Out of loyalty to the czar, ths

Howard Mundorff.
Followers the Portland lnter
scholastic football games are more
than pleased with the gridiron battles
played In the league, thus far this sea
son. ' The open style game, which has
been adopted by a majority of the
high school mentors is much better
for the, players and spectators alike.
The football fjt-ns nowadays want to
see sensational contests. The open
style football gives them plenty of
sensations. Twke during the present
season games have been won and lost
In the last few minutes of play.
Four of thj local schools "-Columbia
university. Portland academy, Jef
ferson and Hill Military academy de
pend on open play and forward pasj
for tlH-ir gains, while Lincoln and
Washington rely on the old style line
buck plays for their gainn, although
thn coaches of these teams have sev
eral trick plays lrr their systems,
which they will likely spring when the
two teams meet in the big game of the
season, a week from today.
The Lincoln team has been very
weak Oils season in breaking up for
ward passes. The Portland academy
team triumphed over the Cardinals by
making a series of sensational passes
and the Jefferson eleven beat Bor
Icske's players last week by making a
long, sensational pass in the last
minute of play. The Uncoln squad
Is working hard to perfect its defense
on forward pass, and it Is expected
that Borlfske will spring a few for
ward pass formations himself next
eek.
It appeurs to the writer that the Co
lumbia university team should win the
c!iarnplunliip, although It has been
held to a tie scire by the Washington
blKli eleven. Tho3howing of the Jef
ferson team last fceek makes it a con
tender for the title and if Coach Jami
son's men continue to play as they did
against Lincoln there is likely to be
an upset In the race for the title. The
tackling of : the' ljftue and Gold -Squad
was the best witnessed In any game
this year.
The Portland academy team Is pret
ty strong this season, although it is
doubted whether Hurlburt's plaKera
can hold the heavy Washington tVam
as tliey did the Lincoln eleven. Q'hn
P. A. eleven was defeated by Columbia
In the first few minutes of play by a
60 yard run by M-alarkey.
Nine more games remain to be
played this season and the followers
of the schoolers expect to see some
dose contests;
There has been considerable com
ment in the grandstand this season
because faculty members are used as
time keepers: The official rules pro
vide that the head linesman, shall be
time keeper and a member of old-time
football players think that the nule
should be followed out fn the Inter
scholastic league, where the work of
a linesman is not very hard..

San Francisco, Oct. 28. Practical
admission that the clubs of the Pacific
coast league lost heavily during the
season Just closed came here today
with the announcement that the direc
tors had decided upon a number of re.
trenchments for next year.
One of the first things the magnates
did at yesterday's meeting was to re
duce the player limit from 20 men to
18, to be in force from May 1 to Au
gust 21. A further saving was pro
vided for when the salary limit was
reduced from $6000 to $5000. and the
single umpire system adopted. The re
duction in the salary limit alone means
a saving of $42,000 to the leaeue.
while the single umpire system will
save the salaries of three men, amount
ing to JbOOO, exclusive of traveling ex
penses, which foot up to a couple of
thousand more.
The 1915 season, it was announced.
will begin March 23 and close October
17. both dates being one week earlier
than the present schedule-
Seattle. Salt Lake. Kan Jam and Sue.
rameirto, it was announced, are in the
field to secure the forfeited franchise
of the Sacramento-Mission club. A
committee of three, made up of him
self, J. Cal Ewing and F. W. Leavltt,
was appointed by PresidentadBaum to
decide where the sixth cluehall be
placed next year. Baum declared all
applicants will be heard, and the one
presenting the best proposition will be
awarded the franchise.
Seattle has been anxious to break
Into the Coast league for years, and
the nbrthern city seems to be preferred
by the directors because they say it is
the largest city and best prepared to
support class AA ball.
Harry Wolverton and Lloyd Jacobs
of Sacramento are disappointed at the
action taken by the directors, and it
was hinted that a legal battle is prob
able before a final decision is reached
over the disposition of the Sacramento-
Mission club.
One of the -trades arranged during
yesterday's meeting sends Pitcher
United States Smith of Venice to Port
land in exchange for Catcher Yantz.
After the 1914 pennant was formally
awarded to Portland and Judge W. W
McCredie had responded with a neat
speech, the magnates adjourned until
February 17, the date of the spring
schedule meeting.
San Francisco. Oct. 28. That four
French Boxers have been killed, and
that Georges Carpentier, heavyweight
champion of Europe, was probably
fatally wounded in the European war,
was the information given out here
today b Kid McCoy. McCoy said his
wife had received a letter from Paris,
containing the information of the
deaths and the injury to Carpentier,
written by Miss Carrie King, a vaude
ville actress. Carpentier, she- said, was
shot through the lung.
The four boxers killed, according
to Miss King, were Charles Ledoux,
Charles Struber, Adrian Hagan and
Max Stringer. Ledoux probably was
the best known in America of the four,
having boxed at Los Angeles.

