VIEWS AND REVIEWS OF , PAST WEEK IN SPORTS BT ROSCOB (.ay HAT football needs Is a ecorlng VV play by rushing- Inside tha It or 15-yard Una," declared a well-known Northwestern coach following- the rules conference at the Presa Club last week. ' It is not a new appeal. As a mat ter of fact we have heard tha cry ever since It became apparent early last Bprlng- that the. new rearulstlons had made practically obsolete the plays upon which American football had de pended for many .years. Tha coach's expression, reiterating;, as It does, a general criticism, em phasises the fact, however, that the problem is still unsolved and it be comes apparent that the drop kick, the forward pass or soma trick play must be depended upon In the pinch for scoring- purposes. Even If a team Is strong- enough to advance to within striking- distance of the enemy's goal, the defense Is then stiffened up by the addltlats of tho men who are back on the pass defense and the result Is that the offense runs up against a stone wall and s-alnlrtg becomes harder and harder aa the ball moves toward the dividing- goal line. e e a Some Interesting points were brought out In .the discussion at the rules ses sion. For Instance, one or two dele gates put forth the argument that a forward pass that does not cross the line of scrimmage need not be made from five yards back.

HpME RUN REAL CRIMPLER Vernon Baseball Magnate Even Tried to "Get Goat" of One Harry Abies, Wliom Portland "Bug" . Offered $200 to "Win Twice. BY HARRY B. SMITH. BAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14. (SpeclaL) With tha next to the last week of baseball In Coast League circle well nnder way, even those rabid San Fran dtsco fans who have been rooting for the Villagers to come first under the wire hava about thrown up their hands. Thay are ready to cry "quite," for the way the Beavers have been lacing the Anfrels in the southern territory and Oakland handing- It to Vernon, It looks as If tha Beavers are to have a mighty easy time of It during tha last few days. "I'll bo ta worst enemy yon aver had by tha Ust of the week, Happy," said Wolverton in a joshing- way to Hogan before the first game, and It would appear that this prophecy came true. Quite certainly, Wolverton was an enemy to the cause of Vernon when be snapped the ball over the fence In tho ninth Inning- of that Tuesday g-ams to send three runs across the plate and FAWCBTT.

Mack, the kid did not come Into his voting majority until last month, September 19. Mclnnls. as a ball player. Is a devel opment of Connie Mack.

