HelenaThompson, pitcher (reigned). Tacoma Fisher, second baseman (re signed). The name of the first player signed for the season of 1903 was announced yester- dav by Manager Igneux, of the Portland Baseball Club. The new man Is PhU Na- . -n, i Vin I aeau. oi iae oiuBuauuuu t"' ",w New York State League. Nadeau is an outfielder, and has a batting average over the .300 mark Just such a hitter, as Mr. "Vigneux says, as Portland wants. Na deau nlaved his first season with the Brat tleboro.

Griffith, in his wider sphere, may have forgotten, but he could scarcely have dropped, from his memory the galaxy of stars to which ho belonged. Of that iralaxy there aro only two prom inent members in the active baseball lino today, and those two are Clark Griffith and George Tebeau. Both are in tho Mid die West, both have risen to the posl tion of m suture r. and both have been emi nontlv successful. Of the others, how many can be found In the list of ball players of today?

With the bleachers he was a nero. He was a twirler. and he was -Impervious to jibes. and so the occupants of the sunboards ac cepted him at his box standing and made him a favorite. Wiggs, the tall individual who operated for Helena at the opening or tne season ln Portland, will not wear a Cleveland uniform, as was expected, says a Helena paper. Word comes that the star pitcher has been granted -a. top salary, but. he WOUIU HUt UUCJJC k uu-. w " t,. mii ed some privileges that the club could not see Its way to accept. It Is said that Cincinnati is now after "Wiggs. and tho big pitcher may affix his signature to a National League contract; Thompson, a twirler. to the sorrow of other teims, has signed a contract with Helena for another vear. Slagel, another gentleman whom his opponents do not like, will also be with the Senators next year. He has not determined yet whether he will sign or not, but his friends have assured the club that he will. R. P. Brown, who played with Helena two years ago, has also been signed. Players reserved are Peeples, Hanlvan, Schmeer and Schaffer. Manager Flannery will probably play hlmself. McCloakey, after his re-election at Butte, started off on a trip to his old home at Louisville. Ky., "Just to visit his folks." Reports which have been received from the Kentucky city show that "Hon- est Jonn eitner nas a very numerous family or there must be a family reunion ln prpgress. "The folks" seem to consist of all the available baseball material In Kentucky, and, judging from the size of the gatherings, McCloskey is going tnrougn tne weedlng-out process. Appar ently he wants the Best, and he also wants the pennant tor another year. Jay Andrews may do better ln Spokane tnan ne aid in xacoma. jav rprtninif im prove tOPe a rauure as a manager In tho City of Destiny. Yet. why? He played his position well, and proved to be one of the iastest third basemen ln the coun try.- He -captained well, and his team went into the cellar list. But Jay was a cap tain only in the field. Off the grounds, did lie nave any control over his men? Jay i thought so. "but many, enthusiasts be- i Heved from the actions or the Tacoma team that It' was time to revive the old question as "to whether the player-man agership was a success. It has proved so In Portland in two years and in Butte in one, but in the majority of cases the. bench manager has been the winner. According to reports, Fisher is the only man who has been signed by the Tacoma team. The two McCarthys have offered their contracts, but they have been de clined by President Baker, who thinks such contracts should be approved by the manager for next year. No manager has yet been selected, but It Is said that Youngmans, of Pennsylvania, Is favor ably mentioned for the place. Anderson and Van Buren did not come back to Portland last week, as they said they would, and where they are now no one knows, except themselves. The last heard from them was that they were hav ing a good time at Hood River, and that they expected to go out on a bear hunt in a day or two. They intended to go down Into the Cascades, and they probably have departed, for several days mall awaits them at the Hood River postofflce. and there has been no request for Its de- I livery U7RACEY MAY MEET WALCOTT.

Tra cey is perfectly willing to meet Walcott, but he names as a condition that tne great colored fighter weigh In at 140 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day of tne contest.

