BAKER'S WORK IS FEATURE SNAPSHOTS TAKEN ON ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL DEER-HUNTING TRIPS OF THE 1912 SEASON IN THE UMPQUA RIVER DISTRICT. - Oranse and Black Player Gives His Own Team Lead When He Kicks fJoal From Placement nt Thirty-Tard Line. PRINCETOX. X. J., Oct 26. Prince ton surprised the most ODtlmlstic of her followers today by defeating Dart- mouth 22 to 7. Princeton's victory was purely a re suit of "outfighting" tactics. Dart mouth assumed the attack and carried the ball well Into Princeton's terri tory on a series of line plunges and a variety or trick plays which complete ly barried the Princeton players. As th game progressed. however, the home eleven . seemed to get stronger ana. showing remarkable speed both In offense and defense.' held the visitors well in check in the second half. Tljcera Brace Near Goal. Dartmouth rushed the ball almost as much as Princeton, but the Tigers always strengthened when their goal line was In danger and several times recovered fumbles by Dartmouth, which always managed to come at the most inopportune times for the Hanoverians. "Hobby" Baker's work was without question the feature of the fray. With Princeton one point behind in the second period Baker gave them the lead by kicking a goal from placement from the 30-yard line and In additlili made the most sensational run seen here this year. Gathering in the ball on Princeton's 15-yard line, he dodgred his way through the entire Greci.i eleven and ran 85 yards for a touch down. Walter opened the game by kicking to Llewellyn, who returned the ball five yards before being tackled. Dartmouth kept Princeton on the defensive throughout the first quarter and forced the play at all times. Dartmouth pre sented a varied attack with numerous trick plays. Morey grabbed a forward pass from Andrews and dashed 30 yards before being downed. H. Baker went in for Walter for Princeton. Green Held on Line. Dartmouth advanced the ball to Prin ceton's foot line, but Princeton held and Dewitt kicked to midfleld. Dart mouth rushed the ball down the field and the quarter ended with Dart mouth in possession of the ball on Princeton s ten-yard line. Dunlap went in at right end for F. Trenkman and W. Rogers went In for Captain Bennett at right guard. W hitney was given the ball and crashed through center for a Dartmouth touchdown, Englebom kicking the goal. On the kickolf Baker kicked over the goal line. Dartmouth putting the ball in playon the 20-yard line. Dart- moutn could not advance and Morey kicked to mldileld. Dewitt ploughed through for 10 to 20 yards at a clip, and finally carried the ball over for a touchdown. Baker missed the goal. but in the last minute of play, kicked a goal from placement, making, the score at the end of the econd period: Princeton, a; Dartmouth,. 7.

L. D. Gilbert, the Portland engineer, and Emery Davidson, of the Fair banks-Morse Company, returned from Roseburg last week with a number of horns and Jerked venison to show for their successful trip Into one of the best deer-hunting sections of Oregon. Gilbert and Davidson Journeyed from Portland to Roseburg, where they were met by Hal Winston, Fred Winston and Jim Ware, of that place. The party of five, together with Jack Short, an ex-Klondiker and friend of Jack London, took the train from Winston ranch to Tiller. From Tiller the party packed 15 miles to the Umqua hunting grounds. The hunters found the big bucks( hard to scare up, but by passing the small ones,, managed to kill five big fellows with five-pointed horns, with the remaining 11 ranging down to three points. Twelve sets of horns were saved. The party brought back the . horns, four carcasses, eight hams and much Jerked venison. . , Several of the same men hunted last season in the Cow Canyon section, but found the 1912 shooting much better, with less danger from reckless hunters. , Only one party was within four miles of the Roseburg - Portland squad. senger men in the Northwest.

