The final struggle in the Pacific Coast League pennant race will begin this afternoon, when the Beavers will open a seven-game series with the Seals at San Francisco and Los An geles will tackle Venice for the same number of games in Los Angeles. The Missions and Oaks will fight it out in Oakland If by any chance the Angels manage to beat Hap Hogan's Tiger crew in all seven games and the Beavers drop five games to the receding Seals. Portland loses the pennant. It is not at all likely, however, that the Angels will win all seven games, and it is Just as unlikely that the Beavers will not be able to capture three games from the Seals. Shirley T. Parker attorney for Royal N. (Hunky) Shaw in his suit for alleged back salary due him from the San Francisco baseball club, says he will file an amended complaint some time this week, asking damages amounting to $4000. A jury in Judge Morrow's court heard the case last week and, after de liberating over night, failed to reach an agreement. The suit was not for damages,' but for $214.35, which Shaw Averred was due him for the time lost (luring his suspension. Shaw was suspended from the San Francisco Coast League Club Septem ber 24, 1911. He claimed he had other chances to play ball, but the club would not give a release to him. He was with the Vancouver Northwestern League team last season. Every player on the All-National and American League teams to play here the last of this month, was re quired to put up $200 as a guarantee that he would take the trip. The first tame was played last Saturday at Mil waukee, Wis. " The teams will play in Portland October 31 and November 1. A plan to have a team composed of Beavers and Colts play the big leaguers here Is being talked of, but it is unlikely the major players will be able to stay over the time scheduled, as they are to play a numoer or games in ainor Iiia before sailing for Honolulu on De cember 2. Portland was the only city in the Korthwest that obtained two dates. . Dave Bancroft, the Beaver shortstop sensation, is being Inquired after by three major league clubs, according to reports from San Francisco. Scout Billy Neil, of the Phillies, is in San Francisco to give Bancroft the once over. Besides Philadelphia, the St. Louis Nationals and an American League club are reported angling for Dave's services. It is said that Walt McCredie looks with favor on the offer the Cardinals have made for his shortstop. Walt says that he is likely to part with Dave and is anxious to get a fair price for him. The Beaver doss also wants to do right by Bancroft and place him with a club where he will be able to show to good advantage. Tom Hughes, the veteran big league twirler with the Angels, considered one of the best judges of youngsters in the country, thinks that Bancroft is a errand little ball player and one of the most likely looking young players he has ever seen. Scout Neil is looking over other pros pects for the Phillies, and it is expected that at least one Coast Leaguer will get a trial at Philadelphia next Spring. Scout Neil looks for a big boom in baseball throughout the country. Be believes that the off season baseball has experienced this year will be made up for next season. FISHER STILL LJiVDS AT BAT Figures Show Howard Second but Wolters Should Have It. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19. Although Gus Fisher, of the leading Beavers, fell oft nine points this week in his bat ting average, his work for the season has been consistent enough to leave him out in front, with a mark of .354. Del Howard, the Seals' manager, no longer can be counted fairly in the run ning, for though Howard's percentage la fin" h haH been out of the enmp for so many weeks that second place Tightly goes to Harry Wolters, of the Angels, who, besides averaging .333, also has lined out 257 safe hits, more than any other player in the league; has eight home runs to his credit, one less than l.ober, of Portland, and is tied with Bayless. of Venice, for 23 two -baggers. Harl Maggert has scored more runs than any other player, but his total of 121 is only two ahead of Wolters. Rodgers, of Portland, has stolen 69 bases and has virtually no rivals. O'Leary. of San Francisco, has bunted out exactly the same number of sac rifice hits, which conies near being a world's record. In team hitting Portland, with a per centage of .27S. is five points ahead of l.oa Angeles. The Beavers' work with the stick is responsible for their stand ing in the league, for in fielding Ven ice, San Francisco and Los Angeles all can show fewer errors.

