McCredle'a cleverest slab ster. and who has been drafted by the Chicago National league Club, was the original East India puzzle to the Hooli - gans yesterday. As Roy Willett. an ei Portlander. received miserable support, the home' team corralled the game by a score of S to 0. The result was not In any sense wil lett'a fault, for the lad from Golden. Colo., pitched equally as effective ball as did Carson. His support leaked like a sieve and the boots registered behind him hinded Portland a trio bf runs. With Cooney In pickle In the first In ning Olson skied a long fly to left which Martinke got under but muffed, and Ol son hooked second. Jack Oraney was the pinch hitter with a single to center which bounded away from Schaeffer, who subbed at short because of the absence o: Bernle McCay. who has been called to Seattle by the Illness of a relative. On Graney's hit Olson scored the first run. In the sixth, also with one down. George Ort doubled to center, and took third when Speas went out on a grounder to Haley. McCredle hit to Wild Bill Dev ' eraux. who has the habit of seeing funny things In wheelbarrows. but Brashear lost Red Dog's throw In the sun. and Ort scored, while the tall man ager was cafe on the error. Another tally was added in the next Inning when Al Carson worried Willett Into issuing a pass, and was advanced to second on Cooney's sacrifice. Olson beat out an In fiekl tap and Carson took third, scoring ' a moment later on Graney's out at the first station. That was all in the run getting line, for Willett received better support In the final Inning, and Carson t was Invincible. Truck" Eagan Is laid up for a few days with a badly smashed finger and McCay's absence at Seattle causes Hogan to call on his utility players. Haley filled In at second base yesterday and played a splendid game. He covered the territory cleverly and handled eight chances without a skip. In the seventh Inning one of the Pa cific Coast League's usual long-winded arguments arose because Umpire Mc Carthy failed to see Ort catch Coy off first on a quick toss from Fisher. Man ager McCredie, when the umps pleaded guilty of not seeing the play, wanted Um pire Toman, who officiated back of the plate, to decide, but Toman refused. How ever the play did not count for much, as Coy was caught at second a moment later on a force. , "Excitable" Hogan will delegate either Vance or Brackenrldge to the hill today, while Jesse Garrett will probably work fiT Portland.

Man From Sound of Gong Bet ting More LlTely Both Men Nervous on Eve of Fight. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14. Jack Johnson and Stanley Ketchel, the two principals In Saturday's match for the heavyweight championship, spent a strenuous day in their respective train ing camps. Neither needed any addi tional work, for both are In the pink of condition, but they worked furiously under the command of a moving pic ture operator, who spent the greater part of the day In taking the pictures which will be used as an introduction to the real fight. Ketchel has surprised the pugilistic world by announcing that he will not carry the fight to his opponent, as has been his custom in all his previous matches. He declares that Johnson must do the leading and says that he will not tear Into the big champion unless the latter shows unexpected weakness from the start. On the other hand, Johnson's mana ger asserts that his man will go after Ketchel from the sound of the gong to score an early knockout. When re minded that the picture privilege might suffer If an early knockout re sulted. Manager Little declared that even the prospect of his loss would not prevent the champion putting his op ponent down for the count in the first round If possible. - Betting on the big match showed an Increase today, but the odds still re main at 10 to 4 with the champion on the long end. Although no change In the odds occurred, it is believed at the pool rooms that the . flow of short end money, which began today, will soon cause a shortening of the price. Considerable money is wagered on the even proposition that Ketchel will stay 15 rounds. Both of the fighters are palpably ner vous on the eve of the battle, and of the two, Ketchel seems to show the greater strain. Johnson weighed to day and tipped the beam at 198 pounds, two pounds lighter than he expects to be when he climbs through the ropes next Saturday. Ketchel remains at his announced weight of 1TB pounds. This he declares to be his natural weight and the point at which he feels the strongest. at the Brighton Beach Motordrome, with 11 cars named to line up before the start at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Dr. Fred erick A. Cook, Arctic explorer, has been invited to act as official starter by the Motor Racing Association, and It is under stood he has accepted. SAME DEAL KEXT SEASON Brown, of Spokane, Predicts Status of Northwestern League. SPOKANE, "Wash.. Oct. 14. (Special.) "The Northwestern League will be In Just the same ehape at the start of next sea son as it was when the season opened this year," said Bob Brown this morning, after returning from the Northwestern League meeting in Seattle' last night. "The situation has not changed from what it was a month ago, as far as the Northwestern League clubs are concerned, and Portland will be in this league alone or else the town will have two teams as It did this season. "The matter was not officially dis cussed at the meeting, but the general consensus of opinion among the managers and presidents was that as far as the Coast, League was concerned, there would be no change In this organization. The league Is in a prosperous condition, and it was Impossible to see any reason for trying a scheme that had already proved Impossible." POLO CUP IS -SAFE FOR 5TEAR English Team Will Not Try to Retake Trophy TTntil 1911. LONDON, Oct. 14. The Hurllngham polo committee at a meeting today to consider the question of sending a polo team to the United States next season to try and regain the international polo cup, won this Summer by the Meadow brook team of Long Island, decided against the project.

