BT ROSCOB AWCETT.
Irve Higginbotham added another to
his galaxy of wins yesterday, when he
beat the orphaned Missions In the
second game of the series before nearly
4000 ladles' day fans.
Score. Portland 6. Missions 2.
Southpaw Lou Stanley was In the box
for the visitors thirsting for revenge
for having been released twice by Boss
McCredie. All the revenge Lou got
yesterday could be salted away In a
gnat's egg. The Beavers began hitting
him hard In the first inning and but
for some hard breaks in the bases
would have had a couple more in the
run column. '
Big Hannah Throw Chance
Big Hannah threw away whatever
chance the Missions had of licking
Higginbotham by pulling a "Merkle"
in the seventh frame.
In ordinary English a "Merkle" is
something a wooden Indian might be
expected to perform in a pinch tech
nically, a "bonehead." Lighting a
match in a magazine of powder would
be one form of the malady.
So behold Hannah's "boner."
While coaching on the third-base line
the big catcher momentarily forgot the
new rules and charitably helped Bert
Coy to his feet as he slid safely into
the bag.
Coachers Rules Explained.
Now, coachers are strictly forbidden
to lay paws on baserunners at third
base, and as Umpire Phyle was an eye
witness of the deed. Coy was promptly
ostracized from the field. As a result
the Missions scored only two runs that
inning, whereas they had three cinched
and might have made a dozen more.
Which proves that even the best of
us are prone at times to err, some of
us being more human than divine.
Some wonderful fielding around the
third station by Eddie Hallinan and
some equally clever pastiming by Tom
Tennant, together with a dandy squeeze
play by Rodgers and Higginbotham;
conspired to make the sunny afternoon
bright and cheery. Dave Bancroft also
" negotiated a lightning cutoff at third
base that notably helped Higginbotham
in his one bad stanza.
Portland Gets Bony Karl jr.
Briefly summarizing, Portland crossed
once in the first on a single by Rodg
ers, stolen base and Derrick's double
past third. The Mackmen scored an
other run in the third on a walk and
hits by Kores and Davis.
Sacramento tied the score in the sev
enth on Tennant's double. Hallinan's
single, a walk to Van Buren and
Rohrer's two-base swat into center.
Daddy belted in both runs. This was
the frame in which Hannah forgot.
Two more runs the Beavers crammed
over the home plate in the last of the
seventh and the game was won, but for
good measure they annexed two more
in the eighth.
A walk, Higginbotham's double and
Bancroft's single scored one run in the
seventh and Rodgers squeezed Hig in
with the other. Orr's error started the
eighth. Davis' walk shoved Kores along
to second and he scored on Speas' two-
bagger to right. Davis romped home
on Ryan's sacrifice fly.

AGGIES WORKING HARD
DR. STEWART DUBIOUS ABOUT RE
SULT OF AXMIAL GAME.;
Lineup Against Multnomah Club Octo
ber 3W11I Be Handicapped by Lack
of Frcsbmei Recruits.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Sept. 23. (Special.) Much
strenuous football work is the daily
rule at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, in preparation for the alumni
game to be held here next Saturday.
About 40 men are laboring industrious
ly under the direction of Coaches -Stewart
and May a squad which, though
not as large as had been anticipated.
Is made up of men some of whom at
least are big and fast enough to war
rant attention.
All freshmen' have' been turned over
to Everett May. while Dr. Stewart con
fines his efforts to the varsity squad.
This does not mean that the freshmen
will not be used against the old-timers
next Saturday. On the contrary, a num
ber of the most pleasing yearlings are
almost certain to be seen in -the var
sity lineup. Hoerllne, Watson, Selpa
and Newman are the leaders in the
ranks of the freshmen who look like
first stringers. Dr. Stewart, however,
is taking a chance on weakening his
first string temporarily in order that
May will not be- handicapped in work
ing up his rook bunch.
The first freshmen game will be
played with the University of Oregon
first-year men on Saturday, October 3,
at Eugene. This is the date of the
first Multnomah game, to be played
here, and this means that "Doc" will
be without the services of his fresh
men recruits in the first battle with
the Winged M warriors.
Stewart is worried about the alumni
game. "We will be handicapped in
that we will be without the services of
Lutz and probably Hofer," declared the
Aggie ' mentor- today. "Lutz" shouldeV
is bad still, and Hofer has developed
a similar rouble, which may necessi
tate his retirement from the scrimmage,
the scrimmage. Moore has been in a
suit only once and will not be in con
dition to work long Saturday, so we
will be obliged to depend on a number
of new men, and to add to our troubles.
May, who has managed the mobiliza
tion of the Alumni, has assembled the
strongest bunch of old boys that we
have had here in years, so I would not
be surprised if we find some difficulty
in handling the situation. Well, it will
give us a chance to see the boys In
action and it will be a real game. I
would like to win by about two touch
downs, but I doubt if I can do it with
out Hofer and Lutz."
May's congregation of veterana will
be an all-star bunch from present in
dications. Among those who have
agreed to come back and suffer pun
ishment for the sake of the cause are
Bird Hawley, "Jim" Evendon, Kellogg,
"Shrimp" Reynolds, Pendergrass, Mc
Kenzie and Otto and Charlie Sltton.
Others whom May is confident will
appear are Rasmussen, Chrisman, Keck
and Bennett. Everyett will probably
play himself, if necessary.
Local fans are disappointed to learn
that "Dutch" Hayes, the Pasadena half
back whose work last year made nim
one of Stewart's best second-string
men, will be unable to play football
this year because of parental objec
tions. According to Hayes, it is no
football or no college" for him. this
year, so "Doc" will have to look else
where for backfield material. Fans
here had Hayes doped for a regular
place on the varsity this year.
Of the freshmen in college who were
not at the training camp, two or three
give special promise. Brooks, of San
Francisco, is a. 185-pound guard, and
Anderson, of Asttrria, who strips at
175, is another candidate for the same
position. "Bumps" De Losh, 165, of
Aberdeen, Wash., i3 an end with a good
record: who is fast, good on the front
end of a pass, and knows the game.
Clahby and Gibbons Not Matched.
SAN rKANUlSCO, Sept. 23. Jimmy
Clabby's manager denied today that
Clabby and Mike Gibbons, both middle
weights, had been matched for 20
rounds on the afternoon of Thanksgiv
ng day. In San Francisco, as was re
ported yesterday in a dispatch from
Chicago. Such a match has been under
discussion, among other possibilities,
but it has not been clinched.

