THE SUXDAT OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 27, . 1914. 3 NO-HIT GUI BY LUSH HIS SECOND Beaver Pitcher Has Record of Winning From Brooklyn by Feat Back in 1906. TW1RLER BEMOANS LUCK "Wonder of Portland Star's Accom plishment Shown by Statistics That Only Six Times Was Feat Done In 8 Vears. Some ball pitchers strive and toil year after year, yearning and hoping lor the day when they shall grind out a no-hit game and thus go down on the enduring records of baseball as among the game's renowned per Xormers. Few slab artists attain this coveted honor and the number who twice turn the trick can almost be counted on the I lingers of one's sturdy right and left mitts. Hence, Southpaw Johnny Lush's feat last Sunday in sending Venice back to the southland without a hit having been recorded against him was parti cularly notable In that it was the Portland pitcher's second entry into the co-hit log book. First No-Hit Game Won. Sunday he was pitted against South paw "Doc" White, former Chicago star, and by a strange vagary of fortune, Lush lost his no-hit game by a l-to-0 score. But. back In 1906 when he was pitching for Philadelphia In the Na tional League, his teammates were more considerate and he realized the ambition of every pitcher's career by shutting out Brooklyn 6 to 0 in a co-hit, no-run engagement. In that same series Lush held the Brooklyn team hitless for eight ln nlngsAand In the" ninth they managed to get a scratchy bingle which broke up the game. The wonder of Lush's accomplish ment is all the more remarkable in looking over the statistics. Only seven times has that feat been performed in the National League in the eight years intervening. In 1906 Bason and Pfeffer also got away with hitless games. In 1907 Mad dox, of Pittsburg, did the stunt against Brooklyn. The next year Wlltse, of New York, was Invincible for 10 in cings. Also in 1908 Rucker turned the trick for Brooklyn. In 1912, Tesreau held the Philadelphia team on the same basis. This year Davis, the Boston youngster, held Philadelphia Nationals, on the occasion of his first appearance in major league company. "I think I am one of the greatest dealers in hard luck In the game," moaned Lush in speaking of past games. "My greatest commodity for merly was the one-hit game, but the great majority of those one hits were the ones which broke up and lost the game for our team. Jkt Icut One Time Was Lucky, "There is only one lucky game which I can remember. That was one hot day in New York, when I allowed 12 bases on balls and then won the game, 3 to 0. .But in that same game I had 15 strike outs." Lush played his first baseball with Glrard College in Philadelphia, his home city, in 1902. Girard College is a pre paratory school, and its team always was feared by the other members of Philadelphia scholastic circles. The Beaver star of today was thought pretty much of even then. In 1903 he went to Holy Cross College, In Massa chusetts, and did such startling work in bolstering up the team at the hard - est times that the Philadelphia team went for. him and he reported to them In the Spring of 1904. After four years at Philadelphia he was sold to the St. Louis Cards, and stuck for two campaigns, when he slipped to Toronto of the International League. He did well there In 1911, 1912 and 1913. and was bought by Cleveland last Fall. Lush came to Portland in midseason this year, and has done not able work. Lush also has played the first sack. He played all of 1904 at that post and made much of a success of It- Evident ly he was considered too good at the post by opponents, for Mathewson and then Jack Taylor hit him in the head with wild pitches. YACHTING LEADS TO SOCIAIiS Oregon Clnh Will Devote Winter to Dances, Parties and Smokers. The yachting season of the Oregon Yacht Club is over, but the members will try to make the Winter season one of as much activity as the Sum mer. The yacht races and water pro grammes will be replaced by dances, card parties and general smokers In the clubhouse near the Oaks. , As yet the Willamette offers too many in ducements and the boatsmen are out almost daily. Last week the yacht club entertained Secretary Foster, of the Astoria Motor boat Club, and Mr. Stein and Mr. Snow, who took a Fall cruise to Portland In a cabin cruiser. They have been en tertained by the captains of the differ ent crews. Captain Hazlett, of the Swallow; Sholin, of the Sparrow Nicholas, of the Kenosha, and Captain Stanchfield all have helped, to make their stay pleasant. Last night they were the guests of honor at an Informal dance at the club house. They leave for Astoria tomor row. The sailors are ready to quit after a season which has been well managed. Much of the credit goes to the commit tee headed by Robert Bain. Jr., with whom served V. Dent and. E. W. Stanchfield. Bain formerly was yachtsman of San Francisco Bay. TEAMS .

