NO GAME WITH NEVADA.
Multnomah Team Is Unable to Ar
range Satisfactory Date.
. Nevada will not be able to arrange a
football game with Multnomah within the
limit of time the players expect to re
main In the Northwest. Friday they play
the University of Washington at Seattle,
and they wish to play Multnomah Satur
day, the 2Sth, the day after the Washing
ton game, or even the 21st, but Mult
nomah expects to spend Its energy against
Oregon Thanksgiving Day and does not
care for any game close to that date.
"The Oregon game Is going to be a
liard proposition," said Captain McMillan
last night. "Oregon has the best team
the college has had for several years, and
we shall need all our energies and all
our men to w in. I do not care to take the
chances of disabling anyone this Saturday
and I do not expect the team to be in any
condition to play two days after meeting
tho Oregon boys."
Nevada will play one game in Oregon,
however, with Corvallis oh- Thanksgiving
Day.

J. C. Leonard was arrested last night
for passing a forged check. Detective
Weiner made the arrest and is convinced
that the man is an all around crook. The
check he passed was for 543.10 and signed
by W. S. J. Cohen. It was drawn in
favor of Morton D. Jacobs. Jacob's name
was also written across the back together
with. the name of Leonard.
Leonard offered the check yesterday for
540, and this excited suspicion. Later in
the evening he asked a saloonkeeper to
give him $5 on the check. Tho police
were notified and the man placed under
arrest. When s'earched a pocketbook
with Jacob's name printed on it was
found. The check was dated October 2.
and had not been offered for payment.
The detectives believe that the pocket
book was either found by the prisoner or
was stolen. The case will be Investi
gated today.

COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Nov. 16. (Spe

was arrosted here today on a charge of
larceny at Independence. He is held under

ONE PLAYER SIGNED
Buck Freeman to Be Brown's
First-Baseman.
MANAGER ELY KEEPS A STAR
Fans Approve Action in Retaining
Player That Is Regarded as the
Equal of Captain Dillon of
Los Angeles.
Buck Freeman has become a Brown.
His "John Hancock" has been spread in
Indelihln Inlc airnm n TnrtlnTirt RacoKiII
j"Asso"clatIon contract and next season he
will do the blocking and tagging act at
station No. 1, and for this bit of infor
mation the Jans, those who have watched
the baby-faced boy in action, will be
duly grateful, for one of the weakest
spots In the Browns' last year's lineup
was at first base.
When Manager Ely signed Buck Free
man he was in sore straits for a first
baseman, and after scouring the country,
he Anally succeeded In getting Buck to
help him out for the rest of the season.
Manager Ely had seen the joungster In
action and had taken a fancy to him. but
he-had little hopes of securing his signa
ture to a Brown contract The first
couple of games that Buck took part In
he did a bad bit of blundering, but all of
his actions bore out Ely's estimate that
Freeman was a coming ball player. When

BUCK FREEMAN.
Buck got a line on his team-mates and
got a bit familiar with the local grounds
his work picked up wonderfully, and not
only has he been doing clever wark at
first, but he has also been clouting the
ball in good style. Baseball critics in the
South have watched Freeman's work with
considerable interest, and he has- made
quite a hit among them. A Los Angeles
writer in commenting on one of the games
there, compared his work at first with
Captain Dillon, and was forced to admit
that In fielding his position, Freeman
was equally as good as Dillon, and that
in batting in that one particular game,
he had a shade the best of the Loo Loo
captain.
t Freeman has not been playing ball very
aung, out in tne snort ume ne nas oeen
In the game he hag jumped Into the front
rank with surprising rapidity and a sea
son under Ely's tuition ought to make
him one of the best first basemen in the
J Pacific Coast League. He Is a natural
sticker, and he fields his position In al
most faultless style. His only weakness
is on ground balls that take savago
bounds. When he has reached the point
where he can scoop up these shin-toasters,
he will be a wonder. He can reach half
across the diamond, and many a time a
runner has been morgued at first owing
to that long reach, which when he extends
himself usually beats a runner out by a
couple of seconds.
Freeman Is the first man that Manager
Ely has signed. E4y has been in no -hurry

retain for next season attached to con

selections and when he gets through sev

missing. With Freeman as a nucleus.
Ely will go on building up a team that
will do the city proud. He will travel
East as soon as the season's business at
home has been shelved. The fans know
this, and all sorts of dope dreams have
been on tap, concerning next year's line

