Multnomah to PIayv Oregon's
Star Team Christmas.
ALUMNI TO HELP OUT JVARSITY
University of Orcgroik Graduates and
Best Players From; Eugene Will
Form a -Strong Eleven Fac
ulty -Gives Consent.
Arrangements -were perfected last even
ing for a Christmas footballjame between
Multnomah and an All-Oregon eleven,
consisting of the present "University of
Oregon team and alumni. 'The 'varsity
will send down its best -meri.x who will be
greatly strengthened by addition of Jak
way, Ziegler, Charles Templeton, Bradley,
Wagner and a number of other old-time
stars.
The players will assemble in this city
on Monday, December 22, and will begin
practice for the big contest. In age,
weight and experience, the All-Oregon
team will bo one of the strongest aggre
gations that ever set foot on M. A. A. C.
field, and the contest with Multnomah
ought to be well worth seeing.
Fred Ziegler, 1902, will appear :tn his old
position at left end, and Jakway, 1301, will
be pitted against Pratt, at left tackle.
Charles Templeton, 1899, and Bradley,
1899, two 'varsity players of days gone by,
"will appear behind the line, while Wagner,
1901, or McKinney, Oregon's present cen
ter, will pass the ball from the scrimmage
line. There is a possibility of several oth
er Oregon graduates appearing In the line
up, among them being Coleman, Wilson
and Edmunson. None but amateur ath
letes in good standing will be allowed to
play in the game, and the club men; will
play the same line-up as in previous
games of the season. Captain Homer
Watts will be shifted from tackle to end
or halfback, and as he is a very speedy
man, ought to make a good showing. The
presence of the alumni players will instill
confidence into the 'varsity boys, and they
will come to Portland determined to give
Multnomah the hardest struggle on record.
The clubmen realize that the AH-Oregp"n
team will prove a difficult proposition, and
from now on rlcid practice will be in orr
der. The university team will not practice-
until the latter part of next week,
when light signal work will bo under
taken. After the team assembles here,
the finishing touches will be put on, and
preparations made for the best game of
the year. Officials for the contest will be
agreed upon this evening.
FACULTY GIVES COKSEXT.
Athletic 1 Council Indorses
the
Christmas Game.
EUGENE, Or., Dec. 12.-SpecIal.) The
Athletic Council this eenlng gave Man-d
ager xa. ji. wrignc tne autnority-, to ar
range for the M. A. A. C. game, to be
played In Portland Chrlstmasi'day, and;
late this evening Captain I. H. "Watts
made definite arrangements Ith the
Multnomah manager, and the game is as
sured. The All-Oregon team will receive
their .signals tomorrow, and will collect
in Portland Saturday, December 20, to go
through regular practice. The - old and
young collegians will appear on Christmas
day as follows:
Center, Wagner or McKinney; right
guard, Kerron; right tackle, Thayer; right
end. Captain I. H. Watts; left guard, Ed
mundson or Frlzzell; left guard, Jakway;
left eh'd, Ziegler; quarterback; Bradley or
Scott; fullback, C. Templeton; left half
back, Ray Goodrich; right halfback, J.
Templeton.
As these are men who have several
years of football experience, a few even
ings of practice will suffice to get team
-work, for offensive play and signals. No
practice Is needed for defensive play, as
this is one feature of football where ex
perience means more than mere training.
The men who have been chosen from the
present 'varsity team .will go into train
ing tomorrow. .The enthusiasm is intense
among the students, faculty and citizens.
Fisher, of Portland, and Judd, of Salem,
will probably officiate.
MORE CLAIMS FROM SEATTLE.
Basket-Bali Captain Asserts Title to
Unearned Championship. ,
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec 10. (To the Ed
itor.) I see by The Oregonian of Decem
ber 8 that you take delight in running the
Seattle basket-ball team down. You
seem to think that the Portland Y. M C.
A. has a better right to the championship
of the Coast than the Seattle team had.
It is one thing to think a team holds the
championship and another thing for them
to prove it. If you have a little spare time
I would like to give you a few true re
corded facts, not assumed ones. In the
first place, Seattle Is on Its third season
without a single defeat. Can Portland
show such a record? No.
Next, Seattle scored 4S6 points last year
against 102 by her opponents, a difference
of '3S4 points. Can any other team show
the same scores? ,
Next, Seattle has defeated Portland for
the last four years by scores from 2 to 1
to 2 to 1. N
Two years ago Portland made a trip to
Victoria. B. C, where she was defeated.
Last year, besides being defeated by Se
attle 44 to 19, she was defeated by Van
couver, B. C, and she was also defeated
by a team in the small town of Salem,
Or.
While Portland was losing Seattle was
winning by large scores from Victoria,
B. C, Tacoma, Wash., Spokane, Wash.,
and a number of other teams.
One of your papers came out and said
that It was a well-known fact that Seattle
had been practicing on the Armory floor
prior to the Oakland games for a week or
more. I would like to say that two of
our team had never been on the floor until
the night of the games, and that the other
three had. not been on the floor since 1S9S,
when she defeated Portland, 21 to 27.
I take it for granted that the facts were"
furnished to you, and were not of your
own writing, and I can put my hand dn
the man that gave them to you.
Hoping that I have not taken too much;
of your time and have made the matter,
clear, I remain,
WILLIAM D. TEMPLE,
Captain Seattle Y. M. C. A. Basket-Bail
Team, Champions Pacific Coast.
It is very fortunate that the Seattle
Y. M. C. A. basket-ball people have at last
come to the front and presented some
tangible arguments as to "why they should
be considered the Pacific Coast -champions.
The only source of Information regarding
the matter heretofore available has been
the news columns of the Seattle papers,
which, as has been said before, have very
remarkable systems of reasoning and fig
uring, and on that account they are a
trifle unreliable as to facts. Now, how
ever. It is all settled, as any one can -see,
by the above epistle.
But suppose the letter Is taken Itself
and the charges tackled one by one. To
take them all at once would be like stop
ping the north wind with a bellows, and
Just as impracticable. The only thing to
dois to take the letter piecemeal and
work out the Seattle idea from the start
In rgard to the opening sentence, not a
single' word deprecatory to the Seattle
Y. M. C. A. -was uttered in the article
referred to, as any one can see by reading
it. . The matter was simply mentioned
In connection with the fact that the Se
attle papers were great clalmers.
Next, it was not stated that Portland
claimed the championship.. It was slm
ply stated, that Portland would resUfthe
Seattle claim, which any one has a. per
fect right to do. ;
"It Is one thing to think a team holds
the championship and another "thing-- to
prove It." This was virtually the; advice
offered to the Seattle papers, and it still
would be well worth their reading. It was
never proved that the Seattle team won
the championship.
In regard to the many statements of
the wonderful records that Seattle has
made in the past, they have no. bearing on
the subject Last year is not this year,
and what the Seattle team did last year
or the year before has nothing to do with
the matter. Harvard won from Yale
last year, but that doesn't signify that
they hold the championship tills year. A
game was necessary to. settle it, and a
game should settle the basket-ball ques-
tlon In the same way.
Whether one of the Portland papers
came out and said that the Seattle, team
had Teen practicing on the Armory ground
has nothing to do with the point at Issue.
The' Seattle playefs may have practiced,
or they may not have practiced in the
Armory. If they didn't, and think It was
to Oakland's advantage, let them take
into consideration that the Oakland team'
was worn out by two hard games when
they hit Seattle, and that they were prac
tically fresh when they hit Portland.
The meaning of the paragraph about
the facts being furnished Is not clear, but
if they were facts, as the Seattle captain
says they were, then what's he kicking
about? The Oregonian took its material
from the Seattle papers, and from no one
else, and the Seattle papers are to blame,
and not The Oregonian.
Lastly, it cannot be said that the letter
writer has explained or made the matter
any clearer. He simply butts Into .print
with the remark that Seattle is the Pa
cific Coast which is incorrect, so far as
an unprejudiced observer can see.
The following Quotation 1b taken from
the article In The Oregonian which the
correspondent has been hitting so hard:
"We are not aware that the Portland T. M.
C. A AU-Star team claims the championship,
but they will resist the claim of Seattle until
a game can be pulled off that will really settle
the matter one way or the other. As has been
remarked before In these columns, scores made
In games count for a lot more than those made
on paper.

