SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-The
Portland Baseball club of the Pacific
Northwest league may reenter Port
land territory, provided the directors
of the Northern league agree to allow
the Aberdeen team to play again. This
was decided tonight at a meeting Of
the directors of the Coast league, now
in control of the Portland territory.
A resolution was passed to this eff
feet and word will be awaited from the
men who are conducting the affairs OF
the other league.
This edict was issued after the dir
ectors had heard the case of c. III.
Rowland, former manager of the Alb
erdeen aggregation. Rowland COM
planned that he had been unjustly
treated when his club was excluded
from the league following the action
of the local magrates in denying the
Portland team the Portland territory.

SDOkdne Club Hot
After the penndnf

News comes from New York that
President Lynch of the National league
has announced the releases Of Paul
Brown and Roy Koener, of the Chicago
Cubs, to Spokane. Joe Conn, president
of the Spokane club, went east looking
for a couple of right handed pitchers,
and maybe he has landed a couple in
Brown and Koener. Before leaving
Spokane Cohn announced that he
would try to find Phil Cooney, and if
money was any object he would annex
the little Hebrew shortstop to his pay
roll. Since Joe went east it develops
that Cooney signed with Cleveland and
then found that he was to be turned
back to Walter McCredie, of Portland.
There is a feud on between Cooney
and McCredie. Cooney was declared a
free agent because McCredie cou' d not
produce contract signed by him, but
McCredie claimed that Cooney signed
a contract and had made away with it
while the season was on. To get even
with Cooney, McCredie had planned
to turn him over to the Aberdeen club,
but the dropping of Aberdeen from the
northwestern circuit rather upset that
plan. Clarence Rowland, of the Alb
erdeen club, went to Portland the 9TH
er day, and said he was ready to go
through with the Cooney deal, but Nc
Credie called off the deal and wired the
Cleveland club to dispose of Cooney
elsewhere. AS Cohn is now in the east
he may be able to fix up a deal with
Cleveland for Cooney. The fact that
Cohn is scouting for players to round
out the Spokane club should be tip
for Dugdale, Brown and Shredder to
keep busy or the Spokane man will
catch them mapping.
