THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY,.. NOVEMBER 4, 1903.
QUIET AMONG FANS
Meeting of Baseball Club Set
for December.
OFFICERS MAY BE CHANGED
Ely Will Probably Be Retained as
Manager, and if So Will Leave
at Once for the East
After New Players.-
Brsod&II affairs will rest quietly in
1orUHi until the return of Manager Fred
Ely and until after the annual meeting of
the Portland Baseball Association, which
will be held the pocond week in December.
At this meeting many things will come up
for final settlement. Unless the unex
pected should happen Fred Ely will man
age the team next season. Just as soon
us this la settled definitely he will stare
East and have a free hand In signing such
stars as he wishes.
Since he succeeded Vigneux he has re
ceived a. dozen or more letters from, play
ers In both the American and National
Leagues asking for a berth with the
Browns for next season. All of these let
ters he has answered and once In the East
he will have no trouble In signing some of
the best balltossers in the business. If
Manager Ely should sign those who have
already written for positions he could fill
every position on the team. Eastern ball
players have their eyes on the Pacific
Coast League. The salaries" are Just as
large as those paid in the East and the
season is two months longer. Then, too,
many of them wish to visit the Coast and
they know by playing ball out here they
will have a chance to see the country.
There will be a general shaking up of the
team, this much Is assured, and it would
not be surprising to see the Browns romp
ing around the Twenty-fourth street
grounds with only a few of the old faces
In evidence. Another thing is certain, next
reason oach player will be forced to keep
himsolf in condition and any player who
does not walk the narrow path or who
takfv on too much fat will find himself
minus a bundle of his month's salary, do
ing a bit of a stunt at bench warming.
Manager Ely got hold of the Browns too
late to change their method of handling
themselves aud their mode of living. Those
who went their own way, stayed out all
night and reported for playing sodden
eyed and stupid with the aftermath of
stale beer and cigars, were carefully noted
by Ely. They were regularly toasted by
the managor, but the season was too far
advanced to administer the kind of pun
ishment that would have brought the
offenders up with a turn. Ely has been
too long in the business to expect too
much of a ball player, but he will see to
it. when he is signing men for next sea
ton, that they are ball players who will
piay ball, keep In condition and keep
straight. The day of the drunken ball
player, like the tramp printer, has passed.
Thero are too many sober and bright,
brainy men in the business these days to
fooi along with players who violate every'
rule of the trained athlete.
No set of men ever playing ball were
treatea better than were the Browns by
the local management. Some of them
Tully appreciated this, but thero were cer
tain playors on the team and their names
could bo mentioned if need be who ac
cepted every favor offered them and on
the heels of this went out to the Vauhn
etreet grounds and played the bummest
kind of ball. Their one Interest was pay
day and that only because It brought .with
It the means with which to buy beer. They
did not have the Interest of the team, at
heart, nor the interest of the management
or the men from whom they were con
stantly receiving favors. It was these
same players, when the Internal disruption
took place, who were Instrumental in
keeping the Browns from filling their en
gagement at Seattle. And the strangest
part of the w'hole matler is that the very
players who had received the most favors
were the first to attempt to block the
wishes of the directors.
In Justice to the few faithful scouts on
the team, It may be said that they al
ways played ball and played their best.
One or two of them have stayed up late,
or they might havo tanked up a bit more
than was good for them, the night before,
but they never did this when they were
opposing first division teams and if they
did it was not more than once or twice,
during the season. The conduct of some
of the players was common talk among
the fans and when they paid their good
coin at the gate to see a ball game and
instead were treated to poor ball, they did
not hesitate to express their opinion of
the players and their method of caring for
themselves. During the season at least 50
letters were received from fans, with their
names signed, telling of certain players
and of their carousals, and the sporting
editor came In for more than one roasting
because these letters never found their
way into print.
Enough of these players; they will not be
drawing down salaries next year, but in
their place will be the best that high
salaries can hire. It Is for this purpose
that the capital stock of the club Is to be
increased from $10,000 to $20,000. There will
hardly be another alleged war and next
season players will not be allowed to run
wild out of fear of their Jumping to the
opposition. The men who were so loyal
last season will again be behind the guns,
onlv they will not be so much in the fore
ground. After the annual meeting It Is
almost certain that a new set of officers
will handle the local affairs. It is hardly
possible that President Prael will again
officiate as president. He is not smitten
with the office, but In his place will be a
man equally as prominent in the com
mercial affairs of Portland and with him
on the board of directors will be men
whose names In the business world of the
city are good to conjure with. The offi
cers now In. office have handled the affairs
of the club In a splendid manner, but they
feeltlmt they have helped the club over
tho "rough places and that It Is time for
some one else to step In and help carry
the good work on. They became inter
ested In basoball out of the pleasure of the
thing. They got little pleasure because
the" were constantly the butt of every
body's kick. Next season they want to
be in a position to see the games and not
to be worrying about the details of the
club.
