WORLD BASEBALL STRUGGLE 50-50 AFFAIR, THINKS EVANS American' League Umpire Refrains from Picking Winners in Diamond Battle and Recalls How Dope Has Not Always Panned Out in Past. The last of the series of articles onthe theatricals. Mr. Cohan' proved con- George Brandon, popular Portland boxer, who is now pastiming in the United States navy aboard theU. S. S. Plattsbure, has had the opportu nity to witness two world's cham pions and the titleholder of anothe: nation in action since last heard from, which was peveral months ngo when he was on shore leave at Liver pool, England. The men whom Bran don writes about in a ietter received yesterday are Joe Beckett, the Eng lish heavyweight champion; Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world and Johnny Kilbane, feather weight champion of the world. Brandon is one of the most popular battlers ever developed here and en listed in the navy at the outbreak of the war. He wa-s stationed at Mare island, Cal., for sometime but for more than a year has been seeing active service aboard various battle ships in the Atlantic ocean and has made numerous trips across to Eng land and Fiance. Brandon was a bantamweight when he enlisted and fought his way to the championship of the coast by defeat ins Charley Moy, before leaving Mare island. Oeorge writes that he is now a full fledged featherweight and go ing stronger than ever. He is at present in New York and expects to return for a visit to Portland in the near future. George has received several flattering offers to remain in the east and fight but is anxious to return home. In writing of Beckett Brandon says, "this Knglish champion Beckett isn't much. On our last trip 1 obtained a furlough and spent it in London. Vhile there I had a good look at Beckett in training. He is a good man in Kngland but is nothing to compare --ith Jack Dempsey." ' Brandon saw Benny Leonard fight Johnny Dundee in Newark, N. J., several weeks ago and was also at the ringside when Johnny Kilbane toppled over Frankie Burns in five rounds at Newark last week. Bran don says that Dundee gave Leonard a great fight and is the real goods. As to Kilbane Brandon says the daddy of the feathers looked slow and outweighed Burns at least 10 pounds. Two bouts have been clinched for the show at the Heilig theater on October 8 by matchmaker Jack Grant. Harry Pelsinger of San Francisco will tangle 10 rounds with Jiminy Dundee in the main event, while Stanley Willis will travel the same distanoe against Freddie Anderson in the seini-windup. Tickets were telegraphed to "Moose" Tausigg, Pelsinger's mana ger yesterday and thej will leave for Portland immediately. Fans will re member Pelsinger as the boy whom Muff Bronson beat at the old Hose City club several years ago. Dundee has never appeared here. Carl Martin may meet some good 133 pounder in the eight round spe cial event. Bobby "Ward, St. Paul lightweight, who won the lightweight champion ships of the 91st division and repre sented that body in the tournament in Paris, is anxious to come to Portland and take on the leading boys at his weight here. Ward has fought some of the best lightweights in the coun try and should be an attraction here. When at was pronounce that Johnny Ertle, the St. Paul bantam weight who had a -lose claim on the world's title for several years was through, the name of Ertle was not destined to die out as Johnny had a little brother, Mike, who could fight his weight in wildcats. Since Johnny has withdrawn from the spotlights he has given his brother a chance to make good in the bantamweight ranks and under the guidance of Mike Col lins, Minneapolis and St. Paul boxing promoter and manager of boxers, he is making good with a vengeance. Young Ertle is fast fighting his wav to the top of the division and right now is considered as formidable a boy as hi.s older brother was when he was bux'ng at the height of his career. Collins would like nothing better than to bring Mike Ertle here to meet Billy Mascott and in a letter received by Jack Grant yesterday offers to fiend his protege in against any man in the world, preferring Pete Herman, Joe Burman. Joe Lynch and Frankie Masoh. Grant may possibly use Ertle on the next show following the Oc tober 8 bill if satisfactory arrange, metits can be made.

