Forty-six days of perfect autumn weather would have allowed Coast leairue giudi to yiiy uhkuhii mi rui i- land up to. the present and would have permitted the extension of the Coast league schedule to Include October In Portland. The latter part . of September and October In Portland are usually not aulted. for baseball,' and the league mas-nates have taken no chances. Quite a large number of Labor day crowds have been lost In the past few years through rain on the holiday, and this year was quite an exception. Judge McCredle could have duplicat ed the season of 1903, when he says 36 weeks' of baseball were played, had he known in advance of the autumnal sunshine. In that season the iclubs played In Portland until the first of November, and the season was. finished - in California the Sunday after Thanks giving. .The league now confines Its schedule to 80 weeks, thin being necessitated by the fact that since the first year of the circuit, there has not been settled weather In Portland, inee during Sep tember and October; New Team Is Probabler From Los Angeles have come reports that Manager Walter McCredle will cut ' loose from a lot of his present ball piayern anu seen 10 nircnumen me ciuo for next year. The big fellow says he Intends to build an entirely new ball club next year and he expects several players from Cleveland to help him carry out this plan for 1917. . Manager McCredi,c charges that many of his players did not keep in good condition during the- year and that If they had done so, the club would now be fighting Los Angeles for the pennant instead of trying to keep Its head above the second division. Most of the men who have not tried to keep themselves in the best of play ing shape during the 1916 season will be given the gate. McCredle's action, of course, will de pend upon how the players conduct themselves In the final week's series, opening today against San Francis- rt If 14 hml llnl tiAAn tnt t Ka HIdBK. .trous week at salt Lake, in which the only ganie was won by the doughty Al Irfn Sothoron, tho Beavers would have.

It is no wonder that McCredle is disgusted with his ball club and it is safe to predict that those who have not given their best to the ball club will be re numbered when Die contracts are passed around soon after the first of the year, Jones Is Surprise. Fielder .lones was greatly surprised when Judge McCredle told him the other day that Bobby .Vaughn did not live up to advance, expectations in his work with the Heavers this year. The old Comrade got In bad before he ever donned a uniform, by making foolish demand that his Federal league contract be fully protected, even after Judge MiCredle assured lilin that he had bee:i legally protected both at Portland and at the St. lmiis end. Then followed a poor season on the Tart of Vaughn at second base and fans tegan to "ride" bint, whlch naturally, affected his playing.

BLANK HAS BEAT CHANCE TO BOSS BEES, SAYS BIRD Salt Lake Ex-Manager Has Worked Quietly to Get Majotty of Stock, i By William J. Blattery. flan Francisco. Oct. 24 (P. N. S.) The whispering bird which supplies the Pacific Coast league fans with that ever-welcome and always eagerly sought gossip is authority for the statement that Cliff Blankenshlp will be back as manager of the Salt Lake club next season. Bill Bernard, the man who was recently appointed to run the Bee club, can't last, according to the latest whisperings. It wa only a few short days ago "that brief dispatches from the Utah metropolis conveyed the Information that Blankenshlp, in his leisure mo ments after his- forced resignation as the main Bee of the hive, succeeded in securing control of the majority of the stock of-the club. The latest re port Is that he's going to assert his au thority at the next meeting of the di rectors. Immediately after the close of the season. Revenue is sweet in any line, and baseball always is included. Would Show He Is Game. Blankenshlp wants to set himself back as leader of the teutflt, not so much for the glory and the salary that will be forthcoming but Just to show the men who got him that he's a game fighter and a winner when he starts. The story that Is being ripped off in the inner circles tells of how Blanken shlp hooked up with a prominent Utah millionaire who was eager to become a sporting promoter and who cared naught for his dough. The whispering bird Is authority for the statement that Blankenshlp showed the man of millions how be could cor ner the stock of the team and thereby overrule Frank Murphy and others who ran Its affairs in the past. Courts May Be Beached. The ' wealthy person Is reputed to be so strong for Blankenshlp that he told the former boss of the gang to go right ahead, use his own Judgment and swing back into the Job that he had filled so capably for nearly two seasons. Blankenshlp looks to be Just about ready for the big Jump. But there's sure to be plenty of fuss and gobs of trouble If the con templated move is made. The affairs of the club. likely will be aired in the courts, and the fans are sure to get many an earful of the doings of the magnates In the Mormon stronghold. Bernard May aire Battle. Bernard 1s believed to have a flock of stock himself. lie signed a nice, fat little contract, so he's worth a bet to give Blankenshlp and the million aire a battle when they begin to pre pare the gate for him. When Blankenshlp resigned under pressure, the fans all over the circuit waited for him to declare himself and denounce the men whom he held re sponsible for the loss of his honored position. But Blankenshlp did no hol lering nor shouting. Ho played a dlf-J ferent sort of game. Instead of howl ing himself hoarse, the discarded one went at the task of lining up his millionaire friend In a very practical, business-like way. That he was suc cessful. In his mission comes direct from a reliable source in the newest coast league city. VEAN GREGG HAS IT ON JOHN D.

