OREGON 1G Victory Gives McGraw His Second World's Championship Team In New York. LAXDIS FAVORS SEVEN UAMES. NEW YORK. Oct. 13. Federal Judge Landis. commissioner of baseball. In a statement tonight aid he would recommend that a teven-gime series, instead of nine, be played next season. NEW YORK, Oct. 13 (By the As sociated Press.) World's champions. 1921 the New York National league baseball club. The Giants won by defeating the Yankees in the eighth game of the world's series at the Polo grounds today. The American league champions died fighting hard in a classic twirl ing duel between their pitching ace Waite Hoyt and Art Nehf. the Giants' star left-hander. However, they lacked the necessary punch, the National league team taking the era me bv 1 to 0 and the series, five games to three. The Giants' victory gives Manager McGraw his second world's champion ship team. The New York Nationals, seven-time pennant winners under McGraw. captured the world's title against the Athletics of the American league In 1905. but although winning the bunting five times since, they ' have been baffled every time until this year, twice bowing to the Ath letics, once to the Red Sox and once to the White Sox. Giants Gamely Come Back. This year with a National league entrant that had shown its high class by coming from behind late and beat ing the Pittsburg Pirates to the flag, the world's series told a different mory. Off to a poor start through loss of the first two games, the Giants gamely came back, speedily evened up the sries, then with but a slight letup while getting their second wind, rounded Into the stretch with a rush and pushed through with three straight victories to their final triumph. In every victory except to day's they came from behind. Thus one of the best and most hotiy con tested series In the history of the sport was won cleanly and In the final analysis decisively by a club whose sameness and all-around abil ity will be generally conceded. As for the underlying reason for the success of the McGraw men, re ports may differ, but there seems lit tle cause to doubt that the most widely propounded opinion will be that It was because of a preponder ance of high-class pitching. The series showed but two of Manager Huggins' twirlers capable'of pitching winning ball Mays and Hoyt while the Giants put forward a trio of mas ters in Douglas, Barnes and Nehf. Yanks Make Hard Fight. Outhit by the Giants In nearly every game and by many points in the series, the Yankees nonetheless made a hard fight by their smartness in manufacturing runs out of scant material and the superb work done by Mays and Hoyt In six of the eight battles. Their championship craft went down with flag flying and to night their loyal supporters were tempering their condolences over the loss of the series with congratula tions on the showing the Yankees made In the first world's series' title series a New York American league team has earned the right to compete. Winning of the final game was due to the superb pitching of Nehf against a moundsman to whom he previously hVd twice lost the deci sion. Allowing the American league batsmen but four hits, all singles and three of them coming with two men out, the crafty southpaw again and again turned the Yankees back in order or baffled their determined ef forts to put across the solitary run "for which they were struggling. Hoyt Performs Well. Hardly a whit less creditable was the performance of Hoyt, the Yankee youngster who twice before had taken Nehf'g measure in close bat tles. Hoyt was in trouble In several innings, but except in the fatal first, when the Giants scored their only tally on two bases on balls and an errors he worked himself "out bril liantly, once with a fine running catch by Fewster to help. Toward the end he was going stronger than ever, retiring the Giants in order In the eighth and ninth. The game, won by the Giants In the first inning, was probably saved for them in the ninth by as brilliant a fielding performance as has been seen in many a day. One Yankee had been retired In the final frame. This one was Babe Ruth, again In uniform, but confin ing his activities heretofore in the game to the coaching lines. Yankee fans picked up hope and cheered wildly as the bambino stepped up to bat for Wally Plpp. He made a valiant try, but his Injured arm had taken the power from his swing and the best he could do with Nehf's puzzling delivery was to -.ground weakly to Kelly. Ward Draws Walk. Aaron Ward was more fortunate. He waited out Nehf and finally walked. Frank Baker, again In the lineup In place of the Injured McNally, came next. With the count three and two he met one of Nehf's offerings square ly. It shot toward rightfleld, skim ming the ground far to the left of John Rawllngs. It looked- like a sure hit, and with Ward legging it for third. It promised to put the Yankees in a favorable scoring position If it got by. But ' it did not pass. Throwing himself at the skimming sphere, Rawllngs reached out and clung to it with his left hand. Rolling over and transferring the ball to his right hanA Rowlings made the throw to JOlIy at first while still on the ground, getting Baker by several feet. Then Kelly, with a lightning like throw shot the ball to Third Baseman Frisch. A cloud of dust flew -up over third as Ward slid. From the midst of it Umpire Quig ley's form emerged, his right arm flung forth, motioning the runner out. The double play had been com pleted, the third Yankee had been re tired, the game was over and the Giants had won the world champion ship. Giants ftcore Wlthoat Hit.

