NO MRS. OLSON
Master of the Alliance Kept
Busy Denying Rumor of His
Marriage.
Not a few of Captain Olson's
frjends were waiting for him this
morning when the Alliance drew up
to anchor in Coos Bay. "Congratula
tions," "How is Mrs.' Olson," "Where
Is Mrs. Olson," and "Is there really
and truly a Mrs. Olson," were a few
of the rapid fire expressions that
greeted him as a score or more rush
ed forward to grasp his hand.
"There's nothing to it yet and I
wish I know who started the report,"
retorted Captain Olson, smiling des
pite the bother that had been occa
sioned by someone starting the re
port that he was secretly wed In
Portland a few weeks ago.
While everyone hero is willing to
vouch for the truth and veracity, of
Captain Olsbn's statements, ordinari
ly, spme claim that under cir
cumstances like tho present ones, it
might be possible for him to deviate
slightly now and thoy are still won
dering whether or not there Is really
a Mrs. Olson.
Captain Olson says that If he Is
assured that a sufficient number of
his friends really have purchased a
fine lot of wedding presents, and,
rather than disappoint them, he
might, well the Alliance had a fine
trip down, more than pleasing to F.
P. Baumgartner, the genial general
agent of the company at Portland,
who came down to attend the Hoo
Hoo Concatenation at North B6nd
tonight. Mr. Baumgartner who has
long been a Coos Bay booster Is more
than pleased with tho prospects of It
now. He says that business is fair
ly good, not quite up the standard of
last season but he hopes that it will
soon be back to a normal condition.

Marshfield and North Bend jour
neyed to Bandon and Coquille, res
pectively, yesterday and took tho
valley teams down the line at a fast
clip. Bandon lost to Marshfield 5
to 2 and Coquille after battling for
thirteen innings went down before
North Bend by a score of 9 to 8. Both
games are declared to have been
among the best that have ever been
seen In this section, the weather be
ing the best ever despite tho threat
ening indications of Saturday night
and early Sunday morning that kept
a few hundred Coos Bay fans from
accompanying the teams. As it was,
between 150 and 200 went over from
Coos Bay.
The Bandon-Marshfleld game wns
good straight ball, the Marshfield
team simply outplaying the home ag
gregation. There were a few kicks,
tho principal one being by "Skinny
Myers" who threatened to lick tho
umpire because ho (Myers) was
called out for deliberately getting
in front of a pitched ball. The Ban
don fans even protested against
Myers' kick. Jordan, tho Berkeley
university pitcher, imported by Ban
don, was not at his best owing to
having just arrived on the M. F.
Plant and still suffering from the ef
fects of seasickness.
Tho Coqullle-North Bond game was
a battle royal in which both sides
kicked more or less on tho umpire.
Taylor saved the day for North Bend,
going Into the box in tho soventh in
ning and holding down Coquille to
two hits and a scratch and s'triklrig
out five men and shutting out a
score at home when Flanagan had a
passed ball. Wilson started to pitch
for North Bend but went up in the
air in the fifth, walking four men In
succession. Gaffney then tried it but
fell down hard and Taylor was put
In. On the whole tho game was snap

money's worth.
