Yesterday the Beavers won a double bill from the Missions, the same consisting of two beautiful pitching; duels. In which all ports of thrills were furnished for 4212 actual paid admissions. The score of the first same was 5 to and the second 1 to- 0. Stroud's failure to catch a toss at first base cost him his battle against Martinonl. Korea came up in the tame inning;, the fourth, and knocked a home run over the right field fence, sjood. for two runs. Qus Fisher clinched the matinee in the eighth when he banged a two dagger against the right-field fence and started another two-run proces sion. Poke Follows Award of Trophy. ' It Is nothing unusual for Fisher to S-attle the fences with line shots. This poke, however, carried particular dis tinction, because it followed directly on the heels of the presentation of a huge trophy cup awarded to Gus as be lnjr the most valuable member of the . Portland club, i W. W. Metsger made the presenta tion and. after everybody had blubbered into it and wondered what Fisher would do with it when it began to tar nish, the Ty Cobb of the Coast re sumed his position at the plate and took aforesaid vengeance on Stroud and the horsehide. - Young's error let Speas go safe to Second base a moment later and Fisher scored and a wild pitch by Stroud settled the beans. Speas startled everybody by romping all around from second to home like Peter Volo doing & mile in 2 flat. Martlnonl mm Steady as Clock. Martlnonl was as steady as clock work and allowed only four hits, as against seven off the future New York Giant. If the Initial game was a pitchers' battle, the second was the same, only more so. - The signal for hostilities to begin found Portland's big star, Higgln- botham, aligned against Southpaw Williams and the score, 1-0, just about tells the story. Williams pitched good enough ball to win In any old league, but fate was "agin" him. It was his second defeat of the week and yet in the two games he allowed only four runs. ' Southpaw Williams held Portland to three hits and one of these was de cidedly scratchy. Higginbotham was nicked for four, duplicating Martinonl's teat in the initial engagement Derrick Scores Lome Tally, c Derrick scored Portland's lone tally tn the fourth stanza. The Georgian opened with a single to left, the first hit off Williams, and was boosted to second on Rodgers' scratch hit to short. A close play on Kodgers at first, over which much strong language was spilt by Tennant, permitted Derrick to pilfer third and he registered on. Kodgers' force at second base on Ryan's grounder, Derrick stuck his hand in the way of a line drive by Coy in the seventh end was forced to quit the game with a bad finger. The accident may throw Mack's machine out of gear again, for Derrick's finger was badly mashed and disfigured. Korea finished the game at nrst ana uavis went to third. Speas, Coy and Cook all did some sensational spearing in the field. xne Missions said their season's farewells to Portland last night, da parting for the south with only one victory m the series of six games ecores: i First gams: Missions I Portland- - "HO A E B H O A B rivrsD.m. , v t v u uancrort.1, 4 0 8 2 n joung.tf... v ? a iS;DerricK,l .. 4 1 11 C'ook.s. ... 2 o 2 4 OjRodgers.2.. 4 2 0 5 0 Tennant,L 4 Coy.r 4 Halllnan.S. 4 VnBuren.l 3 ftohrer.o.. 1 Hi) u uiFlsher.c. . 1 2 OOiKyan.r. .". 0 3 4 0Kores,8.. 1 1 0 0 speas, m.. 5 lO u o u 2 00 4 0 1 10 0 u v i v Lober.l fctroud.p.. 8 1 O 0 ti&iartlnoni,p 8 1 4 Totals. 28 4 24 12 Sj ajlssions Hits Portland , Hits , Totals. . 83 7 27 12 1 OOO02UO0 O 2 -0 0 1 0 1 0 0 O 2 1 .00020102 5 .-IV010211 7 Runs, Van Bursn, Jtohrer, Rodsers, Fisher C.

COLLEGE'S REPLY AWAITED University Demands Freshmen Con test on Wednesday or Answer That Will Take Opponents Off of Season's Schedule. UNIVERSITT OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Sept. 27. (Special.) Unless Dr. E. J. Stewart, the Oregon "Aggie" College athletic director, brings his "rook" team to Eugene Wednesday, the annual U. of O.-O. A. C. freshman gams will not be played this season. The conteet was supposed to have been staged at Kin caid Field upon this date, and Manager Tiffany wrote Dr. Stewart to that effect recently, the answer received conveyed the fact that O. A. C, owing to the earliness of the season, would play the game reluctantly October 3. Head Coach Bezdek, in speaking of the affair, said: "Last Fall Stewart made the date; it was early for us be cause the "Aggie' squad already had been at work at Newport a week or so before my arrival in Eugene. How ever, I said nothing but accepted the date offered and met them in Corvallls. This year the date Oregon proposes is the same Wednesday, one year later. Stewart has refused to meet us on this day, and unless he changes his mind in the meantime no game will be played. 'We are trying to arrange for a game with the Multnomah Club team of Port land, to be played either here or In that city October 3. As I have use for my freshmen in the making of my varsity lineup. It is impossible to have & game with any other team on the same day. It is only right that Dr. Stewart accept the date I oner him."

After a special session the ath letic board here decided not to play the Oregon Aggie freshmen against the University of Oregon babies next Wednesday.

