The Bee manager has been in consultation with Judge McCredie over the appointment appoint-ment of a manager for the Portland team, nnd tho latter admitted yesterday yester-day that Walter thought that Billy Speas would be tho ono most suited for tho berth.

A wire from Billy Speas was received re-ceived today, containing his terms to manage Portland. They were considered con-sidered entirely too high, and he must reduce them before they will receive any consideration. Today Judge McCredio accepted the terms of Al Cook, who used to. shortstop short-stop fo rthe Oakland club. Cook has had considerable class AA experience, experi-ence, and ought to mako a good man for the Judge.
