Docks Unable to Hit Rook
and Graingrowers Win SO
Visitors Held to
Four Measley Hits
and No Free Passes

Herbert Rook, Fargo -Moorhead hurl-
er, charmer Of that pellet known as a
baseball, held the hard-hitting Duluth
crew to four very widely scattered hits
yesterday, and Fargo -Moorhead had
little trouble winning the fourth game
Of the present series, the first game
under the new schedule, by score Of
5 to o.
Rook pitched gilt-edge ball all the
way through, and on no occasion was
in danger But one of the opposing
players reached third base, and then
only after two were out.
Webb, Duluth's third baseman, was
the only one OF the opposing batsmen
that could touch Rocks offerings.
Webb connected for three of the four
hits, and one Of those was of de-
cidedly scratchy order.
Rook famed six, and did not isuse
a base on balls. His only slip of the
game came when he delivered wild
pitch in the seventh, advancing Sours
from first to second.
Handee, on the hill for Duluth,
pitched good ball, but was touched up
when hits meant runs. Each OF ms
three bases on balls were turned into
runs by the locals when mixed with
hits and Duluth misplays.
The hitting of Webb of Duluth and
Meixell of Fargo Moorhead were fea-
lures Of the game. The former got
three hits in four times to the plate
and the latter two wallops in two
trips to the plate. Meixell also scored
two of Fargo Moorhead's five runs.
Yesterdays victory marked the sew
enth straight win of the locals.
How Runs Were Made.
Fargo -Moorhead made its first run
without a hit, or error. MeiXen. the
lead-off man, drew, a base on balls,
took second on Joe Weidell's sacrlhce,
third on Kernan's infield out and
scored on a wild pitch by Handee.
The third saw two more runs over.
Bachant was an easy out, but Rook
went to nrst on a free pass, and went
to second on Meixelrs sacrifice. Joe
Weidell took Handles third free pass
to first base Kernan's single scored
Rock. and Weidell following close to
Rocks heels raced for home when
Bunny Schrieber threw wild to third
and made it. Herman took third on the
play, but died there when Unglaub
was an easy out to Wolfe.
Bachant opened the fifth with a
double. and advanced on Rocks sacri-
fee. MeixelPs two-bagger scored
Bachant. Meixell came across the pan
a few moments later on kernans S
second bingle of the game.

Big CLAIM
OF DODGERS
TURNED DOWN
Baseball Commission Refus-
es to Allow Brooklyn
Amount Asked

Cincinnati, July 1.-THE claim of
| the Brooklyn National league club OF
| $75,293.81 against the Newark club Of
the international league was yesterday
denied by the National baseball
commission, President Johnson Of the
American league, member Of the
commission, refusing to concur. The
| commission, however, did allow the
| Brooklyn club the difference between
the amount received for the franchise
| of the Newark club by the Internation-
al league, and the net expenses in
CURED In operating the club during
the year 1915, at Harrisburg, Pa, and
Newark
According to the commission the
claim of the Brooklyn club was correct
and there was no manipulation in
money matters between these clubs
but, owing to the fact that the Brook
lyn club refused to dispose of it's inter-
ests in the Newark club when told to
do so by the commission, the original
claim Of $75,293.S1 was disallowed.
The finding points out that the
Brooklyn club later offered to settle
the case upon it's being paid $4,000
but the commission ruled that but for
several extraordinary features Of the
case the commission would allow this
compromise"
The commission says the profits of
+ the Newark club for 1913 were $26, 900
and in the fall of that year $50, 400 was
offered for the stock held by the Nc
Keevers and c. H. Ebbets, sr., which
the latter states was declined because
the offer did not include the stock of
Messrs. Medicus and Solomon at the
same price per share.
Instead of needing the, commits
sions warning at a time when the ac-
ceptance of the offer of $60,400 for
their interest, which with their share
of the clubs 1913 profits of $4,000
would have enabled them 20 realize on
their Newark investment, the majority
Of the stockholders of the Brooklyn
club continued this connection and
used the Brooklyn club treasury for
funds for the conduct Of a club in the
national leapue' continued the finding,
and therefore the original claim was
dismissed"
In a supplemental statement sup
porting the findings, President Tener
of the National league paid high
tribute to the Brooklyn club for pay
ing the obligations of Newark during
the Federal league war and thereby
retaining is at as member of organiz-
ed baseball.
President Johnson in refusing to
concur in the finding stated that he
would submit a minority report later.

INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK
FOR OREGON IN 1915

In Oregon there has been decid-
ed change in favor of better indus
trial and business conditions.
The last legislature started q
movement for taX-reductlon and
ceased putting over legislative expert
ments.
The Tax Commission and Public
Utility Commission adopted conser-
vative policies of encouraging cap
ital already invested.
Conservative administration of Ia
Dor laws has also helped some in
dustries to stay in existence and if
there are no new displays of arbi-
trary power new industries will enter
this field.
The recent expression of Governor
Withycombe, that capital must be
given a square deal, was most cour-
ageous utterance from public man
at time when politicians are in
clined to treat employers as persons
that need watching.
Portland capitalists are to be put
to the test in the proposed central
Oregon railroads that Mr.. Strahorn
seeks to finance. Whether they will
show color remains to be seen.
The constructive work of the new
Chamber of Commerce is going to
bear fruit if it is kept up on present
plans and broadened to include the
whole state.
There is some talk of large smell
ter coming to Portland. 1t may 60
to Spokane. The cement plants at
Gold Hill and Oswego bid fair to 60
under way and become producers
during the coming year.
In spite of business revivals that
have long been promised, the devel-
opment of Oregon will proceed under
slow bells during the presidential
election year.
The European war will keep down
foreign immigration and foreign
shipping. The failure to float the
English-French war loan (still $780,
100000 shy,) has depressing in
fluence on the fiscal atmosphere.
Oregon is the most remote from
eastern financial movements and in
dustrial revivals. The transcontin-
entail lines to the north and south of
Oregon will continue to build up the
population of southern California.
San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound.
Oregon will advance slowly in popu-
lation.
