F1ETLLNC CASE DECIDED;
GOES AGAINST PORTLAND
&Sy United Press Leased wire)

y United Press Leased Wire)
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE
Oakland-Portland baseball games
played on September %, 20 and 80,
in which Gus Hetling participated,
were declared forfeited today to
Oakland by Judge Graham, presi-
dent of the Pacific Coast league.
The ruling of President Graham
means that the two clubs affected
today have the following percent
ages:
Won. Lost. PC.
Oakland ....... 100 SO .56S
Portland ........ SO rs .563
Portland loses a comfortable lead
and falls into second place, but is
H3ll within striking distance of the
Cdklanders.
Judge Graham's decision in part
follows:
Manager Wolverton, of the Oak
land baseball club has protested
the games played between the
Portland and Oakland clubs at the
city of Portland on September %,
20 and 80, 1910. upon the ground
that one Gus Hetling, who played
with the Portland baseball club in
those games, was ineligible to play
therein, he having signed con-
tract with the Spokane club of the
Northwestern league, and having
played with said Spokane club un-
til the playing season IN that
league closed; and that under the
rules of organized baseball the said
Hetling was Ineligible to play cham
pionship ball n another league dur
ing the same season.
"The law covering this Is found
in the national rules which the Pa
cific Coast league has solemnly
sworn to. 1t provides that players
are prohibited Joining any other
club or clubs for the purpose OF
participating in championship
games after the close Of the season
of the league to which they are un-
der reservation. Clubs are also
prohibited from employing any
such players in championship
games.
THAT Hetling signed contract
with Spokane and played champion
ship ball with that club during its
playing season of 1910, which
closed on or about September 25,

COLLEGE TEAM
NOT STRONG

Spokane college football team
goes to Occur d'Alene Friday Of
this week for the first game of the
season, and according to Coach j.
F. Waell, the boys got not with the
hope of winning. but with strong
determination to hold the score
down as low as possible.
The team is absolutely green, &C.
cording to the coach. as practically
every man on the team Is new at
the game. The boys are big and
strong and fast. however. and Wall
expects to have his team developed
into a strong football machine be-
fore the season Is over. At pres
ent, however, he says the bunch
would be a joke against any of the
Inland Empire teams or even
against Spokane High.
The coach In making these state
ments, is by no means seeking to
disparage his team, but is merely
contradicting reports which have
been circulated to the effect that
the Spokane college bunch was
composed OF wonders, and should
beat practically any team they may
60 against.
With all new material II Is prac'
| tically impossible to build win
ming team the first season, says
Wall, and he wants no false hopes
raised by incorrect reports OF his
proteges.
