NO OUTLAW BALL
FOR W. M'CREDIE
NORTHERN MAGNATE BELIEVES
IN COMPROMISE
PORTLAND OWNER STILL HAS
ONE MORE CARD
Walter Mccrede Strong In Favor of
Organized Ball, but WllI Fight
If Necessary - Fans
Are Loyal

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 19-Judge
w. w. McCredie, owner of the Portland
club In the Pacific Coast league, ar
rived here late yesterday from San
Francisco, where he has been attending
the meeting of that league.
Judge McCredie was inclined to talk
pacifcally concerning the refusal of
the Coast league directors to permit
the Northwestern league to play a
team in Portland in 1910. He declared
that he was not over anxious to sane
tion outlaw baseball, but could not say
positively what his course would be un-
til after he had had a conference with
David Il. Dugdale, manager of the Seat
tie club in the Northweste i league.
From casual remarks made by the
Portland magnate 1t would appear he
considers he still has plan which may
secure entrance of the Northwestern
league into this city. This may be a
protest from Portland against permit
ting the former outlaw California
league to play in Sacramento, Oakland
and San Francisco. Judge McCredie
said he judged that the stand taken
by those who voted against the appli-
cation of the Northwestern league at
at the Coast league meeting was in
spired by the action of the Northwest
ern league representatives at the Ma
tional association meeting, the Coast
league directors, according to Judge
McCredie, blaming them for the loss
of the outlaw players who will be COM
PEELED to stay in the California league
for two or more years.

SPECTATOR IS STRUCK BY
DIRK IN ITALIAN THEATER
Actor Drags Injured Playgoer to
Stage and Bees His
Forgiveness

FLORENCE, Nov. 19.-Signor Giov-
ami Grasso, the Sieilion actor, was the
hero of a remarkable incident at the
Politlca theater here. He was playing
one of his fiercest parts, where he has
to stab his enemy with a dagger, When
in the heat of passion Grasso let the
weapon slip out of his hand. 1t alight-
ed in the pit on mans head, cutting
1t slightly.
An indignant member of the audi
ence flung the knife back to the stage,
where it was deXterously caught by
Grasso. Raising it aloft in his hand,
and as though it were accursed,
Grasso smashed it in two, and then
stamped on it.
Then, with a swift bound, Grasso
was in the pit beside the injured man.
The next minute he had climbed back
to the boards, with the victim in his
arms.
After settling him in a chair, Grasso
threw himself on his knees and began
a long entreaty for forgiveness. This
was rapidly granted by the much en-
barrassed playgoer, who on his side
begged to be allowed to return to his
seat. -
But thiswas not to be until Grasso,
weeping copiously, had bestowed no
fewer than fifty resounding kisses ON
the mans cheeks.
The action was greeted with loud
cheers and after Grasso had gracefully
bowed his thanks. the play was re-
sumed and successfully concluded.
