Saturday, October 27. Multnomah vs. Whitman, at Port land. Washington vs. O. A. C. at Seat tle. Spokane vs. Montana, at Butte. The Multnomah-Whitman football game of next Saturday promises to be the best early-season game ever played on Multnomah Field, and those who love a fust, exciting contest will welcome the struggle between the stalwart "sons of Marcus" and the local clubmen. Whit man is coming to Oregon with a fine rec ord, and the wise ones say that Multno mah must play fast ball in order to win. Whitman made a good record last season. The Walla Walla collegians played a tie game with the University of Washington and defeated Pullman, but lost to Idaho, the champion college team of the Northwest, by 9 to 0. This year's Whitman eleven is heavier, faster and in all respects better than the aggregation of last season, and Coach Baird has them trained for the battle of thrir lives. Kalrd is an old Northwestern 1'nivcrsity player, and is a punter of con siderable ability. He has taught Whit man to play a fast, open game, with plen ty of kicking, and other spectacular fea tures that make football interesting to both players nnd spectators. Nearly all the members of last season's team are in college again, and with these veterans as a nucleus around which to build his team, Baird has developed an eleven that will give some of the larger colleges a hard battle for championship honors. In Cap tain Frank J. Spagle. Whitman has one of the cleverest ends in the Northwest, while Perringer and Dimmick are tackles that can play In any company. Spagle and Dimmick played with Pacific Univer sity a few years ago. and Perringer is holding down a tackle position for the lifth consecutive season. The center trio Galbreath. O'Neill and Philbrook are all veterans of last season. Philbrook is another old Pacific University man. He Is a brother of "Big" Philbrook, who put up a spectacular game at guard on the Willamette University team last season. He is a big fellow and plays a hard, con sistent game. Among the men who are playing behind the Whitman line are Old right nnd Dutcher. halfbacks of last sea son: Rigsby. fullback in 1903.' and Cook nnd Schmidt, the little quarterback from Spokane. Schmidt was field captain for Whitman last year and played a splendid game throughout the entire season, be sides running his team with discretion. Altogether, the Whitman eleven is a well-balanced bunch of players. As far as speed nnd teamwork is concerned they will hnve considerable advantage over Multnomah, because the clubmen seldom get Into condition for hard games so early in the season. Multnomah Men in Good Trim. During the past week the Multnomah candidates have been working faithfully and Captain Jordan Is satisfied with the condition of the team. Few new plays have been attempted, but during the com ing week every play suggested by the re vised rules will be experimented with and the wearers of the "Winged M." will no doubt have some surprises to spring on Whitman. It has not been decided just who will go in the line-up against the lads from Walla Walla, but Manager Horan will probably select the men that have been showing the best form in- the preliminary practice and scrimmage work. Marlon Dolph. the reliable half back of HHVJ and llHt4 is showing up splendidly in his old position, and Lone gran is doing nicely as Dolph's running mate. James seems to have a lead on all comers as far as the fullback position is concerned, and Kddie Dowllng is do ing consistent work at quarter. At center Multnomah has a new man. named King, who is putting up a rattling good po sition. Butler and Burt will undoubtedly play the guard positions against Whit man, and Pratt will be found in his old place at right tackle. Dr. Rader has been trying out for the other tackle, and has shown a great aptitude for the po sition. Horan or McMillan can be used at guard, tackle or halfback, and there are several others that are reliable men for line positions. Captain Dave Jordan is a fixture at left end. and Wilder is holding his own at right end. Thomas, an old Idaho end, and Blackburn, for merly a University of Washington player, are also promising men for the end po sitions. The Multnomah eleven will be every bit as heavy as the team of last season, and will be somewhat faster. With Dolph. Ionegran and James be hind the line, the plays should move off with considerable speed, and with their veteran line the combination should be able to break up many of "Whitman's crafty plays. The most important intercollegiate con test scheduled for the coming week is the Oregon-Idaho game which comes off next Friday at Moscow. This game promises to be one of the best of the season in Northwest football circles and great prep arations are being made for it at Moscow. Every business house in the town will be closed while the game is in progress and excursions will be run from Lewis ton, Pullman and other neighboring cities. Oregon and Idaho have met but once .on the gridiron in 1901, when a scoreless game was played on