OLSON Master of the Alliance Kept Busy Denying Rumor of His Marriage. Not a few of Captain Olson's frjends were waiting for him this morning when the Alliance drew up to anchor in Coos Bay. "Congratula tions," "How is Mrs.' Olson," "Where Is Mrs. Olson," and "Is there really and truly a Mrs. Olson," were a few of the rapid fire expressions that greeted him as a score or more rush ed forward to grasp his hand. "There's nothing to it yet and I wish I know who started the report," retorted Captain Olson, smiling des pite the bother that had been occa sioned by someone starting the re port that he was secretly wed In Portland a few weeks ago. While everyone hero is willing to vouch for the truth and veracity, of Captain Olsbn's statements, ordinari ly, spme claim that under cir cumstances like tho present ones, it might be possible for him to deviate slightly now and thoy are still won dering whether or not there Is really a Mrs. Olson. Captain Olson says that If he Is assured that a sufficient number of his friends really have purchased a fine lot of wedding presents, and, rather than disappoint them, he might, well the Alliance had a fine trip down, more than pleasing to F.

Bandon lost to Marshfield 5 to 2 and Coquille after battling for thirteen innings went down before North Bend by a score of 9 to 8. Both games are declared to have been among the best that have ever been seen In this section, the weather be ing the best ever despite tho threat ening indications of Saturday night and early Sunday morning that kept a few hundred Coos Bay fans from accompanying the teams. As it was, between 150 and 200 went over from Coos Bay. The Bandon-Marshfleld game wns good straight ball, the Marshfield team simply outplaying the home ag gregation. There were a few kicks, tho principal one being by "Skinny Myers" who threatened to lick tho umpire because ho (Myers) was called out for deliberately getting in front of a pitched ball. The Ban don fans even protested against Myers' kick. Jordan, tho Berkeley university pitcher, imported by Ban don, was not at his best owing to having just arrived on the M. F. Plant and still suffering from the ef fects of seasickness. Tho Coqullle-North Bond game was a battle royal in which both sides kicked more or less on tho umpire. Taylor saved the day for North Bend, going Into the box in tho soventh in ning and holding down Coquille to two hits and a scratch and s'triklrig out five men and shutting out a score at home when Flanagan had a passed ball. Wilson started to pitch for North Bend but went up in the air in the fifth, walking four men In succession. Gaffney then tried it but fell down hard and Taylor was put In. On the whole tho game was snap py and the crowd more than got their money's worth. Bandon-Marshfleld.
