THE HORNING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12,' 1912. HEAVY FIELD COST GAME, SAYS Pfl'GRAW Giant Reader Says Sox Count Solely on Wood, Who, He Says, Is Weakening. ' PLAY TODAY HELD CRUCIAL Xew York Manager Says If He Wins Xext Game He Will Have Edge on Series Failure of Doyle to Hit in Pinches Deplored. BT JOHN J. M'GRAW. NEW YORK, Oct 11. (Special.) If we win tomorrow's gama i, still believe that we have an edge on the series. The Red Sox have built their whole plan of attack around Wood. They are putting it all up to him and they show it and play like It. I wish to take no credit from Wood. At the same time he did not pitch as well today as he did last Tuesday. I think he himself realized that he did not have the same speed, for he re sorted far more frequently to the use of his curve ball. Another point in his favor was the dark day, but the thins that helped him most of all was the condition of the field. It roust have been plain to all that saw the game that only sensational fielding behind him saved Wood at several-critical stages. Wagner made three great stops and Yerkes one. that would have been Impossible on dry grounds or a faster diamond. Wasner'a Plays Cot off Rons. Wagner's plays on Merkle . and Fletcher both came In the fifth Inning and deprived us of at least one sure run and perhaps more. If these drives had gone as hits, as they would have done on a dry day, we would have had one run in and a man on second and third with but one out. When Wagner threw out Devore by a fraction of a step In the eighth In ning he made another play which would have been imposible undei other weather conditions and which also might have affected our score. The grounds slowed up Harry McCor mick's hard smash in the seventh Just enough for Yerkes to knock it down with one hand and throw Fletcher out at the plate. On any sort of ground these stops were wonderful, but on dry grounds they would have been impos sible. We also made a couple of mistakes that hurt us. In the fourth Inning Meyers' high throw to catch Stahl stealing was unfortunate, as Stahl is not a fast man and ordinarily the Chief would have easily thrown him out. Even then he would not have scored if Tesreau had fielded Cady's hit. 1 thought that Jeff should have had the ball. Doyle's Failure Disappoints. . Of course," we missed several chances at the bat. With two men on bases in the sixth lining and Doyle, Snodgrass and Murray coming up our chances ap peared to be bright. As a matter of faet. Doyle's failure to hit up to his usual standard in the games we have played has handicapped us greatly and made a lot of difference. Larry is one of our stand-bys with the stick. He has driven home so many runs for the club this year' that every man on it has a feeling of confidence when he sees him go up to the plate In a pinch, yet this is the fourth time during the series that he has popped up with men on the bases. As I remember there was on one occasion a man on second and the other times men first and second with none out. We all know Larry and I feel sure, as do the players, that be fore long he will commence to hit up to his usual standard. Meyers hit one on the nose today in the second Inning which would have driven in a run had if not been for the Jumping catch by Lewis. If the Chief and Larry get away to a good start tomorrow we may not only win from the Red Sox. but beat them by a big score. Heraog'a Hitting Pleases. I want to give Herzog credit for his continued heavy hitting and his all around fine work. I can depend upon him to be In the fighting all the time and his aggressiveness helps to keep the other boys on their toes. Jack Murray made another catch to day such as we have come to expect of him. You will remember that I con sidered Murray a better fielder than Hooper. This series certainly has not caused me to change my opinion. Hooper had an opportunity to throw two men out at the plate since these games began and on both occasions he has made very ordinary throws. Ac cording to the figures Murray has out batted Hooper and accepted more chances in the field. Fletcher