LAW
Ftsh BUI Like That of Eight Years
Ago, Says Sportsman.
PORTLAND. Jan. 14. (To the Edi
tor.) A wrong impression seems to
prevail among sportsmen and others aa
to the action taken by the Oregon Fish
tc Game Association at Ita last meeting
with regard to trout leglslstlon.
The bill which I drew up and pre-
WITTS BERK'S
sented to the association for adoption
simply contemplates a restoration of
the trout law which was in existence
for e'ght years prior to the lsst ses
sion of the Legislature, which law
received the most favorable comment
throughout the state and country. . The
bill which I presented to the meeting,
and which It adopted by a unanimous
vote, closes the season .on all trout,
except salmon trout, during the months
of November. December. January. Feb
uary and March, and allows the fish
ing for salmon trout In tide waters at
all times. In all other respects the
trout law Is left Just as It has been
for years. A. E. GEBHAI'.DT.
SPEEDWAY UNDER TEST
IXDIAXAPOLIS TRACK IS BEING
EXAMINED BV EXPERTS. .
teovernntent Engineers Determining
Value of Brick lor l"c as
Paving Material.
IXPIAXAPOLIS. lnd.. Jan. 14. (Spe
cial.) The United States Government
haa taken official notice of the Indian
apolis Motor fpeedway with the re
sult that two engineer physicists from
the Bureau of Standards at Washing
ton. 1. C. have taken up headquarters
at the famous brick course to make
tests and observations which will show
the effect of atmospheric changes on
the vitrified paving surface. The
Speedway was chosen as the most per
fect sample of brick pavlntr In the
country and the peculiar slopes and
curves at the turns of the race course
give the only opportunity to test ir
regular paving and road construction.
Major James K. Howard, head of the
experimental work for the Government.
Is authority for the statement that the
Speedway stands alone In the vitri
fied brick paving field as an example
of near perfection, and the results ob
tained from the test thcrs will be of
lasting benefit. The report of the
experts will be sent to the Washing
ton headquarters and there will be
distributed to all of the municipali
ties which use brick as a paving ma
terial. One of the tests which the experts
are making is to determine the con
traction and expansion of the brick
surface In the various temperatures
from 10 degrees below sero to Sum
mer heat. This will be of benefit to
paving contractors In future construc
tion work, as they will know what
allowance to make for auch changes.
Another test to determine the rigidity
of the track has been made by placing
a sensitive spirit level which shows
a change of one-ten-thousandth rft
of an Inch, beside an automobile. The
machine Is then run away and the ac
tion of the level noted. These tests so
.far have failed to show any chance In
the position of the level gauge.
A score of test cars from Indianapolis
motor factories are working out dally
at the brick track and the results
which they have brought in, making
the brick surface smoother are re
markable. The steady grind of car
after car running over the brick has
worn the surface down to a smooth
ness which was believed Impossible
when the track was first constructed.
After spending $150,000 putting the
brick surface on the course- the man
agement found that It was rather hard
on tires, so every means has been
used to bring the track Into the
smoothest condition possible.

WAGNER EXPECTS
PIRATES WILL WIN
For First Time in His Career

Interview.
HE STAYS IN PITTSBURG
Famous Shortstop I-lare That
Overconfident?. Was One Reason
Why Pirates Failed to "Cop"
Flag Last Year.
PITTSBURG. Pa.. Jan. 14. For the
first time In his career as a ball player
Hans Wsgner has been Interviewed and
NEW OTTO TORPEDO. A RECENT ARRIVAL IV PORTLAND.
has consented to say something about
basoDall.
Being satisfied that his talk would
not be misconstrued, the man who made
Carnegie famous haxarded the opinion
that the Pittsburg club would be a con
tender for the National League pennant
next season.
"It Is no secret." said Honua. "that
last year's fsllure was a surprise and
a sore disappointment to every one of
lis. We were all dead certain that Chi
cago would not have a look-In, and we
scarcely gave New Tork a thought.
"Week after week passed and things
continued to break bad for us. The
pitchers were going bad arfd the rest
of us weren't playing as we should
have played.
"Still, as I have said, we didn't for
a minute Imagine we were going to be
headed: when matters looked blackest
for us, all of the fellows were confident
that we would finish strong and shove
Chlcsgo down a peg.
Overconfldencc Is Admitted.
"This, you see. waa overconfldence.
We never thought but we were going
to land the pennant. The race had been
an easy one In 1909, and neither Chi
cago nor New York looked any better
last yesr. So, when we started out
we felt good and Imagined that wo
were going to have an easy time of
It at least not a very hard time."
