BT U J. , .
In reviewing: the past season in. the
r.rammar School Loapue, there are sev
eral brljrht spots which have been no
ticeable to those tollowlnfr the tsport of
-the voutiRsters on the Rridirnn. Rob
ert Krohn. physical Instructor of the
public schools, deserves the greatest
of praise for his management of the
league and for the fair and Impartial
decisions he has given In the few in
stances "when it was necessary to have
arbitrary action taken on points that
have arisen. The enthusiasm shown
by the entire student body from the
schools and the interest taken gener
ally by followers of football in the
games playeii by the little tots have
wrved to stimulate an interest and ri
valry in the different divisions that
have worked for the betterment of the
gam among the different teams and
given the players an incentive to prac
tice and perfect team play.
Some of the teams that have been
turned out have been a marvel and a
wonder to onlookers, and it is easy to
look ahead a few years and see these
little tots on high school and varsity
teams playing better, football than
hey would have been capable of with
out the benefit of this earlier train
ing. The good to football and to the
characters of the players can only be
Imagined now. but In a few years,
when they have matured, got Into col
leges and later Into business, the re
sults of putting the little fellows to
the test early in life will be fully
realized.
Already some good may be seen from
the games in that. In most Instances,
they have tended to bring the boys
and their teachers nearer to each other.
This is especially true where the prin
cipal and the teachers have taken an
Interest in their teams and done the
coaching for them.
Improvement ProbaMe xt Tear.
A second year of grammar school
football should see the league more
evenly balanced in the divisions into
which the teams are placed. In one
or two Instances this year teams have
been placed in the light divisions when
they have properly belonged in the
heavier section. Another year will
see this fault remedied and the result
will be a keen rivalry between all the
teams with each having an equal show
as to weight and the results based on
the caliber of the playeres combined
with team plas'.
Holladay has won the championship
of the heavie section, and with it the
championship of the city, as no team
1n the lighter division cares to chal
lenge Holladay. The school will have
its name engraved on the Stephens cup
, and will hold possession of the trophy
for one year. It must be won twice
hi the same team to become its per
manent possession.
Much of Holladay's success through
out the season has been due to the
coaching and Interest taken in the
boys by Principal Jenkins. Holladay
is undoubtedly without an equal
among the schools and has gone
through the season without a defeat.
Sunnyside ranked second in the heav
ier division, but it is doubtful if it
could have beaten some of the light
weight teams.
lrvington and Stevens are tied in the
lightweight section, and unless Shat
tuck succeeds In defeating lrvington
this afternoon on Multnomah Field,
which is not likely, the two teams will
end the season tied. Three games have
been played between them and each
has resulted in a tie. so it was decided
not to have the' two teams play again
together. The game today between
lrvington and Shattuck will end the
season.
Of all trte team In the lightweight sec
tion lrvington undoubtedly has the speed
iest aggregation, and Holladay, with Its
-r eight, would be the one team in the
league to give it a tussle for honors.
Stephens outweighs lrvington, but for
team play and pluck Is not in it with its
lighter antagonist. Several players on
the Stephens team have been the main
stay of the eleven. Of this number.
Flllott is at the head, for he has been
the best ground gainer on, the team and
one of the best players on the defense.
McLynn and Morrow each .have starred
throughout the season and Je Temple
has also played good ball. lrvington
has had star players as well. Kirkland.
at half back, Maglus. at the other half,
and Weaver, at tackle and for punting,
have each done more than their share In
putting lrvington where It Is in the
league.
All-Star Kieven lfard to Mek.
Tt Is Impossible to pick correctly an
All-star eleven from the league, as the
writer has not seen all of the teams In
action, but the following players prob
ably would hold down positions on such
a team if it could be properly deter
mined: Klliott. of the Stephens team, and
Kirkland, -of lrvington, for the halfback
positions, with Wilson, of Brooklyn, and
Magi u.i. of lrvington," for second choice;
t ampion, of Holladay for fullback, .with
McLynn, for second cfioice. The quarter
back position ie the hardest of them all
to nil properly, as Morrow, of Stephens,
and McAiien, of Hawthorne, are about
evenly matched for cleverness. The
writer would select the former on ac
count of hie coolness and rapidity in se
lecting plays and his better Judgment In
running back punts.
Mr-Clung, of lrvington, and Holllster,
of Williams avenue, are undoubtedly the
two best end men. The latter is light,
but has shown a good knowledge of the
PHme. and is a clever tackier. Weaver,
of lrvington, and Xoulin. of Sunnyside,
aro the best tackles seen in the game
and the former would be valuable to any
team on account of his punting. The two
Holladay guards, McMurray and C. Has
tings. it-It h Huntej-, of Sunnyside, for
center, would be the writer's choice for
the three men In the center of the line.
The game this afternoon at Multnomah
Field is scheduled to start at 1:30.

