Newspaper Page TextfHE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. SEPTEMBER 8, 1913. 3 SEATTLE 15 PICKED TO WIN PENNANT Nick Williams Thinks Giants, Though Slower, Will Out strip Indians. ODDS AGAINST SPOKANE Series With Colts This Week to Have Much to Co With Placing Flag. Vancouver Champs Are "ot Yet Ont of the Race. BT JAMES H. CASSELL. ' Seattle will win the 1912 Northwest. ' - em League pennant." So say .Manager Williams of the Port. land Colts, and the majority of hi diamond hirelings. "Seattle is the team we, will have to beat to win the pennant." So say Bob Brown, of Vancouver, and Harry Ostdlek, of Spokane. A glimpse at the remaining schedul of the season heartily Indorses the pre diction of the Portland manager and the fears of the other leaders. If D. E. Dugdale does not flaunt pennant over his new Seattle park next bummer his team must suffer a slump during the next three weeks, which wi he long remembered in tsje class circuit. " Oddj. Favor Seattle. Seattle Is a schedule favorite. Not that the man of play was drawn with an eye to the chances of the Potlatch Bugs, but with the end In sight, the fact, terrorizing to Spokane and Van couver, is disclosed that Seattle fin lshes the season with series against Victoria, Portland and Tacoraa, the - tail-end clubs. Add to this the fact that six, and possibly only three, of these final games will be played out side of the diminutive Seattle park, and the advantage cannot be overestimated. Northwestern League managers are prone to point the finger of suspicion to the deal whereby Seattle secured Nlll and Meikle, two of Tacoma'i best players, on th'e eve of two series with the Tigers, and another within two weeks. However, the deal was con summated. at the expense of Concan non. Chick and 11000, and with these acquisitions, together with a highly . Xavorable schedule. Seattle cannot be other than a redhot favorite. Spokane Must "Buck Cp." While Seattle la plucking the second division clubs in the Sound "hen coop.' what about Spokane and Vancouver, the contenders? A mention of the com Ing Portland series would be night mare enough for Spokane tans, but add to this the final tussle with Vancouver in the Canadian stronghold, with the sandwiching In of a Tacoma series as the only solace, and it is evident the Indians must play at least Z0 per cent better and luckier ball than Seattle to stand an equal chance for the pen nant. Vancouver has a better closing ached ule than Spokane and one not so good as Seattle. The disparity In the per centage table standings shoves the Ca nadians down to the level of Spokane. Fob Brown's squad play Tacoma next week. This should be an easy series, but following It comes one with Vlc- tons, which has broken even with an- rotiver this season. The final series Is against Spokane. It seems likely that the winner of that last series at van rouver will finish the season In sec ond place. e "X home finish and the pitching of Thompson, Fullerton and James, with the first two almost certain winners in the Seattle park. Is what Is going to give rugdale's men the pennant," says Nick 'Williams. "Thompson and Fullerton are eplt ball pitchers, and James is no novice in the use of the saliva delivery. With these three twisting the ball around the knees of the opposing batters, forc ing them to hit the ball on the ground Instead of towards tnose short fences, It is east- for the long-fly hitters to give Prattle victory. 'Spokane Is faster, two to one, than Seattle, but I don't figure the Indians to finish In front. Of course neither Spokane nor Vancouver are out of the race, but if I were betting on the out come, Seattle would carry my money." Portland fans will have their final opportunity to see the Colts In action this week. The Spokane Indians will open an eight to 10-game series here tomorrow afternoon which will have much to do with the championship. The two clubs heve played 15 games this season, each winning 13 and the other a tie. Portland has won two of the four series, one at home, four to one, and the other at Spokane. On past performances the Colts should do better than break even, taking at least five or nine games, which seems the llKely number with good weather, one daily for the first five days and double headers on Saturday and Sunday. The Colts are supremely confident that they can defeat the Indiana Thev have had better luck against only one club. Tacoma, this season. ' If our catchers can 'hold the Indians on the bases we will take six games." says llliams. If the Colts take six games from the Indians, second f third place is the best Joe Cohns braves can achieve this season. The extra-game series will result from one postponed game In Portland and two in Spokane. The playing of all would mean a 10-game series, but eight or nine will be the number. The Colts must not overlook the danger of losing the leadership of the second division to Victoria. The Bees have been playing bang-up ball for the past six weeks, the hitting of the club balancing the pitching weakness, and unless the Fortlandcrs humble Spokane this week and make fair showings against Victoria and Seattle in the last weeks of the season, they will fall to hold the position they now occupy. WRFSTLER CONFESSES CRIME Walter Hauaafus Surrenders, Saving He Killed Friend. PES MOINES. Sept. 7 Walter Hans, afus. a Des Moines heavyweight wres tler, surrendered himself today to the police here as the slayer of Elmer Wal lace, a former friend, who died last night. Wallace was found lying In a gutter with his skuli fractured and died later in a hospital. Haugafus. beyond confessing that he killed Wallace, would make no state ment. ' Greer Wins Sculling Match. BOSTON. Sept. 7. Frank B. Greer, ex-amateur National champion sculler, defeated William Haines, a prominent English professional sculler, in a three, mile race on the Charles River today. Greer had a quarter of a length lead when he crossed the finish line. As a result of the race, Greer claimed the sculling championship of the United Stales.

