Newspaper Page Text6 THE- SUNDAY 'OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 1G. 1919. PHILDRQQK REM FROM GAME HAUNTS EDWARD H. PHILBROOK, BROTHER OF MULTNOMAH CLUB FOOTBALL COACH FOUND PLENTY OF GAME ON TWO MONTHS' HUNT IN ALASKA. ta& Brother of Winged M Coach Has Good Luck in 'Alaska. MANY TROPHIES BAGGED Hunter Has Lively Experience With Grizzly Bear While Tramping Wilds of Far North.-. Edward H. Philbrook. brother of George PhUbrook, famous athlete and coach of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic club, returned to Portland last week after two months pent in the Interior of Alaska hunting for big ame. The trip was a combined busi ness and pleasure Jaunt, as Philbrook, who was formerly connected with the automobile industry. Is now affiliated with a motion picture concern and it was for the purpose of getting pic tures of Alaskan scenery and wild animals and to collect trophies that he made the trip north. The scene of Mr. Philbrook's big game hunting experiences was laid In the Alaska-Yukon territory, 300 miles north of the Tukon river, and, as PhUbrook says, "300 miles from civilization." This region, which is the greatest big-game hunting ground on the continent, lies at the northern i extremity of the Rocky mountain range. j The trip inland was made by canoes and the party was led by an Indian guide. Much Game Bagged. Caribou, moose, mountain sheep and grizzly bear all fell victims to Phil-, brook's high - powered rifle. He brought down six caribou, two moos, several mountain sheep and )wo gfclzzly beara All the game was bagged within five miles of the hunt ers camp. Philbrook had several experiences on his trip that he will not soon for get, but the one that he will always remember and which was foremost in his mind as he related his adventures yesterday had to do with a grizzly hunt. He had already killed one of the huge bears and was after another which he had wounded. The wounded grizzly, after being cornered, turned and charged the hunter, and it was only by a couple of well-directed shots that the beast was stopped and a hand-to-hand combat prevented. Freeze Come Early. The freeze-up in the northern region came this year two weeks before it was expected and the party was caught in the ice while coming out They were compelled to leave their canoes and trophies with the . Indians and complete the journey to the Yukon river on foot. "With only one day's provisions left In their packs, the party reached the waters of .the Yukon and civilization. Mr. Philbrook will make the trip north again in the spring to secure , the valuable trophies which he was forced to leave with the Indians. Several trips to the tropics as well as other expeditions to the northern region are being planned by Phil brook. LONG TRIP KETS 4 DUCKS HOOD RIVER HUNTERS TRAVEL 500 MILES FOR BIRDS.

Derby have made a record as hunters here this year. The two men traveled BOO miles and .killed only two ducks each. District Attorney Derby's cousin, J. B. Anderson, of Bend, was returning home from The Dalles with a new automobile. He invited the local men to join him and go to Davis lake, 58 miles south of Bend, for duck shoot ing, reported good. "We had five blowouts between The Dalles and Bend," says Mr. De Witt. "It- was just one darn flat tire after another. We reached our destination at 12:30 o'clock the second day out of The Dalles. Our lights, too, went bad. I tok the' wheel for a time and drove through the far-famed Trout Creek canyon between Antelope and Madras with the lights merely flickering a little. We finally gave it up, and while the other two men were pre paring camp I went at the generator. I persevered until I got things glow ing again. We rode on until we struck Metolius. " arriving there at 4:30 o'clock, and slept until 7." , The hunters' had ,to start home at an appointed hour, the presence of the district attorney being required at & grand jury session. They were able to spend just two hours on the nunting grounds, CANADIAN PLAYERS LISTED Baseball Official Issues Reserve Roll of 1010 Pastimers. WINNIPEG. Man.. Nov. 15. John yr. Farrell of Auburn. N.

