' The crowd that saw the first of the , world's championship games here was ' Silo short of the attendance at the first J, game for the world's title played here .with Chicago last year. 1 Connie Mack was all smiles when he appeared In his office In the tower of I Shlbe park after the game. He had played another card, but not the one - M-;raw had expected, and still has ' t'oomhs. the "Iron man," to take up k !th gage of battle on the Polo ; ground tomorrow. The crowd fully ', .expected the tall mnnager to trot out i Coomha. who won three world's series ' games last year. I 1 Klral Pitch la Mrtk. , Plank was not used In the series i'wlth Chicago In 1910 and there was some misgiving In the crowd as to ,;the outcome of the game. But wnen It ,,was seen how well the southpaw was 'working they cheered him on. The gatne began with New York at -the bat. The first ball pitched by P!nr.k was a strike, and the crowd rheered. The next also was a strike J and the third a ball. The fourth pilch I sent tJie '.Ittle left fielder. Ievore. 'hack to the bench. Captain lK)yle sent I f:y to Lord, which tlie latter almost J lost, slipping on the soft ground as he '. started after the ball. Snodgrass was tipped on the shirt front by one of I Planks speedy Inshoota and' went to ; 'Irst. He was left there, as Murray filed to Collins.

Oldrlng laid down a pretty J , sacrifice, which put Lord on third, and I then Marquard let loose a wild pitch, :and Lord came home. Collins singled. 'and Paker. always dangerous, came up to the plate. It was here that Mar quard showed signs of unsteadiness, lie either could not catch or did not understand Meyers' signals.

Devore made a mess of Barry's long; fly and Barry reached second on the muff. He was left there, as Thomas sent a long fly to Devore and Plank went out on a alow grounder, which Meyers picked up and shot to Merkle. Devore struck out for the second time when he came np In the third In ning, and Doyle went out by a fly to Lord. 8 nod grass singled to right after two strikes had been called on him and was left on the base paths.

The pitching of Plank and Marquard became hard to beat. New York went out In quick order In the fourth. Col lins made a pretty pickup of Merkle's bounder and tossed him out. Herxog lifted a high fly to Barry, which nearly got away from him. and Fletcher was an easy out. Barry to Darts. For the Athletics In the fourth. Baker waa tossed out by Doyle. Murphy sent a high fly to Devore and Davis sent up a high foul which Meyers got under. The Indian catcher waa flrst up In the fifth Inning and went out. Baker to Davis. Marquard struck out on four pitched balls and then Devore got the laugh from Plank, as he struck out for the third time. Philadelphia's fifth Inning waa as quickly played. Barry dropped a bunt In front of the plate, but Marquard made a neat pickup and shot the ball to flrst ahead of the shortstop. Thomas sent a grounder to Fletcher and Plank smiled as Marquard sent him back to the bench on three pitched ball. Break" Cornea la Sixth. Davis took Doyle's grounder unas sisted In the sixth. Then ' Snodgrass sent a fast single down the left field foul line. Lord raced after the ball and when Snodgrass got near second he found that Barry, through a great throw by Lord, had the ball, and was waiting for him. Murray struck out. Lord had gone out on a fly to Snod graas and Oldrlng on a long drive to Uevore In the second half of the sixth, when the breakup came. Collins drove a two-base hit to left field and the crowd called on Baker to bring him home. Baker allowed two balls to go by him and then Marquard sent up one that Just suited the best home-run hitter on the Athletic team. The ball sailed over the right field fence, and Collins, who was off with the crack of the bat, "loafed" home when he saw that Baker had put the ball over the wall. Marquard kept his nerve In the face of the three-to-one score and struck out Murphy. ' Meyers Hits Hard. It now took two runs to tie the score and the Athletic rooters began to sing. Merkle hushed them by sousing a single to center on the first ball pitched. Herxog filed to Oldrlng and Fletcher was an easy out to Baker. Merkle was caught napping. Flank to Davis. In Philadelphia's seventh inning Davis drove a liner to Doyle, and Barry lined to Herxog. Thomas sent up a fly to Fletcher. Meyers sent a terrific drive to Col lins In the eighth, which the second Backer held, and Crandall. who was sent In to bat for Marquard. went out. Collins to Paris. Perore struck out again. Prank and Lord struck out In the eighth Inning for the American Leaguers, and Oldrlng. the last man to come to bat for the home team, went out. Herxog to Merkle. New York made a desperate attempt to do something In the ninth, but It was futile. Doyle fouled to Thomas, Hnodgrass struck out and Murray sent an ugly grounder tbit Collins snared and tossed to Paris. The official box score: PHILADKUPHIA. AB K H PO A B Ird.

