THE MOBNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 23. 1901. ON CHRISTMAS GRIDIRON MUIiTXOMAH AICD CHEMAWA PRE PARE FOR THE CONTEST. Indian Football Playera Hare Good Chance of Victory Reliance Comes on Sew Year's. Just -what the outcome of the Christ mas game between the Chemawa Indians and Multnomah will be Is arousing a great deal of Interest In athletic circles Just at present. Chemawa Is anxious to get another chance at Multnomah, and the Indian boys are practicing diligently. That they can play good football has often been demonstrated In Portland, and the Indians can always be depended upon to play a clean, gentlemanly game. The Multnomah men have not practiced as diligently as they should have done for the coming game, and Chemawa stands an equal chance of winning out. The game ought to be the best-played on Multnomah Field this season. The rest enjoyed by the Multnomah players after the Thanksgiving game has given them new life, and they are now playing harder and faster ball than ever before. Dr. "Wiley G. "Woodruff and Van Vborhles have developed a new "guards back" play to almost perfection This play will be used in the Indian game, to test Its accuracy and to And which is- the best point of attack on the opposing line. A new play has also been developed, wherein Downs, Dolph, Sanders and Mon tague are all sent at the same, point In the opposing llne. This play is 'either di rected inside or outside of tackle, and It is almost impossible to stop, so closely is the formation made. For the last few nights the Multnomah coaches have been placing the line men so as best to stop Chemawa's vicious plunges. The club boys will profit from the last game with Chemawa, when the Indian backs tore great holes In the local lines, and were not downed until brought to earth by the defensive halves or fullback. Bishop, formerly of the Salem Athletic Club, is coaching Chemawa, and will probably play with the team. He is perhaps the ' best end runner that Oregon has ever produced. The game between Multnomah and Re liance, on New Year's day, ought to be a splendid exhibition of gridiron sport, as both elevens are composed of star players. Multnomah Is fully capable of going up against Reliance, and experts say that the wearer of the winged M. have more than a fighting chance to win. William I. Traeger, '03, has been chosen captain of the Stanford University foot ball team for 1902. Traeger's election was unanimous, as he was justly entitled to the position. Traeger entered Stanford in 1S99 and won a place on the 'varsity eleven in his freshman year, playing the position of left tackle. Last year he kicked a field goal during the last few moments of The big Thanksgiving game, thus winning a victory for Stanford. He was one of Stanford's best men this year, and football experts count him among the beit tackles of the country. Harold "Weeks, Columbia's great half back, has been elected captain of his team for the season of 1902. "Weeks has been one of Columbia's star players for three years, and is Justly entitled to the position. VICTORY FOR BATTERY A. Indoor Baseball Team Defeats Sec ond Battalion, 22 to O.

In which he recited the fact that he had been served with an injunction to take no further action as president-secretary-treasurer of the Na tional League and American Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, to which office he says he was notified he had been elected. He says that pending the de cision of the case by the Supreme Court ha must refuse to act further. GOSSIP OF THE RING. Smitb and Nelll Prepare for Their Go on Jannary 23. The Neill-Smlth boxing match, which has been scheduled for January 23, is mousing interest among Portland fol lowers of the sport Nelll and Smith fought a 20-round draw on November 29, but both men will be capable of putting up a much better exhibition, in the com ing fight. Smith says that he was not In good condition for the last bout with Neill, but that on January 23 he will be in the pink of condition. He has already begun to train and puts in each morning out of doors, confining his energies to in door work in the afternoon. Neill has gone to San Francisco, to spend the holiday season with his sisters. He will return to Portland January 3, and go into training immediately. Jack Grant has received a letter from Billy Lavigne, manager of the Acme Club, of San Jose, requesting him to sign Tom Tracey for a fight with young Gibbs, the match to be pulled off in San Jose, on January 10. Owing to his recent severe encounter with Neill, Tracey will not be able to comply with the request. However, he Is willing to meet Glbbs at some later date. The