Qregon'VarsityTeamSpreads
Report of Weakness.
HOPES TO SPRING SURPRISE
Multnomah Players Have High Re
spect for Prowess of College
Rivals and Refuse to Be
Caught Napping.
"With everything In their favor the Ore
gon football players seem to fear the
Multnomah game Thanksgiving day. They
have a superstitious dread of the Mult
nomah iom that weakens their knees In
a most unaccountable manner. Tho only
other explanation of their apparent lack
of confidence is that they are hoping by
unfavorable reports to make their team
appear -weaker than it is and to fill Mult
nomah with overconftdence. But the fact
of the fierce playing they have put up
this year remains and Multnomah players
have expressed the opinion that Oregon
Is playing 'possum.
According to Captain McMillan, of tho
Multnomah team, Oregon has the best
team In the state, and he does not hesi
tate to rank his own team, lower. But
the Oregon men are Justified In their fear.
Multnomah has sprung surprises on them
bo- often that they lose their confidence
whoa they line up against the club eleven.
But this year all the Indications point
their way. They have had no serious
losses, while Multnomah will play with
two of its best men out of the game. They
have kept perfect training, and are now
reaching tho highest point in team work
of the year. Multnomah, on the other
hand, had only cursory practice all last
week, and stands in need of developing
team work before Thursday's game.
Several members of the Multnomah
Club witnessed last Saturday's game be
tween Eugene and Corvallls, and they
shake their beads dubiously over the
Thanksgiving game in consequence; One
of them said: "If Eugene puts up the
game here that I saw them play last Sat
urday they will defeat Multnomah by
about 6 to 0." Of course, it is Impos
sible to prophesy with any accuracy, as
the chances of fumbles often reverse a
score, but the feeling seems to be that
Eugene is Just enough stronger than
Multnomah to score one touchdown and
to prevent Multnomah scoring at all.
"With such a consensus of opinion In their
favor tho Oregon team has no occasion
to fool shaky about its chances on
Thanksgiving day.

Gardner and the Cornishman Both
Ready for Wednesday's Battle.
SAN FBANCISCO. Nov. 23.-The contest
between Bob Fltzsimmons and George
Gardner for tho light heavyweight cham
pionship, which will be brought off at the
Mechanics' Pavilion in this city "Wednes
day night under the auspices of the
Yosemlte Club, is being looked forward
to with an interest which is daily growing
keener as the day for tho big fight draws
near. The men will meet at 16S pounds,
and both are said to bo in the pink of con
dition and confident of victory.
Although the older man, Fltzslmmons Is
at present the favorite in the betting at
30 to 6. Bob Fltzslmmons is still in hard
training at his quarters in Alameda, and
yesterday boxed eight rounds each with a
series of big fellows, while Mrs. Fltzsim
xnons held the watch. Today he did some
Jess strenuous work.
Eddie Graney. who will referee the com
ing battle, after a trip to Alameda to
watch Fltzslmmons at practice, said:
"His physical condition is perfect as far
as I can Judge. He Is big, strong and
confident and promises to make the battle
short, sharp and decisive."
George Gardner has kept up his boxing
practice, but was on the road this morn
ing and punched the ball for half an
hour this afternoon. He says he feels he
has sufficient strength to meet any fight
Fitrslmmons may put up, and. therefore.
It is unnecessary for him to continue
heavy training. -Moreover, it would be a
danuerouf thing to slug with his sparring
partner when the battle which means so
much to him is so near -at hand.
"The fact that Fltzslmmons is a hot
favorite In the betting does not disturb
me a bit" said Gardner today. "I ex
pected it Just look at his record. About
all I can say Is that If Fltzslmmons wins
he must win in quick order. I don't
think ho will have the strength to go a
distance, while the longer it goes the
better 1 11 get."
"HEINE" SCHMIDT SIGNED.
Brooklyn Twirler Will Pitch for Oak
land Nine.
SAN FBANCISCO, Nov. 23. Special.)