TWO MAKE BIG PROFIT Lucas Returns From Seattle Meet ing Rival Circuits Will Contend for Right to Franchise In This City. William H. Lucas, president of the Northwestern League, who was re-elected at last Monday's meeting of the league officials, held at Seattle, has returned to Portland and Is engaged in getting out the official batting and fielding aver ages of the Northwestern League, which he hopes to complete in a few days. . At the meeting Monday reports were submlttd from all towns on finances, and Seattle easily took the palm for drawing propensities. Spokane carried off second honors, each of these clubs making big money on the season. The other towns broke about even financially. In addi tion, the account of the league funds submitted by President Lucas was highly satisfactory and was adopted unani mously. Walt on Coast League. Nothing definite was done regarding next season's circuit, for the Northwest ern League wishes o retain Portland in the fold if it is possible to do so. As this contingency Is dependent on the at titude of the Pacific Coast League, which organization has the prior claim, it will be necessary to await the meeting of the National Association ' of Professional Baseball Leagues, which will be held at Memphis, Tenn., next month, when the matter will be threshed out by that body. D. B. Dugdale, of Seattle: Joe Cohn, of Spokane; Walter MacFarlane, and Clar ence Rowland, of Aberdeen, "and Presi dent Lucas will attend that meeting on behalf of the Northwestern League. This delegation intends to put ,up ' a strong battle for recognition at the hands of that body. In the first place, the Northwestern League intends to demand the right to Portland as baseball territory, and Judge McCredie Is said to sanction this claim. J. Cal Ewlng, the head of the Pacific Coast League and owner of the "near" champion club, will also attend that meeting, and, as Ewlng has always had the happy faculty of getting results with wine suppers and the like, it is practi cally assured that tie will hold the whip hand at the baseball meeting. However, the Northwestern magnates are going to make their wants known, and are going to give Mr. Ewlng a run for his money at Memphis. Check for , Pf yl Sent." On his return from Seattle, President Lucas found a check from Secretary Far rell, of the National Association, for $600 owmari & Co. Fifth, and Alder Streets Or payable to the Portland Northwestern League Club, as the draft price for Player Pfyl, and Mr. Lucas is trying to get Into communication with Judge Mc Credie to learn the nature of the deal. Pfyl is. one of the California outlaw clayers, and, as far as known, has not been reinstated. Last Summer Walter McCredie was dickering with the player, and he accepted terms with Portland, but did not report. Manager McCredie probably submitted his acceptance of terms with Secretary Farrell and he ap proved same, but as the player has not reported and has signed no contract, the awarding of the draft price to Portland Is. probably a mistake. President Lucas announced that he would continue to make his headquarters in Portland for the present, and may continue to reside here next season if Portland is represented In the North western organization again.

Charge Is Alleged Disobedience to Rules of Coach Metzger, Who Is Backed by the Students. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallls, Or., Oct. 14. (Special.) Carl Wolff, captain of the 19(18 team, ana au- Northwest halfback last year, was today summarily discharged from the football sou ad by Coach Metzger lor insubordina tion.

Buffum & Pendleton Sll Morrison. Street. Ladles' Hats. Olds, Wortman & King given his own way in previous years. This season Wolff attempted his. usual tactics, to which Metzger objected. Metzger told the ex-captain what he ex pected of his men and that he must re spect his orders. Wolff is said to have made a pretense at obedience but really to have provoked Metzger frequently. Metzger warned him several times and the crisis came when Wolff failed to ap pear at practice last night and neglected to explain his absence. - Metzger said tonight that Wolff's In fluence was very demoralizing to the squad and that, while he was a valuable man, the team would be better off with out him If he persisted in his present attitude. The students will support Metzger In his action. They feel that harmony must prevail if the college is to develop a team of any strength this year. They also ap prove of the methods which Metzger has introduced and appear ready to back him to the end. , the question of affiliating with the State League will be decided. The committee consists of Frank J. Lonergan, Bert Allen and James S. McCord. ' Articles of Incorporation. Grabarhs Pacific Coaat Scenery Studio Incorporators.
