PORTLAND TO HAVE
DORTDWEST TEAM
PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE
GRANTS M CREDIE'S REQUEST
At Meeting of Directors, Manager of
Portland Club Also Given Permis
sion to Take netting Case to Na
tional Commission.
San Francisco, Oct. 21. At a
meeting of the directors of the Pa
cific Coast Baseball league last night,
Walter McCredie, captain and man
ager of the Portland team, was given
permission to take the Hetling case
to the National baseball commission
for a final decision. President
Graham recently ruled that three
games in which Hetling played during
the Portland-Oakland series were for
feited to Oakland, as Hetling was
under contract to Spokane. McCred
ie protested the ruling and the mat
ter will be finally decided by the court
of last appeal for organized baseball.
Gus Hetling, an Infielder, has been
signed by McCredie at the beginning
of the season. He played with Spo
kane in the Northwestern league,
however, finishing the season with
that club.
He then returned to McCredie and
was used by the Portland manager in
three games against Oakland. These
games were protested by Manager
Wolverton of Oakland on the ground
that Hetling had signed with Spokane
and that therefore he was not eligible
to play with Portland. Wolvertm
was upheld by Grabam.
Manager McCredie entered a de
nial before the directors to the sta"e
ment credited to him In which
he j
criticised some of the officials of the
league for being influenced by "pea
nut politicians." His statement thit
the interview was not given by him
was accepted by the directors.
The Pacific league last night adopt
ed what will be known as the "Wai
ver system." It provides that a man- j
agor must give the secretary of the I
league five days notice before he can ,
waive claim to any player. I
The annual meeting of the board of!
directors was set for November 3. i
Manager McCredie was granted per-'
mission by the Pacific Coast league '
to enti-. . team in the Northwestern
loague next year, providing such ac- !
tion does not conflict with the Pacific
Coast Leuguc schedule. ;
