PAGE SIX The OREGON STATESMAN, Sako. Oregon, Friday Morning, October 11, 1929 rut W FCTOf comjmts Pat Dundee could fighting main events nearly a year ago. have been in Salem That Is, if he had shown the tuff the first -time he fought, that he did Wednesday night. Fans who have good memor ies will recall Pat's first appear ance in the local Ting. He was matched agalnat Spud Murphy, who wasn't so hot anyway; and pud in one of those wild rushes managed to catch Pat squarely with a left to the pit of the tomach, and Pat heard the bir dies twittering. That defeat, toupled, with his style which didn't eatch the fans' fancy, lueered him right from the start. Those who saw Dundee pumping upholstered mittens, into Jack Kentworth's face Wednesday night could hardly realize this was the same Pat who crumpled under the Irish Ktato's onslaught a year ago. illars to doughnuts Spud ' can't do it now. As usual when Jackie Watten t berger and one of the Ambrose .?oy3 meet there's a lot of dis satisfaction with the result. Lloyd had the bet of the early rounds. Mel Brown taught him a new trick; he would swing down with his left, knocking down Jackie's guard, and then smack through with his right to the face. Lloyd was tired at the end, but still going. A draw wouldn't have hurt. Jackie got the J 10 prize, because that was the way It was put op; the winner of ;the jbest bout. When it was Announced Uint the sport writers at the ring aide would award the prize!, there was a chorus of boo?4. Tliat didn't bother us we've been booed before. Bat later we found out it was a handful of printers who did the dirty work the gang we had handed free passes a couple of hours before. Those boys will have to get down on their knees be fore they get any more. Bring two Portland fighters In here and let 'em murder each other, and still the fans would be suspicious. The fans were all with Bob Ha gan in his fight against McRae all but the railroad men. McRae's nappy way ol licking up his keels looked like grandstand stuff- that -probably was the rea aon. We didn't know till the next day why Hagan didn't crown the big switchman, but anyway this was ihe reason; Hagan received cuff under the ear in the sec. ond stanza that -paralyzed his right arm, and he couldn't have brushed a fly off McRae's nose from then on. But long as it was a draw, we figure the fans would appreciate a rematch. Bob Steele looked like tlie goods. He as Iota of action, and Cliff Wetzel will tell you he also carries a punch. McRae's little boys put on a nice exhibition. The younger one, Allan, takes to it more naturally than his ten year old brother, and he shows also that he has been coached. Once in a while he re membered to pnnch Btraight In stead of swinging. To set back to oar favorite object, Willamette and Oregon will tangle on the gridiron Again Saturday at Eugene. No body concedes the Bearcats a chance, even though McEwan has announced that he will start his reserves and not even have the regulars In uniform. It's only two weeks now since we were hearing that the re serves were -better than the re gulars. The subs walked all ov er Pacific after the regulars had been held nearly even. Past scores don't give Oregon too much edge. It's true that Willamette hasn't beaten Oregon since 1913, but two games since then have been close. In 1921 Willamette held Oregon to a ' to 3 score, and in 123 they play ed a scorless tie. Willamette crossed Oregon's goal but the play wasn't allowed. Bnt times have changed, and the big colleges have more ad vantage bow, especially in the matter of running up big scores. The game Is faster and requires more reserves - and the' little schools don't have them. Our own Fod Maison will re feree the game Saturday. He ap pears to be breaking into the big league as an official this year. He ought to be unbiased in the game. He is an Oregon man played there a few years ago and was a cracking good end and he lives in Salem. O. S.C.Rooks to Play Chemawa Indian Eleven OREGON STATE COLLEGE " Corvallis.

