THRILLING SEVENTY-FIVE YARD ! YOUTHFUL BEDIENT PUZZLE TO

GAME
LINE OF LOCAL TEAM IS STRONG
Both Teams Play Well, But Oregon

Defensive ; Work Is
Fine
GIANTS, WHO TRY HARD
TO WIN
MATHEWSON ALSO DOES WELL IN BOX
A thrilling seventy-five yard dash
by Quarterback Wilson of Oregon
City High won the game for that team
against Lincoln,. High School Satur
day. The game which was played on
the Canemah grounds were scoreless
for two quarters and in the third quar
ter, with only two minutes to play,
Wilson, speedy quarter back of Ore
gon City, made the winning run and
touch down.
Both teams played fast ball through
out the game, the fourth quarter also
being scoreless. Both elevens lost
much ground1 in attempting forward
passes.
An effort in the fourth quarter of
of Lincoln boys to score proved futile.
The Oregon City boys held them back
during the last few minutes, though
it looked for some time as if they
would score a touchdown. Preble,
quarter back for Lincoln, played a
fast game, but seemed unable to get
the ball through the line. Though hon
ors of the day went to Wilson for his
wonderful run, the entire team play
ed fast. Coach Wagnor, oB Oregon
City, wa3 pleased with the boy"s work,
as they had had only two weeks prac
tice. J. Convill, of Portland, was ref
eree, Arnolds of Oregon City, umpire
and Moore and Sheahan linesmen.
Coach Borleske, of Linccn, accom
panied the team. The score was 6

OAK GROVE RALLY
E. B. Tongue, Republican nominee
for District Attorney, and the nom
inees for other county offices address
ed a large crowd at Oak Grove Sat
urday night. The speakers urged the
election of the entire Republican tick
et, and the sentiment of those pres
ent was unanimous for the ticket.
Mr. Tongue made a strong appeal for
the election of President Taft, and
he was frepuently interrupted by ap
plause. The candidates who spoke
were E. C. Hackett, nominee for sher
iff; J. F. Nelson, nominee for assessor
E. P. Dedman, nominee .for recorder
and Chris Schuebel, nominee for rep
presentative in the legislature. Music
was rendered by the Oak Grove Girl's
band. The candidates will hold meet
ings every evening this-week.

FENWAY PARK, Boston, Oct. 12.
A flash of the brilliant stuff that
does business in baseball by Hugh
Bedient, a youthful star of the Red
Sox pitching staff, coupled with a mo
mentary lapie by Mathewson and a
boble by Doyle, gave the Red Spx
their third victory in the world's ser
ies race here this afternoon by a
score of two to one and sent the Na
tional league champions slipping and
sliding down the way on the road to
second unsuccessful bid for a world's
championship.
Bedient, working in a style to have
done credit to Walsh, held the Gi-ants
iafe all the way and let them down
with a nuartet of hits, with the result
that but a single additional lininsii
in front is now needed by the Boston
ians to give them the world's cham
pioship ior 1912.
To reach the crest now the McGraw
clan must wrench off three victories
in a row, a task almost impossible
with the Red Sox machine swinging
along at its present splendid stride
and with Joe Wood, the Sox phenom,
tagged to go to the mound again Mon
day in the game, which, if won by
Boston, will end the fracas.
One round, one fatal sudden cavein
beat the Giants before the greatest
crowd that ever saw a game in Bos
ton. Starting the third inn'r.g, Hoop
er slashed a drive by Herzog which
whizzed into the left field corner for
a three base blow. Yerkes followed
with another slashing drive to left
center ior another triple and Hooper
scored. Then JDoyle brought on dis
aster. Speaker tapped to Captain
Larry for an easy out, but while
Yerkes stuck to third, Doyle let the
tap dribble away, and the se:ond run
the fatal one was over.
These two heart-breaking drives,
bunched, with Doyle's erro", brought
the old master back to life. From
that point on he cut in with the fast
est pitcning of his life. But the stand
came too late, for Bedient had curDed
the Giant rush with the best pitched
game of the series. He worked a fin
er game than Wood had shown, at the
start, and before his speed and crack
ing curves the Giant's machine was
stalled ail the way.
The visitors put through but one
tally on Pedient, when Meri'le doub
led in the- seventh and KcCorniirk
drove him home. Beyond this meagre
assault he .ito'. ii the wild-eyeu G ants
on their Li-nm ends and drove them

