COAST FINISH EXCITING
6barpe's Team Badly Cripple and
Vernon Seems to Have Good
Chance of Winning Banm
Opposes Salary Limit.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 19. (Spe
cial.) The sporting fraternity, despite
Its allegiance to all that Is great In
baseball, heaved a sigh of relief when
the world's series struggles came to an
end. World's series games are all very
well, but when they attract practic
ally 90 per cent of the public attention
and demoralize business, then It Is high
time to cease.
San Francisco fairly went daffy over
the games and as a spectacle these
games have come closer to the Interest
that was manifested in Johnson and
Jeffries over two years ago than any
thing else. Never before has there
been shown the same interest locally
and people coming from New York
have been surprised at the crowds and
have marveled at the Interest displayed
all along.
More space has been given over to
the games by the local papers than
even the New York papers carried.
This may be due to the fact that the
local papers have carried the box
scores of the major league games all
the season and have therefore devel
oped an acquaintance that would not
otherwise be the case.
Great Crowds Hear Results.
At all events. It is estimated that
something like 20,000 people dally have
gathered for the newspaper bulletins.
Three of the San Francisco papers gave
complete returns and the others car
ried the score by Innings. Bill Lange
and his associates put through a
scheme to give the story of the gamn
on an electric bulletin board and the
Alcazar Theater was crowded. In ad
dition to that, the newspaper telephone
exchanges were flooded with Inquiries
as to the score.
The clubs had their boys go around
the lounging-rooms giving the score
and at public gatherings, where there
was speechmaking, there was always
a reference to the score of the day.
It has put a crimp In all other sports.
First of all. so much space was devoted
to the world's series that the other
sports had to go by the board. Sec
ondly, the people didn't want to read
anything else but about what the boys
were doing in the East.
Coast Race Exciting;.
Our own little Coast League race has
come back to the. proper degree of In
terest and as things stand now, It will
be well into next week before the fight
is finally settled.
The Oaks looked to have almost a
cinch up to last week with a good five
game lead. Then the Angels, bowed
iown with sorrow at the death of
Heine Heltmuller. dropped seven games
in a row to the Tigers.
Sacramento made an unexpected
rtand against the Commuters and the
first part of this week the Seals did
the same unexpected thing.
Sharpe's team is badly crippled with
the absence of Patterson. Zacher just
returned the middle of the week and
the pitchers are not going well. The
two first games of the week were lost
on errors and it would occasion no
great surprise to see the Vernon Tigers
come fast at the close.
If anything, Vernon will have the
better of the argument next week. By
that time the Angels ought to have
regained their confidence and be in
shape to give Oakland a hard fight.
Vernon, on the other hand, will go
against Portland and, truth to tell, Mc
Credie's bunch doesn't seem to care for
much but to wind up the season and
have it over with.
Seals Fans Want Ifogran to Win.
The fun of the week has been to see
the local fans go after the Oaks. They
are pulling their heads off for San
Francisco to beat the Commuters and
honestly, they would rather see the
pennant go to Happy's men than across
the bay. That isn't exactly the right
feeling, but it exists, nevertheless.
Herbert McFarlln, of the Oakland
management, who is just as much of a
bug as any of the others, is sore all
over at what he terms the way the
Angels quit to Vernon. He doesn't
know what he Is talking about, but he
doesn't mind making his accusations.
He Isn't backed up In this by thinking
men. however.
Oscar Vitt, of the Detroit Club, re
turned this week to spend the Winter
at home. Oscar was troubled with
boils a great part of the season, but at
the same time he made a good hit with
the Tigers and Is sure to have an in
field position on the club another sea-