The manager is to have an office and he
will be the It. This office wiil be a double
sort of affair, a place where 'the members
of tho team can do their writing and a
place where they can receive their mall.
Lending sporting papers will be kopt on
file and It will be as nearly like a club
room as possible.
Th Improvements on the grounds will
be started soon. It is the intention of the
club to build a new grandstand and in
crease the bleacher capacity. The right
field fonoe will be set back fully ten feet
and any player that will lift a ball over
that portion of the fence for a home run
will dout the ball the hardest lick of his
life.

Man Is Unable to Give Up Anything
and Is Beaten.
Four men, evidently rounders of the
North End, clubbed a well-dressed man
early yesterday morning at the corner of
Third and Burnslde streets, after going
through his clothes as he stood on the
street corner. According to the state
ments of two witnesses, the five men were
upon the street at 4 o'clock. The selected
victim of the thugs was slightly intoxi
cated, and allowed one of the thieves to
go through his poskets. Finding nothing
of value, the thief picked up a heavy piece
of scantling and struck tho victim on the
head so blood could plainly be seen
streaming from tho wound. No officer
was in sight and the parties to the affair
have disappeared without any reports be
ing made to the police.

WOKE STRAINED SHTLES.
Florodora Girls Nurse Bruises Be
tween Their Songs.
It Is seldom that comic opera and emo
tional drama are played on the same
stage at the same time, yet such a com
bination of histrionic effects occurred
when "Florodora" was presented yester
day afternoon and last evening. o
The audiences saw but one side; the
smiling faces and happy voices. It was out
In the wings and behind the scenes that
tho other was presented. For there were
many of the company who did not escape
Injury In the Southern Pacific wreck near
Selma, California, early Sunday morning,
and when the injured were not busy with
noisy mirth on the stage they were nurs
ing their bruises.
In fact those who attended the show
came near to having the unique experi
ence of witnessing the flirtatious sextette
operate on crutches. For the sextette
song being the feature of the show can
not be omitted not even when three of
the sextette girls are nursing sprained
ankles, a fourth has a wrenched arm and
the other two are more or less bruised.
"Sorry, girls, but you'd better get
through the best you can," said Stage
Manager Kiernan, who was directing af
fairs with his right arm done up in a
sling.
Oh, tell me, pretty maiden, are there any
more at homo like you?
There are a few, kind sir, and pretty maids
and proper, too.
When, the stately misses of the sextette
strolled onto the stace there was not a
pout or the least sign of distress In any
face. In fact they all looked supremely
happy and acted as If they were enjoying
It all Immensely. All the evolutions of
the catchy act had to be gone through
twice and the sextette trouped from the
stage amid tumultuous applause. There
was a pout or two when the stage man
ager motioned them to respond to an en
core. Again the audience saw the vivacious
smiles and captivating manners of the
comely misses who "must love someone
really," and again the audience Insisted
upon a repetition.
"Shoot that stupid audience; won't they
ever let me quit? Don't they know my
ankle is going to drop off if they don't
let up," snapped Miss Mildred as she
turned with the others in the wings to
respond to the third encore. The others .
looked distressed, but said nothing' audi
ble. A moment later they returned to tho
stage and the audience saw nothing but
happy smiles.
"Seems like that wreck was intended
to kill off us poor sextette girls." said
Miss Douglass, between acts, "None of
the other girls got hurt to amount to
anything." Miss Douglas Is the tall,
blonde with the saucy dimples, who is the
last of the sextette to leave the stage
While she went through her part without
a hitch she is suffering from a sprained
ankle and limped painfully on her way
to the dressing room.
"None of the principals were hurt at
all." said Miss Leighton. Maybe fate
wanted to do away with us sextette girls
for being such awful flirts which we're
not except on the stage," she hurried to
explain with the accompaniment of a
glance designed to contradict the explan
ation, however.
