The Willamette Collegian has one called "Sportorlal." and tbe Salem high Clarion came oat yes terday with a brand new column. "Dope." written by Dick Baker. .We even saw one recently la the dignified Corvallls Gazette-Times, bat it doesn't run every day, so we till bold tbe doubtful bonor of writing tbe enly daily, locally written sports column in tbe state outside of Portland. Football season opens here today after all. with Salem high playing a sqnad of Oregon State Rooks. Or, if yon count Jon lor high football, it started yes terday whem Parrish played Turner high' The visitors cap ltalized on good break and won 0 to 0. A quaint old Salem custom was exemplified once more at that game. - Everybody, apparently, has to get right out on the field and help the players, last as if. as every coach knows, there were n't enough spectators m uniform. Tbe crowd gathers in a circle, giv ing the teams just barely room to lino op. If either team tries aa ead run, or make more than three yards through the lin, some " spectators arc sure to ge tram pled on. And back behind the crowd, a great big grandstand goes to waste. It's always been that way here. - The same thing holds good at practices, only, more so. It's cer tainly fine, the interest the junior high and senior high boys take In their football teams. There's Quite a crowd out every night. But they get right in among the play ers, and even ride their bicycles up into the battle line. .We watched both sQuada scrimmaging the other night, and time after time the man with the ball would have to stop to avoid smashing Into a bicycle. We saw seme strapping big fellows en the sidelines Friday afternoon razzing the . Parrish . team. "Probably they were alumni.. If any of them are still In school, they haven't any business criticizing the team. They ought to be out there set- "t'ng the example. ' Parriah did pull some boners. The boys used the forward pass when they shouldn't have, and then forgot all about using it when in scoring distance. They irade up a lot of plays Coach Fletcher never taught them.. But football can't be learned in an boor, or even three weeks. The boys played a bang-up game all the way, and haTO nothing to be mournful over. The tackling was crude, but ev ery time a Turner runner went down, he lit hard. They'll leans the niceties of that business later. .There are soma big games on the schedule today, and we have plenty of chances to go wrong. Well pick this gang of O. 8. C. Rooks to beat Salem high, Idaho to beat Montana, California to beat Washington State, U. S. C. to beat Washington, and maybe we'll have to run a whole column of .black rules tomorrow. PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 11. CAP) Declaring he has a "great Opportunity to better himself." Bill Rodgers, manager of the Portland baseball dab since the middle of last year, wired his res ignation: to President Tern Turner today from Los Angeles. Rodg ers' plans ware divulged neither by himself nor Turner. It was reported that Turner al ready has decided on Rodgers' successor but he refused to reveal the prospective Portland man. ager'a game Asked if it was Bill Essick, scout far the White 8ox, he said, I can neither affirm nor deny; It.

This game In addition to being the first of the season, will mark Salem high's return to good stand ing in the state high school ath letic association after Us suspen sion last spring. The opposition today is not a state association team, but Salem high is back un der official sanction of the organ isation. This fact is expected to give Salem high sports added im petus, and that such is the case, has already been noted la the un usually large turnout of football candidates. The squad has dwindled rapid ly from the 40 or more who were out at first, but there are still two full teams with a number of ex tras for replacement, and that Is a better showing than has been the rule in the past. The hard fighting eleven from Turner high school defeated Par- rish junior high on the gridiron at Olinger field Friday afternoon. 6 to 0. The teams were evenly matched both as to weight and speed, but Turner won through taking advantage of the breaks. Early In the first quarter Par rish waa forced back close to Its own goal line by a penalty, and then fumbled. Turner recovering the ball and then smashing Its way for a short distance to the lone touchdown. In the third period Par rish had a similar chance wnen Turner s safety tumbled a punt, but could not advance the needed distance. A little later a Turner man Inter cepted a Parrish forward pass and ran f yards to the goal line, but Turner had been offside on the play and the ball was called back.

It looked like the well kept greens of an exclusive golf club. There was not a sign in sight except his one: "Be a good sportsman: don't throw cushions and paper." To the old timer who had not seen a world's series game In the home of the Mack men in 15 long years becausa there were none, the world's series appearance of the famous park was quite different. The place has grown in the 15 years, like everything else. What used to be the uncovered bleach ers are now high priced covered grand stand rents. The capacity of the park In 1914 was 20,653, today the attendance was a little over 30,000 Including sport writers and telegraph oper ators. When the A's beat the Cubs in Philadelphia 19 years ago, the attendance at the two games ran ged 24.000 to 24,000, but that was at Columbia Park, the A's old home where tbey allowed specta tors on the playing field. Earnshaw got a big band as he left the field at the end of the second inning. Hack Wilson and four away are now scheduled as follows: October 11, Bearerton at Bearerton; October 18, Dayton at Amity: November 1, Woodburn at Woodburn, November 11; Mc Mlnnvllle at McMinnvlIle.

In the first four innings, the Cubs got only two hits both by Hack Wilson. Hack's old home is at Leipervllle on the edge of Philadelphia and the natives from that community at the game gave him a hand when he took his po sition in center field in the A's halt of the fourth. It was more or less mechanical baseball up to the sixth when the Cubs began to populate the base lines. It was the first real change the Cub fans had to cheer. Bush started the activity with a pass. It was a real opportunity for the National leaguers and they took it Result, three runs and the game. It was a tight hole that Bush got out of In the seventh.

There was not much of a cheer when the last man was thrown out, thus giving the National lea gue Its first victory over the American In eleven starts.