But not me. world series by Billy Evans, American league umpire, who will officiate in the comlne; struggle between the White Sox and the Rels, is entitled by the writer, "Who Will Win the World's Series?" giv ing the fans some insight on the greatest baseball event of the year. BY BILLY EVAN'S. WHO will win the world's series? Right now, with all red blooded Americans, that is a f-- rv,r important question than what Is going to happen to the league of nations . What I think on that very impor tant baseball question is the mere opinion of one individual Everyone is enti tled to an opinion, and, believe me, every baseball fan in this broad land has one. A lot of them are going to back their opinion with their bank I am going to let mine repose in the bank at the custo mary interest. Back in 1!)14 a friend of mine asked me what I thought about the series between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Boston Braves. I rather laughed, because I didn't believe that you had to do any thinking to dope out that series. It looked to me like a wrap-up for the Athletics. I told my friends that it wouldn't surprise me if it was all over In four games. Only on that point was I right. The series' lasted four games, but those games were won by the Boston Braves. I finished the 1914 season In New York, and stayed there to officate in the city series. I dropped around to the theater one evening, having re ceived a couple of passes from George M. Cohan, who is a dyed-in-the-wool supporter of the American league and a baseball fan extraordinary. Now It i:i a well-known fact that Mr. Cohan has a master mind He has a hair trigger brain that can reach positive conclusions quickly, and usually he is a hundred per cent perfect in his de ductions. Fwe to KvprewA Opinion. Prior to the p.-rformance I bumped into Mr. Cohan and naturally the t"pic of discussion was baseball. Since I was not to be one of the officials, I felt I could freely express my opini on as to the relative strength of the two clubs. To Mr. Cohan I expressed the same opinion as to my other f rfend, that I didn't believe the Braves could offer strong competition. 1 re garded the Philadelphia club as the greatesteam of all times, at the very top of its game, and couldn't for the life of me see how the Boston club had even an outside chance. Mr. Co han listened to my argument and then came forth with his viewpoint. After that series was over and I had thoroughly digested what Mr. Cohan had said, I realized how wisely he had figured in making his deductions. "I want to see the Athletics win," said Mr. Cohan, "and I realize that on paper there is no comparison be tween the "two teams, yet I feel cer tain that the Braves are going to treat the baseball world to the big gest upset in years. Sentiment only would cause me to favor the Athlet ics. I figure the psychology of the situation is going to enter largely in the determining of the winner. This Boston club was ' nowhere in the middle of the season, and then it started to come. With each vic tory came added confidence. The winning of the National league pen nant was the big climax for the Boston team, a good club. clusively 'that the opinion of a base ball man about baseball can be as funny as some of the shows he has written. Whereupon Mr. Cohan pro ceeded to go out and bet 20 or 30 cents on his own opinion, which was more wisdom on the part of Mr. Cohan. Since then he has often kidded me by telling me that he has a high respect for my criticism of his shows, but about baseball, thet's a different story. Dope la Uncertain. Doping out the probable winner, as I have said before, is the mere opinion of one man. A lot of critics are going to pick the series right, and Just as many are going to "fliv ver." If "Red" Faber of the Sox was pitching In 1917 form, I would say without any hesitation that I would lean strongly to the chances of the White Sox. But "Red" Faber during the season has not shown 1917 form, therefore I am much in doubt as to Chicago's chances. It is a pretty big task to ask two pitchers. Eddie Ci cottee and "Lefty" Williams, to carry the burden of a nine-game series. The selection of the White Sox pitchers for the big games is going to prove a difficult task for Gleason. If either Cicotte or Williams happened to be hit hard and beaten, then the task becomes all the more of a problem. It is possible that "Lefty" Kerr, the midget southpaw of the Sox, may prove to be Gleason's ace in the hole. Left-handers they say make lots of trouble for the Reds, and Kerr is a pretty pert southpaw, despite the fact that this is his first year in the big show, Cincinnati on the other hand has a surplus of pitchers, and in a short series, pitching strength is of untold value. It is my opinion that no National league club that has met the Amer ican league entry in the big series in the past ten years entered the classic with a better chance to win than the Reds. On paper the Reds do not shine, but on the field they perform most brilliantly, and it is on the field that ball games are won. It is a well-rounded aggregation, with a consistent offense as well as de fense, some mighty fine pitchers and a level-headed manager. The club is chockful of confidence as a result of its dark-horse victory in the National league. In a way it is a club that will enter the series very much as did the Boston Braves in 1914. It will be a club that has complete confidence in itself. There is one baseball authority who will pick the Reds. For ten years he has picked the National league entry and in that time his prediction has gone over only once. If a man Ciwi pick ten winners and have only one to come through, and still be a wise baseball man, then I fear not what may happen to my final analysis of the two clubs. It wouldn't surprise me if the series went at least - seven games. 1 have worked so many great games back of Cicotte and Williams, know their ability so well, that 1 can hardly see how they can keep them from winning. Likewise, I can appreciate the strength of the Cincinnati club. wjiieh makes me believe the series will be one of the most bitterly con tested in years. I realize that Chi cago has a great catcher and a re markable infield, captained by that sterling athlete, Eddie Collins. I also know how that outfield of the Sox can hit and throw. It is a real ball club, with a punch that always keeps on trying, regardless of the score. It is a game, thoroughbred aggregation down to the lowly substitute. It fights all the way. But don't forget the Cincinnati team is a similar ball club. In conclusion. I might say" that to V1GKERS TO INSPECT EASTERN AQUATICS Crystal Pool Instructor Has Praise for Sound Meet.

