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

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.
Here is the latest dope and you are
at liberty to make any deduction you
may wish from the same:

BILL JAMES, FORMERLY OF SEATTLE.
BOSTON TAKES FLAG
National League Pennant in
New Hands, Now.
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:

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

by Cleveland and will be with the
Naps next season.
"He is a big fellow, has speed and
good hooks and ought to prove a win
ner' with a little more seasoning," re
marked Casey. Hardstad is' a right
hander. Casey also thinks both Dell
and Gipe will make good in the big
leagues next year.

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.

Former Yankee Owner Says He Has
No Baseball Plans.
CHICAGO. Sept. 29. Frank Chance,
former manager of the Chicago, Cubs
and more recently manager of the New
York Americans, was emphatic tonight
In telling friends that he had no base
ball plans in mind at present. Chance
and Mrs. Chance reached here today
by automobile from New York. They
will continue in a few days by train to
their home in Southern California.
Chance denied that he was to see
Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chi
cago Americans, or Charles Thomas,
president of the Chicago Nationals.
"I have received no word from either
and don't intend to see either while I
am here." he said. "I am going to Cali

present baseball plans."
Ixbert May Head Phillies.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29. It was
reported in baseball circles here today
that unless there is an unexpected
hitch, John B. Lobert, third baseman
of the Philadelphia National League
team, will be made manager of ythe
club at a meeting of the director1 of
the organization to be held this week.
The contract of Charles S. Dooirt. who
has managed the Phillies for several
years, expires with the close of the
present season.
Lobert has been with the local team
since 1911, when he figured in a big
trade between the Philadelphia and
Cincinnati clubs.
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

but in the meantime the Impatient en
thusiasts are fuming and fretting at

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. The West

Sunday's games, the pennant going to
Sioux City by an easy margin, the
percentage of that team being .636.
Denver was second w ith .571. St Joseph

Lincoln, Omaha, Topeka and Wichita
finished in the order named. '
President O'Rourkc, of the Omaha
club, said tonight that the season had
been a reasonably favorable one and
all that had been expected.
Sioux City Is preparing a post-season
series with an American Association
team.
Army-Navy Game May Be History.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. Because of
