BECK AND HAMBY WIN AT MING Senner and Vigneux Bowled Over in Match Game at Portland Alleys. CHARLIE SHIELDS UMPIRED CONTEST Browns' Third Baseman Makes Best Average in Knocking Down Pins. Che match tm between Erve Beck and "Doo" Hamby against Bam Vigneux and Con Senner was won by the former in a close and exciting finish last even ing at the Portland alleys. Vigneux and Senner won the first two games, but Beck's consistent bowling, a "dose" de cision by Umpire Shields, and Doe Hamby'e 100 score, gay the winners a lead of 11 pins. Vigneux and Banner won the first two games by the narrow margin of 11 and 12 pins respectively. In the third game Sammy Vigneux started off as though he were after the alley record, but as he started hla bowl of his fourth frame, Vmplre Shields called a foul, and as he had scored a strike, and on his spare ball was only able to get eight pins, the decision cost Sammy 61 points, and visions of Bandy McDermott, Chauncey Fisher. Rube Levy, Jack Huston and others of their Ilk. with whom the chagrined bowler compared the unas suming Charles. On account of this misfortune, and the closeness of ths scores, Messrs. Vigneux and Benner are still Imbued with the idea that they can down the foxy "Doc" and the doughty ball tosser, and have challenged for a return game, which will be played off on next Monday evening. Charlea Shields, after slight opposition on the part of Vigneux, was chosen again as referee. Erve Beck carried off the honors last night by making the highest total score, averaging 181 1-3 to the game.

BARNEY TAKES GREAT CARE OF MACHINE Handles His Green Dragon with Care and Consideration. (Journal Special Bertie ) Ban Francisco, Deo. 10. Barney Old field's racing car, the peerless "Green Dragon," la unlike the usual touring car seen on the streets of Ban Francisco. In fact, there Is no similarity to the ord inary machine. It Is a tow, rakish af fair, with the fly wheel less than three Inches from the ground, and has but one seat, located at the extreme left of the vehicle In order to balance the machine when going around the turns at the rata of 90 miles an hour. A bonnet of green that resembles a boat upside down and with a prow to cut the wind gives It an odd appearance. This prow comes to a peak and gives the least possible resist ance to the wind This Is a picture of the "Green Dragon" as nearly as It can be painted In words. The death-dealing car is nursed along as a baby would be cared for. Before every meet and often between trials the tires are changed. A complete set of wheels and special parts are also carted about the country, and frequent changee are made after the morning tests that precede every race. The slightest de fect Is remedied at once In order to guard against accident. A special fuel Is utilised and is shipped ahead to the towns to be visited. It Is found to be more uniform and a better speed pro ducer than the ordinary fuel. Breaking records is a serious business, snd not the slightest point may be overlooked. Oldfleld aaya there la practically no limit to the apeed that max be obtained with the "Green Dragon." On circular tracka a cloae watch muat be kept or the front wheels leave the ground at the turns and the ateerlng apparatua be comes of no uae; result a amash Into the fence. But on the straight course at Daytona next winter he expects to do a full mile in 88 seconds. Tomorrow at Ingleelde he fully anticlpatea doing a turn of the track In 66 aeconds or bet ter, which Is surely moving some and must be seen to be appreciated.

Taking advantage of the continued mild weather, Stanford athletes are working put on track and field every afternoon. Trainer Moulton Is devoting particular atten tlon to trying out hla new men on the track. Several freshmen are showing 'varsity form, but the most talked of yearling athlete now In the college eye aa a strong possibility Is Horton, the big tawny-halred lad from Uklah. who played right guard on the 1908 freahman team. BJnrton. like big Jim Weller, Is a versatile strong man, being proficient in weight and track events as well aa on the gridiron. He will be the beat ahot putter Stanford will possess next se mester, after Hyde has passed into the class of lnellglbles. and the freshman is showing such form in this line that he may even eclipse the big Stanford rec ordholder In the shot-putting event. Furthermore, he is a hurdler of rare ability snd will nicely fill the gap left by H. Lanagan's departure from college. Cope, the crack sprinter from the Lick high school, who. Joined the cardinal forces this yea r. is just now suffering a bad strain In his left leg and haa had to leave off training. The Injury la a serious one and may keep him off the track for a whole year. His loss would be a great disappointment to Stanford partisans, as he waa heralded as one of the finds of the year and proved in re cent tryouts that his worth waa not overestimated.