THE Oregon-Idaho game- In Port land tomorrow will not be the only important Saturday foot ball clash on the Pacific coast. Sev eral other combats are listed that will make the major elevens bustle to win. So far all the big teams haye got by unscathed In their preliminary matches. That was easst enough in most cases, for early-season oppo nents usually are handpicked. The Oregon Aggies, to be sure,- drew a tough assignment against Mult nomah and may thank their stars that the score ended a tie, at 7 to 7. But mostly the games so far have been practice contests. Not so from now on. What hap pens tomorrow on several gridirons will be a real Index to the strength of various coast conference teams. For example, the California-Pacific fleet game at Berkeley. Cali fornia isn't facing an easy mark In that Pacific fleet eleven not, at least, if it is anything like the Pacific fleet team that played the Multnomah club here last fall. An erroneous report had the fleet team defeated a couple of weeks ago by Nevada, 14 to 13 and California played with Nevada last Saturday, 56 to 6. But the real Fleet-Nevada score was in favor of the fleet, 11 to 13, which wasn't particularly im pressive, it must be admitted. Still the fleet has had a couple of weeks since then to prepare against California, while the Bears have lost the great Brick Muller, who suffered a broken leg against Ne vada. Saturday must have been a bloody day on the Berkeley campus, for besides Muller, Englebrightson, the end who replaced him, went out soon after 'With a broken shoulder and then Eels, a half-back, was car ried off with a broken ankle. Three smashed-up athletes in one game is rather a heavy prise to pay. Stanford takes on the Olympic club of San Francisco, which held Cali fornia to a 14-to-0 score. The Olympic club apparently has an eleven this season something like that of the Multnomah club. It is composed of ex-varsity stars who figure to give any varsity team an awful fight. Last year the Olympic club beat Stanford, so the Cardinal eleven Is particularly anxious to wipe out that black mark. The only line the public so far has had on he Washington State team that will try to wrest the coast cham pionship from California in their big game here two weeks from tomor row, was its game against alumni and all-stars at Pullman Saturday. It seems to have been a slaughter of the varsity innocents by the old boys, who won 31 to 7. The wily Washington State coach, Gus Welch, who was a great star in his day at Carlisle, played half and helped hu miliate his proteges with some re markable open-field running. But he had plenty of help in the bloody. work In such old-timers as Roy Han ley, Bangs and others. Of course a game like that doesn't mean a tremendous lot, but it is not above suspicion that Coach Welch is tickled to death that it came out as it did. Washington State took a 40-to-0 licking from California last year, due mainly to dissensions on the team, but then came back .wonderfully by winning 28 to 0 from O. A. C. and 21 to 20 from Nebraska. So there was quite a chance that the boys might have become too con fident of their comeback ability. That 31-tb-7 score against them by the old-timers should take all that out of their heads and make them work. Anyway, tomorrow's Washington State-Gonzaga game at Spokane should Indicate something. Gonzaga, with a Notre Dame coach and using the Notre Dame coaching system, ap pears to have a whale of a team. It defeated the College of Idaho last week 36 . to 0, and Jhe College of Idaho, though a small-school team, had lost only one other game in four years. FOR IDAHO BATTLE First-String Lineup Working Out Every Night. HARD CONTEST EXPECTED Chapman, Rhcinhart and Dc Armond to Be on Bench During Game In Portland Saturday. Oregon Agricultural college bucks Willamette university at Salem Sat urday in a game that will be Inter esting in itself, but even more so because of the line It should give on the relative strength of Oregon and O A C. Willamette held Oregon to a 7-to-3 score two weeks ago. Roy Bohler. the Willamette coach, who is a brother of Doc Bohler at Washing ton State and George Bohler at Wash ington, seems to have done a lot with the material he has at hand. The University of Washington suf fered a tragic upset, 18 to 14, from Montana State university last fall. Now Montana plays Washington again In the Washington stadium tomorrow. Last year Washington had no coach. This year she has Bagshaw, and that means a lot. On dope, Washington ought to wipe out what happened last season, and then some. A mistaken impression has gained ground that a new and high schedule of prices has been set for the Oregon Idaho game here tomorrow. This Is not correct. Jack Benefiel, graduate manager