As predicted by the big league sages, light willow waving has been much In rogue In the world's series. In both games each side has made but ten blngles. Baker, of the Mack men. Jumped to the top of the column and leads all his competitors by a good margin. As In Saturday's game, the winning team yesterday made one hit less than the losers.

WINTER LEAGUERS GO SOUTH "Hush" Players Will Pass Cold Spell In California. LOS A NO ELKS, Oct. 15. (Speclal.)-r Los Angeles players who have been playing professional and semi-professional hall In the bush leagues of the West md Middle West are trooping back to Los Angeles for the Winter. All will be seen In the ranks of the Winter league here. More "bush" players faraduate from the sand lots of Los Angeles than any other city of Us size, according to those who have kept In touch with the doings of these youngsters. When the Ice breaks on the lakes North and eaat thav are signed up In aome league, whli h more than likely is only known In Its Immediate vicinity, and there they proceed to set the league afire with Ty Cobb stunts. But when the scheduled games In the leagues in which rhey are playing come to a close they start for Los Angeles. If their "big league" stunts fail to dazzle, they still hare vivid Imaginations to help them out with tales of wonderful prow ess with stick and fielding glove In the remote regions. As Patsy O'Rourke says, "the hottest games are played around the corner when the gang geta together." Patsy should know, for on his fn rorite corner In Philadelphia 41 base ball Dlayers gather each Winter. They 'play in various parts of the country and many are tne amazing taies nicy relate. The Winter talk Is becoming warm, as the Coast League season has but five more weeks to run. Following this a series of games will be played. Some of the youngsters who have returned to this city, according to Bill" Corneft. nre Johnny Rawllngs. "Bush" Bacon, who has been playing In the Mink League, Vance Grey and Al Nally. WELCOME HOMETO BEAVERS ALL OFF Special Series With Oakland Puts Stop to Plans for Big .Benefit Here. WOLVERTON DRAWS PRIZE Danny Shea, of Seattle Team, Says That mil Lcard, Drafted by Oak Leader, Is One of Best Ballplayers In West. Danny Shea, the crack Seattle catcher who played In the Northwestern League post-season series between the Van couver team and the Seattle. Is a Portland visitor en route to Oxnard. CaL, where he will receive for the crack aggregation gathered together by George and Jess BtovalL Shea's home Is In Portland. "Wolrerton got one crack little player when he drafted Bill Leard," said the North western s premier back stop. "Leard hits well. Is one of the fastest base runners In the West, and fields his position well in fact, he se cured the prize of S25 offered by a Seat tle firm for being the most valuable member of the team." "I don't know whether he will re port, though," added Danny. "Wolver ton telegraphed him Immediately after the end of the Northwestern season, asking him to report so that he could get a line on him, but Leard said then that he didn't want to play in the West again and might quit baseball." Shea thinks the big league scouts passed up two good bets in Pitchers Gordon and Schmutx, of the Tacoma Tigers. Each world's series has made and unmade Its Individual heroes, and many are the conjectures surrounding the present clash. Here Is the list to date: 1908 Pitcher Bill Dlneen, Boston. 1905 Pitcher Mathewson, New York. 1906 In fielders Donohue and Rone, Chicago. 1907 Catcher Kllng. Cubs, and First Baseman Rossman. Detroit Tigers. 1908 Catcher Kllng, Chicago Cubs. 1909 Pitcher "Babe" Adams. Pitts burg. Because of the week's post-season series with the Oakland club at San Francisco, which will keep the Portland Beavers In the south until the first of November, no public testimonial or ben efit Is likely to be arranged for the Coast League twice pennant winners this season. A movement for a huge minstrel show to be staged at one of the local theaters had been initiated by the committee that arranged last year's benefit game, but the announcement of the series with the Oaks put the blanket on all the plans. Several members of the Beavers Seaton, Steen. Harkness, Rapps, Rodg ers. Ryan and possibly one or two others will probably pass a goodly part of the Winter in Portland and vicinity, but the others will not appear to re ceive congratulations until April of 1912. ' 1910 Pitcher Coombs, Second Base man Collins, Athletics. J. J. Parker, of the Waldorf Billiard parlors. Is in receipt of a letter from "Chick" Wright, the well-known Pa ciflo Coast billiard crack, saying that he will probably pay a visit to Portland some time In November. "Wright is now playing a series with Ben Saylor, ex-champlon of the Coast, In San Francisco, Wright giving Saylor a ISO-point handicap with 760 to make," said Parker. "The two men have nerer met before." Signs of a busy season are cropping out in other headquarters, too. Man ager Soloman, of Solly's emporium, an nounces plans for a state champion ship tournament to be staged this Fall. Henry Soloman, claimant for the Ore gon title for 18 years, has relinquished bis claim to the winner of the series. Frits Holland, well-known North western middleweight, was robbed of a four-round decision over Sailor Petros key In San Francisco the other night, according to T P. Magllllgan, of the Bulletin. Holland defeated the marine mauler some time ago and should have won easily. Duarte, another boxer fa miliar to Portland fans, won in four rounds from Joe Murphy. Five Western League towns finished the season on the crimson side of the ledger, according to Denver writers. Denver paid big with Its pennant win ners. Pueblo gave Isbell a surplus of shillings, and St. Joe was good to Hol land, but Omaha. Sioux City. Des Moines, Lincoln and Topeka went de cidedly wrong. In the Coast League every franchise returned big profits to its stockholders. Pan Francisco leading, with Portland, Vernon. Los Angeles. Oakland and Sac ramento stringing along In about the order named. Ewlng annually refuses to cite figures on his baseball earnings, but those on the inside figure the Seal profits at 840.000. CAVlXIi WILL PLvVY 'FISIT Swimming Expert to Introduce New Form of Aquatic Amusement. Arthur .Carill. swimming instructor of the Multnomah Club, will introduce a novel aquatic feat at the regular weekly social swim of the athletic or ganization, which will bo held tonight Spectators will have the opportunity to witness a swimmer trying to remain in the water while a man is endeavor ing to haul him out of the tank by means of a pole attached to body harness worn by the swimmer. In this "human fishing" bee, Cavlll will match his strength in the water against Otto Mlchaelson, who will act the role of angler. This test of skill and strength is one of the most popular forms of aquajtlc sport In Australia, where a number of great swimmers have been produced, says Cavill. He asserts that he is the. strongest swimmer In the world and that it is impossible for any one to haul him out against his will in side of ten minutes, the time alloted for the "fisher." If Cavill Is still surg ing about in the tank when the ten minutes expire, Mlchaelson loses. An Interclub swim will be another feature of the programme. Members of the T. M. C. A. and the Multnomah Club will compete, the former getting a handicap. The Judges for the evening are El wood Wiles, starter; George Sheppard and Frank Harmar, Judges; Frank Watklns and S. T. Britten, timers. Stack May Bo Xntional Chairman. BUFFALO. N. V., Oct. 1. The Ex press says today that Norman E. Mack Is scheduled to succeed Winfleld A.

