From the Smallest to 1L3 by 15 Feet
"Orientals? Yes, Jack, we did plan to buy
Oriental rugs for these rooms. But after we
saw the Whittall line we changed our minds.
The patterns and colorings are handsome,
the quality the best, and the prices very
reasonable."
THE PRICES
The tremendous advance in the prices of wool and
dye stuffs have as yet increased the prices of
Whittalls but slightly. And you will find them as
absolutely dependable in quality and colors as ever.

Bob Brown, of Vancouver, says he
is going to play baseball at 6:30 o'clock
each evening and will play to Sunday
crowds every night. The days are long
in the Canadian city and twilight ball
has always been a feature, but Brown
ntends to work the proposition to a
fare-thee-well this season.
Brown says Vancouver Is in a thriv
ing condition. The shipyards are work
ing with capacity crews and there is
plenty of money in circulation. Most
of the wage-earners quit at 4 o'clock
In the afternoon. With the games
starting at 6:30 It will give the fans
and business men a chance to get
home for the "eats" and then beat it
to the game.
Judge McCredie yesterday received
a letter from Harry W. Stahlhefer, of
the Evansville club of the Central
League, inclosing a list of ballplayers
he wanted to "wish" on the Portland
magnate. After giving the list the
"once-over," Judge McCredie decided
that the players mentioned could find
no roosting place in Portland.
Signs of Spring are here. Testerday
Ed Krentlehr, groundkeeper at the
Vaughn-street lot, visited Judge Mc
Credie's office and said that the grand
stand and bleachers were still in posi
tion and that the diamond, outside of
being a bit muddy, was In great shape.
Judge McCredie yesterday sent out
Portland "contracts." One three-cent
stamp was enough to provide trans

was sent to "Leftv" James at Pendle

All as Cowardly Act.
BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
Portland Ice hockey enthusiasts are
still busily engaged discussing the won
derful showing made by the Portland
Rosebuds in their game Friday night,
when they tamed the Seattle "Mets" in
one of the fastest and most eventful
games of the season.
The wonderful aggressiveness dis
played by each member of the septet.
as well as the teamwork of the Rose
buds, tends to make the fans sit up and
take notice. At last. Manager Muldoon
has arranged his line-up in such a
manner as to secure the very best re
sults. Tortland fans were surprised at the
wonderful exhibition put up by Al Bar
bour against the league leaders. Bar
bour's speed, together with his effect
ive checking and ability to be in on
every play, easily made him one of
the bright stars of the Portland vic
tory. Muldoon has a world of confidence in
Barbour and, with a little more experi
ence. Al is going to make a humdinger
with the stick. He seems to have fit
ted into the rover position like a stamp
on a letter. The chances are the line
up which played against Seattle last
Friday night will remain intact the
balance of the season.
Tohin Is Star.
Charlie Tobin played one of his best
games against Lester Patrick's charg
ers last Friday night. When it came to
fast skating and dodging through the
opposition and checking the advance
of the "Mets," Tobin was the "candy."
Every once in a while Tobln would
start after a "Met" player and it
wouldn't be long before Charles would
overhaul him. check, and with a swish
of the stick in a manner entirely To-
bin's own, he would annex the ouc-k
and start down toward the opposition's
goal. The fans were unanimous in their
praise of Tobin's work.
The fans are still "harping" on the
cowardly act of Fowler, Seattle's goal-
Keeper, who took a couple of hard
punches at Umpire Pierce's jaw after
he had bounced his hockey stick off
Pierce's head twice without any provo
cation.
True, Pierce was hasty in raising his
hand, indicating Portland had scored
goal; but, upon seeing the puck off
to one side of the net after having
struck one of the iron stanchions.
Pierce was quick to realize his mistake
aind soon dropped his hand to his side.
3ATTLE baseball fans are up in the
air over the bungling manner In
which the Pacific Coast Interna
tional League seems to be dishing out
baseball news. Clifford Harrison, sport
ing editor of the Seattle Times, under
the non-de-plume of "Colonel Lore,
gives President Blewett and Dave
Dugdale, owner of the Seattle team,
one of those gentle nttie -pannings
which seem to be quite the style around
the circuit. Read what the "Colonel"
has to say:
Today's Installment is going- to be a littla
drama In u many acts as is necessary to
tell the story entitled "Driving tho Public
Ami From the Ball Parks."
Colonel Lore was peeved this morning
when he came tn.
"1 Just overheard a conversation on the
streetcar that woke me up to what these
merry mairnates of ours are doing, he said.
"You know I love baseball as no other game
and I do so want to see It nourish.
First off in thle drama of ours we will
name the characters. They are Bob Blewett.
Dugdale. sundry baseball reporters and last,
but not least, the long-suffering baseball
loving public.
First Act.
(Time. last Saturday: place. Seattle: char
acters on either end of telephone wires.)
Baseball reporter Mr. Blewltt, what Is
new today T
Mr. Blewett Nothing at all. nothing at
all. Tve been so busy with legal matters
this week that I haven't had time to think of
a thing.
Baseball reporter That's too bad (it -was
only a few hours until bis Sunday page went
to press).
B. R. bangs up telephone receiver, thinks
a moment and calls another number.
Baseball reporter Mr. Dugdale, what do
you know that's new?
Dugdale I haven't signed Bill Leard yet.
We have been corresponding and there Is
only a matter of a few dollars between us.
Yes: I think oia Bcrappy jjiii win ds oaca
leading the Giants this season.
Oh. yes. We had an informal meeting In
Mr. Blewett's office today and voted to drop
Butte from the league. Russ Hall and Bob
and I were there and we got Judge Mc
Credie and Farr on the telephone. We all
voted to forget jutie. nun inose people
feeling the way they ao towards Daseball
there is no use wasting money sending Bob
Brown up there. So we Just voted them out
of the league and told Brown to stay at
home.
We are going aneaa wun live ciuos
Seattle. Portland. bpoKane. lacoma ant
Vancouver and the Camp Lewis club. That
will make us a fine compact league.
Baseball reporter inana you. Dug.

