HOLLOGHER PICKED
AS BIG SHOW STAR
Carson Bigbee Declares Port
land Man Has Few Equals
in Either Major League.
CHICAGO HELD FORTUNATE
Beavers and Seals Should Ptit TJp
Home After Successful Year '
In Western League.
Interesting Sarles Don Rader
BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
That Charlie Hollocher, the sensa
tional shortpatcher of the Portland
Beavers, will be a sensation in the Na
tional League next season when he
Joins the Chicago Cubs, is the opinion
of Carson Bigbee, Pittsburg outfielder,
a former University of Oregon baseball
and basketball star.
Bigbee watched Hollocher In the
series with Salt Lake, and the sensa
tional stops and throws, as well as the
timely hitting of the phenomenal
Beaver lnfielder, made a very decided
impression with Bigbee.
"He is a wonder," said Bigbee. "I
don't think there is a man in the Na
tional League, with the possible excep
tion of "Rabbit" Maranville, who can
stack up alongside of Hollocher. Some
of the stops Hollocher made against
Salt Lake looked like hits in any
league.
"What impressed me most was his
ability to go over back of deep third
base or into center and grab the ball
and throw his man out at first while
off balance. His one-hand scoop of
Sheeley's drive over second base Sun-?
day and throwing the big fellow out
at first was as nice an exhibition of
fielding as you see in the big leagues.
"'His hitting is good. For a left
hand hitter he sure does wail south
paw pitching. And that is a wonder
ful asset to a ballplayer, when he can
hit left-handers as well as right.
"'Hollocher certainly will make good
with the Cubs. They are sadly in
need of a shortstop, and he will work
well with young Kilduff, who plays
second. They ought to make a won
derful double-play combination around
that second station. The Cubs had
Kilduff playing short for a while this
season, but he is a natural second base
man. Zeider worked at short and then
Mitchell sent in Wortman. Neither can
come up to Jiollocher in any depart
ment of the game, and his hitting will
make them all sit up and take notice.
The only disadvantage Hollocher will
have will be his inexperience.
...
The Beavers closed a successful four
weeks' stay at home and the fans have
awakened to a realization that Mc
Credie has a first-division team. It is
not resorting to "alibi" stuff to say
that if the Beavers had not run into
their streak of injuries at Los An
geles a few months ago it would be
needless to remind the fans that they
would be right up around the top of
the percentage column.
Starting today at San Francisco they
clash with the Seals in a seven-game
series. The Seals have been going good
the last week, and the San Francisco
fans are in for a corking good series,
Irrespective of who wins.
McCredie's pitchers are in good shape
for a gruelling three weeks' stand
against the Seals, Oaks and Los An
geles, and, while they may manage
to stick in third place, it wouldn't be
at all surprising to see the Beavers
finish in second place, and well, guess
for yourself.
Lyle Bigbee. who played with Spo
fcane until the Northwest League hit
the rocks, was a Portland visitor
yesterday. Bigbee worked in the Seat
tle shipyards and pitched for the
Duthie team. He had a good season.
Bigbee went to McMinnville yesterday,
and reports have It that he will join
the Field Hospital Corps at American
Lake, which is made up of former Uni
versity of Oregon men.
...
Don Rader, formerly with the Uni
versity of Oregon football, basketball
and baseball teams, and who formerly
played with Vernon in the Coast
League; Chicago, in , the American
League, and last season played short
for St. Joseph, In the "Western League,
arrived in Portland yesterday on his
way to Eugene. .
Rader had a good year with St. Jo
seph and hit in the clean-up position
on his club. Rader will play basket
ball during the Winter months to keep
in shape for next season's diamond
work.
...
Sunday society note: "Dr. George
Alnslie left last Sunday for Chicago
to attend the . Clinical Congress of
Surgeons." It might have been well
to add: Dr. Ainslie will be in at
tendance at the Clinical Congress dur
ing such time as it will not interfere
with his presence at the world series
games.