at the University of Oregon, emphasizes that the good old 31.50 scale will prevail for grandstand seats and $1 general admission, which in cludes also a seat In the bleachers. This will be the first big intercol legiate game Portland has seen in two years, so there ought to be a big attendance. Oregon has held a jinx over Idaho for the last 14 years, but this season, under their fighting coach, Tom Kelley,.the Idahoana have developed a hard-rushing, aggressive eleven that won last Saturday from the 9th army corps team. 6 to 0. And Oregon has been slow at Btarting. bo the ancient Jinx may go by the boards, and then again it may 'not. All indications point to a spectacular combat. grounder to Pipp. Bancroft walked on five pitched balls. He held first while Frisch was fouling out to Pipp and went to second as Hoyt. with the count 2 and 3. walked Young. There was a short protest by Hoyt on the fourth ball with which the younir twirler Insisted he had cut the plate. With Bancroft on second Kelly sent what looked like an easy grounder to Peckinpaugh. With the third out in sight, however, Peckinpaugh let the ball get through him and Bancroft. starting from second as the ball was hit, scored easily. Rawllngs, besides making the most spectacular fielding play, led his side at bat with two doubles and a single. None, how ever, influenced the result. Crowd Smallest of Series. The game was played before the smallest crowd of the series. The morning was cloudy and raw, al though the skies cleared early in the afternoon and the atmosphere warmed somewhat. There was tumult and shouting aplenty and a last, overpow ering exultant yell from the Giants' supporters as the final dazzling play was flashed. The hitting battle of the Meusel brothers, in which the price of a fam ily Thanksgiving dinner was the stake, was won by Emil of the Giants. His batting average was .345 and that of Bob .200. In 29 times Emil scored four runs and made ten hits for 17 bases. Bob, in 30 trips, scored three runs and made six hits for eight bases. Each stole a base. Hoggins Has No Alibis. Declaration that "I have the great est baseball club In the world," was made by John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, a few moments after his team had won the world's base ball classic. "And unquestionably the gamest," he added. Miller Huggins, leader of the van quished, declared his men had no alibi and gave the Giants full credit It was a wonderful series, he re marked, but the Yanks simply were unable to hit consecutively. Mctiraw, nervous with excitement. was swamped by admirers as he left the clubhouse. Artie Nehf, the pitcher who led the Giants to final victory, shed his uni form as though it were an ordinary day. His only comment was that of gladness that he could go home. Tears on Hoyt's Cheeks. A few yards away across the little backyard of the Polo 'grounds where the clubhouses are located tears were dropping down the boy ish cheeks of Walte Hoyt, the pitcher who twice defeated the Giants and on whose shoulders was placed the burden of stopping their rush today. He stopped their rush, but a com rade failed him In a critical moment and the glory of having his name on the honored roll of pitchers who have won three games in a titular series was denied him. Both managers agreed It was the greatest world series played. And so did the president of the National league, John A. Heydler, who tossed his presidential dignity to the winds when the Giants closed the series with a dazzling double play. Heydler Happy Man. "Hurrah for the Nationals," he shouted, waiving his arms. "We've been waiting a long time to see the Giants at the top of the ladder." he said. "I do not know how to express my happiness. The old National league is ahead again after a bitter fight in which they proved game to the core." Several thousand rooters waited outside the Giants' clubhouse to greet their Idols. A few were allowed- to go inside. One of these was Mas. Julia Wilson, gray-haired mother of the Giants' mascot, an ardent rooter for Me Graw's club many years. "I've waited 20 years for this day," she cried, gently patting each of the champions on the back. "I just told Judge Landls he was a darling. He brought us luck." Game Wanted Badly. Another of the few who got inside was "Wee Willie" Keeler, the great est hitter of them all back in the days when ball players wore mus taches. "Give all the credit to Jennings and the-players," McGraw said. "I can't say too much for Nehf, Snyder, Barnes, Douglas and the other boys. I have the greatest club in the world, and unquestionably tho gamest. Never was my heart so set on anything as upon winning this time. I wanted this world's championship more than I ever wanted anything in, my life."

