Twixt rain and cold it was not a very fiery farewell that Portland fans accorded their scrapping ball team yes terday. With scarcely 2500 fans In the stand, the Beavers won the final home same of the year from Los Angeles and immediately departed for Califor nia for the final three weeks' dash. Owing to a heavy drizzle, only five innings were played, the score being 6-2. This was sufficient, however, to four-game series with the Angels and to send them off still anchored in first position in the race. Rival pitchers were Higginbotham and Chech. Harry Wolter startled the bleacher ites by stinging the ball for a homer over the right field fence as first man up against Higginbotham. But after that the big Teuton was as solid as granite. Chech Bumped 10 Times. The Angels counted only three hits off Higginbotham, while Chech was be ing bumped for 10 lusty clouts, Ban croft and Doane wreaking most of the havoc. Wolter's homer gave a temporary lead to the Angels, but the Beavers tied the score, 1-1, in the third on Hig's double and singles by Bancroft and Doane. Ryan's walk, stolen base and Lober"s single counted another for Portland in the fourth and the Mackmen trundled three more down the gangway in the fifth on Bancroft's triple. Doane's sac rifice fly, Rodgers' single to short a walk to Fisher and singles by Korea and Davis. Meek's two-bagger into left field netted the visitors their second tally in the fifth. Harry rolled home on an Infield out. Umpire Call Game. After one man had faced Ehmke in the sixth, Khmke having relieved Uhech, Umpire Phyle called the game on account of wet grounds. The rain had ceased falling at the time and the fans left the park rather disgruntled, because a double-header had been advertised. Although Manager McCredie is hope Tul for another pennant, he admitted last night that his team was in poorer Bhape than at any corresponding stage of the race in several years. Bud Weather la Blamed. "This bad weather has put us all out of condition." said he. "In former years we have left Portland In fine fet tle for the final three weeks. Not so this Pall. Still I am hopeful. We'll Cive them a battle." Odds of 1 to 3 are beinn quoted among the "wise ones" here that Portland will not finish in the first division. Catcher Brenegan and Recruit In Belder Naughton were left behind by McCredie. Hi West went south, but 'ill go to his home in Los Angeles. Owing to his bad arm the Macks paid aim in full and told him to rest the last three weeks.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4. Errors which resulted in tallies for the enemy, coupled with slowness on the paths, caused San Francisco's first defeat of the series at Ewing Field this after noon, the game going to Oakland 2 to 1. Standridge pitched splendid ball, and was not responsible for either of the Oaks' scores. The forenoon game, played in Oak land, was won by San Francisco in the sixth inning, when Jones' long double scored Baum and Fitzgerald, the SealB shutting out the Commuters 2 to 0. San Francisco took six of the seven games in the series.

It looks as though those middle weights, Villa and Carranza, could not get a promoter to stage their bout. Those Boston crusers, James, Rudolph and Tyler, may think they have been hit by a TJ-14 along about October 12. Unique golf items come from foreign lands from time to time, one of the latest being an account of a Chinese course which has been laid out in a large cemetery. The rather grewsome links are located near Tient-Sin. and as the Chinese bury the dead Just beneath the surface of the ground and then mound up the earth to a considerable height, the course has been aptly termed one of "A Thousand Bunkers." Special ground rules prevail, including one which permits a player to lift his ball from a freshly-made grave. The Chinese caddies receive 5 cents a round of 18 holes. Umpire Hildebrand intends investing the $1000 he receives for officiating in the world's series, in California prop erty. Herzog says it is his one ambition to play in another world's series and then quit the game. The National League's . Tener -is singing the praise of the Boston Braves.