If this programme Is carried out, Mack will have the unique status of being both National and state chairman. FORWARD PASS IS XOT HKED Mike Murphy, Famous Yale Trainer, Says It Spoils Game. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16. "Mike" Murphy, the veteran football trainer, is convinced that the forward pass is poor football. t "The point I make against the for ward pass is that it is a violation of the elementary principles of football. It never was nor ever will be anything but a haphazard play, and It disorgan izes any team's defense. "I have always contended that what spectators like to see is the ball moved down the field by a series of well-executed plays, cleverly designed and oper ated. The basketball feature, in wh'ch the. ball Is thrown all over the field and passes back from one team to an other team. Is not good football. "I would like to see a return to some of the principles of the old game." FANDOM AT RANDOM VENICE, a seaside resort about 20 miles west of Los Angeles, is making a strong bid for the Vernon franchise In the Coast League and there is a slight chance that Hogan will switch his crew to Venice. The crowds at this youthful Coney Island Sunday mornings are enormous and as a new park is imperative at Vernon anyway, the stockholders figure they will make money by the switch. Tommy Sheehan, the clever third baseman on the Portland Coasters, led the team In hitting against the Los Angeles pitchers with an average of 400. Krueger was second with .381 and La Lonere, the fill-In catcher, third with .371. Other figures were: Chadbourne, .343; Rodgers. .323; Rapps. .312; Kuhn, .272; Peckingrpaugh, .2o8; Ryan, .250. Harry Abies and Hub Pernoll. pitch ing stars of the Oakland team, will pass a portion of the Winter In Oregon; Medford being Pernoll's destination after the Portland post-season series; Cutshaw, Hoffman.

All gridiron signs point to a fast game between Chicago and Illinois. Tlia fact that Illinois defeated Chicago last year and has the shade in veteran ma terial and individual stars gives en couragement to the State Unlver.s;;r team, but Chicago's fast games against Indiana and Purdue assures the Urhana eleven of worthy opposition. That this week's practice will tell the tale, Is the word from the two camps. Portland Golfers Are Second.