son. He isn't sure w-hether he will
be used at third or at second.
Vitt brings the news that Buck
Weaver and Ping Bodte. both of the
Chicago White Sox, will soon be hit
ting the trail for the Golden West. As
soon as these two arrive, there will
be a trip into the mountains and plen
ty of hunting.
Salary Limit Opposed.
A story was published the first of
the week that the International and
the American Association favored a
salary limit of $2000 per year per play
er and would endeavor to enforoe It.
It was said that the matter had been
called to the attention of the Coast
ers, who would be in favor of the
scheme.
President Baum Issued an official de
nial of this yarn.
What be said, in substance, was
this:
"The Coast League will never agree
to a salary lim't per player. We might
be willing under certain conditions to
agree to a monthly limit per club, but
to no other scheme. To decide en a
$2000 limit per player would be mani
festly unjust to the Coast League. It
would mean that we couldn't pay a play
er any more than 1300 a month. 'That
is absurd and beyond the question. We
may want to hire some men at $500 a
month and some at less. We can't af
ford to make a bush league of our or
ganization and do not propose to do
so."
Cal Ewlng and Baum will go East
for the annual meeting of the minor
leagues that will convene at Milwau
kee November 11. They will have a
conference with the other Class AA
leagues at Chicago prior to the Mil
waukee session and may agree upon
some matters that will be of interest.
However, there are no propositions of
any great importance that will inter
est the Western baseball fans.
Hlldebrand Deserves Credit.
The news has been given out of the
signing up of George Hlldebrand to
umpire In tb American League next
season. There isn't anything new so
far as that item goes, but I want to
say a kindly word for one of the best,
if not the best, umpire ever produced
out here in the West. George deserves
the success that he will undoubtedly
attain in the East. He knows how to
handle men, understands the rules and
is accurate on his decisions. Probably
he would have been called East be
fore save that he is rather short and
Ban Johnson likes big men. '
Hlldebrand was taken as a Coast
League umpire chiefly because he
couldn't play any more baseball. Then
he had to make good on his own re
sources and he can thank himself for
the results.
He makes the third Coast League
umpire to go to the American. League,
Bull Perlne and Eugeae McGreevy be
ing the others. The East will not be
altogether new to Hlldebrand, as he
played ball with Brooklyn one season.
There will be a scattering of the
clans after the season closes on next
Sunday. Most of the ballplayers who
hall from the East are anxious- to re
turn home and will not lose any time.
Wuffll and Frank Miller, of the Seals,
will not even return to San Francisco
after they have wound up in Sacra
mento. They will board the Overland
in the Capitol City and beat it for Chi
cago, Umpire Perle Casey will winter In
Portland and will not lose any time
after the season closes.
The Oaks may play a post-season
series, but if they should lose the pen
nant, perhaps they will not be so keen
for that sort of thing.

Hugh Jennings Is Retained as Coun
sel by Pbiladelphlan.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19. Before leaving
here for Philadelphia Horace Fogel,
president of the Philadelphia National
Club, announced that he had retained
Manager Jennings of the Detroit Ti
gers as counsel in his fight with Presi
dent Lynch of the National League.
"Neither Lynch nor anyone else can
put me out of the National League,
said Fogel. "The constitution reads
that seven votes are needed to throw
a club from the league. Lynch cannot
get seven votes to expel any club."
The Philadelphia magnate denied that
he had any intention of selling his
club, although he admitted that he
knew of several persons who are will
ing to buy.
"The price," he said, "Is exactly
$1,000,000. J received an offer of
JSOO.000 two years ago, but I don't ex

