THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 27, 1919. WATCH-TOWER OBSERyATIONS Material and Immaterial Sport .Syl logisms by Roscoe Fawcett. 'Members of the Portland Pacific Coast League Team Will Not Be Arrested for Arson Tonight They Set No Burning Pace in A. D. 1912" Abe's Philosophy. "T HE man who knows how to procrastinate in ths right place la wise." says Siwashy George Fitch. When we feel like punching large man In a curious argument, or when a mining stock oromoter has ai moat induced us to buy neatly printed -not caier at $1000 per ounce, the ability to procrastinate with skill Is a great blessing. But, procrastination in all cases Is not practical. The time Is ripe for u All-Star Pacific Coast League ball team. and. while we would much 'pre fer enlare-insr tomorrow to care for un finished routine, the stowing ' of the baseball child beneath the quilts, minus starry cast and speculation would be about as lonesome a proposl tlon as a maiden aunt at a dancing nartv. We can't miss the bullseye much " further than the gink who chose Harry McArdle as one of the six greatest players in the circuit anyway, so here goes the oracle: , -Catcher. Mitze. Oakland; pitcher, Klawitter. Portland: first base, Del Howard. San Francisco: second base, Ivan Howard, Los Angeles; shortstop, Bera-er. Los Ans-eles: third base, Mel ling. Oakland; right field. Fitzgerald, Portland: center field. Daley, uoa An geles; left field, Kane. Vernon; utility infielder, Hosp, Vernon; utility out fielder. Bavless. Vernon. As batterymen Mltze and Klawitter reign supreme. Del Howard's wonder ful hitting srives him the call over Dillon. Rapps and Miller, all of whom are ponderous on the paths. The re maining three infield choices would be almost unanimous II a poll or tne ex- certs were to be taken. Kane and Daley, two wonderful all-around play ers, as attested by the vote cast in the auto award, must be given outtieiu berths on any starry corps assembled. There may be a wide diversity of opin ion over Fitzgerald, with such sterling gardeners as Carlisle of .Vernon, Coy of Oakland, Bayless or Vernon ana Doane and Krueger of Portland de mandlng attention. But we're playing the youthful protege of -Hal Chase with more than a copper and that's why the Santa Clara kid gets our bid. WHEN Jack Johnson, the herculean prizefighter, last halted In San Francisco a wise Jurist, Judge Tread well, we believe it was, shunted him Into the caboose for 30 days for speed ing 'his automobile. Jack, in a peeve, declared he would never again visit the place punctuated by the old Spanish don, Portola. San' Francisco can be considered lucky If the "smoke" sticks '.to his word. Some other cities we might mention could do worse than purge the gutters of the heavyweight champion and his Caucasian hero-worshipers. There isn't a single person, , be he sportsman or mollycoddle, who has a spark of friendship or sympthy for Johnson in his present Chicago im broglio involving Miss Luclle Cameron, the Minneapolis white girl. The negro's attitude has been an af front Jo both races, Caucasian and Ethiopian. Whether or not the Federal officers succeed In strong-arming him Into a striped suit on the abduction charge, at least one good will have been accomplished in the clamping of the lid on his "Cafe de Champion. John son's victory at Reno seems to have swelled his cranium to such an extent that he imagined himself the idol of the universe. He should be not tol erated further in any self-respecting community. A fly once challenged a crack pistol shot to kill him at 20 feet. The fly then perched boastfully on a stick of dynamite. Johnson appears to be emu lating the smaller insect, and the pity of it is the McNamara talents were wasted on a newspaper. w ( HT is it In a novel persons al ways misunderstood- and In real life they are next In a moment? love carols In the heart. In real life it listens like Spring fever. ballplayers have a girl In the grandstand watching her hero's every move. In real life they have several. attention is always riveted. In real life It lays around loose. eyes always twinkle. In real life they have a fixed expression like a doorknob. And why is It that Jake Stahl, of Boston, is the greatest