Jupiter riuv added to the woes of the Coast League moguls yesterday and there was no ladies' day game between the Oaks and Beavers, owing to wet grounds. To make up for the lost time, a. double-header will be played Sunday, ushering out the baseball sea son in Portland for the year of 1915. And it ought to be "some" double bill. Wynn Noyes, Portland's new right-band pitcher, purchased from Spokane, will .make bis debut in one of the games. And as an added attrac tion Rudolph "Wilhelm, state golf cham pion, will endeavor to hit a golf ball over the Chapman School building to prove that a 'golfer can .hit farther than a baseball player. Thi3 exhibition will take place be tween the two games. Sunday's games will commence at 1 :30 o'clock and today's semi-final will be started at 3 o'clock. Southpaw Johnny Lush was originally carded to do the pitching for Portland yesterday Against Sammy Beer, so these two flingers likely will be found toiling against each other today. "On a winning ball club Lush would have won every game pitched in the last three months," remarked Manager McCredie yesterday. "Lush and Cove leskie have been my mainstays all year and if some of the other boys had pitched according to their past pedi grees we might have been up in the race." Mack was asked if he intended leav ing anybody at home tomorrow night when he' took his cellar champions to Fait Lake on the final three weeks of play. "No, I'm going to take them all along." he replied. "But quite a num ber of them will never come back." Which leads one to the conclusion that the Portland manager plans an extensive overhauling of his squeaky pennant machine. McCredie also denied the report that Ous Fisher would be converted into an outfielder next year. "No, there is no truth in. it," said he. "Fisher is a catcher and is too old to learn a new position now. Gus is a great hitter, but in view of this year's experience, we cannot afford to ex periment next Spring. I intend to have a couple of new outfielders for the fans In 1916." Although Walt McCredie is a little bit sour nowadays, when it comes to talking finances he declared yesterday upon inquiry that not one club in the Pacific Coast League would finish above red ink. "Salt Lake may possibly land without a deficit," said the Portland manager. "Salt Lake has been drawing extreme ly well. In fact, it has been the best city in the Coast League this season. All the rest will lose money. San Fran cisco was hard hit by the weather early in the season, and the usual crowds from July on will not make up for it. The fair has not helped baseball on the Coast, despite all their predictions. "Walter Schmidt. Seal catcher, has been there for years, and he declares that the fair has cut heavily into the Sun day and holiday crowds. Los Angeles hasn't been drawing any better than "Portland, considering the ratio of popu lation, and when we play Oakland at San Francisco they haven't drawn any better than in Portland. "All the International League teams lost heavily, too, this year." added Mc Credie. Walt McCredie admitted yesterday that he had been negotiating within the past few weeks for the purchase of the Oakland franchise in the Coast league. "IMspatches from San Francisco had the Judge mixed in it. but he had noth ing to do with it," explained the burly manager. The deal has fallen through. e "Rube" Evans intends to invade the wilds of Oregon again this Fall for a hunting trip when the ball season goes into the eclipse. Last Fall Evans was a member of Bill Rodgers' famous exploring party that attempted to navi gate the Columbia River to its source via the Eviurude route. "No more of that for me." vouch safed Rube yesterday. "I nearly drowned a dozen times. I'll bet you couldn't get Buddy Ryan, Rodgers or Lober to make that trip again for a email fortune." It will be recollected that the entire party had a narrow escape from going over the Celilo Falls. Walter Carlisle is another of the bail athletes who has a yearning to reek out the spoor of the wild bear and the wild cougar. Bill Speas will take his prettv wife back to Toledo with him. Fisher will winter in Portland, as usual. Most of the remaining Heavers will either go Kast to their homes or remain in Southern California for a crack at the Winter leagues. Walter Doane, formerlv of the Port land club, has held a position as bailiff in Judge Galens' court for several Winters. This year Doane will spend the off season at his old home in Penn sylvania. It cost Bill Stumpf $25 for his lit tle escapade with a policeman a few nights ago. Bill and Chuck Ward were accosted by a "copper" some time after midnight and as they didn't consider 1t any of the be-starred afTicer's busi ness who they were or whither bound, they began kidding him when accosted Result, both were taken to the "hoos gow" on a charge of "being tip after hours." When McCredie heard of it he was aa sore as Kaiser Wilhelm after the loss of an army corps. "That little party will cost you fS " exclaimed McCredie, his ire aroused. "Here we are in the cellar and you fellows walk the streets at midnight Instead of being home in bed." "Well. I have heard a lot about the .West being wild and woolly," said the Portland second baseman later. "But I never imagined things were so ex citing out here that they would "pinch" a guy for being up after midnight. We were going borne from a party at a friend's home and were doing? nothinsr out ot tne way. ANGELS BEAT VERNON, 1 TO Terry and Koerner Pmt Up Wonder- ' fill Exhibition of Baseball. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1. After play ing eight innings of no-run baseball Los Angeles tallied one in the ninth, winning today's game from Vernon. 1 to 0. In the last half singles by Bay less and Kane brought the fans to their feet, but an out and a double play put a quick end to the game.

