MATHEWSON IS HEARTBROKEN Giant Pitcher Says He Will Xever Twirl In World Series Again. NEW YORK. Oct. 17. (Special.) There is sadness in the hearts of every member of the Giant team today, but saddest of them all is Christy Mathew son, who hurled the game which made the Boston Red Sox champions of the world by their 3-to-2 victory over New York in Boston. Mathewson is heartbroken over his defeat and refuses to be comforted. A number of Mathewson's friends called on him today, but the king of pitchers preferred to be alone. He let it be known that he is greatly disappointed and declares he will never pitch in a big series again. It is intimated that he will likely quit the game for good now. There is no excuse for the Giants. There can be only individual absolution for the sins of error. It, Is Mathewson who emerges from the long series without having won a single game, but with all the laurels. It was the day of reckoning In Wall street today, and as a result of the out come of- the last game In the world se ries it Is estimated that over S 100,000 has been won and lost in that financial district and was paid over.

Having found out its strength in the recent game with Jefferson High, Hill Military Academy is prepared to give Lincoln High School a good game today on Multnomah Field. A few changes and additions to the team will also help the cause of the soldier boys. The game will start at 3:15 P. M. Eddie McAllen has this year taken sides with Hill Military Academy. He will be played at either fullback or quarter, and will do effective work in either place, despite the fact that he has been in a suit less than a week. Last year he played a great game with Columbia University and showed himself to be a great gridiron general. The year before, his first, he played end and quarter with Jefferson High. Henry Jones, another player of some interscholastic fame, has also returned to the school and may take a place to dav. He played several good games at end last Fall, and, although Hill has good ends now, he will be able to help when the fray gets too strong for two. Lincoln will present about the same front which played against Portland A'cademy. The team will weigh aboul the same as Hill and will bring out several plays adapted to the new rules.

(SpeciaD Knw ' that the wnrld series and the local civil war am ended more or less happily, one would think that baseball would cease to hold the center of the nta.a-e. Tet the same is lust warming up. With the players scouting around and picking up pennies in. exhibition games the magnates are leaping Into the limelight and the next meeting of the National League is HKeiy to oe mare exciting even than the world's series. The National League, suffering re verses on the field and losing the es timation of the followers of the game, is at last determined to clean its Au gean garage. . During the world's se ries, while the Eastern club owners were together, steps were taken to punish Horace Fogel, ostensible own er of the Philadelphia team, and C. W.

World Serle. Proves Little. The world's series so far as practical results went proved nothing except that Boston has a slightly stronger team than New York with a weaker pitching staff and that the Giants have developed a line of attack that is likely to upset even stronger teams. The Giants trust to their speed and courage in attack to force the other teams to beat themselves rather than to a vicious attack to bat out a vic tory Undoubtedly Boston has a strong er attack at bat; beyon.l doubt New York has a faster team on the bases. Boston is steadier and a little less bril liant in defense. . The luck which swayed the series was almost entirely with the Giants, except in the final game which the Sox won on luck. This Is not meant to detract anything from the Giants, who nut up a brilliant and desperate de fense against an attack stronger than i-1 Kai onfmintprftd iii their oTu'leur Yer'they were lucky in that they did their greatest when they had ' to do it to save a game, and they did it every time. On the other hand, every little slip Bos ton made was at the critical instant and every slip cost them dearly. De vore and Snodgrass saved games by making the greatest catches of their lives. Herzog helped save one by the most wonderful play he ever made. Duffy Lewis lost one game by muffing a line fly straight into his hands, a thing that happens once a season; r. a .... aa thA same thing on the final game, and Carrlgan failed to hang on to a ioui mi . hamiM the ball Just Blivtu a - , dribbled out of his mitt.- If it had been Herxog. the ball would have hit on his left shoulder ana stuc. meic. Series One of Luck. t- .-i ., u was r,thr one of luck and little things than of great achieve ments and it aia not sirmc either team played much scientific ball. The strangeness of the pitchers tney faced and their attempts to out guess the opposition was responsible for this and it looked to me as if the New York pitchers outguessed the Bos ton pitchers. It was desperate base ball all the way through with no show of yellow streak on either side. From a financial standpoint the series was the greatest ever staged. The receipts were larger than the en tire National League took at the gate In a season 20 years ago. The players with more money coming to them than has been given to any players, wanted more and In their greed they demanded a share of the money received from the tie game or their choice of the players' share of the four largest games. Mistake Soon Realised. Their attitude was unreasonable and dangerous and was the result of the wrong decision of the National com mission of the first series between Chicago and Detroit when they decided that in case of a tie the players should have their share. They made the de cision hastily and after thinking it over saw the peril of it, realizing how easy it would be to leave any . close game tied and they decided, or rather their leagues did, that the players should cut in only on four games, re gardless of ties. What their motives were makes no- differences. It was dangerous. Then the Question was raised and the commission, after hearing Mathew son's argument, decided that It had not the power to decide, although it has decided twice, and threw the problem to the two leagues. Much as it might please us to see the players get the coin, their attitude is ridiculous and their grasping for money does not help the game. The umpiring In the world's series was the best I ever saw. There was not a serious mistake and not one de cision was seriously questioned. Bos ton had one chance to kick when a runner slid the ball out of Herzog's hands after being tagged out, but he was so palpably out It was foolish to question. On balls and strikes the work of the umpires was almost perfect. I did not question live onus mm aiiuva uuims 1 the entire series and those were close. I ous The umpiring was a triumph and one of the features of the .contests. RED SOX PARADE IX BOSTON Thousands Cheer New Champions of Baseball AVorld. BOSTON, Oct. 17.

