Representative Coast Team to Be
Selected Two Weeks After
Thanksgiving.
SAX FRANCISO, Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) An east versus west game
will be played on New Tear's day,
according to a unanimous vote of
the conference of representatives
held this morning at Berkeley. Just
where th game will be played,
whether at Pasadena, the Stanford
stadium or Bxposltion park, head
quarters of the University of South-
, ern California, has not been decide
nd possibly will not be decided
until the conference meeting that
is to take place in Portland, Or.,
next December.
No definite promise was held out
to the Pasadena tournament, of
roses committee, although Pasa
dena submitted a working1 basis
proposition and the conference coun
tered with another proposition in
volving other issues. Stanford ia
atlll anxious to have such a game
played at the Stanford stadium.
There is a general feeling on the
part of Stanford, as well as Cali
fornia, that a game on the home
stadium would be preferable, since
the northwest colleges could not
play at home so late in the year.
They are quit willing to go to ,
Pasadena. f
It was the vote of the conference
that a "representative Pacific coast
football team" be selected by tele
graph vote. This vote Is to be taken
two weeks after Thanksgiving. It
is pointed out that the team so se
lected will not necessarily be th
championship team of the Pacific
coast, but the one that In the minds
of the majority should be named to
represent the west. The manner of
naming the eastern team was not
even discussed.
It was the consensus of opinion
that all details with regard to han
dling such a game must be taken
over entirely by conference and
that outsiders will not be permitted
to have anything to say. The matter
of limiting; the salaries to be paid
conference football coaches was
brought up. but action on this point
was passed until the next session,
for which no date has been fixed.

Exhibition as to How Thriller of
Thrillers In Played Is' to Be
Madein "Portland.
Two of the best lacrosse teams
In British Columbia . will be im
ported here next Sunday to give
Portlanders an idea as to how one
of the most thrilling' of all sports
is played.' The grame- will take
place at the ball park and the start
ing time will be 2 o'clock.
The teams will be the Victoria
and Vancouver tens of the British
Columbia lacrosse association and
it will not be Just an exhibition! but
a reg-tilarly scheduled game. More
than that the championship of the
association depends on it. It will
wind up the season for both teams
and the one that wins will be cham
pion. Only half a game separates
them, Vancouver having that lead,
although Victoria was champion
last year.
Both are amateur teams, and the
players are' making this trip miflnly
to Introduce the sport in Portland.
Lacrosse can almost be called the
national sport of Canada, and the
favorites in Vancouver and Victoria
are the amateur teams, not the pro
fessionals. The amateurs have been
playing much better baLl this year
than the professionals and have
been outdrawlngr them all through
the season.
Lacrosse is a real man's game and
no half-hearted players need apply.
It is Just about as fast as Ice hockey,
and the principle of the game is the
same, the implement of play being
a hard rubber ball that is shot
through the air by the players,
armed with clubs that have nets on
the end. Just as with the puck in
Ice hockey, the ball must be shot
Into a coal at the end of the field
to- count a point, and there Is a
goal tender, as in the Ice game.

EATTLE, Wash., Aug. 12 (Spe
cial.) Two 'old battery mates.
Al Demaree and Jack Adams,
will be pitted against each other
;his next week, when Portland and
Seattle hook up on the Indian lot.
When Seattle shipped Al to the
western league last fall, Adams was
one of those who spoke as follows:
"Somebody is making a mistake.
One of the smartest guys in baseball
is Demaree; we ought to keep him
around."
. Well. Bill Klepper brought . the
former major league star back to
manage his club, and the old boy
stepped out with two victories in a
tow. proving that Adams was rigm
Demaree can pitch better with his
head than a lot of our high-prized
youngsters can with their arms.
Yep, the Indians are expecting trou
ble from Demaree when the veteran
brings his battler north this com
ing week.
Seattle will be somewhat crippled
In that Deacon John will be among
the missing. Adams was badly hurt
at third base in a game against the
Oaks, and It will be ten days be
fore he Is able to catch. The skipper
will manage the club trom the
bench, however so the club will
get the advantage of his strategy
jtuff.
Ferdy Schupp, the new southpaw
from Chicago', will face the Beavers
:n the coming aeries. Ferdy arrived
Thursday and pronounced himself
n the best of trim. Schupp won five
cames and lost cne with Kansas
City this week, and he won four out
cf ten for the white sox. jack
Adams played against the famous
routhpaw when he was in his prime
t.nd John thinks his new acquisiion
will win in this league.
Armistice day. 1922. will be a red
letter day on the Washington foot
ball calendar. The University of Cal
ifornia will be here to oppose Bag
shaw's huskies on that occasion.
Already the grid fans are chatter
ing about this big battle.
There Is a feeling going the
rounds that the Bears are going to
lose at least one game this year.

