inherited his seat fought it out and
today the final figures show that he
won, although last night it seemed he
had lost by a narrow margin, Senator
Finn won, 5 to 1, over Bobo.

ity. When Men Wore Bustles.
"Bustles were ridiculous," said an
antiquary. "Do you remember the
bustle of 1885? It shot straight out
from the waist, a broad seat on which,
honestly, an adult could have sat
Yes, bustles were ridiculous, but no
more ridiculous than the tournures of
Francis. II. The tournures were worn
. by men. They were bustles front In
stead of rear ones. Yes, In the time
. of Francis II. portliness was consider
ed stately, and men tied on tournures,
or false stomachs,, in order to achieve
an air of dignity."
Y. M. C. A. IS NOT
FOR SINGLE TAX
DISSENSION BREWS BECAUSE
SEC. STONE IS FOR SCHEME
Portland Businessmen Annoyed at
Alleged Political Activity of -Religious
Organization Of
ficials are Worried.
Because the Single Taxers of Ore
gon have been endeavoring to bolster
up their cause by inferring and de
claring, it is said, that the Portland
Young Men's Christian Association
is for Single Tax,' there is every in
dication that grsrtre dissension is
brewing in that institution.
H. W. Stone, secretary of the as
sociation, is a Single Taxer, and has
allowed meetings to be held in the
association favoring the Single Tax
propaganda. Stone, however, de
clares that his leanings are merely
personal, but do not influence the
association in any way.
Y. M. C. A. Said Non-Politica!
"The Y. M. C. A. is absolutely non
political," said one of the Y. M. C.
A. officials the other day. "Mr. Stone
has his ideas, but they have noth
ing to do witih the association. Per
sonally I am opposed to those views
and I resent the idea that seems to
be abroad that the Y. M. C. A. is
for this scheme for it is nothing
else but a scheme."
Despite this disclaimer a number
of Portland business men and friends
of the association throughout the
state declare that if the Y. M. C. A.
Intends to enter the field of politics,
or become interested in tax schemes,
they will withdraw their annual sub
scriptions. Stone May be Hushed.
The fact that the Y. M. C. A. owns
one of Portland's skyscrapers and
wants to dodge taxation on the build
ing, may account for the stand Stone
Is taking," said one of these. "How
ever, I want to give fair warning
that should the Y. M. C. A. give
further opportunity for gossip over
the state by espousing, either whole
heartedly, or half-heartedly Single
Tax or any other political issue that
should be kept out of religion, I
shall not only withdraw my own
subscription, but shall hope to induce
my friends to 'go and do likewise.'"
SONG OF THE
FELS BRIGADE
BY

DEAN COLLINS
This is the jubilant song that is made
By URen et al, of the Fels brigade.
Who put in lusty, persistent whacks
(For a consideration) for Single Tax.
We rally round the war chest
Supplied by Mr. Fels,
And o'er the voter strive to cast
Our Simgle Taxer spells.
What, though the scheme we advo
cate Is one whereby we'll rob
The social trp-i of all its roots
We're losing nothing by it
Chorus:
We gloat, we gloat,
As we strive to cinch the vote
Of the simple-minded public
For our communistic scheme.
Though private rights go flooey,
Let 'em tumble, "Blooey' blooey!"
We'rel osing nothing by it
And we're skimming golden cream.
We sidle up unto the chap
Who never owned an acre,
And roar that private ownership
Is but a trouble maker,
And urge him on to break it up,
Though "poverty" it spells.
Why not? It means our salary
Thanks to our good friend, Fels.
To those who balk at Single Tax,
We make another call,
Insisting what we advocate
Ain't Single Tax at all.
We call it Graduated Tax
To throw them off their guard;
But called by any name you choose,
'Twill stick them just as hard.
So rally round the war chest
Supplied by Mfr. Fels.
In working for the Single Tax,
We're surely "there with bells."
Our hearts may not be in the fight,
But still we'll try to win it;
For thanks to Fels and to his "chest"
Fat salaries are in it.
"Try our new scheme awhile and see
Just how much damage 'twill do to
thee,
And if you dislike it, repeal it
again"
Thus saith the sapient seer. U'Ren.

