VRD -tf STOKES COMP'NY (flit's" K ; ' Barker Score, Touchdown After Ninety Yard Run Locals Outpointed Visitors at Every Stag of c Fast Contest. The Commercial Club football team closed the season at A. Y. C. park yes terday afternoon by shutting out the Chemawa Indian team in one of the best cxlbltlons of ball ever seen In the northwest. The .home eleven showed superior woik all around, and, while Its customary strong team work was not so much in evidence yesterday as here tofore, at critical times the line held like a stonewall, and the Indians were unable to make any material gains. Commercial went onto the vfleld in weakened condition. Minard, the right ta kle, was out of commission on ac count of a severe attack of tonsilitis. and Palnte right end, was put in at MinardVposltlon, Regan going to the end. While both Painter and Regan played excellent ball, the switch nec essarily interfered with the team work, and individual work was the main fea 'tuVe of the game. .: ', . The visitors were sanguine of victory and the result of the contest was a decided surprise to them. At Portland they had always held Multnomah for downs and forced the club eleven to punt, but yesterday they were unable to do anything with Commercial. They played Met ce ball, and frankly acknowl edged -after the contest that Commer cial vas the strongest aggregation up against which they had gone this seas on crack eastern men McCulIy and Bend er, from Haskell, ard Phozzonie, from Perish, California. Bay, Commercial's sturdy center, was pitted against Mc CulIy, and easily outpointed the east ern man, while Bender appeared op posite Gammal, who likewise proved too much for the imported article. Goddard took care of Phozzonie at left guard, Bender is the famous eastern pitcher and draws down a big salary from the Philadelphia Americans. Should Have Been 15-0. N yesterday's score, 6-0, should have teen 15-0, with a possible 17 for the home team, two flukes having been re sponsible for the short score. In the first half Barker started around Che mawa's left end, and, with perfect in terference from Gammal, Graham and Regiut, passed the Chtmawa safety. With a clear Held before him he start ed for the visitors' goal line, when a deaf and dumb spectator, who had been rendered irresponsible with excitement, md who heard not the frantic warning of the crowd on, the sidelines, planted himself squarely in front of the Com mercial back and brought him to a full stop. The interference was gufticlent to enable H Chemwa back to tackle Barker and down him, cutting off what would have been a certain touchdown. Again Giaham. Commercial s won derful little back, broke thrftugh with the ball at the middle of the field. He, too, had a clear field, but when Trullinger, who had been providing In terference for him, fell, the back was sent sprawling to the ground . Graham would furely have scored had It not been for this accident. Looked Bad for a Minute. For Just a minute at the opening of the game things looked bad for Com mercial. Chemawa kicked off to Aber- cromble at Commercial' goal line, and the local back advanced the ball 25 yard. Barker was sent around the left end for an additional 25 yards, and was downed as he had, Just fairly started on what looked like another long run for a touchdown. Then Che mawa gained the ball on downs, and. 36 years sold newspapers and maga zines in the kiosk at the corner o fthe Rue Scribe and the Boulevard dea Ca (names in front" of the Grand Hotel.
