MULTNOMAH WINS BY CLOSE fli Catholic Club Proves Worthy: Foe for Athletic Club in Fast Game. PLAN ANNUAL CONTESTS Score of 5 lo 0 Surprises and Pleases Backers of Winged "51," "Who Think Sew CInb May Become Favorite Rival. Th Multnomah Amalrur Athletic Club football eleven met and defeated the newly-organized team representing the Catholic Young Men's Club, of Albina, by the close score of 6 to 0. yesterday, and In so doing was forced to play hard and consistent football. The lone score made by the clubmen was the result of a series of well executed plays on the part of Plowden Stott and Bert Pilking- ton, which was followed by a run of 15 yards for a touchdown by Dow Walker. The weather conditions were far from be In Idf-al for football, the cold making It difficult for the players to warm up to their work. The icy field was Inimical to speedy play, but despite the handicap of atmospheric conditions, the boys per formed excellently, and the small crowd In attendance showed they appreciated the efforts by applauding liberally. The new club will prove a welcome ad dition to the local field, and already Multnomah Is negotiating- for an annual contest with its team. The Catholics sur prised every one by their gritty work. and really proved a foeman worthy of Multnomah's steel. The lighter players showed the benefit of good coaching, and while they did rot display any of the up-to-date football tricks or formations. they had enough class in straight foot ball to worry the winged "M" players for all of the first half, and a considerable portion of the second half, before a score was made. Final Struggle Wins. Multnomah's victory was accomplished only after the hardest kind of work, and even then it would have been doubtful had not Captain Stott got away for one of his advantageous runs, which was fol lowed by a material gain on the part of Pilkington. These two plays brought the ball to the Catholics' 1 j-yard line and after being held for one down, Dow Wal ker was given the ball on a delayed pass and succeeded In breaking through for the distance, scoring a touchdown. Cap tain Stott missed the goal, and a few minutes later the game ended, with the I nil In Multnomah's possession on Its 3r.-yard line. The game was full of features. Nearly every player on each eleven distinguished himself on one or more occasions, but the shining lights of the game were Dow Walker. IMlkington. Hal Reed and Cap tain Stott tor Multnomah, while Crowley. Captain Katch, Barr and Quinlan bore most of the honors awaj' for the lads from across the rler. Crowley, the little quarter back of the Catholic team, who weighs but :I4 pounds, proved a diminutive giant In the game. The little chap did all the kick ing f.ir the Catholics, and while he was excelled In distance, on two or three punts by Knudson, on the average he held his own with a margin to spare. His work in running buck punts also showed splendid football ability, and m'hlle he did not equal Captain Stott in this depart ment, he can be extended considerable credit for his performance without in fringing on the Multnomah man's claim to the honors In the least. Another player on the Catholic team who proved worthy of praise is Captain Eatch, one of the back tie Id men. This player, who has had no college experience, ranks with some of the bet ground-gain-trs ia the Northwest. He was one of the surest the lighter eleven possessed, and was an exceptionally strong player on defense. Hig Jerry Qulnlan, formerly of Notre Dame College, proved himself to be en titled to recognition as a linesman. He Played opposite Dow Walker, and while the Multnomah man got through for good gains at times. Qulnlan was a stumbling j block to his advance on enough occasions J to hold the score down. Visitors Show Good Form. Barr, at left tackle, and Patty and Zander at ends, were most active in getting down the field on punts. Fre quently they missed tackles on the elusive Stott. but this was mostly due to lack of predeeision in tackling which can only be gained through larger ex perience than hc hoys have had. In all events their work was highly cred itable for a newly formed team, and the Multnomah enthusiasts who wit nessed the work of the Catholics were highly pleased at the prospects of a competitor worthy of considera tion each year. Not since the days of the old Portland Athietip Club in the years 1S!4, "95 and '95 has there been so promising a club appear In the city for a contender to Multnomah. Bert" Pilkington. for Multnomah, played one of the most brilliant games of the season. He seemed to get into the game with more spirit than usual, but this might have been due to the frigid atmosphere which caused the clever Multnomah backlield man to work harder in order to shake oft the chill. At any rate "Pllk" was every where, and carnei the ball better than the other members of the team, with the exception of tott. Oswald. James, Alexander. Roy, Tully and Rader, regular members of the club, were not In the game owing to injuries or illness, and their places were filled by extra men. Harold Reed, the Tortland hoy who has shown so brilliantly In athletics at Stanford Uni versity, took n backfleld position for Multnomah, while fclaker took Rader'a place in the line. Reed played a tine game, but will need more practice In the college game.-tor he Is accustomed to the Rugby g.nmc as played at the California, insti'uttons. Hugh J. Hoyd, as referee, and Frank J. Lonergan as umpire officiated in the most capable manner. Another fea ture of the gjme was that time was taken out but twice for Injuries, and loih times towar-i the end of the sec ond half. Onco Crowley was Injured, and the other time Pilkington re quired assistance. The teams lined up as follows: M-iltnomah. Portion. C. T. V. C. pit'h ..... k R. .........

