THE MORNING OltEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER SO, 1914. FOUR BRAVES ARE FROM NORTHWEST FORMER NORTHWEST LEAGUE PITCHER WHO HAS BEEN STAR OF BOSTON BRAVES IN FIGHT FOR THE NA TIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT. Leading Pitcher of Pennant Winners Rube Kid at Seat tle Two Years Ago. Adwasfe or Believe m 'PwMMm?- 4 , .Z: EX-PORTLANDER ON TEAM Statistics Indicate Boston's Chance Against Athletics Should Be Slight, but in Reality Club Discredits Dope. Northwestern ball fans will welcome the pennant ambitions of the Boston braves this Kali -with particular warmth. Four of those instrumental in landing the flag hall from the North west League and one of them. Bill James, of Seattle, leads the team pitch ers with 23 wins and six defeats. James was a big rube kid when he broke in at Seattle two years ago. The other Northwesterners are Bert Whaling, catcher, formerly of Port land; Outfielder Mann and Pitcher Paul Strand. James and Mann played with Seattle, and Strand with both the San Francisco and the Spokane In dians. Two other Northwestern Leaguers, First Baseban Myers, of Spokane, and "Wynn Noyes, of Spokane, a pitcher, were taken by Boston in the same haul, but both were sent back. Myers refused to play in the International League and is now a Federal, while Noyes is back in Spokane. Dope Against Braves. Dope is a most peculiar thing, more like the feline than man's best friend. It turns and bites its masters at the slightest provocation. But neverthe less in the dope the Braves do not fig ure even as good as 4 to 5 safe wagers. - In batting they appear puny beside the Athletics' great hitting trio, Baker-Colllns-Mclnnes; in fact, Connolly is the only .300 hitter in the bunch. The teams rank about on a par in the field, but the Athletics have it all over them on the bases. , In stern reality the Braves are a baffling mystery. Aside from the pitching statistics, there is little in the figures to explain their remarkable rise from the cellar to first place. Latest Dope Given.

CHICAGO DEFEATED, 3-2 Clackamas Wardens Warn. OREGON CITY. Or.. Sept. 29. (Spe cial.) Offenders of the game laws in Clackamas County will be chased with motorcycles and Deputy Game Warden Ervln promises that the laws will be strictly enforced. The law prohibiting tne Killing of hen pheasants will re ceive the closest attention from his deputies, he said today, although he realized that in some cases a hunter would kill a female bird by mistake, but in such cases leniency would be shown. Mora 11 Pulls a "Merkle" and Good's Long Kly Is Good for Three Buses When Saier's Sacrifice Gives Cubs Their First Run. BOSTON, Sept 29. A double by Whitted. after Evers had been passed, broke a tie In the ninth inning today, and Boston not only defeated Chicago 3 to 2, but won the National League pennant. It was the last game of the season here for the new champions. Boston's victory was a remarkable one. A tall-end team in mid-season, the Braves advanced steadily from July 14 to September 2, when they reached a tie with the New York Giants. Within two weeks of the latter date they had attained a lead which was never lost. Manager Stallings' success has been gained with a team many of the mem bers of which had been discarded by other major league clubs. The great est single factor in the building of the pennant-winning organization, how ever, probably was the acquisition of Johnny Evers, manager last year of the Chicago Cubs. The visitors' first run was due to a muff by Moran of Good's long fly net ting three bases, and Saier's sacrifice fly. Saier singled In the fourth and ad vanced to third on two wild pitches. When Schulte hit to Hughes, Saier was run down, Schulte . scoring on Bues' triple. Boston's first runs were due to four successive bases on balls and a squeeze play, Maranville bunting toward first as Whitted raced home. Score: R.H.E. Chicago 10010000 0 2 5 0 Boston 00002000 1 3 3 2 Batteries Cheney and Archer; Hughes and Whaling, Gowdy. Giants Lose to Pittsburg, 5 to 2. NEW YORK. Sept. 29. New York, three times champion of the National League, lost today its last chance of winning the fourth successive pennant. Pittsburg defeated the Giants here by a acore of 5 to 2, while Boston, winning from Chicago, was clinching the 1914 championship. Harmon held the local batters safe in the pinches, while Pittsburg hit the ball opportunely. O'Toole gave way to Wiltse after passing the first two men in the first inning, and Wiltse, after the fifth, gave way to Scupp, who held the visitors to one hit in four innings. Konetchy's homer into the left field stand was a feature. Score: rt, H. E.

Sounding the Sport Reveille OAKLAND is trying hard to over haul the Missions, but Tyler Chris tian would please his home team fans more if he would overhaul the Oaks. The Davenport team of the Three Eye League held first place through practically the entire season. This is another traveling day in the American Association and Western leagues. The players are traveling to their Winter homes, as the season closed Sunday. The only leagues still in bloom are the American, National, Federal and Pacific Coast. In his legislative filibuster Senator Burton talked 14. hours and saved $73, 000,000, at which rate Happy Hogan has saved $756,000,572,502,000, while "Pop" Dillon owes the world about $1.69. If Leach Cross should win 12 out of the next 15 bouts with Joe Rivers, the standing would be: . W. L. p.c. Leach Cross ' 31 30 .508 Joe Rivers 30 81 .492 Harry Wolverton and Lloyd Jacobs may get out all right at Sacramento if the capital city fans dig up enough coin to buy the club, as they are try ing to do. The league has offered It to them for $20,000, which means less than $1000 for each player and the franchise thrown in for nothing.. This is dirt cheap, but it is fully as much as the present owners paid Jack Atkin. One thing, nobody has yet accused the Germans of using Joe McGinnity contrary to the Geneva conventionali ties. Ball fans are wondering who will succeed Frank Chance's successor as manager of the New York Yanks. It Is to' be hoped that the neutrality laws will permit the United States to continue the exportation of foodstuffs to Russia. Zbyszko expects to remain at home this Winter. Superstition may cut more .Jigure In baseball than most fans ' imagine. George Stallings, manager of the Bos ton Braves, is easily the most super stitious manager in the big leagues, and nobody has Walter McCredie faded in the minors. An instance of McCredle's supersti tion was shown in Sunday's double bill against the Missions, when McCredie refused to sanction the presentation of the trophy cup to Gus Fisher until his last time up in the first game. Fisher then doubled and wrm the game. Signs and portents affect Stallings in his every move. It is said that when the Braves slipped out of last place the same day the Giants slipped into first plane, Stallings took this as a sure hunch that his team would win the pennant. CHEIIALIS TEAM PROMISING High School Squad Under Coach Leonard May Make Record. CHEHALIS. Wash., Sept. 29 (Spe cial.)

