Captain Bill Rodgers- broken ankle may have slowed him up the forepart of the year, but he Is still good to his wife and he can still sting- the ball. His triple, followed by Krueger's single In the eighth inning yesterday, broke up a beautiful 1-to-l tie, and a pitcher with a polysyllabic name viz., Hig ginbotham won a sensational and Justly earned game over Oakland, 2 to 1. Htgginbotham was as tight as a hob ble skirt after he got warmed up. He was outpitched the first four innings by "Bud" Pernoll. but after that not a Commuter registered a safe hit and only two reached first base. It was Hig.'s double, too, a few inches inside the first base line, that tied the score in the seventh inning. Baker had pre ceded by a slash through Tiedemann. Oaks' Lead Cot Down. Thus it is that Oakland's lead In the Coast pennant race reverts to three and one-half games over Los Angeles, while Portland can crow ovei two vic tories out of three In the last home series. One game will be played today, and two Sunday, so if the Beavers grab one of the trio the worst they can get is an even break. The last ladles' day of the year found nearly 2000 gay bits of pulchritude huddled in the capacious stands. As a consequence the players were on dress rehearsal, and even the newspaper men in the press box disported gaudy head gear and fountain pens. There was just enough excitement sprinkled through the nine Innings to alleviate the call for footwarmers. The Oaks filled the bases twice in the third Inning, an infield single and two bunts doing the preliminary work, but, although nobody was out, one run was all they could squeeze in. Pernoll singled through second, Leard and Ab bott both beat out puny attempted sac rifices to shortstop, Bancroft retired Abbott at second on Zacher's grounder and Pernoll scored. Coy walked, fill ing the bases and Hetling lined out to Krueger, who drove Leard back to third by a swell throw to the plate. Cook forced Zacher at third, retiring the side. Tiedemann Saves Rnm. Portland also Jammed the bases in the third inning on Higginbotham's initial single, an error by Cook and Rodgers" hit to Hetling. but with two out Tiedemann speared a drive off Krueger's stick and flagged impending danger. It was an uphill battle for Portland from that on until the seventh or "stretch" inning. Hugh Fullerton, the Eastern expert, examined 800 box scores last Winter and found that 184, or a fifthi of the games were decided in the seventh inning. He discovered that the superstition is responsible for the luck rather than the other way around, for the home team won in 151 of the 184. Whether or not the wild rooting in the boxes had any psychological effect or not is problematical. Suffice to say Higgtnbotham tied the score with his two-bagger into right field, and when Rodgers came to bat as first man up in the eighth. Right Fielder Coy tried to do a scooping act on his drive and Rodgers landed at third on what should have been a single. Krueger did the rest. Abbott, Mitze, Rodgers, .Hlggin botham and Pernoll negotiated spark ling plays in the field. The score:.

Notes of the Game. Speck Harknesa will twirl today's game against the Oaks. Either Gregory or Kllli lay will be In the points for Oakland. Dan Howley Is now a regular first base man. When the good-natured Irishman missed Abbott's foul In the seventh Inning, ha glowered upwards at the sun. Un fortunately the sun has peeped for some days, so everybody laughed. Rodgers retired Hetling in the second in ning on a wonderful play. He knocked down Hetllng's liner with one hand and recovered In time to get him after a perfect throw. Bill Is being cheered now every time he comes up to bat. Howley secured one hit yesterday but Pernoll robbed him of another by a contor tion stop and throw that was spectacular. Sunday's double-header will start at 1:50 with Klawltter and either Suter or Koest ner doing slab duty for Portland. Chiis tlon, Gregory and Klllilay are the regular Oak fllngera who will handle the remain ing games of the series. ANGELS HAMMER JESS BAKER Levcrens Proves Steady Score, of Contest Is 7 to 2.

This lineup will give Oregon Agricul tural College a slightly heavier team than represented the college last year. These men will average not less than 165 pounds, while last year's team av eraged but little over 160 pounds to the man. WOMAX EXPERT WILL SWIM Mrs. Soederer, Who Crossed San Francisco Bay, Is In City. Mrs. Beulah Soederer, of Santa Cruz, Cal., whose remarkable record swim of San Francisco Bay last Sunday brands her as one of the best women swimmers In the world. Is a Portland visitor. She will give an exhibition before the Mult nomah Club juniors at 10 A. M. today. Mrs. Soederer swam San Francisco Bay. a distance of a little more than four miles. In 2 hours, 27 minutes and 38 seconds, last Sunday, dipping many minutes from the time of 3 hours and minutes made by Miss Nell Schmidt, who up to that time was hailed as the greatest woman swimmer in the world. "I have no desire to compete against Miss Schmidt for a swimming cham pionship." said Mrs. Soederer last night regarding a challenge issued by her aquatlo rival. "However, I would be glad to have her try to beat my time. If she lowers the time 1 shall swim the bay once more." The new trans-bay woman champion is a former pupil of Arthur Cavill. Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club in structor, who was the first man to swim across the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay. Cavill was formerly swimming instructor at Santa Cruz, where he taught Mrs. Soederer the ru diments of the game and often took her on eight-mile swimi In the ocean. Mrs. Soederer and her husband, Gus Soederer, a railroad engineer, arrived in Portland yesterday and plan to leave today. Injury Hampers Miss Curtis. MANCHESTER. Mass., Oct. 4.

