BAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 4. Sp?clal.)
After sleeping almost as long as Rip
Vsn Winkle, who was a grandnephew of
Rip Van Haltren. the Ferryboat-chasers
showed signs of awakening today and
got away with both sessions.
The morning meeting was drawn out to
14 Innings when the Oaks came under
the wire by a nose: score 4 to X
In the afternoon game. Silvers Nelson,
of Minnesota, was In the box for the
Commuters snd put some of his natural
foolishness Into his curves. The Beavers
could never rtnd him st home when they
wanted him no matter how hard they
knocked, and lost by J to 6.
The morning game was the spectacular
one and It might have been going on yet
if Frambes. of the Bvers. had not de
velop dropsy In his mitt at a critical
tag I -a Lwr.ge sent one out that was
too much for Mr. Johnson. He was on
his way to second and took thlid when
Frambes Jet go of the ball. Rip Van
Haltren did the rest with a nice little
hit. The scores:

MANAGER DILLON
' TALKS BASEBALL
Veteran Boss of Los Angeles
Team Talks Interestingly
of National Game.
IRISH MAKE BEST PLAYERS
Think Quickly and Act the Same.
Sport Elevated by College Crowd.
Most Players Are Great .
Tobacco-Chewers.
Stars In the baseball -world are
numerous, but, unlike stars In the
theatrtcal world, they have no press
agents. Consequently the public
knows little about the Individual play
ers who provide entertainment for
more people in a day than perhaps a
dozen theatrical stars might provide
In a week.
No one ever heard of a ballplayer
attracting public gaze to himself by
the publication of a -nilk bath story,
as actors and actresses have done, or
by any of the other subtle schemes
and plans by which actors and
actresses get column and page In the
newspapers.
But a ballplayer is an Infinitely more
interesting personage than an actor
and public commendation means Just
as much, or even more, to him. The
difference is that he has never been
taua-ht to seek constant mention as a
source of revenue, and very lew Daa
playtrs would consent to such methods,
even if educated by a Rlngling
brothers Dress agent.
And few actors hava so enthusiastic
a clientele as have many ballplayers;
certainly the clientele of no profes
sion Is quicker to turn from admira
tion to resentment upon the slightest
suspicion of deterioration than Is the
noisy. Jeerlnsr bunch of rooters that
assembles In the bleachers of a ball
park each day. Nor is there a more
caustic, cruel or critical audience than
this same bleachers crowd.
Frank E. Dillon, manager of the Los
Angeles team, which will very prob
ably win the pennant In the Pacific
Coast League this season, interviewed in
Portland recently, said' that there is no
set of given rules in managing a success
ful ball .team.
"I couldn't for the life of me tell
how to run a successful ball team,"
he said. But that same afternoon he
took his team on the field and gave
Portland a drubbing that caused in
tense indignation in the bleachers.
"There are no rules, so far as I
have been able to ascertain. In manag
ing a baseball team that would not ap
ply to the management of any other
business." he said. "In acting as man
ager I do not make out a list of rules
for our players, for each is supposed
to know not only how to play bail,
but how to conduct himself as well."
Dillon Is perhaps as representative
a ballplayer as there is In the league.
He entered the game for sport, then
remained In It as a business. He has
studied the game, the players, other
games, the exponents of other games,
and compared them with the exponents
of the American game of baseball.
"I wouldn't advise any young man
to go Into baseball as a business or
profession," he said, "unless he. was
personally positive that he could make
good. If a man is a ballplayer he
knows It, and he knows pretty well
whether he has the physique and stam
ina to make good. The other chief
requisite is a quick intelligence." -
Mr. Dillon believes that the Irish
make the best players. He has based
bis opinion upon his observation and
acquaintance with players and their
Individual accomplishments. The Irish,
he says, make the best players, as a
rule, because they are quicker think
ers. "1 don't know why they are." he
said, "but from my observation and
acquaintance with them they are.
Perhaps the chief requisite of the game
Is a quick Intelligence. A good phy
sique and constitution are of course
necessary, as are good habits, but a
quick brain is absolutely essential."
