Manager "Red" Rupert ana his Baby
Beavers handed the Salem Lojus a 6-to-0
whitewashing; on the Vaughn
street grounds yesterday afternoon and
by so doing the Portlanders are still
tied for first honors In the Inter-clty
Baseball League with Woodburn.
With any kind of support Tom Keene,
the lanky Salem twirler, should have
cut off about five of the runs regis
tered by the winners. In the seventh
four Baby Beavers trotted across the
rubber without the semblance of a safe
hit-
The scoring ' started in the third,
when, with two down,. "Ike" Wolfer
tripled to right, Jones letting the ball
roll to the fence. Collie rruhot, the
next man up and one of the big stars
of the contest, let drive at one of
Keene's slants and when the ball was
returned to the Infield "Wolfer had
counted and Druhot was catching his
breath on third. He scored on an er
ror by Herman.
Al Zweifel allowed but two hits and
both were of the scratchiest order. In
the seventh Gobel beat out a slow ball
to Casey, who threw late to first, and
two Innings later Just as "Wolfer was
ready to gather in an easy ball from
Relnhardt, the pill hit a bump and
bounced over "Ike's" head for the sec
ond and final hit by Salem.
"Whitey" McBride walloped two hits
in three trips to the'plate for the Bea
vers. Keene struck out 14, four of
them coming in the seventh, when the
locals scored four times. He struck
out Ingles, but Gill dropped the third
strike and Ingles went safe at first.

of the Baby Beavers at the Vaughn

RYAN SPOILS RECORD
K1IIST ERROR COMES AFTER 68
FLAWLESS GAMES.
Autrer. Rlaherg, Galloway and Coffey
Lead Infleldera and Kenworthy
Accepts Most Chances.
When Buddy Ryan, Salt Lake's left
nelder, was charged up with an error
on his home Jot Jn the first game of
the Fourth of July double-header, the
official scorer spoiled the best chance
that anybody has had in the last three
years of breaking the consecutive error
less game record made by Roy Moran,
of Sacramento, in 1913. For, up to
that holiday double-header, Ryan had
a clean record of 68 games without an
error, and four more games would have
equaled the Moran record in number
of games, although not in the total
fielding chances handled. Up to July 3
Ryan had handled 130 putouts and
seven assists in left field in 67-games,
and three putouts in one game in right
field and no error marred his record
page a total of 140 fielding chances
without error in 68 games.
Moran's record made in 1913 was 72
games In center field with a total of
175 putouts and 13 assists before he
was charged with his first error of the
season and as in the case of Ryan,
so in Moran's case, his first error was
charged up on his home lot.
Besides Ryan in left field, Salt Lake
has one more topnotcher among the
league outfielders, Jimmy Shinn. lead
ing the right fielders with only one
error out of a total of 120 fielding
chances, and also leading all the out
fielders in total assists with 22. Bodie.
of San Francisco, is the best ground
coverer among the outfielders, having
handled cleanly a total of 225 fielding
chances in center field. Quinlan, Salt
lake's center fielder, with 193 fielding
chances accepted, is next in line to
Bodie for the greatest number of plays
handled cleanly in the outfield. But
Quinlan s 11 errors pull him down to
the bottom of the list in. a percentage
ranking of center fielders.V
Among the inflelders the following
have the best fielding records for the
various positions: Autrey. San Fran
cisco, at first base: Risberg. Vernon.
at second base, although Rodgers. of
Portland, and Guigni, of Salt Lake,
must be reckoned with if they continue
the- records they have made thus far
for the small number of games they
have played; Galloway, Los Angeles,
third base,' and Coffey, San Francisco,
shortstop.
Kenworthy, Oakland second baseman,
is back at his old trick of being the
best ground-covering infielder of the
league, having handled cleanly a total
of 519 fielding chances around the key
stone sack. Downs, San Francisco sec
ond baseman, is next in line with a
total of 490 chances acepted, and Kle
berg". of Vernon, is third, with 468
fielding chances without error. Among
the shortstops Coffey, of San Francisco,
leads in total chances accepted with
434. and Davis, of Oakland, his nearest
rival, i3 far behind with only 306.
Jones, of San Francisco, leads the third
basemen, having accepted 250 chances,
with Bates, of Vernon, close on his
heels with 244 chances handled with
out error.

