"After the way Philadelphia rail roaded Murphy out of the American League, I know that the magnates can - Blip over anything they want. Murphy was tremendously popular, but Mack . took advantage of his injury to kick him out. because he was drawing more money than some of the youngsters. "Incidentally, the true facts of why Mack did not send Murphy out to pinch hit for Plank in that famous world's series game against New York one year ago has never been given out. Mack has been busy making his alibis ever since. But here's the real dope continued Houck. "Murphy had already started for the home plate to bat. when Mack called him back and told Plank to bat for himself. He had already decided to ditch Murphy to the minors. Mack Fears Murphy Mleht "Win. "He knew public sentiment wouldn't permit it should Murphy go to bat and drive out the winning hit In a world's series game. So he called Murphy back and let Plank go In and lose the frame. "Mack's argument that Plank had been hitting Matty hard earlier in the game doesn't carry much weight, be cause when a pitcher gets one hit in a game he figures he has done his share and seldom draws another." TT nn nlr vhn la former TTniversitv of Oregon boy, and lives in Portland . during the Winter months, furnished tome Interesting gossip on the Ath . letics and their pennant winning sys- tern. Every Ball Tipped Oil. "The Athletics are great batters be cause nearly every ball that Is served to the plate Is tipped oft to them by the coachers," explained Houck. "Harry Davis, Bender and those old stagers make a study of opposing pitchers. They can tell by some little twitch of the fingers or thumb Just when the opposing pitcher intends de livering a curve. Just when a fast ball is coming, a slow ball, a spltter, and bo on. "It is tipped off to the batter by ome common remark as 'Bust this one,' for a curve, or "That's the boy,' for a fast one. "We knew every ball Tesreau was serving up to us in the world's series," added Houck. Matty Has Stuff Covered. "Mathewson kept his stuff covered fairly well, but Mirquard was a cinch and we didn't need to know Demaree's stuff to beat him. Of course, some twlrlers have so much natural stuff that they f.ol the batters even when they know what Is corning up, and I guess that's how Boston licked the Athletics this Fall." Houck signed a three-year contract rlth the Brooklyn Feds when he Jumped to the outlaws late last Bummer, so is not worrying much about the near future. marketing baseball "from producer to consumer, without the intervention of middlemen," was a dismal failure.

JEJSJiIAGS TO BE PTTVISHED The first practice of the new Western i.iaiuii5ruuiH;.ishiiigoi v aivcrs on i wiu be held today in the clubrooms, S5th Anniversary of the Baseball War of Secession. rT,0 the old-timers of the diamond A this is a memorable anniversary, for it was Just a quarter of a century ago today, on November , 1889, that the baseball "war of secession" was de clared. Then as now there were two major- leagues in the field rthe Na tional, organized in 1876, and the old American Association, which dated from 1882. In 1884 the outlaw Union Association had tried to establish a third major circuit, but It failed mis erably and croaked after a single dis astrous season. A little later the big league players organized a "Brotherhood," which soon became a baseball power. In 1887 the Brotherhood was strong enough to force the magnates to grant a new form of contract. There continued to be many disagreements between the plutocrats and the players, however, and during the season of 1889 the dis affection reached the point of revolu tion. It was then that the players hatched the Idea of starting a new league, to be operated by the Brotherhood, John M. "Ward, tho famous Giant shortstop. now a prominent lawyer and one of the principal backers of tho Federal League, was the chief of the baseball rebels. At a previous crisis Ward had favored a strike of tha players, but he was outvoted by the other members. Athletic Stars Is Cause. CHICAGO, Nov. 3. Hugh Jennings. manager of the Detroit Americans, is to be disciplined . at the American League meeting here beginning Thurs day, according to announcement today by B. B. Johnson, the league president. Jennings violated one of the prime rules of the league, Johnson asserts. when he made public recently the fact that Connie Mack, manager of the Phil aaeipnia ciuo, nas asked waivers on Plank, Bender and Coombs. Johnson said today Jennings might be nned. and that the league might de cide to withhold such Information from the Detroit manager in the future, transacting its business with Frank Navin, owner of the club.

C. in the conference meet to be held here next Saturday aft ernoon, and romped home in first place, defeating Hobgood,- the two-miler, whom fans had doped to win with ease. The team selected will consist pf Lafke, Hobgood and Kadderly. Lafke covered the four and a half mile course in 24:56:1, which is con sidered good time, inasmuch as the course is heavy as a result of recent rains. Hobgood, who finished second, made the run in 26:26:2, and Kadderly covered tne distance in 26:26:4. ISH 'WILL SELL SEALS EMIJVG TURNS OVER. ALL STOCK I CLUB TO PARTNER.

In 1902 Forbes held on to the championship by defeat ing Tommy Feltz, Kid Goodman, Mike Memsic and Frankie Neil, and fought a draw with Abe Attell. In 1903 he fought Neil again in San Francisco, and was knocked out by the Native Son. Neil then went to London and was de feated In 20 rounds by Joe Bowker. an Englishman, in a bout for the world's title.