Vean Gregg is another one of thoso "lucky guys." He was wished upon the Red Sox late In 1914 by the In dians. Then his left fin lost its wig gling power and Vean did little else than nurse it for the balance of the year In 1915 and again this season Greg;; was almost useless to his club. The main chores he performed were' those of the relief variety. In 1915 he worked to a decision In only six games; this year it was five. For performing in 11 complete com bats In two years, Gregg got his reg ular salary, reported to be $5000 a season, and two cuts of the world series melon. That means approxi mately $17,000 for working about 20 hours in two years, or $800 every 60 minutes. , If you have tears to shed, this Is not the spot. Sure, Charles Will Sell. New York, Oct. 24. C. Hercules Eb bets is a generous old soul. He ha3 tired of baseball and will sell his club to anyone who wishes to part with $2,000,000; just that and nothing more. C. Hercules might have de manded $3,000,000 or $4,000,000, but he Isn't the kind of a fellow who wants to drive a hard bargain. He is satis fied with small profits, such as about $1,500,000, it he sold his club for $2,000,000. The whole Dodger team didn't cost Ebbets $20,000 to recruit. If he placed each player on sale today it Is doubt ful if he would get much beyond $100, 000. Just how much the stands repre sent Is a question. However, about $300,000 would more than cover it. Allowing an extra $100,000 for the valuation of equipment means that the intrinsic worth of the whole ouS fit is $300,000. So the difference between $500 000 and $2,000,000 can be explained bv t!;3 cost of good will. Who wants to p.w C. Hercules $1,600,000 for his best ami heartiest wishes? Don't crowd, boys don't crowd! Ratter "ScaipeTl" Pitcher. "The funniest play?" Arthur Irwin paused for what you might rail le J'lectlon. Artie Is one of those an cient and honorable as far as has ball is concerned. He began playing professional baseball about six weeks after Noah's skiff bumped into the mount. Ho has played, scouted or managed ever since. "Well." responded Artie. "I've lamped a lot of funny ones, but the prize might be voted to an incident that happened a few years ago in the American asso ciation.

Fol lowing their victory over Idaho Fri day the Missionary squad has. started to prepare for meeting Coach Gllmore Doble's Invincible aggregation at Se attle next Saturday. That Whitman will be able to defeat the northwest chamlpons is beyond t he. wildest hope Of the greenest freshman in Whitman. That Spokane may get the Thanks giving day game between Whitman and the Washington State college, now scheduled for Walla Walla on Satur day, November 25, is probable accord ing to Coach Borleske of Whitman, who also is manager of student af fairs at the college. Under almost ideal conditions last Friday's, game with Idaho brought Whitman out more than $100 In the hole and it is the opinion that the W. S. C.-Whitman game if staged here Thanksgiving will not-be financially successful. Manager Bohler of W. S. C. has been endeavoring for some time to change the game In order that W. S. C might play Montana university at Missoula on Thanksgiving day. This will be possible only If the Whitman game is changed to the Saturday be fore Thanksgiving and played in Spo kane. In case the change is made Walla Walla has seen its last Inter collegiate f otball - of ' the season, the Idaho and W. S. C. games being the only ones scheduled for Ankeny field.

The " contes will start promptly at 3:15 o'clock. Jefferson opened the season last week with a 47 to 0 victory over the James John team and since that time Coach Jamison has been drilling his players on forward pass formations. The Jefferson team showed up very strong with a well drilled line and a hard line plunging backfield. With Captain Murphy In the quar tenfrack position, the Columbia team loomed up better against Franklin than it did against the High School of Commerce. Neither Flynn nor Holmes showed enough ability in the pivot position. The line-ups will probably be: Jefferson P. ' Columbia Hlxon Jj. K. R. .V. Jacobberger Trowbridge t. T. R Kuhle Plunmier L. O.'