COLLEGE SOLDIERS AIDED
Faculty and Students Contribute to
"Washington University Fund.
SEATTLE Wash., July 8. Contribu
tions to tho TYlPtlH fund rt fnmfionu
thA nnivcrcHv rnntlne-nnf in thA Qanl
ond Washington infantry, now on the
Mexican border, are being received at
the University of Washington. In the
first week following President Suz
zallo's appeal for gifts to the fund,
from which such additions as butter
and relishes and cheese are to be made
to the regular Army ration. Comptroller
Condon received 1123 for the boys.
The first alumni association of the
university to Indicate its Intention to
swell the fund was . that at Olympla.
Comptroller Condon saw Ralph Ben
jamin, '14, of Olympla, at the Amer
ican Lake encampment a few days be
fore the regiment left - for Calexico,
and Benjamin said the capital city as
s( :lation intended to send on a check
for 550.
Business and professional men of the
university district of Seattle, through
their commercial club, have plans
under consideration for an appreciable
contribution to the fund. Various in
dividuals among them already have
given. The University State Bank and
the Rogers Candy Company, on the
Friday before the guardsmen left
Camp Brown, sent over 150 pounds of
candy to the soldiers of Company F.
R. C. Dressier, president of the Uni
versity Commercial Club, on the day be
fore the company went away, sent over
a check for $20.
Reports from the camp indicate that
the guardsmen fully appreciated the
gifts. One evening there was no ra
tion of meat in camp and they had
to draw on the fund for a slice of ham
for each soldier. The company clerk,
E. H. Badger, wrote to the university
that the company cook, a veteran of
the Philippine and Cuban campaigns,
said that with a mess fund of $200 a
month he could assure the boys of
butter, canned milk, cheese, relishes
and a fresh vegetable now and then
President Suzzallo has said that the
university will regard contributions to
the fund as gifts to the university it
self, and will express commensurate
appreciation.

Rea Lentz, pilot of the Romano Spe
cial of Seattle, arrived in Portland
yesterday to prepare for the automo
bile speed races next Sunday 'and. at
his request. Manager Hiller has added
one new feature to the programme. The
Romano Special, built and designed by
E. J. Romano, of Seattle, is said to be
one of the fastest cars in the world,
and Lentz believes he can shatter the
world's record for one mile) standing
start, established by Bob Bur man. This
record is 58 4-5 seconds.
Henry North, driver of the Schneider
Special of North Yakima, arrived with
Lentz and went out to the Rose City
Speedway with Manager Hiller. The
track is in fine condition and, when the
oilers have finished their work today,
it will be ready for real speed.
The complete programme for the July
speed meet follows:
1. Class D. non-stock, one mile
against time, four to qualify for the
Australian pursuit race.
2. Class E, 25-mile race, prizes S200",
$100. $60 and $10.

race, up to 20 miles; prizes $200 and
$100.
4. Lentz, driving, Romano Special
against Burman's one-mile record,
standing start.
5. Fifty-mile race; prizes $500. $250,

