Inability to Get Fire-Fighters Adds to Danger. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 12. (Special.) State Forester Elliott said today that he will ask Governor "Withycombe to morrow to Issue & proclamation closing the deer season until such time as rains have forestalled fire dangers in Oregon forests. . The season under the law Is to open Wednesday, August 15, unless the Governor, at the recom mendation of the State Forester issues a proclamation closing it. Fire danger for 10 years at least has not been so great at this time of the year in Oregon as It Is now," said State Forester Elliott today. 'Small fires are reported from nu merous sections and the timber is as FRED IHOULLEN, FAMOUS ORE GON PINTER, DIES AT SA LEM STATE HOSPITAL. SALEM, Or.. Aug. 12. (Spe cial. )-It was learned today that Fred Moullen, famous football player and punter of the Uni versity of Oregon, died Thurs day, August 9, at the state hos pital here. He was 31 years old and was ' admitted In 1913. The body was sent to Portland, where It was cremated. He was a mem ber of the Elks' Lodge at Eu gene. dry as a bone. But an added danger Is the fact that we are unable to get men to fight fires when they arise. Every man that goes into a forest now increases the danger so much and with labor conditions as they are. difficulty of fighting fires is coupled with the danger of their starting easily. "I think the Governor will issue the proclamation requested." continued Mr. Elliott. "I talked to him. relative to the matter a week ago and he stated at the time that if conditions war ranted It such a proclamation would be Issued, and never have conditions warranted such a move so much as they do now. I understand from the State Fish and Game Commission that it has no power to act in closing the deer sea son In the present Instance. But to allow the season to be opened on scheduled time would endanger mil lions of dollars worth of standing timber. "I realize sportsmen are opposed to this move and a number of them made a protest at a meeting of the Forestry Board held In Portland a few days ago. Sportsmen as a rule are careful, but allowing anyone but the forest patrol in forests at this time merely adds to the danger we are confronting." Amateur Baseball Notes. The Battery A baseball team of Camp. Clackamas defeated the Kirk Patricks yesterday at Cbystal Lake Park, 4 to 1. Smith, Schroeder and Decker and Kraoke formed the winning battery, while Boland and Boland did the work for the lodgemen. Boland struck out 14 men, but support was bad. The Miller & Tracey nine defeated the Hibernians at East Twelfth and Davis streets yesterday, 8 to 0. Hy- ronlmus pitched for the winners, but was hit hard. The sensational fielding of Youmans and Caddigan seved him from defeat. McDonald twirled for the undertakers. Krantz and Murnane formed the Irish battery. Van Blarken and Caddigan were the hitting stars of the day. Manager Carl Duhrkoop, of the undertakers, wou'd like to hear from Bend. Or, or some other out-of town team. Boston Gambler Mobbed.

STAR TROTTERS CARDED MACK FORBES AND THE WOODMAN WILL LOCK HORNS. Honontn Are Aboot Equally Divided as to Their Relative Merits Other Features Listed. CLEVELAND. Aug. 12. With the 2:09 trot, in which the season's two un beaten trotters. Mack Forbes. 2:08. and The Woodman, 2:06, will lock Horns, as the big opening feature, the second North" Randall Grand Circuit meeting of this season Is scheduled to open tomorrow. In addition to the 2:09 trot, which has nine starters, the opening card Is composed of the 2:07 pace, with 10; the News 2-year-old trotting sweep stakes, in which the six crack baby trotters of the year will match speed, and the 2:17 pace with five contestants. Mack Forbes has won eight straight races. The Woodman has a string of seven victories. They are hailed as the two trotting sensations of 1917. While each has lost heats, neither has done so unless through a break. Both have shown sensational flights of speed, and horsemen are about equally divided as to their relative merits. This race is expected to be one of the biggest spec ulative events of the entire season.

SOX HAVE HARD n 0 IV Erratic Work for Week Puts Them in Bad Position. GIANTS ON ROAD TO FLAG Red Sox and Naps Exchange Places. Cincinnati Loses Scoring Power. Dodgers and Cubs Are in Fight for Fifth Place. NEW TORK, Aug. 21. Chicago in the American League is meeting diffi culties in holding on to first place, while New York in the National has brought to a close its victorious trip throughout the West. The White Sox, winning only one game out of six last week, saw their lead cut down to vir tually nothing. Today they gained slightly on Boston by defeating Cleve land. The Giants, by taking five out of six games, increased their lead still further, and, unless some of the first division teams show greatly improved form. Labor Day or shortly thereafter may see MoGraw's club with the 1917 National League pennant virtually as sured. In contrast to Chicago's poor work. Boston and Cleveland improved their play and gained on the leaders. Cleve land traded third place back and forth with Detroit early in the week, but by winning four out of five from New Tork gained a fair lead over the troub lesome Tigers. New York and Detroit fell back slightly through their poor work In their respective series against Cleve land and Boston.
