tress. The blows which Munroe landed

great crowd present. Munroe did not en
ter the ring until ten minutes later. He

DISSOLVE THE LEAGUE.
Directors Recommend Action to Col
lege Athletes of Oregon.
MONMOUTH, Feb. 27. (Special.) The
College Athletic League of Oregon met at
the State Normal yesterday evening. R.
J. Johnson, of Albany; Floyd Patty, of
McMlnville; J. D. Mc Quire, of Newberg,
and "William Metzger being present. It
was decided to recommend to the schools
interested that the league be dissolved. A
vote will be taken soon by the different
student organizations to determine the
question. No award was made affecting
the basket-ball pennant and March 9 was
the time set for Newberg and the State
Normal to play the final game. In case
either fails to play the pennant Is to go
to the other.
Since neither McMlnmille nor Albany
would concede any points In the football
contest, it was decided not to award any
pennant- The annual field meet which has
been held annually at MoMinnvllle, will
not be held this year. From the attitude
of the various representatives It looks as
though concerted control of athletics
would be relegated to the past, each
school making its own games and regu
lations.
WILL PLAY BIG COLLEGES.
Spokane Athletic Club to Organize
Amateur Baseball Team.
SPOKANE. "Wash.. Feb. 27. Tale,
Stanford and Berkeley are scheduled to
send their baseball teams here this Sum
mer to meet the S. A. A. C. The

gaged during the season of 1900, when
the club won the amateur championship
of the Northwest.

cal Team at Basket-Bail.
ALBANY. Or.. Feb. 27. (Speclal.)-The
two basket-hall tams of Albany College
added two scalps to their belts last even
ing. The girls defeated their Lebanon
rivals by a score of S to 0. This is the
third time the plucky Albany lassies have
administered a defeat to the girls from
Lebanon.
The college boys defeated a team of all
stars from town by a score4 of 6 to 4, in a
very exciting game. These are the last
basket ball games of the season for Al
bany.
Monmouth Out of Luck.
Monmouth's basket-ball team is out of
luck in Portland. Multnomah defeated
It last night by a score of 12 to 7. At
the end of the first half the score stood
6 to 5 in favor of Multnomah, but it was
a close game and the outcome was de
cidedly dubious. Multnomah took to
throwing baskets quickly in the second
half and It was all off with the Normal
School players.
It was a cleaner game than that olayed
the night before between the T. M. C A.
and Monmouth. O. M. Babbitt and
"Walter Holman, of the Y. M. C. officiated
and there was no Interfering with their
decisions as In the previous game.

lem. The All-Stars have not been quite so
successful this .season as formerly, and
they hope to retrieve their standing on

they look forward to the five hard games
without misgivings.
The positions on the team will be filled
by the following players: Forwards,
Mackle and Thornton; center. Freeman;
guards, Lowengart and Connell; substi
tute. Livingston.
No State League Team In Oregon City
OREGON CITY. Or.. Feb. 27. (Special.)
Oregon City will In all probability not be
represented In the Oregon State Baseball
League. The plan to organize a team In
this city and enter the State League has
been practically abandoned. It has
been years since baseball at Oregon City
has been a success from a financial point
of view and the fact that nobody is de
sirous of assuming the responsibility may
be the cause of the failure to organize a
local state league team this year.
Salt Lake Ball Club Elects.
SALT LAKE, Feb. 27. The stockhold
ers of the Salt Lake Baseball Club today
elected a new board of directors, re
elected Samuel New house as president,

