The- selection of an all-vorthwcst foot hall eleven for the season of 1MB Is no easy tfk. Never before have there boon fo many woll-coached teams In the States of Oregon. Washington and Idaho, and never before have there been so many brilliant Individual players. After consultation with numerous voaches. football authorities and critics of the gridiron gam", the forogolng soloc. lions have been made, the choice boing limited to college players in good standing. . Walker (O. A. C.) for Center. Wtlkr (O. A. C.) la tlie leading man for center, although Hug (Oregon) Is a clow second to the big Corvallls man. "Walker lias never met bis master in con tern of opposing teams, although Hug cave him a battle royal in the Eugenc Corvallls game of this year. The olevon might be Htrengthened by shifting "Wal ker to tackle and substituting Hug for center, but this change would deprive the team of Ivrse. who has proved invin cible as tackle on the Idaho eleven. "Wal ker's suKrior weight givey him. an ad vantage ovei Hug. and for this reason, more than any other, he ranks first. Koosevolt and JSnbcock for Guards. Roosevelt (Idaho) and Babcock (Wash ington) played consistently at guard during the soason. Roosevelt is a star defensive player and Babcock is a ground-gniner of the first order. Phil brook (Willamette) phowod good form early In the season, but was outplavcd In the game with Corvallls. Moulien, Oregon's fr,eshmau punter, did yeoman wrvlce for his team in every game of the season, as dirt Dunlap (O. A. C.) and Sl"ridan (Idaho). Moullon's punting I ml warrants hie selection for an all Xorthwost team, but in other depart ments of the g:imc he i.o not equal to citurr Roosevelt or Babcock. Dolan and Larson Tackles. As a tackier. Dolan (O. A. C.) Is by long odds the best man of the season. His ability to carry the hall, lils con sistent defense ami his coolness are the qualities that stamp him a an idoal tickle. He also has weight, speed und endurance. Larson fluuho) plays a hard, consistent game. He has been playing with the Idaho eleven for four seasons, ar-I Is a most valuable man. Pullon (Washington). Pollard (Willamette! and 32ar' (Oregon) deserve more than pass ing mention in the selection of an nll Nrt Invest team. As a ground-gainer, iloKinney (Oregon) showed up splendidly, "but wan lamentably weak on defense! Sapp (W. A. ('.) wkk another good ground water, but was also weak on defense. Chandler's Fine Work at 12nd. The nrt and altogether the best man for an end opposition is Chandler (Ore gon). In every game of the soasan. Chan dicr's work whs eettspiouous. and. al though he Is a light man, he puts up a defense second to none on the Coast. In the recent Oregon-Multnomah game. Chandler's work shone forth like a noon day sun. and it was nothing but his ter rific tackling that saved Oregon from a worse defeat Mooros (Oregon) s with out a doubt the best offensive end of the year He is alert, fast and has all the essential qualities of a first-class end. His alertness and his timely following of the ball enabled Orejon to win her annual game from the Oregon Agricultural Col lege On defense. Moores has shown up well, but is hardly in Chandler's class in this department of the game. Cooper Emily and Griffith, the three ends of the Oregon Agricultural College, are all high grade ends, as are Ike Dowd (Washing ton) and Thomas (Idaho). Lntottrette for Quarterback. Captain Latourette (Oregon) is the best man for quarterback, ulthough Mlddleton (Idaho) is his equal in many respects. Latourettots speed, his generalship and his ability to handle punts mark him as an exceptionally clever quarterback, and. although Mlddleton is more experienced, the Oregon man has established his right to the selection. As a ground-gaining lislfback. Root (O. A. C.) looms up at the head of the procession. He Is a big man. a swift runner, and a powerful man cn defense. His playing, more than that of any other individual man. enabled the Agricultural College to run up big scores against Pullman. Wlilamctto and Seattle. Templeton (Oregon) is far and away the best deronsive halfback of the season. His fierce tackling was the feature of Oregon's game this yoar. and his gains with the ball, while not as consistent as Hoofs, were nevertheless effective. Will lams (O. A. C.) showed great speed and ability to gain ground, but his defense was weak. and. for this reason, he was relegated to the position of safctv full back. Tllley (Washington). Smith (Idaho) and Griffith (O. A. C.) nil showed good form with the ball. Salem Man for Fullback. Rader (Willamette), although a com paratively light man, proved himself the best fullback, of the season. He has a 1 way of bucking the line that puzzles his opponent, and his defensive work is far above the average. Kerron (Oregon) played a great game for his team, bat a number of bad fumbles marred his other wise good record. Abraham (O. A. C.) is a great line-plunger, but a trifle weak on defense. Another fullback who we golden opinion from the erities is Hardy CW. A. C). Second Eleven Is Strong. The second eleven, as shewn in Ue above line-up, would prove a worthy rfal for the first All-Northwest team. With Moulien to punt, "Williams, Kerrea and Griffith to carry the ball. Middlemen to run the team,, and a. line .almost as good as the first eleven; the men of .second choice would give good account of them selves. The first team would average al most 180 pounds to the man. and would be composed exclusively of veterans. The team would be strong In every department of the game, and would undoubtedly, after careful coaching, play football In any company. The aggregation might be a trifle weak at punting, although Moores and Root can boot the ball for good dis tance. A Team of All-Stars. Were the selection open to dub players as well as collegians, the line-up would be something like this: Center Overfleld CM. A. A. C). Guards Roller (S. A. C.) and Roosevelt (Idaho).

