UMPIRE SYSTEM IS TOPIC Proposal Will Come Tp at Annual I SeMion of League Allan T. Biam, New rrrsldcnt. Will Preside for First Time. &ie Pacific Coast League mtfnitii frill meet la San Francisco at the an ual meeting of the organisation, at ihlch Urn the 1S11 schedule and the proposed double nmplr system will be las principal toplca lor discussion. , Allan T. Baum. the newly-elected president of the leaa-ue. will preside rer a league meeting for the first time. He has openly declared himself In faTor of the double system of urn plrtng. President llaum will have the backing of Messrs. Ish. Berry. Mc Credle and Graham In favor of this measure. W. YT. McCredle, president of the Portland Club, will leave Monday for Ban Francisco, to attend the meeting. Jiis primary object In attendlna- the session of the Coast League moguls Is to. see that nothing detrimental to the two-club proposition In Portland Is en acted, and also to see th.it Portland secures a favorable schedule of (Tames. He has always favored the double um pire system. - Borne few weeks tito the California mos-uls talked of refusing permission to Portland to have a Northwestern League team here, but recent Inter views tend to show that they have un dergone a change of sentiment: that they are willing .to give McCredle the right to place the Class H team In the field again. Ex-Judge McCredle Is not likely to meet with any opposition when he makes his request. Ex-Judge McCredle Intends to pro pose to the leatrue magnates the elim ination of Sum!.iy mornintr games. There will be opposition to this, for the cutting out of the Sunday morning arames would d-prlve the Oakland Club of considerable revenue, as that team draws large crowds at home Bun day mormnrs, while the San Francisco Club also shares profitably in these games. Vernon and Los Angeles also nave the Sunday morning games. Hap Hogan's team has always drawn well at Vernon Sunday mornings, the only game of the week played at the Tigers' home. It Is probable, however, that the Punday morning games for Sacra mento and played at Stockton will be eliminated from the schedule, as the Journey to Etockton was found too ex pensive last season. The last Sunday morning games played at Stockton last season did not bring In enough coin to buy sandwiches for the players. ... ' VT. TV. McCredle. who has been en gaged In the defense of Hanker Phil lips, at Kaiama. Wash., will return to Portland from that place today and will Immediately take up the matter of the letting of the contract for the construction of Portlands proposed new baseball park. He had hoped to let the contract Thursday, but the bidders, whose fig ures were most acceptable to the Port land magnate, failed to submit the necessary bond Insuring construction Ja the required time, so the magnate postponed the acceptance until today. It Is hoped to have the work of rax ing the old stands and bleachers be gun Monday and not later than Tues day, for the new structures must be completed by March 1. This leaves hardly three months In which to com plete the work. Harry Abies, the giant Oakland fetcher. Is "some traveler." If the San Francisco Post Is to be believed. The l'oet reports that Harry has returned to Oakland after his hunting trip with Ruddy Kyaxt and others. Vet the big nrtrler was In Portland yesterday, and l.kemlse has been seen around town every day since his return from the I:ogue Klver country. As far as known the Post must be mistaken. NEW FIGHT ODDS OBTAIN" I lets of to 1 on Packer McFarland ' Establish New Record. BAV FRANCISCO. Dec 1. (Special.) When odds of to 1 were offered and bets aotually written at that price for Packey McFarland to beat Tommy Murphy, a new record was established la long odds on prizefights In this or any 'other country. Of course there have been some freak bets at time), but this price was actually made and tho money deposited. The man who liked Packey sorted to bet to 1 that the Chlcogan would win. Then ho went to e to 1 and finally made a bet of 10 to and another bet of 11 to 2. That was all the money he could place. "It Is a high-water mafk In odds on a fight." ald Tom Corbett today. "1 never heard of its equal. When Choy nskl was boxing Joe Wolcott there was oim S-to-1 money, but never t to 1, and I guess that price will stick." Also, according to Corbett. the bout was the poorest betting contest for "months. No one seemed to think that Murphy had a chance, and up to 10 o'clock on the night before the fight not a ticket had been written on the general result.