It is go ing to get good pitching, that is cer tain, and 1 believe most of those Braves are already trying to decide just how to spend the winner's share. You think the Athletics may take four straight, while 1 don't believe the Braves will need over five games, and they might do just what yo'J think the Athletics will." In substance those are the words Mr. Cohan used. His viewpoint was directly opposite to mine Mr. Cohan is a theatrical man who likes base ball. I am a baseball man who likes J.'igurcs in Punchbowl Compel ition Knock Records of Former Years for Similar Events. Members of the Waverley tvountry club still are discussing the splendid showing made by their golf team in the annual punchbowl tournament at Seattle Saturday. In a contest in which seven teams of eight men each took part, the Waverley men won their first leg on the famous punch bowl, and at the same time registered the best score against Colonel Bogey that has been made by a selected team in over ten years. When the final scores had been totaled it was found Waverley was but one down to the colonel, while their nearest competi tor, the Vancouver Golf and Country club was 18 points away. The Seattle Golf club was third with 20 down to the fictitious colonel. Next in line, Shaughnessy Heights of Vancouver, B. C, finished 22 down. Victoria Golf club, presenting what was considered a very strong front, totaled 69 down. The Tacoma Coun try and Golf ekib totaled 73 down for the day. Everett registered a total of 113 down. The showing made by the local club is remarkable considering that the punchbowl was won by the Seattle Golf club in 1917 with 42 down to Bogey. The trophy was not put in competition last year on account of many of the club members being in the service. The handsome trophy will remain at the Waverley club for one year, and will be put in competition again next fall, the club winning it three times becoming the permanent holder. The remarkable showing made by the Waverley team was due to a large extent to the nine up of Forest Wat son, whose model .score of 74. was equal to the best stroke score of the day.

BY HARRY EDDAS. Don J. VIckers, swimming Instruct or and -coach of the Seattle Crystal pool team, was a Portland visitor yes terday. The state swimming reeet on Thursday closed the swimming sea son in the sound city until spring. Vickers. after a brief visit to Eugene, will leave on an extended visit to the principal cities of the east to make a study of the latest things aquatic. In speaking of the meet on Thurs day, at which eight new records in Pacific northwest swimming were set, he said it was the greatest event ever. staged in Seattle. The time on several of the new records was confused. The correct time on the 50-yard dash for men should have been 25 4-5 instead of 24 as quoted: time for the 220. 2:39 1-5 instead of 2:30; and 34.4 for the 50 yard backstroke for men instead of 45 1-5. The brother of A. V. Kaehu. who, set two of the new records, is some swimmer himself, as he is ac credited with making the 100-yard backstroke in 1:07, faster time than made by Stubby Kruger, world's champion. Coach Vickers is In favor of set ting dates for the various northwest swimming events and staging each event separately, thus making the swimming season longer and creat ing greater interest in the different events. California has used this sys tem for years, , while the northwest has staged all the indoor and outdoor events at one time, running them off in one day. If this system is Inaugu rated the events then can be divided between Seattle, Victoria, Spokane and Portland instead of one city hog ging all, as is now the custom. Seattle will bid for the 1920 Indoor Pacific northwest swimming and div ing meet and their representative at the P. N. A. meeting next month nan been instructed to put iW a fight for it. Coeur d Alene is after the out door meet and Spokane representa tives will undoubtedly back Seattle s claims for the backing they will re ceive in return for the outdoor event. Ii is safe, then, to say that Seattle will stage the indoor champlonship3. with the outdoor events at Coeur d'Alene next year. Word was received in Portland yes terday that Norman Itots will not stop over in Portland on his way to San Francisco and Honolulu, but will arrive in San