SPOKANE SERIES ANALYZED Portland Riders Win Northwest Title for Second Time in Succession, but Regret Is Expressed at Absence of Canadians. BY RALPH J. BTAEHLI. Along with the growth of popularity of golf in the Northwest will bask another game. It Is polo, and the au thority for the opening statement is Victor A. Johnson, chairman of the polo committee of the Waverly Country Club. Mr. Johnson has Just returned from Spokane, where Portland won the Northwest championship for the sec ond successive time. One more victory in tne Northwest tournament gives the Waverly pololsts permanent possession of the- Northwest tltufar trnnhv "Polo was the ble thing at Spokane Fair, said Mr. Johnson. "The weather was miserable on eight of the nine days of the fair, but still every game of polo drew an immense crowd. The games In Portland illustrator how the public takes the game of nolo. Here the crowd was so denr that one woman was injured and other accidents were only narrowly averted by the skill of the riders. "We have made plans here to have stand of some sort, both for the protection of players and spectators. The board has not taken any action. but a recommendation will be made and I am sure that the Waverly Club win ao something to make the game more firmly established, such estab lishment being identified by permanent equipment for the game." The Portland Hunt Cub has for sev eral years talked of a polo team, but so far has failed to organize one. How ever, the members of that organization have not forgotten their resolve and several members. Including E. K. Op- penheimer, are still talking the game and would like to see the club make it possible to play on the Garden Home tract. The round there is not suited to the game at present, but a drainage sys tem and some grading would make it a good polo meadow at no great ex pense. "Portland has now had a good trial of the game and I would like to see competition started here. "Of course, none of the other teams which we met are any better equipped for practice with other organized teams than we are, but local competition INTERIOR VIEW OF THE LARGEST ICE HIPPODROME IN THE WORLD, NEARTNG COMPLETION AT TWENTIETH AND MARSHALL STREETS. i-f.vcwwi.'f'ni'' faff "?yy!z& ''7' SNAPSHOT TAKEN JOHNNY LUSH. ought to be obtained as the game grows older in Portland." Portland's team played slashing polo at Spokane against Lewlston, Spokane and Boise. The former two were In the tourney for the first time this year, while Boise has had a team for sev eral seasons. Portland won Its game against each of the trio. Boise beat Spokane and Lewiston, but lost to Portland. Spo kane beat Lewlston, but lost to Boise and Portland and Lewiston lost all around. All the teams were well mounted and Spokane has a band of players whose mettle is unquestioned. They played here in July and though organized but three months when they apeared here, gave Portland strenuous opposition. Next year Waverly will look to Spo kane as one of the strangest teams of the Northwest. Lewiston has the men. and has prospects. One of the disappointments of this campaign, was the fact that the Cana dian teams could not compete. North Fork, Feklsko and other Al berta teams were expected to be in the Spokane tournament, but the mili tary authorities refused to let the play ers take their steeds out of the coun try. At the last moment permission was given, but It was too late to get to Spokane in time to play the scheduled games. OREGON LANDS BIG PRIZE WALTER MUIRIIEAD, STAR TRACK MAN OP COLUMBIA, ENTERS, "Bill" Hayward Makes Prediction that Nexv Recrnit will be os Next Olmpla Team. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Sept. 26. (Special.) The biggest . ad dition that an Oregon track squad has ever received arrived in a one-man package labeled Walter Muirhead, last Saturday. It was an "eleventh-hour" decision which brought the greatest "prep" school athlete ever developed in the Northwest to this institution, and his father made It after deliberating for days between Oregon and Notre Dame. In fact a letter to "Bill" Hay ward stated that Muirhead was to leave for the Indiana college a week ago. "Muirhead will Jump 6 feet 4 inches in his freshman year and will be on the next American team to the Olympic games," said "Bill" Hayward. Coach Callicrate, of Columbia Uni versity, Portland, is the man who dis covered Muirhead and brought him out. Last season "Moose" alone took enough points for his team to win the state interscholastic meet. This feat was published broadcast and colleges from all parts of , the country have written Muirhead in their - efforts to induce him to register. . Columbia has contributed liberally of her best athletes to the lemon-yellow teams during the last few seasons. In college now are Garett, Spellman. Muir head, Philbin and Malarkey; Goreczy of the same school is scheduled to ar rive Monday or Tuesday. Dean Walker, former varsity football captain and graduate manager, also received his high school education at Columbia. 