TWaVE SCHOOL
Interest Taken in Soccer in
' Seattle; Athletic Commit
tee Working Hard.
According to the latest Information
there will be between 10 and 12 teams
In the Grammar School Soccer league
this fall. There were four teams last
year, and with the help of the Port
land Football association the Gram
mar 'School athletic committee will
have opportunity to form a good
league.
Several games were played last sea
son and no Injuries were reported, while
several Injuries resulted In American
style football.
The Grammar School Athletic com
mittee of Seattle is planning on form
ing soccer league when the fall term
of school opens and wants two divi
sions. ' With soccer fast gaining In popu
larlty in both Portland and Seattle, it
Is likely that several other northwest
ern cities will take up the sport which
Is said to be less dangerous than foot
ball. A committee was selected In Seattle
and will work out the schedule as soon
as all the schools have filed their in
tention of entering the league.
Some of the local schools, which will
enter In the -local league are Ainsworth,
Chapman, Holman, Shattuck, Holladay,
Sellwood, Irvlngton and Failing.

Just as soon as the curtain rings
down In the American league this fall,
Vean Gregg, th senh.itlonal Nap south
paw, will gather up his belongings and
Start poet hant- for Portland, where he
will prepare for a several months' trip
Into the Rogue river mountains In com
pany with Buddy Ryan, the Cleveland
outfield recruit, and BUI Hodgers, the
Portland second baseman. If they find
game to their liking, it is likely that
they will remain in the Jungles all
Winter, coming out in the spring early
enough to make preparations to go to
the Nap training camp at Alexandria
-and -the Beaver camp at Santa Maria,
Cal., where Rodgers will report..
1 Ryan and Rodgers will not have their
baseball season finished until October
22, and the trio plan to have Gregg
make all the preliminary arrangements
for the hunting trip, even to getting
the . guide, provisions and horses to
carry the hunters into the hills.
Last winter Gregg and Ryan spent a
couple of months In the Rogue river
mountains . as the guests of an old
woodsman, and had such a good time
that they resolved to make an even
longor stay this year. Rodgers, who Is
an ardent hunter and possesses an arm
ory of some 10 guns of various make.
Intends, if It la convenient to take his
w!f along, and in that event Mrs.
Gregg- will probably; accompany her
husband. 1
Fielder Jones, the former' Chicago
manager who ts now a resident of

Beavers had dented the rubber.
As a starter Kuhn popped to O'Rourke.
Then Koestner crashed a single through
short. Chad kicked in with a double to
left center that put Kessy on third, and
the pair registered on Lindsay's two-
pller to right center. Rapps came along
with the same kind of a hit to the same
territory, and Lindsay scored. Krueger
combed one to left center and Rapps
loped homeward.. The slaughter came to
an end when Peck skied to Van Buren
and Sheehan breezed.
Rapps' slnglo with one out, Kruegers
out, a steal of third as Peck walked and
then a double ste'al for this pair with
Rapps tallying. Sheehan's fly to Lewis
completed the third-out.
Ryan's third hit, a single across sec
ond, Koestners third single and Chad
bourne's chop to oenter, gave the Beav
ers their tenth scorelet

Ryan started the run getting again
in the seventh when he outguessed
Thompson, who succeded Arrellanes In
the third, and dropped a perfect bunt.
Kuhn perlpateticed and Koestner like
wise, got his fourth straight hit, scor
ing Ryan and putting Kuhn on third.
Chad walked and Kuhn came in on
Rapps Infield out, after Lindsay popped
to Helster at second.
Three hits In the sixth saved Sacra
mento a shutout Danzig beat out a
long roller to Sheehan and scored on
Mahoney's double to center. Rapps was
playing a little "horse" and dropped
Koestners throw on Van , Buren's
grounder. Thomas lofted to Chad
bourne and Lerchen drove Mahoney
across with a single that skated between
short and second. Thompson struck out
and Peck lassoed Lewis' fly.
Lobs 'Em Over.
Koestner Just lobbed them over in
the ninth and as a result, Neblnger
singled to left, followed by Holster's
whang to center. Danzig fouled to
Sheehan. and Mahoney brought Neblnser
home with a biff to oenter. Th crowd

