"With wrecks, rains and deputy sher iffs attacking them along: the entire front, the position of the Portland Pacific Coast League pennanters Is daily becoming more precarious. But the end Is not yet. Trouble never comes solitaire. Rain put the quietus to any hopes for a ball game with the Angels yesterday, and during the lull Irve Higginbotham, Portland's star pitcher, lugged forth the announcement that he intended to sign with a Fed eral League club late this week. "An agent is in Portland now and has made offers to Rodgers, Fisher, Doane and myself," said Hig last night and I for one Intend to sign with him. Yesterday was pay day and when sot mv check I found it was for only my usual amount, nothing tacked on for my extra games as I was prom ised. "So you can say for me that I will sign a Federal League contract Friday afternoon. I can get much bigger mon ey than I am drawing in Portland." Definite Information Withheld. Higginbotham refused to say what Federal League scout was In Portland, but he denied that it was Baltimore he intended signing with. "I'll tell you when the time comes." mused the big pitcher who has won 28 games for Portland this season as against 15 losses. While Hlgglnbotham's threat has to do with his 1915 plans, it is certain that the motives actuating such a move at this early date will not help the Beavers in their last three weeks down Pennant boulevard. Nor will the Davis-Lober investiga tion act as any tonic to the local play. No matter what action the grand Jury contemplates, neither of the two young stars will have to appear personally until after the Coast League race is settled. This at least will be good news for local fans, now that Davis Is needed in the Infield. But if the psychological reactions from the case don't seriously affect the pennant race it will be unusual. In addition to these handicaps, the Beavers face their usual Fall pro gramme of finishing the pennant fight on foreign soil. When they leave Port land Sunday night they go first to Venice, then to the Bay, to Oakland, and finish against the Seals. Opponents) Have Advantage. On the other hand. Portland's two closest rivals 'have all the edge in schedule. San Francisco plays two of the en suing three weeks at home and Venice all three at home. Los Angeles will be at home only one week, so the Angels will have to fight against the same handicap as the Macknaen. Of course, this is working on the assumption that the home team has the advantage, which axiom is not always true. San Francisco, for -one thing, is not as consistent at home as on the hike. It is generally regarded as an advantage, however, to be playing a critical series on familiar grounds. r This afternoon, when the Beavers and Angels resume their final series of the year in Oregon. Walter McCredie in tends sending another southpaw back at the visitors. Lush will be the pitcher to whom will be delegated the task of duplicating Krause's three-hit feat of Wednesday. "I think we'll win the pennant," was Walt McCredie's sole comment on the race yesterday. "Derrick may be ready for service next week and, if nobody is put 'hors de combat.' I guess we'll pull out all right. George Naughton, our : iung Pendleton lnfielder, reported Wednesday and we may find a ready place for him if anybody gets hurt this week."

" CHOICE ASSIGNMENT. Ueoriee Ulldebrand, One thousand dollars for two hours each day during a week's series is pretty high financing, but that's the amount George Hildebrand will get for umpiring In the world's series. Hilde brand went up to the American League only two seasons ago and his appoint ment as one of the two American League arbiters in the series is a high testimonial to his efficency. Naturally, every umpire in the big league was pulling hard for the as signment because they all knew Just how they could use that 1000 to good advantage. The sinecure of the entire season is to stand at the end of one of the foul lines and judge balls batted near the mark. Perhaps "Hildy" may draw a more arduous station than that but even so tlOOO would look pretty good to almost any one. off Baum. 2! at bat In 8 Innings. Credit victory to Baum. Stolen bases. Dowllng.

