This is not so disastrous with deer as with elk, but neither are good at such time: and the flesh of the males, which are always selected for slauehter be cause of their teeth and antlers, !s strong and almost uneatable.

Negotiation are under way for the or ganization of an Intermountain baseball i league, to comprise the cities of Butte, ' Helena. Salt Lake, Ogden, Boise City and either Pocatello or Anaconda. The pros pects are said to be very bright for the ' successful completion of the plan in the near future. Prominent baseball fans of Butte. Boise : and Salt Lake have begun negotiations Tilth a view to organizing the league, and President Lucas, o the Northwestern League, has been asked to act as organ izer as well as nresidcnt of the new or ganization. While he has not accepted . the Invitation of the intermountain fans. I is aeriouslv considering; the proposition. Saturday evening Mr. Lucas and Judge 1 M.Pr.rtie discussed the proposition at length, and as a result of their meeting ' tt was agreed that Lucas could handla ; the new leajtue in addition to the .Norm ' western clubs. According to the decision of MeCredie and Lucas, the latter could make his ' Portland headquarters the central office of both organizations, and when necessary ' he could tail meetings of the new league at either Boise or ilt Lake, both of which points are easily reached from Portland. The Butte fans, who are well pleased at beine rid of Rusg Hall, are exceeding ly anxious to secure a place in a regular league. Jack Klannery. Chief of Police . of Helena and an old baseball player him self, attended the Seattle meeting last week to ask recognition for his city, but, owing1 to previous arrangements, Helena could not be considered. Ho Is now one of the movinsr spirits in promoting the new league. Boise has signified its desire to have a ball team, and Salt Jake and Ogden have been hungry for basehall for several years. Salt Lake and Butte are among tb best-paying baseball centers in the West, but unfortunately are sit uated at such great distances from other cities of their class as to make a prof itable alliance with them prohibitive. However, the plans proposed by Presi dent Lucas (or the organization of the ntw league practically assures those tonus of baseball. According to the pres ident of the Northwestern League and the Portland magnate, the new organiza tion could be perfocted and granted a class C rating, and could furnish a splen did article of baseball for that circuit. The local magnates also look upon it as an Ideal league which would assist great ly In promulgating the National sport in that section of th country. When asked about the prospects of the new league yesterday. President Lucas said: "The prospects for the organization of the Intermountain League, which would be rated as class C. are very bright. I have been requested to assist in organis ing the circuit, which is to consist of Butte. Helena. tlt Lake. Ugilen. Boise and either Pocatello or Anaconda. As soon as the Northwestern and Pacific Coast League matters are adjusted, after tiie meeting at San Francisco. I believe I shall accept their proposition. The fans of that section are hungry for baseball, and I have the greatest confidence in such an organization." In the event that he is successful In in stalMng bis office this week. President Lucas will probably pay Salt Lake a visit immediately after the holidays. FAKDOM AT RANDOM JUDGE AV. W. McCREDTK will leave Portland next Saturday night for San Francisco, where he is to attend the Pacific Coast League meeting- to be held December 21. The judge expects to get back home for t hristmas. . Louis Castro, who formerly played for Portland, and who has been a member of the Atlanta. Southern League team fur the past three seasons, has signed to manage the Macon. Ga.. team in the South Atlantic League next season. Pearl Casey has decided to take a position in McCredies billiard parlors which the manager offered him several days ago. The Portland second-hase-nian. while not a cue expert, delights in the game and decided to take tiie job as a means of putting In his time profitably. There is a strong possibility that Ike Butler may handle the 1 acoma team r.ext season, nltnough Schreeder is looted as savin that another man was tinder consideration. Schreeder