COAST LEAGUE is
ENTITLED TO A
BETTER RATING
Manager Walter McCredie
of Portland Submits Facts
and Figures in Support of
Contention.

San Francisco, Dec. 2.-That the
Pacific baseball league is entitled to
big league rating, is the opinion ex-
pressed by Manager Walter McCredie,
OF the Portland club.
-Four clubs in the Pacific Coast
league have parks that are within
easy access of enough people to war
rant big league franchises for their
towns" said McCredie.
He believes that there are $4,000
persons in Los Angeles at present be-
sides the great number of tourists who
are constantly passing through the
southern city.
Counting the population of the inn
mediate vicinity, he grants that there
are fully $4,000 persons settled with
in hailing distance Of Washington park,
Los Angeles.
When the Angels are away Vernon
plays at Washington park, making
two Coast league clubs in line for the
major league honor.
CAN DRAW ON MILLION.
San Francisco and Oakland are the
other two clubs which McCredie says
should outdraw several major league
cities. 1t is said that there are 1,000,-
900 persons in San Francisco, Oak
land and other smaller places close
at hand.
There were 416,sf2 persons in San
Francisco at the last census and $780,
TIA in Oakland. Then there are Ala
media with 10000, Berkeley with 50,-
900, Richmond with 10000 and East
Oakland with 10000, besides many
other hamlets. McCredie thinks that
there are 100000 people in San Fran
cisco now, while he estimates Oakland
at 1885, 900.
Salt Lake had s2,777 at its last cen
sus, while It is estimated that there are
at least $4,000 persons there now.
There are about 275, 900 persons in
Portland.
SALT LAKE ONE OF BEST.
Although none OF the Coast league
organizations had lost much money in
the last few years." said McCredie,
when one thinks Of the enormous
field for baseball 1t fairly makes one
sick to think that the sport is not
drawing better. Los Angeles is not
paying as it should and Salt Lake,
the smallest town in the circuit, is one
Oh lNc pest.
Il think that business Will be bet
ter next year and that 1917 will find
baseball what it should be and that
all of the owners will make some
money for themselves"
To strengthen his argument that Los
Angeles. Vernon, Oakland and San
Francisco are "big league" towns.
Manager McCredie cited the population
of several major league cities. They
follow:
Cleveland, 56O.66S; st. Louis. ss7,o29:
Boston, 6705S5; Pittsburg, 533,905; De-
troit. 465,766; Cincinnati, 364,463, and
Washington. 331 ,069.
ANOTHER COMPARISON.
Milwaukee, the largest city In the
American Association, a class AA
league, has only 373,S57 people.
'rhe Pacific Coast league should be
the best class AA circuit in the coun-
try continued McCredie. THE season
is the longest and California affords
the best baseball climate in the world.
OF course, we are handicapped by long
jumps, but this is overcome by our
week and sometimes two weeks stand
in one city.

The Man Who Bet.

The man who bet on the general re-
suit of the election is in sorry state
of mind. He had expected to be as
sured Of the outcome within few hours
after the polls closed, and now, forty
eight hours later, he is in doubt. Hav-
ing staked his money perhaps two or
three months ago, he is impatient be-
cause of the delay Of day or two, or
possibly week. The event is no longer
ahead. 1t has passed, and the verdict is
not known. He strains at the leash of
delay. Why cannot the election officials
in far-off California or North Dakota or
New Mexico or in the hills of West Vir-
ginia hurry in their countingf The
plunger takes it as a personal afront
that the returns are sd slow. He re-
cards the hardness Of the count as
conspiracy to do him out Of his money.
He talks Of fraud. He forgets that in
every election there are belated returns
from every state, counties that are not
complete in their tabulation and report
ing for days after the voting. Usually
these backwater districts do not cut a
figure in the general result, as the plu-
ralities have gone to such figures that
the outcome does not rest upon few
hundred votes. So they are not noticed
save by the exact statisticians Of cleo

The Next House,

The House is very close. Some days
may be necessary to decide the question
Of control. But the country is fortu-
nate in the fact that, whichever party
wins, the leadership of the body will be
in capable and much respected hands.
Democratic control should, and prob
ably will, mean the reelection of Mr..
Clark to the speakership, and the re-
appointment of Mr.. Kitchin to the
craftsmanship Of ways and means. Each
is familiar with the duties of the place
he now fills. Each has just received q
handsome Endorsement at home. Both
Missouri and North Carolina voted for
Mr.. Wilson Tuesday. Clark and Kitchin
In another democratic House will be not
only meritorious but logical for the
places named.
Republican control should as surely
mean Mr.. Mann for the speakership and
Mr.. Fordney for the craftsmanship of
ways and means. Both would serve well.
Each has just received handsome in
dersement at home. Both Illinois and
Michigan voted for Mr.. Hughes Tues
day, the former by cracking majority.

lions, who like the precise returns for
computations of popular majorities and
percentages and ratios. The man who
wagers on the election must wait, how
ever, along with others. He took q
chance on q gamble Of which he had no
knowledge whatever, betting on his feel
ings or his partisanship or his self
assured political acumen, which is worth
precisely nothing in judging as to the
temper of a country Of hundred mil
lion people in the matter of presidential
choice. There should be no sympathy
for him in his present state Of suspense.
Graver issues rest upon the result Of
Tuesdays voting than the overturn Of
loosely wagered cash.

