October 29. 1921. and the second game at Corvallis, October 28. 1922. Stanford was reluctant at first to enter Into a two-year agreement with the Oregon Aggies but when Richard son conferred personally wlt,h Athletic jjirector foweii and Graduate Man ager Fletcher on his recent trip to California they agreed to the con tract. The contracts were received here yesterday and after being signed were returned to Stanford. The signing of Stanford for a trame 1 at Corvallis in 1922 gives the Aggies I two big conference games at Corval lis next year.

GREGORT. , THERE'S little doubt that the powers that govern baseball will act before another playing season to take some of the liveliness out of the present baseball," remarked Wil liam A. Rourke, for 23 years owner of the Omaha club of the Western league, from his seat In the Portland grandstand one day last week. Mr. Rourke sold his club not long ago and has been a visitor In Portland for -.wo or three weeks. "Nobody can tell me the baseball now in use Isn't livelier than formerly and get away with It. for I know pos itively that it is," continued Mr. Rourke. "I have been on several baseball purchasing committees in my own league in recent years, bo have gained some knowledge of their man ufacture. And early this summer I was in the office of President John son of the American league when be was investigating the lively ball. "The whole secret of the lively oall It not the rubber or cork center used but the tightness with which the wool yarn is wrapped. President Johnson had something like 100 baseballs cut In two and compared with baseballs previously used. There was no dif ference between them so far as the eye could determine. "But I recalled that at one time the Goldsmith ball, which our league used, was so lively we were having all kinds of trouble with it- Everybody was hitting and big score games like those so common this season, were the rule. The fans didn't like it and it was hurting attendance, so we took it up with the Goldsmith factory. They explained that their ball was lively because they wrapped the yarn tightly and they remedied this by giving the yarn a looser wrap. After that we had no trouble. "I told President Johnson of our experience and he called in a repre sentative of the Spalding factory who admitted that was the explanation of the liveliness of this year's ball. He said the factory was using Aus tralian wool, which took a tighter wrap than the kind formerly put in the ball. "Inflelders In the major leagues are so cowed by the lively ball that sooner than risk serious injury they let a hard chance go. The infields no longer play in to cut off a runner at the plate. They are afraid to, and the managers are with them. Small wonder. I saw the game at which Charley Hollocher, shortstop for the Chicago Cubs, was hit in the face by v bad hop that broke his nose. Shortly before that. Deal at third, was in jured the same way. Players on other clubs have been hurt. too. "The result has been to kill the most interesting feature of modern baseball, lightning fielding plays. Now and then you see a good fielding stunt, of course, but half the time the ball is hit so hard that it's past the in fielder before he can start after It. "And how much base running do you see nowadays?. Why, virtually none at all. The leading base stealer in the Pacific Coast league, I note, has a record of 33 stolen bases with the season only seven or eight weeks yet to go. Tet if I recall right. Jimmy Johnston, now with Brooklyn, made a base-stealing record while with San Francisco some years ago of more than 100 steals for the season. "There is the same lack of base stealing in the big leagues, and all the other leagues. Indeed, base-steal ing isn't very good baseball this year. It's an even bet that the batter will hit one a mile and eend the runner around anyhow, so why take a chance on stealing? ffig Dining Tables $28.00 Here is a feature value for the opening day of this great sale.

Coach Ruth erford will be ably assisted by As sistant Coaches Rathbun, Hubbard and Hager. Mike Butler, the Aggies' trainer. Is already on the Job and promises to have the athletes in the "pink" for each game. Butler's work at O. A. C. has been commendable, both as track coach and trainer of all teams. Record frond F.iprctrd. Richardson has been advised that the highway from, Portland to Cor vallis, with the exception of the road from Albany to Corvallis, which is good gravel, will be all paved by the time of the opening conference game here with Washington. Saturday, Oc tober 22. With special trains out of Portland and paved roads Richardson looks for one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a Washington team in action in this state. It will be Washington's first ap pearance on a Corvallis gridiron, and also marks the debut of Coach Enoch Bagshaw in a Pacific coast conference game. Darwin Meisnest, Washing ton's graduate manager, advised Rich ardson in Portland last week that he plans to bring a trainload of Wash ington rooters to the game at Cor vallis. The O. A. C. stadium will accommo date almost 1Q.000 persons under cover and has room for about 4000 more on bleachers.