Coach Tost haa Issued the following state ment In regard to the probability of a victory for Michigan over an esstern football eleven: "I wttneaaed the Tale-Harvard game at New Haven. It waa a game devoid of anything sensational, and. In fact, was Just the opposite. In the first place, ths playing of both teama was very slow. "It seemed to be a game of pushball. The punting was not good. Tale punted eleven times for an average of 83 yards, and Harvard punted 14 times for an average of SS yards. This Is counting kick-offs. "In our game we kicked five times for an average of SI yards and we thought that very poor. Chicago's average was over 60 yards. During the game the ball was fumbled IS times, five by Tale and aeven by Harvard. "The atyle of game shown by Tsle and Harvard Is not nearly so Interesting as the games played In tin west There is not near the dash and go to it. "From what I have seen already of the game as played In the east, I would be confident of a victory for Michigan were it to . meet an eastern eleven."

HERRIMAN'S SNAPSHOTS OF BATTLING NELSON AFTER HE HAD DEFEATED YOUNG CORBETT. NO BASKETBALL TEAM FOR OREGON 'VARSITY Students at Eugene Will Not Take Up ths Game This Year. (Special nispateh to Ths Joaroal.) University of Oregon. Eugene, Dec. 10. While ail the other colleges of the state have basketball teams, snd a num ber of them have written to the uni versity asking for games, but it Is not likely that the stste university will put out a basketball team thla year. Thla Is the way It looks at the present, and unless something la done very soon the season will be so fsr advanced that It will be almost useless to get a team In shape. One reason for the lack of in terest in basketball Is the reason that the university does not recognise the sport and the big "O" is not awarded for games played against other colleges. This takes something of the Interest away from the sport, ss the college emblem Is something for some of the men to work for. Then again, the foot ball season is Just ended and a number of the football men are good basketball players, but their studies are somewhat behind and they do not care to devote any more time to athletics. The game la being played though in the gym nasium every day by an unorganised aet of players for the exercise. Washington Agricultural college snd the Ashland Normal achool both Intend to make trips with basketball teama through the val ley this fall, and have written for games. As there Is no manager for this game nothing definite can be stated ss to what action the athletic council will take about the matter. No captain tnn yet been elected for the football team of next year. Man ager Graham will probably call the men together for thla purpose next week. Latourette and Kerron have the beat chances for the position, but there Is little effort to boost any one man for the place. Both the men mentioned be long to opposing fraternities, but there is no strlfs for the position in this re spect. This year Oregon will be represented by the strongest snd cleverest Olea and Mandolin club In its history. I'nder the direction of Professor I. M. Olenn the men have developed wonderfully and the repetolre of rollicking college songs, features snd stunts equal anything that has been seen along this line in years past. The club leaves for the holiday trip on Friday the llth, and will sing In Portland. Astoria and all the towns of any sice In esstern Oregon and Washington. BEAT M'GINNITY'S RECORD YEARS AGO The proud boast made by the friends of Joe MoOlnnlty, of having made the greatest pitching record ever credited to 'a t wirier when ha pitched snd won two double-headers In the same weak. Is discounted by a performance that Jack Harper, the Reds lesdlng twlrler. made when he was with the fort Wsyne, Ind.. team In 100. Jsck wss a farm hand that year, having been triad out by St. Louis In the spring, and sent bsck to Fort Wsyne to get a- little better sc qualnted with the waya of the world and of hall playing before he again es sayed to perform in high society. Well, It came near the end of the season and Ft. Wayne was In sore need of vic tories. There were two other twirlers on the Fort Wsyne team beside Hsrper, one of them being Cy Swalm. the tall school master, who ones aroused audlencea all over the circuit as a member of the Waahlngton team. During this quest for victories the third pitcher of the team was taken III end Harper promised to pitch his game for him. too. So It came about that there was a double-header in which Harper and 'the sick man were slated to perform. Harper pitched the first game and won. The second game had been allotted to the sick man. and Harper, ss his under study. pitched that, too, and won it. The next day it waa Swalm'a turn to go on the rubber. In the first Inning two long hlta were made off him for a starter, and he walked out of the box declaring that he a.mply could not stand the strain of being hammered all over the lot. There being no other pitcher. Harper again waa ssked to go In, snd did, winning that game also, establishing a record of pitching end capturing three gamea In two daya. which la a better record than McQInnlty ever made.

