The score was 3-2 and it was a corking game of ball. Both Holling and Sutherland were steady. There was plenty of hitting and the fielding was high class The two errors did no damage and all the runs were earned. Had there been anything: at stake, quite a bit of excitement courld Jiave been kicked up over a game like that. Hack Miller drove the ball on a line Into the left field bleachers in the sixth. It was one of the hardest belt3 of the season here, for the ball hardly turned over from the time it left the tat until a kid caught it in the bleach ers. The kid must be made of hero Fluff, for there are few experienced ballplayers who would have chal lenged that ball barehanded. Hit Only Ten Fret High. The hit was only about ten feet tiigh and shot into the bleachers like a bullet. Portland was first to score. Koeh Jer's two-bagger being cashed into a. run when followed by a bunt and a Jong fly in the third. The Oaks tied it In the fifth on a pass to Mitze, a tunt and hits by Lane and Cooper. I.ane tried to score with Mitze on Cooper's single, but Cox cut him down fit the plate by a fine throw. Koeh 1' r had to dive to get Lane but he Cot him. Miller's fierce slam. for a homer In he sixth put the Oaks ahead again Jiut Portland tied it in the eighth on granger's hit, an infield out and liluc's two-bagger. Oaks Score In Eighth. The Oaks broke it up in the last f the eighth. Cooper got a pass, (Miller was an infield, out, but Jack Knight delivered the timely punch and Cooper scored, Ginglardi and J-Irubaker also got hits, but they counted for nothing as Wisterzil tossed Mitze out to close the inning.

Five Teams Must Be Considered as Contenders In Interscliolastlc Football Competition. The first week of the 1920 lnter scholastic football season is over and the games played, which were in spots ragged. , indicate that at least five of the teams which made their initial appearance last week will have to be considered as contenders for the title. The teams are Washington, Columbia, i-ranklin, Benson and Lincoln and the dope favors Washington to walk through the season without a defeat. In the opening game the Colonials overwhelmed Commerce by a 76 to 0 score. The east side squad will out weigh any of the other teams in the league and besides that advantage has seven of last year's men back in the harness. The schedule for this week calls for Washington to play, two games, the first with the Hill Military academy team on Monday and the second with Franklin high on Friday. Hill is the only team of the circuit which has not yet been seen in action and may prove to be the dark horse. It is certain that Washington will not find the cadets an easy opponent as they have always put up a great fight even if they have been bested in the end. Dean Donason, director of athletics at Hill and Coach Harding have worked the cadets overtime dur ing the past week in preparation for the game Monday. If the cadets can stop the plunging backfield of the Washington team they should be able to hold the Colon ials to a low score. Tuesday, Columbia -will have an easy game, being opposed by the High School of Commerce team. Columbia in its first game last week against Benson, showed itself to be a fast shifty combination and well drilled in football tricks due to the coaching of "Slip" Madigan. Commerce showed little in Us game against Washington except that the Bookkeepers could take a lot of punishment. Against a lighter aggregation the Commerce squad might be able to show some thing but against Washington they were outclassed from start to finish. James John and Jefferson will be the opposing teams on Wednesday and from the showing made by the two squads last week the contest should be 'very even. Thursday Benson meets Lincoln in what should be another close con test. Friday one of the vital games of the year will be played when Washing ton and Franklin meet. Of the teams that played last week Franklin ap pears to be the only one that has the weight and experience to hold its own with Washington and the game Fri day should (be a' torrid one. Several players new to local scho lastic circles made their appearance last week and showed up in great shape. Stockton and Cudahy of Co lumbia. Hobson of Franklin. Jones and Murray of Jefferson, Harper of Commerce. French of Washington and Hunt of Lincoln a!I looked to have the goods in their first contests. Home Run Record of Babe Ruth Questioned. Fan Writes to Inquire If Miphty Swat Are Not Also Faked, IN VIEW of the deplorable stories coming out of Chicago regarding the buying and selling of games in the world's series of last year, it does not occasion surprise to receive a communication from a fan as follows: "Baseball, from the Facific to the Atlantic, seems to be shot through with rottenness. I understand that "Babe" Ruth is being paid $500 for every home run he knocks out over anj above the old record of 23. He has run up to the startling and un heard of figure at this writing of 64 home runs. We have had baseball dissected in order to see that it is the regular baseball of commerce without any wires, strings or auxiliary motors attached. Now why wouldn't it be a good thing to investigate the pitchers and Ru,th? In view of what has been going on, it might barely be possible that some arrangement has been made whereby "Babe" and the pitchers di vide each $500 plum, the pitchers ar ranging so that "Babe" can hit the ball. It will be noted that Williams, the Chicago pitcher, has been gener ous in the matter. There may be nothing to this, but there are some of us fans who have got to be shown from now on, and this "Ruth" home run record may be all the bunk. It is a condition of affairs and a frame of mind that might well be ex pected. No charge is made that Ruth's record is not entirely honest and fairly earned, but players and man agement have only themselves to blame if the public now thinks that this tremendous home run record is merely another put up game. In the case of baseball players who sell their souls for a mess of pottage, the most charitable thing to say is that they are of inferior mentality. The player with .intellect is a small minority and includes such men as Christy Matthews and his type. By and large, the average baseball player enuld make nothing but very ordinary wafies in any other line of business owtt-'ide of baseball. . There are many who believe the root of the evil does not lie with the player but with the so-called "mag nates" who must be aware of the fact that there is practically an open gam bling market going on.

