"The Man Who Said the Giants Were Yellow and That Speaker Would Fizzle Out Came Up to Bat Twice and His Average Is .000" Abe's Philosophy. I Tidbit H iCGH FTJLLERTON'S world's series articles appearing daily In The Oregonian are causing more com- r' - ment than the once flamboyant corre spondence that passed between a cer- taln governor and a well-known sher iff. New York partisans have declared themselves on the Fullerton subject. Hughey will not be a guest of honor at the next session of the New York ' society. 'Fullerton Is too pronounced In his ' Beeton bias," said P. J. Mullaney, a local Giant enthusiast. "A couple of years back, when I lived In New York. Fullerton was fired off the Giants' bench by McGraw and he has been getting- back ever since. He" says Doyle is the only rood man the Giants have. Doyle was voted the automobile ' for being- the most valuable man in the National League, so I guess he bad to ' admit that." ' ' The New York Times Is running the Fullerton series and is printing pro and con statements from rabid fans. "Who was the guy that put Full In Fullerton," writes one bug. "Please let us know where Fullerton is going - to sit," barks a second dynamiter, while this gem drifted into- the Times office the second day of the Fullerton series: :r "Were I editor in chief of your paper -: I would take Fullerton by the band, gently but firmly lead him to the Pennsylvania Station, purchase him a ' ticket and say: 'Go, thou too porous piece of Swiss cheese, and stop not till 1 thou hit yon cattle gates where thou ; canst -mingle with thine own and be appreciated." Fans, as a general run, are peculiar ; beings. About 75 per cent of the New York fans now ranting at Fullerton hee-hawed and threw fits last Fall at ' the post-mortems of the New York writers, who led them to believe that " the Athletics had no more chance with the Giants than a one dollar bill has in a Joy ride procession. Personally we would . not like to drift so lar from shore without a life ' raft as Fullerton drifted. But his name is over his own peculiar brand of bunk, so we can all at least smile coldly at his discomfiture if the Giants finally win out In the clasn lor the golden gonfalon of fame. Then, dear reader, it'll be the turn of the other cross section of the bleacher gang to rise from its crude cradle to dash . blasphemy and execrations on the heads of the pro-Boston dopesters. Analyzing and doping winners is not a joyful avocation unless you're part and parcel of the game itself. Then the road is as straight as a pointer's . tail. The St. Louis Sporting News recently devoted an entire page to world's se ries views, and the symposium of the seers was soul-inspiring, but rather sorrowful. Every American League ball player chose Boston, while every National Leaguer lined up behind the Giants. Jennings, another Hughey, had the temerity, last Fall, to predict a New York victory, and because the Detroit manager did not lean over and kiss the collective forehead of his own league's champions, he was promptly Installed as High Hottentot of the Her etics. It's Junk versus bunk, analytics ver sus anaesthetics, any way you take It, so call off the hounds. Cobb, proclaimed the caliph of base ball's Bagdad when the Tigers were up In, the race, ranked eighth In the list this year. Speaker of Boston piled up o points and Walsh of Chicago 36. while Johnson of Washington. Mlah of w asning-ton. w ood or Boston and Col lins and Baker of the Athletics all headed the Georgia peach In the sea son's reckoning. . Cobb's percentage valuation was rated at 17. Bill Lange, chairman of the Coast commission, will call for his vote from the official scorers within the next few days. In Portland the official scoring is parcelled out like congressional seeds, so Bob Cronln, the baseball Methuselah In the local press box. was awarded the privilege of adding to the burdens of the Oregon Initiative and referendum. 'HIS, from the refined Bostonlan re porter sitting In the pressbox at the world's warfare contemplating the clash between culture and kale, poetry and population: "The semicircular erections were spiritually magnificent with their bev ies of beauties seated thereon, when the organization vulgarly known as the Red Sox trarfsversed the field In a gentlemanly fashion. One player seized the willow where it gave great est leverage and struck a graceful at titude. However, he struck nothing else, for Richard le Marquis, who eveloved the sphere, entered into a series of contortions, from which the globe finally emerged, describing i parabola whose orbit seemed unap proachable to the disconcerted sqlen tists. The process being repeated three consecutive times, the unfortunate ath lete retired." In