The Pacific Coast played upwards of 200 games, fut stretched out over & seven months' f?ason. . J Add to this the fact that no Sunday games are allowed in the two Cana dian cities. Vancouver and" Victoria; that due allowance must be made for the Canadian holiday dates so as to kave teams in action across the bor er on those occasions; and that only In weeks of baseball are feasible in Portland, these dovetailed In during he absence of the Portland Coast League club, and the thorny task, of jthe schedule drafters Is plainly re pealed.

The first football game in the county since 1S89 was played here Saturday between the high school boys of John Day and Ore gon City, the latter team winning, 6 to 0. About 30 visitors came with the vis iting team and were entertained by the John Day boys and school faculty. A dance followed In the evening at Shields hall. ' The teams will play again December 20 at Prairie City. Boxing Briefs. When Johnny Kllbane and Abe At tell do their little skit all over again on February 22 the result probably will be the same. Kllbane again will hang out his shingle as champion. While Attell has not Improved with age, Kllbane has. He has all the clev erness which was formerly Attsll's characteristic and has the punch. At tell may still be clever, but he has not the stamina of the olden days and probably will find It out before they go the full 15 rounds. Joe Rivers has taken a vacation and will do no work for more than a month. He Is suffering from an In- Jury to the hand similar to the one which Wolgast sustained. He believes he will be O. K. on Washington's birth day, but will not try anything before that date. Billy Papke, another of those re ported retired, decided to come to life once more. He meets George Chip In January. The route will be over ten rounds, with the fignters making 160 pounds at 3 o'clock. The receipts 'of the Millard-Morris fiasco were $6500. about halt of what the promoters expected to draw. Each of the fighters drew 11600. This was $1499.70 too much, according to the fans who witnessed the go. a a Jack Brltton meets Walter Mohr De cember 20 at Brooklyn. One of the mooted questions of the Anderson-Cross bout on New Year's day was the time of weighing In.

The North Yakima Base ball Association is planning to get off strong in the reorganized Western Tri State League next Spring. The Yaki ma Braves have ten men under reserve and will have to fill but two outfield positions and one in the infield. Five pitchers are under contract. Two of them Boatman and Peterson are' from Northwestern League clubs and were purchased near the end of last Summer when North Yakima be lieved it had a chance for the pennant. Either or both of those men, as well as Kile, a young six-foot-two hurler; can be expected to go to better com pany soon after the season opens. All of them are big youngsters. The oth er two pitchers are Gordon, formerly of Tacoma and Spokane, and a Seattle boy named Turple, who will be given . n.ianBA of thn probability Of one or two of the Yakima pitchers going up berore tne season ia watch will be kept for at least one more.

Water polo teams of the Multnomah Club and Portland Baths meet tonight In the fourth game of the inter-club series. The match will be played In the Multnomah tank. Should Multnomah be able to walk away with this game it would become possessor of the trophy, put up by M. M. Ringler for the winner of four of seven games of the series. Multnomah took the first three games by easy margins, the closest being the last in which the score was 6 to 4. The Portland team had a somewhat crippled lineup, but the last game was played with the assistance of Frank O. Crfasey. who learned water polo In England. Creasey made all four points for the Portland team. While the Portland seven had Creasey it was still short Bowen and Rosengreen, two , of Us stars. Now Rosen green is back. Multnomah'H lineup will be practi cally the same-, Goalkeeper Bibee has recovered from an injury to one of his feet and will be ready to play the backfleld In opposition to Rosen green, i I BRAVES THIRD CONTEST SCHEDULED Evenly Matched Youngsters Fight to Standstill for 1913 Gridiron Honor on Multnomah. Field. Two Pretty Goals Kicked. For the second time this season the Thompson Grammar School football team and the Shattuck Grammar School eleven have battled to a tie score, the first being a 6-to-6 game. Yesterday's contest ended 7 to 7. The game was played on Multnomah field and was to have settled the championship of the lightweight section of the Portland Grammar School Football League: As a result of the tie score another game probably will be played. Principals of the two schools are making final ar rangements. Should another game not be forth coming the 1913 lightweight title would remain a tie, as is the championship of the Portland Interscholastlc League. The game was fast throughout and time after time long runs were made by both sides. The Shattuck squad was the first to score. Four minutes after the start of the game Hill intercepted a forward pass and crossed the goal line after a 65-yard run. Captain Ko manskyj of Thompson, attempted to forward pass but the ball -was blocked going straight into the air. Hill was rushing through the line and with arms outstretched he grabbed the pigskin and ran 65 yards with both elevens in hot pursuit. Captain Rudolph Wax scored a beautiful goal kick. Ninety-Pounder Plays Good Game. This put much life into the West Side team and as a result the Thompson eleven could not get near the Shattuck goal. At the beginning of tthe second quarter the ball was on the East Slders 25-yard line, but at this juncture of the Erame Referee Borleske caucrht Assist ant Coach Condit trying to coach from the sidelines and a 15-yard penalty was imposed. The ball surged up and down the field for a greater part of the period, but with three minutes to go and with the play on Shattuck's 35,-yard line Thomp son's backfleld began ' tearing off hlg gains through, the rapidly weakening line of the West Slders. With four yards separating them, from a touch down Coach Sax tried to Impart a sig nal to the Thompson players, but Ref eree Borleske received the tip, too, and as a result Thompson was taken back 15 yards. Two more plays without any appreciable gain were made before time was called to end the first half. Little excitement was caused in the third quarter, but with a- 7 to 0 score staring them In the face at the begin nlneof the last period the Thompson aggregation threw their best effort into the game. . Three minutes before time to end the game and - with the pigskin on Shat tuck's 40-yard line. Captain Romansky went through the line for 10 yards. Then his teammate. Mallot, skirted his right end for a 30-yard run and a touch down. Mallot kicked an easy goal, thereby tying Shattuck for the. cham pionship. Referee Also Catcnea Signal. Mallot is one of the best halfbacks ever seen in grammar school games in Portland. Many times he gained from 10 to 40 yards for his team. The en tire Thompson backfleld worked like a machine, although the team had little opportunity to advance the ball. Mal- lot's defensive playing was oi nign order. McTInney. weighing but 90 pounds. was a big factor in keeping the West Slders from making any yardage. When he could not tackle a big player ne jumped and wound his arms about the opponent's neek. LeMon received a. wal lop in the nose, which naa tne appear ance of being broken. The plucky boy finished the game.
