Philadelphia 1. That was the story of the first game of the world's championship series of 1911. and that is about the prevailing odds at present on the outcome of the series. The Giants were all tagged out in braod new uniforms of black, and they hung crepe on the Pennsylvania round house door. To be sure -the Quakers were on a strange field and on hostile territory and were naturally a bit ner vous at the start, so this opening vic tory does not settle the argument by any means. ' " Victory Gives Inspiration. Monday's game in Philadelphia may swing the odds back to even money again, but the Giants have the Jump; first blood is theirs and their triumph is liable to inspire them with a con fidence which may prove a mighty factor In the struggle to come. It was a great game, a great crowd and a great 1hv. and the issue was in doubt until the last. What more could a fan desire? Comparing the two, teams after their first clash,, there seems to be little choice between them. ' Tn speed, bril liance and In those qualities which go to win pennants, they seem very evenly matched, and victory hung upon unde cided pinions for a long time.

The campaign in Oregon for the re--nomination and re-election of President Taft will be directed by a general com mittee of 18 representative Republi cans of Portland. This group of the President's supporters will constitute the parent body of an organisation that will be made state-wide through the formation of auxiliary working com mittees in every countr. The person nel of the central, or directing author ity, which will be both advisory and executive In its capacity, .was an nounced yesterday. It has the cordial indorsement of Charles D. HHles, secre tary to the president. This plan of campaign In behalf of President Taft's candidacy and for bringing the Republican party to gether in this state, was formulated by Ralph B. Williams, National Com mitteeman for Oregon, following con sultation with prominent Republicans representing every shade of Republi can opinion and residing In every sec- tion of the state. The details of the plan had Just been completed when -President Taft and party reached Portland last Wednes day. They were submitted by National Committeeman Williams to the Presi dent's secretary, Mr. Hilles, who gave them his hearty indorsement. At the same time Mr. Williams submitted for the consideration of the President and his secretary a list of Republicans he recommended for appointment on the committee. Secretary Approves Plan. Later in the day Secretary Hilles sent Mr. Williams the following approval of the selections that had been decided upon by the President's friends: "Confirming my statement of this morning, I am delighted to learn of your plan to invite some of the Presi dent's friends to serve as members of a committee to safeguard the interests of the President in the coming Presi dential primary campaign. ,"While I am at a disadvantage in discussing the personnel of the pro posed committee, I recognize In the list submitted by you the names of clr.; sens of character and standing, whom it is a pleasure to find enlisted in the President's behalf." The members of the committee win be called together at an early date, when Mr. Williams, as National com mitteeman, will formally turn over to that organization the general manage ment of the Taft campaign In Oregon. At the same time Mr. Williams will assure the committee of his willingness and desire to co-operete every pos sible way that will promote the Presi dent's candidacy. Mr. Williams will continue to exercise the functions of National committeeman, but the actual direction of tare campaign will be in the hands of the general committee that has been named, together with the committees that will be created in the different counties. i Committees to Be Named. When assembled, the members of the committee will outline & plan of.oper atlon to be followed. At that time an organization probably will be effected by the election of a chairman and other necessary officers and possibly the se lection of a campaign manager. Among the first steps to be taken by the com mittee of 18 will be to get in touch with Republicans in the other 33 coun ties of the state, preliminary to organ izing effective working auxiliary com mittees In each. This is essential to carrying out the general plan of the organization that has been initiated the development of Taft sentiment throughout the state and the rehabili tation of the Republican party in Ore gon. t The committee that has been named is a militant organization. Its person nel includes men who are and have been active supporters of progressive policies.- It is a thoroughly representa tive Republican committee; a commit tee whose very composition alone ln (Concluded on Pace 10.
