Is.h that the new scheme would be carried. President Baum favored the adoption -of two umpires for each (came and was backed up by Henry Berry, the orlic lnal booster for the double umpire plan. There waa a discussion of the merits of the scheme and. as It waa generally air ted that the public was In favor of such a step, there was no dissenting vote when It came to a final "show down." President Baum has already an nounced his Intention of reappointing the present staff, consisting of George Hlldebrand. Eugene McGreevy and E. V. Finney and will name the other three men from the Iorg list of appli cants. No necessity for haste la ap parent and the exceutlve of the league will doubtless take his time before an nouncing further appointments. - ft baa been generally agreed that there Is less danger of trouble where there are two umpires to the game. One man cannot possibly see all of the plays and very frequently a play that the umpire misses results In the wrong decision. A slap waa given to gambling in the nature of a resolution unanimously adopted. The resolution calls upon the league officials to bring to the atten tion of the authorities In every league city of any betting on ball games, with the Idea of preventing the practice. It is set forth In the resolution that bet ting has a bad effect on baseball and that the powers will use every effort to co-operate with the police to stamp It out. Also, the league directors promised that they woul'l use Individ ual efforts to stop gambling In every possible form. Hereafter there will be no occasion for the visiting clube to kick at the balls that are thrown out to them for use In the game. The chief umpire will have charge of the balls. It was voted that on every league grounds the um pire will be provided with a sunken oak box or a heavy grip In which the 13 balls for use during the game are to be placed, after a thorough Inspec tion. Also, when balls are returned to the field, the umpire will replace the same or direct that they be re placed. In the past some one In the employ ft he home club has had charge of the balls and It has frequently happened that mushy balls have been tossed cut to the diamond Just when they would do the most harm. Neither Frank Ish. of Pan Francis co nor Ed Walter, of Oakland, was able to be present at the morning ses sion of-he directors, but they were represented by proxies. Much of the time waa given over to the Internal business of the league, such as pro rating mileage and the like. Evidently ex-Judge McCredle decided not to press his plan to-drop Sunday morning baseball In Vernon. An op portunity was given the Portland mag nate to take up this subject but he had nothing to aay. Happy Hogan had taken such a strong stand to defend the Sunday morning games In the southland, that t ts evident McCredle thought It would be a waste of time to enter bis protest. ' A late session waa held tonight at which the difficult task of arranging the schedule of games for next season was commenced. When the Coast League delegatea adjourned tonight It was without com ing to a final conclusion as to the adoption of an official league ball, or ;the settlement of the schedule. These natters will come up for nnal disposi tion at a meeting of the league that will be held In Los Angeles Monday. January . It was at the earnest solic itation of Berry and Hap Hogan that the league directors decided to gather In Los Angeles for a session. -. There were a number of reasons for postponement of action as regards the .league ball and the schedule. First and foremost, there Is a chance that Cal Ew.ng would like to have a chance at the schedule. Ex-Judge McCredle has submitted a form of schedule that "wl'.l be considered by the league mem bers, who will be ready to vote In -January. !irKPHY WOCLD CHANGE RCXES t Chicago Base-ball Magnate Would t : Name Committee? to K-t1k Code. run t Th elimination Cliiv-Auu. . v . - - of what he terms antiquated rules from ', the baseball code will be one of the suggestions of President Charles W. Murphy. of the Chicago National ; League club, at the meeting In New York next week. Murphy would appoint a rules com- ' mlttee for the purpose of going through i the present code and weeding out auch clauses as appear to be dead Issues and which are not enforced by the umptres. He proposes to ask that a committee composed of four umpires, two from ' each of the big leagues, and three baseball writers well versed in the present deficiencies of the rules. re appointed for thla purpose. According to the plan, the league magnates would be given no final vote In the matter. Murphy says be believes It la the fault of the club owners that the code In use has not kept pace wtth the game. Commenting on the proposed change. Cmrlre Hank ODay said: -It Is Impossible for an umpire to enforce any rule as now laid down, and hence If they are not followed they should be stricken from the rules." Norway Hire Coach. NEW TORK.

