WiRKST HIL-IS. N. V.. 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. Pell, of Xew York, was
the only Atlantic Coast player to score
a. victory. He defeated Thomas C.
Bundy. of Los Angeles, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2,
3-6. 6-4.
Maurice K. MoLoughlin. of San
J'ranciKco, evened the yoore by winnir.s
from Karl H. Behr, of New York, G-4,
3-6. 6-2. and William M. Johns
ton and Clarence Griffin put the far
western contingent into the lead by
riff eatinij It. Norris Williams 11. of
l liiladclphia, and W atson M. W ash
bmu. of New York, in the doubles
match U-4, 6-2, 6-4.
Ht Clinches TIOMOrn.
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.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. 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.

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.

Wvmore, two boys less than 10 years

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.
