The batteries for last night at the Milwaukie arena were Lee Anderson, pitcher, and Terry Keller, catcher. rlSe San Francisco negro light-heavyweight handed Keller a socking and won the decision at the end of ten rounds of fair to middling milling. Keller was on the receiving end of enough rock-blasting wallops to have put a dozen ordinary men to sleep, but Terry never weakened for a min ute. When the gong rang at the end of the tenth round he was going stronger than ever. Anderson did not lay back, as he did last week against Sam Langford. The dusky warrior stepped right in and swung them from all angles. Hack-hand blows td the stomach and face were In his bag of tricks, along with left and right swings and straight punches. The dark battler took the first round by a wide margin, and the stagehands were preparing to lower the curtains on Keller. Terry was not to be downed, however, and by the end of the second round was making a valiant rally. Keller Some Absorber. From the third on to the finish the two mixed It up, with Keller absorb ing everything Anderson was giving out. Keller must have thought it was a tag day. He elowed up a little in the third and fourth but took a new lease on life again in the fifth canto, when he sent in some lefts and a right uppercut that caught Anderson sol idly. Keller again took plenty in the sev enth and eighth. The eighth round was the most spectacular of the fight. Keller made a kangaroo rush after Lee and for three minutes the two aded' in toe to toe and dealt out punishment. Keller weathered a rough storm in that stanza. Anderson tried to put over a finishing punch in the ninth and tenth but either lacked the steam or Keile was too tough. The latter looked to be the case, judging from what Keller took throughout the mill. ' A lot of Anderson's punches were delivered with the open hand and made more noise than they did dam age. It looks as if as good a boxer and hitter as Anderson would close his hands more, but many a resound ing smack was recorded by the land ing of an open glove or backhand wallop in last night's ten-round tan gle. Keller couldn't lu'nd with any effect on the shifty negro. The only way he could get in any punishment at all was fairly to fly 'at Lee and let his hands go like a flail. Zu Za GetN Low One. Frankie Murphy, rugged Denver welterweight, entered the ring a sick man against Buttling Zu Zu of Ma nila and lost on a foul in the eighth round after taking a shade up to the finish. The eighth, which was the final of the bout, was about half over when Referee Tom Loutitt stepped in and raised Zu Kit's hand, proclaiming him a winner on a low punch. Up to the sudden ending the bout was a head-lo-head slugging bee. Zu Zu would wait until he got in real cloxe ami then begin swinging both hands to the body and head. Murphy landed at will from long ranee and tliri well in the clinches, but Zu Zu was strong and always ready to scrap. Macario Flores, Joe Waterman's lp-year-old Filipino 133-pounder, won two and took the shade in one round of his six-round fracas with Johnny Fiske only to lose the verdict. The first two rounds Flores jabbed away with a left that never missed. It must be admitted that Fiske was forcing the issue from start to finish, but Flores was doing most of the landing and outboxing Fiske to a finish. The third was the only one in which Fiske won a shade. He slipped over a stiff punch in the last of the fourth on Flores. nut.it did not stop the Fili pino's boxing a.hility. . The brown-skinned invader looked misrhty good in his first start here. Fiske put up an aggressive battle, but the fans couldn't see where he won. A draw would have sent every body home satisfied. Hay Rose. Denver boxer, 'was to have made llti pounds for Eddie Moore. Seattle 110 pounder, and failed to do it. He weighed 118 at o'clock. It was agreed that if the two were on their feet at the end of the six rounds the match was to he a draw. This did not prevent both boys from fighting from gong to gong. More took a lacing but came back strong In the finnl round and earned many a friend. Hose proved a stocky little boxer with a hefty wallop. He tore into his lighter opponent and several times ft looked as if he would put the game Seattle boy away, but Kddie rallied each time and stuck the round. He sent Rose to the mat twice, but the former did not take any count on cither occasion, but bounced right up. "Chick" Rocco of Portland. 130 pounds, was awerded a four-round decision over Al Nelson. Boise, Idaho, lightweight. The bout was about even up. The fans never guessed how near last night's main event came to hav ing to be called off. Keller sustained a stone bruise on his left foot and was hardly uble to limp around yes terday. Matchmaker Frank Kendall took him to Dr. Karl Smith, who gave the foot a treatment and bandaged it. It was necessary to "freeze" the big toe of the foot last night so that Keller could go In the ring. He said before the fight onJy the fact of his personal friendship for Kendall caused htm to go through under the circum stances Dcbrnu Is Outpointed. ROCK FORD, 111.. -Oct. 27.

