14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1918 PUGET SOUND SAYS NO TO CHALLENGE Seattle Shipyard Heads Vote . Down Proposition to Clash With Foundation Team. LOSS OF TIME IS EXCUSE Fred X. Bay, President or Local Cir . cuit. Says This . Is One Time ' 'W'ashinstoa Boys Haven't Herxe to Take Beating T BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Tis said they never raised any fool Jih shipbuilders In Seattle, and th saying ia making a bis dent in the con ninK towers of all followers of the foundation shipyard nine of Portland, which aggregation won the champion vhip series of the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuilders League, when it was made known yesterday that Seattle shipyard officials had voted down "proposal to stage a championship series between the Foundation team and the best aggregation in the Puget Sound League. Negotiations have been in progress for some time between President Fred .'. Bay. of the local league, and the "higher-ups" In Seattle, and it was practically settled that a championship aeries would be played. Thursday night the Puget Sound or ficials held a pow-wow and evidently. after sising up Foundation's line-up. suddenly announced that owing to op position of the shipyard officials it was thought best to call off the series. but play nixt year. L.m of Time Is Excuse. Why the Seattle officials break Into print with such an absurd story is not known, because no time would be lost in playing the game. The Seattle ship yard workers have a half-holiday on Saturday, but even this brief layoff would not enter Into the case, because the team could leave Seattle Saturday at midnight and arrive in Portland at 7 i-und-iy morning, returning to the Puget Sound metropolis Sunday night via the same route. No time would be lost at the shipyards in playing the aerii-. There Is no question but that the Seattle tossers carefully scrutinized Foundation's lineup and with such an array of former major league talent as the local plant boasts, the Puget Sound boys decided that It would be much more preferable to finish the season with honors intact rather than come to Portland and take a beating. rirenlt Head la Surprised. Fred N. Bay. president of the local circuit, was a much surprised man yes terday when the writer Informed him of the unexpected action taken by the Seattle officials. "Seattle is not fooling anyone but themselves." said "Prexy" Bay yes terday, "and you can take It from me that they realized they were up against stiff opposition if they played Foun dation. We were all laboring under the Impression that the games were as good as clinched but this news puts the crusher on our plans. With Lefty James and Rube Evans working in big leagua style and the entire Founda tion team playing at top speed. 1 do not blame Seattle for taking a run-out powder, but I thought the least they would do would be to take a chance. "Anytime Seattle can put one over on Portland whether it be baseball, football, boxing or even business, they never overlook the opportunity and this is one time where they haven't got the nerve to come down and take a beating. It is no more than I ex pected the way Foundation is play ing." ' Members of the Portland baseball team, when the Beavers were in the Pacific Coast League, will learn with regret of the passing of Mike Hefron, one of the best-known sporting men in San Francisco, who died last Tuesday evening.

The -Marines visited Camp Fremont today and right from the kick- off they "had the situation well in hand." They defeated the Camp Fre- mont team 66-0, and scored so fast and so often that the young men assigned to work on the score board quit in dis gust. Coach Bill Diets shook his head sadly before the game started because Captain Dick Hanley and Bill Steers, his two big guns in the back field, were not able to play, but the substi tutes did very well, thank you, and Bill's smile was childlike and bland when he discovered that young Gal loway plays quarter very well. The soldiers did not have much but the disposition. Some of them have played football before, but they lacked a lot of having a football team today. Captain Calander, at left guard, shot up in the air like a wireless station, tower ing head and shoulders above every other man on the field, and he worked hard, but his bunch was up against too much class. Teamwork la Larking. Birkhead. a Haskell Indian, played right tackle for the soldiers and showed that he has had football training, but taken as a whole, the soldiers were out classed. Blewett chased around the Army's right end for a touchdown in the first quarter. That was the only score of that period, and as the Army was nghting hard, it looked as if there would be a real contest. But in the second period the marines opened up full tilt. First Blewett went over: then Galloway broke through the line for a run of 30 yards tor a toucnaown; liillls was the next to go over, and finally Blewett heaved a forward pass with his left paw to Gal loway for the fourth touchdown of the period. That ran the score up to 33 to 0, and some of the soldier rooters began quitting. In the third Quarter Coach Dietz put in a lot of subs. One of them was a kid named Adams and his first dash was for 40 yards. Kid Adams Shows Speed. On the next play he made a touch down. Adams made another long run andvthen Blewett shot a forward pass to Pearson for another score. Twice after that Blewett threw the ball to Roy naniey ana eacn time the brother of the captain scored. Gills made the last touchdown. Toward the end everv time the marines scored a bunch of soldiers got up to go. At the close the band was left practically alone.

The Richmond Journal is convinced that before the present season for open war fare closes "the Stars and Stripes will float over the city of Metz," despite the fact that it is a "long, long road," according to Colonel Azan, the distinguished French officer.

