On behalf of Del Howard there is extended to the Beavers and to the sporting- public in general most abject apologies. Way back early In the week, one afternoon when the Portland In fielders got their signals mixed, the Oaks slipped through a win. Since then they have been running true to form with nary a victory. In the face of a double-edged loss that came on Sun day, Manager Del feels it is necessary to make some sort of an explanation of his failure to land a clean sweep. The double victory today put the Beavers in fourth place and to within half a game of third place. As Del will have it, the Portlanders and not the Oaks arc the responsible parties to be placed under the blame. Up to the eighth inning of the morn ing battle, the Oaklanders were peril ously close to victory. But the Ore Bonians, headed by Ivan Howard, came on apace and the first thing the cellar champions knew, they were nursing a B-to-3 defeat. In the afternoon, with a final score of 8 to 1, Umpire Doyle 'is offered up as the alibi. Despite figures to show Portland would have carried the honors In any event, Doyle is blamed for call ing a ball on Williams, where a third etrike would have retired the side. It did make the difference of three runs, for the outfielder cleaned the sacks with a long smack to the rightfield fence, but in the long run. the result would have been unchanged. Speed Martin, disgusted and discouraged, re tired in favor of Busher White, who al lowed two more tallies before he had finished. Johnny Vann, in rare old form, per mitted the Portlanders to roam the bases at will with seven purloined sacks to their credit and missed one easy foul catch because he could not judge where the ball would land.

YEAR'S RECORD IS STRIKING Tliirty Victories and Six Defeats Are Registered With Syracuse, In cluding 12 Shutouts Before Going to Major League. One reason for the Detroit American League club being out of the running for the American League pennant is the fact that its pitchers have weak ened now and then lately. One pitcher who might have assisted the team in. grabbing the flag is Howard Ehmke, who broke Into the Pacific Coast League sensationally in 1914. This is the chap who came to the Tigers from Syracuse and who lumped the Washington Americans for the Feds last year. Clark Griffith made a fuss over him when Detroit bought the youngster from the New York State League club, claiming that he was Washington s property before he hopped to the Federals and should therefore revert to the Senators. Ban Johnson, In a diplomatic way. settled this argument by ruling Ehmke to be the property of the Washington club, but managed things so that De troit made out a check for Ehmke in favor of Washington, instead of Syra cuse. First Start la Victory. This tall and lanky individual had his first trial with Detroit at Cleve land the week of September 11, when Hugh Jennings sent him the entire route. He beat Cleveland easily. Two runs, neither of them earned, were scored against - him. He walked one batter and fanned four. He has an overhead and sidearni delivery, a good curve and a fast one that carried a hop and, as can be guessed from his bases on balls record in his first full game, excellent control. On top of this he gave one of the greatest exhibitions of fielding fur- tkished by a twirler in the American League this year. His next out was against the Athletics on September 16, and again he showed to be every inch a pitc.hera.nd he owns to some inches by the way he handled Mack's im proving team. Later he lost a tough game to Boston, but came back with a 6-5 win over Washington yesterday. Record In Minors Good. It seems impossible that a player who carries the minor league record that Ehmke does can fail to make good. Grover Cleveland Alexander was looked upon as a wonderful performer in the minors and he hung up a record in ' the New York State League that stood as a.mark that many might shoot at without coming near. Well, Alex ander's wonderful record went into the discard this Summer before Ehmke, who won 30 games, of which 12 were shutouts and lost six, most of which he finished for some teammate. His record is better than Alexander's in some other ways and one that will stand, probably, for some time to come. For instance, the total number of hits he allowed is less than the total num ber of men he struck out. In the games in which he was scored on the opposition rarely got more than two runs and total bases on balls and wild pitches and hit batsmen is something that furnishes a cinch problem in. ad dition. He seems to be one of the best catches of the season and he came at a time when Detroit could make the best use of a good moundsman.. Ehmke will probably be used in regular turn. He pitched every other day or do for Syracuse and would go stale if allowed to loaf for any length of time. Ex-Coastera Aiding. Detroit. Bush and "Pep" Young, ex-Sacramento infielders, are pulling great fielding stunts around the keystone for Detroit. Oscar Vitt, former Seal, is glaying the greatest game of his life ana on urst narry neiiman ana teorge Burns are alternating in holding up the class of the first defense. Babe Ruth and Ernie Shore, who with George Foster, Carl Mays. ex Portland Colt, and Hub Leonard com pose the Boston Red Sox pitching staff, make up the best bunch of pitchers ever together on one club. Vernon is going to fight the Phila delphia Athletics with their own weap ons, according to advices from Los An geles. The Athletics sent Ira Thomas out west to look over the available talent In the Pacific Coast League, and Ira selected Pitcher Ellis Johnson and Ray Bates as likely candidates for the Athletics' playing corps next year. In the deal that was made between the Athletics and the Tigers, several young players are involved. To guard against a hunch or Iemon3 being sent in exchange for the two real ballplay ers, the Tigers are going to send "Doc" white east shortly.