the Idaho campus. Consequently the teams have some old scores to settle, and as the Oregonians were inclined to ridicule Idaho's claim to the Northwest championship last sea son, there will be an effort to settle the problem this year in such a way that there will be no dispute afterwards. With all that, the feeling between the two universities is altogether friendly, and a good, clean game is assured. Idaho's recent victory over the crack team of the Spokane Athletic Club Indi cates that Coach Griffith has been doing some lively work at Moscow and that Oregon will have to play mighty hard in order to' take Idaho's scalp. Among the noted players on the Idaho team -is Captain Gus L. Larson, who Is playing left tackle for the sev enth consecutive year. Larson entered the preparatory department of the Uni evrslty of Idaho in 1899. and as there is no four-year rule in the Pacific Northwest, he has been playing ever since. Tuts is his senior year and, ac cording: to critics who have watched his work, his best year in football. In Friday's game Larson will probably be pitted against Moulton, Oregon's phe nomenal guard of last year, who has been shifted to tackle. The Idaho cap tain outweighs Moulton some 15 pounds, but Moulton is a clever player, and will be heard from during- the game. Odkes, who has played end for the last two seasons, is playing right tackle for Idaho and is putting up a very creditable game. He will be matched against Arnspiger, Oregon's shifty tackle next Friday. The battle between these men will be one of the features of the game, for they are both light, but exceedingly gritty players. Wilson and George Armstrong, the Ida ho ends, will be opposed by Chandler and Moore, the Oregon veterans. In Stopesberry, Smith and Pauls, Idaho has a fast center trio, and even with such players as Hug, Hammond, Scott and Glllis, Oregon will have to play gilt-edged ball to gain ground through the middle of the line. Stopesberry, the Idaho center, is a big fellow, weigaing 191 pounds, 20 pounds more than George Hug the Oregon center. Quarterback Robertson, Fullback Small and Halfbacks Savidge, Arm strong and Keys, Idaho has a combi nation of backs that can play in any company. They are" all fast men and Small is a fierce line player, who can always make distance when it is needed. Oregon's men apparently have a slight advantage over the Idaho for wards, but the odds are even in the back field. It is not known how Coach Bezdek will line his men up at Mos cow, but Latourette will undoubtedly plsy quarter, and Dudley Clark seems to be sure of his position at left half. McKinney has shown a good turn of speed and an aptitude for the fullback position and is reasonably sure of his place. Zachareas, the big California lad, has been putting up a hard fight for the position of right halfback, and apparently has a lead over Hurd and Oberteurfer. The Oregon-Idaho con test promises to be one of the closest and best football battles ever waged in the Pacific Northwest and the out come will be awaited with interest by all who follow the game in this part of the country. Whitman Will Play in Salem. Before tackling Multnomah, the Whit man team will go to Salem for a game with Willamette University, on October 24. This promises to be one of the best games of the season, for the teams are apparent ly very evenly matched. There is no end of football enthusiasm at Willamette this year. and. Recording to reports, the "sons of Jason Lee" have a very formidable ag gregation. Nearly all of last year's men are in college and trying for places on the varsity. Among the new men who are showing up especially well are Russell, formerly a halfback at Idaho, and Owens, an old Multnomah halfback. Reed, who played guard on the Pullman team last year, is proving a tower of strength in the line, while Marker and Nelson are show ing up splendidly In their old positions. Rumor has it that Pollard, Willamette's big tackle, is getting ready for the game again, and will be found in his regular position when the whistle blows for the game with Whitman. Rader, Nace. Cole man and Lounsberry are doing good work in the back field. Coach Boyer is pleased with the work of his squad, and predicts a successful season. Willamette is sched uled to meet Oregon at Eugene on Novem ber 3, and the Salemites will no doubt make an effort to break the long string of defeats that Oregon has administered in the past. From the showing made by the Ore gon "Aggies" against Albany, it is evident that Coach Norcross is doing some lively work at Corvallis. He has a large squad of men at work, and al though many of them are inexperi enced, they will cause Washington no end of trouble during the game of next Saturday. There is every reason to be lieve that the Oregon Agricultural Col lege will have a very creditable team before the season ends. Things have begun to assume a more favorable aspect at the University of Washington, and Coach Victor M. Place is more than satisfied with the outlook. During the past week the Washington