had another good day to day. His timely hit scored our only Tun and was also the only extra base hit that we got. As I mentioned be fore, Wagner robbed him of another hit by a piece of fancy fielding. Tesrean's Work Satisfies. As far as Tesreau's pitching goes. I figure that he did very well to hold a championship ball team to one earned run. I am perfectly satisfied with his work. Jeff also got a nice single. Wood is another pitcher that surely hits some. If it had not been for his batting, and that of Gardner, we might have had another tie game. I do not care to say Just who I shall pitch to morrow. As a matter of fact. I shall start the man who looks best to me Just before the game. I will say, how ever, that I believe that my team can beat any pitcher that Boston has with the exception of Wood, and I think that the next time we face him we will beat him too. He has Been pretty lucky to get away with the two games that he has won. I am far from discour aged simply because we are now one game behind. I can assure you that like John Paul Jones we have Just be gun to fight. We are going to give them a battle every step of the way, and moreover, we expect to win. JOHXSOX MAY SIGX TODAY Xegro Says He Is Ready to Fight McVey, Laugford and Flynn. CHICAGO, Oct 11. Jack Johnson announced today that he expects to sign articles tomorrow to fight Sam Langford and Sam McVey In Australia and Jim Flynn in Paris. Something in the neighborhood of $100,000 is In volved in the three bouts. He said he expected 155.000, with 15000 for train ing expenses and five round-trip tick ets to Australia as the consideration for the two fights there, and that Paris would pay at least $35,000 to see him battle with the Fueblo fire man. W. C Kelly, of Sydney, Australia, acting for Hugh Mcintosh, is due here tomorrow. Johnson said that articles would be signed when he and Kelly got together, and that he would close wlt.i Flynn's manager after signing up with Kelly. Trotting Team Breaks Record. LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct. 11. Another world's record was broken at the trot ting meeting here today when Uhlan, 1:58. and Lewis Forest. 2:064, owned by C. K. G. Billings, were sent out to lower the record for a pair of trotters to a pole. The original record stood at 2:07 until this pair of famous trot ters made the mile in 2:0S4, thus clip ping off four and one-balf seconds. Not a break was made during the trial, both horses working like machines. Mount Angel to Play Woodburn. MOUNT ANGEL. Or.. Oct. 11. (Spe cial.) Mount Angel College will open its football season here tomorrow, when it meets the Woodburn Athletic Club. Mount Angel twice defeated Woodburn last year. This year the athletio club has greatly strengthened its squad. Captain Fick announced that all of his men were in good conOitlon to meet the Woodburn team tomorrow. Jack Britton Wins Bout. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Jack Britton, the Chicago lightweight, cleverly de feated Leach Cross, of this city, in a ten-round bout here tonight. Britton had the better of every round. OREGON U PLAYS TODAY FIRST FOOTBALL- BATTLE OF YEAR IS WITH METHODISTS. Lcombinatton of Mishaps Militates Against University's Snowing on Eugene Gridiron. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or, Oct. 11. (Special.) Skepticism pervades the University of Oregon camp on the eve of the season's first football battle with Willamette tomor row, as the result of a combination of mishaps which has well-nigh annihi lated the first team backfield. Neither Sam Cook nor Harold Purdy, the two high school stars from Coeur d'AIene, Idaho, will be allowed to play, owing to being below grade in their studies. "Bill" Heusner, who has been making a remarkable showing in scrimmage contests all season, is the third regular backfield player who will-be out of to morow's game. A few nights ago he wrenched his knee so severely that his presence In the line-up is out of the question. Coaches Pinkham, Moores and Main have been sorely vexed to fill the places of these men, all of whom they have been counting on