Company B" has three games to play, one each with Columbia, Gor fcam and Vancouver, and the Spaidings play once with Gorham and once with DUwortha, Should the Spaidings lose their remaining two games and Dll worth and Company "B" should win the rest of their , games, a three cornered tie between these teams would result Tans Soot for Tie. Ths Is not likely to happen, however, as th Spaidings have been going strong all season and It will be hard to make them drop two games, although It is 'a well known fact that they have two of .the hardest Clubs in the league to cope with. At any rate, the fans would like i to see a tloup, and the players from the other teams will be out strong next Sunday to root against the Spaidings and a redhot exhibition should result, as the latter are a scrappy lot. The Derbies started strong yesterday . and it looked like another easy victory, r but In the sixth inning' things were Started when Fred West of "B" com pany planted a home run over the field ers' heads and scored two men ahead tot bint. This olout seemed to unnerve the Derbies and the militia boys scored their seven runs in. the sixth and sev enth Innings. In the meantime Backus wart twirling a steady game and the Dllworths were unable to score. Pat McHale relieved McKenzle in the sev enth canto and held "B" company safe for the last few Innings. "Red" Rupert broke into the Indoor game, playing right field for Company "B." Red fielded his position in nice style, besides getting two nice bingles. The score: ' - - R.H. B.

The colder weather loealy has also caused a postponement of the tourna ment which was to have been played at Gearhnrt Park this week. While the golf players are enthusiastic over the prospect of playing on the ocean shore links, they feel that more of them would be able to 'go down to Gearhart If the tournament was postponed until some Friday and Saturday In March. At the meeting of the Golf club mem bers at the Portland hotel Saturday night, the following were elected direc tors, Jordan Zan withdrawing from the race' In favor of T. A.

What was scheduled to be a 10 round, boxing match between Private Courtney of C Company and Private Purnctl of K Company at the post gymnasium, Vancouver bar racks, Saturday night, terminated In the first round when Purnell. went down and was carried to his corner. He Was not injured and soon revived. Courtney is clever, and 1 la quicker and better trained than Purnell. Private Jenfiing of G Company, who recently won honors against "Bobby" Evans at the Auditorium in Vancouver, again showed his skill in boxing by de feating Kid Dale of Portland in the sec ond round of a four round contest Jen- ning employed his -former tactics, and had no difficulty in establishing that he was In a class above the Portland lad. They fought at 145 pounds. 'A four round bout between Private Anthony of B BaUery, Second field ar tillery, and Private Clark of the hospital corps, proved an Interesting event. Neither of the men had been in the ring before, and fast work was done. Clark Showed more lack, of training In com parison with his opponent, but stood up well and gave promise of a future in the prize ring. Bud Anderson and his sparring part ner gave a four round exhibition bout, which was enjoyed. Captain Aloe was referee of the boutsj and Lieutenant Mitchell was timekeeper. The athletic events at the poet are given under the direction of Captain M. C. Reasoner of the hospital porps. according to the dopesters. Dillon's col lection doesn't look so classy on paper, but you can't always sometimes tell. Happy Hogan Is never through blowing his trumpet about what the Brewers will do when the umpire yells, '"lay ball!'" Charley Graham Isn't saying much, but he can be relied upon to have a fast bunch with the assistance of the Boston club. Everything looks rosy for a grand season, with McCredle's team In the race from tart to finish. Walter, who was -here to attend the meeting of the Coast league magnates, let loose the Information that there would be nothing to It but Portland. He expects great things from Bftidley, the new catcher from Cleveland, who has done wonders in the east. With Rapps, Ball, Pecklnpaugh and Sheehan in the Infield, and the collection he has to choose from for the outer garden, It looks like a pipe, provided the twlrlers are as reliable as last year, which Is a debatable question. Artie Boosts Chadbourne. Artie Krueger, when told that Mc Credie had landed a chap by the name of Chadbourne to play the outfield, said: 'Chadbourne Is the fastest man In the country In getting down to first base. He is a greet man to lead off with, and can come very near working a pitcher for a base on balls twice out of four trips to the plate. He lias two and threa on him more than any man I ever