The second first-division football
game of the Interscholastic League will
be played at today on Multnomah
Field, when Columbia University meets
Washing-ton High School. The first
"big-time" game was the Lincoln-Jefferson
fray of last week, and today's
game promises to equal it in every way
as to thrills and all-star playing.
This afternoon's battle promises to
be exciting in every detail. Neither
team has lost a game. Columbia has
tied James John, 0 to 0. and blanked
Commerce, 32 to 0. Washington, in its
single game so far. shut the door on
the husky Benson eleven with a 46-to-0

"I'd be foolish to try to buck that
Washington line for straight yardage."
says Tick Malarkey, Columbia's fire
eating leader. "Maybe we can trot out
a few stunts in the way of open-play
work that will enable us to hold our
own."
Coach Earl, of Washington, says
nothing. His style, however, will be
to try to crush that varsity eleven with
that heavy, unyielding line of Wash
ington's. The line-up for this afternoon's bat

The "Vancouver Post Hospital foot
ball team will journey to Corvallis
next Saturday and play the Oregon Ag

The Salemites had to cancel their game
on account of the small number of men
out for practice.
The Post Hospital have a fair team
and held Multnomah to a 13-0 score
last Saturday. It will be a good work
out for ihe Aggies and will give Coach
Pipal a line on what material he will
have for the Idaho game, ' which is
scheduled for Pendleton on October 20.
Meier Newman, Aggie fullback and
captain of the 1917 eleven, passed

Boxing Commission Will
Hold Meeting Tonight.
Pete Mitchie, the new "durable Dane"
is not making any noise about his
match with Alex Trambitas nor does
he ever say much abouKany of his
matches, but he is working hard and
will be fit and ready for Young
Trambitas when they meet in a six
three-minute round bout, in the main
event of the Pacific Athletic Club box
ing show at the Eleventh-street play
house, on Tuesday night, October 16,
a week from tomorrow night. Pete is
a quiet, unassuming boy and every
body is his friend in the ring and out.
When he does not have a match in
sight he passes his time working on
his father's farm back of Vancouver,
Wash., keeping in the best of condi
tion for any bout that may come up.
Both Alex Trambitas and Mitchie are
alike in the fact that they are both
quiet and gentlemen. In the ring each
one of them is a fighter from start
to finish.
Most of the boys Pete has beaten
have been boxers whom he has over
powered with his rip-tearing style of
boxing and agressiveness, but in
Trambitas he will meet a boy who has
showed himself to be equally aggres
sive. Charley Moy, bantamweight cham
pion of the Pacific Coast,, is rapidly
getting in condition for his tilt with
Jimmy Dundee, the Oakland battler,
who disputes his title.
Bobby Evans is not going to take
chances with any of the bouts on his
card and completed arrangements yes
terday so that Joe Benjamin, Billy
Mascott and Billy Williams will keep
in condition and in case any of the
boys in the first three bouts should
fail to go on, he will have a topnotcher
ready to step in and take his place.
Evans telegraphed an ultimation to
Jimmy Dundee yesterday saying that
if Dundee co.uld not get here at least
five days before the fight he would
cancel him and use Billy Mascott with
Charley Moy.
George Brandon, the clever little
Portland boy, who put up three great
fights before the local fans, meeting
Billy Mascott, Abe Gordon and Sammy
Gordon in three straight battles, is
now in Boise, Idaho. George is scheduled
to meet Dutch Leonard, of Chicago, in
a six-round bout in Boise on Friday
night, October 12. Leonard has a big
reputation throughout the Middle West
and a win over him will put the
Portland boy in the limelight.
Lee Johnson fought a four-round
draw with Monk Fowler, in San Fran
cisco, at Dreamland Rink the other
night. Lee did not have as much pep
as he did several years ago, which was
the last time he appeared in San Fran
cisco and he had a hard time with
Fowler.
The Portland Boxing Commission will
hold a meeting tonight and bring up
several important issues and probably
will abolish one of the rules of the
commission. The rule in question is
the one which says that any promoter
who is managing a boxer will not be
allowed to use his own boy in the
main event, semi-windup or special
event of his show. The Boxing Com
mission is confident that they can
handle the game and will allow the
managers to use their own boys, but
if any questionable bout is held it will
be investigated and the promoter
barred.

The Quakers were handicapped by the
absence of several men who were in

Glass, of Columbia, scored the first
touchdown on a 60-yard end run. His
end runs were the only plays on
which Columbia seemed to be able to
make consistent yardage. The Quak
ers' only chance to score was lost
when the ball was fumbled on the first
down on Columbia's 10-yard line.
O'Hara and Murphy were Columbia's
most consistent yardage gainers.
Pander and Stearns were the stars for
the Quakers, while Hesse and John
son played a neat game in the back
field. The Quakers still claim the 125-
pound championship, as the Columbia
team averages 132 pounds to the man.

