1 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN,' TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1921 14 RUTH'S ACT SCORED ! YANKEE OWNERS Landis Cannot but . Meet De fiance Firmly, They Say. STATEMENT IS GIVEN OUT Players Made Mistake in Petition ing for Modification of Rule, Is View Taken. NEW YORK. Oct. 17. Regret that ome Yankee players had violated the rule prohibiting world series contest ants from appearing in post-season exhibition Karnes was expressed In a ntatement issued tonight by Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Colonel T. L. Hus ton of the New York Americans. Asserting that the rule had been vi olated so defiantly that Baseball Commissioner Landis had no alterna tive but to meet the situation firmly, the statement continues: This rule appears to be unjust in many respects, but as long as it ex ists It should be obeyed. The players made the mistake in not petitioning for a modification of the rule." Ruth, with Bob Meusel and Bill Piercy of the Yankees, played in an exhibition baseball game at Buffalo yesterday in defiance of a formal warning from Judge Landlg that the rule prohibiting world aeries con testants from appearing in exhibition games prior to the opening of the next big league season would be en forced. Ruth, moreover, announced he would play again today in a game scheduled at Elmira, N. Y. I still think I am in the right and Judge Landis is wrong," Ruth said. "I see no reason why this rule should be invoked against us when Sisler of St. Louis and others who shared in the world's series money are playing exhibition games unmolested by Judge Landis." IiAXDIS not to act at oxce Judge's Only Comment Is That All That Goes Up Must Come Down. CHICAGO, Oct. 17. No immediate action in the case of Babe Ruth will be taken by Judge K. M. Landis, the baseball commissioner said up, on his arrival here today from New York. . He has a number of thing9 to attend to before the matter of the great swatter's defiance of his order con cerning exhibition games can be con sidered, the judge said. "In the meanwhile," said the Judge, "law abiding baseball players need have no fear that the law will not be enforced. The law of gravitation still is In force and what goes up is bound to come down." The Judge rode in the engine cab of the Twentieth Century Limited from New York to Albany yesterday after noon, getting first-hand impressions of an engineer's life. He refused to comment on the request of two North western roads that he mediate be tween them and their employes in the event a strike Is called. All Remaining Games Canceled. OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 17. Owing to Judge Landis' decision in the case of Babe Ruth, the game scheduled here between the all-Americans and the all-Nationals October 26 was can celed today upon instructions of L. K. Galbreath, director of the tour, who telegraphed that all remaining sched uled games of the players had been canceled. KIMRODS GUESTS FOR HCXT Ex-Residents of Harrisburg Gather for Opening of Bird Season. HARRISBURG. Or., Oct. 17. (Spe cial.) Opening of the China pheasant season yesterday saw many ex-residents gathered here at the Invitation of local sportsmen to enjoy a day of good hunting. The local farmers are exercising their rights this year to insist upon permission before hunt ing and the highways In all direc tions from town are dotted with "no trespass" notices. Several of the largest farms are embodied In the game preserves and notwithstanding the fact that birds are more numerous than for many years the hunters who do not have a stand-in with the ranchers are often out of luck in finding a good hunting field. Game Warden Hawker and Secre tary Brown of the state commission, were instrumental in causing the arrest of some of the home boys yesterday who attempted to open tin season without first procuring licenses.

