CAUSE ASCRIBED TO WAR
State Ijcagne, at Annual Meeting,
.Re-elects Dr. E. C. McFarland, of
Portland, President Impor
tant Resolutions Adopted.
irte fifth annual meeting of the Ore
gon Sportsmen's League was called to
order yesterday by President Dr. Earl
C. McFarland at the Imperial Hotel,
with representatives present from a
majority of the rod and sun clubs In
the State.
Many important resolutions were
adopted at yesterday's session which
have for their purpose the betterment
of fish and game conditions in the
State.
That the war has decreased interest
Jn fishing- and hunting was evidenced
from State Game Warden Carl Shoe
maker's report of the license money
received during the last three years.
-In 1915 $111,000 was spent for licenses.
The commission received $96,000 in
1916 from the sale of licenses, while
this year only $90,000 was spent for
fishing and hunting permits, a falling
off of $21,000 since 1915.
Salary Decrease Shown.
State Game "Warden Shoemaker read
his report on the expenditures of the
hatchery fund, which showed the State
epent $29,784 for the propagation of
trout in 1917. against $29,430 In 1916.
The salaries of the State Game War
den's force showed a decrease of more
than $12,000 for 1917. The 1916 salary
list totaled $31,122, against $18,962 for
1917. The expenses of the Game War
den's office for 1916 were $12,102, while
the expenses for 1917 totaled $10,690,
a decrease of $1412.
A resolution was adopted recom
mending that the China pheasant sea
eon be closed for two years. The China
pheasant shooters of Umatilla County
will be able to enjoy a ten-day shoot
each year If a resolution adopted yes
terday, recommending its passage, is
acted favorably upon by the next Leg
islature. A motion was made by A. B. Weath
erford, of Albany, on behalf of the Al
bany Gun Club, recommending a bag
limit of five, male or female, China
pheasants in seven days. The motion
was lost.
Change in Deer Season Urged.
The league decidod to recommend
that the deer season in district No. 1,
which comprises Western Oregon, open
September 1 and close October 31.
A resolution recommending that the
law covering salmon egg fishing on
the Willamette River south of Inde
pendence, be repealed was adopted.
This section is the only one in the
State which is prohibited from using
salmon eggs and the league voted to
ask the next Legislature to strike out
this part of the act and make it uni
form throughout the State.
Carl Shoemaker, state game warden,
In discussing the condition of the pa
trol service of his force, said that it
was a serious task to keep competent
deputies in the service at a salary of
$3 a day, which is all the Legislature
has allowed. A motion was made rec
ommending that the salary be raised to
,$5 a day.
A. B. Weatherford, of Albany, made
a motion recommending a county ad
ministration of game fund collections
and expenditures. This would take the
matter out of the State Game Commis
sion's hands and each county would be
forced to propagate and distribute its
own fish and game. The motion did
not carry.
Duck Wheat Confiscated.
The work of the Hoover adherents
was seen in a resolution adopted that
'no millable wheat or wheat that could
be exported be used for duck feed. The
1 recent raid on down-river duck pre
serves by the food Administration of
ficials resulted in 31,000 pounds of
. wheat being confiscated.
Tom Kay, State Treasurer and an
enthusiastic sportsman, suggested that
the present Fish and Game Commission
be divided into two commissions one
for the sportsmen and another to han
; die the commercial end of the fish and
vs game industry. Mr. Kay said that the
sportsmen were not interested in com
. mercial fishing and vice versa, and his
jj suggestion resulted in a committee be-
ing appointed to look Into the feasi
x. bility of the proposition of having two
commissions.
, It was recommended in a resolution
i adopted that all important changes in
the present fish and game laws recom
mended by clubs must be made by an
" authorized representative of the club
. lu writing.
I Tobacco Fund to Be Raised.
A committee of three was appointed
to conduct a campaign against the ref
' erendum invoked by the commercial
fishermen against the net fishing law
J in the Willamette and Rogue Rivers
J which was passed at the last Legisla-
ture.
A resolution was presented and
adopted asking that a committee of
I three be appointed to report on the
- finances and expenditures of the fatate
' Game Warden's offices for the past sea
" son.
Every tod and gun club In the state
of Oregon will donate money from its
" treasury toward a tobacco fund for
' boys in the United tSates Forestry Di-
; vision, according to a resolution carriea
at yesterday's meeting.
I Owing to war conditions and the fact
that the state game fund is depleted, a
resolution was adopted urging all club
members to co-operate in every pos
sible way to assist the State Game
Warden's office in a strict enforcement
of the game laws.
. R. E. Clanton, master fish warden
said that the hatcheries turned out
9.000.000 game fish in 1917, including
steelheads and trout. Owing to the
enlistment of a number of employes
of the fish hatcheries Mr. Clanton said
he was finding it a hard task to main
tain the high efficiency for which his
staff has always been noted.