' FHESHMAH GAME GHAH6ED ' Pxf SIS GRID YEAR LOOMS fff tA : fk EASTERN TALES OF WOE FAIL ING TO IMFRESS COASTERS. Despite Situation In Big Colleges West Is Awaiting Banner Football Season. Eastern football experts have voiced the opinion that the 1920 season will not be up to standards of last year. They base their calculations on the fact that the various eastern teams have not the large nucleus ot veter ans on which to build this year's teams. Also that last year's men were back from the war and full of army training. To some the reasons advanced are not logical. Ever since football was played there have been lean and fat years of veterans. That the war ma terially assisted in the physical make up of the men there is no question, but it does not follow that lack of army training for a year is going to hurt the football ability of the men. Eastern experts cite stars of last year and claim there is no one on the horizon to take their place. That statement is also a myth. Every season produces its stars. "Stars may come and stars may go," yet new stars are always with us. No matter what the situation in the east, the 120 season in the Pa r.-.r , t. . , I cific coast states looms up as the-big- J gest and best that football has ever enjoyed. It makes no difference where you look, whether it be in Washington, Oregon. Idaho. Nevada or California, prospects never were so good as right now. and when the season is over and done with. 1920 will be proclaimed as the best ever. Every college has a goodnucleus of veterans on which to build, and the material from which other positions have to select is of such a caliber that none of the coaches is worrying. As a matter of fact the rule is with the coaches. "What can I do with so many real stars?" And that is gen eral and not local to any one college. Football o-n this coast really only dates its present rise to eastern na tional standards to a few years back. There is no question but that coast colleges always played , a first-class brand of football, but we were never given our just meed of credit by the eastern authorities. It remained for the institution of the "east versus west" match at Pasadena every year to bring the attention of the east to our style and standards of football. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Harvard have all played at Pasadena and the victories of coast colleges or the close margin of defeat as instanced by Harvard 7, Oregon 6. last Janu ary, have all tended to give the east a more healthy respect for the brand of ball played here. There is net the least question but that these inter sectional games have greatly in creased tho high standards of foot ball on this coast, and the present season is showing the real benefits derived from such contests. Already games played in the va rious college centers of the coast states have shown the teams to be remarkably well developed in play ing tactics for so early in the season. When the big games between Ore gon, Washington, California, Nevada and Utah colleges come around the teams will be at their best, and any eastern experts who witness euch games will be forced to admit. "Well, these college teams of the Pacific do know how." GAMBLING EVIL GREAT LEGISLATION SUGGESTED CLEANUP BASEBALL. TO Easy at Present for Gambler to Approach Players With Crooked Propositions. As was to be expected, gambling disclosures made in Chicago in con nection with professional baseball has led to the suggestion being made in various parts of the country that legislation be enacted in order ade quately to punish culprits when caught, something which under pres ent conditions cannot be done. W. W. Mc.Credie. president of the Portland club, has taken the initiative by saying he will propose at the an nual fall meeting of the league that each member bind himself to work in his own state for legislation in this direction. When all is said and done, it seems idle to talk about doing away with gambling on games. It may be possi ble to arrest and convict a gambler w hen he makes an open bet in a ball park, but it must be considered that gambling on any particular game can be done in cities hundreds of miles removed rrom the scene of play, just as is done in the matter of horse racing. It stands to reason that un less players themselves were locked biers to approach them in their hotels or at other leisure moments in order to make their unworthy proposi tions. Fortunately for the game. It rises Above the nastiness 'Which attempts to TRIO OF BATTLERS PRIMED FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S CARD AT MILWAUKIE ARENA. besmirch It. There Is no question it will recover from the experiences of this year, but there Is no telling what might result if more of these affairs are brought to light. Now is the time for the housecleanlng. Let It be done thoroughly and at once, so that it can start out again with a clean bill of health. The players themselves, the honest ones, must cease to be squeamish in the matter of "telling tales" and boldly point out any fellow-player he knows to be engaged in any. underhanded traffic. This at titude by the players must be main tained in the future. It must be un derstood that in future it will be dis honorable to keep mum about things of this sort and that the part of honor will be to do whatever is necessary to keep the taint of crookedness out of the game.

