OAKLAND CAPTAIN
SUBMITS HIS CASE
Graham Awaiting Report From
Portland Before Deciding
HetIing's Fate

Captain Harry Wolverton and his
gang of Oakland sluggers arrived yes
terday morning from Portland and be-
fore the team departed for the south
to give battle to the Vernon aggrega-
ton, the Oakland boss registered his
protest with President Graham in the
Wolverton case. Wolverton made it
very sweeping, the protest including
all games in which Heiling took part.
Just as soon as this protest was
lodged with him, Graham wired Cap
tain McCredie to submit his case as
quickly as possible. Graham wants all
the evidence before he makes a de-
cision. In the meantime, he will await
word from Secretary Farrell of the
national commission. Both sides seem
to be very confident. though Oakland
appears to have all the better of it.
There is no question but that Gra-
ham is bit ruffled over the way the
McCredies, Walter and his uncle, W.
W., have acted. Their actions indicate
that they would defy the president of
the Coast league and pass everything
up to the national association What
action that body will take remains to
be seen. 1t lso will have to hear all
evidence first.
1t certainly looks like long and an
ugly fight. The fans of Portland, in
huenced by a certain newspaper of
their town, have been led to believe
that Graham and other Coast league
officials here in San Francisco are try
ing to beat Portland out of the pen
nant. AS matter of fact, Portland
will be lucky to win the pennant even
with Hetlin greinstated The Oaks
are giving them the battle of their
lives and even playing better ball.
The Oaks departed for Los Angeles
yesterday afternoon and this after
noon will open a series of seven games
with. Vernon. Jack Lively, the win
ming pitcher of the transbay aggre-
cation, is slated to pitch the first
game, and the chances are that he will