"That wreck was a horrible thing," said
Miss Elwood, another sextette girl, "and
if our coach had gone 50 feet further we
would all have been killed. It happened
Just before daylight when wo were all
asleep and we were thrown around the
sleeping car like a lot of leaves in a
windstorm. I lost my er stock
ings and that old railroad company has
got to buy me a new pair. They cost
G9 cents, too."
Miss Elwood Is not the only loser of
wearing apparel. With but one or two
exceptions, every member of the company
Is out a portion of his or her wardrobe,
and they are going .to make the railroad
company stand good for this loss, they
say.
In fact. Attorney Walter Wolfe was
summoned for the purpose of making
formal claims for damages and to bring
suit In case the railroad people do not
make an Immediate and satisfactory set
tlement. The claims range from $2.50 to
$100 and In all aggregate about $2000. Miss
Florence Neilsen, of the chorus, makes
a modest demand for $2.50, stating in her
claim that she is out a pair of gloves.
Tweedlepunch, Lord Abercoed, Gllfain,
Dolores, and nearly all the others also
claim that portions of their wardrobes re
main on the scene of the wreck.
The only piece of scenery left was the
tent used In the last act from which
Tweedlepunch emerges In a state of
hilarious Intoxication. All the other
scenery, being in forward cars, was so
badly damaged as to be of no service.
The hapless company left shortly before
midnight for Tacoma.
PESTH0USE CHARGES BOARD.
City Board of Health Fixes a Rate of
$1 a Day.
Those who enjoy the hospitality of the
pesthouse will have to pay $1 per day
for the period of their Incarceration at
that institution, hereafter. The City
Board of Health has decided that, should
those who have the requisite' cash pro
duce the amount named, the result would
be avery desirable addltI6n to the gro
cery fund and would allow of the lntro-
ductlon of delicacies in the culinary de-
partment. However, those who are in- f
dlgent will by no means be debarred.
The health board has also determined
upon another economical practice in the
restriction of claims presented by physi- i
clans and hospitals for treating Indigent"
patients without first having secured the
consent of the city authorities. That is,
except in cases of emergency.
"THE SUNDAY CLUB.".
New Idea to Make Y. M. C. A. a
Popular Resort for Men.
"The Sunday Club for Men" Is the .name
that has been given to a movement tha't
is on foot to make the Young- Men's
Christian Association building the most
popularplace in Portland on Sunday after
noon. This plan was Inaugurated and Is
being directed by about 60 young business
and professional men, led by G. F. Martin,
Mervin Pugh, Walter Rogers, C. A. Lewis,
C. L. Chambers. F. W. Nelson; F. A. Fra
zler and C. A. Staver.
The plan Is to have "a continuous good
time," from 3 to .6 o'clock every Sunday
afternoon. At 3 o'clock a half-hour con
cert by Drlscoll's orchestra begins In tho
parlors; at S:30 the orchestra plays in the
auditorium, followed by the best vocal
and instrumental music that can be ob
tained in the city, and there will be a
rousing song service led by Professor W.
M. Wilder and a male chorus. At 4 o'clock
an address will be given by some man of
local or even national reputation. For
the opening Sundays, such men as Presi
dent S. B. L. Penrose, of Whitman Col
lege; Councilman A. F. Flegel.'Dr. Mable,
of Philadelphia; and N. Wilbur Helm, of
Princeton, havo been secured. Follow
ing this programme will be held a unique
feature of the afternoon In the shape of
the "Study Groups" for the discuSsion of
matters of dally Interest to men. Six
of these groups will meet In different parts
of the building1, following topics based
on the life and teaphlng of Jesus Christ.
One group especially for dental, medical
and law students, will be led by E. C.
Bronaugh; another, open only to business
college students, will be led by Mervin
Pugh; a third, for strangers, will be con
ducted by Secretary H. W. Stone, and
the other three, open to all classes of
men, will be taught by C. A. Lewis, G. F.
Martin and Professor W. M. Wilder. This
study hour, led by experienced busi
ness and professional men. is confi
dently expected to prove one of the
most attractive features of the afternoon.
Five-thirty o'clock Is to be the lunch
hour, when a lunch will be served In the
gymnasium for ten cents, and made more
enjoyable by a short programme varied
from Sunday to Sunday.