OREGON TEAM ENTRAINS SIXTEEN PLAYERS START FOI CALIFORNIA GRIDIROX. Coaches Silent as to Prospects, - Students Escort Squad to Station in Rain.. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, Or., Oct. 27. (Special.) In spite of the pouring rain the Oregon students marched In a body to the train in a big rally tonight when the varsity football men left for Palo Alto, Cal. The Oregon team Is to mix with Stanford at that place Saturday. Sixteen men were taken on the trip. Coach Shy Huntington, Assistant Coach Bart Spellman and Trainer Bill Hayward accompanied the men. The coaches were silent as to the pros pects for the game. Many of the Oregon men were injured in the game with Idaho last week and are in poor shape. Bill Relnhart wrenched his ankle badly and will be slowed by this injury. Besides Reinhart, Captain-Bill Steers hurt his knee, and Frank" Hill has a bad wrist. Mart Howard injured his shoulder in prac tice, and Carl Mautz has a badly bruise'd back. Shields also has a bad charley horse. Stanford had an easy game Saturday and should be in bet ter shape than Oregon. The men to be taken on the trip' are Mart Howard, "Rudd" Brown, "Spike" Leslie, "Tiny" Shields, "Brick" Leslie, "Bart" Laughlin, Ed. Ward. Carl Mautz', Captain "Bill" Steers, Frank Hill, Pierre Mead, Francis Jacobberger, "Nish" Chap man, Bill Keinhart, ' "Scotty" Strachan, George King and Ward McKinney. Coach Huntington did not announce his lineup, but the team will prob ably start the game as against Idaho. Howard and Brown will take the ends, "Spike" Leslie and Shields the tackles, Carl Mautz and Ward the guards, with "Brick" Leslie at center. The backfield probably will be made up of King, Steers, Hill and Keinhart. Some of these men may not be able to stand the strain of a full game and may be taken out early. The substitutes are in most i cases nearly as good as the regulars, however, and should be able to make a good showing. The Oregon team will return to Eugene Monday morn ing. FROSH TO MEET INDIANS Several of Team Hurt and Will Not Be Able- to Make Trip. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Oct. 27. (Special.) The University of Oregon freshmen will play the Chemawa Indians at Chemawa next Saturday. Ken Bartlett, coach, says that he will take about 18 men with him on the trip. They will leave Eu gene on the 7:25 Oregon Electric Sat urday morning and return the same evening after the' game. Coach Wil liams will not be able to make the tirp. Several injuries resulted from the game at Eugene last Saturday with Pacific university, which will change the frosh lineup somewhat. Bill John son, the center of the frosh aggre gation, will not be able to participate. "Slim" Johnson, a guard, also was hurt and probably will not be in shape to start the game. Coach Bartlett also plans to shift Halfback Jorden to end. Sport News and Comment. Ty Cobb, the Detroit American league star, w as the guest of honor at a lunch eon at the Press club during his stay in San Francisco. In an informal talk to the newspaper men there he said: "The buys have 4een writing so many fine things about hie for so many years that some times 1 almost get to thinkiug they are risht. But 1 know they have my measure and know my . limitations and have been good enough to play up the beat in me and lay off the oilier sUle." ft is refresh ing to meet with a man whose hat rests comfortably on hit head. a During the entire hour that actual play was going on in the recent game of toot ban between tho University of California and the University of Utah, the liitier It-am never got closer to the California seal line than the 35-yard line. For only approximately three minutes were the Ulahans In possession of the ball on Cali fornia's end of the field. During the re maining .7 minutes of play the ball con stantly was on the L'tah'side of mid-field, generally on its way for a touchdown. It mny fHlrly be said that California now has eradicated Kugby from its system. Next Saturday's football games will be of absorbing interest to all followers of football up and down the coast, for the two principal games to be played may be said to be the- first of the elimination contests for a choice of the western eleven which will face tho" eastern choice on New Year's clay at Pasadena. The University of Oregon will meet Stanford at the lat ters ground, while the University of Cali fornia 'will match strength with Oregon Agricultural collega at Corvallis. The Importance of being well drilled In the fundamentals of football again was exemplified in the game which the Uni versity of Michigan lost for the simple reason that one of its players was unable to kick an easy goal after a touchdown had been scored. With the new rule per muting the ball to be kicked from directly in front of the goal there seems no legiti mate excuse for missing. . . t Armistice dy, November 11, according to present Indications, gives pronil.se of becoming a great athletic day on the American ca-lendar. It ia quite natural that the toung men who go to make up the gisat army of the American Legion should turn to athletics as a form of celebration of the close of the great war.- And quite naturally, too, boxing and football are the two forms of sport which appear most frequently on the programme. These are the most strenuous forms of athletic en deavor where men actually clash in com bat and to the men who went over the top to come at grips with the Hun they make a strong appeak The American public, that great army which follows the ups and downa of the various professional clubs throughout the country, will watch with profound interest the steps that league officials take for the reorganisation of the conduct of the game. The fact that corruption can enter calls for a clear sAte and a new deal. The Rhine has been crossed by French armies more than 20 times in the last 120 years. M'GARTHY ON STAND TEARS INTO League President Denies Maggert's Charges. STROUD TELLS OF $300 Salt Lake Pitcher Informs Grand Jury of Details of Alleged Bribe Attempt. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Oct. 27. (Spe cial.) Another broadside was fired into Babe Borton's camp today when William H. McCarthy, president of the Pacific Coast league, appeared before tho grand Jury investigating the al leged baseball scandal and answered the charge made by Harl Maggert in his testimony before the inquisitorial body last week that the popular league chief was cognizant of the scandal during August of this year and that he failed to take action. McCarthy denied that he failed to act upon learning of certain irregu larities in the league, but, on the con trary, did act by first suspending Borton temporarily and after his trial making the suspension permanent. Spencer's Affidavit Filed. President McCarthy also gave tes timony that will probably throw more light on Borton's activities in bribing certain players. The prexy filed with the jurist an affidavit sworn to by Tub Spencer, catcher of the Salt Lake club, disclosing the alleged attempted bribe of J1700 made by Borton. McCarthy told the probers that it was his earnest desire and that of the other members of special committee ot club owners to co-operate with the district attorney's office in cleaning up the alleged crooked baseball deal. Strond Tells of S.tOO Ball Deal. Ralph Stroud, pitcher of the Salt Lake club, was the first witness called this morning. He told of the $300 offer made to him by Borton to throw a game in which he was to pitch in Los Angeles against the Vernon club. Stroud declared before I the jurists that he started to pitch I in a game here and the Tigers made four runs off him in the first inning and he was taken out a-d that Bor ton, believing that he had delivered the goods, tried to put ?300 in his pocket, but Stroud refused the money. Stroud said that he made a state ment of Borton's plan to Ernie John son, manager, and no suspicion at tached to the Bee athlete. Johnny Powers, president of the Los Angeles baseball club, also testi fied, but he informed the jury that the only knowledge he had of the alleged scandal was merely founded on hearsay. Probe On Till Next Week. Eddie Milligan, implicated in the alleged deal in Salt Lake by Harl Maggert, will arrive here tonight and may be examined tomorrow, although Frank Stafford, deputy district attor ney, stated that the probe would con tinue over until some time next week. President McCarthy announced that he was in receipt of a telegram to the effect that Gene Dale is en route to Los Angeles to clear himself of the charge made by Maggert. It was also learned yesterday that President Erni? Jonnson and But Rumler are snow bound in Colorado. Charlie Graham, president of the Seals, and J. Cal Ewing, head of the O.ikiand club, accompanied McCarthy on his trip from the north. Edward F. Wehrle, attorney of the Vernon club, in a statement made yesterday quotes Deputy District Attorney Staf ford as denying that Al Devormer, Tiger player, maae a written state ment that he (Devormer), had pro tested to President McCarthy con cerning the smallness of his check from the fans' fund and that he un. derttood the check had been reduced because a certain amount of the fund had been set aside to bribe players on the opposing teams. Attorney Wehrle quoting Mr. Staf ford, says that Devormer had a talk with Mr. Stafford, in which Devor m?r said that he objected to the. amount paid him at the time he re ceived it, but afterwards learned that some of tlie promised contributions were not paid and he was then satis fied. Borton's Attorney" Answered. Attorney Wehrle answered Borton's attorney, Griffith Jones, by stating that the fans' fund was distributed after the St. Paul series closed and Borton, having been injured during the closing week of the series with Los Angeles, was. as he said, unable to play any further during the 1919 series and was appointed by the Ver non players to" look after their in terest in checking up the gate re ceipts with the secretaries of the Vernon and St. Paul clubs. The funds were handled by Bill Es sick, manager, and as most of the fans' fund was received on the last day in checks, they were cashed out of the gate receipts and Mr. Essick gave the player's shares to Borton. who was representing the players. Fun Fund Not Short. Manager Bill Essick stated tonight that the fans' fund was not short $2000, nor any amount if, by the fans' fund is meant the amount actually received. There were a lot of prom ised contributions made at the ban quet where the fund was started bu up to the time of the first distribution only $3470 had been collected and this amount was paid in full to the ath letes, he declared. IRES MUST DECIDE NOW 1921 MANAGERSHIP OF SEAT TLE CLCB AT ISSUE. President Kleppcr Telegraphs ex Pilot He Is Wanted, but Must Give Answer by Today. SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 27. (Spe cial.) Clyde Wares, will either be manager of the 1921 Seattle club by, tomorrow night, or he will, be no longer a candidate for the position. President Klepper has telegraphed the former pilot to give him an an swer tomorrow. The big minor league meeting in Kansas City is only a cou ple of weeks distant, and if Wares Is going to handle the Rainiers again, the local president expects him to go east with him. The Seattle directors have made Clyde their best offer, giving him a large boost in salary over last season. All of the directors expressed sincere hopes that Wares would take the job, because the peppery little skipper's work was entirely satisfactory. But if Clyde cannot make up his mind now, then he must withdraw from the field. The fact that Wares is in business in Hanford. Cal., may keep him from accepting the berth again.

Even unfermented blackberry juice, it is, said, offends some of the stern prohibition advocates here. It was reported that wine was being hidden in the cellar of the home maintained for widows of Grand Army veterans at Puyallup. D. J. Williams, collector of internal revenue, at first paid no attention to the report, but later or dered an investigation. Prohibition officers found the fruit juice, they said, and so reported.