College regimental football, which promises to fill In the dates of inter collegiate contests already booked, is a bit slow in assuming definite pro portions owing to the failure of those in charge of student military training to say Just how long each eleven may devote to training and for what period they may linger from their barrack. "we're -marking time" is the report from the executive committee of the University of California student body in response to a query as to the atti tude of that institution as regards football for the coming season. Some time ago the committee held a con ference and requested further infor mation from Washington as to the at titude of the Government on football, The answer has not been forthcom ing and the Califomians prefer to await developments. The Califomians have an agreement with the Northwestern colleges under the Pacific Coast Conference rules not to start football training until October 1. but as conference rules were suspended when the student army training corps became mixed up in ath letics, the Blue and Gold athletes can get under way with their training any old time they wish. California will have the nucleus for a wonderful "regimental" gridiron team. There will be 13.000 men at the Berkeley institution next week. Of the above number. 5000 will be attached to the aviation service. 3000 will be de tached men. and 5000 from the student army training corps. There ought to be material for a superb aggregation with no freshmen rule staring them in the face and 13,000 men to choose from. Oregon Agricultural College will be represented by a formidable eleven, ac cording to advance information ema nating from the Corvallla Institution. Like California, the Aggies will have more men than ever befora from which to gather a gridiron team. There will be 2400 lads at Corvallis in the student army training corps and 800 detach ment men. Coach Hargiss will super vise getting the regimental eleven in shape and as soon as the War Depart ment Issues a statement regarding how much time the soldier laddies may de vote to football a schedule will be ar ranged. The Oregon Aggies have not heard from Washington State College regard ing their game to be played on Mult nomah Field, Thanksgiving day. Both institutions signed a contract with the Multnomah Club to play Turkey day but since the Pullmanites rumored that there would be no football the Oregon Aggies have not made known their in tentions regarding the Thanksgiving day date. If they can hold the field for Thanksgiving day the Aggies will probably schedule a game with the University of Washington Regimental eleven. ' Portland's Refunding Bonds O. K.

CAMP L.EYVIS BOXER CO"nCTED Private Beryl Fitzgerald Refuses to Drill When Ordered. CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 27. The courtmartial and conviction of an enlisted man at this camp for mal ingerlng to escape drill was announced by the camp advocate office today. Pri vate Beryl A. Fitzgerald, a professional boxer of San Diego, Cal., was the man convicted. Fitzgerald, it was charged, refused to drill when ordered to do so after half a dozen army surgeons had reported after examination that Fitzgerald was physically fit. Two X-rays also were taken, according to testimony at the trial, but these also failed to show con ditions complained of by Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald, in his own behalf, testi fied he had suffered from pains through his body since he was knocked out by an adversary in San Diego two years ago. Army officers desired publicity for the case to show that few men after being drafted attempt to dodge any service assigned them and also to dis courage other soldiers who might at tempt to escape duty by false claims of illness. Although asserting that he was too ilf to drill testimony at the trial showed Fitzgerald acted as boxing instructor for his company and less than a month before his trial knocked out an adver sary in one minute during a boxing con test here.

Patriotism and pep were the keynotes at the meeting of the Multnomah An glers' Club at the Oregon building last night. After a. stirring talk by Judge E. V. Littlefield, 3000 was pledged by members of the club to purchase lib erty bonds.. There was a little bit or everything on the programme and the boys enjoyed one of the best times in the history of the organization. Much prominence was given to me Gill bill, to be submitted to the next Legislature. The bill pertains to the closing of the Willamette River to fishermen with gill nets, ana unless that practice is stopped the anglers figure that it will mean the doom or fishing. , R. E. clanton. superintendent or tne Dixon's Solve Your Lubrication Problem Metal-to-metal contact in bearing surfaces causes friction.

Joseph Dixoa Cracible Company, I r-i. m l V state fish hatcheries, explained the bill in detail. Mr. Clanton also dis cussed general fishing conditions throughout Multnomah County and Ore gon and refuted the statement that scores of fish die below the falls at Oregon City. Since the Fish Commis sion has improved the waterways all the fish, it is said, are able to get over the falls and very few are lost. At the conclusion of Mr. Clanton's talk a committee was appointed to see that the proper publicity is given to the Gill bill. Frank McFarland was made chairman of the committee. . The members also voted to send $250 to buy tobacco for the boys in the Oregon Forestry Regiment in France. Dr. George Cathey, prominent mem ber of the Multnomah Anglers' Club, rendered his stirring war poem. "Pass ing By." Miss Ruth Becker, who is spending her time visiting the various cantonments throughout the country and entertaining the soldiers, gave a short address. A collection was taken for her to' carry on her work in behalf of the boys in khaki. Two red-hot boxing bouts ended the meeting. The contestants in the first mill were Muff Bronson, lightweight champion of the Pacific Coast, and Claire "Kid" Bromeo, the San Fran cisco flash. The final go was a three-round con test between Joe Gorman, claimant of the Northwest featherweight title, and Lee Morrissey, the crack Salt Lake lightweight. Coach Is in Quandary, Claude Hunt, well-known football conch at the University of Washing- j ton, was a Portland visitor yesterday. He was accompanied by Mrs. Hunt. The Washington gridiron mentor has been asked to coach the Vancouver Barracks football eleven this season. It was to talk matters over with the athletic officer at Vancouver Barracks that Hunt came to Portland, but Just how far negotiations have progressed was not made known last night. Hunt is in a peculiar predicament. If the University of Washington in tends putting out a regimental eleven, it is said that Hunt wants to remain at the Seattle institution. If gridiron activities are to be curtailed, he as pires to coach the Vancouver Barracks eleven, provided he is given a com mission. Nothing definite has been done to ward signing a contract for the game between the Mare Island Marines and Vancouver Barracks. The Marines want a guarantee of $1750, so it is said, and they are worth every cent they ask, because they are without a doubt the biggest gridiron attraction on the Coast. If Vancouver can marshal a capable eleven togettier and tackle the Marines they will play to a ca pacity crowd. The Marines are a for midable eleven. Every player on the team Is an experienced varsity star of the first magnitude. Larger Wheat Acreage Predicted. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.