on the programme. It made a tre
mendous. hit at Spokane. The entries
will be the four cars which made the
beg time in the qualifying mile, and
they will be started from the quarters.
The race will continue up to 20 miles
until one car has passed all three cars
ahead.
Omar Toft, who built and drives the
Omar, a fast car, did not qualify at
Spokane, but he expects to be in the
money in Portland. This car has a
four-cylinder Dusenberg motor, with a
piston displacement of 289.2 cubic
inches. Mr. Toft shipped his car direct
from Los Angeles to Spokane and )hls
will be his first visit to Portland.
Most of the drivers and cars will
be here within the next day or two
ready for their trial spins.
CANOEISTS ARE WARNED
Physical Director Says Only Swim
mers Should Rl6k Craft.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Se
attle, July 8 "Unless a person can
swim, he should never go canoeing,"
Dr. D. C. Hall, head of the physical
education department in the state uni
versity, warned the Summer session
students in a general notice about the
safest way to avail themselves of the
pleasures of canoeing on Lake Wash
ington. "Safety first should be the motto,"
he declared.
"The accidents occur usually in one
of two ways, either by changing
places in the canoe, or while getting
into, or out of the canoe. The craft
often are capsized by taking the
waves in the wrong way. The right
way is to cut across them diagonally.
If whitecaps are visible, do not at
tempt the open water, but stay close to
shore.
"When the canoe is overturned, the
persons in it should seize the canoe
in
' - - S

r 'A "i
j - f - i .-;
V
-fc. . -f'.
immediately and hang on with arms
locked across it. Even for expert
swimmers, this is the best way, espe
cially where the water is cold. No at
tempt should be made to change places
in a canoe until the canoe is beached."
The University of Washington has a
definite set of regulations governing
canoeing. The craft must pass in
spection, be numbered and be equipped
with air tanks at each end. Overload
ing is forbidden, and the capacity of
each craft is painted on it. Students
who violate this rule are disciplined
vigorously.

From Marseilles northeastward and
so on to Paris. France, after one leaves
the southern gateway, is one vast hos
pital. The streets of every town are
full of convalescents, with heads ban
daged, with arms in slings, limping
on crutches all men that a year ago
were In the pink of health and at the
top notch in efficiency; many of them,
If they can be made whole, soon to
return to the trenches. Not a few
have been back and forth from the
front, wounded and cured, as many as
three times. Batches of unwounded
have been "lent" for a fortnight to till
their fields. The hospitals are often
full, but though there is adequate care
of the war patients, there is no en
couragement for the ordinaryigcases, for
the care of which these hospitals were
originally Intended; civilian sick must
take their chances In their forsaken
homes. The surgeons are overworked
and I have already mentioned the con
version of the schoolhouses into hos
pitals. All the women of France are,
in some way, serving their country,
mostly, I think, as nurses; even the
children help to serve. In a thousand
ways war has swallowed life. Yet at
the prefecture In Chambrey I was told
that I might officially say that no
word of protest against the war has
been made; war has become a normal
condition.

