GRAHAM FAVORS

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

Especial Dispatch TO The Call
PORTLAND, Ore, July 22.-Judge
Thomas F. Graham, president of the
Pacific Coast league, preparatory to
leaving for California tomorrow night,
announced himself as heartily in favor
of the expansion of the league to eight
clubs next season, and Endorsed w. w.
Mercedes idea of four clubs north and
four south.
Graham has been enormously re-
ported as being in favor of an eight
club league, but with FIVE clubs in
California and three north This he
denied absolutely Graham asserted
that he was in favor of the policy that
would best suit the league and form a
successful circuit. After conferring
with McCredie, president of the Port
land baseball club, Graham believed
the Portland magnate had the right
idea as to the proper expansion of the
league.
Il am positively in favor of Judge
Mercedes idea of expansion, said
Graham. "and / must also announce
that I am delighted with my stay in
Portland
Getting back to baseball, must say
that Portland is one of the most loyal
and enthusiastic cities / was ever in.
1t is a credit to the league, and Walter
McCredie has a fine team, which viii
be in the fight all the way AS for
next years circuit, you can quote me
as being heartily in favor of Judge Nc
Credie's plan, and | shall indorse his
motion for an expansion 10 eight clubs
as much as / can, as president of the
league.
,"As | have no interest in any club,
/ am not in a position to act as sum-
marily as 1 otherwise would after hav-
ing investigated the conditions. sui
IL is my opinion that the club owners
of the other five clubs are seriously
thinking of Mercedes plan for an eight
club league, and l do not believe 1t Will
meet with any opposition when it is
reached in the fall.

WHITES REPLACE BLACKS
ON SUGAR PLANTATIONS
Kanakas Ousted i'm Queensland
bY Caucasians

A remarkable change has come over
the conditions under which sugar is
grown in Queensland. In 1902 the
amount produced was 1885 tons, of
which upward of $4,000 tons were
grown by black labor In 1908 the crop
Yielded $50, 400 tons, of which no less
than 13z,07S tons were the product of
white workers. A still more important
outcome of the removal of the kanakas
has been the cutting up of many of the
largest individual plantations among
small holders. Today there are far
more sugar growers in Queensland
than there were in the days Of black
labor.