Each Grammar School Organisation Makes One tioal and Plays Con sistently Throughout, The first, match In the Grammar School Soccer League yesterday after noon on the Multnomah Field resulted In a one-goal tie between Alnsworth and Glencoe. - The Alnsworth team ahowed. the greater knowledge of the game and on the day's play deserved a better result, but all credit must be given to Glen coe for the exhibition they put up. as they have not had the experience of their opponenta at soccer. In the first half Peck opened the scoring for Glencoe with a long drop ping shot, after Alnsworth had had the greater portion of the play, while In the second half the latter scored the equalising goal through W. Thorse af ter a hot attack. Both teams played the game In the right spirit, hot tackling, with no ques tioning of the referee's decisions, but all the youngsters must learn to keep In their places. Then they will find that better results will accrue with only half the amount of energy. The line-up: Alnsworth. Oleneoe.

BILLY HOGG, an eccentrlo young fellow whose home was at Pueblo, Colo., was brought to the Coast by D. E. Dugdala to play with Seattle In 101. He waa one of the few pitchers who, after breaking an arm In throw ing a ball, recovered and pitched better ball afterwards. Hogg died at his Pueblo home three years ago. It was In 101. while pitch ing for Seattle against Portland here that he broke his pitching arm In at tempting to throw to the batsman. This retired him from the game that season, but In 101 he again reported to Seattle and pitched fine ball. Thla was the year of the baseball war. and he waa Induced to Jump Dugdale and Join the Portland Paclflo Coast team. Hogg pitched consistent ball for Portland that season and helped bring the local club out of the last place, rut. His pitching attracted the atten tion of Eastern magnates, and he was landed by the New Tork Americana. He pitched successfully several years for the Yankees. In fact he was a member of that club when he died of pneumonia. While with Portland. Hogg waa noted for his eccentricities, and in his career with both Portland and Seat tle teams he was frequently disciplined by the management. On one occasion he had a fist fight with Dugdale. which waa the real cause of his Jumping the Seattle club. In August, 101. his failure to take care of himself caused hla sus pension by Portland, whereupon he re turned to his home In Colorado, the next year going to the big league. NICK WILLIAMS IS BUSY WITH PLANS Arrangements Will Be Made for Northwesterners to Train in South. PLAYERS ARE NOT NAMED Roadster Oiler Is Silent About HI 191 Lineup Babe Thornton Will Bo One or Joe Cohn's Indians. Now that Portland's Northwestern League team la a aettled fact, Nick Williams can go ahead with the sign ing of his 111 team. Both President McCredle and Mana ger Williams have held frequent con ferences of late regarding the improve menu to be made In the Northwestern team and both are quite tfptlmlstlc over the prospects for the coming season. Williams got off to a poor start last season, but made quite a record at the finish. Williams figures' next season to have a fast young team In the field and be lieves that hla club will be in the race from the beginning. One thing that la expected to help his chances is the fact that his club will train In Califor nia. Both McCredle and Williams are tacitly agreed upon this and are look ing to Salinas as the place to commence the training atunts of the Northwestern League Colts. According to present plana, Nick will begin working out his players at Salinas two weeks after Walter McCredle's braves start the pre liminary work at Santa Maria, and this may result in a training season game betweon the two Portland clubs, for the distance between Salinas and Santa Maria ia not great. It (a also planned to play an exnioi tlon game between the two teams here In Portland on the first Monday after the Beavers officially open the Pacific Coast League season here. Williams Is non-committal on tne subject of players at present.. He does not care to say whether any of the re served players of last season's club will be released or retained until he is satisfied of the number of