OREGON SHARES HONORS While Remarkable Performances in East Are Supplying Sensations Some or Speedsters Here Exhibit Great Class. BY HARRY FRAZER. SALEM, Or.. Oct. 10. (Special.) The season of 1914 has been the greatest year that the harness turf has ever known; it has been a year of sensa tions. "World's records have been es tablished and shattered day after day. The year has been the beginning of the two-minute epoch of racing, no less than three horses having flashed through that seemingly impenetrable barrier. First at Grand Rapids that wonder of all wonders, William, only a 4-year-old colt, paced a mile in an open race in 2:00 flat; then Directum followed with two miles in- one race, both in 2:00; then Frank Bogash, that speed demon of Tommy Murphy, low ered his already fast mark of 2:01 to 1:5914 at Syracuse. Certainly this was enough to r lease even the most san guine, but the record-breaking epi demic came back stronger than ever and carried Directum down to victory tover William at Columbus in the al most unbelievable time of 1:58. Another record which has brought many thrills to the followers of the harness horse is the great achievement of Anna Bradford of 2:01 in the second heat of a race. Coast Has Its Stars. But the Grand Circuit and the Great Western Circuit have not been alone in their staging of class. Out here on the Coast we have had our stars. The performances in Western Canada and in California have been truly remarka ble. At the good State Fair in Salem we had some noteworthy performances. On the opening day Dean Swift, a bay geld ing, by Almaden D., driven by Lon Dan iels, won the 2:24 trot over a slow track in 2:08. This performance justifies the prediction of many that he will trot a good track in 2:04 or 2:05 in another year. He started out absolutely green. Do not think that Dean Swift was the only good trotter showing here. Seneca Boy, owned by Carson. " was beaten only by a head by Dean in 2:08. ana is at least a 2:08 trotter, conditions favorable. Dob Pronto Sbotts Speed. Among the pacers at the State Fair we had such fleet performers as Don Pronto. 2:02'4, the glib little black fel low, which Bill Durfee campaigned so successfully over the Grand Circuit in 1912. It was unfortunate, indeed, that he was obliged to race over a muddy track on Friday, when he won the free-for-all pace. Second to him was Hal tamont,, 2:04 U, the fastest horse by record ever bred in Oregon. Halta mont is owned by Anderson Bros., of Portland, and compaigned over the Western Canadian Circuit by Sim Lind say, he won the big 2:10 pace at Win nipeg, beating such good horses as Knight Onwardo. 2:054; College Gent, 2:06; The Beaver, 2:08V4, and lots of other good ones. Oveeda, 2:05, who won the $2000 2:08 pace on Wednesday, is raced by the clever reinsman. Warren Dennis. This good daughter of Bob Fitzsimmons. 2:07, has in the last two years started In 29 races and has won 25 of them, and was never worse than second in the other four. Hal Boy Breaks Record. Hal Boy, 2;124, the winner of the 2:20 on Friday, was not started on Wednesday because the owner did not care to mark him at the last meet of the year. Hal Boy has broken all world's records by winning 15 straight races and more than $12,000. He is perhaps, from every standpoint, one of the greatest, if not-the greatest, race horses the writer has ever had the pleasure of seeing. He is well bred, being by the greatest of sires that old hero of 1899, Hal B.. 2:04. who was located for years at Portland, and only recently was taken back to the place of his birth West Andover, Ohio. Hal Boy is not only a beautiful horse. He is sound, good-headed, fast, and, above all, game. Mr. Childs will train him at Pleasanton. Cal.. this Winter and race him in those $20,000 stakes at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. That he can pace a mile in 2:02 or better, there is not the slightest doubt. . His driver, Marvin Childs, is only 22 years old and is a brother of Frank Childs, who. it will be remembered, took Leta J. back East last year and gave her a mark of 2:03 a world's record for green pacing mares and had the honor of twice defeating the won derful Frank Bogash, 1:59. Mr. Childs also raced this year the pacing horses Imbro, 2:12V4, and Jim Hill, 2:13 Vi, both owned' by Anderson Bros. Out of 4 6 starts Marvin was. out of the money six times. Frank Krwin Back. Frank Erwin. of Boise, was back with four, consisting of the :fast pacers Major Hardy, 2:08. May Davis. 2:08, and the trotters Fitzsimmons, 2:14, and Blanche Fitzsimmons, 2:18. Joe Carson s stable from Winnipeg, driven by Barney Barnes, was here as usual. He was obliged to put up $50,- 000 bonds in order to get his stable across the line, because of the war. He has College Gent, 2:06; Ella Pen rose, 2:07. Strathtell. 2:14, and Ma jesta, 2:14, besides the classy trotter Seneca Boy, 2:15'i. The Oregon horses have made a good showing this year, and especially so at Salem. The Weiss brothers of Port land have a classy stable of horses, all sired by Hal B. They are: Hal Pax ton, 2:10: Hal Norte. 