BASEBALL��������� The baseball season closed in Seattle on Sinivlay. tin,the same day tire Seattle Time's published the following: It is now pretty generally understood all around lire* circuit that that, meeting held in Portland a few wceJ.s ago where it was voted to continue the coast league for three more years, did not mean anything. The real test, will come in the annual meeting to.be he'd *i'i San Francisco in December.. A bieak-up may occur at that time that will result in a new circuit here, something oil the lines of (he old Pacific -.National, while the California towns -will go back to the old four-club Californian league. One. thing certain, the northern towns will not gi* in (unless they get a better deal than the one they arc now working-under.; [The Seattle men arc perfectly -indifferent as to whether they play .with Calif.'fcnia or rrot. .A fine six-club c.irciiit can be rormed up here, while in California a four-club league is about the limit. Under the present arrangement Uncle Marry Harris is. the undisputed boss .pf the league, and San Francisco 'is 'the whole thing-. A .new deal will have to be made, and more consideration shown to the northern clubs next year, or they will not stay in the'iieague. That nwrch seems certain. It may be-that Uncle Henry, will be able to spread the salve on the same terms as-at present, but lliey will not stand for if, and as they can be perfectly independent"-of Calil'onr'ia and still stay yu the,baseball business, they are in a position to dictate nyre favorable terms. NO SALVAGE ON ", * OARED BOATS. The Vancouver Province says' The recovery of several fishing boats and rowboats in the Gulf of Georgia lately has raised a ratjher interesting point in respect to the question of salvage. These boats, cast adrift or abandoned during stress of weather, were brought into port by incoming tugs, whtcsc masters in-������e\'eral instances set up a claim . for salvage, in one case thc sum of ^."i being sought as compensation for towing a fishing boat in. Investigation by legal .authority has developed the fact that no legal claim for salvage can be set up for lire rescue of .any boat which is whol ly or in part dependent upon oars for its motive powers. As a fishing boat is frequently propelled by oars, it is held that no salvage can be claimed for the rescue of such a craft. This is interesting to shipping men espeo'blly to the masters of vessels of the mosquito ,fleet, who frequently fall in with small boats adrift ia English Bay. Of corns'?, no salvage can be claimed for .any craft rescued within the limits of the harbor, but it is a new and pertinent fact that ��������� m'vie can be secured on any boat propelled by oars- no matter where it is found. This being tho case tugboatmen will not in future show any disposition to go out of their way to pick up drifting boats and bring them to port.