Each night this week the .first-string Oregon varsity football lineup has been en gaging Idaho In fierce scrimmage. Not literally, of course, for the big game between the two takes place on Multnomah field in Portland Saturday. But the battling has been as rough and as little quarter has been asked or given as if it really were Idaho. Idaho in this case has been the third-string varsity players the low ly "scrubs." Using the favorite Idaho formations of the last several years, this scrub team has been trying to break through the varsity defense In nightly practice. Ploy la Fast. This so-called Idaho team has been coached by Brick Mitchell, who dubbed his boys "Idaho," he explained, to make the varsity fight. Well, it has made them fight. The nightly scrap has been beautiful to behold. And when it slackens in the slightest the raucous - voice . of Mitchell is heard urging it on in selected football lan They fight when Brick gets after em. They can't help themselves. The seriousness with which Coach Huntington and his assistants regard the Idaho battle Saturday is evi denced by the severity with which they have been driving the team in this nightly practice. More than an hour of scrimmage each afternoon and an equal allotment of skull prac tice is driving football into the green men. Hard Battle Expected. "We are not underestimating the strong team Idaho has this year,' declares Huntington. "With some of our best men hurt and greenhorns in the places where the need of old heads is only too plain, we know we have a hard battle ahead of us. But Oregon will have the fight." Huntington, Spellman and Mitchell have been keeping the boys on the gridiron until darkness, whipping fight, fight, fight Into them. Bill Hayward, the veteran trainer, is do ing his share to instill It into them, too and Bill is some fight instiller. Mitchell believes he has dug up two football gems from the obscurity of the scrub lineup. in Campbell and Digman. Huntington's desire to di vert some of the weight of his heavy line Into speed caused Mitchell to experiment with his ends. Digman and Campbell showed themselves so fast and quick to learn that, although light, they may get their chance Sat urday. Chapman Out of Game. The injury to Chapman's foot in the Pacific game will keep him out of the Idaho struggle, Bill Hayward said tonight. With Reinhart on the bench and no possibility of his getting into the fray, the quarterback situation has narrowed down to Ward Johnson, who piloted the team most of the game against Pacific. Hayward has built special pads for Reinhart'g shoulder, and he has been In a suit for two nights, but will be useless in the coming game. He has a broken collar bone and some torn ligaments. The coaches hope, though, to have him in shape for the Cali fornia game, October 22. DeArmond, fastest halfback on the squad, will not play Saturday either, according to Hayward. He sprained a knee in the Willamette game and has been out for practice only two nights. Though Rud Brown has a broken nose, he is likely to start at guard aerainst Idaho. He starred in the Idaho game last year, making both Oregon touchdowns, one on a recov ered fumble from mid-field. Franklin Runs Up Its Total Tally In First Quarter Slade Makes Long Run. With only six regulars In its line up. Franklin high school defeated James John high yesterday afternoon on Multnomah field by a score of 10 to 0. Franklin made its 10 points in the first quarter. After that the lit tle fellows from James John braced and held the Quakers even. Catching the opening kickoff on his own 4a-yard line. Slade of Franklin, ran through a broken field to his opponents' three-yard line before he was downed. Here the Saints held and Franklin lost the ball by inches. Naxt time the Quakers got the ball, however, they ran from James John's 40-yard line to the three-yard line, and failing to make yardage in three plays. Slade made a difficult drop kick from the 15-yard line for the first three points of the game. He tried two more drop kicks later with out success. Three minutes after the first score Peake caught a 30-yard pass and ran to James John's 10-yard line and on the next play carried the ball over. He kicked a goal. Here James John took a decided brace and held Franklin at par. Ser ber. Saint's halfback, made several spectacular end runs and intercepted five Franklin passes near his own goal. James John tried many trick plays and made yardaere several time and on each occasion It was don through Serber's end running. With Hobson and Thomas nntri for playing semi-pro ball and Kyser, Kelly and Kenny on the hospital list, the Quakers were demoralized. Their line held in the pinches, though, and the backs with Holmes and Slade leading the attack made yardage often, but the fight that characterized their game with Washington was gone.

