Seattle Will Enter the
League in 1910
Ewing Starts East to Lay His
Latest Plans Before Ma
fiOnaI Commission

President j. Cal Ewing of the Pacific
Coast baseball league and Manager
Henry Berry of the Los Angeles team
will leave for New York this morning
to attend the meeting Of the national
commission next month and incidental
lY to watch some of the worlds cham
pfonship games. Before he returns
Ewing hopes to have the future course
of the coast league definitely manpeo
out and he goes on record as saying
that but six clubs Will comprise the cir
cult for next year.
EWings recent invasion of the north
west has brought about a radical
change in the presidents future policy.
Instead of fighting Seattle and forcing
it into the league, Ewing Will play into
the hands of Manager Dugdale of that
CITY, agree to a verbal truce and thus
pave the way for the admission of the
Siwash team into the league two years
hence
Ewing has practically decided that
the league will be made up of eight
clubs in 1910. the five California teams
and Portland, Seattle and either Spo-
kane or Tacoma in the north. This goes
in the event that both new California
clubs make good. If either drops out
then both Spokane and Tacoma are as
sured of coming into the fold.
The president has abandoned all idea
of going before the national commits
sion and attempting to WreSt the Seat
observations have convinced him that
this would only mean a bitter war in
which both leagues would undoubtedly
lose money whereas a peace compact
would insure a financial success with
but one league in the field.
These matters will all have to be
taken up by the national commission,
but Ewing does not anticipate any trou-
BILE in gaining his point, for his plans
are reasonable as well as cleverly
formed ones. 1t is likely that Dugdale
also will be present and that he and
Ewing will play into each others hands
when the crucial moment dawns.
The matter of the California state
league also viii occupy Ewings atten-
tion. His recent conference with the
magnates of that organization have re-
suited in some sort of an understanding
between them and Ewing undoubtedly
will lay the matter before the national
commission in the hope that that body
will see fit to take the bush league In
under class B rules.
There is story from Portland to the
effect that the northwest league is
making overtures for McCredie to for
sake the coast league and join forces
with the smaller body. This, however
does not seem reasonable under the
present conditions If two more north
ern cities are admitted Portland surely
Will be satisfied TO stay in fast COM
pany.