Rutgers will in vade Tigertown with a powerful team tomorrow and in this respect will have a decided advantage over the Prince ton combination, which is developing slowly for the so-called championship games of November. Last season the Tigers were hard pressed to defeat Rutgers by a score of 12 to 0. and the New Brunswick clan is reported to be much stronger and further advanced in the technique of the game than was the case in 1914. Virginia, which travels to New Haven to meet Yale, did not prove particu larly formidable last year, and while the Southerners lolled up a fair-sized score against Randolph-Mason a week ago. it is likely that the Elis will be able to hold the visitors in check fully as successfully as they did in the game of 12 months ago. The Massachusetts Aggies, whieh forced Dartmouth hard lust week, will be Harvard's opponent at Cambridge and4should give the crimson strong op position. Cornell and Pennsylvania will meet Oberlin and Franklin and Marshall, re spectively, and the coaches of the two universities don't anticipate that their charges will be forced to extremes to win. Dartmouth will play Maine, which Yale defeated a week ago, 37 to 0, and the "Hanover eleven is understood to harbor a desire to surpass these fig ures. Baseball Statisti STANDING OK THE TEAMS.

DETAILS ARE FIXED TODAY More Interest Seems to Center In Date of Opening Contest Than in Location or Initial Battle , for Championship. NEW YORK, Oct 1. All the details of the coming world's series between the Boston Americans and the Phila- delphia Nationals will be arranged at a meeting of the National commission to be held in this' city tomorrow. On the toss of a coin will depend the choice of the city in which the opening game will be played, but there appears to be more interest in the date of the open ing contest than in the location of the initial battle for the championship of 1915. Whether the series will begin on Friday. October 8. or on Saturday. October 9, is causing much discussion among followers of baseball in this city. Many express the belief that the American League interests will en deavor to have the play begin on Fri day, October 8, the day 'after the close of the league season. This would preclude the possibility of the Phillies sending their star pitcher, Grover Cleveland Alexander, to the mound in three of the first four games played, as might be done easily should the series start on Saturday, October 9. Under the latter schedule Alexander could be worked Saturday. Monday and Wednesday, which, in the opinion of many close followers of baseball, would be decidedly advan tageous to the National League stand ard bearers. A point made by those in favor of beginning-the series on Friday is that it would be a much more convenient date for those fans who desire to wit ness most of the games of the series. No matter which city was selected for the opening games, the visiting spec tators would have Sunday in which to make the trip to the other City. Many believe that the National Commission will take this fact into consideration in assigning the dates of play, which are expected to call for two games In one city, two in the other, to be fol lowed by alternating games until the close of the series. Other matters to come up for con sideration will include the price and handling of tickets, the assigning of umpires and numerous minor details requiring considerable discussion, and the meeting may develop into a pro tracted session. B. B. Johnson, president of the Amer ican League: Garry Herrmann, presi dent of the Cincinnati National League Club, and President John K. Tener. of the National League, the members of the National commission, were expected to arrive in this city late tonight or early tomorrow morning. The execu tive staffs of the rival clubs also are expected to attend the meeting, as well as several magnates of clubs not di rectly concerned in the world's series. 4 00 SEE SHOW FAIR RACES Flora Bora Wins 2:20 Trot on 31-uddy Track at Salem.

AGGIES ON EDGE FOR GAME Bruises and Strains) Disappear and Team to Play Willamette Chosen. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Corvallis. Oct 1. (Special.) Light work has been the rule during the last two nights and bruises and strains from scrimmages of the early week have disappeared and the machinery has received a final polish for the game wtth illamette tomorrow after noon: The feature of the week's work has been the aggressiveness and fighting spirit of the 26 men comprising the varsity squad. It is these qualities which are booked to compensate for tne lacK of veterans in the varsity fighting front which will bear the bur dens of the schedule outlined for the Fall campaign. To date it is practically impossible to choose 11 men and call them the varsity team, because of the hot competition for final honors. The Alumni game last Saturday was a disappointment to fans and all con cerned, who are loath to accept the ex hibition as giving an authentic line on the prospects of Stewart's men in the frays looming up in the immediate future and who are looking to tomor rows game as a more dependable cri terion. While the varsity has had but little difficulty in disposing of the Metho dists in past seasons, it is rumored that Coach Matthews has assembled a group of athletes this year who are prepared to put up a pretty battle. The orange and bluck machine as It begins the contest will be composed of Allen and Moist, ends: Laythe and "Pete" Anderson, tackles: Cole and King, guards: Bissett center; Abraham, and Bille. halfbacks, and Hoerline and Locey, fullbacks. OREGON AWAITS PACIFIC TKXTATIVB LIXEl'P FOR GAME TO DAY IS AN.VOX'XCKD. With Signals Well la Hand and Team work Smoother, Bexdek Takes Rosier View. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Oct. 1. (Special.) Hugo Bezdek drove his men through showers, sunshine and near-storms on Kincald field this after noon, in a final windup before the sea son's second game, with Pacific Uni versity, here tomorrow. "Things look better." half mused the Oregon coach, as he watched his favor ites lap the track and depart gyro ward. -"They have the signals In hand and the teamwork is smoother." With the exception of Huntington, who has been on the shelf for two weeks, favoring a torn back muscle, the Bezdek-Cornell tribe Is thirsting for action, due no doubt to splendid physical condition. Little is known of the squad that represents Pacific University. Bezdek has announced his lineup as follows, subject to changes at any mo ment: Cossman, center; Snyder and Cawley, guards: Beckett and Ensley. tackles: Bartlett and Risley, ends. The backneld will find Monteith barking the plays, Hoskins smashing at full, while Bob Malarkey and Lyle Bigbee have first call as halfbacks. Tuerck, Hoisington, Spellman and Couch are acting as substitutes in the ground gaining capacity, as is Morfltt Mon teith's understudy.
