okane waited all through yesterday's
game for the lire -works to go off- There
were none set. All the illuxninants of the
city -went up In smoke on the previous
day. But the players and the crowd wait
ed and watched under the gloomy sky
for something to turn up. The only thing
that happened was the steady increase
of Portland's score, while the visitors
narrowly escaped a shut-out. Captain Ris
ley went Into the pitcher's box for his
nine. He pitched a good game. His de
livery is as quick and sharp as the bark
of a fox terrier, and In execution it much
Tesembles a genuflection of that diminu
tive animal. Risley was touched up for
10 hits, which was a cruel thing to do,
thought the ladies in the grandstand,
for "Risley is such a lovely player, and
it Isn't fair to treat him that way, since
really he doesn't belong there, but at
second base." So the feminine element
sympathized, and the Portlands batted.
'Muller was the nero of the game," so
said all the heroines who were In the
grandstand.
"Why, he played perfectly grand. Every
time he wanted to. he struck the ball,
&o that It went sailing out in. a perfectly
darling manner. And he is such a cute
runner, too. He starts like a flash. And
away he goes. And the rest of the play
ers just stop and look at him, and stand
around and act like a lot of grandmoth
ers at a Tag carpet sewing-bee."
Muller did deserve all the plaudits. He
sent out two thrilling three-baggers that
drew cheers from the crowd, and he also
fattened his batting average by two
singles. Besides, he scored two runs that
went to Increase the Portland score.
In the first inning he started out with
a. three-base hit that bounded against one
of the cigar signs on the fence. DeiEel
flew out to right. Muller scored on An
derson's base hit Tinker took first on
the error of Fay. On Lougheed's error
Glendon reached first. Weed brought in
Anderson, although Glcndon was retired
at second on the play.
Two more runs were scored in the
third. Anderson opened up with a hit.
Tinker came up to the plate limping from
his accident of last Tuesday. He bunted
the ball for a sacrifice, but beat his way
to first.
"There." remarked a sympathetic spec
tator, "wasn't that fine the way our poor
little crippled boy got to first?"
Glendon came up with a scratch hit,
filling the bases. Anderson scored on
the next play, when Weed flew out to
right. Tinker went to third and scored
on an error of Hawley's.
The fourth brought in a run. Muller
took his usual hit, and went to second
on Delsel's out. Anderson walked to
first. Then they did the double steal,
and Muller came home on a passed ball
after reaching third.
Spokane, meanwhile, was hoping for a
whiff of burning powder. In the fourth
Marshall got a scratch hit to Delsel, stole
second, and was advanced home by the
outs of the two following men, Hurlburt
and Knox.
Glendon beat the ball to first In the fifth.
He went to second when Weed was hit
by a pitched balL On the next play Weed
and Grim were doubled out. Grim knock
ing a pop fly to Risley, who fielded Weed
out at first. On an attempt to catch
Glendon at second Glendon started to
third and scored on Fay's wild throw.
The last run was scored In the seventh.
Tinker took first on Ixjugheed's error, and
third on Glendon's scratch hit, making
a daring run to get the base. He scored
on Weed's fly out to center.
In the eighth Anderson made one of the
prettiest catches of the game, running
back of short to catch a fiy ball that
seemed to be a hit. The score:

TACOMA, Oct 3. The baseball season
ended at Tacoma today, the Tigers win
ning from Seattle by 8 to 6, after a game
which was in doubt until the end. The
overworked, willing St "Vraln pitched
fine ball for the locals, while Stovall was
also in good shape until Klopfs wild
throw sent him "in the air," and allowed
but one scratch hit in four Innings. Mur

the back fence of Harmon's fiy was the
feature. The score:

