ST. LOCI3. Oct. 10. Each of the five
local porting' writers. In commenting
on yesterday a American Leaame base
ball frames between the Cleveland and
Et. Louis teams, charae today that cer
tain of the local team allowed Lajole
'to obtain hits.
Summary Looks Faked.
The object of this. It Is charged, was
to enable him to score mors nits aur
las; the season than were credited to
Cobb of Detroit.
Lajole Is credited by the official
scorer as being st bat four times In
each trsme of the double-header. Each
time he obtained a hit.
In the summary he Is also frlven a
sacrifice hit. The first time he hit
liner snd msde three bases. The ball
-ent over the center fielder's head.
tx other times he bunted down the
third base line and either beat Third
Paseman Corrldon's throw to first or
else Corrldon did not attempt to throw.
Another time Lajole grounded to
Wallace, who threw wild to first base.
Once L-aJnle bunted to Corrldon, who
fleided It but threw wild to first. This
was the play that gave Lajole a sac
ridre hit.
When Lajole was at bat Corrldon
played far bark of third base, lie ran
up arh time Lajole bunted.
Mailer and Nelson were the St. Louis
pitchers. In the only other game which
Mailer pitched against Claveland. La
Jole got one hit on three times at bat.
Nelson never pitched to Lajole beiore.
Hedges Refuses to Talk.
President Hedges of the local team
refused to discuss the team's playing.
"Lajole outguessed us." said Man
ager O'Connor. "We figured he did not
have the nerve to bunt every time. He
beat us at our own game. I will not
snd any of my players In to play up
close to Lajole when he tries to bunt.
In explaining his playing Lajole In s
telearam to a local newspaper said:
"After I made my first hit. a clean
drive to center for three bsses. the
Ft. Louts men played deep, expecting
me to pound the ball out every time.
I fooled them right along. The pitch
ers did ther best to deceive me, I am
certain.'

CINCINNATI. Oct. la "I have nothing
whatever to say." was the way Napoleon
I.sjole answered a request for an Inter
view here today regarding the manner
In which he made eight hits in one day
at St. Louis yesterday. Before he was
through, however, he said that he not
only secured eight hits In an absolutely
genuine manner, but that he really de
served nine hits.
When asked to explain this last state
ment, he answered:
--Tiial s all I have to say on the sub-Je.-:."
Information was conveyed to Lajole
(urlng the interview that Frank Navin.
president of the Detroit club, had said
that his feat at 8t Louis yesterday looked
suspicious.
' do It looked suspicious to Xavln. did
Itr said Lajole. "Well, he knows what
1 certainly will have my say. Until that
he can do. He can take it before the
league If he wants to. and at that time
time, I can only say that I not only got
e ght hits yestenlay In a regular manner,
but that I should be credited with nine.
Thai's all I have to say."

fU)ers.

sporting writers. In discussing the La
)oie incident, declared they did not
think blame could be attached to the
Si. 1auis pitchers. Malloy and Nelson
They said, however, that the case pre
sented the possibility of an under

fit-birrs of the St. Louts team.