British Isle Challengers Want De cember Games Delayed Until Late in January. NEW YORK, Nov. 15. Something like a tempest in a teapot is brew ing between the Australians and the British Isles because the latter has been dilatory as to meeting the usual engagement dates for the challenge matches for the Davis international cup. Instead of the matches being decided, as has been the custom for a number of years, during the latter part of November or the first of De cember, as was the case when Maurice E. McLoughlin, William A. Larned and Beals C. Wright attempted to re gain the world iainus cup in the Antipodes, the British Isles chal lengers have asked for a delay until late in January. The Australians are not disposed to accept this request as indicating any thing other than that the British Isles team Kingscote, Beamish and Lowe esire to continue their sojourn in South Africa, where the team has been playing since it left England. There is the disposition on the part of the Australian ofticials to regard the delay as putting off the very impor tant international cup series for what amounts to exhibition matches of an inter-colonial order. It is hinted that the optimism of Norman E. Brookes as to the Australian holders of the Davis cup having no difficulty in re taining their possession of the world trophy has somewhat dampened the ardor of the challengers so that they are enjoying their trip before taking the expected licking. That the situation has aroused the ire bf some of those who direct lawn tennis affairs in Australia is indicated by an article signed by the famous expert, "Austral," in the recent issue of the Sydney Referee that has just reached this country. He writes, in part, as follows: "It is impossible for any impartial observer to escape the conviction that the English Lawn Tennis association has not bestowed sufficient thought on the question of getting the British Isles team to Australia to play the challetige round this year, let alone on the dates announced by the Aus tralian association as advisable It does seem as If it would have been possible for the English and French associations to arrange for berths for members of the winning team. "In another matter the English as sociation has left undone something it ought to have done, and that is to notify the Australian association of the result of the previous rounds at an earlier date. Actually, we do not know offcially today the result of the match between England and France. The honorable secretary of the Australian association, T. H. Hicks, only received on Saturday last the official result of the match be tween the British Isles and South Africa, played much earlier. Either the honorable secretary of the Eng lish association is too busy or he has overlooked this matter. The Davis cup rules are quite explicit on this point. The impossibility of fixing the dates is already causing considerable in convenience with respect to the book ing of the seats and the erection of the stands. The result will most cer tinly be that the matches will be played In January, 1920. and It is al most certain that one or more of the days will be extremely hot, and the visitors will feel this more than our men." 1 A real ball moose Telghlii&; 1HOO pound, which fell prey to Philbrook rifle. 2 -Philbrook "pawing; over Brent grlaalr that wu nailed after a battle.

Story of Trade Roils Manager. The story ox a trade In which Ownie Bush of the Detroit club would go to the Boston Red So-x in ex change for.. Shortstop Scott has brought a large yelp from Hughey Jennings, Tiger manager. Hughey, in an interview given to an eastern paper, states that no such trade has been suggested, and al though the swapping of Bush for Scott would make little difference in the strength of the two teams. Jennings steadfastly maintains that the trade has not been spoken of. "Bush and Scott are unquestionably both very good ballplayers," said Hughey recently, "aiigi neither team would be weakened very much through such an exchange. However I do not know a thing except what has been reported in the newspapers. Possibly something will result at the winter baseball meeting, when I look for many important happenings in the baseball world. Which sort of sets at rest the rumor that Scott and Bush would soon fig ure in a trade.

N'. Babon, Ben Fob BY BILLY EVANS, American League Umpire. Get their goat, and we will defeat them. Baseball has originated many a slang expression. Some of them are national institutions. "Atta boy," "show some pepper "e-inger up" find "come on boys, a little life," are a few expressions of the ball field. None Is better known than "get their goat. In' 1914 the Boston Braves made the Philadelphia Athletics look foolish in the world series. The Athletics were top-heavy favorites, but the Braves won four straight. Since then It has been common talk that the Braves won because they, to use the slang of the ball field, "got the goats" of "the Philadelphia players from the start, and thereby to a great extent ruined their effectiveness. I know several players on the Braves, and they insisted the way the Braves rode the Athletics was what made winning so easy. They told me personalities flavored with tobasco sauce were hurled at the Athletics. Family af fairs and state secrets were dug up and told the world. I have always taken such talk with a grain of salt. No one can make me believe the Braves won purely on I conversation. I think the Braves won i because the team played the better I ball, was favored with airtight pitch- ! ing, and some one always was able to come through with a timely hit, when an opportunity to score was of fered. In addition, the breaks favored the Braves. Usually the breaks favor the winning team. Athletics Are? Outplayed. In many cases the style of play adopted by such a team, makes possi ble such breaks. To top off the work of the Braves, it was a team that played with a confidence In its ability to beat not only the Athletics, but any oid team. Perhaps this or that Athletic player was a bit affected by the "ride" given him by the Boston players, but it played only a small part in the final result, I have always figured the Braves