Th game was a aur prlas to a majority of the aldellners from th start. Although Jefferson cam on th field with many second team men In its lineup, it was easy to see that th Portland Academy young stars would givs the high school lads a hard struggle.

In ltfer to Oliver Huston, ex-Oro-gon Athlete, Now Yale Man, In nocence Is Protested. Fred Snodgrass, the speedy Californ lan who has been charged with Inten tionally spiking Frank Baker, the Ath letic' star. In the world's aeries, pro tests his innocence in a letter to Oliver Huston, the ex-Oregon athlete, now a student at Tale University. Snodgrass asserts that Baker was to blame for the accident in the third game of the serlea. In the letter the player appeals to his friend to set him right with those who express the opinion that he delib erately spiked Baker. While touring the East last Summer. Oliver Huston, his father. B. B. Huston, a Portland at torney, and his brother, became well acquainted with the New York players while staying at the same hotel in Pittsburg. As Snodgrass was from the Pacific Coast, a friendship resultefi, which led to extensive correspondence between Oliver and the Californian. An excerpt from Snodgrass" letter fol lows: Tours truly has com in for a lot of fierce wrlta-ups. Suppose you have seen aome. They have had me shot, arrested, hooted out of Philadelphia, etc, without a bit of truth In any of it. I am awfully sorry all this haa come up. I am not a dirty ball plavr and a reputation as such has been Dread all over the country for me. Tou know Oliver, when a fellow tries to block a sliding runner off a base he Is liable to get hurt. That Is what happened. Of eojrsa. I am th only on to hav slid Into third. Anyone else would have cut him. X think, same aa I did. Thes rainy days glv th reporters a chance to re hash tv all In so many wars, but always at my expense. It would be the deuce to ,av if I should cot anyone else In this serlea, but It may be. Accldenta will hap pen. He assurd I won , try to hurt any one. .Neither of then two accidents waa Intentional. O've my bst to Carl and your father hen " write. Tell them to be lieve In me and not in some of these fierce nswjpaper plvccs. "I formed quite a liking for Snod--.rBs." said S. B. Huston yesterday, for he Is not only a great player, but one of the most gentlemanly and polite young athlete I ver met. so I am pleased to defend him against thia un merited charge of deliberately trying to cripple one of the Philadelphia play ers. I can quite readily realise how this impression would get out, for Mc Graw formerly bore a very bad repu tation for rowdy tactics, but my asso ciation with the New Vork manager this Summer leads me to believe that he has reformed entirely. "He appealed to me as anything but a rowdy, and was genteel and quiet In his demeanor. Th cnaxg of dav. Iltneratelv tr-vlna- to cripple a fellow' player In any kind of a game Is a ter rible thing to hang over an athlete, and I hop that the fans all over th coun try who hav formed such an opinion of Snodgrass will chauge their minds, for I assure them that he Is not that kind of a player."

The Spokane Amateur Athletle As- Contagious Blood Poison, as 15 all llllt.lluo uiuuu iuiiu " " ttj w " . cated from one person to another. Its virus is of a most insidious nature, multiplying from an insignificant germ in the blood until it becomes a thorough systemic poison. So powerful and dangerous is this terrible blood plague that no time should be lost in trying to drive it from the system. It should not be temporized with, but should be killed as one would a deadly serpent on the pathway. The first mani festation of Contagious Blood Poison is usually a tiny sore or pimple, but it rapidly spreads, and in a short time the entire body shows its presence in the blood. The mouth and throat ulcerate, glands in the groin swell, the hair begins to come out, copper-colored spots appear on the body, and frequently running sores and ulcers break out on the tlesn. A condition of such serious nature requires proper treatment. Not only must the disease Be driven out, but the system which has been weakened by the powerful poison must be built up, before health can be restored. The queston of most importance therefore is what medicine has proven by actual results its superiority as a blood nunnerr We claim this distinction for S. S. S. because of its successful record for more than forty years. ... . S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison by purifying the blood.