manager in tne world because Snodgrass, of the Giants, muffed a fly ball? Have you ever stopped to ponder what a panning Jake would have re ceived for his pitching choice If the Red Sox had gone through the Math- ewson ringer on that final, fateful af ternoon? But, life Is sweet and -we must be brave." A FORMER surgeon In a Chicago dermatolosrlcal instl-toot adver tises with a loud toot that he is pre pared to take your rough and uncul tured hide and make It over into a refined, delicate integument with a college education. He also gave your face a walloD and wnere you expressed deformity and ugliness and sported a 25-cent wart you are now prepared to make the Apollo Belvidere look like a SDeckled orizeflghter. 'With a hand mirror you can -watcn vour defects disappear reads the. ad vertlsement. "Dictate your own facial corrections. Tour face will be made pleasing and attractive. The memoes employed are painless." . If that "prof" has any dope which will make Walter McCredle's face look pleasant when the Beavers are six runs behind in the first inning we're strong for the recipe. There would be no ob ject after this for a man to carry around a last year's face. It Isn't right. Especially where one can get a hand-painted, crafts-house, painless face in its place for little or nothing. WHILE the baseball commission is threshing out the Fogel row, why not throw the ink pot at pseudo nuEillsts. Charley Schmidt, of Detroit, and Larry McLean, of Cincinnati? Ever since Hek was a youthful canine these two big leaguers have been contem plating six-ounce glove harl karl. For three years they have been wasting space that might better have been ap plied tothewjutetojKmers.

HALL director of athlet ics and track coach at the Uni versity of Washington, is a dangerous demagogue. With such stolid Teutons as John Schrank in the solitary house some body should keep a weather optic on the estimable Dee See. Listen to the scandal: Oregon has been professional ln sportsman is now wearing his face In a sling. Kerosene is not advertised as a fire klndler, but it Is often a very pleasant help to the doctor in time of trouble. J i ! . : A SALT LAKE deer hunter flung himself into camp the other day. fagged out. after, at 10-mlle hike.

Bill Hayward has been inducing athletes from . all over the Northwest to go' to the ' University of Oregon, and has been promising them free board at the training table' If they would turn out for football and track. If this is -not professional,- then what is?" ..... Even: a wise' man, -when he has not much, else to do. will sometimes stir up a wasp's nest for amusement Just to see if: he can do it and avoid being stepped on by the intelligent little ani mal. That's the way to be' neighborly. The pale creature called Intellect is a curious animal. Keep it up, doctor. The bunk amuses us. ' Such stuff from the whitewashed shores of historic Lake Washington is humorous. As a matter of record, athletes at the University of Oregon training table pay for their grub at the same rate charged by the fraternity houses, which is $4 per week, we believe. When the I dispute arose a few weeks ago over the propriety of the special table for athletes. President Campbell, of Oregon, telegraphed East to Walter Camp, of Yale: to Harvard University, and to tne University of Michigan. He found that all three of these big institutions con duct training tables under the Bame condition In vogue now at Eugene. Professionalism? . Huh! Old stuff, Doc, old stuff.. . Louis Sullivan, architect, who de signed the transportation building at the St. Louis Fair,, once said: "Man creates In the Image of his thoughts." What will Dr. Hall think next?

Some Parisian Dr. Hall went' off half cocked a fortnight ago, charging us with attempting to pro fessionalize the 1916 Olypralc games. The absinthe, assimilator gracefully tingled his trusty typewriter, lisped with lying lips that America had bought up Hannes Kolehmainen, the great Finnish runner, hero of the 1912 Stockholm Olympiad, for the German games four years hence, patted th, canard on the can and sent it rever berating over the kindly old earth. PORTLAND boasts of one cricket club, but the game is little under stood except among Britons here.

