FARCICAL GAME IS RESENTED BY FANS Beavers "Lay Down" to Oaks in Miserable Exhibition by Score of 9 to 4. PLAYERS LOAF IN FIELD Allan Butim. Sonn-to-Bo-TTe'ldTit of Leagne. In TMaguat at RagC-d Work, to Prohibit Such Scries In the Fnture. PAN' FRNCI?CO. Oct. l (Special.) It. little wTOfr that San Francisco .asebaU fans don't take to post-sea-exhibitions. Oakland grabbed the third jam of the farcical series with the Beavers today, thereby giving them an edge on an honor that doeant amount to much. Tha smallest crowd of the week turned out at Recreation Park and saw the opposing clubs go through the motions. - Koeetner loat everything but his rlove in the fourth Inning, when the Commuter chaaed themselves around the bancs for seven runs and the ses sion wound up with the trans-bay con tfr.rent out in front. I l 4. After the Commutervllle nine had rlncked the game In that fourth spasm. It appeared to be a case of which aide rnulrt retire the quickest. Some of the .-rat.-hlest of hits In the seventh, aid ed an. I abetted by a bae on balls, helped Portland to a couple of runs and In a measure made the score look more even than would otherwlne have been the case. A good percentage of that amall rrowd was hastening to tha street long before tha finish and there waa no one to blame them for their disgust. It wasn't baseball and It wasn't even a good farce, such as waa put up on the last day of the regular aeason. Tha pitchers were not trying, tha batsmen didn't seem to car very much whether they hit tha ball, the base runnera went along In happy-go-lucky fashion, and the fielders did Just about as they pleased. In fact. It was an Im position on those who had paid over their coin. The soon-to-be-elected president. Allan T. Baum. has announced that In the future post-season series of this nature will not be permitted, and ha vtlll be doing the best thing In the world for the game If he calls a halt.

A check for S243f9 was In the hands of each of 19 players of the New York Nationals to day as their share of the proceeds of the world's aeries. Two other players. Catcher Hartley and Infielder Paulette, divided one of the remaining shares, the former getting 11827.29 and the lat ter SiiOS.lu. One full share remaina and that will probably be divided between t'oach Wllbert Robinson. Pitcher Max well. Outfielder Burns and Trainer Ed llackell. The players made up a con. trlbutlon among themselves for Al Rrldwell. who was traded to Boston In the middle of the seaaon. whereby the latter will draw down the equivalent of one-half of a regular share. Having lost out In tha series, the players have decided to accept the proposition of tha Cuban promoter and take a Jaunt to the Island for 12 games. Such a trip would not have been permissible had they won tha world's series. The playera will leave here oo No vember 10 and will aatl from Cuba on the return trip on December 19. Gamea will be played on Saturdays. Monday and Thursdays for four successive weeks, making 13 games In all. The playera have been guaranteed 1500 each and all ezpensea for the trip. BASKETBALL NEW OREGON" AIM I nlvcrnlty Aim to Capture Champion-hip With Strong Quintet. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON." Eugene. Or, Oct. !S. (Special.) Even though Oregon doea not pierce Washington University's monopoly of athletic cham pionships In football this Fall, as it did In track last Spring. It la planning to enter the hero market through an other line of sport In which, until re cently, it was a negligible force. In all Northwest athletic history, tha University of Oregon has held mora major sport football and track cham pionships than any other college, but In the minor Indoor sport, basketball. It haa not brought home a single title. Last year Oregon walloped every team In the conference at least once, only to lose the decisive game and he championship by a single point to the University of Washington. In Its four games with the Seattle college. Oregon made six more points, but, at thau it dropped three of the games: the only three that It loat of the 12 conference matches. It scored 104 points to Its opponents 1(9. Now If there la truth In the Seattle report that Olson Is the only Washing' ton regular In college, the Eugene con tingent will begin the aeason with a distinct advantage. For of the 1910 five all but Elliott, guard, are again In col lege. Captain Jamison, all-Northwest choice at forward, la already working out lc the gymnasium, and Fenton. tha giant ail-Northwest center will Join him In all probability, aa soon as tha grid Iron aeason wanes. Sims, guard, and Walker, forward, both 1910 regulars, are again available aa are Moore and Fisher of last year's reserve list. Of the seven players composing last year's crack freshman team, every one Captain Roberts. Bradshaw. Rice, Brooks, Vierlck. Meek and Motschen hscher are hark on the rectangle. Nor will Coach Havward be In dire want of basket tossers from tha fresh men ranka. Among the new men who will compete in the coming tussle for squad stalls are Russell Brooks, of Salem, a former Orearon Agricultural College forward: Don Rader, the ver satile Medford youngster, who turned down a Boston American baseball con tract to enter college! Tom Boylen. a lively midget from Pendleton Hlgs School; Parsons and Oould. who were paired at guard booths on the 1910 outfit at Washington High School. Quality tests will be provided by tha various Interclass and Interfraternlty games which will ring In soon after the Thanksgiving holidava. A Southern trip through to California, points Is practi cally arranged to condition the var slty for the Inter conference schedule Thts contemplated Junket will coma during the Christmas recess.

