WHITMAN IS HARDEST HIT Missionaries Seem Doomed to Cellar Championship This Season Ore Son Has Only Five Old-TImera Left O. A. C. Promising. BT REFEREE. There will be many new faces on the football teams of the Pacific Northwest this year. The ranks of nearly every team will be- depleted by graduation, by the enforcement of the Walla Walla con ference rulea, by the failure of old players to return, and by th faculty eligibility rules. Whitman College seems to be hit harder than any of her rivals. The con ference rules disqualified several of Whit man's best men; others wese graduated last June, and two of the best ones, one of whom was Captain Walter Brubaker, have played professional baseball. This leaves Whitman with only three of last season's veterans a very small nucleus for a championship team. Added to all this misfortune. Whitman seems to have drawn a coach of less than ordinary ability. J. Merrill Blanchard, the coach who has been engaged by the Missiona ries, mads a flsalo of last season, when be attempted to coach the team of Wash ington University at St, Louis. Unless he show a wonderful Improvement over his work Of last season, Blanchard will Jand the cellar championship for the Walla Walla Institution. It will be remembered that Whitman College was the first to advocate the formation of a Northwest Conference. That so many of Whitman's players should fall victims to the conference rules seems hard, indeed, and in their misfor tune the Whitmanltes have the sympathy of their neighboring colleges. About the best that the Missionaries can do this season is to develop a lot of good mate rial for 109. Idaho Loses Rodney Small. Misfortune Is not confined exclusively to the Whitman camp, however. Up at Mos cow the Idaho students will look In vain lor the ever-reliable Bodney Small, Ida ho's clever quarterback of the last two seasons. It has been stated on good au thority that 8mall will be out of college this year, although he has one more sea son of football under the conference rules. Those who saw the Oregon-Idaho game of last season remember Small's clever work In the execution of the forward pass. Besides cleverness along this line. Small demonstrated bis ability In all depart ments of the game. He was the best field general among the quarterbacks of the Northwest last year. Try as he may, Cfcach Mlddleton will not be able to fill Email's place. Besides her veteran quarter. Idaho has lost Stein. Keyes and Armstrong by grad uation. Mlddleton will have seven vete rans, however, and on paper his team looks as strong as the Pullman aggre gation. Pullman, however, has been hard hit by the conference rules. To begin with. Hardy, Nlssen and possibly Bader are out of the game because of the four-year rule. Goldsworthy and Miller were graduated u.. t i n a .r.

Besides these, Washington wlU have "Bull Moose" waDcocK ana x-o.ui Jarvls, veterans of former years who did not play last season, and a large dele gation of experienced men from the Seat tle High School. Washington's prospects are much better than they were a year ago and the writer ventures the opinion that they will be heard from in the race for championship honors. As far as can be ascertained, Washington has not lost any men by the operation of the Con ference rules. Five Old Men at Oregon. Oregon win begin the season with only five of her veterans Moullen, Clark, Plnkham, Molntyre and Coleman. The last named has been accused of playing semi professional baseball, contrary to the Conference regulation. The writer knows nothing about the merits of the charge, but an investigation will doubtless be made by the athletlo authorities of the university. ' Oregon's five veterans are all good men and will give Coach Forbes a nucleus around which to build his team. Captain Moullen expects to have a good bunch of reserves the substitutes and second team men of last year and a fine lot of freshmen. In spite of the loss of such brilliant players as Zacharias, Kuyken dall, Taylor, Moores and Amsplger, Ore gon appears to have prospects for a suc cessful season. Her team will have a splendid coaching staff and will make a lively bid for first place among the North west colleges. Coach Forbes will reach Eugene next Sunday and practice will begin the following day. Bright Prospects at O. A. C. The Oregon Agricultural College will nnf wava All nt 1 a wt season's veterans, al though seven members of the regular eleven will be in the game again. Those who will not return are Emily, left end; Benneit, leit xacjue; iisuuitty, rig"i buwu, and Rhlnehart, right halfback. The loss of JJunlap and Rhlnehart will not be severe, but Bennett and Emily will be hard to replace. Both were splendid men in their positions. Emily was chosen as an All-Northwest end last year and Ben nett was one of the best tackles that the season produced. Coach Norcross is due at Corvallls this week and active pracUoe will begin im mediately. Besides