Dillon has been in the game for 12
years. He Is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and played with
the university team before entering
the professional game. On his college
team he was a pitcher, though he Is
now regarded as one of the very best
first basemen In the league. He at
tracted considerable attention as a
ballplayer during his college career,
and after his eraduation signed a con
tract with the Rockfort, 111., team, a
member of the Woe tern Association.
"The srame has undoubtedly been
elevated by the college crowd." he said.
"A great many college men have en
tered professional basball and I think
their entrance has elevated not only
the standard of the men themselves,
but the standard of the game. Some
of the finest young fellows I have ever
known are professional ballplayers."
In becoming a ballplayer Mr. Dillon
offers no suggestions to aspiring
youths, but it offers good Inducements,
be fays, from a financial standpoint.
The average beginner will earn per
haps $150 per month, and If he is able
to deliver the goods and shows evi
dences of really making good he will
quickly draw a larger check.
"One hundred and fifty dollars a
month Is the average salary for a be
ginner." Baid Dillon, "and there are
few businesses or professions that of
fer the same chances."
The average age of a ballplayer, aev
cording to the Los Angeles manager.
Is from 19 to 35 or 36. A majority of
the men are married and their wives
accompany them on their trips. Play
ers who quit the game either because
of age or other reasons, usually find
good positions, and those who have
been thrifty enough to save their earn
ings usually start in business for
themselves. As a rule, they are suc
cessful and in certain Instances have
been eminently so.
The Los Angeles team is under the
management of Dillon, who Is captain
and also first baseman. The pitching
staff is composed of Gray, Nag-el, Hosp,
Koestner and Briswalter. Hogan and
Easterly do the catching.
Other members of this likely pennant-winning
aggregation are: C.
Bernard, second baseman: J. Smith,
third baseman; B. Delmas. shortstop;
M. Brashear. right fielder; K. Oakes,
center field: and G. Ellis, left field.
Gum-chewing is popular with many
ballplayers, though tobacco-chewing is
more so. Tobacco chewing is espe
cially popular during the progress of a
game. It la because of the nervous
strain on a player, it is said, that these
two customs are popular and many
players who do not use tobacco ac
quire the habit for that reason.
The Los Angeles team is mada up of
a bunch of husky, gentlemanly lads who
are deeply interested in the game and
study it Just as they play It. There is no
four-flushing, for it would have been de
tected long ago and Its exhibitor would .
not now be a member of the team which
will probably carry off the prise this
season. Grandstand plays or plays in
tended merely to get a hand from the
grandstand are never contemplated,
though It Is probable that many of the
Players would rather be successful in a
spectacular play' than successful in an
ordinary one.
"The attitude of the public towards a
player has a great deal to do with his
efficiency. said one of the players.
"Like an actor, he loves commenda
tion and appreciates it when the public
shows him that his work is appreciated.
I don't believe there is a single' player in
the league who would deliberately throw
down his club, but there are many or
them who. when he is in a bad humor
or Imagines he is getting the worst of
it, can't put up the kind of play of whlcn
he is capable. If a man Is enthusiastic
or confident he will play better ball
and that Is true of a team collectively
Just as It Is true of a single individual
player.
"Let a team go to the bad in a single
inning and let the other team score a
few runs, and Invariably the chances of
success are in favor of the other team.
They get confidence at once, and that
confidence inspires them to greater snort,
while the other team not only loses the
sympathy of the crowd, but loses its
own confidence."
Manager Dillon declares that it would
be Impossible to establish and carry out
a set of rules in managing a team. The
men themselves are responsible for their
own conduct, and If their conduct were
not what it should be its effect would
soon be evident from their playing. Con
trary to popular impression there is little
inebriety and little of the bon vivant
good fellowship In a modern baseball
team. The work Is exacting and a player
who spends a portion of the night In
revelry is not the player whose nerves
and brains are steady on the following
day. And to be a member of a pennant-
winning team he must have both brains
and nerves at all times. A single relapse
might cause a change in the ultimate
result of the team's record.
