Tommy Tracey. - The Sunday preceding the fight O'Brien went out to box four rounds with McFarland at the latter' s training quarters. Danny ' saya he didn't try to get into McFarland'a camp be cause of the Uncertainty of his right hand, hut he says it is just as well that he didn't, for McFarland didn't ask him back after what happened. Here is the way Danny describes it: "I walked out and hooked him in the jaw wun tna left and tnen started an other hook toward the stomach and raised that to hla Jaw. McFarland stepped back to study mo and then it started. I didn't mean to be fresh. but whenever there waa an opening couldn't make my hands behave. The result was that we wero fighting like blazes. The place was crowded, It be. lng Sunday. When the crowd cheered me Packy cam tearing in. I had my right taped and it felt fine and dldn' bother me. "To tell the truth, I surprised my self and every one else and the day may . eome when I'll get a chance at him.' - And when I do ho will have tough time of it beating me. rne promoters down here tell me Britton was lucky to beat me and have been offered another match with htm. They" also want to match nut with Ray Temple or Willie Ritchie, but the latter wants the world to box me four rounds. I'm going, to get Britton and regain, my standing. This tlm I'll insist that he weighs in at 186 pounaa. "By the way, th paper kind of roast ed m for my showing with McFarland, who naa everything, but I hope you run across someone who saw the bout Frank Mulkern told me in Milwaukee that I could make McFarland travel, but X never had th confidence then.

Directors of th Pacifio Coast league will meet tonight In San Francisco for the purpose of electing offloers for the ensuing year and mapping out schedule. Tho election of Al Baunv as president by a telegraphlo vote sv. eral weeks ago makes it unnecessary to choose a now head, hut the various committees and vice presidents will he named. In the matter of making a schedule. It Is expected that Judge McCredie will submit Manager Walter McCredle'a pet plan of abolishing all Sunday morning games except at Oakland. Walter McCredie saya the Vernon and Sacramento Sunday morning game are useless In that they invariably result in loss to both clubs financially and are hard on the players. If tho south erners desire two game on Sunday, he says he would rather play , double headers In tho afternoon. Judge McCredie will return imme diately to Portland to supervise th construction or tee new grandstand. Th meeting will be a short one and the schedule committee will meet at a future date to declda definitely on the schedule. Portland will open at . Los Angeles again next season, while Oakland and San Francisco meet at the metropolis. vernon ana Sacramento open at Bacra mento.

Such a statement Is no exaggeration whatever. The fig ures prove it No other big leaguer over took down a batting average of .408 his first real season In fast company as did Jackson. No other pitcher than Oregg ever won more than two-thirds of his games his first year In the big show. Oregg did better than that win ning 23 and losing seven games, a per centage of .787. .Among first year men of. the past he has no rival, writes Henry P, Edwards, the Cleveland scribe. Oregg not only won .767 per cent of his games, but he also allowed fewer hits and runs to a game than any other American league pitcher this year, a rare honor for a youngster just break ing into th big league, especially rare when th fact is taken into considera tion that among his rivals were such great pitchers as Bender, Coombs, Plank, Wood, Ford, Walsh, Johnson, Mullen, Summers, Wlllett, Lake and Col lins. And Oregg, Instead of a pennant winning team behind him, had a team that was In the second division the greater part of the' campaign, a team that was badly crippled throughout th majority of the season. Keoords Ar Compared. Tho writer has compared Gregg's flrat year record with that of th initial per formances of such famous pitchers as Mathew so Brown, Reulbach, Joss, Ben- aer, i-ianic. waisn, jonnson, vvooa, Coombs and Marquard. Gregg's work outshines them all and in every case, care was taken to set down the first complete season of the other hurlers. For instance, Mordecai Brown's season with the Cardinals was ignored, pref erence being given to his first campaign as one of the Cubs. Matty's first por tion of a season with the Giants was not taken, either. But with all this consideration for Gregg's rivals, there is not one that had a first year record to compare with the Nap southpaw. ' Joe Wood of Boston possibly did the best work, but even he won but half as many as did Gregg, while losing the same number. Mordecai Brown's mark with the Cubs was only .000, while Plank, Mathewson, Walsh, Joss and ALL-STARS DEFEAT Tuerck Shoots Only Goal of Poorly Played Game of Soccer. The Portland high school all-star soc cer football team defeated the Boys of Australia by a single goal in a hard- rought though somewhat unscientific fame on Multnomah field yesterday af ternoon. Every allowance must be made for both Bides on account of the bad state of the ball, which waa all against a neat exhibition of football,' th sodden bulb reducing combination to a mini mum. Th high schools had Biheo and Davis away, but the Kangaroos were the worse sufferers through absence, with at least three of last Saturday's team in bed. while In all probability they were th more affected by the adverse conditions. Th game was of a level character right through, each side playing hard, though failing to take advantage of openings through over eagerness. -The first half contained plenty of , exoite ment though void of goals, nor was it till just after crossing over that th high school secured what proved to be .a winning lead when Tuerck shot from long range, with tho goalkeeper out of position. ' ' The Kangrooa made determined ef forts to draw level, without success, though a corner kick taken on time waa only cleared with difficulty. The lineup: Ill-Stars. Position. Boys Of Aus.

Walsh's first year as a member of the White Box waa not taken into consideration, as h waa a bench warmer moat of the time. In stead he waa favored and his second yar listed. In small bit games.

Th first frac tional campaign is not counted, the rec ond given being that of the player's first complete season as a big leaguer. But 'even then, Jackson has no trouble in taking down the honors, as this year he batted 4S points better than Lajole did in 1S97, 60. points better than did Georg Stone in 1906, when he led the league, 48 points better than did , Ty Cobb In 1906, his first real season, 99 points' better than Trls Speaker in 1909 and 100 points or more better than Hans Wagner, Frank Baker, Eddie Col lins.
