NINTH INNING IS HOODOO McCretlie's Scout Reported to Have Landed Gifkin, Big University, of California Pitcher, as Member of 1913 Beavers. Byron E. Houck. Portland lad rated as one ot the distinct finds of the 1912 American League season, arrived home yesterday to spend the Winter. He la lonkine- for a clerical berth to last until time to report to Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics for 1913 Spring training. I Rtiess I made good all right Con nie Mack', the greatest leader in the world, offered me a better contract for 1913. which certainly shows that he thinks I did not fall as a major leaguer," said the husky former Wash ington High School lad yesterday. Houck did not work In many full games, but finished the season over the .600 mark, winning five games and losing four. However, he was worked frentienilv durinir the later part of tne season, when the Athletics were out of the race and Mack relt tnat ne couia experiment with his youngsters. Tne best proof of his success Is the fact that .Mack used him in one of the big games against the Phillies in the city series at the close of the major league season.

Hay ward Has Only Place of Captain Jamison to Fill Freshman Ma terial Is Excellent.- UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. Nov. 9. (Special.) With only one member of last year's championship five missing, Oregon's .chances for the coming basketball season are con sidered good by Coach "Bill" Hayward and the students. Captain Homer Jamison, of last year's team, who was picked as forward on the all-Northwest five. Is the absentee. However, in view of the large number of candidates, including both old men, who have not yet won their letters, and freshmen, it is expected that this sea son's quintet will be fully as strong as Its Immediate predecessor. .The five wearers of the "O" who. are In line for first team positions are Captain Sims. Kuard; Bradshaw, guard Fenton, center; - Walker, forward, and Rader, forward. It is possible that Sims, who Is an expert at tossing bas kets, will be shifted to Jamison's old place at forward, and the second guard recruited from the other candidates. Among the old men likely to be called on to till the breach are Brledwell. a second team man of last year; Boylen, who was chosen for guard on the all fraternity team last year; Stevenson, Parsons, Brooks, Vosper and numerous other stars of the inter-fraternity and lnterclass leagues. These organizations have proved mosfvaluable as "feeders" for the first team. Every year a sertes of games Is played between the four-classes, fol lowed by a longer series participated in by all the .fraternities and clubs, a cup being offered for each championship.-. As a result a large number of good players are developed,' many . ol whom were previously unknown and might never have been discovered, and from these Hayward draws the material for his first team squad. The lnter-class league season will start soon after December' 1, and li will then be possible to discover what latent ability there is In the freshman ranks. .There are a number of men-in the beginners' class who have good high-school records and -should boost the varsity stock considerably. Among these are George, a former Washington High School captain; Kirk and .Kaiser, from Salem; Fee and Hampton, from Pendleton; Bigbee form Albany; Bean from Portland Academy; Billings from Olympia. Wash.; a.nd McCown, from Vancouver. Captain Sims and Rader are the only first team men who have been out on the floor thus far, Fenton, W'alker, Bradshaw and Brledwell being mem bers of the football squad. The schedule Is still In process of evolution, but Graduate Manager Geary declares It will be more satisfactory than last year. It is not likely that an other squabble over the championship, such as that of last season, will arise, for Oregon will probably meet every other team in the conference. At least two games will be played with the Ore gon Agricultural College, one in each gymnasium. Geary strongly favors the proposal of Whitman College that two triangu lar leagues in basketball be formed from the six schools composing the conference. The plan Is that Washing ton, Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College are to be members of one di vision, and Whitman, Washington