In one of the prettiest pitching duels seen on the Vaughn street grounds in many season. Portland and Salt Lake yesterday battled 14 innings to a tie, Bcore 3 to 3. The sun had disappeared behind 'the hills long before Umpire Kd Kinney called a truce in the hostilities on ac count of darkness, but, in the vain hope that a decisive blow might be struck by either team in their wonderful fight for a right to remain in the first di vision, Finney held off calling the game until the last minute. Byron Houck and "Chubby" Dubuc were the-opposing hurlers and each held their opponents to 10 scattered hits. Two hits were all either team could an nex in any one inning during the con test. Williams Error looses Victory. The Beavers held the lead down the main stretch until the ninth inning. With the score 3 to 2 in favor of the JIackmen, the Bees sauntered to the plate with 'a desire to annihilate every offering that Houck dished up to them. Ryan, the first man up, walked, and went to second on Crandall's sacrifice to Griggs. Orr laced one over second that should have been a single, but "Williams came tearing in on it and tried to make one of those grandstand one-hand scoops and the ball rolled to the fence for three bases, allowing Ryan to score the tieing run. If Will iams had played the ball right the chances are he would have held Ryan, a slow man, at third, or would easily have thrown him out at the plate. As it was, this run tied the score and the teams battled until' Finney called the game at the end of the 14th. There were numerous spectacular plays and catches that bordered .on sensationalism. The Beavers scored their three runs In the second and third inning's.. After that they failed to fathom the twisters that Dubuc offered, although they came dangerously near scoring on a. number of occasions. After Rodgers fouled out in the sec ond. Siglin tripled to right center and scored when Fisher singled to -the board -walk on the right field fence. Bfinrri Score In Third. The Mackmen came right back in the third canto after Farmer retired, , Hath to Sheely, and made two runs. Hollocher doubled down the first-base line and scored on Wilie's single be tween first and second, Wilie taking third when Quinlan let the ball roll between his legs. Wilie scored from third on a. sacrifice fly to right field. Harry Hannah started the scoring for the Bees in the third frame, when he bounced one against the left field fence for-a. double and went to third on Dubuc' s out. Hollocher to Orlggs. Tobin pickled one down between first and second that eluded the Beavers and Hannah scored. Rath was issued a base on balls in the sixth inning and went to third on ' tiheeley's single to right. Buddy Ryan clicked one to center for a base hit and Rath scored. Crandall sacrificed, tslglin to Rodgers, who covered first, Hheeley taking third and Ryan second on the play. Orr grounded to Rodgers, who threw to Fisher, forcing Sheeley at the plate. On an attempted double steal Ryan was caught flat-footed be tween third and home. Fisher to Houck to Fi.sher. Yesterday's tie game necessitates a ' double-header Saturday afternoon starting at 1:30 o'clock. The Score: Salt Lake 1 Portland B R IT O Ai BRHOA Tobin, m..

PERCENTAGE TOTALS .294 Mrs. Moy Says That She Is Not Enthusiastic About Husband's Face Being Mussed Up, but Gusscs It's All Right. John' Burdick. who looks after the business interests of Charley Moy. ban tamweight champion of the Pacific Coast, is quite a statistician. After commenting on the hitting powers of a number of the greatest boxers the world has known, he started out to figure their various hitting percent ages and finished with. Moy'. Bur-dick's- figures show. that the little Cali fornia battler is no slouch when it comes to stopping his opponents, and more than that, all but two of Charley's bouts have been four-round bouts, whilo most of the other fighters in the list have had anywhere from. four to 40 rounds to stop their man-.' It is Moy's greatest ambition to meet Pete Herman, in- a bout for the ban tamweight championship of the world. He also would like to get a crack at Kid Williams, and Johnny Ertle. The great war may deprive him of -ever boxing Herman, or for some time at least, as the world's- champion was drafted and will have to fight the Kaiser for some time.' .Mrs.-Mot Takes Spouse's Word. Moy is just 21 years old and has been married) for three or four months. Mrs. Moy say 'she is not strongly in favor or Charley battling and getting his features all mussed up. but "guesses that It is-all right as, long as Charley says lt"l." He -will meet either Jimmy Dundee or Billy Mascott at the Pacific Athletic Club - show October 16, defending his title." -."

