(SpeciaL) The Silverton Commercial Club bas ketball team defeated the Amicus team, of Portland, tonight, by a score of 26 to 26. It was by far the most excit ing game ever witnessed here; first the visitors would lead by several points. then the Silverton team would gain the upper hand. By a sudden spurt a few minutes before time was called the Sil verton team managed to edge out a victory, due mostly to the star playing of Vern Wolcot. Hughes, of the Ami cus five, made IS points for the losing team. Silverton has arranged to play the Oregon Agricultural College team, but the date has not yet been fixed.

Although the last few days might seem too cold for ocean bathing, the ISO or more members of the Multnomah Club who intend to make the trip to Gearhart on December 7 and 8, expect to have a real warm time In the ocean and the tank. An extensive programme for the amusement of the men and women who will go -to the coast has been arranged by Chairman Frank E. Watklns, of the Multnomah swimming committee. Shortly after the arrival of the guests on the evening of December 7, sumptuous dinner will be served on the big Inclosed porch of the Hotel Gearhart. Following this there will be dancing all evening and at midnight all will turn out for a splash In the surf and swimming in the tank. Miss Vivian Marshall will present her famous "fire-dive" at midnight in the big tank, jumping from the rafters with her bathing suit in flames.

The race of which the start is shown was one of the three heats of SO miles each, which the three boats ran for the title. Owing to a mistake on the part of the assistants to the starter, the Swastika did not have time to prepare for the event and had to quit. - The Va moose lost out to the Wolf because of engine trouble. At times it showed that It had the speed to make the champion hump. The Va moose received the credit for the fastest lap of the meet, but John E. Wolff Insists his boat was never let out and says he will eubstai tlate the assertion if the two boats race again. The Swastika believes that it can beat the Coast champion because of the improvement In the behavior of the engine.' ..-.-. with the addition of the flaming clothes, will be a rare spectacle. The following morning, there will be athletic events on the beach and 1m promptu swimming races in the Nata torlum. Later in the day Arthur Cavlll will do some swimming In the surf and "stunts" like the fake rescue, which had the whole town on the beach last time, will follow. There will be a special train leaving Portland at 2 P. M. Saturday, December 7, but those who cannot leave until night can get the same advantages as those who get away earlier. In order that the confusion which usually reigns at the hotel over the selection of the rooms may be avoided a chart has been sent to the Multno mah Club, and those wishing to make reservations can do bo at the club. The party Will return by a special train, leaving Gearhart at 6:30 p. M, Sunday. Grants Pass Young Man Hurt. GRANTS PASS, Or., Nov. 30. (Spe cial.)

(CY" SEYMOUR SECURED Hap" Working to Bolster Up Pitch- . Ing Staff, Which Fell Down at End of Season Outfield Is -Not to Be Disturbed. LOS ANQELES. Nov. JO. (Special.) Reorganising a baseball club is not such a difficult proposition for Hen Berry as some people mlgh'. imagine. It is a labor of love for him because baseball is his only hobby since he found out he could not play three- cushion billiards. Hen has already come to be known as the greatest scout In America and if his oil wells should play out and his huge bank roll grow wings, he could get a Job as scout for any major league ball club that he might want to be connected with. Last year be tried his hand at it for the first time and built up a team that developed from tail-enders Into champions in oner season. It looks like he has made even greater efforts for the 1913 team and that it will be the best team that ever wore a Coast League uniform, unless some of his rivals do a lot of tinkering with their lineups before opening day. - "tfr" Seymour Is Strong Card. The addition of Cy Seymour to the Angels' lineup probably will be the most notable triumph of Berry, consid ering the individuals he has secured for next season. Seymour, accordfng to Johnny Kane, will have to slump like fury to fail to lead the Coast League batters in 1913. In addition to his hitting he is a high-class out fielder and his arm is good and strong yet. Wottell is also an outfielder and is said to be one of the fastest men developed In the New Tork State League In years. Another outfielder with a big league team is being dick ered for and will probably be secured. Berry says that Crabb and Jackson the new pitchers, have had major league experience, although brief, as each Is a youngster, and Crabb espe cialy Is looked upon as a high-class heaver. Jackson was with the St. Joe club in the Western League last sea son. Two more pitchers, both with major league clubs now, will be se cured by Berry If waivers can be se cured for them. He will know defi nitely within a few days. Berry Glvea Out Lineup. It is the intention of Berry to place the men next season as follows, pro viding plans work out now and the men show up.-as they are expected to do: Moore and Dillon, first base; Page, sec ond; Metsger, third; Berger or Fahey, shortstop; Seymour, right field; Mag gert. center; Ivan Howard, left. Should he be able to keep Berger, nobody will be able to root him out of the shoi't field and Fahey and Metzger will fight it out for third base, the loser doing utility duty. Boles, Brooks and Smith will do the backstopping. Chech, Sla gle, Tozer, Perrltt, Vernon, Crabb. Jackson and two others will make up the pitching stall. . Hap Hogan will not know the changes in the Tigers' llnnp until he has disposed of the deals now pending and the options on the new players. That he will have a much stronger pitching staff than last season, when his pitchers fell down in the final weeks, is already assured. Edmondson, Hltt, Baum and Stewart are sure to be retained and Johnny Raleigh may also UCK. Nlae Tnrlrlers la Sight. With this nucleus upon which . to build a winning pitching staff Hogan expects to add two more twirlers, both of whom have had major league expe rience, and possibly a youngster, In addition to Pfeffer and GrifTin. This will give him a twirling staff of nine at the beginning of the season. Brashear, the mighty ash wlelder. cannot be replaced, so .will have no competition for his Job. Hosp and Lltschl also are able to sleep easily at nights in the knowledge that their worn or last season was sufficiently classy to merit retention. Carlisle. Kane and Bayless make up a great out field trio that Hogan will not disturb. Patterson looks like a certainty at first base, too, if his broken leg ever gets thoroughly healed and strong. It Is not expected that there will be any releas ing of players before Spring. , SPORTING SPARKS HERE are the 14 reasons why James S.