That close to 75 canoe enthusiasts will essay the 71-mile trip from Salem to Portland next Fall is the prediction made by Art A. Allen, captain of the Portland Bowing Club, under whose auspices this second Jaunt will be held. "Our experiment proved a bowling success and the trip down the Wil lamette River will be an annual event ereafter." declared Allen.

"We lunched 20 miles down from Salem Sunday noon." continued Mr. Allen, outlining the trip. " "That day we covered 43 miles, camping for the night four miles below Newberg. It rained during the night, but most of the boys had tents along. At o clock the next morning we again set out Rain was 'still coming down a little at the start, but the weather soon cleared and we had. a fine day. "We lunched at Rock Island, near New Era at noon.

FOOTBALL RULES CHANGE FOR GOOD 1912 Regulations Shorten Field Length and Add Use fulness to Forward Pass. TOUCHDOWN TO SCORE SIX Intervals Between Periods Briefer; Kickoff Is From 40-Yard Line and "Downs' Are "Increased From Three to Four. BY ROSCOB FAWCETT. Another week and college football will be setting up steam for the fall campaign. Here in Portland the Mult nomah Club will unpack the mole skins for the first practice of the sea son this morning. The "Rah! Rah! Rah s! will soon be echoing over housetop and treetop, but what about the new rules? That's the all-absorb ing topic in pigskin circles. Spaldings guides were issued in the East during the week, but they will likely not reach the Coast for another fortnight- We'll run over the changes briefly, therefore, adding a few per sonal comments on the side, so as to freshen the minds of those who have but hazy remembrances . of the sur gery performed by the gridiron doa tors last winter In New York. Those who have studied over the advance copies of the guide books are unanimous in the belief that this fall will see a large number of high-score games. The trouble "with the rules last year was the overbalancing of the attack by the defense. There was not enough scoring by the teams which were entitled to cross the end lines. Changes to Add Thrills. Two encouragements have been add ed. The number of downs for gain ing the required 10 yards has been In creased from three to four. And the 20-yard sone limiting the flight of for ward passes has been eliminated. As a result of the first alteration we are bound to see less punting and more of the rushing which the specta tors have so sadly missed. We "will see a return to the plunglner backfleld men. There is no more thrilling play in the game than when a stocky half back hurls himself through a hole in the enemy s front. We will see more of the old-fashioned end runs, for. with four downs to make the distance, the rushing attack off the extremities is bound to come into favor. There you have it in a nutshell- thathrilling rushing game without tho old push and pull, with no objection able mass play formations to mar th pleasure of the sport. Improvement is inevitable. Under the system of the big teams last year a team would try to rush the ball once and then If it failed, a punt would follow. This was all right for the punters, but decided ly uninteresting from the spectator's point of view. One thine seems cer tain, there'll be no punting duels this Fall. . , Forward Pass Is Improved, The changes in the forward pass regulations are. also steps in advance. There was too much restriction and too much technicality last Fall. For ward passes longer than 20 vards were illegal; forward passes of any length over the goal lines were illegal. Now all this is swept away, with the pen alties of the 20-yard zone applying all over the field. The forward pass over tne goat line should be a valuable scoring play. Under the old regime as the attack neared the goal line it was not onlv deprived of its forward pass and its attacking power weakened, but the opposition defense was strengthened and tightened by the pulling in of the forward pass protectors, no longer needed. The injustice of this is ap parent. The better team might plow majestically the entire length of the field, but unless its superiority was plainly