At 5: o'clock thia afternoon the champion Portland Beavers will arrive at the Union Depot on the Shasta Lim ited, and they will be met at the atatlon bv an enthusiastic crowd of fans who will escort them through the streets of the rlty In automobiles. The welcome parade will be headed by a band, and every effort possible on the part of the moat rabid fan will be done to show the appreciation of the Portland base ball lovers for the pennant-winning aggregatlon. Owing to a misunderstanding, prin cipally due to the negligence of Man ager McCredle and one or two other members of the team to answer tele grams sent them Inquiring the time of the team's arrival home, the reception committee was unable to learn the hour of arrival until informed by the man agement of the Continental Hotel, of fan Francisco, that the boys had left on the limited train yesterday morning. A telegram waa aent Manager McCredle Saturday night, and no reply being re ceived, one waa sent to Captain Casey Sunday, but both were probably so en thused over the victory that they could not And time to reply. Antotsts Will Respond. When Informed yesterday afternoon that the team would arrive this after noon. M. C. Dickinson, president of the Portland Automobile Club, Issued a hur ried call to the members of the club to have their machines at the Union Station to meet the champions, and the number of favorable responses received last night Indicates a big turnout to meet the "champs." Practically every mem ber of the Portland champions will re turn to Portland today, for advices from the south state that Billy Bloomfleld la the only Beaver who la not coming north with the team. The reception committee also decided to secure the services of a band, and this means that the team will be re ceived in the most approved manner. Besides, every fan in Portland who can pare the time from business will be at the depot, and. as this la election day and many of them will have a few hours off In the afternoon, a big crowd Is ex pected at the station to give the players a royal welcome. Fielder Jones, the leader of the world's champion Chicago White Sox of 19". is also expected to reach Portland today or tomorrow, and he will play one of the outfield positions for the All-Star team being formed to battle McCredle's champions In the big benefit game to be plaved Sunday, providing the weather permits. All that Is asked Is a cessa tion of rain on that day. for the baseball field Is now covered with saw du.nl. and the team will play until there la a down pour of rain. In addition to the hall game, there will be a field day for the players at which base running, circling the bases. WO-yard dash, fungo hitting, long distance throw ing and accurate throwing will figure In the points, for which prises have been offered by Portland merchants.

WASHINGTON HIGH READY rulversity Team Will GIto School boys Hard Contest for Season's Honors at Recreation Park Both Aggregations lit. The big game of the Interscholastlc Football League will be played tomor row at Recreation Park, between the Washington High School team and Co lumbia University. The interscholastlc championship depends upon this game. and both teams are going Into the tight with the determination to win. The Washington team has won all three gamea played this year, and should It win Wednesday's struggle would have an undisputed claim to the champion ship. The Columbia team, while not having been scored upon this year, played a tie game with Portland Acad emy two weeks ago, but the team's poor showing on this occasion was due to the fact that five of the regular play ers were playing on the side lines. Should Columbia win Wednesdays game they will still have Lincoln High to play the following week. Bill Schmitt. coiumDias coarn, is working his crippled team hard for Wednesday's big event, and will be able to present a fairly strong lineup. Co lumbia has been badly handicapped this year by the lack of heavy men for the squad, but Schmitt is working wonders with the light men plad at his com mand and the result of the game last week with Vancouver showed the light team was playing fast and aggressive ball. Keen rivalry exists between Bill Kelleher. Columbia's light but aggressive quarter, and Cornell, the all-star veteran of Washington lllsh. Coach tarl feels confident- that his team will be ablo to win the gams against the lighter and Inexperienced Columbia team. Washington High has been materially strengthened by the addition of two old experienced men Cason. who played on the team two years ago, and Parsons, who has played sev eral years of football with the Salem High and the Seattle High teams. Karl's team, as a whole. Is playing a wonder ful game', and a great battle should re sult when they meet Columbia tomorrow.

Harrv Lewis, of New .York, knocked out "Fighting Pl.-k" Nelson here tonight. The end came in the second round of a scheduled ten-round bout before the American Athletic Club. Lewis was about 15 pounds heavier than Kelson, and was the master of the fight at every stage. In the first round Lewis landed the first of a series of blows to the face which finally downed his opponent. Nel son went to the floor three times In the first round. In the second round Nelson took the count twice and the third time, on a blow to the face, was counted out. WHO AUK LITKY VTMPIRES? Mctircevy and Hildebrand Likely Candidates Graham Walts. PAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 7. (Special.) With the umpires reduced from six to three next season, fans are begin ning to wonder who will draw the lucky appointments.