TO HAVE COLLEGE
FOR THE PLAYERS
Recruits to Ba Taught Finer
. Points of Gams In Winter,
WOULD FIT MEN FOR MAJORS
Faculty to Consist of Stars of Every
Position Capable of Instructing
Young Players Would Save Clubs
Thousands of Dollars Every Year.
A big league college for ball players
will be realized next winter unless
something goes radically wrong. The"
college is the idea of Charley Carr, the
former first baseman of the Detroit
Tigers and at present managing the
Kansas City team in the American as
sociation. Frank J. Navin, owner of.
the Detroit club, is with Carr in the
proposition. He not alone promised
his support, but is particularly enthu
siastic about it and will do all he can
to swing other club owners into line.
The baseball college is Intended to
benefit the major league clubs, and it
will unintentionally benefit many hard
working humorists and cartoonists.
There is an unlimited fund for sketches
and stories in a faculty made up of such
famous and well known persons as
Herman Schaefer, Nick Altrock, John
ny Evers, Johnny Kling, Hal Chase,
Christy Mathewson, Oscar Stanage.
Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Jack Coombs
and others, each and every one carry'
ing the title of professor.
The purpose of the new college is to
train ball players for the major leagues.
Much time is lost annually and money
wasted finding out the value of re
cruits. Each spring sixteen major
league clubs spend thousands of dol
lars trying to find out the worth of
players for whom they have spent
small fortunes. After they pick th
best in the crowd of recruits they are
forced to spend much more time and
much more money in order to 'cultivate
them into the ways of the major leagues
and correct the many minor faults that
all young players bring with them.
Players to Teach Them.
Recruits will be sent to this college
and experienced players will be en
gaged to teach them. Nick Altrock,
for instance, would be the best man
obtainable to teach a pitcher how to
field his position. Nick was the great
est fielding pitcher in the history of
the game. Pitchers like Christy Math
ewson and Jack Coombs are not alone
great pitchers themselves, but they
also have the ability to tell why they
do things the way they do and can
make others see the points clearly
and teach themselves from the lessons
provided by the experienced stars.
There-will be an expert for every po
sition, and the youngsters will be given
individual and collective instruction at
every angle of the position they are
expected to fill.
The college will be located some
where in the south. As soon as Carr
receives the proper backing he will
get an option on a tract of ground and
start operations. It is intended to es
tablish a hotel near these winter
quarters. Baseball enthusiasts and
managers and owners will take an
occasional visit and see how their stu
dents are progressing.
Could Save Money.
An institution of this kind would
mean economy and service to the ma
jor leagues. Instead of devoting the
spring training season to trying out
new material and waiting' till May to
shape a team, the manager, under the
pew system, will know exactly whom
he wants and whom he doesn't want,
what each man can do, and here he
could place every one of the recruits
he desires to keep. The spring season
would then be devoted to practice and
team work. The club could open the
season in shape and ready to play.
Few clubs have less than a dozen
recruits in the spring. Some clubs
have as many as forty and forty-five.
Give each club an average of twenty
men and that would mean 320 stu
dents for the college each winter.
BASEBALL POOL LATEST.
Keogh, Former Cue Champion, Intro
duces New Game.
Jerome R. Keogh, former pool cham
pion, has Introduced a new game in
Rochester. It is calied baseball pool
and is played on a pool 'table with a
regulation set of balls. In the game
the players can make squeeze plays,
home runs and other features which
comprise the national pastime.
A player is allowed to try combi
nations, as In continuous pool,, but the
combinations must be called. Kiss-f
shots do not have to be called. Pocket
ing in the same inning more than the
ball called counts according to its num
ber together with the canSTb'art.
MOELLER is REMARKABLE.
Washington Outfielder Has Bad Shoul
der, but Plays Well.
Dan Moeller, the speed merchant of
the Washington team, who . has a
shoulder that has a habit of falling out
of place and bas already performed the
trick three times this season, has had
a harness made which he will wear In
the hope of keeping the slippery bones
In place.
Considering the fact that Moeller has
but one side working most of the time
because of his patent collapsible shoul
der he is a remarkable ball player.

reap the benefit of their many days

TAFT SUFFERING -FROM
SORE FOOT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. Upon the
advice of Major T. L. Rhoades, U. S.
A., his personal aide and physician,
President Taft took to his bed for a
few hours today. It was said at the
White House that the President need
ed rest, but that he suffered no ill
nes other than his lame ankle. .He
expects to start back for Beverly to
morrow. When the President got to the
White House today on his return from
Beverly his right ankle; sprained a
few days ago while playing golf, was
giving him so much trouble that he
was obliged to break his morning en
gagement to address today the open
ing of the International Congress of
Applied Chemistry. He declined to
comment on the election returns in
Vermont.
In addition to a sprained ankle and
a sore foot. President Taft is suffer
ing from a slight attack of the gout.
His comparatively long siege of work
this Summer, with little opportunity
for his usual daily exercise, is partly
to blame for his condition, acording
to friends. It is believed a week of
rest on the yacht Mayflower and at
Beverly will put the President on his
feet again.
If you saw it in the Enterprise it's
so.
