Portland Bill James,, of All

Drops Game 2 to 3.
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.

Head of National Commission Goes Back
to Cincinnati After Conferences
With Official of Outlaws.
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.

a decided loss to Oregon and the Pat

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

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

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.

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

That is a hard question to answer,
replied "Big Six," who formerly was

that football makes a boy more reliant

game for the boy with the least taint
of the quitter in him. It also induces

That both McPherson and Gellatlv.

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.

This much leaked out yesterday In

or not our offer will be accepted re

"If it is we will sell the Portland

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

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

"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.

AMATEUR ATHLETICS
Mrs. Dolan Says They Are Showered
With Flowers and Candy and
Taken on Automobile Trips.
All we have to do Is to look pleasant
as townspeople shower us with flowers,
huge boxes of' candy and whisk us
away on automobile rides. Everywhere
we go they try to make us comforta
ble and happy. They fill our ears full
of nice things about their home, too.
and give us permission to spread its
praises abroad without censorship.
Surrounded by other wives of noted
ball players In the central lobby of the
Multnomah Hotel yesterday, Mrs. C.
Dolan. better half of the Philadelphia
right fielder and lead-off hitter on the
all-star team of National League ball
players, made the foregoing assertion
In describing the lot. of a star athlete's
wife on a long tour.
Mrs. Dolan lives at Oshkosh. Wis., a
city of about 35,000 population. She
said that -she liked Portland. The
others made similar remarks. The
lights in Portland on Saturday night
and the glitter of city life that supple
mented them reminded them quite for
cibly of Broadway, New York. They
told how highly they regard Western
people and admire them for their spirit
of hospitality and loyalty.
Mrs. Dolan's husband is the lead-off
comedian of the bunch as well as the
lead-off hitter for his team. Whenever
a band greets them upon their arrival
he immediately becomes bandmaster
out of habit and escorts the procession
down the village or city street. So nat
urally is he the leader that he couldn't
resist the temptation to officiate at the
head of the orchestra at the Hotel
Multnomah, and they say that he made
a home run right off the bat.
Mrs. Dolan didn't talk much about
her own prowess as an entertainer, but
her companions tattled that she was
the life of the party and a fitting run
ning mate for her friend husband.
"There is one thing the women of
Oregon have that never comes within
our provinces they can vote," com
mented Mrs. A. Fletcher, wire of the
New York Giant star, who played short
stop for the Nationals yesterday. "Our
husbands travel about so much that
they seldom get a chance to vote,
either, so we don't understand this
election business that Oregon women
are talking so much about."
About the only issue they had been
advised on was the dry and wet scrap.

Mrs. Regan deplored the possibility
of Oregon's liquor industry being cur
tailed, wnicn, she said, would throw
many men out of work. She said that
she was not the wife of a-saloon man
or interested in the business, but
wished to see justice done. She added
she sympathized with the working
girls, but dodged a question put by a
man, who asked if working girls wore
diamonds In their ears like she did.
She was preceded and followed by male
speaners.
Another basketball game played In