Charley Moy will meet Jimmy Dundee, of Oak land, and Jack Wagner will take on Roscoe"- Taylor. ' Charley Givens only wanted a deed to the Public Auditorium, part of the City Park and. a few miles of water front property to meet Weldon Wing, so Evans had to call the bout off and will put on another bout- instead. Jimmy Dun-dee ' telegraphed from Oakland yesterday and asked the Box ing Commission- and, the' Portland pro moters to give him a match with Moy. Dundee is a fast, clever boy and holds a decision over Charley, before the latter won the championship. SENATORS DEFEAT RED SOX Shaw Captures Fifteenth Game and - Wins Bonus of $500. BOSTON. Oct. 4.

The feature of the game was two field goals, plays seldom successfully pulled off in interscolastic football, both kicked by Jacobberger, of Columbia. End runs were what spelled Com merce's defeat. The Financiers' line, which continually gave way in the game with Franklin last week, had im proved 100 per cent, and early in the game Columbia gave up hope of win ning by straight plunging, and so start ed a series of end runs. With excellent interference, these plays netted them four touchdowns, one in each quarter. The most spectacular one was made in the second quarter, when Hodler, in tercepting a pass, successful! skirted Commerce's right end and. after a 70 yard dash, registered a touchdown. Pep pery little Frank Glass, substituting for Tucker in the final frame, pulled off another end run on his own hook and scored. Two Rivals Pant Well. Probably the most interesting point of the game is the fact that Henry Wagner, of Commerce, and Jacobberger, of Columbia, have proved themselves to be the best punters in the entire league. Every team has now shown what it can do on the field, and the high honors for long punts lies between these two lads. Jacobberger's two field goals netted his side six points. Wagner pulled off a splendid play later in the game. He punted 37 yards, then sped down the field and tackled the man receiving the punt before Columbia was able to return It. Triple passes was the order of the day. Columbia gained 25 yards on a neat play of this nature, Allen to Jacob berger to Driscoll. Commerce made yardage on a play which started with a fake place kick and ended with an aerial pass. Spracken. center, passed the ball back to H. Wagner, and Colum bia, thinking Wagner intended to kick, backed up. Wagner, instead of punt ing, passed the ball' to Morris Rogoway, who carried it forward, without being blocked, for a good bit of yardage. Crowd Is Small. Jacobberger, Allen, Hodler and Tuck er starred for Columbia and H. Wagner and Rogoway made the brilliant plays for Commerce. Kroll, Masterson and August Wagner played a" good defensive game. . A lonesome-looking aggregation of about 100 spectators sat in the great stands. Each school turned out about an even number. Much rooting enliv ened the game.

WILLAMETTE MEN FEW COACH MATHEWS HAS GLOOMY FOOTBALL OUTLOOK. Ont of 15 Men Who Turn Out for : Practice, Only One Is Ex perienced in Game. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem. Or.,' Oct. 4. (Special.) After having his football candidates . out. for two nights' practice. -Coach Mathews de clared that the prospects for a varsity eleven were decidedly poor. Practice will be continued, but whether or not a new schedule will be carried out will not be decided for a while. Fifteen men turned out for the first night's practice. Of these only one had any football experience, this being Halfback Dimick, who won his letter last year. The rest of the squad are green and light, only ithree or four weighing more than 150 pounds. Coach Mathews is endeavoring to In terest every man in school In the grid Iron game, and if he succeeds in get ting the majority of them out in a suit a fair team might be developed by the latter part of the season. Bra zier Small, a former letter man. Is ex pected to return this week, and an ef fort Is being made to get a couple of other men to return. If these efforts are . successful the prospects will brighten. The men who were out for the first night's practice are Dimick. Olson, Rarry, Sparks, .Tasker, Michaels. H. Spies, A. Spies. Legge, Bassler. Curtis, Moore, Hickman, Mclntire, Medler and Bowers. Wrestler Caddock in Army. ATLANTIC, Iowa, Oct. 4.