UNFAIR RIDIXG.
Lord Bercsford Tells Why Lester
Helft Was Suspended.
LONDON, Oct 3. Lord Marcus Bercs
ford, one of the stewards of the Jockey
Club who sentenced Lester Reiff, said
today:
"In order that our American friends
may not feel that Relff has been harshly
or unjustly treated, I may say that his
riding of DeLacey was as palpable and
barefaced an Instance of not trying to
win as ever I saw In all my experience.
We were not dealing with Relff on 'what
he did at the turn into the stretch, but
on what he did at the finish. Regard
for Mr. Whitney would prevent the stew
ards of the Jockey Club from arriving
at any decision not supported by the
strongest evidence."
Victim of Persecution.
NEW YORK, Oct 3 According to the
London correspondent of the World, Mr.
Alison, special correspondent of the
SportBman, and one of the highest au
thorities In the racing world, said, when
interviewed concerning Lester Relff and
the forcing of the American jockey off
the English tracks:
"It is an article of faith with me that
the members of the Jockey Club are
men who fairly and squarely do their
best and that we must accept their con
clusions. If they made a mistake, they
are not the first honorable, well-intentioned
judges who have done so, but I am
sorroy for what has happened, and do
not think any one living will suspect me
of sympathizing with dishonesty."
Commenting upon the subject the
World's London correspondent .says:
"Undoubtedly Lester Relff has suffered
for his pre-eminent jockeyship, having
been persistently attacked in the sport
ing press. His every race has been
watched and criticised with relentless
suspicion since Lord Durham's abortive
attack, and It would have been easier
for a camel to go through the eye of a
needle than for him to escape. The fact
that he Is getting too heavy to ride an
other season makes his fate particularly
hard."
A dispatch to the Tribune from London
says:
The retirement of Lester Reiff will not
Interfere with the arrangements at
Heath House. Kilmarnock will fill his
engagement In Paris Sunday and be rid
den by "Johnny" Relff, who will have
the handling . of all of Mr. Whitney's
horses for the remainder of the season.

COACH SMITH CONSIDERS THE U. OF

Many Men of Experience Are Anx

Playera on Hand.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Oct. 3, Coach Warren Smith has arrived
from Berkeley to take charge of the uni
versity football eleven. Although things
are not yet In an order when predictions
may be made concerning the strength and
weakness of the team, Mr. Smith, after
seeing the men line up last night for prac
tice work, is of the opinion that Oregon
has good prospects for a strong team.
But five of the men who played on the
winning team of last season have returned
to college this year Ray Goodrich, half-
MORE HONORS FOR
ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON ASSOCIATED
STUDENTS.
UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE, Oct 3. The annual election of officers of the
associated students resulted as follows: President, Fred J. Zlegler, 02; vice-president, Har
vey B. Densmore, '03; secretary, Miss Kate Wilson, '02; treasurer, Allen Eaton, "02. The
election was one of the quietest since the organization of the student body.
Mr. Zlegler, who was elected president, was captain of the 'varsity football team last sea
son, and occupies the same position again this year. The two positions which this popular
young man holds are the highest honors within the gift of the college, and he Is the recip
ient of many well-deserved congratulations. The selection of Mr. Zlegler meets with wide
spread approval among students, alumni and friends of the university. Mr. Zlegler Is from
Portland. He formerly attended the Portland High School. He has been a member of the
athletic board for three years, and Is the chairman of that body.
back; Arthur Stubllng, guard; Fred Zelg
ler end; Oscar Gorrell, end; Ralph Starr,
halfback. Clyde Payne, fullback, has re
turned, but his parents do not approve
of the' game, and he has definitely de
cided to retire. The other members of the
team have either graduated or will not
return ,
The absence of the old players is plainly
noticeable when the men line up -each
night for practice work, but Manager
Redmond states that there never were
so many new candidates for positions on
the team who have had previous experi
ence in the game, and that the men pre
senting themselves average as a class
heavier in weight than in former years.
Although the formation of a new team,
with such a small nucleus of old and
trusted players, is uphill work, the 'var
sity boys are not discouraged, and will
go into the game with their old-time en
thusiasm. Considerable new material Is
here to be developed, and under the
competent direction of Coach Smith and
Manager Redmond a good team should be
put In the field.
Men Who Are Trying for Places.
Among the new men trying for the
varsity are Kuhlman, who played guard
on the Western Iowa University eleven
last season; Kennon, who played the same
position on the Portland High School
team; Virgil Earl, guard on The Dalles
eleven last Fall; Frizzell, center on the
same team; Henderson, of Hood River,
who played with the Olympla High School
two years ago. Henderson is trying for
fullback. He is an accurate punter and
quick and active on the field. Some of
last year's freshman team men will stand
a good 6how with the 'varsity this year,
among them Joe Templeton, halfback;
Penland, guard; Casteel, end. The Eu
gene High School, which last year had
one of the best interscholastic elevens In
the state, sent a big batch of 'experi
enced football men to the university this
Fall. Of this team, Fay Howe will try
for quarter, Lorls Johnson end, Al
Slusher tackle, Watson center, Rhoades
end. George Day is a new man trying for
tackle, and Ben Wagner, a valuable sec
ond team man two years ago, has re
turned to college, and may go in for cen
ter. His brother did valuable service in
this position for the 'varsity for three
seasons, until he graduated, fast June.
For the past 10 days the football squad,
about 25 in number, has been doing light
practice work under the direction of Cap
tain Zlegler and Physical Director Bur
den. The work was intended to season
the men and to get them Into shape for
more strenuous duties under Coach Smith.