Pacific Coast League Mag
nates Fail to Decide in
First Meeting.
SACRAMENTO REPLY WAITS
McCredie Silent as to Proposed Con
tinuous Baseball in Portland.
Curtailing of Season Is
Denied.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23. (Spe
cial.) With every club in the Pacific
Coast League represented, Judge Mc
Credie, Harry Wolverton ' and Lloyd
Jacobs having rushed from Portland to I
be in attendance, no disposition was
reached tonight at the special meeting
to discuss the question of peddling "of
the orphan Mission club." There will
be further discussions tomorrow' morn
ing, the magnates having adjourned
until 11 A. M.
As yet the Coasters are still waiting
on the business men of Sacramento,
who have not given their answer as to
whether they are prepared to finance
the club and rehabilitate themselves in
Class AA baseball.
Guarantee Talked ' About.
While no official statement has been
made by President Baum or the dele
gates in session, it is understood that
the propostion briefly stands as fol
lows:
J. Cal Ewinsr and his associates re
fuse to consider the project of estab
lishing a second team permanently in
San Francisco and have so announced
themselves. . Messrs. Ewlng and Ish do
not believe that it would prove a suc
cess to give Oakland as much as 15
weeks of baseball, particularly with
rival games on the San Francisco side
of the bay, and have so declared them
selves.
The debate just now seem to be as
to whether the Coast League, as an
organization, will bind itself to the
support of the sixth club In the league.
As put forward by one of the delegates,
it is possible that the league would
be willing, in the event of Sacramento
men financing the team another sea
son, to guarantee them against loss.
McCredie Not Enthusiastic.
Mention was made of the possibility
of having continuous ball in Portland,
which might be one way of solving the
perplexing situation, but there was no
debate and Judge McCredie did not ex
press himself as to whether he would
favor such a plan; A majority of the
magnates, however, apparently do not
feel that such a plan Is feasible, and
Judge McCredie. after the gathering,
was anything but enthusiastic.
President Baum most emphatically
denied the rumor from Portland that
the Coast League has any idea of cur
tailing its season.
"That contingency has never even
been thought of, let alone discussed,"
he said. "You can say for me that we
have no Intention of dropping any
games from the schedule, but will go
through with our full season -as
planned. I can't imagine how such a
rumor gat around."
Park Owner Attends.
Judge McCredie reached San Fran
cisco this morning for this 'special
meeting. Harry Wolverton and Lloyd
Jacobs, representing a majority inter
est in the Mission team, rushed back
from Portland to be present, and
Charlie Graham also was in . attend
ance. Ed Kripp, who owns the Sacramento
park which is leased to the club, was
in conference with the magnates and
was asked to be in attendance again
tomorrow morning." Kripp is desirous
to see baseball maintained in Sacra
mento and says he will do everything
In his power to see it arranged.-
Sounding the Sport Reveille
A
SAN FRANCISCO newspaper printed
a rumor recently Do the effect that
Peter Buzukos. Portland's Greek wres
tier, was soon to be thrown by Dan
Cupid. Now Buzukos indignantly, de
nies that he ever agreed to wrestle
Cupid, but will meet him two out of
three if he will make 145 pounds.
Harry Wolverton must have smiled
when he read of the resignation of Frank
Chance from the New York Yank man
agement. Wolverton drew about $6000