squad has increased its number of almost 50 men. and some oi them will prove valuable additions to the varsity eleven. Sample, the crack center rush of the Seattle Athletic club, has turned out to fill the position left vacant by Captain Owen Crum. who was recently disqualified from athletics by the Washington faculty. Sample is a big fellow, and knows the game thor oughly. Another new candidate is "Stonewall" Hooper, an old Pullman tackle. Hooper was" captain of the Pullman team that defeated Oregon in 1901. Bantz, formerly of the Seattle High School, is trying out for half back, and his work is of a high order. There is more enthusiasm at Washing ton than there was two weeks ago, and altogether conditions are much more favorable for a successful season. Washington's first big game comes off next Saturday, when ihe Oregon Agri cultural College team is booked to play the varsity in Seattle. The Corvallls ites defeated Washington In 1904 and again last season, so the Evergreen State will make an effort to even up old scores during the coming game. Bald Heads Glow in Sun. In the left field bleachers a space about ten feet square shone mysteriously, says the Inter Ocean, describing one of the championship ball games. It glowed yel low under the rays of the sinking sun, and lent a pleasing touch of color among the 7500 black and gray hats which occu pied the rest of that section of seats. In vestigation developed that the touch of color resulted from the removal by about 50 bald-headed men, whom chance had thrown together, of their hats at one time. PORTLAND HUNT CLUB H.H.HERD1V1AN WINS Rides John Boggs to Victory in Hunt Club Chase. L. L. LEADBETTER SECOND Bright Sunshine Brings Out Many Members and a Dozen Guests. Course Seven Miles Long With Frequent Jumps. H. H. Herdman, riding John Boggs, won tlnvopening paper chase, held yes terday afternoon by the Portland Hunt Club. L. L. Leadbetter on Bob Craw ford was second, and J. N. Chapman, on Vince, was third. The bright after noon sunshine brought out not only about all of the Hunt Club members, but a dozen or more guests, who rode through the chase and enjoyed the day's sport. The start was made near the Irving ton Tennis Club courts, and the hares, Messrs. C. H. Leadbetter and R. H. 'Jenkins, laid the paper of a course that was about seven miles long, and one that had about seven or eight jumps. The footing was good throughout, and most of the large field that gathered at the start took advantage of the closed chase and rode through. The finish was on West avenue, and this gave the riders a-ehance for a fine finish. John Latta, the M. F. H., sent the field away promptly at the hour set for starting, and J. C. Muehe set the pace for the first part of the ride. Mr. Latta held the field together until within a short distance of the red paper, when he signalled the finish was near. In the run home the finish was one of the prettiest seen at a Hunt Club ride for a long time. The three horses that finished one, two, three fought it out all the way down the stretch. It was Mr. Herdman's ride on Boggs that won for him. Those who rode through were: Mrs: P. H. BIyth, Miss Sadie Leadbet ter. Miss Pittock, Miss T. Leadbetter, Miss M. Lawrence. Miss A. Shogran. Mrs. Nicol. Miss Wrenn. Miss Jack. Miss Cro nin, Mrs. Ambrose Cronin, Mrs. W. L. Wood Mrs. S. C. Spencer Mr. Wilder. F. O. Downing. M. F. H.; John Latta, H. H. Herdman, L. L. Leadbetter, J. N.

ASSEMBLED FOR FIRST CHASE OF FALL the state in High School football. Un der the direction of Coach Nichols the High School huskies are developing into a fast team that will do even better work than last year when Baker City won a rightful claim to consid eration as a factor in the state cham pionship by being unbeaten. Coach Nichols is a young lawyer, the partner of Senator J. N. Hart in his law practice, and is a graduate of Michigan University, where he had his football training. He has made a study of the game and of Yost's pe culiar style of play, and under his di rection last year Baker City beat Boise anj Weiser, Idaho, and Pendle ton, being unbeaten for the season and undisputedly the champion High School team of Eastern Oregon and Idaho. x This year the team is stronger. Many of the old men are back, but several of the husky lads are new in the game, but have shown remarka- A. Nichols, Coach of the Baker City High School Team. ble form for beginners. The new rules favor the style of fast play adopted and all efforts this season are put to developing teamwork. In Kellogg- the team has a strong punter. Coach Nichols has announced the following lineup for the eleven: Wilson, left end; Mitchell, left tackle; James, left guard; Kellogg, center; Hunstock, right guard; Hindman, right tackle; Baer, right end; McKim, quarter-back and captain; White, right half-back; Jenkins, left half back, and. Littigg, fullback. The schedule this year includes games with Portland High School and Eugene at Portland, Salem, Pendleton, Boise and Weiser. French Bourse Fears Result. PARIS. Oct. 20.