The severe drubbing the Philadelphia Athletics administered to the Cubans on their trip to the island caused the Cubans to call off the proposed trip of National League players headed by Umpire Rlgler. Mendez, thfc Cuban twirling hero, was twice walloped by the hard-hearted Athletics, and the Cu bans, who are hard, losers, are no long er red-hot fans. - Heinle Zimmerman, star National League batsman, aspires to oust Johnny Evers from second base. Heinle would like to Jump from third to second, feel ing that he can do better work in that position. . He balks at a trial at short, however, as he fell down badly the only time he essayed that berth. Eddie Dugan and Willie Dugan. Oak land, Cal., Jockeys, have returned from a successful season in Europe. Eddie piloted 52 winners, many of them in big stakes. George Archibald, anotner Cal ifornia Jockey, made a big hit In Ger many. The speed trial of Joe Patch II has been postponed. R. J. MacKenzle, his owner, was called East on business, and the trial at San Francisco will not be staged until he returns. Patchen paced an exhibition mile in 2:00 at Los An geles, and MacKenzle is confident that he can make this in better than minutes. Most of the National League critics agree that Jake Daubert played the best first base in the circuit during tne 1912 season. Merkle is brilliant, but not as reliable as Daubert, while Kon etchy pressed Jake close for premier honors. The general impression is tnat had Merkle -been playing with either Brooklyn or St. Louis he would nave passed unnoticed, while either Daubert or Konetchy would have starred at New York. A Chicago pitcher named Carlo is Just breaking into the big' league. Out in Taxas a catcher named Bruno has been showing commendable class. If the fortunes of the game ever put these two on the same club they would be known as the "hot dog battery, Napoleonic tactics, with the attack starting with the artillery, followed by masses of Infantry, and ending with the cavalry, won the "Big Nine cham nlonship for Wisconsin this year. First the Badgers "punted, trying out the op ponent's style. Then came the hammer ing away at the guards and tackles, to force the backfield in. This opened the way for the successful execution of forward passes. This style of assault, as maneuvered by a perfectly drilled team, gave the Badgers the title. J. J. McDermott, of the Atlantic City Country Club, is planning a trip to Eu rope for a clash with the crack golfers won the open championship of tne unit ed States at Buffalo, making a total score of 294 strokes for 72 holes, an average of 4 H to each hole.

The Oregon Wolf, champion speed boat of the Pacific Coast, and the Swastika, 20-foot titleholder, will meet on the Willamette or Columbia rivers in a 20 to 30-mlle contest for a (500 purse January 1. An added and pecu liar feature of the competition will be the presence of the Vamoose, which ranks second to the Oregon Wolf In point of victories, racing against the Portland-owned craft as an outsider, paying no entrance fee towards tha purse race, -and not participating in the spoils. Johnny Wolff, designer and pilot of the Oregon Wolf, declared last night that he is satisfied to race the Swastika over a flve-mlle course, or on any other conditions satisfactory to R. F. Cox, owner of the Swastika. The $250 placed with the stakeholder by Cox will be covered Monday and Tuesday night the Portland Motorboat Club will take official recognition of the race and as sume the management of It. Arrangements to Be Friendly. "Should the Vamoose nter the race I would demand a course between Port land the mouth of the Willamette." de clared Wolff last night- "On a flve mlle course there is little to choose be tween the two craft, but with the Vamoose eliminated from the race for the purse I am willing to accept Cox's request for a five-mile course. We shall get together with the, club offi cials and make arrangements for the race within a few days. There is no reason for a hitch in negotiations as neither Mr. Cox nor myself are likely to squabble over officials or minor details." George S.
