er situation is rapidly heading to-
wards a Northwestern club In Port
land this year, in exchange for a
promise to refrain from figurging
Portland in any scheme for a Glass

OF course, hitch may come in
the negotiations at any time, but
the trend Of events seems to be
towards frame-up for a class B

Coasters fondly hope will either
mean perpetual Glass B ball for
the Northwestern league, coupled
with Coaster supremacy, or an
eight-club greater Coast league.
From appearances Dugdale is
pledged to the eight-club league
proposition, and with McCreedie
the father of the scheme, backing
the movement with all his

the organization of a big Class A

Indian Manager Says Spikes Are Necessary But That the
Rules Committee Would Do Well to Regulate
the Length of the Steel.

Give us spikes, but make them
shorter" is the way Manager Bob
Brown of the Indians sums up the
spike situation.
The time is not ripe for the
abolition of the spike" said Brown
last night to the writer, "but If the
rules committee adopts a uniform
length of the steel cleats, much will
have been done toward eliminating
the great number of serious injur-
les that mar each seasons record.

100 DUCKS2AT A SHOT

Clark Griffith, the Cincinnati
manager, claims to hold the great
est record in the world for quick
execution of ducks. 1t happened
several years ago. Clark was up
in the Dakotas on a hunting trip.
He tells his experience thus:
After l had eaten a cold lunch
at noon l came to strange looking
patch. 1t was down in little hol
low, and all could see was a solid,
quivering, wiggling mass that
looked as IL it was alive all over,
but something l couldn't make out.
II came up q little closer and
saw that it was ducks. 1t had been
very dry fall, and this little patch
was a pond. 1t was the only water
for miles around, and all the ducks
in the world were trying at least to
get their feet into it. They were
SO thick you couldn't see the water.
II shot both barrels into them.
They shook a little bit and / gave
them two more barrels. Then the

cient length. In this league, with
only one grass infield, long spikes
are unnecessary in the infield,
while the outfielders can easily
cover their territory without the
long spike, which is the cause of
the great howl for reform.
Il was only spiked once last year
severely enough to put me out of
the game and then it was because
of the awliwardness of the runner.
Not man in the league that
know of was disabled for any length
of time by the spikes.
"As to this diving head first for
the base proposition, consider a
man in a great deal more danger
sliding into base with his head in
front of pair of spiked shoes than
letting his feet break into the dan
ger zone. An infielder can nearly
always get the runner if he is so
disposed. Injured feet are better
than cracked skulls and long,
jagged scalp wounds.

-FOUR STRAIGHT WINS FROM
PORTLAND" IS S. A. A. c. CRY

With the Portland-Spokane inter-
club smoker little more than a
week off, the S. A. A. c. squad of
boxers and wrestlers are settling
down to the grind of the final train
ing period.
-Four straight wins and first
place in the league" is the slogan
at the club these days, and 1t looks
very much like Portland will have
a hard road to travel when they
pit their finest against the Built
vant-Creel combination.
Red Hughes and Tommy Kelly,
the 105-pound and 125-pound boxers,
are down to weight. They are 60
ing through a daily course of train
ing that would put many of the
tDpnotch pros to shame. Both
youngsters are of the calibre that
fight from the tap of the gong, not
to win decision, but to secure a
knockout.