Captains of Opposing Teams AVill Reach Agreement Before Big Game on Christmas Day, A definite agreement among the re feree and the captains of the opposing teams, with regard to the Interpreta tion of the much-disputed penalty kick rule In association football, will be reached before the Multnomah and Cricketers' ' soccer teams , kick off in the big Christmas afternoon game on Multnomah Field. For two seasons local referees have been awarding penalty kicks for fouls of a mild character within the penalty area, their stand being in some cases that any transgression whatever within the penalty area called for a penalty kick. In others that any Intentional foul within that area necessitated giv ing a penalty. A penalty kick by, the better shots In Portland Is practically certain to result in a tally; in fact, no team In the league Is so weak tn shooting that It has not at least one player who can score twice out of three times from a penalty kick. Incidentally, a penalty kick consists In a free shot at goal 38 feet out from the goal at a point half way between the posts. It is the se verest punishment administered for a foul In any kind of football.

Dec. 19. (Special.) Pacific College basketball team defeated Dallas College last night by the close score of 25 to H. V i I i' i Mi 1 il W wnpTOWT:STF.EN LEAGUE CLUB vxi - ' CY YOUNG LOSES CATCHER FAMOUS OJJD BOSTOX BATTERY BROKEN UP. XjOV. Criger, Who Has Caught for Yonng In Pemiant-AVinning Games, Is Sold. When the Boston American league baseball team sold Lou Criger recently It broke up the Toung-Origer battery, which has been famous for the past half dozen years. There perhaps are better pitchers in the game today than Cy Young, and there are evidently better catchers than Criger, or he would not have been sold. It Is douhtful, though. If there has ever been a pitoher with so splendid a record as old Cy baa and one who Is better thought of by the fans. Throughout his eight years with the Boston American team he has been the mainstay of the team In the pitchers box, and during 1903 and 19W, when they won the pennant of the league, he was, more than any one else, responsible for their victory. During all this time Young has had unqualified praise from all sides for his splendid work, and by his quiet, gentlemanly attitude has won a lasting place among the fans who have watched him pitch. In nearly every one of the games Toung has pitched for the Boston team, Criger has been behind the bat and for years the Young-Criger combination has been known the country over for Its splendid work. Criger has had but a small amount of credit for the victories won by the Boston team when this battery was work ing, naturally the greater amount of praise going to the pitcher. No one knows better than old Cy. though, the help that Criger has been to him, and he expresses a doubt now of being able to keep up his winning record without the aid of his old-time catcher. A pair like this should never be separated after so manv years of playing together and es pecially If It fa the catcher Who has gone down in his work. Even though Criger has lost some of his cunning behind the bat, there is, perhaps, no other catcher i mo well qualified to catch Cy Young as - he and none who can give Cy the con fidence that he can. At the same time that Criger was sold, Jimmy Collins was given his release by Connie Mack, and thus ended the suc cessful career of another of the famous Boston champs. Collins was the leader of the two-time pennant-winning Bos tontans, and played third base as well as any one In the country then. He, next to Cy Young, was the best thought of player on the team and was almost an idol In the eyes of the Boston fans dur ing the period of his success. It only illustrates the rapidity of a baseball player's downfall when he once v.A; trt sliH. After Boston won the pennant for the last time In 1904 the team went steadily down the laaaer ana witn It went Jimmy Collins. The following year he not only could not make hie team win. but he was unable to play good ball himself. Another year on the team saw his release. The next year, with the re sponsibilities of management off hip mind, he played a fairly good game for the Athletics. Last year he deteriorated to such an extent that he was released. His baseball career from now on will probably be with minor leagues if he stays in the game. Young is still holding on at Boston and last year was their leading pitcher again. He declares his intention of quit ting the game before he becomes useless and will undoubtedly end his baseball career with Boston of his own accord when he thinks it is time. Cubs" in Hard Straits. 