2:17; and the two good fillies, Ruth Hal, second to Chango in the 3-year-old Futurity, and May Day Hal. winner of the Fu turity for 2-year-olds. Halite B. Good Trotter. George Swisher, of Medford, showed a good trotter in Halite B., 2:24, which was a good fourth in 2:08. Swisher also has Albia, 2:11, by Al tivus, which is a fair sort of a horse Fred H. Merrill had the trotting fil lies Leta X. Zombronum and Lila Cruza dos. While they didn't win, they look to make right good trotters. He also has the horse Red Hal, 2:10. which took his record at. Portland the first of the season. Senator Helman, of Pleasanton, is again with us. He started Jerry Zom bro, and the pacer Prince Zolock, 2:16. Good Onea OreKon Bred. It is gratifying to know that so many of the good ones out this year were bred in Oregon, and it is also significant that they were all by Hal B.. 2:04. The first meet of the year Hal Paxton took -a record of 2:104 Red Hal a record of 2:10. and Indian one of 2:10. J. C. B. one of 2:10, and Lady Hal one of 2:11. It is, perhaps, the only case of so many as five green pacers by one sire all tak ing records so fast at the first meet of the year. Summing up the season of 1914 in the West, it has been a very success ful year. And we may look to a great year in 1915, with so many good green ones out this year. The two greatest harness meets of all time will be held at San Francisco next year, and no Oregonian need fear that Oregon's horses will not be at the top, where pacers like Hay Boy are elected to carry the colors.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3. (Special.) "I am pleased to see that Stalllngs Is not making the mistake of many man agers who have won pennants in let ting their team slow down after the flag has been cinched." Del Howard, a staunch National leaguer by reason of seven or eight years' service in the older organiza tion, so expressed himself when he noted that the manager of the Braves is keeping the lineup of his team in tact. "I personally saw the harm that can be brought about by breaking up the lineup at the close of a season," con tinued the Seal manager. "In 1906 the Cubs cinched the pennant early in the season, and no sooner was the flag secure than Stelnfield hurried off to his home, and Tinker, Evers, Hofman, Schulte and practically every regular got out of the game. They figured that the rest would do them good and stayed away from the park for about two weeks. "When they finally got in harness again they did not seem to get going. The layoff put the whole team out of whack, ahd try as hard as they could, the Cubs could not get going. The speed and team work acquired by months of steady play was lost. It is well known how the White Sox sprung the surprise of the season by trimming the Cubs in the world's series. The rest taken by the regulars was the reason. "George Stalllngs evidently is not going to make that mistake. He is sending Rudolph and James in their turn to the mound and is keeping the Fegulars in their positions. A rest of a day or so would not do any harm, but if the team is kept at the top of its game it will go into the world's series prepped' to put up a great battle with the champion Athletics."

"' HUNTERS DECLARE PHEASANTS TAME Yamhill Man Fills Bag in 30 Minutes and Only One Blank Is Reported. DUCKS NOT ATTACKED YET Phil Metschan, Jr., Tells or Making Trip Down Valley and Seeing Plenty of Game, Being With out Gun Violations Pew. BY RALPH J. STAEHLL "We could have shot thxee or four times the limit. If that were permis sible," declared Oscar Weidner, of Yam hill. Or., who brought Ave big birds to Portland friends yesterday. Mr. Weidner is a hopgrower and dealer at Yamhill and the live fat birds which he had were, shot almost in his own back yard. "The farmers around Yamhill were mighty glad when the season opened. It's rather tough to have those flne looking birds Btrut all over the farm all Summer and not have a chance to get them," continued Weidner. "Everyone that has gone for the birds around that part of the country had little trouble getting all the law allowed." Will Weidi -.r, brother of Oscar, went Into the fiela at 5 P. M. Friday and Inside of half an hour had the limit-' Another successful hunter of the Up per Willamette was Lovel Williams, who got the limit in an hour, also shooting In the vicinity of Yamhill. The Federal sunset-sunrise laws' do not apply to upland birds. Pheasants may be shot half an hour before sun rise and half an hour after sunset, ac cording to Deputy Averill. However, one minute before sunrise or a minute after means a heavy fine In the Federal courts for the man who Is shooting ducks. . Ducks are almost forgotten in this first week of pheasant shooting. ' The latter birds are much easier to get, and In almost every direction, while the ducks, though numerous, are procured only after a long ride or tramp. The preserve hunters down the river