players he will s:et from Walter McCredle a array of Pacific Coast League talent. Before leaving for California ex-Judge McCre dle announced that he "might ask for waivers on certain players in the Bea ver ranks at present, but would make no definite statement on this subject. At any rate, the McCredies and vt m- lams are going to use every effort to make a success of the Northwestern team and they believe that It can be made to break even financially at the very least. The club proved a losing oroDOsltion last year, but the miserable start it made was greatly responsible for that, as well as the fact that the club played so many weeks at Victoria. When the Northwestern League meets next week McCredle Intends to Insist uDon a more favorable schedule than was Portland's portion last year. n.h- TKnmton the annilar vounff -i - n U -.4 lt-h.i- .nil mil. piajvi " , ' " lty lnflelder and outfielder for Sacramen to laat season, has oeen traaea to tne Spokane club of the Northwestern League ror victor oim. me "inaian" twlrler. Holm is a big right-hand pitcher and was one of the best men in the Northwestern League last season. He had a tryout with the Chicago White Sox In 1910, but failed to stick in the big brush. www It is not generally believed that Charles Comlskey, of the Chicago American League team, will offer any objection, to Fielder Jones accepting the presidency of the Northwestern League. Jonea waa allowed to play with the Chehalis team, in tne south western Washington League, In 110, so his acceptancy of the presidency of the Northwestern organisation is not likely to bother "Comray" to any ex tent, While the Cincinnati club Is noted for possessing several players whose habits are more or less uncontrollable, rumor haa It that a large part of the dissension prevalent In that club laat aeason waa due to the addition of two Cuban players to the ranks. Some of the Reds are said to nave resented the actions of the dark-skinned islanders In carrying valets with them all the time. A baseball player with a valet la calculated to abock the rest of the bunch. ... . "Red" Dooln. the clever leader of the Philadelphia National League team, is threatening to retire from the game. Dooln Is dissatisfied with the balking of some of the deals he contemplated pulling off and Is desirous of quitting baseball because there is no chance of his getting away from Philadelphia. Dooln experienced hla first year as a major league club leader last aeason and did such good work that he Is rated aa one of the best In the game. a a Danny Long, manager of the Seals, Is dickering with St. Louis and Phila delphia for the acquisition of a couple of new pitchers for next season. Long says that Pitcher Melkle will not do; that he can depend only upon Henley, of last season's club, which leaves him In need of at least three or four good ones to help out the 111 Seals. ... Bill Rodgers writes that on a recent hunting trip he succeeded in killing the largest black bear ever seen In the Rogue River Valley. He Is proud of the feat and sent the skin of the fallen monarch to a friend In Portland to have It preserved. v ... Buddy Ryan Is figuring on leaving Portland for Denver some time next week. Buddy is anxioua to spend the holidays with his folks In the Colorado metropolis. Buddy has not been home Christmas In two years. George Wheeler, whom a San Fran cisco writer calls "the model ball player," has applied for a position aa umpire In the Pacific Coast League. Wheeler may have been a model ball player, but that depends upon what Is meant by model. However, he waa not any worse as an umpire-baiter than waa George Hildebrand, and therefore may make as good an umpire as Hil debrand, who la one of the best offi cials the Coast has ever produced. ELEVEX ABAXDOXS PRACTICE High School Air-Stars Will Jfot Play Multnomah Clnb. Seattle's failure to send an all-star high school team to meet the Port land all-stars next Saturday resulted In the "no-game" sign being hung over Multnomah Field, for yesterday the Portland high school lads decided not to continue practice for a substitute game with the Multnomah Club eleven. The boys themselves were to take over the management of this proposed affray, the