SPOKANE MAN WANTS TO BACK
TEAM IN PORTLAND.
He Assures President Lucas That He
"Will Fnrnish the Money Mar
shall Says New Leoeme la a Go.
SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 12. (Special.)
Harry Green, the well-known sporting
man of this city, declared this evening
that if the Portland team jumped the Pa
cific Northwest League and Its franchise
was forfeited, he would furnish the money
and put a team In the Oregon metropolis.
He has informed President Lucas of his
Intentions, and It looks as though Green
would secure a new franchise If one Is
given, so as to make sure that the' Port
land club will be In the hands of those
friendly to the Pacific Northwest League,
and not to the California League.
That the National Association Is stand
ing .behind the Pacific Northwest League
Is Evidenced by the' following telegram,
received by President Lucas from M. H.
Sexton, chairman of the arbitration com
mittee of the association and president of
the Western League:
"Are newspaper reports true that Port
land and .Seattle jumped to the California
.League? Can we help you?"
IS RESTING EASILY.
Pacific Coast Baseball Leagne Does
Not Care What Lncas May Do.
J. P. Marshall, treasurer of the Port
land baseball -club is not worrying abqut
what the president of the Pacific North
west League may decide to do regarding
the placing of an opposition team in Port
land. "It is up to Mr. Lucas," said Mr. Mar
shall to The Oregonian last evening. "The
new baseball association does not know
what Mr. Lucas really intends to do in
this connection, nor does it care. His
action can have no possible effect on
ours. We have made all our arrange
ments except the closing of minor de
tails. There will be a meeting of the new
association in San Francisco shortly after
New Year's, at which the schedule for
the coming season will be drawn up, and
we will proceed with our business en
tirely regardless of what Mr. Lucas may
do or think. We have our circuit formed
and we have secured our grounds in
which to play. Mr. Lucas has neither of
these matters attended to, and should he
be so ill-advised as to put In an opposi
tion team In Portland, he will very rap
Idly find out that the public will support
the organization that puts up the best
quality of ball.. And,'" said Mr. Mar
shall, "we are that organization."