'According to a letter to a. Chicago friend, which Is made public in the Chicago Tribune, Frank L Chance, manager of the three-time winners, the Chicago vCubs." will not play base ball next season, but will devote his time and attention to the development of an orange grove near Los Angeles. If this letter is the truth. Chubby Charley Murphy, the "grasping" mag nate In control of the Chicago club, will be up against the real thing next year, for, in addition to Chance. Johnny Evers threatens to conBne his atten tion to the manufacture of shoes, and Johnny Kllng believes that his billiard parlors in Cincinnati are more proflt abel than baseball. It is also rumored that "Little" Ovie Overall desires a healthy raise In salary, and that Jack Pflester, the "Giant Killer," is of the same frame of mind. With all these calamities staring him In the face it would seem that the Chicago National League club owner would be put to it to round out some thing like a capable team during the coming race. The loss of Chance alone would be a sore handicap to the club which, under his guidance, has three times brought home the National League honors, and twice won the world's championship. The troubles of the baseball magnates are not always confined to the season, as the above i may indicate. CHANGES IF. Gib LiS : ADVOCATED Robert 0. Stevenson Suggests Better Means of Protect ing Wild Creatures. I WANTS JAIL SENTENCES Changes Jn Open Season and Bounty Payments Put Forth as Further Aids In Continuing Supply of Birds and Fish in State. State Game Warden Robert O. Steven- eon has written a letter which explains some much-needed legislation in the in terest of game protection, and which con tains a number of references and sugges tions that should prove interesting to good sportsmen. The letter is as follows: Within the past year 1 have visited many parts of the state for the purpose of studying the needs of game protection, and . have reached the conclusion, gen erally speaking, that the open season should be shorter and the hilling limit less. For instance, the open season for deer should begin August 16 and close October 15, with a limit of three doer in any one open season. Elk, mountain sheep and antelope I would give mo pro tection of a closed season for ten years; and in order to render the protection ef fective. I would make a violation of the law punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary. There are some mountain sheep in Wallowa County, ana some ante lope in Crook County, but unless ade quately protected these splendid speci mens of our wild game supply will soon pass entirely. "I believe the ivanonai oovernmem should set aside all forest reserves as a breeding-ground for elk and deer; and as a further assurance of protection towards these animals I should like very much to see the Federal Government undertake their protection, within the boundaries of the forest reserves. "I would recommend that the ouck season commence October 15 and run until March 1. and further nx the limn in any one week at 2o. At the present rate at which these birds are being slaughtered I can see but one outcome, and that Is their speedy extermination.

"The law against hunting with dogs Is in a very unsatisfactory condition, and X am anxious to see a good dog law en-actecU-one that will put a stop to the running of deer with dogs, and yet af ford stockmen the privilege of hunting wild animals that prey upon their flocks. "The use of power-boat as hunting craft should be prohibited on any waters of the state, and to nike the law ef fective I would hold the owners, or men in charge of the boats, responsible for any violation of the law while boats aro hired out or carrying passengers. Ask Bounty on ( Cougar. , "As a means of protecting the game of the state against extermination by their natural enemies. I believe a law should be enacted placing a bounty upon cougar, bob cats, coyotes and black and gray wolves, as they undoubtedly destroy more deer and young elk than do the hunters. 1 think an eauitabln adjustment of the burdens of a bounty law would he to pro vide for payment of one-half by the state and the other half by the county in which the animal may be killed. This would. I believe, effectually dispose of the objec tionable practice heretofore followed of Importing scalps from bordering states, for where the taxpayers of the county should be called upon to pay a part of the expense they would sea to It tnat tna Importation of scalps was not permitted. "I am convinced that fish should have more protection than a closed season for six months in ea.'li year. Streams that formerly were excellent fishing ground arc now almost fished out. and either there must be more adequate protection offered or else the practice of closlnc streams to fishermen entirely for period of years at a timo must he followed. There is no doubt, also, that dams in fishing streams should he so arrange.! that fish can get over them without dif ficulty. My observations convince me that a circular ladder Is the best device. "Within the past year the great ma jority of people, sportsmon mid other wise, have been quite observing of t,i" game laws; and yet there arc to ba foun 1 those who will not obey the law as Ions as thev can get off upon a violation Willi a mere fine. My experience, and that of mv predecessors In this respect, forces ras to' the conclusion that the only way to make the laws enacted for the protec tion of panic effective is to provide for a jail sentence along with a tin. "This mav seem drastic, but I want to sound a warning that at the present rate of game destruction at the hands of the natural enemies ot game and the hunters, the people of a few mom generations will know of. the magnificent game sup-, plv of Oregon from the standpoint of natural history alone. There now Is. and always will be, plenty of game In tti: state if it is properly protected.