=TTIE DAILY STORE NEWS OF RICH
The Soldiers Votes May Decide.

The Star noted the other day the fact
that the absentee vote cast by the mill
tiamen on the border might decide the
election, and that the delay in counting
this vote might postpone the decision
for some time. That very condition now
presents itself. In Minnesota, in Cali
fornia and perhaps in some other states
the result may depend upon the ballots
of the guardsmen from those states now
on duty in Texas and Arizona, whose
votes have been cast and are on their
way to the respective state capitals to
be separated into packets for the cleo
ton districts and to be canvassed along
with the other ballots officially. This
makes for delay. In Minnesota particu-
larly the soldiers votes may cut de-
cisive figure. In New York, from which
state the largest number Of guardsmen
are now on the border, the result is not
close, and these ballots cannot be Of i'm
portance It will be remarkable spec
tacle if the men who have been during
the campaign far from home, who have
heard no speeches and have not been in
the thick of the fight, should, in effect,
cast the ballot of the country for Presi-
dent. Yet that may be the fact.

Mr.. Mann possesses all the qualifications
necessary for the speakership, while Mr..
Fordney is an authority on the tariff,
and has served in the House for eigh-
teen years.
The very small majority now indicated
will require skill in the handling, and
especially if it is Of republican COM
plexion. For the Senate will be demo
cratic. Hence any legislation on ques-
tions of importance will have to be con-
structed carefully on compromise lines.
And such legislation on probably sew
eral questions will be urged.
But even continued full democratic
controlgranting Mr.. Wilson's re-elec-
ton and another democratic Housewife
impose care and conservatism. A very
small majority in the House and re-
duced majority in the Senate will op-
crate as check on extremism Of all
kinds, and maybe against hold-ups, if
any should be attempted.
No reference to the next House would
be complete without mention of Mr..
Cannon. He will be a member, in not
only good but affectionate standing. His
place on Capitol Hill is now unique.
There is sort Of contest between the
two sides of the chamber as to which
shall show most consideration. His par
tisanship, while still stout, is mellow,
and his large information and long ex-
perience give to his suggestions value
all their own.

The Final Reference.


Bring out the old arithmetic-in times
of stress intense
It is the book we turn to to dissolve the
great suspense.
However we philosophize or study day
and night
From history to learn just how to guide
the world Alright,
Our libraries we must forsake to meet
the final test.
The ethical discourse, however strong, is
laid to rest.
We settle down and figure as life's mys-
teries we explore,
And show how 2 times l makes Q; and
and 2 make 4.
The libraries are full Of books that show
just why and how
Achievements should be measured by
mans loftiness Of brow.
Though history repeats itself, what
prophet ever knew
Just when and in what form the repeti-
ton might be duet
The library is full Of books on morals,
art and law,
And economics, it has gems Of thought
without flaw.
But when results in any earthly scheme
we seek to note
The old arithmetic is the authority we
quote.

Four New Senators.

These men will add materially to the
strength of the republican side in the
Senate: Gov. johnson of California, Mr..
Watson of Indiana, Mr.. Frelinghuysen
of New Jersey and Mr.. Knox of Penn
sylvania.
For some time Gov. johnson has been
rated as leading political figure on the
Pacific coast. In the matter Of drive
and energy he resembles Mr.. Roosevelt,
and ran with him on the bull moose
presidential ticket four years ago. The
qualities he has shown at home he
should show in the larger field here. He
will come at good time for that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Watson will be no stranger in
Washington. His long service in the
House was conspicuous, and he ranked
among the leaders there. He is CAPT
tai speaker, and thorough parliamen-
tartan, and will find in the Senate full
opportunity for the exercise Of his tai
ents. His popularity was tested in this
race. He was pitted against Thomas
Taggart, who, with the aid Of his ma
diana.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen is much admired
and trusted at home, both for personal
qualities and for public enterprise.
Blood will tell; and blood runs in poll
tics. The Frelinghuysens have almost
from the beginning been conspicuous in
the public life of New Jersey, and done
the state much service. This latest
member Of the family to receive high
commission will doubtless in Office show
the marks of the stock
Mr.. Knox will return to a forum where
few years ago he shone as leader.
1t was his success in the Senate which
led to his appointment as Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Taft had need of just such
man, and was fortunate in inducing
Mr.. Knox to accept the portfolio of State
in his cabinet. In that Office Mr.. Knox
added to the laurels he had won in the
Senate.
1t so happens that in the next few
years the Senate will be called on to
consider important questions both of
law and diplomacy; and Mr.. Knox is an
eminent lawyer and altogether familiar
with foreign affairs. That his commit
tee assignments will be in keeping with
his high qualifications and experience
may be assumed.
The retirement of Mr. Root left the
republicans of the Senate much the
poorer. The return of Mr.. Knox will
be most welcome on that account. He
should make up the loss in large meas
ure, and succeed in lines to which Mr..
Root when senator addressed himself.