NEWLAND Associated Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. (AP) Hollywood's Stars came back with a bang today and trounced the San Francisco Mis sion Reds, 11-5. ia-the third game of championship playoff for the 1929 Pacifle coast league pennant. For two innings the second half winners of the split season were blanked by Herman Pillette, but from that time on It was a carni val of base hits until the, tall Mis sion right hander was yanked from the box in the seventh. Cleo Carlyle Clouts Two Circuit Blngles Led by Cleo Carlyle. center fielder, whose four hits included two homers, a triple and a single, the Stars pounded Pillette and Harry Krause for sixteen safeties. Carlyle's batting feat was only a little more spectacular than that of Frank Shellenbach, winning pitcher, who hit a homer and sin gled twice to drive In three runs. The. Missions went into the lead with three runs In the second frame but Shellenbach settled down and pitched steady baseball after that. A Mission rally in the ninth, after two pinch hitters had failed to deliver, netted one tally Shieks Get Two Runs in Third Hollywood pushed over two runs In the third, Shellenbach's homer into the left field bleachers scoring Bassler ahead. Two more followed in the fourth and fifth frames. Carlyle started the fourth inning swatfest with a tri ple and came home on Heath's single. Heath scored on Shellen bach's single. In the fifth.

Carlyle's four ply drive in the eighth scored funk. Crowd of Only lSOO Persons on Hand Today's crowd was less than during the preceding two days with around 1500 persons in the park.

(Special) Woodburn is bUled to meet the powerful "West Linn eleven on their home gridiron Fri day and Coach Wolf expects his boys to upset some of the dope that has been circulated about the West Linn team. Last year Woodburn held West Linn to a nothing to nothing tie and this year Milwaukle. one of the strongest teams in this sec tion of the state ran up the same kind of a score against them. Coach Wolf is preparing a fierce attack on West Linn and intends to send his team through the sea son undefeated. Newberg spoiled such a record last year. Superintendent Bain has broken all precedents and announced that all students in good standing who had a way to go might attend the game. Heretofore students were only allowed to attend the New berg or Silverton games, which one happened to be away from home. How About iODBMTO V; J" Xot so fbnsf asm In the hectic history of fbtlcuffs.

Schissler used 34 players against Southern Cali fornia last week in the first con ference game.

The game was negotiated last spring and athletic authorities thought everything was settled, bat this week when a contract was forward ed to Columbia, the answer came back that the Irish had under stood otherwise and had scheduled another game for this date.