EUGENE'S CLAIM IS DISPUTED
Lebanon Sigh Eleven Points Out
That It Has Clear Record.
LEBANON Or., Dec. 10. (Special.)
The claim of the Eugene High School
football team to the state championship
is rather amusing to the Lebanon High
School eleven. Lebanon claims as good
a right to the state championship as
Eugene, and in addition claims the
Willamette Valley championship over
both Eugene and Cottage Grove.
Lebanon has not been defeated this
year, and has scored lip points to 6
points against them. The Lebanon boys
have not played either Eugene or Cot
tage Grove, but have tried to arrange
games with both teams. Eugene gave
Lebanon two dates November 24 and
December 8. Lebanon accepted each
time, but a few days before the game
Eugene canceled the contest.
Cottage Grove gave Lebanon a date
for November-29, which Lebanon ac
cepted, but this team also canceled the
game.
The Lebanon boys say they are still
willing to play either team at any
time, either at Lebanon or Eugene, or
at Cottage Grove.

SEEMS FAR AWAY
Conferences Between Califor
nia and Stanford Make but
Little Headway.
COMPROMISE IS PROPOSED
Palo Alto Institution Suggests That
Bears Adopt Rugby and In Turn
Stanford Will Play Ameri
can Football Also.
The latest attempts of California and
Stanford alumni again to bring the two
big California institutions together on
the football field have met with no
pronounced success, due, it is said, to
California's refusal to play the Rugby
game, while Stanford, it is said, is
willing to play both games. .
The negotiations between the two
bodies have been secret, but Dick Bar
rett, president of the Stanford alumni,
recently admitted that his association
had gone as far as to take the matter
up with the athletic representatives of
the University of California.
Rugby Crowds Large.
Stanford is willing to play both the
American and Rugby style of football
and it would then be up to the old
graduates to show their hand In sup
port of the one they liked better. This
would be an ideal method of finally
breaking back into the old game which
for years was the "sporting" event of
San Francisco. Both institutions have
attempted to play a "substitute" big
game, but the enthusiasm which mani
fested itself was nothing to compare
to that in the olden days.
Rugby, according to figures given out
by some of the dopesters. has always
been popular with the California fans
and attracted larger crowds- than the
American game ever did. Stanford ad
herents assert there is room for both
games.
Richard Barrett, president of the
Stanford Alumni Association and mem
ber of the athletic board of control,
recently gave out the following state
ment: "Stanford Is ready and will be will
ing at any time to stand for a 50-00
basis and play both games, Rugby and
American. As far as the American
game is concerned, while the alumni
especially like the Rugby game better,
we are willing to put in the American
game at Stanford if they will put in
the Rugby game at California, provided
that the dates of playing these two
games are not unfair to either uni
versity. Stanford Views Given.
"Under the new arrangement at
Stanford the scholastic work is divided
into four quarters, the first of which
begins October 1. It would therefore
be unfair to us to put an American
team in the field until the. latter part
of the quarter, unless California agrees
to begin practice on October 1."
Another member of the Stanford
alumni and a member of the athletic
board of control gave out a statement,
but refused to divulge the names of the
California people consulted in the ne
gotiations. "It is true that informal discussion
of resumption of football relations has
been going on between Stanford and
California for the last two months,"
said Cutler. "Unofficially, Stanford
expressed a willingness to meet Cali
fornia on an even basis. In other
words, Stanford was prepared to play
California American football provided
California would play Stanford Rugby
football."
Stanford does not feel that she
should ask California to give up her
chosen game and, on the other hand,
she does not feel that California should
ask Stanford to give up Rugby. Stan
ford, they say, feels more and more
each year that Rugby is best adapted
to conditions at Stanford. The cardi
nal institution is not only satisfied
with Rugby, but insists on retaining'
Rugby under any conditions.
Conference Are Held.
The representatives of both schools
have been working zealously for a
long time to bring matters to a point
where both schools could get together
on the football question. The "great
DoDularltr of the American style of
jgsme In the Army and Navy canton
ments undoubtedly has been Instru
mental in bringing the Stanford insti
tution to a point where it is willing
to enter into preliminary negotiations
for the resumption of football rela
tions. Shortstop Baker to Retire to