Ave. Mr. Rourke was for many years a long time ago. He played his last tame in 1896.. Then ne became a bench manager, but he quit that. too. in 1911. Since then he has been doing his managing from the grandstand. He has reason to know Marty Krug very well because Marty managed his Omaha club three seasons, and won a pennant for him in 1916. Marty, he says, is a great ballplayer and a smart ballplayer, which isn't news, after all. The duration of Mr. Rourke's stay in Portland has caused speculation as to the possibility of his making a bid for the club. He is noncommittal on that subject says he is retired from baseball and just In Portland "look ing around, taking a rest, and enjoy ing the wonderful climate, which I like so well on first acquaintance that I don't like to leave it." But you never can tell. him a hard-p'tched game. Herm has a wonderful disposition. And take it from us. he has the stuff, too. Play ers on other clubs say he has more than any pitcher In' the league. Some of the fans have been won dering why Umpire Croter hasn't taken his turn at balls and strikes in the Sacramento series and why he keeps his right hand folded across his chest, supported between the but tons of his coat. He keeps it there because the doctors have ordered him to, for Croter has been umpiring all week with a broken shoulder blade. When he was in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago a foul tip caught him on the shoulder. He noticed his shoulder was feeling mighty sore, especially when he raised his arm to Indicate strikes. Then another foul tip caught him in the same spot, and his shoulder hurt so much that he consulted a doctor. The doctor dis covered that the shoulder blade had been cracked and the cartilages badly torn and advised him to lay off for while. But Bill didn't take the advice. In the very next series, at San Francisco, two more foul tips caught him in the same place. When he cam to Portland this week his shoulder was paining him so he couldn't Bleep at night. Last Wednesday an .x-ray showed that the cartilage had been torn completely loose and that there was a wide break In tne shoulder blade. Croter was told that if he wamted to have the use of his shoul der again he would have to give it a chance to heal. That's why he is umpiring on the bases while Byron calls balls and strikes, and also why he wears his arm between his. coal buttons. A hot race is on between Pick and McGaffigan of Sacramento and Lane of Seattle for stolen-base honors. Mc Gaffigan Is f,irst with 34, Pick second with 33 and Lane has 32. Pick de Clares he will be the leading base stealer at the end of the season or California and Washington State Chief Opponents. IDAHOANS TO PLAY HERE Two Post-Season Contests Will Bo Held In Hawaii; "Wisconsin Game Is Called Off. TJNIVERSITT OP OREGON, Eu gene, Or, Aug. 13. (Special.) With the 1921 grid season bringing four big games on the Oregon schedule, not to mention the two post-season games in the Hawaiian Islands and tentative clashes with the Multnomah club and Willamette university. Coach Shy Huntington and his assist ants have a real task before them to whip the eleven Into shape. Idaho furnishes the curtain raiser with the lemon-yellow eleven. Coach Kelleys gem-staters being booked to meet the webfooters October 15 in Port land, a bare two weeks after the opening of school on the Oregon, cam pus. But the week following the elasii with the Idaho gridsters will mark the big struggle of the season for Coach Huntington's proteges. En training Wednesday following the game in Portland, they go to Berkeley to meet California, the first meeting between these ancient rivals for many years. The fact that California has the edge on the early fall training season is not worrying Coach Hunt ington. 'Shy- says he has wished for a chance at Andy Smith's eleven for a long time. In spite of the short bust, and McGaffigan says the same, j period for practice and whipping the Ray French, "Vernon shortstop, probably is the most improved ball player in the coast league," remarks Bob Cronin in the Seattle Times. "Last year, when Seattle turned him over to Des Moines, he was anything but satisfied. But French went will ingly. A short time after that Bob Connery. Yankee scout, drifted into Des Moinrs and lamped French in action. Bob closed a deal for him and sent him to the Yankees, where French remained until a few months ago. when the Yanks sent him to Vernon. . . . "It was quite a joke in local base ball circles when Vernon obtained French, for everybody imagined he was the same kind of a player he was with Seattle. Few fans gave him credit for being a Class AA