MEMPHIS. Nov. Si The practical ad mission of the Calilbrnia State League, an "outlaw" circuit, to the National as sociation of major -and minor baseball leagues was the result of the first day's session of the National Board or Arbi tration here today. The board spent the day discussing the terms under which the Calltorntans will be admitted. J. H. Ferrell, secre tary of the National Association, and Frank Hermann, president of the Cali fornia State League, were appointed a committee to draw up the agreement under which the new Teague is to be admitted. The agreement will be sub mitted to the National board and. If ap proved by that body, will then go before the f ntire association tomorrow for final ""action. Ewing Talks It Over. J. Cal Ewlng. president of the Pacific Coast League, and Mr. Hermann had a conference before the question went be fore the National board. It was decided that the new league shall share three cities with the Pacific Coast organiza tion. Non-conflicting schedules are to he fixed, and San Francisco. Oakland and Sacramento will have two teams. This aerfement was approved by the board Stockton. Frfsno and probably San Jose ill be thn other cities to make up the six-club circuit of the California State League. The title to 61 players will be decided bv the National board and the title to five players by the National commission. These players are either under contract or on the reserve list of some National agreement club, and went with the Cali fornia Siote League while It was an "out law" organization. It Is said the major ity of the cases will bo decided without trouble but the National commission will have to be called on where major league clubs are Involved Contract Jumpers Held. It was decided that contract JumPers must remain in the California State T.;i(5u- for four years, while those who have broken their reserve clauses must remntn for two years. When any of these players are sold or drafted during the four years, one-half of the money will go to the California State League, and the other half to the National Association. The minimum pur chase price in these cases must equal the drafting price. The new league will be admitted in class B. llAHNti S-EASOX IS CUT SHORT Anti-Belting Law Works Hardship on New York Turfmen.

Returned Oregonian Tells of Rich Strikes in Islands. Dr. E. B. Merchant, of Manila, who was born in Yamhill County, Oregon, and comes of a family of early Oregon pioneers, predicted yesterday at the Portland that the Philippine Islands would-soon take a leading place among the regions of the world in which petroleum Is produced. Dr. Merchant has made his home in the islands since a few months after the occupation of Manila by the United States. "Just before I left there," said Dr. Merchant. "Dr. George I. Adams, the geologist of the division of mines, re turned from a reconnoisance of the Tabayas Peninsula, on which already there has been considerable prospect lug. His Investigation confirmed the impression that there is oil of high quality on the peninsula. The speci mens that lie analyzed were of re markably light specific gravity. He found oil in three distinct localities on the Ajus River, which reaches the coast between Catanauan and Mulanay; on the Vigo River and on the Bahay River. On the Ajus mining locations have beer, made recently. Nearly the whole of the Valley of the Vigo has been staked, and in the Bahay district one wcil, about 40 meters deep, has been sunk and h is made a showing of oil. and many other locations have b'.en made."

In Norfolk, Vs.. th law permits all per sons who observe Saturday as the SabLatta to do business on Sundae in a whirlwind fipht of ten rounds, here tonight. The battle was that of a scien tific boxer, who was able to hit and get away, against a man whose main asset is slugging, and who could not get near enough to his shifty opponent to land. In but one round, the second, was Thompson able to eend home enough tell ing blows to make it appear that his strength would carry the iight home to iim. Thompson also took a brace' in the last three rounds and did some good work. A mighty shout of approval went up at the end of the tenth round, when Referee Joe Coffey, of Chicago, raised Packey's right hand, signifying that he had won. Wearied by the terrific pace of the bat tle, McFarland did not realize that he had won. Two minutes after the decision had been given he hurried across the ring to the press box and asked: "Did I win?." When assured that he was the victor, a broad smile overspread his face as he said: "I've got rid of the last man who blocked my path to a scrap with Nelson." Thompson expressed the opinion that he could defeat McFarland in a longer fight. The receipts tonight were about $6000. Sixty per cent of thi went to the fight ers, who divided it 60 per cent winner and 40 per cent loser. Round One. Both advanced with caution. Thompson led with a left and was blocked.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Nov. 8. (Special.) It was a bruised, battered up and disheartened football squad that began practice to day for the bis game against the Uni versity of Idaho on Multnomah Field next Saturday. Though Oregon won from Multnomah by the small score of 3 to 0, the result of the game was so largely a matter of luck that the most sanguine supporters of the varsity are doubtful of the outcome of the Idaho game. In the Multnomah game it was shown that Oregon has built up a splendid defense, but her offensive work was so ragged the team went to pieces at critical moments. Stopping the plunges of Multnomah's heavy backs also cost the collegians heavily in injuries. Several of the best de fensive men on the team were so badly cripnled up and bruised they may not be ahJe to get in the lineup for two weeks. "Big Lou" Pinkham, the star tackle, had his knee twisted and will not be able to participate in practice at all. Trainer "Bill" Hayward is putting him through a steaming process every night in the hope of getting him in shape to play his position against the Idahoans, but even with Hayward's best efforts, Pinkham may bave to be kept on the sidelines. The big fellow is worrying so much over his enforced rest it is retarding his recovery. x Both Hickson and Bill Kiltz, who played star games in the end positions, were severely bruised. Hickson has a sprained ankle that is behaving obsti nately, and Kiltz got a severe twist of one of his knees. Dodson, who went into the game when Kiltz was obliged to go out, should never bave played at all, for he had a bad tone bruise on the, thigh which wa3 hurt again in the first scrimmage he got into. Saturday's game showed that unless Oregon can develop a good quarter back before the Idaho game, she will have small chance of winning. Though Clarke put up a good game in that position, he was needed in his old place at half to give strength to the of fensive work. Latourette's natural po sition is half, as he has shown up there better than he ever did before, but he will probably have to be sent back to quarter. In the very last scrimmage of Saturday's game Captain Clarke re ceived an injury to his right foot that is about the heaviest blow the squad has received. Unless he can be brought around In time for the game, it means that Oregon wil be deprived of hie services as a punter and place kicker. Idaho will be no mean opponent, in spite of the fact that she "has been beaten by the other conference colleges. Last Saturday the eleven showed a de cided brace in holding the heavy Pull man squad to three touchdowns. Idaho weighs about 175 pounds, with Oregon about four pounds heavier. The unfor tunate injuries to his menjust when the team was in the best of shape have placed Coach Forbes under a heavy handicap. If he succeeds under these circumstances in whipping his men into condition to beat Idaho, it will show him one of the greatest coaches in the Northwest. Coach Metzger, of the Oregon Agri cultural College, saw Saturday's game here. Metzger also saw Washington down Idaho a week ago, and he told a friend that Oregon's showing was so much Inferior to that of the Washing tonians that there was no comparison at this stage of the season. ' Because a spy was caught on the field taking notesf plays run through by the squad in practice last week. Coach Forbes has instituted practice behind closed, gates. No one not con nected with the team, or who is not known personally to the coach or Trainer Hayward. will hereafter be ad mitted on the field. Big League Spends Fortune. NEW YORK. Nov. 8.
