JUDGE McCREDlE ASSUMES
ROLE OF. PROPHET
Declares There Will Be Four Cities
in the North and Four in the

rangement
ASSOCIATED Pressl

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 5.-Prophe-
sying an eight-team all-coast league as
the solution of the complex baseball
situation on this coast, Judge w. w.
McCredie owner of both Portland base
ball teams, in an interview from Wash
ington, asserts that not only is the
north coast not bush" town circuit,
but that the Northwestern Portland
team made more money than it's Coast
league sister, except in its home town.
Judge McCradie said:
1T is absolutely untrue that I was
not willing to support a team in the
Northwestern league in 1910, provided
permission was granted by the Pacific
Coast league. My support has been all
the time for the Northwestern league
and still is"
Judge McCredie said that if this per-
mission had been granted he would
have carried out his part of the agree
ment as to having a Northwestern
league team. "The cities composing
the Northwestern league are not bush
cities" he said, "as my distinguished,
but unthoughtful nephew, dubs them"
and to prove his point he asserted that
Portland's Northwestern league team
during the first nine weeks while on
the road in 1909, took in more than
$4,000 moro than did the Coast league
team during a similar period.
Judge McCredie said that the North
western league lost money at home be-
cause Portland pinned its preference to
the Coast league. Judge MeCredie also
declared that some day an all-coast
league with four cities in the north
and four in the south, would be or
ganized and be a success.

St. Vincents college was recon-
mended to be admitted into the South
ern California college conference last
evening by the members of the local
branch of the A. A. U. at q regular
me citing held at the Y. NJ c. A.
Chester Lawrence put the motion be-
fore the board couched in the follow
ing words: I've, as members of the
Southern California Amateur Athletic
association, hope that satisfactory ar
rangement can be made by which St
Vincent's college may be admitted into
the college conference" This motion
passed unanimously and is expected to
carry considerable weight when the
Catholic application comes up before
the conference board to be acted upon
Admittance to the conference has been
the all-absorbing topic with the Saints
for some time, as athletic schedules
under existing conditions has been the
problem that has considerably worried
the athletic board at that institution
The Saints always have been too
strong, especially in football and base
ball, for the schools of Southern Cali
fornia that are not included in the con-
ference schedule and in the past have
been forced to make dates with Berkely
and Stanford.
st. Vincent wishes to enter the con-
ference upon the same footing that
Whittier college was admitted, which
allows senior preps to represent the
college in athletics. As the bulk of the
student body at the Catholic institution
is in the academic department this
clause in the application is necessary,
and is fair request when already one

said O'Day in narrating his experiences
while with the All-Stars on their re-

some good players there and the in

are hundreds of Americans in Havana,
and the way those Cuban teams beat

ATHLETICS ON BOOM
AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH
Track and Baseball Squads Showing
Good Class and Winning Teams
Are Expected to Be
Developed

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 5.--The track
and baseball teams of the Hollywood
union high school had their first prac-
tice OF the year this afternoon. A num-
Der were trying out for each team,
which will be selected within a short
time.
The track team will have its first
dual meet Saturday, January Is, with
the Pasadena team on the latter's
track. All of those who made points
in the interclass meet, which was held
the first of December, will be given
trial in this meet. The school has plen-
ty of good material this year, and the
partisans of the team expect it to be
a winner.
Coach Webster has a good lineup for
his baseball squad this year, and it is
anticipated the team will be much
stronger than it was last year, although
the record of the '09 team was one OF
the best in Southern California among
the high schools. Knowles and Lin
ton, star pitchers, will make up the
pitching staff, and Valdez will be the
receiver. The greater number OF the
positions will be filled by new men on
the high school team, but all have made
good showing on the diamond else
where.

SLASHING SCRAP
IS ANTICIPATED
MEMSIC AND W0LGAST QUIT
WORK TODAY
Both Possess Knockout Punch and
if They Make 1t Open Fight,
Bout Should Not Go to
the Limit

Notwithstanding that fight experts
are inclined to make Ad Wolgast the
favorite in his scrap tomorrow night
with George Memsic, there is we'll
defined and unmistakable sentiment
generally among the fans that Ad is
up against a big job and that it will
not be much of a surprise if Memsic
repeats his former victory over the
milwaukee boy. All this indicates that
the bows will be held rather closely in
the odds along about the hour they
are 10 crawl through the ropes and
that the fans are expecting a ripping,
slashing period of real action from
the first to the last blow.
Memsic will so into the ring about
five pounds advantage and it is no
exaggeration to say that he VIII be
in better condition than when he fought
Wolgast several months ago. All
this would convince one that he is as
near to a cinch as is possible for one
fighter to be over another were IL not
for the further fact that all must ad-
nit that Wolgast is a far better fight
er today than he was eight or nine
months ago. But whether his i'm
provement has been enough to over
come the Improvement in Memsic and
his superiority at the time of their
last meeting is the real question that
is being asked
If Memsic had not improved any,
Wolgast certainly would be looked up
on as the better fighter, because his
improvement has been something bor-
dering upon the remarkable. He may
be so much better as a fighter now
than tI1er at he will he able to WhiD
Memsc, but there are many who will
be found stringing on the Memsic end
of the betting when the bell tells them
to go at it.
Both boys kept up their steady
grind at their training camps yester-
day and will wind up the training
period this afternoon. Neither has any
complaints to offer either in fact or
appearance and undoubtedly will have
no excuse to offer on this score after
the battle is ended. Either boy has a
chance to win by the knockout route
and as they intend to put up a rough
house, rustling fight all the way there
IS a possibility of such an ending.
Both slug like heavyweigths and each
is clever enough to make an opening
inside Of ten seconds.
Sam Langford has not replied to
Manager McCarey yet and as the dis
patches state that he was signed UP
yesterday to fight some dub over in
Pittsburg the night of January IS,
it is probable that he never has re-
ceived any Of the many wires Nc
Carey has sent him. An all-star card
of three bouts, all at ten rounds, will
be staged January IS and the Lang
ford Flynn scrap will be put on the
boards as soon thereafter as is pos
sibe.

Artificial COloring.

There can be no objection whatever
to the artificial coloring of butter, so
long as the effect is not physically in
furious to the consumer. Not bit of
it. No more objection to that than
there is for the good restaurateur to
garnish broiled mackerel with dainty
sprig of green to improve the appear
ance of the dish or for the enterprising
grocer to combine fruit so prettily in a
basket as to tempt the passer-by; and,
along the same line of reasoning, there
should be no objection to the coloring
of artificial butter when the purpose
simply is to give it more appetizing
hue. 1t is the cow owners misfortune
that art is affecting his business injur-
iously by presenting a substitute for
butter that is just as pure and whole
some as butter at half the price. The
COW has no rightful claim to the owner

THERE IS selfish and personal rea-
son why the newspapers and magazines
are attacking Taft and his administra-
ton The newspapers use a lot OF
print paper, some of them many tons a
day. They wanted the paper cheaper
and they laid the high price to the tariff
on pulp paper. The large daily news
papers framed combine for the pur-
pose of bullying congress to put paper
pulp on the free list. They succeeded
in getting a reduction of only 81 per
cent. Hence they are ugly and the
whole tariff bill is wrong. In the new
tariff there were 654 decreases, 220 in
creases, and 1900 items of the dutiable
list unchanged, but this did not repre-
sent the fair proportion in most of the
reductions and the increases, because
the duties were decreased on those ar
ticles which had a consumption value
of nearly $4,000, 900, 600, while they
were increased on those articles which
had consumption value of less than
81, 900, 900, 900. 49,