1 2 4 v V -J M WHEN SAND WAS BEING PLACED ICE RINK IS HUGE Hippodrome at Twentieth and Marshall Ready Soon. PLACE MAY SEAT 5000 Skating Hall to Be Largest of Kind in World Structure to Be Fin ished in Three Weeks. Plant Below. When Portland's new artificial Ice rink is completed and opened to the public within the next three weeks. this .city will be able to boast of the largest rink of its kind ii the world. It is at Twentieth and Marshall streets. Its dimensions are 360 feet long and 135 feet wide, and nearly 16 miles of IVi-lnch pipe was used In networking the floor space for the Ice-cold brine that will be used tot freeze the water. Around the surface seating space has been provided for nearly 5000 persons. and great hockey contests are ex pected before the Winter Is over. Fourteen trusses, each weighing 24 tons, are placed in the roof, and 12 troughs, each 40 feet long and contain., ing five 250-watt lamps, light the hip. podrome. In this way the light will be reflected from the celling to prevent the lamps from casting direct rays on the ice. It required 132H yards of sand to fill in between the pipes to make them solid, and everything available has been done to make this the greatest ice hippodrome in the world. Although the building is 360 feet by 175 feet, the extra 40 feet of space at one side of the ice rink is taken up with the ladles' restroom, smoking room, skateroom, restaurant and en gine-room. The rink Is owned by Portland capl tal and likely will be run for eight months In the year. A commercial ice company will occupy an underground portion of the establishment, thus di viding the operating expenses with the Ice company and cutting down the cap ltal needed in both investments. Ouimet Proves Title Right. HILLS, N. J.. Sept. 26. For the sec ond time within a month Francis Ouimet, of Brookline, Mass., the new National golf champion, proved his right to the title by defeating Jerome D. Travers, of Upper Montclair, N. J the ex-champion, on the Baltimore links today. Three weeks ago, on the Ekwanok Club's course near Manchester, Vt. Ouimet won the final of the National tournament by 6 to 5 from Travers, but the winning margin today was reduced to two and one.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 26. (Spe cial.) It begins to look as If a re markable heavyweight has been un covered in Harry Wills, the New Or leans colored man, who has been show ing well in the four-round game. WillB' first matcn was against vyuue Jueenan and ha handled the San Francisco comedian with so much ease as to cause followers of the game to sit up and pay attention. Then Wills was matched for last week with Charlie Miller, the giant copvhioht ti MOUSC Of KUPPIKHIIUtB To the Lawyer: We ask you to take under advise ment the case of our new Fall Kuppen- heimer Clothes, which we as laymen believe .would do credit to your distinguished profession. You will find in their wide range of styles an authoritative interpretation of fashion's laws from the radical tendencies af fected by English barristers to the more conserva tive leanings of their American brethren. Likewise in workmanship, in fit, iri fabrics, their brief of title to superior ity is clear and unquestioned witness the verdict which thinking clothes buyers have handed down in their favor. In months of the most intimate personal acquaintance with a Kuppenhei- mer Suit, you will find no evidence, direct or cir cumstantial, conflicting with the testimony we give here. , In view of these facts and not overlooking the moderation with which they are priced, may we suggest that if tomorrow's court docket permits you call and personally cross" examine a few of them. We further assert that if you hand dowri an opinion in their favor, you will find no cause for a recall of that judicial decision. Kuppenheimer Clothes $18, $20, $25 and up to $40 GUS. KUHN, Pres. Successor to Steinbach & Co. motorman. Miller lasted a trifle more than one minute. Wills picked hla man up and sat him down very much as you would handle a stuffed doll. Then he cuffed him with a right to the Jaw that put Charlie on the carpet and finally brushed him to the floor with some thing like a Bhove. After the third shove of that sort Miller subsided and waited for the count to declare him out. There Is no mistaking that Wills has a tough punch, although to most ot those who were In attendance at the matches It looked as If Miller quit when he might have lasted a trifle longer. While there is no one in the four round game against whom Wills can be Bent, some talk has been created about a possible match with Gunboat Smith over the 20-round distance. Smith might accept, but it is doubtful if any promoter would care to stage the affair. There Is to be a vote this coming November as to whether the boxing game Is to continue and shrewd promoters ,do not want to take any chances.
