STRANDJOECOHN'S
"HOSS" FORTRADES

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

wonder that some of the rivers have

President McCredle. of the Portland
Club, will pass up the world's series
this season In favor of tne association

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

blsKer salaries than the Western
Leaaue and more, comparing the num
ber of players carried, than the Coast
Uague," says Mr. Cohn. "We feel

Of the Spokane team all of the out

Altman, formerly of Spokane before he
went to the Southern League, played

GENEVA. Sept. 14 (Special.) A ro

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

MOTORCYCLE NOTES
Preparations outlining the route of
the coast-to-coast motorcycle reij
race will be oegun soon. 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.

political geography at the Unlversltyof season increasing tbe death toll of tha
Alps. 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."