At this point Wagner referred to
the showing of the players during the
training trip at West Kaden and Hot j
Springs. ise recauea inai m ox me
pitchers had been going well, thst Mil
ler and himself were killing the ball,
and that the general prospect was
good.
I aviin ne came hark North." said
' John Henry, "the weather was cold and 1
' bad. and 'Cap' Clarke warned us to be j
1 on the Jump all the lime and not take
any chanres. 'Cap' kept this up all ,
i through the season; ho warned all the j
guess none of 'em believed there was
any danger until It was too late to do
anything."
This bit of history taken care of,
Wagner was Importuned to discuss the
probabilities of tho future.
."You are going to play ball next sea
son, aren't you?'' was asked.
Wagner Not IJendy to Quit.
"Yes. I guess I am." was the reply.
"I am not ready to quit yet. and I
don't know that I would want to play
with any other team than Pittsburg.
"A few weeks ago I noticed that
some of the papers hsd roe on the mar- '
ket. but aJl the time I knew there was j
nothing in these reports. I like the
Pittsburg management, and as Ions as i
Mr. Dreyfus and "Cap' Clarke want me.
to play ball for them I guess I'll do lu i
"Stlil. you never can teil when some- I
thing is going to happen. You know, I ;
can't go on playing ball forever. I j
must quit somo time, and the time to
quit is when you find you are going
bark.
"You know." he said, "this baseball
game Is a mighty uncertain thing. I
j have been given credit for doing things
any man couia nave aone nan na been
as lucky as 1 was. Take the mutter of
hitting, for instsnce. Some men hit
better than others, but tbey are the
lucky ones. I know of times when I
would have given a finger to have been
able to produce a hit. and when the
best I could do was to make an easy
out. Then there are times when a hit
wasn't needed, when I have slammed
the ball to the furthermost corner of
the lot.
"Hitting, as I have said. Is very
largely lurk. So Is fielding. One man
haa more natural ability than another,
and one man has more luck than an
other. I have been one of the lucky
ones."
When the subject of the coming sea
son was broached. Honus evinced a de
sire tn perform one of his side-stepping
stunts.
Pirates Will Be Strong.
"I don't like to talk about these
things." he said, "but I believe the
Pittsburg club Is going to be strong
next season. In fact. If our pltchera
are going right we should be very
strong.
"Chicago surely doesn't look any bet
ter than It was tn 1910. and, while New
York hss improved somewhat snd has
some likely young fellows, I bellve that
Pittsburg will be better than either
team.
"See where Jack Miller has joined the
volunteer fire department at Kearney?
Well, take it from me. he'll make a
good fireman. Jack Is a nice boy and
a hard worker. lie puis his entire
heart and soul Into everything he does,
and If the fires only come fast enough
In Kearney you'll find "Dots' will be
w-eartne; tiie chiefs helmet within a
very short time."
"Guess you've seen where "Cap
Clarke has said that Miller will be
played at second next season ssrainT"
"Sure." said the big fellow, "and he'll
make good this year. too. Last year
was one of those unlucky spells I told
you about. Miller worked hard when
he found things weren't breaking right,
but I reckon he worked too hard. Next
season Jack will be O. K., and I feel
certain that he will win back the
friends he lost."
Kvldently fearing that some of the
fans are entertaining hard fcellnss for
the Kearney fireman, his 'pal' said:
"Miller .is honest and earnest in
everything he does. He tried hard last
year to be as good as he was In 1909;
and when a man does the best lie can
he shouldn't be blamed. He was un
lucky, that's all."
RED SOX WILL TRAVEL FAR
Boston Americans Preparing for
Record-Break ing Trip.
'. BOSTON". Jan. 14. Eddie RHey. sec
retary of the Boston American League
club, is busy with arrangements for
the Coast to Coast trip. It is the long
est trip ever attempted by a ball club,
and as it is expected to cost the club
between $15,000 and 116.000. there Is
naturally a great deal of work to be
done In preparing details. Tho Sox
will travel In their Spring maneuvers
alone about half the distance they go
over In the playing season with all its
Jumps from one city of the circuit to
another. The plan Is now for the club
to do most of Its training at Fresno,
Santa Barbara or Long Reach, all three
of which places are within easy dis
tance of San Francisco. It has been
decided that Captain Heinle Wagner
will take charge of the second team
on the way home.
The .by-laws of the National League
club have been amended to provide for
the four directors and to make legal
the other offices created at the meeting
of the board of directors when the new
owners took hold. An executive com
mittee, consisting of President Russell
and Vice-President Page, whs created.
This committee will look after the bus.