FRISKY MAN OF 81
ADVISES HARD WORK
Washington Barbee Ignores All
Speed Regulations in Push
ing uaroen cultivator.
HEELS POP JUMPING IN AIR
After 7 2 Years as User of Chewing
Tobacco, Weed and Liquor Are
Given rp Full Chicken
Dinner Much Enjoyed.
Washington Barbee, of 1146 Denver
avenue, is 91 years old today. If he
felt spryer he might be arrested for
disturbing the peace.
In elucidation of that remark, note
that at the formal birthday celebration
in his honor held at his home yester
day. Mr. Barbee consumed a full
chicken dinner, old Missouri style, and
finished off by sampling three kinds
of pie. Then, to show a reporter how
good he felt, he went out in the front
yard. Jumped in the air and kicked his
heels together before he lit.
Somebody suggested a photograph of
Mr. Barbee working his cultivator in
the garden. Hardly were the words
spoken when Mr. Barbee had his coat
off and was disappearing at a rapid
dogtrot for the woodshed. Mr. Barbee
toted his cultivator out into the garden,
and defied all speed regulations while
operating it.
Hts garden Is Mr. Barbee's especial
pride. He has two full patches, one,
of two ity lots and one of half a lot
There is not a weed in either.
Work Recipe for Long Life.
"If I were to live my life over
again." said Mr. Barbee, "I would fol
low the same occupation, that of farm
ing. I was born in Missouri, July 10,
1825, and I waa a farmer in that state
until I was more than 70 years old.
"The only recipe I know for long life
and happiness is to have work to do
and do it. and eat whatever you want.
"1 chewed tobacco for 72 years but
I don't chew it now. I never will
chew or smoke or drink liquor again.
"Something like 18 years ago a doc
tor told me to take a spoonful of pure
grain alcohol, sweeten it. and drink
it In a tumbler of hot water before
breakfast. I drank that alcohol for
l-6 years.
"After a while I got so I hated to
wait long enough for the water to get
hot. Then I took to drinking a little
snort at night. Next thing I was tak
ing it three times a day and oftener.
Indulgence la Given l.'p.
"One day about two years ago I got
to thinking. I reached into my pocket
and took out ray plug of tobacco and
threw it away. From that moment I
have not chewed, smoked, taken a drop
of liquor or medicine of any kind."
Mr. Barbee has a remarkably reten
tive memory, and it is in as good
working order today as It ever was.
He told with evident relish of his ex
perience as a member of the Missouri
militia in the Civil War.
"If President Wilson calls for volun
teers to fight Mexico. I am going to
volunteer. I would make a better
soldier than a lot of those who would
go. My father organized a company to
fight in the first Mexican war."
Mr. Barbee and Mrs. Barbee, who Is
73 years old and likewise in robust
health, came to Oregon from Missouri
14 years ago.
Mr. Barbee has been married twice
and of his 15 children several are liv
ing, including a daughter 69 years old.
Those who attended the birthday
dinner In his honor yesterday were
Mr. Barbee and his wife; his daughter,
Mrs. T. II. Wilson, and her husband;
another daughter, Mrs. W. F. Ball, and
her husband, and a son. George T. Bar
bee, his wife and their three children.

JAPANESE PARTIES UNITE.
Governmental and Opposition Lead
ers Agree on Harmony Plan.
TOKIO, July 8. Japanese political
parties, both governmental and opposi
tion, have reached a harmony pro
gramme of national policy. At a re
cent meeting of political leaders it was
agreed to work in unison in the in
terests of the empire on all questions
of foreign policy and national defense.
The project was inaugurated by Vis
count Miura, a member of the Privy
Council, who believes that national
welfare and progress necessitate con
certed action and that party interests
should be disregarded on all matters
touching the defense of the nation and
Japan's relations with foreign powers.
Laughs ISest Who Langhs Last.
St. Paul Dispatch.
The war stocks continue to mount
skyward. With each new movement
upward, people have been tempted to
peculate, but refrained, sigh and ejac
ulate: "Oh, if I had only bought some
of that stock when it was at rock
bottom price!" And they are not a
little envious of the fortunate ones
who have speculated and won.
It must be confessed that the temp
tation to go into the market and pick
up a little easy money-while the pick
ing Is good is almost overwhelming
and well-nigh universal during a
period like the present.
But there is consolation for those
who have chosen to avoid the snares
of the tempter. A time is coming, and
it may not bo very far distant, either,
when the unsophisticated stock spec
ulators are going to receive a dread
ful Jolt. Every sane observer knows
that the war stocks are inflated out
of all proportion to their real value,
and that one of these days the bot
tom will fall clear out of the market.
Then the persons who have Invested
not w.lsely. but too deeply, will be ob
jects of pity rather than envy. And
the saner folk will be wearing the
smile that won't come off.

of Company C, First Regiment. Con
necticut National Guard. Tears coursed
down the mother's cheeks as she kissed
each of the boys just before the train
pulled out, but it was evident that her
spirit was far from broken. (
"You're all I've got, but I want you
to do your duty." she said.

