Pr. ct ' 04 .032 89 .513 ' 89 .494 1 89 .470 ' SO 4C3 100 .423 , In a nervc-cracklng ten-Inning game, with a Garrison finish, the Browns took Sacramento Into camp to the tune of S to 7. It was an engagement In which the Browns won in a romp, only to lose In a rush, and one that they had to win again In order to be in good standing with the public It was Phil Nadeau's brilliant base-running that won the game, and it was Harry Blake's corking rightfield drive that fell at the feet of McLaughlin that made Nadeau's dashing feat possible and one that will long be remembered. There was really no excuse for the Sen ators getting within striking distance after those two first innings. Phil Knell essayed to duplicate, his trick of Tuesday, but the Brown artillerists made him look like a cheap selling plater among a lot of splen did stake horses. Van Buren fooled the whole Sacramento bunch by placing a straight line' drive, the longest, by the was, that the Deacon has ever planted In the suburbs, that Journeyed through cen terfleld and almost to the fence. By the time Doyle had gathered In the ball Van was roosting at third amid the shouts of the crowd. Anderson poked out a single that had whiskers on It, and the Deacon very promptly scored. Nadeau followed ?ult with a blngle to right, but Butler, who was to have run the bases for the 3tocky outfielder, was caught oft the switch, and it was a case of his life or Andy Anderson's, who was forced to try for third, and Anderson was morgued. Freeman bunted Into a double play, with Butler at the other end, and the run-get-Ung was delayed until the next inning. Browns Seem to Be Safe. Knell was still kiting when Blake faced him, and Harry very promptly smashed Dut a double-sacker. Hollings-worth died via the foul route, but Ike Francis hit the fence in Hlldebrand's territory for two more biases, and Blake scored. Danny Shea singled. Thlelman flew out, and Knell, fearing Van Buren, gave him a promissory note on which he collected in terest when Anderson drove a two-bagger to rightfield. By this time Fisher had regained his breath and wigwagged Knell to the bench, but, he couldn't work the change before Nadeau had pelted out his single, on which Andy Anderson scored when Hogan dropped the ball. Buck Free man could not land on young Keefe, who had taken Knell s place, and the run-get ting subsided. The whole crowd settled back with an air of contentment which read, "Now let Fisher's crew scratch gravel." The fans Lad no idea that there were many heart quakes coming. They could not foretell that they were to be blue around the kills several times before the matinee was to end. Even the Browns did not measure Keefe as a dangerous proposition, but be fore that stripling got through with those Brown birds he came within an ace of making suckers of them. He started with a handicap of six runs carded against him, and he seemingly had about as much chance of winning as a. neglected sausage tnat hung within reach of Oshungry hound had of not being eaten. But rant lad set tled down to his work like a Major, and the only run which the Browns made until the winning run was scored In the tenth inning came without a hit, and was due to a muss of fumnles. "When he .got up steam, he allowed only six scattered hits, and he had the distinctive honor of ozonlng Van Buren and Nadeau In the same inning. Senators Tie tlie Score. In the meantime Fisher's Tads were lighting a hard uphill battle. They sneaked in a run in the third, and a collection of three hits in the sixth was good for an other run. Jake Thlelman was shooting them down the same old groove, and the Senators were finding blm easily. In the eighth the storm was brewing. McLauch lin singled, and then "Truck" Eagan drove one that took the fence for a home run, This brought the score up to within three of a tie-up. With two men gone in the ninth, a victory looked as glorious as the day just dying, but a jolt was coming, Thlelman passed McLaughlin, and Shea made a botch of a throw to second. Town send lined out a single, and Jake started to finish up Truck Eagan. He slinned two of them over that the scarlet-tODDed shortstop missed, but he landed on ( one that he slammed against the leftfield fence. Sheehan followed Eagan's lead and bounce one to right for two stations, and tne score was tied In a bow knot. Glory for Xadeou and Blake. The locals fell by the wayside in one two-three order In thelrhalf, and by the nine me iuuuik siuge was reacnea It was almost dark. Cassy started the ball In the tenth with a single, but very promptly lost bis life trying to steal sec ona. Two had already died, so Casev death put a crimp in Sacramento's hopes, ureat tnings were looked for when An drrson faced Keefe, but Casey robbed him or a blngle by a remarkably fast nlav Townsend saved Nadeau's life when ho dropped Sheehan's hoist of Phil's swat. Freeman flew out to centerfield. It was row up to Nadeau and Blake. "Whisper ang rrrn etoie second by the mareln of hen's tooth. In the gloaming Nadeau was cut to do or die, and he made a hot foot lor tnird that was rich, rloe and rnrv He stole the station, and It was by far the best bit of work he ever did.