LEADERS. win out. I never saw a harder luck defeat. It fairly crimpled Hogan up, for at that time he had two runa to the good and thought "the session waa salted away. Hosraa Crews Pale. When he saw that ball soaring over the fence he fairly turned white. It must have affected him the second day out, for he was not his former bright and confident sslf, and when he was ordered off the coaching line for bois terous conduct, slunk away with hard ly a protest. . Furthermore, a correspondent of one of the Los Angejes dailies, who is here this week with the team, avers that the Hoganltes have been mighty peevish as a result of that defeat in the early part of the week. There Is no "hail fellow" talk among the boys and they stalk around the ho tel corridors with" hardly a word for one another. Their actions on the ball field also are such as to Indicate that they chink- their one grand chance has been lost. They don't show the pepper that they should be showing. The Oaks are playing better ball this week than for some time and they look to finish strong up in third position. Hogran Tries te "Get" Abies. Hogan tried to annex the goat of one Harry Abies in the first game that the big southpaw twirled. Happy had learned through the medium of the pa pers that a Portland bug had offered Abies $200 to win two games from the Villagers. "So you"re the fellow who's going to cop 200 by winning two games from us, are you?" Jeered Hogan. as he pranced up and down the coaching line. "Yes, I'm the chap," laughed back Abies, and he proceeded to make good on the first half of his proposition. The Angels In the South ( don't seem able to stop the Beavers and so the bal anoe of the way ought to be easy slid ing. Chance Big tor Players. - The Portland-Oakland series prom ises to be an exhibition that will draw some money for the players. It will be particularly inviting if the oaks can win the series from the Vernonitas, for there are a lot of bugs from Com muterville who think that their club Is the real thing. ; Five games are to bo played by the two clubs. The first one will be at Oakland on the Thursday following the close of the season. Then they will move across the bay to San Francisco and wind up their set-to In San Fran cisco on Sunday afternoon. - The winners will divide 0 per cent of the net receipts and the losers will have to be satisfied with 40 per cent. That extra 20 per cent is worth playing for, so the fans are ensured of some real scrappy arguments. I don't know what authority the umpires will have, but they oughtsto be In full charge In order to keep unruly players In check. Pattexsost Geta Tttle. Patterson, playing first base for the Villagers, earned the title of row dy for himself the first of the week. He didn't like a decision that was giv en by Van Haltren, calling him .out at second base, and rushed at the um pire as if to strike him. He was or dered away, but allowed, for the time being, to remain in the game. In the next Inning he tried to argue the point and was thrown off the field. As he left the diamond, he made a fool of himself. President Oraham was in the stand at the time and how he. ever allowed tho Incident to go by un noticed is more than most of the fans can understand. The case was as ag gravated as that of Hoffman, of the Oaks, and the Commuter was suspend ed for seven days. It la possible that Harry Suter will not play ball another year, although that is not certain. A little bird has It that he is soon to marry a Portland girl and that she would prefer to see him retire from his work on the mound and get Into business of some sort. Harry has not been going well himself this season and may figure it out that this is as good a time as any other to quit. Blld-Wlnter Baseball Planned. A lot of the boys are figuring on a little mid-Winter baseball to keep them busy this season. Catcher Walter Schmidt, of the locals, is Intending to remain on the Coast this Winter. He would like to annex a Job In San. Fran cisco If there is a chance, but if . not he Is talking of golnt; to Los Angeles. Pete Grant, of Portland, has been a San FranclscoTlsltor this week, tak ing In the ball games. Pete Is quite a favorite with the San Francisco news paper boys and he always occupies a front seat In the press stand. He tells us the rather surprising news that some of the blase Portland fans, hav ing won enough pennants, would Just as soon see Happy cop the rag, but that seems to be spreading it on a "bit thick." e Chiefly, he is boosting his boy, Dick, who, it appears, has developed into something of a sprinter. Dick, accord ing to Pete, can do the hundred In 10 1-6, and Dad is training him with a view to entering him in the track championships during the Panama-Pacific Exposition. SIX COLLEGES FOIX IX MEET Eight Men Will Be Sent aa Team From Each College. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Se attle, Wash., Oct. 12. (Special.) Revo lutionizing track athletics on the Pacific- Coast, Oregon and Washington universities have abandoned the trian gular teacje meet between Oregon. Washington and Idaho and have sub stituted for It a conference meet with six institutions. The conference meet, which will Include Oregon, Washington, Washington State College. Idaho, Whit man and Oregon Agricultural College, probably will be held in Seattle in the Spring. Each institution will be represented by eight men. The triangular meet, which has been an Institution for some years, was, in practice, a dual meet, as Idaho has never taken any very active part in it. Manager Hayward, of Oregon, and Zed nick, of Washington, have been in com munication for some time arranging for the change. PORTLAND HOLDS FIRST 20 WEEKS Statistics of Coast - League Play ShovfSeals and An gels Disappoint? WILL DANNY LONG GO NOW? Portland Fans Are Still Shakinp Heads Over si 7-1 and 17-5 Doubleheader at Vernon , on Sunday Villagers Iucky. BT ROSCOB FAWCETT. Portland has been In first place In the Pacific Coast League approximately JO weeks during the current season, which will oome to Its 30 weeks' finale one week from tomorrow. Vernon on the other hand, has been In the cove ted groove only six weeks of the year, but. since July 16. under the able hand ling of Happy Hogan, has been con tinually within striking distance of the pennant. Oakland showed flashes of pennant winning form, creeping into second place in May and again In July, but since Independence day Wolverton s scrappy aggregation haa been a steady habitant of the third position. San Francisco and Los Angeles have been the disappointments of the sea son The Seals particularly seemed to fall to pieces about the middle of July, tumbling headlong from first place to third and later, about October 1, into fourth below the Sacramento green socks. . , Patsy O'Rourke and Hogan have fur nished the real thrillers in their re spective divisions. Hocan had a first mortgage on the hunting when the Portland Beavers left on their final three weeks' finish away from home, but the pace proved too hot. In the second division O'Rourke's Senators, who finished In last place a year ago. bid fair to end the year in fourth. O'Rourke will bp back at Sac ramento next season and promises to assemble an aggregation that will fin ish first or second. This year ho was forced to take the reins over a team not of his own choosing. Last season Portland and Oakland went into first and second places, re spectively, about August 15 and those positions were maintained to the close although the Oaks threatened to Jar up through the second place roof al most up to the final games on No vember S. The percentages were, Port land .567, Oakland .555. e a a According to Harry B. Smith, the clever San Francisco sport scribe, rumors of a new slate for the Seal management are floating Idly on the breeze. "I don't know how true the stories are, but it is said that Ewing and his associates think the club would go better with a player manager than with av manager like Long," pens Smith. The 'writer heard whisperings of a similar nature when the Seals were In Portland on their last- disastrous series and put this question direct to Cal Swing, who was here with the team: 'Ta It a fact that you propose hir ing manager after the style of Wol verton, of Oakland, who Is personally aoquatnted with Eastern- ballplayers and who can travel with the squad?" "I don't see how all these stories etart," answered Cal. "Just because the team suffers from Injuries and sickness and doesn't win all Its hall games we hear all sorts of tommyrot about dissatisfaction between the play ers and the manager and the probable canning of all concerned. Just, say for me there Is nothing to It. "Danny Long, I feel sure, will be found at the helm another season." see Portland fans are still shaking their heads over the 27-1 and 17-5 double header at Vernon last Sunday morning, wondering by all the powers that rule balldom how the Beavers could slough off a game by the unheard-of score of 27-1 and come back and defeat the same aggregation In the afternoon, 17-6. From details of the furious fussing It appears that when Walt McCxedie saw there was. no chance the Beavers were told to enjoy the fun. Benny Henderson, on the mound, took Mac at his word and cut up all sorts of capers, heaving the ball over his head backwards to the batter and finally throwing it under his legs, around his neck and from various other freaky positions. Some of the Vernon players were real fortunate in picking up loose change during the series, Roy Hitt copped of! $45 for winning two games and Pat terson and Brashear $100 apiece foi timely clouting. . Hogan's 'declaration that he would give 12500 for the Immediate delivery of Roy McArdle, the . San Francisco shortstop. Is stagy but rather amus ing. The Coast League has a rule pre venting any club from selling to an other during the final 30 days of the season so as to prevent the -strengthening of any one team to win a pen nant. Consequently Hogan knew h could not have purchased McArdle for 125.000.

As a sample of-the humor one may find In the old est form of recreation on record, the following are, splendid samples of golf wit: "How do" you do it?" cried the stranger as his opponent holed out a roundabout put for the match on an undulating green.