management of the Pastime Club has written to "New York" Jack Cbrien. asking him If he Is willing to meet Tracey at 140 pounds, early in February. A re ply Is expected today. The Pastime man agement is also endeavoring to schedule a match between Rube Ferns and the win ner of the Nelll-Smith contest. Jim Jeffords, of California, and Jim Gal vln, the Irish heavy-weight, have been matched for a 15-round bout before the Keystone Athletic Club, Alenton, Pa., on Deoember 27. The Pastime Club has under contem plation a rather unique scheme of rais- lng money for the Lewis and Clark Cen tennial. It is proposed to give a big box ing exhibition at the Exposition building sometime in February, the entire pro ceeds of which are to go to the Lewis and Clark Centennial fund. TO START INDOOR ATHLETICS. MBltDosRh dab Will Give Medals to StiiHHlate Interest. The basket-ball spirit at the Multnomah Club has not made Itself very evident so far this season. The other teams in the city are well under way, and have played a number of games already. For some reason the members of the club have made no decided effort to organize a team this year. It Is true that a number of the players have attempted to do something toward-that end, but did not continue their efforts In a very strenuous manner. The latest scheme put forth is to have a set of five medals made and organize scrub teams In the club to play for them. In this manner it Is expected to get the players interested, and then form a regu lar club team for match games. The ladles' team at the club, which was so popular last year, has not been heard from, either. None of the girls of last year's team seem to care to continue the sport, and, while there Is an abundance of material outside of the five who played last year, there has been nothing more than class teams formed so far.

For the first attempt In this line the tournament was a succeps. The ama teur championships of the Northwest In five classes were decided, and with one exception all went to Multnomah club inen. Frank McKenzIe, of Pacific Uni versity, at Forest Grove, captured the title In the feather-weight class. A number of outside entries were ex pected, but with few exceptions none were made. Nv one represented any of the cities of "Washington, where it Is known that there are several good men. Neither did British Columbia Idaho nor Montana make any entries. There is surely some thing lacking In the sporting element of those communities. The innovation made by the club in al lowing ladies to attend the matches did not meet -with the rush that was expect ed. The fair sex seemed to be rather timid in venturing out to see the men work with each other on the mat. Of course, as this was the first time that they have been permitted to attend, they were some what shy, but it is expected that when another tournament is arranged their rep resentation will be greatly Increased. Professor Krohn Is doing good work with the "gym" classes, and on the three senior nights each week he has from 20 to 40 members. The men all enter Into the work with hearty enthusiasm, and are doing some clever work, as was dem onstrated by the senior competition held some weeks ago. The Juniors could not be kept away from the club. All the classes are crowded, and Krohn has his hands full In managing them. The march ing exercises displayed by these juniors are excellent, and would make a number of the companies In the local militia blush, to think of their own movements while watching the juniors. After class the swimming tank Is the star attraction. The pool la fairly alive with the youngstens, under the eyes of the ever-watchful attendant. Instructor Bailey, who is always on the look-out for any accident which might happen. Con sidering the numbers of swimmers he has under him, it might be well for the club to hold a swimming tournament. Of the indoor sports, the only one that Is making any showing is the Indoor beseball. A team was organized, and sev eral games have been played already with outside teamE. The most Important was the one they lost to the Y. M. C. A. team last week. However, the boys were not discouraged by the defeat, and arc ready to play again after the holidays. . TURN VEREIN INDOOR CONTEST. Junior Members Give a Creditable Exhibition. A large crowd gathered at Turner Hall gymnasium yesterday afternoon to wit ness the annual Indoor contest by the junior members of Portland Turn Vereln. Professor Krohn, who for the past 10 years has directed the Turn Vereln 'classes, has cause to be proud of the showing his little pupils made, and wap highly complimented at the close of the contest. The contest consisted in all around