Classic May-Be Shifted to Portland This Fall. ' OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis. Or Dec 19. (Spe ciaL) Dr. E. J. Stewart, director of athletics at the Oregon Agricultural College, said tonight that ha had -re-reived no dennlte word from Manager Ralph Horr, of the University of Wash ington, regarding a football game be tween the Aggies and Dobie's team, re ported to be scheduled to oe piayea in Albany next FaLL Dr. Stewart several days ago re ceived a letter from President Van "Winkle, of the Albany Commercial Club, suggesting that the O. A. C. Washington game be played in the Hub City. Shortly after this he was questioned by telegraph by Manager Horr regarding the attitude of O. A. C. toward an Albany game. Horr sug gested that the local management guar antee $1000. Washington to have the privilege of taking half of the gate receipts should this be desired. Dr. Stewart replied that Albany would be a satisfactory meeting place so far as the Aggies were concerned and that October SI would be an ac ceptable date. No word of acceptance or rejection of this proposition has been received as yet by the local man ager. O. A. C. football players and fans are enthusiastic over the prospect for a Washington game. Should Stewart and Horr come to terms, it is thought here that the game in Albany should be a good drawing card and that both colleges should profit financially. The Oregon Unlversity-O. A. C. game will not be played In Albany next year, Managers Walker and Stewart having agreed to stage the classic either in Portland or In Corvallis. Sentiment here is overwhelmingly in favor of shifting the game to Portland, particu larly if the Washington scrap is sched uled for Albany.

Talk Tkat National League Should Care for Famous Veteram Grows Tiresome to New Bead. ' NEW YORK, Dec 19. Governor John K. Toner, of Pennsylvania, the new president of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, an nounced today through Secretary Heydler that Captain Adrian C. Anson, the veteran Chicago player, was not In need of a pension and he saw no reason why one should be granted. A proposal to pension Anson was discussed at the annual meeting of the league during the week of December 8. Secretary Heydler's statement follows: "Governor Tener was asked today If he was in favor of pensioning Captain Anson and if be would have the Na tional League take some action In the matter. In reply he said: " 'Speaking as president of the Na tional League, I will say that I see no reason why a pension should be voted Captain Anson. The captain Is strong physically and mentally ana is utipeai tng weekly on the vaudeville stage. He la antireiv satisfied with the remuner ation he is receiving for his talent. In common with his many friends I de plore the continued reference to the National League's failure to provide a pension for the captain's support. " "Mr. Anson Is far from being an ob ject of charity and- would refuse any pension that any league woum him. The National League is not un mindful of Its heroes and faithful and if there should come a time wnen cap tain Anson should need the organisa tion's support it will quickly and gladlv come to his assistance. " 'Please let me add In conclusion that I trust the above statement will set at rest all discussion relative to Captain Anson receiving a pension from the National League.
