Commerce was no match for the
Washington eleven yesterday and lost
to the heavier east side school by the
score of 24 to 0. . The light Com
merce eleven, with barely enough
players out to form a team, played
a hard-fought but losing game
throughout.
Washington would have piled up a
larger score but for the defensive
playing of "Peanuts" Pander. Com
merce quarterback, who time after
time stopped the Washington backs
after they had broken through the
Bookkeepers' first-line defense.
Washington used straight football
entirely, with the backs smashing
through the line and employing off
tackle plays for yardage gains. The
game was slow, the players being
handicapped by a heavy field.
Coach Tegart's men scored one
touchdown in each period, the at
tempt at the goal kick failing each
time.
Kenneth Ritchey scored the first
touchdown from the ten-yard line af
ter Washington had blocked a punt
on Commerce's 30-yard line and the
east side school's backs had worked
the pigskin from the 30-yard line to
within ten yards of the goal. Haynes
missed the goal from a difficult an
gle.
Waahlmrton Threatens Again.
Washington threatened to score
again just before the whistle blew
for the end of the first quarter, when
they had the ball within eight yards
of the Bookkeepers goal line, but
Commerce lineman broke through and
spilled the Washington carrier for a
loss. On the next play the Com
merce team held and took the ball
when Washington failed to make the
necessary distance.
Johnson of Commerce attempted to
punt under his own goal posts but
fccott of Washington broke through
and blocked the kick. Left Knd Hitch
cock recovered the pigskin behind the
Bookkeepers goal line for Washing
ton's second score. Hitchcock dropped
the kickout and the Washington team
was deprived of the chance at the
goal.
Fullback Hurlburt made the third
touchdown for Washington after he
had intercepted a pass on Commerce's
25-yard line and carried the ball to
withing nine yards of the goal line.
On the next play the husky fullback
went over for the score. The kickout
failed.
Hurlburt Scores on Ran,
"F'at" Hurlburt scored again in the
last period after getting through the
Commerce secondary defense and gal
loping 30 yards for a touchdown
Hitchcock failed to lift the ball over
the bar for the extra point.
Hitchcock attempted a place kick in
the fourth quarter but Bastain, the
Commerce center, broke through and
smeared it up.
The entire Washington team played
together well and gave the carrier
good interference. The fumbling
that has marred the playing of the
Last bide team in the past was absen
yesterday. Coach Tegart kept his
first team, with the exception of one
change, in the game until the final
whistle blew.
"Peanut3" Pander was the star of
the contest, the small Commerce quar
terback stopping the onrush of the
Washington backs time and again
with hard tackles. Bastain, Fehse,
and Grider also showed up well for
the losers.
For Washington, Myers, Hurlburt,
Ritchey and Edlund were all consist
ent ground gainers. King and Haynes
played a good game on the line for
the winning team. The summary:

Cadet Outfit May Surprise Chest j
Double J Warriors.
Irom all appearances the Hill-
James John game scheduled for this
afternoon on the Multnomah gridiron
should be a closely contested and
hard-fought affair. The Cadet eleven
is showing a big improvement each
game and may spring a surprise on
the double J quud from St. Johns.
James John has been given the edge
over Hill by many of the dopesters by
reason of the Saints' victory over
Franklin last week. Hill also won
its game last week when it got over
the Columbia university eleven by
the score of 20 to 0.

T cannot even be said that a follow

most of the best putters strike the
ball with the follow-through action
there are some excellent players, such
as Taylor and Herd, on the other side,
who chip their putts habitually. It is
only possible to give the most general
counsel as to putting. First, it may
be said that the make and shape of
the club is of no importance so long
as it is well balanced. Second, al
ways aim to get into the hole and do
not be contented with a vague try
to get somewhere near it.

