'"H Xsn ss "pri, - T" "t ry - THE MOBSING OREGOMAN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 1901. THE MULtNOHAnS. HOME THEr ADMIT THAT OREGOX TEA31 OUTPLAYED THEM. Diversity of Opinion as to Whether or Not Coaches Should Have Played Charges Made. The members of the Multnomah football team and the rooters who accompanied them arrived home from Eugene yester day. They say-that the game was a hard, fought one. and admit that the University of Oregon men dutplayed them, but deny the charges that Captain. C. E. McDonell, who acted as one of the officials, was in any way unfair. On the other hand, they declare that Professor Burden, physical director of the university, who acted as the other official, gave decisions that were unfair to the Portland men. Both Cap ti McDonell and Professor Burden oc cupy public positions, and their fairness has never before been questioned. It is quite likely that the declarations as to unfairness are made by the more Impetuous, and that there is no se rious questioning of the integrity of the officials, although some mistakes were probably made. The Multnomah men de clare that Dolph's drop-kick went over the upright post of the goal, and, accord ing to the rules, would count as a score. It seems to be another case of "Multno mah luck," for all agree that the uni versity team, played the better game, but went to pieces at critical moments. Some discussion has arisen as to whether or not the teams had the right to play their coaches, and it is generally agreed that if Dr. "Woodruff insisted upon, entering the line-up, Coach Smith had the same right. However, from the stand, point of strict amateurism, neither of these men should have played. If the university men believed Dr. Woodruff to be a professional coach, they should have refused to play with him in the line-up. If the Multnomah men refused to play without "Woodruff, then Eugene was cer tainly Justified In playing Smith. The question of playing coaches ia quite a vexatious one, and some Axed rule hhould be made to prevent their ontering the game. However, it is "horse and horse" with the university and the club, for the coaches who played In Saturday's game seemed to be of equal value to their re spective teams. "When questioned by an. Oregonlan re porter last evening, Dr. "W. G. Woodruff said: "It was a very slow game. The Mult nomah backs were slow about getting out. The club players were listless, while the university boys put up a snappy game. This was shown -by the way they broke through and blocked Dolph s punts. Coach Smith put up the best game for the uni versity, although some of the others did good, hard work. No one has a right to question Mr. McDonell's decision. They were perfectly fair. On the other hand, Professor Burden's decisions were vicious ly partisan. He does not know the first principles of the game. The Oregon team ought to have scored. They were within scoring distance several times, but did not use good Judgment in directing their plays." Charles H. Grltzmacher, who is a grad uate of Amherst College and a promi nent Multnomah man, said: "The Oregon team put up a better game than Multnomah did. In fact, they out played us right along, but they did not hang together at critical moments. I see no reason why Coach Smith should not be permitted to play, so long as the games are not against, colleges. He Is a strong player, as Is Goodrich, who played left half. Murphy, the quarterback, put up a good game for the Oregon men. I think the university team compares favor ably with any team the institution ever turned out. The Eugene people and stu dents who have been running down the team, simply because it did not contain all the old stars of previous years, ought to be ashamed of themselves. The team is a good one, and plays fast ball." A graduate of the University of Oregon, who played for a number of years on the team "at Eugene, was of the opinion that Dr. Woodruff is a professional coach and should not have been permitted to play, and that the university men. Instead of playing their coach, should have declined to enter the game unless Multnomah withdrew Dr. Woodruff. The Multnomah men say that Kerrigan should have been allowed a touchdown which he made by running the entire length of the field, from behind his own goal line, after having received Eugene's punt. Referee Burden did not allow the touchdown, as he held that Kerrigan had said that he wished to take the ball to the 25-yard line for a free kick. The ref eree contends that he blew his whistle when the ball went behind the goal line, thus declaring the ball dead. SCORE DIDX'T TELL THE STORY. Oregron Men Contend That Drop-ltlclc Decision "Was Unfair. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE, Nov. 3. Although the University of Ore gon was defeated yesterday afternoon by the football players of the Multnomah Club of Portland, the 5-to-0 score fails to tell the story of the game. The club men evidently went on the field with the idea that the 'varsity was an easy thing for them, and that little prepara tion was necessary for an overwhelming victory. But the visitors reckoned with out their' host. The Multnomahs were In poor form, were woefully lacking in team work, and permitted the 'varsity to outplay them at all points of the game. The collegians feel that they have good grounds to question the referee's decis ion which gave the clubmen their 5 points on the drop kick by Fullback Dolph in the middle of the first half. Concerning this feature of the game. Coach Smith gave out the following state ment: "As to the validity of the field goal there Is room for considerable discussion. The ball cleared the goal above and to the left of the post. The referee called out no goal, but on Immediate protesta tions from the Multnomah players he re versed his decision and counted it 5 points for the clubmen." The contest was certainly the greatest game ever played on the unverslty grid iron. At no time during the game was the Oregon team in danger of being forced behind its goal line, but four times the varsity had the clubmen going backward to their home goal, and twice In the sec ond half the leather reached the five-yard line of the visitors. It looked like a sure touchdown for Oregon, but the collegians were doomed to disappointment, and had to be satisfied with having got nearer the coveted goal than had any previous 'varsity team. Coach Warren Smith, in commenting on the game, said: "The weak points In our opposing team were the tackles and ends. The line was so large that it was hard to buck, al though Oregon got through at times. The 'varsity men all played Well. They all started In good shape, got the charge on Multnomah, and tore up the Interference before It could get started out. For new men Oregon's line held very well, far beyond expectation. Having gone up against such strong teams as Multnomah and Chemawa, the playing of Oregon In future games should be rauch improved." STAFFORD VS. CALIFORNIA. Southern Universities "Will Sleet in Annuel Contest Saturday. The annual football match between the Stanford University and the University of California will be played in San Fran cisco next Saturday. Heretofore, the big game between these institutions haa been played tn Thanksgiving day, but the season has been shortened somewhat and, beginning with this year, the great match will be pulled off on the second Saturday In November. Just what the outcome of (his game wljl be a a matter of much speculation. .Stanford seems to have made a better record than Callr fornla In the games with Olympic and Reliance, but the Nevada games showed the two big institutions to be' of equal strength. The games with Nevada were played last week, and both Stanford and California won by 12-0 scores. This would Jead the critics to believe that the teams are very evenly matched. Berkeley has a strong line and good ends, while Stan ford's ends are below the average, and the line Is only fair. Stanford's great strength is behind the line. Ralph S. Fisher, halfback and captain. Is an Ore gon boy, his home being at The Dalles. Foqtbnll in "Washington. It is almost certain that there will be no game this year between the football teams of the state universities of Oregon and Washington. Owing to Manager Brightman's absolute refusal to agree upon a date that will prove mutually satisfactory, and his unwillingness to make an equitable apportionment of gate receipts, Redmond, the Oregon manager, has called the game off. The Oregon eleven will make a tour of Eastern Wash ington and Idaho, playing Whitman Col lege, Washington Agricultural College and the Idaho University. The record of the present season shows all these teams to be superior to the University of Wash ington, for Whitman and Pullman have already defeated the Seattle team by 12-0 and 10-0 scores, respectively, while Idaho has beaten Pullman, 5-0. A comparison of scores would Indicate that Idaho is the strongest team on the list, but It Is generally thought that the Oregonlans will have a hard time with all three of them. The Oregon team will leave Eugene this afternoon and will spend to morrow In Portland. They will leave on the 6 P. M. train tomorrow for Moscow, where they are billed to meet the Idaho University on Wednesday. 31. A. A. C. vs. Chens awn. Manager Buckenmeyer, of the M. A. A. C. team, has perfected arrangements with the Chemawa Indian team for a game of football, to be played on M. A. A. C. field next Saturday. It Is quite likely that Multnomah will meet the University of Washington In Seattle, November 16. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. SnsKestlon That Institnte Team Should Orcanlre Permanently. The decisive defeat administered laBt Saturday In the Association football game by the Portland Seamen's Institute team to the officers and crew of the British Bhip Cleomene was a matter of favorable comment In athletic circles yesterday. Very few people expected to see the Insti tute men shut out their opponents, but this happened. The most of the sailors are experienced football-players, and are familiar with all the tricks of the tricky game, but their friends are explaining tneir dereat by stating that the tars had not played football for months. Nearly all the Institute men had not played foot ball for two or three years, but six or seven of them are athletes