COFFERS ARE ENRICHED Hurler, Who Costs XotMna; Sold tor $5000, Returned, Traded for Man Who Brings $4000 and More Players, Again Returned. Using- Paul Strand, the youthful southpaw, as his -hoss." Joe Conn. oWn baseball owner, baa performed trading- stunts calculated to make r. i i u.nm wish for a reincarnation ,.-, in.t . laurels. Cohn has ohnnr . isooo in cash to his ex rhequer and several vaiuame v -for his twirling "phenom." players, by the war. who are going to land the Indians within a few games of the northwestern League championship this season. . The possession of Strand enabled Cohn to secure Wuffli. Altman. Powell and Noyes, and in addition pull off two major league sales. Strand for 15000 to the Boston Americans, and Noyes for 00 to the Boston Nation als. And what Is more. Cohn still has the kid heaver on his payroll as his individual .baseball property. Briefly. Tiere is a history of the deals surrounding Strand: The young, ster was picked up in the bushes near Tacoma in the Winter of 1910. Cohn beating the other Northwestern League mogu.B to the promising southpaw with a contract. He was the early season sensation of the circuit, his fame reaching Boston and resulting In $5000 sale, half of the money down, according to Cohn. Strand proved a "morning glory pitcher, and failed to Impress scouts during the middle of the season. Bos ton turned him back to Spokane, but awarded Wuffli to Cohn for an option on Strand to August 20. San Francisco traded Noyes, Altman and Powell to Spokane for Wuffli. the lnfielder who was setting the North western I-eague afire. Noyes Immediately-Jumped Into fame, winning 16 straight games and figuring In a 4000 sale to Boston of the National League. Noyes not only brought more coin Into the Cohn strong box through the sale to Boston, but be gave the In dians the needed strength to place them in the pennant race, ably assisted by Altman and Powell. As for Strand, that worthy was sent to San Frrnclsco. back to Spokane, and thence to Walla Walla. He "came back" with the latter club and has been pitching good ball since Joining the Indians again. Boston failed to exercise the option and Cohn now figures that next sea son, and Strand will be only 21 years old then, he can sell his husky south paw "hoes'" once more, and if the lad doesn't stick "up there" the road will once more be open for a few David Harum maneuvers. dinner before she could slip up to her room. it is hard to describe the Summer In the Alps this season, although there is some slight -consolation In knowing that, so far. It has not been so Daa that of 1910. with torrential rains one day and hot sun the next to melt all the freshly fallen snow on the mountains. It is no wonder that some of the rivers have overflowed and flooded many meadows, and that others are bank-high. The part of the country which has suffered most Is the Gothard district and Tlclno, especially around the Italian lakes. At Lugano, for example, more man Inches of rain were registered In 16 hours, and the lake rose over a foot in four hours, so that for a day or two the steamers were unable to run be cause they could not pass under the railway bridge, and small boats had to be put on Instead. In one valley In the Mendrlslo dis trict no fewer than 40 landslides have occurred, but the most serious hap pened on the Gothard line, and for a day eaused great delay In the train services. In another place the Gothard express was very nearly derailed ow ing to a sinking in the railway em bankment occasioned by the heavy rains. . , Climbing, meanwhile, has been hardly to be thought of. Several of those who have attempted It have been snowed up In huts for one or two days, and have only now contrived to reach the .llv. .ruin. In Berne It has been extraordinarily chilly for the season, and reports from the higher altitudes state that there have been heavy snowfalls, so that It will take several days of fine weather to make the mountains again feasible. - Meanwhile the Winter resorts busy preparing for next season, hoping that ax In 1910 SO in 19". sunless Summer may be followed by a hrllll.ntlv sunnv. frosty winter.

