TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAy, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 14. 1915. EXHIBITS GAMES BURRED ON COAST Major Leaguers Not to Get Permits for Training or Barnstorming Trips. SPRING SEASON LIMITED Camps to Be Kept Open Only TJirea Weeks Before Start of Regular ' Games Warning Given i on Winter Ball. SAM FRAXCISCO, Cal., Xcv. 13. SpecIal.) Exhibition baseba'l games either before or following the regular season will not, in the future, be toler ated in the Pacific Coast League, and the gates of the parks will be barred to any such contests. Rrastic action was taken by the Coast directors, who convened today for their annual conclave, and it means that in the future Major League ball clubs will not be welcomed to this section for their Spring training trips. As well, there will be no barnstorming by Major League clubs or clubs made up of Major Leaguers. After many years President Baum and his associates have decided that it is not good judgment to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, and the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted: "Ilesolvcd that no exhibition games be played in Coast League cities prior or subsequent to the playing season." Action Surprise. The action hardly comes as a sur prise since individual directors had al ready expressed themselves against al lowing big league teams to come here for the Spring. Comiskey not alone brought his, White Sox to the Coast, but divided his men into two squads, which was the real cause for protest. Here after the Coasters will do no playing save during their own season. In the same conjunction, it was agreed that no more than three weeks be given over to Spring training. Here tofore most of the clubs have been a month and five weeks in the Spring training camps, which is unquestion ably a waste of money. President Baum wai instructed by resolution to enforce the ruling of the National Association, which prohibits players in organized baseball from com peting against ineligibles either in or out of the season. As has been said, this refers to the Imperial Valley League, which has harbored a number of Federals during the Winter months Coast players competing against the Federals will be fined or susepnded. Winter Ball Disapproved. A warning is issued as well to the talent in the Coast League against Win ter baseball of any sort. They are ad vised that the Coast League disapproves of Winter baseball, and it is a detri ment to the playing ability of the men The pennant was formally awarded to the San Francisco club. Late in the afternoon there was informal discus sion of salary limits and other league affairs, but no action was taken at the time. The meeting was attended as follows" President Allan T.

California Football Notes UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Berkeley, Nov. 13. (Special.) Smarting under defeat, the loyal Cali fornia student body rallied to their team on Monday morning in defiance of the ominous clouds ub'jve, and the Northern team already on its way home with California's "golden bear.'' Misnamed a "consolation rally," it was move properiy called a "come back rally." for the yel. leader coach, and even President Wheeler himself were there to pat the learn on the back and pledge the continued faith and support of the university. Captain Canfield spoke, making no excuses. Trainer Walter Christie said "Victory teaches us no lessons, but we learn from defeat." "Presy" expressed his faith that never again would California rooters have to sit through such an ordeal. Dobie's success is not attributed, by J Washington University writer, to the material from which he chose his team, but to his system of development. A law man with the necessary physique and an ordinary amount of grit has more cha ice with. Dobie than former high scluol "whizzes." The stars of this game had no trails of glory ex tending back to "prep school" days, and some former stars failed to make the t-am. Dobie emphasizes the principles of phycholegy. He fights to keep his men from becoming over-confident, hav ing bet on several occasions against his own team. He has a motto which he uses with his men. It is: "I am always right, you are always wrong." He is a severe task master, insisting on a fighting spirit and absolute obedience. But tin ee new plays a wc-ck is his limit. xiie men are never held to a trainin table, but a cleaner bunch could hardly be found. It was remarkable, that though the men came in at all hours of the night after the game here, the landlady of their hotel was not awakened by any disturbance, and carousing had evi dently not been indulged in. At Saturday's game 1000 yellow chrysanthemums were distributed to California women students as the gift of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. The flowers were grown at her home at Pleasanton. As soon as "space permitted," the Dally Californian, the student paper, devoted half a column to a review of the article by President Foster, of Reed College, entitled "An Indictment of In tercollegiate Athletics." which appears in the current Atlantic Monthly. No comment is made by the reviewer. This article was highly commended by Professor Bowden in a class which met previous to the big game. Though a teacher of music. Professor Bowden turned aside to comment on th Rnirit of sportsmanship which Dr. Foster em- pnasizes, and wmch originated, as Mr. Bowden said, in England. More than $20,000 was cleared by California as a result of the big game. This is the largest receiot halu-(. with the exception of last vem- Th attendance was 1,4,000 this year where as 26,000 witnessed last year's game. The receipts went this year entirely to California, except for expenses for the Seattleite Journey. HAL BOY WlliS $20,000 r - PACING EVENT AT FAIR MEET CAP. TIRED IN 3 STRAIGHT HEATS. White Sox.

