DISHONESTY ROOTED OUT BASEBALL- FSFAIXY SQCAKEST OF ALL sronTS. One Instance of Crooked Play, Way Back In 1877, Kerrea a Last ing Lesson to riaycrs. Honesty always was one of the chief characteristic of baseball, says an ex- -i - T-V. - .nrnarll nf fvO National f-USUV. - - League umpires by emissaries of gsm- blers In New lorn just oeiur me of the 10 season, when th Cub and the Giants played off to deciding game. 1 tne oniy mii;mi-"i honesty In recent years. That waa squelched by th umpire refusing to have anything to do with th gambler and by reporting me league, which mad public the details In the case. The greatest scandal In connection with baseball Is recorded as follows In A H. Spink' "Th National Game:" When the Louisville team left on It final trip through the East that season U877) they were looked upon as having the championship as good a won. By their playing they had hown themelve to be far th strongest team In thl league, and from that point to th end they could lose more than half their game and etlll win th pennant. Th Hartford at that time were play ing on th old Mutual club grounds In Brooklyn and thither the LouUvllle went first for six games. The Hertfords up to thl time had been mere "practice material" for the Lou Is -vllles. but on the day of the latter"s first game of the trip In Brooklyn the pool rooms In Hoboken laid heavily on th Hartford In the game for that after noon and th Louisville were badly beaten. The game had been lost by rror of Cravr, Hall and Nichols. On th day of th second game th Hoboken poolroom one mora laid heavy odds against the Loulsvllles. and again the Louisville lost through errors by Devlin. Hall and Nichols. This bad work continued, and when the Loulsvllles re turned they had won only two game out of 13 played. The reault wss that they lost the championship by a margin of tbre games. When the team returned to Loulsvlll they found that rumors of th dishonesty of certain of th players had preceded them Thereupon Devlin, the pitcher (and perhaps the greatest who ever handled a ball), called upon President Charle E. Chase to deny hi guilt. Chase made Devlin bcllve he had more knowled than he reallr had. and gav Devlin till o'clock that night to make a full confession. Hall saw Devlin go into Chase's office and leave It. Fearing Devlin might con fess. Hall went to Chase to feel his ground. Then Chase saw his opportu nity, snd by working one against the other Chase got a full confession from each. Devlin accused Hall of leading htm Into It, and Hall laid his downfall to Nichols. Nichols remained silent and took his punishment without a word. Hall. Nichols. Craver and Devlin were expelled and from that day none of the four blacklisted men have been able to play la a lngl professional game. Tillamook to Enjoy Basketball. MOUNT ANGEL COLLEGE.

SEASON'S SHOOT IS GOOD Bird Will No Longer Come Inland 104 Mile Vnles Attracted by Grain, Which Must Be Sup plied by Hunters. According to J. L. Green, Chief Deputy Game Warden for Oregon, sportsmen have had an exceptionally good year at shooting duck and waterfowl of the marshes. In some counties of the state th open season for ducks and waterfow closed December U and other It 1 still open. In regard to the season' ehoot Mr. Green has the following to relate: "With th exception of a few preserves upon which the woodchoppers have dis turbed the lakes, duck shooting this sea son on Columbia and Willamette loughs haa been much better than for tbe Uat three or four years. Bird have been plentiful thanks to the sportsmen who spend their money to feed them so liberally with wheat for, be it remembered, since the introduction Into our streams and lakes of the pesky carp, th last signs of natural food, such as wapato and widgeon grass, have long since, disappeared, and nothing remains but just plain mud. "Were It not for the feed supplied by the sportsmen It Is doubtful If a hunter could get a limit bag of duck between Portland and Astoria In a week's shoot, because good mud lskes abound nearly everywhere along th Coast and the duck would not come Inland 100 miles without being attracted by food. Canvasbacka Well Fed. "Caavashack ducks have been liber ally supplied with feed, this season In a Uttle chain of lake between Seaside and Astorls. th sportsmen there having the best shooting they have had In year. A ray of hope still abound In the hearts of the Portland canvasback shooters, for they still bellev tnat after a while some of these fine birds may again be In duced to come farther up th Columbia to the lake which. 