IXTERNATIONALi SOCCER NEAR DEMPSEY TO Mi EVERY OTHER WEEK OPEN SERIES TODAY Standifer and Cornfoot to Clash at Vaughn Street. Increase in Speed Before Meet ing Willard Manager's Aim. TITE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1919. HiPBulLDER TEilS a TWO GAMES ON FOR SUNDAY Neither Nine Beaten So Far This j Season and Smartly Contested Battle Is Expected. Providing the elements are propitious, Portland baseball followers may jour ney out to Vaughn street this afternoon and take in a real honest to goodness high" class exhibition of the national Iiastime.

This afternoon's game will start at 3 o'clock and will only be a teaser for the double-header slated for Vaughn street between the two rival shipbuild ing teams tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. "Whitey" McBride has his Cornfoot team in good shape and is out to cop the three-game series with Wayne h Lewis' speedy Standifer outfit. Neither Team Vet Beaten. The Vancouver team has not dropped a game this season, winning four straight. Cornfoot has been traveling along at a like clip to date and has yet to have a win registered against them. It is to be regretted that an inter-city league was not organized for this season, as it is a certainty that the baseball fans and fanettcs would have been treated to some lively games with Standifer, Cornfoot and other likely looking clubs in the field. A game was arranged between Stan difer and Cornfoot for Vancouver sev eral weeks ago, but failed to come off. It was rumored at the time that Mc Bride was afraid to let his "athletes" take on the Standifer crew and some mean things were said about him; but the two teams will step out now and play their best in the three-games series scheduled to get under way this afternoon. Good Pitchers Picked. "Rube" Evans, former Beaver and Salt Lake pitcher, will do the twirling for Cornfoot this afternoon. "Rube" pitched some great ball in the ship builders' league last year, and has been aching to start in a real game this season. Al Hartman, former Portland Ecaver and Washington State college star, will be Manager Lewis selection to work in the box for Standifer. Hartman has annexed four victories for his club this season, and is pitching the best ball of his career. Al Bartholomy will do the receiving for Cornfoot, while Bob Marshall will grab Hartman's hooks for Standifer. One game is scheduled to be played i this afternoon in the Commercial league, the Cornfoot Yannigans meeting the ' Catholic Order of Foresters outfit on the Columbia Park grounds at 3:30 o'clock.

LEAVES Athletes Will Meet O. A. C. Tcr formers Today at Corvallis. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman. Wash., May 6. (Special.) "Doc" Bohler, with 12 track men, left last night for Corvallis, where they meet O. A. C. in a dual meet tomorrow. If the boys perform as well as they did last Saturday against Idaho they should win from O. A. C. The mile is expected to be the "big event of the day when Swan of O. A. C. and Ratchford of Washington State clash. "Jit" Smith, the conference two mile record holder, should win his event easily, as should Jenne the pole vault, as 12 feet is an everyday occur ancc for him. His mark of 21 feet 8 Vz inches in the broad jump last Saturday, if duplicated, should win a first for "Washington State there. Howell should win the high hurdles and possibly the low but as to the sprints and high jump the crimson and gray cohorts are doubtful. King in the discus and Mc Croskey in the javelin should more than offset O. A. C.'s advantage in the shot put. Captain Phillips says a first in the 8S0-yard run will satisfy him. but that his chances depend on Swan and Ratch ford's condition after running the mile. Those making the trip with "Doc" J. F. Bohler are Captain C. A. Phillips, Eldon Jenne, R. M. King. Floyd Ratch ford, Levi Sutton, Earl McCroskey, Overman Howell. Charles "Jit" Smith Merton Parker. Bert Stone, Clark Cal der and Noel Baker.

There are so many tug-of-war teams that if all had to pull on the day of the track meet it would take several hours to decide the winning team. By holding an elimination contest some day next week, probably Thursday, the est teams could be selected and com pete on the day of the meet. TRAINING SITE IS RAIX POSTPONES BALL GAME Franklin-Commerce Contest Is Set Forward Indefinitely. Owing to the wet condition of Mult nomah field, the Franklin-Commerce baseball game scheduled for yesterday afternoon was postponed indefinitely. This game would have been very in teresting to the fans as both teams have a bunch of good hitters. Harry Thomas and "Babe" Hobson of Frank lin are well up in the league's batting averages and should give a good ac count of themselves before the season closes. August Wagner of Commerce is a big league hitter this year and will give the opposing pitchers something- to think about. This game will probably be played off next week if the coaches of the two teams can get together. The teams who have postponed games to play yet will have to hurry or they will not finish their schedule before the close of school.
