BUGS ANALYZE PLAYING Some of Majors Credited With Be ing Better Than Beavers and Others Passed Up as If They Are Busners. About 1600 Portland fans courted chilblains yesterday and saw the game between teams composed of American and National League players. "Port land" Bill James was on the mound for the Americans and lost. 2-3. He op posed Grover Alexander, of Philadel phia, one of the greatest pitchers In the world and he looked It. Gate re ceipts were only $750. Before half of the first Inning had been finished the baseball bugs were busy comparing this and that big loae-upr with members of the Beaver squad. Some were accepted as being better players than the man in tne Kama nnsltion on the home team, while others were passed up like bushers at the Spring training camp. Remarkable Catch Made. Ray Chapman, of Cleveland, fielded a line drive hot off Carey's bat In the fifth Inning In sensational style. The ball went whizzing for left field, but as It passed over short Chapman Jumped up Into the air about three feet, stuck hi. e-inveri hand Into the upper atmos phere and pulled the ball out of the clouds. It was a remarkable stunt, but Dave Bancroft has done the same thing in thA Rn me wav at the same place. Bancroft has it on either of the short stops in fielding. In the sixth canto Snodgrass. of New -York, muffed Lewis' fly much like the one that made . him famous In that memorable world's series. In right field Dolan, of the Phillies, showed considerable class In fielding hits off the fence. He picked them off the boards and heaved them to the bases with one motion. Three attempts were made to steal second by players on first. Byrne and Killlfer. of the Nationals, and Lewis, of the Boston Americans, took a chance. The ball beat them to second by about three feet every time. The baserunners evidently had a great deal of respect for Henry's pegging ability, for all the National Leaguers watched themselves close on the bases. Burns, of New York, at third for the Nationals, came near gumming up a play in the second Inning, when he went In to the pitchers' box to field a bunt. Alexander, however, took the play. Burna Makes Error. Burns Is an outfielder, but showed considerable speed at third. He was chalked up with an error In the first, when he let Lewis' liner get away from him. ' Henry, Washington catcher, with the Americans, was fast with his peg ,to the bases. In the fourth Inning Alex ander fanned and Henry caugnt iiiiu fer at second after he had taken a long lead and Btarted for second with James' motion. As the players are due at San Fran cisco and have a game -scheduled at Medford, they departed last night. After playing several games In California the teams sail for Honolulu. Nationals Get Lead. Concerning yesterday's scoring de tails, singles by Carey and Burns gave the Nationals a two-run lead In the first. Singles by Hoblitzel and Mori arity put over a tally for the Ameri cans in the fourth. Each team scored again in the seventh. James contract ed a streak of wlldness, hitting Dolan and walking Carey. Burns' single scored Dolan. Morlarity's double brought In the -second run for the Americans. The score promise, was second In the 2:20 class. JSotb trotters go on to Phoenix, Ariz. - Palmer Clark, the Chicago horseman, has been down South, where the text la for everybody to buy a bale of cot ton and so keep the market from decay.

Oregon's greatest pacing sire, now owned -in Ohio, is quite an atraction at fairs in his district. He is also popular with the Ohio breeders. In . the Northwest meetings a Hal B. that could pace in 2:10 was too common a circumstance to attract much com ment. C. A. Harrison, of Seattle, shifts his hotel off his mind every oncejn a while and buys a new horse. The latest is a handsome 3-year-old filly by The Bondsman, acquired at Woodland. Cal. Mr. Harrison then sold this filly to' William Miller, of Seattle, and she has been sefat to the well-known trainer, J. B. Stetson, at the Salem track.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1. Garry Herrmann, chairman of the National Commission, returned tonight to Cincinnati, and is said to have taken with him a plan for the settlement of the fight between organized baseball and the Federal League. This afternoon he had a tele phonic conversation with Charles Weeghman. president of the Chicago i1 ederals, ana later conferred with B. B. Johnson, president of the American League. Except to admit that preliminary ne gotiatlons for ending the baseball war were discussed, Herrmann would say little. "Before the subject of peace was broached in New York we all swore ourselves to secrecy regarding the ne gotiations," said Herrmann. "It was agreed that publicity probably would wreck our plans, and we will say noth ing until we have reached some de cision." The plan being considered is believed to Include the absorption of the Federal League by organized baseball and leave only the American and National Leagues in tne major class. Representatives of the Brooklyn, Pittsburg and St. Louis Federal League clubs conferred today with President James A. Gilmore, but none of the par ties in conference would discuss it.