Cahlll. fullback, who played two years ago with Morgan Col lege. 111., is a "find." He makes great gains through the line. Wand, right half, played here last year, but did not make the team. A dispute will arise now regarding the scores of Washington and Oregon Washington's inability to push the ball over the line when within one Inch from Idaho's goal kept Washington from beating the web-foot score a week ago. Much time was lost In pen alising and In shitting. Had Washing ton had its old men In the team the score would have been larger. The interest at University of Wash ington regarding the forthcoming game at Spokane Is intense. Many will ac company the Washington team to Spo kane. IXJOTBALL GAME POSTPONED Willamette and Multnomah Not to Play Until November 18. The football game between Willamette University and the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, scheduled originally to be played this afternoon, has been post poned to Wednesday, a week from to morrow. The principal reason for the postpone ment Is that several of the Multnomah players sustained injuries. Then threat ening weather would be likely to reduce the attendance to a minimum. Both clubs agreed to defer the date to next week. This will give each team a chance to get into better condition. AMERICAN RECORD GOES AUTO RACER TRAVELS AT RATE OF 72 MILES AX HOUR. Number 13 In Big Atlanta Speed way Race Proves Hoodoo to Self and Others. ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 7. Traveling at "il miles an hour. Joe Horan, driving a Lozier car. won the 250-mlle speedway grand prize here today and set a new American record for the distance. His time was 3 hours 26 minutes and 13.10 seconds, beating the previous record of 4 hours 38 minutes 67 4-6 seconds, made by Burman In a Buick at the Indianapolis speedway. August 19, 1909, and comes within four minutes of equaling the world's record for 300 mtlea made at Brooklands, Kngland. Horan received $3uO0 of the 5000 prize offered for the race. The number 13, carried by R. J. Church's Simplex car. is held responsi ble by the drivers, not only for Church's 111 luck, but also for the many accidents that befell other cars. As car No. 13 swept up with the leaders In the first 2& miles, many of the other cars Immediately began to suffer from engine troubles and had to be stopped at the repair pits. Then No. 13 blew a ttrct This was followed by a pipping of tires from the other entries all around the course. Finally, No. 13 Jumped the track op the 40th mile, and Louis Disbrow's Pope-Hartford broke down at the same place and was puslied off the course through the same hole In the fence which No. 13 had made. Burman. driving a Marquette Buick, could not shake off the hoodoo, stop ping nine times on account of tire trouble. Harroun and Dawson had quit the track with engine trouble, and Burman began a chase after Horan. With Burman In striking distance, both stopped on even terms with flat tires, but Burman's helpers for the second time In the afternoon grabbed up the wrong tire and lost all he had gained. Horan meanwhile drove Into a safe lead. VINCENT STILL PRESIDENT Elections Make No Changes in Of ficial Board of Press Clnb.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 7 (Speclal.) Walter McCredie. manager of the cham pionship Portland team, gives full credit to San Francisco for helping him win the pennant. The Portland baseball man arrived In the morning from Los An geles, with the Beavers. The balance of the team left on the Shasta Limited to participate In the big benefit game that will be played In Portland next week, but McCredle, who will attend the meeting of minor leagues In Chicago, decided to go directly East from San Francisco, leaving Wednesday morning. "Of course San Francisco helped us win the pennant In the end," he said. The Seals are a mighty good club Just now, and their work against Oakland waa a big feature. The Vernon club was lucky In the first of the week, beat ing a lot of bunts that ought to have been fielded. We could have -taken both Sunday games, but with the pennant won the boys would not play inside baseball. All of them wanted to fatten their bat ting averages and there was no one to sacrifice. However, so long as the pen nant was cinched, it didn't make much difference. , Pasadena Should Have Team. '"We ought to have a good year next season. Los Angeles will have a new grandstand, and that ouht to help. Personally, I would like to see the Ver non club moved to Pasadena, for I think that would be a good thing financially. I rather guess that Portland will be fight ing hard In 1311. Last year when we lost Harkness and Carson, they said It would put us out of the running. They said, the same thing two years ago when Groom and Klnsella left, and now they are at the same old talk because the club loses Gregg and Krapp. I ex pect that we will miss Olson more than any other member. He is a hard worker, fast on the bases and a great run