MITCHELL. it would be unfair at this time to at teLpl a ran kin of the Wnnli player of; Portland, for the chairmen of the tennla committee! have yet to namo the ran kinc committee, whose findings undoubtedly will be made known in due time. The Oregonian today merely names Its pick of the live beet racquel-wteld-era as viewed from the past season's play. Ten food men might bo picked hut the ranking- committee would have something to do and there Is no In tention to Interfere or Influence their actions. In the least. The play of the year gives Brandt Wlrkersham first place. though there mlicht be those who would feel .that Oorrlll's rlctory over Wlckersham a week ago yesterday In the Irvlngton Club championship should place the younger player in top place. "! laser Haaalraa, It must be remembered that practic ally all year Wlckersham played under a (rest handicap, his only leeway of any account being when ho was given considerable time to devote to the game In preparation for the International here In July. Needless to say that at that time the "biscuit" man was playing his top game, as the live-set score in his contest with Joe Tyler for the cham pionship Is evidence enough. Business again interfered with "Wick" during the stste tournsment play, and what matchas he did play .were played almost under compulsion. tM Wlckersham's showing In the In ternational in the singles and doubles, the latter of which he and Oorrlll won, and his gsray fight at off hours. In the recent Irvlngton Club play, would place hits la the lead, not discrediting. In the least, the showing msde by Oorrlll. whose play has Improved wonderfully, yet still a little lacking In headwork. Oorrlll a progress baa been slow bat sure, and nest year, and undoubtedly several to follow, will place him In he front rank with the players of the Northwest. Though Andrews wss reported to have "retired from the game. It la doubtful If tennis ever loses the "vet eran." st least It Is to be hoped the "sciatica' may nsver become a perma nent fixture tn one of the very few men who know how to run a tennis tournament and bow to play the game. It must be confessed Andrews was not seen In plsy o'ne-half as much as he should hare been, but It la conceded that he knows the fine points of the gsme as few others and can play the game with the . Mllty which would place him easily' third best in Port land's too few good players. Ewtsi'i Play lafreaaeaC Jsmes P. Ewlng's showing on the courts this year. too. was less thsn usual, but his strong gsme waa clearly evidenced la his performances In the tats tournament. Us hss much of the rapid-Are game of Fred Andrews and (i, p. Morton, hat his scores this yesr hsrdly are sufficient to rank blm above fourth place, and since Andrews de feated him In the Multnomah tryouta this yssr. third plaoe must bo conceded to his bestor. Jack Lewis bad hi really first good year at tennis this avason. when he ram to the front by continual practice Inr preparation for his plsnned play with Charles B. Foley, of n Fran cisco, present Oregon title holder. Lewis played probably more aets of tennis this year In tournaments thsn snyone In the Northwest, outside of Joe Tyler, of Spoksne. whose five-set matches and his visitations at almost every tournsment of consequence on tlw circuit give him first rank In the Northwest In this respect ss well as putting him arst In the offlclsl ranking In! this territory. 1 XrUattUs -oalaa- Tterta.

Both will play In the singles and doubles, which will mesa no end of strenuous play, but there seems to be no other way out of a pe culiar predicament. There is no gainsaying the fact that the two men can be depended upon, but whether they can hold out remains to he seen. Wright, heretofore, seems to hsve been sMe to show Brookes "cards snd spades' st the game, and It la not d'Mtbted that be will again prove the victor, but what MrLoushlln can do Is a question.

This news, undoubtedly, will be re ceived with much Interest by Oregon hunters, for the desiro to shoot phea sants haa been strong. Th mountains of Southern Oregon between th Rogue River Valley and the coast ar a mecra for deer hunters. This section has been th best In the entire slat for deer this year and a great number of parties have Invaded that territory since the season opened. "Rich."

