The ma jor leaguers will play between them selves on these dates, but they are anxious to arrange a double header, wherein each will play against the Portland Coast league club on Mon day, November 2. Chances are considerable against this third day's game, for the reason that the Coast league will have closed Its season and the Beavers would haVe to be brought all the way from Cali fornia. While there would be no . guarantee on this game, there will be for the big leaguers on the Saturday and Sunday gamep, and if rain hap pened along on Monday, the Coast league players would lose what chance they had for a cut. It was Judge Mc Credie's Idea, If the game Is arranged against the Coast leaguers, to allow the Beavers to stage it themselves and to have their share of the re ceipts. However, from a financial stand point, the cut to be received by the local people in both instances would hardly warrant the expense Of bring ing the Beavers back from California. If the crowd would turn out in larga numbers, it would be alright, but with the two exhibition games of the big leaguers, tho novelty would probably wear off before the Monday game could be stsged. unless a couple of pitchers like Eddie Plank. Walter Johnson, Boston Bill James or Chris ty Mathewson were used against the Beavers In the double header, it is not believed that the game would draw. NATIONAL LEAGUE At Brooklyn First game.

'If the Mission bunch plays ball next week, like they did this, Portland had better look out," was the warning that trickled over the wires yesterday from Sao, Francisco.

On their last engagement in Sacramento with the Beavers they. took the series, but they have never been able to do much up here. ? Judge McCredie is .anxious to see the Coast league play 20 weeks In Portland next year and 10 weeks at Sacramento and will suggest this to the league directors.

"It is true that I cancelled the stove foundry contract and I am proud of it. and I am glad to get the Oregonian on record in the matter, as it is sure to claim later on that the credit lst due to it OEone of its minions. "The other statement as to tbe idle ness of the Inmates and prison earn ings is absolutely untrue. I "The Oregonian has taken a fpue from State Treasurer Kay and is inaugurat ing a campaign to bring about a return to the old prison contract system. As such a movement is most damnable, it is my, intention to speak at the armory next Sunday afternoon. If it can be so arranged, to the laboring men and women of the city of Port land and Multnomah county. My pur pose will be to show that there has been practically no idleness at the prison, and that the earnings have been greater than under the old sys tem; why convict labor and prison made goods should not be brought in competition with free labor and Its products, and why said prison labor should be confined to services for the state.

The Angels' pennant stock is looking up today a tlie result of last week's series with the Oaks. Six games of the eight were garnered by the Dillonites,' with the result that the club is now Close on the heels of the second place Seals, and a correspondingly short distance from the top of the heap". j Tbe Angels hit well during the week, and their fielding was acceptable, al though at least one of the games they dropped would have been a vkitory with better defensive work. The Oaks played ; streaky ball, but managed to show , a fair front in a majority of the games. , ( One . outstanding feature of the week was the poor attendance. Henry Berry blames this to a circus which spread its tents across the way. Oth ers blame the Oaks, but many re member that the Angels themselves aren't the best drawing card in their home town. i The Seals will open tomorrow with the Angels In a series that promises to provide some real baseball.

VON KLUCK'S ARMY OBJECT -OF FIERCEST EFFORTS OF ALLIES By J. T. W. Mason. Former London - Correspondent for the United Press. - , New York, Sept. 21.- News of furi ous fighting today between the allies' left and the German right on the river Aisne indicated " the prospect . of im portant developments soon In the al lies' effort to cut General von Kluck off from the kaiser's main force. Von Kluck's line of communication with the German center is by way of a railroad running from-Laon 80 miles to the southeastward, to Rheims. This road is dominated by three permanent fortifications on the hill of Brimont, north of Rheims. If the French take Brimont, von Kluck's direct line of communication with the central army by rail will be cut His reinforcements .will then have to be sent to him by a circuitous route three, times the dis tance they have to travel now. Ball Xdme . Is Xmporaat. It is of the utmost Importance to the Germans to keep this Lao n-Rh elms railroad line open for tbe purpose of strengthening their right quickly when- ever the allies enveloping movement becomes dangerous. This accounts, for the allies des perate efforts to capture Brimont hill and the Germans' tenacity in holding the position. r . The allies' 'movement along the river Oise constitutes the 'western extremity of the enveloping movement which von Kluck continues to resist. The allies are carefully concealing the places which they have occupied thus far in the course of their Oise advance, but the progress they are reported to have made, if consistent, must soon begin to tell. Boads Are in Poor Shape. - If the allies should reach their ob jective on the Oise and Brimont hill should 'fall Simultaneously into the hands of the French, von Kluck's po sition will be in tbe highest degree pre carious. Four highways will still be open to him for keeping in touch with the main German army, but the loss of the Laon-Rheims railroad would be a serious handicap, especially In view of the fact that continued rains have made the roads extremely difficult to travel. j. The Austrian evacuation of Jaroslav indicates - that the fear of being sur rounded in a fortress,- which has been so apparent in the western campaign. is aiso innuencmg me Austria ns. By securing: this . position, the Rus sians have gained access to the railroad leading to Cracow. The victory is, in portant for this reason alone, and its street : can be minimised if the Aus- trlans destroy the railroad as. they, re treat toward cracow, - Manner' Wilbert Robinson of Brooklyn ; Nationals.

KAISER MAKING SUPREME EFFORT London, Sept. 21. Todays' evident attempt by the German center and right in northeastern France to resume the aggressive was believed here tonight to foreshadow a speedy climax in the battle of the Aisne. Experts expressed the opinion that the Germans could not fight defensively in their present positions but must either advance or fall back. They believed the kaiser re alized this arid was initiating a supreme efort to advance. Should he succeed, it was admitted the allies position would be serious. In the event of failure, however, which. military authorities predicted, it was' prophesied that a gen eral German retirement would speedily begin. RUSSIANS STILL CROSS ENGLAND New York, Sept. 21.
