Lassen More Dark Clouds CHAPTER LI E had such a wonderfully successful year here in 1902 that the outlaw Coast league broke into the territory the next year. Seattle refused to break ground for the new . league, but Portland went with the outlaws. The Northwest circuit operated with eight clubs in 1903, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Fran- cisco, Spokane, Butte, Helena, Tacoma and Portland making up the loop. The league, however, was spread over too much ground and it wasn’t a success, That + fall I sold out to the Coast league and the Na- tional association admitted them to organized » baseball. The Coast league operated here in 1905 and 1906. The following year they quit the Northwest and I was given back the Seattle basebal) franchise. In 1907 we put the North- western league back on its feet again, We operated for a number of years with ieidiaate various teams in the league, Victoria, Van- couyer, Seattle, Tacor Helena, Butte, Aber- deen, Portland, Spokane and Great Falls being in the circuit at one time or another. We had « big season in 1909 and another one in 1912.

FARRELL EW YORK, Feb. 26.—Those of the world’s champion Giants whoso Ideas of compensation agree with those of John McGraw aré to entrain today for San Antonio to.get ready for another pennant raco, All of the boys who helped give the Yanks a lesson in basoball in the world’s series last fall, haven't the same opinion of dalaries that their manager has, Among them are Capt. Dave Ban- croft, Johnny Rawlings and Bill Ryan. Bancroft thoight he was worth more money than MeGraw offered him last spring and he was restrained from becoming a “bitter ender” only by temptation of world’s series coin, Perhaps tho lure of the same prize will get him back in the fold, It isn't a nice thing for the captain of the team to hecome a holdout and give the boys a bad example, Jock Scott, who was picked out of the discard last summer by McCraw, 1s also holdout, The Giants are very bitter about that. Tf the Giants didn't givo Jock any more than tho NEW YORK CLUBS HAVING HARD TIME SIGNING MEN $1,600 the Cincinnati Reds were pay- ing him when his arm went bad last spring, Jock has a right to hold out, because he certainly gaye the Giants 100 per cent on their investment. McGraw obviously is out of humor with his players. Ho was sort of crushed, as they say in the books, when ho learned that his men were the backbone of the baseball players’ union, and he apparently has adopted the polley of the fron rod and tho husking gloves. In the past ho has allowed his players to go south at the expense of the club and talk things over, but he would not stand for it this year, and the boys have been forced to sign or pay thelr own way south. The holdout situation ‘among tho Yankeos 18 snid to bo loss serious than ft was several wooks ago. ‘The elub owners will not announce the players who have alened contracts an they do not bellove in advertising holtouts, Most of tho regulara are undoratood to have atgned Squire Ebbets {* having his troubles with the Brooklyn Robins.