marked, it was prevented from fulfilling that which it had earned, viz., a touchdown. Under the new regulation permit ting passes of any length it will b interesting to watch what the crafty Dobie will uncork at Washington Uni versity, what Johnny Bender will pro duce at Washington State, and what Coaches Pinkham, Dolan, Sweetland and Hahn have in store. A zone line has been established 10 yards behind each goal line and up to that limit passes over the goal are legal. The field has been shortened from 110 to 100 yards, but the extra zones outside the playing field on each end make the tielci, in reality, 120 yards in length. Touchdown Connts 6. The rushing, scoring game has been further encouraged by the rise in the valuation of a touchdown, from five to six points. Thus, with a successful place kick after touchdown, It will be possible to make seven points on a touchdown. This is better because two goals from the field should never beat one touchdown from which goal has not been kicked. Under the old rules the kickoff was made from the center of the field, then the 55-yard line. With a shorter field the attacking side would have too much of an advantage, so the ball this Fall will be kicked, from 4he attacking side's own 40-yard line, or '60 yards from the opponents' goal line. This will brlng the scrimmaging closer to the middle of the field, which is a distinct im provement. On a touch back the ball will now be brought out to the 20 yard line, instead of to the 25-yard line. Another change in the kickoff regu lation is the abolition of the rule giv ing the winner of the toss his choice at the start of the game and again at the beginning of the second half. Hereafter the loser will get his choice of receiving or kicking-off at the com-, mencement of the secondary stage of the fray. Another improvement. The old regulation was not only antiquated but it was asinine. ' Delays. Axe Eliminated. The time between the first and sec ond and the third and fourth quarters has been cut down from two to one minute, which means virtually that play will resume the moment the ref eree has changed the oval to its proper place at the opposite end of the field. There will be only one man from each team on the sidelines hereafter, likely the head coach. The onslds kick has been done away with, but as the play never lent many possibilities there'll be no Chopin march over that funeral. Nor will there be any fluke dropkicks bounc ing over the crossbars to give some team a crazyqullt and ill-earned vic tory, such as the Princeton team took from Dartmouth In 1911. And, glory be, we've said our fond farewell to the field Judge. It is difficult enough to secure two competent officials let alone three and the triple require ment generally resulted in at least one official who knew less about the tech nical side of the game than a mule knows about the binomial theorem. One man, whether he be right or Roosevelt, can stir up an awful mix ing, so let's all toast to the new regu lation providing that the head lines man keep time and usurp most of the other duties which fell upon the field judge. A referee and an umpire can do all the officiating needed. X. A. CARLE GETS HIGH POST Old Stanford Football Player Is Em ployed in Xew Jersey. Nathaniel A. Carle. Stanford foot ball hero of a dozen years ago, has just been appointed chief engineer of the Publlo Service Corporation of New Jersey. Mr. Carle, whose home is in Seattle, was chosen for the position after a canvass of the most lmportan. electrical experts In the United States. Carle is well known among the old time football fans of- Portland, having played in several games against Mult nomah Club. Sawdust to Cover Gridiron. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) The Willam ette athletic authorities have ordered 150 loads of sawdust to cover the foot ball field. This is the first time that Willamette field has ever been entirely covered wita sawdust, but formerly small areas here and there were treat ed. Now that the contour of the field is a gentle sldpe from center to each side line, it is believed that the heavy rains will cause little trouble.