ST. LOUIS LAD HITS .351 Batting Averages of American League for the Season Shows Only Ten Hitters in the .300 Class. The official batting averages of the American League swat artist9 for 1906 have been compiled, and, as in the case of every other National game organiza tion, the showing indicates that the pitch ers have it all over the batters. A per centage of .400, not uncommon a few years ago, is unheard of, and there are but few of the heavy hitters who have been able to register above the .300 mark. The season closes with George Stone, McAleer's hardy slugger, in the lead. Close on his . heels ia Napoleon Lajoie, who has led the league three of the five years of its existence, and the greatest hitter of the present aay. Larry is a veteran who has never hit below the .300 mark in hte last ten years of service. He is rated the most grace ful and sure batter in either league at present. His conqueror for the batting laurels is a young man who was turned down by Jimmy Collins, then manager of the Boston Americans. Jimmy didn't like Stone's crouching position at bat, and told him 60. When a chance presented itself for a trade, he quickly disposed of Stone. Jesse Burkett went from the St. Louis Browns to Boston. In exchange. Stone and some $3500 went to McAleer. This mistake was one of the 'biggest of modern baseball, and was made by a man who had just piloted a club to a league pennant and a world's champion ship. It was the beginning of Jimmy's failure as a manager. Stone is a freak batter. His batting at titude is at variance with all the laws of positions In hitting, but the hardy t young Nebraskan zings them on a line through the infield at such a fierce clip that a hit generally follows even If the innelder gets in the way of the bulb. He is not a long-distance hitter, but the strength which he concentrates in his short-shoulder jolt' has the effect of driv ing the ball into left field with great speed. Smashing 'em into left instead of right is another peculiarity of the great Stone. Back of Lajoie comes his young back stop, "Nig" Clark, probably the best young receiver in either league.- Following Clark comes another youngster. He is "Ty" Cobb, of the Detroit club, and one of Armour's prize "finds" of the season. Cobb was laid up with illness during a big part of the season, but he resumed his batting power Instantly be got back in uni form, and has hammered his way into fourth place among the Johnson slug gers in hurrah form. Congalton, known the circuit over as "Bunks," and a capture from the Co lumbus club of 190b, has a nifty marK for a season's work." Critics of the game say that Congalton is only a fair fielder, which is responsible for his being in the minor league so long. He is no child, but his batting average of .323 entitles him to some credit. Elberfeld, who fought for the pen nant this season as hard as his leader, Griffith, is down in seventh place. Two veterans, Seybold and Flick, bring up in eighth and ninth places, re spectively Both o these batsmen have been above the high mark during the greater part of the season. Flick is one of the ten big hitters who have a 'grand average for the last ten years of more than .300. Elmer is a flne hit ter and , deserves to rank in company with Lajoie, .Keeler, Seymour, Wag ner, Donlin, Beaumont, Clarke, Dele hanty, Kelley, and Burkett. Hal Chase, the Yanks' remarkable young first sacRer, brings up the swell hitters. Chase is tenth in the number, with a mark of .313, and these tenure the only men above the .300 mark.

