Thousands of seats have been re eerved for the big battle in Tacoma. according to reports received here. Coach Dietz lias his men prepared for . stiff argument and the Officers' eleven is determined to battle the Pull man gridironers until the referee's whistle rails a halt at the end of the fourth quarter. May Captain Team. Everett May is captain of tb Of ficers' team, which is made up of of ficers of the r.:M riegjmcnt stationed at Camp Lewis. May. who is a Second J-acutenant. was appointed captain of the squad, and L.ieu(enant-Coloncl Jor don. another Portland man and for mer Multnomah Club gridi-orn star, is assisting May in getting the officers lined up for a. real t-truggle. The officers' eleven is made up mostly of ev-college football stars. Lieutenant Kussol. who will rlay cen ter, in the 1916 University of California f tar renter a-nd was the second selec tion for the All-Facifie Coast team center. lieutenant Jack Hayes, who cap tained the University of Idaho 1016 squad, and Captain Charles Thorpe, of Stanford, are guards.

Here are the weights: May 1 S3, Unwell ISA, Morse 190, Thorpe IS:., Worsliarn lr, Gard 165, Kapple 165, Bell 3 70. Hutchison 160. McLean 170. Duerr 15. "All of the men are old hands at the game and have played, on college or other elevens. Captain May, of course, is well known, having captained O. A. C.'s eleven. Gard was captain ef the Stanford rugby team. He is rated as the best 'breakaway' that ever played in American rugby. 'Breakaway' in ruehy corresponds to the 'end' of the American game. "JlcLain. the fullback, played for McOill. and Kapple, the quarter, was formerly on the Utah .Agricultuarl eleven and a member of the All-P.ocky Mountain squad. "All in all I think we have an all-star eleven which will ma.ke any college in the country hump. With lots of weight and speed we should walk away from Pullman." The probable lineup will be: Officers Position. Pullman. I.ieut. Ghi1' i k. (Capt.) Zim'erman 'HIt. Worsham I.. T Hamilton ''apt. Thorpe I,. G .stites 3-ieur. Russell o , Lyons l.ieut. Morse It. O R.

Hugo Bezdek will give the fniver elty of Oregon squad the double-O when Manager George Bertz and the Multnomah Club gridiron warriors wage their battle at Eugene. Little is known of Bezdek's team, but it is a afe bet that the chunky mentor cf Oregon's football destinies will have hts boys up and going during the four quarters of play. Bertz will leave today with his "Winged M" athletes and is non-com-mital regarding the outcome of today's contest. Bezdek will have an oppor tunity of sizing up his) material while they are under fire and will be able to make such changes as he deems neces sary to present a somewhat formidable lineup against the Washington State College one. week from todav at Pull man, Wash., in Oregon's first intercol legiate sashay of the season. The. lineup and officials for today's gams follow: Oregon. Multnomah. Anderson L E J. Murphy Williams L, T Leader Macy or Cook L. G OsIav Leslie C Driskill Haddock or Berg . .

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Oct. 12. (Special.) The blowing of the whistle promptly at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow for the football game between the Oregon Aggies and the Post Kield Hospital eleven, of Vancou ver will mark the start of the Beavers' 1917 football season. With Captain Newman playing behind the line the prospects for a successful season are much brighter. Archibald has been coached to fill Captain Newman's place, should the captain meet with an acci dent. Lodell, Ray and Brittan will sup port Newman in the backfield. The Post Field Hospital team has several collegiate players in its line up. The game Saturday will afford the first opportunity to see the team in action, and no further chance will be given the home folks to view the work of the Beavers until November S. Several of the men made their first appearance in suits this week. How ever, hard work is making up to some extent for the short practice season. Though others undoubtedly will get a chance in the game Saturday, the men starting the contest will be: Varsity, LKR Blfcsett L T R Holmes L, Cr 11. . .Johnson, Oraftoii nounred that the "White Sox were a elnch tor the series.