entire receipts to go for a banquet for the coach and for the sweaters or gold watch fobs for the lads. They voted the proposition down, however, likewise a counter offer by the Columbus Club. The Columbus Club may line up against Multnomah December K, ' al though no agreement haa yet been signed. . BEES, MANAGER SCORES POIXT Wattelet Signs Six-Foot Marvel tra der Hogan'a Xose. SAN JOSE, Cal., Dec 7. (Special.) L. A. Wattelet, president of the Victoria club in the Northwestern League, put one over on Los Angeles and Vernon, of the Coast League, when he obtained the signature of young Erbln Kantleh ner to a Victoria contract today. For the past year Kantlehner, who Is but 10, has loomed in the brush leagues in this section and Los An geles and Vernon scouts have been after him. He is six feet one Inch In height, weighs 190 pounds and has no bad habits. Liquor has no temptations for him and he does not smoke. He's rangey, has a world of "smoke" and is a fine hitter. He comes from the school which turned out Hal Chase, Harry Wolter and other players now In the major leagues. . Wattelet arrived in San Jose today from the southland, where he at tended the baseball conference and paid his respects to Elmer Emerson, who as a pitcher Is well known in the North western Coast League. Emerson rec ommended Kantlehner highly and said that Wattelet was lucky to sign him. "He looks like a player' who will go to the top," said Emerson. Wattelet has been making arrange ments for Spring training quarters here, which is within easy traveling distance from San Francisco and Oak land and but three miles from Santa Clara College. If he decides finally on thla city, practice games with the crack teams of St. Mary's College. Santa Clara, can easily be arranged also with the Coast League teams of San Francisco and Oakland. ROLE CHANGES CERTAIN WALTER CAMP LATEST TO AD VOCATE NEW DEAL. Editor of Guide Book GlTea Wert Xo Consideration in Picking Ills All-American Team. Football is to be thoroughly reno vated before the Fall of 1912; all the signs point to that. Walter Camp, dean of the gridiron experts and editor of the guide book. Is the latest convert to a modification of the forward pass and the lessening of the distance to be gained from 10 to 7 'or 8 yards on an Increase in the downs to 4. Camp came out for the alterations in announcing his ail-American team, which, as usual with most Eastern se lections, almost entirely ignores the West. Camp's first eleven Is made up entirely of Eastern players, as follows: Ends Whit. Princeton; Bomelster, Yale. Tackles Hart. Princeton; Devore, Army. Guards Fisher. Harvard; Duff. Prince ton. Center Ketcham. Yale. Quarter Howe. Yale. Halves Wendell. Harvard; Thorp.. Car- llxle. Fullfsck Dalton, Navy. Camp places his son, Walter Camp, Jr., of the Yale squad, as halfback on the second string, and from all ac counts the youngster deserved the honor. Camp honored three Middle Western ers in 1910, Walker, of Minnesota, at tackle; Benbrook. Michigan, guard, and Wells, Michigan, end. This Fall the "Big Eight" must be contented with two on the second eleven, Scruby. of Chicago, at Guard, and Rosenwald, of Minnesota, at fullback. Only two men are holdovers from Camp's last year's team. Fisher, at guard, and Wendell, at half, both Har vard men. ... The inefficiency of the present "sights unseen" method of choosing all-American football squads is graph ically Illustrated by a comparison of the teams selected by Walter Camp and by Dr. H. L. Williams, coach at the University of Minnesota, another of the foremost gridiron men of the day. Williams chooses four Middle West ern men, while Hart. White. Howe and Wendell are the only four men on whom the two experts agree. All-star teams are at best theoretical, but it would seem that the author of the "of ficial" eleven. If he hoped to retain that proud position, should mingle around and see at least the leading teams of both the East and West in ac tion. The Northwest has no personal griev ance coming, for none of Its gladiators would probably rank up with Howe, Wendell. Hart, White, or "Big Chief Thorpe, atlll the anomoly remains. Camp, it Is rumored, wljl give honor able mention to Mucklestone. of Wash