Raf tery was thrown out of the grounds for disputing Umpire O'Connell in the fourth and in the twelfth Groom was ejected tor talking from the bench. Ryan took Raftery' place and kept the fans in the air with his sensational running catches. Bernard and Cooney were also stars in fielding. Casey opened the fourth with a single and stole second. He ran to third on McCredle's out. Later on Cooney grounded to Smith who shot the ball to the plate. Hogan touched out Cassy, but O'Connell called him safe for the only run the Beavers got. In the same inning Bernard singled, beat out a fielder's choice throw to sec ond, was sacrificed to third and scored . on Wheelers long foul fly back of third, which Bassey foolishly caught.

LONDON. Aug. 15. Theodore Cook, a member of the British Olympic Coun cil, has sent a long communication to the newspapers of London, stating that ss the criticisms from Americans on the 400-meter race at the Olympic games appear to be based on an ignor ance of tacts, he has deemed it ad visable to give the exact facts on which the decision was based. He then gives the statements of the various officials of the American Athletic As sociation, who acted as starters, um pires, and the like, and the evidence presented at the Inquiry after the race, showing that all the starters In the race were warned at the start that watchers h.d been placed around the track and that any . willful jostling would result In the! race being declared void. Cook, commenting on this offi cial view, says: "The only question that can be raised Is whether the Olympic games should hava been held under American or English rules. It was not open for the American athletes to appeal for , CM ING BY SIGNS American rules after entering under English rules. All I can say is that after our experience with what the American code appears to permit no English athlete Is likely to accept It as a fair bas's for international com petition."

Sporting Life insists that it Is neces- I sary to compile for future Olympics a complete detailed code of regulations covering every branch of sports, after consulting; all constituent - countries that are to send contenders. In stat ing many points where the rules failed and where they could be Improved or modified. Sporting Life urges the Brit ish Olympic Council to initiate a move ment for International rules by frank and free discussion with foreign com mittees and with an absence of de sire to press the English rules on for elgners.

For 23 years Lord We Are Teaching a Big Class Everybody in Portland and Vicinity An Impor tant Lesson in Economy Your education is incomplete if you have not joined our class (of Purchasers) and studied the great lesson of Economizing- when furnishing your home. Emerson said: "If you eon write a. better. book, preach a better sermon, build a better mouse-trap," or Give a Better Furniture Bargain "that your neighbor" though you locate on the East Side, the whole city will "hot-foot" it to vour store, or somethin-r like tljat, as -we are too busy selling Furniture and making it hot for the BIO PRICE BOYS to keep up on Emerson. But, anyway, ihat 's the idea, and lie was right about it. The people certainly have been coming our. way. Our NO-RENT PRICES are doing the work. We have revolutionized the Furniture Market. If the Bridges were down customers would cross theriver in boats; if the cars should stop on Grand avenue, people would '.'hoof it" to our store. We certainly have been making it hot for the BIG PRICE BOYS who used to have everything their own way. They are having no picnic this year are doing less business, .while our business grows bigger each month. July was tha best month we've had this year, and we've had some whoppers, too.
