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.

of Cnamplonahlp Serifs Caah.
NEW YORK. Oct. 2S. 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

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

the gymnasium, and Fenton. tha giant

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

JUDGE H'CREDrE RKTUTtXS AND
CONSULTS WITH AUCHITKCTS.
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.

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.

COAST MAJOR LEAGUE?
LEAGVE OX PACIFIC SLOPE
MAT RANK HIGH IX LAND.
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.

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. '

Big Ed Walsh, the giant heaver of

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.

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

handsome trophy was offered by
the automobile accessory dealers

in design and symbolic of the
great American Fall game.
The league Is composed of 11
olubs. cut Into two divisions,
one to play on Saturday after

was announced that there would be
racing at Jacksonville, Fla., from No