HUNTING NOTES ALTHOUGH the early Tains were ex pected to drive the ducks to the feeding and wintering grounds of the lowlands of Oregon In great numbers, they have seemingly not been heavy enough, for many of the men who took advantage of the opening week did not get the. big hags . that tney promisea themselves. One of the record bags of the season was probably the one brought in by Sam Archer, C. H. Hjermstadt. Archie Rice and L. C. McClintock, who nave tract on the Lower illamette Slough. Thcv loft for tne 'grounds fcaturaay night and before Monday had managed to bring 49 of the hlgn-nyers to tne ground. The birds themselves were all of the best and all of the varieties common to these parts were among them. As in former years, the sloughs of the Willamette and Columbia below Portland are for the most part the scene of the Sunday hunting, because of their easy access to the Portland hunters. Scappoose seems to be a sort of hunters' Mecca, but on all sides of this ctty there are sppts which offer the best chance to the hunters of the duck. Across the river from this point If Sauvies Island, which Is dotted with private and open hunting lakes. Down the Willamette Slough and back to wards Portland are various branches and inlets of the slough, many of which are dotted with the bird early, before tho nasslne- trains frighten thern orr According to report from some of the hunters who have gone further down the river, the marshlands of the Lower Columbia offer good sport. The Columbia sloughs, near the Van couver Ferry, have some'blrds when the attack is made at the right time of the day. Many have come home empty handed, but M. Mitchell, extensive land holder on the "sloughs." does not com plain at all and declares the start of the season to be better than usual. . S. B. Archer and wife spent the week at Hot Lake and enjoyed some excel lent hunting and fishing. They are expected back the middle of the week. Joe Smith, the famous Multnomah Clubvathlete, will try his skill with a scatteY-B-un in the Joseph Stutt-Harry Howland party today. The contingent left last night for the Smith property, on Sauvle's Island. The Athenian pre serve furnished some excellent sport at the opening last Sunday. Ivan Humason and Oliver K. Jeffery, well known realty experts, have not invaded their hunting ground on the upper end of Sauvle's Island " as yet. After their predecessors have banged away to their hearts' content, Messrs Humason. Jeffery. et al.. expect to go out and do some real shooting. Mr. and Mrs. Jeffery have been spending the summer at Long Beach. . Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Topperweln, ceerbrated marksmen, representing a powder concern, will give a free exhi bition of their skill at the Kenton traps at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, weather permitting Two or three years ago at San Antonio Mrs. Topper weln broke 9(1 of 1000 pigeons thrown from the regulation traps. Her hus band one time shot for 10 days with a rifle at 72.500 2 14 -Inch, wooden blocks thrown into the air, missing only nine of the entire lot and only four of the first 50.000. Ira L. Cash leaves on September 15 for a 10 days! quest after deer in the Grants Pass neighborhood. . J. E. Culllson. president of the" Port land Gun Club, had expected to be on his way to attend tne California State shoot at Sacramento. Owing , to the rain, he has postponed his trip until the forepart of this week. Mr. Culll son, Morris Abrahams, oeorge iignt- hoff and others in the weekly excur sions party, departed last night for a lay's duck shoot on Sauvle's Island. Dr. Byron E. Loomis is back from a deer hunting jaunt in the Tillamook region. One big buck was the reward Dr. Loomis Is In a party shooting at Duck Lake today. . DENSMORE TAKES 2:12 CONSOLATION Loomis Drives Non-Winner In $5000 Friday Race to " Saturday Victory. JUDGES ROAST RUNNERS Attempt to "Jockey" and Rumors of "Fixed" Programme Call Forth Denunciation Powell Is Thrown Over Fence. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 7. (Special.) . Straight heats in the three harness races today and mtxups in the running entries left the closing day of the State Fair races practically devoid of any features. Densmore, with Loomis up, took the 2:12 consolation purse for non-winners in the big Lewis and Clark S5000 purse of Portland day. Bernice R. was touted rather strong ly as a favorite in this consolation. She was drawn comparatively early In the race Thursday, when he had a chance for fourth money, and It was generally thought she was taken out for the consolation, although her driver gave assurance that she was ' tired. But Bernice R. was scratched, and on her way to Sacramento when today's race was announced. Densmore Starts Badly. Dan McKinney looked good In -the first heat, and so did Adam G. Dens more got away bad in each heat, and, even though taking the pole dropped behind the field, but made. a splendid recovery at the three-quarters for each heat, and walked in with a big lead at the stretch for the money. Roseburg Boy, who was picked as a good-chance In the 2:15 pace, was dis tanced In the first heat, and Dan Lo gan, a Calfornla horse, of the Dal rymple stables, took straight heats without an'effort. In the free-for-all Lady Slrus, with Springer driving, had no difficulty la taking straigtit heats from a small field. Each of the other horses had a second, third and fourtn, and the sec ond, third and fourtn money was even ly divided. Judges Roast "Jockeying." The runners came in for a roast from the - judges when they attempted to jockc-y on the entries and overturn a programme that was arranged b President Booth to give some of the riders a chance to make get-away money. President Booth refused tJ al low switching of the entries, as it was rumored that some of the races had been "fixed" under the new programme of the riders, and the entries were compelled to go as they looked the night before. Powell, riding Leo H In the three- fourths of a mile run, was thrown over the fence in the back stretch. but, barring a twisted neck, was un hurt. The track was the heaviest this aft ernoon of any day this week. The summary follows: 2:13 pace, purse SiOOu, State Fair purse. best three In five Dan Logan, b. g..
