TITE 3T0RXIXG OKEGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 3, 1921 YANKEES WILL RELY Of BATTIFaG POUCH Faith Placed on Hammering Down Giants' Pitchers. BOTH CLUBS GOOD, GAME J let; raw Has Best Machine, Out bide of Pitching, lie Has Bver Entered in World Series. BY GRANTLAND RICK. NEW YOrtK. Oct. 4. (Special.) For the first time since Matty's arm was young, a horde of New York fans will move upon the Folo grounds tomor row without any fear that some battle tribe will rumple the home club Into a shapeless mass. Most of these same fans have seen Philadelphia, Boston or Chicago report and promptly start pushing the Giants Into the gravel ditch, but these somber, sordid days now belong to the moth-eaten past. The Mackmen hit the eoapy chute six years ago and have never left the cellar class aince. The White Sox are only a notch above the Mack men, and 'he Bed Sox also are trav eling second class well out of the scrimmage. So now If the Giants are to lose their fifth successive cham pionship their scalps at least will not be borne away to distant wigwama for the three clubs that have beaten them before are floundering on the' roof. Fan Pyrhloa;r Frature. The fan psychology of the world erles, which-opens tomorrow, will be one of its leading features. Day by day there is no such wide division as the Sox and Cubs of 1!'06 encountered with two distinct clans worked up Into a high fever over south side or west side success. As the 40,000 spec tators take their places tomorrow afternoon, while Mays, NehfandToney are warming up, no one can say how many of these spectators will be sup porting the Giants or pulling for the Yankees. While both will have supporting voices raised to lusty clamor, another large section will be distinctly neu tral until It comes to the case of Ruth. Ruth lifting a home run over the walls or Ruth striking out will bring them the main thrill, but from these neutrals, as well as all Yankee back ers, you will hear only shrill, plain tive, bird-like cries of distress when Giant pitchers, deciding that discre tion is the better part of bravado, start issuing intentional passes to the sultan of slug: Passing Ruth in a pinch will be smart baseball on stated occasions, but It will not be a popular g-esture with 60 per cent of the multi tude. New York all through today made Babel sound like a listening post in No Man's land when it came to chat ter of p'eking a winner. We spent no small part of the day In long lines leading to both Giant and Yankee of fices and before the day was over we began to wonder how London and Paris evr got in on the series for no such masses of humanity ever came from New York alone. Fen Have Hunch. Insofar as the fans themselves were concerned, few seemed to have any definite hunch, the main Idea seemed to be a toss up with the Yanks slightly favored In case Ruth felt in pummellng mood. There were Others In those ticket stalking lines who thought the Yanks were banking too heavllly upon one man and this Is no small talking point in favor of the Giants. If Ruth Is poling 'em great for the Yankees. But suppose he Isn't? Against this one outstanding star, who best rides the series as Herman J Colossus once best rode a narrow world, McGraw Is sending- a well rounded, evenly balanced machine Into action that can suffer a lapse or two and still present an organized front. Serira Mny Go Eight Games. On form the series should go to eight games, and If it does more than 300.000 people will have paid In more than 1900.000 by way of break ing all past records with a lot of per sons and a lot of dollars left over. Neither club seems strong enough to win five out of seven games since neither club can command that much sure-fire pitching. If the series goes to eight games the admission record will stand, until they begin expanding ball parks to proper sizes, giving most of those Interested some outride chance to pick up an eyeful. On four successive occasions now the Giants have skidded badly at some spot along the world's series path. They were up against stouter stuff when they gave way before the Athletics, but highly spotted play wrecked their outlook against the Red Sox and White Sox. They have few" survivors from these moldy championship days and their case this week may be entirely different. But they must break a long-standing hab it If they are to play up to their top season form throughout the week. Yankees Rely on Batting. The past performance world series chart on the Yanks is a book that has yet to be written. No one knows how the Yanks will act In a world series, as they managed to refrain for IS years from ever getting that far along in baseball society. They are merely a ball club that believes it can hammer its way through any pitch ing now blocking the road, falling back upon power iff an age where power has been one of the ruling fac tors of the game. Dempsey, Guilford. Mrs. Mallory. Miss Leltch, Tilden all exponents of power are sufficient proof that the punch has come into its own. And none of these exem plified sheer power more than Babe Ruth. So far as the clubs are concerned they are more evenly matched than any two world's series machines we have ever seen. Both are good, game uphill fighters, hanging on with all they have and both have a sufficient enrollment who can lay up against the ball, using a bat largely for this purpose. The Giants have the best machine possible, outside of the pitching, they have sent to an October champion chip, and If they lose it will hardly be through any Infield or outfield weakness. Huth Must Be Ilurdlrd. With them It Is mainly a question of how Nehf, Toney, Douglas and Barnes hurdle the Ruth-Meusel combination day after day. Neither Mays nor Shawkey Is so efficient today as they were back In the early run of the race, so the Yanks must depend more upon their punch than upon their pitching unless the pair are revitalized and back with their former stuff. One can argue back and forth for a fortnight without getting very far In the way of any final answer, which makes it Just as well to wait until the 40,000 open up their chorus aa Art Nehf slips across his first fast one and the box score supplants the dope. Pal Moore Outfights Garcia. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 4. Fal Moore, Memphis bantamweight, was awarded the referee's decision in an eight-round bout here last night with Frankie Garcia. Los Angeles. Moore forced the fighting in the last four rounds, although his work was not as fast as usual. Both men took con siderable punishment. The decision was unpopular with Garcla's friends and police were called to end a free-for-all fight among some spectators when It was announced. Aberdeen Card Arranged. ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct. 4.(Spe cial.)