to withstand the onslaught of Coach Sweetland's eleven. Cook had cinched the fullback position on the first team, and Joe Jones has been recalled from right end to take this place. Jones played fullback the greater part of last season, but he lacks about 30 pounds of equalling Cook's weight. Anunsen, a second team player, will replace Jones at end. Purdy was to have been used inter changeably with Cornell at quarter back. Cornell will now assume the sole responsibilities of the position, but as the Portland boy Is not in the best of shape he may be relieved by "Bob" Kuykendall, a younger brother of Eb erle Kuykendall, a famous Oregon quarterback of half a dozen years ago. For Heusner's old position ar left half, Briedwell. a light but fast second team man, has been summoned. Another combination which may be tried calls for the playing of Captain Walker at. quarter Instead of half. In this event, Johnnie Parsons, the for mer Washington High School marvel, would be placed behind the line with Jones and Briedwell. One factor which will work against Oregon In tomorrow's game will be the shortness of the time of play. Coach Sweetland. of Willamette, is holding out for ten-minute quarters, claiming that he would be at a disadvantage in a lonerer game by reason of his lack of substitutes. .Sweetland will use practically the same line-up througn out the contest, but it is likely that all the promising men available will be played by Pinkham. R. N. Hockenberry, of Portland, has been chosen aa referee and R. L. Kirk, of Springfield, probably will be the se lection for umpire. This -is the first meeting in football between Willamette, and Oregon for four seasons. The Willamette squad arrived last night in charge of Coach snrAtind. who savs his team has no chance in tomorrow's game. Sweetland says he will be satisfied witn any mna of a close score. 1 The Oreaon line-up follows: Anun sen, right end; Bailey, right tackle: Fenton, right guara; uauiieia, cemer. Grout, left guard: Hall, left tackle; Bradshaw, left end: Cornell, quarter back: Walker (captain), right half; Briedwell, left half; Jones, fullback. TRAPMEN ARE INVITED X PORTLAND TO OFFER $1500 FOR 1913 COAST HANDICAP. Recent Successful Event Stirs City Scatter gun Experts to Seek Repetition of Tonrney. Portland may be the scene of the 1913 Pacific Coast Handicap, the ban ner meet in Pacific Coast trap shoot ing. At a special meeting of the Port land Gun Club last night, it was de cided to make a bid for the 1913 tourn ament, offering $1500, which estab lishes a new high-water mark for cash prizes at Western acatter-gun competi tions. Portland was the scene of the 1912 meeting, wmch was the most success ful in the history of Coast shoots. The Portland club offered $1000 in prizes, which, added to the $500 hung up by the Interstate Association, made the shoot worth $1500, $500 less than that planned for 1913. More than 125 shoot ers from all over the Coast, in addition to Eastern visitors competed. The date and scene of the 1913 meet will be decided upon at a meeting of the Interstate Association on December 12. Althoqgh Sacramento and Los An geles are already In the field for the tourney half a dozen members are fa vorable to Portland. President Culll son, of the Portland club, has been as sured that the handicap will come to this city for the second successive year upon application. In addition to the application for the Pacific Coast Handicap, the club de cided upon a series of monthly shoots, with $100 added money, starting on Sunday, October 27. The first shoot Is really In the nature of an experiment to determine the success of a prospec tive series, but there is little likeli hood that the monthly affairs will be discontinued. The October 27 shoot will consist of 10 la-bird events, with $10 added to each event. The Jackrabbit system of paying 10 cents each for target broken will prevail, with the prizes split EO per cent to the winner, 30 to second and 20 to third. J. W. Bowie. G. S. Rice, J. B. Mo Curdy and H. P. Borders were admitted to membership In the club last night. Matron Pleads Not Guilty. .

