ACADEMY GETS THE GAME
INTERCOLLEGIATE BASKET - BAIJ.
LEAGUE REACHES A DECISION.
Referee Brewster Overruled and the
High School Must Play AsralB.
for the Wrls-ht Cap.
"Is the editor In? We " started the
one In red.
"It's our cup, and " Interrupted the
emallest of the trio, and her eyes flashed
ominously.
"Here's the referee's decision, and he
says " breathlessly asserted the captain
of the team.
"That it's our CUP. and we want it,"
and the littlest one stamped her foot and
defiantly shook her head.
A newspaper staff grows accustomed to
visitors, but it isn't often that a bevy of
pretty High School girls havo a grievance
of sufficient seriousness, even to them
selves, to make them brave enough in
their indignation to ask for the editor.
It's basket-ball. A disputed game and
the "Wright trophy cup are the main points
in the discussion. There was a. meeting of
the Girls' Interscholastlc Basket-Bali
League yesterday, at which a decision was
rendered sustaining the protest of the
Portland Academy team in the game
.played with the Portland High School
team last Saturday, in which the score
was but that's the point at issue, and
it Is unsafe to say what the score really
was.
The High School girls declare that It was
11 to 10 in favor of their team; .the Acad
emy girls claim that It was 10-8 In favor
of their team. After the meeting the three
delegates representing the High School
held an Indignation meeting and decided
that the public should be apprised of the
'details. Hence the visit to the editor's
office.
"Will you print something for us, and
how much will it cost, please?" asked the
spokesman. Miss Alice Tidcombe, captain
of the High School team.
"It will cost a fortune," suggested her
sister Nellie, who plays forward on tho
team.
"It doesn't matter if it costs two for
tunes," asserted Miss Bessie Jones, with a
reckless disregard for the expense. "We
want it printed."
"Yes, we want it printed," said the other
two.
The Item to be printed, no matter how
great the cost, read as follows:
Vancouver, "Wash., Dec. 16. I hereby certify
that I did decide the basket ball game played
on Saturday, December 14, 1901, between the
Portland Academy and Portland High School,
In favor of the Portland High School, and,
furthemore, I hereby certify that I made but
one decision, that being the one aforesaid.
I declare that time was called when the ball
was In its course to the basket, basing my de
cision on rule 10, section 28.
(Signed.) GEORGE BREWSTER.
The document was witnessed by George
Eagleton and W. H. Brewster. Rule 10,
section 28, referred to, reads as follows:
If a player throws for a goal and the whistle
of the referee, umpire or timekeeper sounds
-while the ball Is In the air, and the throw re
sults in a goal. It shall count, except In section
20 of this rule.
Section 50 provides that the throw shall
be a fair one under tho rules of the game.
"That shows we won, don't It?" asked
Captain Alice.
"I threw the ball, and the whistle didn't
sound until after I had let It go," declared
Miss Nellie, who was playing forward in
the game.
"And we ought to have the game. Why,
what do you think they did?" queried Miss
Bessie Jones.
The reporter didn't know.
"They refused to consider the signed dec
laration of the referee; said it was pre
sented after the protest was filed, and
couldn't be admitted."
"Why, they even refused to play in any
other athletic contests if we didn't give
them, the game. Wasn't that mean?
asked the captain.
"Portland Academy claims the ball was
in the forward's hands when the whistle
blew. See what the referee says. Doesn't
that settle it? He ought to know," and
there was a note of finality In Miss Jones'
voice, as though the matter was settled,
at least in her own mind.
At the league meeting yesterday the
three teams in the league were represented
as follows:
Portland Academy H. H. Herdman, Bes
sie Strong, Marguerite Labbe.
Portland High School Alice Tidcombe,
Nellie Tidcombe, Bessie Jones, the latter
president of the league.
St Mary's Academy Minnie Wise, Eva
Kelly, Bertha Baldwin.
On the question of agreeing to the pro
test the vote stood:
Ayes H. H. Herdman, Bessie Strong,
Marguerite Labbe, Bertha Baldwin.
Noes Alice Tidcombe, Nellie Tidcombe,
Bessie Jones.
The protest was sustained and the game
given to the Portland academy. As the
jscore now stands in the race for the tro
,phy cup, the academy and High School
teams have each defeated St. Mary's twice
and the leaders have defeated each other
twice. The deciding game will be played
January 4, and It will be for more than
the cup.
"We beat them last year, and we will do
it this," emphatically declared Miss Alice,
the captain.
"You wait," said Miss Nellie, "and see
how badly they are defeated. They've got
'the cups now for football and baseball
Irom the boys "
"And we are going to win the basket
ball cup for the honor of the school," said
the captain.