But the Eh system does not depend on one man. Should the 145-pound Booth be laid up with injuries, he will have a stellar substitute. However, Albie seems to be the Eli ace judging from freshman and early season per formances. Will he justify expec tations like Charley DeSaulles did at Yale about thirty years ago? Or will he disappoint as did the magnetic "Fido" Kempton and Charley O'Hearn of more recent Eli teams? Has Yale "a backfield Hinkey" a New Haven edition of Eddie Mahan in Albie Booth? The Georgia game (which will divert Rome's roads to Athens!) should do much to answer those questions. They proposed a game the fol lowing Saturday, and this may be arranged. Salem high Is making hurried attempts to bring some team here for a practice game to morrow, but had reported no sue cess up to Thursday night. CUBS GET STARS AT FIRE SALE FIGURES By WALTER T. BROWN AP Feature Service Writer CHICAGO (AP) Taking the rubber band off the wallet has been one of the things the Cub management has done with alac rity, but this year's National league champions do not repre sent more than $400,000 in hard cash. Rogers Hornsby was a fancy addition at $240,000, considering the cash value of players in vol ved. The Cubs bought him from Boston. On the other hand, Guy Bush the hurling ace. was a bargain $1,200. and Hack Wilson, the pugnacious one. was almost gift, $5,000. Pat Malone, who moved his '"suit case from Minne apolis, cost $30,000. and Bill Veeck laid down $30,000 to the American association for Woody English, collegiate-looking short stop. Norman McMillan, the hot cor ner Inhabitant, came from the as sociation for $5,000 and Los An geles received $10,000 for Charlie Root and Sheriff Blake. Art Nehf was a bargain buy, but Hal Carl son cost $30,000, Including the players that went to Philadelphia in the deal. Veeck gave Indianapolis $12,' 000 for Riggs Stephenson, and KikI Cuyler set the bank balance back S20.000. Cliff Heathcote cost nothing as he was traded for Max Flack, and Flack was the property of the Federal league club, which the Cub management bought. Heath cote came from St. Louis.' Gon aales and Taylor, the catchers were Christmas presents, from St Lonls ana Boston. Charlie Grimm has been worth many times the $35,000 that the Cabs gave Pittsburgh for him. The Wilson trade was a David Haram deal, and can be credited to Joe McCarthy, the manager. Hack had been tried by McGraw and shipped to Toledo, with an option In the New York office, Through a clerical error the Giants failed to exercise their op tion within the time limit. Mc Carthy, managing Louisville, but under contract to the Cubs for the next year, notified Veeck, and Wilson was picked up for the draft price, $5,000. PHULP1 GREETS T :ntire City Alive With Ar dent Fans Bent on Winning Bv EDWARD J. NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. (AP) Philadelphia loosenea ns vocal cords today and poured forth upon Connie Mack an I his great team of young ball players all the noise and enthusiasm that can be stored up waiting 15 years for a champion. Into a city that throbbed with an undercurrent of joy and ex citement, tempered on the surface with calm satisfaction, the an- McGlHicuddy led his huskies this afternoon. They came fresh from the world series battlefield in Chi cago, full of pepper, dash and op timism, eager to trounce the cuds as soundly here as they did in the first two games in the midwest. A happy boisterous crowd mot- bed the station as the special train clanged into the yards. They roared and rushed for Jimmy Dykes, the plump, smiling third baseman, as he popped his head first from the players' car to catch the lay of the land. They cheered Jimmy Foxx, young first baseman who has clouted two home runs and a flock of lesser base hits so far; Al Simmons, the socking left fielder; Mickey Cochrane, Mule Haas, Max Bishop, Lefty Gorve, Earnshaw and all the rest.' Wild Roar Greets Ehmke's Appearance Then they caught sight ot the blonde, head of Lanky Howard Ehmke, Connie's surprise package of the series, the veteran who sank the Cubs and experts alike by striking out 13 of the enemy on the opening day. The roar that greeted Howard rattled the ear drums of a couple of hundred fans jammed in the covered pass that led into the station. In all the excitement everyone looked for Connie Mack, the tall, lean, gray haired leader. He was not with the players nor was he in any of the cars directly ahead of the Athletics carriages. It seemed as if the team Con nie Mack spent 15 years to build into championship calibre was coming home without the 67 year old, veteran sharing in the tri umph. For a few minutes it seem ed a most definite rebuke to the fickleness of baseball's fandom. Breaking up of Old Team Recalled Fifteen years ago Connie Mack shattered probably the greatest team in baseball history, the old White Elephants, because of their lack of appeal to some of the self same fans now crowding to greet his new warriors. That team won four American league pennants in five years behind the great hurl ing of Chief Bender, Jack Coombs, and Eddie Plank. It boasted the first $100,000 infield in Home Run Baker. Stuffy Mclnnis. Eddie Collins and Jack Barry. The chil liness of fandom forced the scat tering of that great ball club. Connie watched the boisterous reception for the youthful team that in one year stirred up more enthusiasm in the Quaker city than the old team created in their entire careers. Then he tried to sneak unnoticed from the front of the train. He was half away before the crowd spotted him. He smiled at them, raised his hat, and hurried away. Whole City Crowded With Eager Fans The Cubs, without a word to say, slipped into town with scarce ly 200 fans forming a reception committee. Silently they went to their hotel to rest. There was lit tle rest, however, in any hotel. Every hostelry in the city was jammed to capacity, the visitors and hosts alike intent on talk ing and thinking baseball. Although all registered seats in Shibe Park, with a capacity of 38,000 have been sold for all three games scheduled here, a line began to form at midnight last night at the bleacher ticket office where 1,200 dollar seats will go on sale at 9 a. m., tomorrow. Through the night, 30 fans hud dled in overcoats, played cards, hung over small wood fires, or openly amused themselves "shoot ing craps." Hundreds were in line tonight. About the ball park the work of finishing temporary bleachers on roof tops went ahead under the direction ot building inspect ors. But on every side is the con viction that the excitement won't last not beyond the fourth game Saturday anyway. The general opinion is that by that time the extra "x" Jimmy Foxx carries on the end of his name will merely mark the spot where the body of the Cubs can be found. Leslie Will Play Aumsville Eleven The Leslie junior high school football team will open its sea. son a week from today, playing the Aumsville high eleven at Aumsville. Coach Gurnee Flesh er has a fair turnout, bat Is handi capped by a late start. No scrimmaging has been done by the squad yet. Some of his promising backfield candidates include French, Speight, Cannon, Bush, Arnot and Grime3. Possibilities for regular positions in the line include Flagg( Burns, Earl and Halver son, although1 Coach Flesher has not definitely picked any member of his eleven. - Trojans, Huskies Play Second Time LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10 It will be the "rnbber" when the TJn- 1 iversity of Southern California and U. of Washington elevens meet Saturday at Seattle. The teams have met only-twice before and each has won a game. In Ift23, Coach Elmer Henderson's Tiojan team went to Seattle and took a 22 to 0 beating, but South em California evening matters in 1927 when a Husky eleven was trounced 33 to 13 by a Jones coached S. C. varsity. 2 Members Boxing Body Resign Jobs PORTLAND. Ore.. Oct. 10. (AP) Thomas A. Sweeney and Dr. C. G. Sabin, both members of the Portland boxing commission and the American Legion, submit ted their resignations from the commission to Mayor George L. Baker today. Both declare they had planned to resign for some time but not "while the commis sion was under fire." They said they decided to remove themselves when an Investigation of the com mission by the city council 'was concluded yesterday. Members of the boxing commis sion appeared before the city council yesterday and explained through Frank J. Lonegran. chair man, the order of the commis sion's finances. The hearing had been urged by veterans' organi zations, whose charities are en titled to 60 per cent of the net profit, from boxing shows. Commenting on the resignations of Sweeney and Dr. Sabin, John A. Beckwith, commander of the rocal Legion post, declared he ''hoped this step by the American Legion members of the commis sion would be an example to the rest of the members. He sug gested that a complete change in membership would benefit the commission.