No other serious injuries resulted from yesterday's game, despite the fact that the fray was rough, and that the ex-stars were many of them out of condition. On the whole, Aggie fans were pleased with the showing of ths var sity yesterday. Sounding the Sport Reveille MUGGSY M'GRAW is a bit sore at himself, because he let Ames and Rudolph1 go.

Norrls Wil liams, of Harvard, contrived to snatch the National tennis championship from Maurice McLoughlin, of California. But the man with the "real dope" is back in San Francisco in the shape of a smiling, debonair young gentleman with an armful of racquets, auburn hair and a suit delicately tinted to mctch. He sensationally defeated re cently the reputed two best players in the world, Wilding and Brookes, of Australasia, and was even more sensa tionally beaten by his own countryman his name, McLoughlin. - "How did It happen?" McLoughlin said, wit the flicker of a smile that the movies have made familiar to the world. "Why, Williams Just played' tre mendously severe tennis In all depart ments of the game. His service was exceedingly fast, he hit the ball as hard sis I have ever seen It hit when drivintr and he committed very few errors. When Williams is at his best he serves up a most severe game, se vere la absolutely the word. As a rule, he has played in this supreme style for a few games and then cracked up and thrown his match away by hitting outside the courts or Into the net. But he made very few mistakes and main tained a breathless pace. He won by magnificent tennis, there Is no doubt about that, and If I had to surrender the pennant there is no one to woom.i would rather have nanaea n over, know him so well and like him so mucn. The only regret I had was expressed to him when I said: 'What a pity you rtld not nlav like this in the Davis cup games. America would have kept the cup." " DR. STEWiTCLEAREO CHARGES AGAINST AGGIE ATH LETIC DIRECTOR FALSE. Investigation Committee Head Says No Action Bordering On Professional ism Wan Shown by Inquiry.

Krause, chairman of the Investi gating committee, vlndlvated Dr. E. J. Stewart, director of athletics, and declared that rumors circulated relative to the morality and honesty of the head, of the department of athletics were groundless without ex ception. The committee, composed of promi nent faculty men and students, was ap pointed last Spring by President W. J. Kerr. An element unfriendly to Dr. Stewart had hinted that athletics were tinged with professionalism. The com mittee's Investigation failed' to show an Instance where athletes had been paid to corns to the college, or other action taken that bordered, on profes sionalism. The chairman of the committee said that It was emphatic In Its assertion of the belief that Dr. Stewart should be retained as director of athletics. The report of the committee was greeted with applause by the students.

Fame Depend on W eakness of Other Fellow in Game. Fame, all too frequently In thl sportive whirl, depends upon what the other fellow has to offer. One man is a winner and a star and a hero because the other fellow wasn' there. Another may do even better work and be overlooked because hi opponent delivered In bulk. There's the case of the Boston Red Sox and the Braves. The Braves hav absorbed practically all the glory. They are getting the big headlines and th big crowds. Yet the Red Sox. against all-around stronger competition, hav won more games and lost fewer than the other Boston delegation. The main answer is this: The Braves had th Giants to beat out; the Red Sox had th Athletics. It wasn't a case of better ball playing by the Braves but of weaker competition. The "other guy factor is a big one in acquiring glory in any game.

MANY VETERANS PRACTICE Captain Convllle Slay Shift Himself to Line Oregon Aggies May Have Better Chance Than Ever With Old Foes. Luke Radar, who was a star back- field man at Willamette University under Dr. Sweetland three or four years ago, is the latest to loin the Multno mah Athletlo Club football machine. Rader turned out yesterday for his first practice and was hailed with glad acclaim by Captain ConvllL Be weighs about 175 pounds and is fast and will make up In some measure for the loss of Walter Keck, who has not shown up for practice yet. If Keck falls to report the backfieia will consist of "Chuck" Taylor, Con- vlll, Strlebig, Francis, Ob Day and Rader in the backs, and Hargreaves, of Wabash, and Patterson of Lincoln High, at quarter. Rodes will not come West, it was announced officially yes terday. Convtll May Go oa Line. It Is barely possible that Captain Convill will shift himself back to the line if he finds he has a plethora of backfleld men. Veteran linemen who showed up yes terday at the weekly practice were Patsy O Rourke, the 210-pound tackle; Clyde Rupert. 200-pound guard, and George Philbrook, ez-Notre Dame 196 pound taokle. Holden. of last year's Oregon team, was also on hand and Is being counted on for one of the guard positions so the club seems well fortified at guard and tackle. 60 far the ends seem weak, although Strlebig can be used at end when not in the backfleld. Bradshaw. captain of last year s Oregon eleven, was on the sidelines yesterday and It Is expected that "Brad" will yield to persuasion and show up in time to participate in the Oregon-Aggie game October 10 on Multnomah field. Contract Is Not Returned. The Oregon Aggies have not yet re turned the contract for this game, ac cording to Dow Walker, but he thinks there will be no hitches. 'Multnomah, however, agreed to pay two games with the Aggies when the original agree ment was entered into and recently re fused to play the October 3 engagement at Corvallis, owing to the inability of several members of the squad to make the trip. Naturally the Corvallls athletic heads are a trifle disappointed because It cuts them out of one home game. Also the Aggies would have caught the club at an opportune time to have gained revenge for some of the beatings of the past. Last Fall the Oregon Aggies played Multnomah a 6-0 game on Multnomah Field and the following week the two teams battled to a 7-7 tie at Corvallls.