CALIFORNIA TURNS AGAINST JOHNSON Board of Supervisors at San Francisco Takes Stand Opposing Negro. C0FFR0TH ALSO SPEAKS Promoter Says He Might Have Had Champion and Jim Flynn but Knew Public Would Not Be In Favor 'of Bont. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26. (Specfal.) Jack Johnson, champion pugilist of the world, seems to have run his race, Public opinion has fallen against him, because of his actions and his failure to keep bis place, and today 1 doubt if there is a city In the country that would dare to stage him as an attraction. Sen timent is altogether too strong to per mit anything of the sort, and it would not be surprising if he would find him self obliged to default his . title and quietly withdraw from the limelight. A negro fighter is all right when he knows .his place, but when he attempts to assume other rights, then It is fit and proper that he should be squelched. ' Negro Long In Disfavor. Johnson was In disfavor In San Fran cisco on his last visit to this city and the time before, when he was training for the Jeffries match. In those days of more than two years ago, he had with him the white woman who was his wife and recently died In Chicago. Even then his appearance on the street with the woman caused murmurs or trouble, but after the present agitation, he would not do at all. Hugh Mcintosh, of Australia, started the ball rolling when he telegraphed his representative, W. C J. Kelley, to break off all negotiations and drop Johnson; saying that sentiment was against the colored man. - California had previously taken much the same stand when former Governor Gillette declared that Johnson couldn't fight Jeffries within the borders of this state. Now comes the police committee of the Board of Supervisors of San Fran cisco to declare that a permit would be refused to any promoter who. might care to stage- Johnson. Likewise the promoters have been rushing to the front to say that they have had no In tention of using the burly negro. Coffroth Not Surprised. "I have been expecting some out break of this sort on the part of John son," said Co (troth, "and naturally It does not surprise me in the least. For more than a year now I- have consid ered it Inadvisable to use Johnson, be cause I have figured that it would hurt the game. I might have had Johnson and Jim Flynn but I didn't care to ex cite public opinion, that I well .knew would be against such a match." Others, have spoken the same way, and as Johnson Is barred In New York he has not many places left to him In which he could fight. He is a negro who above all else likes the hero worship that comes to a cham pion from the big crowds, and I fancy that the attitude against him will hurt so much that ne may retire, in gooa faith and quit the game for all time to come. " Certainly. If he decides on that at titude, there will be no tears shed so far as the sporting fraternity Is con cerned. It might take some little time to adjust the new conditions and bring up another world's champion, but after all that would only be a detail. . Unquestionably, his retirement would be the very best thing that could hap pen to the pugilistic world. Kaufman Not Right. Al White, the training quarters man in Oakland, who was managing Al Kaufman, says that the burly Callfor- nlan seems to be in a comatose state. Ever since his fight with Luther. McCarty," said White, this week, "Al sits around his house In Sausallto and mopes. I know that from the head down he seemed to be In splendid phy sical condition for the match, but ho wasn't right In the head. A fighter couldn't be right who would hold his chin out and let a man crack It time and again. ' I hope that he will quit the game as a lot of his friends have advised him to do. There Is nothing n it for him to continue at that sort of work." The way the four-round game has been growing In importance In San Francisco is best exemplified by the money some of the youngsters are re ceiving. I have In mind a lightweight under the name of Willie Hoppa, who has come to the front during the past few months. Willie halls from Butch erton, where he has had a Job until re cently. Having won a few of his matches, he came to be a popular Idol! Last week for instance, he was paid $400 for four rounds with Frankle Kirk from Vallejo. This week he was matched with Tommy McFarland, also a local boy, and each of them drew down a guarantee of $600. In addition, the promoter must stage something like six or seven other bouts. Of course, they don't run high, but In the aggregate they will total $500 That means $1700 for the card. As s rule these four-round shows cost about $1700, after which there are other ex penses such as hall rent and license to be paid. Opponent Yet Unnamed. The prices range from 50 cents In the gallery to $2 in the box seats, and the best houses go as high as $2800. That means about $500 In profits for the matchmaker and the man, who is hand ling the card. It is by no means too high when you stop to consider that If he struck a bad night or for any rea son the people didn't show, he would be out and injured. Not until after Monday night. No vember 4, when Ad Wolgast and Joe Mandot box 10 rounds 3n New Orleans will Coffroth decide upott Wolgrast's op ponent for the Thanksgiving day card. It depends largely upon what sort of a showing Mandot makes. If he can show to good form aga.lnst the cham pion and will accept a reasonable offer, Coffroth will give him the match. San Francisco people would like to see this chance come to WillJe Ritchie, but as long as he is under the manage ment of Billy Nolan, Coffroth will hard ly talk business with him. Truth to tell. Nolan is the toughest sort of a handicap to Ritchie, and the sooner the fighter finds it out the better. Things are going to be quuet in San Francisco for the next few weeks with the baseball season over. Possibly fighting will come up stronger, but un less it does, the picking Is going to be decidedly lean for the sporting scribes Football, of course, will hold us for e few weeks, but around Christmas there will be little or nothing. Weaver Modest Youth. George "Buck" Weaver "and Pine Bodie are am one: the latest additions to the baseball colony. They have come to- San Francisco to Winter and wlU have a hunting trip with Oscar Vltt ami several others of the boys. Weaver, none the worse apparently for his bumping with Lord In the series with the Chicago Cubs, is his own mod est self. 'The team was weakened when I was taken out of the game," he ex plains. "After I was back, we had a walkover and won four straight." Yes, Weaver just hates himself. Tyler Christian will keep some of the Oaks together to play a series of three games against a picked team of l-.astern stars the week following the season's close. One of these games Is to be played on Thursday, October 31. and there will be two games on Sun day, the money to be divided among the men playing. Henry Berry, of the Angels, who is here with his club this week, wants to enter a denial of a story that appeared in one of the San Francisco evening papers to the effect that he had offered the management of his club to Frank Chance. He says that Frank Dillon will continue as manager of the Angels and that the story was written by some newspaper man from the South who dislikes Dillon and wanted to play him a nasty trick. The Coast League will be represented at the annual meeting of the minor leaguers in Milwaukee, Wis., on No vember 12, by President Baum, J. Cal Ewing, Henry Berry and Happy Hogan The party will not be as large as lust year at San Antonio, but for all that, there will be enough on hand to get what the Coasters want.