State College and Idaho of the other. Each division would settle the championship for Itself, and the two survivors would meet to decide the Northwest title. Whitman Intends to withdraw from the conference If this arrangement Is not made, because that institution found difficulty In meeting expenses in basketball last season.' The same trouble is experienced by all the col leges, on account of the long trips necessary to the bringing together o; teams on opposite sides of the moun tains. At Oregon the management re ported a deficit on all the games except those with the University or vvasning ton. Geary favors the new plan, not only because It will keep Whitman in the conference, but also because it should reduce the expenses of all the colleges. f ENDLETON, the great Princeton " athlete, is to turn professional when he finishes college this .year, and has promised Clark Griffith that he will give the Washington Senators the first crack at his services. Pendle ton is a clever shortstop as well as star football player. ... A report from Chicago says that Ping Bodie is to be traded or sent back to the minors. Ping acted as agent for a arewery company last Winter and re ported to the White Sox as fat as a pig. He performed indifferently dur ing the season and made such a poor showing during the Chicago city se ries that Callahan Is ready to dispose of him for little or nothing. ... "Jerry" McCarthy, the mascot of the Boston Red Sox, has retired from base ball with $2100 and expects to go Into business. At the close of the recent world's series he was given $100 by John I. Taylor, former owner of the club, and $50 by each of the players on the team. Jerry's nine-year-old brother is an aspirant for the Job of mascot next season. One rumor has it that Boss Murphy of the Chicago Cubs made his recent trip East in an effort to trade Frank Chance for Nap Rucker, the great Brooklyn hurler. . The French military system has claimed a world's champion tennis player. A. H. Gobert. who won the amateur tennis title at the Stockholm Olympic games, is the man. He Is due for two years' service with the French army. ... Chicago friends of Ad Wolgast, light weight champion of pugilism, declare that AcTs -mania for betting on himself particularly on the number of rounds, has caused his decline as fighter. His eagerness to win fights in the early rounds In order to cash bets has caused him to fight himself out in the early rounds and be unprepared to meet the vicious assaults of the fag end of the fray. Harry Hutchens' long standing rec ord of 30 seconds for 300 yards, estab lished back in 1884, is to be tackled by Jack Donaldson, the great English pro fessional. Donaldson will make the record-breaking effort at Cardiff, Wales, on Christmas day. Donaldson recently ran 130 yards In 12 3-16 sec onds. - Joe Mandot earned $25,000 with his fists in the last three months. He started with Pal Moore and ended with Ad Wolgast He met Redmond, Moran. Abel, Sawlor, Trendal, Joe Rivers, Ritchie and Temple twice. x - Johnny Evers, new Cub manager, was banqueted at his home in Troy, N. T.. the other night. Not overly popular at tne start ana nanaicappeu by -the feeling for Frank Chance, Evers is due for rough riding at the Chicago helm. A banquet or two at the start will give him something to rememDer. Hal Chase had an all-star ball team playing In New Tork last Sunday, weeks after the world's series had been relegated to the records. His lineup read like this: Kriachell, catcher; Chalmers, pitcher; Chase, first base; Simmons, second base; Zimmerman of the Cubs, shortstop; Hartzell, third base: Daniels, left Held; Joe LaKe. center field; Fallon, right field. ... Grantland Rice says that the old league (meaning the National- League) is nothing but a series of squawks. charges of crookedness and roughhouse mixups. Me also says ini me league will never rise above this swampy lovel aa lonir as people like Murphy and Fogel are permitted to hold rank as first line officers. Eopa Rixey, - the Philadelphia Na tional pitcher, has returned to the Uni versity of Virginia, where ne is piay ,ng basketball on the college five. "Well. If I had .a bank account a? big as your nose I would quit playlna ball," said Rollle Zeider to Bill Donovan in a game between the Sox and Tiger last season.

