I SEATTLE, Sept. 2 0-(JP)-Seat-tle's Coast league baseball season ended yesterday, but after all the reports and rumors had been sift edj today. It appeared the boys were still in there pitching. Development)! flew thick and fast. First, Johnny Bassler, soft spoken manager of the Seattle Indians, was "fired" by President William H. "Bald Bill" Klepper for what Klepper called insubor dination, Bassler had insisted on allowing "Kewpie" Dick Barrett to : hurl both games of yester day's doubleheader. r Barrett won both games and earned a 1500 bonus, $250 for winning 18 games and $250 for winning 20 games. Klepper had told Bassler to pitch Rookie Ma rion Oppelt in the second game. Bassler was reported to have shoved . Klepper from the club house, insisting on pitching whom he pleased. Klepper was not available for comment today, but Royal Brougham, P o i t -1 ntelllgencer snorts editor, said the club presi dent had retired with a badly dis colored eye as a result of an early-morning altercation with one of the Seattle players. Brougham also reported E. Lloyd Nelson, prominent Seattle business man and sportsman, stepped into the picture by paying back salaries of the players, and taking over the contracts of Dick Oyselman, third baseman; Eddie Fernandas, catcher; Barrett and A'"T Strange, shortstop, as collateral.-'-" t Seattle directors considered an of fev for the club's stock submit ted rj E.

Philadelphia 8-1, Pittsburg 1-8 Is By RON GEMMELL Pitcher Dick Barrett, of the Seattle Indians, did a neat job of iron-man twirling against league-leading Sacramento Sun day when he set the Senators down in both games of the double bill for his 19 th and 20th wins of the year. For this gritty feat, in which the Sacs were allowed but three runs in the 16 innings, Barrett received for himself the $250 his contract called for in bonus-money for chalking up 20 wins, and Bill Klipper, they say, received a shiner. Get Em Beavers. If Manager Sweeney was In shape to take his regular torn at the platter during the Shaughnessy playoff that the Beavers finally found their way into by dint of sinking the Oaks twice Sunday, we'd say the Sweeneymen might .walk off with Coast league honors yet. O Oregon, Maybe. To Oregon and UCLA go the honor, if there be such entailed, of opening hostilities in the ever tougher Pacific Coast conference at Los Angeles Friday night. If the Webfoots, who are, on paper at least, better than last year, play like they did against the Huskies in Portland in '36, we say they'll come back with a win. If they put up the same brand of back-country, bush-league foot balL displayed against the Uclans a year ago, they'll come back with another one of those laughable, double-digit to 0 shellackings. Up to "Vow" Boys. Taking into consideration that the Uclan line is a ques tionable factor, being almost entirely green this year, the fact that John Warren's fresh man "vow" boys are making regulars from Oregon's dismal '36 aggregation dig in their cleats for starting berths, plus the advantage, with the Dncks, of the fracas being played at night, under lights, well . . . we won't give any odds, but well take Oregon for Friday night. O OSC, for Sure. Despite the injury jinx that has hindered Oregon State during the past week, and despite the report ed wealth of material Ted Bank is supposed to have up from last year's freshman eleven, we be lieve Kolberg. Gray & Co. will be sufficient to handle the Vandals Saturday by 18 points. O Onl Veteran End. The only experienced end on "Spec's" roster this autumn is George Abbot, who has earned two stripes, and will be competing for his fourth and last year. Xot a flashy player, this 17.Y-pounl wingman, who hails from Portland, is always in there battling. Pesky Tops. Thus we, have the two major Oregon elevens winning their first two starts of this season to post a 1000 per cent. Now. if they can do as well by us until the Bearcats meet the Staters November 6, and Spec's men can hand the Orange that lons-looked for defeat, mebbeso Willamette will emerge Pacific coast champs.

Since Washington had a nine-point advantage carried over from the spring match at Inver ness, Portland, the northerners won by 17 points for the year. The management of the Cowee man course had "toughened" it J for the interstate match, placing the cups in tricky spots and set ting the tees back. The grass was also rather long and as a result par withstood all attacks, Bud Haskell of the Washington team, medalist, getting a 71, one over. A considerable gallery watch ed Bud Ward, national amateur semi-finalist, and Bob Taylor of the Oregon team. Their match was a close one, all even after the 16th. Ward took the 17th with a long sidehtll putt for a birdie and they halved the 18th, Ward thus winning two points. Taylor won the second nine. Miller Rallies A notable comeback was turned in by Dr. Verne Miller of Oregon. After losing the first nine to Frank Sether by the margin of the latter's long putt on the ninth, Miller was four down and five to go on the second nine, then won the last five holes to win that nine and halve his match. The home - and - home matches will be repeated next year. Scores were: Oregon - "Washington Taylor 73 1.

While a "preview" game week-end would have been just what the doctor ordered as far as the Willamette coaches, who are anxious to see some of the new recruits under fire, are concerned, plenty of scrimmage may iron out some of the glaring weaknesses now evident in the freshmen ranks. Much of this week's sessions will consist of liberal doses of formation work, in addition to scrimmage, with particular em phasis on aerial plays, according to Keene. Freshmen linemen es pecially, are due for a thorough going over in an effort to find replacements for the veterans lost through graduation and ill ness. The eleven men who appear to be getting the starting call at this early date are: Yada and Hogen- son, guards; Schmidt, center; Sirnio and Kahle, tackles; Abbot and Baird, ends; Gallon, quarter; Weisgerber, full; and Beard and Bennett, halfbacks. Of this tenta tive team, only Baird Is not a veteran. Baird transferred from Eastern Oregon Normal where he played under Bob Quinn.