"Holnc" Schmidt the twirler who did
brilliant work in the box for the Brook
lyn team, has signed with the Oakland
nine, of the Pacific Coast League, for
next year.
California fans will remember the smile
that "Heine" used to unllmber every time
he sont out one of his deceptive drops to
a batter. They well recall his famous
29-lnnlng duol to a draw with "Willie'
JEbomas, of Sacramento, on the dlamondXpensaUon for the crown lands of Hjbjw '
across the bay. He Is one of the stead
iest and most reliable pitchers that ever
appeared In this league, and baseball
lovers all along the line will be glad to
know that ho will be seen in an Oakland
uniiorm next year.
WINS FROM NEVADA.
Puget Sound 'Varsity Eleven
the
Steadier at All Times.
TACOMA, Nov. 23. In the fiercest and
cleanest football game ever played in
"Washington the "University of Puget
Sound defeated the University of Nevada
by a score of 10 to 0 in two twenty mlnuto
halves this afternoon. Only once could
Puget Sound's goal be said to have been
In real danger. Nevada twice prevented
touch downs, for the time, by magnifi
cent rallies inside her 15-yard line.
Both teams piayed wonderfully offensive
games. Nevada's work with the ball,
while the more spectacular at times,
was the more erratic On defensive Puget
Sound clearly excelled.
The field was dry and hard, greatly in
favor of Nevada, who had been badly han
dicapped by mud in Seattle on Saturday.
The local team, toward the' end of the
game, tore through Nevada's line at will,
and circled the ends for good gains. At
this stage of the game Nevada took a
wonderful brace. "With darkness closing
over the field and tho score 10 to 0 against
Nevada, Frlesell, the fleet half back, tore
twice around Puget Sound's right end,
once for 35 yards and then for 18 yards.
A moment later tho referee's whistle
blew for time.
Nevada got the ball from first kick-off
and pounded downvthe field at a rate
which made it look as though she would
score within a few moments after the
opening. Puget Sound braced and repeat
ed Nevada's performance. A rally within
the 15-yard line saved Nevada's goal, but
a few moments later Paul Bader went
through tho center for the first tuoch
down.
In the second half Puget Sound pounded
the Nevada line at will.
I. Steckle retired with a broken collar
bono toward the close.
Whitman Defeats Walla Walla
"WHITMAN COLLEGE. "Wash., Nov. 23.
(Special.) In two 2&-mInute halves "Whit
man College did the Walla "Walla Athletic
Club by a score of 18 to nothing this after
noon. "Whitman punctured their line at
will. Hill, halfback; Alpha Cox. and;
Elmo Beser, at quarter, were stars. Tho
v,ub was only able to hold "Whitman a
few times. Dorsey Hill was referee and
Mose Fix umpire.
INDOOR BASEBALL AT ARMORY
Companies and Battery A Teams Or
ganize a League.
Indoor baseball among the companies
and Battery A at the Armory was begun
by a game last Saturday night, in which
B Company defeated Battery A by a score
of 17 to 10.
A league of seven teams has been or
ganized, containing the above-mentioned
companies, also F, H, K, C and E. "So
far all of the nines in practice have shown
good form, except K Company, which has
not been thoroughly organized. But it
contains good material, and may work a
surprise on the companies that have beat
en the team In practice.
H and F Companies play next Saturday
night. Of the two the most confidence Is
placed In H, which has already defeated
F Company In practice. The, positions on
the H Company team will be played by
the following men: B. Bufner, catcher;
P. Austin, pitcher; Sim Burnett, right
shortstop; waiter Cheney, left shortstop;
Dudley Clark or Gus Cramer, first base;
Bay Duncan, second base; Lute Thomp
son, third base, and Peterson, Percy and
Jorgensen ia the field positions.
