He walked two, only 29 men facing him during the nine innings. Each of the two Cleveland runs was scored by a batsman who started the inning by be ing hit, an error helping each on his way to the plate. By a peculiar coin cidence each run was scored by a sacri fice fly. The second game was a farcical con test and was won easily by Chicago, I to 4. Scores: First came: R. H. E. R. H. E.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. Oct. 1 (Special.) It is a gloom-stricken campus at the Oregon Agricultural College. Football prospects for the coming games with the University of Idaho, Washington State College and the University of Nebraska, which follow each other in rapid succession in the next three weeks are none too brilliant. The game with the Multnomah Club Saturday resulted in the elimination of "Hcooty" Dutton, speedy halfback, for the season with a broken leg, and Coach Fipel dares not even consider who will fill the shoes of the Kansas lad against the University of Oregon and Dobie's Seattleites.

So I$53s M HAPPY JEFF EAST GETS CLASSIC Western Clubs Out of Race in Both Leagues. ROBINS NOT AT TOP FORM Final Games to Decide Pennant In Older Circuit Begin Today. Braves and Phillies to Play Two Double-Headers. NEW YORK, Oct. 1. Boston, winner of the world's championship of 1915, is again the pennant winner In the Ameri can League. Although Chicago's defeat In their first game today brought a decision in the American, the pennant in the Na tional Leaiue is not yet clinched, and it will take the concluding games of the season to decide the winner. Brook lyn in first place, and Philadelphia in second, appear to have the best chances of opposing Boston in the inter-league championship series. Whether Brooklyn, Philadelphia or Boston wins In the National, the classic of baseball will be played in the East as it was last year. Not since 1910, when Chicago won first place in the National League, has the West had a contender in the championship series. Giants Great Streak' Opened. The New York National League team last week established a major league record of 26 successive victories. The previous major league record of 20 straight games won, made by Provi dence 32 years ago, was passed by the New Tork team Monday. Saturday the new mark was increased to 26 by win ning one game from Boston, in which Benton allowed only one hit. Boston broke the winning streak by taking the second game of the double-header, 8 to 3. Brooklyn, although maintaining its hold on first place, did not play the baseball the team showed during July and early August. In the opening game of the concluding series with Philadel phia, Thursday, Philadelphia, with Al exander In the box, overwhelmed Brooklyn. 8 to 4. Friday's contest was postponed until Saturday morning, when Philadelphia, with Rixey at the helm, defeated Brooklyn decisively by 7 to 2. In the afternoon game Satur day Brooklyn defeated Philadelphia 6 to 1. Marquard held the champions to three hits, while Alexander was hit hard. . Final Series Begins Today.

TEXAS STRENGTH SURPRISES University Football Eleven Promises to Be Big Factor! n Race. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 1. Loss of many football veterans and the slowness of new material in rounding into form operated to make the "practice" games in the Southwest more difficult of successful negotiation than usual. The notable exception was University of Texas., which rolled up 74 points while holding Southern Methodist University sconess. -The Texans' backers were surprised at the power of the offensive developed Dy t-oacn van tient, formerly of Uni versity of Missouri. Texas will play Missouri later in the season. University of Kansas achieved a bare victory over the Empire (State Normal, which used an adaptation of the Nebraska shift formation and played the Jay 'Hawkers to a stand still. The Kansas defense was strong. Iowa won an easy victory over the Iowa Teachers' College, 19 to 0, and uraKe dereated Penn College, 7 to 2.