hoping that the Armistice affair is
the one the forces of Andy Smith

men of the northwest.
' When the KeatHA ' praft vnt
south a couple of weeks ago to
compete in the southern California I
regatta many of the racing btigs
were skeptical about the Sir Tom's'
chances. Geary's pride and Joy has 1
been the big thing in racing circles I
here since she was built. But in j
both San Francisco and Los Ange-
les, the yacht clubs have been gun- j
ning for Geary and his champion, j
the best architects assisting in de-
signing boats to compete against J
the Seattle craft.
Well. Geary . went , down and
showed 'em. He won the first three
races handily, taking the final
event Thursday after giving the
rest of the field a four-minute start.
Geary slipped over the starting line
ten feet ahead of the gun and had
to turn around and start all over
again. But the Thomas buzzed
right along, caught up with the
rest of the boats and sailed down
the home stretch all by herself. A
great little ship is the Sir Tom and
a great little skipper ia Ted Geary.
Jim Boldt is out of luck like a
clam digger on a marble hallway.
Jim's prize southpaw. Lefty Burger,
has been going like a focest fire
all spring. The Pittsburg Pirates,
being in need of pitching talent,
sent Bill Hlnchman all the way out
from Smoky town to see Burger
work.
Lefty started against Vernon.
What the Tigers did to him was
a-plenty. - They rapped him for 15
or, 18 hits and Lefty was lucky to
escape with his life.
Then Bill stayed over for another
look. Seattle started Burger again.
This time the Seattle prize looked I
no better, Adams taking him out in
the ninth when the Oaks got two
runs , off him and had the tieing
marKer on imra rjase.
Bill is still sticking around, but
Jim Boldt is" mourning his bad -fortune.
Unless Burger bobs up with
a no-hit game or something Pitts
burg is not likely to dig up any
large sum for Burger's services.
Washington rbwing fans are won
dering who their next coach will be.
The field has narrowed to four
men Elmer Leader, brother of the
former tutor; Ward Kumm. "Rusty"
Callow and- Brous Beck. Kumm is
thought to have the lead, although
the other three men have their
friends. Brous Beck, an old Wash

the .crew for nothing, but it's
thought the university authorities
will not take advantage of the offer.

lacks invectives to apply to the fel

This Jakie fellow beat the Beavers
out of a sensational' a ball game
yesterday as ever was played. He
wrecked a perfect afternoon by his
confounded . pitching in the pinch
He Jumped ice cold in the 11th
inning into a contest that was as
good as gone for the Tigers, saved
it for them in that session, helped
smear , three Tiger runs across in
their half of the 12th and then in
the Beaver half, after three hands
were on and only one down, held
the home boys to two tallies, one
shy of tying it up.
- Dick Cox Fanned.
He went so far as to anti-climax
a thundering finish by fanning Dick
Cox for the third out. He maneu
vered Lefty Leverenz into the
toughest hard-luck licking that
pitcher ever took. Today he grabs
even the headlines that Leverenz
should have had. Down with the

