J. iieeseman and Charles II. Graham of that city wore here to receive re-ceive it. This action did not cause even a ripple of surprise, for something some-thing like that was predicted after the annual meeting in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. After having officially kicked Portland Port-land out of the league, a resolution, or maybe it was a memorial, was read, regretting the fact that Judge Mc-Credie Mc-Credie of Portland "was no longer among those present. After officially disposing of the judge, it -was necessary to elect someone some-one to take his place as vice president. President Baum is a mighty big guy in this league, for they have two vice presidents ready, in case anything happens hap-pens to him. F. S. Murphy of Salt Lake and Judge McCrcdie had that honor last year, but this time C. J. Heeseman of Sacramento and J. Cal Ewing of Oakland Oak-land will get round-shouldered trying to bear tip under the weight of the honor. The Railroad Problem.' The lads who will have to pungle up the dough ' to support the clubs this year would gladly have talked about railroad rates, but there was nothing before the house. In times past passenger agents hovered hov-ered in the offing aud had propositions to make, but n--.- that the government has takcu control of the railroads, there is no assurance that the ball players will be hauled at any price, even as livestock. It is all very embarrassing, and maybe Jerry Downs will vet put through his plan to transport the players play-ers on automobile trucks, for which he lias the agency. In that case the pitchers pitch-ers aud extra men will have to qualify as drivers before they are signed. Those present at the meeting were: Prc-i-i.-Ht A. T. Baum. J. P. Cook, the orator I'rom Sa;t Lake; J. C'dl Ewiuir, from Oa k land ; V.". H et:ry Berry, from Sa u Fra lie is'-o ; .1 . F.