WEAK SPOTS STAND OUT WHITMAN ELEVEN PRAISED FOOTBALL MACHINE IIEJyD BEST IX SCHOOL'S HISTORY. Washington Frosh Coach Says Sundodgers Will Find Mission aries Hard Team to Beat. SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 4. (Spe cial.) That Whitman college will send the strongest football machine In the history of that institution to Seattle next Saturday to take on Coach Bagshaw's stalwarts, is the opinion of R. L. Matthews, coach of the university freshmen, who Is back from Portland, where he witnessed the battle between the Missionaries and Multnomah Amateur Athletic club last Saturday. The Whitman men lost by a 14 to 7 score. It is Matthews' belief that Whit man possesses the strongest small college eleven in the northwest and he expects the varsity will have a much harder battle on his hands than were the soldiers last week. Coach Borleske, the Missionary mentor, has rounded out a formida ble combination with ex-high school stars from almost every section of the state. His lineup includes Shepherd, Comrada and Harrison, Seattle boys. Harrison, who was responsible--for Ballard High's gridiron triumph last fall. Is playing right guard for Bor leske and has the kicking task all to himself. The Washington lineup likely will ' be altered a bit from the eleven which took the field against the sol diers. With the possible exception of a shift in the two wings in favor of Gustafson and Ferry, the forwards probably will remain the same. Bagshaw had two sets of backfields running signals today. He alternated between Eckmann, Wilson, Quass and Hall and Hill, Zeiel, Langhorne and Hall. Hall undoubtedly is the logical choice for the quarterback position. The return of Leonard Zeiel to the field has boosted Bagshaw's back- field stock by the addition of an ex ccptlonal kicker and a heavy, fast back who knows how to run inter ference. Zeiel had been laid up with stiffened leg muscles. Quass Is another sure bet to start against the Missionaries at full. The ex-Gonzaga star is a heavy, consist ent line plunger and moves fast. The center of the line lacks weight, as was proven in Saturday's game. Sandy Wick, assistant coach, and one of the best centers the university ever boasted, busies himself every af ternoon in an endeavor to locate a big. powerful lineman who can pass the ball and play the center hole. He is working on Monroe and Lemon at present. Both possess weight but lack the experience to make perfect passes to the backs. Willamette Game Bares Defects. Line Falls to Hold and Back field Is Slow-Moving. IS IOCAXj FIGHTER TO GIVE VADEIt POUNDAGE. Head liners at Milwankle Expected Put T'p Regular Battle for Show Tonight. to Danny Edwards will be giving away little weight to Freddie Williams, the New England feather champ. In their 10-round bout at Milwaukle to night. Edwards thought William would make 125 pounds for him, and so did the Milwaukle officials. How ever, Freddie Is a champ in New Eng land and doesn't make weight for anybody. He scaled 127 pounds yes terday afternoon and probably will weigh that much when he steps in the ring. Edwards has tipped the beam as high as 124 pounds, but in the best of shape should not go much over 121. Matchmaker Kendall announced last night that the boys would weigh In at the Olympic gymnasium at 2 o'clock this afternoon. These youngsters ought to put up a regular battle. Williams has held his own with some of the best feathers In the east. Edwards leads his class on the coast, and will give Williams a thorough test. The remainder of the card promises a night of entertainment. The Jack Edmundson-Gordon McKay scrap will bring a pair of sockers together. In the special event Abe Mishklnd will clout it out with Young Sam Lang- ford. Mickey Dempsey also is to swing In action against Frankie War ren, who used to fight at the old Rose City Athletic club. Eddie Wilson and George Webb will clash in the four round curtain raiser. Roy Sutherland, whoi fought some slashing battles here last season, Is going like a champion in California. After knocking over some mediocre boys in Oakland he beat Teddy O'Hara twice. The other night Sutherland subbed for Joe Dundee on a moment's notice In Vernon and licked Young Fapke. Papke had defeated Buch well-knowns as Al Grunan and Mike O'Leary. Bert Forbes of Seattle, thought to be more or less through, did a come back in Calgary the other night. He knocked out Ray Rivers of Chicago in the fourth round of a ten-round bout. Dave Shade will not box Mickey Walker at Madison Square Garden Friday night. He will mix on that date,vbut his opponent will be Georgia Ward, welterweight. Ward is rated a first-class boy. Happy Littleton of New Orleans will box Johnny Howard of,New Y'ork In the main event. Joe Burman, Chicago bantam, meets Midget Smith, while Jack Sharkey and Jabes White will meet In the fourth ten-round bout on the card. 4 00-Pound Bear Killed. ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct 4. (Spe cial.) A 400-pound bear, believed to be the first of the season, was killed yesterday by P. A. Powell of Aber deen, on the Humptulips river. The animal was so large that the com bined efforts of four men were re quired to take it to Powell's jar. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Oct. 4. (Special.) Coach Huntington has read the riot act to his football players for their poor showing in the Willamette game Saturday. Unless there is quick improvement, he intl mates a shakeup as revolutionary as the famous one by Bezdek back in 1915, following Oregon's defeat by Washington State, 28 to 0. That shakeup was the turning point in Bezdek's career as a coach and it made the team. Bezdek replaced his beefy, slow-footed first team men by light, active fellows from the scrubs. The outcome was the famous Oregon eleven of 1916. While Huntington doesn't want to have to do anything as radical as that, he has made it plain that the men who keep their places for the Idaho game at Portland, October 15, must show more in thisand next week's practice scrimmages than they have shown so far. Line Performs Poorly. The Oregon line performed poorly In the Willamette game and the back- field didn't distinguish itself, either. The line failed to hold time and again Twice Spike Leslie, called back from tackle to do the punting, had kicks blocked on him when Willamette for ward's got through. The fine didn't make good holes for the backs when Oregon was on the offensive, and the backs themselves much of the tim were slow in getting away or charged standing up. Big Tiny Shields on wbora Huntington was depending so much as a back field star, couldn't eeem to bend over in the first nan, but hit th Willamette line standing as straight up as a sentry on guard duty. He got down better in the sec ond. However, Huntington Is Just as well pfeased that the boys didn't show too much against Willamette, and con siders the game valuable because it has brought out the weaknesses of the eleven as nothing else could have. From now till late next week, when scrimmage will be suspended and the squad will shove off for Portland to play Idaho in the first conference game, the head coach and his assist ants will work, work, work to polish off the rough spots. They will labor particularly to perfect the defense, which seems woefully weak. Idaho is almost sure to be trained to more of an edge than the Oregonlans, for the Oregon battle is one of Idaho's big games of the year, while Oregon must take it more slowly because of sev eral big games later on. Defense to Be Perfected. For that reason the coaches expect Idaho to show much more in attack than Oregon can hope to develop by that time. Consequently much de pends on the tightness of the Oregon defense. The Oregon coaches have a wholesome respect for the ability of Tom Kelley, the Idaho mentor, who took Idaho defeat by Oregon so much to heart last year that he prom lsed Huntington after the game that he'd beat him 100 to 0 this season. In one respect the outlook is de cidedly black for Oregon, as Bill Rlnehart, first string quarterback, seems to be out of it, certainly for several weeks and perhaps for the season. Rlnehart suffered a cracked collarbone, a wrenched shoulder and a badly twisted neck when thrown hard by a Willamette tackier while carrying the ball in the fourth quar ter. So it looks as if the Job of pilot ing the team will fall on young Hal Chapman, quarter for the freshmen last season. Chapman did well for the fresh men and seems to have the knack of pepping the team along, but is very Inexperienced. Tom DeArmand, halfback, is out of practice for at least a week from a knee injury Saturday. Pacific university plays Oregon here Saturday. The coaches regard this as a practice game.