has all the lnseba'l material lis needs and therefore is in no hurry to announce his manager. Charity Doyle is also mentioned for the place. Hall seems to be cut of the runnings Pres'dent Lucas says that if all ball players were like Ike Butler the league would indeed be a model one. Jke has played two seasons In the Northwestern ' Leagrue without having been fined or expelled from a game. We hope that ' Bill Hurley will endeavor to emulate this example. . Clark Griffith has finally landed a job. end now tho Eastern scribes can dispense with rutting him in charge , of any other club than Cincinnati. Griff ; has some splendid material in the Clncy .' squad and if he still possesses his In i genulty, the Iteds may srive the Cubs, : Giants and Pirates something to think f about in 190. Bobby Carruthers and Ralph Frary .. will be Northwestern Leapue umpires next season, and the third man will ! probably he selected from among sev- eral Portland aspirants whose applica tions President Lucas has under con i sideration. Carruthers and Frary have demonstrated themselves to be capable men and should be retained. "Buck" Ort. the outfielder and utility man who was dratted by Mi-Credie I from the Lynn. Mass.. club, was for ' merly a cr.rporal in the United States ! army. The members of the artillery cora ; panics at Vancouver know him as he was ! formerly captain and manager of their ' team when they were stationed In New Kr.gland. Ike Butler, the former Portland favorite who is now . member of the Tacoma club, writes from San Diego that he Is d-lighted to know he will again have an ' opportunity of playing In Portland, ike regrets tiiat he will not wear a Portland uniform, but says that he will give Ta- Ssflrna Tti bat-tw r - , ' t I iff ( i r K m i,W V l V.i l :... i : liV' i k.ifj?' two kighters ox WHOM SPOTLIGHTS ARE Tl'HNED I AT FIIKSENT. f EASY MONEY FDR BUHN5 II K KXPKCTS TO COME OFF VICTOIi OVKK JOHNSON". McYey, Prominent In Old Pugilistic Days, Now Favorite of Paris lioulevards. BY W. J. PETRAIN". Oun esthetic friend T. Burns, or as he was christened. Noah Brusso, and the old-time chocolate-colored fall guy for the heavies in the days when Coibett, Fitzsimmons and Jeffries were to the front. Sam McVey, are now occupying the limelight for the pugilistic fans of two continents. The former sojourner within our midst, Mr. Burns, is holding fortli In Australia where he has prevailed upon the British suojects of sporting tendencies to hang tip a handsome purse for him to meet one, Arthur (Jack) Johnson, of dusky hue and ochre courage? and when the battle is over, the Brusso person will store away the greater portion of the gold in his sock, little caring how the black man fares. Burns, whose specially has been the picking off of a few lemons, continues to select this brand of lighting" men as his meat. and. judging by Johnson's past performances, he lonks like an additional quince for the Brusso collection. How ever, when It comes to corralling me mazuma and attaining notoriety. Tommy has the aurora horealis on the press agent stunts of Major Burke and Tody Hamilton. In fact, for a second-rate heavyweight, and a fairly-good middle weight, the Brusso lad takes all the turkey and cranberry sauce when it coni-s to getting away with easy money. One feature of the coming Burns-John son battle is that here In Portland we will learn all about the Bi-rap something like 12 hours In advance, by our time, of Its occurence. The battle Is scheduled to be Dulled off at Sydney on the morn ing of December 3j. which should give us the result somewhere about 11 o'clock Christinas night. Be careful of your bets on Christmas day, but perhaps you won't have any money left on that mo mentous occasion. As far as Sam McVey is concerned, he seems to have made an enormous hit in gay Paris. Sam Is all the candy in the French capital, and Is the center of attraction on the boulevards when he Is not stripped down to lighting trunks In the arena. He Is pointed out as Monsieur McYey, tile champion of the continent. It Is a mystery how Sam has learned to behave in tho face of this prosperity, for coffee and sinkers in 'Frisco looked like chicken to him on many an oc casion. Anyhow the colored lad is getting the imAFTEO 1'HO-M TV COMA. Pitcher A I Carson. Who Will Pitch for the Portland Const t fob.