deserved to win, because the team outplayed the Ath letics In all departments, not because there were a couple of fellows on the club who could say unkind things to the opposing players. Recently I read a statement by Johnny Evers. who assisted Manager Moran of the Cincinnati club in prep aration for the series with tne "White Sox. Evers said no player on the Cin cinnati club played a more prominent part in the success of the Reds than Smith. Perhaps many people will be surprised to know Smith was on the club. Evers said Smith, by his per sonal remarks, so "got the goat" of a number of Chicago players, that they were unable to do themselves justice. Evers mentioned Eddie Collins among the players affected. Of course to me that was a laugh, knowing Cellins as T do. Smith is a substitute on the Cincinnati club, who had evident ly been appointed as the cheer leader of Red's crew of "goat getters." It seems to me that Evers state ment in giving so much credit to Smith, is hardly fair to the rest of the team that played such magnifi cent baseball. I would say the first game won by Cincinnati was made possible by Ruethers good pitching, his own hard hitting, and the gen eral excellent play of the Reds. The second game, it seemed to me, was won through Sallees ability to pitch airtight ball in the pinches, coupled with a timely three-base wailop by Kopf, after Williams "raa passed sev eral men. Kerr's pitching for Chicago was responsible for the third game going to the Sox. Pitch Ins; Blsr Factor. When a team can't make a run, it hasn't much chance to win. That is what happened to .Chicago in the fourth game. It strikes me that the superb pitching of Jimmy Ring was the deciding factor in this game. Ed die Cicotte pitched about as well, but his two errors defeated him. The fifth game stands as a monument to the prowess of Hod Eller. In that game he caused nine of the Chicago players to go otit on strikes, getting six in a row. Chicago won the sixth and seventh games, because the Reds faltered in the sixth, the only break in the series, while Cicotte was master of the Reds in the seventh. A genuine batting spree by Cincinnati maUt? possible the winning of the eighth game, 19 to 5. A resume of the series makes it apparent the pitching ot Rout her, Sal lee. Eller and Ring had much to do with winning. Likewise, the timely hitting of Kopf, Duncan. Uroh, Diu bert and Neale had considerable to do with the Reds finishing on top. In cidentally, the brilliant work in the field of Eddie Roush and the splendid catching of Wlnso . and Rarideu played an equal part. It seems to me that to give a sub stitute who contributed nothing more than conversation a higher rating than the players mentioned is unfair to those players and a bit of a knock to the game from a sportsmanlike viewpoint. Most people who like base ball do so because they believe it is the cleanest of all sports, people who believe results are attained through superiority on the ball field, not be cause some bench warmers can get away with stinging personalities thst tend to upset the players made the target for them. 1 like baseball too well to think for even a minute that "tobasco conversation" beat the Chi cago ball club. I maintain the Reds won because they played better ball, and deserved the victory on their merits. PI ay era Are Offender. 3Don't get the Impression that '"per sonalities"' were not indulged in. I regret they were to a decided degree. Don't get the impression that the Reds were the sole offenders. The battle of tongues was started by the Reds, probably led by Smith, since Evers gives him so much credit. Don't think the White Sox stood for it with out a murmur. Nay! Nay. They came back in like language. I didn't like the stuff. I commented about it In the dressing room after one game and expressed regret that a better spirit of sportsmanship couldn't be shown. World- series games are peculiar In many ways. The games are piayea under the rules of the league where the contest is staged. That Is. in games played on the National league grounds the construction the Na tional league places on many things that can come up are observed, and vice versa on the American league parks. Both games in which 1 was the "umpire in chief" were played at Cincinnati. 1 make this statement to explain an incident when Collins came to bat for the first time in the second game. He was greeted by a chorus of personal remarks from the bench warmers on the Cincinnati club, the purpose being to "get his gc t." A like Incident in an American league game during the regular season would have caused me to stop the contest and warn the offending play ers. A repetition of the incident would have caused d ismissal of the offend ing players. There is a league rule in the American that a player so of fending is automatically suspended for three days. "The Reds are getting a little rough, Eddie." I remarked. "Don't pay any attention to them." answered Bill Rarioen, who was catching. "They are harmless and believe they must earn their share some way." Now to combat the statement by Evers that Smith got Collins' goat, which will prove Collins as a gentle man and real sportsman. m The chatter from the bench continued. "I don't know whether it is custom ary to allow such talk in the National league games." I remarked to Rari den, "but it seems some ot the boys are overstepping themselves a bit." "Forsret about it Bill," replied Col lins, "those sfellows are not bothering me, and if you stop the game, and go over to the Cincinnati bench and try to stop them, it will be embarrassing for you. You will get nothing better than a "razzing . No, 1 refuse to be'.iev rough con versation decided the recent world series. I prefer giving the credit to the men who did real things. 1 do be lieve too much rough stuff was passed out. It has no place in baseball. I know it has no place In American league games. President Johnson fig ures the public goes to see a hall game, and makes his umpires conduct the game along that theory. He likes plenty of fight and aggressiveness, but puts the ban on conversation that could not break into print in our best family newspapers. (Copyright 1919 by W. G.