The big. husky boys from Fort Flagler furnished a good -work-out for tho Se attle Athletic Club football team this af ternoon, for the olubmon made so many long runs and touchdowns that the exer cise improved their wind. The score was 38 to 0 In favor of the clubmen, and the soldiers made their distance only twice during the entire game. Captain Kemper, fullback for the sol dlors, showed evidences of having played the game bqforc. but after he had been butted ,a few times by Wells, Roller and Council he lost considerable of his en thusiasm.

Jlcturn Prom Victory Over AVashlngton So KnlhuInstlc That They Expect to Dovn Multnomah on Gridiron. The Oregon Agricultural College feetba.ll team passed through Portland n Its way to Corvallis yesterday, hav ing1 arrived here late Friday night and leaving the foJiewlag morning fee home. The members of thu team who participated In the game nt Seattle with the University of ' Washington on Thanksgiving day show the marks of a hard battle, for hardly a man oh tho eleven could boast of an un marked oo'untenance. In splto of thoir bruises, the "Farm ers wore la Jubilant spirits ever the decisive victory they accomplished over the Washington lans. and are hoping to repeat the performance In the game against Multnomah next Sat urday. There has been some talk of postponing tho game scheduled be tween the local clubmen and the Cor vallis aggregation until the Christmas date, but It is not likely to happen as. according to tho Corvallls players, the idea of continuing training until that late date is somewhat distasteful, and It is more than likely that the game will be playod as scheduled. Deecmbor S. Manager Watkias broached the subject to Manager Stlmson yesterday morning, and was promised a dofialte answer on Mondaj-. Well Treated at Scattlc- The Corvallis men express them solx'es as well pleased with thoir treat ment at Seattle, at least far as the game was concerned, and do not place any credence in the article that appoarod in a Soattle paper condemn ing them for brutal work on the field in the game with Washington. Coach A. C Steekle. in commenting on tho article referred to. said: "It does not interest me much, for It Is not fair. The writer evidently knows very little about football when he seeks to disparage the work of our toam. and furthermore, he blames the referee. Mr. Lon organ, for not inflict -ing more penalities on the O. A. C toam, which Is an Injustice to him. ns it is not his duty to inflict penalties, that duty being assigned o the um pire in the rules of the game. No Ruffianly Players. "Wo have no one on our toam that oan be classed an ruffianly or a dirty pluyor. as the article would intimate, and this fact was brought out in an o'onlng paper, which gavo us credit able notice. If there was any dirty work In the game. I. as well as the officials, failed to ee It. and both teams put up a hard, clean game at all stages. Washington was defeated because we had the stronger team, and that Is all there is to it. We had the advantage from the start, and kept It. The fact that Washington had so many men la the contost probably caused the au thority to imagine that they wore be ing used roughly, when the fact of the matter was that they had only one man rerao,vcd on account of injuries, all the others being supplanted by fresher or better men. The Washing ton men took their 'defeat gracefully and acknowledged after the game that they wore beaten fairly. Cooper was the only one of our men Injured se voroly. and he will probably be able to play against Multnomah next week. and -we shall also have Williams back In the game when we meet the club men, and I think we are In better shape than ever before, and hope to accomplish a victory In the coming game." Frank J. Leaergan. of this city, who refereed the O. A- C.-Washlngton game, stated last evening: "SVny competent Jndgo.of a football game knows that the rules expllcltely state that the Hciplre. and not the referee, shall ln fllot all penalties, so It would seem that the Seattle authority who criticised the Corvallis men is hardly up on the rules f the game, o. A. C played a good, dean game, and bad the Washington team outclassed, and the Seattle players acknowledged this after the game." FAVORITE ONLY A TAILEXDER San Nicolas Loses, Dcutschland Win ning Norfolk Handicap Easily. SAX FRAXCISCO. Dec 2. There were tfi starters la the Norfolk Handicap, at Bmeryvitlc today. San Nicolas, who has shewn such consistent form this season, was allotted top weight, and his class was looked upoa by the talent to carry H threugl-. He was always first choice, dosing at 11 to 5. The black horse ran a very poor race, and, after chasing Deutschland for half a mile, fell back beaten, finishing among the taiienders.

