From Angels.
Ily the Associated Press
Two mighty home run drives In
the eighth Inning gave Portland Its
first Pacific Coast championship In
18 years and a fourth straight victory
over Seattle on the Ducks' home dia
mond Friday night, 11 to 10.
With but three more gomes to
play, the second-place Hollywood
Stars, four full games behind, have
no chance of overliaullng the leaders.
Trailing by one run when tho
eighth Inning began, tho Ducks ral
lied like the champions they aro to
crack out two circuit clouts In suc
cession and taJto a load the Indians
could not overcomo In the remaining
Inning. Hlgglns and Johnson, in
turn, lofted tho ball over tho right
field fence, to climax a wild ball gamo
In which the lead changed several
times. Tho Indians were credited
with 17 hltn and the Ducks with 111.
Hturs Win Two
Regaining their winning stride too
late to threaten Portland's lead, the
Blare trounced the Angels at Los
Angeles twice Friday night. 16 to 4
and 6 to 1. Behind Hhellenbock's
a-hlt pitching In the first game, Hol
lywood was never in danger, touching
threo Angel towers for 10 safeties.
Sheehan turned In an oven better
mound performance for tho Stars In
the second game, allowing the Lell
velt men only 4 hits.
Sacramento won both halves of a
Friday night twin bill at Oakland 17
to 0 and 3 to 2. Though pouiullrut
out Just as many hits as the Senators
In the opener 10 the Oaks couldn't
convert thorn Into onough runs to
win. Four Oakland errors contrib
uted to the Sacramento victory. Salvo,
of the Senators, had the bettor of a
f inching duol with Fleber In tho 7
nnlng nightcap. I
Tho Seata finally turnod on tho
last-place Missions after losing threo
In a row to them and took the fourth '
game of tho series 6 to 4 at San 1
Francisco Friday afternoon. The game
was a fairly even affair throughout,
with the Seals scoring four runs In
tho tMrd Inning and one in the sov-
enth. Three Mission tames camo in
tho fourth and another in tho eighth.

weighing their opponents twelve
pounds to the man, the Oregon State
college football elovon waa ready for
Its struggle with the Stanford uni
versity teum at the Civic stadium here
this afternoon In the first Coast con
ference game for either school.
The men from Palo Alto, despite
their weight disadvantage, ruled as
slight favorites today, the chief rea
sons being the fact that Oregon State
has never defeated or even tied them
and the statement of Coach "Pop"
Warner that the team he will pre
sent today Is tho fastese he has ever
directed.
Coach Paul Sch Dialer frankly ad
mitted thut ho considers today's game
tho crucial one of tho season for his
teams and that tho Orangemen are
pointed for the affray. He said, .Jfte
will use the Notre Dump system for
tho basis of his attack, having a fast
backflcld reserve to supplement the
power lineup with which he Is start

(Associated Preas Sports Editor)
The Philadelphia Athletics showed
no disposition to use half-way meas
ures In removing themselves this
year from tho peiuuint picture and
tho world series scramble.
Not only did the club that finished
something like 13 games In front
last year skid so far as to wind up
about a dozen ganu's behind the Yan
kees this season, but Lofty Grove
conceded tho year's pitching honors
to younger rivals and Al Simmons, tho
cole bra tod Polish slugger, yielded the
batting crown ho luis worn for two
straight years. .
True. Jimmle Poxx moved up
around tho top of the batting class
and won tho home run honors by
r. wide margin with tho best per
formance of his career, but other
wise tho Mack occs did not distin
guish themselves. ;. .
No pitcher who wins 35 games or
more, as Grove did, can be con
sidered "through", even though ten
defeats show on his record. This
Is short of the great southpaw's
I tin 1 record of 31 victories against
only four; defeats, but the A's
ciiances of making It four pennants
In a row would have been bright,
indeed, lf George Earnslmw, Rube
Walberg and Roy Muhaffey liad
shown tho same effectiveness as Rob
ert Moses Grove.
Somewhere tho A's lost quite 'a
bit of tho championship fire that
burned so brightly for them through
tho ltuu-:iu-;u campaigns. , .
Earnshaw acted as though he mis
still brooding this season over the
html -luck dc fonts he sustained nt
the hands of tho Cardinals. Sim
mons and Cochrane- failed to deliver
as otteu as usual at the plate. The
combination of Uiomo factors, plus
tho great early rush of the Yankees,,
proved too much for Mr. Mpick's
machine. It bogged down with too
much weight for age.
FINISHING FAST '
The return or Frank J. (Lefty)
O'lXml to tho National league batting
heights Is as conspicuous a feature
of the ItKt'J bom1 bull season as the
downfall of Simmons.
O'Doul luut an unusually slow start,
oven though ho seldom Is a "spring
hitter." At one time he was at the
very bottom, of the Brooklyn club's
regulars In batting, but even tlteu i
he made the renmrk that lie was j
bound to get started nnd that when

IDAHO TEAM 6-0
First Conference Football
Game of Fall Season
Played Last Night.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1 A For the
first time In the history of the Insti
tution, the University of California
at Los Angeles today found Itself
leading the Pacific Coast conference
football standings.
The Bruins Inaugurated conference
play with a hard fought 0 to 0 vic
tory over the University of Idaho In
the Olympic stadium last night, Not
until Oct. 15, when they play tho
University of Oregon, can the Brutus
bo forced out of their leadership.
Displaying remarkable defensive
strength, the Bruins kept the Van
dals from getting within their 34-yard
line. The Bruins were In position to
score several times but Joo Keeble, a
hard driving fullback, seem&d to be
tho only player on tho field who
could keop his feet. It was Keeble
who crossed the Vandal line for the
only score.
Field Hllppcry
Tho turfed field was made slippery
by rain which kept the crowd down
to about 10,000 persons. The game,
however, was not a financial loss as
tho Bruins collected .$5000 In rain
Insurance.
Tho Bruins got their scoro early In
tho second quarter, a 20-yard pass
from Mlko Frankovlch to Bill Max
well putting them on Idaho's 23-yard
line.. Keeble gained seven yards on
tho first play thereafter, added two
moro on tho next, and thon, tltrough
a big hole over left tackle, crossed the
goal lino standing up.
he did they had better clear the
track.
Down tho stretch old man O'Doul 'a
boy certainly hit up a terrific puce.
Tliere Is no more determined bats
man In baseball, nor a moro danger
ous one than Lefty when he "feels"
his hits. Ife takes excellent care of
himself and carries a keen competi
tive spirit.
