BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. We'll admit there is some slight in ' terest in, the pennant fight in the Pa T cifio Coast League. But for the next 10 days this interest will be very much in the eclipse of the world's series. In 1. Portland, as everywhere, the fans are " for Boston, and yet, while 90 per cent of Portland fans are pulling, for the under dog, the man who hints that Boston really has a -show is put down : as a dreamer. No ball club has ever existed that could not be beaten some time, how ever, and it is our guess that this is Boston's year to humble the great Ath letics. The Boston Red Sox recently demon strated the truth of the above plati- - tude by running the Mackmen off their teft, and what one ball club has done other teams can do. Dope Favors Athletics. On plain dope, of course, there is nothing to" the story but Philadelphia. 7 ' The Athletics have the edge n bat ting, thanks to the Baker-Collins-Mc-lnnis combination, and with fielding i and pitching about on avpar, the pro Philadelphia opponent has every argu . . ment in his favor. It's our guess that the big. surprise this Kali will come in the pitching. Southpaw pitchers have annoyed the Braves more than rightwheelers during the 1914 National League race. Plank may prove a thorn in the region of the Boaton lower vest pocket, but we have - a hunch that the Indian, Bender, is - slated to fret his bumps at last. If the Braves get to one of the two " veterans, it will be good night, Connie Mack. Bush pulled the Macks out of a hole last Fall: Adams was a big Pirate star in 1909, yet the chances are extremely , heavy that no such phenomenal hurl ing stunts will feature this campaign. Opening; Battery Guessed At. James, Rudolph and Tyler have car ried the pitching burden for the Braves with remarkable success. If Seattle Bill James were not the youngest of the trio, doubtless he would be Stall lngs' choice for the opening game. He , may be, anyway, but, guessing again, we'll venture the opening day battery as Rudolph versus Plank. Rudolph is the most experienced of ' the Boston trio and the smallest. He - is built on Gene Krapp proportions. . ' He is a slow ball pitcher by compari son with James. ;. Tyler is a southpaw and, we believe, Tyler and Rudolph will trouble the Athletics more than our own Bill James. American League southpaws like Ray Collins and Tex Russell in ; variably have held the Athletics to few ' hits during the past campaign. Tyler Wins Seven of Right. In one streak last Summer Tyler pitched eight most gruelling games, won seven of them, lost the eighth by one run in 10 innings and shut his op- J ponents out in five of the string. Heinle rr Zimmerman always could hit Tyler hard, but such southpaw batting stars as Iaubert and Good have been even weaker against him than Connolly, of Boston, is against portsiders. In a long series-we do not doubt but that the Athletics would be returned the victors. Hitherto they have been invincible in the short sets, too, but the Boston Braves play different ball than the New York Giants. The Braves conduct their attacks in sharp, brisk fusillades. They have shown the faculty of coining runs on few opportunities. Their hits come in ripe, juicy clusters, and this snappy, consecutive hitting, supported by daunt less nerve and much paprika, is the . only sort of playing that can hope to squelch the present world's title- - holders. Season Fine for "Goats.' This has been a fine open season for the "goats." 'Al McCoy knocked the V daylight out of George Chip; Willie Ritchie got his from Welsh and White: McLoughlin was sandpapered by Wil liams; Harvard's crew took the Yale wash all the way; Walter Johnson and Rube Marquard have been in the dumps; the American polo team might have been riding merry-go-round plugs for all the effect its members had on the British; the Federal League was going to "blow" July 4; the Giants were scheduled to win the National League pennant. And, last, but not least, the Kaiser had planned on dinner in Paris about September 2. If there is anything in hunches, this is Boston's year! NEW YORK, OctTi James C. Smith, third baseman of the Boston National League club, broke his leg above the ankle in sliding to second base in the ninth inning of the rirst game of the double-header with Brooklyn today. Smith will be unable to play in the world's series. Deal, Dugey or Whitted will probably play in Smith's place in the big series. SEALS 1)HAW NEARER PENNANT Missions Are Defeated, 5 to 12, While Beavers Are Idle in 'South. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. i. San Fran cisco drew a half game nearer the lead in the pennant race today by defeating Mission 12 to 5. while Portland re mained idle in the south. Today's game was "Skeeter" Fan ning's 11th consecutive victory. He was touched safely 12 times, but the perfect fielding of his teammates and their ability with the willow made the game a walkover.

A conference today between Secre tary Daniels and Lieutenant-Commander Fairfield, of the Naval Acad emy, failed to bring about an under standing and both the Navy man and Colonel Wilcox, representing West Point, were personally notified that the War and Navy departments had made their last effort to find a solution of the disagreement as to the site of the game.
