BEYOND the statement that theCoast league directors have
chatted away the preliminaries in their San Francisco meet
ing and arc now prepared to take up the question of applying
'for the Portland-Seattle territory, little information has come
tiorth, , , ' ,
Deducing from rumors here and there, a chance remark dropped
pn fie village air and the non-communicative attitude of the Mc--Credies,
something that the -family has never exhibited before, it
- looks as if the proposition of preliminaries to the admission 'of
Seattle and Portland were cut long ago and stuckin the attic
a0 d
; Seattle ani Portland are just as good as in the Coast league
and do not,be surprised if Daniel E. Dugdale is succeeded in the
jbwnership of the Seattle franchise by a syndicate of Seattle or
'Portland business men readv to take a chance on baseball paying
in 1919 and thereafter.
. The Northwest league voting
power Is now in the hand of four
t men and Judge McCredie is- the most
- powerful What he says will go.
? Ha will have no Interference from
Spokane or Vane on ver, which
dropped out of the league. Infact;
Bob Brown of the Vancouver club
has asked permission of the National
association to claim Vancouver and
Victoria in a western Canada league
Vthat would comprise those two cities
and Saskatoon and Alberta.
J Mac If Welgnt In Affairs
Judge McCredie is the guiding
I hand la the Portland and Vancouver,
Wash., club, and Dugdale haa the
reins at Seattle. These portly gen-
Uemen have had much to do with
each other via the - Burleson, system
w this winter, which otltself Is enough
to make one believe that Mac and
J-Dug and the Coast boy a have every-
thing cut and dried.
I Captain Kick Williams, U. S. A.,
who recently received his discharge,
J ha been seen in" close conference
i- with Judge McCredie the past few
days and it Is not beyond the realm
of possibility that something is being
cooked up for Captain Nick. Fielder
Jones also dropped a remark the
other day that he might get into
baseball again in. the Northwest,
' which would indicate that Jones
: may be angling for the Seattle fran
chise. - Judge McCredie has hail num
i ber of conferences with railroad of
k flclals over the transportation prob
. lem and while they have not given
him any particular encouragement,
' he thinks a schedule could be fig
i, ured out which -would keep trans
' portation at a minimum on the coast
with two clubs in the northwest.
v Admit CIubWill Bo In
: San Francisco, Jan. 4. (I, N. S.)
--Seattle and Portland are to be ad-
mltted to membership in the Pa
cific Coast league.
Directors of the 'organization at a
closed meeUng yesterday voted to
expand the league into an eight club
I circuit. But the directors today
:-' were extremely reticent regarding
; their plans. The only thing Charles
Craham of the San Francisco club
; would admit was that Portland and
- Seattle would be in the circuit when
the league opened -this spring.
It was also learned that John
-Powers of Ios Angeles was appolnt
; ed a delegate from the Coast league
; to the NaUonal Association of
" Minor Leagues meeting in Chicago
c on January 14 and the meeting of
the minors and majors In New York
on January 16.
The directors will meet . ar.aln to
. day and it Is barely possible that
an official statement will be given
r-out some time this evening. In the
event that the etght circuit plan is
carried out the league will consist
- of the following clubs : San Fran
Cisco, Oakland, Los Angeles. Port-
.: land, Salt Lake, Seattle, Vernon
? and Sacramento.
. Rumors also prevail that Presl
dent Al T. Baum la to be ousted at
today's meeting, but verification
could not be obtained. Neither
Baum nor the directors would di-
cuss the reports. '

The salary fixed for the three months

attle fans and the local press are
urging D. K; Dugdale, local owner,
to accept the Coast league directors'
plan of an eight-club, all-coast
league. . '
l,f Dugdale could see any pos
sibility of a reduction in passenger
and Pullman rates, or if he thought
there was a possibility of making
special rates with the railroad ad
ministration, he would favor the
change heartily, he said today.

Boxing Seat Sale
Now on at Heilig
Theatre's Office
Seats for the Portland boxing com
mission's smoker at the Heili thea
tre next Thursday night were placed
on sale at the Heilfg box office
this morning. Boxing patrons are
therefore directed to secure their seats
at the theatre as they will not be
on sale at the cigar stores, as in the
past.
It was believed there'' .would be less
confusion in seating the public if all
the seats were handled at,vthe Heilig
as is done with the theatrical per
formances. Joe Burman Is Going
After Champ Herman
Joe Burman. through his manager.
Tommy Walsh, announces that he is
about to open up a campaign now that
the war is over to force Pete Herman,
present champion among the bantams,
?to fight for the title. So here is possi
bility No. 2. Burman, according to the
Philadelphia papers, owns that city at
the present time. They think he is about
the greatest little thing in gloves that
ever happened.
So. with the chance of the White-Leonard
fight and the two above mentioned,
it ought to be a real season for the
fans.
For shoe manufacturers a machine
has beeen invented to lace the sides of
the tops of shoes together so that they
can be drawn tightly over the lasts.

key, who left the Yankees last
summer to take his place as a
member of the crew of the TJ. S. S.
Arkansas, is an exceedingly fortunr
ate young man, for he . was per
mitted to witness the surrender of
the German high seas fleet to "the

ly of this experience and of a few
more only slightly lees Interesting
in a letter just received by Harry
Sparrow.
Shawkey has seen service In for