Tommy Burns, former heavyweight

a form to play for the Vancouver La

to take part In the extra series. Tommy,
who played for Vancouver on Labor day

And now we have William H. Rapps,
the sterling Initial bagger of Mc
Credie's pennant chasing ball team. -Bill
Is a two-year-old Beaver, this being his
second season as a member of the Port
land team. Rapps is a native of "Show
Ma," and is playing baseball because
of a tip handed out' by a friend of the
manager of the Joplln team.
Bill's middle name is Ginger. He
Is the liveliest ball player on the Port
land club this season and is In the
game from the announcing of the bat
tery until the last man has 'been put
out
Rapps Is playing the best fielding
game of his career, the same brand
that caused his trip to the majors
some seasons ago, but from which he
was forced back to the minors on ac
count of an injury. Rapps Is one sure
fielder and Is the possessor of about
the strongest throwing arm of any in

are going hunting and It will be Im
possible to hold the tournament till

Rapps has Improved this season and his
sticking has annexed many a hard
fought game for the locals. He has
been stcking in the 800 class all sea
son and is playing the greatest game
of his life in the hot fight for the
gonfalonx. Most of his hits are as
timely as If he deliberately waited till
some one had reached first base be
fore taking his turn at the plate. His
drives are generally good for extra
bases.
Last season Rapps suffered from leg
trouble a good deal, but that trouble
seems to have left him this season
and he Is lots faster on his feet than
he was the season before. He stole
three bases yesterday, one for a score.
Bill was bdrn In Rich Hill, Bates
county, Mo., and was his father's best
plowboy. He developed his strong arm

officers for the coming year. The club
has rented Baker lake this season and
will shoot Wednesday and Saturday af

the club to help the state game warden

One of BUI'S friends watched him
play catch with another boy one day
and tipped him off to the managor of
the Joplln club, where Bill was signed
as a catcher. The next season Jay An
drews, former Portland third baseman,
bought Rapps for the Leavenworth,
Kan, team as a first baseman. Next
season, which was 1907, Andrews took
Rapps with him to the Oklahoma team.
It was with this team that Rapps de
veloped into one of the finest bagmen
in minor league baseball. In the last
part of the 1908 season the St Louis
club bought Rapps, but turned him back
to the Oklahoma team when he broke
his ankle. In the fall of the 1909
season he was drafted' by the Kansas
City team and finished that season with
the Blues.

tne nrst visit of an eastern cricket
team on the Pacific coast naturally a
great deal of Interest Is being taken by
erloketers and their friends,
The visit of the Philadelphlans will
help cricket all over the coast and,
while It Is generally admitted that the
class of cricket Is higher In the east
and skilled players a great deal more
numerous there than here, it la thought
that all the matches played out here
will bo keenly contested.
Each of the Paclflo coast clubs will
endeavor to put their very strongest
team in the fiold. for It is creating the
greatest rivalry as to which club will
make the best display against the vis
itors. While the Portland Cricket club
Is regarded as a Very, strong one and
has always shown Itself as such. It
suffers In one respect and that Is lack
of outside matches. Being so far away

Patsy Kline, losing heart "before the
demonlao rushes and the never-say-dla
stand of Frankia Conley, ' deliberately
quit In the fourteenth round of his
scheduled twenty round battle before the
Pacific Athletio club.
As the records will stand, Conley
will be credited with a clean knockout
victory. Frankle did more than stop
his man; he developed a streak of yel
low in Patsy as broad as the latter s
shoulders.' -
Clips to Ohla.
Conley opened the fourteenth with a
left clip on the chin that sent the tired
and battle worn Klin reeling back
across the, ropes. Crouching In a neu
tral corner Kiln stuck his face square
ly over a light left uppercut and dropped
to th floor for the count of eight He
came to his teet in a reluctant manner
and after feinting for a moment or
so, took a right on th chin and flopped
to the floor.
In a seml-slrtlng position, with his
face resting on his elbows, th arm be
ing thrown over his knees, he allowed
himself to be counted out ' Patsy came
to his feet as Referee Eyton counted

man who had suffered a knockout

is the same durable demon of th ring
who, as a bantam, took everything that

Knocked to Canvas.
Conley was knocked prone to th can
vas with a left drive to the Jaw in the
first round. He was soundly whipped
In the second but managed to fight on
even terms In th third and fourth. In
all of th earlier rounds Conley was
outboxed and in the eighth he was sad
ly distressed.
Th tide of battl began to turn in
the tenth and then Conley, never al
lowing Kiln to draw a long breath,
fought the Newark boy around the four
sides of th ring. It was this pace that
told oa Kline and beat; him.
