N. W. LEAGUE DROPS "VICTORIA AND ABERDEEN
SHAKE-UP IN
TIGER TEAM
IS A RESULT
The Northwestern league will
finish the esason as a four-club
circuit.
Following Aberdeen's request
to be permitted to withdraw from
the league, yet hold 1U territorial
rights and franchise for 1916,
the league magnates, at a meet
ing in President Blewett's office
that continued from Saturday
evening until 8 o'clock Sunday
morning, decided to allow both
Aberdeen and Victoria to with
draw.
A new schedule for the four
team league will be doped out at
once In the meantime, however,
Taeoma plays at Spokane for a
week, with Vancouver at Seattle.
Spokane gets three weeks at
home, with Seattle going there
next Monday.
It was reported that the re
maining four clubs expected to
pull through the .season safely, al
though the Tigers are still in a
dangerous condition.
In the split-up of players, re
sulting from the disbanding of
the two clubs yesterday, Tacoma
gets Pitcher and Oeneral Utility
Player Hansen of Victoria, Pitch
er Meikle of Aberdeen and Short
stop Ward of Aberdeen. Manager
Rum Hall announced last night
that he would releaes Al Hiester
and Bill Hogan, placing Ward on
abort and Orover on third, with
Hansen in center field.
Al Bonner of Victoria goes to
Seattle, with Harry Hughes of
Aberdeen to Vancouver. Spokane
takes Outfielder Kaylor and Out
fielder Kippert. Pitcher Bobby
Keefe, formerly of Tacoma. who
recently came from the Coast
league, goes to Spokane.
• • •
The big feature of yesterday's
lame at Athletic park occurred
in the fourth inning when Walter
Risk, chairman of the Citizens'
CMc committee, officially pre
sented Joe McGinnity with a
check for $1,000, part of the pro
ceeds of Saturday's Stadium bene
fit games.
McGinnity Immediately re
paired to the clubhouse and be
gan signing pay checks for his
players for the last two weeks.
He admitted that, had it not been
for the benefit receipts he
wouldn't have known where to
raise the salary money.
• • •
Al Bonner "sluffed" yesterday
in a most crude manner, after he
bad been ordered by Blewett to
pitch for the Orphans. He didn't
want to pitch because he knew he
was going to Seattle, and he
wanted to be fresh when he
reached the Elliott Bay town. So
Al "hurt" his finger just before
the game, and Roy Brown had to
be pulled in from second base to
pitch. To Roy's credit, it may be
said that he pitched a sterling
game, although maybe not sensa
tional. His homer over the right
field fence netted the Orphans
with their only run, too. The