his seven veterans, Norcross will have a good lot of sub stitutes and second team men of last season, as well as some new men of ability. The Aggies have arranged a mora elaborate schedule than they had last year. A game will be played with the University of Washington, In Seattle, on October 31, and ' Whitman Cbllegu will appear In Corvallls on November U. There will also be some minor games. With a team composed, largely of veterans. The Aggies have more than an even chance of holding their North west championship title another year. The game between O. A. C. and Oregon which will be played on Multnomah. Field on November 21, will undoubtedly have an important bearing on the Northwest championship situation. Notwithstanding the loss of many of their best players, the teams of the Northwest are on the eve of their great est season of football. Old men have been graduated and passed along to the sterner walks of life. New men are being developed each year. The Speldella, the Pllkingtons, the Chandlers, the Kodera and other famous players come and go, but the great Autumn game goes on forever. END OF 1908 CRICKET SEASON Never Has the Portland Club Had So Prosperous a Year, Both in Bowlers aoid Batters. BT J. M. QUE N TIN. TAXJC football to the newest and oldest' arrivals from "the old coun try" and the light of satisfied con flict will be reflected from their eyes. Talk golf, and mild, appreciation will be the result. But talk cricket to cricketers and you at once have a mortgage on their friendship. They positively glow with beatific sentiment and begin to think of poetry. For there Is an impres sion among those who really know what the game is that cricket is the poetry of sport. Other games, to the cricketer, form .prose. All of which is introductory to the statement that so far as the playing of out-of-town clubs Is concerned that the present season of the Portland Cricket Club has concluded in a blase of glory, and that the sport In this region Is prospering exceedingly. Never had it a better chance to spread its wings and crow. Of course, the "stumps" are not yet put away in lavender for there may be two or three matches of an Informal nature between club members. But hard work for 1808 Is done. W. O. Smith remains the "daddy" and the most valuable man In the club. He has made not only a big hit -with his bat, but with his bowling and ability to stay at the wickets and tire out oppo nents' bowling. The surprises have been the excellent bowling of Grieg, Bailey and Fenwiclc, the two former men being new players here, Grieg and Fenwlck are Australians, and Bailey, English. An expert says that the bowl ing of this trio reminds him of a coun ty eleven in its palmiest days The out-of-town matches began In this city with the Vancouver, B. C, Cricket Club. Two games were played, in which Portland won one and lost one. The first game was strikingly original, so much so that all who took part will remember the strange expe rience. Portland had 61 minutes to make 84 runs and beat Vancouver, and actually, our boys made 97 runs in 60 minutes, with four wickets to fall. "Dad" Smith in this series made top score three times out of four, and twice he was not out. At Seattle, Wash., the Portlanders went up against it with one man short, and, lost by 20 runs. The greatest test, however, came when Portland crick eters went north to take part In the re cent cricket tournament at Victoria, B. I- v.a. . IF "1--, f . II'. . I - v .

Smith being top scorer both timings, and ecor lng 60 in the second inning. The match with the Victoria Garrison was, unfortunately, not finished owing to the time limit being exhausted, but it looked as if Portland would ultimately have wpn. The Garrison boys ran up 236 runs and Portland soored 96 runs in the first Inning, and in the follow on Bcored 187 for only three wickets. It Is noteworthy that during the match with Nelson, B. C Gregg, bowler, took five wicketa for two runs. The Nelson critics spoke of him as "the lit tle dark man-from Oregon with the whirlwind delivery, and who literally mowed us down." The Labor Day match In this city between Portland and Seattle, ended in Portland's favor by one wicket and 17 runs. In this match the principal fea tures were the fine bowling of Grieg, Bailey and Fenwlck. Brlggs was top scorer for Seattle, and liked this city so much that he has since become a resident and will play for Portland In 1909. C Lawrence, once captain of the Portlands, played this time for Seattle, as he is now a resident of. Tacoma, Wash. He made 14 runs In alL In the second inning he was just beginning to show his old form when he was neatly caught by Cummin g off a ball by Fen wlck. For our side .Fenwlck was the dandy boy in ths scoring line, earning 13 in the first and 81 in the second. New blood told this year and syate matlo practice. . The club's cricket grounds near Montavllla are the best and most complete on the Pacific Coast, and have helped the game to its present level. Who turned out to be the best all-around cricketer this sea son t Well, I've so many friends in the club and they all did so well that I'll leave this to you. OREGON LOSES 7 VETERANS Many New Paces Appear on Eugene Team This Tear. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Or., Sept. 13. (Special.) From present in dications. Oregon will begin the football season with only five of last year's veteran football eleven. Kuykendall, Moores and Zacharias were graduated last June, Arnsplger has been rendered Ineligible because of the four-year rule, while Scott, the big center rush of last season, and Taylor, the speedy freshman halfback, will not return to college. The old men who will be in the game again are Fred C. Moullen, captain and left guard; Walter Mclntyre, right guard; Louis A. Plnkham, left tackle; Curtis Coleman, right endk and Dudley R. Clark, fullback. The squad will not be lacking in good material, however, for most of the sub stitutes and second team men , of last season will be on hand again and the freshman class will bring a fine lot of players, some of whom are already In Eugene. Some of the best high school players on the Coast will be found in the ranks of the Incoming class, so predictions are freely made that Oregon will put out a very creditable freshman eleven. Coach Forbes will reach Eugene on September 20 and practice will begin the following day. The opening game of the season will be with Willamette Uni versity, in Eugene, on October 24. BOARD OF TRADE BUFFET The finest buffet, for gentlemen only, has been opened by C. D. Elder, recently of Tacoma and Seattle, on the ground floor of the Board of Trads Building. Elegant merchants lunch each day from 11:80 to 1:30. ' PICK BIB LEAGUE WINNERS LOCAL FIRMS FAVOR NEW YORK AND DETROIT. Struggle In Both Circuits Is Very Close, However, and Final Games Will Decide. Next to "Who'll win the pennant in the Pacific Coast League?" local fans are Interested in the result of the struggle for the championship of the major leagues. As the clubs come down ths final lap in the race for the championship, the ultimate pennant winners . in both major leagues are narrowing down to a very few con tenders. Each day. the struggle for leading honors becomes stronger and the sea son promises to be notable for the fierceness of the struggle in both or ganizations. However, local fans be lieve that New York will win the pen nant in the National and Detroit In the American. "Perhaps the race that Is attracting the most marked attention Is the Na tional," said a local fan, whose base ball dope is regarded as authentic as any other. "If the dope works true New York should easily land the flag. The Glanta are perhaps playing better ball than any other team in any of the leagues in the country. Not only are their pitchers in superb shape, and working well, but the team Is hitting consistently and playing a fast, confi dent fielding game. "None of the contesting teams seoms to be able to stop the Giants In their dash for the flag, so that when the other clubs make their last Invasion of New York, the Giants will hare such a lead that It will be next to Impossible to dislodge them. This seems particu larly likely to me,' lnasmuoh as New; York will be playing on the Polo, grounds a decided advantage, in my estimation, at thla crucial stage of the game." At this stage of the contest in pre ceding years, the struggle in the American league had generally dwin dled down to two clubs. This year there are four In the hunt, though by far ths majority of local enthusiasts believe that Detroit will win. Detroit still continues In the lead, but It has been materially lessened the past ten days, though they have had to do battle with other aspirants for pen nant honors. Chicago's victory yester day will change the standing sllghtlr. , though Detroit still holds the premier place. In order to win the pennant De-; trolt must repeat Its trick of a yar' ago, as Chicago and St. Louis are right at their heels. NEW FEATURE IN PITCHING "Cy" Morgan Discovers New Form of Curving Ball in Its Flight. BOSTON, Sept. 5. (Dispatch to Chicago, Reoord-Herald.) "Cy" Morgan, the red I sox pitcher, has discovered a freak bender whiQh, It is expected, will In time sup plant the famous spit ball. Morgan's new ball Is called the "follow ball." He has controlled the ball so well ' ' that he now has two curves working from , practically the same delivery, and will devote his time to perfecting it. The ball is held like a straight drop which goes off the ends of the fingers, but In the delivery the pitcher, with a-side arm motion, snaps his hand around in the! manner of throwing an In curve. The! ball whirls around like a floater, but car-l rles with considerable more speed. Wheal the ball reaches the plate it takes a tra-1 mendous drop. lI TIRE EXPENSE REDUCED 25 to 40, FIGURES TELL. ,." w. THE TALE f , ,.
