14 THE SIORNIXG OKEGO NI ATT, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 191G. 3 BIG GAMES ARE SATURDAY CARD Oregon Picked to Win From California, Despite Corps of Imported Coaches. IDAHO-WHITMAN TO PLAY Clash in Portland Between Angles and Nebraska Regarded as Toss lip la Light of the Great Work Against Pullman. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. With three games of major Import ance on the calendar for this week on the Pacific Coast, football is getting down o the beefsteak stage of the menu. Whitman and Idaho will meet Friday at Walla Walla in their annual tussle, and the following day Oregon journeys to Berkeley to play California, while the Nebraska University athletes will be battling with the Oregon Aggies on Multnomah Field. Using comparative scores as a "dop ing" basis, Oregon should have little difficulty in defeating the University of California, despite California's large student body and its corps of imported coaches. Oregon Has Tried Veterans. ' Oregon has most of the old timber tack. Reinforced by Johnny Parsons of former campaigns. Coach Bezdek bids fair to enjoy his most successful season in many years. Optimism of the Eugene supporters for the coming clash with California was materially strengthened by the showing Whittier made against the Berkeleyites last Saturday. California won in the last few minutes of play, 21 to 17. The 6outhern California elevens are not up to the standard of the Pacific North west, and the fact that Whittier out played the Californians during a major portion of the fracas augurs well for Oregon. In weight the teams will be about equal, so Oregon will have no advan tage in that respect. Inasmuch as Nebraska has never teen in the West and has not played a. Coast eleven, there is no method for arriving at any forecast on the prob able result of this big inter-sectional same that Portland has been so fortu nate to secure. Aggie Must Be Respected. Prior to the Oregon Aggies' victory over Washington State it looked like a cinch for Nebraska. However, any team that can humble the powerful squad that ran roughshod over every thing on the Coast last Fall, and which wound up by making a Rose Tourna-, ment farce out of the strong Brown' University team, is quite strong enough to grapple successfully with Nebraska or any other team in the land. Fortunately, the Oregon Aggies will le able to use freshmen against Ne braska, so the team will take the field just as it faced the Pullmanites. Coach Pipal has a line that will weigh close to 184 or 185 pounds, conserva tively. His backfleld is light, but fast and tricky, and the toe of this young Pasadenan, "TufTy" Conn, is a potential factor that must be seriously consid ered. Cot-vain Tackles Strong In Brooke and McNeil the Oregon Aggies possess a worthy pair at tackle to face the Missouri all-star pair, Shaw and Corey. Brooke fs the 200-pound lad who did such good work at guard for the Aggies in the Syracuse game last Fall. He was practically the only Corvallis athlete who outplayed his man on the scrimmage front. Both Brooke and McNeil will be eligible In the Coast conference games, although Conn, Reardon, Beverley, Anderson, of Long Beach: Hyatt, Walker, Busch. Webster and Gill will not be permitted to play against Oregon or Washington. Coach Pipal likely will use A. Ander son at Walker's guard; Bissett at one end, and Morgan, Hubbard and Willey In the backfleld in these Coast confer ence embroglios. All this bunch will be eligible next year, together with Holmes, an Occi dental backfleld star who is attending college: Abe Abraham, who undoubt edly will return to the fold, and others. Then watch the Aggies! VETERAX BILLY JORDAN DIES Prizefight Announcer for Four Dec ades in Poverty at Death. TOUNTVILLE, Cal., Oct. 16 "Billy" Jordan, of San Francisco, the famous prizefight announcer, died here today In the Veterans' Home. He was 84 years of age. both a soldier and sailor veteran of the Civil War, and was once wealthy. "Let-'er-Go-Billy," as he was known to fight fans throughout the United States, had been the announcer in virtually every great ring battle on the Pacific Coast in the last 40 years, traveling thousands of milea, all told, to Introduce ring combatants. The last great fight he officiated at was the Jeffries-Johnson fight at Reno, Nev. In his younger days he was suc cessively a boxer and a sporting writer, coming to San Francisco from Boston, his birthplace, in 1855. During a resi dence in Japan he amassed a fortune, which he later lost, and during the last few yearsvhis friends rallied to his sup port. "TV" COBB SIIIXES AT FIRST petrolt Outfielder Slakes Eight As sists on Seml-Pro-Game. In the game played Sunday at New Haven, Conn., between the Boston Red Sox and the semi-professional Colo nials, -Ty" Cobb, the great Detroit out fielder, playing first base for the semi professionals, made eight assists. This beats the major league record of six made by Sherwood Magee, of the Philadelphia National League club, Beptember 4, 1914, in a game against the Braves at Boston. ! The peerless Ty must have been all over the diamond at New Haven yes terday afternoon and if anything hap . pens to Harry Heilmann and Burns, Cobb has shown that he can fill their shoes. However, Hughie Jennings will not be thinking of switching any of his star outfielders to the innerworks next Spring. Faculty Teams to Sleet. CENTRALIA, Wash.. Oct. 16. (Spe cial.)

