SAN FRAXCISCO. Sept. 24. (Spe
cial.) 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. Scores:

E GREAT AID
TO DETROIT CLUB
Ex-Coaster Factor in Keeping
Tigers Up in Race, While
Other Pitchers Fail.
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.

CAMPUS IS PAINTED AGAIN
Coat of Green Given Walks and
Buildings and "2 0" Appears.
TJNtVeRSITT OF OREGON. 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. ,

OREGON PROFESSOR SAYS CONDI
TIONS FAVOR DISPLAY.
Astronomer Also Promlaei Exhibit of

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.

FORD 0. 2
LOVES FORGER YET
Marriage Sacred, Says Wom
an Who Goes to Trial To
day as Accomplice.
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. The first In Alaska, away from

The case came to light whon Vnr.i
was charged with forgery for signing

Kord No. 2 or Miss Frary, also signed
H as Ford's wife. The first Mr.
Ford, mother of the child, then brought

HEARING RESULTS GOOD
RAILWAY AND LUMBERMEN IN
CLOSER TOUCH, EDITOR SAYS.
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."
