Owln to the fact that some of the wagers laid on the result of Saturday's content between Multnomah and Corvoi ltd have not been paid on account of a question a to whether they should Htand. It haa been authoritatively stated that Huch waters as did not contain a proviso on the limit or play ohould be yald, as the losing team was at fault la the matter of discontinuance, and aluo was behind in the number of points scored when the come terminated. CORVALLIS, Or.. Dec. 10. (Special.) The 300 people who went from here to sec the football game yesterday have been kept busy today explaining what happened. The student-body and town unite In approving the action of Dr. Steckle In calling his men from the field. The interviews of several Multnomah chieftains in today's Portland papers have aroused a spirit that would seem to render it advisable that Tom Richardson bring Sut another excursion of Portland business men at an early date. The statement thnt it was because of the decision In the last play of the game that the men left the tield Is the cause of the local feeling. "It was not because of the decision in the last play or in any play that I called my men from the field." said Dr. Steckle tonight. "It was txause of the constant fouling, the bulldozing of officials and the ungentlemanly and unsportsmanlike prac tices by some Multnomah players that had prevailed throughout the game. I told my men between halves if the wrang ling and bulldozing kept up in the second half to leave the field, and at the same time warned some of the Multnomah men that I would not stand for the kind of work that was going on." Discussing the matter. Captain Root said: "We have no apology to make for leaving the field. We lert for the Kama reason that 200 or 300 people left the grounds at the end of the first half we were disgusted -with the ragging and bull dozing of the officials, and so were the spectators who left. There was more ragging by Multnomah men in the single half of that game than by all other teams In all of the seven, games that wc have played this season. If -we were wrong. or, as Mr. Murphy In an interview puts it. doing tne kid act. in leaving the field, why did many members of the Multnomah Club come to "us in our dressing-robm and at our hotel and on the street and congratulate us for refusing to continue a frame that was a travesty on football, a character of game in which my men are not skilled, and which we have always been taught to avoiar- . "Our team respects and honors Mr. Fisher and Mr. Hutchinson, the offi cials, as honest and conscientious men and deeply sympathized with them in the trying position in which they were placed. Both were patient and aro gon Uemen of tho very first water." "Of peculiar Interest," ild a Corvallis citizen, who has followed the negotiations closely, "is the action of the Multnomah team with reference to officials. They have, for some unexplainable reason, con stantly given out that Oregon Agricul tural College was refusing to accept ofll- clals proposed by Manager Watklns, and an impression has been created to the effect that tho college has stickled over the official end of the game. Mr. Walking proposed as officials Mr. Boyd, of Portland; Lair Thompson, of Al bany; Lieutenant Winston, of Vancou ver; Mr. Fisher, of Portland, and one more, four in all. two Portland men. Of the four offered, Mr. Fisher, a total stranger to Corvallis men, was accept ed, and a Portlander at that. Mr. wat klns at ono time mentioned tne nnmo of Bruco Shorts and when Corvallis offered to accept him. Manager Wat kins promptly refused him. On the other hand. Manager Stimson suggest ed one Corvallis man for an omciai. He proposed Captain Tom McDonald, Soat tlo; R. IS. Sweeney, Pullman; Coach Cutis. Seattle; Dr. Sturgis. Seattle; Professor Daughtltt, Seattle; Harry Blake. Seattle; Mr. Smock, of the Unl vorsity of Illinois, now a bridge en ginaer at Springfield; Dr. Leonard. Portland; Reno Hutchinson. Portland; Dr. Roller, Seattle Athletic Club, "Save Reno Hutchinson, one by one these men wore turned down by Mult nomah. Here is one toiogram receivea by Manager Stimson December S: "Team will not accept Shorts as oluciul." "The same day the following dispatch was received: " 'Cannot accept any Seattle official; get a Valley man." "It seems strange to Corvallis sympa thizers that 'the team would not have men like Cutts, Shorts, Tom McDonald, dead square and competent, and In all things qualified; men whose force of characcr and knowledge of rules would have mado Saturday's play pure foot ball, and a game well worth seeing, and that "the team" turned down all theso competent men and forced O. A. C. to accept two Portland men, whom Multnomah now declares toj be Inoom-petent." contest. Rupert Is especially praised for the highly capable and efficient manner In which he directed the attack of the team, for he undoubtedly dismayed ex cellent judgment In planning the cam paign against the heavy Corvallis team. Dudley Clark is another lad who comes in for high praise, for the young fellow but recently joined tho first eleven, hav ing been a member of the Portland Acad, emy team, and his work with tho club on Saturday was highly pleasing to Man ager Watklns and Coach Overflcld. Assistant Manager Whltcomb has ar ranged a game for the Multnomah sec ond eleven with The Dalles Athletic Club team, which will be played on Multnomah Field next Saturday. The Dalles team has not met with a reversal this season, and have the enviable distinction of hav ing administered the first defeat in threo years to the crack Columbia University team, which occurred at The Dalles on Thanksgiving Day. The team is coached by Arthur Stubllng. of the famous Uni versity of Oregon team, of 1S97, and Is rated as one of the strongest secondary teams In the Northwest. ELY HAY SELL OUT 5E ENTHUSIASTS