The baseball situation in California is at a standstill and will De until the annual meeting; of the league. At the present time it looks as if the league will gather here on December 21, but that depends entirely upon Presidents Ban Johnson and Harry Pulliam. who will state Just when they can arrive. Cal Ewing is anxious to talk over affairs with the Eastern officials before Inaugurating a scrap with the California state league. He also wants the unqualified backing of the directors and wishes to explain the situation fully. If either of the Portland ball teams wants a good place to train, Paso Robles Hot Springs is open to them. The manager of the hotel. Dr. Sawyer, stated the other day that It had been suggested to him that one of the teams might like to train there, and he said he would be glad to have them. There is a good diamond close to the hotel, and Dr. Sawyer figures that in addi tion to advertising the resort it would afford his guests something to occupy their minds. The climate is very good in the Spring of tne year, and the proposition is certainly worth considering, unless other plans have been made by the McCredies. Vancouver to Play Dallas. VANCOUVER.

L-het 1, lli.t.V, 1-Qll-,..ba.- atl.l P.lll by HEAVY BOUNTY IS REMEDY Correspondent Asks a Revision ' State Game Laws to Better Pro tect Wild Animals From Rav ages of Nature and Mnn. PORTLAND. Pec. 12. (To the Edi tor.) For some weeks past I have no ticed in The Oregonlan the items pro ana con relating to cougars, goats, an game protection generally. Being sin cerely interested in the protection and preservation of our wild game, permit me to give my views gained from study of existing conditions and from an experience that comes to but few, First let me state that the greatest enemies to goats, deer and elk are 'the bob-cat and cougar. Three years ago last October I placed on a half-section ranch 94 registered Angora goats. To day with the three seasons' increase have less than 25 left, and the same re suits came to a lot of graded goats be longing to a Mr. Johnson, of Scoggin Valley. These goats were largely killed by bob-cats which catch a half grown goat or an old doe. if very hun gry, in and under the front side of the throat near or iti the jugular vein and hang on until the blood is all taken. When a cougar kills a goat, deer or elk as a r-ule the dead animal will be found disemboweled; and of the goats abou nine out of ten are killed by the bob-cat, They, also. In the same manner destroy many. fawn. On the other hand, unles it is our game laws, made largely by people wholly unfamiliar with deer and elk or with their habits, the cougar is the largest factor in the scarcity and continuous decrease of deer and elk. Terrible Toll Exacted. Few know that a cougar often kills as high as three deer in one day and tha a single cougar requires an average of 295 deer per year to satisfy his craving lor blood. Think, you who wish to protec our forest game, of the Immensity of the number; and that a cougar will range back and forth for a distance of lo miles and that our state pays no bounty either on cougar or bob-cats. There Is mounted In n taxidermist's rjlace on Second street this city, a small cougar which killed two full-grown deer just before being killed. He burled one for future need, lest he should fail to secure a fresh victim for the following day. and having taken all of the blood possible of each he fell an easy Drey to the dogs. A cougar in the early morning hours, before he has eaten, is hard to run down or tree; but after he has gorged himself with meat or blood Is easily taken. It is the prevailing opinion that cougar kill no elk. This Is a serious mistake. A cougar Is tod wise to tackle a buck elk but ho kills many of the cows, in ana around the meadows on the Qulnlault res ervation in Washington we found on one triD the carcasses of six cows killed by cougar. They do not respect the "closed season," and will lie for a day or night crouched on a large limb of a tree over a trail, or on a log which has a trail running near it; and if a deer passes he makes short work or sucn. wiin i cow elk he is more cautious, and Is care ful to bound so that he will alight with the claws of his fore paws imbedded on either side of the shoulder and his teeth In the lower part of the back of the neck, then with the hind claws which he drops to the flank he makes a few quick passes which tear open the unprotected skin and allows the entrals to drop down ana out tt.( will then bound off to one side ana follow along cat-like till his victim falls from loss of blood and exhaustion. Asks Heavy Bounty. Thus vou will see that if we wish to preserve our deer and elk, not to mention the goats, we must eliminate ine cougar .,.,.1 hoh-cat and the only manner in which this can be accomplished is for the state to give a good liberal bounty; not f0 which is not the value of a cougar hide, but JsiO. so It will Decome an oujeci for hunters to spend weeks if necessary tn kill a single cougar, and to go to the expense of keeping good "varmint" dogs to aid him. Pay at least 10 bounty on a bob-cat, and S0 on a cougar, ana let the state require that the whole skin, bear! and claws be turned in at this figure. These specimens properly mounted will bring for the cougar irom w io, for. rare sizes. $150; and for the bob-cat from J10 to which would do mucn towards replenishing the fund. However, should there be no returns omer Loan the protection gained, these bounties should be made worth while. Do this and correct the game laws, and our woods wbuld soon again abound with game.