GIANTS TAKE GONFALON (Continued From First Page.) cut a corner the lefthander gave the Trappe mauler two chances to walk, which Baker refused to accept. The count finally moved to "three and two" when the Maryland slugger on the next pitched ball slashed one to right. Ward raced for second on the play with a quick whirl for third when Rawlings. the star of the day, cut over at top speed, knocked down the hit and with a wonderful throw from an overturned balance nailed the slow moving veteran at first. In the midst of this bewildering play Kelly spotted Ward on his headlong way to third and by a peg as swift and as true as a. rifle shot nailed the flying Yank as he dived in a last savage leap for the bag. Double Play Closes Series. This double play closed out the series, bringing to Rawlings and Kelly the deserved acclaim of stands and bleachers who had been lifted to the tip of their toes by the tenseness of the day's big moment. Just how Rawlings ever worked his fluttering feet so far towards' right on Baker's clout is beyond all understanding, for even as it was only a final des perate lunge brought him in the path of the whistling blow. It was the great play of the day and the most important of the series, for if he had failed to reach the ball the Yanks would have had runners on first and third with only one out and Schang, the dangerous, at bat. As it was the Giants picked up the scattered threads of the dope by win ning through greater speed and a stouter defense. They won even against pitching that carried them for 18 innings without a tally that was earned. They won through fine pitching on their own side of the wall and because the Yank defense at last began to break and crumble after a gallant stand for the first five games. Yaaka' Morale Broken. Leading the series at the time the crippled Ruth passed from the field, the Yanks from that moment sub sided into a slow, heavy-footed ball club with its morale dragging in the dust.' In the last 25 innings' play the once-famed murderer's row, minus Ruth, hammered over just one run. Held in complete check before the great pitching of Barnes, Doug las and Nehf, murderer's row, minus Ruth, looked more like a flock of ten pins waiting in the path of the roll ing ball. They couldn't hit a lick from the top of the batting order down the line. With Ruth out it be came a Giant procession, but even with Ruth intact the better ball club won. The club won that had the greater speed and the greater steadi ness upon defense, once it got warmed up to the work in hand. The Yanks, starting with an unexpected burst of speed, soon lapsed bacU to their an cient ways. They had in Mays and Hoyt two of the greatest pitchers of the game. They had in Hoyt a star who held the Giants to one earned run in 27 innings, one of the great performances of all time. But with their own abject weakness on attack In the last three games against Barnes, Douglas and Nehf, their sole chance for victory rested upon their ability to back up brilliant pitching with unbroken support. Defense Too Spotty. It was here they faltered and wav ered and finally crashed as the series drew on to its close. No team that Is weak at bat and spotty upon de fense at critical moments can hope to be carried safely through, even by the greatest pitching that ever flashed from a mound. No one arm that ever hung from a shoulder was ever strong enough or sufficiently dexterous to make up for weakness at bat and unsteadiness in the field. The Giants earned their triumph, not so much by any slashing display of power upon attack, but by greater defensive steadiness un0er fire. They were more alert at the finish for any open chance. They were surer when steadiness was needed In the closing drive. Unable to earn runs in the two final days, they were at least alert enough to profit by opposing weak ness, quick enough to leap deftly through any open breach. Consider the final game alone. Peck's fumble on a simple chance gave the Giants their run. Rawlings' miraculous play on Baker's poke broke up a Yankee rally in the nick of time. Nehf was saved by a brilliant stop. Hoyt lost by a simple fumble. There you have the narrow margin between victory and defeat. Huggins Is Outnumbered. Outside of these elements there is still another that enters in any final summing up. Huggins fiad two star pitchers. McGraw had three. Huggins had Mays and Hoyt to match Douglas and Nehf. But Huggins had no one left to match Jess Barnes who earn time came in with a deficit to cover, matching third-grade pitching with a winning brand. It was not a case of being outguessed, but of being out numbered when it came to a matter of winning reserves. The hardest blow that overtook the Yanks was the last minute defection of Ward and Peck who all through the series had been ball playing magi cians on every type of difficult cJiances. To see the series and the winners end dribble away through gaps opened by this great pair was merely one of those subtle Ironies mac iaie now anq tnen forces upon existence to prove the fickleness of fame. Three Giant runs trickled In through their three misplays with Mays and Moyt Doth deserving a kinder fate. Hoyt never rose to greater heights than he reached today as he must have realized near the end that he was tackling a hopeless fight. Hoyt Never Wavers. Against this thought he never wavered. It was the final test of his greatness, as sure a test as if he had come to his third triumph. NeW. in the final act, had all the stuff in the world. His speed was baffling. His curve ball cracked like a whip. But he was shy at times on control, a weakness the Yankees helped to correct by hitting at any thing within a foot of the plate. They refused to wait him out at times that might have led to at least a run. So it came about that after a ragged start the Giants rallied and won five of the last six games. They won three straight to prove their better fitness In a pinch. They found two pitchers they couldn't hit. but the others were open targets for their busy bats. Minus Ruth, the Yankees lost but little time In diving for the bottom of the shaft. When the bam bino passed out there was nothing to it from the Yankee side, but thoughts of the losers' end, which is no part of an atom when it is recalled that 270,000 persons cracked all records by paying in more than 1900.000 to see the eight-day show, setting a mark that will not be equalled soon. So far as final equity is concerned it was more than fitting that the Giants should win as they happen to be the best ball club in either league, so far as all around value goes. In Young. Burns and Meusel they have the top outfield of the game. In Bancroft and Frisch they have two Infield stars, while Rawlings at sec ond held his pace with the best on the field. They had greater pitching quality and quantity combined than the Yankees had, far greater speed and greater defensive ability in the closing testa The machine after all came through. Came through In spite of the stout-hearted, strong-armed, cool-headed pitching of Carl Mays and Waite Hoyt who remain the two main Yankee heroes and who deserved a better fate. m TEETH AT PAY THEY DRAW Wordy War Ensues When Percentages Are Figured.

