Lambeth, University of | Modified football, and not aj Virginia for the return of the $1,000 posted by the Portland club with President Lucas of the Northwestern league. It t# generally conceded by the Portland fans that MeCredie’s request is a tacit ad-| Mission that the McCredie combination is ready to give the North Western the shake and throw the entire support of Portland to the Coast league. If such is really the case, and the conclusion seems to be amply | warranted by the facts, Judge McCredie and his nephew have pulled | off one of the smoothest deals in the baseball history of this part of the country. For some time past the California clubs of the Coast Jeague have been handing lemons to Portland, both in and out of season, as they did to Seattle when this town was on the Const league | etreutt. Now Portland is an Important ktrategic point from a baseball standpoint, besides being a good ball town from the standpoint of gate receipts, and Cal Ewing & Co. have always and will continue to} hang onto it ike grim death. His affiliation with the Northwestern} league last year gave McCredie just the lever he needed to pry out | of the Coast league magnates his perfectly just demands, and at the Meeting in San Francisco last month he played his cards to a nicety, and by putting the fear of desertion into the Coasters, secured a long sched: ule of home games and several other concessions for his Coast league | elub. Then he threw another scare into them by talking outlaw ball | when the Coast leaguers shut down on bis second club, and having | thoroughly instilled a spirit of humility and respect Into the California men, he would now like to draw down his aute and let the Northwestern | find salvation outside of Portland. | And at the present time it looks as though things would turn out exactly as McCredie had planned. Certainly, if he {# indifferent or actively opposed to handiing the Northwestern club in Portland, no one else is going to worry over the situation, or start a baseball war | in an attempt to pull chestnuts ont of the fire for an owner who doesn't want them. Portland's sympathies have always beon with the Coast league, and it is doubtful whether a Northwestern club, which, | according to Portiand’s Coast league dates, would be virtually a road | club, would be any great help to our league. | There are several cities willing and anxious to get in line with the | Northwestern, and if Portland is really going to withdraw, a choice will | have to be made in the near future. Until the retention of Portland | or thé choice of @ substitute is definitely announced, the fans will have something to read about and the sport seribes material for guesses, conjectures, and the tabulation of possibilities WW ‘er M'CREDIE certainly tipped off his hand when he asked THE MANAGER QUESTION If St. Yves carries out his present plans and makes a tour of the Antipodes before returning to France he should land home with a very wellfilled wallet, provided, of course, that he ties up to a competent and honest manager, The Flying Frenchman has an idea that he ts capable ot handling the business end of his matches as well as the pedal ex tremity, but in this he is greatly mistaken, for his knowledge of King. ish is still somewhat limited, while his knowledge of the ins and outs the professional sporting game is practically nll, St. Yves would be aking the mistake of his life if he started to complete his world tour and to match himself with the Australian and New Zealand distance men without the ald of a good, clearsighted manager The little speed burner’s experience with Al Copeland has made him gun shy, and it will require some persuasion to get him under contract again.