The Multnomah Athletic Club has in Carl Wolff, the 195-pound halfback, one of the most remarkable all-around ath letes in the game. In addition to being a wonderful ground gainer this , 22- year-old six-footer Is a remarkable punter and place kicker and is also one of the greatest shot-putters the North west ever developed. Wolff is a Portland boy, son of Fred erick Wolff, manager of the Phoenix Iron Works and brother of Johnny Wolff, the great designer of the speed boats. He is a machinist by trade. Carl got' his first football training with the Stephens Addition juveniles and later attended Hill Military Acad emy. In 190S the great athlete journeyed to the Oregon Agricultural College and for four seasons, 1906, 1907, 190S and 1909, he starred, three years as full back and one year as half. Wolff Is among friends In the Winged M squad.

CASSELL. Mr. Duick Hunter is pleased, but not mightily so. Over one shoulder is (lung a modest "bag" consisting of a dozen teaJ, mallard and sprig. This "bas" represents a strenuous and cost ly, to say nothing of sleep-annihilating, all-day saioig-un fus.Uado from an ap paren.tlx harmless bunch of grass bor-u-erins a pund many miles removed from the center of civil, nation. It you query Mr. Duck Hunter, fagged out and not mightily pleased, with his gun prowess, anent the dan ger of duck famine from the pernicious slaughter of the web-footed innocents, you will receive no corroborative lnfor. mation, 11' you are-seeking data for a verbal assault upon the unsportsman like diick killer. He will greet you with a sneering "pah." Pressed further, he may speak In this wise.: "The man who kills 30 ducks, the limit for one day, Is sure a. lucky individual." Then he will point to his leathered victims and modestly elucidate tsat his bas: was the best of the squad, with all the other fellows crack shots. Deer Inland IlnnNng Good. But therft Is one duck hunter's Mec ca within less than two hours' ride of rortianu, wnicn is best described in superlatlvfs. That Mecca Is Deer Island. To be more explicit, that part of Deer Island, Ave miles south u Kalama, on the Oregon side of tho Columbia River, reserved for the mem bers of the Deer Island Hunting Club and thelr friends. At thfcj time of the year the hunter who faiUs to bag the limit by noon on Deer Island Is a poor shot indeed. That day is badly spent If every hunter does not return to Portland with 35 ducks,, teal, mallard, sprig, widgeon and spoonbiE, for home consumption and distribution among lucky friends. The Deer Island Hunting Club, with a membership of seven, has a preserve on Deer Island composed of 2300 acres, with IS distinct lakes or nonria unrf n in number of slougrhs. There are shal low lakes, with the soft, muddy bottom so dear to the leart of the speedy teak, the deeper lakos, with harder bottom, which ilnd favor with the more stately mallard, and Intermediate lakes suited for the feeding of sprig, widgeon," spoonbill and other species of duck, j Ducks Have Haven. A distinct feature of the Deer' Island Hunting Club preserve and one which makes it the best huntine- in this section of Oregon, Is the "rest ing" lake. This resting lake Is the largest body of water on the preservt, half a mile wide In spots and more tha,i a mile long-, where shooting is pro hibited. Hundreds of thousands of ducks rest in this central lake, immiino from attack, and fly to the smaller lakes, where they feed on wheat during the week and attempt to do so on Bun day. One of the best rules of the club, and one which brands the members as true sportsmen, prohibits shooting into a ' flock of ducks, or shooting at birds resting on tlue lakes. "Get them on the wing, one at a time," is the rule of shotgun procedure, with, of course, the automatic and pump gun taboo. The only variation is the occasional effort, often successful, to pot two or three lapped in flight. Each shooting place, nicknamed va riously as the "Sink," "Barrel," "Box." etc., is provided with live and wooden decoys, which Caretaker Harrill, an extremely busy man during tha sea-, son, places in pqsitlon for the hunters belore daylight every Sunday morning. Geeae Alio Hunted. In addition to ducks, geese, phea sants, mountain quail and an occa-' slonal deer, driven across the sloughs' rrom the mainland, are found on the club's preserve. However, the activity of the members la i.-on fined to ducks In the Fall and early Winter, and to greese, after the duck season closes. The Deer Island Hunting Club la the oldest In point of lease on one.' place on the Columbia. The club has. been in its present quarters for 16 years, with Its membership varying from seven, the present number, to 10. George Lelthoff, of the Gambrlnus Brewing Company, who is president of the club, and J. 13. Cullison, president. of the Portland Gun Club, are the old est members. The other members are: A. L. Mills, president of the First Na tional Bank; Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, chief surgeon of the O.-W. R. & N.; Will Llpman. of Llpman, Wolfe & Co.; Elliott Corbett and Harry Corbett. 'Feed' Are Enjoyed.