PRAISE FOOT BALL ELEVEN". Individuals Come In for Encomiums From Those Who "Witnessed Saturday's Game. ' Quiet prevailed in Multnomah Club circles List evening, which was In decided contrast to the cene presented there on tho evening of the football game, and. aside from condoning the affair, most of the clubmon refrained from harsher crit icism of the Corvallis coach in calling his men off the field. The O. A- C. game has passed Into history, and the fact that the clubmen won has caused tbelr spirits to ri?e greatly, for many of the stanchest admirers of the "M" eleven were skeptical as to their likelihood of defeating the much-heralded "Farmers," and those who had any doubts as to the strength of the club eleven; had such fears effectually dispelled by the work of the team In Saturday's contest. The highest praise is heard In all quar ters for the efficient manner In which the defenders of the crimson and white rallied to the call, and succeeded tn ad ding another victory to the laurels of the local club. Each Individual player comes In for his share of the encomiums bestowed by the enthusiasts who witnessed the 'ALL OREGON" TEAS! TO PLAY Plans Made for Big Portland Game on Christmas Day. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Dec 10. (Special.) It was definitely decided yes terday -that "All Oregon" should meet Multnomah in football on Christmas day. Since the finances of the present season came out well ahead of expenses there has been a disposition among the football men to oppose another game this year. However, "by combining tho strong est men of the 'C5 eleven with such alum ni stars as Monk. Eastland. Jakenay. Naddell, Scott and Joe Templeton. a very strong team can be organized. There Is one other factor that adds hope to the "All Oregon" Christmas prospects, and that is the presence of Coach Dick Smith In Oregon. Mr. Smith arrived In Eugene last night from the East on his war to Astoria. Manager Stiewer has already begun arrangements to have the famous coach train the eleven for the coming contest, and if pos sible to have him enter the game at the fullback position. It is quite certain that with Smith at fullback, supported by 10 strong men, Oregon could tro against Multnomah with victory assured. Meanwhile the interest of the football squad Is centered on the election of cap tain for next year. George Hug and Frank Templeton have withdrawn from the race, and the honor will fall to W. G. Chand ler, -who outranks the other members of the team In years of service. The first team squad will conclude the college football reason with a banquet sometime during the coming week, the exact date being not yet chosen. No Score at The Dalles. THE DALLES. Or.. Dec 10. (Special.) A hard-fought football game was played here this afternoon between the Cardinals, of Portland, and Tho Dalles Invincible, resulting in no score for cither side. The game was a hard tussle, with no .spectacular features. The Port land visitors outweighed The" Dalles team by about 20 pounds to the man. and although putting up an excellent game, they failed to score against the home eleven, which was further handicapped by the absence of three of Its best play ers. The weather was ideal for foot ballcloudy, cold and bracing. - APtorla Wins at Football. ASTORIA. Or- Dec 10. (Special.) A game of football played here this afternoon between the Bunker Hill team of Portland and the Owapunpun ClUb eleven of this city was won by the local team with a score of 6 to 5. The star play or the game was a 50 yard run by Dick Stiver, of Portland, for a couchdown. A failure to kick an easy goal lost the game. Anxious to Dispose of Interest in Bali Club.

At the Meeting Next Saturday the Future or the Portland Team Will Probably Be Deter mined Finally. Tho question as to who will bo In con trol of the Portland baseball club next tea son will, in all probability be definite ly settled. In the next ten days, for at the meeting of the Interested parties last Saturday, an agreement to a discussion of the subject was reached, and the date for it set for the coming Saturday, by which tlmo Secretary B. C Ely expects to have the complete financial report of the year in readlneps for submission to bis colleagues. Owing to the unsettled condition of the business affairs of the club at the present time, there was no effort made to perfect a new organiza tion at tho recent session of the directors, and when the oxact financial standing Is tabulated by the secretary the members have agreed to talk business. Both side, that is, W. W. McCredie. president of the. club, and B. C. Ely, sec retary of the organization, have ex pressed s. desire to get out of the club, and unless the wishes of Walter McCre die, nephew of the club's president, and" manager ct the team during the part sea son, prevail, there will probably be an entirely new company In control of the baseball destinies of the Portland team next season. Anxious to Sell Holdings. Mr. Ely has stated several times of late that be Is desirous of selling his holdings In .the local club, and when Interviewed by" the representative of The Oregonian last evening, the club's- secretary reiter ated his former declaration of a desire to dispose of his interests In the organiza tion, and Judge McCredie. while not de claring his absolute intention of retiring, alto intimated that he would prefer to retire, although It might be that he would yield to the wishes of his nephew, and retain his present holdings In addition to assisting the manager to secure the ab solute control of the club, in this lat er instance, ths fact that the club would be controlled by one man. will be heartily appreciated by the fans who have become Osgcsted by. the petty quarrels that have been in evidence among those in control of the club during the past two or more years, and should