Where They Play Today,
frames yesterday: .teami traveling-.
Portland at Vernon, San . Francisco at Oak
land, Los Atfigele at Salt Lake.
Curtains will be drawn on the 1915
season of the Pacific Coast League
next Sunday. One of the most dis
astrous seasons will be closed, accord
ing to the Portland fans way of look
ing at It.
The passing of the season means lit
tle to Portland bugs. The showing
of the Portland team during the last
lap of the journey to the tape was
enough to cause the staunchest Beaver
upporter to desert the Mackmen.
The big battle of the final series,
which begins this afternoon, will be
between Los Angeles and Salt Lake
for the second position. Although, of
course, the Seals have not as yet
clinched the gonfalon no one is making
any great ado over the fact as Wolver
ton's crew has a bull-dog grip on the
flag of the. 1915 Coast League win
ners. As the Oaks at the present lack the
pep of a burned-out fuse, there is little
chance of the Seals losing out. It will
be Harry Wolverton's first pennant
In the Coast League after several
seasons of trying and he Is entitled to
It. ,
The McCredies will save carfare this
week as the Beavers will remain in
Los Angeles with different opposition.
"Doc" White's Vernon Tigers will en
deavor to shove Portland further down
in the cellar for the next six days,
although there is no chance of them
climbing tout as they cinched the last
place the other day for keeps dur
ing the season.
This is the worst finish the Port
land team has made since 1907. In
that year the squad, composed chiefly
of a flock of green youngsters, ended
the season resting in the cellar.
That the same bunch of carefree
athletes will not be seen in Portland
livery next year already has been told.
Sweeping changes, the more sweep
ing with the loss of each game, are
being planned by the McCredies In
an effort to give- Portland a winning
ball club in 1916.
Judge McCredie yesterday received
word telling him of the date of the
National and American Leaguers stop
In Portland. " Two games have been
scheduled here for November 17 and
18. The two dates prior the teams
will play in Seattle.
SBill Gorman, well known in Port
land, having been here several times
as advance man for large theatrical
J productions, is acting in the same ca

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Oct. 18. (Special.) Covered with
bruises, stiff and sore, Hugo Bezdek's
followers took the Held this afternoon
and labored through signal drill, a lit
tle kicking and punting practice. How
ever, the work was brisk and. barring
further injury, the lemon-yellow will
be fit by Saturday to give Whitman a
hard tussle.
Since Saturday's victory over Idaho,
Coach Bexdek Is inclined to be more en
couraged concerning his team's
strength. Already dopesters are begin
ning to compare the Aggies and Ore
gon and to pick a winner for the com
ing -state scrap.
The same string which started activ
ities against Idaho received first call
tonight. It appears that the Oregon
.team is picked and further change
! hardly probable.
The hard scrimmage sessions begin
' tomorrow and will not conclude until
Wednesday night, before the squad de-
parts for Walla Walla Thursday.

BOXING CARD FIXED
Multnomah and Seattle Club
Athletes Clash Friday.
BEYERS WILL MEET SCOTT
Jack Carpenter - and Tomnjy Clark
Are Hard at Work for Boat to
Be Staged at Imperial Club
Thursday Night.
Boxing fans will have an opportunity
of giving the simon-pure amateurs the
once-over next Friday night, when the
Multnomah Club stages its boxing and
wrestling tournament with the Seattle
Club.
The card of inter-club events was
made up yesterday upon the receipt of
the Seattle entries by Frank Harmer,
chairman of the Multnomah Club box
ing and wrestling committee.
In the boxing events Claude Scott, of
the Seattle Club, will be pitted against
Albert Beyers, the clever Multnomah
amateur mitt slinger, who has madci
some excellent showings in inter-club
meets of the past.
The other inter-club boxing event
will be furnished by Lloyd Madden, of
Seattle. and Vincent Monlper, the
Multnomah 135-pounder. This bout
should prove a good one, as the Seat
tle boy has a good reputation in the
amateur ranks of the Sound City, and
the fistic prowess of Moniper is well
known here.
Virgil Hamlin and George Clark will
represent the Portland Club In the
wrestling set-tos. Hamlin will go to
the mat with Pete Wille at 125 pounds,
while Clark will take on Claude Fort
ner at 135 pounds. -
The preliminary wrestling and box
ing bouts will be furnished by Mult
nomah Club boxers and wrestlers.
Jack Carpenter and Tommy Clark are
both hard at work for their bout to
be staged Thursday night at the Im
perial Club's smoker in the.Arion Hall.
Clark is Just back from Pendleton,
where he put the K. O. punch over on
Billie Farrell last week. x
There is a rumor going the rounds of
local fistanla that the Portland Moose
Lodge is considering going in for ath
letics. If the plan should go through
the Moose would then stage a boxing
smoker occasionally.
The Kenton Club is also preparing to
stage some boxing shows this Winter.
The suburban club staged two classy
bills last year which were well pat
ronized. It was reported, however, that
financially the smokers were a failure
and the athletic affairs will be in other
handa this season.
.
Danny O'Brien is anxious to get on
with Jack Carpenter. Danny scored a
knockout victory over Jack some while
back in Salt Lake City, and as Car
penter has been declaring it was more
of a fluke than anything else Danny
wants to try it again.