LOS ANGELES OR TACOMA 3t Lies Between These Two Teams as to Which Shall Take the Post - Season Championship and Win Pennant. With the games played in the South this afternoon, the Pacific Coast League season of X"6 comes to a dose, or at least as far as the four teams besides the Los Angeles and Taconta aggregations who play off the post-season series for the championship, are concerned, for they disband tonight. Just what tho financial standing of the local club is no one out side of the secretive secretary knows, and he Is not saying much on the sub ject. Some few weeks ago Secretary Ely came out with a statement that conveyed the intimation that the club had not lost money to any great extent. The facts of the situation will probably be made known at the coming annual meeting of the club, which is scheduled for Decem ber 11. at which session several Import ant matters will be threshed out. The members of the Portland 'team, which disbands tonight, will depart for their Winter quarters immediately, some of the team coming to this cky. while the rest go to their homes in the East or remain in. California. Among those who are coming to Portland for the Winter arc: McLean. Van Buren. Ferry. Mitch oil, McCredle. Esslck. CaMff. Sues and probably McHaie. Bert Jones will Win ter at Los Angeles, as will Torea, who recently became a member of the Port land dub by the deal with M or ley. which has created such a sUr in baseball cir cles on the Coast. The trading of Atz and SchktOy has caused considerable agitation in baseball circles, for It is claimed that the deal Is not a bona fide affair, and that Mc Credle and Moriey have faked the trade in order that Loo Angeles would not be handicapped la the coming post-season series with the Tacoraa team. The sus pension of Smith, and the disbarment of Flood crippled the Angels greatly, and it was up to Moriey to strengthen from this league In order to be in condition to meet Taeoma in the play-off. hence tho deal with Portland for the crack in tlelders of the local club. If the deal is on the square, tho local fans are of the opinion that McCredle has shown poor Judgment, and unless he has some good explanation for so doing up bis sleeve, he will come In for much criticism. Pres ident Bert Is investigating the trade, and is expected to render a dedstoa In a few days as to the legality of the deaL He decided to look into the matter when Manager Fisher, of the Taconut club, entered a protest. If the deal is a fake, the trade should not be allowed to stand. for in justice to the Taeoma team It must I be said that they have always played fair, and should not be subject to such a coarse deal as MorIeys attempt to ' CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON DISEASES THE BLOOD POLLUTES THE BODY-EATS OUT THE LITE So powerful is the virus of Contagious Blood Poison that it will disease the entire blood supply of the strongest, healthiest person, and the hideous symptoms which follow de grade and pollute the body from head to foot. Unless the poison is driven from the blood it preys on the internal members and tissues and eats out the very life of those so unfortunate as to contract the vile disorder. Contagious Blood Poison is the most treacherous of all diseases. It has its victims in its grasp almost before they realize- the blood is diseased; because its first symptom, which is a little sore or ulcer, is so insignificant that it does not usually excite suspicion. When this virus is in the blood the mouth and throat ulcerate, copper colored spots appear, a red rash breaks out, the hair comes out, the glands in the groin swell, and ulcerating sores often form on the limbs, hands or face. But this is not all; if the poison is allowed to remain it works down and affects the bones, causing necrosis or decay, attacks the nerves, and causes tumors to form on the brain, and insanity or death is the result. Persons who are afEicted with Contagious Blood Poison experience the degradation and 1 contracted, contagious Blood Poisoa from, using a -i -i - , - i - , -., ., ,. towel that had beau ussd br some one afflicted -with, tho humiliation which accompany the Vile dlS- trouble.