work on the apparatus, races, marching, and fancy steps. The crowd showed its appreciation by cheering re peatedly, and every one was sorry when the last event was finished. The grapevine race by the little boys proved to be the most exciting event of the afternoon, while the fancy steps by the girls were the most admired. These little girls are very graceful, and per formed some very pretty steps and dances In various combinations and grace movements. Tho nime of the successful contestants will not be disclosed until December 26, when a Christmas party will be given by the Turn Vereln ladies' class. In or der to encourage the little gymnasts to further efforts. MEMORIAL FOR DEMPSEY. Movement to Erect Monument Over Grave of Nonpareil Pugilist. A movement Is on foot In San Francisco to raise a fund to erect a monument over the grave of Jack Dempsey. the Nonpareil middle-weight. Such a move has been contemplated for some time, but It was not until several weeks ago that any defi nite action was taken In the matter. Billy Madden started some talk about It while In San Francisco. Among those who are reported to be looking after the fund are Alex Greggalns, Harry Corbett, Jim Jef fries, Gus Ruhlln, Billy Madden and a number of other well-known sporting men. Tho career of the famous pugilist Is well known on the Pacific Coast, and. In fact, all over the United States, and from the esteem in which he has always been held by the sporting fraternity, It should be no hard matter to raise a good fund to build such a monument. A San Francisco paper gavo the following story In regard to the starting of the movement: A party of (sorting rata wire ff&thertd oa the evening following the Jeflrira-Ruhlln fight In Harry Corbett's cafe. haing a good time en tertaining cna being entertained by Jeffries. In the midst of their revels a well-dretsed stranger called Harry Corbett aside and asked If there would be any objection qftered to the presentation, on the part of the unknown, of a bouquet of flowers to Jeffries in memory of Jock Dempsey. Corbett was considerably surprised at the suggestion, but courteously replied there could certainly be no objection, whereupon the stranger left the cafe. He re turned presently with roses and greenery and presented them to Jeffries In the name of Jack Dempsey, after which he left the company and the place. Jeffries was Immensely pleased and touched, too, and the Incident occasioned the exchange of many recollections and reminis cences of the Nonpareil. Before that little gathering broke up, the Dempsey Memorial Association was practically formed. No definite steps toward increasing the fund have been taken here, but doubtless If an attempt to raise any money was made it would be forthcoming. Tho Pas time Club Is willing to arrange a benefit and give the proceeds to the committee. Jack Dempsey lies burled in the Mount Calvary cemetery, on a hillside west of Portland. He left behind him two daugh ters Alice, aged 14 years, and Annie, 11 years old. The Kansas City Teas. DENVER, Dec. 21 A. B.

THOMPSON His Great Interest in the Worlc of the Humane Society. SEATTLE, Dec. 16. (To the Editor.) The Interesting sketch of Mr. Thompson's life found in the columns of The Orego nlan omitted an Important part of his valued services In connection with humane work, and the writer desires to supply a brief outline embracing the devotion and Interest Mr. Thompson took In the work of tho Oregon Humane Society. For more than a quarter of a century Mr. Thompson was Intimately connected with this society. Twice he was elected president, which office he filled at the time of his death. During this long serv ice, although constant demands were made upon his valuable time In matters pertaining to his personal affairs, he was ever prompt In his attendance upon the meetings of the executive board, contrib uting In many ways to the Interest and success of the work. Previously to Mr. Thompson's departure on nls mission to Turkey he became the first subscriber to the perpetual member, ship fund for the maintenance of the or ganization. Mr. Thompson's commanding figure wag always seen at the anniversary entertainments given by the Humane So ciety, presenting prizes to the school children for compositions. Many a heart and home has been made glad when he placed the gold coin In the hands of the successful competitors. In the death of Mr. Thompson the Oregon Humane So ciety and the community has sustained a sad lose. The school children also will greatly miss the entertaining and instruc tive lectures of travels in foreign lands. "W. T. SHANAHAN, Corresponding Secretary Oregon Humane Society. THE DEATH ROLL.

