crowd of the season. The racing was
brilliant and nothing was more bril-
liant than the running OF the Christ

due TO his gameness. That the crowd

M'CREDIE IS WITH
!. THE COAST LEAGUE
Manager of Beavers Declares
Portland Is Through With
Northwest OUTFIT
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


PORTLAND, Dec. 25.-What is
thought to be the most potent indi-
cation that Portland is through with
the Northwestern league was the re-
quest Friday on the part of Manager
Walter McCredie of the Pacific
Coast league for the return of the
1000 guarantee that McCredie put
in the hands of President Lucas
to assure his team staying in the class
B league throughout the season OF
1909. Furthermore, Walter McCredie
himself said today that it was a 100
to l shot that Portland would not be
represented in the Northwestern
league. and enough was revealed from
the tone of his conversation to assume
that the judge cordially seconded his
sentiments.
DEMANDS HIS coin
Yes, it is true that we made a de-
mand on President Lucas for the re-
turn of the thousand dollars that was
deposited with him as a guarantee of
good faith. said Walter. We can use
that thousand to good advantage right
now L hope that Lucas will turn the
forfeit over to US at once and that our
relations with the Northwestern league
shall cease.
There is no use trying to convince
ones self that Portland people care
for class baseball. Nothing but
financial failure can come from any
team that Portland keeps in the North
western league. It's no use and we
may as well admit now as at any other
time that we are not in favor of
Northwestern league baseball
What Portland wants is the class
A baseball that the Pacific Coast league
is turning out. Dugdale can spout all
he wants about the Northwestern
league and its drawing powers but it
is no use. The Portland ball fans are
more discerning than those of Seattle
Dugdale will have to admit this. They
have always seen better ball than the
Seattle fans, and that is the sole rea-
son.
CONSIDERED A JOKE
The Northwestern league is a joke
anyhow Only two teams in the league
last year made money-Seattle and
Spokane. Portland, Vancouver, Aber-
deem and Tacoma lost coin. This is
not encouraging to the man who sup
plies the clubs resources. The judge
is tired of it after one year, and l am
mighty tired of producing players to
fill up a teamtin the league.
Those Californians are mighty
crafty. They granted without ques-
tion our request for IS weeks of base
ball in Portland, knowing that by so
doing they would limit the Northwest
ern league to eight weeks. The Port
land class B team would be forced to
draw on the road. and / am convinced
that the 1910 team will not do so well
as last years team did, which in itself
is discouraging enough for any plum
ger
All doubt as to whether Gus Fisher
would wear a Portland uniform next
year was dispelled today. when Nc
Credie announced that the nifty
catcher would sign his contract. Mac
received a wire from Cleveland saying
that Portland could use Fisher again
and that Grover Land. who was slated
for a Beaver berth, would remain with
Toledo instead of being switched for
Gus.

The old familiar Bible story Of Samson

been apparently plagiarized in action by
some Liverpool incendiaries.
A remarkable discovery tsays our Liver
pool telegramJ was recently made by a
party of salvage firemen engaged in a cot
ton warehouse which sunday night was
the scene of a slight outbreak of fire.
While search was being made among
the debris, II was noticed that several
bricks had been removed from the wall.
and further examination revealed live
cat with long string attached to its tail,
upon which were the remains of some
charred material that had evidently been
saturated with infiammable liquid.
The theory of the police is that the cat
was deliberately sent into the warehouse
where the cotton was stored. the artificial
tail having been lighted beforehand. The
prompt suppression of the fire Sunday
night no doubt saved the cats life.
The discovery confirms the police In the

They also resent the threatened less Of
