Excitement and goala came fast In the Portland Academy versus Jefferson soccer game on the Columbua Field yesterday, which ended in a -S tie. The Academy boys opened tba scoring when the game had been In progress a quarter of an hour. Ten minutes later came th most sensational bit of scor ing seen this year. The Academy for wards took the ball down the field in a line to score number two. Straight from the klckoff went Llnd. the Jeffer son center, to reduce their lead. With in another minute Portland Academy had regained that lead, only to see th gap lessened again a second later. At half time th Portland Academy bad a goal to the good, but th bot tom end of the field had by that time been reduced to a quagmire, not only causing great difficulty to the backs in kicking, but also giving the other side the advantage of playing down hill at the best time. Consequently It wss not surprising to see Jefferson do the greater part of the attacking, their efforts being rewarded by the equaliser with about ten mlnutea left for play. Coe. Closse.

The popular leader ia Immensely pleased with the outlook lor next season. "The schedule gives us ten weeks at borne Instead of nine as last year, the teama will be more evenly balanced and the umplrea will be good," said he. "Thla man Toman, is almost as good an arbiter aa Hlldebrand, in my Judgment, and Van Haltren and Moran should be able to get away fine up here." The Pacific Coast League's Innovation of numbering the players for the Il lumination of the fans seems to be attracting a great deal of favorable notice all over the East, where, despite the costly and Intricate bulletin board systems, there seems to be a field for a similar arrangement. The New York Sun puts In an urgent plea for the adoption of the plan In the major leagues. "There Is not the slightest doubt among those whose business necessi tates a close following of big athletic events that a similar custom should be adopted In the East." says the Sun. "It Is a safe prediction to say that not SO per cent of the spectators at big football, hockey and similar contests know one player from another. "The average programmes Issued at such meets are of little use, for not infrequently these programmes are printed a week or ten days In advance of the game and a score of circum stances may arise to prevent the orig inal line-up planned by captains or managera from playing. "What la needed in all forms of popular sporting events today Is a perfect system between scoreboard, programme and spectators, whereby every player can be distinguished, re gardless of his position on the field of play. Tbls reform or Innovation, call It what you may. has been needed for years and It appears to be the West erners who are not afraid to give the public what It wants these days, and. If the demand from far-coast baseball fans caused the putting into operation of the plan. Eastern 'promoters, with a far larger clientele, can afford to take a similar course." Aa the New York writer remarks the men and women who pay their money to witness varloua contests de serve the deepest consideration from those whose earnings depend upon the popularity of the sport. How frequently has your neighbor asked for the name of the man at bat. or the man who made the long run for a touchdown? Getting closer W home what is your first question upon enter ing the grandstand too late to hear the announcement of batteries? Ten to one It is: "Who is pitching today?" or "What are the batteries?" With each man numbered according to the figures opposite his name in the scorecards, baseball will be exempt from thla draw back. Ty Cobb, the rip-roarer from Roys ton. Ga., believes that Vean Gregg is a better pitcher than Marquard and New York Giant fans are cachinnating with all the mellowness of a cracked graphaphone record. The Georgia peach says: "Marquard shoved great form last season but did not make as good a record aa Gregg, although he was with the New York champions of the Na tional League while Gregg pitched for a club which escaped finishing in the second division by only a few gamea "The Giant southpaw won one more game than the former Portland star but his work In general la not up to that of the Nap pitcher. Marquard and Rucker are the star fllngers of the National, and Gregg, and Plang of the American." Cobb's views are sound, for Marquard worked for a team which played con sistently all season.

Portland representatives In the Northwestern touring trap shooting tournament were victorious in the shoot held here under the auspices of the Snohomish Gun Club this afternoon. Pete Holohan and W. A. Robertson captured th event by a score of 182 against 179 for the San Francisco cracks. This gives Portland two events of the nine so far shot. San Francisco has won the other seven, while Spo kane is still without a victory. To day's victory by Portland was due to the consistent shooting of w. A. Rob ertson, who went through the event with a good score in every frame, and while be was not high man for the day, it was his steadiness in the last frame which brought victory to his side, as several of the other shooters fell down at the finish. The shoot was held under the most adverse conditions encountered since the tour began. A driving rain storm prevailed throughout the afternoon and as the competing teams lined up for the last string a gale sprang up, making It exceedingly difficult to judge the flights of the clay pigeons as hurled from the traps. It was this wind which lost the match for the San Francisco team and also which caused the Spokane team to land third, for Ike Fisher and Less Reld missed many tar gets in the last 25 shot at. Fred Wlllet and Hugh Poston tied for first honor as individuals, as on the day's shoot. Each missed only six targets In the afternoon and these oc curred mostly after the arising of the wind.