Former Portland Player Believes
Yankee Are Dae for Uplift Under
Miller Hugglna,
ACCORDING to Roger Peckinpaugh,
New York American shortstop.
Frank Baker will retire to his Mary
land farm after the 1918 campaign. The
former Portland shortstop believes the
Yankees are due for an uplift under
Miller Huggins. provided the midget
escapes the wholesale calamity of ac
cidents that marred Bill Donovan's
experience as leader of the Yankees.
"I claim no pennants," says Peckin
paugh, "but if Huggins succeeds In

One report insists the Philadelphia
Nationals are asking waivers on
Johnny Evers, but John says it can't
be so, because he had a contract with
the Phillies that he was to become a
free agent at the end of the season.
Pat Moran is reorganizing his Phils,
and the latest rumor is that Buck Her
zog is going to be his right-hand man.
The story is that Buck and John Mc
Graw had such a big row during the
world's series that there is no chance
of Herzog remaining with the Giants.
It was thought that Herzog would go
to the Chicago Cubs, but it is said the
Cubs had no players to offer.
a
A pitching record that escaped gen
eral notice owing to the world's series
excitement was made by Art Nehf of
the Braves in the last few days of the
National League championship cam
paign. Nehf went through a stretch of
40 innings without allowing his oppo
nents to score a run.
After the New York Giants had
failed to score on him in the final in
ning of the last game he pitched
against them, he held St. Louis to 14
innings without a run, then Pittsburg
and Cincinnati for nine each. His next
try was against Brooklyn on October
24, when he went seven -Innings before
the Dodgers put over a run on him.
This was one of the longest stretches
of runless pitching shown by a major
league boxman in many years.
George Burns, first baseman of the
Detroit Tigers, may not be with Jen

therefore, to specialize with a kid

one of the brightest prospects, as a
batter, he has seen in the last ten
years.

NEW DRAFT RULE URGED
MAJOR-I.EAGI K CLUBS'OCLD AD
JUST PLAYING STRENGTH,
Plaa Is to Let Tall-End Clubs Get First
Choice f New Players and
Equalize All Teams.
For several years the club owners
of the major leagues have clamored
for a change In rules governing the
drafting of players from minor leagues.
In order that the weaker clubs in the
big leagues would have some advan
tages over the stronger ones.
About four years ago Charlie Ebbets,
of the Brooklyn Nationals, proposed
the system of giving the tail-end clubs
in each league first call on minor
league players subject to draft, the
two seventh-place clubs second chance,
the two sixth-place clubs third chance,
and so on until the list was exhausted.
Ebbets' idea was to help the weaker
clubs and equalize the playing strength
of the league. The National League
favored the plan, and at two successive
league meetings Ebbets' resolution
was adopted. Ban Johnson voted
against It when It came before the
National commission, and as Garry
Hermann supported Johnson's views,
the resolution failed.
Now almost every team in the two
major leagues will be hard hit by the
Army draft, some more than others,
and some plan will have to be adopted
to help the clubs hardest hit.
It Is understood Ebbets will present
his resolution again when the National
League magnates meet In New York
and the chances are it will be favor
ably received.

