(Special.) The canadiens, showing one of the most striking reversals of form, witnessed in local hockey this season, annexed the honor in the sec ond game of the Stanley cup series through defeating the Portland Uncle Sams at the arena tonight by a score of 2 to 1. The victory of the Canadi ens under Western rules was as big a. surprise as their defeat under the Eastern rules in the opening game on Monday. There was an all-around shakeup in the flying Frenchmen tonight. Newsy Lalonde and Jack Laviolette being ab sentees from the line, their places be ing filled by Arbour and Prodgers. laviolette is suffering from a broken nose, while Newsy Lalondo was on the ailing list through a severe cold. The Westerners started out with the seven regulars who have represented them in their successful' Coast season. AVraterncra Are Speedier. The Canadiens. although not as speedy as their opponents, held their own at all stages of the play and the Western rules offered the slower men an opportunity of keeping with the speedier ones, as the rule covering off side play in the center section of the rink permitted of their loafing and joining in with the play as it was car ried up to them. Portland used their poke check to almost as good ad vantage as on Monday night, which shut off the Canadiens from scoring in the second and third periods. The flying Frenchmen played a bet ter defensive game than in their first meeting with the L'ncle Sams, while to Vezina goes the greatest share of scoring the victory. On several oc casions, when the Portland players got inside the local defense, Vezina beat the.m lone-handed and turned aside shots that looked to be sure counters as they started on their way. There were numerous penalties handed out by the officials, who again handled the game in an efficient manner. Port land suffered more from penalties than the locals, as they played out the last four minutes with five men against seven, Johnson and Irvine both being sent to the bench for rotighing it. Johnson bodied Arbour into the fence and drew a penalty, while Irvine struck at Bitre. for which he was benched shortly after Johnson had re tired. ltrn Rules I. Iked. The Western rules are vastly differ ent from the National Hockey Associa tion rules and in many respects are superior to them. The penalty sys tem stands out over the Eastern rules, for when a player is sent to the bench substitutes are not allowed, so that the team is actually penalized by hav ing to play a man short. None of the penalties handed out tonight had any bearing on the result of the match. In fact, the Canadien . scored their second goal playing a man short. The attendance was about the same in number as on the opening night and there was a great diversity of opinion as to which are the better rules, although the opinion was almost unanimous that the Western penalty rule is much the better and eliminates the fighting cross checking and slash ing seen in National Hockey Associa tion matches this season.