O'Neill Wuad LET all Portland fandom unite today to congratulate one Sylvanus V. Gregg, some' pitcher. The great left hand pitcher of the .Cleveland Naps, who twirled Portland to a pennant in the Coast League In 1910, was born In Chehalls, Wash., October 27, 1887. He celebrates his 25th birthday today odd ly enough.' the 'remorseful day when the Coast circuit closes Its 1C12 schedule with Portland down In fourth position bemoaning the lack of a Gregg or a Steen. Old ' Father time swings a curious lariat. Three or four years ago "Rube" Gregg, a Lewlston plasterer, pitched In the Spokane City League. John Cohn, of Spokane, signed him up In 1909 and he laid down the trowel for baseball. Gregg cut about as much figure in the baseball world then as thebuttons on the sleeves or a coat, ne lose a ma jority of his games at Spokane, but a Cleveland, scout liked his crooks and plunked down 4000 round dollars for his release. Doubtful If he had had enough ex-' perlence to play In the big show and dissatisfied with the salary offered, he declined to report to the Naps in 1910 and was sent to Portland for trial. Did he make good? No, he Just helped that diminutive little tJene Krapp to pitch the Beavers to a pennant with a team behind him that couldn't hit hard enough to crack eggshells. Cleveland recalled him last year and his work tho nan two seasons gives him a rat ing among the greatest left-handers in the world. Once again, a tiger to the sign of the opal. ' HIGH SCHOOL football players, as a general run, are too busy learn ing the rudiments of the gridiron sport to absorb extra portions of detail. Some misconceptions held by the youngsters are appalling. Perhaps not more than two boys In ten know when a ball kicked across the goal line is dead and when not. The rules say the ball shall be de clared dead by the referee when a kicked ball (except at klckoff or free kick) strikes tho goal post or bar or goes over the line before being touched by a player of either side. Yet in that one essential detail hardly a player In the local lnterscholastlc league Is alive to the situation. Some day the fullback or halfback who has retrieved the ball booted across the goal line on kiclcoff is go ing to walk slowly up to the goal and then, with the kickers dreaming of touchbacks, algebra and Cicero, sud denly dash to the other end of the field for a touchdown. The ball is not de clared dead unless the defenders s signify by touching It down, plainly, to the soil. Again, in the lnterscholastlc gamoi which the writer . has refereed this Fall, there has been a. tendency on the part of both teams to stop when tli umpire toots his horn for a foul. As In the first case, the ball is not deml until the referee blows his whlstie. The foul may be declined by the of fensive team If committed by the de fense. In that case lethargy and Ig norance of the rules might easily bo the cauBe of a touchdown or two. A little blue-covered book was re cently Issued back In the Intellectual East, covering some .of these points. The species Is not quite extinct, anil some night after the nurse has care fully tiptoed out of the room and close, I the door. It might be a grod idea to bring out the fudge, pass the fruit, and. Just for the novelty of It. take a squint into the mysteries inside thosu blue covers. The name of this "Worft Seller" Is "New Foothball Rules for 1912," by Walt Camp. JAMES J. JEFFRIES, the ' "shaggy brute of the Rockies,", who went deep into the abys3 'of oblivion before the Golden Grin at Keno on July 4, 1910, Is reported to have organized his, family at Los Angeles Into a corpora tion to manage his mother's estate. If we remember aright It was Jeffries failure to get rid of a corporation that plunked him in with the useless things of life a little over two years ago.

Oct. 26. (Special.) The trout season on the Klickitat River now near a close Is one of the most noted seasons In Klick itat history since it was won over from the Red man. For the- first time, this season has witnessed the - "Globe trotter" casting hook into the Klicki tat River. A visit of 20 modern Elks from that many different states was a ohronicle of the year. To Fred S. Penfleld. a Port land business man, seems to have fallen the lot to carry away the prize or medal in the "fishing game" on the Klickitat in 1912 in the record catch of a Rainbow trout that meas ured In length 21 Inches and weighed eight- pounds and a fraction. Half dozen fishermen who witnessed Penfleld's catch In placing the mon strous trout on the bank, unite In say ing they never saw the equal of the fight that was made by the fish and for the first time were impressed that the lucky fisherman possessed cool headed traits of a great army general. The story of young Arthur Llnd reads differently. Mr. Llnd. formerly of Chi cago, now connected with a promi nent Portland bank, saw the Penfield catch. After a ride of three hours and a half by rail he was at Maddocks on the Klickitat and at different timet he hooked three big trout, the largest three feet long, but In no Instance could he get them to shore, though an expert might have landed them.

