Colleges in Pacific Northwest
All Suffer From Loss of
Veteran Players.
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. Miner la bavinar difficulty

out on account of poor grades. On top of
all this, joe uaun, riuimaii s "

Kouiuii mam nt "Wallace. Idaho.
Out of 13 men who played on the Pullman
varsity last season, omy "
to Captain Wexlefs call next week. De
spite the splendid bunch of new material
that Is certain to be on hand. Coach
Rhelnchlld will have his work cut out for
him if he turns out a winning team.
tw- T-.uur.iii A h in B-t nn has lost
only three men Bagshaw, halfback; Mat
thews, quarter, ana jbscicj, cnu. i
the others will be on hand when Coach
1 1 rwihu MmmMvpi work next
Monday. 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.

C. They lost against Victoria, the best
club in British Columbia, and ' Play
ing the Victoria Albion, Churchley
made top score. Portland won from
Nelson, B. C, by 103 runs, W. G. 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.

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.