HILL CADETS PLAY TODAY FOREST GROVE TO BE MET OX MULTNOMAH FIELD. Xewly Devised Plan "Wonderful Success for Commission; Fight ers Share $1028. BY DICK SHARP. The armory was an appropriate place for the meeting held there yes terday to pay off the boxers who fought on Wednesday night's card under the auspices of the Portland boxing commission. The fistic battles Wednesday night were nothing to the war of words yesterday afternoon. The newly devised percentage plan was a wonderful success for the box ing commission. But for the fighters it wasn't so successful. Many and loud were the squawks. When Dr. E. C. McFarland, Joe Woods and Captain Harry Hansen sat down to figure out for the boys what they would get there ensued a wail ing and gnashing of teeth that could be heard a mile. The card drew a house of J2228. That is, after the war tax was sub tracted. First, commissioners lopped off 20 per cent of the S2228, said per centage being the commission's share. Then the bills were gathered together and added and It was finally figured that the overhead expense of staging the card was $755. That Included $250 for the armory, 100 for the matchmaker, $50 for the referee, and various and sundry sums for advertising, printing, gloves and help. This $755 was then lopped off of the original $2228, along with the commission's 20 per cent. What was left belonged to the fighters and was theirs to split. Fighters Divide C103S. The sum left was $1028, which was split as follows among the battlers: Gorman and Mishkind, 53 per cent; Bromeo and Willis, 23 per cent; Zim merman and Burns, 12 per cent; Webb and Dunn, 8 per cent; and Far rell and Burns, 4 per cent. The total sum for Gorman and Mishkind, 53 per cent of $1028, was $544.84.' Of this amount, Gorman re ceived 67 Vi per cent, while Mishkind got 37 hi per cent. This is what the boys received, splitting the percentage 60-60 in each bout but the main event: Joe Gorman, $.140. Abe Mishkind, -04 Clair Bromeo. Ills. Stanley Willis. 11S. Xe&l Zimmerman, $01. George Burns, $iil. Frankle Webb. $41. Joe Dunn. $41. Dick Farrell. $20 .10. Jack Burns, $0.50. The receipts summarized were: $2:r'S total sate receipts. $ 44 -0 per cent for commission. $ "too overhead expenses. $102S paid to fighters. CommliNloa Mnkea 9445. The boxing commission made $446 and it is said that use of the armory was donated, which would take $260 off the overhead and add it to the $465. However, the $250 was listed J as overhead and the righters were paid off on that basis. The under standing was that the fighters were to split the receipts after 20 per cent for the commission and the overhead expenses had been taken out. Staged under the plan used last sea son, last night's card probably would have lost $500 or more for the com mission. Gorman would have demand ed at least $500 and perhaps $760 for his services. Mishkind would have re ceived twice as much as he got on the percentage plan. Nearly All Squawk. Nearly all the boxers registered a" squawk when It came to paying them off. Gorman was incensed, according to those who were present, and threw his check to the floor. Had the house drawn better the fighters would have received plenty. As It was they didn't get half what they thought they would. If the commission can get fighters to work on the same plan hereafter everything will be fine and dandy. But Matchmaker Hansen may experi ence some trouble lining the boys up on that basis the next show. How ever, it Is the only thing until the commission is out of the hole. At the rate of Wednesday night's card the commission should be completely out of debt in two more shows.

Your Gordon hat is not woven, nor spun, nor press ed, nor molded, nor stuck together there is neither warp nor woof, twist nor plait in its structure. It is a multitude of fur fibers "felt ed" together. Each fiber is a tube formed by a succession of little cups, one set over the other, with the rims pro jecting. When these fibers are properly brought togeth er they interlock and their interlocking or felting, en couraged by processes it would take too long to de scribe, forms the hat in one piece. A number of grades of fur are used in this process and the goodness of your hat depends largely upon the sort of a mixture it is made from. The best obtainable mixture is used in making the Gordon hat. This accounts for its matchless quality and. envi able reputation.
