STANFORD WIXS FAST GAME
Kenton nnd Ganong Heroes of Vic
tory Over Barbarians.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct. 1
tSpeclal Correspondent1.) The Stanford
varsity won its initial trame of lv
season here this afternoon, defeating
the Barbarians of San Francisco by a
score of 10 to 6. The play ploved to" be
fast and Interesting at times, hut the
effect from a spectator's standpoint was
vomrwnai marrea Dy the frequent
penalizing. Stanford easily excelled in
the hacktleid work, the passing rushes
ot ine laminar players being excep
tionally encouraging this earlv In the
season. On the other hand the Bar
barians had the advantage In the
scrum and the dribbles, their playing
In the loose being especially good.
The first score of the Cardinals came
from as pretty a play as any one could
wish, to see. Canons picked the ball
out or a bad tangle on his own fortv
yard line and shot suddenly to the
l.'ft wing, with Vandervoort. Cook and
Owen spread out supporting tiim. He
doused a couple of the opposing backs
mid. when tackled, passed to Vander
voort. who was stopped after ten
yards. Cook taking the leather to the
goal posts and making a difficult pass
to Owen, who crossed the line. Little
Kenny Fenton had his usual reliable
boot with him and converted the try
Into a goal easily.
The Barbarians came back strong
and made several close rushes, drib
bling In perfect form with every man
back of the ball. Fenton was their
stumbling block, the Cardinal full
back saving many dangerous situa
tions with his wonderful kicking and
gritty stopping of the rushes. The
Stanford scrum appeared to be losing
Its knack and the Barbarian forwards
to be having things their own way.
Cook, Stanford's wing, sprung a sur
prise by a pretty 50-yard run
straight up the touch line, but he .was
finally forced outside by Brown.
The ten-minute rest brought both
teams back refreshed. The Barbar
ians went after things hammer and
tuuss, but their backs were unable to
take advantage of the fine opportuni
ties given them by the forwards. The
second feature of the game came
shortly after this half began. Vander
voort kicked to touch on the Bar
barians' 40-yard line. From the line
out came a scrum for knock-on, and
when the ball rolled out of the mass
of kicking players. Helnley, Stanford's
scrum-half, picked It up and went
straight through the Barbarians un
til he found the full-back In front of
him. There he passed to Vandervoort.
who scored the ctecond try. Fenton
converted, making the score 10 to 0.
The rest of the half was all Bar
barian.. They fought hard and forced
the Cardinal players always back un
til tney had scored twice by ioose
rushes. They could kick neither of the
goals, however, and the final score re
mained 10 to 6. In the final stages
of the game Fenton's coolness saved
several scores, his defensive work be
ing both brilliant and sure.

PROPOSES TO IMPORT NEW '
GAME BIRDS FROM EUROPE
Tiur, Orfugel and Jarper Suggested for Our Woods, as. Grouse and
Pheasants Thin Out.
SKAMOKAWA, Wash., Sept. 30. (To
the Editor.) Te main birds of our
woods are grouse and pheasants. '.Now,
I would like to say something about
these birds whether they are a good
game for our woods or not.
I came to Wahkiakum County in
1879. and as a hunter from the old
country I started to hint these birds
here. I went out early In the morning,
as it 1b the best time for hunting any
game, and I would be out 15 minutes,
or at the most one hour, and I would
get a few every time, because tese
birds were then plentiful. Well, this
went on for many years, until the
population grew denser and hunters
began to come in from other places to
hunt these blrda. I then commenced
to notice these birds began to decrease in
numbers every year, and today they
are so scarce that you go out for a half
day, and you have to be satisfied if you
get one. Now, as I have had long ex
perience with these birds. I would like
to express my opinion as to whether
they are a suitable game tor these
woods or not. These birds (grouse and
pheasants) are In my Judgthent'a kind
of tame bird. I would like to call them
foolish. They come out to the open
ings and along the roads, and when
the hunter comes, he generally has a
chance to shoot some. In the Fall of
the year, when the young ones are
generally tn flocks, you may kill one
end the remainder of the flock'will fly
up on a log or light in a tree, and you
may kill the most of them before they
fly away. I thlnc almost any man
can see that these birds cannot keep
up In any quantity to satisfy the
sportsmen, not to mention the market.
Our lawmakers may think like this:
We will make a law to protect these
birds, say, for Instance, five years. Well,
the game would increase again, but
when the five years were up and you
let the hunter on again, it would take
about two years -to thin ooit the birds
again, so that they would not be worth
hunting. When I find out . that our
game is not satisfactory. I will present
a game that I believe would be gSod
for theee woods.
There is a European game bird that
belongs to Norway and Sweden; they
are large birds, and there are three
different kinds of them. I will de
scribe them separately. The largest
bird Is called ,'tlur." Is black in color
and will weigh from seven to ten
pounds: that Is. the male bird. The
hen is dark speckled and quite a bit
smaller. The next largest bird Is called
"Orfugel." It is 'the same color and
will weigh from three to four pounds.
ABERDEEN IS COMPLAINING
EFFORT MADE TO FREEZE CITY
FROM NORTHWEST LEAGtE.
Grays Harbor Fans See Ominous
Sign When . Butte Loses Whole
Series to Tacoma.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Oct. 1. (Spe
cial.) It Is the belief of & majority of
those Interested In baseball in Aber
deen that there is a scheme on foot to
keep this city out of the Northwest
League the coming year. For two
weeks President Lucas has shown a
disposition to work against Aberdeen
in re'fuslng certain requests in regard
to umpires, and' there has been trad
ing back and forth of players between
Tacoma and Vancouver. Aberdeen Is
not as good a drawing town as is de
sired, yet the crowds here have been
phenomenal for a. small city. Aberdeen
has put up good money to keep in
the league and was urged by President
Lucas to take a place.
The fact that Butte lost the entire
series to Tacoma last week and many
other things that have occurred lead
the baseball enthusiasts to believe that
an effort Is being made to deprive Ab
erdeen of the pennajit and & place in
the. Northwest League.

SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct- 1. (Special.)
The Cubs are playing like a lot of

through today's game an easy 7-to-0
winner. ' But for the fact that the mat
inee came to a close in the first half of
the seventh Inning because it was rain
ing too hard. Butte would have made
the score still worse. They had two
men in when the game was called, and
the score reverted back to the sixth in
ning. For three weeks Seattle has
played ewery day, with frequent double-headers,
and the strain has broken
down the team. Allen was wild and
was hit opportunely. That, with er
rors, explains Butte's victory. Score:

TACOMA, Oct. L (Special.) Slim Nel
son had the best of the battle of south
paws here this afternoon and by reason
of bis brilliant pitching the Tacoma
Tigers won the first of the series from
Spokane by the close score of 1 to 0.
Tacoma has now won ten straight games.
Jensen opposed Nelson and the two Norse
men engaged in one of the greatest pitch
ing duels seen In Tacoma ftiis yeai Nel
son allowed two singles, one to Rocken-
field in the second and one to Altman in
the eighth. Altman was doubled up at
second In a fast play by the Tacoma ln
flelders. Only three Indians reached
first base, Suess, third man, being hit by
a pitched ball. The Tigers could con
nect with Jensen's curves but four times.
Fortunately for Tacoma Lynch and Kel-
lackey collected their singles in the sec
ond inning and one score resulted.
Lynch was on second when Kellackey
hit through third base and he was all
but caught at the plate. Jensen gave
two bases on balls, but the Tigers could
never follow with a hit. Their remain
ing two singles came In different in
nings. Behind Nelson, the Tacoma team
played a fast, snappy and errorless game.
Altman's two errors for Spokane were
not costly. Nelson's victory yesterday
was his sixth consecutive one since
Joining Tacoma. He has given a total
of but 15 hits In the six games and
walked but four batters to first base

Amspiger Returns to College.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or.. Oct. 1. (Special.) "Ole" Amsplger.
the famous Oregon tackle, has returned
to college, and his presence on the grid
iron will help Oregon's chances for again
winning the Northwest championship.
The smallest bird is called "Jarper," it
is a speckled bird and about the size
of a pheasant.
I hunted these birds for about 20
years before I came to this country,
and I will say something about the
nature of them. They are hardy and
thrifty, quite wild. Increase very fast,
and their feed in the Summer is green
plants and other things they will pick
up on the gTound. In the Winter time,
when the ground is covered with deep,
snow, they browse up in the fir and
spruce, and when the evening comes,
if it is cold and stormy, they will fly
down and cover themselves in th,e
snow and the next morning fly up in
the trees again.
To prove what this game is doing for
Norway, I wish some men from this
state would take a trip over to Nor
way in the Fall or Winter, and they
will find these birds oh the market all
over the country, and some of this
game Is sent to England every Win
ter. I believe if we could get a pretty
large shipment of these birds, and if a
few pair of the different kinds were re
leased in the green timber in different
places throughout the state, that we
would, after 1J or 20 years, have these
birds all over our woods, and it
wouldn't be a game only for the
sportsman, because the birds referred
to would then be so plentiful that you
would have them on the market and
they would prove a yearly income to
the state.
There is a corporation in Michigan
that imported 100 of these birds four
years ago from Norway and Sweden.
This corporation owns an island called
Grand Island, situated near the south
shore of La-ke Superior, and that Is
where they let -out these birds. This
Island IS timbered with fir, spruce and
some underbrush and Is none too suit
able for the purpose. J have corre
sponded with a man from Ishpeming,
Mich., who belongs to this corpora
tion, and he said the birds were shipped
in crates and came through all right,
with a few exceptions. He added that,
so far as he knew, the birds were doing
satisfactorily.
- Two years' ago the Legislature of
Michigan amended the game laws so as
to ive these birds protected for 10
years, so as to be on the safe side. If
the Legislature of this state would
think enough, of this communication to
have this matter investigated, I am
satisfied that sooner or later these
birds will be imported to these woods
and wilt prove to be the right kind of
game for this country.

