As McCredie is the original "easy mark'" aa far a the behavior of his players Is concerned, the misfits of yesterday will be permitted to get away with their rotten work without inter ference on the part of the management. The chief offender in disgracing- the came yesterday as well as offending the patrons who paid to see a real game T.-as Catcher Gus Klsher. who seems so badly afflicted with self-inflation that he Imagines the team cannot get elnna; without hini. Fisher not only gave the most miserable exhibition of catehlns seen on the grounds this season, but lie gut sore because the fans roasted him for his poor work, and when he loafed after deliberately having a passed ball. Man ager McCredie chased him from the came and substituted Tommy Murray back of the. bat. After being canned In this disgraceful fashion. Fisher displayed his true character by resorting to rowdy tactics and had to be escorted from the field by a police officer. If he had re ceived his deserts he would have been landed In Jatl because of the vulgar lan guage he used in the presence of the big ladies' day crowd. As for the game itself, there was not a feature in It worth the while, and but for a misfortune In the shaps of a colli sion between Martinke and Jesse Stovall, Portland would have had but two runs. George Ort'a liner to center was the cause of Martinke and StovaU trying to oi-.-upy the same space at the same time, with the result that both were knocked nut and Ort got a home run, sending Johnson home abead of him. Stovall was so badly Jarred that he had to be relieved by Roy WUlett, but Martinke managed to continue through the game, which was called in the eighth inning be- ause of darkness. Jse Garrett started for Portland and he was good for one inning, but in the second the Hooligans put him out of the running by hard hitting and a couple of pieces of poor mitnelding by Jack Graney. Chenault was sent to the mound In tiie third, and after that it seemed like the u hole team deliberately tried to throw him down, for Klsher loafed continually until canned bv McCredie. and Cooney and Olson could not stop a ground ball with a net. They also passed up oppor tunities of maklns outs by falling to cover second, but this was due mostly to Kosher, who was acting badly back of the plate. In the face of such actions Vernon scored at will, and the only mys tery Is that the Hooligans did not tally 1 runs. Brackenridge did ' not pitch such a marvelous game himself, for he was hit nuife frequently, but he managed to be en the Job in the pinches. Several times Portland had the bases full, but the Ver non midget held the whip hand and closed them out without trouble. Garret or Harkness will try again for Portland today, while Vance will occupy the hilltop for the Hooligans. The score of yesterdsv's game is as fol ocJ :jauiSAuliu n :flt -siot Jo VERNON.

KIMBALL'S Rl'X MAKKS SCORE Pendleton Defeats Walla Walla in Sensational Game. PB.NDI.CTON. Or.. OtJt. 15. iSpecial.) Nat Kimball's sensational run of 60 yards through a broken field for a touchdown gave the Pendleton IliRh School eleven a victory over Walla Walla High In a sen sntional game here l hit' afternoon. The Pendleton quarter's pettacu'.ar per formaiue occurred just before the close of the lirst half, when Kimball srabbed one of Walla Walla's attempted forward Phfmcs and raced more than half way across the flolrt. C.pin Devine. at full, was another Pendleton star, making sev-i oral long runs. The game was a con tinuous succession of forward passes, on side kicks, fake plays, long end rune and punts. The old-time stvle of play waa hardly resorted to at all. The visitors were heavier in weight, but- were too slow in pulling off their plavs. The locals had the better of the game at all times and were in ecorlng distance on several occasion. Score: Pendleton 6, Walla Walla 0. MORAN IS AFTER ATTEIL English Featherweight Wants) to Meet the Champion. NEW TORK. Oct. 15. Owen Moran. English featherweight. Is expected to arrive here within a day or two pre pared to make a match with Abe At tell. James CofTroth. the San Franclaco fight promoter, will also be here and will trv to arrange the match. Jem liriseoli will be here later and it is expected that lie will be ready to fight cither -Moran or Attell. But the principal business that brings Coffroth to New York is believed to be the expected arrival of James J. Jeffries. As soon as Jeffries arrives. Coffroth will submit his offer which some profess to believe will be in the neighborhood of 170.000 and if it is ac ceptable, final articles can be signed immediately. Of course, the Jeffries Johnson fight depends entirely on tha result of Johnsons fipht with Ketcliel tomorrow afternoon. WHITMAS PILES VP SCORE Missionaries DeTeat Columbia Col lege Team 05 to 0. WAT.l.A WAI-JvA. Wash.. Oct. 15. (Special.) The Whitman varsity foot ball team this 'afternoon defeated the team from Columbia College. Milton, by the decisive score of 65 to 0. In spite of the big score which the Missionaries had little trouble In running up. their work was not of the best. The Whit man line was a little slow and lacked ginger. The back field was also ragged. Whitman made most of her gains by long end runs, forward passes and line smashes. The game today was the last practice game which Whitman will have before she meets the strong team of the L'nl verslty of Idaho next Saturday. Coach J. Merril Blanchard will work his men hard during the coming week on both of fensive and defensive charging for that contest. FRESHMEN TO PL-AY EUGENE Heavy Teams Will Go Against Crack High.