GEORGE GARDNER.
baseball fans" In the city. Only a few of
the select know Dick Hamilton, or where
Dick dispenses baseball wisdom, and oth
er thingo that the knowing ones enjoy.
Not a day since the ball season opened
last Spring has Hamilton missed a game.
In a back room, where the shadows al
ways remind one of night, Dick and a
couple of the faithful gather to play the
game. Dick Is a hard fan to suit. If
the score by Innings shows that the
Browns had won by a close score, say 2
to 1, Dick will kick and say: "We
should have shut the lobsters out." Or
If the score has been 10 to 1 In favor of
the other fellows, he would laconically
remark: "They walloped the tar out of
us, didn't they?" Then he would fade
away into a roast on the team that had
a specially prepaid duck, roasted and
basted by a Chinese cook, beaten four
ways to the brown. But It's not about
Dick's roasting proclivities that his name
is mentioned It's simply to tell how he
plays the game while the team Is down
South closing up the season. It gets too
dark for Dick to play the full nine in
nings, so he usually calls the game any
time after -4 o'clock. Yesterday afternoon
while the game was In full blast, he sud
denly announced: "It's no use to play
this game out; we've given too many
bases on balls; let's call It." And the
game was called.
Just before the fanning bee disbanded,
a messenger boy rushed up to the "secre
tary," for such he is called by the fans,
and with a delicate and artistic sweep of
his right hand, he tore the yellow en
velope open. A smile spread over the
"secretary's mobile features. The hard
lines in his face, caused by roasting the
umpire, softened, but he hid the telegram
In his pocket. This pocket was picked
and the missive proved to be from a friend
of the "secretary's" In the East, and It
stated that the Eastern baseball magnates
and fans were on the warpath, because
Fred Ely had signed the cream of the
National and American Leagues. It took
some hustling to get the lineup of the
Browns for 1904, but here It Is:
The batteries will be Rube Waddell. Mc
Glnnity. Wild Bill Donevan, Deneen and
a couple of the twlrlers now on the Browr
pay roll. Criger Is to be catcher, and
Cling, of the Chicago Nationals, is to help
him out. Joe Tinker will play short, La
Jole second, Jimmy Collins third base
and La Chance first base, with Buck Free
man as an understudy. Beaumont, Clarke
and Fielder Jones will make up the out
field, and Evers. of Chicago, will be a
utility man thn the dreamer-awoke.
MISSING GIEL FOUND DEAD.
Society Leader Believed to Have

PEORIA, 111., Nov. 16. A message Just
received announces that Miss May Hen
nlger, a prominent young woman of Bish
op, who was supposed to have eloped,
was found murdered in a pasture near
her home. Her body was horribly muti
lated and half burjed.
Miss Hennlger accompanied Fred Strub
ble, a neighbor's son, to a supper and
social given at the country' schoolhouse,
a nhnrt Alstannc from thf elrl's homf
Saturday evening. When she failed to re- '
turn her parents were greatly alarmed,
but as neither she nor Strubblc could be
found, it was supposed they had
eloped. a;d would be heard from in a
few days. The discovery of the girl's
body aroused the community, but all ef
forts of the authorities to locate Strubble
have proven unavailing.! The condition
of the body indicated a desperate strug
gle. The girl was the daughter of Newton
Hennlger, a prominent farmer.
ENDS UPE TO ESCAPE TKIAL.
Confessed Slayer of Aged Woman
Hangs Himself in His Cell.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Because he
could not face the charge of having
knocked down and robbed an old woman,
which crime he had previously confessed,
Isaac Wayner has knotted his suspenders
and handkerchief into a noose and hanged
himself In a city police station. According
to Mrs. Mary Golde, the woman who was
robbed, Wayner, who she had known for
several years, came to her apartment os
tensibly to rent a room. While" she was
showing him through the place Wayner
struck her on the head with a club, j
KnocKing ner aov.n. Jtie men pulled her
diamond earrings from her cars, mutilat
ing the lobes. Wayner at first denied his
guilt, but finally, confessed and showed the
officers where he had secreted the Jew
elry. He said he had lost consider
able money on the races recently and
that this was the reason for the robbery.
He leaves a wife and three children.