Pacific University Eleven Will "Work Hard This "Week. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. Forest Grove, Nov. . 16. (Special.) The football team has been resting, as there was no game last week. Steady practice has been kept uP and will bo continued this week In preparation for the big games with the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural College. The team will leave Thursday for Eugene, where It will play on tho 21st, It is expected that the re- turn of MllUs to the team will strengthen the play somewhat, and will put a man m. tne bacicneia wno never misses a tackle. The way some of the second team men showed up yesterday gave evi dence of some first-team material in the . . ... , , . , e,ev"r. , Bi , , 2 first game at fullback, he played well, and will have no trouble in filling: a position on the 'varsity next year, unless all signs fall. He kangarooed the line repeatedly, McKenzIe were happy surprises. The 'var- Jty: might well take a lesson from the fierce way in which the scrub eleven plays, and their spirit Is admirable. How ever, the first team should be In good shape by Friday, and put up a good game against Eugene. Drain Normal Wins, 11 to 5. DRAIN, Or., Nov. 16. (Special.) The rnms kstitiun 4h Ttln 2n Wnl and RosebUrgf played here Saturday, was the best game,the Normal team has played this season. The final score, which was n to 5 in favor of Drain, does not by any means tell the storv of the eame. The ball waa in Roseburg's territory near- y the whole time. Roseburg at no time was able to gain through the Normal line, whjle Drain sent her fullback through Roseburg's line for five and 10-yard gains. In the second half, when the score was 5 to 0 ln Drain's favor, the Normal left half broke awav from all Interference and had a clear run for goal, but was tripped on-the 15-yard line by' a dog, the L riPp""& J8JL?L$ i ' . : aDie to make her only touchdown around his end.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 16. (Spe cial.) The Battery B football eleven de feated the team from the North Pacific J Dental College today by a score of 5 to 0. The two teams were evenly matched ana tne game was a nerce one irom start to finish. The soldiers had much the heavier team, but the tooth Pullers out classed them ln team work. Neither side was able to score during the first half, al though the visitors were within a few feet of their opponents' goal line at one time. The tide turned in the second half and after thirteen minutes of play the soldiers naa scored. & touchdown, but failed to kick tne goal. The game ended with the ball ln possession of the soldiers on their own 10-yard line. T. M. Barlow and Lieutenant Quackenbush acted as of ficials. Oregon Second "Team Will Play.

I Nortlrwest Championship Question Still Unsettled Multnomah's Return From Seattle. The race for the Oregon Intercollegiate football championship seems to produce nothing but "dead ' heats," and gridiron cranks are anxious to see something be sides scoreless games. At present, Al bany College. Oregon Agricultural Col lege and the University of Oregon are tied for first Dlace. and several more games may be required to settle the question of superiority. Albany outplayed Oregon In the first scoreless game of the season, but the tables were turned last Saturday, the Eugene. men showing up In better .form. In the Corvallis-Eugene game hon ors were about equally-divided. The log- leal solution of the present situation is, JZ. f,u " 1 , K 1Z:l r.wit i' for Albany to play Oregon Agricultural college, and let the winner taciue tno University eleven. Albany and the Agri cultural College have not met this season, while the Eugene team has played two scoreless games 'with Albany and one with the "Agrlcs." However, the lat ter have refused to meet Albany at all. 3 .1 T . 1 I .... itnealttatl ... ., .. !.,i, v,.

The Multnomah team returned from Se attle -at 8:30 last night, and was greeted with a rousing reception by a crowd of club members at the depot. The men on the team all unite in saying that the game was hard fought from the begin ning, and that they had a fine time on the trin. Captain Charley McDonell was seen at the club last night, and said. It was a f vT w th Mi.lt. rinA nnrn.iniifrnT mitir nil i inn .i 111 l- - . man nott ndftinn. and won because they deserved It. We were treated finely while we were gone, and the students gave us a reception out at the university on the evening after tne game. As to who wen the stars on the earn, I don t know.

Cook outpunted the Washington man every time, and this, no doubt, added in winning the game for, us, If anything did We were better acquainted with the game than were our opponents a fact which gave us the decided advantage several times. Cook hurt his wrist, and some of. the other boys are battered up a little. but, on the whole, we are In good shape, after such a hard contest."