COFFROTH TAKES CHARGE Fine Weather Promised Fight to Begin at 3 P. M. Even Bet Johnson Knocks Out Man In 15 Rounds. PAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 15. The dis quieting rumor that tomorrow's cham pionship fight between Johnson and Ketehel might be declared off because of a dispute over the 15000 bet agi tated the pugillstlo world for the great er pert of today, but the official an nouncement of Promoter Coffroth to night that he has taken possession of the 110.000 staked by the two princi pals has allayed all fears that the bat tle will not take place according to schedule. Afraid of Anti-Bet Law. It Is believed that the trouble was due to the refusal of the appointed stakeholder to continue in that capa city. This refusal is said to have been caused by a fear of legal complications, for bv the terms of the new antl-bet-tlng law in this state it Is a felony for anv one to act in the capacity of a stakeholder when a bet is made. Not wllhetandtng this, coffroth took charge of the money and gave each of the fighters a receipt for his share. There Is now no doubt that the side bet will stand as originally made. Coffroth Holds Stakes. When the local newspaper man who was holding the. stakes after they were transferred from New York, where they were first posted, announced his disinclination to make himself liable for an infraction of the anti-betting law. a dispute arose between Willis Britt. representing Ketehel. and John son as to the proper person to whom the money should be transferred. John son acoused Ketehel of an attempt to evade the side' bet, but Britt an nounced that his man was confident of pocketing the whole amount at the end of the tight. The matter finally ended by CoiTroth's taking the money, which he deposited with a business man to the credit of the two principals. With the dispute over the side bet out of the way, nothing is likely to interfere with the fight. Weather con ditions alone can prevent It, for the "sunshine arena" has no cover over it, but tha prediction for clear weather has been made, and It is believed that CofTroth will have his usual good luck in h!s respect. Odds Still on Johnson. The fight is scheduled for 20 rounds, and will begin at 3 P. M.. after two ten-round preliminaries. Jack Welsh will be the referee. The betting con tinues at 10 to 4 that Johneon will win. and at evens that he will knock Ket ehel out in less than 16 rounds. In spite of predictions to the contrary, there' was no rush of Ketehel money today to raise the odds, and the pool rooms still hold enough Johnson coin to keep the odds stable for some time. Considerable money was wagered to day on the 15-round proposition. FIRST GAME IS PLAYED COLUMBIA BESTS LTJTCOLX HIGH BV S-0 SCORE. At Opening of Interscholastlc Foot bajl Season Neither Team Has Much Advantage Over Other Beginning the season of lnterscholasrio football, the game played yesterday after noon on Multnomah Feld resulted In a 8 to 0 victory for Columbia University over the Lincoln High School. The score was the result of a place kick by Davis from the 26-yard line in the last part of the first half. Neither team had much advantage at any time during the game. The ball stayed In Lincoln's territory- during the greater part of the first half, but with the exception of the successful kick from placement, the high school goal was never in serious difficulty because Arnold was always successful in booting the ball out of danger. The second half was largely a punting game. In which the work of both fullbacks was above par. Most of the open playing was done by the Columbia boys, who used a number of on-side kick plays. Arnold kicked off for Lincoln at the beginning of the first half. After a punt by Columbia, the ball was taken back several yards by Arnold, and then Stiles, on a criss-cross p'r.y. made 25 yards In one of the prettiest plays of the game. The Columbia line held and Redman broke through and blocked a punt. Soon after, Columbia made 10 yards on START OF PLAY IN FIRST GAME OF LINCOLN HIGH ON DEFENSIVE an on-slde kick, and then lost the ball on attempted quarterback run on the third down. v After two or