Santa Maria Will He Training Gronnd Xext Yeap Chief Does Not Like Fartern Rain. W. W. McCredle. president of th Portland baseball club, has returned from his Eastern trip, where be saw the first three gamea of the world's series, and becoming disgruntled with the frequent postponements, decided to return to Oregon, where It does not rain all the time. Judge McCredle no sooner arrived home than he commenced planning the baseball plant to be erected by the Portland club at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets for next seaaon. and yesterday afternoon spent several hours consulting with different architects relative to drawing up the plans for the new grounds. Many featurea of the- new Polo Grounds In New York City and Shtbe Park In Philadelphia will be embraced In the new Port land park, besides arveral featurea of the Cleveland and Chicago American League grounds. Architects have been Invited to submit plana and Judge Mo Credle said he expected to have sev eral sets submitted within the next two weeks. He eald construction of the new standa and bleachers would be started aa soon as possible. When asked what he thought of Henry Berry'a Idea of the Pacific Coast League becoming a major league In the next five years. Judge McCredle replied that be had entertained the same Idea of the ultimata advancement of this circuit for the past three years, and added then he thought It was quite likely to occur within that length of time. He aald he waa planning to at tend the meeting of the Pacific Coast League at San Francisco next month, but refused 'to commit himself for president. It Is not believed he la op posed to Allan T. Baum, the San Fran cisco sporting writer who Is slated for the office, according to J. Cal Ewlng. e Santa Maria la to be the acene of the Beavers' preparatory work next Spring. according to Walter Mc Credle. Walter likes the little Cali fornia town from whence ha has turned out two championship teama in succes sion and haa decided to return his club for preparatory training next Feb ruary. "Santa Maria has done pretty well by me." said McCredle yesterday, "and I see no reason for going elsewhere when the loyal fans are anxious for tha Beavers to return. We only lost four actual daya of training, and the big gest Inconvenience we suffered waa tha flood. However, the overflow of tha river did not hamper our training, as we managed to make use of the ball grounds Just the same, and because of the climatic conditlona I am quit well satisfied to prepare mjr team there once more." Hatchery Gets Sockeye Eggs. Deputy Fish Warden Rathbun re turned yesterday from Alaska, where he went three week ago to secure a consignment of 2.000.000 sockeye sal mon eggs to be hatched at tha Bonne ville hatchery. This Is the aecond lot to be handled by the Oregon commis sion. It Is part of a plan undertaken to determine If the Columbia River can be restocked with this species of fish. Formerly there were large numbers of sockeye salmon In the Oregon streams, but they gradually diminished. 1.000" CAMERA SHOWS f 1 BEAUTY " IS FREAK POSE, Kikt" Marquard.

