Tha pass ing of the Mc Credies la to be re gretted. They gave Portland Ita stand- inr in tha foajtt league and put the Rose City on the . baseball map of the United States by the 1 development of Players who have been orowmd as world's series heroes, yet daring the last few years the feeling toward them has not been the best 'WAKES IS B1DBKB i : "Several men have approached me re garding tha franchise, but aa yet none of them has come forward with a defl Bite offer," said Walter McCredle. "I Would like to dispose of the franchise to Portland in te reals, yet the best off era re from California men. Clyde Wares, Who has considerable money. Is anxious Ao get the club, lie, it is said, has tha backing of several others." outside of : Wares, McCredle refused to make pub lic the names of any who have discussed the question with him. MeCredle Intimated that it would be a good Idea for Portland to pattern after . Heattle In taking hold of the franchise. The Seattle Elks made It possible for the Coast league to gain a foothold In Seat tle The Seattle owners enjoyed a great season, the Rainier drawing aa many people as some major league towns. MAO VP Iff AIB .. IfoCredle Is up in the air regarding plans for the team and himself next year. In the meantime, however, he is going to attend the annual meeting of . the National Association of Minor Base ball Leagues In Kansas City nest week. While In Kansas City, McCredle will probably do a little scouting around re- . gardlng players for the 1921 season. He will hold a conference with Prank Marin, owner of the Detroit Baseball club, but whether McCredle will be of fered the position as manager of the Tigers is not known. ."Red" Oldham, former Portland pitch er, who was with the Tigers last season, told McCredle in Los Angeles Just be- lore the close of the Coast season that It was heard on all sides that he (Mc- ' Cradle) would succeed Hughey Jennings ' MeCredle denied that he had received , any offer from the Seattle club to act as Its manager during the 1921 season. Wares has a week in which to reply to - Klepper's request to sign a contract for J Ml. It Is known that McCredle was : offered the Seattle management last winter. PTJTTJBE IS BRIGHT There Is no opposition to the fact that , MeCredle is a brainy baseball leader. He , was handicapped this year In more ways than one. Detroit failed to deliver the players he needed, and injuries and Jumpers threw a monkey wrench Into bis machine at critical times. , Baseball in Portland Is not dead. Mc : Credle knows that Portland will prosper under a new ownership, but there's no chance of the franchise being sold until tha right offer is made.

A., is working out a' scheme for Intercity athletic com petition between the championship teams of the Seattle high school and Portland Interscholastic leagues. It Is Wells' Idea to have the winners in football, basketball and haseball play alternately each year in each city under v the plan used between the Chicago and New York high schools. The matter has not been formally put up to the Seattle board of education, but It Is likely favorable action on the question will bs taken In the near future. Should the directors of the Portland ft Interscholastic league favor the idea. It will be necesary for the league to di vide the schedule as has been suggested by The Journal. Under the present system of determining the championship winners of the Portland legaue it would be Impossible to consider staging inter city competition, aa the sessions here are too lengthy. Should Intercity competition be sched uled. It will be an incentive for the players to train harder and. jut forth their best efforts. t4S9 lilU . f -'! - 1 fl . in