WILL HOLD CASTRO
Ely Refuses to Abide by De
cision of League.
SAYS PLAYER HAS HIS MONEY
Portland Manager Rebels Against
Agreement Made by President Bert,
and Morley Also Protests-Bert
Answers Them.
SAN FRANCISCO, CaL, Feb. 27. (Spe
cial.) Manager Fred Ely, of the Portland
team, dropped into San Francisco late last
night. Discussing the baseball mlxup. and
the programme by which he is to drop
Castro for an Eastern league, he said:
"Castro is on his way to Bakersfleld. and
he is going to work there. He has got my
money and I intend to get some benefit
from It- I certainly am not going to
lose it.
"Last month I got a letter from Harris
advising me to sign my team before Feb
ruary 1, as he said he thought we would
come to some sort of agreement with the
other leagues by then. He wrote me that
all players we came to terms with by
February 1 we would be able to hold.
After getting this letter I hustled and got
my team signed, and -Castro was among
them. I sent him advance money, and
now, after he starts for California, Presi
dent Bert tells me I cannot play him.
"I will play him or I will know the
reason why," said Ely, his eyes snapping
anger. "I am just as much entitled to
him as Ewlng is to Sshmidt, who. I un
derstand, was in dispute. I don t see Ew
lng or Harris or Cohen losing a man. I
dpn't know anything about the Justice or
Injustice of Mdrley's case, but I do know
that I am right. As to Swigert voting
for Portland, he was director under the
old management, but you must understand
that the club has changed hands since he
was elected. I bought a controlling inter
est recently, and ought to do the voting
when there is any to be done."
Manager Ely mentioned that all his
players would be at Bakersfleld by Mon
day, with the exception of his second
baseman. Beck, who is sick at home, bot
who will start as soon as he is able to
travel.
President Bert has replied as follows to
the Los Angeles management:
"You are under a misapprehension. 1
did not award any players. The league
voted by wire, 5 to 1, against the three
men named. Ely has no vote. Swigert
voted aye for Portland. There were 13
men in" dispute. The league retains 15.
loses three. The league at Its annual
meeting gave the president authority to
take a mall or telegraphic vote on any
question at any time. You lose one man.
but retain four others in' dispute. Give
us credit for fighting to protect your in
terests. These are league matters and
must be realt with by the league. Bo
broad-gauged. Thing of the incalculable
benefit to accrue to your organization In
the future."
MORLEY WILL HOLD DILLON.
Falling to Convince Bert, He Will Ap
peal to National Board.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 27. Manager
James Morley, of the Los Angeles base
ball team, left today for San Francisco
for a conference with President Bert, of
the Pacific Coast League, and others, over
the disagreement as to who is entitled to
the services of First Baseman Dillon.
Morley, who is supported by President
Ban Johnson, of the American League. In
his claims on Dillon, will endeavor to con
vince the officials of the Pacific Coast
League of the Justice of his contentions.
and, falling in this, says he will take the
matter before the National board for
final settlement.
World's Bowling Record Broken.
DENVER, Feb. 27. The world's record
for individual bowling has been broken
by Homer Elliott, of this city. In the
state tournament, now on, he rolled 712,
The previous record was made in Indian
apolis about a year ago, when 676 was
scored.
MOVING BACK FROM RIVER.
New Manufacturing, District Forming
on East Side.
A manufacturing district is to be formed
out of the territory bounded by Haw
thorne avenue and East Sixth and Tenth
streets and extending northward several
blocks. This district is the property of
the Hawthorne estate and includes the
baseball ground. Already the Oregon
Water Power & Railway Company has a
sidetrack from its Hawthorne avenue
line down East Eighth street for more
than a block. It is proposed to extend
this spur to Belmont street, thus provid
ing trackage for the Schmidt Planer Fac
tory and the Oregon Canning Company.
From this spur tracks will be extended
through the middle of the blocks to East
Sixth street, and also to East Tenth, leav
ing the cross streets unoccupied. This plan
will provide car tracks for each block in
the district. It will, of course, practi
cally take up East Eighth street entirely.
As the tracks of the Oregon , Water
Power & Kaiiway company are standard
guage. the plan will give the district con
nectlon with both the Southern Pacific
and O. R. & N. lines, and cars from these
railways can be switched to Haw
thorne avenue and on the spur on East
Eighth street. An attempt was made to
get a franchise for a spur from the South
ern Pacific on East Ninth street, but the
opposition of property-owners south of
Hawthorne avenue defeated it. The same
objections are not expected in this case as
only one street. East Eighth, will be occu
pled, while th sidetracks will pass through
the blocks, the same as is done at the
lumber yard of the Boring Junction Lum
ber Company.
The Sellwood Lumber Company has
leased the corner block on East Sixth
street and Hawthorne avenue and the
Boring Junction Lumber Company already
has one of the blocks. Two other blocks
also have been leased. Occupants of the
houses on Hawthorne, avenue between
East Seventh and Eighth streets have been
notified to move, which means that the
work of making a business district of
the blocks northward to East Yamhill
street is soon to be started.
This will be the first movement to get
back from the low ground between Union
avenue and the Willamette River, and it
is thought will have a tendency to compel
the owners of the low grounds to fill
them up. The extension of the spur on
East,- Eighth street will solve the problem
of securing tracxage ior me wegon Can
ning Company and also for the Frank
Schmidt Planer Company.
STREET IS DANGEROUS.
New Barricades Erected on East
Washington to Prevent Accident.
The City Engineer has found It neces
sary to build more barricades on East
Washington street to prevent people from
taking their lives In their hands by tryinjr
to use the elevated roadway and side
walks. The new barricades, of solid board
fences, are placed 60 feet from Union ave
nue and at East Third street. It was
found that the sidewalks . and roadway
.here were dangerous and liable to col-
lapse. Forty feet of sidewalk was pushed
over without any effort.
The entire roadway to East water street
will be barricaded at the Intersections In
the same way. Deputy Boardman re
marked that it was amazing the risks
people will take In order to travel on dan
gerous roadways. He says that after he
