The liue-up that was used last Sunday will face the Kilpatricks again tomorrow with the exception of the battery where Gill will bo replaced by Huuser and Burham will perform on the mound. Huuser was out of last Sunday 's game on account of a cracked rib though he replaced Kasninrk late in the game in the outfield. The work of Gill, the high school catcher, behind the bat, was up to standard but Gill caught a good game but he has not had the experience of ilauser, w ho has cavorted about various fcaseball diamonds for several years. . Jones will work at first ouse and Humphles will cover the keystone sack. .Miller, who had some bad luck last Sun day will still boss the short pasture. Aliller was credited with an error on the official score last Sunday but this was later changed though .Miller did not receive credit for the change in the tory of the gaane. Miller tossed one into tho dirt to Jones at first base and the error was given to Miller for a wild throw but tho scorer later concluded that Jones should have snared tho louud and gave the error to the first baseman. "Wilson is still under protest and it is not likely that he will be able to play in tomorrow's game at third. Bell, Alickel and one other outfielder yet to ha selected will make up the trio of r'lychasers. The game will be called promptly at 3 o'clock unless some whim of the weather man sends down a few diamond drips to postpone the ball game and am tae corn crop.

Grantland Rice Tells . of Great Pitching Year Big Pitching Years "What is considered a big average number of games for a pitcher to work in through a season?". queries If. O. F. Hounding up an average is no simple task, but the high run seasons of lead ing pitchers might offer some line on the subject, says Grantland Rice, the sport wr::-.'. Matthewson's hardest season was in I9dS, vtlen he took part in u6 ws His next fattest campaign was in 1911, when he took part in 4N games. Math ewHin has pitched in 40 games or more in nine of his 16 seasons. Ed Walsh was the long-distance king of them all. Iu 1 90S Walsh took active part in 06 games, nearly half the bat ties fo::(.ht. It is noteworthy that in 1U0S, tne two years Matty and Waish and White Sox were both beaten out of the pennant bv one game, in 1911 Walsh took part in 55 gnmes and he toiled in 02 eam in 1912. No wonder he passed out as a star before his prime was over. They pitched his arm off and his heart out because he was willing to shoulder the burden. Walter Johnson's two tough seasons were 50 games in 1912 and 01 games in 1914. Johnson has pitched in 40 games or more every season since 1908. Alexander s big vear was last season when he worked in 49 games. Big Alex has worked in from 46 to 49 games each yea, he has been with the Philies, showing the general con sistency of his endurance. Larry Cheney worked in 54 games for the t ubs in 1916 and .i0 games in 1913. In discussing pitchers the wondor vork of Eddie Plank should not be fo-gotten. Plank has never been call ed upon to carry the burdens that Walsh, Mathewson and Johnson have carried but the remarkable part is that at 41 he is as effective as he was at 25. Plank and Cy Young arc the on ly two pitchers we know of who have staved in the gam. the chamber will be about 30x100 feet and will house the machinery. It w ill be of rough construction. Hetting tanks will also be built on the property leased. Water for rettine the flax will be pump ed from the river. Eugene Bosse, the expert who is su pervising the planting and growing of the crop and who will also supervise the manufacturing operations, has a flax mill at Salem, and this will be moved here as soon as the building is in shape to house It. It is the Intention of the Chamber of Commerce to have the mill ready for operation by August 1, when it is ex pected tho flax will begin to come in. The flax planted on several different tracts Is now up and growing and the prospects are that there will be a good yield. In a short time a list will be furnish ed of the names of farmers planting flax, giving the location of each tract of ground so that any of the citizens of Eugene orVarmers in I.sne county may visit them and see what a field of flax looks like.