BEAVERS CULLED TO
MINOR LEAGUE MEET
National Association to Hear
Coast Problems.
J. C. EWIIMG TO ATTEND
Future Method of Drafting Players
to Be Among Prl telpal Points
of Consideration.
BY HARRY M. GRAYSON.
Formal notice calling attention to
the annual meeting of the National
Association of Minor Leagues was re
ceived at baseball headquarters yes
terday. Secretary John H. Farrell
declares that there are many points
to be considered and the information
which drifted north from the confab
of the coast league' directors at San
Francisco leads one to believe that
Secretary Farrell is right. J. Cal
Ewing, president of the Oaks, was
chosen as the Pacific coast league
representative, although Charley Gra
ham, manager and part owner of the
Seals, will also be in attendance.
The national association's gathering
will be called to order at Springfield,
Mass., on November 11, Armistice day.
What it really means to the minors
is a week of baseball sessions and
the most interesting "get-together" in
years. The most important subjects
to come up for discussion are the re
lation of the minor leagues to the
majors and the future system of
drafting players.
Because of the many points to be
considered Secretary Farrell urges
every club to send a delegate to con
fer and legislate for the good or
the national pastime and the interests
of the national organization. Since
1914 and up to the season just closed
minor leagues throughout tne coun
try had been up against it. and things
reached such a climax that in 1918
but one minor league went through
with its schedule.
Many of the smaller organizations
have been idle since the world war
started. Although the past season
was not a dazzling success for the
wee boys it was the start of a revival
of minor league baseball and in itself
was highly satisfactory to the mag
nates. " Interest in baseball In the off sea
son was never so strong as it is to
day, this being largely due to Cin
cinnati's world's series victory and
to the fact that the farther away the
fan gets from war the more his love
for the game grows, and the stronger
becomes the optimism of the club
owner.
Most of the minors loov upon 1920
as the great comeback year, the sea
son that will see business as usual
at the old stand and with growing
nterest in the game. The 1919 season
was a big success for tne leagues
doing business, but, not until all the
class A, B and D leagues get busy
will .it be possible to say that old
King Baseball has staged a complete
comeback.
Judge William W. McCredie, presi
dent of the Portland baseball com
pany, did not, as was expected, return
from San Francisco yesterday, but
Manager Walter McCredie was In
town, having come in to purchase a
plow or something for his little farm
just south of the city. Judge Mc
Credie is expected this morning with
the hot dope from the San Francisco
convention.
"
"During the war our league and
many others were hard hit," said Boss
Walter yesterday. "Naturally, as did
many other circuits, we cut the sea
son short in 1918k but we are now in
our old time form and so will most
of the tiny leagues be next season.
Minor league interest, with the war
over, will be stronger than ever, and
a good live meeting at Springfield
will start things right.
"The smaller circuits have all the
time in the world to get busy for
next season, and I'll be a much sur
prised man if the minors do not do
more business than they ever did."
concluded the Herculean Beaver
chief.

building from Secretary Farrell rela
tive to young Mr. Dailey. It will
be remembered that Joe quit the club
soon after joining it late in the season
over salary disagreements with Judge
McCredie. The lanky chucker did not
appear well on the occasion of his
few starts and it is likely that the
Macks will let him go.

PROTEST ENDS SCHEDULE
Difficulty Over Playing or Mollctt
by Subchasers Results In
Winding Up Play.
BT HARRY EDDAS.
Water polo at the Multnomah club
will be played to a finish Saturday
r.ight, when the Beavers, piloted by
I Captain Ole J. Hosford. meet the Dol-
phlns, headed by Captain Kuehn, to
decide the championship title.
The sudden end of the season was
decided upon when the Dolphins and
the Sub-Chasers called off the game
scheduled for Monday night on ac-
count of the Dolphins protesting the
playing of Deo Mallett at goal for the
Sub-Chasers. Mallett. one of the best
goal tenders in local water polo cir
cles, failed to sign as a water polo
player. When teams had been chosen
and a few games played he appeared
on the scene and was drafted by the
Otters as -a goal tender for one game.
He later was taken under the wing of
the Sub-Chasers and played without
protest until the affair of Monday
night. With only a few games left
and the championship race between
the Dolphins and Beavers. It was de
cided to sound taps on the season Sat
urday night.
The final tilt will start at 8 o'clock,
with Hosford's Beavers doped to win.
Hosford chose a strong team and thus
far has met defeat but once. Captain
Kuehn's Dolphins are out for the tttle
and promise a good game of polo.
There will be no charge to club mem
bers. The championship team of the
league will then meet the Portland
Rowing club for the championship of
the city, the game to be played in con
nection with the national junior div
ing championships to be staged at
Multnomah club on the night of No
vember 23.
Eugene Fields, noted diver of the
Los Angeles Athletic club, a recent
visitor in Portland, has been taken
into the Spokane Athletic club and
will dive in its suit hereafter. This
information was conveyed to Multno
mah club officials when his entry in
the rational junior diving was an
nounced yesterday. It Is doubtful if
Fields will be able to represent the
Spokane club on account of the rules
of the Amateur Athletic union barring
an athlete from competing for two
clubs within six months. Whether or
not Fields has competed within the
six months specified Is not known lo
cally, but will be in a few days. In
any event, he can dive unanacneu.
Fields is a welcome aaaition to
aquatic circles of the northwest, of
fering competition to the divers of the
various clubs in the Pacific Nortnwesi
association.
Walter Mills, crack diver of the
Oakland Athletic club, has signified
his intention to enter the national
junior event. It was expected that
Mills would be among those to com
pete here. He is a wonderful diver
and will be remembered by many for
his exhibition of fancy diving in con
nection with the women's national
diving events at the Multnomah club
in 1918.
"Brownie" Webster, polo player of
Multnomah, who was expected to play
leading part in the championship
water polo team that Multnomah will
send to the 1920 water polo cham
pionships in the east, will not be eli
gible to represent the club. There is
ruling in the Amateur Athletic
union manual forbidding an athlete
playing on a college team and a rec
ognized club team during the college
year. This will bar Webster, who is
Captain of the Stanford university
water polo team. It will be a set
back to Multnomah, as he will be a
hard man to replace. There is prac
tically no way in which to get around
the ruling, and gloom pervades water
polo circles.
Rowena Crowley, the California
girl' who won the national A. A. U.
ile swim for women on Sunday at
Neptune beach, finished her first sea
son at competitive swimming. Miss
Crowley won the championship under
very unfavorable conditions, having
to combat a high surf and an ebb tide
running at an angle to the course.
This season she has won two second
place medals and a first in national
events. Miss Lillian Snodgrass. win
ner of the Golden Gate swim for
w omen, was the favorite at the start
of the race, but finished a poor fourth.

