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.

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

ride from th poslofflce against IS for
Recreation, baseball attendance there
would be augmented fully 25 per cent.
Evidently somebody Is trying to put

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.

'Why don't you throw the way

-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

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.

WAGNER
PASSED
Trainer Declares Outlook for Season
Is Good Frank Has Chance to
" Compete in Stockholm
Olympic Contests.
Wrestling will be revived at the
Multnomah Club tomorrow night when
Edward E. 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."