Oct. 11. (Special.) Boston grabbed back its advantage In the world's series today on . terrific smashing of Jeff Tesreau's speed and spit offerings during the early innings, almost lost when Joe Wood faltered under the atrain and cinched It by pounding in a run in 'the' ninth that made it 3 to 1 and broke New York's last hope. Two to one In the ninttt might not have been so bad, but 3 to 1, Wood settling again after three innings of the rickets, and gathering darkness all conspired to make the Giants hope less and they lost without dishonor and mijht have won providing a lot more hard luck alibis for the hot stove league this Winter. This series, which almost was con ceded to Boston before it started, is furnishing the If Club more material for barroom and otherwhere arguments than any ever before played for the championship of the world; which this season included New England. "If" Plays Bis; Part. If Wagner hadn't made two of the greatest stops of the season, if Mc Graw hadn't sent Fletcher to sure death at the plate. If in either the seventh or eighth Merkle had been able to hit a roundhouse with a locomotive the tale might have been much different. And, on the other hand, if Boston had had any luck at all in its hitting during the first five Innings, if John Murray, hero, hadn't pulled off one of his copy right back - somersault one - handed stabs, if the Red Sox had decided to bunt Instead of hit in the first inning, Tesreau would have been slaughtered. I have seen a lot of hard-hitting, but the way Boston banged Tesreau's fast ones and curves during those first five rounds was a revelation. They took a hop-skip-and-Jump at them, hit them hard and on the- line smashed and sent the ball screeching all around. Some landed safely, but the most of them were badly aimed. They hit him for five rounds, until with every screeching shell that they shot out it looked all over and Mr. Brush began to be fearful that they might shatter the concrete and Harry Stevens hurried his glassware to cover. Red Sox Rush Attack. On Individual plays New York was lucky to stave off the fierce assault of the Red Sox, who were playing the game as they played It this Summer in the American League rushing their attack. But the secret of it all was that both the generals failed and proved wrong in their line of attack and failed try ing the same thing. In the first in ning, when it appeared as if Tesreau would be slaughtered with two men on bases, noge out, and the game seeming ly decided, right there, with Speaker at bat, Stahl elected to have Speaker smash the ball instead of bunting. He wanted to roll up a commanding lead right at the start. The result was a double play'due to Fletcher's fast work and Speaker's lameness. Had Speaker bunted the result would have been two, sure, perhaps more, as Fletcher, play ing close, never could have touched the drive of Lewis, which he corraled from the deeper field. Giants Loee Beat Chance. Then in the sixth, with Wood slow ing up and losing the magnificence that had dazzled the Giants during the first five Innings, the Giants had the same choice, with men on first and second and Doyle at the bat, McGraw chose to have bis captain hit instead of bunt, he popped out and the chance was lost. Not criticising the leaders, because the second guess always is best, but in both cases it looked as if a bunt was the play. Perhaps the managers de cided against trying, to sacrifice be cause of the great speed of the oppo nents' pitcher, and probably well, in that game anything was possible. It was rather an odd game. Wood, the hero of the opening day, was sent back to recover the advantage lost in Boston, and for five Innings it looked as If New York- had about as much chance as a sober man has on the mid night special to Boston. During thai period the Red Sox were running at Tesreau's pitching and it seemed as if they would amass a bunch of runs In any inning. Fans Want Tesrean Removed. Part of the Giant rooters were cry ing out for McGraw to take out his young Giant, who is being made the goat of the series by having to face Wood. Then suddenly conditions changed and Just when it seemed as If they ought not to change, for the day was dark and threatening, muggy and overcast, and under the conditions it looked as if Wood's speed should get effective. The strain seemed to affect him and he slowed down in the sixth, after Tesreau and Devore had singled In succession. He was using speed to Doyle, who tried to win Instead of tie, popped out and broke the rally. From that time Wood was in dis tress and in the seventh it seemed as If he hadn't much after striking out Merkle. An odd little Incident right there had its effect. Herzog seemed help less with the dark ball, but fouled it into the stand and a new ball was thrown out- He hit it the first time pitched and singled and, after Meyeis was ' out, Fletcher, who was playing as brilliantly yesterday as he did wretchedly in the tie game at Boston, whanged a double over first that came near upsetting the bean pot for the sec ond time. McGraw Scrota Big Rally. MoGraw, scenting . a big rally, and seeing Wood wabbling, rushed Bull McCormlcH to the bat tor Tesrtl.u, and Bull delivered. He sent a hard bounder close to second. Yerkes reached the ball, half stopped it with one hand and McGraw, raging over by third, waved and ordered Fletcher home with the tying run. He came through the heavy going at top speed, urged on by his manager, and Yerkes. grabbing the ball again, threw him out by 15 feet. He tried desperately, but was blocked off and put easily. Again in the eighth the Giants ral lied. A magnificent atop by Wagner prevented them from opening the in ning with a hit, and, with two down, it looked as