COACH WRIGHTINGTON BLAMED FOR TROUBLE Negro States that He Was Used as a Tackling Dummy by the Coach. The wild rumor that the Matthews In cident In tha Yale-Harvard game win cause a break in the athletic relations between Yale and Harvard has been de nied, but Matthews Is still a subject for all kinds of stories In the New England press. For Instance, tha Boston Trav eler yesterday aald: "So many stories have been circu lated about his connection with the foot ball squad thla fail that perhaps tha public will relish a recital of tha facta. "Why did not Matthews report for practice earlier In the season? This is the question on which tha whole Mat thews controversy hinges ." This is Coach Wrlghtlngton's reason as promulgated In a signed statement: "In aptte of a canvass by tha card system of all the men In college, there were two men whom we ought to have had out earlier. One of these waa Matthews, who was under such a pres sure of college work that he begged me not to Insist on his coming out un less absolutely necessary. The work of the ends In the Penn game showed tha necessity of his Joining the team, but I should not have waited." Black man begged Master, according to Wrightlngton, not to insist on hla coming out on account of pressure of overwork. Now ' what Is tha true reasont Thla It Is: Matthews did not report for football practice because he did not believe that he would get a fair chance to make tha team. Thla la a conversation between Mat thews, the plucky black boy, and an un dergraduate Juat after the beginning of practice on Soldiers' field this fall: "Why haven't I seen you out for prac tice. Matty?" Inquired the student , "Becauae there la no earthly show of my making the team. "I refuse to stand up there afternoon after afternoon and be hammered black and blue by the society boys." "You don't mean to tell me, Matty, that the coachea won't give you a fair ahow to make the team, do you?" "I mean to say that I have been out after a place on the eleven since Bill Reid coached In 1901. but every time there waa a game the coaches shoved me aside and tried out some one else. "1 would not have minded It If they had given me a trial In a game. I will not coma out to be banged to pieces again." This Is the gist of talk that Mat thews had with a Harvard man. While it is not his language word for word his Ideas and sentiments are faithfully reproduced. Will Matty Matthews deny that ha said this? Will he plsce himself in the unenvia ble position of Walter Randall? Walter Randall quarraled with Coach Wrightlngton In the locker room so vio lently that Harvard men had to step be tween them to prevent a rough and tum ble fight. He published a denial In the Boston newspapers in which he stated flatly and unequivocally that he never had any trouble with Wrightlngton of any name or nature After working over Randall for three) days the coaches forced and cajoled him Into signing his name to a lying statement and then allowing It to bo published under the gulae of truth. Thla waa done for the honor of fair Harvard. Will Matthewa emulate the example of the captain of the baseball team and Issue a. statement which he knowaAo be false Harvard men believe that Matthewa la boy of honor and Integrity, and that any Buch conduct would be beneath him. The burden of Matthews' cry. when he unbosomed his wrongs, was thst he and Jones the negro had coma out fslth fully for three years, but that they were used as tacktlng machines and padded dummies, and then thrust aside. He waa not at all bitter about his treat ment but refused to be bruised up again with no hope of reward. By tha way, why haan't Jonea. who played substitute tackle on Coach Retd'a eleven three years ago. bean heard from? . Substitutes usually improve from year to year, and eventuslly make the versify. Some of ths students believa that Jones has not been given a square 'curiously enough. Randall and Mat thews, the principals in the two most sensational incidents of the year, met at New Haven before 65.000 people. Tha negro ordered the hot-headed south erner out of the game. There waa a storm of disapproval from the stands. Some of the newspapers said that Wrightlngton did it to humiliate Randall for calling him down for playing fav orltea Mr. Wrlghtlngton's motives are not a part of thla easay. Yale Indignantly denies thst Mat thews will disrupt the relations between the blue and the crlmaon. Tale's denial becomes a bit far-fetching when ahe attempts to say that tha blue players did not rough Matthewa They put him out of business before he had played one half. 1TWTOI ( Journal Special Verlce Is Angeles, Dec. 10 Doc Newton proved too much for tha Tigers yester day, snd as hla team mates found Thomas conveniently, the big southpaw won his game.