TFi Reserves Gone and Regulars Crippled is Keene's Bear Story Commenting upon the announce ment of Captain J. J. McEwan, head football coach at TJ. of O., that he would start his reserves ia Saturday's game against Willam ette at Eugene, Coach Spec Keen of ' Willamette said Thursday he would do th same thins; if he had any reserves, but with his already small squad depleted by injuries and withdrawals, he has no choice but to use his regulars and take a chance on their being incapaci tated for the more important Northwest conference contents which follow. Engebretsen, regular quarter back who showed to such advan tage as a pass flinger in the Ore gon State game, was hurt in the practice game last week end and will not be able to play in this game. Benjamin, first string end, has not been in uniform since the Oregon State contest. Promising Players Leave University Losses this week included Pack ard, an unusually promising tackle candidate; Barrett, who performed capably at halfback against Oregon State; Anderson, an end. and Pruitt, another spee dy backfield man. All four with drew from the university without giving any reasons, although it was reported that two left to en ter another school in this state. Coach Keene .announced Thurs day that his team would use noth ing but straight football against Oregon. It won't be necessary for him to issue any instructions to this effect, for with a compara tively green squad he lias found it necessary to proceed Elowly in building up an attack, and the squad is still struggling to master a few simple plays. Every Available Man To Be Taken on Trip Practically all of his men who are in condition to play will he taken on this trip, Coach Keene announces, and it is probable that all or nearly all of them will get Into the game against Oregon. Heavy workouts terminated Wednesday; dummy scrimmage was the nearest to strenuous work indulged in Thursday, and today session will be still lighter. With the attack still far from perfected, Willamette has little hope of scoring against Oregon, and in the absence of Engebret sen, the long kicks that held Ore gon State at bay also may not be available. Cardinal has been do ing some good punting, but how he will perform in a game remains to be seen. Night football sounds like some thing ultra-modern, but gas lights illuminated the field for a game between Southwest Missouri Teachers college and the Cherokee Indian team In 1904.