Whence comes the ivory'.' meaning whence come all the ballplayers! Yea! Whence the ivory? Portland's supply has come from all points of the compass. And it is a copious order, at that. McCredie has more young ballplayers around his camp than you would expect to find on a dozen ball teams. New York State has furnished us with Mister Owen Quinn, a young first sacker who played last year in the New York. State League. He was drafted by Portland upon recommen dation of Scout Xeal, of the Philadel phia Nationals. Missouri ForalMhra Coaple. Hollacher is a St. Louis product as is "Chuck" Ward but lie gained his one year's experience at Keokuk, Ia. Vaughn is from Tacoma, Wash., and so is Oscar Harstad. Strangely, Vaughn never played any kind of ball around his home town. All his experience was gained at Princeton University. After four years for the Tiger. Vaughn was picked up by George Stallings and ever since then he has been playing in the International and Federal leagues. Four From Central States. Southworth, Nixon, Sothoron and Dunn are from the Central states. Nixon did his first professional base balling at Newcastle and Erie, In Penn sylvania. He then - became the prop erty of the Cleveland club and passed one year on the Cleveland s Class B club at Waterbury. Conn., before land ing back in the "Sixth City." V ille, another outfielder, is from that section of the sunny South that is closest to Mexico. His home is at Waco, Tex. He broke into baseball at Baylor College and was sent to the big time by Ralph.Glaze. McCredie got him from the Cleveland club. Quite a number of the aspiring Beavers are truly representative of a Pacific Northwestern ball club. Hig- ginbotham used to smoke cornsilk in the Coon Hollow suburbs of Seattle be fore breaking into ball at Tacoma and Aberdeen. Jimmy Clark is another Washington native son. Some Are Oregon Grown. The Bigbee ' brothers, Byron Houck, Al Bartholemy and Homer Haworth are the Oregon-grown timber. These, with Vaughn and Harstad, round out the Northwest delegation to nearly a dozen. Of the old vets. Stumpf hails from Baltimore. Md.: Speas. from Toledo. O.; Fisher from Waco, Tex.; Lush from Williamsport, Pa., and Noyes from Kearney, Neb. Stumpf, Speas and Lush were sent to Portland by Cleveland, and Noyes was brought out here or iginally by the San Francisco Seals. Mack got him last Fall from Spokane. It is really interesting to note how the paths of the various players get crossed. This is a big country, but it Is no exaggeration to say that prac tically e-ery ballplayer in the United States is known to at least one player on every Pacific Coast League club. World Is Small After All. Billy Nixon played at Waterbury, Conn., in 1914, and the first sacker on the Springfield club was a left-hander named Quinn. It is the same Qulnn now his teammate on the opposite side of the continent. Byron Houck pitched against Quinn in the Colonial League in the New England states last year. Dennis Wilie hails from Waco, Tex., yet Dr. Leslie Clough, the Portland trainer, knows him, for he trained the Baylor University team when Wilie was a rah! rah! rah! lad. But an even stranger coincidence is that Wilie, Southworth and Nixon, the present Portland outfield tricj held down these same Jobs with Cleveland in the Amer ican Association only last year. Bobby Vaughn and Lush were for merly on the same club in Eastern Can ada. Now, six years later, they are together on the Pacific Coast. Jimmy Clark and Oscar Harstad broke into fast baseball together at Vancouver, B. C. also in Canada. Harstad went up to Cleveland. Like the storied porker. Clark stayed at home. Walter McCredie is paying room rent for both of them. Fisher and Stumpf tried out together at New York under Harry Wolverton in 1912. Wolverton is managing San Francisco and Stumpf and Fisher are working for Walt McCredie. Club to Have Dance Tonight.

MARSH FIELD, Or., March 22. (Spe cial.) Marshfield promoters and base ball fans are planning on a new field for games this year and are negotiat ing for a diamond at Englewood, a suburb a mile from this city. There Is a jitney service to Englewood, and pa trons would be well served in getting to and from the games. Marshfield, North Bend, Coquille and Bandon will have ball teams this sea son, and there are a number of coun try localities, such as Sumner. East side. Coos River, Norway, Powers, Blue Ridge and Lakeside, that will have teams. A league will probably be formed on Coos Bay. comprising Marsh field.

Administration Plans That School Shall Devote More Time to In-., tramurnl Sports In Future. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis. March 22. (Special.) Student athletic interest at the Ore gon Agricultural College is about even- y divided between the coming Far Western indoor meet and the selection of the director of athletics and foot ball coach for the coming year, which is expected to take place within a week or ten days. While in the East on his recent trip President Kerr Interviewed several ap plicants for the position of director of athletics and also for football coach and will soon lay the matter before the board of regents and the athletic board of the college. It is practically assured that the director of athletics will not coach the football 'team and it is considered doubtful If he will de vote any time to coaching. If such be the case the matter of the director would come before the board of re gents while the athletic board would decide the question of coach. It is well known that while the ad ministration is in favor of intercol legiate athletics more attention in the future will be devoted to intramural sports and it is with this in view that the recommendations of the new men will be made. A man familiar with successful intramural plans and at the same time competent to direct the va rious intercollegiate activities will be recommended for director. The new di rector of athletics also will have charge of the health service which doubtless will be inaugurated at the college next year. The matter of the football schedule is not yet decided by the athletic board. As the situation stands at present the Aggies will play the Michigan Aggies at Lansing. Mich.: the University of Washington at Seattle. Idaho at Mos cow. Washington State College at Port land or Pullman, Nebraska at Portland and the University of Southern Cali fornia at Los Angeies.

