ROBERTS LEADS DOUBLED DEMURRAGE TWO LEAGUES TO WOEK OUT PLANS It is said Graduate Manager Behrens of Stanford approached Dr. A.

D. Browne of the Oregon Agriculture college and begged the latter to send down a Rugby football team to Palo Alto next fall. Behrene wasn't so particular as to what kind of a Rugby team was sent so long as It could kick the ball around. When a big institution makes such a request of a college that has no Kugby on its list of athletio sports it may be taken as an indication that it la at ithe end of its athletic rope. Stanford must get into the Coast conference or find itself isolated so fir as competitive football is concerned.

IN EFFORT TO OFFSET STATE CAR SHORTAGE Oregon Public Service Commission Takes Steps to Relieve Freight Car Situation. Salem, Dec.

11. In order that the freight car shortage may be overcome to some extent, the Oregon Pub lic Service commission has ordered that new demurrage charges should become effective January 1 on all railroads in the state. The old rate was 2 per day straight from the expiration of the free time limit The new maximum charge is a day per car. The paragraph of the order relating to the new charges follows: Hew Charges Hade. "After the expiration of the free time allowed, the following charges will be made until car is released: $2 per car for the first day, or fraction thereof, that the car is detained beyond the free time; $3 per car for the second day, or traction thereof, and $4 per car (maximum allowed by statute) for the third and each succeeding day, or fraction thereof, after the free time has expired; provided, when empty car or cars are placed for loading on orders and are not used, but are returned to the railroad empty, no free time will be allowed, but demurrage will be charged from the first 7.

a. m. a'fter placing or tender aa follows: 'i per car for the first day, or fraction thereof, that such car or cars are held; per car for the second day, or fraction thereof, and $4 per car for tho third and each succeeding day, or fraction thereof, and in addition thereto a further charge will be made equal to the amount which would accrue, under the scale here set forth, during the 24 hour period following the day upon which the railroad la notified that such car or cars will not be loaded." The usual exceptions are made In cases where there is weather interference, where cars are bunched by the railroad in filling an accumulation of orders, and where there la an "average agreement'' between the shipper or receiver and the railroad. On "Average Agreement." When the "averaga agreement" exists the detention of cars will be computed aa follows: "Two credits will be allowed for each car released within the first 24 hours of free time. Two debits will be charged for the first 24 hours, or fraction thereof, that a car Is detained beyond the free time, 3 debits for the second 24 hours period, or fraction thereof, and 4 debits for the third 24 hour period, or fraction thereof, after the free time has expired.

In no case shall more than two credits be earned by the prompt unloading of any one car, and in no case shall more than a total of nine credits be applied In cancellation of debits accruing on any one car. When a car has accrued nine debits, no additional debits shall accrue thereon, but a charge of $4 for each day, or fraction of a day, thereafter will be made for all subsequent detention. Including Sundays and holidays. Monthly Settlements Ordered, "At the end of the calendar month the total number of credits will be deducted from the total number of debits, and $1 per debit charged for the remainder. If the credits equal or exceed the debits, no cnarge will be made for the detention of the cars, and no payment will be made to shippers or receivers on account of such excess credits, nor shall the credits In excess of the debits of any one month be considered in computing the average detention for another month "A shipper or receiver who elects to take advantage of this average agreement may be required to give sufficient security to the carrier for the payment of balances against him at the end of each month." Order Besalt of Hearing.

Today's order comes as a result of a hearing held in Portland recently. The Southern Pacific railroad insisted that the old demurrage rate was too low and that it was in a large measure responsible for the car shortage, as shippers and receivers held cars longer than they would with a heavier penalty. The new charges are similar to those recently ordered into effect In Washington state, where, however, the maximum charge is per Jay. A provision In the Oregon laws prevents the commission ordering a charge la excess of $4 per day. Olympic Peninsula Line Is Projected Aberdeen, Dec.

OF INTER-SERIES American Association and International League Are Holding Confab, By H.

C. Hamilton. New York, Dec 11. (U. Details of the lnter-league series between the International league and the American association will be.

worked out today In a Joint meeting of the magnates of the two leagues. Thomas Hlckejr, new president of the American association, and his club owners already have ratified their end of the plan and they are here to explain and agree to anything that might be suggested by the International leaguers. On the faeo of It. the plarf. which calls for a schedule of 48 games after the close of the regular seasons by the two leagues, seems to be the one thing so far proposed that will kick a little pep Into the grand old game as It Is played by the minor leagues.

The small leagues, A. as well as the more bushy classes, have had some pretty hard sledding since the Federals made their historical play for recognition and every head in the business has had some plan to propose for betterment. It is argued for the benefit of the plan that It will rive the fans variety In that 16 teams will be seen Instead of the usual eight. Also new cities will be represented, thereby arousing more rivalry. Everything seems to be for the success of the proposition.

Wo One Xs Worried. No one is taking seriously the threat of the ball players to strike unless the minor league magnates agree to pay salaries while players are injured. It Is believed some sort of a compromise can be reached. The class AA leagues have been trying hard to have the draft eliminated from their clubs, and around this point may develop a hard fight. The players will fight this plan, contending that it would militate against their chances of advancement to the majors.

Dave Fultz already has made known his feelings in this and they are strongly against It. He feels that a player could be kept Indefinitely in the AA league in case the draft waa not there to give him a chance of advancement. National league magnates are beginning to drift in for their annual gab-fest, which will open tomorrow.

Wales. Dec (U. Claiming to represent 124.767 of Britain's population, a peace conference met here and adopted resolution urg. lng restoration of the traditional rights of British citizens. Sir Ramsey McDonald waa the principal speaker.

perous Year Is Ahead, Judge William Wallace McCredle returned from the Halt Lake meeting yesterday with the firm conviction that the raclflc coast league is facing a prosperous season for 1917. Optimism was written all over the faces of the directors of the league, the Judge says, aud It was one of the most harmonious Sessions in the annals of the organization, in view of the advance notices of rough-and-ready steamrolllng. The Judge says not a wo ad was spoken about cutting Portland off the circuit, and that nothing; was done about Eddie Maler's stock in the Vernon club, Tom Darmody representing that organization. Judge McCredle says that no regular action was taken with regard to the salary limit, but that in view of the addition of four players who had never been in the Class A A or majors, there would be no trouble on that question. This may mean that the directors have concluded not to give out their salary limit for the year, believing that it is nobody's business any more than the payroll of a grand opera company or a national bank.

they may have added 1000 a month over the $4500 salary limit of last year, and they may have let it remain the same as In 1916, figuring that the four "bushera" will give them plenty of leeway. The schedule was left over until January and the meeting will be held In San Francisco, said the Judge.
