President McCarthy, of the Coast league, has wired President Klepper, of the local club, that the Seattle ball club is not involved at present in the Coast league gambling charges. How the local club was ever charged with the offense is a mystery, as no names were mentioned. At any rate, the Seattle players are cleared of sus picion. The way the boys have been playing ball lately gives the lie to the charge that they have stepped from the straight and narrow, M’CREDIE WILL SWEAR BY HIS CLUB Walter McCredie, the Portland pilot, will swear by his ball players, according to, his statement before yesterday's game. “President McCarthy will have to explain this accusation satisfactor- ily,” said McCredie, “because the charge is a serious one.” PORTLAND CLUB HAS PEP Portland showed a lot of fight and pepper out there yesterday that caught the eyes @nd ears of the fans present.