This Sunday Club plan, which is to open
on November 8, has been tried with large
success in some Eastern cities, notably
Cleveland, O. It is based on the simple
Idea that men are free on Sunday after-
noon, and will go where they can enjoy
themselves. The purpose Is to put lots of
good cheer Into this dull time of the week,
and to give the 15.000 or 20,000 young men
in Portland who are away from home a
place to go where they can have a "good
time in every sense of the word. No
expense or labor Is being spared to make
this big plan a success by those who
have It in hand, and the whola pro
gramme except the lunch is presented
presented without charge to those who
attend.
MRS. RIGGS' TRIUMPH.
Outnumbered Two to One, She Wins
Her Fight So Far.
A new matron and a new board of man
agers constitute the newest furniture of
the Florence Crittenton -Home. Mrs.
Riggs and her three friends Mrs. L. J.
Amos, Mrs. M. B. Rankin and Mrs. S. M.
Kern are retained and all her adver
saries are dismissed. The rebels outnum
bered Mrs. Riggs' followers two to 1. but
never turned out en masse at the meet
ings, consequently they are out of the
game.
The State Commissioners still insist that
Mrs. Riggs must go or the Home will re
ceive no more money from them. They
have got their dander up and declare that
the will not disgorge the money. A suit
will probably be instituted to force the
money from them. Governor Chamber
lain is backing up the commissioners with
strength and courage.
One member of the advisory committee,
which Is composed of men, has said that
Mrs. Riggs will be retained temporarily,
until the hubbub has blown over and that
she will then resign voluntarily. At any
rate Mrs. Riggs will forego her salary and
ofilce rent which the Home has been pay
ing. By the rules of the National Mis
sion, no member of the board shall re
ceive any compensation.
The new board chosen yesterday Is
made up as follows: Mrs. A. R. Riggs,
Mrs. S. M. Kern, Mrs. M. B. Rankin, Mrs.
L. J. Amos, Mrs. S. E. Foster, Mrs. F.
M. Branch. Mrs. W. H. Beharrell and
five men: William Wadhams, Charles E.
Ladd, M. J. Kinney, E. C. Bronaugh, I. H.
Amos.
Ten persons were present at 'the meet
ing of the managers and the advisory
board yesterday afternoon, only three- of
them being antl-Riggs. The three were
Mrs. H. H. Crosier, Mrs. Hamilton Meade
and Mrs. J. C. Moreland. Such antl-Riggs
women as Mrs. Frank Hacheney, Mrs.
Agnes McGowan, Mrs. A. J. Hamilton.
Mrs. H. J. Shane. Mrs. M. E. Hoxter and
Mrs. H. C. Albee were absent and were
rewarded by being left off the new board
and by seeing Mrs. Riggs adherents go
on.
Besides the Indomitable three there were
present: Mrs. Riggs, Mrs. Rankin, Mrs.
Amos and Mrs. Kern, William Wadhams,
M. J. Kinney, I. H. Amos and E. C.
Bronaugh.
Mrs. Crosier declined to vote and to be
voted for. Of the nine votes cast Mrs.
Riggs received seven and Mrs. Rankin
nine. Mrs. Meade and Mrs. Moreland
voted for each other. Mr. Amos did most
of the talking. Mrs. Hoxter and Mrs.
Meade have been very active in raising
funds for the Home but were not elected.
Tho new matron arrived from the East
yesterday morning. The new board will
organize tomorrow.
CAN'T SELL FERRY SITE.
City Has No Authority to Make the
Transfer for $17,500.
The Alblna ferry problem continues to
be a perplexing one. The City Attorney
having taken a turn at the question, de
ciding that the city has no right to sell
the present site for $17,500 without special
legislative authority, the Legislative Com
mittee has had an Inning. The result of
the consideration -was to support the
views of the City Attorney.
In a report filed with Auditor Devlin It
ls set out by the committee that the city
has no right other than that vested by
thje Legislature In connection with the
original $50,000 ferry appropriation. The
committee recommended that the sale of
the present site and the purchase of
the new site for a landing be indeflnitely
postponed. The question will probably be
sifted to the bottom at the nest meeting
of the Executive Board.
TO START UP ON WEST SIDE.
Standard Box Factory Leases
Multnomah Plant.
Old
Moving to the west side of the Wil
lamette, the Standard Box Factory will
again be In operation in a short time,
despite the disastrous fire of Sunday
night. The old Multnomah factory, near
the Portland Lumbering Company, was
leased yesterday by the firm which suf
fered by the fire, and will soon be In ac
tive operation. A temporary ofilce has
been leased at East Morrison and East
Water streets.