IOHTLAXl BOY OUT OF GAME Ed Leader's Broken Wrist Costs Him Place on Washington Team. - VX1VERSITT OF WASHINGTON, Se attle. Oct- i9. tSpeclal.) A broken wrist, sustained last Saturday night in a scrimmage with the varsity scrubs, will keep Ed Leader, of Portland. Do bie's choice for right end. out of the running for that position on the Uni versity of Washington football team this season. Leader has been one of he most de pendable men on the varsity this year, and his position almost was assured until Saturday. Leader's absence will be felt keenly in the Washington-Whitman game to be played here next Satur day, as he has been playing with the first team for the past week. FED CO CP XEAR IS K.EPORT Brooklyn Club Backers May Buy Xew Xork Americans, Is Story. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. Local baseball crcles were startled today by a report that Ward brothers, backers of the Brooklyn Federal League club, were ne gotiating for the purchase of the New York American League club. The re- r ............. , -A 1 f If T ? 5 j X ! A - 1 I I i - - 1 Dave Bancroft. Beaver Shortstop, Sought by Three Major League Clubs. port carried a rider to the effect that this move was the first of a series', which eventually would restore peace in the ranks of organized and inde pendent baseball. Frank J. Farrell. president of the local American League club, denied the story. Robert E. Ward, of the Brooklyn Federals, said he ha1 been approached by a man in no way connected with baseball who said that the New York Americans were on the market and asked him if he would consider the purchase of the club. Mr. Ward said that he answered that he would, if the price was right and the other Federal League club owners were protected and recognized by the major leagues. That was as far as negotiations had gone. EVERS IS MET BY TEX BAXDS Great Parade Greets Boston Captain Arriving In Home Town. TROY, N. Y.. Oct. 19. Troy gave Johnny Evers, captain of the Boston Braves, a rousing reception tonight upon his return to his home in this city. There was a parade with ten bands and several drum corps and more .than 5000 men in line. Nearly every organization in the city was rep resented. Captain Evers rode at the head of the column in an automobile with Mayor Burns and he was wildly cheered all along the line of march. After the parade there was a banquet at the state armory, at which about 500 guests were present. Sounding the Sport Reveille ACCORDING to the latest lineup given out of the AU-Amerlcan team that is to come to the Coast this Win ter, "Portland" Bill James will be a member of the squad. "Seattle" Bill will be a membeii of the apposing team. It would be a grijat piece of luck for local fans if these two twirlers should oppose each other on the mound in Portland. At last Cincinnati may Have a ball club. There is talk of putting a Fed eral League team there. . . . The following was received last even ing in the sporting editor's mail. After giving it the "once over" he passed it along with the remark that he has al ready gathered more than his share of wcinkles from putting . friends right who insisted on arguing over such things as" this: Sporting Editor: In a friendly argu ment a friend of mine made the state ment that baseball during the baseball season is the best-paying business in the United States today. I said that farming was a better paying business during that season than baseball. Please answer through your paper telling us which is right. A READER. "How old is Anne?" Dear Mr. Reader, your question takes the prize of all we were ever called upon to answer. Farming is a -large and thriving industry and according to Webster's is the art of "cultivating land." Now it is a well-known fact that during a good season (we do not refer to the one just ending) a baseball mag nate has never been known to want for an overcoat whilst the chilly winds of winter are blowing. On the other hand the modern farmer who owns acres running into 'the thousands also cleans up a neat pile of the filthy lucre in a good season. The difference then, perhaps, is be tween, the farmhand and the ballplayer the two hired hands. In comparing the salaries of these two most valuable assets of the businesses we can easily see that the farmhand would welcome a chance to jump to the Feds. There can be no comparison between the two as a business. ... Connie Mack said that George Stall ing was "too much like Jack John son." However, G4orge must not be mo much like the big colored scrapper after all. seeing that he has Just turned down an offer of umty ump thousand dollars for a three weeks' vaudeville engage ment. Kenworthy, the former Coast Leaguer, batted .316 for the Kansas City Fed erals, according to the official aver ages issued recently. Artie Krueger's name was not "among those present" in the .300 class. a Deeds of the famous must be always flaunted in our face. A Seattle scribe, is telling how Bill James, the Boston twirler, stayed up half the night be fore pitching the second game of the world's series, to secure tickets for a man from Seattle whom he did. not know. VARSITY AT TACKLE Bezdek Makes Team Work to Strengthen Weak Point. ' FJGHTING SPIRIT IS REVIVED Portland Game Great Lesson, Show ing Defects as Well as Advan tages in Training Change in Line Xow Is Likely. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Or.. Oct. 19. (Special.) Coach Bezdek and his squad waded through mud and water this afternoon in an effort to get rid of the kinks which resulted from the hard fight with Pullman in Fort land last Saturday. With the exception of Cawley's severelybruised shoulder all of the men are in fair condition, and no doubt will be sent into a stiff scrim mage tomorrow. Pullman threw a scare into Oregon's championship visions which long will be remembered, and the one great les son taught the lemon-yellow contin gent, at nearly the high cost of defeat, was that tackling is one of the prime factors of modern football. While Pullman and O. A. C. scrap in Pullman Saturday. Oregon will take on Idaho in Moscow, just a few miles distant. The game with Idaho is even more feared than was the one that the Washington Aggies doled out. Coach Strike at Defect. It is this defeat in the Oregon ma chine which the coaches are attempting to remedy, and each afternoon of the time spent at home will be devoted to some extent in "tackling the dummy." This, it is hoped, will better the too evident flaw. That the Oregon team has at last "got the old fight," which ever since Bezdek's' return to the State Univer sity he has' been trying to instill into the spirit of - his players, was amply illustrated in the battle with Bender's aspirants Saturday. Every man wear ing an Oregon uniform fought to the last ditch and as a result a victory was nosed out. Idaho Feared by Bezdek. Bezdek now has the fighting men, and when their tackling gets to such a degree that a quarterback will be unable to return kicks for 20 and 30 yard gains more satisfactory results will be obtained. Idaho is reputed better than a year ago, and if the Bezdek craft sails suc cessfully through tfce storm, a rest of three weeks, with the exception of the Willamette contest, will be enjoyed be fore invading Seattle to give battle to the "Dobie champs" November 14. Changes in the present varsity are inevitable. Lyle Bigbee and Cornwell are men who deserve selection. Malar key and Garrett, in this case, will retire from active service. Huntington, Mon teith and "Skeet" Bigbee are giving veterans a classy go for honors, and before the close of this season may be heard from. Amateur Athletics IN ONE of the first soccer games in the Portland Grammar School League for the 1914 season, the Falling 11 de feated the Davis school 4 to 1. The playing of Nathan Lippman, of the Failing team, was the big feature of the game while his teammates, A. T. Weinstein and Collins, played, well. The Davis school had only two veteran players. This state of affairs was a big handicap to the North Portland school. Leonard Greer was the Davis school champion, scoring the only goal made by his team. It was with little difficulty that the Kerns grammar , school soccer team trounced the Rose City school squad 7 to 0. Mellis, inside left for Kerns, scored four goals, while Richanbacb was another bright and shining light for Kerns. The back of Reese Bates, one of the regulars of the Jefferson High foot ball team, was severely wrenched in the game against Astoria High last Saturday and as a result Coach Jami son may have to leave his guard out of the first lineup against Lincoln High on Multnomah Field next Friday afternoon. Bates reported yesterday, but was unable to do active work, w a One of the leading motion-picture houses of the city is showing the scenes of the various Portland inter scholastic league football teams in action. The Washington High, Port land Academy, Hill Military Academy and Lincoln High aggregations are filmed now and the Jefferson High and Columbia University will be taken and shown later. Tom Mitchell, the Hill Military Academy lineman, who was thought to be seriously injured when he was taken out of the game against Washington High, is able to be around, but he will not be out in a football suit until next week. John Casey, Washington High's stellar center, in whose forehead four stitches were taken as a result of coming in contact with his teammate, Stanley Anderson. in the Columbia game, was out in a suit on the side lines during the Uashington-Hill game last Friday. Coach Earl is trying to have his injured player in the best possible condition for the Lincoln game, slated for two weeks from to morrow. Out of the four football matches played in the - recal league this year, only one resulted in a shut-out, while last season the first five games found the winners winning without letting their opponents score. Only two games out of the 15 found both teams making points in one affair. ALL-STAR GAME CALLED OFF Maroons and Randalls Despair of Contest This Season. No more attempts will be made to stage the game between the Randall All-Stars and the Piedmont Maroons, according to Business Manager W. W. Metzger, of the Portland baseball club. The game was -scheduled originally for Sunday. October 11, but was post poned until last Sunday on account of rain. The inclement weather again called a halt last Sunday and the game has been called off for good. Carl Mays, the former Colt, was slat ed to twirl for the Maroons. Johnny Lush on Way Home. Johnny Lush, one of the mainstays of the Beaver pitching staff, left the team the other day and is on bis way to his home in New York. Lush's father-in-law is seriously ill and Johnny was called to his bedside. Johnny will - report to the Beavers again in the Spring. AYasliougal' Wins I "torn Estacatla. WASHOUGAL. Wash, Oct. 19.