Soccer football receives Its official start this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock on the Columbus Club field, Williams av enue, when the Nationals, the cham pions of the Portland Soccer League last season, meet the Cricketers. The latter have almost an entirely differ ent lineup from that of last season in any case, and are additionally unfor tunate In that they will be minus the services of three star players, among them Mackie. the all-star fullback, who Is out of the game with a broken rib. Sammons, too. has been unable to practice at all as the result of a bad foot, so that prospects of lowering the colors of the champions in the first match are not exactly bright.

O'Nell VIEWS OF TEAMS GIVEN Portland Contractor Deems Walter Johnson and Jeff Tesreaa Greatest Pitchers and Murphy ' Best Outfielder. "Hans' Wagner, .the - greatest ball player; Walter Johnson and Jeff Tes reau, the premier pitchers, and "Red" Murray, the best outfielder In the major leagues. Is the three-cornered opinion of C H. Leadbetter, Portland contrac tor, who recently returned from a two months' trip to Chicago, on the merits of individual baseball players of the National and . American leagues. ' . "For 25 years I considered Jerry Denny, of the old Baltimore and Provi dence teams, the greatest player I ever saw," continued the man who .saw every major league club in action in the Windy City, "but after watching Hans Wagner I have been forced to acknowledge that the Pittsburg short stop Is the peer of Jerry. . . .. Wagrner Like . Denny. . . "The Wagner of today,' granting that he has 'gone back' several notches. Is I a dead ringer for Third Baseman Denny of -26 years ago. The same grace in fielding, ability to hit In the pinches and disconcerting daring on the bases In emergencies, is noted in both men., "Cobb. Speaker, Jackson and Milan are great outfielders, but from my ob servation I cannot help but pick Red Murray, of the New York Giants, as the best of them all. On two successive days at Chicago- I saw Murray make four of the greatest catches In my ex perience as a spectator of professional baseball. He ran far back to the crowd. which lined the field during the Cub- Giant series, leaped high In the -air and fell upon the spectators, emerging each time with the ball firmly grasped In his hands. The wonder of it was that none of his teammates considered the plays out of the ordinary for their star. "It was my good fortune to. see every pitching star In both leagues in action at Chicago. ' The day Walter Johnson pitched he was touched up for 14 hits. PATTERSON BROTHERS MAKE GREAT RECORD WITH ALBANY r ATHLETICS. but he looked like the -class of the topnotchers to me, with Jeff Tesreau, the Giant - spltball ' pitcher, the next best." "I don't think that Joe Wood, the Boston speed artist, . will last long. He depends too much on his speed for suc cess, and it does not seem possible that he can depend oh that-alone for many seasons. :. - - - "The Giants looked like the best club in either league to, me, and I picked them to win the world's series. I also picked the Cubs to beat the Sox in the Chicago city series, but lost out in both places. , ' "Next to the Giants, Pittsburg was strongest, and with, an even break m baseball luck the Pirates should win the 1S13 National League pennant. "Contrary to the general belief, the Giants are the most gentlemanly play ers I came In contact with. Marquard has a bad case of swell bead, but he will get over It in time.. - Playing Nearly mm Good Here. "The playing Is not much better In the major leagues than It Is out here. There Is little difference In fielding and pitching, but you will And. more stars up there. Then, too, the major leagues are composed of the nervy, players, Many minors have the ability but lack the nerve to stick In the majors. "I saw Byron Houck, the Portland boy, pitch a great game against the. White Sox: watched Bodle rap out a couple of pinch hits, and had a long talk with Tommy Seaton. Beaton la full of confidence that he will have a great season next year.