FAST GAME IS PREDICTED Kangaroos Who Are Touring Amer ica Have Been Practicing Hard. Also Will Try Conclusions Here on Tuesday With Eleven. The all-star eleven chosen from the Portland Association League will try conclusions this afternoon with the Australians on tbe Multnomah Field at :&. Tba Kangaroos, who are tour ing America, have been practicing hard for this match, and hope to put up a good game. "Of course, you must remember." says Secretary Coyne, "that we are only a boys' team, with an average aga of somewhere about 17, so that you must not expect too much from them, seeing that they are up agalnat an eleven of men." The visiting team will be selected from the following 11 boys: Wil liams. Renfrey, Clark. Davidson, Olas kin. .Randall. Ing. Franklin. Jones. Lawrence. Retalack and fibacklow. the first three of whom are the star plac ers. The Portland All-Star line-up will be: Duncan, goal: Mackia. K. P.; Mar tin. L B.; Mansley. It. H. It.; Robert son. C H.

On Tuesday the Australians play a team selected from Portland high school players, who have been taking to the game with Increasing Interest. Here they will be meeting an eleven of about their own 'age and weight, so tbat the game promises to be a close the Australian style of play, kicking and handling are allowed, but there la no tackling as understood here. A player may run with the ball, but It must be bounced every 10 yard.-v. An opponent, to gain possession of the bail, merely lays bis hands on the player, when tbe latter must, drop the ball, or a penalty Is enacted. Drop kicking, high-marking and short-passing are the main features of the game, which all Australians commend as be ing the most suitable for boys, because It eliminates all danger of Injury through rough play. LEST WE FORGET What Farmer Portlaad Players Are New Dolag. . So. 28 Con Harlow. . AMONG the Portland boys who have been more or less successful at professional baseball Is Con Harlow, the stocky young catcher who was a member of the Portland Pacific Coast League team In 1902. having signed with Sammy Vlgneux that season after having enjoyed several successful sea sons in the South. Harlow first learned to play baseball on -the vacant lots of Portland, but his professional career was started- else where, and for several seasons from 1S98 to 10J he enjoyed a successful career as catcher and manager for dif ferent teams in the Mississippi Valley. As a member pf the Nashville, and Chattanooga teams In the Southern League, and as catcher and manager of the Natchei team he acquired con siderable prominence. In the Fall of 1903 he visited bis home tn Portland for the first time iol several years aad while here he listened to the blandishments of Sam Vlgneux and Jack Marshall and cast his lot with his "home town" team In the newly or ganised "outlaw" league. For some reason or other Harlow t . i - f f vaeaasavarr' S --. 1 $ 1 4 f . - j:'!:;;V' J VT-' t t - t '.. ; - ' ' i- could not get going with the Portland team, and accidents frequently Inca pacitated him to such an extent that he caught very few games for this team. At the end of the season he re quested his release in order to accept the management of a team In the Cot ton States League, and. this was grant ed to him. He returned to the South land and enjoyed several successful seasons as a manager, and a few weeks ago he again visited Portland looking prosperous and having several good prospects for 1912 berths In view. Aftei passing a few weeks here Harlow re turned to the South to close up a deal for the purchase of a certain club, tbe outcome of which Is still pending. Rodgers Laid Cp With Carbuncle. Buddy Ryan received a letter from Pill Rodgers . yesterday In which the Beaver's 1911 captain states that he Is laid up In camp near West Fork with an aggravating carbuncle on his knee. Rodgers writes that he had been en Joying his outing Immensely and that he had trapped and killed two large black bears before he was afflicted with the carbuncle which has put him out of commission temporarily1. He says he expected to be out In a week and to enjoy several more excursions after the mountain monarchs.

This was tbe first game of the season for either team. AMATEUR ATHLETICS MEMBERS of the Australian boys soccer team declare that the game with the Portland . high school stars ought to be an easy game, as they have not seen a team here yet that could play the game. This Is only the second season that the gams has been played here to any extent, but some of the players are getting pretty adept at the game of modified football and the visitors may get a surprise.