C. S0J. OBiawawawawawawssBaMsjsBSsaaO While baseball statistics, eagerly scanned by fandom in a search for cor roborative world's series argument. show that the New York Giants are superior to the Boston Red Sox in the base-stealing department ot tne na tional game, it cannot but be conceded that in the more important matter of pitchers the American Leaguers are better bulwarked. Boston has four pitchers whose rec ords would indicate that they can hold their own against the Giants. These men are Wood, Collins, Bedient and O'Brien. New York's three prospects are Mathewson, Tesreau and Marquard. A Mathewson of a few years ago or a Marquard of the early 1918 season would undoubtedly add sufficient strength to New York to place them on a level with Boston as a betting proposition, if not install McGraw's club favorite. But since Marquara s won derful winning streak was broken on July 8 he has degenerated into a mediocre performer, losing more gamas than he has won. Mathewson, who was equal to repeating on the second day seven, years ago against Boston, is now only a great pitcher for five or six in nings, and is then only an average slab ster, and capable of only two pitching duels in a world's, series. Teareast tst Jilmellgrkt. This leaves Jeff Tesreau, the big splt- ball heaver of the Giants, the man upon whom the hopes of New York fans are cantered. His ability to stand up under the terrific strain of a world's series, and, the efficiency of bis delivery against batsmen wno nave neia tneir own against the redoubtable Ed Walsh, are matters of grave conjecture. Tesreau is a wonderful pitcher in a league which frowns upon the spitball artist. On the other hand, he is to pit "eel" ball against batsmen who encoun ter the unsanitary spitter every few lavs during a season. The series will determine whether Tesreau is a really great spitball pitcher or only a great one In a league where opposition is weak. Taking it for granted that National League batters fall prey to the spitball easier than the Americans, "Buck" O'Brien, the Boston spitball hurler, should make as good if not a Detter showing against New York than Tes reau will against Boston, and this des pite the fact that his record for the season is not nearly so good as that of Granting, for the sake of argument, that O'Brien, who ranks third if not fourth in the Boston mound quartet of hoDes." is eaual to Tesreau, the Big "hope" of the Giants, it is not so diffi cult to understand why baseball people have installed the Red Sox warm fa vorites over the Giants for the 1912 world's baseball title. Mathevraom la Mainstay. Despite his wan'ng strength Christy Mathewson, the peerless "Big Six," will undoubtedly be the New York box mainstay during the titanle baseball struggle. He may prove no better than last year, but his cunning, ability to husband his strength and uncanny knowledge of the batting weaknesses of his opponents, makes him the logl oal twirling leader of the Giants. It does, not seem unlikely, in view of the uncertainties of the Giant staff, that Crandall. the Giant victor of last season, Ames or Wiltse will be called upon in an effort to stem the tide 01 New York defeat But as to the Boston pitching staff. It is headed by Joe Wood, the peer of Walter Johnson, who had won 82 games in 40 starts up to the middle of Septem ber, and been charged with only four defeats. He pitched 316 1-3 innings, a trifle more than 35 full nine-Inning games, has allowed 246 hits, or seven to the game. That these were usuany well scattered is shown by the run column, only 93 men having made the round trip. Less thap three runs to each nine innings. Granting that the Giants are stronger hitters than the average American League batters, it is bard to figure how they can count on making more taan three runs per game off Wood, as he will undoubtedly go at top speed from bell to bell. ' Wood Has Good Record. Reference has been made in the pub lic prints concerning Wood's wildness. It is said that the batter frequently has him in the hole to tne extern 01 three and nothing. There is a measure of truth in this, but in the S16 Innings of this season to September 16 he has given only 78 bases on balls, which is eauivalent to one every four innings. and 239 strikeouts have been regis tered, of which a considerable number were the result of the batter taking a chance on that fourth ball. Wood's best assets are his terrific speed and a good curve. His slow ball cannot be considered effective, especially against a team like the National League cham pions. Among the slabmen of Boston, Ray Collins ranks an easy second to Wood. Had not one-half the season passed be fore he attained his true form, his work would nave attracted .much more at tention from the fans. Sipce July 1 only 29 runs have been scored off him In 14 games. He has defeated the Ath letics three times, Washington once and Chicago three times. The White Sox Inflicted the only defeat he has suf fered from a first-division team since July 1, when they won the game of Aus-ust 28 with Walsh on the slab. Col lins has excellent control, as 20 bases on balls, two hit batsmen and no wild pitches in 164 Innings shows. royie, Meyers, Becker "and Merkle will need be at their best when they face Collins. There Is a division of opinion among those best posted concerning who Man ager Stahl will select as the third man for his twirling corps. Some favor Hugh Bedient, with his terrific speed and good control, while others choose O'Brien and his spitball. If O'Brien is not chosen as first aid to Wood and Collins, Bedient unaouot edly will be. Slated for another season in the minors, his class was discovered during the training trip, and he made good from the beginning. He has beaten tha Athletics three times during the season, and when the White Sox drove Wood to the Dencn in a game in uuiy, - 1 - 1 . V im ohnrl ne came ou auu oiuiiicu Rncause the score was in favor of Bos ton when Wood was taken out, he was officially credited with the victory in stead of Bedient. AMERICAX LEAGUE.