FIELDER JONES ON WAY MANAGER. OF ST. LOUS BROWNS EXPECTF.D IN PORTLAND. Baseball Chief Will Pass Winter li Pacific Northnest, Where lie Han Timber Interests. Fielder A. Jones, manager of the St. Louis American League baseball club, is expected home today from Chicago accompanied by his mother, who pasacd the Summer in Chicago. The St. Louis Browns were a big disappointment to Jones this season. When tho affable manager left Port land in the Spring for training camp little did he know of the long run of injuries ntul other misfortunes that would befall his team during the sea son. V hen Plnl C. Ball, owner of the St. Lonis Americans, was in Portland about three weeks ago, he explained in detail the numerous injuries sustained by the different members of the Browne, which put them out of the running as far as winning the pennant was concerned. Although Ihe Browns finished fifth, it does not indicate the strength of Jones a g-grcsra t ion. Jones 1ms timber interests in the Northwest which will occupy his atten tion this w inter. Trap and Field. 1 1 i iiufi; wno own a or 25-gauce X will find it fine practice at this time of the year before the leaves get out too far on the alders or sumachs t- take the light little guns into a erove of these trees and toss empty tartringe shells over their tops and try to drive the little Ss or 9s through the snei If. Th days have been long since the woodcock wore with ms Hnd you may wish you had a case of shells along in- Ftr-ad ft a few boxes. Indeed, yon may leave the alder for 1he open and then wish you had a wagon load of sheila when you find how provokingly the rii.pty shells come down without a hole in them. This is. of course, practice for one two would be far too dangerous. Don't go into a cover whore there may be rerting woodcock. There is plenty of small cover where you need not disturb the tirds. A peep sight on tans:, frame or cock- ing-piece of the gun gives a longer sighting radius than an open sight on the barrel, with proportionally truer a nil. The aperture of a peep sight for hunting should be considerably larger than that for target shooting. One's eye will center such a peephole in - fitinctivrly, because the center of tho hole gets more lipht than its edge. The shooter will scarcely be conscious of using a rear sight at all. CAMP LEWIS TO STAGE MEET Busy Sport Programme Out for To day at American Lake. TACOMA, Oct. II. (Special.) Sol diers at Camp Lewis will hold an unusual sport programme tomorrow.

He said that Jimmy Dundee would be here sooa and that he is in fine condition for Charley Moy. Willie, who is a great admirer of Dun dee and has been in his corner several times, thinks that after Tuesday night there will be a new Pacific Coast ban tamweight champion and his name will be Jimmy Dundee. Moy. who is about the moat reserved boxer in the business, leaves all of the talking to his manager, John Burdick. John appears not to bo worrying about the outcome of th battle. What is expected to be the real battle of the card is the bout between Jack Wanner and Rosaoe Taylor. Taylor boxed four rounds with Joe Benjamin yesterday. He looks to be in fine shape. Waener is doing lots of road work, getting his wind in good condition for a terrific melee. Fred Gilbert, the hardhitting Bend. Or., 40-pounder, is in Portland looking for matches with the boys at his weight here. Gilbert holds the championship of Eastern Oregon at his weight, and now is out hunling for bigger game. Gilbert beat every boy that he met and stopped most of his opponents before the scheduled end of the bout. Nearly all of his battles have been over the 10-round route. Gilbert probably will oppose some good boy on the next box ing card here. He would like to tackle any one in the Northwest in a 10-round battle at Vancouver. Claire ("Kid") Bromeo, the San Fran Cisco featherweight, who is now meet ing all comers in Salt Lake, may come to Portland for a bout In the near future, if satisfactory arrangements can be made. He would like to meet Weldon Wing, featherweight champion of the Northwest, for the title. Bromeo Is one of the most picturesque boxers of tian Francisco. He has met all of the good boys at his weight in California and is not 21 years old. Answer to Query. PORTLAND. Or., Oct. S. (To the Sport ing Editor.) Dear Sir: Please publish in your sporting columns the description of the famous Merkle play which cost the New York Giants the pennant and m chance at the world's series." A asserts that Merkle was on first at the time the ball was hit ana failed to touch second, thereby being forced at- second for the third out. B contends that Merkle hit the ball, but instead of touching first, ran for the clubhouse and Evers got the ball and put him out at first. C declares Merkle hit the bsll and touched first, but turned the wronj way. I contend that it makes no difference which way he turned after touching first, as the w'lnning run scored from third and the game was over if he touched first. Yours truly, A -bUttSCrUFER. Game at New Tork September 23, 190S. between Chicago and New York. Merkle. subbing at first base, was on first base and McCormick on third, when Bridewell cracked a clean hit to center and Merkle, without running to second, rushed for the clubhouse and was forced out at second, nullifying the run that McCormick had scored. Umpire O'Day ran down to second base and saw the play. Sporting Editor. Extension of Deer Season Sought. TOLEDO, Or.. Oct. 12.