Mr. Brown Advertising Manager
of the Oregon City Enterprise, was in
Busch's store Saturday morning be
tween 9 and 10 o'clock and was about
to proceed on his way back to the
office, when Everett Cross, who had
been watching the men entering the
store steppl up to him and said "You
Are Raffles oft the Grand Theater,"
and held a coupon from the Grand
correctly dated. Mr. Brown said when
asked about the holdup that he had
been taken for "Raffles" at least
three times but in each instance the
proper words were not spoken, or the
person did not produce the coupon.
He said he had lots of fun during the
short time he played the part of "Raf
fles" and really enjoyed everything
except when it came to banding over
the big ?10. gold piece
This theater was packed to
the sidewalk for three hours
last night. There's a reason,
the public was given a treat in

PIERCE SPEAKS FOR DEMOCRATS
Former Candidate for United States
Senate Makes Plea for County,
State and National Nominees
Milton A. Miller, of Lebanon, re
cently a candidate for the Democrat
is nomination tor United States Sena
tor, denounced Single Tax at a meet
ing of the Democrats at Willamette
Hall Saturday evening. Ht said if
tne measure thould carry it would
throw the burden of taxation on
the counties. He advised his hearers
to look' into this measure before it
i was too late, and declared that it was
time' that the initiative and referen
dum be protected. Mr. Miller said
the best laws on the statute books
had been placed there by the people.
He, however, insisted that a stop
should be put upon the large number
of measures which are being put upon
the ballot. To vote intelligently upon
tne questions was an impossibility
for the average voter, he declared.
Walter Mx-Pierce, who, also, was a
candidate for the Democratic nomina
tion for United States Senator, made
a stirring address. Mr. Pierce, who
s.poke first, predicted the success of
the entire ticket. He declared that
Woodrow Wilson was ona of the
greatest statesmen this country has
ever produced. The speaker thought
Wilson almost the equal of Jefferson.
Mr. Pierce, in an effort to prove
Wilson a great man, told of his hav
ing repudiated former United States
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, and in
si ted that his rival, Martine, be elect
ed. He also called attention to the
Wilson-Harvey-Waterson episode, and
declared that Wilson's repudiation of
these men made him a strong man.
The speaker praised Bryan for having
repudiated Wall Street, Ryan and
Murphy.
Mr. Miller urged that the people
elect United States senators. He
said tnat there hadi been a waste in
the senate of more than $300,000 a
year. This was caused, he said, by
the politicians who waited until the
last hour, before allowing the appro
priation bills to be presented.
There was a fair attendance and
the candidates announced that the
meeting was a satisfactory one. Gil
bert L. Hedges, nominee for district
attorney, presided..
PORTLAND, Oct 12, (Special)
After bitterly assailing Charles H.
Shields, secretary of the Oregon
Equal Taxation League, as a bragger,
blusterer and a coward, W. S. U'Ren
now absolutely declines to meet Mr.
Shields in debate unless Mr. Shields
will debate on a question that Mr.
U'Ren himself propounds.
Although Mr. U'Ren dodges the
question, J. W. Bendough, a paid car
toonist of the Fels Fund Commission,
who was also challenged, wrote a
courteous letter to Mr. Shields in
forming him that he would be very
willing to debate with him on the
subject but that the organization with
which he was working, the Graduated
Single Tax League of Oregon, refused
to give its permission.
The question Mr. Shields submitted
to Mr. U'Ren covered every phase of
the Single Tax situation. Jt declared
that the money for the Single Tax
fight was put up by the Joseph Fels
Fund Commission. It went on to say
that; the Single Tax measure 'was a
Henry George Single Tax ' Measure
and that it contemplated the estab
lishment of the Henry George Single
Tax in Oregon.
The question also contained the as
sertion that the Henry George Single
Tax would not be for the wellfare of
Oregon.
Mr. U'Ren visited Mr. Shields and
said I will, not debate thfi ques
tion you have submitted because that
is not the question before the house
I will, however, debate on the sub
ject that the Graduated Single Tax
amendment should be adopted by the
people of Oregon.
Discussing Mr. U'Ren's action Mr.
Shields said today over long distance
phone from Corvallis:
"Mr. U'Ren is making once more a
desperate effort' to trick the people
of Oregon by means of lies and sub
terfuge. He knows he could never de
fend the Henry George Single Tax
in Oregon, and now he is attempting
to make the voters believe that the
Graduated Single Tax is not the Hen
ry George Single Tax.
"He is trying to trick the voters
now as he tricked them two years ago
when ne told them that they were
repealing the poll tax. In reality they
were foisting on themselves the Coun
ty Home Rule in taxation, a Single
Tax moasure.
"Mr. U'Ren now says, that Single
Tax is not the question before the
house in Oregon, yet on November
19, 1910, fie said before the Fels Tax
Commission: 'We have cleared the
-way for a straight Single Tax fight
in Oregon but we have not
talked Single Tax because that was
not the question before the house.
Now that question is before the house
in Oregon and we will discuss it in
that state."