CAPTAIN" NEWMAN TO RETURN Football Outlook at. Corvallis Is Somewhat Brighter. OREGOX AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGE, Corvallis, Oct. 4. (Special.) Word was received today from "Dark Horse" Newman that he would leave Camp Lewis and would arrtve in Corvallis on Sunday, bringing Howard Ray with him. Coach Pipal was unable to be on the field today and the football work was under the supervision of ex-Captain Bissett. Brlttan. a sophomore, and Holmes, both men new in football, re ported for practice. Holmes was dis covered through inter-fraternity foot ball last year, too late in the season to work with the college eleven. He is considered a promising candidate for the back field. Coach Pipal is still gloomy over the outlook and was only slightly- cheered by the news from Captain Newman. NOTES OF THE GAME. The street lights were ready to be turned on when the fans piled out of the Vaughn stieet 'grounds after yesterday's extra inn ing game. The hard-working married men who had to watt for the "eats" until "wifle dear" arrived home will be mighty glad when the ball season ends Sunday. Yesterday's game was remarkable, in that rot a change was made In the lineup of eith er team until the last half of the four teenth, when Lee ran for Griggs. In the ninth Inning, with two men down, the Beaver fana looked for a possible rally after Dubuc walked Williams, but the for mer Notre Dame and Detroit star caufrht Williams sound asleep off first base with a quick throw to Shceley. 9 It looked blue for the Beavers In the four teenth. With Orr perched on third and Qulnlnn on second and two men gone, Dubuc cjme to bat. He took "three healthies" and walked to the bench. If ho had connected with the ball it would have "spilled the beans" for McCredie. He lined out a double In the tenth inning. It will be a long time before the fans have another chance to watch a game as In teresting and spectacular as that of yester day. It was a. game that had the fans guessing throughout. Tomorrow's double-header will start at 1:30 o'clock. With double-headers Satur day and Sunday the fans will be treated to what ought to be four real games of fare well baseball.. McCredie planned on using Houck In one of Sunday's double-headers, but yesterday's extra inning battle will most likely put a crimp in the Beaver manager's plans. Morris-Bonds Fight "Frost." MONTREAL, Ont., Oct. 4. Local fight fans were, disgusted at the bout last night between Carl Morris, of Okla homa, and Joe Bonds, of Tacoma. Wash. In the third round Bonds' seconds threw the sponge .into the ring, though the fight up to that stage had been tame. It was to have been a ten-round bout. The men are heavyweights. Billiardist Taberskl Wins Match. NEW YORK, Oct. 4. Frank Taber skl. of Schenectady, pocket billiard champion, defeated Joseph Concannon, of New York, challenger for the title, 450 to 392. in a three-block series of games which ended last night. FUR SEAL HERD ESTIMATED Pup Census Incomplete Because of Harem Masters. OREGONIAN NEWcS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 27. An official estimate of the Alaska fur seal herd has just been received by the Bureau of Fish erics from St. Paul Island. A statement issued by the Department of Commerce, giving these prliminary figurs, says: The figures are purely tentative and sub ject to considerable revision later, inasmuch as certain long computations are necessary before final figures can be announced.- Klght rookeries gave 37.420 live pups and 1028 dead pups. Three rookeries on St. George Island gave 2S19 live pups and 41 dead pups. In these rookeries the average harem was 23.02 cows, which average applied to all rookeries shows 123.712 breeding rows and the same number of pups. The rookery bulls numbered 7.133. yearings 76.03G. females 2 years old 26.1'IC, bachelors 2 to O years old 92.730. idle bulls e-707. an approximate total of 463,374. Great difficulty was ex perienced in making the pup count, owing to the continued presence of the harem masters, and the pup census could not be entirely completed for this reason. The steamer Roosevelt brought from the Pribilof Islands to Seattle during August b full cargo of the islands' products. In the cargo were 4S82 salted seal skins, of which 2R23 were from St. Paul Island and 2050 from St. George. These from the former were shipped in casks, while those from the latter were carried in bulk, covered with salt, and came through in good condition. Last Winter's take of fox skins was also on board the Roosevelt. The shipment con sisted of 17 fox skins (130 blue. 37 white! from St. Paul and 41 skins 417 blue and two white) from St. George, a total of 606 skins. There were brought down miscellaneous seal products as follows: Twenty-five casks of seal blubber, weighing 7374 pounds gross, to be used in the dressing of sealskins; about 3300 salted seal gullets, from which a light leather of fine texture can be made, and a sample shipment of 32,170 pounds of seal bones. CORONERS GO; CITY SAVES Budget for Manhattan Medical Ex aminer Is $10,000 Less. NEW YORK. Sept. 26. Next year's budget for the first time will provide funds for the maintenance of the office of Chief Municipal Examiner in the five boroughs, taking the places of the Coroners, whose office was abolished by an act of the Legislature of 1915. The new law goes into effect January 1 next. The passing of the office of Coroner removes one of the oldest titles in the civil list. Next to the office of Sheriff it is the most ancient. The Coroner was the only official who could arrest a Sheriff. For years efforts were made to abolish the office, but always met with such opposition that action was de feated, mainly for sentimental reasons. There are four Coroners in Manhat tan, two in Brooklyn, two in the Bronx, two In Queens and one in Richmond. They will be supplanted by a chief medical examiner in each borough. In Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn the Coroners received $6000 a year, and in Queens and Richmond $4000. Each Coroner had a personal clerk at $1500. For Manhattan, officials esti mate that $49,500 will be needed for the coming year $10,000 less than was allowed for this year. The chief medi cal examiner is to receive $7500 a year, his deputy $4500. a secretary $3000 and two stenographers and typewriters $1200 each. Fine "Character." Exchange. Once the master of a steamer, while loading at a Scotch port, took on two hands one' without a. written "char acter" and another with an abundance of documentary evidence as to his hon esty and uprightness. They had not been long at sea when they encoun tered rough weather, and the man with the written recommendations. while crossing the deck with a bucket in his hand, was swept overboard. The other hand saw what had happened- and sought out the captain. "Do you re member the man from Dundee," he asked, "that you engaged wi' the fine character?" "Yes," said the captain. "What of it?" "Weel, he's run awa' wl' your bucket." - China Pheasant Shooting Selby's Black We Are Headquarters for all kinds of equipment for hunters in Guns, Outing Clothing, Leggings, Boots and Shoes, Dog Collars, Dog Chains, etc., etc. We Issue Hunting Licenses Honeyman Hardware Company FOURTH AT ALDER Portland's Largest Sporting Goods Store SCALPERS LOSE OUT Scarcity of Tickets Sends Up Box Seats to $75.

