ALEXANDER NOT ENOUGH Superiority of American League Out fielders Declared to Bo Factor Which Will Decide World ' Series; Speaker Important. Billy Speas. captain of the Portland Coast League ball club, is first to bat with a world series prediction. Early in the year Speas picked San Francisco to win the Pacific Coast pennant and now he chooses the Boston Red Sox to win from the Philadelphia Nationals, even though his last year's teammate. Dive Bancroft, is starring at short for the Phillies. '.'Boston's outfield Speaker, Hooper and Lewis will win the champion ship," vouchsafed Speas yesterday dur ing a discussion of the impending world's titular event. "Any big league ball player will tell you that the Bos ton outfielders far excel the Philly gardening trio. I think Boston will win even if Alexander pitches three games in the series. Phil's Bat Strena-th RJght-Handers. "Of course, the three regular Philly outfielders Cravath, Whitted and Pas kert are right-hand hitters and that will help them, as Boston won its pennant largely through the box work of Southpaws Leonard and Ruth and Gregg. However, Carrigan has some good right-handers in Foster, Wood and Shore, and even Carl Mays of the Port land club. When a right-hander works I presume Beals Becker will be used by Philadelphia somewhere in the out field. "Philadelphia's outfielders owe their success to their hitting. Cravath is the leading cleanup in the big leagues. In fielding, of course, Boston has It all over them. The Boston horticulturists have played side by side for six years. They know every player who has been in the big leagues and it Is a cinch they know the pecwliarittes of every player on the Philly roster. For in stance, Becker has a faculty of hitting down che right field line. Speaker's tremendous speed enables him to play closer in behind second than most cen terfielders. Tft Sore to Be Stased. "One of the big features of the world's series is going to be the test between Speaker, the second best hitter in the American League, and Alexander, the greatest pitcher In the National League. Alexander ia not a slow-ball pitcher, being more on the order of Walter Johnson. Yet I see from the bat figures that Speaker has averaged .294 against Johnson this year. I think he will do even better than that against Alexander, because the Red Sox have had experience in a world's series, whereas, the Phillies have not. This experience of three years ago, when they beat New Tork for the world's championship, will cut considerable fig ure. "It will be recalled, too. that Hooper was the star of that world's series.

(Vh.ile ye editor was out some wks. ago, a party signing him self "Lloyd" left a note on our typewriter saying that he had called to buy us a drink, but we were out. For three wks. we conducted a careful investiga tion to ascertain the identity and whereabouts of the mys terious person. ) Hundreds of letters were re ceived from our constant read ers, suggesting everybody from LJoyd -bates to Lioya ueorge, but to no avail. As we were about to abandon the apparently hopeless quest, the mystery solved Itself, the miscreant gave himself up to the authorities and made a full con fession. "I only do this, he said, when Interviewed by our representa tive, "because I realise that if the search were continued until after January 1. without success, it would then be useless ever to discover me." With harsh hands we haled him before the bar (of Justice) and tore off his disguise while he was searching In bis pocket for a thin dime.

Kingsley get ready to hold a land products show here.

CALL AROUSES ANXIETY Many Portland Persons Appre hensive Until Steamer Har vard Answers. CALL 'FAKE SOME BELIEVE Santa Barbara, En Route to Port land, Has No 'Wireless; Lumber Steamer Wapama South of San' Francisco at Time. The mysterious "S. O. S." call which late Saturday night spread consterna tion along the Pacific Coast when of fers of aid received no response created much apprehension among Portland residents and steamship agents yester day. The inability of land operators to get in touch with the steamer Harvard of the Pacific Navigation Company's line until after 3 o'clock yesterday morning Increased the consternation. There were many Portland residents and their friends on the fleet steamer and Frank Bollam, agent for the line in Portland, began answering telephone calls as early as 3 o'clock yesterday morning, when The Oregonian was on the street, and the news of the strange "S. O. S." call was learned. Throughout the day calls to him and to The Oregonian kept the telephone wires busy. As early as 3:30 o'clock In the morning the safety of the Har vard had been assured, however. Harvard Report Aniaxes. , "The Harvard is one of the fleetest vessels on the Coast." said Mr. Bollam yesterday, "and she has traveled a set course for four years without an acci dent. Naturally everyone was stirred when' she was reported out of wireless range, although she Is fitted with air tight bulkheads. "The message that the Harvard was safe nd unimpaired relieved many peo ple. The Harvard carried BOO passen gers." The Question of what vessel is was which sent out the "S. O. S." call which was picked up by Coast wireless sta tions is one which bothers shipping men to furnish a satisfactory answer. Some were of the opinion that the call was a "fake" or a prank. Santa Barbara Haa No W'lrelenn. The coasting steamer Santa Barbara, which left San Francisco at 11 A. M. Saturday en route to this port, was compelled to put back to San Fran cisco yesterday because of having broken the bed plate of her engine. When news of that vessel's difficulty first reached here It was thought that she must have been the source of the "S. O. S." calL It Is said, however, that she carries no wireless apparatus. It is believed that the call could not have come from any of the regular passenger steamers plying between here and California ports since opera tors were of the opinion that it was sent from a point about 100 miles south of San Francisco. The McCormtck steamer Wapama. lumber laden, en route from Portland to, San Pedro, was about lOO.ftilles south of San Francisco at the time the call was picked up. At 8 o'clock she reported by wireless 60 miles south of San Francisco. The "S. O. S." call was received at 10:35. S. O. S. CALL THOrGllt HOAX. Harvard in .Port After Uneventful Voyage and. Inquiry Is Ordered. r SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Sept. 26. (Special. Federal authorities are to make a rigid investigation as to where the & O. S. calls came from Saturday night, which were heard in every radio station from San Diego to Puget Sound. It is the opinion among shipping and wireless men in San Francisco that the scare thrown into the entire Pacific Coast was the work of some amateur with a high-powered system. Lafesavers all along the coast were sleepless from the time the call came in. shortly before midnight Saturday, until early this morning. Over at Sausalito Captain Harry Hamlet, of the Coast Guard cutter Unalga, had steam up and was ready to dash to sea at a moment's notice from the time the call came in until noon yesterday. The steamer Harvard arrived at San Pedro today, after an uneventful voy age from San Francisco. The wireless operator said he did not receive any "S. O.

But it is now, when the sys tem is trying to rebuild its store of energy, that you will be most grateful for the reconstructive help of Sanatogen. Sanatogen, you must know, is a natural food-tonic, combining purest albumen with organic phosphorus thus conveying to the wasted system the vital elements to build up blood and tissues, and it ia so remarkably easy of digestion that the most delicate young and old can take it with nothing but beneficial effects. It reawakens the appetite, assists digestion, and as a physician in "The Practitioner,' a leading medical journal, says. It seems to possess a wonderful effect in increasing the nutri tive value of other food material.

J. Moore & Co. The Georgiana Is given credit by mariners for a new sailing record be tween Adelaide and the Columbia River. E. W. Wright, local manager of the Merchants' Exchange, is au thority for the statement, however, that the British bark Wanlock made the same tri. in 1889 in 48 days. On that trip the Wanlock Is said to have had unusually favorable weather con ditions, and in five consecutive days made a run of 1600 miles.

JAPANESE LIXE SWAMPED Manager Explains That Congestion Caused Space Monopoly Charge. SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 28. General Manager Kafuku. ot the Osaka Shosen Kalsha. replying to a cablegram con cerning alleged monopolization of space by favored shippers, writes from Osaka saying that the eiKhf steamers ot the line are scarcely able to care for the traffic offered, to say nothing of the congestion that will follow withdrawal of the Pacific Mail boats.
