At Eari Francisco Salt Lake 4, San Fran cisco 1. At Vernon Vernon 12. Los Angeles 2. BY HOSCOE FAWCETT. One more wiggle and Portland -will b out of the Coast Leasrue cellar. Coveleskle twirled remarkably efficient ball yesterday, and, while his "spit ters" were breaking all over the place, Portland was knocking the tar out of three Oakland twirlers. Result. Port land walloped the Oaks in. the opening Came of the "cellar championship" by the lop-eared score of 9-0. One thousandth of a point is all that is keeping the Beavers in the base ment and the way the Oaks played yes terday that one thousandth doesn't look any more formidable than a Chinese pheasant in front of a steamroller. I.rrrrrm Best With "I)ean Ball." Southpaw Leverenz, who hasn't aligned his name to a local hotel reg ister since away back in the days when he pitched for Los Angeles, was Man ager ISlliott's original slab choice. "I-rf-fly" didn't seem to have returned with much of anything from St. Louis, not even a cane or a -mustache. Beg pardon, he did show a nice "bean ball." Leverenz hit Speas and Fisher, in the first inning, and these wild shots, to gether with a walk, a two bagger by Lober and Bates' single, caused Man ager Elliott to yank Leverenz In favor of Klawitter before one Inning was over. Bfavrin Take Lead at Jump. Three runs in the first frame gave the Beavers a running headstart and with Coveleskie pitching like a demon there wasn't a chance for the Oaks. . Klawitter pitched until the sixth inning, yielding three more runs, and then KUiott trotted out a rookie named Carberry. Carberry was tapped for the final trio of tallies. After Ward's rather "Texy" two bagger in. the sixth, Billy Sonthworth jarred Cranberry 6i was it Carberry? by knocking the ball over the right field fence for a home run, driving Ward in with him. After that the young right hander pitched evenly, although he had a ter rible time trying to hold the Beaver speed merchants on the baas. Stumpf purposely drew a throw to first base and was off so far that he beat the relays to second, and Derrick a mo ment later ran wild. He stole second and then third, while the Oaks were frantically throwing the spheroid around the bases. Stunipf Maken Great Play. In this same inning the seventh Stumpf electrified the railbirds by scor ing from second base on Bartholemy's infield grounder. Bart caught the last three innings. , Roxy Middleton, of the Oaks, featured the fielding with a shoelace catch of a liner by Vard. Roxy tore up about teni feet of divot with his chin, but came up with the ball clutched in his fingers like a free lunch. In the nine innings Coveleskie fanned eight men and walked only one. He whiffed all three in the sixth inning Mow, Hosp and Middleton and made it four straight by fanning Johnson as first man up in the seventh. Stow, Hosp and middy are all new men in the infield since the Oaks last appeared in Portland. The score: Oakland Portland B H O A Kl BHOAE Ptow.2.... :: 1 'J 2 (!l..nlier.m. ..