"I don't know whether or not my men
drink," said Manager Dillon, "that is,
I make no official investigation and
make no effort to keep track of them. I
am pretty sure, however, that there la
very little drinking in our crowd, for
they play ball too well. If they were
suffering with a bitter case of remorso
or shaky nerves, they would'nt be able to
put up the kind of game they do."
AMERICAN FINISH CLOSE
CHICAGO BEATS DETROIT IX
OXE-HIT GAME.
Race for Pennant Becomes Exciting
Contest Among Three Cities.
Monster Crowd at Game.
CHICAGO, Oct. 4. Chicago defeated
Detroit 3 to 1 in the opening game of the
final series here today, making it Just
possible for the local team to win the
American League pennant. To do this,
however, Chicago must win the two re
maining games with Detroit, while Cleve
land loses one with St. Louis.
By reason of the Cleveland-St. Louis
tie today the teams will have three
games to play. By winning all of them
Cleveland would get the pennant, pro
vided Detroit loses another game to Chi
cago. By winning one of the remaining
two games from Chicago, Detroit will
win, if Cleveland drops two games to
St. Louis. The outcome of today's game,
therefore, makes the finish of the Amer
ican League race narrower, and more
exciting than ever.
President Comlskey said hat the at
tendance of today's game was the larg
est which had ever been within the South
Side grounds. Today's -victory for Chi
cago was remarkable, in that Chicago
scored all of her three runs in the first
inning without even the semblance of a
hit. In fact, Chicago made but one hit
during the game. Ground rules were es
tablished, making a hit into the crowd
good for two bases, but the scant hitting
did not require Its application.
The game was a pitchers' battle be
tween White, of Chicago, and Killlan,
of Detroit, who let the victors down with
one hit, but loet the game as a result
of bases on balls and errors behind him.
Chicago acored three runs in the open
ing inning without the semblance of a
hit. Hahn drew four balls. F. Jones at
tempted to sacrifice, laying the ball a
few feet in front of the plate. Schmidt
got the ball and threw to Bush, but the
shortstop was too far from second base
to catch Hahn and both runners were
safe. Isbell advanced both runners on
his sacrifice, going out to . Rossman un
assisted. Dougherty hit a hot one to
Downs, but Rossman dropped the throw
and Dougherty was safe, while Hahn
scored. Dougherty then stole second
base. Davis sent a high fly to Mclntyre
and Jones scored, while Dougherty went
to third. Parent walked and on a dou
ble steal Dougherty scored. Killlan then
tightened up and was given fine support
when men were on bases.
Chicago's lone hit came In the fourth
inning, when Parent led oft with a single
to left, but was forced out at second.
White was hit for five safe drives, but
only one hit figured in the scoring. Craw
ford started the ninth for Detroit by ac
cepting a base on balls. Cobb went out.
White to Isbell. and Crawford went to
second. Rossman hit a line drive which
which was a couple of feet over Isbell's
head, but the first baseman Jumped and
caught It, holding Crawford at second.
Schaefer came to bat and, after making
a horseshoe in the dust around the
plate, hit a swift drive into right field
and Crawford scored. Mullln batted for
Schmidt and was hit, D. Jones running
for him. A double steal advanced the
runners a base, but Downs filed to
Parent, who ran Into the crowd, and the
game was over. Score:

PASTOR CHOSEN ON JURY
Dr. Foulkes Will Kscape Through
Law's Provision.
Although served with a subpena to
serve on the October Circuit Court Jury,
Dr. William Hiram Foulkes said laet
night that he does not Intend to serve.
He accompanied this remark with the
statement that the Oregon code ex
empts ministers of the Gospel from
serving on Juries, as funerals and wed
ding calls might interfere with their
duties.
The jury subpena was served on Dr.
Foulkes by Deputy 6heriff Constable,
after the minister's name had been
taken, with a number of others, from
the tax roil.
Section 966 of the Oregon code says
that "A person is exempt from liability
to act as a juror if he be a
minister of the Gospel or a priest of
any denomination." This section also
exempts Judicial officers, attorneys,
teachers, physicians, officers, musicians
or privates In the Army or Navy, fire
men, acting ferrymen and millers.