' a. - - - &i .j." i ; t THE SUNDAY PHOTOGRAPHS Unofficial batting averages of the players of the Pacific Coast League up to and Including the final games ot the season last Sunday give Heinle Heltmuller, the big Lo Angeles out fielder, the leadershipof the organiza tion over Buddy Ryan their respective marks being .343 to .339. Heltmuller has not participated In as many games as has Ryan. Because ol this the Beaver batter will be entitled to first honors even though having a mark a few points less than Heinle's. Heltmuller did not Join the Angels un til miilseason and played In hardly halt as many games as did Ryan, who main tained first place among the batsmen practically the entire season. The Beaver slugger waa only nosed out of the lead during the last week of the season, when he slumped against the Seal pitchers, while Heltmuller slugged the cover- off the ball against the Vernon twlrlers. Ltndsny. Rapps, Kruesr and Rodg ers, of Portland, each finished with first-class marks for the season, each man having a mark of above .270. while Chadbourne, Pecklnpaugh, Shee han and Kuhn each wound up the sea eon by getting at least one hit In every four trips to the -plate, which is con sidered hignly capable .batting any where. George Btlnson. the awkward out fielder of the Vernon club, was the leading batsman for that aggregation, while Harl Maggart carried off the honors as first hitter among the Oaks. Big John Tledemann. the Oak flrst sacker, finished out the season with a highly respectable average, and so did Tommy Madden, the ex-Seal, who rounded out the season with Sacramen to In fine style.

Without WlthdraM-al From Organ ized Baseball, Berry Believes Special Clarification Reault. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28. (Special.) That the Coast League will realize lta ambition to become a major organisa tion within the next five years Is the belief expressed by Henry Berry, who has returned from the East, where he held countless confabs with the bashaws of baseball. This does not necessarily mean. Berry says, that the Coast League will withdraw from organized baseball. In fact, he la conndent that the league will accomplish its purpose peaceably. Baseball leaders like Garry Hermann, chairman of the National commission, and Ban Johnson, president of the American League, he says, appreciate the fact that the rapid growth In pop ulation on the Pacific Coast and the, league's Isolation In a geographical sense, give It a position at once unique and commanding in baseball, and eventually will result In its being ac corded a classification that will entitle It to all the Immunities and privileges of a major league. , All this. It Is believed, will be ac compllahed by arbitration, when the time arrives. While the Coast League is well equipped with the sinews of war, and undoubtedly would win If It came to a right. It Is not going around with a chip on Its shoulder, and Is not courting trouble. Most of the mag nates have learned by bitter experience that baaeball wars are exceedingly ex pen five pastimes, and usually fruitless. That the Coast and other minor leagues will be relieved of some of the evils which have been afflicting them when the powers of baseball gather for the meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues at San Antonio. Tex.. Novem ber 15, la practically assured, and the war clouds which hovered over the horizon a few weeks ago are no longer visible. The 10-year agreement, which expired early In September, and which will be renewed with material modifi cations, has already been drawn up, and In all probability will be accepted, according to Berry.

T THE committee of fans In charge of raising the subscription for pre senting each member of the Portland team with a souvenir of the champion ship will begin active work Monday. Almost 1100 has been voluntarily pledged to this fund already, and the fans have not been visited by the solic iting committee as yet. ' a a a Big Ed Walsh, the giant heaver of the Chicago White Sox, so stirred the fans of Chicago by his work last season that they raised 14000 and bought him a buzz wagon. a a a "Ping" Bodle, erstwhile fence buster for C.

