Several games with teams from all over the state are wanted and may be arranged by communicat lng with Manager Baker, in care of the Salem Y. M. C A. for every thousand Inhabitants. The deaths recorded numbered 5898. a mor tality of 8.8. as estimated from the United States census of 1910. Commenting on the extraordinarily low death rate. Dr. C. S. White, sec retary of the board, -Bays: "While this rate, to one versed In statistics would seem Impossible, yet a moment's reflection will show that this practically is correct. Our census shows that . we have 100, 000 more men than women in the state; It further shows that in a Falcon. San Francisco for Seattle, off Til lamook Head, -with Crescent In tow. large number of the so-called frontier counties there Vre very few old people, and, of necessity, very few that are very young, as the whole state Is populated rather by people in the very active walks of life excluding both the very old and the very young. This, added to the further fact that in none of our cities are there any tenement districts, that our climate is equable and there is little suffering from ex treme heat or extreme cold, that food of every description is abundant and within reach of almost everyone, that crowded housing conditions do not as yet concern us, ' while . our mountain streams offer supplies of pure water that need not be filtered or treated, will make for this country a mortality rate that will always he lower than that of some of our most favored East tern states."

Jones, president of the Northwestern League, " returned yester day from the Columbus Minor League meeting with the word that Cleveland has sold Catcher Land to the Indianap olis club of tne American Association. Both Portland and the Venice clubs of the Coast circuit had been hot after the veteran. President Jones says there were fewer deals put through at this gather ing of baseball celebratles than at any meeting In years. They all wanted excess gold for counterfeit players," remarked the former Chicago manager. "The only matter of much moment disposed of was the adoption of a resolution calling on the majors to cease their practice of putting in drafts for half a hundred minor leaguers and then cancelling them two or three days later, v. "A cotsmlttee was named to treat with the National Commission and this obnoxious practice likely will be done away with." President Jones, Robert Brown, of Vancouver, and D. E. Dugdale, , of Se ttle, represented the. Northwestern League at Columbus. Mr. Jones says the Pacific Coast rep resentatives budded out in full dress suits and looked for all the world like foreign diplomats. Hap Hosan, a usual, furnished the vaudeville.

I ELK HOKXS ARE UNCLAIMED Game Warden Suspects Illegal Kill- ' lng of Animal. In the office of William L. Finley, State Game Warden, there stands one of the biggest and most beautiful pair of elk antlers seen in Portland, and no one has claimed the trophy. The apparent reason for that Is simple. There Is a closed season on elk in Oregon and adjoining states. The antlers in the Game Warden's office were taken from an animal killed less than two weeks ago, the official be lieves. Late last night Mr. Finley received a call informing him that there was a pair of beautiful antlers in a saloon at 2S5 Yamhill street and that a man was trying to sell them. Mr. Finley jumped in a cab and went down there. The flesh on the head was fresh, he said, despite the fact that It had been scalded and burned to make it have the appearance of age. The antlers comprised ten prongs and measure more than four feet across the tips. The skull is one of the largest Mr. Finley has seen. They were found in the saloon by Deputy Sheriff Pies, of Tillamook County, who says he was called into the saloon by a friend for the purpose of Inspecting the horns. He said he did not know how they got there. The bartenders have different stories as to how the horns got there. The proprietors of the place declare they are not acquainted with the owner of the horns. ASHLAND ENTERTAINS PLAYERS Sox and Giants, Taken for Tour of Valley, Find Friends and Kin. ASHLAND.

L,ynvu. pany took the franchise over the middle of last season when Joseph P. Cohn sold out in June. Mr. Farr is president of the club. He says: "The company was well pleased with the patronage which the Spokane fans gave their club the latter part of the season. We feel that Spokane will sup port a winning -team. We are deter mined to let Spokane have one if money can produce it. "The manager of the club will have to spend at least one month and prob ably longer in California this Winter looking over - baseball players there. Our experience with men like Pappa and Fitzsiramons has encouraged us in the belief that this is the way to get some good young players. We want some more of the type we got from St. Mary's College last Spring." IAlso the Indians will probably train In California next Spring.

Nov. 17. Gunboat Smith, of San Francisco, was given the decision over Sam Langford. of Boston, at the end of a 12-round bout here tonight. Smith led cleverly during the early rounds, scoring' repeatedly on left Jabs to Lhngford's head and body. The Bos. ton negro made no serlou3 attempt at defense. But as the bout went on the San Francisco heavyweight wearied and Langford assumed the aggressive, sending left and right to Smith's body at short range. Smith swung unsuc cessfully at Langfcrd'a head. So many and so strong were Langford' s blows in the closing rounds that spectators expressed- surprise at the decision of Referee Flemming. Smith, at the start. Jabbed away with his left, supplying nearly all the action. Lanfgord did not seem to be bothered by long range blows, turn ing them away without effort and standing up under others without de fense. Occasionally, he landed right or left on Smith s body, but not until the seventh Tound did he make any ap parent attempt to end the battle. Then Langford -started a short range fight which, in the eighth round, resulted In opening Smith's cheek under the left eye. Smith, by reputation a strong right hand fighter, relied on his left jabs throughout. Several attempts to land right swings met with varying success. Rjt his jabs were continuous. Smith's cheek bled freely as the tight neared tha end, the blood getting Into his eye and blinding him. He also seemed fatigued, and hung on to his opponent. Langford, although ap parently carrying more weight than at any time in his career, appeared strong to the last, langrord was unmarked. CHARGES NOT RULED ON QUESTION RAISED ABOUT INTER- SCHOLASTIC PLAYERS FE3VDS. Dr. J. W. Rill, Author of Complaint, Says Investigation ' Should Be Made Before Games Played. Although a football game is sched uled for tomorrow in the Port land Interscholastic League, nothing definite has been done in regard to the protested Washington High School and Lincoln High School players. Joseph W. Hill, of the Hill Military Academy, protested Wilson, Tegart, Davis, Cochran and Edris all of the Washing ton High School, together with Captain Mulkey, Booker and Henderson, all of the Lincoln High School, on the grounds of being non-resident pupils attending 1'ortland schools and not paying tui tion. Mr. Hill bases l4s protests on two clauses or tne bylaws of the Schoo Board holding that all feats of stu dents .who are not bona fid 8 students are forfeited. The other clause of the Interscholastic League on which he bases his protests is that games in which all students not regularly regis tered take part shall be forfeited to tne opponents. As yet no meeting has been called by Dr. J. R. Wilson, of the Portland Academy, and President of the Portland Interscholastio League although in a case of emergency one will be held today. "I do- not feel that it is right that any games in which these protested players are to participate, should be played until final action has been taken on the matter," said Mr. Hill last night. "The eligibility rule clearly states who Is eligible and who is not and until these charges are thrown out these players are incompetent. the conditioning of the men would more unset kio aaaixionai expense.