who believe in keeping in training all the time. John Latta has a good record in foot races and horseback-riding. F. R. 8. Balfour is equally at home on horseback, running and playing cricket or football. J. B. Lumgalr Is an all-round athlete, and has a fine record as a cricketer, along with Ernest A. S. Cawston. The Institute men labored at practice an hour or two every morning for a week, and taught the green men the mystery of passing and dribbling and paying a checker-board game to mystify opponents. On the other hand, the Cleomenes worked hard at prac tice, but when the time came they were weak In combination play. They were ably helped by two of the best fullbacks that ever played In this city, Barnard and Cross, two experienced English play ers. Two sailor captains also gave a good account of themselves, Captain Lear mont and Captain McKlnley. The for mer is a magnificent specimen of man hood, and is without doubt one of the most powerfully built men who ever played football on this Coast. Captain McKlnley had not played football for a long time previously, but when he did face the leather he kicked like a vet eran, and often deceived the institute forwards. Rev. Mr. Cumming-Bruce, who helped John Latta to organize the institute team, states that there will probably be other association football games this Winter between the Institute team and elevens composed of the crews of British ships In he harbor. To such an extent has as sociation football grown In the British Isles that nearly every British sailor plays the game. Football enthusiasts in this city wish that the institute team were permanently organized, with elected of ficers. The good working material of the team should not be allowed to scatter, and matches could probably be arranged with association football clubs In Wash ington and British Columbia. A well known athlete gave It yesterday as his opinion that British Columbia clubs can beat Portland at cricket, but not at as sociation football. .. INDOOR BASEBALL. Naval Battalion Defeats First Bat talion Team, 21-10. There was a lively game of indoor base ball at the Armory Saturday evening, be tv een the Naval aBttallon players and the team of the First BatalUon of the Third Regiment, O. N. G. The game was the first of the series in these teams, and those of Light Battery A. and the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment will com-J pete for the championship cup, which is now displayed In the window of LIpman, Wolfe & Co. Saturday night's game was won by the Naval Battalion, the score be ing 21-19. About 400 interested spectators saw the contest. From now on games will be played every Saturday evening until January 18, when the sliver cup will be awarded. The score of Saturday's game follows: FIRST BATTALION. ' , AB. R. IB. PO. A. E. H.

Albany College Players Say They Were Outplayed. The Albany College football team left on the 4 o'clock train yesterday afternoon. The boys accept their defeat gracefully, and entertain the best of feeling toward the Portland Academy players. Coach Fred A. Edwards said yesterday: "We were beaten because we went up against a better team. The Portland Academy players won because they out classed us on offensive plays. Our de fense was weak, because we have had no defensive practice, there being hardly enough candidates at Albany for one good team. We have not had the advantage ot a second team, otherwise our men might have given a better account of them selves. Our team will play the Monmouth Normal, Pacific College and McMlnnvHlo College, and we will do our best to win the league championship." DARK HORSE IN THE HELD ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR DAKEH CITY POSTOFFICE. Fred ,S. Sack Is Urged ,,by Leading; Republican for the 'Place Ac tivity in the Mines. BAKER CITY, Nov. 3. There has been a change in the complexion of the post office contest, or rather there Is another Richard In the field in the person of Fred S. Sack, who fs being urged by some of the leading Republican business men and politicians of this city. Among the know ing ones, Mr. Sack's candidacy Is re garded somewhat in the nature of a dark horse, although It is known that he has a number of active supporters who are not given to fighting in the dark. Mr. Sack, it Is said, has a number of the trm TVZO' " mL.c wz CAPTAINS AND COACHES OF leading business men as his Indorsers, be sides some of the prominent Republican officials and political workers. At the present time Mr. Sack's chances are re garded as being equal to any of the other aspirants. Congressman Moody will de cide the matter as between the several ap plicants In the near future. . Mining; Activity. With the continuance of the finest Fall weather ever known in Eastern Oregon, the unprecedented mining activity In this camp has been greatly augmented. Pros pectors and surface miners are doing more work than ever before, and many more men are In the hills than in any previous season. Work is not confined to any one district. North, south, east and west for miles In every direction development of mining claims Is In progress. At Susan vllle, Roblnsonville, Prairie City, Green horn, Alamo. Red