are not yet out in force. Many of them will go today. However, the biggest exodus today will be to the fields to the east and west of the city, where pheasants are numerous. Phil Metschan, Jr.. was the "sorest" man I had seen in a long time, yester day morning, when relating . his trip down the Willamette Valley from Rose burg. "On all sides of me the hum of our motor started birds from the grass, and me without a gun," remarked Mr. Met schan. rather disconsolately. "However, we left Portland before the season was open and can hardly he blamed. "Further up the valley I noticed great coveys of quail and partridges, but by far the more numerous were the phearsants. The first thing I did upon arriving home was to clean up my guns and get a license to leave for the fields." e Dr. Dwlght F. Miller was one of those who arose on Thursday morning, bright and early, built a fire under his little automobile to wake It up. and finally started for the country out near Gaston. All the way out he kept figuring how he might shoot over the limit and keep it from the game wardens, who, he declares, were thicker than pheas ants. He had it all figured out to stuff a bird or two in the casing of the extra tire on the running board. And then he came to Gaston. In fact, he stayed around there all day, but evidently the rattle of his en gine had scared the birds all away. At any rate. Dr. Miller was one of the few men to return home empty-handed upon the opening day. Incidentally, Dr. and Mrs. Emerson are still waiting for the pheasant which ne was going to leave for them that night. Willard Cook, 'of Rockaway, was caught killing female China pheasants by Deputy Game Warden Clark. He was taken before Judge Rollins, of Gresham, and fined $25. According to game wardens violations of this nature are fewer than ever before. AMERICAX LEAGUE. ' Detroit 11, Cleveland 6. DETROIT. Oct. 4. Detroit, fighting for third place in the pennant race, closed its season by defeating Cleve land. 11 to 6. here today. Cobb's hitting and baserunning brought victory to the Tigers, but Cleveland's weird de fensive work helped to swell the score. Cobb's drive past Leibold and beyond the flagpole in the sixth Inning was his second home run of the season. Washington must win two of its re maining three games to finish ahead of Detroit.

Howard Ehmke, Dillon's kid twirler. is perhaps the richest player in the Coast League. An uncle of Ehnfke's. who made quite a fortune growing Cali fornia oranges, bequeathed Howard S33.000. "My good fortune will not affect my diamond career, however." said Ehmke yesterday. "I will continue to play the game as though I had to depend on it for a livelihood." This season will be Ehmke's first and last on the Coast. He is slated for Clark Griffith's Washington squad next year. Ehmke created quite a sen sation earlier In the season by winning eight straight games. Dillon intends to use him in one of this afternoon's games. OPEN GAME IS TESTED HARVARD PASSES ALMOST EQUAL PLISGES AND ESD RCXS. With One or T-wo Exceptions Eastern Teams Are Better Developed Than On This Date Last Year. NEW YORK, Oct. 4 That the East ern college and university football teams are testing the so-called open game, with its many variations, was shown In the contests Saturday. For ward passing, both from mass and widespread formations, was almost as common as line plunges and end runs. The teams of both the large and small Institutions used the play repeatedly, the success or failure of the maneuver depending more on the defense of the opponent than the method of deploying the offense. The upset which marked the play among the major elevens cannot, how ever, be charged entirely to this style of game, which Eastern coaches here tofore have hesitated to adopt except as a secondary form of attack. The de feat of Pennsylvania by Franklin and Marshall came as the result of the pow erful offense and defense of the latter, coupled with the ability to follow the ball and to profit by the Quakers' errors. Forward Pass Beats Cornell. Colgate's triumph over Cornell was due to much the same condition, al though the winning score was made on a short forward pass, following a re turn run of a kick-off. Fumbling by Cornell at critical stages nullified many yards gained in straight play. Strength and weakness developed in unexpected quarters. Princeton found Bucknell harder to defeat than Rutgers a week ago. Virginia gave a surpris ing tussle to Yale, the Southerners showing an all-around knowledge of the game that caused the Blue uneasi ness until the final whistle. Harvard, on the other hand, out played the Springfield Y. M. C. A. Col lege, one of the first of the Eastern Institutions to develop the open game, using the tactics that have made the "teachers" formidable for several sea sons. Crimson Form la Good. Captain Brlckley kicked his first field goal of the season and scored two touchdowns. The Crimson play, both offensively and defensively, was the best shown so early in the