BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

A show down of the players hands in
the strike game will be made "a week
from Wednesday, when the Portland.
Greg, club of the Pacific Coast League
is scheduled to start for the Hawaiian
Islands on its training trip, provided
the threat of war with Germany does
not cause 1t to be abandoned. The con-
templated journey is not only the long
est planned for any team this year. but
Is one of three where ball clubs have
gone out of the country, the other two
being the New York Americans trip
to bermuda few years ago and the
invasion OF Mexico City by the Chicago
Americans more than a decade ago.
This trip should provide the first real
test of how far the members Of the
players fraternity will go with the
threat to strike. The Pacific Coast
League is one of the three class IA
organizations of the minor leagues, and
is made up of the class of players over
whom the threatened strike was start
ed. 1t so happens that the Portland
club is one of the three coast teams
training camps. and it also always has
paid injured players during the period
of their disability.
These are two of the points over
which the strike mas Deen called, ana
the Portland players, in view of the
fact that the grievances do not apply
to their particular cases, are not like
ly to desert their employers at this
stage. Several members of the Port
land club who are booked to sail for
Honolulu are members of the players
fraternity. If by their action next
week they prove they do not care
enough about the fraternity cause to
strike for fellow players in their own
league, it is exceedingly doubtful that
ma or league players will hold out for
them. Manager McCredie of the Port
land club recently said he had every
belief that his players, whether men,
bers of the fraternity or not, would
stick to him. and if they do it will be
hard blow to the fraternity.
Regarding Jack Ryan, the veteran
catcher who has acted as coach for
young pitchers and scout for the Ma
tionals for several seasons. about whom
conflicting stories have been published.
Manager Griffith today had this to say:
Ryan will not be taken to Augusta
for the training period this year, but
he will not be cut off the Nationals
roster. Ryan has been coaching the
University of Virginia base ball squad