WATKINS, CHAIRMAN OF CITY BOXING BODY, RESIGNS Lack of Harmony Denied Professional Game Here Owes Much to Retiring Member of Commission Sport Kept Clean. BY L. H. GREGORY. FRANK E. WATKINS. who al chairman of the Portland boxing commission has had supervision over professional boxing here since the professional sport first was legal ized by city ordinance four years ago, and later by state law, has handed his resignation to Mayor Baker. Under no circumstances, he said yesterday, will he withdraw It and he has urged the mayor to accept the resignation and appoint his successor at once. That his resignation is due to lack of harmony between himself and re cent appointees to the commission Mr. Watklns denies flatly. He says it Is Impelled by desire to give more time to his business, and because his duties as northwest representative of the American Automobile association, the official national automobile racing body, take all his spare time. "For the last six months," said Mr. Watklns, "1 have wanted to retire from the commission, but I didn't feel like doing it as long as the commis sion was so much in debt. Now that its Indebtedness is almost closed out, and with the new percentage system for cards apparently so successful, I can withdraw without qualms. And believe me, it will seem good to be free again from all the grief and worry that membership on the com mission Involves. I have had four years of it and that is too much. I want a rest." Professional boxing here owes much to Frank E. Watklns. His Insistence on keeping the sport clean has saved the game from the scandals so fre quent in many cities. Mr. Watklns' influence has been as a rock for clean boxing. It was because of his knowledge of boxing, his own reputation as an ama teur athlete and his stand at all times for clean sport that Mr. Watklns first was made chairman of the municipal boxing commission back in the six round days four years ago. About a year later the legislature passed the ten-round boxing law and Mayor Ba ker insisted that Mr. Watklns retain his post as head of the new commis sion formed under this law. The original six-round boxing com mission was composed of Frank E. Watklns, chairman; Walter B. Honey- man, secretary, and Dr. Sam Gellert, George Henry and Max Houser. Mr. Houser resigned soon after and Ed Higgins succeeded him. When the commission was reorgan ized under the state boxing law Mr. Wa'.kins and Mr. Honeyman remained as chairman and secretary. The other members were Dr. Gellert, Mr. Hig gins and Plowden Stott. Mr. Watkins' resignation now leaves Dr. Gellert as the only remaining member of either of those first com missions. And Dr. Gellert has more than once expressed the Intention of resigning also and resting up from the labors of membership. The commission as it now stands, minus Mr. Watkins, is composed o( Dr. E. C. McFarland, secretary; Dr. Gellert, Joe Woods and Frank Loner gan. The preliminaries of the Pacific coast conference football season are over. All eyes now are turned to the opening conference clashes next Sat urday, with attention particularly fo cused on the Oregon Agricultural college-University of Washington game at Corvallls. From all appearances the Oregon Aggies this season have the team the Corvallls school has been awaiting for many a disappointing year. What it did against Willamette university Saturday 54 to 0 indicates that Coach Rutherford has developed a powerful scoring machine. Though Aggie elevens of the past often have, Deen stalwart on aeiense, iney nave suffered through lack of scoring abil ity. This Oregon Aggie-Washington game will be the final test of the Aggie eleven. If it cannot surmount Washington, of course it has no hope of the coast championship. But if Rutherford's men can upset Bag shaw's new Washington team, then the O. A. C. chances will be bright, ROY G RATTAN WIXS FEATURE EVENT ON PROGRAMME. 2:05 Pace Captured, Winning AH Three Heats and Purse of $2500- Best Time 2:03 'A . ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 17.

