Two -wonderful major league baseball teams will mobilize in Portland today for an exhibition at Recreation Park. Hound on a tour around the globe, the New York Giants and the Chicago Americans will enjoy their last sleep on American soil in Portland tonight, preparatory to embarking aboard ship for Japan, Slam. Ceylon, Egypt." France, Germany, England, Scotland and Ire land a three months' Journey in alL The exhibition at Recreation Park la set for 2:30 o'clock, and. while the weather man is none too optimistic, a canvas has been spread over the ball field, and nothing short of a deluge will prevent a game. The gates will be open at 1 o'clock. and a crowd of close to 10,000 fans is anticipated. The sojourn of the big league stars In Portland will be a kaleidoscopic panorama of excitement. Sight-Swing Trip Planned. Fielder A. Jones, ex-manager of the Chicago Sox, is head of a reception committee that will greet the tourists at the Union Depot at 7:20 A. M. Break fast will be followed by automobile sight-seeing rides, and then comes the ball game, with an informal yet elab orately' frescoed banquet on the card for the evening hours, beginning at 6:30 o'clock. On their triumphal tour through the South and up the Pacific Coast, the ball Hars have declined all banquet dates, but Ted Sullivan, managing director of the tour, reached Portland - yesterday and accepted in behalf of the entire contingent. "This will be our last night on our native soil, and for patriotic reasons every man, Jack, son of us will be on hand," said he. "We sail Wednesday night from Victoria,-and want to point back to Portland as the city which bade us bon voyage." Banquet Tickets In Demand. George L. Baker has been chosen toastmaster for the banquet, which will be held in one of the beautifully dec orated dining halls at the Multnomah Hotel. Mayor Albee will be one of the speakers. Because of the demand for tickets, the committee raised the guest limit from 100 to 125 yesterday, and these extra billets can be secured from J. K. Appleby, Marshall 2004, or 'from E. S. Higgins, Main 8S00. While Christy Mathewson bade the caravansarie godspeed at San Fran cisco,, there will be enough other fa vorites aboard to make the visit one long to be remembered in Portland. Among these might be mentioned John J. McGraw, manager of the five times champion New Tork Nationals; Fred Merkle, Jeff Tesreau and bride. James Thorpe, the famous Indian athlete; Larry Doyle and wife, Freddy Bnodgrass, Al Demaree. Hooks" Wiltse, the pitcher who broke in at first base so sensationally during the recent world's series, besides Lobert and Doolan, of the Phillies, and Mike Don- lin, Fromme, Wingo and Magee. Roster Clustered With Class. While the Chicago Americans are coming mostly by proxy, Charles Comlskey's roster scintillates with class. The Sox are managed by James Cal lalian- some actor man, they say and lie has under his fatherly wing Ray Schalk, his great young backstop; Keb Russell, Buck Weaver, late of the Seals Ieverenz, ex-Angel: Sam Crawford, the great Detroit slugger; Trls Speaker, the Boston fence-buster; Herman Schaefer, the comedian; Benz, Hal Chase, the world's greatest first-sacker; Steve Evans, of St. Louis, and others. Jack Sheridan and Bill Klem are the Umpires attending. Only 24 players will be taken abroad. according to Managing Director Sulli van. Hence several of the stars will . leave the team tomorrow at Seattle, and as the tourists can pack only lirnited number of players through lack of storage room, Trls Speaker will be among those left behind. The teams play on too many islands after leaving United States soil, says Director Sulli van. Wives to See Portland. Hal Chase, Schalk, Faber and Russell are others who will bid good-bye to the barnstormers ere another 24 hours ticks off. Several of the officials and the play ers are accompanied by their wives and the women will be taken care o during the stay in Portland by a com mlttee consisting of Mrs. W. W. Mo Credie, Mrs. W. T. Pangle and Mrs i ielder A. Jones. At 10:30 automobiles will lift the party at the Multnomah Hotel for a Jaunt about the city. While the ban quet is on in the evening the women will be enjoying the caTaret at a spe cial table at the Arcadian Gardens, after which Mrs. Pangle will be hostess at a box party at the Heilig Theater The Chicago team will book at th Multnomah Hotel and the New York Giants at the Oregon Hotel.

Comlskey and McGraw Willing to Let Forfeit Go bat Medford Fans Refuse to -, Quit After Paying; $2 to See Big Leagners. MEDFORD. Or.. Nov.. 17. (Special.) With umbrellas for , the background. foreground and centerpiece, the Giants defeated the White Sox here 3 to 0 to day in a five-inning game and broke the tie of the series. It rained before the Kame. durlncr the crame and after the game, making it such a natatorial exhibition as has not been seenon the trip. Magee, in the outfield for Giants, made a one-handed catch with an umbrella over his head, while Sheridan umpired in an overcoat. During the forenoon it rained, but when the tourists arrived it stopped for a few minutes and immediately the committee insisted that the game be played. Comiskey and McGraw were willing to let the forfeit go by but the fans had paid $2 a throw to see the major leaguers in action and they would not be satisfied without a game, The first inning went by without a hitch, then the clouds began to leak, and for four solid hours it poured. - The ball diamond had been rolled at noon, and when the game was called at 1:30 there was a good surface to play on. Umpire Sheridan wore an overcoat. Doyle carried an umbrella and the tourists floundered through five in nings as nonchalantly as if the sun had been shining. As Umpire Klem bawled out tho notables as they came to bat everyone yelled. . The lightning work of the New York infield also aroused -much enthu siasm. The presence on the White Sox team of Don Rader, an ex-High School star of Medford, who was recruited by Comiskey last Summer . and is spending the Winter at his home here, added to the Interest. Rader played an errorless game and knocked a hard liner to the left field fence, which was a foul by three Inches. Crowds Cry for More. There was a crowd Jammed in the bleachers and along the sidelines, but no one made a move to leave and there were even slight murmurs of protest when Umpire Klem called the game at the end of the sixth inning. Not that the fans did not consider that they had had $2 worth of fun, but they simply ate up the "big league stuff." By this time the players were floundering around in the mud while with every ball thrown it was a hit and miss af fair. Still it was a remarkably clean game, some of the most brilliant one hand stops and pick-ups setting the fans wild. Wiltse tried to fool the Sox and Benz had been picked to keep the Giants guessing. The Sox never had a chance at Wiltse's slants while the Nationals pounded Joe hard and often, getting a start of two runs In the first Inning on two clouts into the outfield. Fast fielding kept the bases dean until the fifth, when Lobert's and Merkle's doubles pulled In one tally, Rader Plays Third. Joe Rader, who lives here and who was with the Sox for a minute last year, played third, as Schaefer was laid up with a lame back. Immediately after the game the Commercial Aaso ciation here tendered a banquet and the tourists made their get-away for Portland at little after 6 o clock. The score: "White Sox Gianti K U UAt, Ninety - trro New Records Approved. The Retiring- President Advocates 'Competition With Professionals. NEW YORK. Nov. 17. Alfred J.

Klvlat. of the Irish-American Athletic Club, with 4:18 15 for a mile indoor, were honored ones among middle-distance runners for the year. President Kirby, before retiring, sub. mitted a long statement of the work accomplished during his term and ad vocated that competitions under strict conditions and limitations between amateur and professional athletes should be sanctioned. This was re ferred to the board of governors. The secretary-treasurer's report showed a net gain for the year of $3151.56 and a balance of $24,877.52 on hand.
