"While Judge McCredie was busy try ing to figure out what his batting average with a local bank would be If it should rain this afternoon at the Vaughn Street Park, thereby causing another postponement, and "Red" Kille fer was digging into Webster's vest pocket dictionary, trying to find words that would convey his opinion of the weather here, the Portland and Los Angeles ball players ate three square meals, and local baseball fans bitter ly condemned Jupiter Pluvius for hav ing spoiled all chance of a game yes terday. Rain started to fall late Wednesday and yesterday the field was a quagmire of mud and water. There was never a question about a game being started and the railway officials received an other setback in their endeavor to raise enough of money to give their em ployes an advance in Ralarv whAn thuir could nnf haul th Iqt-o-o -v. i w O " w TT UIUU was sure to have been present had th ere been a game. With salary due his men today and only one game played this week. Judge McCredie expressed himself gloomily at the prospect. The day off was en Joyed by most of the local ballplayers, who were busy around home. Some of the Los Angeles players took a fishing trip on the river as the guests of a local sportsman. Charlie Hogg, Otis Crandall and a few more An gelenos, with enough fishing tackle to hook a boatload of steelheads, paddled down to the mouth of the Willamette and returned last night with a big catch of fish. Perhaps the most Important piece of news from baseball headquarters yes terday was the announcement that Denny Wilie would be back In the game about next Tuesday, when the Beavers wll! battle Del Howard and his Oaks. Wille has been giving his ankle a rest and is able to don a uniform at this time, but Manager McCredie cautioned him against get ting into the game too soon and suf fering a setback. With Wille back in the game Lee will be benched until such time as his services are needed. The ex-Marshall-town lad broke into the local calcium in great style with his hitting in Thursday's game and he was con ceded to be a valuable acquisition to the local forces. Tom Seaton, ex-Beaver and more recently of the big show, will work in one of the double-headers today pro vided, of course, that the rain stops in time to let the sun lry the diamond so games are possible. Seaton passed yesterday In Tacoma visiting relatives. Seaton is the only one of the famous Portland hurling squad of 1911 who is drawing pay in the Pacific Coast League. With Vean Gregg. Gene Krapp, Ben Henderson and Bill Steen, Seaton formed one of the greatest pitching staffs that ever drew pay fr&m a minor league club and the an nouncement that he will work in one of today's double-headers will do doubt be the magnet for a large attendance. The first game will be called at 1:30 o'clock. Gardner and Dalley will work today for the Beavers. They will be opposed by Hogg and Seaton for the Angels. With yesterday's layoff the boys ought to have a world of "pep" and the fans should be treated to some real ball playing. Carl Mays hurled a masterful game far the Red Sox against the New York V&nkees yesterday. The ex-Portland Colt has been more than doing his share of the pitching for the Red Sox and is among the five best pitchers in Ban Johnson's league.

I D1ETZ TO REBUILD PULLMAN ELEVEN With Veterans in Service of Nation, Coach Faces . Difficult Problem. "LONESTAR" IS HOPEFUL Opinion Expressed That Despite War Freshmen Should Not Be Per mitted to Play in Inter collegiate Contests. With his somber skin tanned to a reddish hue from a Summer spent In the balmy climate of Southern Cali fornia, William H. ("Lonestar") Diets, famous coach of -the Washington State ATHLETE AND HIS BRIDE. College football team, passed yesterday in Portland, visiting friends and inquir ing what prospects the Oregon colleges had lined up In the way of material for the coming season. Dietz has been working for the Amer ican Film Company at Santa Barbara. Cal., and has given football and all its worries the icy stare during his stay in the south. Fred Bohler, director of athletics at the Washington State In stitution, telegraphed Dletz that he ought to be on the job early to look over the material he will have to mould Into an aggregation to represent the Pullman school in a befitting manner. Tun to Be Rebuilt. At the Multnomah Hotel yesterday, Dietz was reluctant to discuss football at all. After considerable cross-examining he did vouchsafe the information that he would practically have to re build his team this year. "When Brown Joined Uncle Sam's forces he left my team In a serious predicament, because I figured on build ing my squad, around him," said Dietz. "Brown was a wonderful quarterback and, while I did not want to see him go. It was a commendable act. We have lost a number of our best players. In fact, it looks like we must build an entire new team. But I guess, at "that. I will not be any worse otl than the rest of the schools In the con ference. "I will attend the Northwest Confer ence meeting in Spokane this month, but I cannot say at this time what action we will take regarding the freshman rule. It will depend entirely upon what the student body recom mends as to how we shall vote regard ing this Important matter. I do not be lieve we should allow the freshman to play In intercollegiate games, al though I will not suffer, no matter what way it is decided. Our institu tion at Pullman has nowhere near the enrollment as has the University of Washington, but we are willing to take our chances with the material we have who are eligible under the present con ference ruling." Pullman Willing to Play. With regard to the probable selec tion of Washington State College to represent the West against some East ern eleven on New Year's day at Pasa dena during the Tournament of Roses. Dietz did not hesitate to say that if they were invited to play in this classic, he would see that the finances of his school were enriched equally with the team that comes out from the East. "If they can pay those Eastern elevens S8000 or some such amount like they did to Pennsylvania and expect us to go down there for the glory of upholding the Western gridiron honors they are badly mistaken," said Dietz "It is the schools In the West which need the money for their athletic fund much more than a school like Penn sylvania that is situated in a big metropolis like Philadelphia. "Just think what a wonderful thing it would be for the University of Ore gon or the Oregon Aggies to be en riched by about S2500 or S3000. We are in the same boat, and now that the West has proved on two different oc casions that it has teams which equal the best the Atlantic Coast can send out, if not better, let the people- who make all the money at Pasadena give the Western team a little more than a nice hotel, plenty to eat and automo biles in which Ui ride. At the Pacific Coast conference meeting I am going to ask that whatever team is selected to play, to demand an equal share of whatever amount is paid to the East ern team. The money should go to the athletic fund of whatever institution is asked to uphold Western honors." JACK BRITTON TAKES BOUT Marty Cross, of New Tork, Outpoint ed in All Ten Rounds. NEW YORK, Sept. 14 Jack Britton. of Chicago, outpointed Marty Cross, of New York, in every round of a 10 round bout here tonight. Each weighed 147 pounds.

CROPS IN NORTH FAILURE Farmers Along Canadian Border Said to Face Hardships. MMINNVTLLE. Or.. Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) J. G. Hefty, a local engineer who is in the employ of the Federal Government engaged In locating the international boundary line between Montana and North Dakota and the British possessions, has written to a friend here saying that "If you Yam hill farmers could see the failure in crops for 200 miles along this north ern border thin season you would thank the Lord for your 'half crop" in old Yamhill and do mighty little complain ing." Mr. Hefty says there is not enough for next year's seed, and no feed but the dried-up prairie grass. Wild prai rie hay is now $30 a ton and no oats are to be had.