Hardstad is' a right hander. Casey also thinks both Dell and Gipe will make good in the big leagues next year. WASHINGTON' SQUAD IS BUSY Old St. James Club Team Issues Challenge to Portland Elevens.

AGGIES WOULD PLAY Hope Held for University-O. A. C. Freshman Game. SATURDAY URGED AS DAY Contest Today Held Impossible Be cause Xotice Is Too Brief Col lege Men Put Througlt Scrim mage and Four Are Hurt. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallls. Or., Sept 29. (Special.) Football enthusiasts at the Oregon Ag ricultural College have not entirely given up hope for a game between the local freshmen and the beginners at the university, despite Coach Bezdek's ulti matum that the game must be played tomorrow or not at all. Dr. Stewart, local athletic director, feels that the university students will be willing to play at a later date when they under stand the situation here. Dr. Stewart said today: "We are anxious to play the Fresh man game. and. I hope it can be ar ranged yet. Last year the freshman game was arranged early, it being un derstood that only freshmen who had not taken part in a varsity contest were eligible. Xotice Held Too Brief. "No mention of September 30 as a date this year was made until Friday. September 25, three days after our college commenced, and only five days before the date suggested. Mr. Tif fany then telegraphed: 'Will you play us September 30, or not at all? We replied that we could not play then and suggested Saturday, October 3. This date, or the following Saturday, would be all right, because no fresh man would have had a chance to par ticipate in a varsity game.. "Next Saturday seems to us to be a fair date. Neither varsity team has a game that day. The Multnomah Club called off its game with us because it could not get its team together. Reasons Are Given. "We cannot play tomorrow for a number of reasons. Our freshmen have only been together for five days. We did not organize them at the beach and they have not had enough work to play a game." Ralph Pavey, the Ohio State star, who will act as assistant coach this year, arrived yesterday and appeared in a suit in the afternoon to work out the freshmen, who are to be his special care. Pavoy put his boys through a hard grind. He is a peppy coach and became at once popular with the play ers. The Aggie candidates were sent through a stiff scrimmage, with a num ber of injuries as the result. Butt's el bow was dislocated, Groce's ankle was sprained, Williams' side was strained and Royce's shoulder was hurt. MRS.

BIRD SEASON IS NEAR huxtixg starts thursday and game: seisms plentiful. which Seattle dealers in equestrian supplies have been caught unprepared. Riding boots, spurs, crops, saddles and bridles are being demanded In enormous numbers. Rush orders have been tel egraphed to the East for new stocks, but in the meantime the Impatient en thusiasts are fuming and fretting at the delay. . : " Early Kali Shovilng of Ducks Is Taken SIOUX CITY WINS PENNANT to Indicate They Will Be Numerous. Pheananta Found In Numbers. The season for upland and water birds opens Thursday. Game wardens and sportsmen report more early birds than have been around in years. Ducks are expected to be more nu merous than for a long time. It is not usual for them to be here so early, at least in any number, and the early Fall showing is the reason for expecting a better season than before. Just an Instance was that reported by house-boaters of the Oregon Yacht Club. Sunday night several flocks of ducks lit near Hardtack Island and settled in the brush near the Oaks. On Sauvies' Island they are thicker still. On the Columbia Sloughs they are also numerous and hunters expect a heavy bag In the first weeks. A good percentage of the early birds seem to be mallards, which is still more encouraging. The season for pheasants and other upland birds also begins Thursday. The pheasants have had a heavy breeding season because of the long Summer and this sport, too, is expected to be good. The male is the only member of the family which can be shot. Upland hunters should take particular pains to see that their shot does not bag any valley or little blue quail. The closed season recently established pro tects these birds which are now being planted. The limits are: Ducks, 30 In one week; upland birds, five in one day or ten in a week. District Warden Irvin reports the hunters behaving well this year". De spite the temptation of game on all sides none are out getting ahead of the season. Possibly the financial stringency has something to do with It. Twenty-five dollars for birds seems too high for the average Portlander. Also, hunters must Mt shoot between sunset and sunrise. This Is the Fed eral law which went into effect last year. SEATTLE PLANS HORSE SHOW Steeds Suddenly Win Attention of Society for Winter Season. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 29. (Special.) Seattle's society, wearying of the docile obedience of limousine, touring car and runabout, is turning again to its equine friends and Is planning for the Winter season scores of functions In which the horse will figure, among the number being a huge horse show. Seattle also will have a gentlemen's riding club, which will have for its purpose the formation of a crack cav alry company. This organization will be primarily a social body entirely apart from any of military connection, but drilled to ultimate perfection in cavalry maneuvers and available. In case of need, for the country's defense. One of the amusing features of the revival of the sport Is the manner lu Western League Season Reasonably Favorable, Says President. OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 29.