FANS TTirDETAILS SPECIAL WRITERS TO ACCOM PANY BEAVERS. W. J. Petraln. Baseball Expert of The Oregonlan. and Jack Barry to Cover Final Series. For the benefit of the thousands of Portland fans who will be unable to see the final games of the Pacific Coast IMgue pennant race. The Oregonlan iU arranged for a complete service covering all the games to he played at Los Angeles between the Besvers and Vernon and Los Angeles, as well as the final week cf the season at San Francisco. W. J. Petrain. baseball writer for The Morning Oregonlan. and Jack Barry, utility player with McCredle's team, will feature each day's play for Oregonlan readers direct from the ecene of action In the three crucial weeks of th 1 S1 1 pennant race. yr. Petrain oas covered the Pacific Coast League games all season for Th Oregonlan. and Is conversant with th baseball situation in the league as are few newspaper men on the Coast. . starry. In addition to being a baseball player of National reputation, is a col lege man and a clever and versatile writer. During tt- off ssson in past yesrs he hss delighted the readers of aeveral Eastern metropolitan pspers with his bright and entertaining stories of diamond lore, and The Oregonlan oag arranged for him to handle side lights on the coming series In the Southland. jBarry has proved a most valuable utility man for the Beavers because of his knowledge of the game gleaned from many years of experience on the dlsmond. This knowledge will be ex tended to Oregonlan readers by the player-writer, who will tell the inside facts of each victory or defeat coming the Beavers' way In the next and final three weeks of the season. VIEWS AND REVIEWS OF PAST WEEK IN SPORTS BY ROJtCOB NORTH WKSTERN League direc tors are said to be using; coercion In an effort to force Spokane to switch from Recreation Psrk to Natatorlum. which Is much closer to the business part of town. "Spokane may be dropped from the league unless the change is made," states a Seattle dis patch. Piffle! There is about as much chance of the Northwestern League dropping Bpo-" Vane as there Is of the Mason and Dixon line doing a contortion along the Columbia River, banks. Imagine North Yakima or Everett In with Tacoma, Victoria and a few other towns like that? Th Spokane situation is this: Joe Cohn owns the franchise, but he se cured it through the good graces of the Inland Empire railway system, which owns Recreation Park, and does the hauling. Natatorlum Park Is owned by the Washington Water Power Com pany, and as It Is only eight minutes ride from th poslofflce against IS for Recreation, baseball attendance there would be augmented fully 25 per cent. Evidently somebody Is trying to put Cohn up against a buxx-saw. Bob Brown, of Vancouver, who has always, coveted the Spokane territory, probably knows something about It- Klthv that, or Joe Is a party to the cross ing" of the traction people, and those who know him do not entertain the thought. e e e A glance over the batting figures of the men constituting the two rival teams which wUl clash for the world's chsmplonshlp discloses some Interest ing and Illuminating Information. Chief Myers biffs the globule harder than Ira Thomas, and Matty has the edge on Bender In the hitting line. In the, regular lineup Barry Is the only man who falla short of his sntagonlst. and Barry Is said to be a "bear"' when It cornea to a pinch. Here are the fig ures: New Yet Cleats.

Gorhsht Plans to Give Portland Sportsmen Wrestling- Exhibition WTien Amerlcus, Demetral, F. Beal, Burns Will Be Seen. I ' Tousslff Mahmout, th great Turk ish grappler, I to be on of thegalaxy of stars accompanying Champion Frank Gotch on his tour of th United State. Canada. Japan. China. India, Germany. France and England. Gotch and bis all-atar troupe will b In Portland on November 1 for an ex hibition either at the Armory or at the Oregon hall. Seventh and Oak streets, formerly Merrill's hall. J. K. Gorham, who has been promoting lo cal grappling fests. receiving word to this effect from Emil Klank, Gotch's manager. Klank will b In Portland within a week or two to close up final details for the appearance of his celebrated assemblage. Amerlcus. Demetral, Fred Beal and Farmer Burns probably will be In th party. Gotch is booked for 8alt,Lak City on October 30; Portland. November 1; Tacoma. November 2; Seattle. Novem ber J, and Belllngham. November . At Tacoma he will ahow In the big Armory, seating 500 people, and at Seattle probably In Dreamland Rink, leased by Mike Fisher. The motion pictures of the Gotch Hackenschmldt wrestling bout, held at Chicago on Labor day, were to hav been shown at th Baker Theater last week, but owing to some conflict be tween the owners of the films and the purchasers of the Oregon state rights the engagement was canceiien. FAWCBTT, friendship and regard, he shows about as much foresight as an educated Af rican gnu and not a whir, more In th malicious Interview credited to him since his return home from the Vernon series In Portland -two weeks ago. "Up there the fans did everything hut feed us arsenic in our soup," weeps ons pink section. "The Insults that came from the stand sounded like a drunken Saturday night In a sailor' boarding house." reads another credited to Hap. And then not this gem-- "Whenever the Hap, wer at bat the crowd surged in at the Sunday game, and they couldn't have made more than two bases, no matter how hard they hit it." 8uch spasms of billingsgate ar ridiculous snd disgusting. WithJthe crowd circling the field, snd ground rules lo effect, no wonder Hap couldn't make more than two bases within the field. Larry Lajole couldn't have done It though he had been armed with