HARNESS NOTES a LTHOUGH Northwest horses do not X"V hibernate exactly, they are let down for a long Winter's rest and what training is done from this on finds its course along the hot stove route until Spring. Quite a parcel of harness horses are wintering at the Portland track, now managed by Fred T. Merrill. John B. Stetson, John Kirkland, J. T Wallace and several others are in Win ter quarters at the Oregon State Fair , grounds. The rumor that Albert To iler has Joined the trainers is a mis take. . The headliner of the "Old Glory" sale advertising is The Bondsman, Cantata McCall bought this famous stallion a few years ago for $11,000 but, finding that the horse is not re ceiving the patronage his merit war rants, is sending the sire of Colorado E. (3). 2:04. to the sale ring. This is a decided loss to Oregon and the Pat clflc Coast. The great Lexington, Ky meeting, billed for two weeks, saw only five days in which racing was possible. The rest of the time it rained constantly, so that postponements and cancellations were imperative. No greater race meeting was ever staged in America, (seventeen thousand dollars in stakes and purses were undecided and more than $8000 in entries had to be refunded and the association lost more than 815,000. ... m - At the stadium track in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, the local driving associations have weekly matinees dur ing a large part of the year. The free f or-all pace two weeks ago today brought out such class as Teddy Bear and Zulu Belle, and the three heats were paced in better than 2:10. the mare taking the -middle heat in 2:07 which on a three-quarter-mile track is a remarkable feat.

Great North ern, a gelding of fine form and, trotting MERICAN football gradually is coming back into its own in Southern California. The University of California gave up Rugby this Fall and Joined Occidental and Pomona, and now the Sherman Indians have announced a comeback after years of lackadalsy A few years ago Sherman was the Car lisle of the West. It played Carlisle to a 6-6 .tie back in 1903 before 700 Los Angeles fans. Sherman expects some post-season game this Fall with the Southern colleges. "What does Harvard's 7-0 defeat ot Michigan prove, anyway?" asks a foot ball fan. "Michigan beat the Michigan Aggies only 3-0, whereas Nebraska wal. loped the Aggies 24-0." It doesn't prove much except that Harvard was better than Michigan Saturday afternoon between 2 and o'clock. "Jim Lockhart, of last year's Idaho team, has a friend on the Michigan varsity, remarked Coach "Pink" Grif flth, of Idaho, before the Oregon Aggie VV ashington game Saturday. "This friend told Lockhart in a letter recent ly that Yost had the greatest backfield ever gathered together but that the Michigan line was weak." ... Christy Matnewson recently was asked if he would advise a boy to take up rootDaii. r- That is a hard question to answer, replied "Big Six," who formerly was star himself. "Much would depend upon tne boy s build and strength. I am sur that football makes a boy more reliant and manly, for there is no room in the game for the boy with the least taint of the quitter in him. It also induces lni to take pride in the condition of his body. If a loylwere physically fit would let hlifl.play football." That both McPherson and Gellatlv. of the Washington champs mid-section, are due for a slide to the second team is the belief of the wiseacres as a re sult of their showing against the Cor vallls huskies. OTHER TEAMS STRONGER Coach Stewart, of the Oregon Aggies. thinks he was given the worst of the weight comparisons in doping the Ore gon Aggies at. 177 pounds and Wash ington at 183 pounds. And the Seattle newspaper men and Dobie raved when they saw the Aggies trot upon tne Albany field. Got us by five pounds," declared Dobie. So there you are. In the meantime our original state ment that Washington and the Aggies are the heaviest teams in the confer ence still goes. ILLINOIS TITLE CONTENDER Chicago Stock Falls With Scoreless Tie With Wisconsin. CHICAGO, Nov. 1. As a result of yesterday's decisive defeat of Minne sota, the University of Illinois football team looms large as the probable cham pion of the Big Nine conference this year. The- swift scoring machine de veloped by Coach Zuppke at Illinois has no apparent equal in the entire West. The