ants will simply be accorded a tie with
the Windy City contingent. This is on
condition that the decision goes against
New York in the contested tie game
which was thrown away because of the
stupidity of McGraw's young player who
failed to touch second base with the win
nlng run, scoring from third on a hit to
left field. This miscue on the part of
the player, Merkle, Is likely to cost New
York the pennant, for the game, which
broke up In a riot! was played on the New
York grounds and would have been for
feited to Chicago had strict baseball rules
been followed. President Pulllsm, of the
National League, is to decide the protests
of both New York and Chicago today.
He can hardly rule any other way than
in favor of Chicago, and in so doing he
will simply pass in favor of a club which
displayed the better knowledge of base
ball on the day the dispute arose.
New York should have won the game.
There is no question about that, but
dumb plays have often put good teams
out of the running in a close race, and
this play of Merkle is no exception. It
was simply Chicago's alertness and quick
forethought that took an apparently lost
contest out of the fire and . made it, at
least for the time being, a drawn battle
Instead of a defeat. Merkle should have,
continued on to second, as would any
bush league player In the world, and this
game would have gone to New York and
settled all question as to the National
League championship. Thus it can be
seen how the most trivial mistake of a
single player Is capable of robbing not
only himself and his team-mates, but
also the club owners, of thousands of dol
lars, for were New York to play off the
world's championship with the winner of
the American League, the individual re
ceipts of each player would equal a fairly
respectable salary for a year.
New York can hardly expect to win all
three games from Boston, In view of the
rivalry existing between the clubs
through personal disputes arising out or
the famous trade last Winter. The ex
New York players, McGann, Bowerman,
Browne, Dahlen and Ferguson, who were
traded by McGraw for Tenney, Bridwell
and Needham, have not forgotten some of
the mean things the Giants' leader has
said about them, and are decidedly anx
ious to put him down and out. There
fore Boston can be expected to play the
hardest kind of a game against New York
this afternoon. Some stirring times can
be expected on the Polo grounds during
the next two days.
In the American League the situation is
practically unchanged. Detroit, though
defeated yesterday, still retains tne lesa
by 5 points over Cleveland, which club
remained at a standstill because oi a
drawn battle with St. Louis. Chicago's
victory makes it possible for Fielder
Jones' bunch to win in the event that
they can defeat the leaders this afternoon
and tomorrow. At the same time Cleve
land must drop two games of the three
to St. Louis. In the event that the Cleve
land bunch should win all three games,
and Detroit only win one of the next
two from Chicago, Cleveland would be
the American champion by two points.
Should Detroit win two and Cleveland
three, the world's series would again be
played off In Tigertown.
CALEDONIANS M VICTORS
YVIX OVER CRESCENTS IX
SOCCER GAME.
Lack of Team Work Proves Un
doing of Vanquished.
Score Is 5-4.
With the Crescents pressing them
hard for a tie, the Albina Caledonians
emerged victors from yesterday after
noon's league soccer game at the base
ball grounds, the whistle blowing a
few seconds after the Crescents scored
their fourth goal. The score was 5 to 4.
Vigor was more a characteristic of
the game than that ne plus ultra of
association football combination. The
Crescenta were entirely new to one an
other, many of the men having been
introduced on the field so naturally
lacked any semblance of team play.
Several likely ones appeared, however,
in this hitherto untried material. The

Of the newcomers among the Cres
cents, McKinley was the shining light.
It developed after he began playing
that he was a halfback last year on the
Seattle Rangers, and his capacity was
shown by the scoring of the first three
of the Crescents' four goals; In fact, he
seemed the only Crescent forward who
could beat McNtcholas, the Albina
goalie. The Crescents' last goal was
made by Bell, who played last year
with Tacoma, and who passed through
neatly with his head a long, low, free
kick. Other new men on the Crescents
who played well were Art Mills, Mc
Cafferty and Coleman.
The Caledonians are a rough-and-ready
lot, with a nifty defense and a
forward line whose best man Is Ned
Stevenson, once a Scottish senior
leaguer. He scored two of the five
goals, P. 'McNlcholas two and White
sides getting the other.
