COMMENTS
The treat "world series" opsns
today. You might expect us to
launch at the juncture Into a leng
thy and profound discussion of
the Athletics and the Cubs and
their chances, but as Will Rogers
says, all we know Is what we read
In the papers, and we don't like
to pretend knowledge that we
don't possess. Unless pretty hard
up. for topics, we stick to subjects
we know something about.
Of coarse that lets us talk
about Pop Warner's Stanford
teams, because we saw one of
them two years ago; and about
Bagy's Huskies, because we
saw them three years ago; and
if the Giants or the Yanks were
in the world series," we might
talk about it, because we spent
23 ?i hours in New York back
in 1918; but we've never been
in - Philadelphia, and our troop
train, while if stopped in Chi
cago, Tisited only the- stock
yards, and that was at nlht.
We know how Chicago smells,
btat not how it looks. .
So we'll Just pick the Athletics
to win the series and let it go at
that. Not basing it on the way
Chi smelled in 1918, you under
stand. '

The walloping Oregon took
at Palo Alto Saturday doesn't
help Willamette's chances
against the Webfoots in their
game next Saturday at Engene.
McEwan's boys will be primed
to tear up the earth and show
that they can play football, af
ter all.
The principal' thing the lenro'n
yellow will hare on its mind will
be running up a score bigger than
the ne Oregon State made against
Willamette a fetf weeks ago.
That was 37 to 6. If our guess
is right, old Oregon won't let
down any until and unless it
beats that mark.
- Let's see, now. Oregon beat
Pacific 58 to O; Washington
beat Whitman 47 to 0, and Ida
ho beat Whitman 41 to 7. Col
lege of Idaho lost to Kastern
Oregon Normal, which the week
before had a hard time beating
a high school team. Previous
ly, Washington State had beat,
en C. of I. 48 to 0. Up to date
Willamette, of the Northwest
conference teams, has come
nearest to holding a Coast con
ference team even.
Whitman's downfall is th big
surprise, it makes us more than
a trifle suspicious. Borleske has !
aittays been a threat, at least, for
Washington and Washington
Sikte. Maybe he's been using his
third stringers against these big
teima, saving his best men for the
Northwest conference.
, Here 'tis nearly the middle
of October, and the Northwest
conference pluy hasn't started
jet. Linfield and Whitman are
scheduled to play this week end
itt Walla Wulia. The rest of
the teams will still be marking
time. Pacific plays Albany col
Hxe at Forest Grove; College of
lilaho plays U. of Idaho, south
ern branch.
Yes, they're late getting start
ed, but the following week end
they'll be at it hammer and tongs.
Whitman and College of Idaho
will play at Caldwell; Linfield
a ad Pacific will play at McMian
vllle. Willamette and Puget
dnnd will still be coasting; the
Bearcats against Albany and the
rJacoma outfit against Ellensburg
normal.
Then come three weeks of
hot and heavy competition for
Willamette, all on the home
field; College of Idaho October
35, which Is Friday; Pacific No.
ember 2, and Linfield Armis
tice day.
We didn't see the Oregon
Stanford game, but the managing
editor did. lie says the sports
writers were a bit charitable in
classing the Webfoots with Pop
Warner's outiit at all, or writing
of; much margin on the basis of
weather. If Oregon had a college
foMball team. Stanford has the
world champions, in his opinion.
Tlje .way Pop's boys worked com
bination reverse-forward-lateral
pate plays was a marvel.

Ike Boone Leash Mission Reds Against Hollywood
POST SEASON
Hot Stove League Busy Try
ing to Dope Out Re
sults of Game
By RUSSELL J. NEWLAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.
(AP) Led by the mighty Ike
Boone, leading batsman, and fore
most home run hitter of the Pa
cific coast league, the San Fran
cisco Mission Reds will line up
here tomorrow against the Holly
wood Stars in the opening game
of the post season series for the
1929 pennant.
Boone ended the regular season
with an unofficial batting average
of .407, which betters by three
points any previous record in the
league's history. His home run
mark of 57 is only three short of
the circuit swatting feat turned by
Tony Lazzeri while with Salt Lake
City in 1925.
Problem Too Hard
For Hot Stove League
But whether the big outfielder
and his Mission team mates car
ry enough guns to silence the pep
pery Hollywood outfit is a base
ball problem that will produce
plenty of arguments from both
sides.
The Missions, first half win
ners, have the better balanced
team and possibly a shade on the
patching side. Hollywood Is a tri
fle stronger U n team batting. ?'
All of which means nothing, as
noted last Sunday when the tall
end Seattle club walloped the Mis
sions in the two final games to
prevent the locals from clinching
the pennant.
Indications are, Wflle "Red"
Killefer, Mission manager, intends
to feed the Stars considerable left
hand pitching.
Either Cole or
Ruether Will Do It
Either Bert Cole or "Dutch"
Ruether is expected to get the call.
The Stars arrive here tomor
row morning so no line on the
mound strategy was avaiable to
day. Itis believed, however that
August "Lefty" Johns, who also
flings them from the' port side,
will start. He has been effective
against the Missions all season.
The teams will play the first
three games here and the next
three in Los Angeles. Location of
a seventh game, if necessary, has
not been decided upon. A $6,000
bonus, voted by the league's di
rectors when the season was split
suddenly last July, will be divided
on a 60-40 basis.
tEADS CITY LEAGUE
The Man's Shop bowling team
went into undisputed possession of
first place in the City league Mon
day night by winning three games
from the Reo Flying Clouds. The
Elks won by an equal margin from
the Senator Food Shop, and
Schei's Clothing dropped one game
behind the Man's Shop, winning
two games out of three from the
McKay Chevrolet team.
McMullen rolled high game
score of the evening, 222. Ed
wards and Victor tied for high
series at 566.