Illinois have yet to meet the Uni versity of Chicago, but the Maroons lost heavily in prestige yesterday, when Wisconsin held them to a scoreless tie. The interlocking schedule of the con ference, however, may make a decisive championship record impossible. t. . , , . vuiuagu a pruopecii were jarKgnea by the loss of Halfback "Dolly" Gray, the mainstay of the Maroon backfield. Gray broke an ankle bone yesterday and, it is expected, will be out of the game the rest of the season. Of the undefeated teams in the con ference, Illinois has to play -the crip pled Maroons November 14 and Wis consin a week later, when Chicago will bo playing Minnesota. The Minnesota team's great rally when It scored scored against Illinois yesterday after Minnesota seemed to. be overwhelmed In the last period, showed that the Gophers have a fighting . team good enough to check any. team in the con ference. ' BT ROSCOHS. FAWCETT. When the Oregon Aggies held the Washington champs to their first scoreless game In six years , Saturday at Albany, they proved the truth of certain predictions, namely, that Coach Dobie Is Just about at the parting of his ways. - The champs are not as strong as In recent campaigns. The beef and brawn is there, but the boys lack the pep and dash that Wee Coyle used to in ject Into them. The 0-0 score showed that. On the other hand, it would appear as though the Oregon Aggies. Oregon, Washington State and Idaho are all more formidable than last season. Washington does not play Idaho, owing to Dobie's refusal to take the long' trip to Moscow. His champs do tackle Oregon and Washington State, how ever, and that means two more bang- up battles. Bender Has) Fighting; Team. On' the dope there isn't much to choose between the Aggies, Pullman and Oregon. Washington State lost to Oregon and to the Oregon Aggies by the same score, 7-0. Also these two teams got the "breaks" or they would never have piled out on top of the heap, which means that Johnny Bender has fighting aggregation that- must be reckoned with. Given the "breaks" that Washington had in the Aggie engagement Satur day, we believe any one of the three teams would wallop Washington. Many critics argue that the heavy field handicapped Washington, which is true to a certain extent. It is equally certain, however, that on a dry day the Aggies would not have tumbled so dis astrously when they had the champs on the hike. It was these fumbling breaks" that saved Washington from a licking. Card for Season Given. The football card for the remain der of the season is as follows: November 7 Idaho versus Washing, ton State, at Pullman. November 14 Oregon versus Wash ington, at Seattle. November 14 Idaho versus Oregon Aggtes, at Portland. November 14 Whitman versus Wash ington State, at Spokane. November 21 Oregon versus Oregon Aggies, at Corvallls. November 26 Oregonversus Multno, mah Club, at Portland. November 26 Washington State ver, sus Washington, at Seattle. November 26 Idaho versus Whitman, at Walla Walla. or course, tremendous interest cen ters about the Oregon State champion ship battle and the Aggie-Idaho game scheduled for Portland a week from Saturday. But the Oregon Aggies' won derful showing against Washington at Albany has set the tongues a-wagging over the Northwest title prospects as never before. - Naturally everybody is pulling for Oregon or Washington State to humble Washington that's always the way with the under dog and we have been asked 999,567,467 times if they tiave a chance to turn the trick. " Washington Shakeup Likely. Certainly they have, but with Wash ington on parade in its own bailiwick it will take Herculean efforts. The Dobieites put up an inferior brand of football against Dr. Stewarts huskies, so you can look for a serious shakeup in the purple and gold ere they meet Oregon November 14. If Hugo Bezdek can accomplish the near-impossible and develop a couple of sterling wing men to stop "Bullet' Miller, Oregon's chances will be fair. Otherwise we fear Oregon's powerful machine will find tough sledding. None but those on the Inside know what a job Bezdek had to tackle this FalL It he succeeds in downing Washington he will be entitled to a seat alongside George Stallings as a miracle man of sportdom. Bender Has' Advantage. Offhand it might appear as though the Washington Staters stand more chance of