A CITATION looking toward the en-
IN largement of the coast league
"A into an eight-club organization
still continues in the northwest terri
tory, now inhabited by the regular
Northwestern league, presided over by
President Lucas and backed by
ubiquitous coterie, headed by Dugdale
of the Seattle team. With the Portland
McCredies crying to the heavens over
alleged wrongs, the Dugdales and Lu-
cases and whatnots of the Northwest
erners making idle threats of outlaw
ball unless their demands are needed
by the national commission, and the
California State league making its last
gasp for the breath of life, the baseball
situation ON the Pacific coast at present
resembles q huge pot ready to boil over,
but always kept just below the seeth-
ing point by a steady hand on the fuei
gauge.
There are several changes in view
next year. 1t is not without the bounds
of possibility that the Coast league Will
be enlarged to eight clubs. But with
Henry Berry, j. w. Brooks, VOTERS OF
Oakland and Charlie Graham of Sacra-
mento lined up solidly together there
is little chance of a change coming that
will have for it's object the elimination
of Vernon or the discrimination OF
continuous ball for Los Angeles. w.
4. "
backed by the above named directors
of the Coast league, and glance VIII
show that the vote he has behind him
is preponderating. There is one COM
bination that cannot be beaten, and
that is an overwhelming majority. This
is what the northwesterners face IN
starting a fight to replace Vernon with
a middle California or extreme northern
team. The Coasters may become an
eight-club league, but not with the sac
rifce of continuous baseball for Los
Angeles.
Admirers of John House. the Indian
fielder of the Senators, have noted his
absence from the Sacramento lineup for
several days, and the reason Is given by
the Sacramento Union:
According to the best information
obtainabe John House. Sacramento's
Indian outfielder, started for Burling-
ton, Iowa, where he intends to be lead
ing man at the elimination of Strong
heart romance, with a better ending
than is found in the famous play
House has had a pale-faced maiden
content only with a picture of his
swarthy features for almost a year, but
now he is going to supply the reality.
House knows he can have his re-
lease from Graham when he wants it,
and though he has received no definite
has departed.
John played three years with Burling-
ton. and during that time found that
Cupid was better with the stick than
he: but little break occurred, so they
say, and House decided to leave Bur-
lington for a short while, so he signed
with Fresno, and Sacramento took him.
Those who have seen the woman's
photo say that House has very good
taste"

Notes of the Game

Toman re-entered the game yester-
day, calling balls and strikes, with Van
Haltren at the bases. Jimmy was a
bit peeved and handed Orendorff a dose
in the seventh, putting him out of the
game for roaring over a third strike,
which the Angel catcher thought was
too low.
All the old relables had an off day
for McCredie yesterday, and the Beaver
leader tossed many a pebble into the
air as the errors piled up.