The three large safes In the ruined office
of the factory were duff up yesterday.
The bindings of the ledgere were ruined.
but all the records of the firm are still
legible. Some water leaked into the strong
boxes and aided in the damage.
FRANK I. SOUTHWICK DEAD.
Veteran Mall Clerk Received Fatal
Injuries in Train Wreck.
Frank L. Southwlck, the veteran mall
clerk Injured in the wreck on the South
ern Pacific near Tehama Sunday morn
ing, died at his home In May-field. Cal.,
Monday night. Word of his death was
received In Portland yesterday.
The train upon which Southwlck was
fatally Injured was the one bearing the
"Florodora" company to this city. Mem
bers of the theatrical troupe speak feel
ingly of the sufferings of the agea mall
clerk after the wreck, and tell how

HOW A YOUNG LAD WAS SAVED
FROM A TERRIBLE FATE
A Story of Every - Day
Life Founded Up
on Fact.
He could be seen going to his work
every morning, with his dinner bucket
on his arm, and with a smile on his
lips, and with the rosy glow of health
on his cheeks, come home at night
and toss into his widowed mother's
lap the dollar he had earned as a
blacksmith's helper. He had no vices,
so none of his earnings went to keep
up the North End dives so alluring to
many boys of his age, for he was but
20 years old, and at a period of life so
fraught with dangers of temptation.
Day after day he kept at his work
never complaining, but the watchful
eyo of his loving mother detected a
careworn expression occasionally flit
across his otherwise happy and cheer
ful countenance. This expression deep
ened, and soon dark circles were de
tected under his eyes, the cheeks were losing their ruddy glow, and his step
so elastic, began to lag. He was losing his ambition, would sit and ponder,
and appear In a dream. What Is the matter? Are you sick, my son? in
quired his anxious mother. No, was his answer, but I feel so queer, my
thoughts are not pleasant and are disconnected. I can't remember as I did.
I feel tired, my back aches. I have such queer dizzy spells, and I seem to
think something is going to happen. I believe I'll go and see a doctor.
Several doctors were consulted, and they had as many different diagnosis.
Some said consumption, others a stomach trouble, but all treatment on that
line proved of no avail,. and he was gradually growing poorer in flesh, and
less ambitious. It was not until he was Induced to consult the well known
Specialists, Dr. Talcott & Co.. was the real cause of his trouble discovered.
It was a well marked case of SEXUAL. WEAKNESS, and the young- life so
full of promise was being gradually undermined by a drain which was
sapping both mind and body. Dr. Talcott & Co., whose years of experience
treating these special dborders, soon discerned the cause of the trouble, and
placed nlm upon their special local treatment, and in six weeks' time we find
our young man at work again, full of life and health, a living example of
what Specialism can and does do for .the afflicted. Dr. Talcott & Co. have
offices in San Francisco, and 250& Alder St., Portland, where In all privacy
sufferers from any form of weakness or sexual disorder may obtain not only
skillful treatment for their trouble, but counsel and advice on matters per
taining to their SEXUAL LIFE, that often prevents suffering- and adds to
and promotes happiness that money cannot buy. Their terms are within
the reach of all. Itich and poor have the same care, and no man Is so poor
that the doctors will turn him. away, and those able to pay for services will
bo charged only moderate fees and that need -not be paid unless the patient
is cured. Consultation Is free, and those who cannot call, may write, in all
confidence, marking their letter (personal) and the doctors will frankly tMl
them what they can do for them. Address Dr. Talcott & Co., 230& Alder St..
Portland, or San Francisco.
A book of the greatest value to men will be sent sealed for ten cents In
stamps to pay postage.

fBrWam-
If you are a rictim of ITervo-Sexual
Debility, with all its distressing symp
toms, you certainly do not intend to re
main so. The fact that you have taken,
inferior remedies to no avail should
not destroy your faith in all treatment,
nor your hope of a radical cure. I have
evolved a special treatment for Kervo
Sexual Debility that is uniformly suc
cessful in cases where success was be
fore by other doctors deemed impossi
ble. It does not stimulate temporarily,
but restores permanently. It allays
the irritation of the delicate tissues
surrounding the lax and unduly ex
panded seminal ducts, contracting them
