LOS ANGELES. Oct. 8 (Special.)
Suddenly coming to life in the eighth,
the Beavers jumped onto Klepfer for
five hits, chased him from the game
and went into the lead. In their half
the Tigers tied the score.
Portland took the lead again in the
ninth and again the Tigers came right
baclc with a tieing run. In the 10th
Evans poled out a triple to left and
ecored Kores, who previously had
singled. This 10th inning finish was
too much for the Tigers and they quit
cold, the Beavers walking off with the
second game, 8 to 7.
Second Came Called.
It seems certain that Venice will not
stand in McCredie's way of landing
another pennant. It was the intention
to play two games today, and the sec
ond one did start and go five innings.
. . . i. : . . . . . .
wui. hcilucl nuiie nor luarimoni would
allow a score, so it was called a draw
Just as the sun sank into the sea.
For a time It really seemed that
Venice might win a game. Higgin
botham was run out in the sixth, and
Rieger didn't last long, either. Ban
croft was banished in the first frame
for kicking and, despite fervent ap
peals by McCredie and Rodgers, Um
pire Hayes insisted that he leave the
game. This looked good to Venice, as
Bancroft has always been the thorn in
the Tigers' side.
McCredie Demands) "Conference.
McCredie demanded a '"conference" of
umpires in the sixth on Leard's play
at third. A conference was held,
three minutes lost, and Bill was de
clared safe. Then Davis blocked prog
ress by insisting that time be called
while he bandaged up his foot, which
he said Carlisle cut in sliding into sec
ond. No one but Davis could see any
cut, but time was called again and
three minutes more lost.
It was these delays that shifted the
nervous strain from Portland to Ven
ice, and right after that any chance
Venice might have had vanished. Score:

BEZDEK BECOMES NERVOUS
New Faces on Team and Poor Condi
tion of Grounds Worry A'eteran
on. Eve of Buttle With Arcli
Koe Whitman.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE,
Oct. 8. (Special.) The heavy rain of
the last 14 hours has flooded Kincaid
field to such an extent that the Oregon
light and speedy backfield will labor
under great handicap in Saturdays
game with Whitman, if a ' halt in the
downpour is not called by the weather
within the next aay.
No drainage system is used on the
university's athletic plot and the
water lies in pools until Old Sol gets to
working again. Bezdek will rely upon
his veteran backs to bring home a vic
tory Saturday, and if this quartet has
to swim around in small lakes little
hope is entertained by either the
coaches or students of Oregon finish
ing with the long end of the score.
With the exception of Cook at sunrd
and Beckett at tackle, the lemon-yellow
line is a new one and tho- most
optimistic fan hesitates in pronouncing
it on a par with the line of a year agj.
Four of the new faces, Powne, end
Philbin, tackle; Risley, center, und
Snyder, guard, are freshmen, 'these re
cruits have never 'been under fire yet
and the manner in which they will
stand up under these conditions is a
matter of doubt. Lack of practice games
is responsible for this condition aud
Bezdek declares it taxes his nerves to
send men in a conference game, im
portant as the Whitman contest is,
without at least the satisfaction of see
ing them "under the guns once."
Graduates appearing each evening
are aiding the regular Oregon coaches
in getting the varsity into shape.
"Dick" Smith, former Oregon coach and
at one time an All-American selection
as fullback while playing on the Co
lumbia team. New York, has been out
with the squad each afternoon of the
week. Smith has devoted the most of
his time to the linesmen in an effort to
polish off their work. Dr. Eberle
Kuykendall, quarterback on the last
champion varsity team, has given much
of his time to the care of the injured
and the welfare of the punt receivers.
"Kaki" Moullen, kicker on old lvna
has worked hard with Bryant and the
fullback is showing a decided improve
ment in his boots from placement.
Shifts have been made so frequently
in the varsity lineup that just who
will start the game is yet uncertain;
from appearances Bezdek intends to
use all that he has in an effort to stop
Whitman's march. The Missionaries
are already an early season team and a
hard proposition to handle at any time.
"George. Varnell. sporting editor of
the Spokane Chronicle, will referee,
and Sam Dolan, one time coach of the
Oregon Aggies, is to act an umpire,"
stated A. R. Tiffany, graduate manager,
upon his return from Portland Tues
day. Spoiled His Chance.
(Louisville Courier-Journal.)
"Why don't you propose to that girl?
You like her and I'm sure she would
have you."
"All true, but there is an insuperable
obstacle between us."
"All family or religious objections
can be overcome."
Nothing like that- 1 got a little too
gay when I first met her and told her I
was getting 150 a week, whereas I am
getting only J25."

myself of double-dealing and one word
led to another until we both said things
we should not have said.
Mack Admit! Threat Made.
"Yes. he threatened to punch me
when we met, but I am sure he did not
mean it. I don't see - why he was so
anxious to practice at Shibe Park at
exactly 2 o'clock. . McGraw, of the
Giants, never made such a request and
we never practiced at either the New
York or'Chicago parks previous to the
world s series of 1911 and 1910. Still
I was perfectly willing that the Boston
players should use our park if they
wanted to and X cannot see why Stall
Ings should have become angry when
I could not rearrange my plans at the
eleventh hour to his liking."
Because of the trouble, the Boston
players did not go to Shibe Park at
all, and confined their practice to the
National League grounds, five blocks
away. The Braves devoted more than
an hour to batting and fielding, while
the Athletics were having a similar
workout at their own park. Both man
agers reported that their players were
on edge for the opening game, but
neither would state the order of bat
ting or pitchers who would be called
upon to work in the initial contest.
The general opinion is that Rudolph
will be Stallings' choice because of his
extended experience, while Bender wili
be Mack's selection, since he is known
as the sure-money pitcher and the reg
ular opener for the Athletics in a
world's series.
With the exception of Deal at third
base in place of Red Smith, who broke
his leg in Brooklyn on Tuesday, the
Boston club will take the field in the
order in which it played during the
closing weeks of the National League
season. Some doubt was expressed
early in the week regarding the ability
of Mclnnis to play first, owing to a
bruised hand, but the stocky initial
Barker reported in perfect condition for
practice this afternoon.
Both Teams Confident.
The players and managers of both
clubs professed confidence in their abil
ity to win. Stallings appeared to be
bubbling over with enthusiasm and pre
dicted that his club would surprise the
Athletics and their supporters. Connie
Mack maintained his usual reserve and
refused to forecast the result, merely
saying that he expected a close series.
So far as the general wagering is
concerned the local club is a topheavy
favorite, lew big bets have been re
corded, but in the small wagering the
Athletics have been quoted at odds
ranging from 2 to 1 to 10 to 7. Most
of the betting has been confined to the
number of games to be played and