A comparison of the games played by the two teams shows how evenly they are matched and ' how superior they are to the average freshman eleven. Both have defeated Santa Clara Collese. an Insti tution whose team usually proves a formidable foe for the 'varsities of the big cblleges. The Stanford team relies mainly upon Its fullback, Jim Weller, halfback Dole. Morrow at end and Stott at quarter. The last two ara Portland boys and have won a high place In Stanford athletics. Both are 'varsity possibilities. Stott has been In control of the team all season. He Is cool and uses his head. His passing has been clean .and he has been used to advantage to run with the ball, the new rule permitting of this. Morrow has been a wall of stone at his position at right end, and no halfback has been able to circle him. He will have a harder task tomorrow than ever before as the invincible Kern, with his 170 pounds of avoirdupois, will assail his side of the line. At the University of California Cap tain Claude Kern Is easily, the star and his work at halfback has already stamped him as one of the greatest play ers the Pacific Coast has ever seen.

In one of the games this season he execut ed a very difficult field goal. The boast of the California freshmen is that no team has yet scored on them. A unique feature of the week's enthu siasm was the rally held In the big amphitheater which was brilliantly light ed for the occasion. The assembled stu dents cheered each member of the team as JTo was Introduced and promised to dofhls best to bring victory home to the blue and gold. A similar celebration was held on the Stanford campus. The teams will line up as follows: Stanford. Position. California. "West L E Glllls True L T Seabury Smith L G Allen Marphlno C.

(Special.) In the annual intercollegiate freshman game between California and Stanford, which will be pulled off In San Francisco tomorrow, Portland will be represented by at least three players. These three men will all be on the Stanford eleven and are among the best players on their team. Stott, known all over the North west for his ability as a team, captain, has been selected to run the Cardinal in fants through the game. He will play quarter. Ben Morrow, from Portland High ! School, has proved himself the best of the ' "V. .1 ltt 4Un4- .n.L tlon tomorrow. Zimmerman, another Portland High School man, will be in the line as right quarter.

HOLDS NEIL LEVEL Regan Fights to a .Draw With Champion Bantam. BOTH WILLING TO MIX It California Lnd Knocks tke Brook lyner Down Once He Takes the Count to Get Rest, Then Re turns the Compliment LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Oct 16. Frankie Nell, of San Francisco, champion bantam weight pugilist, and Johnny Regan, of Brooklyn, fought 20 rounds to a draw to night at Hazard's Pavilion. It was one of the fastest fights ever witnessed hee. Both were willing to mix It at all times, and the result was that the referee had plenty of work to do in going between them. Neilforced the pace at most stages, en deavoring time and again to land his left ripping uppercut but only once did it land fair and flush. It put Regan down, and he took the count to get the rest He got up Immediately, and put Nell down with a terrific left on the jaw. Regan's best blow was a right uppercut and he repeatedly landed It on Nell's face and body. Nell started every round jvlth a rush and several times carried Regan through the ropes. But each time he good- naturedly assisted the Brooklyn lad to his feet After the 14th round, Nell fought desperately, and, at times, wildly, in his efforts to get in a knockout punch, but Regan was too clever to be caught nap ping. Regan did the better footwork and was the better boxer at long range. Nell found this out and kept boring In to fight for the body. Regan's ducking was clever, and he got out of some tight corners by his fast footwork. Neil showed up better at close-range milling. After the decision hundreds crowded about Regan to shake his hand and con gratulate him upon his showing. Neil was the favorite In the betting at 10 to 6, but Regan did not lack for supporters and a large amount of money was wagered on the outcome. Neil thought the decision of Referee Eyton was fair and had no complaint 