here to convince the fans that he has

his much advertised knockout punch,

hands. The bout was very slow.

Albany, Or., Oct. 28. All Is in readi
ness at this end for the staging of the
annual football game Saturday be
tween the Oregon Agricultural college
and the University of Washington. It
is expected that fully 3000 people will
attend.
The field Is declared to be in the
best shape it has been In since it was
laid out. The fine weather during the
past few days following the rainy
spell has put the ground in ideal con
dition. The bleachers are In good
shape, having been tested and prepared
where needed.
Terms under which the game is to
be staged are that the Albany Com
mercial club raise a sum of about $50
to put the field in the desired condi
tion, while each team put up $50 for
the rental of the grounds from the Al
bany Athletic association.
Everett May, assistant coach at the
Oregon Agricultural college, was a
Portland visitor today to arrange for
the sale of tickets for the O. A. C
Washington game at Albany Saturday.
They will be placed on sale at Spauld
lng's and will remain there until about
10 o'clock Saturday morning. The price
Is $1 for general admission and $1.(0
for the grandstand. However, the gen
era! admission tiokets will be sold at
the gate In Albany.
"We expect to have at least 150 fans
from Portland for the game, which will
be the biggest played in Oregon out
side of the Oregon-O. A. C. contest at
Corvallis November 21," said May.
"The game with Washington will be
the only one played off the beattie
campus and the only chance that the
Oregon football fans will have to
witness the big game. I saw Wash
ington in the Whitman game at. Seattle
last Saturday and Dobie's men are as
fast and as strong as ever. They are
not as slow as the Seattle papers would
lead one to believe. They did not beat
Whitman by a large score because
Whitman did some of the greatest
tackling- I have ever seen in the north
west. We have a good chance to beat
them this year."

New York, Oct, 28. Frank Farrell,
one of the chief stockholders of the
New York Americans, denied today
that the club is for sale. One of the
most persistent rumors circulated in
baseball circles has been that the
Ward brothers, owners of the Brooklyn
Federals, were negotiating for the
New York club.
"From now on." 6aid Farrell. who
admitted that the persistency of the
Ward report was getting on his
nerves, "I am going to have my meals
served in the American league club
office here, or somebody will sell my
club right under my eyes. I was not
out more than an hour the other day
when I got a telephone message say
ing that the Yanks were gone, and I
had to rush right back to save the
pieces.
"I don't know where this idea origi
nated that I wanted to sell out, but
somebody started it about six weeks
ago, and now everybody, it seems, has
been trying to figure out how it can
be dbne. As a matter of fact, the club
is not for sale. The only thing that
is worrying me right now Is building
up a team and getting a good manager
for next season. That ought to be
enough, but it looks as If I will have
to keep the safe locked and sit on top
of it or they will get my team while
I'm not looking.
"Mr. Ward, I see, says that some
one asked him over the telephone what
he thought of buying the New York
club. I don't know who that person
was, but I do know that he spoke with
out authority I want to go on record
once more with the declaration that
the Yankees are not for sale."