Owners In No Hurry to Dispose of Franchise, Is Announcement and Right Price Must Be Offered. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3. Frank M. Ish Is now handling the sale of the San Francisco club and s looking after the other Interests of the club. J. Cal. Ewing, his partner, has turned over all his Btock and will let Ish dis pose of It or hold it as he sees fit. Ewing says that he is through with baseball and is contemplating taking a vacation and will enjoy himself by traveling. Ish explains that he is president of the San Francisco baseball club, which Is a corporation, and he Is relieving Ewing of the burden of looking after the club's affairs. Ish at the same time announces that the club Is still for sale and will undoubtedly be disposed of shortly. "There are several bona fide offers for the Seals and. I will give them careful consideration," Ish says. "If we get . the price that we think the franchise is worth we will sell. I can say positively that Tom Stephens is In the field as a purchaser and I know that, he means business. So far I have not talked business with either Cof froth or Berger. J. Cal Ewlng's re tirement is simply to give him a much. needed rest. He has worked hard and faithfully for baseball and he has been tied down a great deal. Now he wilt be free to enjoy himself. "While all this talk of our selling our ball club Is going on. I will say right here that we will not be in any hurry to -dispose of the franchise. As I said before, the club is for sale, and If the right parties agree to our price and terms there will be new owners to run the club." for roughing a rival punter or forward passer, consequently while there was no intentional roughing enther on the part of Anderson or of Hunt, both had to go when they slammed into the kickers. Last year the Middle West won five intersectional football battles. Michi gan defeated Syracuse, Notre Dame walloped West Point and Penn State. This year Syracuse and Harvard have defeated Michigan, and Yale has wal loped Notre Dame to a frazzle. And the chances are that the end is not yet. Cornell and Penn are being groomed to beat Michigan and It wouldn't surprise anybody to see the Army smother Notre Dame. Michigan's eleven weighed 176 pounds and Harvard's 176 pounds last Saturday, so the Northwest Conference teams average about the same as the crack Easterners. Chances are, how ever, that these Eastern weights are covered" to the extent of three or four pounds. Michigan's backfleld weights are given as 145, 168, 155 and 160 and Harvard's 150. 161, 186 and 176. SEATTLE BFLIi IS VICTORIOUS Xational League Stars Win San Francisco Game by 4 to 2. SAN FRANCISCO.

HERE is a rumor floating about that Idaho has filed a protest against Bernard, crack quarterback on the Washington State College eleven. Bernard played in Missouri last year, but was with a normal school, so it is not plain what basis Coach Griffith has for his plaint. Idaho and Wash ington State meet next Saturday at Pullman and it would be a hard blow to Bender to have Bernard disqualified. . A majority of the Eastern colleges number their football players and the Northwest colleges ought to wake up and do something at their annual meeting this Winter. Numbering the players would cost about $10 a season and would boost the gridiron sport about $10,000. Nowadays It Is lm possible for any spectator to recog nize a player on the field without some numbering system, Ed. R. Hughes, of the Seattle Times, jocosely remarks that Hap Miller hardly could feel complimented by be ing compared to "Bir Bertha," the German gun which demolishes forts about nine miles away. "It takes an army corps and two auto trucks to move "Big Bertha," and surely Miller is faster than that." says spicy Edward and yet we could have made It Harry Meek. Hughes, by the way, expresses tur prise at the disqualification of Mike Hunt, Washington end, for roughing Luts of the Aggies. Hunt also was surprised at the time, but early In the game the officials adopted a strict policy by disqualifying Anderson of the Aggies and Hunt had to go too, when he bumped Luts. The rules provide for disqualification He Is also pastor of the First African Methodist Zlon Church In Portland. The Oregon-Washington conference will meet in Portland In August, 1915. The aim of the recent conference was to extend the missionary work.

The congregation is planning later to buy. a lot in another locality and build. LEAGUE TO MANAGE-MART Effort to Be Made to Establish Sale Prices at Albina Market.

Too high prices have been charged, it is said. One committee will work up the con sumers end and another the publicity end by Informing consumers of the market and asking them to patronize the market. The Albina public market was opened March 29 and has been looked after by business men. who had giventime and hard work to its upDuUding. These men say they are glad to turn Its man agement over practically to the women. the buyers and consumers of the com munity, but will continue to help it in every way they can. AUTOS MAKE WOMEN UGLY So Says Mrs. Blair, in Advising Ex ercise and Plain Food. "Don't be afraid to walk." "I like automobiles, but automobiles are making women fat and ugly." Exercise and plain food will make you healthy and beautiful." These are some of the statements made yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Margaret J. Blair in her lecture In the auditorium of the Lincoln High School, where she is giving a series of ad dresses under the auspices of the Meier & Frank Company. "Mothers, I beseech you to play golf and tennis, ride horseback, walk, exercise diligently, walk, keep young and be a chum to your daughters," said the speaker. "Dance every morning round you room. If you think it is wrong to dance, call it exercising, but by all means keep it up. Learn to be grace ful in every movement. There is no need for double chins." Mrs. Blair gave the assembled teach era, students and nousewives many valuable hints about how to be beautl ful and healthy. She will give he closing lecture this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the same hall. Mrs. Blair will talk to the girls of the Trades School tomorrow morning. REV. W. W.