a team-propelled barn door. Any school lad could tell you that, for two bags la the maximum allowed under those conditions. If anything, Hogan got the better of the "crowd" argument oh the Sunday In question, for the people did the an nexation act during Portland's regime In. the field only to be ordered ba'k at Hogan's behest every other Inning. Just before the Beavers went to bat. The scribe who penned the last-mentioned quote, however, seems to have stubbed his own toe. He says: "When Hap's men were at bat the crowd surged In." Granting this, why should Hogan howl? Any time a ball carooned Into the crowd it automatically be came a two-bag ply. The closer In the crowd, the more likelihood of two baggers. It doesn't take the binominal theorem to figure that out. Cheer up. Hogan. Be a good sport. One Portlarfd fan really was heard to shout "Poor Old Hap" on the Sunday In question. But he .was promptly squelched, for the better element does not condone such insulting . activity. Happy Hogan has been-libeled sore ly. The lively boss of tha Vernon pennant contenders insists that he doea not wear a glass eye. Hap bris .tled up the other day In Los Angoles when Harry Carr. of the Times, re ferred to his team as "castofTs." "These stories about my castoffs ar like my glass eye." sniffed Hap. "What about your glass eye?" asked Carr, who like thousands of us around the circuit have longed to ask Hap about it. Hap laughed. "My eyes are both real genuine, honest-to-goodness eyes. No one could possibly play wlth'bne eye. For some reason that I can't explain myself, I always turn my head away when I throw to second base. "One day when I was coaching JJW I JJL. P I - Ti ; . ff.- 5-.- Y s Jack Barry. ' , ."etsW 1 I ti ;ltlf ifc I . If college baseball nine I threw to first, trying to catch the runner off and the ball hit th first Baseman in the neck. He went down like a log. 'Why don't you stay awake? I yelled. 'Why don't you throw the way you're looking?' he retorted. -Well, this habit of turning my head started the report that I have only one eye. Every time a new player reports it amuses me to see him slyly scrutinize my face to ascertain which one Is glass." Jim Jeffries has always Insisted that Hogan has only one peeper. Jeff was playing handball with Hogan once in Los Angeles and Joshed him about It. Hogan then offered to turn his head, close the apparently good eye and catch the ball. - Jeff took him up and tossed the ball to him but Hap missed It by a foot and to this day Hogan cannot convince the former heavyweight champion that he is .possessed of two good eyes.' If you want to. get In on the Joke try the stunt. You'll probably miss the sphere as far aa Hap did for you see it com ing and then it seems to drop Into va cancy Just as you close your fingers on It v A comparison of Waiter Johnson, the greatest right-hand pitcher in the American League, and Vean Gregg, ex PortlanderJ who is rated as the might iest southpaw, reveals that Johnson has a natural advantage over Gregg. John son's arms are longer. A long arm aids a pitcher and few short arm heavers have great speed. Gregg Is one and one-quarter Inches taller than Johnson, but has Ave Inches less reach 67 Inches against 72. Gregg Is six feet two Inches tall and John son six feet and three-quarters of an Inch. Gregg, however, looks taller than the Washington man because he Is slim. He tips the beam at 168 pounds and Johnson 190. Elmer Strlcklett, the former Brook lyn pitcher, has written from Stockton to a Brooklyn friend predicting that an outlaw league will be flourishing in California next year. "He intimates that the Pacific Coast people are dissatisfied with existing conditions and will withdraw fiom Na tional protection In 1913," says the Brooklyn Eagle: Strlcklett probably re ferred to the outlaw threats made by Cosst League heads prior to the Amer ican Association . turndown. "Every thing Is quiet along the Potomac now." The "Old Fox-' Is a prosperous ranch owne' but 'pitches Saturday and Sun day games for Stockton. He shut out the Modesta Reds without a hit on September 4. Orvle Overall, pitching for the same club, recently shut out San Jose, allowing but two hits and Strlck lett declares the former Cub will be back In the big leagues next year. 't The coming of Frank Gotch. the world's champion wrestler, to give an exhibition In Portland on November 1 while on his tour of the globe, will do much to revive this wholesome sport In this section. In athletic ability, courage. Judgment and staying qualities Gotch is undoubt erly far superior to Hackenschraidt or any other wrestler in the world and as his honesty and Integrity hava rover been questioned his trip Is bound to Inject new life and energy Into a sport that has come Into disrepute In many sections where amateurish matchmak ing and dishonest manipulators have served as herculean handicaps. While we heap laudation upon Gotch, however, we should not be too severe with his recent opponent, Hacken schmldt. There Isn't any question about Hack's ability as a grappler. He has appeared before millions of people and met the best In the business. But the Russian's style is not catch-as-catch-can and his mistake consisted in his trying for the world's title at this style. He has. always been a Graeco-Roman European grappler ca holds below the waist allowed. He .has wrestled under these rules which, while not so showy require far more skill and study than the American and had be come champion of the world. I Hack's mistake, as Willlan Muldoon said the day after the Chicago bout, rested In his leading his friends and admirers to believe that he was an expert at catch-as-catch-can wrestling.