Boy Cracker Creek, Cable Cove, Burnt River, Gold Hill, Braz os, Virtue, Sparta, Cornucopia, North Powder and Balsley-Elkhorn development, extension and Improvement work and ac tive mining and shipping of ore are in full blast. Tons of new machinery have been ordered, are on the nay, and much of It is being delivered and installed. The output of gold and the payrolls of thB mines are rapidly increasing, and the com ing Winter promises to be very lively. ' In the Greenhorn, Alamo and Bonanza districts, lying close together, the new work Is particularly noticeable. Thirty carloads of machinery have been received there for the different mines. The I. X. L. Is putting In a new and extensive hoist ing plant, and Is erecting new buildings; the Tracey is adding new machinery; the immense deep sinking plant of the Bo nanza is being installed; the Psyche is putting In a new mill; the Don Juan Is installing a new hoist, and the new 10 stamp mill for the Phoenix mine, recently sold by Cowglll & Nepple to British cap italists, will be Installed and put In opera tion during this month. Heavy machin ery has also gone Into the Cracker CreBk, Cable Cove, Virtue and North Powder districts. The opening of the Flagstaff this week by the new owners with a large force of men, the Increase of men employed at the old Virtue, the new work at the Berry, the Increased work at the Buckeye, the push, lng of development at the Belcher, Phoe nix, Brazos, Gem and numberless other properties, with the splendid increase In production from the Bonanza, Red Boy, North Pole, Columbia, Virtue, ' Cornu copia, Balsley-Elkhorn, Chloride and other dividend-payers, all presage prosperity. It Is learned from good authority that a large number of mining properties in this camp wjll probably change hands this Fall and Winter. Some of the deals In volve hundreds of thousands "of dollars, and others only as many hundreds. Many people here, In British Columbia and Eng land are interested In the trades. Among the properties on the list as bonded or under negotiation are the Baisley-Elk-horn, Bonanza, Carrol B., Climax. Free Coinage. Kelly, Cracker Jack, New York Gold Mine, Humboldt, the Morning group, Swede group, Flying Dutchman, Blue Bird and Consolidated Oregon. Many other properties, both large and small, are mentioned as soon to be bond ed, and If one-half the expected sales are made, new capital will be put In circula tion In large amounts and new blood will be infused into the camp. All this means greater development and greater produc tion next year. Attempted Snicide. Wesley S. Roberts, of Huntington, shot himself with a revolver Thursday morn ing about 11 o'clock, with suicidal Intent. He was brought to this city last evening, and Is now in St. Elizabeth's Hospital, where he is lingering between life and death, with the chances Very much against his recovery. He says that a woman shot him, and that he will go to his grave without revealing her name or the reason for the shooting. The facts do not coincide with this story. Roberts is a stock man, who. It is said, has seen better days, although there Is no positive evidence to this effect. He has been act ing In a queer manner lately, and1 for some time It has been the opinion of those who observed his actions that no was of unsound mind. Deputy Sheriff Mouda, of Huntington, has looked after Roberts for some time, and has furnished him with money for living expenses. Tho other day Roberts came Into Mouda'a of fice, and from the way he acted Mr. Mouda was satisfied that he meant to do him harm, but he was able to talk him, i ?HjjT " BJl tk M BBS; W WjZfmt flBB iVs Jsf stVVVuJ j& & .'"sLasF- " ssRsssssssssssssl V mrnsfm3msF iwimimmame9BKc rr mmr s.

After that MrvMouda kept a close watch on Roberts, as he was very much afraid of him. Thursday morning Roberts stole a revolver from Mouda and shot himself, the ball entering the left breast, just above the heart, and com ing out below the left shoulder-blade. Roberts declines to talk about himself, saying that he will carry his secrets to the grave. He declares, however, that he will surely kill Mr. Mouda If he ever gets well, but he refuses to say why he has come to such a determination. There Is a story, which comes from Boise City, to the effect that Roberts was in some way connected with the famous Diamond Jack, who is now serving a life sentence in the Idaho penitentiary for miirder, but the officers here do not credit the story. They think that while he probably has a history, It Is not In any way connected with that famous case. NEW INSANE ASYLUM RULES. Employe Must Give Their Undivided Attention to Their "Work.

"Second Excuses for temporary leave of absence will only be granted In case of sickness or Important business, with the exception of the regular vacation allowed, which must be taken In full at one time." It has been found that the absentees from duty has been large under the old rules, thus affecting the service, and ne cessitated changes of employes from dif ferent wards as relief, where they came In contact with patients of different tempera ments and habits, thus causing an Inter ference In the 'proper management of the Insane.

