Duplicity. .
TROUBLE OVER CIRCUIT
Hoth Tucoiiiu and Spokane Threaten
to Sever Helutions AYith Seattle
- ItHsclmll Combine Reasons
for Dissatisfaction.
UV W. J. PETTI A1N.
Jn rpite of numerous denials Issued
from the snctum of Cupid" DuRdale,
t!i Taciflc Northwestern Li-ague is ex
periencing the greatest of difficulty iri
nrranKinjr . a circuit for 190S. That
Seattle will le represented in the
leapue is settled, but that Is about the
limit of definite decision reached by
the' fans of the northern territory out
side the city on Elliott Bay.
It Is quite possible that Vancouver,
B.-C, will hold one of the franchises,
for an "ansel" from Waterville, Wash.,
lias been prevailed upon by Daniel Kd
ward DuRdale and his chief lieutenant,
President Lucas, to engage in the
baseball industry on a greater scale
than It was conducted the little
Washington town. The reason for im
porting the Waterville man was that
he seemed the only person willing to
take a chance In the Canadian city,
which does not permit Sunday base
ball. This gives Dugdale and Lucas but
two towns wherein they re assured
of support In the organization of a
circuit. Tills statement is made ad
visedly, for information is at hand of
the most reliable nature to the effect
that tlie Northwestern League is go
ing -to have considerable difficulty in
lining up Tacoma and Spokane. With
out the former Aberdeen will be left
out, and without the latter Butte is
not to be considered.
This state of aftairs is said to have
been brought about through the mis
representations of Dugdalo and Lucas,
both of whom, it is said, have assured
the other North western magnates that
Portland would surely be In the cir
cuit during the coming season. It was
mainly for the purpose of lining up
McCredic that W. H. Lucas visited this
city a few weeks ago, but on his ar
rivaL he found the opposition so strong
that he departed without having seen
Judge McCredie personally.
' Find DuRdale a Fraud.
When it became known that all pos
s i I) 1 1 i 1 3- of Portland entering tlie fold
had vanished, the magnates whose
teams had lost money, Immediately be
came dlogusted and are now greatly
opposed to the Seattle fat man. They
are, at last beginning to realise that
Iiigisthe "grab-it-all kid," and so long
as1 hia team makes money is willing
that the othors should whistle over
any deficit they may encounter at the
season's end.
.ucorge ischreeder, president and
owner of the Tacoma club; Is quoted
as saying: "I'll turn my ball park over
to-the Tacoma amateurs sooner than
hook up with this outfit again."
Schreeder wants Pacific Coast League
baseball rating and all that goes with
a Class A league. It is claimed that
the Tacoma magnate's chief griev
ance Is that his .team drew splendidly
at home, but lost all this advantage
by reason of being compelled to play
towns like Aberdeen and Vancouver,
where tlie receipts were hardly large
enough to cover hotel bills.
Though Schreeder will not admit it,
it 1s said that the Tacoma Club lost
$2000 on account of games at Butte,
Vancouver and Aberdeen, whereas Dug
dale had the schedule framed so that
several series, were transferred from
Aberdeen and Vancouver to Seattle,
and thereby the "Fat Man" was con
siderably the gainer.
Seattle was the only club in the
league to make money, and in this may
readily be seen the cause for the dis
pleasure of the other magnates.
Tlie Vancouver men who backed that
team last year lost J4000. and as soon
as it was definitely known to them that
Portland would "not be In the league
in 190S, they hastened to get from
under and threw the franchise back
on the lea sue. I. e. Dugdale and Lucas,
and. the "league" immediately sought
an "angel," which they found in the
person of the Waterville man.
Aberdeen May Ivose Out.
'' Aberdeen lost $3000 during tile sea
son, and this loss would probably have
been greater had not several series
been transferred to Seattle. In spite
of this the Aberdeen ball magnates
are desirous of being represented again
this season. If Tacoma draws out,
their chances will e rendered exceed
ingly small.
Spokane has always entertained a
desire to be In the Pacific Coast
League, for the fans of that enterpris
ing city readily realize tlie prestige it
would give their city to be affiliated
with a class A league and lined up .ith
the largest cities on the Pacific Coast.
Another thing that Is worrying the
Dugdale-Lucas faction is the stand
taken by Bellingham. This rapinly
growing city is much desired by the
Northwestern magnates for,, the pur
pose of switching Sunday games there
lrom Vancouver, but Bellingham re
fuses to be represented and recently
declined to entertain any proposition
wUatever from the Seattle "Fat Man."