Y A WARNER TO QUIT AS OREGON COACH Who Will Direct Football Mat ters at Eugene in 1912 Is Big Problem. GRADUATE PLAN PROPOSED State University Alnmnl May Seek to Have New Syslom Installed. Walker or Bailey May Captain Next Team. UNI VKRSTTT OF OREGON, Eugene. Or.. Dec. 1. (Special.) Now that the final curtain has been rung down upon the 1911 football schedule at the Uni versity of Oregon, the post-mortem In terest In the game about the campus centers around these two considera tions: Who will coach the 1912 team and, who will captain the 1911 teamT It Is a safe prediction that William J. Warner and Sanford B. Hunt, who made up the 1911 coaching staff, will not be at the helm again next Fall. Al though he did not specifically say so before leaving Portland today for his home at Hermlston. Head , Coach War ner has clearly Intimated several times that he would not seek the Oregon var sity contract for the third time. His associates on the team say he has re alised for some weeks that his work with the team has not met with univer sal commendation and that he appar ently feels willing to release the monl torshlp. Nor is It certain that the university athletic council would re-elect him In case that he did apply for a renewal of contract. Warner was popular with the student body as a whole, but many of the "sldellners" believed that his ex perience with the new game had not been thorough enough. He won his collegiate fame as guard on the 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902 teams at Cornell University, being chosen by Walter Camp as All-Amerlcan guard In 1901. "Sandy" Hunt, his assistant at Oregon during the. past two years, was his guard mate at the Ithaca Institution, each of them having held the captaincy. Graduate Coach Plan Probable. Though known to but few, a dozen well-known Oregon graduatea gathered Informally on the evening of the tell ing victory of the University of Wash ington over the lemonyellow hopefuls to discuss the feasibility of recommend ing a graduate coach system for their alma mater, similar to those In vogue at Yale, Harvard. Cornell and other big Eastern colleges. No definite course was outlined and nothing may come of the meeting, but the merits and demer its of both systems were freely ex pressed pro and con. All realize that the first graduate regime at Oregon would tackle pretty rough sleighing, so that It is not likely that any single ex-hero would consent to take up the scepter. If the gradu ates are to usurp the throne. It Is prob able that several would be engaged at moderate salaries and that a large num. ber of the old men would rally to the college standard for the routine prac tices Just prior to the important games. At the meeting November 18 there was no inclination to hold up any set of Oregon veterans as past masters In the game as compared with mentors from campuses foreign to the Pacific Coast. The contention rather was that the establishment of a permanent grad uate system would Insure the steady development of a definite style of play which might be furthered, year after year. Into a characteristic "Oregon" system. Two Tears Job Limit. In the past no squad head has ever remained with the team for more than two years, the result being that a wide variety of routine ideas have been drilled Into the various teams. At each change of administration no two coaches coming from the same school of football tactics the former mechan ism of play discipline was altered, in greater or less degree, and new feat urea of attack and defense Introduced. Early In the present century. 1901 and 1901, It was W. W. ("Looomotlve") Smith who propagated the University of California Ideas; the J90I team was coached by Marion Dolph. the former Multnomah star, who learned the gams at Williams College: then in 1904 Kicn ard (Dick) Smith, the former University of Oregon hero, came fresh from his All-Amerlcan glory in the East with the style of play that he had learned at Columbia University, in New York; the 190S eleven was coached by Bruce Shorts, a sage who gained his experi ence at the University of Michigan; next Fall Hugo Bezdeck. who ham mered his fame Into many a box score while playing fullback under the tute lage of the famous Stagg at the Uni versity of Chicago, put out a cham pionship team, the first that ever de feated Multnomah. The 1907 varsity was guided by Gor don B. Frost, a former leader at Dart mouth College, but he stepped -back In favor of Robert W. Forbes, All-Amerlcan end while at Yale, with the double team beliefs used at the New Haven training quarters. More men won their varsity emblems while Forbes was in charge than during any other seasons, because be believed In sending In fresh recruits at occasional stages of the game. Forbes advised both the 1908 and 1909 teams. . , Warner's Ideas Differ. Warner was engaged In 