4, in 12 innings, but the score was
a minor particular in that game
The big fact was that the Beavers
lost when they had it won, mainly
because of the stupendous pitching
i of smaI1 Jake. To lose such a Strug
by , one run was worse than
! dropping it by oO. Two were on
bases when Cox whiffed.
The situation leading to these re
marks was this: The score at the
opening of the Portland half of the
11th was 2 to 2. The Tigers had
made two in the first on three suc
cessive scratch hits after two were
out and Leverenz,' backed by won
derful support, had blanRed them
thereafter for ten successive innings.
The Beavers had made one off Dell
in the second on Poole's double and
a single by Brazil', and had tied it
in the eighth when Charley High
pinch-hitting for McCann, knocked
the ball over the right field fence
Dell Is Removed.
And: now in the 11th good old Lev
erenz, first ' man up, had singled,
taken second on a wild throw to
first by Dell, and. actually had stolen
third, all with none out. Only one
run. was needed to win the ball
game, there were three chances to
bat ft in, and Gressett, a left-hand
ed hitter, was pawing at the plate
Dell had one strike on him and two
balls as Leverenz stole third.
Bill Essick called time, removed
Dell and sent in Southpaw Jakie
May. That managerial hunch of
Bill's was the break of the day.
Jakie began curving at Gressett
over . the outside corner. Two
strikes." Then a ball, making three
balls. Then a round-house hook
and Gressett whiffed. Wolfer, an
other left-handed batter, was com
ing up, but Al Demaree lifted him
and sent in Hale, who bats right
handed. Jakie immediately and expedi
tiously . walked Hale on purpose
with four pitched balls. That
brought Dick Cox up and Dick is a
right-handed batter. Jakie deliber
ately walked Cox, too, which filled
the bases, with two out. only one
run needed to win, and Jimmy Poole
at bat. The crowd shouted for a
long fly and Jimmy lifted one all
right, but it was a pop-up that
Chadbpurne, play Ing close to cut off

fr Leverenz to score, so he held
his base. Brazill, a third left-handed
batter, was facing May, and him
Jakie coolly, nonchalantly whiffed

May Bants Safely,
Then the Beavers cracked. French
led off by bunting and reached first
when Leverenz' throw hit him. KI1;-
ott had him off first by a mile, but
threw wild, and he went to second.
Murphy slashed a bouncer that Sar
gent couldn't, handle. Jakie May
came up to sacrifice and bunted
safely. Chadbourne' hit perfectly
to Paton for an out at the plate, but
his throw was too. wide for Elliott
to hold and French and Murphy
scored. Leverenz muffed a thrown
ball and Chad took second. Schneider
walked. Smith flied to Cox for the
first out, but it took Bodie's long
sacrifice fly to tally May with the
third run. Locker lined to Cox and
ended a terr'ble inning.
But with a three-run lead against
them, did the Beavers quit? They
did not. Sargent started by gaining
first on a walk. Paton whiffed, but
French erred on Elliott's roller and
Rip King, the third Portland pincher
of the day, smashed safe across sec
ond and filled the bases. Gressett
was up, but helpless against South
paw Jake, so Demaree, seeking an
other right-handed pinch hitter,
brought out Jimmy Middleton. And
Jimmy delivered. His smash to right
tallied Sargent. Hale forced Middle
ton, but Elliott scored and King
made third. It was up to Dick Cox.
Jakie threw low curves at him until
he succumbed and it was all over.
Mtorm Stops Second Game.
A second game was started, but

DAVIS TENNIS PIAY WAITS
French and Australians Go to
Movies or Nurse Ailments.
BOSTON, Aug. 12. Instead of
fighting out their struggle for Davis
cup preliminary honors, the tennis
teams of Australia and France went
to the movies or nursed ailments
today. The postponement until Mon
day, because of rain, of the two
singles matches that remain of the
tournament in which the Australians
lead by one match, was satisfactory
to both.
With the respite that came with
the rain, the Australians expected to
be in better shape. In Patterson's
case especially, the rest should bring
him on to the courts Monday fit for
play. Should O'Hara Wood's trouble
become seriously worse, it was pos
sible, the Australian captain said,
that Anderson might be able to re
place him, returning to the assign?
ment which O'Hara Wood took over
after Anderson's eleventh-hour ill
ness developed on Thursday.
The Frenchmen were in fine fet-
tie. but concurred readily m tna
postponement.