Refuses Orfcrs to Return. The champion jockey of the world is lost to America, according to an nouncement made in Paris recently that Frankie O'Neill, former St. Louis boy, had refused an offer to return to this country. O'Neill, now regarded as the great est jockey in Europe and one of the greatest of all time has purchased a beautiful home and has signed con tracts to ride for French patrons that will keep him engaged for a period of at least five more years. Magnates of the American turf, al ways eager to land the best for their mounts in this country, had little or no chance to persuade O'Neill to for sake France. The former St. Louis lad has been treated royally in Eu rope, and he still nurses a grudge against some American owners who would not consider him several years ago when he would have been glad to accept a contract to ride In his native land. O'Neill's victory at Epsom Downs, on Spion Kop, was all that was need ed to make him the foremost rider In Europe, and assured him a place with the best riders of all time. Since that memorable achievement, the diminu tive American has had things his own way. He has refused some of the best contracts ever offered a rider in Eu rope, but he has refused them to re main with those who befriended him in the early days when he was not so much in demand. The story of O'Neill's rise as a Jockey reads like a chapter from Arabian Nights. He first gained his love of turfdom at the tracks in St. Louis. He passed through the various stages from swipe to exercise boy. then finally got his start on the tracks through Missouri. He went to Eorope to pilot the Vanderbilt horses about 12 years ago. Once on the other side of the Atlan tic, the St. Loris boy seemed to get a death grip on success, for each of his races seemed better than the one before, and Jn a short time he was in demand by all of the leading stables. O'Neill is married and has several children. He can still make 115 pounds without trouble. He draws a salary of $1000 per month and easily earns as much as that on outside work. The news that he will not return here will dampen the enthusiasm of some of America's leading turf pat- Who Will Be Hero of 1920 World's Series ?

Eugene and upper valley sportsmen will have early duck shooting this fall, according to members of the va rious duck clubs of this city who have been out to the swamps lately to look after their shooting grounds and blinds. The sportsmen report more water in the swamps now than is usually found at this time of year. The heavy rains of the past weeks have caused the water in the Long Tom and Coy ote creeks to become about bank full, and as a result there is enough water now in some of the swamps for suc cessful duck shooting.

ITHORP TO BE MET HERE Milwaukle Arena to Bo Scene of Clash Wednesday Bronson to Meet Shannon. BY DICK SHARP. Whenever there Is any real doubt as to the ability of a boxer who makes his way to the Pacific coast the pro moters have one man to draw on who can be depended upon to bring out any good qualities that said battler has. providing, of course, he has any. This person is Johnny McCarthy of, San Francisco. When Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, saw fit to journey to the Pacific coast the pro moters there were in a whirl as to who to put on with Benny. They never figured for a minute that this part of the United States boasted of a boy who can shade the invincible champion or even give him a tough argument, but they did want someone who could give him at least a tough workout. They set on Johnny McCar thy. alwayshere when a rough, rug ged punch receiver and vendor was needed. Johnny, true to expectations, did not beat Benny or shade him, but he did shape him up and give the San Francisco fans a line on hij ability, later several other boxers were pitted against Leonard and the exhibitions were pitiful. McCarthy has been clamoring for a ten-round match w ith Leonard ever since their four-round tangle. There is just such a case to be decided at the Milwaukle arena Wednesday night. Matchmaker Ken dall didn't think that there was a boxer here who could go in a fight with Thorp and beat him. Alex Trambitas elected to take the Kansas City miller on and got a draw but did not take many unnecessary chances during the bout. The tans say that had Alex gone in and foucht the first six rounds like he did the last three he would have been stopped. That is a matter of conjecture en tirely. Johnny McCarthy won't lay back to see what Thorp has got. Ho will wade in to find out and take a few doing so and incidently give a few. Socking is the best little thing J. McCarthy does. Thorp has been work ing a good deal better in the gym nasium preparing for his clash with Sol Levinson's- boxer than he did when training for Trambitas. He