1910 and ho has Just finished his second year with the Oregon squad. He Is a firm ex ponent of the 11-man team notion, as evidenced by the size of the first squads for the two seasons. Last year only 11 men played in enough games to earn for them the official "O" monogram, while this year 12 have gained that dis tinction. In the eyes of the retrospective critic. Dick Smith and Hugo Bezdeck have been the greatest coaches that have ever graced the crosslines on the Ore gon field. Each of these renowned generals, who brought such prestige to the standard of the lemon-yellow, have been sugpested as the proper. man to drill the 1912 outfit, but It is not probable that either can. be secured. Smith Is a practicing attorney living In Eugene. When the old "grads" came to the rescue after the scare given out by the 'slim victory which Oregon gained over Whitman In' Eugene, Dick Smith was the first exhorter to offer his services, but he did so with the under standing that the fact should be kept secret, aa he did not care to have his name connected with athletics any more. When he left Oregon, Bezdeck went back to work under Stagg at Chicago, but be Is now located at the University of Arkansas, where' he has general su perintendence of all athletic activity. Whether the new coach la to be a Smith, a Bezdeck. a graduate or an un known will no doubt be determined by the :unlverslty athletic council within the next few weeks. i Captaincy Is Bis; Problem. Conjecture as to who will be elected oaptaln - of the 191 team, though of lesser Importance so far as the future success of the team Is concerned. Is of greater Interest to the students Just now than the coach question, partly because of its precedence In time and partly because of the political element which usually enters Into the post season election. These 12 men, who have fulfilled the requirements of the student body con stitution as legalized "O" 'men. will determine who Is to lead the team unte the fields next year:- Kellogg. Farlss, Hall. Brailey. Bradshaw, Fenton, Chan dler, Latourette. Walker, Main. Heus ner and Jones. According to the ath letlo rules the manager of football Is to call an eleotlon "Immediately after the close of the season," which will be some time this month. Every one Is agreed that either Dean Walker or Edward Bailey will win the honor, which is generally regarded as the richest gift within the reach' of an undergraduate. Walker and Bailey are the only team members of Junior stand ing In the university who have been regular squad men for three seasons. From all appearances, the contest be tween these two men will be very cIobb. It Is possible that Freshman Klser and one or two other members of the squad will be granted the official em blem as reward for the faithful service that they have rendered in substitute capacity and as second-team men In praotlce. At first glance It would. seem that Klser Is entitled to his "O" on per. fortnance alone, for he played almost all of the first half against Whitman, nearly all of the second half against Washington, and the full game against Multnomah, but. according to the rules of award, he has fallen short of the standard requirement. To gain the privilege to wear a regu lation "O" a football man must "play one full half in the first line-up, two halves in the second line-up. or three parts of halves in the second line-up in a conference contest or an Intercollegi ate championship contest." Since the game with the Multnomah Club does not fall within the conference realm. Klser has barely fallen short of require ment on each of the three tests. Because of his conceded qualification the council may award him the letter, aa It is empowered to do Jong with any other who has earned particular recognition, but these men will not be allowed to vote for captaincy, even though they should receive the covated monogram, for the rules state that only those who have won their "O" "in ac tive competition" are entitled to vote. The students are considering these rules more seriously than ever before because this year a single vote might prove sufficient to swing the balance one way or the other. WAItXER'S ATTITUDE SCORED Intimations of "Professionalism" of Winged M) Team Bring Defense. Carrol C. Seeley, former Williams and Multnomah football star, takes umbrage at Intimations of "profes sionalism" leveled at the Winged M. eleven by Coach W. J. Warner, of the University - of Oregon, in the fol lowing communication: Portland, Dec 1j (Sportlnj Editor Oregonlan.) Regarding' the comment of W. J. Warner, football coach of Oregon Uni versity, regarding- the defeat of his team by Multnomah Thanksgiving day. In which he says he did not expect nl team to beat a "band of professionals." It seems that his statement is untimely, coming as It does after Oregon was outclassed In every de partment