Eugene. Or Sept. 24. (Special.) Green paint HI again made its appearance upon the campus last night, liberally spattering walks and buildings. The steps to the entrance to the campus from Eleventh street were adorned with a large "20." and the walks along the campus on Eleventh street the same. The co-operative store has a. "20" gracing one side, and the numerals were placed on the Phi Gamma Delta and Beta Theta PI fraternity houses. But the freshmen deny all guilt. The first of the green paint outrages occurred Friday night when college traditions were violated in the smear ing of green paint on sun dial, campus walks, senior bench and Oregon seal. The freshmen also dented all knowl edge of this, but responded to the sum mons of the upper classmen and cleaned off the unsightly paint yesterday morn ing. Now the upper classmen are speculat ing upon Just what course to pursue. The freshmen insist the outrages are the work of outside persons. , B0REAL1S TO 8E CLEAR OREGON PROFESSOR SAYS CONDI TIONS FAVOR DISPLAY. Astronomer Also Promlaei Exhibit of Falling; Sara October SO, Novem ber 13 and 34. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) For the first time in 11 years the aurora borealls commonly known aa the Northern lights, will be visible to the people of Oregon within the Winter of 1916-17. according to Edward H. McAllister, professor of mechanics and astronomy of the University of Oregon. This phe nomenon is bright to the people of this latitude only during the time when the sun spots have reached their maxi mum number. The sun spots reach their maximum only once in 11 years, and. according to Professor McAllister, there seems to be some conectlon be tween the size and number of the spots and the intensity of the display of the Northern lights. The aurora borealls will appear near the northern horizon in streamers of white and colored lights, varying in length from two or three to several hundred miles. It is probable that the only lights which will be visible to the people of this latitude will be the white streamers. In the colder or more north erly latitudes the display may show streamers of green, yellow, red and purple. Another interesting phenomenon will appear In the heavens on November 15 and 20 in the form of shooting stars, ac cording to Professor McAllister. A smaller display may also be seen on October 20. Shooting stars may be seen "ut once 'a year, during the time when the earth cuts through the orbit of the planets from which the stars come, jrhe display which is due November 15 may be seen In the early hours of the morning. That of November 20 may be seen in the early evening. WEST SIDE ROAD OBJECT FEDERAL AID WANTED FOR PORT-LAND-ECGENE HIGHWAY. Enthusiastic Meeting; Held In McMlnn vllle. Committee Appointed and Session Set for Dallas. M'MI,NNVTLLE. Or., Sept. 24. (Spe cial.) An enthusiastic Good Roads rally was held at the Commercial Club rooms here last night under the au spices of .the commercial bodies of the West Side counties, the object of which was to work for the West Side High way and to obtain for this route recog nition from the State Highway Depart ment Commission, setting forth the im portance of the road running from Portland to Eugene, by way of New berg and McMinnville, with a view to obtaining for this West Side Highway a portion of the Federal appropriation for public roads. The distance between Portland and Eugene is 12 miles shorter than by way of the East Side route, with a, more varied scenery and with grades less steep, and it was the unanimous senti ment of the meeting that the West Side as well as the East Side should share in the appropriation for a per manent highway. Among the speakers present were Rufus C. Holman, County Commissioner of Multnomah County: C. C. Chapman, and W. R. Chandler, of Portland; State Treasurer Kay. of Salem: Dr. Vinson and C. T. Tlgard. of Tigard; A. B. Muir, of Dallas; Norman L. Hayes, of Corval lis; W. B. Dennis, of Carlton, and W. T. Vinton, of McMinnville. By unanimous vote a contmlttee of five, consisting of Norman L. Hayes, Rufus C. Holman, A. B. Mulr. C. T. Ti gard. and W. T. Vinton, was appointed to draft resolutions for a permanent organization of the West Side Highway Commission, to be presented at a meet ing to be held at Dallas on the evening of October 7.