Right Off the Bat.
GUARDED intimations that Walter
Maranville of the Boston Braves
will be found playing shortstop for
the New York Giants next season lead
to the conclusion that the oft-reported
transfer of Rogers Hornsby to the
Giants is not to be. Maranville is
quoted as saying it is his ambition to
play with the Giants.
. The New York National league club
is to extend the grandstand double
decking into left field and possibly
in right held, so as to increase the
Polo Grounds' seating capacity by
15,000, giving a total seating capacity
of 45,000. Business done last year in
dicated there Is demand for such
additional room for fans.
Later reports are that Walter (Rab
bit) Maranville's dislocated shoulder
doesn't stay In place as it should and
that the doctors fear it never will be
well and strong again. Maranville
suffered his injury cutting monkey
shines in an exhibition game played
in Massachusetts about the time the
season closed.
Manager Pat Moran hopes to yet
realize on the heavy investment the
Cincinnati club made In Charley See.
for whom the Rochester club was paid
$10,000. Moran says he will make a
pitcher out of See. The youngster
started out last spring as, a boxman,
but was played in the outfield by
Rochester because of his hitting abil
ity. There may be two McCarthys man
aging teams in the American associa
tion next year. Joe is pretty sure to
stay at the head of the Louisville
Colonels and it Is said Alex may suc
ceed John Ganzel at Kansas City. It
would be quite a novelty, two man
agers of the same name, both second
basemen and both veterans of the
game.
m
Ty Cobb did not show up for the
big game for the championship of the
oil fields, played at Oilton. Okla.. on
October 12, owing to a new baby hav
ing arrived in his family, but Walter
Johnson did and pitched for the Oil
ton team. He struck out 18 batters
on the rival Drumrlght team and won
his game, 1 to 2, he two runs off him
coming in the ninth inning.
If all reports are to be believed
there will be a flock of minor leagues
organized in the middle west this
winter. Bob Reed and Joe Carr, with
headquarters at Columbus, are said
to be organizing one to take in Ohio
and Pennslyvania cities and perhaps
reach over into Indiana. Various
league promoters seem to be crossing
each other's wires without any sys
tem of harmony whatever.
The Kitchener club of the Michigan-Ontario
league which may be
an all-Canadian league next year
has re-engaged Jack Beatty as its
1920 manager- Early action was
taken be'eause of the efforts of sev
eral other clubs to secure his services
as manager and first baseman. Prac
tically all the Kitchener players have
been reserved for next year and
Beatty will have a pretty fair lot to
build on.

TOUGH BUTTLE EXPECTED
CKIVKIISITY OF WASHINGTON
COACH DRIVING HIS MEN.
Oregon Eleven Feared by Hunt and
Continual Warnings Against
Over-Confidence Preached.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON.
Seattle, Oct. 28. (Special.) In prep
aration for the tough battle expected
when the Oregon eleven meets Wash
ington in Seattle Saturday, Coach
Hunt is driving his men without
mercy and .preaching the truths con
cerning overconhdence.
The Washington mentor fears Ore
gon and doesn't deny it. And he
deems it unfortunate that his team
overwhelmed the light Whitman
eleven by that 120-to-0 score. The
time is recalled when Doble's team
journeyed to California, gained a 72-to-0
victory, then, swelled with over
confidence, nearly lost the return
game on its home gridiron.
"I do not attribute the walk-away
to the excellence of the Washington
team." declared Coach Hunt. "The
Whitman eleven was smothered by
weight. While I am satisfied with
the line and its work in the game last ,
week. I don t know whether it will
be able to tear holes In a defense like
Oregon's.
Bill Steers, quarterback for the
lemon-yellow, is the - man who will
be watched in the game Saturday. He
is feared In Seattle and the heavy
Oregon backfield is roped to tax the
stonewall qualities of Hunt's men.
One important addition to the pur
ple and gold varsity squad was an
nounced yesterday. By his work in
the Missionary game "Red" Hyndman
has won a berth as a first string full
back. Waetcher is another who is
assured of a place. Though . he weighs
but 155 pounds, that fullback has won
the coach's favor by his speed and
low-running ability. Dave Logg.
varsity plunger, is still out of the
game, suffering with an infected jaw
caused by a kick in scrimmage.
Frank Townsend, captain of the 117
freshman team. Is a likely choice to
fill the left halfback position on the
first squad. The fight is still on for
the quarterback Job. Abel and Will
iams are the contestants', with Abel
holding the edge of favor. He is
heavy and tall. Williams, though
smaller in stature, possesses the most
speed.
