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.
She was the especial protege of the
Americans who I atronized the Tiotel

The funeral promises to be one of
the most notable Pari has seen for
some time. A , prominent club for
many years aent a carriage nightly to
the' kiosk to take lime. Dupperon

houses, were offered the old woman but
she never would accept a present. She
contributed $2000 t othe cause of Na

an emperor, he sought to reward her
she proudly refused all his proffered
favors. It is supposed the govern
ment's decision to close the kiosk over
which she presided so many years

Paris, Dec' 26. (Special) It is