The new German Evangelical Lutheran Church was dedicated today. The serv ices were conducted by Rev. H. Brehens at 10:30, in German, and at 2:30 P. M. by Rev. Mr. Duchow, in English. SUICIDE AT CLATSKANIE. Perry C. French Left Directions for His Funeral. CLATSKANIE, Nov. 3. Perry C. French, a single man about 23 years of age, committed suicide Saturday evening by sending a bullet through his brain. He had recently come West from Lone Tree, Mo., and for the past-three or four days was stopping with the family of an old acquaintance, Sanford Carver.

French, Lone Tree, Mo.; that his money, about $12, be used as far as It would go and his father would pay the balance. The note directed other arrangements for his funeral, naming pallbearers, clergyman, etc., and closed by bidding all 'good-bye and stating that life was not worth living any longer for him.

Preparations Are Being: Made for Over-Ice Travel on Alaska's ( r ' Great River. r PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Nov. 3. The steamer Dlrlgo, arriving from Skag way this evening, brought 100 passengers and 700 tons of canned salmon. Advices brought by the Dlrlgo are to the effect that navigation is practically at an end on the Yukon. October 27 cake Ice was rushing out of Pclly River Into the Yukon, slush Ice was running at Dawson, -and the river is dally expected to close. Great preparations are being made at Dawson, and during the Winter there will be strong competition 7rG for over-ice travel. An opposition stage line to the White Pass Stage Company will be put on. A large force of men is working on roads and trails, and when the river freezes everything will be In I travel over the Ice was large, but It Is thought this Winter's travel will exceed that of any previous Winter.

Pallman, Farmers Are Rapidly Im proving Their Herds. PULLMAN, "Wash., Nov. 3. At no place In the state are the breeds of cattle be ing Improved so rapidly as at Pullman. A second Importation of blooded cattle was made today. J. R. Rupley received ISO head of thoroughbred Shorthorns. Professor Elliott, of tho State Agricul tural College, pronounces this the finest lot of cattle received at Pullman In many years. Mr. Rupley will keep about 100 head for his own farm, and the remainder ft ill be sold to his neighbors. This is the second importation of blood ed cattle by farmers near Pullman, In addition to a carload of thoroughbred cat tle, sheep arid hogs Imported by the State Agricultural College earlier In the sea son. A. E. Reaney, who shipped In two carloads from Kansas City two months ago, Is now in tho East after a tralnload, and will return within the next two weeks. Owing to the drouth In the states of the Mlddlo "West, feed Is scarce, and the price of cattle Is very low. In this country, cattle are scarce and there are thousands of tons of hay which cannot be sold. The farmers are learning that cat tle can be kept on a farm with little ex pense, living on what would otherwise be 'wasted, and at the present rate of In crease, It will be but a short time until every farmer will have a nice herd of cattle on his farm.

' ORES ALL DISEASES "It la a crime to experiment with the health of the people," says Dr. J. Henri Kessler, manager of the Old St. Louis Dispensary at Portland. "If I did not know positively and abso lutely that my new home treatment will cure all diseases of men, even when all other methods of treatment fall, I would consider I was committing a crime to make such a statement to the public. Nothing is so precious to a man as his health nothing so horrible as an Insane Asylum or the grave. Little ills, if not promptly cured, often result in obstinate chronic diseases. I know that my new dis covery Is tho most marvelous treatment ever known, and I Intend to give its benefit to the world. I Intend that every man. woman and child who comes for treatment shall have it. I propose to tell the sick, absolutely free of charge, If they may be restored to perfect health. I would rather be a benefactor to the sick man than to have the wealth of Croseus." The above are remarkable words, but those who know Dr. Kessler, and have tried his treatment, can vouch for their absolute truthfulness. He restores the wasted power of sxual manhood. He also cures to stay cured VARICOCELE, STRICTURE, SYPHILTIC BLOOD POISON, NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY and all associate diseases and weaknesses of man. To these maladies alone he nas earnestly devoted 23 of tho best years of his life. He makes no charge for private consulta tion, and gives each patient a legal contract In writing to hold for his prom le. Is It not worth your while to investigate a cure that has made life anew to multitudes of men? If you cannot call at his office, write him your symptoms fully. His home treatment by correspondence Is always success ful. Address, -always enclosing 10 2-cent stamps. J. HENRI KESSLER, M. D. ST. LOUIS DISPENSARY COR. SECOND AND YAMHILL STS.