Only Big Football Game in New York This Season. Princeton and Cornell, whose game on the Polo grounds on Saturday afternoon, October 27, is the only big football con test to be played In New York City this year, have been meeting on the gridiron every year since 1891, with the single ex ception of 1892. A majority of these con tests have resulted in close scores, al though Cornell has won only two of the 14. Following Is a list showing the score in each year; , y Year. Princeton. Cornell. 1891 1R93 1894 1895 1896 1897 1898 1899 1900 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905 6 0 46 0 12 4 6 0 37 , 0 10 0 6 0 0 6 0 12 8 6 10 0 44 0 18 6 16 6 It is now six years since Cornell won a game in this series and the Ithacans are thirsting for Tiger gore. Both Princeton and Cornell are being coached in the forward pass and on-side kick, which were designed to open up the play, and their game, coming early in the season as it does, will furnish some val uable knowledge as to how these plays are going to work. Effect Seen in More Open Play. Multnomah Gains Most Yard age on Old Delayed Pass Play. Multnomah, 34; Albany 0. This Is the score of yesterday's opening football game under the new rules and the first of the season's games to be play ed by the Portland clubmen. Eleven beardless youngsters, not a one of them within several years of his majority, play ed at football against a lot of old-time gridiron warriors, who were in some in stances old enough to have fathered the entire bunch. There was nothing to the game but the score. Multnomah might have rolled up a higher score had it been absolutely neces sary. It wasn't, and perhaps it was a good thing that it was not necessary, for some of the wise critics who watched the clubmen closely were of the opinion that Multnomah's aggregation was not an all-star one by all odds. In the first game of the season, fumbling, no head work and not being familiar with the signals is to be expected. Multnomah showed all these weaknesses yesterday. Albany gave a splendid exhibition of fumbling, the work of Multnomah waa not one whit better and the game from this standpoint was simply about as rotten as it could possibly be. Then was no ex cuse for this, lor the ball was dry. Play Gentle Vnder New Rules. There is little use to pass judgment upon the game from the standpoint of the new rules. The only thing that can safely be said of them Is that it saved the lives of the Beardless Wonders from Albany. Under the old rules they would have been maimed or killed after the first three minutes of play. As it was they survived to the end of two 20-min-ute halves. Yet there was lots of pluck running around in those 11 Albanyites. Pluck and speed was about the only thing they had! If they could have had a lad to have booted the ball as James did, things wouldn't have been so easy for the clubmen. Francis, Captain Schultz, Mon teith and "Ward were the lads who played the game for Albany. When it came to tackling such huskies as Marion Dolph, Pratt and the rest of the big clubmen, Monteith was the real David. Once Dolby came near violating the kidnaping law. He tackled one of the. Albany kids be hind the line, and as the lad fell Dolph grabbed him by the slack of the trousers and started to run off with him. Being a lawyer, Dolph suddenly remembered there was a law against stealing children. First Score in Five Minutes. James kicked off for Multnomah and Al bany was forced to - punt on the third down. Just five minutes after the club men got the ball Dolph was pushed over the line for a touchdown. Coates, who did the punting' for Albany, kicked off, L and after a few fumbles. James made a fair catch on Albany's 25-yard line. It was a bad judgment, as he could have run back, for the field was clear. At that he got out of it by kicking a splendid goal at a very difficult angle. It took seven minutes to make the sec ond score, and the third score was made In a few minutes after the ball was kicked into play. In the second half Multnomah simply toyed with the visitors. All the am bltous football material from which Multnomah hopes to get its stars this season was given a try-out. On the team were a number of new faces, but the work of the new recruits that stood out most prominent was that of Wilder, who played end. The American game is new to him and It will take a. couple of games before he has mastered the details, but when he does get the "'know" he will make a very fast end. He has played Rugby and is very fast. James' boot was working well and his punting was above the average. Blanchard was a dead shot when it came to kicking goals. He made all four of them without a bob ble. It was not necessary for the club men to spring any new plays to defeat Albany. All of their substantial gains were made by the old delayed pass. The Albany kids could not solve this old style play. The quarterback kick, which is new, was also cleverly worked by Blanchard. The liine-Up. King Bennett .. Pratt Sterling .. Dowliug ,. Wildes ....

Two 20-minute halves. Official umpire Hckenbury. Referee Boyd. Head linesman Frank E. Watkins. View of Expert on the Game. Frank B. Watkins, who was head lines man, furnished the following comment on the game: "While the game was one-sided, it served to show that the new rules will force a great deal more kicking and open play between two evenly matched teams1 than formerly. The ten-yard rule is re sponsible for this. The forward pass was not used once in the game yesterday, and this is about in accordance with Eastern games, where, so far. It . has been little used, and, as a rule, has been a failure. The quarterback kick was used effective ly twice by Multnomah, and this kick, with some variations, will be one of the most often used plays to gain yardage that would be Impossible to gain by straight football. "Another play used with regular gains was the delayed pass, which, while not at all new, is always a spectacular play, and has been used with success always by Multnomah. "Albany was so far outclassed in the matter of weight that it was impossible for them to get off any kind of new plays, as their trick plays were broken up by the heavy Multnomah linemen be fore they could get them started. Al bany deserves great credit for their game ness, and both teams are to be congratu lated for the spirit of fairness and for clean playing. The officials were Impar tial and their decisions were right. "All in all. it looks as if the new rules will be better, from the public's view point, than the old ones, as there will have to be a great deal more open play ing, punting and fake kicks and runs than formerly. "Multnomah's prospects for a success ful team this season are very bright, much more so than usually this early in the seaeon."