With fair weather promised for the opening game of the world's series on Saturday between the New York Nationals and the Chicago Americans and the ticket scalpers ap parently routed, the invaders romped through a practice game with the Chi cago Na-tionals this afternoon, the Cubs winning. 9 to 5. The season being over, nobody paid any attention to the score, but much to the batting. The attend ance was small, but this was no- cri terion of the interest felt in the big series. It is intense. The recent bold announcement of those who, as brokers, work in between the box office and the ultimate con sumer that they would have plenty of tickets for all at ultra-profiteering prices went into eclipse during the day, but their prices soared. Seats Bring Big Prices. The brokers paid back thousands of dollars in deposits and it was learned that none of them had more than a dozen of the three-game tickets for sale. The price of box seats, accord ingly, soared to $73. and even the mere reserved seats, made of hardwood slats and worth at the factory mayDe were quoted for three sittings of two or three hours each at ThA scarcity of scalper tickets was attributed to the energy which Owner Comiskey displayed in seeking to cir cumvent the practice. He held back distribution until this morning: he numbered the tickets and indexed tne names of the purchasers: he obtained the aid of the State's Attorney and the Chief of Police and promised full pub- licitv in the advertising columns oi me newspapers wherever he found that a purchaser had. transrerrea nis mnei iu a broker.

Now that the first big rush is over it is an opportune time for those who could not get away early in the week to get out and try their luck. It is best for the sportsman in preparing for the hunt to select and use ammunition of known reliability, such as Loaded Shells We are constantly receiving new shipments of these famous shells direct from the factory, which insures the hunter getting fresh loads with the necessary "pep" and "carrying power" to bring down his bird. No hunter can afford to use old carried-over stock, even when brought at a low price ; it's too expensive, and he takes too big a chance in returning home empty-handed. Our Reduced Prices place the best within the reach of all. boards for the third Chicago game, on the theory- that many ticket holders having seen two games would be ready to dispose of their third tickets.