The writer has a beautifully mounted speci man said to be the finest ever taken in Chehalis County. Washington, of one of these dethroned nionarchs. vanquished from the head of his herd on the tjuiniault reservation, soon after which he fell a victim to a deadly bullet. This you will see left the herd still with a male, but had this monarch been picked off by a hunter because of his beautiful antlers, the herd of cows would have been left possibly for a week or two. or in some cases for the season, without a male. In the meantime a portion of the cows would have gone out of season and the next year produced no calves. Advocates Changed Season. No hunter selects a cow to kill when he comes upon a herd of elk in the woods; they all select the leader, which is ever a fine specimen of a buck with large spreading antlers and valuable teeth. Again the "running season" is In a time of year that the woods are attractive to hunters, hence more hunt and kill. Change this to two Winter months, say December and January, and far less hunters will venture Into the woods, and those who do, if they kill a buck elk, will not only get a good piece of meat but no barren cows will be left in con sequence. I believe the Denny pheasant should be protected for at least three years, and the committee will do a good work if it succeeds in having such a law passed. But let sportsmen advocate a bounty on bob-cats which will save many young pheasants both native and Denny, as well as grouse, quail, goats and fawn; then a bounty of not less than $o0 on cougar, eliminate hunting deer or elk in the "running season," and with Indians hunting as little as they now do our fields and forests will soon abound with game even though we had no game laws.

His Proposal to Throw O'Connell 30 Times In One Hour Regard ed a 9 Idle Boast, While the Portland sportsmen have all kinds of faith in the wrestling ability of Eddie O'Connell, Instructor of the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club, and would attend a match between him and Dr. B. F. Roller, of Seattle, until the biggest hall in town would be taxed to hold them, they are not crying to have the match pulled off. They know that Roller is not sincere in his boast that he can throw O'Connell 30 times in one hour as far as straight wrestling goes. If he could, he ought to be ashamed to pick on anybody so small and .weak. The only thing that Dr. Roller has to tie his offer oti Is that by his superior strength and weight, he can cripple O'Connell, perhaps break a leg or arm or otherwise use him up, so that he will have to give up the match and the money. There Is that possibility in any match, but it Is not a probability even in a match between O'Connell and Roller. Roller has put men out of business be fore, but they were not men of the sci ence and experience of O'Connell. Ed has had over 250 professional matches. besides training months at a time with men like Frank Gotch and Fred Been. Either one Is a worse roughhouser than Roller and when Eddie gives that know ing smile and says he knows w-hat he is about in tackling Roller, the fang have to take his word for it. Besides, on "Strangler" Smith's testimony, O Connell Is not ladylike in his gentleness by a long way. There is no betclng, so far, on the Dw3-er-0'Connell match and , there will probably be little unless Dwyer makes some break like Roller did when he strikes town Wednesday. Michael J. is not that kind of an advertiser. He knows O'Connell is a good man. for It took him 34 minutes to throw Ed. three times five years ago. when Ed. was only 18 years of age. With his Improvement, Dwyer knows he will have to extend him self to cop the $1000 purse. It Is an even bt, but each wrestler has so much re spect for the other that he will be wily about wagering any money. i O'Connell made his hurried trip to Corvallls yesterday, where he put 25 wrestlers through their paces of the first lessons of wrestling. It was a strenuous day's training for the Instruc- tor.sfor most of the fellows were from the football squad and outweighed him from five to 40 pounds. He rolled them around until he was weary and then he Dltted them agalnft one another. He considers it the best kind of training n nreparation for Dwyer, who will out weigh him 20 pounds. The advance sale or ticKets startea yesterday. The transfer or the contest to the Exposition rink will give the fans a complete run for their money, because the big pavilion is well lighted and steam-heated.
