PLAY INTERESTING
So-Cal!ed World Series Date
as Far Back as. 1884 in'
Big League Baseball.
1914 HAD SHORTEST SERIES
Vans Will Remember That Year
When Boston Nationals Defeat
ed Philadelphia Americans In
Foar Straight Contests.
NEW YORK. Sept. 27. In view of the
Iceen intersectional interest which will
surround the coming: world series be
tween the New York Nationals and the
Chicago Americans the records of the
inter-league contests of the past as
sume unusual prominence. Although
so-called ". Id series were played as
far back as 1SS4. it was not until 1905
that the National Commission took
charge of and promulgated rules for
the annual Autumn climax of the base
ball season.
Since that year the winning: clubs in
the American and National Leagues
have met each October to decide, in a
series of the best four games out of
seven, which team should be entitled
to the championship honors of the pro-f-sslonal
baseball world for the ensu
ing 12 months. Of the past 12 series,
which are now part -f diamond history,
the American League standard-bearing
cl-ibs have won seven and their Na
tional league rivals five.
During these series 66 games have
been played, giving an average of five
find a half games per series, including
tie contests, t which there have been
two. In gam' 3 won, the American
League leads with S3 to the Nationals,
31, while of the 445 runs scored the Na
tional League clubs have accounted for
223 to the Americans' 222. To Phila
delphia falls the hor.or of being repre
sented in more series by pennant-win-ring:
club3 than any other city on
either major league circuit. Out of the
past 12 inter-league contests Philadel
phia has participated six times, with
Chicago next with five clubs, includ
ing the series of 1905. when the two
Chicago teams fought out the question
of supremacy between themselves,
each h. ving won the pennant in their
respective leagues. Boston and New
York are tied with four each, while
Jetroit comes next with three and
Pittsburg and Brooklyn complete the
list with one apiece.
The shortest series of the 12 was that
of 1914, when the Boston Nationals de
feated the Philadelphia Americans in
four straight games. The Chicago Na
t mala in 1907 also won four straight
from the Detroit Americans, but this
run was preceded by a tie game with
the score standing 3 to 3 when dark
ness halted the play. The longest
series was -hat of 1912, in which eight
Fames were played with the Boston
Americans winning four and the New
York Nat. ..als three with one tie
same thrown in for good measure.
A complete record of the preceding
J 2 series, including the score of each
of the 66 games, willbe found in the
accompanying tabulations.

6TOVAT.Ii PICKS SOX TO WIN
Chicago Team Is Bunch of Fighters,
Says Vernon Manager.
Manager tSovall. of the Vernon base
tall club, is a booster for Chicago in
the coming world series battle. The
Tiger manager ought to know whereof
he speaks, because he mingled under
the big tent for a good many years.
"I like the Sox for a number of rea
sons," said btovall during a lull in
yesterday's game. "I like them because
they are a bunch of fighters and
Rowland has them on edge. I have
heard people say they will 'blow' when
they get into this mixap with the
Giants, but don't you think it. They
have played a Fall series with the
Chicago Cubs every year and have al
ways managed to beat them, and the
crowds they played to were as large
as some in the world series. That
point alone will give them confidence.
There are a number of reasons why
I like them. I hope they win."
What the other Vernon ballplayers
think:
Hovlik I like the White Sox. They
are a cinch.
Vaughn I'll raise my ante on the
Giants. Can't beat them.
Meusel iiox all the way.
Knodgrass (formerly with the Giants
and in a couple of world series) I like
McGraw's men. They ought to romp
home easy.
loore I like the Giants.
Simon The White Sox ought to
breeze in.
Slagle If the Sox lose I'll have to
Winter on the Coast.
Callahan They say I have a name
sake out In this town whose first name
is Francis and he picks the Giants.
Hurrah for Francis!
Gallowaj- The New York Giants are
a pipe. I'm already down on their
chances to cop.
Doane Being a former American
Leaguer, I rise to shout "White Sox."
Cook Down in San Ant aw, put
me down for the White Sox.
Pete Daley I'm for the Sox.
Fromme (formerly pitcher for the
Giants) New Y'ork. .
Mitchell If the Sox don't wtn I want I
you to introduce me to a good pawn
broker. Quinn White Sox.
Frank McUettigan, of the Orpheum
Theater YY'hlte Sox.
Ed .Shearer It looks like an even
break to me.
C. L. Caldwell, of TJnion. Or. I don't
agree with all those city folko a pickin'
the White Sox. I'm for the Giants.
Will Block No preference, thanks.
Nick Pierong, of the Strand Theater
Chicago White Sox.
Jack curry Can't see anything to It
but the Sox.
Kred Bauer Sox.
Pete Grant If the salmon run holds
up and the White Sox win I'll most
likely visit with some of the native
at San Francisco after the series is
over. I Just came from the East and
I'm for the Sox.
Jack Grant Pete 'and I are fifty
fifty, so you know where I stand.
Jack Methot I worked in the Polo
Grounds once, so I'm for the Giants.
Les Westhrook I traveled between
Cleveland and New York for six years
and know all the bunch on the New
York team, so I'm for the Giants.
TICKET SCALPEKS TO SUFFER
Prosecution oa Charges of Conspir
acy to Be Attempted.
CHICAGO, Sept. 27. Prosecution of
scalpers of world's series tickets on
charges of conspiracy to extort prob
ably will be attempted by State's At
torney Hoyne, it was said tonight,
after he held a conference with Harry
Grabiner, secretary pf the Chicago club
of the American League.
Grabiner told the state's attorney
that despite . every precaution the
speculators had advertised that they
would have tickets and were already
taking orders. They demand premiums
of more than 200 per cent for reserved
seats. They refuse to take orders for
single seats and require deposits for
the full series of three games. Pros
pective purchasers were told their
money would be refunded if they re
turned the unused parts of the tickets
before the game for, which they are
Issued.
Charles A. Comiskey, president of the
Chicago club, announced that not more
than one ticket of the 13.000 pavilion
and bleacher seats would bo sold to
any person and that the purchaser
must go into the park as soon as he
had purchased it thus precluding the
possibility of scalpers having agents in
line,- These tickets, to be placed on
sale on the date of the game, have a
face value of 50 cents and $1.
Chief of Police Schuettler said that
he would take "necessary precautions"
to prevent scalping at the ball park.
Detectives and uniformed police will
be assigned to watch for violations.

TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 27. (Special.)
Five of the best bouts nstic fans of
Tacoma would ever want to witness on
one card were presented tonight at the
Eagles' smoker, but there was one dis
appointment to mar the occasion. It
happened in the last affair, which fea
tured Muff Bronson, of Portland, and
Chet Neff, of Seattle. The three judges
galled the fight a draw, but if ever a
boy earned the title of conqueror, it
was Bronson. What was lacking in
the first two rounds was thrown into
the last four.
Neff took one on the right eye in the
third which opened a big gash, and
from then on blood flow every time
Muff connected.
Weldon "Toughey" Wint, also of
Portland, foucht a draw with Joe Har
rahan. of Seattle, in the first bout of
the double main event. -Wing used the
best ring generalship and connected
with the most telling effect, but when
promoter George Shanklin announced
a draw it was met with hearty approval,
for both youngsters certainly showed
the "birds" a real good time.'
Frankie Sanders has fought many
times in Portland, but he never ex
hibited the stun he put into his engage
ment with Eddie Quinn. heralded as
the pride of Tacoma. It is hard telling
what caused Sanders" sensational show
ing, which earned him a draw and al
most the docision, but it might have
been the result of a triple "shot" of
typhoid or the smallpox vaccination
which he received a few days ago at
Camp Lewis. Frankie is a soldier for
Uncle Sam and he is training. Not once
did he "pull" that old bouncing bunk
so common to him while in Portland.
Two other draws were put on and
promoter George Shanklln deserves all
the credit for putting on such evenly
matched contests for the most part. .
Ray Whitman, of Tacoma, and Vince
Moore, of Los Angeles, opened the pro
gramme with a draw while Steue Rey
nolds, of Seattle, substituting for "Bat
tling" Bunker and Ray Cunningham,
of Montana, came through with the
next draw. Manager Flanagan and his
protege. Muff Bronson, left on the mid
night train for Portland, but Wing de
cided that he wanted to visit some of
his old friends at Camp Lewis, includ
ing Billy Nelson, Leo Cross, Earl Con
ners, Eddie Harris and Harry Casey.
He will return Saturday.
About 1800 persons witnessed the
bouts tonight.
LEONARD KNOCKS OUT DORSEY
Brooklyn Negro Goes Down for
Count In Second Round.
BUFFALO,. N. Y., Sept. 27. Benny
Leonard, of New York, lightweight
champion, knocked out Eddie Dorsey,
negro, of Brooklyn, in the second round
of their 10-round match here tonight.
Dorsey weighed 133 pounds, Leonard
133 pounds.
The fighting was fast in both rounds.
The knockout came when Leonard,
after Dorsey had put over a stinging
right to the jaw, launched rights and
lefts which soon had the negro fighter
down.

Forty-one young men from Hollister, Cal., called by the draft to Camp

them by the Sheriff at Hollister. The d og was a unique mascot and all the
boys regarded him as an omen of certain good luck for the Hollister con

Sunday night. The dog, in charge of F. J. Mandlan. son of Mr. and Mrs.
Handlan, 545 Borthwick street, Portland, was detrained here and spent yes
terday in the city. Mrs. Handlan is certain the mascot will prove a
lucky one. "I never saw a happier bunch of boys in my life," she said,

PAY RISE IS FAVORED
Manual Training Teachers'
Request Recommended.
SATURDAY CLASSES TO GO
School Directors Also Recommend
Long List of Instructors Who
"U'ill Teach at Night Schools
to Start October 1.
School Directors who met last night
as members ot finance and education
affairs, committees took considerable
time considering requests for wage in
creases. Manual training teachers appeared
before them and conferred as to a new
wage schedule whereby, the maximum
will be advanced from J1200 to $1400 a
year. The $200 salary rise is similar
to tnat granted grade teachers in the
new schedule and the new scale for
manual training teachers was recom
mended. The Board will pass finally
upon it at an early meeting.
Saturday C'lansea to Go.
It was decided formerly by the Board
that the new rate would be allowed,
but manual training teachers would be
required to teach Saturday morning
classes. Last nig-ht it was decided to
recommend the elimination of Saturday
morning' classes.
Spanish teachers in the high schools
also clamor for sala.-y increases!. Roy
H. Gearhart: high school Spanish
teacher, appeared before the Directors
last night and told of his training for
the work and his ability to teach Span
ish as an expert. He asked that he be
made head of the department, which
promotion would carry with it a salary
increase.
The Directors declined to act at once
and said the request must follow the
usual course and be put tip W the Board
later. This was not pleasing to Mr
Gearhart, who has an offer from a
Louisiana university and he intimated
he would like to leave the Portland
schools.
N Recommendations Are Made.
Teachers for the nisrht schools to