Men on Way to Whitman With Star Plunger Nursing Knee Team , Runs Through Signals. UNIVERSITY of OREGON, Eugene, rv-t 17, rsnecial.) Oregon's football squad, numbering 15 players, together with Coach Louis Plnkham ana Trainer William Hayward, left tonight for Walla Walla, the scene of the Oregon-Whitman game Saturday. Regarding Oregon's chances against Whitman, the coaches are dubious. The action of the faculty in barring Par sons Just before the game has again played havoc with the team. With Heusner still afflicted with a bad knee, Pinkham is not overburdened with good .back-field men. In fact, so keenly is the shortage felt that Heusner may be called onto fill his old position at half in spite of his injury. In Niles, Bloomqulst and Kinder, Whitman has the fastest back-field trio In the conference, Judging by the records of all three men on the cinder path. Whether they will be able to run the Oregon ends and tackles is, of course, a matter of speculation, but this style of play is almost certain to be a feature of Whitman's attack. In contrast, the, Oregon back field is composed entirely of line-plungers. Cook, Heusner, Jones, Briedwell, Par sons and Hartsuck are all noted for their attainments la straight bucking rather than in circuitous running. The Oregon team will probably line up as previously announced, . except that there seems to be no chance for Parsons. Caufield will play center; Fenton. right guard; Fariss, left guard; Bailey, right tackle; Grout, left tackle; Bradshaw, right end; Jones, left end; Walker, quarterback; Briedwell, right half;. Heusner, left half ;. Cook, full back. Officials have not yet been agreed upon. Togged out In abbreviated track gingham, the University of Oregon football squad. 15 strong, ran through 30 minutes of lively signal work yes terday afternoon on Multnomah Field. The boys are on their way to Walla Walla for the Whitman College game Saturday and quite a knot of former Eugene stuOents turned out for a peep at the lemon-yellow hopes of 1912. Head Coach pinkham appeared a lit tle bit discouraged by the faculty barring of Halfback Parsons. He will have to use either Jones or Heusner at Parsons' position, with Briedwell at the other half, Cook at full and Wal ker at quarter. Cornell accompanied the squad and will likely be used at quarter a portion of the game. Assistant Coach Gordon Moores was In the party, but will go on to watch the Washington State College team in action against Idaho, so as to get some pointers for the Oregon-Washington state game at Eugene October 26. Those in the party, in addition to Coaches Pinkham and Moores, Trainer Hayward and Manager Geary, were: Captain Dean Walker, Jones, Huesner, Cook, Fenton, Bailey, Grout, Fariss, Briedwell, Cornell, Caufield, Anunsen, Bradshaw, Hartsuck and Soden. "If we cannot bring the two Oregon schools together in an athletic way without sacrificing the interest of the club, the board of directors will un doubtedly agree to the proposal for Thanksgiving Eugene-Corvallis games on Multnomah field." said A. M. Ells worth, president of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, last night. "The proposition as outlined in the Corvallis reports, was presented to the board at its meeting a week ago. NWe naturally took no action without de termining the attitude of the Oregon management. The matter will prob ably be settled at the meeting of the board next Tuesday.". While Multnomah Club -would be loath to give up the annual Thanks giving Day football struggle in Port land, the day will probably be given over to the two Oregon institutions it the university accepts the Corvallis proposals. The plan is to give the club one-third of the gate receipts for the use of the field and the abandonment of its own Thanksgiving game. The cancellation of the 1918 Multnomah Club-Oregon University game here, which is scheduled under a two-year contract, would e necessary. Football Managers to Meet.

"If he can prove that the National League race was crooked this year, and that the umpires or the president of the league were parties to it," said President Lynch in a statement to the meeting, "then the umpires should be discharged , and blacklisted from ever taking paft'ln organized baseball and the president of the league should step down and out of his position in disgrace. "On the other hand, 11 tnese ensree. cannot be proved, then it 1b up to the National League to pass again, pre venting this man from representing a National League club In any capacity.