DEAL, N. J., Oct 4. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The danger of the woman's golf champlon&hln of the United States being cs.pt ur erf by an Englishwoman Increased today, when three representatives of Great BrLtadn survived the first round of match play of the national tournament in Impressive style at the Hollywood golf club. Miss Cecil Leltch. champion of Great Britain, France and Canada, won by 8 and 7, eliminating Mrs. R. H. Hammer of Nerw York. She had an easy opponent, but her trip to the turn in 41 against a headwind in creased respect for her Babe Ruth like driving power. The greatest upset of the day was the defeat of Miss Glenna Collett of Providence, rto had tied for the qualifying medal. by Miss Edith Leltch, Bister of the British champion, 3 and 2. Mies Ool- le-tt's poor putting and one shot into a ditch were to blame. The closest match was between Mrs. Latham Hall of England; who had tied Miss Collett in qualifying, and Mrs. W. A. Gavin of New York, which went to 20 holes. Mrs. Hall won as the result of Mrs. Gavin un thinkingly tapping her footprints in a bunker with her club before she had played out- Mrs. Gavin did this in the qualifying round and it cost her two strokes. Today It meant the match, as she lost the hole under the rules. Miss Alexa Stirling of Atlanta, de fending chamipion, had no trouble 'n surviving. Of the other American favorites, Miss Mildred Caverly of Philadelphia had the greatest difficulty, defeating Miss Bes9ie Fenn of Portland. Me., at the 19th hole. A tee shot out of bounds by a hair at the 18th possibly cost Miss Fenn the match, as he was 1 up after playing the 17th. The eummary in the order of the draw: Miss Edith Leltch, England, defeated Misa Glenna Collett, Providence. 8 and 3.

WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla, Wash., Oct. 4. (Special.) The Whit man football team will hold only four workouts preparatory to meeting the University of Washington Saturday at Seattle. Coach Borleske was far from satisfied with the showing of the team against Multnomah. One of Borleske's cause? for gloom is the injury sustained by Walther, varsity center, who suffered a broken bone in his leg in the first three minutes of the Multnomah game. The injury will put him out for the rest of the season. Walther turned in his suit today, following the doctor's orders. His place probably will be filled by Harrison. Lack of backfleld men is worrying the coach. Tilton, phenomenal half. de-;ls certain of one of the halves. BY GEORGE COWNE. The programme for the Oregon state golf championships was given out yesterday by R. A. Stewart, chair man of the tournament committee at the Portland Golf club, where the 1921 title will be decided. Stewart was appointed chairman of the committee to handle the tourna ment last Thursday after C. W. Myers resigned. The new chairman's I first act after consulting officials of the Waverley Country club, Tualatin Golf club and the Portland Golf club, was to change the tournament date from October 10-15 to October 12-15. This will cut the meet from six to four davs. rhilrmfln filAnra,. h.TUu.. .1.1. -..Ill' be more popular among the entries than a full week of golf. Weather conditions must be considered, and so must the fact that Portland golfers have been pretty well fed up on the sport here this summer with the Pa cific northwest and other tourna ments. So the tournament committee decided to hold the affair down to as few days as possible. Play Is Shortened. To squeeze the play into four days It was found necessary to shorten the length of play in some of the rounds. The qualifying round next Wednes day for men will be 36 holes, and for the women on the same day 18 holes. Instead of qualifying 32 in the cham pionship flight there will be only 18 for the men's play and eight for the women. Those who do not reach the qualifying round will be grouped in flights of 16 according to their quali fying scores. There will be additional flights of eight each for the women. On Thursday will be played the firBt and second elimination rounds for the men. The first round of match play will be in the morning and the Bppnlul rntind In tha BftarnAnn T3,th elimination rounds will be over 18 ! holes. I Semi-finals In both the men's and women's championships will be played off Saturday. The men's semi-finals will be over 36 holes and the women's 18 holes. Thirty-six-hole final matches will be played Saturday for the men's title, while the two final ists among the women will travel 18 holes. Many Entries Expected. More than 100 entries are expected from the Portland Golf club, Waverley Country club and Tualatin Golf club alone, while entries are expected also from Washington and British Colum bia. The course is in fine condition, so the state tournament should pro duce some great golf Inasmuch as many of the leading players of the city are certain to enter.
