So much so that the speedy Brooklyn club, whtch earlier in the wek canceled a game scheduled. With the Sena tori for next Sunday, called Bish op ;by telephone and asked to be allowed to come. , : 'Have our check made out." said the Brooklyn manager, "for weare going to take: your money." It looks as if Brooklyn is com ing; in its most lurid war paint -all j because of a jolt that Bishop handed the Portland clubs yester day through the columns of the Portland News. It happened like this: The Montayilla club was" sched uled with the Senators! for next Sunday in Salem. Monday the Montavilla manager, called Bishop and told him that because of . the loss of players who 'had signed up far the fall tournament in Portland it would be impossible for him to bring his club to Sa lem. Bishop immediately arrang ed a game with Brooklyn, which is said to be faster than Monta villa. In fact its position on the percentage list proves this. But on Tuesday the Brooklyn mana ger changed his mind land tele phoned Bishop that his team. too. would be unable to come. Then Bishop arranged a game with the Fulton Athletic club. But the Portland Journal had some mean things to pay about Bishop on its sporting page, charg ing him with side-stepping - the fast teams and bringing the easy ones to Salem. .Then Bishop spoke out. The result was that the Brooklyn manager' last night called up and asked to have the game here re-arranged for next Sunday. ! Bishop had to get the consent of the Fulton manager, which was readily given, and Ful ton will come a week from Sun day.. ! - : 1 The Portland hews article, quot ing Bishop, follows: J "Biddy Bishop, (he peppery manager of the Salem Senators, is a trifle burnt up oyer several Items that have appeared in local papers stating that the Senators have been side-stepping; many fast ball clubs that have a good chance to knock 'era over and grab .the $150 purse offered to any team that can make 'em sing baby baby shoes. ("We had two games with Port land clubs, the Montayilla and Brooklyn teams, and both called ott their games on account of having their best players Join teams in the fall baseball tourna ment.

"Salem claims the state cham pionship, and is ready to meet all comers. Sunday we take on the Pulton Blues- and then .will look towards Portland for - more easy meat, j, "I am not panning the managers of Portland teams, but don't care to have some of the ""bush lead ers" make false statements in the papers about " side-stepping good teams and only taking on green peas." writes Manager Bishop. ' S "(Editor's Note: Regarding the tournament. Biddy will, no doubt, get a golden chance to come to Portland with his Senators and play if the Kelso Timber Wolves disband before the final game of the tournament." The directors would welcome Bishop, miles ahead of other state claimants.)" Hayward Is Greeted By Lieut. Smith in Paris EUGENE. Ore.. Aug. 14. "Hello, Bill Hayward. How's Earl Simmons?"