PelHtiKham applied for a franchise once
upon a time, and instead of being wel
comed by the pugdale-Lucns. combine,
the application was rejected and Van
couver or Aberdeen substituted.
Mellingiiam thinks Itself thougTi
these are opinions to the contrary to
be as good a baseball town as either
of .the places shown preference, and
liffefore its fans are avowed enemies
of'tiuR and Willie.
Diisdale has grown rich from baseball.
He has hogged the franchise of tlie prin
cipal town in the Northwestern League.-
Seattle Is a splendid baseball town, and
so long as Dug continues to gather In the
shekels, he cares not how the other
towns come out. That is one of the rea
sons Seattle has never won a pennant.
Iug is not out after pennants. He wants
th coin and In the past ho has succeeded
lii getting it.
Wants Xo Pennant.
f -
.."What's the use of spending good
moliev on ball players in order to win a
. pennant?" says Dug. "Tlie fans forget
allabout it the next year, and whether
you win or not they'll come out and
cough up their money lust the same.
I am in this game for the money, and
don't you forget it.
And he gets it. while the Seattle fans
tumble over themselves in order to hand
him their quarters and halves, and go
awav acclaiming the efforts of Dugdale
no- matter how rotten his players have
conducted themselves.
The situation in the Northwestern
League can be summed up as follows:
Schreeder, wiAi his Tacoma baseball
park located conveniently, has at last
come to a realization that he dan set
himself up as a dictator. Without Ta
coma the league is robbed of strong sup
port; one that is essential to its success,
if success it can be called. The Tacoma
magnate has become tired of spending
his own money and barely breaking even
on the season, while but a few miles
away be sees the Seattle cherub expend
ing hardly any money and waxing rich.
Schreeder's stand, if he goes to the front
as he threatens, will be backed by Spo
kane, and with these two mainstays of
the league disgruntled, Dugdale amf
Lucas will have to" come to their milk.
If they are forced into recognizing the
demands of tljese towns, it is safe to bet
that a Pacific Coast League, with Seattle,
Tacoma. Spokane and Portland in the
North, and four California towns will be
the circuit in the near future.
BUYS JIORSK WITH A XICKEL
Jockey Martin Proud Owner of the
Cheapest Racer Ever Sold.
"Willie" Martin, one of the best
jockeys in the country 15 years ago. is
now the proud owner of the cheapest
racehorse ever sold Matabon. After
a few minutes of "dickering," he
bought Matabon, a gelding by Lamp
lighter, for 5 cents. Heretofore the
record was held by Belmere, a stake
winner two years ago. This horse had
finished third to Ormondale in the fu
turity of 1905. but Burlaw & O'Neill
sold him for $1 during the holidays. .
1 he record transaction took -place at
New Orleans recently. Martin was
standing with a group of horsemen
talking about the prospects of the race
meeting which is to be held at Tampa,
Fla. During the conversation he an
nounced his intention of attending the
meeting, and said that he thought that
he would be able to make out all right
if he only had a horse.
"Pat" Civill, who is selling some of
his horses, was in the group, and when
he heard Martin announce that he
wished he had a horsey Civill said:
"I will Fell you Matabon."
Martin then explained to Civill that
at present he was driving to the limit
without trying to buy any racers.
Civill. however, was determined to get
rid or Matabon, and told Martin that
he could have the gelding for what
money he happened to have in ' his
clothes.
Martin considered it all a joke, but
when Civill repeated his offer he ac
cepted it, and after a careful search he
found that he had one lonely nickel.
"I have only 5 cents." said Martin.
and that is not-enough to buy the
handle of a curry-comb." Civill
grabbed the nickel and declared:
"Matabon is yours. You can ; take
him whenever you are ready. And say,"
he added, "I'll throw in the halter."
REMARKABLE WINTER TOU
FAMILY JOURNEYS FROM MAS
SACHUSETTS TO FLORIDA.
Ijeft Xew England In November and
Has Just Arrived at
Jacksonville.
A big touring car glided up to a garage
In Jacksonville, Fla., a few days ago, and
four dust-begrimed and tired passengers
alighted. The car was the property of
John A. Miller, of Middleborough, Mass.