While en route to San Francisco a bunch of en thusiastic bugs from Vallejo. where "Ping", first started fence-busting, nab bed him off the "rattler" and escorted him to the village near the Navy-yard for the purpose of entertaining him right royally. According to Eastern advices Clark Griffith, leader of the Cincinnati Reds, of forlorn hope memory last season, may be retained as leader of that ag gregation next season, despite the ru mors of a prospective change. It seems that the Cincinnati players got tip a petition when they heard that "Griff" was to be deposed, and. requested Garry Herrmann to retain the "Old Fox." While Vernon did not win the pen nant, the fans and supporters of Happl cus Hogan and his warriors have not finished entertaining them yet. Since the end of the pennant race the Vernon team has-been feted, dined and enter tained on an extensive scale, yet the proposed presentation of a trifling sou venir to the champion Beavers has not met with nearly the enthusiasm that It should. Portland fans ought to get busy for the sake of the reputation of the city, if not because of the great work of the baseball team. Burma n Buys Sew Racing Car. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct iS.

NO CHANGE IN SEALS' HEAD Cliarlle Graham Acquires Exclusive Control of Sacramento Club and Boston Red Sox Will Hold String No Longer. BT HARRf B. 6HTTH. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 28. (Special.) Now Is the Winter of our discontent. Th baseball season has come to-an end and aside from Indulging in political predictions as to the future of the game and wondering about the line ups for next season, there isn't much in sight Of course that post-season series between Portland and Oakland carried the boys a week further than might have otherwise been the case, but it didn't count for very much as a news getter. The post-season series, in fact, didn't meet with any great enthusiasm on the part of the fans. First of all. the season is over and the Beavers clnfched the pennant. That didn't leave much to be desired and every baseball fan knows to how little or how much an exhibition series amounts. Doubtless the news of the week was the return home of J. Cal Ewlng, from New York, and his statement that the directors of .the league would elect Allan T. Baum as secretary, treasurer and president There was little doubt of this election but the statement from Ewlng means that he has talked with Judge McCredle and that the Portland baseball magnate Is favorable to the selection of the San Francisco sporting writer for the Job. Unquestionably the deal was fixed up while Ewlng, Mc Credle and Berry were In the East Examiner Writer Leads League. The election, however, will doubt less be delayed until after the meeting of the minor association of baseball leagues that will be held at San An tonio, Texas, the middle of November. Ewlng has some reason for desiring this and what he says has considerable weight, as past events have proved. The soon-to-be president Is a chap about 35 years of age, who haa been a number of years In the newspaper game and is thoroughly conversant with sports. He Is to be delegated full authority in handling the affairs of the league and one of the first things to be stopped will be all forms of rowdyism on the diamond. The very first break that a ball player makes will mean "his being pun ished for the act and that will be kept up if necessary. The fact that Baum is to devote all of his attention to the Coast League and to resign from the Examiner, with whose sport ing staff he has been connected, means that the league will gain from the standpoint of publicity. Baseball Is a big thing on the Pacific Slope these days but the right kind of a man and especially with Baura's newspaper training ought to have no trouble in making the organization more popu- Also. according to Ewlng. It la said there are to be no changes in the man agement of the local club. I put the question straight to him as to whether he intended securing a new manager and he replied: -Graham Exclusive Owner. "So far as I know at the present nothing of the sort Is contemplated. I don't blame either Long or Kid Mohler for the showing of the Beals In the pennant race. Sickness had a lot to do with the club and there were members of the team who didn't take the beet care of themselves. I expeot that Long will again be the manager of the club, although, of course, it Is not always possible to forecast the future." . An Interesting meeting will be held In either Chicago or Cincinnati, No vember 10, when representatives of the Eastern League, the American Associa tion and the Pacific Coast League gather with the National commission to discuss matters of Importance. The meeting. It Is officially announced, will be quite Informal In character, but if a guess might be hazarded, there will be things done at that time. The minors want a stricter interpretation of the drafting rules, and they want less buy ing and selling of players. Ewlng has hinted In the past of the reforms that ' . a a a TROPHY OFFERED TO STIR INTEREST IX AMATEIR FOOTBALL LEAGVE. . . , t 1 V4f ' ' ' Prise That Goes' to Champions.

The league Is composed of 11 olubs. cut Into two divisions, one to play on Saturday after noons and the others to hook up on, Sundays. The Sabbath class includes the Alblna Juniors, T. M. C. A., F.