SPEEDY COLLAPSE OF BOER RE
SISTANCE ANTICIPATED.
Sanguine View Said to Be Taken by
the British War Office Loss
at Moedwlll.
LONDON, Oct. 4. "We learn on very
high authority " says the Daily Chroni
cle this morning, "that a sudden com
plete collapse of Boer Tesistance and the
speedy termination of the war In South
Africa are anticipated. The attacks on
Forts Itala and Moedwlll and the other
recent engagements are regarded as the
last desperate efforta of men who are
wearied by the struggle and tired of be
ing hunted. Therefore, beyond sending
drafts to compensate for losses by cas
ualties and disease, there is no Intention
to dispatch further reinforcements or to
employ Indian troops, as rumored, for
guarding the lines of communication."
Commenting editorially upon this in
formation, the Dally Chronicle, while ad
mitting that thero is much to be said
for "the sanguine view taken by the
War Office," reminds the government of
previous miscalculations and warns Min
isters that It Is their duty no longer to
trade on chances, but to make success,
humanely speaking, certain.
The latest South African casualty list
shows that the fighting In the attack on
Colonel Kekewlch's camp at Moedwlll,
September 29, put 26 British officers out
of action. Four were killed outright or
died of wounds, and 22 were wounded.
Colonel Kekewlch was wounded severely,
but Is doing well.
Bnller's Prudent Reply.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3. General Buller"s
reply to the charges made by two weekly
journals' of high character is prudent, says
the London correspondent of the Tribune.
He declines to be drawn into a contro
versy with anonymous writers and speaks
with fine Irony of the "criticism of an
irresponsible press." It will be difficult
for those journals to pursue the subject
and General Buller will not be -forced to
defend himself nor will he be deprived of
the command of his army corps. It would
not be difficult, however, to establish the
Identity of the writers who have been re
proaching him for having either ordered
or advised General White to abandon
Ladysml'h after the battle of Colenso,
nor to ascertain the source of inspiration
of these attacks upon his reputation.
The secrets of the heliograph both at
Modder River and Colenso affect the hon
or and prestige of the British Army, and
an investigation will ultimately be neces
sary. .
The subjugation of the Boers has been
sufficiently difficult, although -Klmberley
was not evacuated nor Ladysmlth aban
doned. It would have been well nigh lm
posible If the alleged orders attributed to
Buller had been carried Into execution.

LONDON, Oct. 3. The Berlin corre

Address of Jesuits.
LONDON. Oct. 3. The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says the Jesuits have
published a long address on the eve of
their departure from France. They ex
plain that they cannot submit to the law
of associations and apply for authoriza
tion under It, as by so doing they would
have to admit the existence of a power
higher than the church. This address,
remarks the correspondent, loses much of
its significance and pathos when one re
flects that the law was specially aimed at
the Jesullts and Passlonlsts. The former,
therefore, can claim no merit in not ask
ing for authorization, as they know they
would not be able to obtain It, and the
application for It would provoke discus
sions painful to them.
It is seml-offlcially stated that com
munities not applying for authorization
under the law and not dispersing, will be
prosecuted. Immediately. Liquidators will
be appointed for those which have dis
persed.. '
High Church Dlscnsslon.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3. The Church Con
gress at Brighton today witnessed a full
dress parade of the ritualists and evan

says the Tribune's London representa
tives. The lines were formed on the
question of the authority of the English
church. Lord Halifax pleaded for tho
revival and exercise of true ecqleslastlcal
authority In the Interpretation of catho
lic doctrine, and was closely followed by
the Rev. Lelghton Pullman. These
extreme high church views were opposed
by Prebendary Wace, who contended
that no ceremonies introduced after the
first four centuries could make any claim
to catholic authority. Canon Mecoll In

it was conducted with excellent temper.

the offer of the German Government to

fusal to reconvey them to the Chinese
Capital in view of the difficulties, is of
the opinion that the German Government's
offer amounts to a censure of those who
took the instruments. The Chinese refu

does not exonerate those who were guilty
of the looting.