Bufner is new at the game, but handles
the ball well behind the bat. He has a
great throwing wing, and does some pret
ty batting and base-running. Austin
pitches the big ball with the accuracy of
a professional, and fields everything that
comes his way. He is also clever at tho
bat, and places his hits welL He Is con
sidered the star of the league. Cheney
Is an old man "at the game, covering his
position in the field and running bases
like a deer. Clark, at first, covers all that
end of the diamond, and gets his man
regularly. He has a rival in Cramer, who
is a close second for tho position. Dun
can has been moved from the field to sec
ond, but s quick headwork has put him
right already. Thompson Is new, but he
handles his stick well, and plays third
like a veteran. The outfield Is rusty and
a little slow at getting into shape, but
they are old men, and can be counted on
in a game.
To the disappointment of the team, Cap
tain Dobie is not allowed to play with his
company, on account of hta position.
Austin will captain the team.
The officers of the Third Beglment have
offered a sliver cup as a trophy, to be
kept by each winning company in turn
until one has won it three times.

Fair Days for Duck-Shooting.
Sportsmen generally enjoyed fair duck
shooting Saturday and Sunday, though
nothing like the slaughter made a week
ago. The day was a little too fine to be
jfirst-class for duck shooting, but a num
ber got the limit some by noon. Four of
the Lobster Club shot 129 and had enough
The ducks were fine, four of the mallards
weighing 13ri pounds. Good shooting was
had at preserves on Sauvles Island and
along Columbia Slough. A. J. "Winters,
who shoots on "Walter Burrell's place, had
knocked down as many as he cared for by
noon, and had the most enjoyable sport of
his life, as he had his 13-year-old boy
along, breaking him in to try shooting.
The lad killed his first two singles with
an automatic gun In fine style and killed
a goose and a duck with a long double.
The father was so pleased with the young
ster's style that he staid watching him till
be failed to get home In time for dinner.
The boy likes the sport so well that he
wanted to go down again yesterday.

He Will Put Out Mr. Denny, Who
Tries to "Cop Out His Goil

Tommy Tracey, erstwhile welterweight
champion pugilist of the world, well
known for years In sporting circles from
Portland around the world and back
again, is to become an actor. He will
have Terry McGovern's old part in tho
melodrama "The Bowery After Dark,"
which will be put on soon at the Em
pire Theater.
Mr. Tracey has not yet seen the manu
script for his part and has rather vague
ideas of what is expected of him.
"You have trod the immortal boards
before, have you not, Mr. Tracey?" asked
the interviewer, after a comprehensive
survey of the mural adornments which
supply the chief element of beauty at the
ex-welterwelght's "place." "Come again?"
responded Mr. Tracey.
"Oh! that play business. Yes, I was out

a real play In my life, though. I'm going
up against a new game there. This Is
my first debut. See? Mr. Baker ain't sent

make a lot of weight on the rules before
time to weigh in. 'Lines you say.' Oh,
yes! lines. Sure. I don't know much about
It except that I go a few rounds with Mr.
Denny, my partner, here.
"About the rest of the show I ain't

P0LYGAHISTS 'ABE APOSTATES
True Church of Latter-Day Saints
Opposed to Doctrine.
POBTLAND, Nov. 2L (To the Editor.)
Because of several recently-published
statements being, to an extent misleading
and confusing to many of your readers, I
present this article In defense of truth
and with the hope of giving substantial In
formation to the Inquiring mind.
Chief among the statements referred to
are the following: (1) That the Mormon
church, which has Its headquarters in
Utah, is in succession to the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as or
ganized by Joseph Smith in 1S30; and (2)
the claim that Joseph Smith Introduced
and practiced the obnoxious doctrine of
polygamy and countenanced its kindred
evils and consequences.