getter." The chances are that the Portland In field will be reconstructed next year. Olson, of course, goes East, and Mc Credie Intimates very strongly that he does not consider Pearl Casey fast enough for the Beavers. He says that Casey's legs are going back on him. and this makes it look as If the second base man will be handed over to the North west League as Portland manager, in case the other clubs will waiver. Portland has a new man In Rogers, of Waterbury, who may develop Into a good shortstop, but there is no second baseman In sight as yet. Speed Is Necessity. "I am more firmly convinced than ever," said McCredle. "that what you need to make a winning club Is speed. If you have not got speed you can't play the hit and run game and you can't sacrifice. I want speed on my club, and that will help win games." McCredle got along with his club well this year, but he let It sUp that during the season he fined three men for drink ing, the fines being remitted after the close of the season,, because the players in question braced up. ' McCredle had trouble several years ago with a team that was composed largely of drinkers, and since that ex perience he has shut down on drinking with- a heavy hand. When he fined the three men in question he told them that he did not want the money, and that If they behaved themselves for the balance of the season they would get their coin back. One of the things that is taking the Portland manager East at this time Is the search for players to fill up his Northwest League team. Since the waiver rule has been adopted on the Coast McCredle cannot turn over play ers from the Beavers at will, and so he must grab a lot of new men.

VOLLEY VIEW CHALLENGED Another Tennis Player and Enthusi ast Comes to Defense of Nat Emerson and Says Good Word for Tyler Also. BT RALPH H. MITCHELL Tennis enthusiasts of Portland are anxiously awaiting the announcement of the Pacific Northwest ranking for 1910. which probably will be made this week by the committee responsible, the members of which are representatives of the Vancouver. B. C, Everett, Wash., and Portland clubs in the International Association. The ranking of the Portland tennis players will not be made until after the North Pacific rating has been an nounced, though It, too, may be given out this week. Through a misapprehension, some tennis players of Portland thought that the review by "Volley" In The Sunday Oregonian was at least a semi-official rating. On the contrary, it was mere ly the opinion of an Individual who fol lows the tennis game and has nothing to do with the official ranking of the Northwest players In any respect. "Volley's" Ideas at Variance. "Volleys Ideas of tennis and the Portland and Northwest players' ability to wield the racquet are much at var iance from those players who took part in play on the Northwest and Port land courts this year. It Is folly for one who has played against Nat Emerson, former Western champion and present Oregon title holder, to say that the former Cincin nati player, now of Washington, Is not a brilliant player, that his service Is not good, that his overhead work is exceedingly poor. Those who saw Em erson on the local courts last summer, for his first time here, were greatly surprised at the exceedingly strong game put up by the former Western champion after being out of the game for over a year. Emerson told the writer, on his vis't here, that he had followed the plow more than he had followed the racq -t on his Washington" orchard, and didn't expect to make a strong showing in his play, but he hoped to be able to enter the Oregon state tournament each year now, and might in time be able to "come back." He came back, and it was his brilliant playing, his strong, straight and reverse serve and his overhead work which won for him. Then, too, Emerson's name has gen erally been seen, at least. In seventh place. In the ranking of America's best tennis players. Could - anything but brilliant playing, a goou service and clever overhead work put him there? It would be safe to venture the puess that If "Volley," whoever he may Je, enters the state tournament next ye: . Oldest Piano House in ,the West Kohler & Chase Washington and West Park. the present Oregon champion will win, if they meet. Comment Awaits Findings. It would be out of place to comment on the North Pacific or Portland play ers before the ranking committee makes Its announcement, so we will withhold till that time. Suffice to say, that "Volley" has the situation sized up as to Wickersham's title to first place among the Port land players. Every one concedes him the title. But we fear "Volley" failed to grasp all of the inside history of Tyler's poor showing this year. Like Emerson, Tyler played less ten nis this year than ever before since he entered his championship form. He was busily engaged at tending to busi ness, preparatory to becoming a Bene- FOOTBALL EXCURSION To Coryallis for the U. of O. vs. O. A. C.
