Aberdeen Wants to Join Pacific Coast International feague,
Farr Is Coming for Interview W ith Nick Williams and McCre
die Puts 0, K. on the Jud ge's Recruit Ball Players.
By R. A. Cronin
ITT ITH Aberdeen seeking a franchise in the Pacific Coast In
lV ternational league; with F.
about to keep his manager,
the Portland Shipyards league, and with Walter McCredie giving
a glowing report on a flock of youngsters owned by Portland who
are training in the Salt Lake camp,
rosier hue in baseball circles
Aberdeen has sent out reports
get into the northern league on the most equitable terms and, in
view of the fact Uiat some of the games may be played at Camp
. Lewis, the citizenry iVinclined to view the proposition with much
favor. When Aberdeen blew up some years ago, it never paid
the "ball players, and that is still hanging over the head of that
town. Lefthandcd President Blewett of the, Pacific Coast Inter
national league' gave Aberdeen notice some time ago that this
, amount, something like $1500, would have to be paid before the
Black Cats could get back into
.now, However, it is believed that Blewett and the northern mag
nates have agreed to let Aberdeen come in without cost in order
to provide a sixth city
Members of the Portland Shli-
butlders' : league are hailing the
Aberdeen proposition with high
glee, as it would probably remove
Vancouver, Wash., from considera
tion. If Vancouver, Wash., went
Into the league It would make
harder the problems of the ship
builders inasmuch as they could not
use the Vaughn street grounds of
the professionals when the Port
land club is away from home. There
fore the shipyarders are all pulling
for Aberdeen.
Tarr May Lose Right Hand
President Farr of the Spokane
club evidently sees the handwriting
on the wall in making a trip to
Portland to see Nick Williams.
Williams was on his way to Spo
kane to see Farr, but the shipyards
people got hold of him. pulled his
ear-down and poured a lot of golden
talk Into it.
The St. Helens plub wanted to put
xa club into the league but had no
body to handle it. The citlsens and
the - McCormlck shipyards at St.
Helens made Nick such a flatter
ing offer that, as Nick himself said,
he didn't see how he, could turn it
down. Nick has been surveying the
situation at St. Helens and admits
that It looks awfully good. . Then,
too ,the blond boss o fit the Indlals -4
was so badly up In the air that he '
-didn't know whether Spokane would
be in the northern circuit after the
schedule meeting of next Wednes
day . night. There has been some ,
talk of cutting to four clubs and in
dications point to that many finally
making up the league.
-Owns Farm Near St. H.
Also, there is this to consider in
the -case of Williams. In the hey
' dey of his baseball he bought some
land In Oregon and that land, be It
known, is within shouting distance
of St. Helens. Nick figures that if
he lands a profitable job with the
shipyard people, makes himself
valuable and becomes a permanent
adjunct to the building business, he
. can build a home and cultivate his
acres there. Heretofore Nick has
been too busy for the back to the
farm life, but admits he is coming
to It.
McCredie Boosts Local Boys
, Walter McCredie sent his first con
cise estimation of some of the young
sters who are coming to Portland
to Judge McCredie, and It Is quite
flattering.
Valter says Pitcher Morton is
rood enough for the Coast league.
He has lots of speed and bids fair
to be the Iron man of the league.
Walter says he has changed bis
opinion of Infielder Sands, who
worked with the Beavers awhile
last fall and did not impress Mc
Credie so favorably. Now, however,
Mao says he bids fair to'be a valu
able man to the Portland club. He
-7 hag been playing regularly With the
Yannlgan team and has crowded
out opposition.
, Cox Is Versatile Player
rMek Cox. the Pasadena youngster
who was signed to a Portland con
tract and given a trial by Salt Lake,
Is said to be a bearcat anywhere
you put him. McCredie has been
using him as a catcher and pays
him a great compliment. Mac says
e surely can hit the ball and may
snake a regular out of him, as he
Is the best boy he has seen for some
time.
,Mac says the boys he thinks

of defeat But his lion heart and
determination carried him on ontil
he dropped from sheer exhaustion.
For the first time In his life he heard
a referee count the fatal 10 over
his own prostrate form.
Speaking after the . fight Sulli
van declared he knew everything
that was going on and made every
effort to get up. His body respond

were practically paralyzed.

tdrm of John L. Sullivan finally
came to a standing posture and
reeled to the ropes, the crowd hushed
at the rising of his hand.
Crowd Cheers Corbett
"Gentlemen," shouted the gruff
voice of the old gladiator. "I'm
glad an American beat me. He's a
better man than I am."
And with - choking throats and
.throbbing hearts, a loyal boxing
crowd roared a cheer that shamed
the salvo which had acclaimed Cor
bett as the new champion.
Away from the ring that day John
L. Sullivan wept his grief among
his friends. -. The end finally had
come to " his - invincibility and.-he
realised it He also realised that It
' was liquor that .was to blame not
the fact that he had met his master.
He drank a bottle of beer while he
dressed In his hotel room, and, gas
lng at the liquid, he told friends: ,
- "If I had just stuck to that all my
Jlfe Instead of drinking whiskey I
"wouldn't be" here today, grieving
over a lost title. I'd still be" the
champion."

the huge Boston champion. Crowds
of curious followers and friends of
John L. wiped tears from their own
eyes as they witnessed the pathetic
meeting between brother and sister.'