short, somebody whiffed.) "His successor was more successful. succeeding in approaching into closer proximity to the tabloid, which he ejected violently Into the left-hand prairie, where it passed peacefully away In the hands of an unsympathetic barbarian, erroneously described In some journals as a Giant." Pass the tea, Gerald. POETLAXD DEER HUNTING- PASTY WHICH RETITRNED RECENTLY FROM SUCCESSFUL TRIP IN ' SOUTHERN OREGON. - f w I I III"" L (Ill I S i t M v POET came into the office during THAT Gus Hetlinff of Oakland will be awarded the benzine chariot offered the most valuable player in the Coast League is becoming more appar ent every day, although he will be hard pressed by Kane, Carlisle, Ber ger, Daley and Howard. The star-of - the winning team Is sure to be handed . the credit if his ability is anywhere near on a par with the wearer of the laurelbaum on some team down grade. The vote in the American League award illustrates this tendency. Tyrus PETE DALEY IS BEST "Fugitive Verse." That was just right. Everybody that saw it fled hastily. The only real poets nowadays are those who hide their identities until their stuff has been tried on the dog. One of them attributed this quatrain to Outfielder Murray, of New York, the morning before the series opened against Boston: Brtnr on your Wood and Collin, With all their pomp and rank Howe'er their curno Thev can't ce woree Than Bender, Coomb, and Plank, That poet knew what he was talking about, for whereas Murray was toe hit. less wonder of- 1911 against the Ath letics, he started off the BoBton series in such rare form as would make bap pho lock like a Fort Wayne bench-warmer. THE Ladles' Home Journal frothed for some months with attacks on the follies of women, such as beauty aids, skin foods, bust developers and the little odds and knick-knacks which the gentler sex Imagines will make all mankind fall and worship before her dazzling and radiant beauty. Tut, tut, Sadie, you are known, . But, on the other hand, did you ever know a bald-headed man, who at some period in his life, did not absolutely immerse himself in hair restorer?

CASSELL. "It shall be unlawful for anyone to shoot game birds from a vehicle." Such is the clause Game Warden Finley would have written into the game laws of Oregon at the next ses sion of the Legislature, eliminating the gentle practice of motoring out upon the country roada, halting with a honk and a flourish, and slaughter ing Inquisitive quail, grouse and pheasant, which heed passing vehicles -no more than the average bam' fowl. The law is aimed chiefly at motorists, who are enabledto run out from Port land and other cities to the shooting zone within a short time, but will in clude all vehicles. , . "This practice of shooting unsuspect ing birds from automobiles is becom ing more than a nuisance," says Mr. Finley. "Many birds are slaughtered cult, and the Pacific Coast League, too, incidentally, for years to come. The major leagues are wiser. They meet the big minors in the Spring, when a beating means nothing, but if any post-season imbroglios are entered into you will find them either mauling each other around the lot or tangling with some class B or C club. The B's, for Instance, are so far downstairs from real aristocracy as to put any manhandling In the flukey division. Even the dovetailing of the class AA's and the class B's, such as local fans were treated to a fortnight ago, is ex cusable, for nobody except a Spokane writer would take seriously any upset of the dope anyway. But when the class AA's expose their vitals to the class A rapier, that's getting too close yearly in this manner, for bird3 which would fly long before the approach of a pedestrian exhibit nothing but pass ing curiosity at the approach of an automobile or a buggy, and It is easy to kill them, jump back into tho machine and go a few hundred yards further be fore repeating the performance. I can't understand how men can call shooting tame birds true sport, and a strong effort will be made to outlaw the practice at the next legislative ses sion." The upland bird season opens on Tuesday, October 15, inaugurating a two months' period of doubtful pleas ure for the careless or Ignorant hunter, Blue grouse, native pheasant or ruf fled grouse and mountain quail will be eligible to shotgun attacks on Tuesday morning. The complication In the situation Is this: While the three upland birds mentioned are legitimate prey for scat tergun enthusiasts. It Is unlawful to kill China pheasants or the Bob White quail, China pheasants and the pro tected quail outnumber the unprotect ed species of bird about five ts one, hence a hunter must exercise much care in pumping away at the birds be fore determining their variety. Warden