ballplayer. However, the laugh is on the local crowd, for French has easily been the fielding star of the Vernon club. He plays short in very snappy fashion and looks as good as any shortstop in the league with the exception of Caveney." In consequence these two have been running hog wild on the bases this week in their effort to grab off an other steal or two for their records. Every time one of them reaches first it's almost a certainty that he will try to go down, whether two are out. one is out or none is out So far McGaffigan is the only one who has been having any luck here. By stealing two bases in the Portland series he has gained the leadership with 34 pilfers. He has also been thrown out twice. In the first game yesterday he stole second with one down, only to be picked off by Gus Fisher when he broke for third. Pick has had no luck at all against Gus. though he has tried five times, including two attempted double steals. Friday h tried to steal home single handed, but was nailed prettily, Plum mer to Fisher. And yesterday he was caught a mile off third. Fisher to Ginglardi to F -iher. He also tried to steal second once with no one out, but was tossed out with ease. Immediate ly afterward Buddy Ryan came across with a two-bagger that would have scored him. Pick Is so set on running up a base stealing mark for himself that he crabs bitterly if the official scorer gives .n infielder an error for drop ping a throw to catch him, no matter how far he would have been caught off. In Tuesday's game he tried to steal in the first with one out etnd Fisher's perfect throw to Grantham had him by 'ten feet. Grantham dropped the throw after having it right in his hands and would be the last person in the world to say he didn't have an error coming, yet it took Pick two days to get over it be cause he wasn't credited with a steal If that was a steal, then a foul over the bleachers should go as a home run.

Since the deal fell through whereby Detroit was to send Suds Sutherland and Harold Brooks (Vernon Parks) to the Beavers for the services of Herman Plllette next season, half a dozen clubs have been angling for the big pitcher who has hurled such fine ball for a losing club. Among others the Boston Braves, New York mnt. Detroit Tigers and cnicago Cubs all want him. and now Joe Engel. ex-pitcher and present scout for the Washington club. Is here to look at him. Engel also is inter ested in Syl Johnson, of whom the same Seattle writer recently re marked: "This youth Is a real comer. He has everything a young fellow break ing in ought to have. All he needs is to be with a winning club and he'd be a sensation in the circuit." Another year In the coast league would be to Syl's advantage, but big Herm is ripe for the picking.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13. Clarence Twombley. who has been alternating between playing the outfield for the Cubs and acting as premier pinch hitter, is closing the gap between himself and Roger Hornsby the St. Louis star, for batting honors in the National league. He has added five points to Ins batting average and is the runner-up to Hornsby with an average of .375. Hornsby dropped five points, but continues to top the list with an average of .410. Pep Young of New York is third with .360. George Kelly of the Giants cracked out his 19th home run during the past week. His closest rivals are Hornsby and McHenry of St. Louis, each of whom have 15. Frisch of New York stole three bases 'Since the compilation of the previous figures and leads the base- atealers with 34 thefts. Hornsby broke the tie which he shared with Frisch for runs scored and is leading this department. He has registered S9 times. Other leading batters: Cutshaw, Pittsburg. .351; McHenry, St. Louis, .346; Nicholson. Boston, .346; Cruise, Boston, .342; Roush, Cincinnati, .339; Fournier. St. Louis, .338; Meusel, New York, .335; Mann. St. Louis, .335; Schmandt, Brooklyn, 335. Babe Ruth, home run king, is 14 days ahead of his 1920 circuit drive record. The Yankee slugger crashed out his 44th home run in the game between New York and the Athletics Friday. Harry Hellmann, Detroit, slugging outfielder, struck a slump in his batting and his average went from .423 to .417. Ty Cobb, his manager, who is the runner-up, also slumped, his mark being .387. Tobin of St. Louis moved up to third position with an average of .373, with Ruth next with .369, two points In front of Trls Speaker, who dropped from third place. Speaker's mark is .367. S. Harris of Washington failed to add to his string of stolen bases and leads with 20. Other leading batters: FlagstearJ, Cleveland, .358; Sisler. St. Louis, .356; Williams.

