On one side, directors of the Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Oakland and Los Angeles clubs were ready to do battle to wrest control of the league from the William H. McCarthy faction. When the meeting opened today Ed. R. Maier of the Vernon club, Lew Moreing of Sacramento, and the San Francisco quartet—Dr. Charles Strub, Cnarely Graham, George Putnam and Tom St-phens—were lined up solidly behind McCarthy, president of the league. Today's meeting was the culmination of meetings by both parties. Lines were so sharply drawn that the McCarthy people refused to ride to Catalina on the William Wrigley Jr. yacht and are livingoard the yacht loaned Maler by Marco Hellman. "Here is the program, if we get that far," McCarthy said before the meeting started. "First will be the roll call. I will recognize seven directors, but Seattle is outside as far as I am concerned. I proved that club was purchased by money supplied by William Wrigley, Jr. After the roll call will come the reading of the minutes of the last meeting. Four votes are lined up against that and it may not carry." Usually at the annual meetings among the first business is that of awarding the pennant to the league winner. It was suggested that members of the "big five" may not award the pennant to San Francisco today. "McCarthy must go," was the statement of Charles Lockard, president of the Seattle club.

Blake asserted that so far as he knew, the men did nothing for the state. "While Governor Walton was out of the city I removed 29 employees from the highway department payroll," Blake testified. "This was done when I was notified by that department that they had one-third too many employees, and the appropriation was rapidly being depleted. Some of the discharged were replaced by the governor on his return." Walton frequently requested the highway, banking, game warden, board of affairs and health departments to place employees on their payrolls, the witness said. The session was marked by constant wrangling among attorneys and members of the court. During the testimony of the first witness, eight rulings were made in favor of the state and two for Walton.

It was suggested that members of the "big five" may not award the pennant to San Francisco today. "McCarthy must go," was the statement of Charles Lockard, president of the Seattle club. All last year we paid our share of the dues and we had no represe-ntion in the league. McCarthy is not put out at this meeting he surely will be when the board of arbitration of the national association of minor leagues meets in Chicago, December 11. Here is one case in point: After the Japanese disaster he gave $1,000 of the league's money to the relief of the Japanese. It was a worthy cause, but we were not even asked to vote on it.