Finley and his subordinates are determined that the two-rea? law for tho protection of the China pheas ant and the Bob White quail shall be enforoed, and special deputies! have been appointed preparatory to the opening of the season. In addition to instructions regarding hunting licenses, Warden Finley has Issued orders to all deputies to lnspeot game bags In search of incriminating evidence. "I want to give all hunters full warn ing to be extremely oareful In shooting upland birds," said Mr. Finley last night. ''The China pbtiaaast Is so nu merous, following a good season, that the hunter must exercise the strictest vigilance If he Is to oboy the law. Tin law Is a difficult one to enforce( and my deputies have been Instructed to make examinations of game-bags In all to the seat of things,' The Minneapolis-Denver series Is a concrete example of what concrete craoluais will con ceive and condone. THH University of Oregon, and the Oregon Agricultural Colleyre, after spilling o million dollars' worth of hieroglyphics, "have finally descKibed a perfect parabola, with a little bovomer ang stuck in around the edges, a.nd are now back at the starting point, Tliey have decided not to meet on the foot ball field. Oregon stanelily . refuses' to play in Portland, and the Aggies re Just as determined not to mix either1 .at Eugene or Corvallis. Why not get to gether on the banks of Hudson Bay ov Great Slave Lake? Seems to us these, Instances where hunters- are suspected of wrongdoing." It is not very difficult "to differentiate between thetwo specters of pheasant. The China pheasant bad si long tail, a5 compared to a short one carried by the native variety. The Be Wnite quail may be distinguished fecgn the moun tain quail by the absence of the two crests which mark the mountain quail. In addition, the Bob White has a white 'breast and throat, Reports from all over th vallejw tn dioate that tha upland blmis are numer ous this season.

Meanwhile the people of Oregon are smiling broadly at the unbusinesslike snarling and sniffling. If the schools will act cantankerous, we may have our opinions of the mental processes, but we do not feel like doing a "strong arm." It's the same feeling we have when we see a man standing on his head on his gatepost and waving his brogans In the air. It's his gatepost and he is spending his own time. THERE are seven wrong positions for every chunk of hand-sTt type, according to a foundry advertise ment that has Just come into the sport sanctum. This Is surprising news. After looking over a few country weeklies we had come to believe there were more ways than that. Every once in a while one runs across some thing that is good. An Oregon "every Thursday" publication tells of a run away, including a misprint that made it say the victim received "a badly scared face." That is really funny. The "New York Mall reprints a'news item from an upstate paper: "A local farmer was asked why he didn't buy a motor car. 'I can't de cide,' he answered, whether to get a gasoline car or a limosine. Tell me, does a limoslne smell as bad as a gas oline?'" That story isn't funny. It doesn't smack of the soil. . It's a Joke from a Sunday supplement ,,wlth a local set ting. But the weeklies are not the only fountains of foibles and fun. John H. Glnder, who published the Skamania County Pioneer at Stevenson, Wash., throws Borne "Hough on Whiskers" ointment in the direction of The Ore gonian. "Three times within the past 10 days The Oregonian has referred to fishermen as Xlmrods. It's enough to make the "mightiest hunter before the Lord' turn over in his grave and groan to hear himself spoken of as a com mon fisherman," says John, who then devotes a column to an obituary on Nlm." While "Nlmmy," ,'t appears, knocked no three-baggers !n a world's series, he did kill so many ferocious wild ani mals that the people elected him King. He was a grandson of Noah, and it must. Indeed, have been humiliating for him to find himself compared to a lowly Waltonlte that's it, isn't it? sitting on the new steel bridge over the Tigris, angling for tadpoles with a hookworm. The Skamania County Pioneer has a right to feel .disappointed in The Ore gonian. It is regrettable regrettable Indeed, However, since the American Newspaper Directory gives the Steven son weekly as "Republican, established 1893, eight pages, 13 by 210, circulation dOO, we don t see the sense of any copy reader resigning out of pique. enjoy a good laugh at tho absurdity of the Doyle alibi. We doubt if the players on the New York team are more Intelligent politi cally than those on the Portland Coast club. The writer attempted to draft a symposium on the polltltsU situation as seen through the optics of a fourth divlsloner.