That I may show you the unstability of
such assertions permit me to present a
little history along this line, together
with evidence from the accepted books
of the original church, and the findings
of tho courts of tho "United States. On
April 6, 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints was organized, with
Joseph Smith as Its president Under ad
verse circumstances and amid persecu
tions the adherents of this new, yet old
form of doctrine, by earnest and zealous
effort, Increased In the short period of 14
years to the number of about 200.000 bap
tized communicants. After the death of
Joseph Smith, June 27, 1844, the church
being in a somewhat shattered condition
because of the loss of its leader, Brlgham
Young, who was a member of the Latter
Day Saints' church, succeeded. In securing
a following of from 10,000 to 15,000 mem
bers, leading them westward and finally
locating them In the valleys of Utah. Un
der his Immediate direction all this fol
lowing was rebapt!zd and a new minis
try ordained. At the same time he and
his followers materially changed the rules,
doctrines and practices of the original
church. As will be plainly seen it was
but a small percentage of the church
that would submit to his rule and his Ideas
of right while those who remained loyal
to the laws, doctrines, usages and prac
tices of the former organization reorgan
ized, and Joseph Smith, Jr., became their
president; hence the name Beorganlzed
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints, which church has its headquarters
at Lamoni, In.
Among the fallacious teachings of Brig
ham Young aro those mentioned above.
Wo will first give attention to their claim
to be in succession to the church organ
ized in 1830. The act of rebaptlzlng the
membership, by a people who believed in
tho sufficiency of one baptism, is con
clusive proof of their repudiation of for
mer baptisms and of an apostasy from
former church relationship. And the or
daining of a new ministry or the reordain
ing of an old ministry is another con
clusive evidence against the assertion that
they are the successors of the church
founded by Toseph Smith.
Now read from the 'findings of our
courts. First from tho court in Lake
County, Ohio, February 23, 1SS0, Hon. L' S.
Sherman Judge:
That the church in Utah, known as Salt Lake
Mormons, has materially and largely departed
from the faith, doctrines, laws, ordinances and
usages of said original Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints, and has Incorporated Into
Its system of faith the doctrines of celestial
marriage and a plurality of wires, and tho
doctrine ot Adam-god worship, contrary to the
laws and constitution of said original church.
And the court do further find that the Be
organlzed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints is the true and lawful continuation
of and successor to the said original Church of
Jccvs Christ of Latter-Day Saints, organized
in JSCO. and Is entitled in law to all 1U rights
and property.
And again fom the decision given by
Judge John T. Phillips In the temple lot
suit March 16, 1894:
There can he no question of the fact that
Brlgham Young's assumed presidency was a,
bold and bald usurpation.
While Brlgham Young and the church
founded by him stand in this unfavorable
light manifesting by examples Innumer
able their apostacy from and disloyalty to
the teachings and practices of the church
which they claim to succeed, the Beorgan
lzed Church formerly mentioned rests se
cure in a belief In and practice of the
doctrines advocated and practiced by Jo
seph Smith and his large following up to
the time of his death. During his lifetime
his son Joseph was, according to tho
accepted and well-understood rule, called,
anointed and set apart to be his father's
successor. This rule of the church Is
found In Doctrine and Covenants, 43:11,
and states that the successor of the presi
dent and prophet was to be appointed by
the prophet This was followed out In
detail, and we submit the following swonr
statements In the temple lot suit in proof
thereof: '
josepn smun, Deing sworn, lesimea: 1 re-
A-member my father laying his bands on mr
head and saying to the people that this was hts
successor, or was to be his successor. I re
member some of the parties that were on the
stand. ... I do not remember all of them.
"William Harks, George J. Adams and, I think,
Willard Richards were on the stand at the
time." Plaintiffs abstract, p. 41.
James Whitehead, bclnx sworn, testified: "I
took the position of private secretary to Joseph
Smith on the 11th day of June. 1812. . . .
My duUes were to keep his correspondence,
letters, books and eyerythlnff of that nature
belonging to the office, as his secretary. . . .
