ODDS AGAINST SPOKANE

Much to Co With Placing Flag.

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.

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

Nathaniel A. Carle. Stanford foot

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,

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.
