The Stanford freshman team this
year Is facing a hard proposition.
With the game against the University
of California babes only five week:
away and with a month's start in
training against them, a severe work
out to whip them into condition will
be necessary. The cardinal babes are
put at a disadvantage at the very
start by the fact that the freshman
class at Berkeley is over 3000. while
the coach at Stanford has less than
(00 freshmen to select from. A. L.
Acker, the coach, is extremely confi
dent, however, that out of the 75
candidates that have reported for
practice be will develop an eleven
that will fight the California fresh
men to the last minute of play.
Laman Bonney of Jefferson high
school is a fighting aspirant for a
backfield position on the Stanford
varsity, and Paul Campbell, who
played fullback several years ago for
Washingf? high school, is another
promising candidate for a position in
the varsity backfield. C. W. Pallette,
who was a substitute lineman for
Washington high school, will prob
ably land a berth on the cardinal sec
ond varsity.

SAX FRANCISCO. Oct. 14. (Spe

Coast league will be called in the near
re by President Allan T. Baum
for a meeting to be held in San Fran
cisco. It is likely the date will be
around the first of November and the
purpose of the meeting, as stated by
President Baum. will be a discussion
of league policies with reference to
the minor league meeting to be held
in Springfield, .Mais, in November.
W bether the question of the reslg
nation of President Baum, submitted
during the playing season, will be
considered is something the delegates
themselves will have to answer.
It doubtless depends upon how
many votes the opposition to Baum
can muster. So far. the opposition has

Hildebrand Is Mentioned.
The name of George Hildebrand.
former San Francisco outfielder and
now American league umpire, has
been introduced. Stories from Los
Angeles Indicate that Hildebrand is
candidate, being "in the hands pf his
friends.
There is no questioning but that
Hildebrand would prefer to be iocat
ed on the coast. He dislikes the
traveling that his berth as an umpire
entails and the fact that it separates
him from hts family for so many
months during each year. . At that,
if Baum's resignation is to be accept
ed, Hildebrand would make a good
executive and should command re
spect from the club owners and fans
alike.
Quite a bit of controversy has been
aroused over the non-appearance of
President Baum at . the Vernon-St.
Faul series. Officials of the American
association and of the St, Paul club
have commented upon his absence,
Baarn Not Conualted.
Baum himself explains that he was
ignored by the southern clubs and
was not asked to participate in any
way in the negotiations for the
games.
Neither club referred any mat
ters to me," he said today, "and
naturally I could not be expected to
take a hand. Originally when the
question was brought to the atten
tion of the coast league, no action
was taken. So, at that time, I referred
the matter to the four clubs, any one
of which was in line for the coast
league flag.
"Since that time no reference has
been made to me. I wasn't even
asked to name the umpires, though
you do read in the papers they had
had several fist fights during the
series and nothing of the sort oc
curred during the coast 'league race."

COMRADES ARE INDIGNANT
Friends Resent Report Concerning
Death of George Keough.
Indignation at reports given out In
connection "with the death of George
Keogh at the Hislop hall apartments
last Thursday night that he was a
runkard or drug addict has resulted
In a general protest from former com
rades of Keogh in the 363d field am
bulance company, C M. Fraley, man
ager of the Multnomah hotel baths,
his former employer, and other
friends.
"Dr. Edward J. Kane said yesterday
that he knew positively that the boy
was not a user of drugs," said Mr.
Fraley, "and boys who were with him
in France all testified to his good
character. All declared that he was
not a drug user or a user of liquor
to any great extent."
Deputy Coroner Leo Goetsch said
the report that Keough was a drug
user had come from the woman in
charge of the apartment where he
died. He said he gave It no credence
at the time. The verdict at the
autopsy that the man died of acute
alcoholism was given by reputable
physicians, he said.
"There seems to be no question that
he was a man of good character,"
Goetsch said. "It was just a case of
getting too much liquor at this par
ticular time."

Letter of Resignation to Mayor
dives Lack of Time as
Reason for Action.
City Commissioner Pier yesterday
withdrew as a member of the special
committee appointed by the city coun
cil and the public service commission
to investigate the plans offered for
solving- the street railway problems
which are confronting Portland. Fred
J. Buchtel. chairman of the public
service commission, is the other mem
ber of the committee.
Mayor Baker, to whom Commis
sioner Pier's letter was addressed,
said yesterday that he was undecided
as to what steps he would take to
fill the vacancy. The letter giving
Mr. Pier's reasons for quitting the
committee is as follows:
When I accepted my appointment I
thought I might be able to give sufficient
time to this work to carry out the purpose
of these two bodies. But I have no right
to remain inactive on so important a com
mittee; so in view of the added work that
has come to me through my regular du
ties in the bureaus under my charge it will
be absolutely impossible for me to con
tinue this special and very important work.
To enter into this question thoroughly
to seek out and uncover the facts and in
formation necessary to render a reasonably
practical verdict would require a great
amount of time and close application, not
only in my office, but away from home in
other cities, where a personal observation
of other railway systems and conditions
could be studied.
It would no doubt mean at times the
engaging of technical advice from experts
who have made this important question a
life study.
All this can only be done at considerable
expense to the city, and knowing the pres
ent condition of the city finances and the
growing expanse of municipal operation
and the faint, prospect of relief in the near
future, I would not feel justified In recom
mending the expenditure of money for this
purpose.
The importance of this far-reaching
matter must not be overlooked or lightly
passed by, hence I might suggest that the
council as a whole should consider this
Important enterprise.
I thank you for the confidence placed
In me, but must ask you to consider my
withdrawal from this committee as abso
lute and final.
