' efeljWjgl z ' I IIP ; Report from th rival Victoria and Portland hockey camps indicate that the game here tomorrow night may be played without the services of two stars. Manager Lester Patrick, of the Aristocrats, and Captain Eddie Oatman, of the Rosebuds. Oatman has a severe case of grip, and Is under the doctor's care. Ills physician Is trying hard to get him Into condition for at least a portion of the game. In the event that Oatman Is unable to continue throughout the 80 minute period, Charley Uksila and Alf Barbour will have a chance to break Into the calcium. Barbour is the long stllted boy who won the game from the Seattle team here, while t'kslla broke Into the Coast league against the Seal? tie players in the Sound city. Patrick suffered a severe Injury to his knee, the same sore spot that lowed up his playing last year. Les ter bade fair to set a new record for coring for a defense man this year when he shot six goals and three as sists In four games. Lester was prac ticing with some amateurs last week, and was body che-krd by one of them. He was carried off the tee with a bad ly wrenched knee. He has been using a cane since, but will try to get Into the game here tomorrow. If both stars are out of the game, the teams will still be pretty evenly matched. Victoria, which was the cel lar champion last year, has a lot of new blood this season, and the hockey experts are looking for Les Patrick's boys to be the dark horse of the league. Ed Savage, the Portland Mogul, and Pietro JIuldoun. the Seattle impresario, are of the same opinion. "The tea.n that beats Victoria will win the pen nant," they chorus. Victoria will introduce a couple of new stars to the Portland hotkey fans. They will L O Leary, who balls from Calgary, and McCullough. from the Hegir.a club. Manager Patrick would also Introduce his new soldier hockey tar, if he were able to bring "Trooper" Box across the boundary, but the Do minion military authorities lo not fefl Inclined to let Box go. R.in McDonald, the speedy forward of last year's Port land team, will be with Victoria, and may be expected to play a corking game here. Kenny Ma, lea, known as the fastest skater In the league, who was with Victoria last year, is playing a bang-up game for the islanders. The game will start at S.30 o'clock, with Mi' key Ion, of Vancouver, and Jimmy Rilance, cf Portland, handling the whistle. Seattle Meta Vancouver. Seattle, Wash., Pec. 27. (P. X. S.) Pete Muidoon's aggregation of puck pushers Is sharpening up Its skates to day, getting ready to take a fall out of the Vancouver Millionaires In the local arena tomorrow night. Final practice for the giiiie was held this afternoon. Freshened by nearly two weeks' rest, the locals are In excellent shape for a bard game. With three victories and one defeat to their credit, the -Mulg axe anxious to win from Vancouver. With four straight defeats composing thsir bitter portion, the Millionaires likewise want victory. The situation is properly evolved for some fast and furious hockey. Although the local septet is confi dent of winning, it docs not underrate the Vancouver team, despite Its dis appointing showing to date, and a bat tle royal Is expected. Frank Patrick will be in the Vancouver lineup. Aggies Basketers Knock Off Practice Oregon Agricultural College. Cor vallla. Dec. 87. With the Christmas vacation at hand and Coach E. J. Ktewart In the east, basketball practice at the Oregon Agricultural college has been discontinued until January S, when regular training will again be resumed.

The lineup of the men who will wear the orange and black. In the first game has not yet been announced. With Captain Sleberts back In form again, after a prolonged siege of la rrippe. and shooting baskets with old time accuracy, the Aggie prospects have brightened considerably.

DREYFUSS IS SURE WHO'S BIG DIAMOND STAR Pittsburg Pirates' Owner Look No Farther Than Carnegie, Pa, Ry Frank G. Menke. "Whenever I want to see the great est ball player I go out to Carnegie, Pa," remarked Barney Dreyfuss, dur ing the recent peace pow-wow in New York. "Carnegie? Carnegie? What's lit Carnegie?" asks the cub sport writer. "That's the place that has the honor of housing the greatest ball player that ever wore a pair of spikes." an swered Barney. "That's the town, you know, where Honus Wagner lives." "Oh!" exclaimed the cub. ITever Feared Sospenslon. "There have been other ball play ers," continued Barney, "tinil there are some creat ones now, but I always will leel t hiit Wagner was tie greatest. In hij prime he could hit, throw, field and run with the best of them. Other players maybe were a little better on the whole average, but one thing you must remember agner was out there trying day after day. We never had to fear that he would get excited during a crucial Beries and do things that would result to his being suspend ed for a week or two suspended just at a time when we needed him most. "We always could count on Wagner playing lo4 games a year unless sick or disabled. Wre always depended upon him. always knew he would be with us when we needed him. And so, be cause of this greatest virtue of all, and because of his terrific hitting, his great fielding, running and throwing, I believe that Wagner always should rank as the greatest player the game hfa produced." Most Consdentoua Ball Player. "Wagner," continue, 1 Barney, "is the most conscientious player I ever knew Last winter I went down to Carnegie to visit him. We talked on generali ties for a while and then Honus 6aid "Say, Barney, I think It is only fair to you that my salary should be re duced. I am not as good as I was. I'm only a has-been now and I'm cheating you when I draw down my big salary every month." Barney didn't say so, but It Is known that three or four yefirs ago he signed a contract with Wagner that called for a salary of J10.000 a year and that the contract was unlimited as to time. It really put it up to Wagner that he could play for the Pirate-a as long as he felt he was able to deliver the "goods" and for this he was to get 10,OuQ each year. When Salary Was Reduced. "What did you say to Honus when he asked you to cut his salary?" quizzed the cub. "I told him he must be suffering from indigestion. But Honus was seri ous. He insisted that I cut his sal ary. But I didn't and I won't. As long as Wagner plays with the Pirates he'll get the salary he has been get ting lor the past few years the high est he has ever received. And Wag ner can stay with my club as long as he wants to. "The grand old Dutchman has made money for me in years gone by. He has helped to win pennants and helped to get me a share of the world series money. He has been my real drawing card in years gone by and there is no way that I can show my grateful ness bettor than to pay him his bb salary as long as he wants to play ball. Ten Years Is T.I m It. "How much longer do you think that will be?" 'I hope it will be 10 years longer," answered Barney. "What do you expect Honus to do in 1810. He's getting pretty old now. He's 4J," said the cub. "Yes, that's right; he's 42," an swered Barney, "and because he's that old I don't expect he'll steal more than do bases or hit above 3'jO. But you never can tell about that fellow. S. A.

Mr. Praeger says the transfer of a clerk from Montana to Portland fol lowed the usual service practice; that the proportion ot substitutes Is not a matter of law, but of postal regula tion, and Is usually kept at about 1 to 8, so the Portland lst of 29 substi tutes to 207 regulars la little above the average; that the proposal to transfer postofflce clerks to the rail way mall is considered a betterment measure in securing expert distribu tors, and will have little effect on promotions from the substitute list, and that he will be glad to look Into any complaint that clerks are required to do 30 hours' work for two days' pay If a specific instance is cited. Concerning the assertion of some or the men that the pay of substitutes averages only tiO a month, the de partment Quotes figures for the lajt four months showing an average pay has been $41.14, $34.48, $32.98 and i:r, respectively, with prospective increase from this time on.
