Good old sombre Bill MeKcchnie, fired by the St Louis management, after leading the team to the National League pennant last year, has been re called and Billy Southworth exiled to Rochester. "Hair Trigger Sam" Breadon, a fine old sport, constitutes the prin cipal part of the brains back of the Cards. He canned McKechnic Prospects For Good Men On W. U. Football Squad Held Just About Average With the opening of the train ing season two weeks away. Coach ' Spec" Keene of the Willamette university football team Is begin ning to receive word from his ex perienced players who are expect ed to return this fall, as to wheth er they will be on hand. The first to announce that they will answer roll call September 9, are Paul Ackernian, two year let ter m a n at center, and Boh Hill Is. who was a freshman guard last fall. Another prospect Is Ray Hal deane. Indian who played end two years ago. He is now in Alaska, but reports that he is hoping to arrange his affairs so that he can return to school. If he comes, the outlook will be brightened considerably, for end is one of the prospective weak spots. There will be two separate squads this year, a varsity squad of 24 players to which Coach Keene will give his own attention principally, and a second squad which will be directed by his as sistants. "Red" Denman and Les- tle Sparks. However, both squad will work on much the same sched ule, for it is probable that play ers will be shifted from one to the other as their performances warrant. Last spring, Coach Keene had prospects of a squad which would include 14 lettermen, but the pro portion of these who will return to school is still unknown. Back field lettermen practically sure to return are Cranor, French and Page; linemen in addition to Ack erman and Illllis will probably in clude Emmons and Philpott. guards; Versteeg and Carpenter, tackles. Experienced ends and quarterbacks are likely to be to tally lacking. In preparation for the early practice season, work on Sweet land field will be started Monday. The gridiron was worked over thoroughly prior to last? season, and was exceptionally fast. It drained well even during tbe perrf iod of heaviest rains, and there were only a few small mudholes In contrast to the "lakes" through which players were forced to navi gate In the past. The athletic department at Wil lamette has spent about $1000 for new football equipment. Twenty two new salts were purchased, in addition to larger quantities of shoes and ether accessories. The suits are equally divided between the "harness" outfits purchased a St Louis Blues" Pictured bj BURNLEY- last year when the team flopped to the Yank in the World's Series.

And new the St Louis Brawns are undergoing a managerial shuf fle, too, with the good Mr. Phil Ball reported to be on the verge of casting out Dan Howley. The latter has been getttn- "front of- year ago, and a new type of two piece trouse-r which will be the equipment for ends and backfleld men. This is designed to afford better protection for blocking op ponents. Willamette's tentative schedule follows: September 21, Oregon State at Corvallis. October 5. Linfield at Salem.

Playing at home, Coqullle won the first game 2 to . and at Eu gene last Sunday Eugene won 6 to 4. In earlier league games, each had scored two victories over the other. The Salem Senators will prob ably play the winner of the Valley-Bar playoff next Sunday, It was indicated Saturday when ne gotiations for a two game series at Bend had apparently fallen through because ot failure te agre on terms.