had built the first two high barricades
two men crawled underneath It and tried
to walk alone the water main.
Nearly all the elevated roadways and
sidewalks on East Washington street, be
tween Union avenue and East Water
street, arc in a dangerous condition and
liable to fall into the slough of their own
weight. There Is no certainty that the
barricades will keep people out of ih&t
street, and ladders may be used to scale
the barricades.
TAIL OF THE TORNADO.
Tears Up Fruit Trees and Fences on
Columbia Slough.
A heavy wind was experienced along the
Columbia Slough west of Fairview Friday
forenoon near No. 3 schoolbouse, accord
ing to reports brought in yesterday by
milk men. The wind was probably part of
the tornado which wrought such destruc
tion In Center Addition to Mount Tabor.
On Columbia Slough many fruit trees
were blown down. W. F. Powell's or
chard suffered severely and much of his
fencing was carried several hundred
yards. A building on the Union Meat Com
pany's farm near Troutdale was blown
down.
Mallcarrier Bchram from Fairview was
out In his mall wagon, and the wagon was
nearly upset by the force of the wind. He
Jumped out to steady the vehicle, but the
storm passed on leaving him safe.
Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Cooley, an aged
couple living In a small cottage on tho
Wlberg lane, a short distance north of the
Base Line road, had a narrow escape dur
ing the tornado. In the yard, about 50 feet
from the house, was a tall fir tree, which
had withstood the storms of a century
or more. The gale twisted the top of the
tree on and dropped the trunk down on
the corner of the cottage. Some of the
shingles were torn off. Mr. Cooley. who
had started for Portland, turned back on
account of the hall, and the broken sec
tion of the tree fell within a few feet of
where he was standing, and he was struck
by some of the limbs. Had the tree fallen
on the house It would have crushed the
structure.
FENDER DIDN'T SAVE HIM.
Williams-Avenue School Dog, Jack,
Run Over by Street-Car.
Poor old Jack Is dead. He had been
the Williams-avenue school watchdog
for the past ten years, and is greatly
mourned by every one of the 700 pupils
of that building. Jack has come to school
with the Janitor regularly for the past ten
years, and on last Friday he started as
usual, but at the intersection of Russell
street and Rodney avenue while cross
ing the street he was caught under the
wheels of a car of the Portland Railway
Company, and his hind legs were broken.
He had to be shot to put him out of his
misery.
The animal was known to everybody in
the neighborhood, and no poundmaster
would ever take him when told he was the
llllams-avenue watchdog. The motor
man dropped the fender in front of his
car when he saw that the dog would not
be able to get out of the way, but it
passed over his body.
Old Soldier's Funeral.
The funeral of Charles E. Wlnchell. an
old soldier, was; held Friday from his late
home. 1229 Eas Taylor street, and the In
terment was in Lone Fir Cemeterjv He
was 66 years eld, and had been a member
of Company F, Third Iowa Regiment.
Many members; of G. A. R. posts attended
me services.
H.EET "WILL "NOT VENTURE OUT
Russians Will Stay Under Cover of
Guns at Port Arthur. ,
ST. PETERSBITRG, Feb. 27. Two thou
sand cars from the Russian European sys
tem especially fitted for the transporta
tion of troops are being sent to tne Si
berian lines.
M; Alexandrovsky, who Is to take charge
of the Red Cross field work in the Far
East left for the front today.
The Novoe Vremya says the Slav pro
Russian demonstrations indicato the wil
lingness of the Slavs to come under the
Russian standard, adding:
"Their hesitation would finally be over
come If Russia would be less uncompro
mising on the questions of orthodoxy and
autocracy, as the Slavs enjoy constitu
tional government and in many cases do
not belong to the Greek Church."
The Novoe Vremya hopes the pan-Slav-lst
Union will settle the Near East ques
tion once for all in favor of Russia's as
pirations. Prince Arsene Karageorgevitch, brother
of the King of Servia, has been gazetted
a CaDtaln of the trans-Baikal Cossacks.
The desperate manner in whfch the Jap
anese are returning to the attack In Port
Arthur in spite of their repeated repulses
has convinced the military authorities
that their main objective for the present
Is hopelessly to cripple the Russian fleet
In order to secure absolute freedom in the
disembarkation of troops. For this rea
son the Russian commander is carefully
guarding against exposing his ships, keep
ing them in the harbor, under the guns of
the fortifications.
A doubt exists as to whether the Jap
anese really design to land near Port Ar
thur and Invest the city. The authorities
admit they are considerably mystified
but the prevailing opinion seems to be
that the Japanese will not hazard a land
ing at this stage of the campaign. It is
pointed out that owing to the conforma
tion of the shores the only suitable land
ing places near Port Arthur are well
within range of the batteries, and If a
landing Is attempted on the northern
part of the peninsula, the Japanese trans
ports will be unable to come to land, and
on account of the shelving of the shore
the troops would have to march miles
through mud and low water, exposed to a
galling off-shore fire.
No news Is being received here concern
Ing the operations around Vladivostok,
whence, under the Viceroy's orders, tele
grams are forbidden, except from offl
cers to their families, and then only with
the approval of the military censor.
The exact whereabouts of the Russian
Vladivostok squadron Is not known, but
it la presumed to be In the harbor.
Up to the time of the filing this dispatch
nothing has been obtainable concerning
the reported Japanese landing at Posslet
Bay, near Vladivostok.
Attempt to Violate Neutrality Laws.
CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 27. An investi
gation Is In progress by Government offi
cials Into what appears to be a decided
attempt to violate the neutrality laws
The inquiry Is prompted by the receipt by
all the subordinate officers of the Ohio
National Guard of a letter promising pro
motion and big pay to all who will Join a
military expedition about to be organized.
Only vague information is given of the
purpose of the expedition, and the officers
are requested to inquire further of William
Wayne, Norrlstown, Pa. The letters are
dated New York and mailed at different
places.
White House Stables Are Unhealthy.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2i. A number of
the President's horses have practically
been ruined hy being kept in the old
stables which are damp and unhealthy.
This Is the reason given by Secretary Taf t