is punching straighter. more often and stepping around better. McCarthy arrived yesterday and worked out at the Olympic gymnasi um after Thorp completed his routine, boxing Muff Bronson. Johnny Fiske and several others. He looks to be in excellent shape and has been taking things easy for several weeks. The eight-round semi-windup be tween Eddie Shannon and Muff Bron son, to hear either boy talk, will not go the eight cantos. If ever two boys were primed to put up a scrap it is these two. When both boxers are in the same vicinity the air seems barbed and on edge. They have a little argu ment all of their own to settle on Wednesday night and both look for it to be .settled to their own satisfac tion. When Shannon was training for his fight with Freddie Anderson seme time ago he appealed to Muff to work out with him one afternoon. Bronson took him on and before the workout was over a few knockdowns had been registered. When Eddie was training for Ben jamin, Bronson dropped around to the gym and Shannon again proposed a workout. Bronson again took him up and at tho end of two rounds of slamming and banging friends stepped in and called the contest to a halt. They met in a scheduled ten-round bout in Astoria several months acn. Shannon winrinc the decision in the X, x. -i- .:,. .-29: j&i - Wl A V 4 1 - . . .... Dry Climate Wherever Cigars Arc Sold llllm third round' on a foul. The fans howled for Shannon to continue but Kddie was through for the night ami when he refused to waive the de cision and finish the match lie was greeted with the cry of "quitter." Shannon can hardly be blamed for not going on considering that he had already received the call and also tho way the trend of the fight was gi lng. Uronsoti was sending them in from all angles and Eddie's famous uppercut was not working with sucu precision as usual. Wednesday will tell the tale, say Kddie and Muff. The rest of the card bristles -with fight. Johnny Fiske will box Dick Morris of Kansas City six rounilr ; Frankie Crite.s will tangle six or b-Ss wifh Jack lierry, whiTe a four-rotind curtain-raiser is yet to be settled. D. S. IS AFTER INCOMES PUBLICITY SEEKERS IN B.VD WITH TALES OF BIG SUMS. Fighters Can't Outwit U. S.; Jail for First Man Who Tries to Beat System. Uncle Sam is on the trail of the boxers. The publicity-seeking boxer and his manager who are wont to toll the world they receive all sorts of fabulous amounts for entering the ring have never made out an income tax voucher commensurate with, the amount claimed to have been paid . them. If these boxers and managers were honest in their contentions ai to amounts received, rnd if they paid "income tax" on tTte amounts supposed to be received, it has been estimated by experts that said boxers and man agers would add many millions of dol lars to the United States treasury. It was that famous old showman Barnum who said something about "you can faol all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the- time, but you can't fool all ot the people all of the lime." Boxers and their managers hnve overlooked th fact that our old Uncle Sam cannot be focled. Now Uncle Sam is said to have devised a system of checking up on boxers' and managers' earnings that simply can't be beat and the system is to be put into effect before very many months pass by. Fill Rocap, sports editor of the Phil adelphia Public Ledger, writes that he has learned on splendid authority that such a system has been devised at Washington. The system is such that no one will be able to conceal fact? on actual amounts paid for boxers' services. The system has already been thoroughly tested and has prove! itself without a fault. Rocap says the system is an intricate one, but never theless a very simple one. "It can not be beaten," says Rocap, "and likfl the pari-mutuel machine it will get its share. The first man who under takes to beat the system will go to jail." Up to this time It has been plain sailing for all boxers, no matter whether their claims are $10 or $100, 000 lor a fight. Fighters' demands have not only reached a point where promoters are compelled to double admission charges, but Uncle Sam has been led to investigate. Further, some of the so-called purses made public are just efforts to try and fool the public. The public has been fooled long enough and is now wise to the fact that the large purses are more or less mythical. On the other hand, the Jack Dempseys, the Carpentlers and other who are said to get fabulous amount must show the exact amount receive!. There is no question but that Dump. sey gets large amounts for his fight!', but whether the amount is as publicly stateil Uncle Sam will very soon dit tas. but the exact amount was never announced. None of the taxes wi.l cover. F.lhri-reld Still Playing the Gr.me.