Accompanied by his wife and two sons,
he left his home In the far away New
England State, November 7. headed south
ward for a journey to Ormond. Fla. When
the car came to a halt in front of the
garage It had successfully completed
one of the longest trips that
have yet been made In this
country by automobiles. Leaving Mid
dleborough on the morning of November
i. the party went to Worcester, thence to
New Haven and down the sound to New
York, where several days were spent. The
car was then headed for Philadelphia:
from Philadelphia to Baltimore and
Washington. After a stay of several
days in the Capital city they headed their
machine for the Blue Ridge Mountains,
and crossed at Snicker's Gap. Down into
the beauUful Shenandoah Valley they
sped, after a hazardous climb of a steep
grade two miles long.
Then the car struck the old Virginia
pike, and the gravel on the pike was so
injurious to the tires that a pair of them
were worn ont. However, being pre
pared with several extra tires, the new
ones were, placed, and the journey was
continued. Staunton was next reached
and then Roanoke and Lynchburg, in the
order named. The picturesque Natural
Bridge was crossed in reaching Danville,
and, after leaving that city, the machine
was headed for Charlotte, N. C, where a
delightful stay of four weeks was made.
The car was then turned toward the
direction of Atlanta and that city was
reached after a pleasant ride. From
Atlanta they went to Macon. They re
port the road between these two cities as
being extremely rough and out of re
pair, causing much annoyance and delay.
From the central city of Georgia they
went to Waycross in remarkable fast
time.
The worst experience of the Millers
journey was yet to take place, for hardly
had they attempted to cross the edge of
the big Okefinokee swamp before the car
was buried to its floor in mud and slimy
water. They had to remain in this plight
for several hours before assistance came
and the car finally was pulled out on to
dry land only after the two .sons had
discarded clothing and had pulled and
tugged for dear life for an hour or more.
"It was the worst experience we had
on the. entire trip." said Mr. J. Alden
Miller, . "and although it was quite a novel
one I would regret to have to pass
through a similar experience again. Why,
my brother and myself looked more like
negroes 'than white people when we
emerged from that mud and there was no
getting the sticky soil off unless you
scraped it off. However. I don't want
to parade out worst experience, so will
say that the most exquisite sight I ever
beheld was when we crossed over the
Blue Ridge Mountains Into the Shenan
doah Valley in Virginia. Over on one
side we left a furious storm, wind, rain
and the thunderous peals of. a highly
charged electrical atmosphere; as we
emerged from the tops of those mountains
into the Shenandoah we found ourselves
ensconced In a glorious sunshine, with
nature at its best. It was a great ex
perience and we all thoroughly en
joyed it." "
The Miller family will remain in Jack
sonville for several days, after which they
will proceed in the car to Ormond, their
destination. They have traveled thus
far 2500 miles.
Nine Months for Gun Play.

An additional sentence of three months'
imprisonment was imposed on the banker
for carrying a concealed weapon. Rag
land's attorneys gave notice of an appeal.

ENGLISH BULLDOG
GROWS- IN FAVOR
Wealthy New York Exhibitors
Raising High-Class Canines
for -the Coming Show.:
ENGLAND IS OUTSTRIPPED
Breeding Develops Di&tiuct Type,
Animals Reins Thick-Set, Low
Su ling, Short-Faced and
Very Smooth-Coated.
There is probably no breed of dogs
that has made more progress in Amer
lea than the English bulldog; the prime
reason for this has been the work of
the Bulldog Club of America, says the
New York World. Great credit must be
given .the gentlemen who compose this
club, as the following objects of the
club mean a lot to the dogs.
Its objects are: To encourage the
propogation of thoroughbred bulldogs,
especially in the United States: to pro.
rhulgate a "standard" to secure uni
formity of type for excellence In the
breed and for guidance of breeders and
bench show judges; to stimulate inter
est in public exhibitions and to safe
guard the interests of breeders and ex
hibitors of bulldogs, and to further the
just claim of the bulldog to greater
public favor.
The members of the club have lived
tip to these resolutions to such a degree
that our American bred dogs compare
very favorably with the Imported ones.
The standard for the old English bull
dog as adopted by the club is a good
one. .
The perfect bulldog must be of me
dium size and smooth coat, with heavy,
thick-set, low-swung body, massive,
short-faced head, wide shoulders and
sturdy limbs. .
The general appearance and attitude
should suggest great stability, vigor
and strength. The disposition should be
equable and kind. Tesolute, and cour
ageous (not vicious or aggressive), and
the demeanor should be pacific-and dig.
nified.
These attributes should be evidenced
by the expression and behavior. An
entirely wronsr impression has been
created regarding the disposition of
the bulldog. It is not a vicious animal,
and never was. It is one of the most
affectionate companions there is in dog
dom. Some of the Members.
