Sept. 10. California players further increased tlieir lead in the west vs. east matches vhirh begran in Pan Francisco in July ami will tinish here tomorrow. Theodore K.

By the addition of today's two vic tories the far-coast experts ran their tolal wins to seven against the east erners two, and even though represen tatives of this section should win all tlirce of Saturday's matches the count Mould till stand 7 to 5 in favor of the West. Tell and Bundy were the first or the turf and the match resolved itself into a contest of endurance. The rallies were long: drawn out and without spe cial features. Bundy endeavored to Tlay to Pell's forehand, but the latter was not inconvenienced by this attack, tfno to the slowness with which the l-.os Angeles doubles star delivered the strokes. The stroke analysis of the match shows that a major portion of the points were won and lost on errors if judgment and netted and outed balls. While the same element entered laruely in the victory of McLoughlin over Behr, the tennis, nevertheless, was of higher order. Both had streaks u which they took turns in placing the ball with a cleverness and speed that put it beyond the reach of pos sible return. Behr fiothered ly Service. McT,oughlin's service bothered Behr considerably, with the result that he pcored a number of clean aces during the four Hets. Both were guilty, how ever, of numerous nets and outs, Mc laughlin, in particular, showing the ame inability to drive and smasn safely that he did during the play for tlte National singles title. ' In the doubles the pewly-crowned National title holders, Johnston and Ciirffin. were not forced to uncover any sensational game in defeating Williams and Washburn, the Eastern champions. Johnston and Williams bore the brunt of the play and a keen rivalry was evident in their efforts to score points at each other's expense. Washburn and Griffin injected them selves into the play at crucial mo ments, however, and honors in this respect were about equally divided. The better teamwork and generalship of the "Westevn pair was the outstanding feature and the basis of their victory.