Alblna started scoring in the first quarter on a long forward pass and several line smashes. Hlmes, Burns, Hoffard and White of Alblna starred equally In making yardage. Johnson and Thompson, Alblna ends, prevented Vancouver from making many long end runs by spectacular tackles. The Columbia university juniors (Indeed. The Aggies do not play Cali fornia this season, but they do play three elevens that California also plays Washington State, Oregon and Southern California. If nither Cali fornia nor O. A. C. is defeated through the conference season, then their com parative scores against Washington State, Oregon and Southern Califor nia wlir Just about determine the championship. Last year the Aggies were handi capped by lack of backfield men. This season they have so much material that Coach Rutherford has been using two complete sets of backs, and one set looks Just about as good as the other. The other scheduled ' conference game for Saturday is between Oregon and California at Berkeley. Unless Oregon improves vastly over her form against Idaho here Saturday, Cali fornia will win by a big score. Then Washington State plays Idaho at Pullman. Although this Is only a northwest and not a Pacific coast conference game. It will give a mighty good line on what the Pullman layout really is. Washington State generally is picked to win by a comfortable margin. Stanford doesn't open her confer ence season until the following Satur day, but takes on ithe strong Pacific fleet eleven this week end. California defeated the fleet team last Saturday, 21 to 10. Both Yale and Princeton have at last swung into line on numbering their football players and Yale has gone the idea one better by erecting a big bulletin board, on which- will De put the numbers and identifica tions. That's a big Improvement over having the numbers identified only in the programme, where to find them and single out the players the spec tators must turn the pages back and lortn and take their eyes off the game. Why not a similar bulletin board and number identification system here? We respectfully refer the tiD to Jim my Richardson at O. A. C. Jack Ben- eflel at Oregon, Fred Carlton at the Multnomah club and Darwin Melsnest at Washington. Yale's decision to number her play ers was announced recently by Tad Jones, head coach. This season and hereafter Yale players will be num bered In all their games. Including those with Harvard and Princeton. The same applies as to Princeton, and me xiger coacnes have demonstrated their sincerity by coming out with huge figures, 14 inches high, that can be seen half a mile. Harvard remains the only member of the big three that still declines to number her players. e Speaking of numbering, a decided reform is needed In the northwest. There ought to be a penalty against a coach who announces one set of numbers for the game and then has his players, or some of his players, change Jerseys and numerals before the game starts. That happened here Saturday, after Tom Kelley, the Idaho coach, had announced one set of num bers for his players. When the game started It was Im possible to identify the Idaho players from the published lists. One rea son was that the Idaho numbers were bo small that It required a telescopy to catch them in the first place. But when they were caught they were found to be all wrong. Kelley had pulled the old trick of switching jer seys. This Is decidedly unfair and un sportsmanlike. The theory pre sumably is that the opposing team will be handicapped if it tries to pick out any certain man from his nu moral, though it long ago was demon strated that numbers make little dif ference that way. The opposing play er s can lay for any certain man as easily whether he is not numbered as whether he is. The sufferer is the spectators, who is told that such and such a number will be worn, then Is unable to pick out the players in action because the numbers have been switched all around. Poor stuff. held the heavy Vernon Park team to a scoreless tie Sunday on the Vernon park grounds. Vernon outweighed Columbia five pounds to a man. Co lumbia held the Vernonites several times for downs. For game's with Columbia, call Lee MacDonald, Wood lawn 1411. Coach Cosgrove's Highland football team crumbled East St. Johns Sunday on the Jefferson high school grounds, 48 to 0. The Highland backs ran through the St. Johns line at will. The Highland midgets and the Dun iway Park Juniors played a scoreless tie .on the Jefferson high grounds Sunday. This was the first game for the midgets and the fourth for Dunl way Park. Highland would like to arrange a game with any out-of-town team weighing not more than 140 pounds, for Thanksgiving or Armis tice day. Call Manager Frison, Wood lawn 713. The Dalles team defeated Dufur Saturday at Dufur, 7 to 0. The Dalles scored early in the first half, but after that the teams played on a par. Bob Saunders, quarterback, scored the only touchdown for his team. Wright. Lamborn and Bolton made many spectacular plays for The Dalles. Captain Shreeves was the individual star for Dufur. Hlllsboro high is out for the cham pionship of that section of the state this year and made a good start Fri day by defeating Oregon City high at Hlllsboro, 15 to 6. This team is one of the fastest Hlllsboro has had for years. Although the field was wet and muddy, members of both elevens made long runs. Hornlcker and Black were the offensive and defensive stars for Hlllsboro. The Mllwaukle high football team was defeated by Hubbard high Satur day, 7 to 6. The game was played In Mllwaukle. Hubbard outplayed Mil waukie, but costly fumbles prevented the winners from scoring several times. Coach McCormick will take his Hubbard eleven to West Linn Friday for a game with the high school eleven of that town. BALL EXPLODES; SPOLLS KICK Defective Football Bursts When Passing Goal Bar. MOOSEHEART, 111., Oct 17. A per fect drop kick from the 25-yard line was spoiled by a defective football, which exploded just as the ball sailed over the goal bar, in a game here be tween Mooseheart and Morris high schools. Right End Durbin of the Mooseheart team dropped back to the 25-yard line and attempted the drop kick. The kick was perfect, and the ball was passing the goal bar when it exploded. The referee gave Durbin another ball, but this time the player missed goal. Phone yonr want ads to The Orego nian. 'Main 7070.