Wrillis O'Brien probably will have to remain in British Columbia for several weeks before re turning to his studies at the university, and the loss, of him at tackle will be felt severely by Coach Callicrate. HOUGK LAUDS FEDERALS LEAGUE IS HERE TO" STAY. SAYS PORTLAND BBOOKFEO. Players) Better , Treated Them by .Other Majors, Avers Pitcher Who Jumped From Connie Hack's Team. Byron Houck, the Portland boy,' who hurdled from Connie Mack's Athletics to the Brooklyn Feds last June, is back in town. . f. The young pitches is all praise for the new league. He says that it is here to stay and will give the majors a run for their money next season. "The Federal League was new last season, and as a consequence things naturally did not run as smooth as they did in the older and settled ma jor leagues," said Houck yesterday. "The Federals, however, treat their players better than do the other two big leagues." Houck jumped to the Brooklyn team from the Athletics when Connie Mack wanted to farm him out to the Balti more club of the International League. "It's pretty hard to do a 'come back' from the minors." said Byron, "so when the Federals offered me more money and Connie insisted on sending me to Baltimore I hopped over. I did not have a very good year with Brook lyn, however, as my shoulder bothered me a great deal. I intend staying in Portland this Winter if I find a posi tion to my liking, and will have my shoulder attended to and will be in good trim when I report to the Brook feds next Spring at the training camp." When asked -how former Portland and Coast' Leaguers were making it in t,he new league Houck replied, "The Portland boys were going fine. Chad bourne and Berry were two of the league's most popular players." .Houck started his diamond career while a student at the Washington High School in Portland. He pitched for the University of Oregon team also before going into organized baseball. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE MADE Christian Brothers' College Starts Pre-Season Series of Games.