saw." President Graham of the Coast league who was reelected the other day, says that ho will continue to govern the affairs of the league with his usual fair ness. The judge is popular among the followers of the game air over the cir cuit, and his reelection has caused much enthusiasm among the fans. Finney and Hlldebrand, the vn.?, are In the city, awaiting the day to start arbitrating. McGreevy is in the east resting up for the long season. Shanley & Furnace, the oroDrietors of the Continental hotel here, where the i-oruana team stops when in town, say that they will be glad to house the lieavers, and that there Is nothing to it but another rag for the season .1911. Shanley says that he will miss that long, lean and lanky flagpole, Gregg. Indeed, Shanley will not be the only one whq will miss Vean. 1 have heard more sports In San Francisco deplore the fact that Vean was going away to the big brush than any. other player in the Seventh 0 PONES VANCOUVER BOUTS DELIGHT Fill V 1 " i i ' '" I xJSitaN. r! 01 SOCCERTITLE Defeat English in First Game .for International Soccer Title. Unless the Americana are able to wrest it from them in n game to be played in ubout a month, the Scotch will again he international soccer cham pions of the state, having beaten the English four goals to one, in the game on, the C. Y. M. C. grounds yesterday. Tho SeotWi used a short passing frame, s was predicted, halfbacks and forwards working in, close unison, and the frozen ground making It very diffi cult td break up that kind of play be causu attacking necessitated quick turns that proved impossible on the snow and Ice. The English for the most part at tempted the kick and rush or the long FWliiKlng pass style of play. The for mer Wa,s of no use against the crafty Scotch defense; the second was ren dered ineffectual by the speed of the Scotch halves ami by the absence from the English forward line In most of the second half of Hyat, who is said to have deserted In an ill humor because he was not fed the ball enough. Hyat Is the San Francisco crack who made the all California team against all Brit ish Columbia in 1909. English ZTot Disgraced. The English were- by no means dis graced, however. Their attacking In the first half, when the wind was with them and when Hyat was full of en thusiasm, was always dangerous. Their backs, now men from Tacoma, were good In that half; Irt the second these backs were unable to clear well, and the ground troubled them more than any two other players on the field. The English goal was scored by the veteran B(llington after he had worked within shooting distance with a clev erness that made the spectators hold their breath. The Scottish goals were scored by Stewart, with a cross shot; by Andrew Matthew, with a close v cross shot from the left wing, passing Just under the bar; by Duncan, with a straight shot that slipped through Buchanan's hands, and lay Dick, with a cross shot from Inside right. The teams were careful about charg ing on the ley ground, with the result that only minor Injuries resulted. A feature 'of the day was the good goal keeping for both sides, Buchanan re. deeming his one bad mistake by several brilliant saves. The playing of How ard, Needham, Lloyd and Hook for the English deserves mention. NORTHWESTERS SIGN . TWO MORE PITCHERS Manager Joseph Cohn of the SpoVane Indians has signed up two more pitch ers. The "twlrlers are Cornelius, of the Bay City team In the Southern Mich igan league, ftnd FltWater.of the Ohio and Pennsylvania league. The latter is a Bouthpaw and is touted as a won der. Manager Bob Brown of the Vancouver Canucks announced that he had signed Jack Clynes, who played with thff Spo kane team In 1909. Bob will use Clynes in left field next season because of the Improvement he has 'shown In batting. Brown sold Clynes to the Calgary team, but gave Bill Carney, Pete Stanbridge and J. Flanagan for his release. Fight in South circuit. His pleasing personality won him a bunch of Trlends In this city, who wish him well on his entry into the majors. Pijht dame Quiet. The fight game is a little quiet The amateurs are taking things easy, but there promises to be considerable ex citement toward the latter part of . the month, when three or four of the so called "amateur" clubs will start One round Hogan and Frankle Burns meet this month In a 20-round bout, which should draw out a bunch of the lovers of the manly art of self-defense. It looks as If Hogan should cop the long end of the purse. Well, whit do you know about this? Barney Linstrom, who conducted a wooden and cork leg establishment on Washington street near Sixteenth, Is here In Frisco. He is following the bangtails and seems to have cornered considerable of the loose change. He sends his regards to Washington street. Barney