SI0KANE OWNER, VALUABLE TRADING PLAYER, AND EX-SEALS , IN SPOKANE UNULft-H oyuivu. The Northwestern League will have a record representation at the Milwau kee meeting of the National Associa tion of Minor League Baseball Clubs on November 12. With the exception of Ed Watklns. Tacoma owner, every director of the league will make the trip to the brewery city, and with them will nrobably go Fielder A. Jones. the league's executive. Even Watklns ,r,nv rinriiiA to ioln the party. President McCredle. of the Portland Club, will pass up the world's series this season In favor of tne association gathering, as will every other owner in the league, as well as Fielder Jones. Joe Cohn says he will be on hand to make a bid for an A classification, while D. E. Dug-dale, of Seattle, and Bob Brown, of Vancouver, are keen for a fight along these lines. "We have a bigger population, ex cluding Portland, than has the Weit ern or Southern League, and we pay blsKer salaries than the Western Leaaue and more, comparing the num ber of players carried, than the Coast Uague," says Mr. Cohn. "We feel that we are entitled to a ranking with leagues of the Western callbr." Any plans which may be made for a fight along this line wiu come De fore the special meeting to be called for Seattle immediately alter tne cios ing of the season. Eight of the H men on the Spokane Indian staff are former San Francisco players. This entitles the Spokaneltes to the nickname "Baby Seals. Of the Spokane team all of the out fielders Powell. Johnson. Hartley and Melchioc formerly wore San Francisco uniforms. Noyes, Strand and Toner, three of the six pitchers, were with the Seals this season, although Strand did not play in a league game. "Dutch Altman, formerly of Spokane before he went to the Southern League, played with San Francisco a short time this season before rejoining his old pals. The Colts leave Portland tonight for the final two-weeks' road trip of the season. They play seven games against Seattle, then three games- at Victoria, .three against Victoria at Seattle, and wind up the season on September 29 with a Sunday tussle against Dugdale's prospective pennant winners. Spokane plays Tacoma at home this week and closes the season at van couver. Vancouver and Victoria play a six-game series at Vancouver, com mencing tomorrow. The seventh game is played at Tacoma. KISSES GUIDES' REWARD Romantic Incident bt Swiss Moun tain Climbing Recalled. GENEVA. Sept. 14 (Special.) A ro mantic event took place on the summit of Mont Blanc when a Frenchwoman, Mile. d'Angeville. climbed to the "Roof of Europe In the Summer of 1838. be- Ing the first of her sex to accomplish the feat, she was accompanied by 1 guides, who lifted her up on their shoulders, so that In future she could claim she mounted higher than any climber in Europe. Then the II guide asked Mile. d"Angeville a great favor. Would she permit them to salute her with a kiss as a homage to her cour ni;c? She consented, and while the 12 ' bronzed guides kissed her cheeks on the summit of Mont Blanc, down In Cbamonlx cannon shots proclaimed the victory of the Frenchwoman over the mountain and man. ' The fair sex have contributed eon aiderablv to the humor of mountain eerlng. An avalanche caused a well known lady climber a great deal of In convenience by carrying away her de tachable skirt which she was In the habit of wearing ever her rational cos tume, as it Is called. On this occasion she had placed it aside ' to negotiate some difficult rocks, when the aval anche took a fancy to the garment.

At present two "routes have been suggested one from New York City to San urancinco via Buffalo. Cleveland. Ohio: Chicago and Salt Lake City to the coasv. Tire other would be from New York to Bal timore, thence over the National road and through the south western part of the country to the coast. - . . Motorcyclists on tne two omereni routes have already entered Into keen rivalry and the good points of both itineraries are being emphasised. In this connection another suggestion has been made that a message be started from the Pacific Coast at the same Km. the message leaves rNew York, and that there be a relay race between the riders on the two routes. Resolutions of appreciation for the hospitality and courtesies shown mem bers of the Federation of American Motorcyclists during the recent con vention and race meet in Columbus, Ohio, have been sent in the name of the Federation of American Motor cvcllBts by Secretary Gibson to the city officials of the Ohio capital.

Despite a high east wind, unruffled water prevailed for the annual Fall regatta of the Portland Rowing ciud on the Willamette River yesterday aft ernoon, and the enthusiastic crowd that lined the floats on the east bank along the club course was treated to a pro gramme of excellent events. s The Gloss trophy, offered by the old- time Coast champion, E. O. Gloss, for the senior singles, a new event, was won by A. Pfaender, who nosed out Fred Newell by a length in a mile course. This trophy must he won two of three times for permanent posses sion. Mr. Newell made a brilliant ef fort, but could not make up the yard age gained by his competitor in the early stages. Hansen's Crew Wins Fours. , E. A. Hansen's crew won the fours in the finals, beating both the Helwig and Cooper quartets, but the second heat of the semi-finals between the Cooper four and that manned by C. Spooner, stroke: A. A. Alien, i, ru Gammie, 2: G. Kelly, bow, proved the most exciting of the matinee. The Coopers won In a magnificent spurt by not much more than a yara. ine course was one-hair mile.

Myers, bow. Cooper's D. Cooper, stroke: C. Dyrlund, 3; E. O. Gloss, 2; A. Stringer, Dow. Newell Has Revenge. Fred Newell had ample revenge for his defeat in the singles, when he and j. Havely paired up and defeated A. Pfaender and Captain Art Allen in the senior doubles over a mile course. The crews maintained an even pace most of the distance, the winner crossing the line one-half length to tne good. Winners In the canoe events follow: Single canoe, U mile, . won by J. Helwle. Double canoe, mile, won by H. Gammie and C. Hamlin rv R. G. J.

In former times, oeiore talaeerlng became an established, sport the simple. unsophisticated dwellers in the Alps looked upon every Alpinist as a madman or a seek er after gold or the devil They argued that walking up a mountain wag more dangerous than walking on level ground; then, why did strangers leave the valley, where they had good roads and railways to travel by. In order to ascend the peaks, except for a sinister motive? ' The late Mr. Whymper, In his first cllmbs-rn the Andes, was taken for a goldseekcr by the Inhabitants, show ing that this superstition was not con fined to the Swiss Alps Again, Mr. Whymper and his party during their historic first ascent of the Matterhom were mistaken for devils by their Ital ian rivals, who, on the same day, wera mounting from the Italian side. The latter were nearlng the top when they saw distinctively Whymper's party on, the summit. The Swiss guides on the summit danced for Joy in their tri umph, and hurled stones In the dlree tlon,of the Italians, who stampeded and returned to Breull. "It Is true." they said, "that the Matterhom is the home of devils, for we saw them, and they threw boulder at us."