ARATA & CO., 104NTHIRD STREET, NEAR WASHINGTON, ABINGTON BUILDING TREASON IN MINDANAO DAVIS ASKS FOR MILITARY COX TROL OP A PROVINCE. Several Recent EnfrnRcments In the Island ClinfTce Is Confident of the Future. MANILA, Dec 22. General George W. Davis, commanding at Zambganga, Is land of Mindanao, has requested that the Province of Mlsamis, Mindanao, again he placed under military control. General Davis has proof that the re cently elected President and Vlcc-Coun-clllors and the leading men of Cagayan de Misamls, are guilty of treason in fur nishing ammunition to the insurgents within the past month. The fiscal of the Province of Misamas Is also Impli cated. The evidence shows that all these men are members of the secret Katlpunan Society. General James F. Wade, commanding the American forces on Cebu Island, concurs In and indorses the request of General Davis, and re viewing the situation in Mindanao, says he Is satisfied that the ends of justice, peace and good government will soon be obtained by the restoration of military control to the Province of Mlsamis and the overcoming of all resistance to that authority. It is expected that the Unit ed States Philippine Commission will re fuse this request, as they did a similar application made Dy General Chaffee concerning the Province of Tayabas, Luzon, where the rebels have recently been particularly active. Every effort to decrease the expenses of the American Army In the Philippines Is having little effect, owing to the In crease of army stations, due partly to the activity of the Insurgents 'on the Island of Samar, in Batangas and Tay a'bas Provinces, and In other places, and also to the establishment of , municipal government in many towns, which has necessitated sending troops there to pre serve order. Captain John S. Park. Jr., with 30 men of the Twenty-first Infantry, encoun tered 00 insurgents last week at Alamlnos, in Laguna Province. Four of the enemy were killed and several of the guns were captured and their barracks destroyed. General Bell, who Is In command of the American forces In Batangas Province, Luzon, has praised Lieutenant James D. Tllford, who, while scouting with troop D, of the First Cavalry, routed an In surgent force In that province. Lieuten ant Tllford located a rebel stronghold on top of a hill near the town of Batangas. He surrounded the enemy under cover of night and attacked them at daylight. Their surprise was complete. Nineteen Insurgents were killed while attempting to escape. Lieutenant Tllford captured 18 rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition. A detachment of scouts of the Second Infantry also had a small engagement with the insurgents. In which they killed nine men and captured four. Lieutenant John D. Hartman, of the First Cavalry, during an expedition, en countered the enemy six separate times without losing one of his men. Ho de stroyed several barracks. Two priests have been arrested in Ba tangas Province. They were found to have hidden behind the altar of their church appliances for counterfeiting mo ney. They are charged with manufactur ing silver dollars to pay the insurgent soldiers. General Chaffee, speaking with the cor respondent here of the Associated Press on the situation in the Islands, said he considers conditions in the Philippines to be hopeful and that by the end of Feb ruary all the turbulent provinces will have been pacified. General Chaffee ex cepts the Island of Samar, however, which will probably require some months long er. There tho situation demands a pol icy of rigid starvation and the.glving of food only to those who surrender or who stay In the towns. The closing of the ports of Laguna and Batangas Provinces in Luzon, has had a most salutary effect, as the measure has resulted In touching the pockets of the Manila Filipinos, who have been aiding the Insurgents. The former rfre anxious now for peace and are working to that end. In order to has ten matters, these Filipinos will co-operate with the forces under General Bell in Batangas and Laguna.

"Warrentn Constipated Old Age Isn't it too bad that so many people, when they get old, get cranky and rickety and mean, and don't feel right towards themselves or anybody else; yet it need not be so. "TJ m All old people's muscles get weak and flabby, and it's the same with the muscular walls of their intestines as with the muscles of their arms. When the bowels grow weak, the old folks get constipated, bilious, sick, helpless, irritable, and that's the chief cause of their death. Old folks should take Cascarets Candy Cathartic bowel tonic, keep their liver lively, their bowels regular and strong and live to be a hundred. AS DR, J. HENRI KESSLER ment St. Louis Medlcnl and.
