muscles of Wotgast's stomach were In
such tine condition that It was not nec
essary to cut them, as Is nearly always
the case In these operations. We sim
ply separated them, and did not cut
any. For this reason Wolgast will be
as strong. If not stronger than evsr

NOBODY KILLED, BUT IT

Even Absence of Injuries Couldn't Keep Addison Bennett From Enjoying
Oregon-Multnomah Game and Wriggly-Fingered Bandmaster.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
WHEN Phil Tleman was the cham
pion billiard player of the world,
some 40 or more years ago, he
was sitting In his billiard parlor In
Cincinnati one forenoon, when a
stranger entered and asked Phil If be
would play a game. Phil was willing.
So they strung for the lead. Phil won.
and proceeded to run the game out.
This was repeated three v times, when
the stranger put his cue In the rack
and started to walk out
Phil faulted him and asked If he had
not forgot something. The fellow felt
of his pockets, saw he had his hat and
coat, and replied, "I guess not."
Whereupon Phil said, "Haven't you for'
trot to Dav for three erames of bil-
liardsT" "Billiards." replied the
stranger, "billiards?
Why, you derned
fool, I halnt played no billiards."

And in the game nobody was gllled,
hence some may think It waa a tame
game, as tame as an old maid's pink
tea. bat It was not. It was quite spir
ited at times, but only two or three ot
the Multnomah boys were Incapacitated
and none of the Eugene chaps.
And those Multnomah fellows played
a good game, what might be called a
gamey game. I am not well up In
the Intricate plays, know but little
about the rules of tackling and rush
ing, do not know a forward pass from
a backward pass, for the life of me
could not tell why that fellow carried
a pillow from place to place and never
allowed anybody to fall on It, and
never sat down on it himself; and
whenever, as he frequently did, the
referee said therj had been an off
side play, I wondered which side and
why, and why It . was that no near
side plays were alluded to. Neither
did Helen know, although she is a
Eugene girl this season.
But all this has nothing to do with
the leader of the band, who was, after
all. the main feature of the game.
When he wiggled hi finger to the
north, the team I mean the band
played far away and tunefully; when
he wiggled It to the south, there was
a deuce of a time, all the Instruments
sending forth their loudest "notes but
all In tune, always In tune. Sometimes
this leader man would also wiggle the
horn under his arm, and then the mu
sic would soften up a bit, get sort of
mournful, dlrge-Uke, as If they were
playing at the funeral of somebody
thev did not like while he lived.
From that you might think I am
trying to knock that band; but I am
not. And If ever I am called upon to
be the silent actor at a funeral, to oo-

the casket, perhaps they will delight
the audience with a dirge, remaps
they will take pleasure In so doing.
But If that leader wiggles both fin.

well!
The score was 17 to (, which was not
so bad. considering there were bets
offered of three to one on the Multno
mahs. And then It must be remem
bered that It was only by a display of
splendid nerve that the Eugene boys
played at all, being In mourning for
one of their members who met a ter
rible death only a few days ago. When
one remembers that, he will give those
eleven young men credit for meeting
those seasoned players of the Multno
mahs with the pluck and spirit that
they displayed Tnursaay. ah prmao