I.. Aug. 24 (AP) Playing before a hostile crowd, big Bill Tilden displayed enough of his great fighting spirT it to overcome George M. Lott, Jr., of Chicago. In a long five set tennis match here today in the final of the 13th Newport Casino invitation tournament. This vic tory gave the old master perman ent possession of the Cushman trophy, as he won his first two legs in 1926 and 1927. The scores were 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3. The doubles final was won by Lott nd Johnny Doeg, of San ta Monica, Calif., when they won 34 of the 64 games played. They played with Fritt Mercur of Beth lehem. Pa., and his brilliant -partner, J. Gilbert Hall, of Orange, N. J., the winning figures were 6-4, 4-6, 11-9, 6-2. IxXt Plays Fart Time In Stocking Feet Tilden made a furious start against Lolt, wiuning the first four games, three by love. The young Davis cup player started 011 a court which contained a large slippery area and he wa3 worried by the unsafe footing. After slip ping several times he changed to ypiked shoes and when these fail ed to keep him upright, he remov ed them and played in his socks until the sun dried the court. Several times during the second set Tilden was displeased by un favorable decisions made by lines men and he delayed the play to chide with them. Before the fiual set .started the referee called on the crowd, over whelmingly for Lott, to refrain from applause. Tilden served a love in the first game, and Lott held the second. During this game many of the crowd disregarded the referee's request and ap plauded Lott. Old Vet Glares At Packed Stands Tilden turned and glared at the stands for almost a minute. This gesture of displeasure so an noyed a few of the spectators that they hissed the former world's, champion when he next found fault with a linesman's de cision the hissing, probably the first ever heard in the historic and exclusive Casino, was quickly stopped by the protests of the ma jority. Hall played a remarkably steady game during the afternoon doubles match maintaining his services on each of his perform ances. Mercur was broken six times during the 64 games, Doeg four times andnbtt once. t During the Tilden-Lott match the governors of the Newport Ca sino Lawn Tennis association re warded 73 year old Tom Petltt, who served as superintendent of the courts, 53 years, by presenting him with a silver plate and a punie of $1000. 14th Street Team Winner of Two Baseball Games Fourteenth street playground took both games of a doublehead er from Lincoln, Saturday after noon on the former's field. Three home runs were hit, Lincoln get ting one. The last games of the season will be played Tuesday. The first game went to Four teenth 10 to 2 and the second 7 to 2. Circuit clouts were made by John Perrlne and John Kelly of Fourteenth street and Maivin Ritchie of Lincoln. Batteries were Perrine and Hale for Four teenth street and Ritchie and Mathews for Lincoln. Annual Boys' Race Scheduled Friday Newsies will be given an op portuuity to show their speed on a bicycle Friday afternoon at Fourteenth street playground In the annual paper boys race. A track will be marked off on din ger field giving the boys a race of more than a quarter of a mile. Paper carrying, bags will be used as entrance cards. More than 30 boys rode last year. r urt v Comments By-CURTIS Speaking of aajania-clad golf ers, that's what ;he Rev. Thomas Hardie, pastor o? the Methodist church at Silverton, is going to .speak of at this morning's serv ices. He has annouucetl as hU ser mon snbject, "Why Aren't the Chore tups as Daring as the Golf .lah?" MiKffiriiigs are felt among tbe more conservative membeii of bis congregation, that someone will attend in pa jamas and prove that they are Its daring. Apparently it doesn't require any pajamas to induce Dallas folk to play golf. A Polk county tourn ament will start today on the Oak Knoll cfourse, with 63 men and 19 women participating in the first round. Salem's expert liOi-ss,lme tovs ers are limbering up for the tournament which will le play ed at CorvallU September 1 and S. Maybe if the Corvallis Coun try club golf tam defeats the Sa lem Golf club players here to day, Sharkey and Kay will install some steel peg at thir course and start the boys practicing up for revenge. Funny how liorscwhoe pitch ing is gaining in favor now ( fiat horseshoes are so haifi to find. Ducks tied for first pla : Tom Turner said a while ha-V. when his team was in the cellar, that he'd stay in Portland until iie won a Coast League pennant. Maybe he's getting tired of the town. The Eugene ball team goe to CouilIe today for the dec-id-nK game of th Valley-Bay Iei4riirt hanjions!iip playoff. We'll bet Shy Huntington clr not go along to umpire. Hot waves of wrath have been ris ing from Hie Coquille camp all week. They claim Shy won last Sunday's game for Eugene by calling a runner safe at the plate, when he w blocked off, and calling a foul ball a fair at a crucial moment. Shy was the be.st umpire in the Willamette Valley league last year and one of the fairest, with all due honor to Al Senders of Al bany. For another thing. Shy had absolutely no "run ins" with any team, as far as we recall from a close assiration with all of the clubs in that league. Which Just goes to show that tbe smaller the town, tha less philosophical it is likely to be about ball games and umpires' decisions. If Mighty Casey had fanned out in New York int-ed of Mudrille, no poem ever would ha?e bea written about him. This week the athletic depart ment at Willamette will start working over Sweetland field, and it won't be long until bleachers will be rearranged at dinger field and goal posts erected. With the use of a little imagination, we can already see rows of perspir ing youths running down under punts beneath a glaring Septem ber sun. Gosh, how terrible those first few nights of practice are! : Kut the boys who play football to day hare something to be thank lul tor. Falling on tbe ball i no longer the piece de resist ance of each workont for tbe first two weeks. That was a barbarous custom.

Tommy Iad Field All Way Armour, on of t!i greate.-t i manipulators of ir.ms golf lias jeer known topped ttie brilliant field from stait to finish. All told, i he was seven tinder par for his four round-! and his total eclipsed 'the weftprn open record, estah 1 ished by Arthur Smith of Coluui ! bus. Ohio, on the Cincinnati golf club course 24 years ano. by five healthy swats. He was not only brilliant but ! stadv. Onlv nine times did he re quire more than par for a hole, for these mistakes he more than retaliated for by baegin? 16 bii difs. His best round was the 65. five tinder par, which won him th tournament medal Thursday. His subsequent scores were 71-69 and a 68 today. Smith's Putting found Not So km1 Putting ruined Smith's hopes of catching Armour today. His drives were spectacular and his ) pitches far but bis putting touch ! was lost when a mediocre stroke j on the carpet would have given j him birdies and at least par, forc ing him to take a pair of 7t's to day, which was good golf but hardly his type on such a course as Ozaukee. Only once did th "Joplin ghost" get started dur ing the tournament and that was during the Qualifying test when be scored a Sti to be second to Ar mour for the medal. On his second round he got a 73. his worst score of the week. Willard Hutchison, the only dark horse to laud well up among the leaders shot four steady rounds 69-72-71-71 while Sar azen lost what was a good oppor tunity to overtake Smith by los ing his temper on the putting green. Abe Espinosa of Chicago, th defending champion, blew up to day to take 76 strokes in the morning and 77 in the afternoon for a 295 total. It was inflicted on the boys Just when they were the softest, and when the ground was the hardest. We've seen players out for tha season with injuries, Just for that. The idea, apparently, wasn't so much to tenu'li the candidates that particular phase of tbe game, but to Range their intes tinal fortitude. It also had thv effest of automatically reduc ing tho squad without posting a list of names on tbe bulletin board. 1