ington; Main. of-Oregon, and Niles. of Whitman, in the 111 edition of his football resume. ... Gate receipts at the Thanksgiving day game in Spokane, when Wenatchee won the championship of the state. t-S. totaled 12900. or $100 more than was taken in at the Washington-Washington State College game a year ago. The Washington-Idaho and the Wash ington State-Whitman games this Fall fell under $1100. ... The Northwest harbors three holders of Olympic field and track champion ships. Archie Hahn. coach at Whitman College: Forrest Smlthson, local club athlete and Oscar Osthoff. coach at Washington State College. Their rec ords are as follows: 80-meter dash. 7 s.conds. Hahn. St Louis. 2(0-meter dash. 21 8-S seconds. Hahn, bi. l"-meter hurdle. IS seconds. Smlthson, Dumb-bell competition, Osthoff, St. Louis. An investigation of the full quota of Olympic records shows that of 38 events the United States holds 22, Eng land seven, Sweden three, Canada two, Greece two, Austria one . and South Africa one. The sensational sprinter is the South Africa title holder. Walker running in the 100-meter dash in' the time of 10 4-5 seconds. AMATEUR ATHLETICS TT SSEMBLIES were held at Lincoln, A JefTerson and Washington high schools yesterday at which the com mittees chosen at the different schools took steps to arrange an agreement be tween the principals and the students. Resolutions were read before each of the student bodies promising to do all In their power to prevent clashes be tween the rival students after games. Washington High School is prepar ing for one qf the best years in track the school has ever had. Last sea son's team was successful and most of Its members are in school. Prom ising material is also available. John son will try out for the discus, while McLaren. Xrom Salem, a quarter mller. took second place in the state meet last Summer.

COACHES LOSE JOBS Warner and Osthoff Sure to Be Replaced Next Year. AGGIES WANT BENDER BACK Former Tutor Who Mad Enemies by . Hig Stern Football Methods, but "Made Good" Without Doubt, Alumni Choice. . Conference colleges will see two new football coaches In the Northwest next Fall, at Oregon and at Washington State College. W. J. Warner has al ready retired at Oregon after a two years' session, but Coach Osthoff has been quietly drumming up a renewal of his two-year contract at the Pull man institution. Now the alumni have stepped forward with an emphatic "no." "Osthoff has not made good with some of the best material that ever turned out at Washington State; we want Johnny Bender back," is the gist of the alumni demands. Bender stirred up many enemies while at Pullman in 106 and 1907 because of arbitrary tac tics, but he did make good. He lost but one game in the two years, that to Idaho as a result of over-confidence, and appears to be one of the few men capable of giving Dobie a run for his money. For the last two seasons Bender has been coach at St. Louis University and a 9-0 defeat by Illinois was the only blur on St. Louis' record of ten games. Bender closed the season with a mem orable 6-6 tie with Syracuse, which defeated Carlisle, 12-11, and tied Michigan, 6-6. St. Louis' scores for the Fall are as follows: St. Louis.. 11 Shurtleff 0 Girardeau 8 Drury 0 Illinol, '9 Ie Pauw . O Rolla 6 Haskell 0 Missouri .......... 0 Springfield 0 Syracuse 6 St. Louis 22 St. Louis 13 St. Louis 0 Ft. Louis 0 St. Lou I. 24 Bt. Louis IS Et. Louis 0 St. Louis 29 St. Louis 6 .

The suggestion has been made that Bender hold down both the coachship and the general managership of ath letics which now pay $1500 and S1800, respectively. ... ' Tom McDonald's Seattle club football team which meets Multnomah Christ mas In Seattle and New Year's in Fort land, boasts of four former University of Washington captains, Coyle, Muck lestone, Tegtmeier and McDonald. Multnomah will hold its next prac tice Sunday morning. Next week some time the directors expect to make ar rangements for a coach or trainer for the team. Perle Casey, former Portland second sacker. denies that he belongs to the Tacoma Northwestern League team de spite the fact that his name appears on the Tacoma reserve list. Casey Is undecided where he will cast his lot In 1912. He lives here.