humbling Dobie than Oregon, This paradox is explained by the fact that Bender is fortunate in having the best end in the conference. Tommy Tyler, stationed on the left extremity to pull down Miller. Minus Miller the Washington team would be as the Democratic party with out Wilson. Miller, in fact, is the team, Dobie's offense is centered around the 200-pound Vancouver athlete. One reason why the Dobieites found themselves powerless after the first quarter against the Oregon Aggies was because Stnlth worked Miller to ex haustion trying to score in he initial period. Miller Is Worn Oat. One touchdown would have been worth it, but when the Aggies held for down inside the five-yard lines on two occasions it took the life and strength out of Miller. Then, there was nobody of supreme Importance to fear. - Miller's alibi for not battering the ball across the Aggie line for a touch down is unique. With about three yards to go on'the rourtn down, it looked from the sidelines as though Smith pulled a bonehead ' in calling for a straight buck instead of Miller around the Aggies' weak end. "Smith did call for an end run," ex plained Miller to his father after the game. "But I saw a chalk line only a foot or two beyond the ball and made him change it to a straight plunge. I knew I could make that distance easily. Well. I did, but when everybody had piled off I discovered to my amazement that the chalk mark was an old one from last year's Oregon-Oregon Aggies' game. We were still shy of the right line." . leaves soon to take up the profession- I al's Job at Coronado. He won the ' Northwest open championship at the 1914 tourney and will be sadly missed, except by Bob Johnstone and other runners-up. ' Bill James, ex-Portland Beaver, was the wild man of the American League last year. In approximately 18 full games James passed 73. beaned three and uncorked nine wild pitches. His average was four passes per game. Despite their rainy reception In Fort land, the Bancroft touring big leaguers are making big money, according to statements by the stars yesterday. They made the expenses of their en tire trip, practically, in the first game at Minneapolis October 19 and since then the players have made about $50 apiece on nearly every appearance. Bancroft's share is a certain percent age, so presumably the Bancroft chil dren will have new shoes and Christ mas presents this Winter, in spite of the hard times. J. Gottstein. a former Brown Unlver- lty football star, now located as a practicing attorney in Seattle, took in the football game at Albany Saturday ni entertained Quite a gathering.. Not being able to place a bet-without giv ing the Aggies at least 11 rjolnts. Mr. Gottstein finally, landed in an argu- ii,Lii auviui luies aou lost uiuaers iur almost the entire hotel lobby. American football will be represent ed on the Panama-Pacific Exposition programme and it is probable that teams from all parts of .the United States will be asked to compete after the close of their Fall campaign. T. Morris Dunne, of Portland, has been asked to help name the Pacific North west elevens and the matter will be presented to the conference directors at their Christmas meeting. The Mult nomah Club will be eligible to compete n the tryouts under present plans, for the teams are not to be limited to the intercollegiate field. fiVCHEDIES MAYJ30 TO SMI FRANCISCO Bid Made for Seals and if It Is Accepted Beavers Are to Be Disposed Of. WALTER SYS DEAL IS ON Howard's Two-Year Record in Class by Itself. Rodgers One of Five Besides Seal Who Have Batted .300 or More for Two Seasons. D . ".imam i - !s- " ? . EL HOWARD, of San Francisco, was the only. Coast Leguer In 1914 to add his name to the honor roll of those who have batted in the .300 class in 60 or more games for two years or more.

Maggert, of Los Angeles, batted .314 In 1911 with Oakland and .316 in 1913 with Los Angeles, but this year fell to .289. van Buren batted .361 with Portland in 1903 and .314 with Sacra mento in 1912, but this year was rated at only .242. There are only five names on the roil or tnose who have batted .300 or better In 60 or more games for three years. Heitmuller batted .306 with Seattle-Oakland in 1906. .343 in 1911 with Los Angeles, and .335 in 1912 with Los Angeles. Dillon, of Los Angeles, batted .360 in 1903, .329 in 1906. and 304 in 1907.