15 year ago, were the rendexvou of countless swan, can vasback and other apeclea of wild wa terfowl. "Wild rice, splendid duck food, which abounds In unlimited quantities In many marshes In Canada and in some of our Middle Southern 8tate. has been planted In Oregon at different times but without success, the annual overflow of th low land causing It to rot and die out after It apparently had a good start. "No good bags of Jacksnlpe have been recorded thl season, probably on ac count of th 1st opening of the season. These birds. I have found, come In early about th middle of August and by th present opening season date, October 1 have passed on and except In a very few places, do not return until about the latter part of February or the first of March. "A few wild gee have been bagged this season at the preserve on Sauvle's Island, but this sport Is mediocre com pared with duck hunting, the hunters finding that It is too long between shota to prove attractive. Many Limit Baca Scored. "Many limit bags of ducks hav been made this season, in fact, the average hot being well toward th limit a good part of th season. For a tun during th middle of the eason a long, dry spell dried up soma of the smaller lake and prevented good hootlng for several weeks. However, all In all, th season Just now ending eems to m on of th best, from th sportsman's point of view, that has been experienced during the last several yeara. Next year sportsmen from Portland are planning for a more extensive campaign of blrd-ahootlng and some newly-equipped blinds and pre serves will probably ring with the ahots of the shooters before this time next sesson. In my official capacity, I have had very Mttle trouble enforcing the law among tb duck-shooters this yer. In short, everyone seems well pleased with the season. EMSLIE WILL BE PEXSIO-ED Veteran Cmplro to Be Retired as Eyesight la Falling. CHICAGO, Dec 14. If curtain for Bob Emll, th Ttrl umplra of th National League, according to Charle W Murphy, president of th Cubs. Fmslle according to Murphy, Is to be retired on a pension. The decision to retlr th man whom Harry Puiliam one said waa th best-Informed man on baseball In the United State, cam at th recent National League conven tion in New Tork. though no action wa taken at that time. It 1 expected President Lynch will soon give th of ficial Information that Emilia 1 through. "Email .will b retired," cald ilur- phy today, "but his loyalty will be re warded with a pension. President Lynch thinks Bob's useful days on the field have ended. Club owners are rapid ly coming to feel that the public de mands that only umpires who are right should be used. Of course, any umpire may make a mistake now and then, but It is only fair to the playera and the public that when a man's usefulness as a baseball judge ha ended, that he should be replaced. "If we hav some umpires," con tinued Murphy, "who can't tell a lemon from a baseball at 60 feet the sooner we find It out the better. Then wa can replace them with men whose decisions will not be an Irritation to the players and an offense to the public." JOILVSOJT AJfD "HACK" TO TOUR Fighter and Wrestler Flan Trip W ith Show Around World. It Is gossip In sporting circles about Chicago that Jack Johnson and George Hack ensch mid t are making; arrange ments to tour the world In an athletic show, says an exchange. According to th story. Jack Ourley, who Is at pres ent managing; the Russian wrestler, will handle the business end of the trip. Th Idea of the tour 1 similar to the one James Jeffries planned before the Reno bout, and should take up about two years. If the scheme goes through, the champion pugilist and Hacken schmldt will probably travel through nearly every country in the world. Johnson's apparent delusion that he ha mental trouble may Interfere with the scheme, and Uackenschmldt desires to meet Gotch and try to win the wrestling; championship before he goes on a tour of the kind. Hackenschmldt claims that he is in better condition and under better man agement than he was when Gotch de feated him In 1908, and he believes himself entitled to a match. Hacken schmldt expects to defeat all the mat artists now In this country and then he wishes another try out at the champion or lse th right to th title. In the meantime It Is said that Gotch Is doing some training; on bis Iowa farm. He I quoted with tbe statement that he desire to retire, but might come out and wrestle Hackenschmldt If the Russian defeat Mahmout and Zybszko, and there is a public request for the match, with a big purse. Gotch Is not the only champion who 1 doing light training. Jack Johnson has been doing road work In Chicago, despite all rumors that he Is 111. John son says that he Is ready and willing to make a match if the opponent, place and purse seem worthy. He ha noth ing definite In view, but there Is a Paris offer for a bout with Joe Jean nette ajid the latest 'challenge from Jim Barry. Johnson Insists that his seven or eight miles of road work is being done with no definite object In view, and that all he wants Is another X-ray ex amination of his head. American Laborers Scarce. EUGENE, Or., Dec 2. (Special.) That American laborers cannot be found in Eugene to do the work of digging ditches during the rainy season wa the statement made yesterday by M. D. Spencer, local manager of the Oregon Power Company.