POSSIBLE CHAMPIONS FEW
Davlscourt, McCarthy, Franske,
Trainor, Fabre and Frank Ont
of Game Boxers Are Prom
ising Lot of Youths.
BY JAMES H. CASSELL.
From the pinnacle of mat strength,
recognized as the premier wrestling
club of the Northwest, to the cellar of
mediocrity. Is a far cry, but unless
Eddie O'Connell succeeds in instilling
championship prowess into a sadly de
pleted squad of grapplers, such will be
the tumble of Multnomah Amateur
Athletlo Club from 1912 to 1913.
Three Northwest amateur champions
of the 1911-12 season, one National
champion of 1911, and a second-place
man of 1911-12 have been lost to the
winged "M" this season, in addition to
Edgar Frank, the greatest man of his
weight ever turned out on the Pacific
Coast.
Stars Oat of Game.
Briefly, Davlscourt, Northwestern
heavyweight champion, ia in Alaska,
with little or no hope of his return for
the present season; McCarthy, middle
weight Northwestern champion, has a
strained rib, which will keep him from
i MirsrarW 1 I f I
i ii H jp" ii ii ii . i i
II 11 . v - . ZL.
active mat work for from two to three
months; Franske, lightweight North
western champion, is no longer a resi
dent of Portland; Trainor, National
lightweight champion of 1911, is in
California; Fabre, second to Franske
in the Pacific Northwest Association
tourney last Spring, has quit competi
tive wrestling; and Edgar Frank, who
has tackled them all, from feather
weight to heavyweight, has decided to
permanently retire.
O'Connell is not willing to concede
that his matmen will not figure in ln
terclub championship matches this sea
son, contending that he has the nu
cleus for a strong squad. However,
prospects are far from bright, with no
member of his class looming up as did
his champions of last season. True,
McCarthy may be ready for the culmi
nating tournament of the season next
Spring, and one or more of the others
may return to their former wrestling
home, but the present personnel of the
Winged "M" squad Is but ordinary.
Eleven Are Available.
J?he following are the regular mem
bers o'f the club wrestling class avail
able for interclub competitions: 125
pounds, M. McCarl; 135 pounds, Mon
tague and McGinty; 115 pounds. Duff,
Pohoskey and Boh McCarl; 158 pounds,
Bradt and Bocage; heavyweight. Berry,
Conville, Helwig.
In marked contrast to the opening of
the season , last year, Tommy Tracey's
boxing class possesses more high-class
talent than does O'Connell's boxers.
And, after all, boxing matches draw at
least 75 per cent of the crowds to an
Interclub show, so if the roittmen up
hold their end of the athletic combina
tion the season should be the most suc
cessful, at least from a financial stand
point, in several years.
To begin with, "Fireman" Knowlton,
the sensation of the Pacific Northwest
Association meet here last Spring, will
represent Multnomah Club at 135
pounds, the most popular fighting
weight In the Northwest for several
seasons. He should be a strong con
tender for the championship again this
season.
Boxers Are Promising.
Williams, 115-pounder, Mifebus, 175
pounder, and Darbyshlre, 158-pounder,
are the three other most promising box
ers. Williams is the youngster who
sprung a surprise on the other North
western clubs by winning the 115-pound
championship at the Pendleton round
up. Scarcity of talent in both light
heavyweight and middleweight dm
slons may keep Mlebus and Darbyshlre
from many bouts, but both are rated
as topnotch men In their respective di
visions.
The following is the complexion of
Tracev's boxing- squad, barring a lew
of the newer faces: 116-pound, Wil
liams: 126-pound. Kelly; 135-pound
Knowlton, Eyeman, Gay; 145-pound.
Madden; 168-pound, Darbyshlra, Dooly;
176-Dound. Mlebus.
There was one happy man in Port
land last Wednesday night when the
word was flashed from Medford that
Bud Anderson had defeated Danny
O'Brien. That Individual was Jack
Kinsr.
Jack has no dislike for O'Brien in
fact, he wishes him the best of luck
when ha boxes anyone but Anderson.
But King believes that Anderson, prop
erly tutored. Is capable of winning the
lightweight title, and hopes to see the
Vancouver boy in san rancisco ius
seling for the crown within a year.

Berry's Moundman Chech, Un
nerved by Clergy, Is Hit
With Frequency.
HIGGINBOTHAM IS STRONG
hooking of salmon trout under 12
inches in length during that period is
the plan of the Multnomah Anglers'
Club. A law to this effect will be
placed before the next Legislature and
a strong effort made to have it be-1
come effective tor ll.
"As long as anglers can go out and
catch trout, using the alibi that they
were after salmon vrout and thought
they had hooked that variety, it will
be Impossible properly to protect the
trout in Oregon through the closed sea
son, says Dr. E. C. McFarlana, secre
tary of the club.
"The only remedy is to place a size
limit on the salmon trout caught. Few
protected trout would measure over 12
inches long, hence the preservation of
the best of the salmon trout fishing
and the protection of the other species
of trout at the same time.
"There is no desire on the part of
the Anglers Club to injure Winter
fishing, and this law would not do so.
By limiting the salmon trout catches
to over 12 inches from November 1 to
April 1, the closed season for the other
trout species, the necessary protection
will be secured.
Winter fishing, which many anglers
hold is the best of the season, will open
soon. Salmon trout will be numerous
after the first rains, while the two
months' steelhead season will open late
in December.
The Anglers' Club will hold a regu
lar meeting on Friday night, October
25, when Game Warden Finiey win
make a report on the fish-planting
activity of the season and hear com
plaints regarding a number of his dep
uties.
Charges have been made that the
wardens in many localities, particularly
In the Tillamook section, exercise un
due activity in watching Portland
anglers, but at the same time permit
the residents there to violate me taw
at will. ..

ing to save the game.
Krueger had his husky willow with

three hits. Fisher also was there with
three; Rodgers and Chadbourne got