Francisco tonight from Chicago. Koss swims in the national ;00 at Neptune beach next Sunday afternoon and will not enter the Gol den Gate swim, but be one of the officials. Koss is accompanied west by the Illinois Athletic club's famous ccach, Hachrack. Both Ross and Bachrack will visit in Portland after their return from the islands. The Illinois Athletic club is nbw arrang ing a tour to Australia f r Ross and the date is set for some time in Feb ruary, when a swimr ng meet is be ing staged in the antipodes. The mid-Pacific officials at Hono lulu announce that the other swim mers from the states competing in the various events will be Bolden, winner of the national ten-mile; Perry McUillivray. the grand old man of the I. A. C.. and Hartung, the famous diver. Clyde Swendson of the Los Angeles club also will go over. It is expected that as all but Swendson are traveling together that they will visit here along with Ross and Bach rack. m m m Pete McDonald, one of the nest swimmers ever turned out by Mult nomah club, returned to Portland vesterdav. navinar bee n A l-ti (Copyright. 1919, by W.

I T IS anything but comfortable to feel that so vital a thing in a golf er's life as a good shot depends upon muscular reactions timed to a frac tion of a second. But reassurance may be had in remembrance of the fact that correct "timing" is neces sary to the successful performance of 60 per cent of the daily behavior. Sev eral voices tuned to one another and "timed" produce a chorus, but disrupt or ignore the "timing" and a very different animal appears. A clear un derstanding of the functions of tim ing" in a successful golf shot will help the player to locate the cause of many a faulty play. You have seen a player beat the earth or top a ball again and again, seeking a remedy each time by lengthening his hold or standing away from or up to his ball when the cause of his trouble lay in incorrect "timing." On the forward swing his weight was shifting before his shoulders rotated or his wrists stiffening as he hit the ball. His shot was not "timed." Koeliler Leads Northwestern. CHICAGO, Sept. 29. Robert Koeh ler, a senior at Northwestern uni versity and halfback on the football eleven in 1916 and 1917, today was elected captain of the 1919 Purple team.

Frank Burns, a wealthy Toronto sportsman, has donated a gold and sliver cup for the 1920 Hudson bay derby, the dog-team classfc of the northland. Interest in the race, which is held March 17, promises to be intense. So many dugs have been withdrawn from commercial use for training for the derby that the price of commer cial animals is Jumping daily. The gold rush to the district around Cop per lake has also sharply affected the dog supply. AMHEREST ELEVEN ROUNDED Trial Team Has Average Weight of 180 Pounds in Line. AMHERST, Mass., Sept. 29.

Professor Brumbaugh Makes Good as Coach of Gridiron Boys. Alumni Open Season. ALBANY, Or., Sept. 29. (Special.) Glenn Gilbert, who re-entered school upon his return from the service, has been chosen manager of the Albany high school football team for this season and Is arranging a schedule which will include games with most of the high school teams of this part of the state. The only Interscholastle game definitely arranged yet Is with Eugene high school, to be played In this city October 18. The Albany team this season will be composed largely of ex-service men from present indications. Boys who returned to school after doing their turn in the army or navy predominate astiong the likely candidates for the team. "1'ele" Miller, who was in the navy during the entire war, has been elected captain of the team lor tin season. Though the squad has been out only four nights, rapid progress is beiug made because of the fact that most of the players have had former football experience. Only about 20 men have been turning out thus far, but more are expected this week. Indications are that the local high school, which has always ranked well in luterscho lactic football and has sent m.tny players to the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural college, will have a good team again this year. The team is being coached this year by Professor J. F. Brumbaugh, who already has won the confidence of the boys as a competent instructor and who also is popular with the players.
