SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7. — That
the Pacific baseball league is entitled
to big league rating, is the opinion ex
pressed by Manager McCredie, cf Ihe
Portland club.
“Four clubs in the Pacific coast
league have parks that aro within
easy access of enough people to war
rant big league franchoses for thdr
towns," said McCredie.
He believes that there are 550.000
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 im
mediate vicinity, he grants that there
are fully 650,000 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 ma
jor league honor.
San Francisco and Oakland are the
other two clubs which McCredie said
should outdraw several major league
cities. It is said that there are 1,000,
000 persons in San FranciBco, Oakland
and other smaller places dost at hand.
There were 416,912 persons in San
Francisco at the last census and 150,
17. in Oakland. Then there are Ala
meda with 20,000, Berkeley with 50,
000, Richmond with 20,000 and Fast
Oakland with 10,000, besides many
other hamlets. McCredie thinks that
there are 500,000 people in San Fran
cisco now. while he estimates Oakland
at 225,000.
Salt Lake had 92,777 at its last cen
sus, while it is estimated that ther are
at least 115,000 persons there now.
There are about 275,000 persons in
Portland.
“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 it fairly makes one
sick to think the sport is not drawing
better. Los Angeles is not paying as
it should and Sale Lake, the smallest
town in the circuit, is one of the best.
“I think that business will be better
next year and that 1917 will find base
ball what it should be and that all the
owners will make some money for
themselves.”
*w oucu^uini iiia argument mat
!„Oij Angeles, VcmoR, Oakluiwi and S*;**
Francisco are "big league" towns.
Manager McCredie cited the popula
tion of several major league cities as
follows:
Cleveland, 560,063; St. Louis, 687,
029; Iloston, 070,585; Pittsburg, 533,
905; Detroit, 465,766; Cincinnati, 364,
463, and Washington, 331,069.
Milwaukee, the largest city in the
American Association, a Class AA
league, has only 373,857 people.
"The Pacific Coast League should
he the best Class AA circuit in the
country," continued McCredie. "The
Reason is the longest, and California
affords the best baseball climate in
the world. Of course we are handi
capped by long jumps, but this is
overcome by our week and sometimes
two weeks’ stand in one city."
Measurements taken of more than
fifty bowlers in the Northwest show
that this sport has a tendency to de
velop one side of the body to the com
parative neglect of the other side. This
appears to be the result only in the
case of those enthusiasts who are
regular devotees of the sport and
make a practice of rolling many games
every day. The casual player is un
affected.
The following measurements are
cited of a player who rolls on an aver
age of forty games a week: Right
upper arm 13 1-2 inches, left upper
arm 12 inches, right forearm 11 3-4
inches, left forearm 10 3-4 inches.
The thumb and middle finger of the
bowling hand are found to be much
larger than the corresponding fingers
on the unused hand, while the bowl
ing wrist of one steady player meas
ured one-third more than its mate.
Many bowlers of the Pacific coast
are expressing the hope that arrange
nients can be made for the holding ol
a world's championship tournament
There are approximately a dozen sec
tional tournaments to be held in vari
ous parts of the country, and it has
been suggested that the winners ol
these tournaments be brought together
during next May.
Heretofore the American Bowling
Congress has been said to have op
posed any such a scheme, claiming
its tournament to be the equal of a
world’s championship event, but it is
thought the plan in view would meet
with no objection.
According to Coach Gilmour Dobie,
of the University of Washington, the
football team that gets away from
straight football and intersperses it
with open and aerial play is the most
dangerous opponent to meet. It was
this kind of a game that the Washing
tonians faced when they met the uni
versity of California.
"When a team sticks to old-time
bucking and conservative football,
you can pretty well measure them up
and the advantage that either team is
going to have," Dobie said, “but when
a team is composed of exceptionally
fast men, as California is, when they
; pecialize In an open style of game,
and when they are willing to take the
chances that the southerners do, you
can never tell what the next moment
is going to develop. They are the
kind of a team that an advantage of
a single touchdown is really no advan
tage at all.”
