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.

DISPUTE Of PENALTY KICK

of rccri discission.
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.

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.

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