Arkansas, on which he la a chief
yeoman, and other vessels of the
Ninth battleship division joined the

This division, with the British men-of-war,
had its base at the Firth
of Forth, and patrolled the North
sea in search of submarines, fre
quently skirting the coasts of Nor
way and Sweden.
"Once." writes Shawkey, "we were
within 60 miles of the Arctic circle
and the eea were very high and
very rough."
When Bob wrote the division to
which he Is attached was about to
proceed to Norfolk, England, and
from there to Brest to take nart
in the reception of President Wil

the assurance that he Is ready to

Kearns Plans to Chase Champion
Out of His Texas
Hole.
There is a chance that the winter sea
son.' may bring some interesting develop
ments and reading matter, if what comes
to us through the mails can be consid
ered any key to the possibilities.
For instance, we are informed by the
immaculate Mr. Kearns, who looks after
the affairs of business of the mighty
Jack Dempsey, that he is going to open
up a campaign on Jess Willard shortly
that will make the husky Kansas man
either come across with an agreement o
meet Jack or seek seclusion farther off
than Tiexas, where he is apparently dil
igently engaged in forgetting the boxing
game.
Just what plan Kearns is-- going to
adopt to smoke the champion out of his
hole he does not state, but he-is going
to campaign just the same, and: by mak
ing rfL series of offers to the big fellow,
get him either to fight or announce that
he is through.
What Dempsey wants is that title, and
it looks as if he would grab it to a cer
tainty if he is given the opportunity in a
"fight to a finish" go. There Is only a
slim chance of anybody in this country
offering Willard anything near what he
thinks he is worth for such a match, be
cause there are only a few spots where a
20-rounder could be staged.

SPORT WILL
RETAIN ITS
DIVISIONS
There Will Be Amateurs and
There Will Be Professionals
in All Branches.
JO'EW YORK, Jan. 4. After-the-war
problems confronting the sport world
include questions of what is 'going to
happen In the ranks of the arnateurs.
Amateur sports always have been di
vided into two classes arnateurs which
competed, with professionals and ama
teurs which had the field practically to
themselves. ,
In the latter class may be grouped foot
ball, basketball, track and field games,
and other such sports. Baseball and
boxing are the two most prominent of
the professional sports competing with
amateurs, and which give a wide mar
gin to the professionals.
Baseball probably will continue the
uneven tenor of Its long and troubled ex
istence. The professionals will continue
to dominate the game. Amateur base
ball is so decidedly lacking In attract
tiveness to the persons who have become
accustomed to seeing high class profes
sionals perform that it has no hold on
the nation. Occasionally there are
games among the amateurs which pro
duce such phenomena as that which at
tended a game in Cleveland when 60,000
persons' were present at a game forhe
amateur championship. But they are
rare-s-ejrtremey so.
The same facts hold good for boxing.
Therefore, the conclusion may' be
drawn that, despite- the popularity of
sports in army and navy, the American
public will continue to patronise the
professionals instead of staging Its own
entertainment.
Golf la Immsat
This will not hold good for golf and
tennis,, which, as amateur sports, have
yet to be touched by the hand of the
professionals to a great extent. Oolf en
joys its professional tournaments, which
are greatly similar to its amateur tour
naments. -
The resumption of golf probably will
place that sport on a footing never be
fore realized, while the advance of ten
nis since war broke out has been a re
markable addition to the history of that
game. That the Davis cup matches and
other brilliant fixtures of this game will
be revived early is a foregone conclu
sion, 's.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.(I. ;N. S.) Billy Miske ami Jack Demp
sey may meet in a longf distance bout, ccojding to advices
from New Orleans today. "
Miske, it is said, has already agreed to face the,Californian over,
the 20 round distance, andJDemp'sey is expected to sign up unless
the promoters can hook Jess Villard for him. ; ; ,
The reports from the Crescent City intimate that the bout
may. be labeled a chamoionshia affair and that the winner-tnav
lay claim to theieavyweigh title, completely ignoring Willard.
Just how this would be taken-by the fistic public remains to bt
seen. It is doubtful that the .winner of a Dempsey-Miske bout
would get recognition. JBut the bout would attract a- great deal
of interest. ; - .: - '
Miske stands out today as ths one
riddle that the cyclonic Dempsey
lias been unable to solve. Ths men
have met several times and Demp
sey has always come away the win
her, but he has not been able to
knock out Miske, though he bowls
over all ths big -lads like ninepins.
In a 20-round bout Miske believes
he -would have a better chance to
even up the count against ths young
tornado from the far-away Pacific,
and, to eay the least, ths bout would
be a card.
With Miske waiting in the offing,
various promoters sre hot on the
trail of tho champion again. Wil
lard will be asked to box in Phila
delphia, according to word from the
Quaker City, and Newark is saldjto
be angling for a Willard-Dempasy
battle. Western promoters are also
after tho big cowboy, who may can
sent to meet Dempsey. now that it
appears certain that Georges Car
pcntler will not come to the United
Btates before late next fall. If fro
comes at all this year,

season's first game. There was brilliant
individual play, but not much teamwork.