Held that position unUl he was killed, the 27th
day of June, 1844. ... I recollect a meet
ing that was held in the Winter of V 1843, at
Nauvoo, 111., prior to Joseph Smith's death, at
which the appointment was made by him,
Joseph Smith, ot his successor. His son Jo
seph was selected as his successor. Joseph
Smith did the talking. There were present
Joseph and Hyrum Smith, John Taylor and
some others, who also spoke on the subject;
there were 25, I suppose, at the meeting. . . .
He was ordained and anointed at that meet
ing. Hyrum Smith, the Patriarchy anointed
him, and Joseph, his father, blessed him and
ordained him, and Jfewell K. Whitney poured
the oil on his head, and he was set apart to be
his father's successor In office, holding all tho
powers that bis father held. I cannot tell all
the persons that were present; there were a
good many there. John Taylor and Willard
Richards, they were two of "twelve." Ebe
nezer Robinson was present and George J.
Adams. Alphcus Culler and Reynolds Cahoon.
. . . The church did take action as a body
on the question of the ordination of young
Joseph as his father's successor; the church
consented to it. . . . There was a vote taken;
the congregation voted and agreed to the ap
pointment. .... The authority for selection
and ordination of Joseph Smith to be his fa
ther's successor In office was by revelation."
Ibid, paeu 28, 30. 31, 33, 33.
Let us now consider tho claim made by
the Mormons that the doctrines of polyg
amy was introduced, taught and practiced
by Joseph Smith. I now present some
evidence from each of the three standard
books of law to the church:
Therefore shall a man leave his father and
his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife (not
wives), and they shall be one flesh. Genesis
11:24. (Mark x:7.)
But from tho beginning of the creation God
made them male and female not male and
females). For this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother, and cleave unto his
wife (not wljjs); and they twain shall be one
flesh; so then they are no more twain, but one
flesh. Mark x:G-&
The teaching of the Book of Mormon is clear:
"Behold, David and Solomon truly had many
wives and concubines, which thing was abom
inable before me, salth the Lord. Wherefore,
my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word
of the Lord; for there shall not any man among
you havo save it be one wife; and concubines
he shall have none." Book of Jacob 11:8.
For they have not forgotten the command
ment of the Lord, which was given unto our
fathers, that they should have save It wereione
wife; and concubines they should have none.
Book of Jacob, 11:9.
In the Doctrine and Covenants: "Thou ohalt
love thy wife with all thy heart, and shall
cleavo unto her and none else." Old edition,
section 13, paragraph 7.
Marriage Is ordained ot God unto man;
wherefore it Is lawful that he should have one
wife, and they twain shall be one flesh. Old
edition, section 65, paragraph 3.
The statement of Brlgham Young made on
August 20, 1852. that the doctrine of polygamy
had not been practiced by the elders, Is found
on page 31 of supplement to volumo 15 of Mil
lennial Star.
Twenty-two years after the organization ot
the church, and eight years after the death
of Joseph Smith, the doctrine of polygamy was
first publicly taught by Brlgham Young and
his followers In Salt Lake City, Utah. (See
supplement to Millennial Star, volume 15,
page 31.)
There can bo found no word In favor of plu
ral marriage In church publications Issued be
for the death of Joseph Smith, June 27, 1844.
Please note again what tho court in
Lake County, Ohio, says In its findings,
February 23, 1SS0. Hon. L. S. Sherman,
Judge:
That the church In Utah, known as Salt Lake
Mormons, has "materially and largely departed
from the faith, doctrines, laws, ordinances and
usages of said original Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, and has Incorporated
Into its system of faith the doctrine of celes
tial marriage and a plurality of wives, and the
doctrine of Adam-god "worship, contrary to the
laws and constitution of said original church.
And the court do further find that the Re
organized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints is the true and lawful continuation
of and successor to the said original Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, organized
In 1830, and Is entitled In law to, all Its right
and property.
The Beorganlzed Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints Is no more responsi
ble for the doctrine of polygamy taught
and practiced by Brlgham Young and
his followers, than are former-day Chris
tians for murdering and burning at the
stake Innocent men, women and children
In the Dark Ages. "With this pointed evi
dence before you the erroneousness of the
claims of the Mormons Is sufficiently ap
parent without further writing.