Gossip of the Gridiron. THE Pacific Northwest furnished two football upsets last week the Ore gon Aggie victory over Washington State and Gonzaga's win from Idaho. Idaho held the Oregon Aggies to a 26-0 count the week previous, so the severe walloping at the hands and feet of the Spokane Catholics was most sur prising. Ganzaga must have a strong squad this Fall. In the Middle WTest the University of Chicago "came back" after its defeat by the diminutive Carleton college of Northfield, Minn:, and handed Indiana a bad lacing. The Indiana followers had looked for better things from "Jumbo" Steihm, the mentor who piloted Nebraska to so many victories. Aside from this one game there were no serious upsets rn the Middle West or East. For the most part the favor ites won. The excellent showing of Doth the Army and Navy elevens must have been gratifying to their adherents. The Navy held Pittsburg to a 20-19 score, while the Army defated Holy Cross 17-0. When the Oregon Aggies and Whit man College meet on November 4 at Corvallis brother may be pitted against Brotner.- Creorge Busch is playing guard at Corvallis and Frank Busch is play ing tackle at Whitman. These two lads served their apprenticeship on Lincoln High under Vincent Borleske. now coach at Whitman. After all the requiems over the sad and torn remnants of the University of Washington squad. Coach Dobie's faltering phenoms came to life Satur day with a bang and defeated the Bremerton Navy boys 62-0. It is no particular feat to lick Bremerton, but 62-0 is e-uite some package to present to Uncle Sam's Navy. Plowden Stott, well-known local at torney, returned Sunday from Pullman, Wash., with a great boost for the Ore gon Aggie football machine. Attorney Stott umpired the game. "Coach Pipal certainly has his men well drilled in fundamentals tackling, catching the ball, kicking and falling on fumbles," said he. "Nearly every fumble was recovered by the Oregon visitors. Thi3 youngster. Conn, is a beautiful drog-kicker." Quite a delegation of Portlanders is expected to go by special train to Eugene, Or., to witness the clash be tween the University of Oregon and the University of Washington on No vember 4. This will be the first time the two elevens have met in two years and it will be quite a drawing card. The week following the Oregon Aggies will Journey to Seattle, Wash, to bat tle Coach Dobie's athletes. Thomas Everett May, assistant coach and graduate-manager of the Oregon Aggies, will arrive in Portland late to night or early tomorrow morning, ac cording to his present plans. He is in work getting ready for the intersec tional match on Multnomah Field oext f1 Saturday afternoon. The present spell of good weather is making him be lieve that there will be more than 10.000 people witness the Oregon Aggie University of Nebraska affair Saturday. Special train service will be scheduled for Saturday to handle the expected crowds from the Upper Willamette Valley. All lines out of Corvallis will run specials in hopes to getting all the students to Portland in time for the first whistle. Coach Dewey has scheduled a game for hi3 Franklin High School proteges for next Saturday afternoon at Everett. Wash., against the high schoolers of that place. Captain Mackenzie and his teammates had planned on being among those present on Multnomah Field the latter part of this week. e More Nebraskans are coming out with the team than first expected. Man ager Reed telegraphed that a section of 200 seats should be set aside for former students and in his message he said that 80 had already signed up to make the Journey to the Pacific Coast in the special with the team and band. Former residents of the Cornhusking state who want further Information relative to the visitors are requested to see J. D. Pomerene at 507 Lewis building or call him at Main 6346. m The Nebraska Special will arrive in Portland 9 o'clock Friday morning. Coach Stewart will take his team im mediately to the Oregon Hotel. The Oregon Aggies are not expected to ar rive in Portland until Saturday morn ing. They will go to the Imperial Hotel. SEASON ALMOST ENDED LOS ANGELES SEEMS TO BE SURE OK TAKING PENNANT. Oakland Statins: Rare of Its Own In Threatentns to Break World's Record of Losing: 130 Gamea. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. Two weeks more and the 1916 race in the Pacific Coast Baseball League will be a mat ter of memory; organized baseball in the United States will take a long rest until March, 191", and if some gro tesque upset does not happen Los An geles will have been hailed as the Class AA champion aggregation In the West. Interest centers in two contests only. Vernon apparently with a safe lead is conceded the dubious honor of runner up, but San Francisco, incumbent, Port land and Salt Lake are staging a tri angular race for third place which probably will remain unsettled until the last games of the season. The other contest about which the fans are chat tering is the consistent race of Del Howard's Oakland players for the un disputed cellar championship. Back in 1904 Portland hung up a seasonal record of 139 games lost. Oakland with 130 defeats now chalked against the club is expected to exceed this figure. Meanwhile managers are keeping their eyes open for new talent and al ready are formulating plans for next year. It is said that while the San Francisco lineup will remain much the same in 1917 the other teams will be made up In large part from new play ers. Wolverton took Holleywood, a young shortstop, from Sacramento, to Salt Lake with the Seals, and said he would have a tryout there. Los Angeles and Portland will cross bats for the last time in the South this week, and Oakland and Vernon are scheduled for seven games in San Francisco and Oak land. Vernon is six and a half games behind Los Angeles, but the champion ship probably will not he clinched until the last week of play when Vernon and the league leaders close the season at Los Angeles. Jack Ryan, of Los Angeles, continues to lead the pitchers of the league, hay ing gained one game during the series with Oakland and increasing his rec ord of 27 games won. nine lost, and his percentage to .750. Mitchell, of Vernon, is in second place, with .684, and Hogg, of the Angels, is third, with .667. In the 36 games in which he has pitched Ryan has been held responsible for only 19 runs.

Today's Games. At Isom Angeles Los Angeles vs. Portland. At San Francisco Oakland vs. Salt Lake. At Salt Lake San Francisco vs. Salt Lake. Los Angeles' clutch on the 1916 pen nant of the Pacific Coast League was almost hammerlocked last week when the Chancemeti won seven straight from Oakland, while the Vernons were losing: the series to San Franclsoo, three games to four. A margin of six and one-half full fames now separates the Angels and Tig-ers. and. with only two weeks to go, this lead should be sufficient to win. This week Los Angreles entertains the Portland club, while Vernon will have its chance at the Oaks. The two con tenders are scheduled to tangle on the following and deciding; series of the year. Unless the Beavers make a clean sweep of the series with the Angels a most remote possibility the Angels should enter the final series at least two or three games to the good. It will be the first pennant for Los Angeles since 1908 eight years and will give the Cafeteria City its fifth since the organization of the Coast League in 1903. Los Angeles won the first pennant in 1903, won the second half and the playoff with Tacoma in 1905; copped the flag again in 1907 and repeated in 1908. The Angels' victory this Fall will be popular around the circuit, due prin cipally to the unpopularity of the run ner up. Vernon. Ham Patterson, man ager of the Tigers, hasn't the faculty of getting along with the fans or any body else and a great deal of the back ing of the old Hogan aggregations of bygone days has swapped horses and gone to other teams. e Billy Speas. former Beaver, and now on the payroll of the San Francisco Seals, returned. to Portland yesterday for the W Inter. Speas injured his leg a fortnight ago during the Oakland se ries and the club physicians advised against further play this Fall. .Conse quently,. Harry Wolverton called him into the office, wrote out a check for his salary to the close of the season and told him to go home. Speas went like a Kansas twister after leaving Portland. His batting average with the Seals was something like .340. He expects to be with the club again next year. Determined to give the Angels the best resistance possible. Walter Mc Credie summoned Kenneth