WEATHER NOT FAVORABLE Many Bag Limit In Multnomah, but Most Hunters Go South Around Albany, Salem. The opening of the pheasant sea son Saturday brought out thousands of hunters. F. M. Brown, chief dep uty game warden, yesterday esti mated that 10,000 hunters were in and about the Willamette valley. Lane and Benton counties had most birds and most of the shooters in those sec tions bagged the limit. Shooting was fairly good in Wash ington county, but in Clackamas, Ma rion and Polk counties the birds were scarce. The weather has not been too favorable for hunting, which may account for the rather poor shooting In the three counties. Many Nimrods got the limit in Multnomah county, but most of the local hunters went south toward Sa lem and Albany. The large grain fields between the two cities attract the pheasants. In and about Arlington, in eastern Oregon, wild goose shooting has been extremely good, said Mr. Brown. In many counties east of the Cascades geese are plentiful and many hunt ers have shot their limit on geese alone. The federal migratory bird law forbids anyone to have in possession or in cold storage any migratory brlds geese or ducks ten days after the duck season closes. This means that no one is permitted to have in possession ducks or geese after Jan uary 25. Although this is open season for bob white quail, the game wardens say few of them have been killed. Most of the hunters preferred pheas ants. The dee" season west of the Cas cades closes Thursday. East of the Cascades the season remains open until November 1. Only a few of the local Nimrods went after deer last week. Most of tbem shot for ducks and pheasants. The game wardens are having more trouble this year with youngsters than In a long time. More than 100 boys under 18 years of age were ar rested Sunday for hunting without a license or hunting within the city limits. The game commission confiscated two dozen .guns. Included in the number were some double-barreled Russian riflee taking cartridges large enough to kill elephants. As their owners were supposed to be pheasant hunting, the game wardens are wondering what would be left of a bird hit by one of these bullets. Among the violators were two 13- year-old lads. The juvenile court will have its Lands full the next couple of days disciplining the law-breakers. Duck shooting was good Saturday and Sunday on the lakes that were not dry. Many lakes on Sauvles Island were dry, despite the rain, and to fill then, water pumps were used. The heavy rains of the last few days brought many birds from the coast. Porter Yett, Phil Froude, George Hennlng and Dad Moist, shooting at one of the lakes on Sauvles island, had a good day, each getting away with the limit. Several other Nim rods on adjacent islands also bagged the limit. As Saturday and Sunday were partly cloudy, duck shooting was much better than the week be fore. SOCCER GUIS HUE FUST CANADIANS AXD PEXIXSUIiA WIN SUNDAY GAMES. Clan Macleay and Cameron Teams Go Down to Defeat In Slash ing ' Contests. The Canadian veterans and Penin sula were vlctrious in Sunday's Port land soccer league contests. The vets scored a l-to-0 victory over the fast Clan Macleay aggregation, while Peninsula defeated the Camerons, 5 to 0. Despite the absence of three of its last players, Sam Duncan, Percy GIbbs and Archie Duncan, Peninsula had things pretty much its own way through the game. The substitute players delivered the goods. The Peninsula-Cameron game at Columbia park was a little late in starting, because several of the Cam eron players were late in arriving. Once the game did get under way the fans were treated to plenty of action. Peninsula scored in about 10 minutes from a corner kick, Mlddleton regis tering the first goal. Ten minutes later Tommy Gray put In a long shot which was headed through by the opposing back. Just before half time Ed Kowalski scored the third goal. The Camerons began to do some pressing the second half, but Kewell, In goal for Peninsula, was ready for all shots and saved some In wonder ful form. Peninsula lay back the first 10 minutes and then began to retaliate the pressing. Ferguson started with the ball at the half-way line and ran it through for the fourth score. Shortly afterward he regis tered another goal. Ferguson placed the ball between the posts for the third straight time, but the score was