other similar wagers. The general
opinion is that the series will be won
in either five or six games.
Philadelphia bettors offer 10 to 1 that
the Braves will not win four straight;
5 to 4 that the Athletics will win the
opening contest; 5 to 3 that Boston will
not win more than two games and even
money that the Athletics will score
more shutouts than the National League
representatives. Local sporting men
claim that there Is less betting on the
general result than in any series in
recent years.
While this may be true of the wager
ing, activity in other respects is far
above normal. Although the weather
forecast was unsettled weather, with
occasional rain on Friday, ticket spec
ulators, bleacher fans and police were
all unusually busy tonight. The
coupon venders appear to have plenty
of tickets for sale at prices far in ex
cess of their face value. They asked
and received $15 for sets of $2 tickets,
$25 for the $3 reservations and $40 for
the $5 coupons. While the National
Commission members and out-of-town
magnates were complaining that their
allotments had been cut down and that
they were unable to secure sufficient

The merchant who sells
Hart SchafFner & Marx clothes
You probably know who he is ; the fact
that he sells these clothes is one of the facts
he wants to have known about his store
THERE is hardly a good town in the country
where such a clothing merchant cannot be found;
one sign of the progressive spirit in any town, large
or small, is that there is such a merchant in it.
Generally speaking, the merchant who sells our clothes
is the best in town; as a rule, the spirit of service to the
public which goes into the making of the goods is an
inspiration to the men who sell them.
The merchant who sells Hart SchafFner & Marx
clothes wishes to guarantee the fullest satisfaction to his
customers; he believes in good merchandise, liberal

speculators were parading the streets
offering coupons for almost every sec
tion of the stands.
Ticket Probe Ordered.
Just how they obtained possession
of the bunches of pasteboards only the
members of the fraternity know. Local
fans charge that tne police connived
with the speculators in securing choice
places in the line at the public sale
on Wednesday, and Uirector Porter, of
the department of public safety, has
ordered an investigation.
In the midst of the bitterness due
to the inability to obtain seats some
funny experiences crop out. Three of
the Athletics promised their boar-ding
housekeeper tickets for the series some
time ago and when they failed to make
good their promises the landlady was
so wroth that she ordered them out of
her house, bag and basrsaere. and to
night they are sleeping at the home of
a friend, three in a room.
The widespread interest throughout
tne country in the present series is
demonstrated by the remarkable de
mand for accommodations in the press
tana, close to 300 seats have been
allotted to newspaper writers from all
parts of the United States, Cuba and
even the Hawaiian Islands. Even in
this department many requests for
reservations were refused.
Mack-Shlbe Clash Denied.
Late in the evening the newspaper
corps were sent scurrying by a report
that Connie Alack and John tihibe, busi
ness manager of the local club, had
come to blows over the distribution of
tickets, but this story was emphatic
ally denied by the club management.
scenes about shibe Park tonight be
fore the game were much the same as
in preceding years. At midnight a line
of more than 1000 men and boys trailed
away for several blocks and was ex
pected to increase rapidly as soon as
daylight broke. Many had been in line
for hours and the lunch and soapbox
venders aid a lively business supplying
food and seats to the determined fans,
who realized that the all-night vigil
was necessary in order to secure a
place among the 4000 bleacherites.
Owners of houses overlooking the
park were busy erecting grandstands
on the roofs, but it is doubtful if these
temporary stands will be a source of
revenue as in other years. The police
authorities have announced that spec
tators will not be permitted to view
the games from these hastily erected
structures and policemen will be placed
at the door of every house, with In
structions to prevent the selling and
occupancy of seats upon roofs.
Ihe batting order probably will be
as follows:
Boston Moran. right field: Evers,
second base; Connolly, left field; Whit
ted, center field; Schmidt, first base;
Deal, third base; Maranville, shortstop;
Gowdy, catcher; Rudolph, pitcher.
Philadelphia Murphy. right field:

Baker, third base; Mclnnis, first base;
Strunk, center field;' Barry, shortstop;

THINK OF BUYING PIANOS
Real Pianos for 914, fIS and fits
Apiece!
But every piano must be sold. Used
pianos and new pianos; it makes no
difference. The most costly of all in
struments manufactured; if they must
sell at 340 or $50 apiece, they must go.
Some of the better styles in plain cases,
of course, should bring more, but any
number of pianos from $140 to $150,
for which you will pay twice the
amount any time. You have read ad
vertisements, but this is the best piano
news you ever heard of. Terms to suit
you. Remember the place 3 1, 8 Morri
son street, opposite Morrison-street en
trance to Olds, Wortman & King's.
Open tonight and tomorrow evening
until 9 - o clock, or later. Adv.