QUARTET GETS 4 DEER
FISHING FIXE AT "WILLAMETTE'S
HEADWATERS.
Prominent Portland Bnaineaa Men En
joy Two Weeks' OntlnK Along
Banks of Mlddleford River.
Four deer and "all the fish we want
ed," In addition to two weeks of the
sort of life that rejuvenates the tired
business man, was the result of an
outing at the headwaters of the Wil
lamette of John H. Burgard, Frank E.
Dooly and Claude Starr as the guests
of George W. Kelly.
The quartet of prominent Portland
business men was undecided as to
where to do their fishing and hunting
and the selection of the Mlddleford
River country was a happy one. They
went in by team from Jaspar Hill's
ranch for a distance of 20 miles and
pitched camp on the Mlddleford River,
in the country where the Willamette
has its source. That they got four deer
"without half trying" indicates that
that section is not far from a hunts
man's paradise, while, the streams were
so plentifully supplied with fish that
these four veteran anglers declare they
never found better sport.
Being intent on roughing it, Mr.
Kelly and his guests left behind them
everything that could be classed as a
camp comfort. At the start there was
some discussion as to who was best
qualified to fill the role of cook, but
after each had a turn it was voted that
they all were equally incompetent.

AMERICA HOME OF AUTO
Government Experts Show 3,500,
000 Cars in t?se in January.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. The United
States is distinctively the home of the
automobile.
If all the remainder of the world
owned motor cars in the same propor
tion to its population that the United
States does there wuld now be in use
a grand total of 06,201,213 self-propelled
vehicles. Obviously, however,
it will be some time before the Pata
gonians, the Zulus, the Liberians or the
Fiji Islanders own a motor car for
every 30 members of their community,
as is the case today in the United
States.
"Nevertheless," said an expert of the
Department of Commerce, "making all
allowances for the relatively small pur
chasing power which exists in many
of the foreign countries, the fact re
mains unmistakable that a vast export
market awaits the energetic exploita
tion of American automobile manufac
turers. . When the present war shall
have ended and the tides of commerce
shall have returned to their accus
tomed channels the demands of all
mankind for more efficient living will
create a market in other countries for
at least 3,600.000 motor vehicles, which
must largely be supplied by the Ameri
can automobile industry."
The following table, compiled by Gov
ernment authority, shows the number
of cars in use on January 1 last and the
number each division of the earth
would have if automobiles were owned
elsewhere in the same proportion to
population as in the United States:
Cars in use January 1. United States,
3,500,000; Canada and other North
America, 118,086; Mexico and Central

Department from Consuls in Mexico. ther
attitude of Mexicans toward automo-:
bile racing has changed materially in
the last year, and this sport, which not
long ago was banned, now has become
popular with the masses.
In the past to kill a peon In an auto
mobile race and, in the old days, in a
bicycle race, was certain to result in a
jail sentence. For that reason the pro
motion of racing events was dangerous
to the promoter, who was promptly ar
rested in the event of an accident, as
well as to the motor car driver, who
"got his" for his- temerity in killing a
Mexican.
When it is known that at racing
events in Mexico the peons are abso
lutely uncontrollable and will walk
across the track whenever they desire,
it may be seen that customs have not
changed, for a recent report told of the
killing of four persons while crossing a
track during an automobile meet. The
custom is one of those of Mexico which
never will change.
Years ago when electric streetcars
were installed in Mexico the number
of killings grew so large that the news
papers did not report them. The Mex
icans always considered it the correct
thing to walk upon electric railway
tracks, either in the city or the country,
and that became a prolific source of
killings.
Mexicans themselves were the drivers
in the late races. It will be a source of
satisfaction to thousands of automobile
tourists who have a penchant for visit
ing places of historic interest to learn
that the horrible old Chopawamsic
swamp, insofar as It relates to motor
travel between Washington, the capi
tal of the Union, and Richmond, the
erstwhile capital of the Confederacy,
is no more. What probably was Ameri
ca's most infamous barrier to auto
mobile touring surrendered to General
Roadbuilder and an army of picks,
shovels and steam rollers last week.
