season of 1914 will begin Tuesday, April 14, and ends on or about Oct. 7. Will Take Men Into Court. "In the event that any buyer whose services the St. Louis club has title to. signs a contract with an irrespon sible baseball club organization, the St. Louis club of the National league will, by advice of counsel, protect itself in the civil courts against the player for damages, the amount to be determined by litigation. "The St. Louis club 1ms been given legal advice that a suit for damages against players will be a simple and direct means of protection of property interests and in the event that damage suits are instituted against a player or players, restraining orders preventing the player from playing baseball with an irresponsible baseball club will naturally follow, pending the outcome of such suits. Respectfully, (Signed) "S. P. BR1TTON, President." Roche has been approached by Geo. Stovall, manager of the Karisas City Federals, and has publicly announced that he was considering a federal con tract. This announcement and rumors concerning Tesreau and Fromme, New York Giant pitchers, wintering here, and other major leaguers, is supposed to have prompted the letter from the club owners. -Manager Walter MeCredie yesterday received the articles of agreement in the transfer of Pitcher Rip Hagerman from Portland to Cleveland, and the tr.'UOHfei- of Outfielder Buddy Rvan "from the Toledo club to the Portland Weavers; This sets at rest where Bud dy .will play next year, unless, of coiff-se. be sues to the Pittsburg outlaws. Bill Sweeney, the old Portland short stop, and now captain of the Boston Nationals, takes exception to a recent statement of a Boston writer to the effect that Lee Magee, who used to TJay first for the Seattle club but is now chasing flies for the St. Louis Na tionals, is one of the six great out fielders in the National league. Swee ney insists that Lee is one of the three greatest fly chasem in the older cir cuit, Max Oarey of Pittsburg and Zach Wheat of Brooklyn being the only ones who compare with him in all-round ability. It is said that Johnny Mc Graw would like to get hold of the fleetfooted youngster, who is yet the idol of the Seattle fans. The Portland Revolver club shooters still continue to make high scores in the United States Indoor Revolver league. In match 11 'last evening, the local shooters bettered their high BCore mark of the season by making 1131. In match 12. the score of 1116 -was registered. George. Wilson was high man In both matches. In match 11, he mads the high individual score of 235 and in match 12 his score was 228. Not a single shooter made a score below the 220 mark. W7ilson registered a "possible" in the second round and and made the scores of 49 in the. first and fifth ounds. Larry Evans also made a 49 score. The names of the clubs which Portland met last night, are not known. The scores: Match 11. Targets 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Tot. George W. Wilson 49 50 43 44 49 235 K. Evans 4! 44 44 49 44 226 Capt. J. T.

Wheth- er any attention will be paid Berry's mandate remains to be seen. In order to offset the effect of winter base ball both Managers Walter MeCredie of the Beavers and Nick Williams of the Colts will have several of their men show up at the camp a week or two late. Del Howard will, take a couple of : soccer footballs to the Seals' camp at ' Boyes Snrings so that the players can work off a little poundage that way instead of having to run around the " park, which is a very tiresome and leg wearying task. Howard figures . that the excitement of a game of soc cer, from the playing standpoint, will cause the players to forget about fa- ' , tfgue and automatically work off the winter's gathering of embonpoint.

Matlock, of Pendleton president, and L. M. Brown of Walla Walla, secretary-treasurer and cutting the salary limit from S1400 a month to $1200 a month, directors, of the Western Tri State closed their annual meeting in this city yesterday. It was decided that the salary limit of $1400 was too high and it was re duced 200 to "the figure with which the league started two years ago. Mr. Matlock, who was elected presi dent to succeed W. N. Sweet of Boise. resigned, is president of the Pendle ton baseball club. He and Secretary-treasurer Brown have been appointed a committee to secure a fourth town for a league. They are to report at another direc tor's meeting to be held within 10 or 15 days. It ia probable that Baker will be the fourth town in the league.

With Dorais" on its roster and Peter Rodes coming back to the coast, Mult nomah will not be shy on quarterbacks. There is a possible chance of Rodes playing a halfback position on the 1914 team. The club's prospects for a champion ship aggregation this year are exceed ingly bright. Practically every play er of the 1913 squad will return and there is a possibility of the club land ing several college graduates, includ ing Chrisman, the all-northwest tackle of the Oregon Aggies. Leo Malarkey, the University of Ore gon halfback, who has accepted a po sition withtrts uncle's fish firm in Portland, will likely turn out with Multnomah's gridironers in the fall. The schedule of classes of the Port land Social Turn Verein will open Feb ruary 2 in the new gymnasium at Thirteenth and Main streets. Profes sor Richard Genserowski, who has heen instructing the local Turner club mem bers for the past six years, has com pleted a schedule which will give com plete satisfaction to all class members. The new Turner home is equipped with one of the finest gymnasiums in the west, being so constructed as to be practically dust proof. It is fur nished with up-to-date apparatus, steel lockera, convenient dressing rooms and has one of the largest and most san itary swimming tanks in the city. CHAMP ALLEN ROLLS UP SCORE OF 200-118 Will Play Henry Solomon the .Second Block f Pool Tonight. University of Oregon. Eusrene. Or. Jan. 21. A puncture was made in Ore gon's 1914 track prospects when Leo (Tick) Malarkey confirmed the rumor of the past few days that he would accept a position offered him with the Charles J. B. Malarkey company, Port land wholesale fish dealers. This means that Hayward will lose the services of Malarkey on the track this spring as the boy leaves college at the end of the present semester. With Goreczky. Lake and Kirkland, Malarkey was a member of the Columbia Uni versity of Portland interscholastic re lay team which came within 1-5 of a second of the world's record at the University of Oregon's spring track meet here in 1911. Malarkey has done the 220 in 23 2-5 consistently and the 440 in 53 2-5. Malarkey made left half on the V ar ty football team last season and played in every game. Not once was time taken out for the little Irish man. OLYMPIC CLUBBERS WILL TOSS BASKETS MARCH 3 First Interclub Game Be tween Two Athletic Lead ers Should Draw Well.