National' League Arranges Confer
ence W4h. American League.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. The National
League of Baseball Clubs completed its
business tonight and adjourned, subject
to the call of President Harry Pulliam,
who was elected to the principal executive
office today. The next session of the
league will probably not be held until its
committee having in charge the task of
concluding a "peace" arrangement with
the American League Is ready to report
Before-the election of officers the peace
committee, consisting of August Herr
man, of Cincinnati; James A. Hart of
Chicago, and Frank Dehass Robinson, of
St Louis, met the peace committee of the
American League Ban Johnson, J. F.
Kllfoyle and James Summers at the Cri
terion Hotel. The session of the commit
tee was executive, and at the close It was
announced that a - further conference
would be held January 5 at a place to be
selected by Mr. Johnson.
The principal business transacted by the
National League members today was the
abolition of the executive committee and
the unanimous selection of Harry Pulliam,
of Pittsburg, to the consolidated offices
of president, secretary and treasurer. Be
fore the election of Mr. Pulliam, a letter
of resignation from N. E. Young was
read. Mr. Young has directed the affairs,
of the National League for many years
and retired because of -111 health. He
was elected to honorary membership in
the league, and subsequently was. made
an honorary life member of. the board of
directors.
The following new board of directors
was elected: John T. Brush, New York;
A. H. Soden, Boston; Barney Dreyfuss,
Pittsburg, and James A. Hart, Chicago.
Mr. Johnson today admitted that under
no circumstances would the American
League consent to withdraw from New
York. He further Intimated that a state
ment as to the exact location of the
new grounds might be looked for in a
day or two. The American League will,
it is understood, Insist in the peace nego
tiations that contracts with players now
signed be rigidly lived up to. This, means
that large salaries, If peace is declared,
will be maintained only until the present
contracts expire, when they will be great
ly reduced. The American League will
also insist that each organization retain
the players It now has, and severe pen
alties be meted out- to those who violate
the contracts.

this week is the annual gymnastic exhibi
tion to be given by the Turners at Turn
Halle gymnasium tonight Much Interest
Is centered In these exhibitions, and a big
crowd will turn out to witness the per
formance. The most attractive numbers
will probably be the Indian club drill by
the girls and the dumb-bell drill by the
boys' class. A scientific five-round spar
ring contest between Charles Swanson
and Collie Druhot will close the evening's
entertainment.

FITZHUGH LEE ON CUBA
CLEVELAND INDIFFERENT TO HOR
RORS OF WAR,
Ex-Consnl-GenernI Tells , of Per
ils to Which He Was Exposed
Who Blew Up the Maine.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. General Fltzhugh
Lee addressed the members of the Patria
Club tonight on "The United States and
Cuba." He said in- part:
"Cuba never was so well governed by
Spain as she is today. Congress, wearied
of the ware in Cuba, passed resolutions
recognizing the rights of belligerency of
the insurgents and then came the war. 1
want to say that I represented to Presi
dent Cleveland the exact condition of af
fairs that existed there. I reported the
rebellion with all Its brutalltlea and hor
rors and told him that it would continue
for several generations, if not brought to
a speedy end. Mr. Cleveland gave no at
tention to my reports and it was not un
til that great man, now sleeping hie last
sleep In Canton, O., took charge of affairs
In Washington, that these atrocious con
ditions were brought to an end.
"Cuba is well worthy the attention of
the American people. It is the richest
spot on God's green earth. It has been
waiting for a half century for American
energy and enterprise. If we had not sac
rificed wisdom for sentiment, we would
own Cuba today.
"Prior to the war with Spain, when I
was Consul-General In Cuba, there were
repeated attempte to assassinate me.
Wherever I went I had to sit with my
back to the wall and my hand on my six
shooter. I received 20 and 30 letters a day
In which I was threatened with all manner
of death."
General Lee then recited the Incidents of
the blowing up of the Maine and told of
General Blanco's action after the catas
trophe. "I want to say here and for all time,"
he continued, "that General Blanco and
his officers had no more to do with the
blowing up of the Maine than had the
people of New York City. It la my belief
that some of the young officers left In the
arsenal by General Weyler blew up the

What the Manager Says.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich., Dec. 12.
Francis H. Clergue, general manager of
the Consolidated Lake Superior Company,
stated today that he knew no cause for
the sensational decline in the stock of
rthat company. The steel plant, he said,'
had closed, because all orders were filled.
Last night thQ company received orders
from the Canadian government for steel
rails sufficient to keep the mills in contin
uous operation at prices satisfactory to
the company. He further stated that the
company's .various operations were pro
gressing with satisfaction; that the com
pany owns outright all Its various mines
and plants, free bonds or mortgages, and
that the only bank loans are those for
current and operating expenses, and that
these have never been equal to the ma