Second Act.

of the Sunday Times on the streets, bearing
the announcement, arousing ol ire ol rival
newsDaper men who failed to secure facta.
and coming of blue Monday.)
(Note This Is as we Imagine it.)
Second baseball reporter Mr. Blewett.
why didn't you give me that announcement
about .Butte Doing arjppea una tuo league ;
Mr. 'Blewett I didn't give It out. I'm
trying to keep both Butte and Great Falls In
the league. You know Tve always insisted
they should be in the league. They are good
Daseoall towns, both of them.
Second baseball reporter All right, Mr.
Blewett. Thank you. (Turns to machine
and also starts grinding. Writes denial that
Butte has been dropped from the league.)
Third Act.
(Allow for passing of more time, appear
ance of another paper bearing said denial,
arousing Ire of first baseball reporter who
sees bis perfectly good announcement denied
by the league executive.)
First baseball reporter Mr. Blewett,
what's the idea of your denying that an
nouncement- about Butte being dropped
trom the league?
Mr. . Blewett I didn't deny it. I didn't
know Dug was going to give It out and you
know I'm trying hard to keep those Mon
tana cities In the league. I've written to
some personal friends of mine over there to
see what we can do. If I can, I'm going to
put new people in charge over there and
keep both Butte and Great Falls playing
ball. They are great natural ball towns.
Fourth Act.
(Allow for tle flight of fancy caused by
the baseball writer's dream of what might
have been.)
Baseball magnates (after considerable con
fab together, back stage and long distant
telephoning) That will make a good yarn
for the boys to use In their Sunday papers.
won't it? Call them In.
(Enter baseball reporters.)
Magnates Boys, we will have to drop
Butte from the league. Bob here Is dead
set on keeping those Montana cities in, md
If he is able to get some definite proposal
from over there we will be glad to consider
those cities again. But as things stand
now we don't feel like throwing good money
after bad. sending Bob Brown over there.
So we have voted to consider Butte out of
the league and told Bob Brown to stay at
home.
Firth Act.
(Now come back to earth, face the real
situation and listen to the fifth act.)
Man on streetcar (Reads camouflaged
denials of Butte being dropped from the
league) Oh, how I would like to read some
real baseball news!
(Other men on streetcar look up to se
who this real American is. Their smiles
quickly change to sadness as it dawns upon
them that on this lovely bprlngllke morn
ing they would like to do the same thing.)
Man on streetcar continues I'd give half
my week s wages Just to see in place of all
this petty bickering an announcement that
Seattle had signed another Bill James. If
they'd just print one yarn telling where the
Giants were going to train and what the
schedule is they could leave all the rest of
the paper blank and I'd read It just the
same.
If they'd just print who was going to
catch, who was to make up the pitching
staff, what Infielders we were going to watch
and who the slugging outfielders were go
ing to be, I'd willingly pay 25 cents a day
for that paper.
But. instead of that. Just look what I've
got to read.
Oh, boys, why can't we have real baseball?
Chorus of other men on car Yea, verily,
why caa't we? (
Blows Are Heavy.
Fowler, without any. physical provo
cation, raised his stick and, with two
swats on Pierce's head, raised bumps
big enough to hang your hat on. Pierce
started to tell Fowler he had made a
mistake and that the goal would not
count, and for that assertion Fowler
landed two right crosses on Pierce's
jaw before the players and referee
could Intervene. Pierce wore spectacles
at the time.
Fowler showed what he was made of
when he pulled his stunt and, had it
not been for police interference, he
would have been roughly handled.
Pierce said after the game that he
learned a good lesson and from now on
he was going to live up to the old
adage, "Be sure you're right, then go
ahead."
Taylor, of Vancouver, still leads the
players in number of points scored
with 20 goals and S assists for a total
f 25 points. The demon Vancouver
center is playing a wonderful gams
and is mainly responsible for the ma
jority of games Vancouver Is credited ,
with In the "win" column. In all the
games Taylor has participated In he
has failed to draw a penalty for in
fraction of the rules.
Morris In Second Place.
Bernie Morris occupies second place
In the total-points-scored column with
14 goals and 7 assists for a total of 21
points. Morris has drawn the ire of the
referee on five occasions for a total
penalty of 15 minutes. "Doc" Roberts,
of the "Mets," was unable to register
against Portland Friday night, but even
at that he still clings to third place in
the point-getters' column with 16 goals
and 2 assists. Roberts has suffered
a like number of penalties with Morris.
Charlie Tobin, who is playing the
best hockey of his career, stepped
ahead of Tommy Dunderdale after Fri
day night's game and ranks fourth
highest man among the league scores
with 11 goals and 3 assists to his credit.
Tobin has not drawn a penalty this
season.
Tommy Dunderdale is closely press
ing Tobln for scoring honors among
the Portland septet and to date has
scored 10 goals and S assists, being
one point shy of breaking even with
Tobin. Dunderdale occupies the top
rung In the penalty column, having
been chastised 15 times for a total of
67 minutes.
Eddie Oatman and Harris are tied In .
the point-getting column with a total
of 11 points each.
Loughlin, Barbour, Tobin and John
son have" failed to draw a penalty to
date.