PAST AID NOT COUNTED Koivdj- Elliott Says He AVill Be at Helm for Commuters at Start of Next Season and Says Team Will Be Factor. Pacific Coast League directors down south are much "peeved" at the lack of attendance at the games In Port land this year. -j. P. Cook "Genial Jack," as the vice-president of the Oak land club is known hereabouts said as much yesterday when he arrived in the city with his ball club. "TVe're going to vote, Portland out and give the franchise to Vallejo or Taft or Scappoose," said the golfing magnate, jokingly. "You've had too many winners here. The novelty is all gone and just because you run into a losing club one year like the rest of us have quite often, your fans quit cold. Teams coming up here are .under a weekly expense of at least $2500 in cluding salaries, carfare, berths, hotels and overhead, and about the best they get tfrom one week here is $1000 to $1500. I don't suppose San Francisco got $700 here last week, when your Sunday ganes were canceled by the rain. Portland Big Aid tn Pout. - "Isn't it true that Portland was a veritable gold mine for the league in 1310 and 1911. when Walt McCredie won his first string of consecutive pen nants?" was asked. "Yes," replied the visiting magnate. 'But these are hard times and every city should support its ball club, win ning or losing." "Are you in facor of admitting Seat tle and Spokane into the league provid ing they can get loose from the North western League?" was asked. "Wouldn't that help bear part of the transporta tion load of the long jumps from San Francisco to Portland and back?" "I don't know," replied Mr. Cook. "I'm in favor of 16 teams if it will strengthen the league. I'm still boost ing for allejo," he added, quite non chalantly. Elliott Expects to Keep Birth. Harold Elliott, whose name used to be "Rowdy" Elliott, and who is now managing Mr. Cook's Oakland ball club. is just as good natured as his boos, and, to prove that he is a "bear" for punishment, Manager Elliott declared with vehemence that he expected to be retained as field general for 1916. "Yes, sir," he said, "I'll be here again next year as manager of the Oaks and we'll have a first-division club, too. You'll note that we have made many- changes since we were here last. If the club had been in third place when I took hold it would have been there now." Elliott was immnsely pleased because the Chicago Cubs failed to exercise their option on Jimmy Johnston. "It's pretty hard to pick up a ball player like Jimmy in the Spring," ex plained Harold. Manager Elliott expects to pitch Prough today against either Higgin botham or Evans. Wynn Noyes. the new Portland pitcher, is here from Spo kane and was out in uniform yester day. He will pitch one game this week.

DUCKS WILL BEMnRCE MAJORITY OK Hl'MERS GOI.VG OUT ' FOR PHEASANTS FRIDAY. Lakes Dried by Long Dry Weather. Many Pari lea to Vault Wild for Larger Game. With the opening of the duck and pheasant season October 1 but two off. local hunters are oiling up their u.uiiueruusses, ior prospects are bright for some of the finest pheasant shoot ing enjoyed in this state for some time. Ducks will be scarce, however, due to the continued dry spell, and. as many duck lakes have been dried up, a majority of duck hunters will have to be content with bagging the toothsome pheasants for the first part of the sea son, at any rate. Several duck clubs near Portland will not suffer from the Summer's low wa ter, however, fas they already have their lakes partially filled. Gas en gines were used in pumping the water Into the lakes and, according to re ports, the ducks are already beginning to make themselves at home. Among the large list of prominent Prtlanders who will slip away for a few days' pheasant hunting are City Auditor Barbur and his chief clerk. Rav Watkins. They are planning a trip of several days, which will start the first day of the season. J. C. Morris and Bert Pilkington, a former Multnomah Club fotball player, will try their luck at pheasant shooting the first day of the season. Jack Meyer, prominent in angling circles, will pass up the duck and pheasants in the hoep of bagging some larger game. He will visit the West Fork district and hopes to bag the limit in deer. J. S. Crane and Al Seguin will open the duck season by trying their luck on the Tony Barber place below Scappoose. This has been a favorite duck hunting reserve for numerous Portland hunters for several seasons. Dr. William Hare and Cliff Stout will go after pheasants on their place at the end of ihe Rose City carline, the open ing day of the season. Joe Stutt has just returned from a deer hunt in Southern Oregon, and everyone in his party brought back the limit, according to reports. So plentiful were the deer and other big game in the Southern Oregon dis trict that H. M. Covey is planning on making another two-week sojourn there. Ray Winter and G. W. Percival, just back from Nehalem. report salmon fish ing good in Nehalem Bay. In two day's trolling the couple snagged 12 big beauties. Walter Backus, Phil Holmes and Andy Reker will leave this morninng for the mouth of the Sandy River in order to bring a report to the Mult nomah Anglers' Club regarding fishing at that place. Because the hunters are becoming rather restless stringent efforts are be ing mado by the game department to have more deputy wardens out for vio lators. Deputy Game Warden K. H. Clark yesterday took C. O. Blakely. of Fairview, Or., in tow charged with shooting pheasants in closed season. He will be arraigned in the District Court in Portland today. He wa-s ar rested about 15 miles east of Port land. Numerous complaints have been made from that territory. DHUJIHEILElt LEADS IN RELAY Good Time and Few Delays Make Races at Salem Inters-tlna.