disallowed for offside. The Veterans-Macleay game was bitterly contested. The teams were fighting for the leadership of the leaa-ue and played top-notch soccer. The one score was all the Vets could edge over, but It was enqugh to win. BALL FCND LARCENY CHARGED Manager Says Money Kept Because Captain's Mother Tried to Boss. Aimer Largey, arrested by Deputy Constable Watkins yesterday on the charge of larceny of $50.85 from the Woodstock Baseball company, of which he had been manager, Is sa'd to have admitted to officers yester day that he took the money last May because he was angry at the team captain's mother for trying to "run the team." Because the secretary of the club did not give him any money in time tc take advantage of an offer of new suits for 865. Largey left town with tbe money when he received It to "cause someone else to worry" and "get even" with the captain's mother. It is asserted. The bargain in suits past, outfits would have cost $200, for which the money was totally Inade quate. Largey is reported to have asserted that he kept the money wits ; tbe knowledge and encouragement or other team members. Under-Class "Mix" Held. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, Oct. 16. (Special.) The sopho more . class won the annual under class mix Saturday by a 77-to-56 score. A near riot occurred when the sophomores brought the freshman president upon the field. The senior police, however, maintained order and quelled the disturbance. The mix was held on Klncaid field, which was cov ered with several Inches of water, and was said to have been the "squarest" ever staged. The main event which the first year class won was the cane rush. AGGIE GR10DEHS ON EDGE SQUAD TRAINS STRENUOUSLY FOR SATURDAY'S GAME. University of Washington Team Said to Be Hard Problem for Corvallls Eleven. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallls, Oct. 17. (Special.) Secret practice, ghost balls, new trick formations and evening talks, is the order of events for the Aggies until Saturday when they play the Univer sity of Washington here In their first coast conference game. After each game this season Coach Rutherford has promised that he would produce a new team for the next football match, and so far he has more than kept his promise. Just what strategy will be used against Washington Is known only to coaching staff and players. It is certain, though, that the team will not play straight football against Washington, but that Ijtherford will introduce several new, plays. Stanley Summers, who has been out since the Chemawa game, returned to practice today. He looks good and his return will add strength to the back field. Richard Garber, who has not been in uniform since the start of the season also will be ready to Play against Washington. Winnie, who has been playing fullback and halfback. Is out for a few days with a bad ankle, but may be in shape for the Washington game. Assistant Coach Rathbun. who has seen Washington in action in two games this season, says the Aggies will have a hard time to win against the Seattle varsity. He considers Washington one of the strongest teams In the northwest conference. James J. Richardson, general man ager of student affairs at the col lege, says many ex-students and alumni members will be here. He ex pects that more than 10,000 persons will see the game. Special parking facilities . have been provided for autos of those who drive from Port land. The entire team r.ow looks good, unless It is the ends. While Mc Fadden is going strong at left and Taggart at right end, there is no one to substitute for McFadden. Garlty and Loughrey are showing well at right end, so with Taggart this wing Is pretty well taken care of, but ex cept for McFadden, they all lack ex perience. With the return of Garber and Summers in the backfield it may be possible to use Gill at end. The line-up against Washington probably will include Powell, full back; Summers and Miller, halfbacks; Kasberger, quarter; Stewart, center; Locey and McKenna or CrowelU tackles; Chrlstenson and Taylor or Clarke, guards, and McFadden and Taggart, ends. Winnie, Tousey, Hughle McKenna, Hagerdorn, Johnson, Garber and Jessup will substitute for the back field; Garlty, Gill and Loughrey at end; Giebtsch and Heyden, center, and Mickelwalte, Dalgh, Heyden, Clarke and Crowell for guards and tackles.
