They aleo have games with the team representing tho Portland Soooer Association. see From the scores In their football games It appears that Jefferson 1 somewhat weaker than Washington, aa a whole. The three gamea with teams which both have met have resulted in the following soores: Lincoln waa tied by Jefferson, while Washington was defeated; Portland Academy waa downed by Washington by an over whelming score, while Jeferson hardly defeated them; Washington beat Salem High 18 to 0, while Jeferson got the game by a score of only 1 to 0. One of the reasons now advanced by some of the Washington High followers for the defeat by Lincoln Friday Is that the team could not play on the sawdust. Lincoln undoubtedly had the better of the deal in that respect, as it has been practicing on the shavings ever alnce they were spread on the field. The East 81 dors worked out on the old Portland Field, which Is now about as slippery as It could possibly be.

C, sporting writers are already predicting the transferal of "Kid" Elberfeld. the scrappy little shortstop of the Senators. This fore cast Is made because of the long-standing feud between Elberfeld and Clark Orifnth, the new manager of the Wash ington team. The fight began when both were members of the New Tork American League club. It Is said that Elberfeld will be either traded or sold at the December meeting. Always con sidered one of the best lnflelders In either league. Elberfeld's playing has been high class since he joined the Washington.

BLUE LAWS ARE BLAMED Wolgast and McFarlanfl Favorites In Coming Bouts Multnomah Matt and: Mat Men Not Il9 oouraged by Their Defeats. In the past ew months there has been a steady stream of announcements of tho permanent retirement from turf affairs of men whose names were prominently linked with the racing game when the sport was at Its height In America. The "sport of kings" is gradually sinamg to oblivion in this country, and with it marks the passing of Americans reputation of belns the home of equine marvels. "Repressive legislation," as the turf men call It. has played havoo with the horse-breeding Industry, and passing events are significant enough to sug gest that America, before long, will cease to be known as "the home of the thoroughbred." Blue - blooded sires, racers and untried colts are being sent out of the country In droves. Even Kentucky, the famous "Blue Grass State," whloh It was thought would be the last to abandon hope in respect to a restitution of racing, apparently has accepted the seemingly inevitable and la allowing Itself to bo rifled of Its oholcest equine treasures. Price No Bar to Ownership. Existing conditions are In such marked contrast to what obtained In the old years that foreign buyers see an opportunity by which they sold to Americans before. Time was when British and Australian turf devotees de plored the manner. In which far-famed sires of theirs were "grabbed" by Americana It was a byword: "If there is a price on anything, and an Ameri can wants It, he will get It, Irrespec tive of the price asked." The proof of thla is seen In the pres ence In this country, even now, of Rockland and St. Blair, Imported sires, each of which cost upwards of $100,000. And there Is Ormonde, called by Eng lish critics "the horse of the century." Ormonde was purchased by W. Mac. Donough, of Ban Francisco, for 1150,600. But those days are past. Instead of being buyers. American turf men have turned eellers, and if some of the re- ,v.iw Vi I ci TM-1 rl nurchiueri of former times are not finding their way to the bargain counter oi tne auc tioneer's establishment It is because they are the property of rich men, or rich corporations, who are not com pelled to sacrifice them. . wit. viT-Tnttllv no betting has been done locally on the coming Wolgast- Welsh and Merariana-Murpnj usma, odds probably will favor Wolgast ia T and MnFarland I to L The majority of Wolgast's fights have ended Inside the ZQ-rounu nmii, ana it Is figured that the vegeterlan English man win nnt he s t rn n or enouirh to with stand his torrlfio attack.

"Franske waa sick Just before he went on the mat," said O'Connell on his return from Seattle In explaining Franske's defeat at the hands of Dun can. "At that, he should have won. and had It not been for his careless ness he would have been returned the winner. If the same weights are named when Multnomah and Seattle meet again. I am confident both Franske and Davlscourt will fare lots better. Al though beaten by "Polly" Grimm, the National amateur heavyweight cham pion. Davlscourt'made a great showing, and the next time should win asalnst the same man." Tommy Ryan haa nothing but praise for his two proteges. "Eyeman proved his punching prowess and Carey his gameness," he said. "Eyeman has a good chance against the best amateurs In the country at his weight. I think, and Carey, with a little more experience, will prove a hummer. Both are naturally clever and willing to stand the gaff." Multnomah's men will not be called upon to enter the rlnfr again until January. By that time both Ryan and O'Connell hope to have their men de veloped to a point where there will be no doubt as to their winning. $260 AUTOPIANO $260.