Pennant aspirations of the Hampats received a sad jolt yesterday afternoon, when Portland defeated Vernon on the Vaughn'street grounds In both games of a double bill. 4 to 3 and a to 2. The double-barreled defeat gave Portland the series, four out of seven, Vernon winning two and tying one. Pitcher Allen Sothoron was the big star of the bargain matinee. He gets credit for winning both battles, mak ing three wins over the Tigers for the week and ten consecutive triumphs. "Chubby Al" broke up the first game with a double in the ninth, scoring Ward. The lad who goes to Fielder Jones next Spring relieved Byron Houck at the start of the eighth inning of the first game, and blanked the Hampats for the two - closing Stanzas. Art Fromme Started against Houck, but was taken out in the seventh, when Walter Doane hit for him. George Johnson pitched well for the southern ers until Sothoron came through with his healthy clout in the ninth. Ken Williams Swats Homer. Kenneth Williams co-starred with Sothoron , for it was a healthy home run wallop into the center-field bleach ers In the fourth inning of the first game that made the victory possible. Williams' homer scored Wille and How ard ahead of him. Patterson sent Otto Hess, former Boston . Brave southpaw, against Soth oron in the second game. After blank ing the home guard for five innings and allowing but one hit, the lanky Hess blew up in the sixth and Port land chased four runs over, giving the Mackmen a lead that was never over come. A wild throw by "Swede" Risberg allowed one of these runs to score, but Hess was dented for three blows in this inning singles by Evans and Howard and a two-base knock against the left garden wall by Jack Roche. A walk to Sothoron .started Hess down the skid. Sothoron Hit Often at Start. Previous to this Vernon scored one run in both the first and fourth in nings. Hits by Daley. Gleichmann and Bates were responsible for the first tally, while Schmidt's walk, a single by Hess, Daley's walk and a sacrifice made possible the other run Not content with this score of 4-2. Portland added another tally for good measure in the seventh on a single by Evans, sacrifice by Vaughn and a sin gle by Howard. In the first game; won by the Bea vers. 4-3. Byron Houck had things rather much his own way until the seventh, when, with the count 3-1 in Portland's favor, Byron was nicked for two runs as a result of singles by Mat tick and Doane, a pinch bitter, and Mc- GafTtgan's double to left center. Doane batted for Fromme and George John son. the Indian, finished the game and receipted for the defeat. Walter McCredie scented further trouble for Byron Houck, so to 'show his confidence in Sothoron he sent Al in to succeed Houck in the eighth. Sothoron won the game with his sen sational two-bagger against the left center fence, scoring Ward.

THOUSANDS HCXT AT YAKIMA One Party Counts ISO Autos Filled With Pheasant Shooters. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Oct. 1. (Special.) Several thousand pheasant hunters were in the field in different parts of the valley today. One auto mobile party driving from Sunnyside to North Yakima last evening counted more than 150 cars laden with hunters, guns, dogs and equipment. One hotel served more than 100 4 o'clock break fasts to hunters this morning. The Inroads made by hunters last Fall and the unfavorable Spring, which caused the death of many young birds, have thinned the pheasants, and a clpsed season of three years after the end of the present open season is pre dicted. Many prominent sportsmen are here from the sound, and some are here from other states. A .party of Chinese and Japanese hunters from Seattle passed through here yesterday afternoon for the lower valley. C. C. Chapman Seriously Ilu. C. C.

DAVE BANCROFT INJURED Removal of Former Portland Star Centers Interest of Coast Fans on Robins, Wno Have Three ex-Coasters on Rolls. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. W'ith the Boston Red Sox guaranteed of another American League pennant and a series on tap between the Phil lies and Brooklyn baseball fans had hoped for a decision ere this as to the contending teams for the world's baseball championship. It's still a toss-up between Brooklyn and Philadelphia for the National League pennant, however, and probably the winner may not be known until the day the race closes. October 5. The all-absorbing series between the Phillies and Brooklyn closed with the double-header Saturday, Philadelphia winning two out of the three games. The odd game defeat pruned Brook lyn's margin to one-half game, so there Btill Is a good chance for the Phillies to win. Inasmuch as Brooklyn has to take on the New York Giants in four games down the home stretch. Giants Rated as Strongest. The New York Giants Just now are rated as the strongest club in the older organization, as a string of 26 consecu tive victories would seem to indicate. However, while the Brooklyns and Giants are battling each other, the Phillies will be tackling a tough squad in the Boston Braves. These two clubs have two postponed games, meaning that six games will have to be played in four days. This will work some thing of a hardship on the Phillies as Moran has no large stock of twlrlers from which to choose. Should Brooklyn prove the ultimate winner, doubtless It would add a trifle more zip to the world's series than would be the cage were the Phillies again to face the Red Sox. Brooklyn Has Three Stars. Brooklyn has three great pitchers. In Jeff Pfeffer and Larry Cheney, right banders, and Sherwood Smith, south paw, and a couple of stellar batsmen in Wheat and Daubert. The Superbas. too. can boast of a quartet of athletes who have been through the fire of some of the toughest world's series battles Combs, Marquard, Meyers and Merkle. Merkle seems to be Just the man the Brooklyns need to round out a ball club for he la. able to play first, third or outfield.
