Isn't to Davis' discredit that he
was put on skids as an incident
to the Portland ttam'g spectacular
rally, when all the other S. F.
pitchers had bftn treated the
same way. At that, only two of
Portland's runs in that game were
really chargeable to Davis. Some
of the others resulted from hits

but if there were, the scorer pro

Informal reports from Co
quille that Billy Sullivan hit a
homer and three singles were a
trifle Inaccurate. He hit two
three baggers, resulting in three
of Eugene's runs. With two men
on in the ninth, another big
chance came tip and Billy made
a mighty wallop hot a former
teammate on the Senators,
Marlow, raced away back and
snagged the ball.

wanted to play the Senators

there -was only $50 difference in

worth?
We recall three years ago when
we were managing the Bend Elks
tiiere, we didn t intend to let that
lil. and besides there were three
or four other managers working
with us but anyway, a Harris
burg team wanted to come up and
plar us, but wouldn't listen to a
60-40 split. No sir. they wanted
a hundred and a quarter, win or
hue.
You should have seen those
fellows' eyee pop out when they
looked over a crowd of well
over a thousand fans. They had
just thrown away a hundred
berries by insisting on a flat

Speaking of gate receipts, we'll
bet Tom Turner has learned some
thing I n the last week about
whether a winning team pays or
not. It's a cinch that a crowded
park more than makes up for the
difference between paying good
ball players and mediocre ones.
For years we've heard that
Portland was the bet baseball
town on the coast if given any
aort of ball team to support.
Now it's being proven. But Tur
ner, or if reports are true, the
lys back In Philadelphia who
really control the Portland club
slid along for years giving
Portland mediocre ball and
barging up losses at the gate
against the profits from deve
opiug green players and selling
them.

Sometime in July, just last month.
our typewriter turned out some
thing like this:
"If Portland's Ducks don't win
ball game pretty soon, the
acribes will have to begin figuring
out their percentage by hand;
there'll be nothing in the 'ready

What a whale of a difference

Indians Don't Have Much Ex
perienced Gridiron
Material
Necessity for bulaiing up an en
tirely new football team, is the
prospect which faces R. G. Down-
le, coach at Chemawa Indian
school, as the government insti
tution faces Its first season of
gridiron competition as a mem
ber of the state high school ath
letic association.
Nearly all of last year's regu
lars in this sport, and for that
matter In other sports, either
graduated or will not return this
fall. Coach Downle reports. The
last two years have witnessed the
graduation of a large group of
boys who had been participating
in athletics at Chemawa for three
and four years.
Nevertheless, there will be a
likely squad of youngsters ready
to report when Coach Downle is
sues the call for candidates about
September 1. Admission of Che
mawa into the state association,
assuring it ot competition on an
equal basis with other high
schools, has done much to develop
interest in athletics there; an In
terest which had begun to ebb af
ter Chemawa's halycon days of
competition with the colleges
when its students were older men
than the present crop.
The principal difficulty fore
seen by Coach Downle is develop
ing a new team this year, Is not
one of material, but of instilling
confidence in a group of compar
atively inexperienced players.
Two games with Portland high
schools will open the season, fol
lowed by a tilt against the O. S. C.
Rooks. A game with Salem high
school has been signed up for Oc
tober 16.

14TH STREET BOYS
L
Flying, swimming, running and
climbing are on the schedule of
events for boys of the Fourteenth
street playground for Friday.
Thirteen events are listed and
many of these will be run off in
three classes. The bicycle race for
newsboys will be ridden.
The events, first place in all ot
which will call for prizes for first
place, will be 50 yard dash, 100
yard dash, sack race, 25 yard
swim, free style; 25 yard swim,
backstroke; underwater swim, dis
tance; diving, kite flying, bar
chinning, rope climb, 14 feet;
high Jump and broad Jump.
The bicycle race is an annual
affair, last year drawing more
than SO entrants and with as
many expecting to enter this sea
son. Plans for an inter-club golf
tournament between members ot
the Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions
clubs were outlined at a meeting
of the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon.
T. H. Hicks, X. M. Doughton and
E. E. Bragg were named on a, com
mittee to represent that organ iia
tlon in preparing for the contest.
The suggestion of the Kiwanis
members is to have the match
without handicaps with playera
turning their score on 18 holes
played before the tournament to
determine the players against
whom they will be matched.