OREGON TO DECIDE ATHLETIC FUTURE Faculty Opinions on Retention of Intercollegiate Contests Are Varied. ACTION TO BE TAKEN TODAY Or 800 Students In Liberal Art Courses, None Favors Abolition. All Agree, Even Athletes, That Studies Come First. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. Sept. 2S. (Special.) The question of whether or not the Universltv of Ore gon shall abolish intercolleg'late ath letics will come before the faculty to morrow afternoon., receive due consid eration, and will be disposed of ior all time. Since its introduction by J. D. Bar nett, professor of political science In this institution, the measure has been thoroughly overhauled by alumni mem bers, students and friends of the uni versity. The abolition movement was launched some three months, although facts were not made public until late this last Summer. Of the S00 students in the liberal art courses not one has expressed himself as in favor of Dr. Barnett's measure. This is even more characteristic of the women than of the men. StntUUcn Cited an Arcnmeot. Men in athletics intercollegiate at the university have cited various opin ions about the "abolition." They were all willing to admit that if intercol legiate athletics did "affect scholar ship, professionalize athletics and In crease the student body tax." then they were wrong and that tliey (the ath letes) would be the first ones to up bold Dr. Barnett's measure. However, statistics have proved that men engaged in athletics have managed to "pull down" higher grades than those who were not. and that those partici pating were not.doing so because they were paid to play, but because they loved the game, and that money taxed students to witness the various campus contests was a saving rather than an expense. It is more economical to buy a season ticket than to pay at the gate. The season ticket is cheaper in the long run. Athlete Least Favored Student. These were the three principal fea tures of Dr. Barnett's argument, and from a student standpoint they are little. It Is a known fact that at Oregon the athlete has fewer lavors from the faculty than the ordinary student. If the athlete gets "posted" he is forced to "grind" before he again is eligible to compete. This holds true with any college and is a rule strictly enforced. Also, the college professor watcflie8 an athlete and his scholastic standing closer than the ordinary man. "The question of abolishing inter collegiate athletics will be discussed, but not necessarily settled," said John Straub. dean of the college of liberal arts and the oldest man in point of service on the Oregon faculty. "How ever," he added, "the movement will receive thorough consideration. ItrHultant Disaster at O. A. C. Shonn. "Intercollegiate athletics were abol ished at O. A. C. some 16 years ago with disastrous results. Abolition only lasted for one year. The question in volved in this case hinges on whether or not Idaho. Whitman, O. A. C. and Washington would make similar ar rangements." Fred C. Ayer, professor of education, savs: "I do not favor the abolishment of intercollegiate athletics or think that it will be done. There are positive edu cational advantages in athletic con tests." William L. Hayward. director of ath letics, declares: "If athletics interfere with class work, then drop athletics; but as long as the athlete is getting good grades and Is not being hurt physically, then intercollegia.U athletics are a wonderful recreation." Various other opinions were ex pressed, but many of the faculty pre ferred not to give their views. CI.I'B READY TO ENTERTAIN Multnomah Members Rid Friends to Season's First Smoker. Men members of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club are rustling around among their friends, for tomor morrow night the opening smoker of the 1915 season will be held in the club gymnasium. A. H. "Bert" Allen, chair man of the entertainment committee, has arranged for something novel and entertaining for the surprise of those present. Last season the smokers became great successes and were much looked forward to each month. It is the de sire of Chairman Allen to hold these get-together gatherings each month throughout the Winter.

The same routine will feature each afternoon for two days to come. Scarcely a limp shows as evidence of the men's tussel with the Multnomah Club Saturday.