SLOUGHS TO BE PATROLED Deputy District Game Warden Ervin Takes Up Matter, of Getting Boat. As a means of patroling the lower river and sloughs. Deputy District Game Warden Frank Ervin has taken up with C. H. Evans the matter of ob taining a boat for that purpose.

COLUMBIA TO MEET ACADEMY Both Inter icholastic Teams Favor Open and New-Stylo Game. Columbia University will send Its football team against Coach "Spec" Hurlburt's- Portland Academy repre sentatives on Multnomah field tomor row afternoon. The academy is tied with Washington High for first honors in the league, while the only start made by Coach Calllcrate's varsity resulted in a 7-to-7 score. Both aggregations are for the open and new-style play, rather than the heavy footballing. The teams will average around 155 pounds to the man. Hugh McKenna, Columbia's 112-pound quarterback, will be the lightest man n either lineup. The squads will go out for a light work-out this afternoon, with signal practice for the most part. Columbia University defeated Pacific College, of Newberg, 19 to 7, on the campus last Saturday, but even with that victory safely tucked away. Coach Callicrate is not as optimistic as he might be. Several changes in the lineup are due. Mike Bloch, who played the first game of the year for the university at one of the tackle positions, may be switched to fullback, and in that event Sharp will have to fill in where Bloch departed on the line. Ray Leonard is showing up well in his punting, and without a doubt he will be called on to do his share of gaining ground via the kicking department. The game will start promptly at 3:1-9 o'clock, and the same officials who have worked at the last three games will officiate.

Russell today received a check for $24, 76. iO for his 1914 prune crop from the J. K. Armsby Packing Company of this city.

The question of where the state cham pionship football game will be played will be decided at a meeting of the student body to be held tomorrow or Wednesday. The decision will rest with the students. Meanwhile Aggie followers of the gridiron game are contenting them selves with reminiscences of t'ae way Willamette was trounced last Satur day and prognostications regarding the outcome of the initial conference game, to be played with Bender's Washing ton State huskies next Saturday. Wil lamette was a disappointment to local rooters, and the big score hung up by the Aggies was taken not as a sure sign of strength on their part, but as an indication that Wrillamette had be come unseemingly ambitions and had ventured out of her class. Wise ones are not permitting themselves to con clude from the outcome of Saturday's scrap that an Oregon Agricultural Col lege victory in Pullman is assured. Rough spots which the coaches de tected in the Aggie play Saturday will be worked out this week- as far as possible. In the forward pass game the locals were unable to make a show ing of any class. The fact that the ball was slippery is of course an exten uating circumstance. The Aggie team will leave' for the north Thursday noon, and the student body will turn out en masse to witness the departure. Bernard, Bender's quar terback find, is the cause of much worry. "Watch Bernard" will be the watchword of the locals at Pullman. THREE BOYS BREAK JAIL Portland Youths Escape From AValla Walla, hut One Is Canght. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 19. (Special.)

CITY ELEVATOR NEARS TOP Workmen Start Bridge to Bluff From Oregon City Tower. OREGON CITV. Oct. 19. (Special.) It is expected that the long cherished municipal elevator will be completed, in every detail in the course of the next two weeks, and at that time all will be ready to turn the water into the big structure, which is of the hydraulic type. A crew of men began the preliminary work on the building of the bridge this morning. As to the water supply to- be used in operating the elevator, there is strong probability that a serious hitch will arise, as the water commissioners are determined that the city water shall not be used in operating the structure. The completion of the building has been held up for several months pending the controversy between Mrs. Chase and the city regarding the ownership of the site chosen for the landing. ORGY CAUSES .