Captain Klrkley, of the Mult- noman team, saia: . "The game yesterday was the hardest I opposition that Multnomah has expert- enced in the last two years, wasnington has a fine team, and I think there is no Tnanksglvlng day. and I feel certain that aouot Dut tnat sno wm ueieui .ruiiuum her team is superior to that of the Uni versity of Oregon. I see no reason why these college teams should not develop strong aggrega tions. Football is a college man's game, ? my h t the lleg pyers We play the University of Oregon In Portland on Thanksgiving day and have a game In sight with the Bellance Athletic Club, of California, for New Year's day. But that Is quite a look ahead. "Washington was outgeneraled.

One of tho most momentous questions that has ever evolved Itself ln the local football world Is how the great place- klcker of the University of Washington team spells his name. At various times. the Seattle papers and correspondents have spelled It ln a multitude of ways. - m" "f. e!roi,", 3nf.d5 nn.TcMoi i fPf6",8',,! e'!eI!f0lPial!; several varieties have appeared ln the same article sometimes. When a man like S 1 makes his name ln the foot ball world, he should always make It the same way, and not skip around from ono style to another. If this should meet his eye, or the eye of anybody else that knows the true Inwardness of the mat ter, correct Information sent to this office would be greatly appreciated. Address "Correct Spelling Editor." Portland Academj-jWlll haveno such a -,n.h ftn th aaJ,r(1nv wltn Hill Military Academy as It had with i inR KnrE nnn i-iiirn ?snr the Portland High School eleven, when It rolled up the score of 52 to' 0.' The Hill team will be better trained and coached than It ever was before, in prep aration for the contest, and It will exert every power to put up a winning game. The Hill players are just as big, have been coached just .as long and play just as good football, and If. they show the same Improvement that they did between the two , former games, they will win when the match comes off. The Medics' and tho Dentals have not lined up against each other yet, but It is to be hoped that before the season closes these two teams will show their prowess. They are both professional schools, and draw students that have had much experi ence on the jrrldlron. The two teams have men that have playecr ln both col lege and club suits, and If they, should conclude to come together -a good, fierce game would be the result. A keen spirit of jealousy exists at the present time, and a game' would be most acceptable to many of the tooth-yankers and sawbones. The dispatch from Pacific University portrays a condition that exists among the f00tball players at many Institutions: The men on the scrub are harder work ers and play with more spirit than their brethren on the 'varsity. The scrub gets battered about by the men on the first team, and is considered as nothing more than a means to secure the end, but when he gets Into a game he plays hard for his college, and shows that all the drub bing that has been expended on him has been turned to good account. The 'var sity men, after they get on the team. think that they are just about right, and that they are superior mortals ln football clothes. The scrub doesn't get a chance often, but when he does he makes the most of It. The 'varsity man gets a whack at every game, and soon begins to think that, no matter how he plays, he Is still a 'varsity man, and will be kept on the team forever. Big Bill Allen, the coach at the Wash ington Agricultural College, has done I ouuic uuiy uq ui nig, uuu, unci uie tun- sumption of much gray matter, has picked a team from the Northwest that he thinks would oe just about rlgnt. i?or a mo ment, however, he seems to have forgot ten that there are other teams In the Northwest besides those ln Washington and Idaho. Mr. Allen's make-up of "Northwest .team" Is published ln the Spokane Chronicle as follows: "For center rush J would certainly pick Jones, of the Washington Agricultural College, on account of his nerve, speedy hcadiness and thorough "knowledge f the game, senjerer, 0r wasnington, ana gett, of Idaho, are almost as good In some ways, but have not the finesse of Jones. "For guards X think Iarson, of Idaho, and Scherer, of Washington, would (be the best, although Corey and Zlebrlt are almost as good. Ayers, of Whitman, would be better than any If he were properly coached and did not use his hands. "For tackle position, Hooker, of the Washington Agricultural College, stands head and shoulders .above any other,-"and, with Smith, of Idaho, would make an Ideal pair of tackles. Jenkins, of Idaho, although a halfback, should be played- as tackle, as he would be best there. Sapp, of the Washington Agricultural College, and Galloway are also good men, and In time will equal the others. "I would make Lasater, of Whitman, and Chittenden, , of Whitman (quarter), the all-star ends. As quarterback. Lash er, of the Washington Agricultural Col lege, Is far above any other quarter .1 have seen play. He is especially good on defense, and is the best field general in the Northwest. As a quarterback, he is In a class by himself, and I think he comperes very favorably with some of thf CoUntrv. . besX In the country. "I would put Spiedell, of Washington, at full, on account of his kicking. I think Brown, of Whitman, a better line plunger and Persons or Longstreet, of the Washington Agricultural College, Is his superior at full, except that there must be a good kicker on an all-star team, and he gets vthe place for that rea- av0v"J . h t " Cox and Lasater, Idaho a good pair In Gill. Cardwell and Longstreet. Cardwell Is the best ground-gainer of all. but I would keep him off on account of his poor defensive work. "Axtel Is too liable to be Injured, and Cox. of Whitman, seems afraid. Wells. of Washington, Is too erratic, so I would I Pick Aa8ater, or. wnuman, as a running halfback and Jenkins, of Idaho, as a plunging halfback. Longstreet and Gill, of the Washington Agricultural College, are nearly as good as either. That line up gives the Washington Agricultural College three men, Whitman three men, Idaho three men and Washington two men. "I would make Lasher captain as quar ter should " be captain, if possible. "The all-star team would line up In the following manner: Jones, W. A. C, cen ter;' Larson, Idaho, guard; Scherer, Wash ington, guard; Smith, Idaho, tackle; Hooper, W. A. C, tackle; Lasater, Whit Las A Spledell.'WashV . . . ... T.nWnc ann hnif- T.n0r.. man, end; Chittenden, Whitman, end; . tt;v-i; . In fullback Don Morrison. Albany Col lege has "one of the beet all-round backs In the Northwest.- Morrison, who is but 19 years of age, certainly saved Albany from defeat at the hands of the Oregon eleven on Saturday. His timely punting would drive the ball away up to 'the cen ter of the field, and after tho fierce rushes of the 'varsity back had carried the leather to the Albany goal line, Mor rison's good right leg would again boost it to the midfield. In Captain Frank Templeton. Albany has another remark- . . . , - A j v. anie niaver. wnne rancia. iub u luau. . . . r.. tacKies iiko a nena rp.he most Important football . game of the season, as far as the Pacific North- west Is concerned, is the annual Thanks giVn& matCh between Multnomah and the University of Oregon. Encouraged by their -tflntnrv over Washington, the local ciUbmen will devote the next ten days to rigid practice and will be in the pink of condition by Thanksgiving day. The ciUD eleven contains anv number or in- rtlii and 'if the team work con tlnues to Improve 'the eleven will be In vulnerable before the season ends. Mult nomah has speed, experience and suf ficient weight to put up a batlo royal Jh t offseason, the other on tne gridiron. Althougn tne team is factors that enter Into the make-up- of a winning eleven are not wanting? and the aggregation, taken as a whole, Is one of the best ever turned out by 'the local club. The Oregon players arc training faithfully for a great contest, and will come to Portland prepared to play the game of their lives. Last season, M. A.