three punts were ex changed and Lincoln had been 'penalized for playing off side, Columbia secured the ball, when one of its punts was fum bled by the High School. This placed the ball on Lincoln's 25-yard line, and then Davis booted it equarcly between the goal posts for the only score of the game. After the next kick-off by the High School. Columbia punted back, Arnold of the High School fumbled and Columbia secured the ball in the middle of the field. Soon after Columbia negotiated a 10-yard gain. The first half ended with the ball In possession of the High School. Early in the second half, gains of 30 and 10 yards were made by Stiles and Jack Day on end runs. This placed the High School close to the Columbia line, and a punt by Arnold resulted in a touch back. Columbia punted iit and a fair catch was made by Arnold. A place kick attempted then by Lincoln was a failure. This was as near as the High School ladei came to scoring. During the remainder of the game the ball stayed In the middle of the field until the last two minutes, when a final desperate effort to score was made by Lincoln. Stiles almost got away for a touch-down on a forward pass, but fum bled, keeping the ball. He was then sent through Columbia's line for a 10-yard gain, and the game ended with the ball in Columbia's territory. The High School band added to the spirit of th? occasion, and did some cred itable playing. The weather way a llttlo too warm for good football, but the boys played hard Just the same, and the crowds of youthful rooters in the grand stand kept up a continual din.

Hillman, who made the first team for the position of left halfback, from whom much was expected, was put out in yesterday's scrimmage with a bad shoulder, and will be unable to go into a game for two weeks. Lundstrum, at right halfback, went to the hospital Tuesday with a bad ankle. Montgom ery, an old star player, was being treated by Dr. Kanaga last evening for a badly swollen ankle.

Detroit and Pittsburg will wind up the j world series tomorrow In weather that promises to be' very com ana unsurcame for baseball and on a damp diamond. There were slight snow fiurrlea tonight and either snow or cold rain will wet down the field before time for the game. The temperature promises to be close to the freexlng point. It was idling time for both teams today. In the forenoon Jennings sent his men through a stiff practice session, but the Pirates did not don their uniforms. The Tigers, if the weather is favorable, will work again In the morning, Jennings be ing bent on winning the world's cham pionship this rime. Though neither manager will name his selection. It is probable that Mullin and Adams, each "of whom has won two games In the series, will be the opposing twirlers. Donovan's Arm Goes Bad. Mullin already has pitched three games. Donovan Is the man Jennings . had planned to work, but his arm is not right and is hardly likely to be in gilt edged shape under the present weather conditions. For Pittsburg it is certain to be Adams. He is the only pitcher who has been able to hold the Tigers. Adams defeated Mullin in the opening game, but poor fielding behind the American slabsman contributed to tha defeat, as Mullin held Pittaburg to one hit less than was made by Detroit off Adams. There was considerable trouble today over the sale of seats for the final game. The National Commission took all of the tickets off the Detroit Club's hands and regular patrons of the game, who have supported the clubs for years, were un able to get tickets, while dummies for speculators, In most cases young women, are said to have secured all they wished. Big BeU on Even Money. Large wagers were placed tonight on the outcome of the final game. There are many Pittsburg fans In town, and most of the money was placed at evens. The hospital list of the Detroit team was all improved today. Tom Jones, who was the most seriously injured, insisted on go ing out to Bennett Park, although he took only the lightest kind of practice. His physician says he does not think the De troit first baseman will be able to play tomorrow, as he fears a reaction because of Jones' restlessness.