for new stables for the wmte .House.

AVOIDED THE RUSSIANS.
Japanese Steamer Left Beaten Track
on Run Across the Pacific.
It Is reported that the Nippon Yusen
Kalsha liner Iyo Mara, which has just
reached Victoria from Yokohama, took a
route across the Pacific much to the south
of the great circle run usually taken by
vessels coming to this Coast from the Ori
ent. The reason for this departure from
the beaten track is said to be that the
Japanese Admiralty ordered the vessel to
cross Irregularly that she might be less
liable to seizure by Russian cruisers,
should any such be on tho lookout for her.
Captain Curnow, when asked concerning
the course he took, refused to say any
thing about the matter. It Is generally
understood that this Is the Iyo Maru's
last trip to this Coast, and that upon
her return she will be commandeered by
the Japanese government for service as a
transport. It Ik not thought that any
other vessels of the Nippon Yusen Kalsha
fleet will operate to this Coast as kng as
the war between Japan and Russia lasts.
REPAIRS AT PORTLAND.
Dredge Chinook Coming Here Instead
of to San Francisco.
ASTORIA, Feb. 27. Special.) It Is un
derstood that the bar dredge Chinook will
not go to San Francisco for repairs to her
boilers, but that the work will be done
at Portland. Recently Inspectors visited
the vessel, and It Is 'reported that they
recommended immediate repairs. If the
Chinook should be sent to San Francisco,
considerable time would be lost, and that
at a time when the weather would be
favorable for dredging on the bar. Noth
ing official has yet developed, but the re
port Is undoubtedly correct that the work
will be done at Portland. Indeed, It is
understood that preparations are now un
der way for the trip up the river. The
boilers are in need of repair, and the work
will be done now, while heavy weather
prevails.

apprehension is now expressed for her
safety. She left San Francisco on February
10, arriving ofT the Columbia a week later,
but was unable to get in. One of the bar
tugs picked her up, but was compelled to
drop her. This occurred two weeks ago,
and since then the vessel has not been
sighted. Doubtless the southwest gales
have driven her far to the north, and she
19 finding it difficult to get back to the
mouth of the river.
The fact that she has not been sighted
Is causing some anxiety In shipping cir
cles, especially as she has been off the
coast during the prevalence of the recent
severe storms.

conditions. "Women, innocent women, are the main sufferers and a
great number of the diseases peculiar to the sex can be laid at the
door of thoughtless husbands.
"We cannot talk to you plain enough in the columns of the Press,
because of a FALSE modesty which is so prevalent, but if you have
your own, or some innocent woman's happiness at heart, you should
KNOW that you are in perfect health. And if you will call on us,
we will gladly make many things clear to you that will be the means
of making you happy for life.
"With twenty years of experience in treating the complicated and
chronic disorders of MEN only, we feel that we are better prepared
to treat these troubles than the average doctor, who treats every
thing, and we invite all interested to call, or write, and we will give
you a free examination, and tell you just what you should do to get
well. Our best guarantee is that we do not ask any money until you
are cured. "What more can we say? Ignorance is at the bottom of
much suffering, and we wish that we could repeat the maxim of BOB

VIGOROUS
MANHOOD
Is admired and almost revered by both
sexes. How many men ruin their
health and probably their future hap
piness by disease contracted when
sowing their wild oats. No man should
enter the marriage state unless he is
sound physically and mentally. How
often this well-known truth is violated
only to cause misery and shame to
