TALKS OF
BASEBALL
UNITED PRESS I.nAsrp WIRE. ]

Spokane, Nov. 20.-Walter Nc
Credie, manager of the Portland
Beavers, is hitting the high places
toward Portland today. On his ar
rival here yesterday, returning from
the Memphis meeting he learned
the real facts of the action of the
Coast League magnates in barring
the Northwestern League from Port
land After absorbing all of the
available dope, he said
Pm tired of California, and had
expected and yet hope to manage a
Portland Northwestern League club
next year. This country looks good
to me, and honestly California is
so rotten, it even chokes an old war;
horse like me. You can say for me
that I'm with the Northwesterners in
,-is fight. I'd like to settle some old
scores down there.
Il wasn't so much surprised that
the Coast League voted out the
double club deal in Portland. 1t was
the only thing they could do. Cal
Ewign pulled off the biggest bonery
of his career when he let the North
western League in there last year
They are afraid of the Northwestern
League now. It's just a question of
nerve.
THE Northwestern can win, if
ey go into the battle right. Port
land fans will be with them now,
where they might not have been last
summer. The play has come up Just
right and the Northwestern League
will never have another chance as
good as this"
Berry Scores the Judge"
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 20.-Man-
ager Henry Berry, of the Los Ange-
les Coast League club, was positive
in his statement today that there
would be no outlaw league in the
Northwest next season, and conse-
quently no continuance of the base
bal lwar on the Pacific coast.
Berry returned yesterday from
San Francisco, where he attended the
annual meeting of the league mag
mates. He stated today that Judge
McCredie gave his personal assurance
in San Francisco that Portland would
not desert the Coasters.
"McCreedie has had all that he
asked for, and he ought to be hap
py," said Berry. He asked for two
clubs in Portland for one year, and |
ne had them. Since the league mag
hdleS nave ueClueu lndL InlS agree
ment must be maintained, 1 think |
the judge will abide by the ruling, |
and keep peace. Spokane and Seat |
tie could not become parties to an |
outlaw agreement. If Dougdale |
starts anything there, we will inn
mediately put clubs in those cities,
and carry the fight to him. The
Portland franchise is worth $4,000,
while the other two could be taken
up for $4,000. This money could
be raised easily in the Coast League
cities, and the franchise purchased.
1 think the present difficulty will be
over nicely"

The MistIetoe.

The mistletoe is Druidical con-
tribution to Christmas. 1t was held
in great veneration by the Druids in
ancient England, and the cutting of
it was attended by sacrificing and
feasting. With weird incantations
the priest climbed the tree on which
the mistletoe grew and cut it away
with knife OF purest gold, no base
metal being allowed to touch it. AS
the twigs fell they were received be-
low in a mantle of spotless whiteness.

Portland capital has never favored
towns having a direct connection
with the state capital. Salem capitai
should get behind a direct railroad
connection, steam or electric, with
McMinnville, Mehama and Silverton.
That would do more to develop and
build up the Willamette valley than
any other Investment that can be
made.

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Christmas Shopping.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
The movement started several years
ago by the Consumers League for the
education of the public in the advan-
tages and the humanity of early
Christmas shopping. has gained such
an impetus that this year, for the first
time it has reached point where pos
tive progress can be recorded. This
is a practical application to that aspect
OF Christmastide which has always
been most open to criticism-the COM
mercialism of the festival-of that real
spirit of good will to men," which is
its most valuable characteristic. No
one can fail to have been struck by
the worry and anxiety and actual suf-
fering that nearly always attends the
last stages of Christmas shopping. and
it is to the mitigation of these draw .
backs, constituting so conspicuous a
contradiction of the spirit of Christ
mas" that the women of the Consum
ers' League have devoted their ener-
gies.

Broken Party Lines.

From the New York World
Not since Mr.. Cleveland's second ad-
ministration have party lines at Wash
ington been SO broken as they are to-
day when the Sixty-first congress for
its first regular session. Democrats
and republicans alike are divided. In
the House, Speaker Cannon faces an
insurgent revolt; but Champ Clark,
the opposition leader, can not COM
mand the unanimous support of the
democratic representatives. Senator
Culberson has resigned the thankless
task of leading the democratic minori-
ty in the Senate, and Senator Aldrich
finds his own leadership sharply chal :
lenged by radical senators from the
west. Republican senators and rep
resentatives can be found who are no
less radical than MIR. Bryan and Mr..
Clark. and there are democratic sena-
torns and representatives who are no
less conservative than Mr.. Aldrich and
Mr.. Cannon.

of course, to Boone County, Indiana.

From the Kansas City Star.
England has always stood before
the world as the very embodiment of
conservatism. The stodgy figure of
John Bull itself is supposed to repre-
sent the national character. The
Britisher has always protested the
greatest contempt for the mercurial
Frenchmen-who really aren't so mer-
curial after all. England. you will re-
call, is the land where freedom
broadens slowly down from precedent
to precedent" while across the chan
mel there are likely to be outbreaks of
the red fool fury of the Seine" Mr..
Lloyd-George. chancellor of the ex-
cheQuer, has given the lie to all that
1t remained for this wonderful little
Welshman to. demonstrate that all the
Englishman needed to become thor
ough-going progressive was leader.

There are two kinds of discomfort


There are two kinds of discomfort.
One kind Is that which finds fault
with conditions and wines about them.
but does nothing to change conditions.
II was discontented.' says the man
who deserts his wife and leaves his
family in distress.
Il was Disconnected" says the mer-
chant who fails because he Is always
changing.
Il was discontented." says the wo-
man who by indiscretion or worse
ruins her good name.
Il was discontented." says the young
man who gets drunk and loses his po-

That sort of discomfort makes mat

ure, crime.
But there is another kind.
Discomfort is yeast. 1t troubles the
human spirit. But the purpose of it is
to develop ambition. faith. courage,
accomplishment. That sort of discon-
tent has urge In it. 1t spurs the spirit.
1t is a ''divine discomfort" because it
does not merely find fault with things,
but determines to change them.
There's Abraham Lincoln.
He was poor. homeiy in appearance.
awkward. unlearned. The yeast in his
soul made him disconnected with these
things. but it also impelled him to
change them in so far as he could.
That was why he walked miles to
get Weems' Life of Washington" and
studied it by the titfui blaze of the
fireplace and afterward carried Euclid

And there is Cromwell. who. discon.

And Victor Hugo. whose divine dis