SEATTLE, Nov. 16. John H. Stephen
son, of Preston, who was mistaken for a

J. Stephenson, died of his wounds today.

which took effect, one striking John In
the head, another In the right arm and
the third penetrating his side.
FITZSIMMONS TAKES ON GEORGE
GARDNER THIS MONTH.
San Francisco Crovd Is Expected to
Equal That at Corbett
Jeffrles Fight. '.
A fight that is attracting as much at
tention from fight followers all over the
country, as If It were a battle for the
heavyweight championship of the world.
Is that between Bob Fitzslmmons and
George Gardner. The date of the fight is
scheduled for November 25, before the
Yosemlte Club, and the management of
the club is planning for a crowd equally
as large as that which saw the famous
Corbett-Jeffries battle.
The battle between Lanky Bob and
Gardner Is one that has been hanging
fire for a very long time, and It was re
ceived with interest when Gardner so de
cisively beat Jack Root at Fort Erie in
a battle for the light-heavyweight cham
pionship of the world. It Is for this title
that Fitzslmmons and Gardner will slug
each other. FItz, while he is an old man,
is a tough one, and he still has a great
battle hidden among his muscles. Some
of his critics point to his recent battle
with that glutton. Grim, of Philadelphia,
and because FItz did not knock him out,
they say he has gone back. Bob gave fhe
Quaker City pugilist an awful drubbing,
and his explanation for failing to put
Grim out was that he was 'afraid of
breaking his hands, which was a very
good one, considering that his battio with
Gardner was only a month away. The
freckled knight of the padded mitts does
not figure that Gardner will be a tough
proposition. In fact, FItz thinks there
are only two fighters In the business to
dayhimself and Jeffries. Jeffries had to
administer two beatings to Bob before he
was convinced that Jeffries was his mas
ter. Even at the present writing, FItz
has a sneaking idea that he could beat
th big champion. There are no- chances
of a third battle between them for two
reasons: first, because they were travel
ing companions In the show business, and,
second, because the public would not look
upon a third fight between the two men
as being on the square Another thing
which would be against the fight is the
fact that Fitzslmmons has taught Jeffries
all he knows about the boxing game, and
has developed him from a very slow man
to one of the fastest big fellows In the
business.
"When Fitz faces Gardner he is going
up against a youngster that wdll give him
one of the stlffest battles of his ring
career. Wise students of the game seem
to think that Gardner has a very good
chance to whip the Australian. So strong
is their belief that the conqueror of Root
may rule favorite In the betting. Both
are in training for the coming mill, and
word comes from the training camps that
they are in splendid shape. When FItz
prepared Jeffries for his battle wlthr Cor
bett, he was very heavy, and there aro
many who still think that he will be
greatly weakened In making the weight
for Gardner. It's Bob's own fault If the
weight Is against him, for it has been
his boast that he could fight at 167 pounds
and still be strong. '
The club which Is handling this fight
Is one of the best managed In the busi
ness. Not a detail that will make the
fight a success is ever left undone, and
its methods of handling big crowds Is
perfect. The system of seeing that every
ticket-holder gets the seat that his coupon
calls for before the main bout of the
evening is pulled off is something that no
other club giving fights anywhere puts
into operation. Phikerton men watch the
ushers, police watch the PInkerton men,
and between the collection the holders of
high-priced tickets are sure to get their
seats.
