None needed to ask the reason
for this. So Villereal turned much
of his resources into cash and

came later. Some were poor, but
they were all patriots. These he

loan alleged to have been made by
that concern to her husband. The
woman is not denying that her hus-
band is indebted to the sharkish
money lenders, but declares the

She states that she expressed her
surprise, and told the collector that
she knew nothing of the loan, but
was told that she was "respon-

WILL COASTERS HAVE
SPOKANE IN 1911?

A Greater Pacific Coast league
for 1911, with California domination
guaranteed by five clubs in the
south and three in the north is the
dream of Cal Ewing and his Coaster
cOnfreres.
Bob Brown is a good guesser. He
figured out Ewing's scheme the
first shot. In exchange for the priv
ilege of playing Northwestern
league ball in Portland in 1910, per
missing must be given for the turn
ing over of the Seattle and Spokane
franchises to the Coaster Organiza-
ton in 1911.
What will the Northwesterners
do? VIII they vote to exclude Port
land and temporarily preserve the
remainder of the league, or give up
the fight to the Coasters, permit
the CalifOrnians to grab the big
cities of the northwest and relegate
the remaining clubs of the North
western league to B or C league
struggling for mere existence.
Whether or no the majority of
the Northwestern mOgulS vote to
exclude Portland from their circuit
for the coming season, it is evident
that the Mercedes and Dugdale
are planning to desert the class B
league and enter the Coaster fold.
Things look mighty blue for the
northern circuit.
The one factor in the situation
which offers a solution of the prob,
lem satisfactory to the Northwest
erners is the attitude of Congress
man McCreedie. The Judge states
that he is in favor of an eight club
league, but with four clubs in the
north and four in the south. If he
sticks to this, the negotiations with
the Coasters may be called off, or
the class \ league so organized as
to satisfy the class B moguls.
Neither President Joe COIN or
Manager Bob Brown are willing to
make any statement as to what
they intend to do in the matter.