TEARS MARK INTERVIEW "Other Woman" Known as "Person of Past," Says Second Wife, Who Is Consoled by Man Xow Standing Convicted. "Of course Homer Ford Is my hus band. My marriage to him was sacred. I have never thougnt I was not hla wife since the day the priest made us one." This waa the statement given yesterday by Elizabeth Frary. or as she Is registered at the Hotel Carlton Mrs. Homer Ford. Today this woman will go on trial on a charge of participation In the forgery for which Ford was convicted by a jury last week. She la a brown- haired, brown-eyed woman, apparently quite well educated. Her hands are red from toil. She declared that love for Homer Ford had dominated her life and although the last few years in which she has as she firmly believed been his wife, have been full of re verses and hard work, they have been a Joy to her, for she has loved. "I thought the other woman (Carrie rord. wife No. 1) waa merely a nerson of the past. I knew of the little girl ana reit sorry ror her." said the woman who will stand trial today. Pair Married by Priest. We had a contract marriage first and to me that was binding and when I applied for the dispensation at first, the archbishop in Chicago said I had better wait a while until I was aure. as I was young and It was better not to be hasty. As soon aa we could get the dispensation however, we were married by a priest. Everywhere we have lived openly as man and wife. He has been to my family as a brother in-law and son-in-law." "I am not afraid to take whatever comes, for I have never been dishon est. I have never earned a dishonest dollar, nor spent one dishonestly. I have Buffered much from Voraen In general. They have been hard on me." Miss Frary. or Mrs. Ford No. 2. as the viewpoint may be. said that "the other woman" (the first, the real Mrs. Ford, according to court ruling) had gone into her home, taken her posses sions," sold her furniture, seized even her marriage contract and other Inti mate belongings. She declares that the mother of Harriet Ford has been doing the very worst thing possible for the cniia in cringing Ford to court. Tears Interrupt Interview. Tears and sobs interrunted the Ininr view constantly. While the woman told the story of her love for him. Ford, who Is registered at the hotel as the hus- D"". pacea the door or sat on the be1 with his head bowed in hla hnH, u spoke tenderly, consolingly and backed up her statements, agreeing to all she said. Ford seemed sure that they would get a reversal of Judgment from the Supreme Court. The woman arrived Kottir,. Canada and she and the man are here s .nr. ana Mrs. H. N.Ford, at the uuici canton. Ford said that he loves the child Harriet, but that he never loved her n una inea xo love the inutner, out couidn t. aotn the wives, if so they may be termed, were married by contract with Ford.

Oregon Products' Need for Wider Mat keta Through Open Gateway and Blanket Rates Shown. In the opinion of George M. Cornwall editor of the Tlmberman and an au thority on lumber conditions, the car shortage hearing held last week before the Oregon Public Utilities Commission will have done much good if it accom plishes nothing more than to emphasise the necessity of obtaining wider mar kets lor lumber. "The hearing has also been of value In giving President Kproule and other high officials of the Southern Pacific first-hand Information of conditions surrounding the lumber business, and the desperate straits lumbermen have been put to by the Inability to get cars." said Mr. Cornwall. "The presence of President Sproule. Vice-President Scott and operating heads has already brought about a bet ter feeling between the railroad and lumbermen. "As brought out at the hearing, the Important thing to be done in the Wil lamette Valley is the opening of the fortiand gateway, so as to give Wil lamette Valley lumbermen access to all markets reached by the Great Northern. Northern Pacific and Milwaukee. "I believe that is what is absolutely essential to equalise the car shortage by giving wider distribution. If the hearing does nothing more than em phasize the necessity of wider markets, it will have done a great deal. "The hearing showed absolutely the need for open gateways and blanket rates."