COL LEGE, Corvallis,. Nov. 13. (Special.) Much of the solid support which has been accorded the Oregon Agricultural College football team by the student body during the hard Fall campaign is due to the leadership of Yell Leader "Kewp" Green, of Aberdeen, Wash., who has won the confidence of the students by his untiring efforts In producing successful rallies and bis successful direction of the organized cheering. Green is a short, slender lad the smallest in the senior class, but is a veritable fountain of energy and "pep." He was for a time one of the best singers and by far the best stunt man in the glee club and the qualities of voice ana oemcanor wnieh brought him to the fore in that work have aided in his success as a "yell king." The recent demonstration accorded the football team on its return from Michigan, said by those long connected with the college to be the greatest In the history of local athletics, was un der his direction, as have been the rallies and "pep" meetings. He has charge of the transportation of the student body to Eugene en masse No vember 20. on the occasion of the great struggle with the University of Oregon for the state championship "Chuck" Stidd. of the junior class, is serving as assistant to Green and the two men are proving the most ef fective combination in the history of the college as enthusiasm raisers. The cheering from the rooters sections has this year been the best ever offered to encourage an Oregon Agricultural College team. HILLSBOHO IS DEFEATED, 15-7 Wasliougal High School Eleven Wins in Slashing Game. HILLSBORO. Or.. Nov. 13. (Special.) The Hillsboro High School eleven was oereated by Washoueal Hisrh Srhii here this afternoon, 15 to 7. The game irom me iirst blow of the whistle was iougnt with snap and speed. Washougal opened with fast cross tackle plays, and line bucks. Wegr of Washougal. in the first mm.-,!..' kicked a drop, and in the second quar ter the same player made a 23-varrt run for a touchdown. By a fluke, Hills boro got away with a forward pass during this period, scoring a touch down. Big yardage gains were made by both teams during the last half, but sheer fight to defend the goals successively drove the ball by punts back into the open field of play. In the third quarter, with the ball within 40 yards of the goal. Quarter back Weger again scored a touch down by a forced center rush. Hills boro ends.

SMACK OF LIPS IS HEARD Koscoe Eawcett Believes Nebraska In Eight or Ten Months Will Wail Over Easy Plucking or Coin From Big Farmer's Friends. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. In about eight or ten months the folk of the countryside will hear loud wails exuding from the State of Ne braska and the more philanthropically Inclined will be taking up collections to forward to Bill Bryan's state for the benefit of certain heart-sick and needy wrestling fans. This prediction is founded upon a well-established belief that in about eight or ten months Joseph Stecher, of Dodge. Neb.. and his multitudinous financial backers will be ripe for the plucking by Frank Gotch, world's champion wrestler. For several months we have been sitting back in our swivel cushions watching the old army game proceed. Stecher Honored at Banquet. Stecher is a big fellow, weighing about 210 pounds, and he has been whipping everybody around the middle oeit or tne country with such startling I regularity that the fans there look upon I him as a copper-colored idol. Not long ago the fans got up a big banquet for Stecher and a diamond belt was presented to him by the Gov ernor. Frank Gotch long since exhausted all his ammunition and now there is nobody left to help Gotch bring in the dollars. Twice he has retired, only to "come back" against some unripe spec imen of human carcass. I So why not Stecher? Game Past Preliminaries. Already the game has gone beyond the preliminaries. The "trust" sent Charley Cutler, of Chicago, to Omaha and, according to the dope sent out over the telegraph wires. Cutler's back ers figured he coulu beat the farmer boy easily. . They are credited with losing some ?10,000 when Stecher wound his long legs around Cutler and began to apply the pressure. This money probably was worth about $1 -.2 Mex. Cutler is too good a wrestler to let any "raw farmer boy" beat him at his own game, unless we are 842 furlongs off our base. Cutler was simply there to feel Stecher out to see how good he really was and also to accomplish the dual purpose of working Stecher's friends to that pitch where they will be willing to mortgage the old homestead to back their phenom. Fall by Roller Recalled. Joe Carroll, who is as wise as they make 'em about the mat game, was in Seattle a few days ago and he said Gotch would have to beat Stecher in 20 minutes or not at all. Possibly! He thinks Stecher would throw Dr. Roller easily, although, if we remem ber arignt. Roller pinned him to the mat quite some time ago before the "warming up" process was begun. Stecher and Cutler drew 121.000 in Omaha, showing that P. T. Barnura underestimated on his "one-per-min-ute" ratio. Gotch's backers figure that a Gotch-Stecher match would draw $75,000. In the meantime we are sitting high, watching the coils tighten. GUARD SMOKEIi IS TUESDAY Oregon City Company Representa tives to Compete at Armory.