It will not do to tamper with a disease that is so powerful as Contagious Blood Poison, for every day it remains in the blood it is progressing toward a dangerous stage and may in the end get beyond the reach of an' treatment. Mercury and Potash are often given to cure the trouble, but cannot conquer the mighty poison. These minerals may, for a while, drive the S3mptoms away and shut the disease up in the system, but when the treatment is left off the trouble returns and makes more rapid headway because of the disastrous effects of these strong medicines on the system. The continued use of Mercury and Potash destroys the delicate lining of the stomach, causing chronic Dyspepsia, and so injuriously . affects the bowels that the patient is often left a physical wreck.

THE SWMT JWMW 09MPAMY, ATLANTA M l ring in. two of the beat men in the league in place of his debarred playera. Happy Hogan in the role of a sleuth is the subject of the following in the San Franc fesco Bulletin: "Beggin yer pardon, kidy. but you are the Mysterious Miss Raffles." "Really, sir. I believe you are quite mistaken." "NU with the bull. Don't stall me. Get wise, get wise. I'm en to your pltch lag. "Really, "sir. I beg your pardon and would thank you to let me alone." "Oh suds. Wouldn't that molstea your batting average. Now Miss Raffles" but he never finished the sentence. Whack. And' an umbrella descended on the intruder's coco. This scene and the accompanying dialogue took place on Market street last evening. Happy Hogan. the well-known ball player, and a trim little lady were the prlncloais. Fellow players had rigged Harry up that the lady- in question was the Mys terious Miss Raffles of the BulleUn. They exhorted Happy to win the prize by pronouncing the secret words. Happy didn't require much coaxing. When he thought he saw the H25 he got busy. He almost sprained his heel gliding to ward the lady, while his fellow players and the conspirators nearly choked them selves with suppressed laughter. After it was all over Happy, somewhat crestfallen at the Ill-fortune that attend ed the sally of the house of Hogan. re turned to where his pals were. "Hee haw" was the solace he got from his pals. "You guys think you are fresh. Sup posing that was a crowbar instead of an umbrella. I guess you wouldn't be laugh ing so much." "That's all right kid." sym pathized Truck Egan in a soothing voice. "You- got the best of the argument. She sprained her umbrella all right, and it'll cost her a couple of dollars to have it remodeled." Now Hogan's fellow-players are calling him Raffles and Happy is laying awake at night trying to think up a means of getting even. In a recent issue of the Sporting News Johnny Kllng. the crack catcher of the Chicago Nationals, has the following on the success of that club's fust infield. "LMk over the lists of the IS teams in the two big leagues and you'll find but few second basemen who really are worthy of the distinction of being called stars. Chicago has one in Evers and Cincinnati one in Hugglns. There are a few others, but their number Is extremely limited. A second baseman can be of great help or a great handicap to a catcher in preventing stolen bases. Take Evers, for instance. He and I understand each other so perfectly that a ptey scarcely ever gets away from us. Togeth er with Joe Tinker at short, we have a system by which we know before the ball leaves the pitcher's hand Just how a play will be made at second base in case a runner at first attempted to steal. In covering second for a throw Evers uses better Judgment than any player I ever have seen. He gauges his start toward the bag so that he and the ball and the run ner get there just about the same time. This prevents the runner from making any funny moves to get away from Evers and also saves Evers from any un necessary work In going around for the runner. It may sound strange to hear it told, but It Li a fact that a baseman has a better chance of catching a runner who gets to a base almost simultaneously with the ball than he has to land him by get Ung the bait a few feet ahead of him. The runner can slide away from a catch of the latter kind, but he can't get away from the baseman when the ball is caught on top of him. Chit-age.- More than 5tO.OCO.COO has been spent br the Chicago. Hock Island & Pacific Railroad this ytar for equl?mnt. forcing out every particle of the virus. Through the blood it goes to every nook and corner and removes the poison, and at the same time re stores the healthful qualities of the blood. S. S.