RIVALS TO WRESTLE 0'Connell and Vance to Settle Old Grudge on Mat. BOUT TO BE HERE APRIL 7 Bitter Peeling Engendered Pour Years Ago at Spokane Leads to Plan for Match Weight Xot Yet Agreed On. To settle a grudge of four years' standing, Eddie O'Connell and Frank Vance will meet in a wrestling match in Portland April 7. O'Connell is the wrestling instructor at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, while Vance is serving as the physical director of the Seattle Ama teur Athletic Club. Four years ago Vance was instruct ing wrestling at the Seattle institution, and took several of his star pupils to Spokane to compete in the Pacific Northwest Association championships there. O'Connell also had his Multnomah Club crew at the Inland Empire city, and the first night of the tournament one of Eddie's boys met one of Vance's. Frank's best hold was a half nelson and an arm lock. The Seattle ama teur grappler promptly fastened it on the winged "M" representative, but the Portland boy broke the hold. "That's all he's got; now go after him," shouted O'Connell from the Port land lad's corner. The match was a tough one, the Seattle boy winning with Vance's celebrated hold, the half nelson and arm lock. Impromptu Match Arranged. The next afternoon O'Connell and the Portland delegation walked into the billiard parlor of the Spokane In stitution where Vance and his proteges were playing billiards and fanning among themselves. Some of Vance's pupils started to "kid" the Portland mentor about his man being tossed with the half nelson and arm lock. It seems that Vance also chipped in, rousing O'Connell. "I'd like to get you on the mat," said Eddie, his Irish ' temper rising. The two instructors then took part in a warm argument, the pupils of both and their friends willing to place a bet on their respective champions. Vance, however, refused to wrestle for money, as he had never wrestled a professional match, at least under his own name. The argument grew so warm, how ever, that the outcome of the whole thing was the meeting of the two ex perts in the gymnasium right then and here. Quite a crowd havl gathered. Outcome Never Settled. They wrestled fiercely for 15 min utes, until the going got so warm that friends persuaded them to call a hait. Some present say that Vance secured a fall. Others say that O'Connell was forced to quit on account of an injured ankle, while still others say that neither had a fall, but that the going got so rough it had to be stoppevl. Anyway, O'Connell and Vance have been arch enemies ever since and their meeting on the mat April 7 here should provide local fans with a treat. There is some little hitch over the weight. O'Connell is insisting that Vance make 158 pounds ringside, while the Seattle physical director wants the poundage to be set at 158 pounds at C o'clock the evening of the contest. It is expected that the two men will get together bn this within a couple of days. O'Connell only weighs about 160 pounds. The match will either be staged at the Rose City Athletic Club or at the Eleventh-street playhouse. PATTERSOX PICKS HIS INFIELD Glcichmann, Griggs, McGaffigan and Bates Form Vernon Bulwark.

Louis Guisto, the 200-pound St. Mary's College star, has made good with the Portland club and will start the Coast season against San Francisco April 4 as the regular first sacker. This most important announcement of the season was made by Manager McCredie at the conclusion of a full practice game today. In which the Beavers whaled the tar out of Ryan's stars, a team in the Winter league. The score was 11 to 1. While Guisto's performance against these bushers was not the determining factor in McCredie's decision, the big fellow was there both ways from the middle. He walked once, stole one bag and hit safely on two other occasions. One of his larrups a three-bagger over the left fielder's head was in serted at a most opportune time with runners champing the bits at second and third bases. sle Determining- Factor. "Guisto is a biggei man than Quinn and can spear balls out of Quinn's reach, confided Walt McCredie to night. "He appears to be a dandy fielder, cool and collected, and I really believe that he is destined to become another Harry Heilmann..

Holmes is now managing the Lincoln Western Leaguers. McCredie already has sent Lober and Carlisle to Holmes' club. Art Black, the young catcher, likely will get a release within a few days. The Indian. Smith, is beginning to show considerable class, and may be turned over to Nick Williams if Spo kane is in need of a right-handed pitcher.