Although no championship is at stake and neither of the contestants holds a title, the ten-round bout between Packey Mc Farland. of Chicago, and Mike Gib bons, of St. Paul, is more talked of than any pugilistic event that has taken place here since the closing: days of the Korton law 15 years asjo. The men will meet at the Brighton Reach Motordrome tomorrow night and are to welsh in at 147 pounds tomor row at 3 o'clock. The fact that the promoters of the bout have deposited $32,500 in the hands of the stakeholders has dis pelled any doubt that may have ex isted as to the genuineness or the battle. - Gibbons Slight Favorite. Gibbons is a slight favorite for the main reason that he has been fighting risrht along, while McFarland has not taken part in a ring battle for quite a length of time. His lona: absence from the ring has caused many to believe that the Chi cago man needs a bout or two in order to hrins him up to a fight with a man of Gibbons caliber. Training1 of Both In EarneMt. Both men have trained carefully and earnestly. Each apparently believes that ho will win. One thing is cer tain, and that is both will be down to the stipulated weight by tomorrow afternoon. In physical measurement, Gibbons has some advantage over his opponent. He is 5 feet ! inches in height, to Mc Farland's 5 feet 7 inches, and in arm reach he has three inches the better of it. his reach being 72 inches to 69 for McFarland. Tn chest measurement Mc Farland is superior, his normal meas urement being 39 inches to 36 inches for Gibbons. McFarland also shows greater girth, the tape indicating 33 inches for McFarland about the waist to 29 j for Oihbona. OREGON GAMP DISBANDS BK.I1KK JKURXS BRYANT, W LOSS OP r.m.iiK. With Hard rre-Sciwon Trnlninir Over, Squad AVill Leave Florence fur Home Today. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Sept. 10. (Special.) AVith seven days of hard training scratched from the schedule of pre-season work. Coach Bezdek and his 17 hardened candidates for lemon-yellow honors are taking life easy in Florence tonight, preparing to break camp and start for Eugene to morrow. Athletic TMrector Kayward, Captain Anson Cornell and "Has-Been Tick' Malarkey formed an advance guard out of the wood? and arrived, in the uni versity city tonight. "We had a dandy training trip," an nounced Bill. I Ray Bryant, varsity fullback for the past two seasons, has decided that he is through with college for at least a year. Bryant breezed Into Florence last night, visited for two hours, and then left for the mouth of the Siuslaw River, where he has accepted a position with the Government. "1 hate to see Bryant leave tis," mourned Coach Bezdek. as his old full back boarded the boat. As Coach Bezdek now sums up the football situation it appears that a new backfield will wear Oregon colors during the season to come. Captain Cornell undoubtedly will be seen in his old position at quarter. The little leader's knee is better than new, he avows. To replace the old heads, the Oregon mentor will call upon Hollis and Shy Huntington. Bob Malarkey. Lyle Big bee, Morfitt, Hoskins and other aspir ants to a backfield berth, who as yet have not reported. County Pays for Injuries. MARSHFIIXrX Or., Sept. 10. (Spe cial.) The County Court today settled with the father of Paul and Luther Wvmore, two boys less than 10 years old. who recently found dynamite caps : r ' ' ' along1 a county highway, where they had been left by a road supervisor, and sustained injuries by detonating them. The county paid about $1400. Sidelights and Satire. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. I HARI..ES BADEMACHER, new football coach at the University of Idaho, is on the iob. and he has a hard tasH ahead of him trying to keep up to Pink Griffiths' pace. Rademacher played lour years on cue University of Chicago team, graduating in Sine then he has been head of the. physical department at the New Maxico Military Academy at Roswell. His assistant will be J. E. Beghold. graduate of the Springfield Training School. Three of the six Pacific Northwest con ference colleges will sprout forth with ne" football directors this Kali. Johnny Bender was '"fired" at Washington Ktate, and the famous Carlisle Indian, Dietz, installed in hia place. Archie Halin was politely man icured from his Job at whitman, ana m cent Borleske, of the Lincoln High of Port land, was eluvatea to tne uis league. tur- leske starred for the old Whitman teams that used to make the rest of the confer ence wiggle a few years ago. Rademacher at Idaho completes the trio ot cnanges. All of them are to be sympathized with to some extent, for they are expected to hoid their own against teams chosen from twice and three times the number of students. Borleske has coached high school teams, both In Seattle and in Portland, so Has an etigs over the other two, for he has lured sev eral of his interscholastic proteges to Wall Walla with him. The three holdover coaches are Hugo Bezdek, at Oregon; Dr. K. J. ate wart, at the, Oregon Agricultural College, and CJilmour Uobie, at Washington. These three are rec ognized as first-class men all over the country. JDobie has never hist a game, and Dr. Stewart has lost only one since he joined forces with the Aggies in 11)13. Hugo Bezdek's only defeats have been close ones by Washington against overwhelming odds. This year both Stewart and Bezdek stood to turn the tables on Washington, but Doht weiched out of hi3 games with thorn, in one instance even going so far as to abrogate a signed contract. Billy Neal, the scout who Inveigled Dave Bancroft from Portland last year, is in San Francisco searching for more talent for the Philadelphia Nationals. Neal Bays Bancroft is the greatest shortstop In the country today, and is immensely tickled that lie did not tako Corhan last Fall. Corhan is the man he came West to get. Muggsy McGraw bad the first crack at Bancroft Jn midseason, but refused to pay enough for him, and it's a cinch he Is sorry now. Cleveland next put in a bid for him, aud as the McCredies are hooked up in a. Siamese twin arrangement with Cleveland, f Dave would have been on this sorry out fit had he not bucked up his back an J said "nothing doing." Dave didn't -want to get on any hocus pokus ball club, and, in the light of this year's performances, the little sfoux City shortstop was foolish like John L. Hocke feller. Not only is Dave on a winning ball club, but from all appearances lie Is due to share In a big wad of world's series money that ought to total around the JoUUO mark.. Three of tho Philadelphia team are cx Coast Leaguers. Dave Bancroft, of course. played with the Portland Coast League club in 11)12 and 1014 and with the Portland Nort Invest club in 3 113. when Waiter Mc Credie made him do penance for getting fresh over salary matters. Mack got Dave by draft from the Superior, Wis., team upon recommendation of a Cleveland scout.

The question: "What is sauerkraut?" was put up to the classification com mittee by the representative of a big packing-house, who seeks a new classi fication that would reduce the freight rate on sauerkraut.