of the game and decisively de feated. Warner knew the status of the Multnomah Club and all the players as well before the game as after, and despite his post mortem squeal, Oregon lost to Multno mah as they lost to Washington, for the simple reason that they were outplayed. In both games they put up a game up-hill fight and deserve great credit deeplte the unsportsmanlike attitude of their coach. CARROL C SEBlBT. BOXERS SLAP AT PROMOTERS Portland Athletes Say They Fall to Get Coin for Performance. Portland sporting folk who attended Wednesday's exhibition melange at the Armory went away much disgusted, but the participants take a turn now. Nearly a score of Portland athletes "ex hibited" more or less, of their prowess In the arena and, according to several of the boys, no money has as yet been produced for their services. Tommy Ryan, boxing Instructor at the Multnomah Club, who was billed as one of the beadllners In a boxing exhibition, adds fuel to the furore. "These promoters have put me In bad through their silly matching and mis leading advertising," declared the ex middlewelght champion last night. "Billy Ryan, promoter, whom I knew slightly In the East, came to me sev eral days before and asked me as a fa vor If I would appear for hlraj I con sented to go on, although ordinarily It would have taken $1000 to have got me on the platform. "I figured on giving a nice exhibi tion, using Frits Holland as sparring partner, but when Holland wired that he could not come from San Francisco, these promoters went ahead, used, my name on a telegram and got the big coon, "Denver Ed" Martin down from Taco'ma," added Tommy. "If It hadn't been that I had given my word to appear and was billed I would have called things off right there. Such uneven matching Is ri diculous. And to mako matters worse, the coon couldn't stand up and box. He wanted to back away all the time. I fought but one negro before In my career, Frank Craig, champion of Eng land, and I wouldn't have gone in against him were It not for the fact that my manager had posted $2500 be fore I knew It.

Oregon University lost to Washington 29-8 and the Ore gon Aggies lost 84-0; Oregon Univer sity won from Whitman 8-6 and Ore gon Aggies won from the Missionaries 6-3; both Oregon elevens' defeated Washington State 6-0. On the whole, though, the Corvallls season has been more prosperous In the percentage ta ble, for Sam Dolan"s men won their only Important non-conference clash with Willamette University 5-3, while Warner's chargers lost their big Thanksgiving niixing with Multnomah 17-6. It Is to be sincerely, hoped that an other year will find the two big Oregon Institutions vying again on the ath letlo field, for paper championships and those based upon comparative scorings are most unfair and altogether unsat isfactory. Both Oregon University and the champion Washington elevens will be Badly decimated by King Sheepskin and eligibility bars by the time another football season rolls nigh. Seven of Doble's mightiest stars will be shorn from the flock Warren, Grimm, Cap tain Coyle, Melville Mucklestone, Tom Wand and Linemen Wynn, Pullen and Husby. Patton, Bliss.

Of the Oregon machine the three leading upholders of the lemon-yellow have answered their final football roll call Captain Main, Quarterback La tourette and Center Kellogg.

"Biddy" says the Tacoma franchise is for sale at approximately 17000 or $8000. . Keck, the wonderful punting full back on the 1910 Oregon Agricultural College eleven, probably will join tha Multnomah forces for the two big Christmas and New Years? games with the Seattle Athletic Club huskies. Last Fall Keck was the unanimous choice of the critics for the all-North-woatoro frh and if the bier fellow comes into the fold the Winged M can boast of the most remarkable assort ment of kicking talent ever gathered together under one tent. "I am sending contracts to Tom Mc Donald tonight and guess everything is cinched for the holiday contests," said Dow Walker, Multnomah Manager, yesterday. DOLuVV AT BRAVES GO HOOT Oregon Agricultural College Team Passes Through Portland. Coach Sam Dolan and his Oregon Agricultural College football eleven passed yesterday in Portland, en route to Corvallls from its victorious 6-3 as sault on Whitman College. The play which won the game In the last half was one of the most unique of the season, consisting of four passes In the backfleld, giving Ave of the men time to race down the field and recover the kick on the fourth pass as It passed the 20-yard limit. "Niles was practically the whole show for Whitman," stated Coach Do lan. "Reynolds, the Oregon quarter back, as usual, was one of the stars of the day. I think we were entitled to win over Whitman, although the teams were about evenly matched in weight." New Albany School Societies Formed. ALBANY, Or., Dec 1. (Special.)