will take passage to El Paso when the ponies' finish at Emeryville. . New York, Jan. 16. Prospects that the much talked of bam tarn weights championship situation will be cleared up In the near future developed today in the announcement that the National Sporting club here is likely soon to stage a match between Johnny Coulon, America's best boy, and Bigger Stanleys the best Britisher at the weight The match Is conditional on the defeat here on January 2T of Frankle Burns, who Is to meet the little Briton on that date. If, Stanley can take Burns' meas ure he will get the chance at Coulon at 116 pounds, probably for a 20 round bout. A big purse will be offered for the attraction. With the reestabllshment ef rawing as an Intercollegiate sport by Stanford and California universities, the annual regatta , between the eights will occur this summer. BANTAM WEIGHT T TLE CovcyTMoTor Car Co. acd Conch Streets Mathewson Discusses Baseball Prospects yfbr Next Season By Manhattan. ' New York. Jan. 14. Baseball fans and even the players are already figuring out pennant winners for 1911." "The race for the National league baseball pennant in, 1911 will be -a hot ter, closer race than the season Just closed," says Christy Mathewson of the, New York Giants. - ; "A great many people have picked New York to win. , Of course, I per sonally believe it is a little too far In advance to say with tiny certainty, or to hazard even a good guess as to which club will win,, I do believe, .however, that New York will make a better ah ow ing In 1911 than last year; not because Now York will be stronger than it was, but more especially because I believe Chicago will be weaker." Pittsburg will make a better showing than It did this past season. Sldnt Hit Like Old Ones. "While H is true that the Pirates' I'lt.'hir.g' staff was not always to be relied upon I say this as a general pro position It has always Impressed me this way; that Pittsburg in 1910 wasn't hitting like the Pittsburg of old. Until very late In the season none of the Pirate heavy hitters wai batting around .300. Even AVagner didn't until the las' six weeks. That, In my opinion, was responsible for Pittsburg's failure to land. , "This talk about Wagner bettig re leased, or traded, or sold is poppycock, Honus will be playing for the Pirates next season. If there's any likelihood of Pittsburg letting Wagner go. New iork will be the highest bidder for him. If we can't use him anywhere else I'd like to see him behind the bat They call him an old man, but he's a pretty live one for all that and he hasn't reached the age limit oy any means. Cy Young at forty-two, Is still playing, and Anson played after ho had crossed the two score line. Of course, the life cf the average baseball player doesn't extend to forty years, and the men that exceed it are considered among tho world's seven wonders, hut there have been Instances and there wlll.be others. Chicago Not so Good. "I don't look for Chicago to show as well next season as they did this last season, because I believe they will be much weaker In their pitching staff, I believe Ruelbach will do better, however, for the reason that he had -diphtheria last season and was not himself at all. I know what that is, for I had diphtheria myself four or five years M'MINNVILLE HIGH BEATS, INDEPENDENCE (Special Disn?h to The Journal.) McMinnvllle, Or., Jan. 16.

Dallas has won twice from Philomath and once each from McMinnvllle and Chemawa by gqod, safe scorest and the only time when any team played them nearly even was in the second half of the Chemawa game.

DUCKSEASON CLOSED m p i The duck season closed yesterday and those who went out for the purpose of ehootlng the last day report poor bags, the snow olid frcsty weather having driven the ducks from the preserves back to the coast where food Is plen tiful. On the whole, the sportsmen report that the season was about an 'average one. One set of hunters visited the blinds and preserves every Sunday, while others went down the river only on days when the big storms were report ed off the coast which drove the birds inland. These latter maintain that that is the best way of hunting and the Idea may, become popular. E Princeton, N. J., Jan. 16. Princeton, which has not played Cornell since the Tigers were defeated by the Ithacans in 1907, may tackle, its ancient foe again during the coming season. Negotiations are 'now 'in progress for the game, which if concluded, will mean that the Tigers will have the hardest schedule they have played In many years. Princeton will meet Harvard, Tale and Dartmouth, and the result of the series, it is believed, will come near er to determining the real champions of the gridiron than any series of contests since the last game of the Tigers with the New York state team.