Williams to his assistance and the big outfielder left for the South Sunday night. Wil liams was left here for repairs when the club Journeyed to Salt Lake. e Judge McCredie made his first move toward securing new talent for bis 1917 ball club yesterday when he signed a new first sacker. A. M. Smea ton. Smeaton hails from Medicine Hat, Can., and stands about 6 feet 2 inche tall. PORTLAND TRAP SHOTS "WIN Everdlng, Strowger and O'Brien Take Honors at Palouse Events. PALOI'SE. Wash., Oct. 16. (Special.) The Portland Gun Club team, con sisting of H. R. Everding. A. W. Strow ger and P. H. O'Brien, won the three man team shoot at Palouse tourna ment today, each man scoring 23 out of 25 targets. -It was the most Inter esting feature of the tournament, Spo kane's crack team being considered un beatable. The Portland shooters re ceived more handicap today and while the Spokane men were well up with the handicap winners, they had to be content with one out of the three hon ors. The Potlatch trophy was won by Dr. Couplin ,of Palouse, with a perfect score. N. N. Ragan. of Albion, Wash., won the Garfield . trophy with 24 out of 25. "Weather conditions were per fect and the tournament was admir ably conducted. O'lNEILIi IX EASTERN LEAGUE Hugli Duffy Says Portland. , Me., Team Is for Sale. WORCESTER, Mass.. Oct. 16. Daniel O'Neill, of Hartford, Conn., was elected president and secretary of the Eastern Baseball League at a meeting in this city today, succeeding "Tim" Furnane as president. Hugh Duffy, owner of the Portland (Me.) club, announced that his fran chise was for sale. . The Sportlight. .By Grantland Itiee. What It Takes. WE discovered another reason this week why a certain ballplayer is generally recognized as the greatest that ever lived especially upon attack. Some one had Just asked him why he forgot to look after a certain matter during the Summer. "For this reason," he said. "From April 1 to the end of the season the only thing I think of is baseball. I know you fellows figure that we only give about two hours a day to the game. But a good many of us give a whole lot more. Even an eight-hour working day isn't enough to care for all the time I need, as I begin to think baseball when I get up and I am still on the Job until I hit the hay." How About Scott t No great amount of space was wasted before this series started explaining the abiding value of Everett Scott. He was mentioned in the dispatches and that is about all. But long before the fourth game had been played the Red Sox youngster was being rated with the best in the game. Maranville nor Peckinpaugh. recognized as two of the greatest lnfleldera, could have covered more ground. Case of Daffy Lewis. "Why isn't Duffy Lewis rated as a Speaker or a Cobb?" queries a fan who limits most of his baseball to world series play. Duffy is a queer bird in the profesh. He has about everything Speaker or Cobb have except their am bition. Blessed with vast quantities of nerve, he hasn't a rupple in his nervous I '.A system. He is merely content to drifll along until some big occasion arises. But ask any member of the Tiger or w nite Sox team how Duffy looks in an important series. If Duffy had the vital spark aflame in his manly breast he would be only a half stride below Ty or Tris. He that sayeth. T should have been four strokes better," knoweth deep in his heart that he might have also been five strokes worse. While he that sayeth, "Lo. I am a roten putter," usually maketh his boast come true. Harvard, with Cornell, Princeton and Tale coming after the Tufts game, is Just as glad as pot that Colonel Haugh ton isn't bothered Just at present count ing bis share of the world aeries kale. WILLIAM GOLDSIAX RETURNS Portland Fan Sees One World's Se ries Game on Eastern Trip.

While In the KMt he wit nessed several of the biir leasrue base ball Karnes and was present at the first world's series contest when Boston won from Brooklyn 6 to 6. "It was a good game from a spec tators' standpoint." said Bill yester day, "but I saw several other games Just as good. I saw the last four games of the 28 consecutive wins of the New York Giants. Several times in the American League gamea I sat on the bench with Fielder Jones and his St. Louis Browns. Bobby Groom twirled one of the matches, and It was some affair."
