Bobby stepping onto the bag. That ante-climax greatly stirred the crowd cf TOO fans. The top-liner's tiara should also be tacked to the alabaster brow of Nick Williams inaninr of the Colts. Nick caught his first game since the shake up which sent Speas to first, Callahan lo left and himself behind the pad, and he besmirched the baseball business of the Bees something wonderful to be hold. Mek Ntpa Three Steals. Nick mowed down three attempted thefta out of four and held Stanley up excellently. It Is pretty tough to be dredged out and credited with a loss after pitching nine Innings and allowing only two hits. But that's what Stanley ran smack up against yesterday. He faced ticklish situations twice through faulty support, but responded nobly until the tenth, when his own mlsjudgment in throwing to second on a bunt paved the way for defeat. Xarveson allowed eight hits, pretty well scattered, Speas and Fries secur ing two apiece. The score: Victoria Portland BHOAE' BHOAE Pells. SIS 00 Bancroft. 81660 Rawlin's.s 4 2 0 H Mohlfr.2.

TRAIN WITH ZEST Nation Preparing Thoroughly for Next Olympiad in 1916. LONDON, May 12. The Olympic Con gress at Louissane brought out pointed ly, chiefly in private conversation among its members, the astounding thoroughness of the German organiza tion for the next Olympic games In Berlin In 1916, according to advices circulated here. It Is said that four departments of the German government are concerned with the organization of athletio clubs and private subscribers are contribut ing on a large scale. American training methods are being closely studied and widely adopted.

LAJOIE-COBB AFFAIR BASIS Former Mentor of St. Louis 'Ameri cans on Stand Denies He Had Men Play So s to Aid Either Batter ' in , Auto Contest. ST. LOUIS. May 12. The St. Louis American League baseball club must pay Jack O'Connor $5000. the' amount he would have received in salary had he no been discharged as1 manager prior to the opening of the 1911 sea son, a Jury in the Circuit Court decided tonight. The trial, which had occupied the court all day, came to a close with un expected suddenness. The Jurors were out only 30 minutes. O'Connor contended he had been en gaged to manage the St. Louis team for hoth the 1910 and 1911 seasons, but that he was dismissed at the end of 1S10. A deposition was filed in tne case today by President Ban Johnson stat ing that he had ordered O'Connor dis missed on the ground that he had In structed Third Baseman John Corridon to play far behind third base when Napoieon Lajole was at bat In the final iouble-header with Cleveland of the season In 1910. At that time there was great rivalry between Lajoie and Ty Cobb, of Detroit, for premier batting honors, and an au tomobile had been "offered as a prize to the winner. Lajole secured eight hits In eight times at bat In the double header, and came within a fraction of tying Cobb's record. Sidney Cook, who witnessed the games from the grandstand, testified he had heard O'Connor Instruct his team to favor their Cleveland opponents. He said he heard O'Connor tell Pitcher Malloy to give bases on balls to certain Cleveland batters, and In one instance heard him Instruct Malloy to hit Man ager McGuire with the ball. These in structions, the witness said,- had the effect of bringing Lajole" to bat every other inning. Cook also testified he heard O'Connor swear at Third Base man Corridon for fielding one of La jole's bunts. Julius Cronhelm. who sat with Cook, testified he had heard the Instructions to the players, but said he was not sure as to the identity of the voices he heard. O'Connor denied he had favored La jole or that he had criticised Corridon for fielding as many of the French man's hits as he did. He denied that he had given the instructions concern ing which Cook and Cronheim testified. Corridon's deposition was filed. He said O'Connor had instructed him when Lajole came to bat to play back, but said O'Connor had not intimated that this was to assist Lajole. After the game, he testified, O'Connor told him that had he played up close he would have "gotten his legs knocked off." - President Hedges, of the St. Louis team, denied that he discharged O'Con nor at the order of Ban Johnson. He also said that between 8500,000 and 8700.000 had been invested in the St. Louis Americans, and that In the last three years $100,008 had been spent in strengthening the team. Mr. Hedges said that he attended the double-header in question and at the time made no protest at the work of the St. Louis players. SEALS OPEN SERIES STROXG Injured Players Recover in Time for .

The Lincoln High and Hill Military baseball teams will this afternoon play their scheduled game postponed from last Friday on the Portland Academy grounds. Marion Mulkey, who recently b a i an automobile acci- wag lujurcu m dent, will be unable to catch and Coach Borleske has oecmou in his place. Billy Lewis will start the game for Lincoln and may pitch only five Innings to allow MoTarnahan a chance to twirl. The game- will start at 8:15 P. M. The Condon ball tossers won an easy 9-to-2 victory over the lone nine Sun day on the lather's grounds. The pitch ins: of Whetstone, of Portland, who struck out 17 lone batters and allowed only four scattered hits, was a feature of the game. A second game between these teams will be played Sunday at Condon. e Heavy hitting by the Portland Moose Lodge baseball players gave them a S-to-0 victory over the Cascade Locks team Sunday. The game was played at Cascade. Crandall and Jameson were the batteries for the visiting team while Glasier and Woodward were In the points for the defeated team. - That Dick Grant, state champion sprinter, would have lowered his rec ord for the century and -220-yard dashes In the state lnterscholastlc meet Saturday, had the track been dry, was the opinion of several lnterscholastlc track coaches upon their return here from Eugene Sunday. Grant made the 100-yard dash In 10 1-6 seconds under adverse conditions. e e . . The defeat, to 5, of the Lad d Gram mar School baseball team yesterday by the Failing nine gives the Chapman players the - undisputed leadership of section one. Until yesterday's result Ladd and Chapman were tied with six victories apiece. Ladd will be com pelled to defeat Chapman Friday In order to bring about a deadlock as to the winner in their section.

It is similar in construction to the Waltham ' Chronometers in use by 2000 jewelers throughout the country and to the Waltham Marine . Chronometer which the U. S. Government buys of us for war vessels. This Waltham Automobile Timepiece is adjusted to temperature and is not affected by extremes of heat and cold. If you are buying a new car be sure it is Waltham equipped. If you already have a car it will pay you in comfort and pride to discard the unsatisfactory clock and install a Waltham. The 8-day movement has a dial indicator which gives warning three days before the timepiece runs down. It can be obtained either alone or in combination with standard speedometers. You can choose between a raised dial and one which is flush with the dash. In its best form this Waltham time piece costs $25. If your dealer is interested in you consult with him.