"We've always done that." said Miss
'Jones, and the three little maids from
school left the editorial office satisfied that
justice would be done their cause.
BROWNSVILLE WOOLEN MILL
STOCK.
Greatest Sale of the Year.
The bankrupt sale of Brownsville Wool
en Mills goods is proving to be the big
gest sale of the vear. Hundreds nf nun.
pie visit the store on Washington street,
between First and Second streets, and all
are pleased at the big bargains being
sold. The sale Is under the management
of J. L. Bowman, assisted by Mr. Walter
Holt and Mr. Fred Bishop. Every cus
tomer is waited upon in a gentlemanly '
manner, and made to feel that their trade
is appreciated. Many ladles of Portland
are taking advantage of the sale to pur
chase cloth by the yard for tailor and
rainy-day suits. There yet remains about
100 bolts of cloth, also 1S5 pairs of blan
kets of all colors and sizes have been re
ceived from the mills this morning, and
are being sold at half regular prices.
EXTRAORDINARY, BEAUTIFUL
A lady who has traveled extensively and
who Is an excellent observer said yester
day: "The stock carried by the G. Helt
kemper Co. Is far ahead of jewelrv stocks
usually shown in cities of 100.000 people.
This stock of fine gems, jewelry of ex
quisite design and finish, silver in an in
describable variety, clocks, cut glass, jew
elers' umbrellas and leather. Tiffany ware,
watches, novelties, would be a credit to
any city in the world. Then the stock
is new; no old carrled-over pieces are
seen, but all are new and late designs.
In the matter of prices also the Heitkem
per prices are lower by actual compari
son than the same articles which I priced
In New York." This Is certainly a com
pliment, and our efforts shall aim to
maintain such opinions as are expressed
about us

WHY THEY WERE FINED.
J ml pre Cameron Holds Frequenter of
11 GamliUnK-Honsp Are Amenable.
Municipal Judge Cameron gave a de
cision yesterday In the cases where two
Chinamen and six Japanese were arrested
In a, house on Couch street, near Second,
charged with frequenting a gambling
house. The Chinamen were each fined $15
and the Japs $3.
"The evidence shows that, when Ser
geant Church and tho other officers
knocked at the door of the house, the
door was barred and locked, and some
three or four minutes elapsed before they
secured admittance In fact, they were In
the act of breaking It down," stated the
Judge, "It was also shown that the Japs
were industriously reading newspapers
when the door was ultimately opened, and
that the two Chinamen have been fre
quently seen In the place before. The
men had been playing a 2T game at a
table a game where only cards and
money are required. The players had
ample time to hide money and cards
during the time which elapsed between
the arrival of the police and their admit
tance to the room. If they could have
secreted the gaming table, they would
have done so. But the glaring fact re
mains that a placard was nailed to a
wall, covered with Chinese characters,
stating that a certain percentage of the
winnings went to the dealer. Under the
city ordinance. It was not necessary to
find the defendants actually engaged in
gambling, but I am convinced that they
were frequenting a gambling-house."

The Court Doesn't Know Menmvhlle
He Lnnpuljhei for Draukcnntni.
James HIckey had another hearing In
the Municipal Court, having been charged
with the larceny of a ham on the com
plaint of Paul Loewlg. The star witness
at the hearing was "W. C. Cowan, of Ful
ton. "I was In the saloon when I saw
Hickey cut down the ham, and the ham
fell in a litter of puppies, and they all
squealed." testified Cowan. "Then Hick
ey ran, but he was tripped up by two
men. While we were talking about the
matter two or three firemen approached,
and one of them said: 'Leave this man to
us. "We will turn him over to the po
lice." I thought the firemen were detec
tives, so I made no objection. But I
found out afterwards that the firemen
allowed the man to escape, and that was
the last I saw of him."
"Do you know thoset firemen's names?"
asked the Judge.
"No, but I can find out, and I want
them cinched, and I want them arrested,
and I want "
"You must not speak disrespectfully of
firemen," advised the Judge. "If you have
a bona fide complaint against any one. a
warrant will be Issued." Cowan then, sub
sided, and Hickey, who was arrested last
week, charged with drunkenness, was
sent to jail for SO days. In the mean
time Cowan went about the courtroom
making remarks about firemen in general,
and a practical joker took him In hand!
"If you want a warrant for the arrest of
any fire.r.-in I can arrange the matter,
said he. and then the two had a whispered
I conversation. Ten minutes after this
Cowan emerged from the room bearing
a "fake" warrant drawn, up by the joker.
out. oi mis iacc cowan was not aware.
The last seen of the warrant server was
when he walked rapidly up town, as
serting that he was on the warpath to
arrest firemen.