'VARSITY ELEVEN BEATEN. Portland Academy Defeats Colum bia, 5-0. In the hardest and fastest football game ever played by school boys on Multnomah field, the Portland Academy yesterday afternoon defeated Columbia University by a score of 5 to 0. The excitement among the rooters of both sides was in tense throughout the game, no one know ing who would win until the whistle was blown at the end of the second half. Neither eleven had the advantage for long at a time, but the Academy team kept the ball moving towards Columbia's goal for a sufficient number of downs towards tho end of the first half to push it across the line and make a touchdown, Columbia shoved back the boys In orange and black in a similar manner for many yards during the game, but fumbling and lack of headwork lost the ball at crucial nioments. The Columbia players were also hampered by the loss of its punter, Fred Smith, and they had to resort to line plays when punting was their only salvation. The most conspicuous playing was done by the Cronan brothers for Columbia, and Fenton for the Academy, but Monies and Martin, the Columbia tackles, opened holes for the backs whenever the signal was given fojxfrackle play and the whole Academy team played a steady game, showing the best team work. Fenton punted his best and his men were after tne ball In good style. The new rules had very little effect In making more open play. The quarter-back run was tried once by the Academy for a short gain, but line bucks and short-end plays were used almost exclusively by both teams. Fenton began the game by a 33-yard punt to Al. Cronan, who returned It 17 yards before he was downed. L. Cronan promptly made five yards through right guard; he was followed by Hays wjth seven through left guard, but Moore was put back four by Fenton. L. Cronan tried left tackle for three yards, butt failed to make yardage. Academy's ball. Two short gains and a failure to make yardage again gave Co lumbia tho ball. But Cullen fumbled. Academy's ball again. Black made a short gftln just outside left tackle. Fenton then went around right end for seven yards, and Flavel bucked the center twice for good gain. Columbia bucked up at this and Fenton was forced back a yard or two by Al. Cronan. On the next down e punted, but Monies blocked the kick. Fenton fell on the ball, nnd on the -next play made up the loss around right end.. Tho Academy then shoved steadily through Columbia for sufficient gains. They were soon on Columbia's ten-yard line, then Flavel bucked the line for eight yards and Fenton went across the line through center. Seventeen minutes had been played and the Academy team had five to its credit Fenton failed to kick the goal. The teams changed sides and Columbia chose to give the Portland Academy the kick-off. Gleason caught the ball on the 20-yard line and returned it 15. The Cronans and Hays then gained three and four yards, a down through the tackles and guards for ten downs. But their side was then penalized 15 yards for off-side play, which they could not make up. They should haye punted but had no one they could rely on. The. Academy got the ball on downs, and Fenton promptly punted 30 yards. L. Cronan caught the ball but was promptly downed. Columbia again began to move on the Academy's goal, but It was a long way off and time was called before the center of the field was reached. At the beginning- of the second half Gleason kicked beyond the Academy's goal, making a touchback. The ball was brought out to the 25-yard line, and Fen ton punted 35 yards. Columbia took the ball for steady gains through and around the Academy line to the Academy's 28 yard line when It was lost on downs. Fen ton then punted 35 yards. The Columbia backs again took the ball down the field for steady gains for 16 downs and were coming up on the Academy's goal when AL Cronan dropped the ball and Flavel got it The Academy ljucked the Colum bia line for short gains, . when Fenton again punted. But L. Cronan soon lost it on a fumble. The Academy again tried a few line bucks, and again Fenton punt ed, this time for 30 yards. By this time the second half was almost ended and the few gains made by Columbia were to no effect The teams lined up -as follows: P. A. Position McAdams LB R. C. U.