Athletic Relations.
SKATTLE. Wash., Dec. I. (Special.)
It Is altogether probable that athletic re
lations between the University of Wash
ington and the Washington State Col
lege will be severed as a result of the
latter institution's alleged unethical
methods. Such will certainly be the case
if Dean Miller Roberts, of the School of
Mines, who is chairman of the faculty
athletic committee, and Registrar rl. T
Condon have their way. Both are out
spoken in their criticism of the Pullman
institution.
Relations between the two colleges.
have never been pleasant, for the Univer
sity men contend that Washington State
has often blayed Ineliglbles. No sooner
had matters been smoothed out. say the
University men, than Pullman was up
to her old tricks again. The climax came
after Deaner. the tackle, and Bryan, run
back, had played against Washington In
the annual football game this year
Then the Pullman faculty declared that
the men were ineligible and that they
were known to be Ineligible before the
earn. - The board of control of the Uni
versity generally feels that relations
should be severed. s

the Multnomah 'Club and claimant of
the welter-weight championship of the
Coast, at Portland tomorrow night.
Ilelnrlch has been training faithfully
and looks fit for the contest. He is not
down to the weight agreed upon, 190
pounds, although he: refused to give out
his avoirdupois before he left. He said
he was close to the mark, but he looked
to weigh about 170. Heinrich has wres
tled around 170 pounds for the past year
and a half, so It is practically impossible
for him to make ISO pounds. He had the
hardest kind of work making 158 pounds

years ago.

The advance sale of seats Indicates that
fully as large a crowd will be on hand

Fandom at Random
BY W. J. PET RAIN.
Portland fans will soon have an op
portunity of seeing Joe Tinker on the
stage. The famous Chicago Cub short
stop, who played third base for Portland
In 1901, will appear In a comedy sketch
that will play in a local vaudeville house.
Mlquel Angellque Fisher, the present
pilot of the Oriental excursionists is
noted for his proclivity at forming an at
tachment for coin of the realm, and
Pearl Casey relates a tale wherein Mike
nearly collapsed from heart failure. It
happened just after Mike had severed
relations with George Schreeder, of Ta
coma and had taken his team to Fresno.
One day, shortly after his arrival at
Fresno. Mike received a telegram marked
"collect" and the charges amounted to $2.
Mike thinking It a response from some
baseball players accepted service and
opened the message which was as fol
lows: "Can you recommend to me an
honest grounukeeper," Signed George M.
9chreeder. The way Mike tore his hair
and uttered unintelligible ejaculations In
dicated his chagrin.
Manager McCredie has secured a pitcher
for next season who bears the euphonious
title of Spoonmore. Now if the Portland
magnate would only get Ray Lovett
back, the baseball park should become a
most popular place for the fair ones.
Lovett and Spoonmore. Wouldn't that be
a great combination, girls?
Dugdale has signed Mike Lynch for
manager of the Seattle team at $3000 per
year. Dug had better be careful or Mike
may demand that he pay him real and
not conversation money but then Dug
always did pay exorbitant salaries to his
managers- For Instance, Terry MeKune
and Justin Bennett got similar salaries,
perhaps.
Jack Murphy, of Portland, who Is bid
ding for an umpire's berth in either of
the leagues next season, is a graduate
of Notre Dame University, and for a time,
was one of the most popular players in
the Northwestern League. He is a na
tive of St. Paul, and played several sea
son's with the Fargo team. He was a
member of that team during the early
days of Andy Anderson and Jake Thlel
man, both of whom later played in Port
land. Harry Gardner, the tall young south
paw who made such a fine record with
Hal Pomeroy's East Skle team in the
Trl-Clty League, and later with the Coos
Bay League last season, has been signed
by Walter McCredie for one of his Port
land teams next season. Gardner will be
given a thorough tryout in California
next Spring, and according to his show
ing he will bo delegated to pitch either
for the Coast or the Northwestern
League team.
Portland fans will be delighted to
know that there Is a possibility of
"Whispering" Phil Nadeau playing base
ball on the Coast next year. Phil Is now
sojourning in Portland: in fact, he has
been here ever since the close of the
Southern League season, and announces
that he expects to be transferred to a
Northwestern or Pacific Coast League
club in txchange for another player in
the near future. Phil likes Portland and
the Coast, and is hoping that the deal
whereby he will be allotted to a North
western club is negotiated successfully.