if they had rallied when a hard bounder skimmed past Wagner in the muddy going and Murray singled, lifting the hopes of the Giant fans again. In that dilemma Wood used his slow curve with deadly effect and struck ont Merkle. ' Then in the ninth the Red Sox accumulated a run by hit ting Ames and Wood, reassured, whizzed through without trouble, re gaining his speed and his confidence. Weather Hurts Giants. The weather conditions affected the result directly and oddly enough tht conditions hurt the Giants worse than they did the Red Sox. It had rained all night and there was much doubt as to whether or not a game could be played until nearly noon, when the swarms of folks, stirred by new hope of a world's championship began pour ing into, the Polo Grounds until over 36,000 were massed in the stands, in suring the largest four days' attend ance and the greatest amount of money to the players of all time. The field was heavy ad the runways along the edge of the canvas wet and lumpy. Boston, while hitting the ball much harder than New York, Kept hitting on the line, fierce drives all through the first five innings, while the Giants were bumping the ball on the ground and' forcing Wagner and Yerkes to make great plays to keep them from going through. Twice Wag ner did it by one-handed stops that brought the crowd to its feet cheer- ing, and yet Wagner x -scarcely out played Fletcher, who, having settled to his work, played a clever and bril liant game. Red Murray again was the star of the day, making a leaping catch on Hooper's fierce line drive back near the concrete wall in right and prevent scoring in the fifth. Boston not Strona- In Attack. , While the victory gives Boston a strong advantage, it does not, in my opinion, settle the series. The Red Sox have not shown their strength in attack as they have on the defensive. Today they looked more like they did in their own league and were more aggressive at bat. They have been playing desperately In defense, but not showing their full strength at bat. Gardner cut loose for the first time and hit hard, his triple giving the Sox their first run, but neither Wagner nor Lewis has shown New, Yorkers what they can do. Another ticket scandal broke loose today, when the Baseball Writers' As sociation discovered two tickets sent to an American Association applicant on sale in a barroom and one from a Chicago paper on sale In another place. A meeting will be held to decide what to do about them. The clubs rushed back to Boston early this evening hurling off hard luck stories at every stop and claims of victory tomorrow. Mathewson is scheduled to work against Bedient to morrow at Boston, if the weather Is dark. ... , The betting tonight was 10 to 6 in favor of Boston and not much of it at that. .

HIGH WINS FROM HILL In Final Period Victory Is Snatched From Defeat, Score 13 to 10. FORWARD PASS DOES TRICK New Kule8 Make Possible Play by Maglus and Irvine That Leads to TouchdownAcademy Team Is Back in Real Form. Spurred to desperation by the won derful work of the Hill Military Acad emy football team In the first three quarters, Jefferson High rushed over two touchdowns In the first five .min utes of the last period yesterday and snatched victory from defeat, IS to 10. New rules made possible the victory, for it was a 22-yard pass caught by Magius from Irvine on the 40-yard line that paved the way for a touchdown by Magfus, which turned the tide ot the game. When Jefferson came back in the second half with the team re-arranged, matters grew dark for Hill and runs around the ends or. gains of any kind becamo few and far between. Day went out of the Hill line-up and this seemed to take some of the heart out of the team. Jefferson began to tear through the line of the opponents and to make long gains arouna tne ends an impossible feat, seemingly, in the first part of the matclw. , Winning; Score Is Made. After a long run by R. Lister around left end, a few line plunges by Russell, Maglus and Irvine, the first touch down was scored. This put so much heart into the boys that within two minutes Magius got away and put the ball down behind the line for the win ning score. This was where the only successful pass on the part of Jeffer son played an important part. Irvine shot the leather to Magius, who evaded Hill after making a solid recovery on the 40-yard line. Hill started the game with an awful rampage through the Jefferson lines. However, Jack Day Was worked too hard, and towards the end of tbe game he was unable to do much offensive work. He sure did cover ground while In action though. Through tackle, around end and everywhere -was Day, in play after play with untiring ac tivity. The attendance at the game was the best which ever turned out for any game in which Hill was concerned, showing that many fans had "inside dope" on the strength of Hill and ex pected to see the splendid game which the school put up. Last year Hill's stock as a factor In interscholastics was nil, but tha game yesterday shows that the eleven will have to be reck oned with in the final settlement. Punting became a factor In the game yesterday, something which has been practically unseen in the others. Jack Day and William Williams were the contenders in this line and both made some splendid punts. Maglus, the plucky little end and ouarter. dayed a fine game at both places. He is most troublesome at end. Irvine came in ax quarter 10 ms fourth period and filled that place with credit. Hendrlckson and the Lis ter brothers also get glory for their part In the game. Hill had a few veterans who showed up well. Blackstone and St. Martin and. Of course, the mainstay. Day. de serve the credit for the great come back of HH1 after the slump of many years.