CRIGER TO PITCH FIRST
Fresh From Capturing San Fran
cisco's Scalp, "Pa" Dillon Hopes
to Do .Same 'With Beavers.
Hope for Good Weather.
Portland and Los Angeles today will
open the final series of baseball to be
played at Recreation Park for this sea
son, for both the Beavers and the An
gels depart for California Sunday
night for the final roundup in the
league play.
This series. If all the games are
played, ought to give the Beavers a
neat lead over the Oakland crowd when
McCredle's team Invades the Southland.
As Portland and Oakland do not meet
again this season. It will be a struggle
between these teams over the other
clubs, and the flag will depend upon
the strength to be shown by Portland
on the road.
This afternoon's game will open the
series with Los Angeles, and the Bea
vers are expected to get five out of the
seven games scheduled.
Portland has won 14 out of 20 games
with the Angels, at which ratio, if
maintained this week, should bring at
least five more games to Portland's
victory column this week.
At one time the Angels bid fair to'
climb to the top of the heap, for they
took the series from San Francisco,
Oakland and Vernon in succession and
advanced to third place, only to fall
behind when they met the Beavers
This week the Angels are fresh from
capturing the series from San Fran
cisco and naturally will be confident of
getting at least an even break with
McCredle's team, for "Pa" Dillon Is a
shrewd old fox at this baseball game,
and his team is not a poor aggregation
by any means.
However, Henry Berry, the muchly
dressed individual who owns and con
trols the Angelic herd, has not done the
team any good by announcing his in
tention of substituting practically the
entire squad with new material next
year, for ball players are but human,
and Berry's published statement cannot
be otherwise construed but as an af
front to the players now trying to win
for Los Angeles.
Dillon will probably open the series
here w ith Southpaw Crlger, the. twirler
who pitched such a fine game here on
the last trip of the Angels, and, besides,
the Seraphic band also will have the
services of Pitcher Delhi, who, as yet.
has not appeared here, though he has
been a member of that team since the
season started.
The fans are hoping for favorable
weather and indications point to a bet
ter week than was enjoyed here by Sac
ramento last week. Gene Krapp prob
ably will pitch for Portland.
10 WINS DECISION?
JUDGE GRAHAM TO SETTLE HET.
LIXG CASE SOOX.
If Oakland's Protest Cnrrles, W'ol-
verton's Team Will Be Placed
Two Points Over Portland.
BY XT. J. PETRAIX.
According to advices from San Fran
cisco received yesterday Judge Graham,
president of the Pacific Coast League
intends to make public soon his decision
on the now famous Hetling cafs, and if
he forfeits the games to Oakland, as has
been Intimated by the California scribes.
the Oaks will have a lead over Portland
of almost two points. The percentages of
the two teams In the event the decision
goes against Portland will be:
Club. Won. Lost. PC
Oakland 109 S3 .5625
Portland 7 78 .6607
However, If Judge Graham docw forfeit
the games to Oakland, he will have
rendered a most unpopular decision from
the standpoint of the Portland fans, and
will also have done an Injustice to every
professional baseball player. A decision
adverse to Portland will do nothing less
than make Gus Hetllr.g, an Innocent
player, a contract Jumper and therefore
an outlaw r-layer, whereas he is nothing
of the sort.
Hetling was allowed to play with Spo
kane through an option secured on his
services by Joe Cbhn. who thought he
wanted the player. Conn played Hetling
in a number of games and declined to
exercise his option, which threw the
player back to the Portland team, with
which club ho had been playing since
early In May of this year. Hetling did
not Jump a contract, nor has he violated
any rule that lo a Just rule.
From the sense of the sentiment voiced
by the San Francisco scribes, and in
some of them Judge Graham has been
quoted, everything' pertaining to this
matter is against Portland and Hetling,
but the writer doubts some of the state
ments attributed to Judge Graham, who
Is a fair man. If Judge Graham rules
against Portland he will be looked upon
as a prejudiced official, for the case
of Hetling is not like that of an Eastern
or major league player Imported to win
series.
Had Hetling been Imported from the
East Harry Wolverion could not be
blamed for protesting, but his act effect
ing games in which Hetling played seems
like a small piece of ouslness tor a
man supposed to be a clean sportsman
and anxious to win the pennant on the
merits of his own team. It looks like
the Oakland man wanted to profit by
a technicality and, If he wants the pen
nant on a technicality, he and the whole
bunch of California fans arS scribes can
have it. As asserted before, Portland
does not want a pennant on a techni
cality. CAXADIAX GOLFER LEADIXG

EASTERN 6AME IS BEST
CAMP THIXKS' WESTERN FOOT
BALL IS INFERIOR.
Famous Critic Is Making Tour of
Cities Jn Northwest Learning
About Athlete Situation.
Walter Camp, football expert, left
Portland yesterday afternoon for Se
attle and other Northwestern points,
where he Intends to look over the ath
letic situation, principally relative to
football.
When questioned about his idea of
whether Western athletes were fit to
be selected as members of the All
American team. Camp did not commit
himself directly, for he undoubtedly
believes that the Eastern brand of foot
ball Is superior in every respect, but
the famous critic did not care to put
himself on record as maintaining such
a position. Instead he pleaded that he
was altogether familiar with the style
of play common to the big four and
the few colleges competing with Yale,
.Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania,
and said that he was not personally fa
miliar with the capabilities of the Far
Western collegiate football situation.
When asked why Pacific Coast play
ers had never been selected to grace
the All-American football team. Camp
replied that some players from the Pa
cific Coast had been named on the pre
mier aggregation,, but added that they
had been so selected after playing for
Eastern elevens.
While he did not care to be quote-J
on the subject. Camp intimated that the
Western colleges were not quite so
far advanced educationally, and that
the same applied to the football field
as well as the curriculum.
Before leaving for the North Walter
Camp visited Hill Military Academy at
the request of Dr. J. W. Hill, the prin
cipal, who, like Camp. Is a Tale man,
and the famous football critic devoted
half an hour to a lecture to the stu
dents on athletics as well as studies.
Camp's talk was XTglily appreciated by
the students, who cheered him as he
was departing for the train.
