baseball world, has purchased ' the .
This announcement waa mad Saturday
land since Tuesday night, arranging the
inga of Judge W. W. McCredie and
secured an option a week ago.
The price paid tor the franchise,
It m Kleppers intention to Incorporate
the club and interest at least 40 Port
land business men, as he did in Seattle.
A number of prominent Portlanders have
already agreed to take stock la the
corporation. Klepper wiQ ; remain - in

owns one of the biggest chains of cigar

an Interest in the club. '
'A PORTLAXD TJITDEUTAaTS'O
. "It Is my plan." declared Klepper. "to
make the corporation a Portland one
and to interest every possible business
man. - I have .assurances from many to
take stock in the club and expect to
- close the deal up completely during
- this coming week. ; . ,'
. "I propose to secure a first-class man
. ag-er tor the club. V do not know Just
yet whether he will be a playing man
ager or a bench leader. X have a leader
in view, but am not at liberty to mention
his name as yet.
"I will make the announcement as
soon as possible, as I will want hie
help in rebuilding bis club. I may have
, a manager signed before the annual
meeting of the Coast league to be held
In Los Angeles November 10 and will
- no doubt hold several conferences with
him before coins to Buffalo, N. Y to
, , attend the annual convention of the
- National Association of Minor Baseball
.Leagues. . . . - .
"It is my intention to secure at least
eight or probably 10 new players for
the club; They will include two hard
, hitting outfielders, two good inflelders,
three good pitchers and a high-class
: first string catcher.
SEW FLA.TEB8 ASSURED
! "None ' Of the players f ill be dis
1 posed of until .the new manager is
chosen. There are several big league
clubs. bidding for Pitchers Johnson and
Fillette, but I am not going to let them
. so until X am assured as to what play
ers 1 will get in return. The Washing
. ton and Detroit clubs are both bidding
for these pitchers. -1 will lose Gran
tham, shortstop, to the Detroit dub, as
the Tigers have title to him.
' 'The Question Of a ' playing- field for
next season has not been definitely de
cided, i I have talked with Mr. Griffith
about the , present park, but we have
reached no agreement. There are sev
eral other sites, available for a ground,
but should it come to pass that , the
team will remain on the Vaughn -street
ground. It is my intention to remodel
the entrance, make several changes in
the seating- arrangements and paint the
entire grandstand."
PUBLIC UTERXST IHYlTED
Returning to the matter of incorpo rat
ine the club. Klepper said : "I nave
taken a bis block of the stock myself.
but I want to interest the business men
of Portland in the club. Seattle re
ceived great publicity benefits from the
teams I assembled in Seattle, and with
the right kind of assistance) from Fort-
land business men, there is no reason
why the plan will not work here. Port'
land is a good baseball town and will
support a first division club. -
Take these figures for comparison:
Seattle last year played to nearly a
half million people, because all clvlo
organisations were behind the club,
while in Portland the attendance here
" was between .125,000 and 150,000 people.'
M'CBEDIES X.02TO IX COKTBOI
The sale of the Portland club marks
the passing of the McCredies, who for
years had Portlaxtd In the front rank
tn the coast league, but who, of late
have lost much of their following in
Portland because of the poor showing
of the team.
The McCredies acquired the control of
the Portland club at the close of the 1904
season from a number of Portland busi
ness men, including Max Fleischntr and
Frank Spencer. .
After struggling along- with a second
division team la IS OS, the McCredies
i bloomed forth with a pennant winner
in DOS that established a winning per-
' centage that still stands. Included in the
list of players that, season were alike
Mitchell, B1U Sweeny. Jimmy McHale,
Babe Dsnsig, Larry McLean, Pat Don
ahue, Bill Eaelck and Benny Henderson.
' A number of these players starred in
the major leagues in seasons that fol
lowed. -. '
- Disposal of his stars in 190S resulted
In McCredie. finishing third and fourth
respectively in the seasons of 1907 and
1908. In 1909 he developed a club that
was runner-up to Saa Francisco, win
ners of the pennant. The (following two
1 years Portland won the pennant and in
1911 finished fourth. In Mil and. 1914
Portland again won the pennant. Ever
' sinos 1914 the Beavers have been a see-
ond division olub. ..'.-'' V"

part owner and "manager of the - San

Krug will be with the Beavers again
next spring. Krug was the main cog
of the Beaver defense last season and
with Pools on first all that is needed
an experienced shotstop and a nigh
class third Backer to .round out a good
Infield. Poole should be auoh better
player next season.
The sen Francisco club is after a
playing manager for 1922. The tact that
uranam pians to spena nis tuns witn tne
business end of. the team : means that
unless a field manager Is secured a huge
chunk of the season's profits will ' go
to a bench manager.
OWffEBJ BEfEEJrCB .
Seattle was successful with a playing
manager, - Bill Kenworthy having the
Indians in the fight until the Beavers
took a fall out of them during the last
month of the season. Kenworthy has
been offered the management of the In
dians again next season.
"Red" Ktllefer, manager of the . Ixn
Angeles dub,- champions of the league,
Was kept out of the lineup during a
Dart of the season by injuries; otherwise
he would have probably held forth in
one position or another all year.
one of the main reasons for the seek
ing of playing managers by clubs is
the elimination, of the extra expense of
having a bench manager, the high cost
Of transportation causing the club own
ers to do all the clipping they can on
the overhead expense. .
Reports from the South state that
Chief Bender is listed as a possibility
for the position as manager of the
Seals, Bender recently resigned as man
ager of the New . Haven club of the
Eastern league. ?
PIKELLX TO OO tTPt .
Does the. release of Don Brown, who
played third base for Salt Lake last
season, to the Oakland club by the
Chicago Cubs mean that "Babe" Pin
elU is going to be sold to the majors
next spring T The St. Louis Cardinals
want the former. Beaver player and it
would not be surprising if the Oakland
club sold or traded him before the open
ing of the major league season. , .
Brown, along with BUI Marriott a sec-
ond seeker, were turned over to Oak
land as part payment tor "Hack" Mil
ler. The loss of Gutsto and Miller and
the 'deal for Plnelll will mean that Del!
Howard will have to do a lot of hustling
to find players to fill their places. i
CATEITET DEAL TBTSVVXQ
A deal that will send Jimmy Caveney,
the star shortstop of the San Francisco
club, to the major leagues Is expected
to be closed this Week. . Sob Connery,
scout of the. New York i Americans, is
expected in San Francisco to dicker tor
the services of Caveney, .while Tyrus
Cobb, who. is managing the San Fran
cisco team in the Mid-winter league, is
aso bidding for Caveney,
reports irom san. r rancisoo oeciare
that one of the players, the Yankees
will offer for Caveney Is Mike MoNally,
who was more or less of a star la the
world's series games....
Indications are, however, that Caveney
will join the Detroit club, which has
been 'the stand-by of the Seals for a
number of years. " .
joe Knele, Washington scout. , is In
San Francisco waiting for a chance to
put la a bid for Caveney.
Baseball - critics believe that Hal
Rhyne. who was recalled from the
Western league by the seals, will be
given a berth on the left side of the
Bay City , infield in 1923. Kamm was
worked out at shortstop during the
closinsr weeks of the season and it may
be that Kamm will play short and Rhyne
third, unless the Seals land something