The following are members and offi
cers of the club, with, some of their
dogs:
The president is Richard Croker, Jr.,
whose kennels at Port Chester, N Y.,
contain some of tlie best of the Ameri
can product that has yet been shown.
At the bead of the kennel is Persim
mons. The dog has proven to be a
great sire. It Is now 12 years old but
is still active.
In the last three years Mr. Croker
has shown two brindles, Broadway and
Black Maria, and two brindles and
whites. Buccaneer and Banshee. These
four dogs are about the best quad that
has yet been produced In America,
Each season Mr. Croker brings out a
few "crackerjacks." This year his
youngsters promise to add even greater
honor to the kenns.
The vice-president is John W. Ma.

Lajoie Blames Spit Ball for
the Low Batting Averages
WHILE there is much talk ihls
Winter to the effect that several
of the National and American
League pitchers intend to cut the spit
ball out of their repertoire. Ntpoleon
Lajoie comes to the front and claims
that to the spitter Is due the falling
off the batting, particularly in regard"
to long hits.
Larry was asked recently why he did
not make as many home runs as torr
merly!
"I guess the spit ball and the foul
strike rule are to blame," he answered.
"Nowadays you have to pay more at
tention to hitting the ball and placing
it in fair territory than to putting all
your weight into the swing. If you
swing your head off on a 'spit' ball, you
would look mighty cheap. Then, again,
you have got to try to keep from hit
ting the ball foul. Foul strikes hurt,
you know. Those may not be the rea
sons, but that Is how I figure it out.
It may be. however, that the pitchers
are getting better and the outfielders
play deeper." .'
Larry never hit the ball any harder
than he did In 1901, -when he made
48 doubles, 13 triples and 13 home runs.
In 1893 he achieved another great
record that of making 40 doubles, 43
triples and seven home runs He
had 50 two-sackers to his credit in
1904, but fell way off in triples ana
homers, making 14 of the former and
but five of the latter.

He was out of the game a large por

Bill Bradley, of Cleveland, was also
celebrated as a home hitter a few years
ago. He has the credit for batting the
longest hit ever made at American
League Park. In 1902. during the Napo
leons' first series in Philadelphia, he made
four homers in four days. Bradley made
11 all told that.season and six each In the
next two seasons. Then he began -to
lose the four-sacker habit, and In the last
three years he has made but two, both
of them being hit in 1908.
He also used to make many a two-bagger,
his record being 28 in 1901, 39 in 1902,
35 in 1903, 31 in 1904 and 34 in 1906. bill
knows why it is that he doesn't make
so many doubles. The outfielders wateh
him more, closely and get- the ball to sec
ond in a hurry whenever Bill hits it out.
"They tail me that I use more of .an
arm motion in batting than I used, to,"
said Bradley recently. "A few. years ago
I was in the habit of putting ail my
weight and swinging my shoulders with
all my might when I met the ball. The
boys say that I have changed my style
now. Why? I don't know. . I did not
know that I had changed until -they
called my attention to it."

Old New Haven Stars Will
Help Forbes Coach Oregon.
VARSITY LOSES ARNSPIGER
Crack Tackle Ineligible Under the i
Four-Year Ruling Adopted at the j
Whitman Conference , High I
Schools Promise Good Men.
' L'NIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or.. Feb. 15. (Special.) Students of the
university and local admirers of the Ore
gon team are highly pleased over the
selection of Robert W. Forbes, the great
Yale end, as head coach for next season.
With the possible exception of Dick
Smith, the newly elected coach comes to
the Northwest with a greater football
record than any other man who has
taught the game in this section. It is
known for a certainty that Forbes was
considered seriously as head coach at
New Haven last season, but that he could
not afford to accept the position. Yale
pays nothing more than expenses to her
coaches, so the positions usually go to
young men of more than ordinary means
who can spare time for the work.
Members of tfie Oregon team and other
Members of the Oregon team and others
who met Forbes when he was in Eugene
a few weeks ago were very favorably Im
pressed with him and bis selection meets
with general- approval.
Oregon men who have made a study of
Eastern football conditions have conclud
ed that Yale's system is superior to the
style of play in vogue at other Eastern
coileges and there is a strong likelihood
that Oregon will hereafter look to Yale
for her coaches. .
A number of former New Haven star ;
who reside in the Northwest and in Cali
fornia have volunteered to assist Forbes
during tlie last few weeks of the season.
Conspicuous' among these Is Foster H.