Six of last season's team are again In the harness at Eugene, and Payne, the crack halfback of the best team Oregon ever turned out, Is In the game, after a year's absence. Four freshmen McKln ney, at center; Frlzzell, at guard; Jordan and Chandler, at ends complete the make-up of the 'varsity, while several alternates are doing good work. Ralph S. Fisher, ex-captaln of Stanford, and Reno Hutchinson, ex-manager . of the University of California eleven, will act as officials on Thanksgiving day. Time keepers and linesmen have not yet been selected. SPORTS AT THE Y. M. C. A. Hnesncr and Livingstone Win Finals at Handball. The athletes of the Y. "M. C. A. are liow at their work for the Winter. The classes are filled to .overflowing, and the handball court and the swimming-pool are engaged whenever opportunity offers. Irving Huesner and Harry Livingstone won the finals In the handball tournament, -defeat ing Godfrey and Barrell. . who their friends bad decided would certainly win. The winning games went to the victors by scores of 21-14, 21-11, 21-17. The Helt- kemper and Wright medals will, there fore, be worn by these players until they are defeated ln the next tournament, which will begin the first week In Decem ber. T"he intercollegiate basket-ball schedule for the state Is now being made up. and the association instructor is constantly receiving orders from colleges ln the state for coaches for the teams now being formed. Five such letters have already been received, and the physical director believes that he will soon find capable men to coach the students in the nimble game of basket-ball. AT THE HOTELS.