Walter McCredie se cure the club. It wli: be up to hlra to display his managerial abilities when not hampered by any Interference whatever. Under such conditions he should be able to make a better showing Willi the club during the coming season than in that of the past, for although the team finished in a fairly creditable man ner, the outcome did not express their capabilities by a wide margin, for a team composed of the wen that wore Portland uniforms during the past year, should land mu-h higher in the race than it did. Walter McCredle's Statement. Walter McCredie said, when seea re garding the posaiWe change In the regime of the club: "The propositi cm has beea talked over by my uacle aad myself for seme time, and while be has not yet decided upon his courso In the matter. I believe that things will turn out satisfactorily. I would like to have absolute control of the club, for Mr. Ely and myself failed to get along as well as business partners In an enterprise of this kind should, which of course did not serve to help matters In the least, and' was a detriment to the enforcement of discipline on the club. I cannot mako any definite state ment on the subject at present, for the outcome of the present plan depends en tirely on the wishes of my uncle, W. W. Jdcurcoie." What Secretary Ely Says. Secretary Ben C Ely made the follow ing statement last evening: "I have al ways been willing to dispose of my In terests and would welcome the oppor tunity to sell out to the McCredles or anyone else who should wish to pur chase Financially the club has done very well during the past season, for we have not lost any money, and the busi ness standing of the organization Is In excellent condition. There will in all probability be some agreement reached1 at our meeting next Saturday relative to the disposal of the stock In the club. At this meeting I shall have the complete financial report of the season ready, which we shall give to the press, aside i rum wnicn i can make no definite state ment at present, except that we did not lose any money." The foregoing statements indicate that there will be a chanre tn tho iiinrimhi. of the affairs of the club during the com ing season, ana seem to Indicate that at least one ot tne present factions of the ClUb. B. C. ElV. -Kill b nut nf insa.T1 when the new season opens. Mr. Ely, iuie conaucung tne nnanual affairs of the club In a highly satisfactory manner, has never been able to lnpratin Mm- self with the fans, who will be pleased to leam oi rus decision to retire, and any change in the management of this part of the club comes as a boon to the pa trons of the game. THIRD VICTORY FOR ANGELS Brown Is Batted Hard and Other Tigers Make Errors. LOS ANGELES. Dec 10. Los Angeles batted Brown hard today and won easily. Tacoma was unable to hit Nacle con sistently.

Kid McCoy to night sent a challenge to James J. Cor bet for a fight, the terms of which are to be arranged later, it being understood that a new club in Delaware, formed by Tom O'Rourke, will offer a purse of $20, 000. In his letter to Corbett. McCoy says he haa posted $5000 with a local newspaper as a guarantee of good faith. To Issue a formal challenge for a prize fight Is against the laws of the State of New York, so the McCoy letter does not deal with any of the details of the con test, but simply seeks correspondence on the subject. McCoy says he Is Induced to enter the ring again only because of the unsatisfactory termination of his for mer fight with Corbett. which he admits left a cloud on his record as a pugilist and because he believes he Is the better boxer of the two. He declares that under no consideration will he talk of a match with any other man than Corbett. James J. Corbett. when asked tonight concerning the challenge, said: "McCoy made a great blunder in asking me to fight. I am an actor, and my am bition is to become a great actor. I have a flve-year contract, and I would not think of breaking it. My fighting days are over. I hate the fighting game. I made all the money and got all the fame that was coming to me out of prizefighting." FIELDING AVERAGES ARE CLOSE Highest and Lowest Teams of Amer ican Lcagae Only 1 8 Points Apart. CHICAGO. Dec 10.

Writing from a busy railroad town, the wife of an employe of one of the great roads says: "My husband Is a railroad man who has been so much benefited by the use of Postum Food Coffee that be wlshe3 me to express his thanks to you for the good you have done him. His wak ing hours are taken up with his work, and he has no time to write himself. "He has been a great tea drinker all his life and ha3 always liked It strong. "Tea has, of late years, acted on him like morphine does upon most people. At first It soothed him. but only for an hour or so, then It began to affect his nerve3 to such an extent that he tould not sleep at night, and he would go to his work In the morning wretched and miserable from the loss of rest. This condition grew constantly worse, until his friends persuaded hlm. some four months ago, to quit te"a and use Postum. "At first he used Po9tum only for breakfast, but as he liked the taste of: It. and It somehow seemed to do him gooJ. he added it to his evening meal. Then, as he grew, -better, he began to drink It for his noon meal, and now he will drink nothing etse at table. "His condition Is so wonderfully Im proved during these four months that he could not tie hired to give up Postum and go back to tea. His nerves have become steady and reliable once more, and his sleep Is easy, natural and refreshing- He owes all this to Postum for he has taken no medicine and made no other chnage in his diet. His brother, who was very nervous from coffee-drinking, -was persuaded by us to give up the coffee and use Postum and he also, has recovered his health and strength." Name given by Postum Co..