DELINQUENT TAXES.
Reply to District Attorney Chamber
lain's Comments.
PORTLAND, Oct3. (To the Editor.)
The somewhat splenetic opinion of
District Attorney Chamberlain on the
new tax sale law (tho discriminating
head-line writer aptly calls It "edltoria."
comment), seems to Invite a word of re
ply frqm the view point of those who
neither buy In other persons' property,
nor allow their own to be sold for
taxes. The only kind of "taxpayers'
to whom the law. In Mr. Chamberlaln'a
words, "has been a fruitful source of
trouble." Is that kind who don't pay
their taxes, and the fraud Is. or has
been, in allowing these to escape their
share of the public burden. It is reported
that one corporation has put up $5000,.
and several others similarly large
amounts, which they had before suc
cessfully evaded. A total which Is never
clearly stated by the officers doing
the collecting, but which must be near,
if not In excess of $100,000, has been col
lected on these rolls since the agita
tion about the law began, and directly
on account of It,, as far as appears to a
man up a tree. And when it Is seen that
this law has forced the artful, and for
merly successful tax dodger to practical
ly pay off the county debt, which other
wise must have remained a heavy bur
den on the plain man who doesn't know
enough not to pay his taxes in full, every
year, the District Attorney's denuncia
tions of the law seem to ring a little
hollow.
Mr. Chamberlain further suggests that
the sales under thl3 law enable designing
persons to "hold up and rob those whose
lands are sold without more than the
constructive notice." No lands can be
sold which have not been bid In by tho
county for delinquent taxes, and become
forfeit to it by lapse of the time of re
demption, so that in the eye of the law
the owners are out of It already. And
as to notice, all the property was adver
tised in full at the original sale.
But pne notice ought to be enough,
with two years time after it. if a man
wants to pay. The suggested plan of
putting off sales Indefinitely has had
trial here, till It came to such a pass
that the knowing ones hardly paid taxes
at all, and these huge delinquent roll3
are the result Advertise that you are
going to sell, and then give out a quiot
tip that you don't mean to do any such
thing. Thus the Ignorant and simple
minded are Induced to pay up, the spec
ulator, the crafty corporation, and thoso
who are on the Inside generally, "got
the combination," and the rest of the
public carry tfiem. The other objections
of the learned District Attorney seem t6
be based on the requirement that the
lands be put up and sold to the highest
bidder. No doubt the "few distinguished
gentlemen" who hold office would like
to have the lands which the counties
have bid in left to be handled by them,
without let or hindrance, at their own
sweet will, but the other plan., notwith
standing it may in individual cases work
hardship, has been approved by the whole
course of experience as the only safe way
In such matters.
It Is quite evident that those who have
not taken advantage of the liberal provis
ions of this law to pay their taxes with
penalties remitted do not intend to do
so, relying probably upon the belief that
the officials would not sell- just as Mr.
Chamberlain Is advising, or else In some
technical defect In the proceedings. And
It would seem that drastic means ought
to be applied to close the whole busi
ness up, collect what can be collected
and make a rummage sale of the rest.
If there Is any chance of collecting the
tax by a reasonable delay I have noth
ing to say, but If the District Attorney
is advising public officers how to evado
the law in the Interest of those who will
not pay taxes, a protest ought to be en
tered. In fine. Is there not something a little
askew about the viewpoint of a public
officer who can so severely denounce the
operations of a law which has succeeded,
where all other means failed. In collect
ing a good-sized fortune In old delin
quent rolls, without the sale In this
county of a foot of land, or the loss of
a penny of taxes, except what the Com
missioners have voluntarily remitted, and
where is the justice In offering further
indefinite extensions to persons who do
not even offer to pay their taxes?