season in several years. With one or two exceptions the de velopment of the Eastern elevens was demonstrated to be ahead of last year at this time and large scores were fre quent. Harvard. Dartmouth, Syracuse. Brown. Pittsburgh and the Army all rolled up totals that ranged from 20 to 80 points. Eastern point honors went to the Washington and Jefferson team, which crossed the century score mark against Dickinson. Experts reviewing the results of games in the Central states were in clined to believe Chicago's chances for retaining the championship of the con ference are good. The crushing of Indiana only partly indicated the strength of the Maroon attack, for the slowness of the Hoosiers, when they had the ball, probably delayed the game long enough to prevent Chicago's scoring an additional touchdown or two. Illinois Shows I p Well. Reports from Minnesota and Wiscon sin camps Indicate the Gophers and Badgers have not developed as rapidly as their friends wish. The North Da kota squad proved worthy foemen to the Williams eleven, and Lawrence's defeat gave Wisconsin rather a hard problem. Illinois' husky crowd found little opposition from Christian Bro thers' College and may prove runner up to Chicago, experts think, while Purdue, In its defeat of Wabash, showed signs of possessing championship qual ities. Iowa's lop-sided victory over the Normal eleven leads to the belief that the Hawkey e team may- be one to be reckoned with, but Ohio and North western disappointed their rooters. Michigan's scoring machine seemed to have come to life in the one-sided defeat of Case, but the Cleveland eleven was not up to the caliber of its predecessors, it Is believed here. STARS JOIN HILL TEAM ACADEMY GETS TWO MORE FROM FRANK E. WATKISTS' SQUAD. Coach la Pleased With 8-to-B Score Aa-alnst Vancouver and Ready- for Jefferson High Contest. Two more stars from the Frank E. Watkins football team. 1913 champions among local Independent teams, have migrated to Coach Bill Graham's Hill Military Academy squad, bringing tne total to six from the same eleven. Be sides Mascot, Hyberg, Roily Jones and Derbyshire, Christensen and Tom Mit chell have cast their lota with the ca dets. The showing the local aggregation made against the Vancouver High con tingent Friday afternoon was more than pleasing to Coach Graham and he says that there are only a few more in structions to be given before he is ready to send his team against Jeffer son High next Friday afternoon on Multnomah Field. "The squad Is so small that I have been unable to give the right amount of scrimmage and our game last Fri day against Vancouver was the first real workout we have had," said Coach Graham last night, "and the 6-to- score indicates that I have a promis ing looking bunch. "Little preparatory work has been done by me In the way of active play, for I have had to spend most-of my time with the green material. I have only three letter men on the team, so I have had to teach falling on the ball, tackling and catching punts." Roily Jones has been doing the punt ing for the cadets and he has bees getting them off to a rocd start.

This Is the Last Call. tain Sam Graham, brother of Coach Bill, has been taken from the back field and sent to a tackle berth. The switch, was to be temporary, but he Is a tower of strength on the right side of the line and the coach probably will let him remain there until after the first setto at any rate. Scott is the other tackle. Kenneth Farley. who is being groomed for one of the end positions, is a former Lincoln High athlete. He Is playing left end, and Mitchell. Herron and Hyberg are fighting it out for the other extremity. Jack Dan and Christensen are slated for sentinel duty. Bob Stewart has been seen In the pivot position, but Hyberg may be taken from end to center. In the backfield. Coach Graham prob ably will place Mascot at quarter, Mc Neil and possibly Hunt at right half. Roily Jones at the other half and "Dashing Donnle" Derbyshire at full back. The first Portland Interscholastio League football game will be played on Multnomah Field Wednesday after noon with Washington High and Co lumbia University as the principals. STRING HELD OX BROJILET Nick Williams Says Oaks Will Have to Produce $100 for Pitcher. Pitcher Bromley will cost the Oak land Club of the Coast League 3100 if they want to keep him, as the young twirler Is still the property of the Bal lard club of the Northwestern League, says Nick Williams. Bromley was signed by Nick for tha Portland Colts early last Spring. He did not show much, however, and was sold to the Moose Jaw club of the Western Canadian League for 3100. At the time Bromley seemed satisfied, with the deal and accepted transport tation to the twilight town. Later, however, he turned back his ticket and. went to California. Tyler Christian picked him up last week and in a game against the Seals he made a favorable Impression. Before Williams signed him Bromley played in the California bushes. . St. Johns Athletes Elect.