HOPE FOB VICTORY GONE
CHICAGO AMERICANS' LAST
CHANCE VANISHES.
Evident Disposition In orthwest
f
League to Favor Tacoma a's
Against Aberdeen.
The defeat of the Chicago American
League club by the New York Highland
ers yesterday has disposed of all hope
of another ' victory by Comlsky's world's
champions of last year, and the club
which competes with the Chicago Na
tionals next week for the premiership
will be either Detroit or Philadelphia.
Yesterday both these clubs were vic
torious over their, respective opponents,
the Washington and Cleveland clubs. To
day and tomorrow Philadelphia and Be
tron are scheduled to meet the same
clubs and both battles will he hard
fought contests which may put either
team out of reach of.' victory.
For he benefit of a number of In
quirers it may be said that Donovan of
the Detroit team has not made a record
for pitching a long game In the major
leagues, for Al Coombs of the Philadel
phia team twirled the entire game in the
memorable 24rlnning contest against
Boston In 1906. Donovan's performance
Is none the less remarkable on this ac
count, for the reason that the strain
he was under was much greater than
that experienced by Coombs, for the
opposing clubs on Monday were compet
ing for the lead and the victory meant
much to either team, while In the Bos
ton game the Beaneaters were hopeless
ly out of the race.
On Friday and Saturday the Athletics
wind up the season with three games
with Washington, while Detroit plays the
final contests with St. Louts.
The Northwest league is having a close
fight to decide the pennant-holder. The
contending teams are Aberdeen and Ta
coma, and. Judging from the regularity
with which the opposing teams lose to the
Tigers. It would appear as though Aber
deen were about to be "bunked" out of
the- pennant. The reason for this Is
quite apparent when It is remembered
that the Grays Harbor town is not
wanted In the circuit next season and
therefore It would be better to have Ta
coma win. Aberdeen has been a sore
spot In the hearts of Dugdale and Lucas,
because ttie Black Cats secured a high
priced team which succeeded in trimming
Seattle so often and so hard that Dug's
bunch was hardly in it until last week,
when they braced up wonderfully and
under the Influence of a partial umpire
succeeded In trimming the Aberdeen
bunch for the first time during the sea
son. While Seattle was performing this
phenomenal stunt Butte obligingly

Washington Politicians Who Want

WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Oct. 1.
(Special.) Members of the Walla Walla
Commercial Club who attended the First
annual banquet of the 'Kennewick Com
mercial Club In honor of the opening of
the new $47,000 hotel, Saturday evening,
were surprised to learn that numerous ef
forts were made to inject politics In the
various responses to toasts, -but they
were no less pleased to note that even
in the Yakima Valley there is evidently
a strong sentiment in favor of Congress
man Jones remaining In the lower house
of Congress and making a trial for the
chairmanship of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee.
This sentiment was voiced by J. A.
Rose, a prominent business man of Kln
newlcs!, who responded to the toast "The
Kennewick. Commercial Club." His state
ment that the Commercial Club would
use its influence to put the Washington
Congressman in the place about to be
vacated by Congressman Burton as chair
man of the Rivers. and Harbors Commit
tee was greeted with prolonged cheers. -
Congressman Jones and Governor Mead
were present, and at the first opportunity
the toastmaster In a very awkward man
ner brought before the meeting the fact
that J,ones is aspiring to a seat In the
United States Senate.

Mead and Jones both addressed the as

Columbia and the latter that It was the
policy of the Government, through Its