Yes, indeed. "The ball plaj-ers dis cuss politics more than they ,do base ball." And, especially two day a before a world's series. A horse has one advantages, When he wears a hat his ears stick out through holes in it. DOWN in Los Angeles. 1m Mc Carey's silver-tongued publicity' henchman flung these golden thoughts at the sporting editor of the coice dy- namlted Times: "Joe Levy is still holding onto the mast of his ship that will evcsntually glide into the championship gal for Ills Spanish marvel, Joe Rivers.," Harry Carr, the clevel Angel City writer, raises a question as to the rhetorical anJ metaphorical dtg"ntty of the aphorism. Like Carr, we hardly get the drift, but we're strong for it. While no apostle of apomecometry, we. too. advise Joe to lash himself tjo that mast, for there's many a schoonetr been unloaded going over the bar. U Levy had pinioned his delilah-loving nrotege to the lee scuppers some weekji ago, the chances are Rivers would still be up in the big league division of money getters. , MAN has been known for his impa tience ever since the time that Noah, the granddaddy of Nlmrod, sent out the dove three days in succession. A Gotham space fiend got impatient on the eve of the world's series the other day and as a result' he writes with eclat. that "Outfielder Jlick Murray, of the Giants, has organized a Wilson club; Mathewson is ecxpected . to launch a rival Taft club." That must have come from the brain of the same gink who said that Larry Doyle's batting slump, a fortnight prior to the series, was due to the fact that he was easing up for the big Jamboree. Anybody familiar with ball players from the college tyro to the tobacco devouring, protruding-Jawed type can FIELDERS ARE FIT PETER BTJZUKOS, a local 155-pound "rassler," who claims the paper weight championship of the world, la not recorded in the newspaper direc tory, but nevertheless the toe-hold buzzard has a full grown peeve against us. Peter, says the newsppers make him produce real kale before they will, advertise his wrestling matches, yet, when he gets playful behind the scenes at a local theater and extracts a couple of teeth from a mat partner, after the latter has taken a 25 reward for stay ing with him a limited time, the news papers give him reams of publicity; without taxing him a nlckle. THE new football rules permit in terfering past the line of scrim mage on kicks but not on forward passes. "How are the defensive men to know whether it is to be a kick or a pass until the ball is actually booted or thrown?" Inquires one puzzled grid iron student. They cannot unless possessed of the power of clairvoyancy. A majority of team use the same formation for the kick and passes so the best the offi cials can make out of it is to permit defensive backs to interfere until the actual pass is made. WHEN one begins wearing high col lars and canes and gloves and other forms indicating a manicuring of the primitive instincts, people naturally expect-rbut, then, let's omit the moral. Anybody who can steal a couple of per fectly good columns from the irate ad vertising department is really entitled iu neiier tuuBjueruuun. We might explain it to Peter in this fashion: If a dog runs down the street, that's nothing. But, if Fido has a can tied to his barometer, that's news. How we do love the activities of life!

Whaling, Neighbors and probably Fran,k Eastiey belong in this class. It would be an argument between Ray mond and Cooney, the Spokane boy having a wider margin over Raymond in. batting and base running than Tealy has over Phil in fielding. The most signal fielding perform ance of the season is that of Bert Whaling. He has broken a North western League record by catching 138 games with only seven errors. Cooney leads the league in assists, Phil having thrown out nearly 100 more men than his nearest rival. Klpnert of Vancouver threw out more runners than any other out- outfielder, and Whaling led Devogt by a narrow margin in pegging out would be base thieves. Kick Williams, of Portland, retired the greatest number of base runners, while Johnny Rawlings of Victoria made the highest total of boots. Pitch er Stelger did not make an error in 13 games.