PRACTICE TO START SOON
Lincoln, Columbia, Jefferson and
Washington Will Enter Teams
and Successful Season, as
Last Year, 1 Expected.
BY FRANK BARTHOLOMEW.
Followers of amateur athletics will
be glad to know that ice hockey will
be played again this Winter by local
high schools. For a while it seemed
doubtful that the game would be played
this Winter, but at it was a financial
success last year the schools were much
encouraged and have decided to play
again.
- Arrangements have been made to
have Lincoln, Columbia, Jefferson and
Washington enter teams in the league.
These four played in 1916, and are bet
ter prepared to be represented in the
sport than the other institutions. If
the four "big leaguers" make a success
of it, other schools may join the asso
ciation or form a separate league of
their own.
Schedule to Be Arranged.
A meeting will be called in a few
days at the offices of the Ice Palace,
where representatives from each of the
four schools will hold a consultation
with E. J. Bryant, of the rink, and ar
range a schedule, assign nights for
practice, and complete arrangements for
opening the season. It seems probable
that the league will start play shortly
alter the holiday season.
Lincoln High School, winner of last
year's ice hockey championship, ap
pears to be best fortified for the com
ing season, having five letter men
one of them a 1916 all-star in the line
up for the coming season. "Crusty"
Bingham, all-star player, was elected
at the close of the season last year to
captain the next team. Russell Kauf
man, George Wolff, Ted Barton and
Paul Steffen are the experienced play
ers upon whom Lincoln banks its
championship hopes for the coming
season.
Columbia University, runner-up for
the pennant last year, has two letter
men back. They are Bill Collins and
Terry Johnson. The latter made the
all-star last year, and, like Bingham,
of Lincoln, has been elected captain.
Collins is an excellent player. Fred
Walker, who played last year, although
he did not make his letter, is back
again. Pete Sweeney, new to the Inter
scholastic, but an experienced Indepen
dent player, also will report.
Washington High has elected George
Kennedy as 1917 hockey captain. Ken
nedy, with George Johnson, who has
likewise returned, was a member of

ICE PALACE IS NOW READY
Carnival for Benefit of Soldiers Will
Open Tonight.
All is in readiness for the big pa
triotic ice carnival tonight at the Ice
Palace, Twenty-first and Marshall
streets, under the auspices of the La
dies' Auxiliary of Company B, Third
Oregon Infantry. The proceeds of the
carnival will go towards providing
medicine kits and other necessaries
for the boys of Company B, now sta
tioned "somewhere on the Atlantic
Coast."
The big attraction at tonight's car
nival will be the playing off of the
Ice hockey game between teams cap
tained by "Moose" Johnson and Charlie
Tobin. which resulted in a tie score
last October.
These two teams battled fiercely for
three periods and, with the score G to 5
at the end of the third period, the ref
eree called for five minutes of over
time playing, at the conclusion of
which it was impossible for either team
to register the needed point.
All of Portland's Ice hockey stars
will be in the game tonight. "Smokey"
Harris, who was absent from the city
when the last game was played, will
be among those on the ice tonight, and
his presence will greatly strengthen
one of the teams. Jack Herman will
referee.
There will be races for men. women
and children between hockey periods.
General skating will follow the hockey
game. Card tables will be placed In
the reception room for those who da
not wish to skate. The hockey gamo
starts at R:15 sharp.