Oct. 26.--(SpeclaJ,lT Willlam J. - Patterson, pitcher a fiio Albany Athletics, established the, re markable record, during the past son, of pitching three- shut-out games and one no-hit game. - The Athletics won " 18 - out. of 22 games 'played with the leading semi-professional teams of Portland and Western Oregon cities, and Patterson pitched a .majority - of them. He deserved a record, of four shutouts, for in the game-in which not a single hit was secured off his deliv- ' - .- i ' ery Albany's opponents scored two runs on errors; Patterson not only estab lished this remarkaole record as a pitcher, but. he made a batting average of .348 during the. season. . . -- Dave Patterson, a brother of the pitcher, was- the catcher' of the team. Dave Patterson led the team in hitting, maintaining a batting average of .406 for the season. Many of his hits were for extra bases and he was the leading "clean-up" hitter of the team, knocking out a double or triple at different times during the season when two or th ree men were on bases. Dave Patterson secured three home runs and a single In five times up in one game. Both of the Patterson, boys are employes of the Albany postofflce, both being letter-carriers on city routes. Commercial Squad Starts Flay Next Thursday and Third Organization Prepares to Enter Field. Portland "knights of the lignum vltae," meaning bowlers, are looking forward to the biggest season In the alley history of the city. The league season opens this week, with the City League rolling Its first game Tuesday, the Commercial League Thursday and a third league, not yet organized, to start within a week. The 45-game City League schedule was drafted to permit the players to prepare for the WeBtern Bowling Con gress meet at Vancouver, B. C, late In February. From two to four teams will represent Portland at the annual tourney, which Is scheduled to open about Februury 26. ' The Commercial, or Class B rollers, who have no championship tourney as pirations, will bowl-until April 2, giv ing them 21 weeks of the alley pastime. The third league probably will bowl for 20 weeks. The rules of the Portland bowlers this season provide for a draft scheme, with the bowlers technically divided Into two groups, those rolling under 180 average for 15 games in Class B. or the Commercial League, and those over in Class A. or City circuit. Class A clubs may "farm" one player with a Class B club, a rule convening a team to bowl a man at least once In every four matches necessitating the placing of player with a minor club.. No cash prizes will be awarded this season, the executive committee of the Oregon Bowling Association purchasing suitable prizes for the teams finishing first, second and third In the leagues. All players must be enrolled as mem bers of the state association, and signed up with a team eight days before scheduled matches. j The struggle for the championship in the City League would appear to be between Heath's Archer & Wiggins, Weonas, O'Donnell's Meier & Franks and Kruse's Dwlght-Edwards Company squad. However, the- other three clubs are scouting about for new and strong material and the race will be a keen on for first place- SMOKER PROGRAMME READY Good Boxing and Wrestling Sched uled at Multnomah Club Mat En tertainment ; Spokane Sends Amateur Flstlo Students. Five Interclub events, the biggest programme of headllners ever offered oy Multnomah Club at a boxing and wrestling programme fit the North western league of athletic clubs, will be presented to Portland's mltt-mat followers next Friday night at the opening of the season's series of "smokers." Four bouts Is the number called for by the Pacifio Northwest Association rules, but when Al McNeil, of Colum bus Club, refused to. meet Fred Will iams, the sensational Winged "M" ban tamweight boxer, Spokane agreed to bring St. John, pno of its stellar per formers, to Portland, along with the regulation four athletes. The St John Willlams bout will be one of the best bouts of the evening, as both men rank high in Northweet amateur fistic cir cles. Seven Bouts on Card. The cancellation of the McNeil-Williams number and the addition of the St. John-Williams bout, leaves the card at seven bouts, two wrestling and five boxing. Two of the boxing bouts will be specials. Interest in the 'smoker la divided be tween the matches of Frank Knowlton, lightweight, and Fred Williams, ban tamweight. Knowlton's rapid-fire suc cession of victories In the Northwest tourney last Spring made him a popu lar favorite, while Williams' showing at Pendleton has centered attention on him, as the fans are anxious to know what type of a boxer he is.