October 29 is so far an open date for the Oregon squad and it no doubt will be kept open, as the two games pre ceding it will probably put the Eu gene boys through a hard grilling and the rest will benefit them. On No vember 5 Huntington will take his squad to Pullman to play Coach Welch's Cougars in the first battle ' between the elevens In two years. Washington State is reported to be one of the strongest teams on the coast this year. This will be the " homecoming game for the Cougars. Tram Will Rest. Oregon will have two weeks of rest before the annual homecoming battle with O. A- C, November 1. with November 12 an open date. O. A. C. and Oregon battled to a scoreless tie on the Aggie gridiron last year. Brth teams are reported stronger this year than last. Both Oregon and O. A. C. Introduced spring practice in the few months of the spring term and worked their squads hard, and a number of good looking prospects turned out. Oregon's fresh man team was considered stronger than the Aggies rook squad last fall and for this reason Huntington can look for more aid from the green men than Rutherford can expect. Oregon gets the real jaunt of the season this year, when the lemon yellow varsity, 18 players strong, will depart for the Hawaiian islands on December 10, to return a month later after playing two games in the islands. The first game ia scheduled for December 24 against the Univer sity of Hawaii at Honolulu. Th. sec ond will be played January 2 with the "All-Stars" of the Island, also at Honolulu. Wisconsin Game Cancelled. Although Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, wants to schedule a game for "the Oregon eleven on December 3, his efforts so far have been in vain. Negotiations were carried on with Wisconsin for several months, the consent of the coach and the ath letic council of that institution hav ing been gained to let the Wisconsin eleven come to Portland to play Ore gon on that date, but the faculty opposition called it off. Oregon then began negotiations with the Univer sity of Washington for a post season game but it is doubtful whether this can be arranged. Washington has no game scheduled after Thanksgiving. Brick Mitchell and Bart Spellman, both members of the famous 1916 team of Oregon and rated on the all ccast mythical eleven for two years, will assist Huntington at Eugene this fall. Mitchell has been coaching at Stanford and at the Olympic club for the past two years. He helped whip the Oregon ends into shape for the big clash with Harvard in 1919. He Is regarded as one of the best ends on the coast. Spellman has assisted Huntington as line coach for the past two years and will be back In the harness at the opening of the train ing season this year. Bill Hayward will be on band as usual to condition the men. Four Places-Hard to Fill. Bill Steers, Brick Leslie, Fat Mautx and Nish Chapman are four regulars who will not be on hand with the Oregon eleven this year. Filling these places will be the hardeBt tast before Huntington and his assistants. Steers and Chapman are backfleld men. Steers played quarter and Chapman at half, so the positions are made even harder to replace. Brick Leslie has been Oregon's mainstay at center for the past three years and Mautz made the mythical all-coast team for two years and has played on the'varslty for the past three sea- sons at guard. These four positions probably will all be filled from the freshmen eleven of last year, although Bill Relnhart may be switched from half to quarter. Bark Laughlin. who has been battlLng for center against Leslie for the past two seasons and who has been Hunt ington's star utility man for the posi tion, will battle It out agaisnt Bill. Johnson. an ex-Washington high school lad. whose freshman work last year won him praise. Then for Mautx position the contenders will probably be Byler and Floyd Shields. Byler is a husky who made good on the. frosh last fall, while Shields was utility at guard last season for the varsity. Chapman's place at half will be fought for by several freshmen Charlie Parsons, Ward Johnson. Ken neth Burton and Hal Chapman, a brother of "Nish." all of whom starred for the frosh. Huntington may shift Tiny Shields from his line position to the backfleld.