HANGING
PENDLETON BOY GETS
CHANCE WITH BEAVERS
George Naughton Is Prospect for Bill Rodgers' Place, With Record of 85
Runs in 95 Games and Batting Average of .310.
ORTLAND signed up one prospect
for Bill Rodgers' station on the
1915 Portland Coast club yester
day. His name is George Naughton
and for two years he has been the
star second sacker of the Pendleton
team of the Western TrNState League.
Naughton batted .210 this season,
stole 45 bases and scored 85 runs, in
95 games. Last year the kid broke Into
professional ball and hit .259 in 43
games. He hails from Seattle and was
signed for Portland by James J. Rich
ardson, one of Walter McCredie's
scouts.
McCredie got his signed contract yes-t-rday.
Naughton may report for a prelim
inary tryout next week, but if hot Mac
intends taking him to his Spring camp
next February, anyway, for a thor
ough analysis.'
The sale of Bill Rodgers to Cleveland
and the drafting of Ivores by the New
York Giants leaves two vacancies in
the Infield that will have to be plugged
next season. Kores' place will not be
nearly so difficult to fill as Rodgers',
and Mac intends to do.all In his power
ro secure a capable second-racker.
His nucleus will be ' -;rrlck on first
base, one of the best initlal-sackers
Portland has had in years; Bancroft
at short, another sensation, and Bobby
Davis at third. Davis was a phenom
the latter part of 1913, whn he broke
In from the Western Tri-State League,
but he got away badly this season ow
ing to a Charley horse.
Davis is pretty sure to come strong
again in 1915, and Mac is counting
heavily upon him to do a Cinderella
act with Kores" brogans. In all de
partments, save hitting. Davis out-class-s
the Dutchman.
Like Rodgers, Naughton Is a left
hand batter, the only portslder In the
Infield, and is built along the Davis
proportions.

Incensed by rowdyism on the part of

bout in which Ritchie is put down and

stars ever assembled. In the backfield
will be "Pruny" Francis, now with the
Multnomah Club squad: "Curly" Row
land, fullback and punter last season;
Chauncey Bishop, who achieved Na
tional recognition while at Columbia
University, New York, and "Tubby"
Gingrich, athletic director of the Salem
Y. M. C. A., who has considerable fame
both as a coach and quarterback.
Harley Blackwell, now at O. A. C,
will hold his old position at center.
Guard positions will be filled by Robin
Day, a Salem attorney, and Dr. J. D.
Macy. The tackles will be Bruce Mc-
Knight, superintendent of schools at
Junction City, and "Hippo" Watson, of
Sa'.em, who distinguished himself on
the varsity team two years ago. The
ends will be Burgess Ford, principal
of Estacada High School, and Raymond
McTlae, once characterized as the best
end in the Northwest. ,
Against such an array Thompson will
send his squad of inexperienced pro
teges. A hard scrimmase between two
picked elevens featured th afternoon's
practice. Neither team could make con
sistent gains and the playing was char
acterized by frequent fumbling and
offside plays.
HILL OBTAINS BIG , PLATTERS
Members of . Champion Team Join
Military Academy Force.
Coach Bill Graham, of the Hill Mili
tary Academy football team, bids fair
to surprise many of the followers of
local lnterscholastic football when he
"Young's only weakness is at the bat
and he can go strong enough there to
make the Detroit team, which has
enough good hitters hot."
But for San Francisco, the 1914 Pa
cific Coast League race would be
three-dip Boston for x'ortland. The
Seals haye -won 19 games from Fort
land as against 13 for the Mackmen.
T,ie Caks have been mvd pie for the
Beavers, just as they were in 1913, and
the same old jinx seems to be working
against Sacramento, too, though Wol
verton has squelched It to some extent.
So far this year Portland has won
23 games from Oakland and lost six.
and up to this series the Portland-
Mission count stood 20 games for Port
land and 14 for the Missions.
Portland has broken even with Yen
Ice, 14-14, and has tre edge en the
Angels by a count of 9 to 16.
.
Financial troubles of the Sacramento
club are behind the extra session of
Pacific Coast League magnates now
being held In San Francisco, accord
ing to Walter McCredie, the Portland
manager.
don't think the rumored scheme
of placing a second team in Portland
will even be considered. Some day
Portland may get continuous ball with
a second club in Vancouver, as is the
case with Los Angeles and Venice, but
I don't think the time is ripe.".
Two or three weeks ago, it is report
ed on good authority, each Pacific
Coast League club was assessed $1000
to help cover the losses of the Sacra
mento club. The Missions have kept
on losing money since then and the re
cent meeting doubtless has been called
to choose between facing a steady drain
on the exchequer to meet further de
ficits and closing the season earlier
than usual.
It is believed that the magnates will
voto to close shop about October 4 in
stead of October 25.
While Sacramento is the sole league
ward at present, the Oakland club must
also be a big loser this year. The Oaks
have been in the cellar most of the
time and cellar champs usually don'
thrive financially.