The University of Oregon was the first to score in Its game with Stanford Saturday at Palo Alto,
but that was merely a bad omen for the Webfeet. Stanford soon got under way and the final connt was
33 to 7 in favor of "Iop" Warner's men. Above we have the" Cards registering for the first time. This
happened in the second period, the same Canto in w hich Oregon scored. Smalllng "FB" took the ball
over from the one-yard line on straight buck. He is shown at the lower left hand corner of this photo.
No. 31 is Moffatt, who converted. Heinecke (21) Is shewn evidently giving a sign that all is well. Be
low Is Kitzmiller, the "flying Dutchman" of the Oregon university eleven, leaping to attack Rothert
(with the ball) of Stanford. Kitzmiller was the big gun of the Oregon team both on offense and defense.
On the ground at the right Is FleUhhaeker of Stanford.

uniform of the New Tork Giants.
Hack Wilson played In a seven

Kikl Cuyler went the same dist

Hornsby was in seven games for
the St. Louis Cardinals. Norman
McMillan played briefly for the
Yankees while Mike Cvengros per
formed even briefer service for
the Pirates. Hike Gonzales was
eligible for service as a Giant bat
was not called on to do any catch
ing. Tom Zachary, an old man in
baseball at 22, struck a great blow
for the dignity of the elder states
men of the game when he turned
in 12 consecutive pitching victories
for the Yankees without the stig
ma f defeat becoming attached to
his pitching record.
Zachary comes from North Car

Officially his first professional
engagement was with Washington
where he did yeoman service for
six years, before being traded to
St. Louis. The Browns asked waiv

he seemed about to slip to the
minors but Washington said "no"
just In time to get him back.

Washington, however, decided to
dispense with his services to a mi
nor league club la 1928 but when
waivers were asked the Yankees
stepped In to claim him and he
reported August 23, in time to
lend a still crafty left arm to the
champions in the hectic closing
days of the race.
Just before the world series
opened last year, Zachary was ask

Petition Against Snake River
Road Filed With Inter
state Commission
The Oregon pubic service com
mission has filed a petition with
the Interstate commerce commis
sion for permission to intervent
in the application of the Idaho-
Pacific Railroad company lor a
certificate of public convenience
and necessity for the construction
of a new line of railroad in the
Snake river district in eastern
Oregon.
The public service commission
has gone on record opposed to the
railroad until such time as the so-
called east and west line between
Bend and Crane is completed.
The public service commission
dismissed the proposed investiga
tion of the charges, rules, regula
tion and practices of the West
Coast Telephone company in con
nection with telephone service
from its exchange in Beaverton to
O. B. Bennett and others in the
locality known as the Flat Iron
group in Washington county.
The commission granted the ap
plication of Multnomah county to
amend a previous order authoriz
ing impaired clearances in cer
tain cases. The commission also
granted the application of the
Willamina and Grand Ronde Rail
way company for permission to
construct and maintain a crossing
at grade approximately four miles
west of Willamina In Polk county.
An application of the Tideport
Logging company tor permission
to construct and maintain a
crossing at grade for its logging
railroad across the Jewell-Elsie
road at a point one-fourth mile
from the Jewell postoffics In
Clatsop county, also was granted.
In another order the commis
sion restricted the speed of South
ern Pclfic trains to 25 miles an
hour while crossing Market
street In the city of Salem. Ad-

Jack Kentworth and Pat Dun
dee haven't much use for each
other, in view of the remarks that
were handed about before and
after their two indecisive meetings
here. Either of them would give
a couple of toes or fingers any
thing they don't need too much in
their business to beat the other.
The other fight in which there
is more in the wind than dust and

Hagan and Dave McRae. Just

demanded in the order.

how it came about isn't altogether

have said something disparaging
about the other's ability in the