Jack Pempsey Iff said to have signed entative articles of agreement for a 20-round battle with Joe Beck ett for the heavyweight title at New Orleans on 'March 17, but it is de cidedly doubtful whether the men face each other in the ring on that date. , Apparently Beckett's consent to the match has yet to be obtained and it may prove to be a decidedly diffi cult matter to get the Englishman's signature to a set of articles. As a general thing a chance to fight for the world's championship is not turned down, but there are several reasons why Beckett should hesitate. Ijoaer End No Boon. In the first place there ia nothing to indicate that Beckett would have a reasonable chance to take away anything more than the loser's end of the purse, and the loser's end may not prove to be much" of an Induce ment to him. Beckett will not get the match unless he defeats Georges Carpentier and by so doing wins the heavy weight championship of Europe. If Beckett comes into that title he will have an asset that will be worth a fortune. 'He would 'be able to take things easy meeting the third and fourth-ratera of England and France for large purses. Return battles with Carpentier and Bombardier Wells and bouts with some of the clumsy lesser lights would keep hrm busy for a long time to come. So there really is no great Incentive for him to come over here and take a licking from the hard-hitting Dempsey. English Ideas Peculiar. However, there ia a chance that Beckett will take himself as seriously as some of the English boxing critics do. Australians thought the late Les Darcy was the greatest fighter that ever lived after he had beaten Mc Goorty, so Beckett also may think he accomplished something note worthy when he disposed of the an cient middleweight in 17 roilnds. English ideas of the American heavyweight situation long have bor dered on the grotesque. Before the war the leading boxing critics were sure that Young Ahearn was a for midable candidate for the world', I heavyweight title. They dubbed him "John Bull's Boy" and went into ec stasies over his science and hitting ability. 1 JusL about that time'' Gunboat Smith went to England and made a very poor showing with Georges Carpentier. The Gunner was a rough house fighter, whose ring tactics were altogether different from what the conservative English thought a real boxer should display, and ao their opinion of American heavyweights in general was still further distorted. Dempaey Has to Go. Not having seen Beckett In action, tt may be as hard to judge him from this side of the Atlantic as it is for the English followers of boxing to get a true line on Dempsey's ability, but Jt seems safe to predict that ha would be able to make Dempsey ex tend himself. Beckett is nothing more than a novice, and even though he may be of good material, he entirely lacks experience. Beckett has yet to meet a rood sec ond rater. Therefore he has had no chance to learn what real fighting means. He has not even seen a matt of Dempsey's caliber in action. Berkett May Iefea Carpentier. However, it will be time enough to get excited over a Beckett-Dempsey match when the Englishman has dis posed of Georges Carpentier. whom he meets on December 4. Carpentier himself has always been more or less of a mystery to American boxing fol lowers, although so much has been printed about the ring prowess of the Frenchman. Carpentier reached the height of his ability just before the war start ed. At that time he probably was a formidable heavyweight, judging by his contests with Joe Jeannette and Gunboat Smith, although he lost the decision to Jeannette and was on the floor taking the count when he won the bout from Smith on an alleged foul. Frr srk Hero Below Form. But the French war hero has done no serious ring fighting in over four years, so it stands to reason that he is far below his best form. There Is not one chance in a hundred that he will be able to regain hlB best form. For that reason Beckett may be able to beat him and still fail to show himself a match for Dempsey. if Beckett wants to be taken seri ously as a contender for Dempsey's title he should first dispose of one or two of the leading American contend ers. A victory over Fred Fulton. Billy Miskf. Bill Brennan or ex-en Battling L.evlnsky would earn him serious consideration.