According to researches which have
been made by a French professor it
would appear that submarines have al
most as hoary a past as aeroplanes,
which, as is well known," Involved ideas
which are centuries old. - It appears
that submarines were built as early as
the beginning of the 17th century. The
origin of the invention is older still.
Aristotle tells how Alexander the Great
made use of submarines during the
siege of Tyre more than 300 years be
fore' Christ.
A Dutchman named Cornelius Van
Drebbel astounded London in 1620 with
a submarine that held 11 oarsmen and
some paseengers. among whom was
King James I.
Previous to this, in 1684. a monk sug
gested the idea that a ship be con
structed of metal so as to be water
tight and able to resist the pressure ot
water. A submarine was constructed
according to the monk's Idea, and was
shown to be practicable to a certain
degree. -
In 1537 a ship with SO cannon. 80 sail
ors, and many bags of money on board
blew up and sank in the port of Dlppe.
Three years later a Frenchman. Jean
Barrie, called Pradine. builC according
to the old monk's ideas, a submarine
with which he promised to rescue the
bags of goldr and silver from the wreck,
and possibly some pieces of artillery.
The great Pascal, then a little boy,
was an eye-witness to the experiments
of Pradine, which were carried on till
1650 with ultimate success.
Wireless la Science.
Exchange.
Scientists and atrtomr are fully
agreed that wireless telegraphy can be
used for an accurate determination of
longitude. The successful work of the
American and French parties in the
Winter of 1913-14 in determining the
difference of longitude between Wash
ington and Paris settled this important
scientific point; a work in which the
astronomers of the United States naval
observatory had an important part. It
has been satisfactorily demonstrated
that for the connection of important
places, where high power wireless sta
tions are available, there is great ad
vantage over the old cable methods.
In the transmission of wireless time
made by local and French scientists
from Washington to Paris and vice,
versa, it was found with a fair degree
of precision to be only one-fifteenth of
a second. To make this determination
of longitude differences it is necessary
to make a signal at. any wireless sta
tion and to have this signal received
and the time observed at points where
differences of longitude are to be de
termined. For the accuracy of this de
termined time it is necessary to have
recourse to astronomical observations,
which renders the United States naval
observatory the ideal place from which
the test of these scientific values can
best be obtained.
Genesis of the "Word "Admiral."
Christian Science Monitor.
One of the commonest words in the
English language, especially at the
present moment, is the word admiral.
Yet few people seem to have any
knowledge that It was imported into
the language from the Arabic. The
word, in short, is only the modernized
form, through Latin translation, of the
word amir or emir, which means a
commander. The amlr-al-bahr was the
commander of the sea. and was one of
the many variations of the title amir
al-mumminin, or commander Of the
faithful, assumed by the Caliph Oma.
Mediaeval Europe appropriated the
word and Latinised It as admiralls,
from whence it came into the French
language through the old French ad-
mirall. Its first appearance in English
prose is in the chronicle of Layamon.
that famous monk of Earnley, on the
Severn Sea. who took a bookskin and
wrote on It his famous chronicle. .La
yamon talks of an admiral of Babl
loine. This was In 1205, but it was not
until two and a half centuries later
that the word appeared, for the first
time. In the chronicle of Calgrave, in
the form "amyrel of the se." From
thence It has descended to Us in the
form popularly known.
The Cat as Germ Carrier.
New Tork World.
Tou have watched the household pet
washing itself after a meal.
"Isn't kitty cunning and graceful?"
someone exclaims. "And cleanly," ob
serves another.
Now those very operations which
are kitty's post-prandial ablutions
may be the means of conveying a
contagious disease to the child of the
house, when the two get to playing
The cat's corrugated tongue offers an
especially attractive abode for mi
crobes, which, while the animal Itself
may not be susceptible to them, be
come dangerous when displaced from
their lodgments and spread over the
cat's body by the washing process.
The list of diseases to which the cat
can be victim is surprising, if one
believes the naturalist. In his Judg
ment, with which, however, all physi
cians do not completely agree, the cat
can transmit tuberculosis, tetanus,
scarlet fever, smallpox, diphtheria,
measles, whooping cough, mumps and
ringworms. Being by nature some
thing of a scavenger, the cat rarely
misses the opportunity offered by an
uncovered garbage can. and in this and
numerous other ways it acquires
noxious germs.