Egan oatted .320 in 1903 with Sacramento. 311 in 1904 with Tacoma and .335 In 1907 with Oakland, Captain of Philadelphia Athletics Surprised That Connie Mack Has Asked . Waivers on Bender, Plank and Coombs. Portland may lose its greatest base ball asset. Walter Henry McCredie, manager cf the champion Portland Coasters. Mack and his backer, W. W. McCredie, president of the Beavers, are out strong after the San Francisco franchise and if their bid for the Seals Is accepted, the McCredies will dispose of the Portland club to local capital. This much leaked out yesterday In San Francisco and Walter .McCredie admitted its authenticity. ,"The San Francisco team is to be sold." said Manager McCredie. "Ew- Ing is sincere all right in his desire to quit baseball; and It Is true that we have filed a bid for the Seals. Whether or not our offer will be accepted re mains to be seen. "If it is we will sell the Portland franchise and sever baseball connec tions here. We like Portland, but San Francisco, we believe, offers greater possibilities." According to a dispatch from San Francisco, no fewer than five bids have been made for the Seals. Besides Mc Credie, Harry Wolverton is in the scramble and so are James Coffroth and Sam Berger, of 'fistic fame. Ewlng holds his franchise at some thing more than $200,000. it is said. although exaggerated estimates double that have been published. Walt Mc Credie did not divulge the amount of his bid nor would he estimate the value of the Portland club. OAXADIAX LEAGUE DISBANDS Leseure, ot Ottawa, Likely Now to Accept Portland. Offer. Sounding the Sport Reveille According to a dispatch from Ottawa, Ont., the Maritime Hockey League, in which Ottawa and several other Eastern Canadian cities are represent ed, has disbanded, throwing several hockey stars out of the game. This makes it more than nrobable that Captain Percy LeSeure. of the wrecked Ottawans. will be Been in a Portland uniform at the local ice hippodrome this Winter, according to an official of the rink last night. The Hippodrome has been dickering for Leseure through E. H. Savage, a director and Ca'nadian representative of the rink, and has offered the Ottawa captain $1200 for his services When the offer was made a week or more ago. LeSeure demanded $2000 for his season's play. Owing to the shortness of the Coast season. Savage refused to meet the Canadian s demands. It 1 now believed that LeSeure will be glad to accept the 81200 rather than take a chance on signing up with some other cluo. Savage may sign other members of Maritime clubs. Some of the'. stars on the Ottawa team are Billy Hague, Ras Murphy and Alex Currie, besides Tom my Smith, of Quebec. Reports from Canada indicate that the war Is mak ing great Inroads upon professional hockey. . IDAHO SOPHOMORES VICTORS Freshmen Are Defeated in Contests That Take Place of Fight. UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow, Nov. 1. (Special.) The sophomores bested the freshmen in the class super iority contest that was staged here yesterday afternoon, instead of the annual March 17 fight that has been frowned on by the faculty. -The con tests consisted of feather, light, middle and heavyweight wrestling bouts, tug of-war and "human steal sticks fight.' In the wrestling bouts freshmen were victorious in three and drew in one, Cummins, of Pocatello. threw Dingle in two straight falls; Williams, of Coeur d'Alene, threw Hudleson, of Gooding. In two straight falls, and Lommaaon, of Colfax, won the decision over .King, of Boise. Harpke, of Nes Perce, and Groniger, the big football star, wrestled to a draw. Physical Director Van, fler Veer ref- ereed all bouts. The tug of war was won by the sophomores easily. "Although I knew that a shake-up was due, I was Just as surprised as you were, when I read In the paper this morning about the asking for waivers on Plank, Bender and Coombs," Bald Ira Thomas, captain of the Philadelphia Americans, at the Multnomah Hotel last night. Thomas was here wltn tne lour ing big leaguers. "Coombs has been of no use to the club for the past two seasons owing to sickness, and I am not as surprised over him as I am over tne otner two, . he .continued. "One thing is certain. there will be several other upsets be fore the 1915 season is started now that things have been opened by Connie." Chief Bender, it appears, nas oeen having his own way in the American League so long that it had become sec ond nature for him to do as he pleased. It is customary for Connie Mack to call meetings dt his players to discuss important affairs and methods of at tacks on their opponents, and it is saia that the big Indian has not reported at one of these gatherings during the last campaign. . So lightly did he take the Boston Na tional League champions that he re-. fused to go to see them play in order to get notes and pointers as to the best wav to down them. It is said that this attitude did not disappear until about the third inning of the first fray of the world's series, when he started to get his. - He kept Connie Mack on edge by not reporting until 15 minutes before time was called to start the opening contest. "I am rather put out at the way our schedule for this tour was arranged, announced Frank Bancroft, manager of the big leaguers' tour, "and to think that we couldn't get at least one good day out of the greatest baseball town of this Coast. "We are slated to appear in San Francisco for 10 games,, whereas five or six would be plenty and the remain ing days should have been spent here in Portland. I was here five years ago and it rained at that time, but I like Portland Just the same. "I hope to come out this way next season and in case I do I will make it a point to schedule four or live days. NO TIME LOST NEW SERVICE THROUGH SLEEPER Portland to Vancouver, B. C.