' JACK DILLON WANTS FIGHT Few Take Seriously Announcement That Packey McFarland Will Re- tire Soon He Is Looking for Stiff Game Still. BY JAMES H. CASSEtL. The efforts of the New iork -State Athletic Commission to establish an In ternational scale of boxing weights swings the spotlight upon that section of fisticuffs which contends that tnere is an arbitrary scale of weights in ex istence, and that unless bout be at these weights, titles cannot change. While the frequent efiorts to establish weights is an acknowledgement tha no such weights exist, an investigation of the records further discloses the piti ful weakness of the contention. A boxing champion is the custodian of the weight scale. A Nelson say "make 133 pounds ringside" and 133 pounds ringside 13 the official light weight poundage during the Nelsoi. reigme. So with other classes. In every fistic division except the lightweight, the champions have in creased boxing weights. This, of course, bars the heavyweight but startinfe with the bantams and going up tt feathers, welters and middles, the poundage allowances have Increased. Take the bantam weight class George Dixon fought Nunc Wallace in London in 1890 at 113 pounds, the scale going up until Dixon graduated int. the featherweight class. Jimmy Barry, who succeeded him, never weighed more jian 112 pounds, but fought at 115 pounds. Terry McGovern rougnt no championship bouts under 116 pounds, and in only one bout did he weigh in at the ringside. In this ringside affair, with Pedlar Palmer, the men scaled under 116 pounds but the fight was postponed a day. They unquestionably weighed over 116 pounds wlien they fought yet it was a championship bout. Frankle Neil set the bantam limit at 116 pounds, but not ringside. Coulon first demanded that opponents make 105 pounds but gradually increased it to 116 pounds ringside, .although, ac cording to precedent he had no right to demand ringside weight. George Dixon demanded 115 pounds when he invaded the featherweight di vision in 1891, and defeated Cal Mc Carthy at that weight He went to 117 for two'other men and to 122 for Erne. McGovern fought Dixon at 118 pounds ringside and won, and finally lost the title to Young Corbett at 126 pounds, 10 o'clock, with the famous fight at 3 o'clock. The lightweight title has changed hands only twice at 133 pounds, ring side, Gans to Nelson and Nelson to Walgast. These men were small and forced the weight down from 136 pounds, the Eme-Gans weight which was at 7 o'clock on the night of the bout. McAuliffe fought at weights ranging from 134 to 137. not ringside, while Lavigne fought Burge of Eng land at 128 pounds. In the afternoon. The welterweight class opened at 142 pounds and Jumped to 145. Dempsey and Fltxsimmons fought at 154 pounds, ringside, for the middleweight title in 1891, but Fltissimmons Jumped the weight to 163 pounds against Hall in 1893. The weight fell, to 168 pounds in the Papke-Ketchel regime, and re mains there today. The great majority of great ring battles were not decided at ringside weights, but were fixed by tire champ Ions. Precedent does not entitle champions to demand weight at ring side, but the precedent which gives champions the right to dictate, per mits them to enforce that which the public will permit The public gen erally permits what the champions will. The old- so-called scale follows: Bantam, 116 pounds, ringside: feather, 122 pounds, ringside; lightweight, 133 pounds, ringside; welterweight 142 pounds., ringside; middleweight 158 pounds, ringside. The new scale of weights proposed hv the New Yorkers, all ringside. Pap erweight. 108 pounds; bantamweight, 115 pounds; featherweight 125 pound3; lightweight, I3a pounas; wenei weim 145 pounds; middleweight, 158 pounds; lic-ht .heavyweight or "commission" weight, 175 pounds; heavyweight, 175 pounds and over. . Few take seriously the announcement that Packey McFarland, the great tjni raeo fluhter. will retire - soon. H wea kens his declaration by saying thai he would like to meet Wolgast, Brit- ton and Nelson before he quits. "I have made about $200,000 in thf last five years, and with the constant and rigorous training requirements there is no reason for me to continue.' savs the stockyards idol. "My best uurse was with Matt Wells, when I drew down $10,000." "Packey says he Intends to buy 10 more apartment-houses, three gas com panies and six blocks of real estate on Michigan avenue before he quits." com ments one Chicago writer a few days after the announcement of the retire ment stuff. The efforts of the sporting world to Dlace the heavyweight crown on straight-hnired Individual received no .ndorsement when It was reported a few davs :igo that Hugh Mcintosh had sla-ned Joe Jeanette-ror a tive-ooui- en gagement in Australia for $25,000. As Mcintosh expects to use tangrora ana McVey as Joe's chief adversaries, the white hope cause does not appear par ticularly bright. . voono- .lack O'Brien seems to be a coming lightweight.

The element of luck broke with the Seattle team In the final minutes of the game when Doble's pupils pulled a well-executed forward pass that changed the entire look of lhe game, and put the team in an easy position to score the winning touch- . down. The teams' battled for every Inch of the ground and at no time was there ' any great show of superiority In either offense or defense between the teams.