Our belief is as follows:
We believe In God. the Eternal Father and In.
his Son Jesus Christ and. In the Holy Ghost.
Wa believe that men will be punished for
their own sins, and not for Adam's transgres
sion. We believe Jhat througn the atonement of
Christ all men may be saved by the obedience
to the laws and ordinances or the gospel.
We believe that these ordinances are: First
faith in God and the Lord Jesus Christ; sec
ond, repentance; third, baptism by Immersion
for the remission of sins; fourth, laying on of

the hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost; fifth,
we believe in the resurrection of the body, that
the dead in Christ will rise first and the rest
of the dead will not live again until the thou
sand years are expired; sixth, we believe In the
doctrine of eternal Judgment which provides
that men shall be Judged, rewarded or pun
ished, according to the degree of good or evil
they shall have done.
We believe that a man must be called of God.
and ordained by the laying on of hands of those
who are In authority, to entitle him to preach
the gospel and administer In the ordinances
thereof.
We believe In the same kind of organization
that existed in the primitive church, vl; apos- (
lies, propneis, pasiors, teacners, evangelists,
etc.
We believe that in tho Bible is contained the
word of God, so far as it Is translated correct
ly. We believe that the canon of Scripture Is
not full, but that God, by his Spirit, will con
tinue to reveal his word to man until tho end
of time.
We believe In the powers and gifts of the

We believe that marriage is ordained of God:
and that the. law of God provides for but one
companion in wedlock, for either man or wom
an, except In cases where the contract of mar
riage Is broken by death or transgression.
We believe that tho doctrines of a plurality
and a community of wives are heresies, and are
opposed to the law of God.
We believe that the religion of Jesus Christ
a3 taught In the New Testament Scriptures,
will. If Its precepts are accepted and obeyed,
make men and women better In the domestic
circle, and better citizens of town, county and
state, and consequently better fitted for the
change which cometh at death.
We believe that men should worship God In
"spjrlt and In truth"; and that such worship
does not require a violation of the constitu
tional law of the land.
"With these teachings we come to the
world. Inviting a careful and prayerful
consideration of our works, and slncerely
bolleve that even an investigation will
make men and women better, while the
acceptance of this form of Godliness will
eventually secure to the faithful an en
trance Into the Celestial Kingdom.

Senator Dietrich Returns for Early
Trial on Bribery Charge.
OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 23. United States
Senator Charles H. Dietrich arrived in
Omaha and went directly to the office of
his attorney today, with whom he had a
conference. To a representative of the
Associated Press he said, with regard to
the Indictment recently brought against
him:
"I am In Omaha to secure an Immedi
ate trial. I want all the evidence brought
before the court which will show a com
plete vindication. I consider this not
merely a trial before a Federal Judge, but
also before the great tribunal the people,
of Nebraska, and of the whole country.
"It Is a case In which the honor of the
United States Senate is Involved, and I
wish to have the people of the country
know alLjho facts."
His Testimony Will Hurt Wood.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Nov. 23. Ed
ward P. Thompson, ex-Postmaster at Ha
vana, Cuba, has been Instructed to have
himself in readiness to appear as a wit
ness before the Senate committee on mil
itary affairs investigating the charges
filed by Major Bathbone against General
Leonard Wood. In view of the fact that
Thompson may be called upon at any
time to testify, he refuses to discuss the
case further than to intimate that any
evidence he may offer will be not at all
favorable to Wood. He attributes the
origin of the extravagance at Havana
that led finally to the Postoffice scandals
and Its expose to the Jealousy of Mrs.
Bathbone and Mrs. Wood and their fight
for social supremacy. He also Intimates
that if the investigation is a thorough;
one, it will disclose evidence of as much
extravagance and lavlshness of Govern
ment funds on the part of Wood as that
already attributed to Bathbone.