O'Conneli. who has Instruct ed the Portland men In the grappling art for the past two years, takea the first Fall class in tow. All of last year's stars are expected to grace the mat again and a corps of fresh re cruits will be out for the hauling, maul ing and pulling exercises. O'Conneli has Just returned from an extended visit to the East, and after the long rest Is prepared to start a season of strenuous work for the can didates for the lnter-club. Pacific Northwest Athletic Association, Ama teur Athletic Union and Olympic strug gles. "Multnomah certainly will have one wrestling representative in the Olympic games. If form Is any indication of what is going to happen," said O'Con neli yesterday. "If no accidents occur in the meantime. I'm almost positive that Edgar Frank will be among those sailing for Stockholm next year. Frank is by far the best wrestler we have, and should find little difficulty winning the Amateur Athletic Union 125-pound championship." Strong- Hopes Entertained. Much Is expected of O. E. Franike, Amateur Athletic Union 135-pound champion, who looms up brightly In . Multnomah's prospects. Duff Fabre, 145-pounder; McCarthy and Vinson. IBS pounds; Stevens, 115 pounds, and Hol den. heavyweight, are expected to do a great deal for the Multnomah Club in the lnterlub struggles. O'Conneli has distinct views concern ing the toe hold, made famous fy Champion Gotch. This was the gentle manipulation by which the Iowa farm er won his supreme honors against Hackenschmldt in their first clash, and was an Important factor In their second set-to. "Most of the hue and cry raised against the toe hold .comes from those who know little about the art of wrest ling," said O'Conneli. "A good wrest ler of the catch-as-catch-can style has little or no trouble evading the toe hold. Therefore, its elimination is un- t necessary." It might not bo amiss to Insert here, for the benefit . of those who have never been initiated Into the mysteries of toe holds and strangle holds, grape vines and bammerlocks, and head holds and leg holds, that the gentle bone breaker referred to really has no con nection with th to other than that It starts from the extremes end of- the ve hicle of nature. . : Kaee Is Damaged. The general opinion prevails that when a toe bold is taken, the holder either wins or his antagonist's senior member of his pedal propeller is snapped. Not so. The damage is all done to the knee. The hold is taken on the toes and the leg wrenched in such a manner that tho knee Is broken, pulled out of Joint or turned inside out. Othorwiso no injury Is done. "Had 'Hack' been a master of the American stylo of grappling, .Gotch probably would never have secured the deadly hold," continued the Multnomah instructor. "It's as easy to evade when . . . Tl... j. 1H . arnnA , you anow now. dui i. j u 1 of a man's wrestling science and should remain in tho legal list. "Tho Ootch-nacK riasco causoa no end of comment throughout the East. The opinion was unanimous among ex perts that Gotch is the Russian's mas ter at any style of wrestling, becaus of his quickness and superior knowl edge of tho game." The toe hold discussion brought reminiscences of O'Connell's first visit to Portland, over three years ago. He was scheduled to wrestle "Strangler" Smith and his opponent insisted that the strangle hold, which is barred hi police company, be permissible. "He simply wanted a rough old go.' said O'Conneli. "I was willing. Ths toe hold was new then and few knew anything about it. I had little diffi culty In getting him in the vice-like grip, but before I even had a chance to put on the pressure he screamed for mercy and declared I was trying to ktlj him. Once was enough for Strangler. He refused to come back for the seo ond dose." -While in the East O'Conneli received an Invitation to visit an old pupil In Porcupine, Canada. Porcupine la the scene of the latest gold strike and ij . situated north of Cobalt, Ontario. He accepted, and when he arrived there found none other than Jack Munroe the leading spirit. Tho prise fistic quince has made considerable money in mining adventures in that country O'Conneli staked out three claim in , the heart of the district and before leaving had an offer to sell. He In tends to hold them until further de velopment Is done. RYAJT PICKS BEST PITCHERS t Leading Hitter Likes Beaver Staff; Browning Hardest for Him. "Who do I think is the best pitcher t in the league, or the hardest for me to hltr said Buddy Kyan, Coast League ba"ttlng king., yesterday. In reply to a question. "Well, that Is hard to say off-hand, for there are many good pitchers in this league, and some of them have been easy for me at times, while at others they have fooled me almost as often. ' "Xm to my personal opinion of the best pitchers. I think McCredle has the best five twirlers in the league right here in Portland. Among the pitchers . . , . . i . U. T w,il,4 nil Ahlei and Pernoll, of Oakland: Browning and Henley, of San Francisco; Stewart, of ; Vernon; Delhi, of Los Angeles, and Fitzgerald and Byrara, of Sacramento, in their class. However, of all these pitchers. Browning, of the. Seals, has proved the hardest for me to solve right along. The others I have found occasionally, yet I would vote "Abies and Pernoll, when they are right, as the two pre miers of the league, outside of the . Portland pitchers." Solemia Toronto Winner.