Ralph Gruman Is back in town again

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. l8.-The Mexi
can Department of Foreign Affairs di
rected Ramon P. de Negri, Mexican
Consul-General here, today to notify
San Franciscans said to have backed
financially the construction and. main
tenance o' a race track at Tia Juna,
Lower California, that the Mexican au
thorities would not permit the oper
ation of a race track or any other form
of gambling.
"I have heard that A. B. Spreckels
is one of the men Interested in the Tia
Juana project," said Consul de Negri
today. "If I find this information to
be true, I shall inform him that Gen
eral Carranza will not permit the track
to operate. The Mexican Consul at San
Diego has received similar instruc
tions." A. B. Spreckles admitted today that
he was interested in the project, but
said that he had not heard of General
Carranza's reported objections.
"I am not the principal stockholder,"
he said. "We got permission from the
government of Lower California. More
than $250,000 will be spent on the plant.
Alverto Madero, a brother of the late
President Madero, also Is Interested in
the track."
Consul de Negri said that, according
to his information, the race track con
cession was granted by Colonel Kste
ban Cantu, self-styled dictator of
Lower California. Cantu is granting
such concessions freely, De Negri said,
but without any authority or legal
right to do so.
The Consul further said that plans
to build and operate a gambling resort
along the lines of Monte Carlo also
were under way.
FIVE ON YALE NINE WITHDRAW
"Unintentional" Violations of Sum
mer Baseball Given' as Cause.
NEW HAVEN. Conn... Oct. 18. The
withdrawal of five- members of the
Yale, baseball team, including Arthur
M. Milburn, of Haverstraw. N. y., cap
tain of the nine, and Harry W. Legore,
of Legore. Md.. the football star, from
further participation in Intercollegiate
athletics was announced tonight by
Professor Robert N. Corwln. chairman
of the Yale University Athletic Asso
ciation. The withdrawal was due to infrac
tions of the Yale eligibility rule con
cerning the playing of Summer base
ball, and which the five men. in a
signed statement to Professor Corwln,
say that they "unintentionally and in
advisedly" violated.

BT ROSCOB FXWCETT. .
It might have been the Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Bavaria, the Gaek
war of Baroda or the Bey of Cawnpore.
The brawny 200-pounder, with the dark
skin, the purple waistcoat, the tall silk
hat, the dainty Caroline Testout In his
buttonhole, swinging a jaunty cane up
and down Rue de Washington yester
day was none of these, however. It was
William H. Dletz, the famous Carlisle
Indian, who is now coaching the foot
ball prodigies at Washington State Col
lege. Pullman, Wash.
Diets ("Lonestar," as he is entered in
the Government allotment records)
dresses just like his gridiron pupils
play football, which is to say that the
big Indian out-Chesterfields Chester
field, for his football team has licked
Oregon and the Oregon Aggies already
this yeur by such huge margins as to
make alibis into absurdities.
You might imagine that the stares of
the- startled pedestrians would bother
the ex-Carlisle hero. Not so. "I'm like
Lillian Russell." said he in perfect
English. "I don't care what they "say
about me just so they say something."
Diets Leaves Some Clothes Home.
Coach Dietz passed Sunday night and
all day yesterday in the city, leaving
for Pullman in the evening. As he in
tended being absent only two days he
did not bring his entire display of sar
torial splendor with him. But they do
say his silk hat and purple vestments
are conventional alongside some of the
real sporty dope In his closets.
Dietz is half Sioux Indian and is
proud of it. He attended high school
at Rice Lake. Wis., entered Maealaes
ter College, Minn., and played football
for' two years, 1902 and 1903, and was
at Carlisle eight years up to last Win
ter. "I first went to Carlisle in 1907 and
was enrolled two years before I made
the team,", said he. "In 1909, 1910 and
1911 I held down a tackle position.
The 1911 team was the greatest ever
turned out at Carlisle. We beat Har
vard 18-13, Brown, Georgetown, Penn
sylvania, Pittsburg, Lafayette and
Washington and Jefferson. Our only
defeat was a 12-11 loss to Syracuse,
and this was a fluke on a muddy field.
Earlier in the year we defeated Lafay
ette, 18-0, and Lafayette beat Syracuse
11-0."
Warner Accepts $700O Job.
During the past three years Dietz
has been assistant to Coach Glenn
Warner,- rated as one of the greatest
gridiron mentors in the business. War
ner juit Carlisle this year to accept a
7000 Job at Pittsburg, and Dietz could
have had his Carlisle Job.
"Owing to politics the usual har
mony was lacking at Carlisle last
year," said Dietz. "So I decided the
best thing for me to do would be to
take some smaller college where 1
could begin right. I think' I' have
Warner's system down better than any
other man, and my chief regret is that
Washington State does not meet the
University of Washington this Fall.
"On a dry field, away from the sea
coast. I am sure we could beat Wash
ington's heavy team."
Diets Father White Man.
. There is an interesting story woven
about Dietz" birth. His father is a
white man, having married an Indian
girl after being taken prisoner by the
Sioux in South Dakota shortly follow
ing the Civil War. The elder Dietz
was an engineer engaged in railroad
work and was held captive by the war
like Sioux for several years. During
his stay two children were born, "Lone
star" and his sister, "Sally Eagle
horee. -
"After the Custer campaign my father
became a trader, and, when I was 4
years old, upon the death of my mother,
he returned to Wisconsin, where he
remarried. Father kept his romance
to himself, and until I was well in my
'teens everybody supposed I was the
child of his second marriage. That is
the reason for the frequent newspaper
stories that I am not an Indian."

out of the first game of the season.
For the last three seasons Columbia

own with the high schoolers. In 1913
the collegians trimmed Washington 17

was a 7-to-7 tie. Each team ended the
season with the same percentage, and