Ut 'f4 J 3 MOST HUNTERS GET LIMIT OF 5 BIRDS Pheasants So Tame They Are Almost as Easy to Shoot as Barnyard Fowls. DUCKS ALSO PLENTIFUL Game Wardens Are Out Entire Day, but Find Xo Violations of Law. Work of Organized Gun and Fishing Clubs Shown. Almost every man who toted a gun out to the fields yesterday grot the limit of five birds. It was pheasant that at tracted them most. Some few took a train down the river for ducks, as the rain seemed conducive to results in that particular field. They also had success. The game wardens were in the field the entire day, but found no violations of the law. In almost every direction hunters were almost as thick as birds still not quite, as the big majority came oacK with their limit. "I believe that the campaign of edu cation is bringing results," said Frank Irvin, district warden, after the day's work. "Hunters no longer believe that the law is their worst enemy, and in fractions. I am sure, were few. "We found none. The work of or ganized gun and fishing clubs is shown by the spirit of the men in the field. They join such a club, talk about the good of the laws, pledge themselves to keep them and, naturally, most of the hunters are men enough to keep their word." The fields to the west of the city seemed to give up the biggest number of pheasants. The birds were so tame after the long closed season that shoot ing them was almost as easy as getting barnyard fowl. BIRDS PLENTIFUL AT ALBANY Many Hunters Return From Fields In Hour With Limit. ALBANY, Or, Oct. 1. (Special.) Hundreds of Linn County hunters de parted from Albany and surrounding towns early this morning for-the grain fields in search of China pheasants. Many Albany hunters returned to the city within an hour with the limit of five birds. They report plenty of birds for everybody. More hunting licenses were issued this season than in any previous year, and for several days past clerks at the Albany office and in all parts of the county have been working overtime issuing permits. Many persons called for their license, but others made ap plication by mail. . Tuesday 86 permits were issued from the County Clerk's office alone, and yes terday's record is expected to be even larger, Gun stores report the demand for guns and ammunition during the past few days to be the largest they have had. Many women are included among the hunters. DUCKS SCARCE NEAR BAKER. Hunters Accustomed to Getting; Limit Return With Empty Bags. BAKER, Or.. Oct. 1. (Special.) The duck hunting season opened in Baker today, but there was a woeful dearth of ducks. Hunters who have been ac customed year after year to come back after the first day's hunting with limit bags returned empty -handed. The reason Is said to be that an un precedented cold snap in the North has sent the ducks South much earlier than usual. Whatever the reason may be, it is a fact that two weeks ago ducks were flying south in large numbers and there are almost none to be had now. The few ducks taken today were mostly teal, with only a scattering of mallards. Zealous Hunters Kill Before Time. CENTRALIA, Wash., Oct. 1. (Spe cial.) Lewis County Game Warden Nort Wynn has been busy for two days arresting hunters who could not wait until today for the opening of the game season. L. R. Wakefield and J. F. Davis are charged with having parts of an elk in their possession. Their trial has been continued until October f. Mike Lepisto pleaded guilty to killing a deer out of season and paid a fine of ?25 and costs, while Mike Wasika pleaded guilty to hunting China pheasants and paid a fine of ?S. Hunter. Minns License, Fined. Thomas Hislop, retired capitalist, was arrested yesterday by Deputy Game Warden E. H. Clark, near St. Johns. Mr. Hislop was the first hunter caught yesterday who did not have a license." He appeared before Judge Williams and was fined $25.

Deciding presently that he had not been obeyed. Klem directed that the bench be clearl of everybody except Acting Manager Mike Donlln and the bat boy.

Manager of Angels Shows Some Class, bnt Beaver Chief Makes Nine Holes Only In Old Clothes. IN a practice session on the Waverly links Wednesday "Pop" Dillon, Los .Angeles manager, successfully upheld his title as champion golfer of the Coast League by defeating Walter Mc Credie over the first nine holes. The score was (deleted by censor). Golfer Dillon did not exactly burn up .the links, but he showed George Tumbull, who accompanied the party, that when properly primed he knows how to wield the gavels. He is a member of the San Gabriel Club at Los Angeles and, with a better knowledge of the course, could probably do around 41 or 42 on Waverly fairly conslstently. Walt McCredie, on the other hand, is Just beginning to master the rudiments of the Scotch pastime. His golfing vo cabulary, naturally, is yet limited, but he showed extreme promise, mastering some technical golf terms as early as the second hole.

Bancroft is now the sensational shortstop of the Portland Coast cham pions, while the aforesaid Naughton has Just reported for a tryout at the second sack on the same club. Naughton was bought recently by Portland from the Pendleton team of the Western Tri-State League. Since he and Bancroft separated Naughton has switched over to second and Dave to short. '"Dave left Sioux City and played two years at Superior, Wis.," said Naugh ton. "Then Portland drafted him in the Fall of 1911 und he has been here ever since. As for me, I came West three or four years ago and played bush ball up in Idaho, ultimately landing a Job with the Pendleton team two years ago. Naughton is 23 years old and is of about the same build as Dave, although, if anything, a trifle taller. He was , recommended to Portland by Jimmy Richardson, the Portland scout who sent Harry Heilmann to Detroit. Jimmy also found Bobby Davis and recom mended him to Portland.