"WHITE HOPE" FAVORED FIGHT FANS EXPECT M'OARTT TO DEFEAT KAtJFMAX. San Franciscan Not Kegarded as Probable Victor by Followers in His Own Olty. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11. If the Judgment of the fight followers fails to lean a little more toward ai ti.au t man, white hope, the betting on the fight between the San Franciscan and Luther McCarty, white hope, will have a distinctly McCarty tinge to it when Tom Corbett, betting commissioner, oDens for- business tomorow morning. The two heavyweights are even choices in the wagering tonight, but the Kauf man backers have made no effort to stem tbe tide of the McCarty money. In public opinion McCarty seems to have a shade the better of It, the im pression having gained ground that Kaufman is not even as good as he was when he was acting as a sparring part ner with Jack Johnson in preparing him for the fight with Jeffries at Reno. Nevada. The work done by McCarty In the gymnasium has caught the eye of the critical fans and, while they are one in saying that there are many sharp corners in the new prospect, they also agree that he is the likeliest looking big fellow who has donneu the boxer's togs In San Francisco in some time. It is significant that Kaufman, a San Franciscan should una sucn weaa sup port in the betting market Both men have sent word to referee Jim Griffin that they are- ready for the sound of tbe bell tomorrow afternoon.

Henry Solomon, the three-cushion bllllardlst. Is much depressed over the upsetting of his "dope" on the series. Last year he picked every game right, even down to the winning and losing pitchers, and attempted to "come back" this season. "Solly" named Boston to take the first two games, New York the next two, and Boston two more for the necessary four to entitle the Sox to the title. The second-day tie broke up his combi nation, although the third was a tribute to his prophetic Judgment. But yesterday the Boston victory shattered the two-game Giant string and the cueist must await another season for vindication. "Boston is not beating the best team in the National League," declared Eddie Mensor, ex-Portland Colt outfielder, who returned yesterday from Pittsburg, where he played a part of the season with the Pirates." Chicago looked like a better team than New York to me, while had our pitchers been going as they did towards the last we would have made an even better showing than the Giants." Mensor was sold to Pittsburg in midseason for $3000, Umpire Van Hal tren negotiating the deal. Eddie broke into the game like a world's champion and was going at a terrific paoe when he Injured his bothersome ankle again. To that point his batting was well above .300 and base-stealing the talk of the Pirate fans, but he slumped and finished the season batting under .260. Mensor leaves for San Francisco to night, but will return soon to pass the Winter In Portland. He will report to the Pittsburg club at West Baden, Ind., next Spring. The ex-Colt has nothing but words of highest praise for Manager Clarke, Honus Wagner and other Pirates. Claire Patterson, the Oakland out fielder who is laid up at Good Samari tan Hospital with pneumonia, pre dicated several days ago that Rube Marquard would be the only Giant pitcher to beat the Red Sox. Vean Gregg, the star Cleveland south paw, has signed his 1913 Nap contract.