Rockwell. All-America quarterback for
two seasons and head coach of the Ells
during the year 1908. Yale men gen
erally will give Forbes material assist
ance during the season, for the Yale sys
tem will be on trial against the football
systems taught by other Northwest
coaches.
It is certain that the athletic council
will select an assistant coach from the
ranks of the alumni. The names of sev
eral former' gridiron stars have been
mentioned for 'this position.
Although eight months will intervene
.before tlie opening of the football sea
son, Oregon's schedule is practically ar
ranged. There will be a number of
early-season campus games, including a
match with Whit worth College, of Ta
coma. Oregon will meet Idaho, at Mos
cow, on October 31, and Washington, in
Eugene, two weeks later. Tlie college
season will close with the Oregon-O. A.
C. game, in Portland, on November 21.
The big game with the Multnomah Club
will be played on Thanksgiving day.
For the first time since the year 1900.
Oregon will put a freshman team in the
field. Games .will be arranged with a
number of the high school elevens and
'possibly with the O. A. C. freshmen.
Olen Arnsplger, '09, the all-Northwest
tackle of last season, will not be eligi
ble to membership on this year's team.
The recent Walla Walla ' conference
adopted the four-year rule and made it
retroactive. Arnapeiger, who' has already
played four years, will not be permitted
to compete In the conference games. The
loss of Arnspiger will be a serious one
to the varsity, but the general results of
the Walla Walla conference are highly
sailsfactory to Oregon students ind there
is no disposition to complain because of
temporary hardships.
Besides Arnspiger, Oregon will lose ex
Captain Moores, Quarterback Kuyken
dall and possibly Halfback Zacharias.
Aside from Arnspiger, no members of the
team will be Ineligible because of the
four-year rule.
Many football men from the different
Oregon high schools will enter the Uni
versity in ' September and a number of
the second team men of last season will
make a lively bid for places on the var
sity. DIAMOND SLAXG TVZZLES GIX

Weakness Its Cause and Cure
Over twenty-flve yeare ago I discovered that WEAKNESS in men waa due
to prostatic or pelvic Inflammation. I also discovered that there was no treat
ment known to medical Dractltloners that would permanently cure this dlsenee.
I set-to work thereupon to formulate a treatment that would be effective. Mr
present Direct-Method treatment waa the result of my efforts. During all
these years this method has never failed to cure any caae that I accented for
treatment.
By this I do not mean to 'say that there are no incurable casea. I DO
.mean to eay, however, that no disease peculiar to men Is. Incurable, except In
the last extremity of It. It la not the DISEASE that Is Incurable, but the CON
DITION to which the disease lias advanced. I have demonstrated In hun
dreds of cum that had been pronounced Incurable by other doctors and spe
cialists that my Special Treatment would perform a complete cure.
Men,
The incurable cases that come under my observation have been those of men
who have neglected to' seek treatment in time, or have tried to cure them
selves with electric belts, patent nostrums. ' a drug store treatment, or some
other worthless means. Such treatments are far worse than none at all. They
nearly Invariably produce complication that are as hard to cure as the original
disease. Sometimes they appear to benefit for a time, hut as sure as Fata
their after effects will prove harmful many times fatal. BEWARE OF THEM.
They cannot cure you., no matter how eloquently they are advertised. Seek my
scientific and sure Direct-Method Treatment, that will not fail to cure you. Do
not delay until your caae has advanced Into the Incurable state.
I Offer You Certain Cure
Don't fall to see me. therefore, even though you have been told that you wera
beyond medical aid. By other methods your case would doubtless be hope
less. By my treatment, however, you would probably be comparatively easy
to cure. That la the difference between my treatment and other methods. My
reputation and the Invaluable and Important discoveries I have made In med
ical practice have placed me In the front rank In the medical Held In Western
America. .

Why My Treatment Cures
There are several reasons why my treatment never falls to cure TVeakne-s in
men. The method I use is direct and positive; the medicine being applied
locally. Its effects, so administered, are almost Immediate, since It l at once
absorbed by the tissues, which are thus stimulated to healthy action, throwing
off the poisoned secretions, overcoming inflammation and congestion and clearing
the blood vessels and canlllarles so that they can supply nutrition to the affect
ed region. .
Weakness is usually due to early dissipation, but often la the result of
an improperly treated contracted disorder. Occasionally It Is caused by a strain;
or it may have Ha origin in some Inherent defect or abnormal condition. What
ever its origin. Us consequences are just as direful and sure. Do not delay Its
treatment if you value your health and happiness. If neglected. It will certainly
destroy you.
